Ayn Rand Institute | Evaluating the Trans Movement @AynRandInstitute | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In this episode of New Ideal Live, Onkar Ghate and Mike Mazza discuss why the trans movement is essentially religious and unscientific.
Among the topics covered:
• The religious character of the trans movement;
• Why many of its scientific claims are dishonest;
• How religious conservatives reinforce the movement’s irrationality;
• Why debates about gender have become so contentious;
• How the movement relies on force and smears to advance its agenda;
• Evidence that the movement is uninterested in trans people's well-being;
• Why the science about gender dysphoria is far from settled.
Recommended in this podcast are the previous New Ideal Live episodes on “Kathleen Stock’s Reasoned Critique of Gender Ideology” and “‘What Is a Woman?’ and Gender War Tribalism.”
The podcast was released on August 8, 2024.
