I watched it in its entirety and it actually became better after the 20 minute mark when the host began muting the constant interruptions (Right? I mean… Let’s say… Okay… So…). The lack of any coherent train of thought from Adams did not help but demonstrated the paucity of facts about how today’s ‘affirmation’ approach to rapid onset gender dysphoria with puberty blockers is not being addressed by the trans community (and those who think they are being virtuous to continue to support this charade) with anything other than ideological pabulum contrary to the widespread harm. Adams was unable to define a woman, unable to define gender identity, unable to define gender dysphoria, and unable to explain why causing physiological and lifelong damage to children was okay.
In contrast, the host had good information and raised good reasons why we should be far more concerned than we are, why going along with the transactivist agenda of affirmation is directly responsible for causing unnecessary harm to the vast majority of children treated this way should be challenged, why the Bell case by England’s High Court ruling about what constitutes consent regarding the Tavistock clinic’s transitioning practices following this transactivist ideology is such a legal victory for opponents of this imposed ideology on the rest of us.
More importantly, we can see how a ‘higher’ education Adams took that introduces and teaches this kind of gender identity ideology is actually toxic to the teaching of critical thinking.

@ tildeb
I was done with my University studies in 1999. There wasn’t a trace of any of this bullshite that is so prevalent today. Young adults need to learn how to approach contentious and everyday issues critically. That of course means, being charitable to arguments you don’t agree with. I don’t think Adams has ever done that with the arguments he’s up against as rather than engaging with Chris it was just evasion after evasion topped with some outright lying and obfuscation when pressed.
It was Adams that emailed Chris to ostensibly ‘school’ him and his fatuous arguments… Yet what he put forward wouldn’t have won a 9th grade debate never-mind anything resembling an argument in the real world.
I just feel bad for Adams because he brought a toothpick to a gunfight and still expected to win. When I put my arguments out there, most of the time it is with at least a modicum of thought and time put toward making sure I’m being reasonably cogent and grounded in fact. I just don’t see the evidence of that process happening in this debate.
