What if I have Doubts?

What if I have Doubts?

Elle talks about her experience with doubt as it relates to gender identity, and transition. She reflects on the cultural pressures prevailing on trans people to "get it right" as well as the personal consequences that come to us when we pretend to know it all in whatever sense. Some of the themes touched in this episode include: passing as a transgender person, finding partners, cultural gaslighting, incorrect assumptions about trans narratives, TERF ideology, the bimodal spectrum of gender and sex characteristics, lonliness, learning and performing gender, imposter syndrome, Lizzo, and a sermon about doubt. Elle references the following media items in this episode:

  • Lizzo's song "Like a Girl" - https://youtu.be/z_xCVttXLm0
  • Julia Serano and the Bimodal Spectrum - https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Intrinsic_Inclinations_Model
  • A great piece about doubt by an affirming and inclusive theologian, Peter Enns - The Sin of Certainty - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/25816844
  • How Beautiful We Were - a novel by Imbolo Mbue - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/51794532
