Why has gender—once a term of analysis and identity—become one of the most explosive political flashpoints of our time? From the halls of the United Nations to state legislatures across the United States, debates over gender and sexuality now shape elections, social movements, and international alliances.

In this live episode of the "Entitled" podcast, hosts Claudia Flores and Tom Ginsburg sit down with Graeme Reid, U.N. Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, and Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and senior research fellow at Yale Law School, to explore how gender has become a global battleground. Together, they’ll unpack the forces driving the backlash — from the rise of nationalist and religious movements to the politics of fear and control — and examine why gender has become a defining priority of the Trump administration and its international allies. Join us for a timely, provocative conversation about the past, present, and future of the global gender wars — and what’s really at stake when societies decide who gets to define gender itself.
