Mormon Discussion Podcast Mormon Discussion: 318: Crystal Scott – Genetics of Sex and Gender
At the 2018 Sandy Utah Sunstone Symposium I sat in a session about the genetics of Sex and Gender. The presenter was Crystal Scott, a is a embryologist. Crystal got her start at the University of Virginia. She works in the industry creating high-value babies and teaching genetics at Boise State University. Today we spend time diving into these complexities and how understanding that Sex and Gender are not understood in Binary ways requires us to hold space for the possibility that Truth may not be congruent with our Theology and Doctrine. If we find that to be true should we impose our Theology and Doctrine anyway or are we required to make space for additional truth. Especially if said false Theology and Doctrine hurts and harms others. Can you listen today with a soft heart. Can you hold space for those who are different. Can make room to be wrong. All that and more on today’s episode of Mormon Discussion.
