Pride Month is right around the corner, Globies. In this eye-opening episode, we delve deep into the realm of transgender healthcare. We describe the differences between sex, gender and sexual orientation, shed light on the barriers faced by transgender individuals and discuss the steps needed to build a more inclusive and affirming healthcare system. Join us as we engage with Dr. Yasmeen, who explores the critical components of gender-affirming care and the gap in adequate care for transgender individuals in our healthcare systems.  We hope to empower our globies with knowledge and understanding, fostering a future where transgender healthcare is accessible, compassionate, and truly transformative.
