E3: Gender is a Social Construct

This one's intense. In this episode, I take a deep dive into the science behind gender identity, including evidence about gender identity having a genetic component (meaning we weren't simply "raised wrong"!). I try to break down the obsession our society has with gender roles & rules and assert that GENDER IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT.
