IBS153: Healthcare with a Heart

Heartfelt Healthcare for Trans Individuals

Susie Green explores the compassionate realm of trans healthcare, reflecting on her journey and the pressing need for inclusive, medically overseen support systems that champion resilience, authenticity, and societal acceptance.

In this episode of The Inclusion Bites Podcast, Joanne Lockwood engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Susie Green about the challenges and triumphs in providing compassionate healthcare for trans individuals. Susie shares her insights on the evolving landscape of trans healthcare, the societal impacts of current anti-trans rhetoric, and the pivotal role that support systems play in the lives of trans youth. Joanne and Susie also examine the damaging effects of misinformation and discrimination on trans individuals and their families, shedding light on the pressing need for informed, empathetic care.

Susie Green is co-founder and co-director of Anne Health, an organisation dedicated to offering accessible and compassionate healthcare for trans people of all ages. Her journey into this crucial work began when her daughter, at the age of four, expressed her true gender identity. Susie’s firsthand experiences as a mother of a trans child fuelled her passion for advocacy and inclusive healthcare. Known for her resilience and dedication, Susie has been a prominent figure in the trans community for over two decades, previously serving as CEO of Mermaids, a charity that supports transgender youth and their families. Her expertise and personal experiences make her an invaluable advocate for trans rights and healthcare.

Joanne and Susie delve into the stark realities trans individuals face, from the lack of informed healthcare professionals to the toxic narratives perpetuated by mainstream media. They discuss the critical importance of puberty blockers as a means to provide trans youth with space to explore their identities safely, countering the harmful misconceptions that often surround this treatment. Susie emphasises that denying access to such care is not a neutral act—it has severe and sometimes fatal consequences for trans youth.

The episode concludes with Susie sharing the mission of Anne Health and its commitment to offering safe, personalised care for trans individuals. Despite the hate and legal challenges faced, Susie remains steadfast in her commitment to support and uplift the trans community. Joanne and Susie urge listeners to foster understanding, hold space for those struggling, and continue advocating for inclusive healthcare practices.

A key takeaway from this episode is the urgent need for empathy and informed care in supporting trans individuals. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the systemic challenges faced by the trans community and the importance of access to safe, affirming healthcare. This episode serves as a powerful call to action to challenge the status quo and advocate for a more inclusive and compassionate society.
