A Conversation With Jacy Chavira On Puberty Blockers, Gender and Religious Stigma
Show Notes

Today we have with us, Jacy Chavira. Jacy was prescribed puberty blockers at the age of 13, transitioned during adolescence, and then stopped treatment at 18. She has strongly advocated self-acceptance, removing religious and social stigma, and more importantly dealing with the discomfort of puberty naturally as opposed to a medical transition to adolescence.

Today we are going to talk about gender stigma, the side effects of puberty blockers, and what kind of an impact it has on people. Jacy thank you so much for joining us today.
