About this episode
It is possible to get everything wrong in a perfectly calm voice. Is it true that transgender people had the culture on their side until they pushed too far? Father and daughter, Joe and Rya answer the points one at a time, showing why claims that sound objective can be misleading. You are not wrong to have questions. But this is what it sounds like when the evidence presented gets fact-checked.
The video we respond to is Ken LaCorte's "What Killed the Transgender Movement?" (titled "Why Trans People Lost the Culture" at the time of recording): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9mxEmt4obg
