Today, Dr. Shannon, dives deep into the common misconceptions surrounding gender identity, emphasizing the crucial understanding that gender identity is not a choice. Shannon challenges outdated terms and expressions, such as "preferred pronouns," and addresses how language can unintentionally imply choice in gender identity. She shares poignant examples from her experiences, shedding light on the language used by parents of transgender or non-binary children, the assumptions made when someone transitions, and the hurtful implications that can arise when gender identity is treated as a mere trend or a decision to be made by someone else. Join us as we explore the importance of language in shaping our perceptions and the profound need for education and understanding in how we discuss and support gender identity.
