What is it like to be Cisgender?
Today we interviewed two of our favorite people - Liz and Eric Macdonald about how they experience gender as cisgender people. Listen to Gender Curious at your preferred podcast platform today! https://linktr.ee/gendercuriousThe Macdonald’s are amazing people who are leaders in the local community and amazing parents to a family full of incredible children, including their gay son. They work to support parents of LGBTQ+ individuals and are always creating loving and kind spaces for people to learn and grow together. As trans people, Landon and Michael have not had the experience of being cisgender, so this episode seeks to answer questions like, “What is being a cisgender person like?” While this may seem like a question with an obvious answer, it’s not an experience that we, your co-hosts have had, and we were thrilled to learn from two dear friends what their experience has been as cisgender people.Gender Curious is a Podcast that explores all things gender with curiosity and kindness.
