We're just humans with hormones, with Emma Hollen

<p>I invited Emma Hollen onto the pod because of a super-entertaining Twitter thread about her struggle to get a tubal ligation, and her eventual success, at age 30. As a pansexual, non-binary person, Emma doesn't feel that she fits the narrow definition of "woman" that society would force her into. And, as a science journalist, she taught me a lot about the diversity of the natural world, our place in the universe, and our chemical urge to procreate - which is distinct and different from some people's desire to have and raise a child. </p><p>Read the <a href="https://twitter.com/Emma_Hollen/status/1432352708296691717">Twitter thread</a> that tells the story of Emma's sterilisation... with GIFs!</p><p>Listen to the podcast episode Emma referred to, <a href="https://wearechildfree.com/podcast/08-sarah-chebaro">No doubts, with journalist Sarah Chebaro</a>.</p>
