S2 Ep79: Gender Magic with Rae McDaniel

As a sexual medicine expert, I interact with people every day who are confused, mystified, and often put off by the very idea that someone does not define themselves by the sex they were assigned at birth. My guest is Rae McDaniel - a non-binary therapist, certified sex therapist, transgender diversity and inclusion educator, and the author of Gender Magic- Live Shamelessly, Reclaim Your Joy and step into Your Most Authentic Self. Gender Magic is not only a road map for individuals that do not neatly fit into a binary world but also for those who want to support a child, colleague, or loved one, or want to understand the transgender non-binary world better.  We start by defining the following terminology: Cis Gender Non-binary Binary Transgender Transsexual Queer We then go on to discuss: How a parent ideally would respond if either a very young child or an adult child reveals that they are non-binary or trans Appropriate pronoun use When the school doesn’t tell parents that their child identifies as non-binary or trans The best way to come out to parents and other family members and friends Frequency of regret after transition Why a name change is important The importance of solo sex and fantasy The importance of therapy when transitioning The concept of ethical curiosity  Why doing burlesque can be empowering!  What gender freedom is Gender Magic- Live Shamelessly, Reclaim Your Joy, and Step into Your Most Authentic Self https://www.amazon.com/Gender-Magic-Shamelessly-Reclaim-Authentic/dp/1538724898/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=  Rae McDaniel Instagram: @theraemcdaniel and @practicalaudacity Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/raemcdanielgendermagic Websites  http://www.rae-mcdaniel.com   https://www.gendermagic.com https://www.practicalaudacity.com Look Down There Podcast with Michelle L’amour and Dr. Streicher https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/look-down-there/episodes/Menopause-A-New-Hope-with-Dr--Lauren-Streicher-e1p7drs/a-a8mcqrh Sign up to receive DR.
