Episode Details

In this week’s episode, regular hosts Michael Kelly and Wendy Grace speak with Prof. Donal O’Shea, an endocrinologist working at St Vincent’s Private Hospital. He has worked for many years in the field of gender transition in both the UK and Ireland.

In the past he says his and others concerns with regards to the medical care of children and young adults were not listened to and now the Cass report seems to be a watershed moment in countries that want to adopt and grow the evidence-based model to get the best outcomes for individuals who are gender questioning – a journey that, if done well, is an incredibly positive journey with good outcomes, he says.
