Stolar especially tried to build a fire wall between sex which he then considered to be everything that biology had to do with the world and gender which was everything culture and psychology and upbringing had to do with the world but what's pretty clear when you really dig into the biology is that gender is always changing the biology.

Hello and welcome to the psychology podcast the following episode is part of the making sense of sex and gender series on this podcast.

In this series we try to make sense of the distinction between sex and gender and cover trans issues in a very thoughtful and nuanced fashion.

We have balanced discussions from multiple perspectives including scientists, activists and a leading feminism scholar.

This series will hopefully expand your mind and help you make sense of the current heated debates surrounding the distinctions between sex and gender as well as transgender issues.

The aim is to turn down the temperature on this very heated topic and increase understanding and integrate truth with love.

I hope you will listen to this entire series with an open mind and an open heart and as always we look forward to hearing your feedback and comments on our website and on the YouTube channel.

So that further do I bring you this episode within the making sense of sex and gender series.

Hello and welcome to the psychology podcast today we welcome doctor and Falsto sterling on the show.

Doctor Falsto sterling is the Nancy Duke Lewis professor emerita of biology and gender studies in the department of molecular and cell biology and biochemistry at Brown University say that 10 times real fast.

Her books and scholarly articles are referenced widely in feminist and scientific inquiries.

She has received grants and fellowships in both the sciences and the humanities and in 2020 she re-released her book called Sexing the Body, gender politics and the construction of sexuality with updated research.

In this episode I talked to doctor Falsto sterling about gender slash sex and the body.

During the 60s the term quote gender was introduced to make a distinction between a person's biology and psychology.

But doctor Falsto sterling believes that these can never really be separate.

She argues that biology in foods is gender but that the opposite is also true.

Culture and context can influence our hormones and body systems.

We also touch on the topics of gender dysphoria, feminism, intersectionality, trans issues and child development.

This is a really stimulating conversation with a legend in the feminist scholarly space.

I really like how doctor Falsto sterling brings in the science and tries to integrate that with the work she does in terms of feminism scholarship.

So this was a great integration of multiple fields and I hope you find this conversation as rich and stimulating as I did.

So that further ado I bring you doctor and Falsto sterling.
