Description

In a world where gender rules all, the idea that "male" and "female" are made-up concepts sounds ridiculous at first. But when you take a closer look, masculinity and femininity aren't the straightforward, clear-cut categories that many people perceive them to be. In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Brandon Andrew Robinson, a professor of Queer Studies at the University of California Riverside, about how gender has varied over time and space, what it means for gender to be non-binary, and whether we'd be better off never having invented gender at all.
