Trans Activist Emotional Blackmail, Silencing Women, and Redefining Words to Win Arguments, with Helen Joyce | Ep. 590

Jul 19, 2023
Helen Joyce, a journalist and author of "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality," discusses the critical impact of transgender activism on women's rights. She explores how activists redefine language to silence women’s safety concerns and the risks posed by allowing men into women’s spaces. Joyce also critiques social media censorship, raises alarms about the medicalization of children, and addresses the complexities of autogynephilia. Through this lens, she highlights the emotional blackmail surrounding 'gender-affirming care' and the ongoing debate on trans athletes in women's sports.
