The Gender Binary is a Big Lie

from Skeptical Thinker · host Jamie and Leah - Father and Daughter team of skepticists

After a summer hiatus, Leah and Jamie are back with a discussion of Lee Wind's excellent book, "The Gender Binary is a Big Lie." While we both start talking about the book, we end up in some interesting personal stories and repartee about gender. For those listening who are not sure how to feel about those of us who are outside the gender binary, you may find this discussion interesting. We've added some resources here for you in case you want more. Thanks for listening! Resources: Gender & Sexuality Resources UC Santa Barbara Kirkus Review of Book This is an awesome resource for anyone who has a loved one going through gender transition/questioning. We talked about Gender Euphoria near the end. This resource is good. Citation: Wind, L. (2023). The Gender Binary is a Big Lie: Infinite Identities and Expressions.
