Broad spectrum of the gender spectrum

I’ve been looking for multi-cultural gender conversations that are factual and emotionally charged…this one is perfect. Hearing from scholars from around the world helps put into perspective and also makes us see that we share certain experiences as a human culture that we will forever need to expand on. Thank you for this podcast!
