We’re back!! After a brief hiatus from recording our podcast, Over the Binary: Conversations About Gender, we’re back and better than ever. We even have a new extended name and artwork! (See below.)

“Over the Binary: Conversations About Gender,” is making its highly anticipated return this Friday, April 18th, 2025. Hosted by respected gender therapists Casey Weitzman, LMFT (she/her) and Grace O’Connor, LMFT (she/her) of Gender Wellness of Los Angeles, this podcast continues its mission of providing valuable resources, authentic testimonies, and expert answers for LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies alike.

The return episode features a meaningful reunion with the podcast’s very first guest, Luke S., a young transgender individual whose journey has inspired many listeners. This full-circle moment gives audiences the opportunity to hear how Luke’s story has evolved since his initial appearance, offering unique insights into the transgender experience in America today.

“We couldn’t think of a better way to relaunch the show than by reconnecting with Luke, whose candid sharing helped establish the authentic tone that defines Over the Binary,” shares co-host Casey Weitzman. “His perspective on how things have changed for transgender individuals since our first conversation is both enlightening and an essential listening.“

In upcoming episodes, listeners can expect thoughtful discussions centered around critical topics including:

• Gender-affirming mental health care access and resources
• Navigating social, medical, and legal transitioning
• The evolving landscape for transgender individuals of all ages in America
• Mental health support strategies for LGBTQIA+ community members
• Family dynamics and building supportive environments
• Policy developments affecting transgender and non-binary individuals

The podcast’s return comes at a crucial time—when conversations about gender identity and transgender rights continue to occupy national discourse, making reliable information and compassionate perspectives more valuable than ever.

The hosts bring their extensive clinical expertise from Gender Wellness of Los Angeles, a specialized therapy clinic dedicated to supporting transgender and non-binary individuals and their families. This professional foundation ensures discussions remain informative, sensitive, and grounded in both clinical knowledge and lived experiences.

“Our podcast serves as an extension of the work we do every day as therapists,” explains Grace O’Connor. “We’re committed to creating a space where people can find answers to their questions about gender identity, whether they’re exploring their own journey or supporting a loved one.“
