No matter your gender identity—trans, nonbinary, or cisgender—we all have so many expectations put on how we show up in the world based on very restrictive ideas around gender. But my guest in today’s episode, Rae McDaniel, is passionate about empowering people of all gender identities to show up as congruent, authentic, and aligned with the person they really want to be.
Rae is a licensed clinical therapist, certified sex therapist, transgender DEI educator, and author of Gender Magic. Listen in as we talk about gender, gender inclusion, and gender freedom.
We’re exploring:
[3:33] The premise of Rae’s book, Gender Magic
[7:07] Why Gender Magic is also super powerful for cisgendered folks as well
[11:18] The idea of gender as a performance
[15:44] What it means to play with gender and why this step is so important
[21:05] Masculine vs feminine energy and how Rae advises you to think about them differently
[27:08] Their experience of coming to this work
[29:44] How to be a better supporter to anyone who may be exploring their gender identities
