Description

“People say ‘it’s just biology’ but it’s more complex than we think.” 

Confusion and misinformation reigns around gender issues so in this episode we speak to Rachel Hulstein-Lowe – an expert in gender diversity and parent coach. As a parent of a non-binary child herself, Rachel advocates for young people navigating identity and is determined to bring a spotlight onto the needs of these children and families. 

“When a young person says, ‘this is who I am’ our number one job is to believe them.” 

In this episode, we discuss:  

• The spread of misinformation around gender and sex and common misconceptions 
• The need in Western society for binary and why it exists 
• That it’s ok to not have all the answers; to sit in the discomfort 
• What it means to really listen to children and how we can bridge build 
• Rachel’s lived and learned experience as a professional and as a parent 
• Closing the gap between professional knowledge and lived experience 
• The political climate surrounding trans and gender-diverse youth and its impact on wellbeing 
• Where to channel good intention and how to do it right
