This institution doesn't appear to be affiliated with any US diocese or Catholic order, and the founder and several of the "teaching fellows" are fairly political; you can read a bunch of their stuff on https://newpolity.com/. This is a somewhat weird species of "Catholic" philosophy that departs in a bunch of ways from Catholicism as practiced at parishes around, say, Chicago.

I'd be a little wary.

The "Minimalism and the non-binary body" is an example of how a text can be written with eloquence but be just as demented as GG Allin lyric.

Why do you think the parishes around Chicago are normative for Catholicism? The impression I get when I hear about it is that things are pretty bad there. On the other hand, a lot of young Catholics that I know listen to shows like New Polity.

Bad where? I bring up Chicago because (a) I live here, (b) grew up Catholic here (c) am now Catholic here, (d) it's one of the largest cities in the country, and (e) it's famously a bastion of US Catholicism.
