Dr. Kyle Gresenz is a queer theorist and rural healthcare scholar working to expose how systems fail LGBTQ+ communities. We dig into the four domains of healthcare, structural urbanism, and why geography and policy still dictate who gets care and who doesn't. Kyle also breaks down how finances, location, and discriminatory policies block access and what it actually takes to push past learned helplessness toward real, structural change. Listen, share, and follow to hear more!
