EP03: Let's Talk Gender Identity
FARSIGHT Chats host Farah Bala engages in a discussion on gender identity, focusing on inclusion, allyship, and advocacy.
Special guests Stephanie Battaglino, Chris Mossiah, Gentle Ramirez, and Rej Joo share their experiences and challenges within the LGBTQ+ community, particularly highlighting trans and non-binary identities.
Topics of discussion include:
- ADVOCACY vs ALLYSHIP: The need for active advocates rather than passive allies in supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
- VISIBILITY & SAFETY: Increased visibility of trans people has led to more recognition but also more targeted attacks and legislative challenges.
- RAINBOW WASHING: Corporations often use LGBTQ+ imagery for marketing during Pride Month without taking substantive action to support the community.
- INTERSECTIONALITY: The importance of understanding the diverse experiences within the trans community, influenced by factors like race and socioeconomic status.
- PARENTAL SUPPORT: How parents can support their gender non-conforming children through affirmation, education, and community building.
- ADDRESSING INAPPROPRIATE QUESTIONS: Strategies for responding to intrusive questions about gender identity and transition.
