Heidi Mavir is a best-selling author and neurodivergent adult. She also has a son that is transgender. In this episode, Heidi and I discuss how she handled her son coming out to her and how she has been in his corner ever since finding out. We talk about the media frenzy that surrounds the trans debate and why the debate has been so polarised in recent years. Heidi also offers her views on JK Rowling, gender, what it means to be a woman and how parents can support their trans children through the journey.
