In this powerful episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily sits down with Jeffrey Marsh, the first openly non-binary public figure interviewed on national television, author of "How to Be You," and a Zen-trained meditation teacher who has helped millions embrace self-acceptance. This conversation goes deep into identity, authenticity, and the radical act of loving yourself exactly as you are. Jeffrey shares their journey from childhood feelings of not fitting into traditional gender roles to becoming a leading voice for non-binary visibility and self-compassion. We explore the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation, the importance of using correct pronouns as basic respect, and how Jeffrey's 20+ years of Zen practice has shaped their approach to self-love and helping others break free from shame. This episode addresses the real challenges of coming out, setting boundaries with family, and the courage it takes to live authentically in a world that often demands conformity. Jeffrey offers practical wisdom on moving from self-criticism to self-acceptance, why asking for what you need is essential for healthy relationships, and how their work helps people - especially parents - learn to support LGBTQ+ loved ones. Whether you're exploring your own identity, supporting someone in your life, or simply want to understand how to love yourself more fully, this conversation offers profound insights on breaking free from societal expectations and embracing your authentic self.

Welcome back to Queer Wrath Month, Neurodivergent Creative!In this episode, Caitlin dives deep into nonbinary gender identity—what it is, what it isn't, and why it's time we unlearn the binaries we've been spoon-fed... because apparently, it's 2025 and some of y'all still think gender has only two options like it's a sad vending machine. (ugh!)If you're nonbinary, this episode is for you.If you're confused about what it means, this episode is for you.If you're mad about it... you might need to hear it even more.The truth is gender diversity has alwaaaays existed. If you can believe in left-handed people, redheads, and the periodic table of elements, you can believe in nonbinary folks too. It's time we bust these binaries, call out all these cisnomartive nonsense, and wear your gender however the hell you want.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law on Wednesday that bans gender-affirming medical care for minors. For many transgender people, the ruling is yet another setback in a long line of attacks on their rights that stretches back through most of human history. And yet, transgender people have created a rich legacy throughout, especially in the Bay Area. Two new projects highlight their stories. One is a KQED series profiling important trans artists and activists from the 1890s-2000s. Another is a new book, “So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color”. We'll talk to their creators and an expert in gender law about the court's decision and what lessons we can take from trans history. Guests: Nastia Voynovskaya, editor and reporter, KQED Arts Caro De Robertis, author, "So Many Stars: an Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two Spirit People of Color"; They are also the author of the novels "The Palace of Eros," "The President and the Frog," "Cantoras," "The Gods of Tango," "Perla" and "The Invisible Mountain."

We hear this question a lot lately: How do we Save America? Whispered in grief and shouted in frustration. From parents afraid for their trans kids, from exhausted teachers, from faith leaders trying to hold shattered communities together. We hear it from the hearts of people who love this country—not so much for what it has been, but for what it could be.Saving America is not about taking it back. It's about bringing it forward.

Montaigne is one of Australia’s most original voices. A genre-defying, ARIA-winning musician known for their theatrical flair and fearless honesty. From representing Australia on the Eurovision stage to carving out space as a non-binary artist, Montaigne brings both vulnerability and power to everything they do. In this episode, Jess sits down with the brilliant performer to uncover the real person behind the glitter and grandeur. Montaigne opens up about identity, family, and the emotional refuge they find in music. They reflect on the pressure of performing on one of the world’s biggest stages, what it means to be a confident introvert, and how creativity became a lifeline. With honesty and humour, Montaigne shares what it truly means to take up space, and how the stage gives them permission to express who they really are.

In season 2 episode 8, Mark-Eugene and Dylan spotlight two favorite non-binary playwrights, then introduce a panel celebrating the groundbreaking anthology Beyond the Binary: Eight Non-Binary Plays. Though non-binary voices have a rich theatrical history, they're still underrepresented on today's stages. Beyond the Binary shifts that narrative with short plays exploring identity at the intersections of race, religion, class, politics, and pop culture. From Joan of Arc to talking toys, New York apartments to family bonds—these works capture the breadth of non-binary experience and joy.

What happens when ADHD doesn't look the way people expect it to, and what's the cost when it gets missed?This week, Sam and Katie are joined by psychotherapist, activist and founder of ADHD Babes, Vivienne Isebor, to explore how ADHD shows up differently in Black women and non-binary people, and why that matters. Vivienne shares her own late diagnosis story, the cultural barriers that still exist around recognising ADHD, and how building a community for people like her became life-saving.Together, they unpack the damage caused by stereotypes, the inherited silence around neurodivergence, and the importance of joy, rest and connection in healing. Vivienne talks candidly about the emotional toll of being misread, the power of peer support, and why she's hopeful about the future- even while pushing for systemic change.Whether you're navigating your own diagnosis or just want to understand what ADHD looks like beyond the clichés, this conversation is packed with insight, care and collective wisdom.Find out more about ADHD Babes here New episodes of You're Wrong About ADHD are available every Wednesday and Friday.

For Caz Simone, football has always been part of their life. The Huddersfield Town Women player uses their platform not only to talk about the beautiful game but their journey as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community – including as a proud gender non-conforming person and advocate. It's not bad for someone who was afraid of even joining a team at all when they were twelve years old – and in the years since then, Caz has gone on to do loads in the game, winning the LGBTQIA+ Award from the Football Black List and testing themselves against some of the biggest names in the sport. So, what does football mean for Caz – and how are they using their position right now? They join us for a cracking conversation that ranges from everything from discovering their identity to their finest moments in the game – to a little bit of breaking news on the podcast as well. It's a conversation that is honest, that's raw, that's often very funny, as Caz talks about using their platform to inspire others and open football up to everyone! It's a fantastic chat, and we can't thank Caz enough for it!

June is Pride Month—a time dedicated not just to parades and rainbow flags but to profound affirmation and resistance against discrimination.The skewed Christian view of pride involves a self-centered attitude, placing oneself above others and, most critically, above God. But the LGBTQ+ community is not declaring themselves above anyone else.Pride Month was born from a necessity to stand against oppression and claim a rightful place in society—not out of a desire to dominate but a need to exist openly and safely. It's about love, not arrogance.Today, we share an encore presentation about what Pride really is and how it's a powerful expression of love's triumph over shame.

The weeklong summer camp experience fosters a lasting sense of self-esteem, creativity, and personal empowerment for all participants.  By offering a safe and creative space, the camp enables participants to express their thoughts, share ideas, and pursue their dreams.GXRLS ROCK! provides a supportive, inclusive space for girls and non-binary youth to discover their voices, make friends, and gain life-changing confidence. Throughout the week, campers learn an instrument, form a band, attend workshops, and write and perform an original song – often having never picked up an instrument before. All gear is provided, and students are guided by enthusiastic staff, many of them local San Diego artists, who make learning songwriting and music theory fun and accessible.This summer, GXRLS ROCK! hopes to make camp an unforgettable experience for all who participate. To help ensure access for all, a limited number of full and partial scholarships are available. Applications are also open for volunteer and paid staff roles, offering adults a chance to support this dynamic program.This year's 10th Anniversary Camper Showcase will be an unforgettable celebration of creativity, confidence, and community. “The Camper Showcase is such a special part of camp,” says Grove. “It's incredible to see what these young musicians create in just five days. We hope the community will join us on June 14 at Music Box to celebrate their hard work and hear some amazing original songs. It's a fun, inspiring show—and it's open to everyone.” With extra flair planned in honor of this milestone year, it's the perfect event for families, music lovers, and supporters of youth empowerment.Want a video experience?

Send us a textComing out as fat is harder than coming out as transgender, at least in our experience. When performer and cabaret artist Ross Anderson-Doherty refused to pursue weight loss as medical treatment, their healthcare became a weapon of punishment rather than care. In this raw conversation, we explore how medical fatphobia intersects with transphobia, classism, and ableism to create devastating trauma that nearly destroyed one person's will to live. Ross's journey from medical neglect to triumphant revenge reveals the urgent need to recognize healthcare discrimination as the trauma it truly is.  You can catch Ross performing at the Cabaret Supper Club in Belfast.

Your child says, “Mom, I'm Gay!”You want to shove those words back in and put the lid on. But you can't. Your child is gay or bisexual or transgender. This goes against everything you've been taught. It was not what you had in mind, and you instantly wonder where you went wrong.When you become a parent, you know to expect the unexpected. But for many Christian parents, nothing can prepare them to hear this from their child. I invite you to sit down, relax, maybe get a cup of tea, and soak in what we talk about today. My hope is to guide you as we walk for a bit through this maze of confusion, to help you find your way to wholeness.Whether you have been on this journey for days or decades, this is a wonderful episode for you. Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

We heard from a Mom who loves her daughter but does not accept her being gay, understanding but not really understanding, embracing but letting her daughter know she does not approve.And this Mom could not understand why that was wrong, and why her heart need to be set free.She represents many on this journey of deconstruction who are in limbo – so overwhelmed by the voices coming from the church, Christian friends, old false teachings, that they cannot hear the still small voice of Spirit. What is this Mom supposed to do? Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

In this episode of Voices of Esalen, host Sam Stern sits down with two members of the Esalen community, Sarah Lavelle (also known as Sawyer) and Abigail Barnes (also known as Bo), for a heartfelt conversation about non-binary identity, self-expression, and the journey of living beyond the binary. Topics include personal stories, pronouns, the evolving language of gender, and the beauty and difficulty of being one's authentic self in a world still learning how to understand. Sawyer is a longtime full-spectrum doula, facilitator, and devoted practitioner of meditation, Buddha-dharma, and Relational Gestalt Practice in the tradition of Dick Price and Dorothy Charles. A seeker of liberation for all beings, they embody presence and compassion in all they do. Abigail is a teacher at Big Sur Park School and a beloved presence in the Esalen lodge.

While Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) has been a topic of heated debate in the media of late, the call to value every person is nothing new—it's at the heart of the Gospel. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus radically included those who were excluded and stood up against injustice; showing us how important diversity is and how we should be living our lives in a way that challenges all forms of discrimination, just as He did. This week Cherlyn Chia, Co-leads of MIC's Queer Women of Colour Life Group and MIC's Praise and Worship Ministry, generously shares moments from her own life that inspired her to look deeply into the significance of standing up for equity not only for her life, but for those around her, and looking into the bible to see God's plan for diversity.To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Send us a textMany times when we hear or read the phrase soul mate, we think of it in a very romantic way. But, soul mate relationships can be platonic. They can be found in friendships that love us down and encourage us to be our full selves. And, in this Dem Bois Podcast first, I sit down with Kelz and we discuss what that term actually means. In this conversation, we dive into critical analysis, identity, and the significance of friendship and community. And, Kelz emphasizes the importance of visibility in queer narratives and the personal nature of identity language.

In this inspiring episode of the Heartful Parent Podcast, I have the pleasure of  welcoming  the incredible Jeanne Wolz—entrepreneur, career alignment coach, and founder of Sirens Rising.  Jeanne joins the podcast to share her personal journey from educator to purpose-driven business owner, and how she now helps women and non-binary folks align their careers with their deepest callings.  Jeanne and I dig into what it really means to listen to your calling, move through the fear that comes with it, and take small but powerful steps toward creating a life—and career—that feels meaningful. This conversation goes beyond just personal growth; it's also about how we, as parents, can model courage and action for our kids. Jeanne helps us explore how embracing our own callings and standing up for what we believe in helps raise children who are empowered to do the same.  This episode is a gentle reminder to all of us that taking action isn't just brave—it's a vital part of who we are. By taking one small step at a time, and empowering our kids to do the same, we really can make a difference.  Resources: sirensrising.co Playing Big with Tara Mohr Raising Antiracist Children by Britt Hawthorne Follow Christy @theheartfulparent | Join the Heartful Parent Academy with code PODCAST
