Trying to navigate the medical system when you’re trans is already a minefield, but it’s particularly hard when you’re a guy going to a gyno, or a woman getting a prostate check. 

Since reproductive care is so often segregated into ‘men's’ or 'women’s' health, it can be really tough getting the right care when you’re trans or gender-non-conforming.

This episode, hear Bridget Hustwaite from triple j's Good Nights chatting with transgender man Cori Smith and nonbinary person Jess Tilley, who both live with endometriosis.

After that, the experts join Nat in the studio to look at navigating the healthcare system as a gender diverse person, and what still needs to change to ensure everyone feels seen.
