TGD Cancer Care with Dr Lucille Kerr

Health

Dr Lucille Kerr talks about the issues that trans and gender diverse people (TGD) face during cancer care.

We discuss the complexities of cancer from gendered assumptions about common cancers to outright discrimination in health care settings.

We also address what is needed to improve experiences and outcomes for TGD people and their carers.

Content warning: descriptions of transphobia, violence, discrimination, and hospitals.

The TRANScending Discrimination in Health and Cancer Care 2019 report by ARCSHS is available here.
