IP0305 Do It Scared – Part 2 of Rethinking Autism & Gender Diversity (w/ siv greyson)
I'm joined again by autistic, Afrikan, trans liberation scholar siv greyson about what it takes to live and love bravely at the intersections of race, gender, and neurodivergence.
This episode turns from theory to practice: what safety feels like, how chosen families are built, and why real allyship means doing it scared. Together, we unpack the emotional work of reconciliation, the courage of vulnerability, and the quiet revolution of creating safe spaces at home, in community, and within ourselves.
