Trans-Health Conference - May 31 - June 2, 2012

Each June Mazzoni Center presents the Philadelphia Trans-Health Conference, a free event focusing on the specific issues, needs, and experiences of trans-identified individuals with regard to the health of body, mind, spirit, and community. PTHC covers a broad range of identities and experiences, and proudly offers a space for transgender people and our allies, families, and providers to come together to re-envision what health means for transgender people.

What does Trans* mean?

We’ve used the asterisk symbol (*) here to indicate a variable condition, and reflect a broad range of range of gender identities and experiences.  We are using Trans* as an umbrella term that includes anyone identifying along the transgender spectrum, those who consider themselves bi-gendered or multi-gendered, as well as people who do not identify with any labels.
