Gender Identity Weekly

In this episode, I have a great conversation with Mona Lazar, an artist, writer, and relationship coach.  Mona and I contemplate finding reflection in a relationship, why social roles must change for humanity to survive, and how filled doughnuts probably roll downhill better than those with holes in the middle.
