✨ New podcast episode ✨
I had the pleasure of joining The Genderqueer Menopause Coach podcast with Lasara Firefox Allen, MSW, for a conversation on menopause, informed consent, and non-linear gender trajectories.
We explored how menopause and gender-affirming care often intersect: some people experience menopause because of gender-affirming care, while others seek gender-affirming care because of menopause. Both are profound moments of embodiment and transition, yet they’re rarely discussed together.
Within an informed-consent model, this means bringing menopause into gender-affirming care conversations in ways that are lifespan-oriented, accessible, and free of cisnormative or transnormative assumptions—while also recognizing that detransition and other non-linear gender trajectories may intersect with menopause as people pause, discontinue, or reshape aspects of their transition for various reasons. As healthcare providers, our role is to accompany and support this process of self-determined embodiment at every stage of life.
