This extended bonus conversation with Scarlet, previously only available to "GWL Fans" and premium subscribers on Substack, is so important that we are releasing here for free for all our listeners.

Show Notes:
Sasha and Stella ask Scarlet, “What would you have needed when you started to experiment with this idea of being transgender?”

“Proper medical care would be nice”

Quality therapy is essential, advocating for nuanced discussions on gender and, especially during adolescence, body image issues. A supportive environment, exposure to positive role models, and awareness around online abuse, is crucial.

In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Scarlet urges professionals to recognize that decisions regarding medical transition profoundly affect all aspects of life, emphasizing challenges with medical care, romantic relationships, and societal perceptions. He advocates for a holistic approach, underscoring the complexity of navigating diverse experiences with gender identity, warning against hasty medical decisions. Rather than just focusing on ‘gender’, address the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of a person's well-being recognizing the interconnectedness of various factors that contribute to a person's health, considering them all in diagnosis, treatment, and support.
