Exciting News!
What's this all about?
Pastiche Foundation is a Regional Health Information Organization focused on gender variance, organized into five groups:
1. The Business Consulting arm of Pastiche will help
develop trans-competence in academic, corporate, human services,
municipal, religious, social, and other types of organizations;
2. The Drop-In Center will provide safe space, crisis
supplies, and Human Services referrals for adults in LGBT communities
as well as work- and meeting- space for organizations that serve LGBT
and allied communities.
3. The Information section will begin by creating and
publishing a database of Washington Counselors, Endocrinologists,
General Practitioners, Psychologists, Surgeons, and other medical
practitioners that serve transgender individuals; it will then
advertise trans-friendly businesses (on a low-cost basis) and extend
the database nationally.
4. The Legal section will work toward medical legislation
that protects the needs of Trans individuals via advocacy, networking,
organization, and training the public.
5. The outreach section, Project: Transitions, will raise
funds for gender confirmation treatment of trans individuals. They
will oversee distribution of those funds through a grant process, and
coordinate community outreach for the Foundation.
