43. Gender Dysphoria

The moral of today's story is that it's effing hard to have an open and honest conversation while being politically correct. See for yourselves as Meaghan teaches Marta about gender dysphoria, and the difference between sex and gender (a lesson that Marta doesn't seem to grasp). We also talk about: 

• Gender dysphoria and gender identity
• Classification, diagnosis, and treatment of gender dysphoria
• One of Meaghan's top 5 favourite Star Trek Episodes (yes, we went there)
• Transgender politics and how to have a dialogue while remaining respectful (spoiler: its hard as heck)
