Podcaster Andrew Gold debates trans person Katy Jon Went about trans activism, changing rooms, sports and autogynephilia (AGP). The pair have a fun and interesting discussion, and occasionally disagree. #gendercritical #transdebate #debate  

IMPORTANT: Despite our differences, I think Katy is very reasonable, and was courageous and transparent enough to travel to meet me, give up an afternoon and debate/inform me. Whether Katy is a he, she, or they, Katy is certainly not an 'it'. Remember the human in your comments, and use logic and reason WITHOUT ad-hominem attacks on Katy's person.

372. I Tell Trans Person A Very Difficult TRUTH (Heated!) - Katy Jon Went

What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.

Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to ex-Hasidic Jew Julia Haart and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.
