Queers and Co.Ep. 6 What Happens When... You Learn to Trust Yourself?Join Gem for the final episode of the series, "What Happens When... You Learn to Trust Yourself?". After visiting a Scottish castle, Gem reflects on the looming presence of oppressive systems and the work to deconstruct the ways we've internalised them. They share their experience of re-learning to trust themselves and how deepening their understanding of things like patriarchy, colonialism, children's rights, body liberation and queerness have been and continue to be vital in that process. Thank you so much for listening! I'd love it if you'd consider sharing and reviewing this podcast!...
