One might argue that we all interfere with one another’s lives to some degree, when we live and participate in society no? The question becomes, when is that interference warranted and appropriate? For example, those seeking to police the language of others, their ability to speak the truth and describe the reality of the world around them, might be seen to be ‘interfering with other people’s lives’. The odd insistence by some that one can ‘own’ pronouns is something I’m prepared to oppose, as I find it particularly egregious. Another example might be, the insistence of some men that they be given access to single sex spaces which are designated for women and girls. I’d say that could be deemed ‘interference’ and as such I am prepared to strongly object to that as well. And finally but by no means least - indoctrination of children into an ideology which deliberately seeks to confuse their sense of biological reality, lie to them about being able to change sex and potentially lead them down a path of medicalisation for life and - I very much believe that to be ‘interfering’ - not only do I oppose this ‘interference’ but it’s the hill I’m opting to die on.

Stock quit her job Joyce reads fanfic involving kids on the train

As an Irish woman, I'm really impressed by the interviews I've seen with Helen Joyce. She's right that there seems to be a silencing process around her book here. I did manage to get hold of it but had to specifically ask for it in a bookshop. It wasn't on display. I tried to get the Graham Linehan memoir the other day and managed to create a fuss in the bookshop by even asking (I enjoy doing this sort of thing just to make a point about freedom of expression and censorship). It wasn't on display, the staff member spent 10 mins looking for it in storage, and I got the impression from a tense conversation between staff members there had been an incident where a batch of copies was damaged. I've had a lot of encounters with the left in the past due to being part of it on certain issues, and had already noticed the tendency toward herd-like dogmatism. However, I've never come across anything like this sort of censorship. If a group is on the defensive to this degree, there is something deeply wrong (I know this anyway, after reading the Hannah Barnes book). By the way, gender studies did not always push this agenda. I studied it in the '90s when it was still Women's Studies and it was more about freedom of (gender) expression within the boundaries of the gender you were born into and reclaiming women's history and literature, as well as studying gender patterns in society from a sociological point of view - the idea of changing gender was not on the agenda at all at that time. I'm assuming this discipline has now been hijacked also (I'm out of touch with what's happening as I write in the IT space now, which is a lot less contentious obviously, though I have encountered it aired in some of the more trendy IT companies, where there tends to be massive virtue signalling).

Hi @@healingcreationsmandalaart5056 - Dubray Books, Mary Street, Dublin (just up from the Ilac Centre, and opposite the Jervis St. Centre). I empathise! Though, I don't think it's far-right to query what's been happening with giving children puberty blockers and transitioning them, or to defend women in sports, or to speak out in favour of women's privacy in public spaces such as changing rooms or bathrooms, or to say it's wrong for male sexual predators who suddenly decide to 'self-identify' as women to be placed in women's prisons. It's definitely very cult-like, this ideology. I am not even posting under my usual name here because my own industry is permeated by it and I'd rather not lose my job. It's really really scary, what's happening: I only realised the full extent of it in the last couple of years, and it's dawned on me that I may feel the need to make a stand properly at some point, and do some financial planning accordingly (I know from previous experience about the need to have a bit of a nest egg if you do serious activism). This is one of those strange times when the concerns of the radical feminists converge with the concerns of the evangelical religious right. It happened in the '80s for a while with the profileration of pornography, but I'd say this is even more important.

You’re correct about gender studies and education in general being captured. If I could suggest another book for your reading list, Cynical Theories, by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, examines the roots of Critical Theory, of which gender studies is just one offshoot. Pluckrose and Lindsay are academics and the book can be heavy going at times due to the nature of what they're exploring (especially when unpicking the impenetrable prose of Judith Butler) but it really sheds light on how we got to where we are today.

54:18 That barrette story, wow. . . 🤦🏾‍♀️ I was a tomboy who ABSOLUTELY would've been "diagnosed" as a trans boy if I'd been born in this century instead of the 20th century. And -- like many autistic kids -- I HATED any clothing or accessories that "grabbed" at me (like hair barrettes). They felt constricting and uncomfortable and "itchy". I even used to tell my biological parents I "should" have been born a boy. Not just "I wish" but "I _SHOULD_ have been born a boy" . . . especially when puberty hit me like an Australian Road Train. 😱😫 The thought of being "cursed" with this every MONTH completely grossed me out; and if I'd had access to puberty blockers, I definitely would've taken them. So I'm grateful there was no "opportunity" for me to get "gender affirming care", because now -- as a woman -- I have an intact body, and I wasn't sterilized, and I have good strong bones. And -- even as a woman -- I was able to find a special niche of work in a job I LOVED: Post-disaster response. I couldn't lift what my male coworkers could, of course; _however,_ my small size and female hip-flexibility were huge assets: I could access tiny, narrow debris voids which my coworkers couldn't fit into; and I could navigate across unstable fields of rubble without breaking through because of my lighter body weight. I'm not surprised an unusually high proportion of "trans kids" are on the autism spectrum, given the ridiculous alleged "cues" like the barrette story. FFS, I know plenty of very feminine women who don't like the way barrettes yank at their hair.

It was also valuable to hear at the end both all the ways Joyce is working to bring change, and how she then urged Beckheim and all listeners to stand up as much as possible to create change ourselves. Linehan got shunted even further aside, at the time, for comparing trans ideology's adherents to Nazis, so it was especially good to hear Joyce drawing out the analogy and really explaining it. Thank you for letting this be two hours long, not the usual shorter format of many podcasters.

Helen really is the “bees knees” on gender. Her book is the one that helped me the most after being divorced by my AGP husband. What an eloquent, intelligent and thoroughly nice woman. And Henrik, you are a great listener, thank you.

Happy to see commenters here calling out gender ideology. The more people do it the better

When identity is taken as authority, you get what is happening with TRAs.

​@@ProkofNY Yes, it's an attempt to obtain authority over a subject without requiring or valuing objectivity. If a mouse has a superior understanding of the opression of the mousetrap, just because of its standpoint as a mouse, why do many mice still go after the cheese? The implication is that the superior type of mouse understands the mousetrap better than all the other mice, via its critical consciousness, and is not trapped. Hence other mice who do not share that understanding are inferiors who deserve their oppression.

⁠​⁠@@liberality Yes, it is a sham that makes the ideology’s tenets basically unfalsifiable. Hence, standpoint epistemology makes the ideology religion-like. Also, the whole woke movement to me is emblematic of that movement in Animal Farm when the pigs add the “but some are more equal than others” clause to the rules of the farm. The ideology which doesn’t like to be named is one that centers double standards. No wonder Harvard finds itself where it is right now. Imagine, my husband was there in 2008, the year JKR gave its commencement speech. How far has the institution fallen since then? I believe we can blame standpoint epistemology, double stands and the loop they create for the abandonment of objectivity and Veritas (in case you are unfamiliar, this is Harvard’s motto).

This was a very very good conversation. Thank you

The little girl who used to live next door, whom I used to babysit when I was a teenager, has now transitioned...along with her entire friendship group. Her parents were obviously sceptical but have gone along with it. I live far away from them, and all I can do is pray for them.

Common sense + brains + courage= Helen Joyce!

Thank you both for this great interview, I really do hope that it reaches wider audience, much as I hope that truth and reason will ultimately win. I have just finished reading Helen Joyce's book "Trans. When Ideology Meets Reality" and it's one of the best written and best researched books I'd ever had in my hands. I'm hoping that everyone gets to say "Eppur si muove" out loud and without the threat of being fired, silenced, cancelled and what not. Thanks a lot again for the good work!

What a no nonsense, sensible woman.

Thanks for this podcast. A fantastic, rational discussion. Helen is a pleasure to listen to, she lays out her reasoning in a clear and logical way.

Great conversation thank you.

Total common sense . Brilliant conversation. Being sane depends on other people and society agreeing with some basic facts.

“It’s a particularly dumb religion” Which is true, but her “matter of fact”style made me laugh out loud. 😆

This is one of the best conversations I've heard with Helen and builds on her previous statements and does not simply repeat everything. I would highly recommend clipping the part about mental health as it's a very important message and might get lost amongst the rest of the conversation. It would be great to share just that part as I think it would help people.

Great! Vad bra att du har Helen Joyce med i din podcast!

Re "gender neutral" toilets - Where the door allows access to a room with a single toilet, this seems perfectly fine and should be uncontroversial. However, where the door allows access to a common area with multiple cubicles, it is a bad, bad idea indeed.

I hear men at my sailing club saying "I have seen the things you are describing". So I respond; "You are a decent men. Please stand up, say something when you are uncomfortable. Do not stay silent. 'All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to say nothing' ".

47:33 The lobotomy was done on kids, too. There's an amazing book called "My Lobotomy" that is a memoir by someone who had one. (Strangely, having it done at this young age was partly what saved him, because his brain could grow around the damage.) Certain themes from his story, like Munchausen by proxy and abuse in the home, are disturbingly similar to detrans stories.

Really sorry to hear about the sad state of affairs with Irish media. Helen is right in that any other best selling irish author would be all over irish media.

Helen embodies down-to-Earth. Pragmatic.

The mind boggles that this is actually going on...

Henri, thank you. This was a fabulous, comprehensive interview. You asked good questions and you let her answer.

In Catholic school in the 1970s, I would lie about my sins in the Confessional. The nuns told us we had to confess and there was no way we had not sinned. As a 4th grader, I was no saint but I couldn't come up with anything so I made up sins to confess. Reminds me of Helen speaking of her niece feeling she needs to lie when forced to record her emotional state every 30 minutes to provide the expected results. This is like a religion on many levels.

When my oldest son was 3, he began to want to play with dolls and cried because he wasn't a girl. Except for buying him dolls, I pretty much ignored his desire to be a girl. He grew out of that desire by age 4. I'm not sure he even remembers that stage of his life. He's quite macho now.

This is a subject I would so like to discuss openly, but because I work in a school, I can't take the risk of losing my job.

Shame on RTÉ ...

Helen Joyce…definitely the “thinking man’s crumpet”! Great job Helen.

I love it..Its a cult, a religion and "a particularly stupid (neo) religion.'" Gave me a laugh, which I could really use right now...thank you

It's appealing to believe in impossible thing as it is appealing to identify as impossible things

Helen, you are very interesting, calm, well researched, on point, articulate and fact based. Thanks.

Rent seekers, new term for me. Well described.

I will never put pronouns in my bio. Hell no, and Im a gay woman, who is a bit of a tomboy, but I think everyone knows Im a female. If they didn't, I would find that offensive. No need for pronouns. Whenever I see pronouns in a bio, I autithink the person isn't too bright.

Yet more wise words from Helen. We are witnessing an era of unhealthy self-absorption and introspection

I don't know that "gender identity" means "souls" (although it's obvious that many in the gender cult have this idea in their head). It's really more of a very poor attempt at psychological theory. We have theories like "self-identity" and similar terms around that theme (e.g. ethnic identity), which are all introspective, superfluously fancy ways to say 'how we see ourselves'. Although framed with the legitimising bow of 'theory'), it's still very lazy academia. The sort of thing a bad academic comes up with to justify their status, taking one obvious idea and then expanding it in even more useless ways. Any of us can do it. Look, I'll come up with my own theory right now: HAIR COLOUR IDENTITY - The psychological theory pertaining to one's subjective identity of one's hair colour. Sometimes, a person's hair colour is at odds with their subjective experience. Other people would describe my hair as blonde, but I think of myself more as a brunette. Well that's my tenure sorted.

Some times you just have to live with sex you were born with. There are short people that wish they were taller, you can't pretend you are actually a tall person in a short body.

This conversation is so in-depth and interesting, even to someone already knowledgeable about the dangers of the gender religion. For the newly initiated it will blow some minds! Helen Joyce is incredible as always and Henrik is a great interviewer. Thank you so much for making this available for all.

@@dunzodonaldsExplain how she’s incorrect. By the way, she hasn’t lain out ALL her thoughts on the trans issue in this one interview, so you might think her viewpoint is too simplistic and therefore false (but it isn’t, she’s articulated quite sophisticated thoughts on this very silly topic), but where are you getting the idea she’s experiencing cognitive dissonance?

We live in a guillotine society... Cutting people off from those "who don't agree with you," is a symptom of the lack of empathy our culture has engaged in. Narcissium has become the norm within our culture at epidemic proportions. The Culture of American Life in an Age of Narcissism Diminishing Expectations, by Christopher Lasch - is a great read to understand these symptoms of our image being at the helm of our lives....
