Concepts are rarely defined and understood by those involved in politics. What are the consequences of using the term 'gender?' Dr. Alex Byrne, Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, provides explanations about how these concepts should be used. He also previews his work on a 2025 report revealing very weak evidence and weak medical ethics for treatment of pediatric gender dysphoria.
