#54 - Kate Muir / Everything you need to know about the pill

For this episode, Toshi had the opportunity to speak with Kate Muir - women’s health expert, investigative journalist and documentary maker in the UK – about her latest book, Everything You Need to Know About the Pill (but were too afraid to ask), which is released April 11th, 2024. They spoke about what inspired the book, how the pill impacts hormones and libido, Kate unpacked some misconceptions around contraception, and explained why we need to be educating young people better about their options, and they discussed trans, non-binary and male contraception, as well as exploring the history of the pill – including the fact that it was female-funded!  Kate has also produced the recent Davina McCall: Pill Revolution documentary, and created two ground-breaking Channel 4 films on the menopause, which ignited a massive conversation among women. Her book Everything You Need to Know About the Menopause (but were too afraid to ask) is out now in paperback. She is a campaigning speaker, and a founder member of The Menopause Charity. Find more of Kate here: https://katemuir.co.uk/ Check out her book Everything You Need to Know About the Pill (but were too afraid to ask) here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Everything-Need-Know-About-afraid/dp/1398529516Find Kate on social: @pillscandal and @menoscandal.  --------------------------    Check out our books here:  https://www.sexinspace.com/books    And find our merch here:  https://www.sexinspace.com/shop    --------------------------    Follow us here:  https://www.instagram.com/sexinspacedotcom  https://www.tiktok.com/@sexinspacedotcom  https://www.facebook.com/sexinspacedotcom https://www.youtube.com/@sexinspace Hosted on Acast.
