BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Gender in the Blender

Bernardine Evaristo reflects on changing attitudes to gender.

Bernardine Evaristo discusses changing attitudes to gender and reflects on whether the non-binary option is something to strive towards.

"If we accept that gender is something imposed on us," writes Bernardine Evaristo, "as opposed to intrinsic to who we are as humans, then what does it matter if people want to switch genders?" 

Bernardine discusses the "gender revolution" and our attitudes to the disruption of traditional gender roles.   

Producer:  Adele Armstrong
