Faithful Politics REPLAY: "Let's Talk About Sex...ahem...I mean Gender" w/Dr. An Pham
Your Political Host, Will Wright, spent most of the last two weeks in a hospital with his son who had a brain tumor removed. As a result we were unable to record a session for this week. Instead we are replaying some of our favorite episodes that really helped our understanding of some of today's biggest issues.

In the last and final installment of our Pride Month special called, "Be Curious, Not Judgemental", we speak with a doctor who provides gender affirming care for children.
During the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) asked “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?” as she questioned Jackson about a transgender athlete. Depending on where you sit politically will likely determine your level of response to her answer, “Can I provide a definition? No. I can’t,” responded Jackson.
In this episode, we discuss several issues regarding gender that have made their way into mainstream media. To start us off Dr. Pham discusses the important role of providing gender affirming care to children, and dispels some often cited myths about what that care actually includes. We then have a much broader conversation about gender, and how we should view it. Lastly they discuss how transgender issues aren't just a new phenomenon but rather something that has always existed, but is just now getting the attention it deserves.
