    This is when I stopped watching. What does an astrophysicist know about gender? Why did she feel the need to insert it into an astrophysics video? Scientists: stay in your lane and recognize you might not be the authority you think you are on every subject. Also, irrelevant to the content at hand.

      There’s a huge phenomenon of people who are experts in random fields pretending that it gives the competence to speak about trans issues.

      Eg, Helen Joyce is a mathematician but has made her entire career into being aggrieved about trans people.

        i suspect alot of these are paid to be right wing mouthpieces by someone funding them. they need new ones currently(the likes of tim poole, shapiro isnt enough), and “intellectuals” aka, pseudointellectuals with degrees have more validity to would be potential “far right supporters” in the audience, and drawing men into the manosphere.
