*** Orenstein's book uses very gender binaric language, but I want to be 100% clear that the phenomenons and effects discussed in her book and in this episode are not limited to antiquated definitions of gender. This is an inclusive space and if there's anything I can do to make it more inclusive PLEASE let me know.
