Are They Born This Way? | Spectrum Street Epistemology at Skeptic Conference in Santa Barbara, CA

Two American women and an Australian man participate in a Spectrum Street Epistemology exercise after the Skeptic Conference in Santa Barbara, CA. Peter engages the group in various claims about sex and gender, including whether children can consent to sex “interventions” and whether gay or trans people are born that way. Much of the discussion revolved around the age at which certain surgical procedures would be appropriate; the group also discussed these issues in relation to moral judgment.
