The Transgender/Intersex Dialogue

from Moms 4 Trans Kids · host Dr. Lulu

Exploring the experiences of individuals who identify as both transgender and intersex can provide valuable insights into the complexities of gender and identity. In this episode, Dr. Lulu and Kimmy are joined by AC Goldberg, an educator and advocate for the intersex and transgender communities. AC shares their personal journey as a trans and intersex individual and discusses the challenges and experiences they have faced. They shed light on the misconceptions and stigma surrounding intersexuality and emphasize the importance of education and understanding. AC also highlights the need for parents to support their intersex children and create a safe and accepting environment. The conversation touches on the intersection of neurodivergence and gender identity, as well as the importance of safe housing for trans individuals in college. Key Takeaways: Intersexuality is as common as having red hair, with approximately 1 in 1,000 people being intersex. Intersex conditions can manifest in various ways, including differences in reproductive and endocrine systems, hormones, and chromosomes. Many intersex babies undergo non-consensual surgeries in infancy to conform to societal expectations of binary sex. The intersex community is marginalized and receives minimal funding and support compared to the LGBTQ+ community. Parents of intersex children should educate themselves about their child's condition, advocate for their autonomy, and seek support from organizations like InterACT. Neurodivergent individuals are more likely to express gender variance, and it is important for parents to validate and support their neurodivergent children's gender identities. AC has developed a housing extension called the Safe Trans Housing Extension, which has shown positive results in reducing domestic violence and improving the well-being of trans students in college.

In that moment Dr. Bhagat crossed the threshold from being a physician to a frightened mother desperate to protect and save her child, and was moved to create Physician-Parent Caregivers (PPC), a non-profit to protect young people with chronic health conditions and their families.

Not as strong or performant? What if I told you that your perception probably comes from the poor media coverage in women’s sports?UNESCO estimates that globally 4% of sports media coverage is about women. According to a study published in 2020: Female athletes receive the same amount of news coverage as they did in the 1980s. They are also often photographed in “passive” poses, compared to the “active” poses of their male counterparts.I believe, it’s time to change that!This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn about women’s sport. But I’m doing it mostly for women who like me felt like they could never understand sports, that it wasn’t their place but still deep down had an interest in it.So let’s keep learning with the athletes’ voices!
