On May 18, 2015 host Joseph Pace speaks to a panel of guests on the unique health challenges faced by transgender people.  How are San Francisco medical providers meeting these challenges?  Will there be less discrimination - in terms of legal protections and access to health care, among other things - now that the media is hyping a so-called "transgender tipping point"?

Guests:

Dr. Madeline Deutsch - Director of Clinical Services at UCSF's Center of Excellence for Transgender Health.

Jamison Green, Ph.D - President, World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) and author of Becoming a Visible Man.

Anand Kalra - Program Administrator, Transgender Law Center.

Dr. Barry Zevin  - Clinical Lead, Transgender Health Services, San Francisco Department of Public Health.
