TITLE
Conversations with a Non-Binary HSP Therapist
GUEST
Dara Hoffman-Fox
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Dara talks about being non-binary, and the challenges with the use of language and pronouns that many non-binary persons encounter. We discuss topics that include defining “transgender,” as well as what it’s like to go through what feels like the “wrong” puberty, which can be one of the more challenging aspects of the experience of being transgender. Dara also talks about the distinction between sexual orientation and gender identity; defines “cisgender,” and why using a person’s pronouns are important. I also talk about my concern and worry about wanting to use the “right” language, and having to think SO hard because I want to be respectful, because it takes a lot of concentration to use new language.
