As part of the Pride Month Series, we discuss the restrictive nature of gender binary. It is an idea of categorization where there are only two genders, male and female, which simply doesn't reflect the rich tapestry of human experiences and especially for queer communities. in this episode, Dr. Nadia Alsamadi explores with listeners the ideas of putting into practice going beyond the gender binary.
