Izishoshovu nabameli be-LGBTQ bebekhuluma ngokubandlululwa kwabantu be-transgender isikhathi eside. Kepha uma uqaphele imiyalezo emikhulu ngalesi sihloko kuma-social media nakumamagazini ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, kunesizathu.

NgoJanuwari 2021, abaphathi bakaTrump bahoxisa umthetho owawukwenza kube semthethweni ukucwasa abantu ngenxa yobunikazi bobulili noma ukukhetha ubulili. Ngamanye amagama, bakwenza kwaba semthethweni ukubandlulula umphakathi we-LGBTQ.

Ngenhlanhla, lokhu kwaphela izinyanga ezimbalwa. Enye yezinto zokuqala uJoe Biden ayenza ngesikhathi esesikhundleni kwaba ukuhlehlisa leli cala. NgoMeyi 2021, uNobhala Wezindaba eMnyangweni Wezempilo kanye Nezinsizakalo Zabantu e-United States wakhipha isitatimende esithi ngeke kubekezelelwe ukucwaswa kwabantu ngokobulili noma ngokocansi. (Ama-Olimpiki e-Tokyo aphinde aletha izingxoxo mayelana nabasubathi be-transgender phezulu.)

Noma ukubandlulula okususelwa ebulilini kungahle kungabi semthethweni okwamanje, lokho akusho ukuthi ama-transgender nabantu abangabhalisi bathola ukunakekelwa abakudingayo. Phela, umhlinzeki wokunakekelwa kwezempilo ongabandlululi ngokuqhubekayo akafani nomhlinzeki oqinisekisa ubulili futhi okwaziyo.

Ngezansi, ukuwohloka kokucwaswa ngokobulili ngaphakathi kwendawo yokunakekelwa kwezempilo. Futhi, amathiphu angu-3 okuthola omunye wabahlinzeki abambalwa abaqinisekisayo laphaya, nokuthi yini ozakwethu abangayenza ukuze basize.

Ukubandlululwa Kwezokunakekelwa Kwezempilo KweTransgender Ngezinombolo

AbakwaTrans bathi babhekene nokubandlululwa ekunakekelweni kwezempilo kuyisizathu esanele sokubasekela futhi balwele ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okwanele. Kepha izibalo zifakazela ukuthi lolu daba luphuthuma kakhulu.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyindlela yokwenqaba ukunakekelwa noma ukungazi ngezidingo ezithile, amaphesenti angu-56 abantu be-LGBTQ babika ukuthi bayabandlululwa ngenkathi befuna ukwelashwa esikhathini esithile ekuphileni kwabo, ngokusho kwe-National LGBTQ Task Force. Kubantu abangama-transgender, ikakhulukazi, izinombolo ziyethusa kakhulu, ngamaphesenti angama-70 abhekene nokubandlululwa, ngokusho kweLambda Legal, inhlangano yezomthetho neyokumela ye-LGBTQ.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ingxenye yabo bonke abantu abashintsha ubulili babika ukuthi kufanele bafundise abahlinzeki babo mayelana nokunakekelwa kwabesifazane ngesikhathi befuna ukunakekelwa, ngokusho kwe-Task Force, ephakamisa ukuthi ngisho nabahlinzeki funa ukuze uqinisekise abanalo ulwazi oludingekayo noma ikhono elibekiwe ukwenza kanjalo.

Lokhu kwehlela ekwehlulekeni okuhlelekile kohlangothi lwezimboni zezokwelapha ukuba lubandakanye wonke umuntu. "Ukube ubungashayela idlanzana lezikole zobudokotela ubuze ukuthi zingakanani isikhathi abazinikezela ekufundiseni mayelana nokunakekelwa kwezempilo okubandakanya i-LGBTQ +, impendulo ejwayelekile oyitholayo inguziro, kanti iningi ozolithola ngu-4 kuye ku-6 '' kusho u-AG Breitenstein, umsunguli kanye ne-CEO kwa-FOLX, ongumhlinzeki wezinsizakalo zezempilo ozinikele ngokuphelele emphakathini we-LGBTQ +. Eqinisweni, bangamaphesenti angama-39 kuphela abahlinzeki abazizwa benolwazi oludingekayo ukwelapha iziguli ze-LGBTQ, ngokusho kocwaningo olushicilelwe ku Ijenali yeClinical Oncology ngo-2019.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, "abantu abaningi abasebenza ngokweqile babika ukuthi bathola nzima ukuthola abahlinzeki bempilo yengqondo abanekhono ngokwamasiko," kusho uJona DeChants, usosayensi ocwaningayo iTrevor Project, engenzi nzuzo egxile ekuvikeleni ukuzibulala kwabantu abathandana nabobulili obufanayo, abesilisa nabesilisa abesilisa nabesifazane, abesilisa nabesifazane, abathandanayo nababuza imibuzo ngokusebenzisa Amapulatifomu wezinsizakalo ezibucayi ezingama-24/7. Umbiko wakamuva ovela kuThe Trevor Project uthole ukuthi amaphesenti angama-33 abo bonke abasha be-transgender nabangewona amantombazane abazizwa bethole ukunakekelwa okuphezulu kwezempilo yengqondo ngoba bengazizwa ukuthi umhlinzeki uzoqonda ukuthambekela kwabo kwezocansi noma ubunikazi bobulili. "Lokhu kuyashaqisa njengoba sazi ukuthi intsha ye-transgender kanye nabantu abadala banamathuba amaningi kunoontanga bayo be-cisgender ukubika izimpawu zempilo yengqondo ezifana nokudangala nokucabanga ukuzibulala noma imizamo," usho kanje.

Impela Kusho Ukuthini Lokhu Ngabantu AbakwaTransgender

Impendulo emfushane ukuthi uma abantu abadlulayo becwaswa ezindaweni zokunakekelwa kwezempilo - noma besaba ukubandlululwa - ngeke baye kudokotela. Idatha iphakamisa ukuthi cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yabantu abadlulayo ababambezela ukunakekelwa ngalezi zizathu.

Inkinga? "Kwezokwelapha, ukuvikela ukunakekelwa okungcono kakhulu," kusho u-Aleece Fosnight, umsizi kadokotela we-ob-gyn kanye nomqondisi wezokwelapha e-Aeroflow Urology. Ngaphandle kokuvimbela kanye nokungenelela kwangaphambi kwesikhathi, abantu be-transgender bafakwa ezimeni lapho ukuxhumana kwabo kokuqala nodokotela kungaphakathi kwegumbi lezimo eziphuthumayo, kusho uBreitenstein. Ngokwezezimali, ukuvakashelwa kwamagumbi okuphuthumayo okujwayelekile (ngaphandle komshwalense) kungakubuyisela emuva kusuka ku- $ 600 kuye ku- $ 3,100, ngokuya ngombuso, ngokusho kwenkampani yezokunakekelwa kwempilo, iMira. Njengoba abantu abashintsha ubulili bangase baphile ngobumpofu ngokuphindwe kabili uma kuqhathaniswa nomphakathi jikelele, lezi zindleko azigcini nje ngokugcina, kodwa zingase zibe nemiphumela ehlala njalo, elimazayo.

Ucwaningo olulodwa luka-2017 olushicilelwe kulo magazini Impilo ye-Transgender bathole ukuthi abantu be-transgender ababambezela ukunakekelwa ngenxa yokwesaba ukubandlululwa babenempilo ebucayi kunaleyo engazange ibambezele ukunakekelwa. "Ukubambezeleka kokungenelela kwezokwelashwa ngezimo ezikhona kanye/noma ukubambezeleka kokuhlolwa kokuvikela kungaholela emiphumeleni emibi yezempilo ngisho ukufa," kusho u-DeChants.

Ukuthi Kubukeka Kanjani Empeleni Ukunakekelwa Kobulili Okuqinisekisa Ubulili, Ukunakekelwa Kwezempilo Okungenamakhono

Ukuhlanganisa konke kudlulela ngalé kokubeka inketho yokukhetha "izabizwana" zakho efomini lokuthathayo noma ukubonisa ifulegi lothingo egumbini lokulinda. Okokuqala, kusho ukuthi umhlinzeki uhlonipha lezo zimemezelo nabesilisa ngendlela efanele noma ngabe abekho phambi kwalezo ziguli (ngokwesibonelo, engxoxweni nabanye odokotela, amanothi eziguli, nangokwengqondo). Kusho nokucela abantu kuyo yonke imikhakha yezobulili ukuthi bagcwalise leyo ndawo efomini futhi / noma bababuze ngqo. "Ngokubuza iziguli engizaziyo ukuthi ziyi-cisgender ukuthi yiziphi izabizwana zazo, ngiyakwazi nokujwayelekile ukwenza umkhuba wezabizwana wokwabelana ngaphandle kwezindonga zehhovisi," kusho uFosnight. Lokhu kudlulela ngalé kokungenzi lutho olubi, kepha ukufundisa ngenkuthalo zonke iziguli ukuthi zenze okubandakanya.

Kubiza amagama eceleni, ukunakekelwa okubandakanya wonke umuntu kubandakanya nokucela othile igama lakhe alithandayo (noma okungelona elisemthethweni) kumafomu okudla nokuthi bonke abasebenzi balisebenzise ngokungaguquguquki nangendlela efanele, kusho uDeChants. "Ezimweni lapho igama lomuntu elisemthethweni lingahambisani negama abalisebenzisayo, kubalulekile ukuthi umhlinzeki asebenzise igama elisemthethweni kuphela uma kudingeka ngenhloso yomshuwalense noma yezomthetho."

Kubandakanya abahlinzeki bebuza kuphela imibuzo bona isidingo impendulo ukuze unakekelwe ngendlela efanele. Kujwayelekile kakhulu ukuthi abantu abadlulayo babe yisitsha selukuluku lodokotela, becelwa ukuba baphendule imibuzo engenayo mayelana nezitho zokuzala, izitho zangasese, nezitho zomzimba ezingadingeki ukunakekelwa okufanele. "Ngangena ku-Urgent Care ngoba nganginomkhuhlane futhi umhlengikazi wangibuza ukuthi ngangihlinzwe phansi yini," kusho uTrinity, 28, eNew York City. "Bengifana ... ngiqinisekile ukuthi awudingi ukukwazi lokho ukuze ungiqokele uTamiflu." (Okuhlobene: Ngingumuntu omnyama, uQueer, noPolyamorous: Kungani Lokho Kubalulekile Kodokotela Bami?)

Ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okunolwazi olunzulu nakho kusho ukuthatha izinyathelo zokulungisa izindawo ezingaboni kahle zamanje. Isibonelo, "lapho umuntu ehlolela isifo sikashukela, udokotela kufanele abeke ukuthi ubulili babo buyini kumalebhu," kuchaza uBreitenstein. Umaka wakho wobulili ube esesetshenziselwa ukunquma ukuthi amazinga kashukela egazini awela ngaphakathi noma ngaphandle kwebanga elifanele. Lokhu kuyinkinga kakhulu. “Okwamanje azikho izindlela zokulinganisa lelo nani kubantu abadlulise ubulili,” kusho bona. Lokhu kwengamela ekugcineni kusho ukuthi umuntu ongenwe yigciwane angaxilongwa ngokungalungile, noma amakwe njengokusobala lapho engaxilongwanga.

Izibonelo ezingeziwe zendlela yokusiza ukuhambisa uhlelo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo phambili kuzoba ukusebenzisa ukuqeqeshwa okwengeziwe kwabafundi bezokwelapha ngalezi zihloko, futhi izinkampani zomshuwalense zivuselela izinqubomgomo zazo ukuthi zifake abantu be-transgender. Isibonelo, "njengamanje, abantu abaningi abadlulayo besilisa kufanele balwe nezinkampani zabo zomshuwalense ukuze bathole ukunakekelwa kwabesifazane ngoba uhlelo aluqondi ukuthi kungani umuntu one-'M 'efayeleni lakhe angayidinga leyo nqubo," kuchaza uDeChants. (Okwengeziwe ngezansi kokuthi wena, njengesiguli esidlulayo noma umngane wakho, ungasiza kanjani ukukhuthaza ushintsho, ngezansi.)

Ungakuthola Kanjani Ukunakekelwa Kwezempilo Okubandakanyayo

"Abantu kufanele babe nelungelo lokucabanga ukuthi abahlinzeki bazodlulisela phambili futhi baqinise, kepha akunjalo emhlabeni manje," kusho uBreitenstein. Ngenhlanhla, ngenkathi ukunakekelwa okunekhono lokushintshana (hhayi) kuyinto ejwayelekile, kodwa ikhona. Lezi zeluleko ezintathu zingakusiza ukuthi uzithole.

1. Sesha iwebhu.

UFosnight uncoma ukuqala kuwebhusayithi yabasebenza / yamahhovisi ngemishwana yokubamba efana ne- "trans-inclusive," "ukuqiniswa kobulili," kanye "nokubandakanya abanye," nolwazi lokuthi uwunakekela kanjani umphakathi we-LGBTQ. Kujwayelekile futhi kubahlinzeki abanekhono ukufaka izabizwana zabo kuma-bios naku-blurbs aku-inthanethi.

Ngabe wonke umhlinzeki okhomba ngale ndlela uzobe eqinisekisa? Cha. Kepha izingqinamba ngumhlinzeki ovumayo ozoba nalezi zikhombi, okwenza kube yisinyathelo sokuqala esihle enqubeni yokuqeda.

2. Shayela ihhovisi.

Ngokufanelekile, ngeke kube ngudokotela onekhono lokushintshana, kufanele kube yihhovisi lonke, umuntu owamukela izivakashi afakiwe. "Uma isiguli sihlangana nochungechunge lwe-transphobic microaggressions ngaphambi kokungena ehhovisi lami, leyo yinkinga enkulu," kusho uFosnight.

Buza imibuzo yokwamukela njengokuthi, "Ngabe [faka igama lodokotela lapha] wake wasebenza nanoma imuphi umuntu we-transgender noma ongeyena owenambambili ngaphambili?" kanye nokuthi "Lenzani ihhovisi lakho ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abantu abashintshashintshayo bazokhululeka ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kwabo?"

Ungesabi ukucacisa ngemibuzo yakho, uthi. Isibonelo, uma ungumuntu omkhulu futhi usebenzisa i-hormone replacement therapy, buza ukuthi ngabe udokotela unolwazi yini nabantu abanalokho okuhlangenwe nakho okuphilayo. Ngokufanayo, uma ungowesifazane odlulisayo ku-estrogen odinga ukuhlolwa komdlavuza webele, buza ukuthi ngabe ihhovisi selike lasebenza nabantu ngobunikazi bakho.

3. Buza umphakathi wangakini we-queer wasendaweni ne-inthanethi ukuze uthole izincomo.

"Iningi labantu abafuna ukwelashwa kithi lifunde ngomngane ukuthi singabahlinzeki abaqinisekisayo," kusho uFosnight. Ungathumela isilayidi ezindabeni zakho ze-IG ezithi, "Ngifuna i-ob-gyn eqinisekisa ubulili endaweni enkulu yaseDallas. Nginike ama-recs akho!" noma ukuthumela ekhasini lakho le-Facebook lomphakathi we-LGBTQ, "Ingabe bakhona abasebenza nge-trans-affirming endaweni? Siza i-enby out futhi wabelane!"

Esimeni lapho umphakathi wakho ungezi khona nezincomo? Zama izinkomba ezisesheka online ezinjengeRad Remedy, MyTransHealth, Transgender Care Listings World Professional Association for Transgender Health, kanye neGay and Lesbian Medical Association.

Uma lezi zingxenyekazi zingalethi imiphumela yosesho - noma ungenazo izinto zokuhamba eziya noma ezibuya kwi-aphoyintimenti, noma ongakwazi ukuthatha ikhefu emsebenzini ukuze ufike ngesikhathi - cabanga ngokusebenzisana nomhlinzeki we-telehealth olungele i-queer njengo-FOLX, uPlume , neQueerDoc, ngayinye enikeza ukuqoqwa kwezinsizakalo okuhlukile. (Bona Okuningi: Funda Kabanzi Nge-FOLX, i-Telehealth Platform eyenziwe ngabantu be-Queer for Queer People)

Indlela Abasizi Abangasiza Ngayo

Indlela yokusekela abantu be-transgender nabangewona amabhakaniya abathola ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kuqala ngokubasekela empilweni yakho yansuku zonke ngezinto ezibandakanya:

1. Ukuzikhomba njengomlingani futhi wabelane ngezabizwana zakho kuqala.
2. Ukubuka ngeso izinqubomgomo emsebenzini wakho, emakilabhini, ezindaweni zezenkolo, nasezindaweni zokuzivocavoca nokuqinisekisa ukuthi zifinyeleleka kubantu kuwo wonke umkhakha wobulili.
3. Ukususa izilimi zobulili (njengokuthi "ladies and gentleman") kusilulumagama sakho.
4. Ukulalela nokusebenzisa okuqukethwe ngama-trans folks.
5. Sibungaza ama-trans folks (uma esaphila!).

Mayelana nokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngqo, khuluma nodokotela wakho (noma owamukela izivakashi) uma amafomu okudla engabandakanyi wonke umuntu. Uma umhlinzeki wakho esebenzisa ulimi lokucwasa abantu abathandana nabantu abathandana nabo, i-transphobic, noma ulimi olucwasa abantu ngokobulili, shiya isibuyekezo se-yelp esimemezela esidlangalaleni lolo lwazi ukuze abantu abashintshashintshayo bakwazi ukufinyelela kulo, futhi ufake isikhalazo. Ungase futhi ucabange ukubuza udokotela wakho mayelana nokuthi yiluphi uhlobo lokuqeqeshwa kwe-trans-competency abaye bakuthola, okungasebenza njengokugudluza endleleni efanele. (Okuhlobene: I-LGBTQ+ Glossary of Gender and Sexuality Definitions Allies Okufanele Bazi)

Kubalulekile ngokufanayo ukwenza izinto ezifana nokufonela abamele indawo yakho uma izikweletu ezibandlululayo zizobuyekezwa (le Nkombandlela ethi Yenza Izwi Lakho Lizwakale ingasiza), kanye nokufundisa labo abaseduze kwakho ngengxoxo kanye nobushoshovu benkundla yezokuxhumana.

Ukuze uthole amathiphu amaningi wokusekela umphakathi we-transgender, bheka lo mhlahlandlela ovela ku-National Center For Transgender Equality kanye nalo mhlahlandlela Wendlela Yokuba Yiqiniso futhi Usize Ally.
