Louie and their cat (a.k.a. "Cat") take you on a journey through the world of gender-without claiming to have it all figured out or knowing the perfect definition for this widely complex subject.

Thats where Rethinking Gender can help- it gives you a toolbox for empathy, understanding, and self-exploration.
