'Conversations With' Series: Accessing care as a 2SLGBTQIA+ individual

In this new 'Conversations With' episode, Lara Bloom, President and CEO of The Ehlers-Danlos Society, joins Stevie Boebi, Annie Segarra, and Elliot Pippin to talk about accessing care as a 2SLGBTQIA+ individual. Ryder Richard was due to join us but sadly couldn't make it due to health issues - we hope to speak with you soon Ryder!⁠ 2SLGTBQIA+ is an acronym for Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and the plus reflects the countless affirmative ways in which people choose to self-identify. The discussion features personal stories, highlighting the challenges in obtaining diagnoses, the role of self-advocacy, and queerness, neurodivergence, and EDS and HSD. The importance of social media and community for support and resource sharing, and the need for greater accessibility in queer spaces are key topics.
