For centuries gender roles and allowable expressions of gender have been dictated for boys and girls, men and women, by a rigid binary system of cultural expectations. Now, more than ever, the boundaries of gender are being flexed, experimented with, and outright shattered as we move into a time of greater acceptance for and celebration of individuals who desire to live and express themselves authentically through their gender identity. In this conversation with writer and professor Dr. Emer O'Toole, we talk about the performative aspects of gender, social conditioning, pronouns, and why many parents aren't doing as much as they think they are when it comes to providing a gender liberated environment for their children. We also hear from Lori Mannette, who first appeared in our episode BODIES (Part 2), about her adopted child Charlie, who is intersex, and how they navigate the world of gender in their lives. You can find "The Talk" on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and If you'd like to contribute to the conversation by sharing your story about one of our episode topics, you can do so by sending a voice memo or an email to thetalk@thetalkthepodcast.com. Support the show
