Sex vs. Gender: Understanding the Differences and Supporting the LGBTQIA+ Community (Part 1)
The biggest takeaway I want for you to have from this discussion about sex is: do not assume that gender is tied to chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, external genitalia, physical characteristics.
In this episode of 'We Heal Together', Cordelia kicks off a two-part series diving deep into the complexities of sex and gender. She unpacks the differences between these often-confused terms, shedding light on the experiences of intersex, transgender, and cisgender individuals. Cordelia challenges the common misconception that gender is solely linked to physical traits and emphasizes the importance of respecting people's identities and pronouns.
This episode is more than just an educational session; it's a call to action for those looking to become better allies to the LGBTQIA+ community. With free worksheets and resources provided in the show notes, listeners can take practical steps towards understanding and supporting human rights. Cordelia's straightforward and empathetic approach makes this episode both enlightening and accessible, perfect for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge and allyship.
