In this episode, we continued our conversation with James Moriarty about his experiences of being a trans man with a history of cancer in an organ associated with female sex assigned at birth (you can find PART I here).
Dr. Neveu, who cares for a few trans persons with cancer in Newfoundland and Labrador, provides unique insights into how her cancer care practice looks like.
There is a lot to learn – please take a look at our latest podcast:

On behalf of the Public Interest Group on Cancer Research, welcome to Episode 2 of our podcast series!
We have a very special guest today, James Moriarty! 😊
In this episode, James provides his experience and thoughts about cancer, cancer screening, and cancer care experiences as a transgender man in Newfoundland and Labrador.
All very important topics, considering that we have around 60,000 transgender men and women in Canada, and they too can develop cancer.
Being a transgender person, having a gendered cancer, jumping over the many cracks, advocating for better conditions, and educating everyone – literally – about what needs to improve in healthcare and community is not an easy job.
We – Janine, Jason, and Sevtap – thank James for educating all of us by sharing his story, knowledge, and insight. We will do our part and educate ourselves further. We all should do. Please join us.
BACKGROUND: A few things we – The Public Interest Group on Cancer Research – wanna achieve with this podcast series are to:
so that we can help reduce our risk of getting cancer and support ourselves and others going through cancer better.
Please join us in this goal.
You can find more info about this project here or can contact me (savas{at}mun.ca).
Funding by the Office of Public Engagement – Memorial University and support by NLSUPPORT are gratefully acknowledged.
