My brother died of ovarian cancer: Why Deputy Lords Speaker Ian Duncan is campaigning for trans health
Rather than my version of this story, I encourage everyone to click on the link above and read the original article from “i news”.
Ian Duncan writes of the problems his brother Sean had when he transitioned to male. He takes the opportunity to campaign for equitable medical care for transgender men. He says, “ The whole community has become a football for different political, moral factions who are using it as a means to tell a story.”
Transgender men frequently receive suboptimal medical care, sometimes due to prejudice but more often neglect. If surgical pelvic clearance is performed as part of the transition, ovaries may be left in situ. This can further complicate proper surveillance.
