Hey! Listen! Sexual Self Advocacy in the Dr's Office

Doctors are meant to fix your problems, so why does talking to them about sex frequently create more issues than it solves?

Whether it's pap smears or STI tests, pregnancy planning or birth control, there's a lot to talk about, but your doctor may be just as uncomfortable having these conversations as you. How can you advocate for yourself as a trans, kinky, or poly person in a medical system that does not cater to marginalized identities and lifestyles? Sex educator Bianca Palmisano and Internal Medicine specialist Dr. Melanie Modjoros host this workshop to give you tips on navigating the complicated and sometimes uncomfortable conversations you need to have with your doctor about sexual health. Come with your questions for an honest conversation about taking care of your body.
