Episode 337: Navigating Breast Cancer as a Trans Person

What happens when your gender journey and a breast cancer diagnosis collide? In this special Pride Month episode of Real Pink, our guests are Ash Davidson, a trans masculine activist who went in for gender-affirming top surgery and left with a breast cancer diagnosis and Scout, executive director of the National LGBT Cancer Network. They’ll help us dive into the challenges and care gaps trans and nonbinary people face when navigating a breast cancer diagnosis. And together, we’ll explore what true gender-affirming care looks like, how to self-advocate in a medical system not built for everyone, and why inclusive, trauma-informed support isn’t just kind — it’s lifesaving.
