What is gender essentialism? Who does it impact? In today’s first installment of Learning From Lesbians, we answer these questions (and more) with the guidance of our close personal friends, Emma and Sarah. Join us for a thoughtful discussion between a straight and a queer couple as we trace modern gender roles back to Pope John Paul II’s “The Theology of the Body,” a series of 129 lectures from 1979 to 1984.
