What happens when gender, health, and identity intersect? Within the same month, Brooks Nelson and Yee Won Chong each received life-changing cancer diagnoses. Brooks was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and Yee Won was diagnosed with breast cancer. Instead of retreating, they picked up a camera, and faced it together. 

In the first half of this heartfelt conversation, we talk about gender, identity, privilege, frustration with the healthcare system, and the beauty of chosen family as they introduce their groundbreaking documentary “Trans Dudes with Lady Cancer.”
