Insights Into Teens: Episode 34 “Gender Identity”

In a very special extended edition podcast we explore the complex and evolving concept of gender identity. Our panel of qualified experts help us define what gender identity is, the struggles the non-binary community has faced and the steps enlightened individuals and groups are taking to move society’s understanding of gender identity forward.

We cover a broad spectrum of information, uncover valuable insights into the lives of non-binary members of society and gain a deep appreciation for the discrimination that society places on a topic it largely does not understand. We will learn how we can make a difference in increasing the awareness and acceptance of unfamiliar gender identities and we’ll learn how education, communication and the ability to thrive in a safe space can help us improve the lives of so many people.

Join us as we welcome two subject matter experts to educate and help us navigate our way through concepts, terminology associated with gender identity. It is an enlightening and educational episode that’s sure to deeply touch most of our audience.
