How Well Do We Understand Gender? with Jamie Raines, Shaaba Lotun and Harnaam Kaur Youth Rising by NCS

    • Education

Young voices. Big issues. Welcome to Youth Rising by NCS! The podcast for young people, made by young people. This week we’re exploring gender - what it means and the expectations society puts on it. From the perceived conceptions of gender, to how we understand it. In 2022, how do we move forward with accepting and expressing gender outside of existing binaries?



Youth Rising team member Haleem speaks to Jamie Raines and Shaaba Lotun, Youtubers, couple and childhood best friends about the stages of transition, the dysphoria that can surround it and family support.



Later, Ella speaks to life coach, model and activist, Harnaam Kaur, about body hair, society's pressure around gender and finding your own expression. 



Reading List:

Manifesto for Misfits by Glyn Fussell

Transmission: My Quest to a Beard by Alex Bertie

Light Is the New Black: A Guide to Answering Your Soul's Callings and Working Your Light by Rebecca Campbell
