Guest Interview with Dr. Shannon Panszi: Pronouns Matter
In this episode, Jen and Dr. Shannon have a candid conversation around the significance of pronouns and their impact on our understanding of gender. Dr. Shannon, a retired OB-GYN and gender education expert, shares insights on the basics of gender, pronouns, and how to respectfully navigate these topics in everyday interactions. Whether you can't quite wrap your head around using "they/them" pronouns, or you are comfortable with topics on gender identity and gender expression, Dr. Shannon is full of insight and wisdom.
This week's key messages:
1. Understanding Pronouns and Gender: Pronouns are essential in respecting someone's identity, and understanding the difference between biological sex, gender identity, and gender expression is crucial.
2. Importance of Respecting Pronouns: Using the correct pronouns is a simple yet significant way to honor someone's identity, acknowledging their inner sense of self.
3. Handling Mistakes Gracefully: If you use the wrong pronoun, apologize briefly, correct yourself, and move on without over-explaining or justifying the mistake.
