Gender and Identity
Ever wanted to know more about what exactly transgender and intersex mean? On this week's show we explained both topics, talking about where they are similar and different, and explored what life looks like for someone who is intersex, and someone who is transgender. We also had a live in-studio guest who discussed her experiences living as a transgender female. It was a very informative show. You will be sure to learn something.
You may be wondering why we chose this topic since it can be a sensitive topic for some individuals. Our role in the community is to provide factual and informative health promotion information. When we were approached by our guest speaker about doing the show we thought that a show on gender and identity would be a great way to provide information about a topic that is rarely talked about. Bringing awareness is the first step in removing stigma and providing accurate information.
So take a listen to the show and I hope you learn something new, I know I did! Thank you so much to our guest Theresa for sharing her story and working with us in a step towards greater awareness about transgender individuals! Below is a link to the podcast as well as some resources we used in our research prior to the show, so check them out!
