#040 - James Esses - Why I Stood Up Against Gender Ideology Despite The Personal Costs

James Esses is a social commentator and writer, the co-founder of Thoughtful Therapists and the coordinator of the Declaration for Biological Reality. In this episode, James and I talk about why he was expelled from a Masters in Psychotherapy three years ago, the personal consequences he suffered for airing his gender critical views, the extent of ideological capture of Britain's largest institutions, what compelled James to speak up and the nature of bravery, how the Overton window on transgenderism has shifted, but not for everyone, the need for CEOs and leaders of corporations to de-politicise their business, and why James changed his mind on the usefulness of psychotherapy, and much, much more. Enjoy the show Classmates.
