There has been a lot of talk about trans people lately, with controversy surrounding comedians, sports, as well as the usual back and forth between liberals and conservatives. As a liberal, the hateful and harmful rhetoric from the right upsets me, but I have also been consistently disappointed with the ways that liberals approach this conversation, failing to properly explain key scientific concepts to conservatives. I felt very strongly that I had something to add to the conversation, and I hope that people on both sides can find value in this video, and perhaps even correct certain aspects of their rhetoric. I do believe that we will soon get past this as a society so that trans people will enjoy the acceptance that they deserve. - Professor Dave Explains
