On today's episode Luis talks about navigating gender dysphoria without an urgency model. He speaks directly from his experience of gender dysphoria as an intersex person.

Some of the topics he discusses are:

  • how gender dysphoria doesn’t always go away, but we can change our relationship with it
  • how gender dysphoria is a spiritual experience
  • tending to the rupture of how the mind sees and treats the body
  • some of the additional roots of gender dysphoria: cancer, medical treatment for certain illness, puberty, and aging
  • social constructs and gender roles

Luis brings his usual curiosity and nuance to the way we experience our bodies, from an animistic and somatic perspective.
