Summary

This week your hosts try to keep their cool while interviewing the remarkable Dr. Blair Peters. They discuss queer representation and shifting the culture in medicine and academia to improve care for the LGBTQ+ community. Dr. Peters talks about their platform, and people recognizing them as they start to go out in the world as restrictions ease. They explain that a lot of research is behind paid firewalls, whereas their Instagram is intended to put out real, accessible information for those in need. They discuss gender affirming care, and talk about one of the first, most famous cases of gender affirming surgery. They touch on the barriers they see as most prevalent in gender affirming care, and changes in insurance over the years. They are also able to speak to the healthcare system in Canada, and why it isn’t as perfect as many think. Lastly, they share details on their extensive schooling, and where they see their career headed.
