12. “Naomi’’- Meet the woman who had her prostate removed. Transexuality in Prostate Cancer

Wednesday Dec 02, 2020

Welcome to episode 12 of The Penis Project Podcast. Today, we speak with Naomi.

Naomi is a male to female trans woman. Please listen as she shares her story in a heartfelt, honest exchange. From overcoming her prostate cancer at 47, her challenges to becoming the woman she is now, and to advocating the importance of frequent PSA checks.

We hope this interview will educate and assist more in reducing ignorance about trans folks and positively, ripple into respect. As Naomi said, "We're not weird, we're human beings - we have the right to live".

We have tried to cover topics you have wanted to ask but didn’t think you could such as: experience of discrimination and acceptance, difference of crossdresser from transgender, being called queer, and saying goodbye to the penis.

Below are helpful links of the things mentioned in the podcast:
