Summary:
"To
remedy
means to heal, to cure, to set right, to make reparations. The
Remedy
invites writers and readers to imagine what we need to create healthy, resilient, and thriving LGBTQ communities. This anthology is a diverse collection of real-life stories from
queer
and
trans
people on their own health-care experiences and challenges, from gay men living with HIV who remember the systemic resistance to their health-care needs, to a lesbian couple dealing with the experience of cancer, to young
trans
people who struggle to find health-care providers who treat them with dignity and respect. The book also includes essays by health-care providers, activists, and leaders, with something to say about the challenges, politics, and opportunities surrounding LGBTQ
health
issues. Both exceptionally moving and an incendiary call-to-arms, The
Remedy
is a must-read for anyone--gay, straight,
trans
, and otherwise--passionately concerned about the right to proper
health
care
for all. Contributors include Amber Dawn, Sinclair Sexsmith, Francisco Ibanez-Carrasco, Cooper Lee Bombardier, Kara Sievewright, Kelli Dunham, and many more."--From publisher.
