Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
A very welcome and amazingly informative conversation with neuroscientist, musician and artist SIMON(E) SUN!
Without wanting to risk the simplification and distilling of this incredible chat, just rest assured that it’s one of those very special Distraction Pieces moments that I can safely say will echo through the DPP corridors for episodes to come - so here’s your chance to get in on the ground floor and prepare your appropriate beverages / walking routes / solo time (or indeed group listening time ahead of this one. It involves sex, gender and the myriad intricacies within (there’s that distilling I hinted at then!), from body to brain to hormone and beyond, and you’ll hear how it all came about too which is super interesting. There is always time to learn, evolve, and grow with what we know, and this is a perfect opportunity for those who want to broaden their knowledge or hear how to transmit said knowledge in a succinct and effective way. One for the books!

| 0:21.7 | on Transvisibility day that I felt was |
| 0:24.7 | supportive of Transvisibility day that was the intention of it anyway. I've got |
| 0:30.6 | several TransFence friends. I'm a |
| 0:33.6 | big supporter of |
| 0:35.6 | the trans community |
| 0:37.8 | trans rights and all that kind of stuff. So I did a tweet. I thought was |
| 0:42.9 | supporting of it and |
| 0:44.9 | it was slightly unresearched and it was slightly it was |
| 0:49.2 | kind of damaging in ways I didn't realize |
| 0:52.3 | Now this all seems vague, but we talk about it in the podcast and what happened was |
| 0:58.6 | Some people tweeted me and and and flagged the issues that overlooked and they sent some articles and I learned from him |
| 1:06.7 | So I removed the tweet and that's how social media should work |
| 1:12.8 | Yeah, one of the articles that I was sent was an article by Simone Sun who's a neuroscientist |
| 1:19.5 | And it was all about sex and partly about gender and the science behind it all and it blew me away |
| 1:26.8 | So I reached out to Simone immediately and asked if she would be up for coming on the podcast to have a chat about it all and that happened |
| 1:34.6 | Within like a week of this whole interaction and moment and we had one of the most |
| 1:39.4 | Enlightening conversations I've ever had I said this years ago |
