In this episode of Spectrum Street Epistemology, we start with the claim, "Women need to be defended from gender ideology extremism," a stance explicitly outlined in one of President Donald Trump’s Executive Orders.
Can we stop with the word salad, pseudo science, extreme examples of genetic mutations and philosophical discussions about sex. A woman is someone who has a vagina, womb, ovaries, breast that can feed babies. She can get pregnant and have an abortion. A man has a penis and testes. Women and men are immutable biological beings. We aren’t a passing fancy. All this other stuff is what’s inside a trojan horse, the gift of “kindness” and “love your fellow human”. The question is who built the horse and why. Is it a deep need for anarchy. And isn’t anarchy a form of narcissism. Boundaries protect vulnerable people, the lack of destroys.
I refuse to watch "Destiny" until he watches Behind the Looking Glass (Lime Soda Films YT channel, documentary on trans widows) and has my data now with 68 trans widows' replies to The Heggen Survey. Here's trans widow #67. Since "Destiny" was a strong proponent of polyamory, and lost his wife to a Viking type dude, I imagine he knows what trans widow #67 brings up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPvkZqkaq14&t=128s
I know. He already gave up his wife to some Swede, if memory serves. I don't get why he gets invites to all these channels, outside of perhaps his large gamer following and the clickbait from same. Thanks, Steve.
I like to think he gets invited for interviews because people like to watch him get humiliated and he is persistently delusional enough to think he won’t. 😜
It troubles me that no one questioned the young person who made the claim that MRIs showed the variations within the brains of those who are trans.
As someone with ADHD, I am well aware of 3 dimensional live MRI imaging that can map the neural pathways in the brains of those of us with ADHD. Moreover, one can see the dopamine neurotransmitters enervated when amphetamine based medications such as Adderal are administered.
I suspect that there is an outsized number of undiagnosed children with ADHD or those who are functionally autistic ... that are impressionable and highly vulnerable to the brainwashing of the demented prognosticators of Identity on Tik Tok and other social media platforms.
There is enough ADHD denialism as it is, without Identity sowing even more confusion with their typical distortions of reality.
In a surprising twist, I actually don't completely disagree with Steven's take here. This debate does tend to get caught in a loop, where both sides are claiming science and truth. And although I believe that to be important I can also see that it does bog down the discussions. When the real issues are social rather than philosophical or I guess you could say the social is where the rubber meets the road.
There is also a pattern where it seems people are more interested in insulting and demeaning others than engaging with and coming to some type of constructive understanding. Why are we so focused on pulling down rather than building up?

I've watched a number of debate Destiny. All I can say to him is "Don't Give Up Your Day Job."
