Project Vaani Ep-11 | Beyond the Binary Body

Rotaract Club of Ingenious Minds proudly presents the 11th episode of Project Vaani, in which we are joined by budding psychologist Manya Anand for a thoughtful conversation on going beyond the binary body. Together, we dive into the lived experiences of diverse gender identities and how these intersect with health and well-being. Manya reflects on the challenges faced by individuals navigating systems that are often built on rigid binaries, while also highlighting the importance of empathy and awareness in reshaping our understanding of gender.

The discussion moves into the healthcare space, unpacking the barriers that prevent equitable access and the steps needed to create more inclusive, affirming care. From breaking stereotypes to reimagining support structures, this episode offers insights into how care providers, communities, and individuals can work toward a system that truly respects and responds to everyone’s unique identity.

Whether you are interested in psychology, gender studies, healthcare, or simply wish to broaden your perspective, this conversation is an invitation to think critically and compassionately about the world around us.
