On this episode, the Satanic Skeptic shines an infernal light on the controversy rocking the skeptic community- the question of whether biological sex and gender are binaries. As a scientific skeptic, and a trans woman, someone who has seen so-called critical thinkers make jokes of trans athletes, spread misinformation and pseudoscience, fan the flames of fear and anxiety, and call for the criminalization of gender affirming care that twice impeached, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist Donald Trump has promised, this episode is a grand declaration of war. It as educational as it is aggressive. It explains while it accuses and affirms while it condemns. Friendlier, more even tempered versions were submitted to Skeptical Inquirer magazine, and rejected for publication. So now, the gloves are off and the fangs are bared. Either you believe trans rights are human rights, or you're on the wrong side of the future.

Netflix's latest documentary, The Devil on Trial, tells the story of David Glatzel who infamous con artists-er, I mean, demonologists- Ed and Lorraine Warren convinced the Glatzel family was possessed. When a young man named Arne Johnson convinces the demon to take him instead, the Warrens claim the evil drove Johnson to commit murder. The ensuing court case and media blitz would be known as the "devil made me do it" case and became a cash cow for the Warrens with their book The Devil in Connecticut and later part of the Conjuring franchise. But what really happened? Were the Warrens fighting the forces of evil, or exploiting a family to line their own pockets? Warlock Sword, the Satanic Skeptic, will give you the rundown.

Each is necessary for the other to exist; but each must be recognized for what it is."
