Gender Abolition?

Host: Bette (she/her) and Liz (they/them) w/ Special Guest Ludo (he/ze) In this week’s episode, Bette (she/they), Lizard (they/them), and special guest Ludo (he/ze) discuss such thorny concepts as the so-called sex/gender distinction and whether or not gender should be abolished entirely. The conversation touches on sex as a “cluster concept”, social gender vs gender identity, gender as collaboration, gender nihilism, and the implications of the recent Tickle v Giggle ruling for self-ID.
