S01E03 – EDITED: Liana MacKenzie, on Transition Care and Colon Cancer

In this episode of Abiding Hysteria I speak with Liana McKenzie about gender affirming healthcare experiences and a cancer diagnosis. Liana shares with us her personal journey with challenges and triumphs, her story of obtaining competent care as a trans woman, and what her experiences can teach us about the healthcare system’s treatment of gender diverse individuals. Join us as we explore the stories of real people and find ways to not only abide but thrive in a world where healthcare is a battle for inclusivity and compassion.
