  • Transgender Rights and Gender-Affirming Care

    New Name, Who Dis? Yes, the podcast formerly known as Aspiring Black Social Worker has a new name. We are now This Virgo Life, and I give a brief explanation of why the name was changed at the top of the episode. But the good part is the conversation that follows. I talked with a few other aspiring social workers about transgender rights, gender-affirming care, and why this has become a political issue lately. Here is the link to the webpage with all of the resources that we mentioned https://shawneequabigelow.wixsite.com/thisvirgolife/post/let-s-talk-about-trans-rights-and-gender-affirming-care.
