Transgender Ideology, The Cass Review, and Stopping Child Harm | Helen Joyce

In this interview, John is joined by author and journalist Helen Joyce to discuss the recent Cass review and its revelations that medical treatment for children with gender confusion has rested on ‘shaky foundations’. John and Helen talk about the history of transgenderism, where it stems from and where it is going. Helen explores the demographics affected by transgender ideology, namely, the large number of children that fall prey to it, and the struggles their parents face in trying to help them. Helen explains the insidious impact of this ideology on the institutions, including the fallout from the Tavistock scandal in the United Kingdom. Helen Joyce was Britain Editor at The Economist, where she worked for over 15 years before she joined the gender-critical campaign group Sex Matters as a director. She is the author of Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 01:45 The History of Transgenderism 09:02 Transgenderism in the West 13:39 The Tavistock Clinic 24:04 Transgenderism and Children 29:35 The Children of the Tavistock Clinic 34:01 The Cass Review 39:56 Suicidality in Trans People 45:27 The Medical Industry as a Whole 48:26 Do Parents Support This? 53:13 Institutional Capture by Trans Activists 57:55 Autogynephilia 01:02:30 Government Perspective 01:09:20 Advice for Parents -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world’s foremost thought leaders about today’s pressing social, cultural and political issues.
