Members of the coalition can send announcements or questions to the all-member email list by addressing a message to list distribution address.
There is a size limit on messages (250kb) and it is preferred that posters and other attachments be included as a link, where possible.
Joining and Leaving
Email info@hthc.ca to express your interest in joining the coalition to be added to the all-members email list.
Send an email to members-leave@hamiltontranshealth.ca from the email address where you receive messages to unsubscribe yourself from the list.
List Use and Guidelines
Once you are subscribed to the list as a member of the coalition you will receive a copy of every message that is sent to the list email address: members _at_ hamiltontranshealth.ca.
When replying to a message from the mailing list if you ‘Reply All’ or include the list address in your response, it will be sent to every member rather than just the original author. (Sometimes that’s what you want, sometimes it’s not.)
Manage Your Subscription
You can unsubscribe from this list by sending an empty message to the special address members-leave@hamiltontranshealth.ca. You can receive fewer messages by enabling digest mode as described below. You can reach out (info@hthc.ca) and we’ll make any changes to your subscription that you require.
What to Share
The all-member list was set up for two purposes: for discussion relating to the coalition’s work, and to update members on resources and events aligning with that work. That generally means anything that improves access to gender-affirming primary care, and anything that might improve health outcomes for trans, gender-diverse, and non-binary people.
To keep list traffic manageable for our members from diverse disciplines, the list will not forward general messages from other mailing lists. We ask that you not add the mailing list address to other email distribution lists. Please feel free to share information on how to join other mailing lists that may be of interest to coalition members.
