Why would eating shrimp/ animal fat have a negative impact on your blood cholesterol. My understanding is that newer research indicates, cholesterol isn't linked to your diet or food, more to do with your genetics and liver. Whatever impact food has on your cholesterol is small.

No? I have a professional interest in this as a young doctor. The science on this has shifted in my knowledge away from villyfying dietary cholesterol.

Did he actually attack the legitimacy of trans identity? (Serious question because I thought he defended trans identity in a discussion with “Defending Feminism”)

I made an assumption about that based on an upcoming debate where I was wrong

Ive asked a clarifying question, I could be slightly off there

I did not! In fact, I've defended it in various places.

Sorry, I made a mistake there

I will say: I don't think I have any edgy takes about the legitimacy of trans identity. I have the standard left-wing view.

What is the position youre going to be taking in your conversation with Chris Date?

Expand full comment

At least some trans women are women.

What is his position in contrast to that?

Expand full comment

That none of them are. He thinks that no one has a gender that differs from their sex.

Ah Ok I assumed you were taking that position so was wrong about that. Will edit
