Reality vs. Trans Ideology | Peter Boghossian & Helen Joyce

Helen Joyce is causing a lot of trouble. YouTube recently removed her conversation with Jordan Peterson (due to vague accusations of “hate speech” and “inciting violence”) and the BBC doesn’t invite her on air anymore. Among her heresies, she is guilty of believing there are two sexes and saying it out loud. Helen, an Irish journalist, bestselling author, and director of advocacy at Sex Matters, spoke to Peter Boghossian about the differences between men and women. In many arenas, the differences don’t matter, but they are a matter of consequence regarding women’s privacy, vulnerability, and physical competition. Peter and Helen discuss the definition of sex, why trans men should be allowed in women’s spaces, the tragedy of the commons, fa’afafine, evolution, the “thought-terminating cliché,” the tribal fear of rejection, the cultivation of mental illness, why institutions are losing their North Stars, and much more. “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality“ by Helen Joyce: Helen’s website: Censored video of Helen & Jordan Peterson: Twitter: Sex Matters: Chapters 0:00 Intro 1:00 Helen’s views on transgenderism 7:45 “Transphobia“ 9:45 Discussing the beliefs around “changing sex“ 20:20 Trans women in women’s sports 23:30 The cost of speaking out 28:00 Was the New Atheist movement wrong? 31:20 How people believe obviously wrong things 39:15 Society is encouraging mental health crises 42:35 Is trans a culture-bound syndrome? 47:13 Why people can’t engage a simple claim 57:04 Helen and Peter react to a pro-trans clip 1:03:35 Conversation wrap up ⸺SUPPORT MY WORK⸺ Newsletter | Donate | ⸺LINKS⸺ Podcast: “Conversations with Peter Boghossian“: Website | National Progress Alliance | Resignation Letter | ⸺BOOKS⸺ “How To Have Impossible Conversations” | =cm_sw_r_api_i_7DPKY2S21SSNAV8PCBW3_0 “A Manual For Creating Atheists” | =tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1664805100&sr=1-2 ⸺SOCIAL MEDIA⸺ Twitter | Instagram | TikTok | @peterboghossian All Socials | __________ #peterboghossian #transgender #transwomen
