Summary
Our culture has launched an all out assault on the very idea of what it means to be human and it all comes down to identity. Phoenix Hayes, who is the creative director for Cross Examined, joins the podcast to share about her research into this topic. We also chat about how she talks to her kids about gender, and why she is totally fed up with Target.
