[Diversity-talk] Fwd: [Tagging] Tagging Informed Consent for Trans*/🏳️‍⚧️ healthcare in OSM?

[Adina Bogert-O'Brien]

Mateus, this is something some clinics/doctors officially do though, so it
would be verifiable. It's not like saying, "we won't belittle you" or "our
food is yummy." It's a clear clinic policy around what criteria you need to
fulfill in order for them to treat you. It's more comparable to indicating
the kind of therapy a therapist offers (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy vs.
psychoanalysis for example), what insurance is accepted (private or
public), or that an organization offers services to a certain group of
people (women, youth, LGBTQ*, undocumented people, etc.).

Rory, I like your first suggestion,
healthcare:trans:informed_consent=yes/no, but I need to caveat that with
the statement that I am far from an expert on tagging or informed consent
;)

Your trans*:informed_consent=yes is also really appealing. Then you have a
whole category for other trans* care options.

It seems that the question of informed consent doesn't just cover hrt, it
covers surgeries and possibly other treatments I think? Is that also your
understanding? Initially I was thinking it would make a lot of sense to
include the specific therapy covered by informed consent, but maybe that's
redundant since if you treat based on informed consent, that seems like it
would cover all aspects of care provided to trans folks - but it would be
good to confirm that as well. And the other tagging (eg: trans*:hrt=yes, or
healthcare:specialty:endocrinology, or maybe healthcare:specialty:surgery?)
would tell you what other types of service they offer?

idk, really interesting questions.
