My soul is hugged just by hearing about the ‘Screw the Gender Binary’ panel! How awesome. Hope you enjoy the book 🙂

You are so right- deeply embedded binaries. But what freedom there is in unraveling them. I remember so well the first time hearing about non-binary gender. It was at a panel discussion called “Screw the Gender Binary”. My soul was hugged! Life hasn’t been the same sense! Can’t wait to read Non-binary Lives!! ☀️

Oh so great that you feel that way, and thanks so much for the kind words, and how great to imagine my blogs could feel like a candy store! Yes I feel like moving away from all these binaries is definitely hugely helpful – if not necessarily easy at all given how deeply they are embedded.

Your blogs are stellar Dr. Meg-John as are your books. As a sex coach, (and sometimes meditation instructor) I find your fresh and queer approach to be a welcome inspiration in my work. Now, on to finish Fear/Shame and the Anatomy of a Trauma Response. I’m gaining greater insight here on fight/flight/freeze/ fawn- fear/shame and how these are reflected as binary. Never thought of it in that way. I am seeing deeper ways of knowing my non-binary self. More of getting away from the either or restraints of my inner and outer worlds. With boundaries, with freedom, with intuition, with connection. Kid in a candy store here, gobbling it all up.

So glad you found it a helpful read Iva – and releasing of some of that self-judgement that’s so common around this – your comment was very much appreciated 🙂

The frustrations of “trying” to meditate. The letting go of the attempt to make it a special thing takes the pressure off. Being part of the moment instead of wrestling with shoulds, past trauma and the efforts to face the goal of silence. I felt a release of some self judgement reading and pondering this.
