Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. So continuing my UK theme,

today's guest is Kathleen Stock.

Kathleen's a philosopher and a writer, and she was a philosophy professor at the University of Sussex for many years,

until she was stampeded out of her job by a mob of angry students.

As you'll hear in this episode, Kathleen's main offense was her views on trans issues, which are broadly

aligned with people like J.K. Rowling and Helen Joyce. And for these critiques of trans

activist's ideology, she was more or less run out of her university. Now, Kathleen's story

didn't make as many headlines in America as it should have, but it's really one of the most

egregious examples of cancel culture since Brett Weinstein's debacle at Evergreen.

And though Kathleen and I don't agree on everything, as you'll see, I think the treatment

she's received has been shameful. In any event, we discuss all of that here. We talk about the conceptual distinction between sex and gender, and we talk about whether you should respect people's preferred pronouns. And I think there's some distance between Kathleen and me on those two topics. But we also talk about the conflict between trans rights and female rights.

We talk about what to do with female-only spaces, such as locker rooms, bathrooms, women's sports, and prisons.

We talk about what to do with children who self-identify as trans.

We talk about puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgical transitions.
