Episode 210: Ocean Atlas, Author of Nonbinary for Beginners
All humans want to be acknowledged and valued. It's a basic need, and for those who lie outside the norm in any way, often they don't get that need fulfilled. Gender is one of those areas, and it causes a lot of confusion for people who fit neatly within the norm, and a lot of mental anguish for those who don't fit. This is why this week's guest Ocean Atlas wrote Nonbinary for Beginners, (https://www.amazon.com/Nonbinary-Beginners-Everything-pronouns-thinking/dp/B0B95ZCCM7) an incredibly well written book book about all things related to people outside the typically accepted boy or girl boxes.
In this fascinating episode, Ocean explains the importance of being respected and accepted for who we are, and helps us understand how we can do that for everyone. We also talk about
- Pronouns, how to use them, why to use them and how they show respect.
- Gender vs sexuality
- Binary vs nonbinary
- HUMAN Equality, and how that’s what we should all be striving for!
