Reality vs. Trans Ideology | Helen Joyce & Peter Boghossian
Helen Joyce is causing a lot of trouble. YouTube recently removed her conversation with Jordan Peterson (due to vague accusations of “hate speech” and “inciting violence”) and the BBC doesn’t invite her on air anymore. Among her heresies, she is guilty of believing there are two sexes and saying it out loud.
Helen, an Irish journalist, bestselling author, and director of advocacy at Sex Matters, spoke to Peter Boghossian about the differences between men and women. In many arenas, the differences don’t matter, but they are a matter of consequence regarding women’s privacy, vulnerability, and physical competition.
Peter and Helen discuss the definition of sex, why trans men should be allowed in women’s spaces, the tragedy of the commons, fa’afafine, evolution, the “thought-terminating cliché,” the tribal fear of rejection, the cultivation of mental illness, why institutions are losing their North Stars, and much more.

Helen Joyce and Jonathan Haidt are my intellectual crushes. So well spoken. I could listen all day.
Wow. I am in Germany and stayed awake until 2:00 pm. This is amazing. I love Helen and saw nearly every lecture/discussion of her, but your conversation with her its's totally different and SOMETHING ELSE. R-e-s-p-e-c-t!!! 🔝🔝🔝
About religion I had exactly the same conversation with my husband yesterday. I'm watching the series American Gods (based in Neil Gaiman book). It's about a dispute between old gods from different religions and the new ones: technology, media, social media. I am an atheist but I was telling him that I can see in the serie a similarity with WokusDei. At least the old goods in the series are based in reality: Ostera/Spring, Thor/Thunder, Bilquis/Love, etc whether the things woke believe in are total mental and the damage for society is huge. Maybe religion has indeed a structural role in society, and that's why it needs to be integrated as Ken Wilbur says.
Again: CONGRATS Peter!!! 👏👏👏
