Manual Creating Atheists Peter Boghossian

At the Genspect conference, Peter guides writer Meghan Murphy, attorney Erin Friday, author Anita Bartholomew, and psychiatrist Dr. Lauren Schwartz through a live epistemology exercise on whether trans identity should be pathologized, removed from the DSM, treated as a symptom of underlying conditions, or none of the above. The conversation forces participants to steel-man positions they reject, exposing the conceptual incoherence of "gender dysphoria" as a diagnostic category and raising difficult and complex questions about delusions, subjective sexual preferences, diagnoses, and the purpose of the DSM. What emerges is not consensus, but genuine belief revision: Minds change in real time when argument, evidence, and reason demand it.
