Join Us for Monthly Live & Unfiltered Events with Sasha and Stella

Stella O’Malley and Sasha Ayad are two therapists interested in how the concept of gender is impacting our culture and shaping our society. For nearly a decade, we've been exploring sex and gender and helping patients and families impacted by gender issues. As we've dug into the shifting concepts of identity, gender, and transition, we felt unsatisfied by clichés, mental health platitudes, and modern gender jargon.

Have you ever thought there's got to be more to all this trans stuff than political slogans? Well, we're right there with you. Since 2020, on our podcast, Gender: A Wider Lens, we've discussed all things trans with brilliant guests, including academic philosophers, journalists, doctors, therapists, trans people, detrans people, parents, and many others. In hundreds of conversations, we've tried to hold a spirit of honesty and compassion while staying grounded in reality and sanity.

After four years of creating this podcast, we're shifting gears into our Substack only Live and Unfiltered events. Once a month, you can now join us on Substack for discussions about current events in the gender world and analysis of your favorite episodes of Gender: A Wider Lens. Grab your coffee or cocktail and hang out with us in our new live and unrecorded private sessions.

Don't worry, our entire huge archive of episodes isn't going anywhere. You can still find us on all major podcast platforms, and you can watch us on YouTube and look at helpful playlists that organize past episodes so you can find exactly what you're looking for. But our main hub continues to be Substack, where you can listen to four years’ worth of free episodes, or become a paid subscriber to join our new monthly, Live and Unfiltered events.

Our paid Substack membership is also the only place to access over 100 premium episodes featuring answers to listener questions and bonus content with our guests. We'd love for you to come and say hi, drop us a question, or tell us what episodes you'd like us to analyze.

So join us on Substack. As we look at gender, from a wider lens.
