 Pals, we’re stoked to bring you this interview with the incredible activist and stellar human Stevie Bees! If you don’t know who they are, you’re going to enjoy getting to know them (we have links to their various sites in the show notes). Stevie joins us to talk about pushing back against the gender binary and being true to oneself. We also discuss allyship and what it means to show up for people. What happens if we make a mistake? And on the other side of things, what happens when we expect perfection from our allies?It’s a wholesome, informative, friendly conversation we hope you’ll love as much as we did. AND Stevie said they’d be happy to join us for another episode, so if you have questions or topics you’d like us to delve into, let us know.Links to StevieStevie’s websiteStevie’s link treeStevie’s FacebookStevie’s Facebook GroupWant more of Lara and Rowan?Rowan is available for speaking engagements, and Lara has coaching spots available.Transcript(please note, we do not edit these carefully so there could be some errors)00:00:00] Stevie: autism is a spectrum. Sexuality is a spectrum. gender is a spectrum. Allyship is a spectrum too.And as long as we are going the same direction, they're safe for you as long as people are.Still committed to learning, and growing from that. Welcome to another episode of Unboxing It. I am Rowan.[00:00:44] Lara: And I'm Lara.[00:00:45] Rowan: And we have a guest today.[00:00:46] Stevie: I'm Stevie.[00:00:48] Rowan: Yes, Stevie. Yes. We're so excited to have Stevie. We've been talking about having you on our show since like day one, I think. So thank you so much for being here today. I think it's gonna be a great conversation.So, I am going to tell you a little bit about Stevie, but mostly I want them to tell you about themself because I think, that is way more interesting. But Stevie Brocksom is an active community member, artist, author, queer and trans activist. A gender doula and oh boy, I cannot wait to get to what a gender doula is.I think that's gonna be fascinating for people. They see clients in the community to support them with social, legal, and medical transition. there's a lot that you do. Stevie, I wanna ask you so much about, so many things you do, you make. Shirts, you make stickers, you help the community. you have a scholarship program.you do so much. But most importantly here it says, Stevie is passionate about equity for transgender people in all marginalized communities, especially with regards to reproductive justice. And when you're not busy with your advocacy work, you can be found doing art or spending time with your kiddos and husband.So welcome, Stevie.[00:02:05] Stevie: Thank you. It's always interesting to hear when someone else reads it off. 'cause it's like, oh yeah, I do a lot of stuff.[00:02:12] Rowan: You are a very busy human being.[00:02:14] Stevie: Uh, you don't even knowthe half of it.[00:02:19] Rowan: So let's start with. A little bit about why we wanted to have you on. I'm just gonna touch on that. We can come back to it after. But one of the things that we do on this podcast, the front and center thing that we do on this podcast is we try really hard to challenge societal norms and expectations because a lot of us mean, all of us really in.Various cultures around the world, but right now we're talking about, you know, Western culture. We grow up with these ideas, these imprints of who we're supposed to be and how we are supposed to behave. And somehow this is supposed to be what leads us to contentment and success. And as we know, that is not always the case.as somebody with a non-binary child and as somebody who for a while. When I realized I was not cisgender, did identify as non-binary before I figured out that I'm just a stinky boy on the inside. I think non-binary people are of particular importance when it comes to understanding gender constructs.So I thought of anyone I know, Stevie, you would be the best suited to talk to us about this, but. Before we get into that, I wanna know a little bit about you. Like what are some of your favorite things to do in life?[00:03:37] Stevie: wow. Okay. my favorite things to do, honestly, I just follow my kids' lead.I've got two kiddos, one just turned seven and the other one's four. And, they don't have those societal norms ingrained yet, so I just follow their lead all of us are grownups trying to figure out what our inner child is doing to heal and things like that. So, like I said, I just, follow their lead.I wanna see where they're going, what they're doing. they're challenging their own gender norms and it's fascinating to watch when you don't have someone of an oppressive view of the world who's like, you know, steering you. so I've got one kiddo that. Half the days as a girl and half the days as a boy and is always wearing a tiara or a tutu and you know, like I just let them be because, you know, they're figuring it out.my favorite things to do though, ...
