46 TDoV w/ S. Leigh Thompson
Today's episode is actually a "rerun" of one of my favorites from last year to mark Trans Day of Visibility, with an updated intro. More new episodes to come soon, but I'm still recovering from the AHCA whirlwind.
S. Leigh Thompson talks about the hurdles to diagnosis he's faced as a trans person with complex health issues, healthcare insecurity, getting around the city with mobility limitations, and navigating society with invisible disabilities.

I check in with regular guest, Christopher Snider, for our bimonthly podcast freakout about all things Trump, health policy, and how we’re dealing.
We talk more about the state of Obamacare/ACA’s repeal and replace plan, the AHCA (aka Ryancare, Trumpcare, Republicare, etc.) We discuss the bill’s CBO score, another proposed bill flying under the radar that would allow your employer to require genetic testing and have access to those results, ALEC, and his newest podcast project, Mark All That Apply.
