We Are "Transphobic" - Midwives Gone Wild Episode 1

Watch as we (Maryn and Margo) talk about the origins of the podcast name 'Midwives Gone Wild' and the reasons behind it. We highlight the concept of 'wild' in relation to pregnancy and birth, and the desire to break free from societal norms and connect with nature.

We're here to have open and honest conversations, and to challenge the traditional language and beliefs in the birth world.

During this episode, we dig into the issues surrounding the transgender movement, the impact it has on various institutions and the victim mentality and the reliance on external validation and acceptance.

Finally, we make it extremely clear that The Indie Birth Midwifery School is an organization that honors women. It is for women.
