As you may be aware, CDH and TGH staff have been working hard to refresh the Video section of our respective sites.  This has been because of you, our members.  Many of you asked for more content and suggested some intriguing topics or have pitched some great ideas.  Thank you for your inspiration!

If you’ll bear with me for a moment, I want to give a big shout out to Jasmine Marie, Kimberly Dawn and Vanessa Law for making it happen.  It’s not been easy.  These are some of the challenges we had to overcome.

– What platform should we use to simulcast live video streams across CDH, TGH and our YouTube channels?

– How do we integrate chat into the live streams and moderate it in real time?

– What content will have widespread appeal to the broad audiences at CDH and TGH?

– What production values will appeal to our audiences?

– Who is out there that has the knowledge and available to bring this content to life in a meaningful and authoritative manner?

– How do we ensure this initiative takes on a life of its own?

-Who among our staff has the technical ability and the availability to devote to this on a long-term basis?

Without further ado, I am very happy to announce that staff are putting the final touches on a new series of live stream videos scheduled to begin in February. 

To leadoff, one of our own CDH/TGH members, Dianna Haggerty @dianna, MD, PhD, (you know her as Dr. Dee) will be presenting a series of webinars on transgender healthcare.

Dr. Dee’s first webinar will address the how and where to obtain transgender care and medical transgender issues: Tales From the Trenches.

The next webinar in her series will address the practical ins and outs of gender affirming hormone therapy: Pills, Patches, and Shots…OH, MY!

Each of Dr. Dee’s presentations will last approximately 60 minutes and will be immediately followed by a 30-minute Q&A session to address your questions arising from the webinar and your gender concerns.  Each webinar will last a total of approximately 90 minutes.  The webinars will be recorded and will be available for viewing shortly after the webinar finishes.

A St. Louis native, Dr. Dee has lived, taught medicine, and practiced in 7 cities each with over a million population. She now practices as a full-time family physician in rural Alabama. As a chronically over-educated academician (BS chemistry, MSc biochemistry (Univ. of Missouri), PhD physical biochemistry (Case Western Reserve University), MD and MPH in chronic disease epidemiology (Emory University), she was an early entrant into the academic world treating gender-related health care issues. Professionally, she has been providing hormone therapy to both transmasculine and transfeminine patients for 38+ years in both the University and private practice worlds.

Dr. Haggerty is currently in MTF transition, having been on hormone therapy for the past 3.5 years and having experienced gender affirming surgery as a senior adult.  “Working” professionally in the trenches for over three decades has provided her with a solid long-term perspective on where we have been, where we are now, and where we might be going with regards to gender care in the future. “Living” in those same trenches, as a transitioning physician, she has had an interesting and unique set of experiences, insights and personal-professional dilemmas. All of which she intends to share with us! Dr. Dee promises to deliver her tales with passion and humor!

Sound intriguing? We thought so too! Please plan on spending a worthwhile and entertaining 90 minutes with us in February for the first installment of Dr. Dee’s series on transgender healthcare.  Dates and times are below.  Stay tuned for a separate article to register for the event.

Hi I'm Elizabeth! You can call me 'Liz'. I always knew I should've been born a girl. I got caught wearing women's clothes when I was 4. I started actively crossdressing when I was 11. I got caught several times in my teens and in adulthood. I struggled with gender issues for decades. Self-loathing and mental trauma were a big part of my life. I came to terms with who I am in 2014. Then I got into therapy and worked on my issues for a few years. By 2019 I knew I had to meet other girls like me. That's when I stumbled upon CDH. The girls I met changed my life. Many of them are now chosen family. And my chosen family is still growing. In 2021 I realized transition was my only option for a happy life. I started HRT in September. I've been living full time since June 2022. I completed a legal name & gender change in May 2024. Gender confirmation surgery is likely. Today I live as my authentic self. Life has never been better. I love to chat and socialize with girls like me. This community means everything to me. Trans is beautiful. It's my hope that every one of us finds their happy place, wherever that may be. Professionally, I work in Information Technology Want to know more?? DM me.

What a great way to start. Im sure Dr. Lee will be a very intriguing presenter. I hope I am able to arrange some time to attend. Just curious if you will have chat open during the presentation or if you will hold back until the Q&A.

Thank you so much. I hope things go smoothly for all you wonder ladies.

🙏🙏🙏

I support your plans for the future very much. But I think, a first very simple step would be just to allow YT video links in forum postings. That wouldn’t afford a lot of staff and ‘administration’ because: YouTube is controlled and safe, adult content is protected and won’t be displayed The embedding is easy and legal, no copyright infringements to be expected For the recognition of ‘non-compliant’ content it doesn’t take more time to remove it, no matter whether it’s a video or a (perhaps long) forum text entry The CDH ‘Community Code of Conduct’ already mentions the possibility… Read more »

Randi, I would echo what Liz explained. Everything that I am going to present is related to best medical practices. These apply across continents, oceans, and health care systems. I would guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
We are the best and most powerful advocates for our own health care. Know what you should expect to get the most and best for yourself. I’ll offer two well worn expressions that are applicable here: Knowledge is a powerful thing! Know before you go!
Dr. Dee
