Sundhedsstyrelsen er ved at udarbejde en helt ny vejledning om sundhedsfaglig hjælp ved kønsidentitetsforhold og kønsmodificerende behandling. Sigtet med vejledningen er at sikre åbne og differentierede behandlingstilbud, der samtidig undgår at stigmatisere og sikrer høj kvalitet.
Som input til vores arbejde på området afholder vi denne konference, hvor vi både inviterer internationale og danske aktivister og fagfolk til at få belyst de forskellige perspektiver. Hvad ønsker transpersoner? Hvad kan sundhedspersonalet fagligt set tilbyde? Hvad tænker Sundhedsstyrelsen?
Alle er velkomne til at deltage i konferencen, både borgere, interesseorganisationer, fagpersoner, politikere og journalister med flere.
”Vi er glade for, at vi med kort varsel har kunnet få udenlandske foredragsholdere til København”, siger direktør for Sundhedsstyrelsen, Søren Brostrøm. ”Peggy Cohen-Kettenis er en pioner og stor faglig kapacitet på området. Hun har stået i spidsen for udviklingen i Holland gennem mange år, så jeg håber, at vi kan nyde godt af hendes erfaring”, fortsætter Søren Brostrøm.
På konferencen er der også oplæg fra Richard Köhler, der er talsmand for Transgender Europe (TGEU), en europæisk menneskerettighedsorganisation med 130 medlemsorganisationer i 42 lande, ligesom der vil være indlæg fra en klinikchef fra Stockholm og fra danske aktivister og fagfolk.
Arrangementet finder sted tirsdag den 28. marts 2017 kl. 1200-1640 på Scandic Copenhagen, Vester Søgade 6, 1601 København V.
