BBC - my non-binary life podcast

[HarrietTheFly]

I was looking for a podcast to listen to and found this on the BBC sounds app. I thought I'd give it a listen as I do like to try and make sure that I understand things before taking a strong view on them. I'm pretty sure of my opinion on non-binary but anyway that is why I chose to listen.

The reason I'm posting is I'm listening to episode one and I can't believe what I've just heard. The two presenters of the podcast have just visited a museum in Brighton - the museum of transology(sp?). And they're talking to a curator who is trans who said (within the context of discussing gender and children) "I think ultimately gender will be like getting a haircut... noone will even think about it". The same person about 30 seconds later is showing them an exhibition - "these are my boobs in a jar".

The three people all seem to find this amusing. I think it's horrifying. Do they want young girls to make the decision of having healthy breasts removed as easily as they'd decide to get a haircut? It's made me feel sad. I don't start threads often, I just found it upsetting.

Not sure this will work but this is the podcast:

There's nearly four hours of it!

Do they want young girls to make the decision of having healthy breasts removed as easily as they'd decide to get a haircut?

They would certainly want young people to think this - a week is a long time in politics, but it is an eternity when you are young.

You don't think too far ahead because it is beyond the horizon.

So they cannot always see how they would come to regret something like this in the distant future if it is something that seems a really good idea now or in the next month or so.

Sickening.
