“[as a trans person with] stage IV endometrial cancer since 2021, I have literally never felt more seen in my life. I just need to express my deep gratitude for this space and this film. I truly don’t have words.“

“My research program focuses on trans and gender-expansive people, from screening to risk to survival. We think of ourselves as logical and data-driven people, but what moves the needle is emotions and stories. Trans Dudes with Lady Cancer moves the needle, brings attention to what is needed, and helps us figure out how to do our jobs.”

“As a gay man, I think that I understand the importance of diversity and inclusivity. However, learning the filmmakers’ experience and listening to their testimony have noticeably widened the lenses through which I see and has enhanced my sensitivity and sense of urgency. Most importantly, it has made me realize, I admit humbly, that I still have as much to learn, see, acknowledge, and contribute as anyone else.”

“A striking, moving work of art that vividly lays bare the human experience of its filmmakers. Like all the best documentaries, it changes your perception of the world.”
