91. Helen Joyce Returns: Why Sex Matters in Life and Law

We’re kicking off the new year by welcoming back the guest featured on my most popular episode for a long overdue part two!
Following up on our prior conversation about the impact of conversion therapy legislation, Helen Joyce, a former journalist and advocate for Sex Matters, sheds light on misconceptions surrounding gender, biology, belief, and human rights.
Helen emphasizes the importance of acknowledging sex in various aspects of society, from public facilities to anti-discrimination laws. Do laws attempting to protect certain groups from discrimination do so at the expense of others? How are freedom of speech and belief impacted? And what are the potential consequences of broad legislation aimed at banning conversion therapy?
Delving into the UK's Tavistock GIDS clinic, we uncover the shocking practices and lack of evidence-based care for young individuals seeking gender identity services. While an interim report called for its closure, the story doesn't end there. Discover the current state of gender identity services in the UK and the challenges faced in providing safe and ethical care.
We explore the evolving landscape of gender identity and the emergence of new categories within the transgender community. What underlying factors drive individuals to wish to dissociate themselves from their sexual biology? And how does the cultural shift towards embracing so-called gender diversity impact vulnerable individuals and those who position themselves as rescuers?
Helen Joyce is author of “TRANS: When Ideology Meets Reality”, published in July 2021 by OneWorld and in paperback since May 2022. A Times of London and Spectator book of the year, it is a UK and Amazon top ten bestseller. Helen now works as Director of Advocacy for Sex Matters, a human-rights organization that campaigns for sex-based rights. Her journalism can be found on her website: www.thehelenjoyce.com/.

She does speak facts; however she goes far beyond the basic argument of 'trans women are men' and goes into depth about the difference between the different subsets of trans identified people. She understands that some are victims of the ideology and some are perpetrators.

    Helen Joyce GETS IT. Once a bill is passed & becomes a law, it is rarely taken off the books. "THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT " People don't grasp how traumatic being arrested or being sued can be. Many defendants, of just a civil lawsuit will be so traumatized, they'll stop going to collect the mail, afraid another legal motion or letter will be in the mail. It can demoralize a normal person.

    What an honor to have someone of Helen Joyce’s academic caliber on the side of women and children. Thank you for your clear thinking and ability to stay calm when responding to truly asinine statements. As for shame, just like all human emotions, it is a guide to one’s true self and should not be lightly dismissed. Yes, too much shame destroys a person. But so does lack of shame. As with everything, all things in moderation. Shame tells us not to engage in a specific conduct. In Western society, that is usually an internal voice worth heeding.

    In Victoria, Australia, a law has ALREADY been introduced, under the PRETENSE of "banning (gay) conversion therapy" (that's what the law's titled, and the way politicians/trans activists always frame it) But in reality, it's so incredibly vaguely worded, and broad, it's virtually a blank cheque. But it DOES explicitly say that it criminalizes "saying anything that could dissuade a trans person from transitioning", which politician's have confirmed, includes ANY (so-called) "mis-gendering', and also legally binds all doctors, therapists, teachers etc to an "affirmation-only" approach. So far, the law is still untested in the courts (thankfully). But it's so insanely vaguely-worded, and our courts lean pretty damn "woke", so we basically just have a blank cheque hanging over us all, that ANY resistance/opposition to "gender" nonsense could very easily turn into a potential prison sentence.

Whether you can actually prosecute and imprison someone, is secondary; The omni-present threat, that you COULD lose your freedom, family, job, reputation etc, is (understandably) enough to shut 99% of us up as soon as the heat gets turned up a little,99% of the time...

I am now able to understand the basis for similar mental illnesses that are treated differently by clinicians, doctors. It also explains different outcomes in families who affirm and those who psh back, depending on the issue at hand, e.g. anorexia, trans, Apotemnophelia. Thank you so much, Stephanie.

This development needs more attention since it concerns consequences for evolutionary and biological anthropology, which is and should be scientific, not ideologically biased and consequently anti-scientific.

    Fascinating conversation! I don't always agree with Helen, pessimistically I think many of her propositions are just not viable in today's mad world anymore (give it 7 to 10 years, when many of them will detransition), but she's so well spoken and well informed, I always learn something new from interviews with her. Your explanation of egosyntonic & egodystonic disorders blew my mind! It's so telling that while most AGP men are egosyntonic and joyful and imposing, taking up space, many of young heterosexual women who fell into this ideology seem to be doing the opposite, shrinking themselves. I have a trans student right now, first for me as a teacher who's only in her 2nd year of teaching, and my heart just breaks for this kid, especially since I see the testosterone is doing its thing, the lowering voice and breakouts. That gentle and quiet young person is very clearly on the autism spectrum, and does not behave in the slightest like other boys. I have no idea how will they navigate the world as a man. I try to have empathy, I try to believe it will help them, but they're just so young. millennial generation had eating disorders, gen z have this. And the eating disorder craze mostly passed.

Interestingly, though, many youths whose behavior and sexual attraction are heterosexual are nonetheless choosing to identify as queer, etc. This lends credence to your statement that a large part of this is based in wanting to be part of the "in crowd," and not just Vanilla Straight (in their view.)

    Really appreciate that distinction between ego-syntonic and ego-dystonic (at 01:30:00). Makes so much sense. It's related to the conversation we're having as a culture about people identifying as victims. To what degree does a person identify with their difficulty/diagnosis (OCD, anxiety, depression, for example). Does the person lean into it? Does it make up that person's whole identity? Or is it one part of a person, part of the whole of the person, and the person is consciously navigating it in that context.

    ​@robertmarshall2502 well autogynephilia only affects men. So, women who claim a trans identity are not AGPs. If they did have something analogous that is called autoandrophilia. Both AGP and AAP is not all trans identified peoples reason for transitioning but it could be.

Thursday, December 21, 2017 Gender is determined by objective physiological characteristics , not how an individual "feels." With respect to this section of psychiatry , the inmates have taken over the asylum. For 2.5 million years , humans have assigned gender based on objective physiological characteristics .

    42:00 This brings to mind UK Historian Tom Holland's fantastic book "Dominion: The making of the Western Mind". The basic premise is that many of the secular western values that we hold today find their roots in christianity. Why do progressives value the marginalized? Why do they abhor oppressive power? Why do they aspire to be vicitims when so many cultures have historically valued stength and power? Western values didn't appear out of thin air, are not necessarily self-evident, and are certainly not universally agreed upon by every culture. It's because we're living in a culture that has been saturated for 2000+ years with an aspirational story about a humble carpenter who loved everyone including the leper, was vicitimized by ruling authories, and died a humiliating and painful death. Some have argued that the woke/progressive movement is more religious in nature than scientific, with its priests, holy texts, and casting out of heretics. I tend to agree and would go further to say it's a wayward child of the Christian tradition. Wokeness invaded the West first and furthest because our culture had been primed for it through Christianity.

    Found something I disagree with Helen on. Lowering of chairs on trains! Being 6'8" this would make train seats impossible for me to sit in without incredible pain. It already hurts like nothing else on cars, trains, planes, buses, coaches, etc, to the extent I don't travel more than 30 mins. To that end I definitely don't agree that lowering seats in general is a good idea. Tall and short people exist, having tall people just bend their knees more is dismissive of a huge number of people. I appreciate it was an analogy by Helen but imo it was not thought through in the way Helen is really good at doing. Nevertheless, Helen is awesome. She's up there with Christopher for me.

    Important considerations about the transgender phenomenon and thanks for all that work. I very much support women's calls to protect their own spaces and for fairness in sports. I was appalled at the behaviour of trans activists towards Posie Parker when she visited New Zealand recently, and the inaction by police to protect her and the rights of those who came to hear her views. I would have liked feminists to respect men's need for their own spaces too, but men's clubs were hounded out of existence by them while at the same time they maintained and expanded the number of female-exclusive services, clubs, business groups, taxi services and more. The claim that everything is made for males is nonsense, especially when based upon you finding train seats a bit too high for your comfort. Have you done measurements or a survey? You might find that train seats are still a bit low for many men's comfort and that the seat height is a compromise. And of course there are many provisions for women throughout society especially in democratic states. Remember that feminists laid the foundations for transgender ideology. (That's not to deny that there are some permanently gender dysphoric people - a very small proportion of the population - who will feel much better presenting themselves as the opposite sex.) Those foundations included the early, and in many cases still continuing claims that sex differences are all due to socialization, the feminist version of 'assigned sex at birth'. The foundations also include feminists' hostility towards those who didn't agree with their ideology, or intentional damage to their reputation and careers, very much like the transgender activists do now ('cancel culture' is largely a version of longstanding female in-group, out-group behaviour, ostracizing those who don't conform to whatever criteria their group uses). Also, corruption of scientific rigour in favour of 'advocacy research' with outcomes pre-determined by the methodology, and rejection of 'patriarchal' priorities such as honour, respectful debate, logic and freedom of ideas. It's a shame to distract from the work against gender ideology by side-tracking into feminist propaganda rather than promoting mutual respect and cooperation between the sexes (and not only on female terms).

    The KZread "Context" alert angers me. I went through the light, modern, religious methods as a gay teen so seeing attempts to change professed gender identity or expression compared even to that - to say nothing of the horrific treatments inflicted decades ago - is infuriating. Conversion therapy refers to physically or psychologically torturing people out of innate sexual attraction. Period. It's bad because sexual orientation is something your brain makes you experience, whether you want to or not; it can't be turned off or be distracted away and it doesn't shift with mood. In a person, the experience can be concisely described in reference to concrete biological reality because that's where it's rooted; and, while it might evolve, it never categorically changes. Gender identity is a description a person gives his or her personality; every personality is a complex web of traits that could each be described as more or less feminine or masculine, and their respective presence or dominance in day to day life shifts constantly. Simply by changing out of a dress and into pants or no longer labelling your personality as "demi-boy" - while not altering your actual personality in any way - could be enough to comply with the goals of "conversion therapy" on gender identity or expression; because it's primarily concerned with what you claim to be and has little impact on what you actually are. Challenging gender ideology or performative identities is not the same thing - not even close - to trying to make a gay man feel sick at the sight of a beautiful, sculpted, broad, bare, sun kissed and slightly sweaty man's chest.

    To think of how stating that there are two sexes is now protected in law under Freedom of Religion and Belief, as if it's a construct of the imagination and not a fact of life, is maddening. I had to pause the video and try to wrap my head around this. How did we get here? It's almost impossible for me at this point, to not think of the likelihood of the case that all of this mess is being used as pretext for the implementation of a bigger, more dangerous agenda. Never in history has there been a minority group that has received as much support from the government and media outlets. This is not about trans rights. This is one big leap towards technological dystopia. Removing the human from the body and creating the perfect mindless slave, forever dependant on the system. Synthetic bodies under the pretext of affirmative care, synthetic pregnancies sold as trans women's rights, stunting the brain development of kids and calling it therapy, this is all orchestrated. Don't fall for it. Protect your children. They're the future.

Musk is wealthy - that isn't interchangeable with "good person," and I am certainly willing to accept the premise that his child would want to distant themselves as far as they can from him. However, let's not be afraid to call a spade a spade.

    The thing I wonder about is if the reason Gen Z has so many trans people in it might have to do with environmental contamination and plasticizers. No one talks about that, but the world the younger generations are growing up in has so many more hyper novel chemical many of which are endocrine disruptors. I have wondered if biological disruption gives the people odd feelings resulting in more awkwardness and opening the door to social contagion and then the medical industry and social media started grifting off of something that is a real biological issue driving it into something more extreme. It is a perfect storm, but I wonder if the biology is the base and the treatment might mean getting endocrine disrupters out of the water supply.
