For this episode we had listened to the Occupied episode 74, Dev (they, them) and Brock (he, him) deep dive into gender, identity and stigma.

Listen to it here: www.occupiedpodcast.com/074/

Dev is an occupational therapist who has a lifelong mission for enhancing education, inclusion, representation, and advocacy for those within the LGBTQIA+ community, inside and outside of healthcare settings. They can be found on instagram @therainbowot or their website https://therainbowot.com/

Our conversation ranged over a wide variety of topics including pronouns, toileting, occupational justice and the invention of a new word, all inspired by Dev and Brock's honest exploration of gender issues.

During the discussion we mention the Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland's LGBT+ Awareness and Practice Guidelines for Occupational Therapists which can be found here:
