Episode 62 - Overcoming Systemic Transphobia in Mental Health (with Rachel Bennett and Dr. David Nylund)

Rachel Bennett shares her experience navigating the historically misguided gatekeeping requirements for gender reassignment surgery.

Plus, how can feedback-informed treatment be used as a tool of social justice?
