Summary
What assumptions do you make about your gender? In this one, Ev’Yan speaks to Dayna Lynn Nuckolls (The People’s Oracle) about what it looks like to decolonize gender and why we probably need to decolonize ours. They both speak about the binary and how harmful our gendered ideas of masculinity and femininity are, how language and labels flatten us, and the ways indigenous cultures have viewed gender and gender roles. Dayna also explains what it really means to decolonize something. At the end, Ev’Yan offers questions to get you curious about your own gender to help you parse through what was shaken up in this episode.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome to sensual self. |
| 0:15.1 | I'm Evian Whitney, and this is a space for you to slow down, tune in, heal and feel the sensations |
| 0:25.6 | and pleasures of your sensual body. Thank you for being here. |
| 0:34.3 | Hello, sensual babes. I'm so happy to have you here on another episode of sensual self. |
| 0:42.5 | Before we get into this episode, can I ask you for a quick favor? It won't take more than a couple minutes, |
| 0:50.5 | but would you write a review for this podcast? I took a quick gander at my podcast stats the other day |
| 0:58.2 | and I noticed that I haven't gotten any new reviews in like a minute. I don't know too much about |
| 1:06.9 | how podcast algorithms work but I have heard that reviews are a big, big help in getting |
| 1:14.3 | people to find the show and also letting the powers that be know that this is a podcast that exists |
| 1:22.6 | and folks like listening to. The review doesn't have to be anything crazy, just a couple sentences |
| 1:30.7 | about what you like about sensual self, what you've learned about yourself since tuning in, |
| 1:37.6 | and maybe mentioning one of your favorite episodes. You can do this on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're able to review, |
| 1:47.3 | and you can do it right now. Like right now, go ahead, pause this episode, and write a little |
| 1:55.2 | message of love for a sensual self. I'll be here when you come back. Did you do it? Oh my gosh, thank you so much. |
| 2:08.9 | I really, really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and thank you for saying such |
| 2:16.9 | sweet things about sensual self. It really, |
| 2:20.6 | really helps and I'm really grateful that you enjoy it so much. And who knows? Your view just might |
| 2:28.8 | be selected in a random drawing I could be doing in a few weeks where you can enter to win a copy of my soon-to-be |
| 2:37.1 | released book, Sintual Self. Maybe. Probably. Okay, yes, it will. I will be giving away one |
| 2:47.9 | of my book to someone who leaves a review for this podcast and I'll announce the winner |
| 2:53.9 | on a new episode sometime in a couple of weeks. So go ahead, leave a review or leave another |
| 3:02.7 | review if you haven't done one in a couple years. And thanks, thank you again. |
