#1 Transgender Doctor EXCLUSIVE: Burning Man, Bobby Kennedy & Black Holes

Dr. Curtis Crane is America's leading gender-confirmation surgeon – a former mechanical engineer turned reconstructive urologist and plastic surgeon who has operated on more than 10,000 trans-patients. The New York Post once called him "Dr. Frankenstein." His friends call him the guy obsessed with quantum physics who throws the wyldest parties in Austin, Texas. He calls himself someone drawn to the fringes of life.In this episode of Man's Search for Meaning, we go far past the politics: We talk about what it actually costs to help people become who they are, the prank phone call that changed his entire life, the tragedy of As Nature Made Him, and where medicine ends and the law begins. Then it gets cosmic: the Big Bang, the quantum field, why he believes consciousness is non-local, that "there's only one of us" and that connection is the surest path to transcendence – before ending on one of the most hilarious and unhinged stories I've ever recorded.An unfiltered, deeply human conversation about gender, God, suffering, science and what actually frees a person.
