In this conversation, Matt Ntiros and Ryan Modisette talk with Timothy Fortin about the complexities of sexual difference and gender from philosophical, biological, and theological perspectives. He explores the historical context of these concepts, particularly through the lenses of Thomas Aquinas and Simone de Beauvoir, while also addressing contemporary views on gender identity. The discussion delves into the evolutionary basis for sexual difference and its implications for understanding masculinity and femininity, ultimately connecting these ideas to a broader theological framework.
