Socrates and the Gender Debate

How Gender Ideology Fails the Test of Common Sense

By: Andrew Duncan

Narrated by: Laura Dexter

All but 0.0182% of the human race is unequivocally male or female. Yet that distinction is irrelevant in determining who we are attracted to, our public persona or what we can achieve. The last few decades have seen a welcome increase in tolerance, close to the liberal ideal of ‘do what you want as long as you do no harm’.
Then came Gender Ideology.
It states that how one feels is critical, not the hand nature has dealt. We have each been given an impeccable sense of self, but possibly the wrong body parts.
Under the hashtag #BeKind, trans activists now argue that women’s prisons, rape crisis centres, women’s changing facilities and female sport should be open to anyone who says ‘I am a woman’. Worse, it encourages children to question their gender and medicate if they do not conform to outdated stereotypes.
Socrates demanded that one rationally explain one’s ideas and beliefs. The Trans Lobby prefers ‘no debate’. Its arguments are weak and often contradictory.
Gender Ideology fails the test of common sense.

Intelligent Commentary on a Difficult Subject

This is an incredibly well-written book; the author has clearly done extensive research and makes excellent arguments.  It is very accessible and takes a 'no nonsense' approach to a tricky subject that many of us find hard to understand. I believe it would also help those who are confused about their gender, many of whom are all too often prey to political and/or financial manipulation. Wonderfully narrated too.
