We have been listening to the podcasts. In bending over backwards to show both sides, you interviewed a 16 year old transgender individual. I’m sorry, but while articulate for his/her age, a 16 year old simply doesn’t have the life experience to weigh in comprehensively on a subject like this. Furthermore, his/her response to Rowling’s concerns about the risks to women and girls was basically to say “you’re attacking us.” Couldn’t you find an experienced, adult transvestite who better understood the nuances and spectrum of human behaviors, such as that exhibited by Rowling herself?
You make a good point. It would have been helpful to hear from a transsexual adult, a person who transitioned years before the term became "transgender." Transsexuals don't relate to the concept of gender. They know that biological sex is real, and they know which sex they are. They view their gender dysphoria as a medical condition that was addressed through medical means. The ones I've heard speak on this issue, such as Buck Angel, Corinna Cohn, Miranda Yardley and Blaire White, oppose the transitioning of children and support women's right to safe spaces in prisons and the level playing field in sports.
But I also think there's value in hearing from today's indoctrinated 16 year-old transgender person. This person represents hundreds of thousands of people in that age category, and it's instructive to hear what they believe and how they view the world. They live in an altered universe, in more ways than one. They are much more numerous than reality-based transsexuals and will have a much bigger influence on gender policies going forward, including eradicating women as a class and transitioning children at as young an age as possible.
You're right. These young people, while perhaps inexperienced, are a huge cohort of human beings, and many might say Noah represents their viewpoint. Their community is more digital than tactile. I don't know what society will look like 100 years from now when/if that becomes the predominate form of human interaction.
Sea. Your interaction with Beeswax is one of the reasons I love this substack. You both made points and were respectful of each other's opinions. Thank you both.
Thanks Awilson. I am impressed with the caliber of exchange on this site as well. Would that respectful dialogue were more common throughout our society.

Sadly, Tim Curry is no longer with us.
the hell it is
Love to hear from Frankenfurter
He’s still alive, according to Wikipedia.
So he is. I feel for the "death hoax" last year. Whelp - now I'm wondering about Lou Reed ...
