Why is This Happening? Podcast

With Dr. Izzy Lowell

May 25, 2021

What is gender-affirming health care? Around the country, there’s a Republican campaign to legislate and regulate the lives of trans youth. The most destructive of these efforts would bar trans youth in certain states from accessing gender-affirming treatment. Dr. Lowell joins this week to break down what exactly we mean when we talk about gender-affirming care, how the decision is made for kids and teens ready to transition, and the potentially devastating impact this legislation would have on their lives.

[Dr. Izzy] Lowell is facing a dilemma. She can either find a way to keep helping her patients and risk being the next anti-trans target, or she can leave her patients to fend for themselves. “As a physician, I took an oath to not abandon my patients,” says Lowell.
