A reflection on transgender and intersex inclusive anatomy education initiatives developed as an Anatomy Teaching Fellow at the University of Birmingham, including an EDI Biomedical Sciences project using 3D printing and wax modelling to represent transgender, intersex and cisgender perineal anatomy.
