This week I'm speaking with Ray Blanchard, a psychologist, sexologist, who coined the term autogynephilia to describe those men that identify as women, often transitioning to live as women, who get a sexual excitement from imagining themselves as women.And of course, this has got him into trouble from trans extremists.When he praised a book The Man Who Would Be Queen by Michael Bailey he got into even more trouble.Ray is fascinating because he also has a lot to say about whether or not being same-sex attracted is immutable, and also about various paraphilias or kinks as they are often referred to.I visited Ray Blanchard at his home in Toronto, not that far away from Kenneth Zucker's home, who I had interviewed the week before.

Those taking part in the debate were: Me. Zing Tsjeng, UK editor of Broadly (the only one to mention ‘transgender’, but just once). Very ‘queer’ identified.Eleanor Margolis, a lesbian writer, who said, ‘I honestly remember fancying girls when I was about three.’Joe Stone, writer, calls himself a ‘plain old-fashioned gay’ rather than queerAnd Matt Cook, academic, who recalls the terrible loss due to the AIDS crisis during the 1980 and beyond. Jane Garvey hosted. She did a grand job. Have a listen, and consider how the takeover of lesbian and gay culture by gender woo woo impacted. Remember, 2015, the year this episode was broadcast, was the year Stonewall added the T to the LGB, and when Tory Minister for Women, Maria Miller decided to recommend self-ID as a key reform to the 2004 Gender Recognition Act. Everything was about to change, and not for the better. This is a public episode.
