Breaking down barriers to trans healthcare
“On a scale from zero to 10, where zero is being a woman and 10 is being a man, how much do you feel like a man?”
This may sound like a question ripped from the pages of a teen magazine or an online quiz, but, until recently, it was one of the first questions encountered by many patients of the Trans Health Klinic, the only dedicated provider of transition-related healthcare in Manitoba for patients over the age of 14.
