What does it take to become your best self? At a time when politicians across the country are sponsoring laws targeting gender-affirming care, what would you endure to live an authentic life? Join us as we delve into the lived experiences of three transgender individuals in America and the great lengths they went through to receive gender-affirming care. We’ll explore the unique challenges they face within the healthcare system while trying to become their full and best selves.
