We’re back! An episode long overdue, aimed at deconstructing the gender binaries produced by our society.

If it’s all an illusion, then it means we can break out of it? Right? “Le cout de la virilité” Lucille Peytavin; “No validation masculine” Emma Barrabi; "Pas mes fils- Injustice" Julie Gavras (a Louie Media podcast).
