How can we undo the gender binary? ✶ with Devin-Norelle
The gender binary, or the idea that there are only two genders, is at the core of so many issues facing transgender people today. However, Schuyler speaks with the host of PBS' Brave Spaces and trans advocate Devin-Norelle about how this false assumption impacts those who may not believe gender plays a significant role in their life, and how radical self-reflection can help dismantle this societal norm.
