With the introduction of the term "nonbinary," we've seen a surge in young people identifying as neither strictly male nor female. In this episode, originally aired in 2021, we delve into Ian Hacking's concept of "making people up" and how new classifications and identities are formed.
We also explore several critical questions: Does identifying as nonbinary necessitate medical intervention? Are there specific personality traits associated with this identity, and do they differ between males and females? For parents, how should they respond when a reserved child softly rejects the "gender binary?" Lastly, what role does the nonbinary label play for those moving in and out of trans identification?
