Hello it's another episode of Heretics and today well this was part of my tour a big tour well it was just a trip to New York

Dissident Dialogue that's the event at which I spoke organized by Winston New York dissident dialogues.

That's the event at which I spoke,

organized by Winston Marshall previously of Mumford and Sons.

And I managed to secure a studio

where I interviewed quite a few guests, many of whom were of the American variety.

But this particular guest, although she appears to live in the continent of North America, British and that is Mia Hughes, who is a researcher,

a researcher for environmental progress, but also famously or infamously, depending on what side of the, what would you call

it, the culture wars that you're on, she is the author of the W-path files.

So she is the person who managed to sort of put together a lot of these files around

doctors who were giving surgeries and things to children to young girls and things,

fully in the knowledge that this was not going to help them

or it might not help them

and that these children didn't fully understand

what they were going for and

that this was not going to be reversible. It was a really incredible and

scary release of files and documents and some great journalism. This is what

journalism is for. So Mia's brilliant on that and she also, I know I've done quite a few episodes on gender and things like that before, but there's a lot in here that I've not previously covered and she's really good about it and we talk really

about whether transgenderism is a mental health issue in which case could it be

described as a mental illness I know a lot of people will find that

offensive but a thing is a thing is a thing you know and she believes very

strongly and has a very good case for why that might be and how we really should be treating people
