This year, we’re going to do something a little bit different during Sex In Medicine Week. At your suggestion, we’re doing a special personal stories event.  In order to make it happen, we need your help!

We are looking for stories, long or short, about your experience with gender in medical, allied health and public health fields.

No matter who you are or where you came from, whether you are cisgender, transgender, male, female, or anything in between, you’ve all had experiences worth sharing, and we want to hear about it.

Here’s a few questions to ponder as you prepare to send us your stories:

When was the first time that you were aware of your gender at school or in your work in healthcare?

When were you proud of being your gender when you were at work or school in healthcare?

When have you faced barriers in the medical system because of your gender, if at all?  How have you addressed them?

Stories will be posted here, on our website. Stories will also be used in our event in February.

To submit stories: email to robin(dot)brehm(at)gmail(dot)com, or simply comment on this post. If you would like to remain anonymous, please let us know.
