Delanie Fischer is joined by Billie Lee—comedian, activist, and the first openly transgender cast member on BravoTV’s Vanderpump Rules—and Dr. Gina Torino, psychologist and microaggression expert, to share insights from their book, Why Are You So Sensitive?: Navigating Everyday, Unintended Microaggressions. They discuss why microaggressions aren’t “micro” at all, the devastating impact they can have on wellbeing, livelihood, and safety, how to raise our own awareness to become better allies, and practical tips for handling unintended microaggressions with grace—whether you’re the receiver, the giver, or a bystander. This conversation is judgment-free, we’ve all committed and experienced microaggressions, whether we realize it or not.

Plus:

+ The #1 Thing to Do Before Taking Action on Someone’s Behalf

+ Assumptions We Make Based on Gender, Age, Race, and More

+ 3 Common Microaggressions Disguised as Compliments
