Gender-Affirming Self-Care with Matty Hennessey

Gender Identity Weekly

Today's episode features Matty Hennessey and his journey within the gender-expansive community. Matty is the Founder, CEO, and Product Designer for Eversense Toys, a sex toy company targeted directly at making intimacy more comfortable for the gender-expansive community. Matty and I mull over topics as diverse as how children observe gender innocently, the struggle to be seen, and how important it is to take action when you know something is right.
