#072 - Pear Joseph - I Thought I Was Meant to Be a Girl

Pear Joseph is a gay man who openly speaks out against gender ideology. I first discovered Pear through an article he wrote for an organisation called Genspect, titled: “Not Being Affirmed Saved My Life.”

In this episode, we discuss what made him feel like he was a girl, why he feels compelled to speak about these issues, and I offer counterexamples, including how transitioning helps some people, and how we might coexist despite having different conceptions of what it means to be a woman.
