240. An Everyday Guide to Navigating Gender Complexities
Manage episode 488430756 series 3310389
In the second episode of our Taking Pride series, we explore the evolving language around gender identity and how greater understanding can lead to everyday moments of inclusion.
We’re joined by the thoughtful and engaging Olly, who shares his lived experience of identifying as a Demi-Boy and what that means in practice—offering a personal perspective that brings clarity and depth to a term many are still learning about.
This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own learning journeys and to approach gender terminology with calm curiosity rather than fear of getting it wrong. We discuss how open-minded conversations and small shifts in language can create space for everyone to feel seen and respected.
