Gender Centered Podcast

Gender Centered is my weekly video podcast. It looks at transgender issues, gender dysphoria, gender-affirming care, and the politics and culture around gender from a clinical psychologist's perspective. It grew out of the same problem that led me to write the book Gender Centered: the public conversation about gender rarely leaves room for nuance, and I wanted a place to bring some.

Ep. 4: Gloria Steinem, Sports, Schools & Healthcare

This week's roundup opens with a line Corinne thinks the debate has crossed — adults posting other people's children online to win arguments — then works through Gloria Steinem's legacy, the HHS Medicaid rule, Title IX and transgender athletes, the DOJ's suit against Kansas City schools, and Wales pausing gender-affirming surgery.

Ep. 3: The Transgender Debate Has a Competence Problem

Corinne argues the transgender debate suffers less from disagreement than from a lack of basic competence — people with large platforms and little understanding of the issue. She works through several current stories, asking what it would look like to argue about this well.

Ep. 2: Trans Rights, Sports, IDs & Healthcare

A weekly news roundup covering a Kansas court ruling on driver's license sex markers, the ongoing debate over transgender athletes, and federal fights over Medicaid and ACA coverage — with an eye toward the nuance the headlines usually skip.

Ep. 1: The Transgender Debate Is Broken

In the first episode, Corinne explains what pushed her to start this podcast — a conversation about gender that too often generates more heat than understanding — and what she's hoping the show can add to it.
