Hi, I just want to see some working class members of society on this show. It’s a class of society that is consistently missing from the dialogue . I’m talking about hearing from the wide ranging members of the working class ( races , sexualities, genders etc. ) and hearing what their experiences are on the ground level .

@Adamb87

Thanks so much for what you wrote , I absolutely agree. I was bought up middle class but as an adult I’ve been working class. I have spoken to many working class people who have a depth of knowledge on philosophy, politics and society. But who also have a distinct real love for other people and are uniquely savvy about life at a grassroots level . Yet they remain unheard , unseen and are seemingly unwanted from many forms of media, political debate , government and the public dialogue.

Please , can you consider having some real working class members of society on your show Owen?? This show is such a great outlier in many ways from the mainstream media , but like most other media platforms the working class are absent. I believe that socialism is for the benefit of all people’s , and since much of it’s roots are from the working class I feel they should be represented on podcasts such as yours .

Allowing males to "identify" into female-only spaces erases female rights and protections. That's why. You have done nothing to explain how anyone comes to the conclusion that they are "trans" based on anything else than what sexist stereotypes are associated with each sex. If it isn't about stereotypes, then why does a man feel the need to "transition" if it doesn't actually matter what he looks or feels like, what's wrong with simply being a gender non-conforming male? What precisely "makes" a male a "woman"??? How can he tell??? Provide examples of what this knowledge is based on beyond sexist stereotypes. What are these "womanly feelings" that only women can have? What is the behaviour that only women can display? There must be concrete things, which you can mention, which aren't simply sexist stereotypes, if "gender identity" is based on something other than sexist stereotypes. Funny how not one single TRA has come up with anything yet, you just say "it isn't the same" while failing to elaborate, and if you can't explain how then you simply cannot claim they are different.

@@asparagus5428 The belief sex is simple is because we often ignore the reality of biology, a simplification for time and ease's sake. Of course there's no third sex or gamete, but sex is by definition a bimodal distribution, not a binary. Trying to impose a strict social binary onto a bimodal spectrum is ridiculous because it excludes the divergent cases from the modes. Woman is a word we apply to one of those modes, but because there's no cut off when you're dealing with a spectrum, so it's more logical to treat it as a social class, rather than a technical biological term. Of course, most women possess a certain set of biological characteristics, but even ones you'd likely consider women don't always follow those rules. Trans people don't use the term woman as a technical biological term, we use it as a term to describe a social identity often attributed to those that have gestational reproductive organs, because that's the way people use the word woman in day to day life. When I say 'Oh, I met a lovely woman at the park today', I'm not telling you that I met a person with the potential to birth young, I'm telling you that I met a person who has a gender presentation that we would typically categorise as falling under the term woman.

I'll never forget around 10 years ago volunteering in a prison and seeing a trans woman in the men's prison and feeling horrified she was there. She had come out whilst in prison and being transferred out but it was a shock to see her stuck there and at risk. It was the same era I had recently gone vegan and found out you couldn't have vegan food in prison and it was just such a bizzare feeling that you have to advocate for your rights in prison- a place most people hope to never go- and that the majority never have to even think of in that way.

@@leafleafleaf9272 For one thing, she wasn't even particularly comparing the black civil rights movement to trans rights - she was just using Audre Lorde's work as a jumping off point for discussion about identity theory and her own journey with gender identity. But also, comments like these always seem to be coming from a place of "I see trans women as men playing dress up who don't actually have legitimate human rights issues they're fighting for, so I'm offended that they would dare show solidarity or speak to common points of struggle with other marginalized groups. Which is just... no.

two very pretty people talking about trans rights = an aesthetically pleasing informative 43 minutes well spent!

Are you serious or blind?

Nice ,Owen doing a segment with a breadtuber

Awww this was amazing. Thank you so much!

Just popping in to say I love Abigail's channel and she's stunningly beautiful and I'm so happy she's going to be performing The Prince!!

Thanks so much for this video! 🙏 I have just discovered Philosophy Tube which is going to keep me busy for the next few days! And I’m going to be so much cleverer at the end of it! 😁

Abigail spilling that tea about women having to manage men’s emotions. Ain’t that the truth!

I love Abi and it's great you gave her a platform! All the best to you!

Abi always speaks so honestly and eloquently about anything she puts her voice to. We love to see it. Also, watching Owen shamelessly flirt with his guest is an intriguing angle to this series I certainly haven't noticed before!

You're wonderful Abi. I'm learning so much for you. Thankyou x

New subscriber, this was an amazing interview. Thank you for doing it. I absolutely NEEDED this.

What a great interview very thoughtful on both sides and just a nice conversation.

A gift to the trans community because of her intelligence and serenity and humility. A gift for us all really .

I LOVE Abigail and Philosophy Tube.

Hey it’s Abi from Da KZread Zone. I heard she’s friends Johannes Vonk.

The Halloween special on Gender, Witchcraft, and Marxism was excellent (all along)

Channels like Philosophy Tube are what make YT worth watching two 5 second ads every 15 minutes. I cried during her coming out vid. 💗

I’d be really happy just to have Abigail narrate my life. I could listen to her all day. Lovely interview!

R.I.P. Sophie :(

Abigail - Thank you SO much for including "thinness" in the list of privileges. Some of us "people of size" are born with, or have developed, endocrine disorders and other health complications that make it damn near impossible to be thin, even if going to extremes like a few hundred calorie a day, liquid diets and extreme exercise. Just finding a Dr. who understands and believes is a rare gift. Hearing it mentioned in public discourse on social issues is heartwarming.

Ok. I just saw your "Why Do I Hate My Self?" video. You get it. Your body could respond to that pressure and become thin (albeit to detrimental levels) ... but you get it. Appreciate you even more.

This is for the algorithm what a lovely interview I love Abi

Very interesting & informative discussion. Thank you both.😀

Two of my favourite people ❤

Nothing to say, just commenting to feed the algorithm and help increase visibility. Great video. Made a shitty day a bit brighter. Ta.

Incredible!

Abigail is amazing - her cadence and demeanor, and her ability to articulate in the manner that she does is so inspirational. She’s the woman I want to be.

I love her so much ❤️

My two patreon subs have finally crossed over. A welcome surprise!

Love this!!! thanks Abigail
