Judgment comes easily to most of us - at best, it can help us survive. At worst, it can leave us so triggered we can't function. Listen in to explore a real moment, and how to use Nonjudgmental Stance as a tool that can turn hard conversations into teachable moments. Post-Note: This episode uses the term "intersex", defined by isna.org as "a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types—for example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia. Or a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of her cells have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY." TOOL: Nonjudgmental Stance.
