Episode-24: Gender Identity and "Common Sense"
Description
Yes. We are back, at long last.
In this episode, we are going to eviscerate the notion that it's "just common sense" that one can not be any other gender than the one assigned to them at birth, by virtual of certain physical attributes. Trans people and their allies know this to be incorrect, but it is an almost universally held belief amongst most people. There is an easily identified reason for that, and tragically, certain political quarters know this and are exploiting that ignorance to great effect.
Join me as I look at the issue, and start to propose a strategic response.
