Don't Believe Everything You Hear: How to Evaluate Gender Expertise (#45)
In this episode of Gender Matters: Insights from a Physician, we explore a challenge many face today: how to critically evaluate what we hear about gender from people we assume are “experts.” Just because someone holds a specific title or shares a personal connection to the topic doesn’t mean their perspective is comprehensive—or even accurate.
Join me as I share a fascinating story from a transgender conference that illustrates why one perspective isn’t universal, and learn how to ask the right questions to uncover where someone’s expertise truly lies. We'll also tackle the common human tendency to embrace voices that affirm our beliefs without fully understanding their background.
This episode challenges listeners to think critically and offers actionable steps for navigating expertise—without giving away too much.
Listen now to gain a better understanding of how to evaluate "experts" critically.
