Drumroll please…..
Az Hakeem is a UK psychiatrist who has been working with gender dysphoria for over a decade. We’ve interviewed him twice on GWL: one time for our Pioneers Series in 2022 and again at the end of 2024 to hear his take on different types of transsexual and transgender classifications.
In both conversations, we were left with far more questions, ideas, and reflections than we could possibly fit into the episode, so we’re thrilled to bring these two discussions back for a thorough analysis. Noteworthy points included a mixed group that he used to run with people pre- and post-transition, which created much dissonance and questions for his members considering medicalization. And in the second interview, we drilled down into a very detailed typology of gender-related issues in males, some of which left us scratching our heads.
And we invite you to join us as we refresh our memories, revisit these episodes, and bring some notes to the next Live & Unfiltered event on Friday April 4th! (2:00 pm PT, 5:00 pm ET, 10:00 pm UK time).
Paying subscribers will find the link to our Google Meet in an upcoming post, and for those of you who are considering joining, please know that we are planning to offer an alternative time (likely on a Saturday) every other month so that we can connect with more of you - now would be a great time to consider upgrading so you can vote on your preferred time slot!
