Summary

From host Kai Wright and the team that brought you Caught, The Stakes is a new show about what's not working in our society, how we can do better and why we have to. In this episode, hear from Kristin, a gender fluid, pansexual 21-year-old. She takes Kai into her online and IRL world of cartoon cats in crop tops, Instagram icons and friends who see gender as just another construct. Along the way, she engages Kai and others in an intergenerational queer conversation about the meaning of labels and categories for youth today and whether they’re necessary to create and claim political and social space in the LGBTQ community. Radio Rookies is supported in part by the Margaret Neubart Foundation and The Pinkerton Foundation.

1:31.3	So what does that mean?
1:35.8	Mostly like, you know, I can be anything. I can be a boy or a girl or things that are in between or, you know, vastly out of the realm of the binary. My gender is fluid. It moves with
1:40.6	the wind.
1:41.3	And is that an internal thing, like something that's going on inside you, or is it an external thing about what you present to the world?
