I think it's hard to see the links with my new color scheme that I was playing around with. It's in there. https://vimeo.com/event/4933106

I watched the whole video and found that Wu and Sapir had a remarkably thoughtful and congenial discussion. They had broad areas of strong agreement and an intelligent exchange on their disagreements. I wouldn’t characterize this interaction as a debate, but rather a thoughtful exchange between two people who have pondered the matter long and hard. The trans community would do itself a service by adopting Wu’s reasoned and reasonable views and approaches. It was refreshing to hear her come down so firmly against medical transitioning for young children. She did not convince me, however, that medically transitioning at 14 or 15 can be justified.

Keep in mind that Brianna Wu also states that "sex work" is appealing to autogynophiles because they find it erotically arousing. Good on Leor Sapir for a stalwart defense of biological reality. Young men recently out of the cult whose voices should be heard more are Shane Cole, recently on Stephanie Winn YouTube channel and Simon Amaya Price whose channel is his name. The links to sissy hypnotic and other pornography appear to be a forbidden topic for Brianna Wu, despite is statement above.

They were hostile and uncurious.

Not at all surprising, but oh so frustrating (inadequate adjective).
