It's our very first Ask Me Anything episode. And we're doing it with our non-binary hero, Sandy McIntyre.
We start off easy: What's the difference between non-binary, gender non-conforming and genderqueer? Does everyone use they/them pronouns? Should I choose gender-neutral names for my kids?
And then we turn up the heat and throw in some 🌶 spicy 🌶 questions!
Is calling yourself non-binary just a phase young people are doing to rebel? Can't you just remain a man and wear a dress? Is it harder to be gay or non-binary?
