    Let's 👏 learn👏 This week, Maria is joined by comedian and guest co-host Edson, who brought along their best friend, Chris. Both Edson and Chris are non-binary, gay individuals who use they/them pronouns, and they’re here to share their personal experiences, perspectives, and humor on what it means to exist outside the gender binary. From lighthearted anecdotes about childhood moments to navigating conversations around pronouns, Maria asks the questions we all want to better understand. Edson and Chris break down the fluidity of gender identity, discuss finding authenticity, and explore how evolving language creates safer, more inclusive spaces. Together, they explore the complexities of language, the nuances of pronouns, and how these conversations often play out online versus in real life. Key moments include: Edson reflecting on how dating apps navigate gendered language and the impact it has on identity. Chris discussing the contradictions of centering gender conversations while also acknowledging its constructed nature. Maria sharing her personal experiences around pronouns, including a surprising interaction when signing her child up for piano lessons.
