Gender and Authenticity

Time to get cancelled! What is gender? Who is this lipstick-wearing person and what do they mean when they say they're “genderqueer”? What do they mean by “authentic gender expression”? What is gender dysphoria? What about gender euphoria? Is biology destiny? Can we even talk about biology without the noise of culture entering into the science? What is this delicious recipe for roast tomato ragu? Joined by Ireland's best trans, non-binary and gender-fluid comics, we embark on a journey through time and space to examine gender and probably get ourselves cancelled so damn hard!

We didn’t have any and we’re not making superfluous trips to any store right now because lockdown - but fresh basil really elevates this dish) Add a generous slug of red wine Take out your roast tomatoes and garlic Dice the garlic Combine roast and fried ingredients Use a peeler to create beautiful slivers of vegan parmesan (where available) Did you remember to cook pasta? We were testing you here; you really should have done that. Assemble like you’re Tony Stark Crack a little dried oregano on top More fresh basil wouldn’t go astray here either.
