He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters With Schuyler Bailar


Listen Later

One of the most controversial topics today is the issue of gender and the related matters of identity, language and law.

Schuyler Bailar's story of becoming the first openly transgender athlete to compete on an NCAA Division 1 team in any sport appeared everywhere from "60 Minutes" to "The Ellen Show" to The Washington Post. In an effort to explain the issues surrounding gender identity and how it's discussed, Bailar has written He/She/They. His approach is to use storytelling and the art of conversation to give us the fundamental language and context of gender so that we can meet people where they are and pave the way to understanding, acceptance, and inclusion. 

Join us for an in-depth talk about the issues driving laws  in dozens of states and being discussed across the country.
