He explores how to lovingly address and walk with loved ones facing gender identity challenges while staying rooted in truth.   Mary Lou - Doctors are worried about the people who are lying about their gender.

Yascha Mounk and Helen Joyce discuss the evidence base for the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in young people. Helen Joyce is an Irish journalist and the Director of Advocacy at Sex Matters. She is the author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Helen Joyce discuss the findings of an independent review by Hilary Cass of gender identity services for children and young people in the United Kingdom; how government and public health institutions in the UK have come to take a more skeptical view of gender-affirming care for young people than in the US; and the need for a more thoughtful and nuanced approach to trans issues which considers the rights and safety of all individuals involved.

Peter Boghossian engages author Dr. Helen Joyce and professor Dr. Eric Kaufmann in Spectrum Street Epistemology. The discussion deals with gender ideology. The claims explore questions such as, "Anyone who conforms to the social construct of woman is a woman" and "If a child says they're trans at school a parent should be notified." The conversation broadened to whether gender ideology could be thought of as transcendental or quasi-religious, and the pair discussed some of the philosophical and religious underpinnings of this movement. At one point, Helen is asked to take the position of a pro-gender-affirming person, and she takes the opportunity to explain the various justifications that individuals use to support that position. Helen and Eric strongly disagree on whether it is possible to be confused about one's gender identity, and they attempt to guess the other's reasoning behind their position. Dr. Helen Joyce is a journalist, Director of Advocacy for Sex Matters, and author of "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality." Her writing has appeared in The Daily Mail, The Evening Standard, The Times, And Critic Magazine. Helen's previous interview on Peter's channelHelen's website Helen on X Dr. Eric Kaufmann is a Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham.

In today's episode I talk to Helen Joyce, the author of "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality", which was also translated to Hungarian (titled Transzneműek). We discuss basic facts of biology, queer theory's capture of academia, the history of transsexualism and the gendered soul as a religious concept and a luxury belief. Helen also explains why it is dangerous to argue for gender identity affirmation by quoting suicide rates and why we desperately need to hang on to women's sex segregated spaces.Helen has a PhD in mathematics and she is also a journalist. She was a long-time staffer at The Economist, and she is currently working with the campaign group Sex Matters.Find out more about Sex Matters:​​https://sex-matters.orgHelen's book in Hungarian (Transzneműek):https://www.libri.hu/konyv/helen_joyce.transznemuek.htmlThis podcast is hosted by Partizán, an independent Hungarian online media channel, please support our work through Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/partizanpolitika

About Helen I'm a journalist: between 2005 and 2022 I was a staff writer for The Economist, where I held a variety of jobs including education editor, Brazil correspondent (based in São Paulo), International editor, Finance editor and Britain editor. I'm also an author: my first book, “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality”, was published by OneWorld in July 2021. It was reissued in 2023 under a new title: “Trans: Gender Identity and the New Battle for Women's Rights”. And I'm a feminist campaigner: in early 2022 I took a leave of absence from The Economist to work with start-up human-rights organisation Sex Matters, which campaigns for clarity about the two sexes, male and female, in law and in life. In early 2023 I decided to continue with my campaigning work rather than return to The Economist. “Trans” was an immediate bestseller and named by the Times, Spectator and Observer as one of their books of 2021. The paperback came out on May 5th 2022. It includes an entirely new foreword and afterword. An audiobook edition is also available, read by me.

Helen Joyce, author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, sits down with Bridget for an in-depth conversation about the trans activist movement, what inspired her to write the book, what's changed since the book came out in 2021, the bullshit idea that everything can be blamed on feminism, the detransitioners she's met, and how the trans movement is sending women's rights back to the dark ages. They discuss the sense that women have been abandoned in the culture wars, queer theory, the rise of conspiratorial thinking, how much faith she used to have in the institutions of our society and why she no longer trusts them, the definition of a moral injury, how gender ideology breaks things in exactly the place they're meant to work, being told that it's a civil right to choose your gender, why she feels she's doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing, and why you should never validate the delusion because you will lose control of the ward.Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn't conduct interviews—she has conversations.

Helen Joyce is causing a lot of trouble. YouTube recently removed her conversation with Jordan Peterson (due to vague accusations of “hate speech” and “inciting violence”) and the BBC doesn't invite her on air anymore. Among her heresies, she is guilty of believing there are two sexes and saying it out loud.Helen, an Irish journalist, bestselling author, and director of advocacy at Sex Matters, spoke to Peter Boghossian about the differences between men and women. In many arenas, the differences don't matter, but they are a matter of consequence regarding women's privacy, vulnerability, and physical competition. Peter and Helen discuss the definition of sex, why trans men should be allowed in women's spaces, the tragedy of the commons, fa'afafine, evolution, the “thought-terminating cliché,” the tribal fear of rejection, the cultivation of mental illness, why institutions are losing their North Stars, and much more. Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality by Helen Joyce Helen Joyce on Twitter: @HJoyceGenderWatch this conversation on YouTube!

In honor of Helen Joyce's keynote appearance at the 2023 Genspect Conference: The Bigger Picture, we wanted to revisit our conversation with her from 2021 shortly after the release of her book, Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality. So this episode is a replay of her prior appearance on our show. And now we find ourselves almost two years later from this recording and she continues her work around sex and gender. She recently announced her decision to leave her senior editorial role at the Economist and is devoting her efforts full-time as the Director of Advocacy at Sex Matters. She has since worked tirelessly to defend women's rights to single-sex spaces against the encroachment of gender self-ID and trans rights activism.Joyce's address at the 2023 conference presents the cultural and sociological impact of gender identity beliefs as well as the disastrous effects of gender identity ideology on the health care of those suffering from gender distress.

Helen Joyce is a journalist, former writer and editor at The Economist, and author of TRANS: When Ideology Meets Reality. She joins the Dorx to discuss what is and is not Worthy Of Respect In A Democratic Society, the importance of free speech to free thought, the stupefaction of political polarization, differences between TERF Island and the USA, Left-wing “discipline,” splits in the gender-critical movement, and more. Nina is such a drooling fangirl she barely flinches when her work is compared to painted stones and crocheted vulvas, and Corinna asks refreshing questions.

I'm also an author: my first book, “Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality”, was published by OneWorld in July 2021. And I'm a feminist campaigner: in early 2022 I took a leave of absence from The Economist to work with start-up human-rights organisation Sex Matters, which campaigns for clarity about the two sexes, male and female, in law and in life. In early 2023 I decided to continue with my campaigning work rather than return to The Economist. “Trans” was an immediate bestseller and named by the Times, Spectator and Observer as one of their books of 2021. The paperback came out on May 5th 2022. It includes an entirely new foreword and afterword. An audiobook edition is also available, read by me.

The Trans movement surges across western civilization, necessitating the ego-centric fantasies of gender-dysphoric youths over what once was known commonly as indisputable reality. Helen Joyce and Dr Jordan B Peterson discuss the depths of this truly cultural battle, the dangers of a quickly growing transhumanist ideology, and the unbridled narcissism lurking at the heart of the conflict.Helen Joyce is an Irish novelist and journalist, acting as the executive editor for events and business at the Economist in London.

I recently emerged victorious from a harrowing battle and successfully defended myself against false allegations of “conversion therapy.” Part of how I got through the stress of it all was envisioning that some day I would be able to use my story to encourage and inspire others. But what I couldn't have imagined was that I'd share it with the illustrious Helen Joyce.Under any other circumstances I would have loved to interview Helen. But in this conversation, she actually interviewed me, in the hopes that my story could help her organization demonstrate to UK officials how including “gender identity change efforts” in its "conversion therapy bans” could backfire. So today, this is my story: where I started off; my experiences as a gender-affirming therapist; what brought me around to seeing matters differently; why I decided to take a stand against gender ideology and medicalization; how I found the courage to share my views publicly; who targeted me, and why; how I defeated them; and what I want lawmakers around the world to understand about these proposed “conversion therapy bans” (hint: they're not what they seem.) This is a very timely conversation, so I bumped it to the front of the queue and am publishing it right away. I hope to have Helen back another time to discuss her own ideas. But for now, I really appreciate this opportunity to share my story with Helen, and the world. If I do say so myself, this is an important conversation for therapists, governing bodies, lawmakers, those seeking therapy, and anyone who cares about the treatment of gender issues in today's society.Helen Joyce is author of “TRANS: When Ideology Meets Reality”, published in July 2021 by OneWorld and in paperback since May 2022.

Helen Joyce is a journalist at "The Economist" and is the author of the book "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality." During our conversation, Helen discusses the pernicious effects of the gender identity movement: the sterilization of children, the cultural incentives that encourage kids to question their sex, the regret that many with gender dysphoria have after sex reassignment surgery, that the vast majority of people who experience gender dysphoria are gay, rather than trans, why female-only spaces matter to women, and the public shaming of and attempts to silence those who disagree with the activist ideology.‌‌------------Support this podcast via VenmoSupport this podcast via PayPalSupport this podcast on Patreon------------Show notesLeave a rating on SpotifyLeave a rating on Apple Podcasts------------(00:00) Intro(03:06) What led Helen into writing her book, "Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality"(04:06) Helen on how she dealt with resistance to asking questions as a journalist(07:14) How Helen feels about pushbacks to open journalism and how she believes we should fight it(09:51) What are the consequences of changing a society where gender is a matter of choice, rather than a matter of biology?(17:12) Helen talks about her research for her book(18:10) Understanding gender dysphoria(19:54) The possible reasons why kids feel they don't belong to their gender(22:01) Helen cites the example of a female who underwent a full medical procedure and hysterectomy to become male - only to later realize that she was lesbian(28:52) Why most gender non-conforming children are likely to be gay(34:04) What happens when children are given puberty blockers?(40:16) The consequences of California allowing its prison inmates to decide their gender(45:37) Helen talks about gender literature in different countries(46:52) What is transphobia?(48:51) Why it's essential to be clear about biological reality for child safeguarding(52:59) What is the right way to think about matters of gender?(01:05:40) Helen explains thought control, thought termination, self-censorship(01:08:42) The narrative of progress is bringing marginalized groups in from the cold - and how this is unlike other social justice movements(01:13:04) Helen's three bits of advice for journalists who are committed to open discussion and open debate(01:14:13) Why your employer is your point of weakness when you're a journalist or an academic(01:19:13) Helen talks about her friend and researcher Maya Forstater, who lost her job due to social media backlash(01:23:01) Where Helen thinks we are in terms of the policing of conversations and dialogue(01:32:03) What is free speech, according to Helen?(01:34:37) Writers, thinkers, public intellectuals, and groups who believe in an open exchange of ideas and information

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.

The New York Times describes Helen Joyce's book, Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, as “an intelligent, thorough rejoinder to an idea that has swept across much of the liberal world seemingly overnight.” Joyce reminds us that her book is not about trans people, but rather, it is about the idea “that people should count as men or women according to how they feel and what they declare, instead of their biology.” Helen explains the ways it's more acceptable for men to “give up some privilege” and strategies women in other cultures have used to opt out of unfavorable circumstances. Perhaps denying sex leads to a perfectly clear demonstration of just how different men and women can be. We also reflect on the differences between American's tendency to double-down on bad policy and the hopefulness Helen feels with the unfolding UK reckoning with gender self-ID. In this episode, we discuss the many ramifications of “you are exactly who you say you are.” Links: Helen Joyce's Website:  https://thehelenjoyce.com/ (Thehelenjoyce.com) Helen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HJoyceGender (Twitter.com/HJoyceGender)   Book Review by Jesse Singal  https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/07/books/review/trans-helen-joyce.html (Nytimes.com/2021/09/07/books/review/trans-helen-joyce.html)   Helen's interview with Andrew Doyle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAYR8GUJsqo (Youtube.com/watch?v=KAYR8GUJsqo)   Stella's Book Review in The Evening Standard:  https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/books/trans-when-ideology-meets-reality-helen-joyce-review-b944183.html (Standard.co.uk/culture/books/trans-when-ideology-meets-reality-helen-joyce-review-b944183.html)   Becoming Julia (Gender Transition Documentary):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNjV37vp5qk (YouTube.com/watch?v=kNjV37vp5qk)   The End of the World is Flat by Simon Edge:  https://www.eye-books.com/books/the-end-of-the-world-is-flat (Eye-books.com/books/the-end-of-the-world-is-flat)   Survivorship Bias:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias (En.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias)   Small Gods by Terry Pratchett:  https://www.terrypratchettbooks.com/books/small-gods/ (Terrypratchettbooks.com/books/small-gods)   Extended Notes: NY Times reviewed Helen's new book, Trans, and Sasha is even in the book! Helen didn't even think her book would get published because of its taboo topic. Are people fascinated with gender or with sex? Non-binary people are trying to redefine everybody and trying to change a “fundamental truth.” Of course, it gets people upset. What is the difference between transsexualism and gender self-ID? This book is not about trans people, it's a book about ideology. If being trans was an ideology, a belief system, that'd be okay. However, this movement is trying to change gender facts, and that's a harder thing to get behind. Right now it's very difficult to determine what stance is going to be on “the right side of history.” The trans movement is structured as “the next thing” that needs to be liberated from oppression. However, will it be? Why do men commit more transphobic acts than women? People say that when you call people trans, you're committing cultural imperialism. Helen expands on this. Children are suddenly baby adults. When did this happen? What happened to the mother/child bond? People think we can overcome natural human problems with technology. We'd like to think we're above it, but human instincts/nature will always take over. People like to think we're like lego pieces; easily replaceable body parts. If you are a male that wants to be female, the truth is, you can't be. What does that mean for you? It means you have to remake the world. Historically, men have been the dominant ruler. By becoming female, you're giving up power. In society, this is allowed. The same is not true if the genders were reversed. If you change your legal sex from... Support this podcast

Helen Joyce is a journalist for The Economist who holds a PhD in mathematics from University College London, and who recently published a book titled Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, which debuted at number 7 on the Sunday Times' hardback non-fiction list, and appeared in the Times' list of the best books of 2021. Regular Times columnist David Aaronovitch wrote that “Joyce [examines] a new ideology about gender. This holds that biological sex is as much a 'social construct' as the idea of gender is. One benefit of Joyce's book is its intellectual clarity and its refusal to compromise.” Kathleen Stock, professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex, and author of Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism (2021), gave Trans a 5-star review at The Telegraph, calling it a “superlative critical analysis of trans activism” and observing that “Joyce shows an impressive capacity to handle complex statistics, legal statutes, and other bits of evidence without losing clarity or narrative drive.” Writing for the Standard, Stella O'Malley said, “Joyce's book truly is a tour de force. With a fine eye for detail, she brings all the elements of gender ideology together with clarity and precision. For anybody who wishes to gain a deep understanding of the issues related to trans activism, this book is simply a must-read.”

Returning guest Helen Joyce is a mathematician and editor of The Economist. Over the past few years she's been investigating the cultural phenomenon of Transgenderism, and has recently published Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, which gives an excellent overview of the ideology, history, and impact of the trans movement.
