Should Nurses Be Required to Dilate Trans Patients?

As more trans people age and require assisted living or nursing care, a serious question arises:

Should nurses be required to dilate trans patients—especially those with dementia or severe illness?

In this video, I share the personal moment that sparked this conversation, explain what dilation actually is, and explore both sides of the ethical, medical, and emotional dilemma.

With over 20 years of experience in the trans community, I aim to bring compassion, honesty, and nuance to this tough discussion.
