“Homosexual heterodorkery”: Angus Fox on the Heterodorx podcast

Corinna and Nina invited Genspect’s own Angus Fox onto the Heterodorx podcast, to discuss why Genspect was set up, the conflation of sexuality and gender identity, and the role of masculinity in shaping young men’s trajectories.

The Dorx welcome funny and charming writer Angus Fox, whose recent work focuses on the transing of boys. Because they both have described their younger selves as the type of boy likely to identify as trans today, Nina asks why Corinna transitioned and Angus did not. This begins a discussion of the influence of internet chatrooms and media, how masculine men exclude their effeminate brothers, and the role of girls in transing boys. Angus wonders how much misogynistic genderism is explained by the prevalence of porn, and how much is because boys are idiots. Nina goes out on a limb and claims men are human, while Corinna and Angus further alienate our feminist listeners by blaming women for “gender woo.” It’s a refreshing twist on the usual “kill all the men” sentiment, and as heterodorx as two homosexual men can be.
