For International Nonbinary People's Day, Jack and Jacinta speak with SJ Matthews who is the co-founder of DocDir, an online directory for LGBTIQA+ safe health clinicians all around Australia. They tell us about the importance of accessing affirmative health care for nonbinary people, and how clinicians and LGBTIQA+ people looking for safer health care services can get involved. 

SJ also talks about recently becoming a parent, and what being trans nonbinary is like during this process, and connecting with support groups.
