Description

In this episode of Femme on the Spectrum, host Elizabeth explores a paradox in society's attitude towards truth-telling; while honesty is publicly championed, those who expose inconvenient truths often face pushback. This behavior is linked to maintaining the social status quo, as well as an instinctive aversion to discomfort. Elizabeth further delves into the psychological reasonings behind this, highlighting the inclination of groups to defend toxicity and label those who challenge it as problematic. She offers advice for navigating these waters, stressing the importance of knowing your audience, selecting your battles, and seeking likeminded individuals who appreciate honesty. Above all else, Elizabeth champions the value of truth, asserting that authenticity and integrity prevail.
