Free Speech Nation with Andrew Doyle The Podcast Episode 5: Helen Joyce

[@DieFlabbergast]

Ms. Joyce is as intellectually sharp as a razor blade. Listening to her was an unmitigated pleasure.

[@johndarcey]

Incredible. Blows my mind. Imagine being that sharp!

[@buckass]

Helen is a great gal, although disappointing interview by Doyle. I expected GB news to be a balanced station expressing all views. He seems to just agree with everything here and not challenge her. I fear GB News is becoming an echo chamber.

@@buckass It is difficult for anyone to present a position defending utter insanity though.

[@buckass]

@@russellsharpe288 Unfortunately this is a leftist tactic. You gotta present all views, not leave out the "wrong opinions" as you see them. Otherwise you are as bad as the left who routinely ignore others "wrong opinions". GB News needs to address this or our side starts to look like hippocrits.

[@russellsharpe288]

@@buckass I used to think so too. But you can only have a debate with someone who is in good faith, and the pushers of this ideology are not remotely in good faith. They are psychopaths. The only thing achieved in engaging with them is that you waste a lot of time and mental energy arguing that human beings cannot change sex, or that 2+2=4 - things which everybody not insane already knows. Probably simple ridicule is the best strategy.

WOW - this is THE DISCUSSION I have waited 4 years to hear on MSM. Thank you Helen, thank you Andrew and thank you GB News. Helen's book is a game-changer and addresses the mess we are in, rapists in women's prisons, males in female sports, and the medicalization of children.

This is one of the best podcasts on youtube for explaining the whole "trans" ideology vs Gender Critical thing. Thanks for interviewing Helen Joyce - she's such an eloquent speaker.

[@BrainiacFingers]

This interview has reassured me that there still is intelligent life out there. The "trans" issue reminds me of a passage from 1984: O'brien: how many fingers am I holding up, Winston? Winston: Four O'brien: And what if the party says five? How many then?

If only it was balanced. When it's a piece with two people agreeing, it's useless unfortunately.

@@shaunclubberlang2887 Yes exactly, then Helen could destroy that person with facts and logic. That would really get her point across more, and convince other people. Instead presenting one side just seems like propaganda. BBC used to be the only one who did that. Now it seems GB news is going the woke route.

[@shaunclubberlang2887]

@@buckass No point in putting a trans activist up there. You don't reason a person out of a position when they haven't arrived at the the position by reason in the first place. When you are dealing with people who can say that you are transphobic because you prefer women you date to have vaginas and not penises, where is the point at which you can reach them with rational arguments?

This whole thing is Orwellian. I think he must be spinning in his grave. In the case of language he was particularly prescient. You might not believe it, but CRT theorists have now turned their attention to maths and ARE trying to argue that 2+2=5! There's a bit in the book I remember, when Winston's friend said, "In the past they were always trying to increase vocabulary. Now we are reducing it by thousands of words a year!"

[@wellsorted]

I really don't see how calling a man with a sexual fetish "she" and "her" is polite. I think it's bonkers, and bowing to manipulation, not to mention insulting to women. Why isn't our automatic reaction to be "nice" to women and not call men "she" and "her"? We aren't "nice" and refer to transracials as "black". Why do women never get the same courtesies as other groups but must be endlessly courteous?

[@robertsands8137]

Terminal kindness will kill us all. Compassion to everything. No boundaries.

Thank you so so so much for this much needed and long overdue discussion about this issue. Thank you GB News for being brave enough to explain this in clear, factual, unambiguous detail. The BBC should have had this discussion but are too in thrall to the ideology to talk about it. Instead they produce programmes for adults AND children that promote this belief system. They are helping to brainwash a generation and should be ashamed of themselves. Thank you so much for telling the truth. I will share this widely.

[@hammersmithbridge9115]

Such a good debate. Not something I would normally give up an hour and half to listen to but have ended up ordering the book. Wouldn't get to hear this in the MSM who have become lazy commentators masquerading as journalists. Real journalism requires real debate from people who have put in the time to understand it. Liked the point that Rugby is a Collision sport not a contact sport and the fact that gay people are having to come out of retirement to re-defend their position. I worry about what young people are being taught but more importantly what they subsequently believe and internalise as they will not be able to articulate their way out of it if they later dont believe in it.

[@Ao456kl]

Another point about Hubbard is that when he injured his arm in the Commonwealth games 2016, he was attempting a CW world women's record....on his second lift. AGPs often also have a kink around humiliation....some get off on being clocked as men. Actually it's a shame autogynaphilia, the most common reason for trans, is not mentioned.

Andrew is a surprisingly good interviewer, thoughtful and sincere, so many men with a libertarian streak are off-puttingly arrogant show offs. Very impressed.

Ms. Joyce is fantastic! Especially at the 52 minute mark where she and Andrew talk about journalism and how one asks questions until there's understanding. I'm a career scientist and that's how I was made aware of the absurdity of gender identity ideology: Ask a few clarifying questions and you're shut down. The ideology is indefensible. Joyce speaks so well and does such thorough research. Great discussion, Clear, powerful and compelling (okay, I sound like I'm writing one of those endorsement blurbs for a book, but nonetheless.

34:59 it will be interesting when the balance finally tips and everyone who is currently too afraid to speak out and state the truth about biological sex; that men cannot become women though they can 'feel' feminine. Because this fact is shared by the vast majority of the population. The pushback will be huge and many will feel relieved to be able to express their (not transphobic) opinion. I am concerned that there may be a backlash against genuine transexual people and those in the gay communities and I hope that this doesn't happen. We must ensure that it does not.

Indeed, LH had to formally *qualify* in order to secure the single weightlifting place allowed for NZ, in place of an actual biological woman.

Fantastic and important conversation, I’ll be buying Helen’s book. I do not understand why the Trans activists are so against the truth, they should be upset about all the lies that are told not about long understood biological truths. I have an adult son, he loved wrestling and we used to rough and tumble when he was a child, I have a clear memory of him being able to over power me when he was 11 years old, he was shorter and lighter in weight than me but his male physicality was already dominant. I hold no delusions about my physical limitations as a woman in comparison to men, this realisation doesn’t upset me it’s just life.
