Episode 80: Gender Fluidity or Complementarity? (Part Four)

Being Human

Welcome to Episode 80 of the Being Human Podcast: Gender Fluidity or Complementarity? (Part Four)

One last episode to wrap up our series on gender and complementarity! This week, Dr. Greg addresses some of the questions and feedback received from earlier episodes in the series, and dives deeper into how we can understand “gender fluidity” from a Catholic perspective.

Discussed in this episode:

• Addressing feedback and questions from the first three episodes in this series;
• How words have meaning and why it’s important to continue using specific words even if they have been hijacked by the culture;
• The hierarchy of the gift of self and our calling to be gift to all in our lives;
• The importance of Christ being born into a family with both a mother and a father and its implications for us;
• How we are influenced and formed through the gifts of others;
• Why we need to be formed by both a same-sex and opposite-sex parent in order to become the best version of ourselves.
