** TRIGGER WARNING- THIS EPISODE MENTIONS SUICIDE**
Now, brace yourselves as we tread into uncharted territory – the often misunderstood and stigmatized subject of gender dysphoria. Together, KathyDan and Jess unpack the distress experienced by individuals whose gender identity doesn't align with their sex assigned at birth. By dissecting the social stigma, the potential harmful behaviors, and the ripple effect on mental health, we aim to shed light on the pressing need for empathy and understanding. We explore the stance of global governing bodies and potential risks associated with such medical interventions. But hang in there, as we wind up the discussion by delving into gender diversity and the vital distinction between gender and sexual orientation. So, whether you're keen to unravel the complexities of gender dysphoria or simply yearn for a compelling conversation, this episode is sure to keep you hooked.
