| 0:00.0 | All right, it's a Rebecca sowed. |
| 0:02.4 | So let's get into it. What do you say? There's some good questions here. |
| 0:06.4 | Okay, I'm excited. |
| 0:07.7 | Annual Upper Tear Patron, anonymous, she says, |
| 0:11.3 | Dear Dr. K and Rebecca, can you educate our older listeners about non-binary people? |
| 0:18.3 | What is it and why do they feel the need to be to be part of one gender or the other? |
| 0:23.1 | I want to understand so I'm compassionate to these people. |
| 0:27.0 | I grew up in the 80s in a very conservative area and most people my age here have no understanding |

| 1:24.0 | those poles? What if you rejected some of being masculine and went towards some of being feminine? |
| 1:31.9 | But enjoyed some parts of being masculine. So it's like, I don't know, it's like if you opened up |
| 1:38.8 | the whole color palette and just got to choose what you wanted, dress the way you wanted, |
| 1:45.4 | dress outside of gender norms, view your internal landscape outside of gender norms. |
| 1:53.0 | So it's accepting of a very wide variety of presentation and thought style and being in the world. |
