The atheism community prides itself on skeptical, critical thinking. For more then 2 years now every episode we’ve done highlighting trans issues, focusing on the science of gender, the error of biological sex and the rationale for trans policy, only to meet more then our fair share of trolls and troglodytes. This week we are joined by The Path of Reason host Cindy Plaza to discover whether or not critical thinking can support the gender critical trans exclusionary radical feminism we see so much of in our society. Catch the episode loaded with your calls below and be sure to check back here afterwards for some footNOTES!
