Are you tired? Helen Joyce is tired. Campaigning to enforce the laws and rights of women to single-sex spaces, sports, and prisons is exhausting. Five years after she published a book to “pre-but” the case for transgender ‘inclusion’, she has yet to hear any debate opponent make an original argument for it.
In this conversation, we discuss the long and lonely road to victory in what we agree is the dumbest culture war ever waged. Helen Joyce is politically homeless, isolated by the media establishment, and out-funded by order of magnitudes compared to the legacy activist organizations that push insane ‘self-ID’ policies. She will fight until she wins. How long that will take, and how much of her, remains to be seen.
