Seems like it’s time for this show to have a PROPER debate about trans issues in the U.S.
In an otherwise informative show, their (rare) segments on this topic are maddeningly unhelpful.
And I think a proper debate would involve

• Asking everyone to define their view. It’s not that helpful to know Ryan and Krystal oppose “hate”. What would be helpful is knowing whether they think there really is an infinite spectrum of genders and whether they think believing in a gender binary is harmful, reductive thinking that will eventually be (non-coercively) overcome.

• Getting Emily to be part of it and I mean the ACTUAL Emily from After Party. I’m all for civility in cohosting but you tune into that show and think “Wow! This is a different and way more vocal person!” You can’t do this discussion justice without an evangelical voice and so she’d need to be present and non-deferential.

• Having Saagar and Emily interact on the underpinnings: does it make sense to oppose trans ideology ...

Haha oh what is this? A historical parallel to the Nazis… Wow you don’t say they scapegoated trans, queer, Black, and disabled people too!?! Wow thank god nothing like this is happening now-
