Tanya Asapansa-Johnson Walker: Her Harrowing Fight for Trans-Affirming Health Care | LGBTQ+ Elders Project

LGBTQ&A

Mar 8 2022 • 22 mins

Tanya Asapansa-Johnson Walker talks about serving in the military in the '80s before Don't Ask, Don't Tell, survival sex work, living with HIV, and the immense barriers she's faced trying to access gender-affirming health care in the U.S. This is part of our new LGBTQ+ Elders Project. You can listen to our interview with the 87-year-old, Barbara Satin here. A condensed transcript of each week's interview is posted on The Advocate's website in the afternoon (or earlier if I drink enough coffee). You can watch the full U.S. House Financial Services Committee hearing "There's No Pride in Prejudice: Eliminating Barriers to Full Economic Inclusion for the LGBTQ+ Community" with Tanya here. LGBTQ&A is hosted by Jeffrey Masters and produced by The Advocate magazine, in partnership with GLAAD. Follow us on Twitter: @lgbtqpod
