Trans Centered Support.

As a trans centered doula, Moss works from a fundamental understanding that people of all genders can and do experience gestation and pregnancy, as well as a full range of gestational outcomes. Practicing a trans centered model, Moss is specially equipped to support trans and queer people as they navigate the extremely gendered world of fertility, gestation and pregnancy, birth, miscarriage and loss, and abortion.

What are the special skills of a trans centered birth worker?

• comfort with easily using correct language and pronouns to refer to you and your experience

• ability to educate care providers of your correct language, and to correct when language is misused

• knowledge of largely under studied experiences of trans people of childbearing and chest feeding experience

• understanding of the specific challenges of interacting with medical institutions as a trans person

A trans centered doula can support pregnant people of all genders! People of all genders can benefit from trans centered care. Working through pregnancy experiences without gendered restrictions and expectations can be liberating for everyone!
