What is Gender Affirming Care? with Dr. Ashley Brandt
This show is all about overlooked or misunderstood fields, and in 2023 I can think of no more misunderstood field than that of gender affirming care. It is the boogeyman of every conservative talking head and your transphobic aunt’s Facebook feed. There is so much misinformation floating around social media and YouTube, oftentimes masquerading as fact-based or presented by experts.
So I wanted to talk to an expert.
Dr. Ashley Brandt is a board certified OBGYN with a fellowship in gender affirming surgery. She’s a queer surgeon who uses her platform to help educate the public about gender affirming care and remove the stigma around those who provide treatment, those who seek it, and those who love them.
We have a broad, frank conversation about the myths and misconceptions of her work, the changes in technology, what it’s like working with kids, and where the field is going. Please note that this episode does contain information, but it should not be taken as medical advice or opinion. Here’s Dr. Brandt.
