In this supporter-only episode, we kick things off with a look at a sharp rebuttal by Jon Pike and Emma Hilton to a recent academic paper defending Caster Semenya’s eligibility to compete in the women’s category. We break down their clear, evidence-based response, which exposes the original paper’s scientific errors and ideological framing, and explains why male advantage in sport—regardless of gender identity or DSD status—still matters.
In the second segment, we dig into a wildly unserious master’s thesis that queers classic fairy tales. From dystopian rewrites of Cinderella to critiques of “happily ever after,” this thesis shows how activist scholarship is turning children’s stories into political manifestos.
This episode is for supporters only, but next week’s episode will be completely free—so it’s a great time to try it out and see if you want to join the community!
