Engaging With Masculinity

Jala is joined by Briar and Zombi to talk about how gender identity affects everyone and why it is significant, as well as discussing how we engage with masculinity. This is a continuation of the performance of identity themes of prior topical episodes.

NOTE: Briar was supposed to be on this episode but due to internet troubles, created a blog post instead for their part of the episode. Please be sure to check out their post here: Briar Engages With Masculinity!

Articles:

• Exploring Gender and Gender Identity
• Gender Identity and Mental Health
• The Role of Gender Affirmation in Psychological Well-Being Among Transgender Women

Referenced during the show:

• Sticky Dilly Buns from Pixie Trix Comix - The webcomic that helped Zombi realize they are gender fluid.
• Sister Claire - A webcomic with great queer, trans and poly representation, including the shapeshifting gender fluid bird witch that Zombi would like very much to be.
• ALOK: The Urgent Need for Compassion - YouTube podcast episode from Man Enough, with ALOK. This is a must watch!
