Revisiting Episode 5: Hormonal Interventions From Fringe to Mainstream:
A Conversation with the endocrinologist Dr. William Malone
Episode 5: One of My All-Time Favourites
Sometimes, even after more than 100 episodes, a few continue to stand out—not just for the ideas we explored, but for the questions they sparked and the tone they set. Episode 5, "A Developmental Lens: Gender Nonconformity in Childhood", is still one of my personal favourites.
In this early episode, Sasha and I speak to the endocrinologist Dr Will Malone to discuss the pivotal position that endocrinologists have in the new practice of childhood transition. In this conversation Will describes attending a conference in 2017 run by the Endocrine Society where suddenly everything related to trans healthcare appeared to shift, without any discussion or analysis.
If you haven’t heard it before, or even if you have, I think it’s worth a revisit. It reminds me why we started the podcast in the first place.
