Diving Into Gender Literacy with Schuyler Bailar

Karin is honored to be joined by Schuyler Bailar (he/him), internationally-celebrated inspirational speaker, author, advocate for trans inclusion, body acceptance, and mental health awareness, and the 1st trans athlete on an NCAA D1 men's team. By 15, he was one of the nation’s top-20 15-year-old breast-strokers. By 17, he set a national age-group record. In college, he swam for Harvard University, on Harvard’s winningest team in 50 years. Schuyler’s difficult choice – to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being an NCAA Champion – was historic. His story has appeared everywhere from 60 Minutes to The Washington Post. Schuyler’s tireless advocacy has earned him numerous honors including LGBTQ Nation’s Instagram Advocate for 2020. In 2021, Schuyler also released his first middle-grade novel, "Obie Is Man Enough”. And in 2022, Schuyler created LaneChanger.com making gender literacy education accessible to every team, school and company.

Join Karin and Schuyler for a discussion on gender literacy, gender affirming treatment, the different phases of transition, therapeutic and medical gatekeeping, Schuyler’s gender literacy course LaneChanger.com, the trauma from misgendering clients, the origins of Schuyler’s first novel “Obie Is Man Enough” and much more.
