Caitlin welcomes her first guest, Doug Judson, to discuss a local story many people have no idea about!  This episode delves into the life of Dianna Boileau, who was (at the time) reported to be the first person to receive gender affirming surgery in Canada, and talks about her connection to Fort Frances, where she met a doctor who was ahead of his time.

CONTENT WARNING: In discussing Dianna's history, reference is made to outdated terms pertaining to gender identity and surgeries, reflective of the time in which they were used.
