Jala is joined by Briar and Zombi to talk about how gender identity affects everyone and why it is significant, as well as discussing how we engage with masculinity. This is a continuation of the performance of identity themes of prior topical episodes.

NOTE: Briar was supposed to be on this episode but due to internet troubles, created a blog post instead for their part of the episode. Please be sure to check out their post here: Briar Engages With Masculinity!
