Gender Playground

Plans, Trans, and Autonomy


Listen Later

Welcome back to the playground! In this episode, Marcelle and Raimi discuss “transition.” 


We begin with an anecdote from Marcelle about the discomfort she feels labelling her daughter Billie as trans, given Billie started using she/her pronouns soon after becoming verbal. Together, Marcelle and Raimi think through the shortcomings and utility of labels, gender as a social construct, and the importance of affirming the gender and gender expression of people of all ages. 


Raimi then explains “transition” as an umbrella term that includes a range of actions pertaining to internal, social, legal and physical changes and choices folks may make. Marcelle asks some questions and there’s a fair amount of giggling! 


As always, we end with a couple recommendations and a promise to continue our discussion of transition in coming episodes.
