EP8: Let's Talk About Gendered Pronouns & The Singular 'They'

Life Through a Queer Lens

Think you've got a handle on pronouns? What if I told you there are eight gendered pronouns in the English language and the singular 'they' dates back to the 14th century? Prepare to have your mind blown as we walk you through the complexities of pronouns, gender identity, and the fascinating realm of neo pronouns. We're not just talking he, she, and they - we're delving into the lesser-known pronouns that play a crucial role in representing those outside the binary gender categories. Plus, we're breaking down the intricacies of gender identity and how it doesn't always match up with the sex assigned at birth.
But this podcast isn't just about the language, it's about respect and understanding too. We talk about why it's so important to ask for someone's pronouns and how doing so creates an environment that validates their identity. Trust us, the singular 'they' can be a tricky pronoun to navigate, and we've got some tips to make it easier. Oh, and if you thought this was all heavy discussion, brace yourself for a twist - we're spicing things up with a fun exploration into the origin of edible underwear! So buckle up, because this episode is going to be a rollercoaster ride of enlightenment, insight, and a few hearty laughs.
