YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOriginal Episode Here
Caller Jason from Ghana asks whether being transgender is caused by external influences like seeing how other genders behave or strict gender role expectations from parents, or if it's an innate biological trait. The hosts explain that like sexual orientation, gender identity is something you're born with—not something caused by environmental factors. While it may take people time to discover and express their authentic identity, especially in societies that pressure conformity, the underlying identity itself is innate. They emphasize that studies attempting to influence people to be or not be trans have consistently failed and only caused mental health harm. The hosts also discuss the challenge of navigating these conversations on public platforms, where audiences often fixate on minor errors rather than engaging with the substance of the discussion.
