Identity has become tribal, and it’s stopping us understanding each other’s humanity. Activist, writer, and model Munroe Bergdorf explains how fear and anger for society’s issues have been misdirected towards trans people.In this chat with Fearne, Munroe talks through what the recent UK Supreme Court ruling on biological sex and gender means for trans women, cis women, and society more widely. How, for example, are trans rights intimately connected to abortion rights?Fearne and Munroe chat about how to practice self-acceptance, particularly around body image, and how to use your voice to create positive change. They also cover grief, and numbing out as a way of dealing with poor mental health.Munroe’s new book, Talk To Me, is out on June 5th, and you can watch her documentary, Love and Rage, in cinemas from June 10th.This episode also contains an exclusive first listen to a chapter of Kirsty Gallagher’s new book, Your Cosmic Purpose, which is published by Happy Place Books on June 5th.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:<a href="https://pod.fo/e/2154cb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emma Dabiri</a><a href="https://pod.fo/e/28dfd0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Olly Alexander</a><a href="https://pod.fo/e/185156" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kirsty Gallagher</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
