Jason Kuznicki joins the show to talk about the politics of gender \& sexual identity.

## Shownotes:

Jason Kuznicki describes two common theories of gender, both of which have viable critiques. He goes on to describe a theory of gender that is neither essentialist nor constructivist, but something else entirely – a liberal and individualist account of gender.
