Dr. Shannon provides insight into the four main characteristics used to classify sex, debunking the idea of a strict binary in external and internal anatomy, chromosomes, and hormones. She emphasizes the importance of embracing the diverse variations in biology and anatomy, challenging the notion that an individual's identity is solely defined by their biological characteristics. Join us as we explore the beauty of nature's variation and the significance of moving away from strict binary classification to truly engender love for all.Enjoyed this episode?
