How does recognizing that there are people who don't fit binary gender identities change our understanding of ourselves, one another, and God? In this talk, Joy Ladin will present selections from two newly published books – Once Out of Nature, a selection of writings about how gender is changing, and Family, her eleventh, most intimate collection of poetry – that highlight what living between and beyond gender categories can teach us about becoming, loving, losing, mourning and otherwise being human.
