A Conversation about Gender-Diverse Health Risks & Research Deficits

In our very first episode of Women’s Health: Under the Mic(roscope), co-hosts Alessia and Amy delve into the nascent and evolving field of gender-diverse health research – how far it has come, what it looks like today, and where it’s headed. Through an exploration of selected scholarly articles and literature reviews, they touch on gender-affirming care and its associated risks, as well as the mental and physical health effects of stigmatization faced by the gender-diverse community.
