Episode 152: Towards a New Revolution of Gender Truth

Being Human

Welcome to Episode 152 of the Being Human Podcast: Towards a New Revolution of Gender Truth

What are some ways that transgenderism develops? Why is it important to our human development to have both a mom and a dad? How can we understand the equality of men and women while recognizing the presence of differences? In this week’s episode, Dr. Greg answers these questions while breaking open how the current gender crisis provides an opportunity to discover on a deeper level the glory of God shining through our being made as male and female.

Discussed in the episode:

• What Saint Thomas Aquinas got wrong about men and women;

• How St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body gave the Church a positive path forward on issues related to family, marriage, and human sexuality;

• The need for a compassionate yet truthful approach to the gender crisis;

• Why children need a model of healthy masculinity and femininity from their parents;

• Why we are called to be integrated beings and to develop both masculine and feminine characteristics;

• What the case of Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner can teach us about underlying trauma in gender confusion;

• Why we need to go beyond gender stereotypes when defining what constitutes a man or a woman;

• Proposing “gender integration” as the solution to the gender crisis.
