Famous transsexual Buck Angel was kind enough to grace my stage and lay down the truth about his experience of being trans, and trans ideology. The former porn star was born a woman, and now identifies as a man despite not having bottom surgery. Yet, he has a surprising view on trans ideology, and criticises both sides for their lack of nuance in tackling what he calls gender dysphoria. Buck regularly interview people who detrans. That is, they try to turn back the process...here are his concerns.
