How To: Gender (w/ Dana Cox)

Our guest for this episode is Dana Cox, a non-binary person who shares their personal experience of discovering and coming to terms with their gender identity. They talk about the journey of self-acceptance, the importance of finding a supportive community, and the difficulties of navigating systems that may not be inclusive or understanding of genderqueer identities. We also discuss a story from when we've both been incredibly intoxicated. I discuss the recent ban on gender-affirming care in Florida, which has put the lives and well-being of many trans and non-binary individuals at risk. I talk about the implications of this ban and the urgent need for advocacy and action to protect the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity. This episode is a powerful exploration of the importance of respecting and affirming gender identity, and the ways in which we can work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
