🎉 Register Now: The Gender-Affirming Menopause Symposium, This World Menopause Day!

We’re proud to officially launch registration page for the first annual Gender-Affirming Menopause Symposium—a groundbreaking two-day, live, virtual gathering taking place over World Menopause Day weekend, October 18–19, 2025.

Celebrating World Menopause Day with a Virtual Gathering Like No Other

This is the first symposium of its kind to center trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people in the menopause transition. Through storytelling, clinical training, community wisdom, and somatic support, this event brings together providers, educators, and community leaders to imagine what truly inclusive, affirming, and liberatory menopause care can look like.

🧠 Why This Event Matters

‼️ HIGH-IMPACT FACT:
There are an estimated 1.5 to 2 million AFAB trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people in the U.S. who are in the age range where they may experience menopause.
Yet most healthcare systems are unprepared to meet their needs.

Traditional models of menopause care can often erase gender-diverse bodies and experiences. Even well-meaning providers may lack the training, tools, or frameworks to offer care that is trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and rooted in equity.

The Gender-Affirming Menopause Symposium is here to change that.
