More on: Gender affirming healthcare

The podcast episodes discuss the importance of access to gender-affirming healthcare for transgender individuals, particularly in light of the recent wave of anti-trans legislation across the United States.

The guests highlight how denying trans people access to essential care like puberty blockers and hormone therapy can have devastating consequences, dehumanizing and erasing their identity. They emphasize the need to reclaim the narrative and center the voices and experiences of the trans community, especially those facing intersectional challenges like racism and poverty.

The episodes explore strategies for uplifting and supporting the trans community, including building inclusive workplaces, dismantling transphobic rhetoric, and finding joy and solidarity within the community amid these challenges.
