  • Part 2: The Emotional Impact of Misgendering, Finding Support, and Advocating for Inclusive Care in the Transgender CommunityUntitled Episode
    Jan 30 2025

    Welcome back to Part II of our incredible conversation with Ash Davidson, a transmasculine nonbinary advocate who courageously shares their breast/chest cancer journey. In this episode, Ash opens up about the mental and emotional toll of navigating a cancer diagnosis while in the midst of their gender transition.

    We dive into the challenges they faced, including an experience about being misgendered at the oncologist's office—and the real impact and potential dangers this can cause. Ash doesn’t hold back as they share insights on how the healthcare system can become more inclusive and compassionate for the transgender community and all cancer patients.

    Ash also has a heartfelt and thought-provoking message specifically for the medical community.

    In this first episode of season three, I talked with Ash Davidson. I am presenting their story as a two-part series to fully explore their experience as a transmasculine non-binary person navigating breast/chest cancer.


    In Part One, Ash shares their journey of self-discovery, gender transition, and the challenges transgender individuals face in healthcare. The conversation delves into feelings of euphoria post-top surgery and their emotional upheaval after getting an unexpected invasive ductal (IDC) diagnosis a few weeks later.
