The Transgender Resource Center of NM & Equality NM are launching a joint research project to learn more from our community members about how the current political environment is influencing your opinions about a number of different topics. This will include fears or comforts about the legislative environment of New Mexico, the social environment as experienced by you, the presence of or lack of support felt while performing your practice as it concerns gender affirming healthcare, and what movement you would like to see our state take over the coming years. 

Research will be conducted in a group format with a facilitator. Depending on geographic locations, this may involve local travel or access to a device with internet and Zoom access for a virtual discussion. 

Due to the nature of this research project, we are looking for participants that meet the following qualifications: 

• Live in or practice healthcare in the state of New Mexico, at least part-time

• Work with transgender, gender non-conforming, or androgynous patients to access gender affirming healthcare. 

• Willingness to participate in a 90 minute session (Zoom or in-person)

For your participation in this focus group, you will be provided with a $50 dollar Visa giftcard, travel reimbursement (for in-person participation), and meals (for in-person participation). 

Interested? Please fill out this form and members from TGRC and EQNM will be in contact with you to begin this research. Your participation will work to empower and grow the movement of LGBTQ liberation in New Mexico.
