Before

I dive into the controversial subject of gender and add my own

delicious confusion, I must first introduce a new member of our family.

She is a tiny, grey, ball of fluffiness who insisted on belonging to us.

Listen today to hear the story of our sweet Valentina Ren!

After a bit of animal distractions, I bring up an important issue I

have been contemplating since I was a child. Am I a boy or a girl?

Gender is a complex, complicated subject and I am only beginning to

scratch the surface of understanding myself, but I do have a new title

to call myself. Listen to this episode to hear my new name epiphany and

how I am rebelling against societal constraints. Here is the book I am listening to right now and LOVING SO MUCH!! “Gender Outlaw” by Kate Bornstein
