Catherine May: I quite often feel exhausted by the little advocacy I do online. She says she was forced to sort of re-confront her own feelings about running in a new book called Running Like A Girl. Catherine also reveals that 95% of all anti-vax propaganda on Facebook originated from just 12 accounts.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

This week Katherine chats to journalist and writer Alexandra Heminsley, author of Some Body to Love. After infertility treatment, a challenging pregnancy and a sexual assault, Alex found her relationship drifting apart for reasons she couldn’t fully understand. But when her partner finally disclosed that they wanted to transition to being a woman, Alex had to come to terms with something she never expected: being part of a LBTQIA+ family. In this conversation, she explores her compassionate response to her former partner’s needs, how it has changed her viewpoint on life, and how life can be remade in the face of the unexpected.
