You know when you’re arguing with someone about some hot political issue, and you’re going back and forth, but you’re not getting anywhere?

What if you could integrate your views into a bigger, more comprehensive picture?

Faces of X is a series of short videos that integrate different perspectives on divisive issues, like race, abortion, and gender. First, each video steel-mans the different perspectives. Then — in the triad of thesis, anti-thesis, and synthesis — it attempts to articulate a synthesis.

Faces of Gender stars educator and entrepreneur, @BuckAngelOfficialIn his video, Angel acknowledges that he's been critical of the transgender movement, but because he cares about the safety of trans youth. His words integrate the insights of the trans movement into a bigger-picture view.
