Welcome back to Gaining Mom-entum! This week, Abi & Meghan have a conversation about gender. They wonder why some people have such a hard time with the idea that gender exists beyond the binary. They talk about growing up as girls and what they have internalized and carried with them into adulthood about gendered norms. They discuss what stereotypes that other people have tried to impose on their children and what they’re trying to push back against. This conversation is just part 1 of Meghan & Abi's discussion on gender and how they’re approaching gender in their parenting. As always, they welcome all input from their wonderful, growing, Gaining Mom-entum community. Thanks for listening!
