Episode notes
Trans Movement Like Salem Trials
- The transgender movement resembles historical mass moral panics like the Salem Witch Trials.
- Society widely misunderstands sex versus gender and what medical interventions truly change.
No Unified Trans Community
- The "trans community" is actually a mix of distinct groups with differing motivations.
- This mix includes transvestites, autogynephilic men, autistic youth, and traumatized women.
Use Reality-Based Pronouns
- Use pronouns that reflect reality rather than ideologically driven choices.
- Preserve language's role in describing actual sex differences.
