Gender Identity Weekly

Today's episode features David Beckemeyer discussing tribal identity and the outrage it brings.  David is a bridge-builder and host of the "Outrage Overload" podcast.  David and I consider topics as far afield as social media detox, street epistemology, and libraries lousy with drag queens.
