Femsplained - S2E35. Gender, and Other Fairy Tales
play

09/26/21 • 65 min

This is a very special episode - our very first episode recording in person, the three of us all together in the same place! We took the opportunity to talk about a mutual breakdown of our feelings on gender identity during this episode, and it's a very honest deep dive into the ways we connect and differ at this point along our journey. Please note that we talk about bodies, presentation, and dysmorphia at points throughout the episode, and that our experiences are very much our own and may not remotely apply to others who share the Nonbinary label.
If you want to hear the FULL cut of the mansplain minute recorded live, and other behind the scenes clips, please head to our Patreon at patreon.com/femsplained.
