TRIGGER WARNING (anti-trans healthcare bans, suicide, death threats): 8:52-10:22
This is part 1 of 2 episodes where we get the answers to some FAQs about medical transition from medical professionals.

Hosted by Ally Beardsley and Babette Thomas, Gender Spiral is a quest to explore the modern experience of being a human in our gendered world.
