Loss of Trust: Societal Pressure and Gender-Affirming Care
Medical providers and researchers associated with gender-affirming care are facing immense societal, political, economic, and moral pressure. We will explore how these factors are affecting the medical and research landscapes, and in turn causing providers and researchers to lose trust in these systems.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior St), Chicago Campus. However, for this particular lecture there will not be a Zoom option.
