Trans-People are Just Normal People - Health for All with Eva Echo

Rini Paul (She/Her), a GP and Medical Educator at King’s College London interviews Eva Echo (She/They) Trans-Activist, Educator, Director of Birmingham Pride who also works with the Crown Prosecution Services.  

In this 28 min podcast Eva discusses their coming out journey, the challenges with accessing healthcare for transgender people and why she had to pay for some aspects of their care privately. She uses her voice to remind our students, medical educators, and clinicians that we need to normalise transpeople and transhealthcare, that knowledge is the key to inclusion and to lean into our privilege and empathy and use our voices to support those who need it the most. 

TW - there is mention of self-harm in this episode.
