Part of my gender transition included having gender-affirming top surgery in Oct, 2022. During that surgery, an unexpected tumor was discovered and I was diagnosed shortly after with breast cancer.

What followed was a life-altering experience with cancer, mental health, and gender transition that showed me a new way of interacting with the world around me.

Today, I’m driven to share that experience in order to support others going through similar trials in their lives.

Our voices are needed, now more than ever.
