"Transsexual" sounds like an old-fashioned term. But it describes a real medical condition in which your brain has the opposite sex from your body. Are transsexuals threatened by newer gender-queer, non-binary theories of sex?
Â
Dr Dana Beyer says so. She's one of the most influential and effective trans activists in history. A medical doctor and self-described transsexual, she's been striding the hallways of power since the 1970s meeting with the likes of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden to achieve landmark wins for LGBT rights. Today, she believes modern gender theory is harming transsexuals like herself.

0:00.0 | Gatay, humans. Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas. Here's a dangerous question for you. |
0:07.7 | What happens if you openly disagree with modern genderqueer, non-binary theories of sex and gender? |
0:19.0 | An even trickier question for you. What happens if you disagree with those |
0:23.0 | theories and you're also a medical doctor? And here's a bigger question for you. What happens |
0:28.4 | if you disagree with those theories and you're also a medical doctor and a transsexual yourself? |
0:34.9 | In fact, one of the most important trans activists in America. |
0:40.2 | Dana Byer is just such a person, one of the most influential and effective trans activists in |
0:45.0 | history. She's a medical doctor. She's a self-described transsexual, which sort of, it hits the |
0:49.8 | ear in a funny way these days, the word transsexual. It sounds a bit old-fashioned, maybe even a bit |
0:56.0 | pejorative. But according to Dr. Bayer, it describes a real medical condition where your brain |
1:03.0 | has the opposite sex from your body and always has, and you've been sure of this from an early |
1:08.6 | age. Dr. Bayer believes this is related to |
1:12.1 | intersex conditions and that intersex and transsexualism should be categorized medically |
1:18.0 | in a way that deserves treatment and compassion, but are distinct from the current mood that we |
1:25.4 | have for assuming that anybody who feels like their gender might be |
1:28.7 | fluid or non-binary has the same essentially seat at the table as traditional transsexuals |
1:34.5 | like herself. She believes that transsexuals are threatened, under threat, harmed by newer |
1:41.5 | genderqueer non-binary theories of sex. She is no stranger to fighting on behalf of |
1:48.4 | trans rights. I mean, she has met with Barack Obama. She's met with Michelle Obama. She's met with |
1:53.4 | Hillary Clinton. She's met with Bernie Sanders. She met with Joe Biden. She's achieved landmark |
1:57.1 | wins for LGBT rights. And today, she has concerns about modern gender theory. |
2:04.5 | I hope you enjoy as much as I did this conversation with the one, the only, Dr. Dana By. |
