Ever wondered about the appropriate way to approach gender identity, use language in a way to make people feel comfortable and even more so - how to explain and guide your kids in all of this?? We certainly have! So today we have the best person to guide us through gender identity, inclusivity and ultimately how we can raise our children to be their authentic selves in a gendered world. Our guest Adrienne Harper-Pike shares her lived experience with feeling 'othered' and as a bit of outsider in the way she was raised in a conservative bible belt, mid-west American community. She's now a mother of 5-year-old twins living in Victoria, Australia, in a queer relationship with a non-binary partner. She practices an 'aware parenting’ style to raise her children and works as an ‘aware parenting’ educator. In this episode she shares her wonderful and inclusive insight to language, labelling, gender identity and raising children. A fascinating and informative chat. We hope you enjoy.
