In the last year, more anti-trans legislation has been passed in the U.S. than at any other time in history. Dr. Helene Hedian, director of clinical education at the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender and Gender Expansive Health, talks with Stephanie Desmon about the dehumanizing aspects of these bills and how much they can impact her patients’ daily lives and overall health. They also discuss what’s going right, and how advocacy is helping to bring better and more protective health care coverage and human rights to trans- and gender-diverse people.
