This first episode of Bound explores thoughts about how ideas of gender keep us bound up.  How they keep us locked into the oppression we suffer from and the oppression we perpetrate.   This episode was inspired by the work - and presence - of Jessamyn Stanley.  You can catch an interview with her here and listen to her podcast, Dear Jessamyn here.  Also, I really want to encourage you to buy her beautiful new book, Yoke.   As a white woman who has benefited from white, skinny-body privilege, this book is required reading.  I hope it reaches through all the ick of the ways we hide ourselves, to connect with your heart, like it did for me.  Also, I feel so touched that one of my white male, neurodivergent clients helped me to find it.  I want to thank him for helping me to see outside of my own gendered ideas about maleness, through the eyes of a man who sees so well how toxic masculinity left his soul misunderstood in so many ways.  May all those the world has identified as men reach his level of self-awareness and self-love. 

Where are we bound?  I think I know.  Find me on instagram @bridgetgbarnicle and on twitter @bridgetgbarnic1.  Thanks for listening.
