I Was Just Trying to Help

What are the pitfalls of “just trying to help”? Well-meaning
people sometimes make things more complicated. And some systems
ostensibly meant to “help” those in need cause more harm than
good.


Nyge explores good intentions gone wrong, and how that plays out
in the trans experience in conversation with journalist Tuck
Woodstock, host of the “Gender Reveal” podcast. Plus, disability
justice activist Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu helps unpack how
our mental health “care” system can create unintended harm and
trauma.
