What is an ACCEPTANCE-BASED Personal Identity?

Most people think identity is something you discover about yourself, buried deep inside. Once you’ve “figured out” your identity, you then announce it to the world. But what if that outlook sets you up for constant friction between your real self and the persona you’ve curated? In today’s video, we build on yesterday’s discussion about denial-based personal identity by exploring what an acceptance-based identity actually looks like—especially when it comes to gender. You’ll meet Ashlyn and Jessie, two people navigating self-expression in radically different ways, but both grounded in truth, reality, and psychological flexibility. We’ll look at how to build a personal identity that is sustainable, creative, and authentic—one that doesn’t require you to cut people off or wage a war against your body. 👋 Welcome to The Metaphor of Gender.
