Comedian Arielle Isaac Norman returns to the show and she and Bridget have a frank conversation about gender, gender dynamics, gender politics, and balancing female rights with trans rights. They cover refusing to dogmatically fall in line with the orthodoxy of whatever the LGBTQ community is saying, when the narrative really started shifting from gender dysphoria to a denial of biologic reality, how the trans community was essentially written a blank check by all the good liberals and what they did with it, no longer being able to have open discussions about difficult topics, the importance of protecting women and female spaces, the importance of being kind and respectful but still being able to ask questions, and when the trans movement really started to feel like a cult. They also discuss the oppression hierarchy, the realities of taking hormones, the Austin comedy scene, getting in touch with their emotions, and why it’s so important for people to be honest with their opinions about gender at this point. Don't miss Arielle's new comedy special Ellen DeGenderless premiering April 4th on YouTube.

She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all.
