“For anyone who’s confused: they are trying to confuse you.”

Why does academia pretend that the sex binary isn’t real?
And how do we know it is real?
What happens when we introduce a falsehood into law?
Why are so many young women cheering on the idea of gender identity?
Is feminism to blame for the mess we’re in?

In this special episode of Zsófilter, I talk to Helen Joyce, the author of ""Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality"", which was also translated to Hungarian with the title Transzneműek. Helen has a PhD in mathematics and she is also a journalist. She was a longtime staffer at The Economist, and she is currently working with the campaign group Sex Matters.

We discuss basic facts of biology, queer theory’s capture of academia, the history of transsexualism and the gendered soul as a religious concept and a luxury belief. Helen also explains why it is dangerous to argue for gender identity affirmation by quoting suicide rates and why we desperately need to hang on to women’s sex segregated spaces.

*Helen mistakenly attributed David Reimer's case to Harry Benjamin. It was in fact John Money, not Harry Benjamin.
