The Gender-Critical Divide and the Search for Common Ground, with Jessie Mannisto and Julia Malott

Jessie Mannisto and Julia Malott joined me for a discussion about how different perspectives on the trans issue are creating divisions in the larger "gender-critical" conversation, and how we can come together to identify and pursue common goals. Jessie Mannisto is the founder of Third Factor, a magazine, podcast, and community for intellectually energetic questioners seeking the higher path in life. She is also a former CIA analyst, an editor at Genspect, and a trainee debate chair for Braver Angels, where she sometimes confuses people about whether she is a "red" or a "blue."

Julia is concerned that our recent politics surrounding gender identity and ideology have become increasingly divisive, and she's determined to bridge this gap. Through thoughtful converstion with individuals from all political perspectives, Julia seeks to cut through the noise and have productive conversations across the ideological spectrum to demonstrate that we are not nearly as divided as we might have thought.
