On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dr. Fellipe do Vale about his book Gender as Love. Gender is a topic of ever-increasing complexity, and that complexity requires a guide who can take us into the weeds with conviction and compassion. Among the topics we discuss:
What it means to pursue a non-reductive account of gender, that takes the body seriously as well as the ways we live socially and culturally. 
Why it is attractive but also problematic to see gender purely as a social construct
Why solidarity and justice requires some sort of gender essentialism
How the category of love can help organize the way that we think about identity, gender, and social goods
Whether disability is an adequate category for dealing with difficulties in gender
On what it might mean to move towards "friendship" with our bodies in the midst of the forces of sin and death
