Lauren, I'm so glad you talked about this on the show!!! I have worked with and interviewed a number of trangender individuals, and I keep thinking I have a handle on what that experience is about, but every time I hear a new story, I am humbled as I learn a totally new way of looking at it. Thank you, Lauren, for sharing your perspective.


Here is the Wiki entry for the man Lauren was talking about who was denied medical care because he was trans, and who later died of Ovarian Cancer.

There is an amazing documentary about him, called Southern Comfort. It won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival. It is available on Netflix (EDIT: I thought it was streamable, but I was mistaken. Boo.), but there are 2 films there with the same name, so make sure you choose the one that looks like this:
