Trans & Gender Non-Binary Healing Practices
Introduction
This programme is TGNB led from the ground up to create time and space for various healing practices. It primarily looks at TGNB migrant and refugee health as well as healing justice circles.
There is a need for complementary healing practices that are culturally literate and led directly by the people. Micro healing grants are small, unrestricted stipends that provide the recipient an opportunity to have space to think about their healing and enquire about healing strategies that are currently not available to them
From our Migrant Trans POC Justice programme we bring forward this piece of working on providing micro-grants designed to give autonomy and dignity to individuals and communities.
From our Trans and Gender Non-Binary Health Justice Programme, we bring forward the work of Nina Rivera, who is an organiser, healer, and advocate of Trans Women's Migrant Rights. She is the recipient of our first Healing grant, where she brought together Trans Migrant Women into a space of Kinship and healing.
These two essays reflect on non-western healing epistemologies, both as an opportunity for healing and as a response to the harms of the western medical industrial complex.
Trans Peoples have opened up our minds to another way of imagining our personhood, to have mental and spiritual autonomy over our beingness. Imagination and autonomy are significant and essential elements in our liberation which is rooted in our healing. This report is an introductory look at the different pathways of stress and trauma impacted Trans communities.
This report explores how sex and gender are one way of conceptualising a complex ecosystem made up of multiple cells and microbes which digests, reproduces, thinks, and loves, rather than a universal truth.
This report provides a lived experience led insight into the inequities that put Transgender People’s health at risk further risk from climate change.
