 To celebrate the end of Pride month, we are sharing this episode of the PhenoTips Speaker Series, which was hosted by our own, Kira Dineen. The current rise in structural hostility towards transgender and gender diverse individuals highlights the importance of appropriate and affirming care for this medically marginalized community. In cancer genetics, specific factors such as medical transition and psychosocial impacts alter the approach to, and requirements of, genetic counseling for trans patients. To support the unique needs of trans and gender diverse patients in hereditary cancer genetic counseling, this episode of the PhenoTips Speakers series features an international panel of cancer genetic counselors with advocacy and research specialties in inclusive genetic counseling practices for LGBTQ+ patients. The PhenoTips Speaker Series is one of many podcasts in our brand new science podcast network called Gene Pool Media.
