Deconstructing Gender as the Colonizer's Construct with Wendy Wink

Parenting a gender-diverse child requires a deep understanding of the societal constructs surrounding gender and a commitment to challenging and deconstructing these norms. It is crucial to continue advocating for the rights and inclusion of gender-diverse individuals in all aspects of society. Wendy Wink joins Dr. Lulu, Dr. Vickie, and Foster to discuss their journey as a parent of a gender-diverse child and their work in providing affordable gender-affirming electrolysis services. They share their experience of navigating through a non-affirming society and the importance of believing and supporting their child's gender identity. Wendy also highlights the significance of the chosen family and the need for accessible gender-affirming services. Key Takeaways Gender is a construct brought over by Europeans to promote white supremacy and maintain the patriarchy. Believing and supporting your child's gender identity is crucial, regardless of societal norms. Chosen family can provide the support and understanding that may be lacking from biological family members. Affordable gender-affirming services, such as electrolysis, are essential for the well-being of transgender individuals.
