Episode 8 - Non-binary identity within the LGBTQ community with special guests Egg and ‘Olly
In episode 8, Ana and Maryann meet special guests Egg and ‘Olly to discuss their non-binary identity within the LGBTQ community.
We hear their journey of how they came to identify as non-binary, we discuss what non-binary means, and terminology such as genderqueer, agender and bigender, we learn how to use people's preferred pronouns (how to ask, what to do if you slip up), and ways that we can better support non-binary people in LGBTQ spaces.
