This episode is dedicated to Harry Styles. Harry, if you’re listening, we love you. Your hosts are joined this week by their friend Hamza DMD to talk all about toxic masculinity and gender neutralism. They discuss the patriarchy running deep in healthcare, and how inappropriate behaviors are still brushed off as “just how it is.” Hamza opens up about being an immigrant and person of color, which allowed him to empathize more with women who are faced with additional challenges at work and in life. He also opens up about his gender identity, and a bad breakup that forced him to connect with his true self. They talk about how Harry Styles is an inspiration for so many when it comes to gender fluidity, and embracing all that is both masculine and feminine. Hamza also asks D and Jackie how they think they changed the most after significant breakups, and he gives us some behind the scenes details on his incredible friendship, partnership, and recent photoshoot with Lynne and V Coterie.
