Gender and Sexual Identity – Love vs Law

November 16, 2019

On this episode of the Epoch Podcast we tackle ideas about gender and sexuality and finding it hard to keep up with the ever-changing language. Some of us had thoughts we didn't expect prior to researching, so it was definitely a conversation worth having! https://youtu.be/t17ZpkpKIog Topics we get into: * the problem of language* the genderbread person - understanding the perception of gender identity vs gender expression vs biological sex vs sexual orientation* interactions with others based on gender* statistics of physical ambiguity and the very real issues it can cause* the recognition that many of us have, at points, unjustly written these issues off* it's easier to control confused people...* what age do people really know themselves?* it's hard enough to be a teen and preteen, let alone one who's dealing with gender and sexual identity issues* why couldn't body positivity be used in a broader sense?* body dysmorphia and neural body mapping* the inconvenience of minorities and our responsibility* why "marriage"?* does your soul or spirit have a gender?* male energy vs female energy* how everyone has male and female components* the importance of taking all the factors into account vs assuming things just are* trauma and abuse and the goal of healthy, whole people* why law is never the compassionate solution Resource/s Mentioned Joe Rogan/Adam Ruins Everythingthe ACE test Find us here, too:
