2025 is the 6th Season of The Boomer Woman’s Podcast. Each episode is a conversation between me – I’m Agnes Knowles, your host – and a guest who talks to a subject that, someway, somehow, is relatable to Boomer Women. The guests can be any age, any gender, as long as their message is positive, informative, pertinent to our demographic. You, dear listener, might need to be open-minded, curious, tolerant, inclusive… and if you are, you will enjoy these conversations, maybe learn something, and I encourage you to share each and any episode!

Sex and Gender and Transition with Amethysta Herrick, Part 1

Part 1: Amethysta Herrick is… or has been… a geneticist, a chemist, a software engineer, and a manager. She is also a transgender woman. If that sounds a little outside your comfort zone, in these times it’s all the more reason to listen in.
In Part 1 of this episode, Ami discusses:
- Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
- Our core set of knowledge
- The fluidity of social norms
- Gender and identity – sex vs gender (things get sciencey here)
- Other terms: non-binary, pansexual, asexual, intersexual
- Dysphoria as Pathology? That’s the medical system!
Facts! and Science! are not the norm it seems these days so if you need to listen twice like I did, do it. Part 2 of our conversation follows this one.
