My guest today is Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, and the author of the 2021 book 'Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality.' We spoke today about fan fiction, a topic that Helen has been researching for many years. Why are so many girls and young women obsessed with fanfic? Why does it so often feature romantic relationships between men? And why has it become much more sexually explicit in recent years?
In the extended part of the episode we spoke about the impact that fanfic is having on our sexual culture and its role in encouraging young women to identify as trans or non-binary.
