0:00.0 | I'm |
0:02.0 | You know, I'm going to be able to be. Welcome to another episode, the third episode of Overton Windows, a podcast where we discuss the shifting range of quote-unquote acceptable discourse on a given topic. Today, our topic is, God help us, the transgender debate. |
0:01.0 | Bob, welcome. What made you want to choose such a |
0:53.7 | self-destructive avenue of discussion? I don't recall expressing any preference for this topic at all. |
0:57.8 | This sounds like somebody younger than me would cook up. Yes, and I am younger than you. That's one of the |
1:04.9 | reasons I like to do |
1:10.5 | this podcast, because Dave always makes fun of me for being just a tiny bit older than he is. |
1:11.2 | But now I get to be the young buck, the strapping young man on this podcast, which, where can |

1:52.7 | Palestine, the second one we did on the UFOs. |
1:59.9 | And can I say as long as you're getting into that kind of promotional detail, the way at my |
2:03.6 | end to get access to the whole thing, including the part behind the paywall, is to become a paid |
2:08.4 | subscriber of the non-zero newsletter on substack. So either way, if they, if they funnel cash toward either of us. |
2:12.4 | Yeah, or both. They get full access or both. We don't discourage that. We don't at all. Yeah. |
2:22.6 | All right. Transgender rights, transgender issues, a lot of bills and laws that are being passed in Republican legislatures. |
2:27.1 | I don't know. How do you want to start this? Should we talk about just a little bit of the history of |
2:39.1 | the Overton window on this topic, you know, maybe pre-2012 or something like that. |
