In this episode, we explore the evolving landscape of gender diversity
We take a look at how gender & sexual identities are quickly changing, & how this fast evolution affects individuals, relationships, and society
We inquire about how we, as a pretty average couple, can be an ally to those whose voices need to be heard
We have a long conversation with the multi-pronouned, pan-gendered, and simply awesome Executive Director of a rights-advocacy group for the LGBTQIA+ community
They even teach us what the A stands for!
