What are the chances that two transmasculine people living under the same roof would be diagnosed with “lady cancer” in the same month—one with breast cancer and the other with ovarian cancer?

TRANS DUDES WITH LADY CANCER is a courageous short film documenting the personal journey of two transmasculine people, their family, and their community as they navigate a medical system that is scrambling to figure out how to provide affirming care for transgender people.

Come to the film and stay for the panel discussion with Yee Won Chong and other transgender people with cancer moderated by Ash B. Alpert MD MFA, hematologist-oncologist and instructor of medicine at the Yale Cancer Center.

All are welcome—this event is free and open to the public!
