Hello and we are going to discuss and debate gender.

Our discussion and debate is going to have three sections.

Section number one is the concept of gender useful.

Section number two is transgenderism based on reason.

Section number three, what to do when kids say they're trans.

Thank you very much for agreeing to do this. No, thank you and we obviously

have to have these kinds of debates behind the paywall because this is like YouTube don't really allow us to have these

conversations, but I think they are very important, especially with the third topic you

proposed because there is a, as Lisa Littem has written, social contagion sweeping through

civilization at the moment moment claiming the lives and fertility, future

fertility of thousands of children.

There's been a 4,400% increase in adolescent, particularly autistic and abused young girls signing

on to rapid onset gender dysphoria and they are being misled by all of our core institutions and I think much like the

grooming gangs if a civilization cannot protect its children what is the purpose of

said civilization so it's's a really important conversation.

Thank you. I want to say something that you're way more versed into the topic than I am.

I have specialised, let's sayised in other discussions and I want to say that as far as I'm concerned I was in

academia and I started hearing people saying things like that and I couldn't understand why they would think this way.

So in your experience within the academy, was it the very postmodern line that, as Judith Butler has asserted, gender is a kind of performance,

its social construct, we can opt in to one or the other or opt out entirely as me so please and any imposition of

biological constraints on people is a form of oppression. Is that the kind of vibe?

There wasn't a main line
