NEW GenderVision: Transgender Health Care

Transgender persons, like everyone else, have health care needs, but
theirs are most often poorly understood by providers who have little
to no experience with this population. Alejandro Marcel, diversity
educator and trans health consultant, joins with hosts Nancy Nangeroni
and Gordene MacKenzie, PhD., in outlining the needs and concerns of
transgender persons in their access to health care. Discussion ranges
from barriers to receiving treatment, to specific differences between
male-to-female and female-to-male needs, to the most recent results of
medical studies.

Other program segments include a response to a transgender-disparaging
Fox News segment, and a "Raving Raven" segment on gender diversity
among animals.
