Episode notes
Sex And Safety Are Distinct
- Helen Joyce argues a transgender woman is a man who says he's a woman and remains male in biology.
- She asserts women-only spaces must exclude men regardless of self-identification to protect safety.
Prison Policy Predicts Risk
- Joyce highlights male-pattern criminality makes placing males in women's prisons predictable and dangerous.
- She warns that even one man moved into women's prisons increases risk because men commit most sexual violence.
Identity As A New Creed
- Joyce frames gender identity ideology as a new, quasi-religious worldview that elevates self-declared identity above biological facts.
- She says this worldview makes denying someone's declared identity feel like vilification to its adherents.
