Male, Female, Other?
6 Week Series
Wednesdays beginning January 15th
Join us for this 6 week series following Jason Evert's Male, Female, Other?
What is gender?
Few words today generate as much controversy as “gender.”
Students, parents, and educators are asking:
-
How many genders are there?
-
What if my daughter says she’s trans?
-
Do some people have an intersex brain?
-
Should I use their preferred pronouns?
-
Is gender a social construct?
-
Does surgery prevent suicide?
-
Are puberty blockers safe?
-
What if I experience gender dysphoria?
In Male, Female, Other? Jason Evert addresses the most common claims of gender theory and shows how to respond with charity and clarity.

We only leave our rooms to use the bathroom. Father will bring us all back to the chapel for Mass at 6:30 pm on Saturday. Afterward, we will enjoy a meal together and share about the retreat.
