What is it like for a trans person to navigate their sexuality and wellbeing? What are the barriers for trans people to access sexual health and HIV prevention?

CNWL’s LGBTQ+ network, Pride@CNWL, has invited Michelle Ross, Dominic Reilly and Tom Vlietstra to discuss these questions with us at a virtual event between 6.30pm and 8pm on 30 March 2023.
