The E(Queer)ity Podcast

All About QueerCare w/ Lee Mariño Clyne

(Pride month may be over 🏳️‍🌈) but season 3 of the podcast isn't! And now I want to share another incredible episode featuring the impressive Lee Mariño Clyne (they/he/elle/él), co-founder of @queercareinc [https://www.instagram.com/queercareinc/]! The organization has been reshaping the recovery and support options that LGBTQ+ people, particularly who are transgender identifying, can have related to their surgical care. We talk about the growth of the volunteer network supporting the organization, how staying in community is important for recovery, and the value of trans-led activism for trans folx. . . .

Lived Experiences: Dr. Lulu

It's been a while since the last Lived Experiences episode.. and we're back! I had the joy of sitting and speaking with the incredibly passionate and inspiring queer pediatrician, also known as Mama Beast, Dr. Lulu 😊 (she/her)..Dr. Lulu and I discuss her experiences: * writing the book, About Your Black, Transgender Child * being involved in consulting and public speaking efforts related to LGBTQ+ matters * what it means to be an ally * starting a podcast herself titled Moms 4 Trans Kids (which I find very sweet 🥹). I think this episode will be especially appealing to parents of queer youth who are in different stages of understanding their child. Hope you enjoy!! . . .

Supporting Youth With a Range of Urogenital Traits w/ Drs. Whitehead and Papadakis

In our final installment for season 2, I speak w/ Dr. J Whitehead and Dr. Jackie Papadakis, a pediatric endocrinologist and child psychologist working at @luriechildrens [https://www.instagram.com/luriechildrens/] SPROUT clinic (Supportive Program for a Range of Urogenital Traits), to highlight care for youth born intersex. Every year, children may be born with intersex traits. In addition, a person may discover they are intersex later in life after experiencing puberty or experiencing infertility. We discuss the need to lessen stigma in healthcare regarding intersex traits as well as the expansion of autonomy for intersex people to live in their bodies. Intersex traits are not medical problems. They often are a result of larger diagnoses that may affect bodily development, but are not necessary harmful or need correction. Join us as we discuss these topics and, as I learned, how the SPROUT clinic received its name! . .
