In their inaugural episode, co-hosts Zarya and Srihita speak with Dr. Valjean Bacot-Davis, a third-year student at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University. Prior to medical school, Valjean completed his Bachelor’s in Biology at Duke University and his PhD in Microbiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Valjean offers insight into discussing gender as a spectrum with individuals resistant to embracing the LGBTQ+ community. He also shares his journey going stealth out of the United States and into Canada. In their reflection, our hosts expand on pronoun pins and address inclusive changes in healthcare forms that are already taking place. Check us out @QueerDiagnosis.com and @QueerDiagnosis on Twitter!
