What happens when gender-affirming therapy meets embodied care? Dr. Jesse Bossé joins me, Lasara Firefox Allen, on The Genderqueer Menopause Coach Podcast, to explore trauma-informed psychology, queer embodiment, and how we make mental health and menopause care safer for trans and gender-diverse people — at every age and stage.

We covered a lot--from "gender-affirming care is for everybody!" to "hormones have no gender." You can hear it all here. And yes, it is over an hour--because it was a great conversation! Join us.

Enjoy the show.
