Episode 17: DEMANDING TRANS & GENDERQUEER EQUITY IN PERI/MENOPAUSE with Lasara Firefox Allen & Ed Varga

⚡️Non-Binary peri/meno coach / author of GenderQueer Menopause Lasara Firefox Allen and trans composer/sound engineer Ed Varga join us this week to get into how trans/non-binary folk are total ✨MAGIC✨, how ripping the roof off the evil politicized attacks on Gender Affirming Care exposes right wing weakness, how the misogynist bias rampant in HRT treatment must end to secure a future of equity and respect in healthcare, and to share their own incredible stories of transition and hormonal optimization as queer elders. We had the most inspired chat in this fraught moment of absolute idiot bigotry. WE STAND WITH YOU KANSAS. ✊ LISTEN UP!⚡️
