"Mother Nature is a TERF" | Helen Joyce & Peter Boghossian

About this episode

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.
