TOP 5 of 2022 Countdown: #1 EP 93 - A Takedown of Gender Politics with Wesley Yang

This episode is being rereleased as part of our Top 5 Episodes of 2022 Countdown! Wesley Yang, an essayist and public intellectual, has written extensively about 21st-century America and the liminal position of the non-black, non-white person. Coining the term "successor ideology" in 2019, Wesley has carefully analyzed this particular kind of ideology among left-wing movements that is centered around identity politics. Wesley has recently turned his attention towards gender issues and, in this episode, he delivers a blistering analysis of how gender has become a socio-political juggernaut, infiltrating society in every possible way. His substack features his writing, and the writing of other authors who are covering all the shocking twists and turns in the gender debates. He is also covering the release of the new WPATH Standards of Care, and the subsequent talks given about various chapters, including the now infamous eunuch chapter.  As you’ll hear Wesley has a truly incisive mind and dynamic voice, and we’re so thrilled he’s pointing his attention towards pediatric transition and the horrible treatment parents receive when they attempt to protect their children. We’ll just let him speak for himself: here is Wesley Yang. Links:  Wesley Yang’s Substack: https://wesleyyang.substack.com/   Wesley Yang’s Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/wesyang  The Face of Seung-Hui Cho https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-6/essays/face-seung-hui-cho/   Book the souls of yellow folk  https://amzn.to/3BCtziO   Eliza mongreen transexceptionalism and kids twitter  https://twitter.com/elizamondegreen/status/1494299809297178633?s=20&t=yF8H9TotYE_4ENzc41_JIg   Swedish Documentary The Trans Train:  Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJGAoNbHYzk&t=265s  Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73-mLwWIgwU   Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3WqLT9NEnU   Billboard Chris on Wesley’s Youtube:  https://youtu.be/AlacNs0b6Jw   Teacher with gigantic prosthetic breasts is defended in Ontario:  This is a public episode.
