Colin Wright is an evolutionary biologist and Founding Editor of Reality's Last Stand, a publication and newsletter exploring the biology of sex and gender ideology. In grad school he started noticing a lot of ideas about biological sex going heywire, in 2018 he wrote an article for Quillette called The New Evolution Deniers, and people went mad. He and Bridget discuss the fact that if we can't agree that sex is a biological reality we're all screwed, the reaction Colin's colleagues had to his articles, why people in academia are so scared, and the student activists who were trying to get him cancelled. They also cover Colin's recent bans from Etsy and Paypal for no clear reason, losing friends, losing jobs, being called a bigot, how he deals with it all from a mental health perspective, and what this all means for the rest of us, particularly, how powerless you are when financial institutions decide to just unperson you, the risks and rewards of going independent, and why it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
