Beyond Binary: Envisioning Balance, Celebrating Pride
This episode explores the binary – or better yet, the lack thereof – when it comes to sexual and gender identity.
Celebrating PRIDE and the activist spirit of transgender entrepreneur, community leader, and family man Nat Stratton-Clarke, this special interview weaves in perspectives from social science and biology to support the life-affirming power of a gender spectrum... one on which we all have a unique and important place.
Be sure to visit the Episode Page at www.thebrainandbeyond.com/episodes/11 for resources about Nat and from Lucy Cooke, Dr. Riane Eisler, and others whose work is referenced in this episode.
Explore, enjoy, and challenge that binary, wherever it puts any of us into too small of a box.
