Transgenderism and Neuroscience (with Steven Willing)

Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith & Culture

What is the contribution of the neurosciences to our understanding of gender? How does the study of the brain help us understand transgenderism? How, if at all, are male and female brains different? And would it be possible to have a male brain in a female body? We’ll answer these questions and more with our guest, Dr. Stephen Willing.
