Comment your questions for the guys to ask David at the end of the interview.
Why is it that, seemingly all at once, so many people are questioning their gender? Why has gender dysphoria become so prevalent? What changed to bring this about? How did schools become involved in it?
Working myself in mental health. So many of the people I see with depression and anxiety can be looked at through a evolutionary lens. People with no role, nothing to protect and provide for, or nurture and care for, disconnected from wider communities and in person contact, disconnected from nature, or simply in constant fight or flight from the onslaught of modern life, deadlines and news cycles.
What can we do as a society, and as individuals, to help our caveman brains be more healthy.
