Navigating Non-Binary

Change can be scary. And in today’s world of ever-evolving language around gender and identity, it can make it hard for someone to ask questions without feeling judged or misunderstood. In today’s episode, host Calan Breckon opens up the conversation around navigating non-binary with genderqueer author Jason June and what his journey was like and how it now informs his work as a writer. Together they explore questions like… What is Non-Binary and what does it mean to be non-binary? What’s the most important thing people need to know about Non-binary and genderqueer people? Why do you think we’re experiencing more of a conversation around gender and gender identities in recent years? and much more! After this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of the term Non-Binary and how you can navigate this ever-evolving and growing landscape around gender and identity.

When not writing, JJ zips about Austin, Texas. He loves dinosaurs, unicorns, Pomeranians, and anything magical that takes you to a different world or time. JJ is a tried and true Laura Dern stan, and he is actively looking for an Andalite friend.
