On 1 August 2019, the Lethbridge-based Bridge City News published a video on their YouTube channel titled “What is Transgenderism? - Dr Aaron Devor (Guest)”. In it, Bridge City News’ anchor and news director Hal Roberts interviews Dr. Aaron Devor, a trans man, a published sociologist/sexoligist, and the chair of transgender studies at the University of Victoria.

This video appears to be an attempt to respond to the pushback they received on last week’s interview with transphobic psychotherapist Dr. Ann Gillies., which was a disaster. 

This week’s interview was better—mostly thanks to Aaron’s professionalism and rationality—but it still was flawed. In this video, instead of reviewing the entire interview, as I did last week, I will focus on just the questioning tactics. After all, Aaron is an actual expert on sex and gender, whereas Ann was just a hack, so there’s no need to tear apart anything Aaron says..
