In the second half of our conversation, Brooks Nelson, ovarian cancer survivor, and Yee Won Chong, breast cancer survivor, return to share how their documentary “Trans Dudes with Lady Cancer” evolved into a tool for systemic change. This episode highlights what institutions can learn from lived experience, why representation matters, and how providers can advocate for systemic equity rather than surface-level inclusion.
They outline four clear goals for improving transgender and gender-nonconforming healthcare from better language and policy reform to storytelling in medical education. They also talk candidly about navigating the medical system, tackling misinformation around hormones, advocating for systemic change, and protecting trans youth and families in today’s climate.
