On this episode of the Another Way To See It podcast, we talk with Devon Gordan. Our conversation explores the shifting landscape of Trans Rights in the United States, growing up feeling “different” without elders, role models, support and acceptance. We talk about the long journey home to self, and authentic expression.
Devon's Bio:
My name is Devon Gordan, I identify as a transmasculine and non-binary person. I use they/them pronouns. I am a certified breathwork facilitator and somatic practitioner, among other titles. It is my utmost goal to hold safe and secure spaces for queer and trans folks. At heart I am a humanitarian, doing my best to continue learning and growing as well as unlearning toxic norms, on which I was raised. I am grateful to be able to share parts of my story with you. I am looking to foster inclusive, diverse and accessible sessions for all and I am always open to suggestions and feedback. I also strive to be a resource for folks in oppressed communities during these tough times and wish to spend my time helping others as much as I can with the time I have.
