The MR crew discusses how bad faith philosophical debate is being used by journalists to push the anti-trans agenda in particular when it comes to sports. The Majority Report crew discuss how these so-called nuanced arguments have political ends and are mostly straw man arguments like those by Glenn Greenwald.

My understanding is, at least in the contest of swimming, is that they do a T-testosterone measure. That’s not seen as a tremendously accurate measurement. During the Olympics, a bunch of African runners got caught up on that. Frankly, as a long-term goal if you want to- I don’t think this is a realistic ask for right now- um, but I do think that eventually, we could transition more towards that. But I also think that, it's a category error to discuss this on a politics show… This isn't politics to me other than to say that trans people are under attack and that we should protect them… I saw the juxtaposition between some Glenn Greenwald tweets which was fascinating, the other day, which was talking about how in this- it was some story on trans athletes that came out in the Times, I didn't read it. Because the amount of ink dedicated to this issue in the proportion that it has on society is astonishing.
