Episode 320

Sasha Ayad joins Something For Everybody this week. Sasha is a licensed therapist, author and speaker who focuses on the way gender dysphoria and personal identity impacts children and families.

In this conversation, Sasha Ayad and I explore the complexities of balance in life, the evolving nature of identity, particularly in youth, and the implications of gender identity discussions. We delve into the importance of exploration in identity development, the impact of social media, and the controversies surrounding gender-affirming care. Sasha shares her insights on the challenges faced by young people today and the need for a more nuanced understanding of identity and gender. We explore the authoritarian nature of current gender identity politics, the courage required to speak out against prevailing narratives, and the impact of emerging research on gender medicine.
