I speak to Helen about the fast-developing topic of Transgenderism. About self-identification, trans medicine from John Money to the tragic case of David Reimer, how the UK ended up as TERF island, Trans Widows, Autogynephilia & the work of Ray Blanchard, gender as performance and *essential quality of the soul*, the huge difference between mtf and ftm transgender, and how liberal individualism & transhumanism play into this new booming field of identity.
