Are Posie Parker Fans N*zis? Aussies Discuss COVID Policies, Gender, & Other Mainstream Media Lies

This Spectrum Street Epistemology exercise in Sydney, Australia began with a claim about COVID-19. It quickly transformed into a conversation about mainstream media and gender self-ID. Two women and one man with diverse views on the topics participated.

Peter Boghossian offered two claims about COVID-19, the first regarding Australia’s response to the pandemic and the second about mask mandates. Discussion regarding media influence during the pandemic led to a third claim: “Mainstream media is trustworthy.”

One participant said her feelings on mainstream media would have been different just a few days before. She said “the scales have fallen from my eyes” following Australian media coverage of Kellie-Jay Keen’s “Let Women Speak” events. Peter offered two new claims to the group related to this topic: “Female-only spaces should exist,” and “Trans women are women.” The conversation ended with an attempt to define “woman.”

Two participants indicated that discussing gender-ID laws could have negative consequences, including losing friends and employment. One woman’s hands were visibly shaking. When Peter interviewed Kellie-Jay Keen following her events in Australia, he shared excerpts of this conversation: https://youtu.be/Q5YqYbYf1cw?si=olwbelOsOzR4X2H5
