Oct. 23: Transgender Health Care
Transgender health care is under siege in the United States. Earlier this year, states began passing bills that prohibit minors from accessing mental health and medical care related to transitioning. North Carolina has become a leader in prohibitions to care with the passing of the “Bathroom Bill” and, in August 2024, the “Minor’s Law.” We will discuss the impact of these laws on both children and adults, and outline the increasing threat for the denial of civil and humanitarian rights to transgender people.
Dr. David Bathory is a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist who works with children, adults, and their families who are exploring their gender identity or are transgender, nonbinary, or intersex.
From 6 to 7 PM on most Wednesdays, following announcements and prayer, we engage various topics of faith with speakers, panels, and group discussion. Please see our youth and children’s ministry pages for information about concurrent programming for these ages.
