What are the chances that two transmasculine people living under the same roof would be diagnosed with “lady cancer” in the same month—one with breast cancer and the other with ovarian cancer?

Join filmmakers Yee Won Chong and Brooks Nelson for a public screening of Trans Dudes with Lady Cancer, followed by a panel discussion. This courageous short film documents the personal journey of the filmmakers, their family, and their community as they navigate a medical system that is scrambling to figure out how to provide affirming care for transgender people.

All are welcome—this event is free and open to the public!
