THIS EPISODE CONTAINS NO MEDICAL ADVICE - Talk to your physician. This week Alexis and Sean talk about Sean’s upcoming FFS (Facial Feminisation Surgery) and the lack of difference between what is seen as trans specific gender affirming medical pathways and those of culturally accepted cis medial treatments. We all at Tranzmission wish Sean the best for her FFS and a speedy recovery!
