Episode Synopsis

Winnie and Manisha are young professionals who discuss their journey of exploring gender concluding that living in the absence of gender and a non-binary world gives them freedom and a safe space to live their authentic selves where the queer community has given them an anchor to express themselves and a feeling of belonging. They explore definitions and the role of language in understanding how gender binaries create biases that exclude people in everyday life, research, and access to
adequate health care. Finally, they send an important message to those who are on their gender discovery to stay positive and for those of us who are trying to understand these new ways of being to listen and learn.
