What Is the Nature of Trans? w/ Mia Hughes & Exulansic

In this episode of Spectrum Street Epistemology, we are joined by Exulansic, a de-transitioner banned from social media for speaking out about the dangers of gender-affirming care, and Mia Hughes, the whistleblower behind the WPATH files. We have a forthright discussion about transgender issues. We begin with a core question: Should we generally believe people when they express their identity?

As the conversation deepens, we explore the complexities of assuming you are transgender and whether this phenomenon can be scientifically tested. Is it possible to determine if someone is trans through brain scans, or is it simply a matter of self-diagnosis? When someone says they are trans, they are? Is there an objective, ontological category of trans?
