CAPITAL TRANSPRIDE 2017 – MORNING WORKSHOPS 10:00 AM – 10:45 AM

Protecting My Gender ID w/ Healthcare Power of Attorneys & ID Documents and Name Level 1, Mead Theater Changes, Get Yours Now Attorneys from Whitman-Walker Health Legal Services Program will review the name and gender marker change process for DC, MD and VA residents and talk about updating name/gender on all ID records including Social Security records, birth certificates, passports, drivers' licenses, school records, and more! Attorneys will also discuss the importance of preparing and signing healthcare planning documents to protect your healthcare preferences and protect your gender identity by naming an agent to speak for you when you are unable to speak for yourself (usually in a healthcare emergency). We will also discuss the document "Disposition of Bodily Remains" which will protect your gender identity after you pass.

Understanding the Trans Attracted Man Level 2, Milton Theater Love and understanding go hand in hand and finding a spouse and having a strong positive is a goal that all of us seek and hope for. Trans women struggle with being understood and accepted but the trans community fails to acknowledge the other side of love which is the men that are willing to truly love a trans woman. This workshop will help trans women understand the obstacles men occur as a part of the trans community. The social and emotional obstacles they face that make it difficult to live their truth.

Hopefully with a better understanding trans women will be able to find and establish healthier and stable relationships with men.

Know Your Rights in Employment and the Workplace Level 4, Stage Join Teresa Rainey of the D.C. Office of Human Rights for an overview of trans employment rights and your rights in the workplace. The D.C. OHR is participating in the resource fair and can also answer any additional questions.

During this session, we will discuss Kaiser Permanente's structure and philosophy as well as what services our trans* members are able to access. We will also discuss our diverse workforce and how it is easy to apply for positions throughout the organization. There will be time for Q and A at the end.

11:00 AM – 11:45 AM

Explicación sobre el mîto del asilo político | Asylum Myths Explained Level 1, Mead Theater This workshop will be conducted in Spanish. Attorneys from Whitman-Walker Health Legal Services will talk about the asylum process, common myths about this form of immigration relief, and key factors that applicants should consider.

Navigating the Maze of Health Insurance Level 2, Milton Theater Attorneys from Whitman-Walker Health Legal Services Program will review how public and private health insurance plans do and do not cover transition-related healthcare needs, how to appeal denials of coverage, and what to look for when selecting new coverage.

Safer Sex for Trans Bodies Level 4, Stage For too long, trans people have been left out of conversations about sex. No longer with Safer Sex for Trans Bodies, a first-of-itskind resource guide to help trans people talk about their sexual health needs with people in their lives. The guide includes a glossary of terms for body parts, and quotes on sex and relationships from members of the community. This workshop will explore safer sex practices and other related topics through a moderated panel discussion with a team of advocates, providers, and community health workers who helped put the guide together. Participants will leave this workshop with copies of the guide and actionable information.
