Join us for this 7 week series following Jason Evert's Male, Female, Other? What is gender? Few words today generate as much controversy as “gender.” Students, parents, and educators are asking: How many genders are there? What if my daughter says she’s trans? Do some people have an intersex brain? Should I use their preferred pronouns? Is gender a social construct? Does surgery prevent suicide? Are puberty blockers safe? What if I experience gender dysphoria? In Male, Female, Other? Jason Evert addresses the most common claims of gender theory and shows how to respond with charity and clarity.
