Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind). Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.

Just Trying to Live with LouLou

Today's episode features the incredible Louise, or LouLou, and what life as a T Elder means. LouLou is just a lass trying to live her life, a transgender advocate, and hostess of 'The T Elders' podcast. We get pretty dang philosophical about topics as diverse as preventing gatekeeping within the transgender community, how gender never stops evolving, and Dickens's lesser-known novel, "Nancy Twist."
