: Episode 627 – Co-host Andy Schreiber joins Vinnie Tortorich this Wednesday on the Celebrity Fitness Trainer podcast to discuss gender identity, tonsils, vitamins, and Vinnie’s upcoming appearance at the Pasadena Icehouse.
GENDER IDENTITY
- Vinnie is supportive of people making their own decision about their gender identity
- However, he was just surprised that a child that young could realize their feelings regarding that
- Andy goes on to explain how that works
- He just had this instinctual feeling that he was not attracted to girls
- Didn’t have to do with the sexual mechanics
- He just had this instinctual feeling that he was not attracted to girls
- Kids figure this out at their own pace
- Some kids can figure out what their comfortable identity is at 5, others at 10 or 11 or older
- Sexual identity is VERY different from something like changing food preference
- Vinnie is just wondering where all this was when he was a kid
- Andy believes the difference now is children are less shamed and less afraid to share their feelings
- Caitlyn Jenner has had a role in changing the public’s idea of gender identity
