What does accessing gender-affirming chest surgery look like in Atlantic Canada? Is coverage the same for chest feminization and chest masculinization?

Ep 10: Rural Health
Can trans people access gender-affirming care in rural settings? What happens if they can’t? Do the attitudes of rural providers play a role in the protection of trans rights? The lack of urban anonymity might push a trans person to pack their bags and head for the city. Is there anything we can do to make them feel heard and safe in their small towns?

Ep 09: Long-Term Health Outcomes
Does gender-affirming hormone therapy affect the heart? How does a binder change breathing patterns? How do we risk-stratify trans patients?
