I was 23 when I was diagnosed with colon cancer—something my doctors had overlooked for years. The only reason it was caught in time? Routine bloodwork from my gender-affirming care. That one test set off a chain of events that ultimately saved my life. This is my story of resilience, transition, and how gender-affirming healthcare can make all the difference.

In November 2022, I turned 30 in Palm Springs, California, and had the amazing experience of celebrating Pride there too. A few months later, my partner and I packed up our car and cat, heading back to Palm Springs for a work opportunity. Little did I know, just weeks into my new job, I would start experiencing symptoms that led to a life-changing cancer diagnosis.
