What does it really mean when someone says “trans women are women” or “trans men are men” without throwing biology under the bus? This episode dives into how Mystrikism answers that question in a way that keeps both truth and compassion switched on at the same time.

We unpack four different layers hiding inside the words “man” and “woman”:

• Biological sex (developmental pathways, gametes, bodies),

• Gender identity (how a person experiences themselves from the inside),

• Social role (how they’re seen and treated in everyday life), and

• Legal category (what the forms, laws, and institutions do with all of that).

From there, the episode explains why Mystrikism insists that sex is a real, largely stable biological fact, and why gender identity and social recognition still matter enormously for mental health, well-being, and basic dignity. It looks at where biology has to stay on the table (sport, medicine, safeguarding, some areas of law), and where it is more ethical and rational to give gender identity extra weight (name and marker changes, everyday social life, anti-discrimination, basic respect).

We also talk about deception, consent, and harm: why simply being trans or gender-nonconforming is not “lying,” why hiding crucial facts in intimate or high-risk contexts is wrong no matter who you are, and why weaponising biology to bully or exclude is a moral failure.

If you’re tired of the culture war shouting match and want a naturalistic, non-supernatural, “spiritual” framework that treats both biology and human dignity as non-negotiable, this is a slow, careful walk through what Mystrikism means by “man” and “woman” — and why that nuance matters in the real world.
