The Transgender Project
Every person has a pelvic floor and having access to information and resources about pelvic floor health is important regardless of assigned sex at birth, gender identity or sexuality. Currently there is very little information or resources available to the trans community regarding pelvic floor health, and WHEN are working on a project to address this.
Incontinence and other pelvic health issues affect people of all ages, genders and sexualities, it is vital to ensure that appropriate pelvic health information is available to all people regardless of assigned or presumed sex at birth, gender identity and sexuality.
