For this episode, I spoke with Aaron Kimberley who is the founder and executive director of the Gender Dysphoria Alliance in Canada and has been a mental health clinician since 2008.

We discussed Aaron’s medical transition 16 years ago, gender dysphoria, being transgender and all of the issues, policies and possible consequences, positive and negative, that may come with them.
