CALL FOR PROPOSALS:
2SLGBTQ+ FAMILY BUILDING IN CANADA (FBC) SYMPOSIUM

The 2SLGBTQ+ Family Building Canada (FBC) initiative invites proposals from community members, scholars, and practitioners for presentations at our upcoming symposium. The symposium explores urgent and timely issues related to 2SLGBTQ+ family building, advancing both community engagement, practitioner training, and academic inquiry.
FBC supports a broad range of family building supports, offering strategies, resources, and partnerships that challenge how we think of ‘family’ and expand the scope of 2SLGBTQ+ research and equity in Canada.

We are seeking submissions that explore challenges, opportunities, and innovations in 2SLGBTQ+ family building. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
● Indigenous kinship and the impact of colonization and white supremacy on fertility access and family building care.
● Exploring the legacy and ongoing impacts of eugenics and racial disparities in reproductive technologies related to donor access and availability.
● Fatphobia and body stigma in reproductive care and family-building processes
● Experiences of non-gestational parents in conception, loss, and early pregnancy
● Alternative routes for family building, kinships structures, and navigating care.
● Reproductive justice for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals in underserved populations.
● Supporting neurodivergent individuals and improving accessibility in fertility and
reproductive healthcare
● Legal and policy frameworks affecting 2SLGBTQ+ families
● Family-building technologies and their impact on 2SLGBTQ+ communities
● Storytelling and creative practice in 2SLGBTQ+ family and fertility journeys

Pssst. I see incontinence pads 👀

I’ve been a fan of period care products for a while now. I am a big advocate for free bleeding and period underwear but work has involved a lot of travelling lately and travelling with bloody panties isn’t always the vibe. 😝

I love my joni pads for a disposable option. They are comfortable, thin and made out of organic ingredients that are actually absorbable. No bleached products for me, thanks!!

when I found out they offer incontinence pads, I had to check them out!

Incontinence is something I struggled with postpartum for years until I was able to access pelvic physio. It’s so common for new parents after birthing and honestly it can be embarrassing at times.
If you haven’t peed while laughing, sneezing, or coughing, jumping, walking or just simply existing 😅then you might not know what I’m talking about but drop a comment if you can relate. đŸ™‹đŸœâ€â™‚ïž

While I don’t struggle with leakage anymore I wish I had a product like this to use when I needed it. These will be great gifts to share with folks who recently birthed or struggling with pelvic floor issues. Unfortunately pelvic physio isn’t accessible for everyone. Even though health care is “free” in Canada it doesn’t include physiotherapy, a service that truly every birthing human needs before and after to support the impact on the pelvic floor during birth (ask a pelvic physiotherapist they will explain better than I can as to why😅)

is committed to being unapologetically inclusive, different on purpose, and radically transparent really shines through in their products. Made for every body, joni is all about dismantling period stigma and combating period poverty. Plus, their plant-based and organic ingredients make these pads biodegradable and compostable in the right conditions. đŸŒżâ™»ïž

In 2024 we are saying no more to toxic period products! Use my code YOURQUEERDOULA to get 10% off any of their products.

Thanks, for sharing these products with me and for making incontinence care accessible, inclusive and eco-friendly. 💖
