Forrest Valkai has finally updated his "Sex and Sensibility" video from three years ago

A while back, he made his first long-form essay video pointing out how biological sex has never been, and cannot be, rigidly defined by strict binary categories. But he didn't bother to differentiate between sex and gender.

That video was ~30 minutes.

Last night (21 February, 2025) he premiered an updated version, where he starts out talking about biological and chromosomal sex, but then goes on to differentiate those things from gender, and gender from gender expression, and all of that from sexuality and queer identities, and talks about how none of it can be fit into strict binaries.

The new video is ~100 minutes.

This TTRPG campaign can be watched on Forrest Valkai's YouTube channel and is a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders

ID: A digital drawing of a train car filled with 6 people and a dog. In the back right is Gwen Copperplate, a white woman with brown hair, glasses, a purple vest, and a cool grey shirt. She leans forward, resting her face on her hands, as she looks towards a dog. Opposite her is Dr. Victor Vindeca, a white man with dark brown hair and a green suit. He is looking through a duffel bag. Next to him sits Eloise van der Graff, a yellow tiefling with bright orange hair. She wears white flowing robes which barely cover her. Opposite her sits Ritha Janis, a black person with curly blonde hair, a dark grey stripped suit jacket, a white shirt, a red ascot, and red pants. Between Ritha and Eloise stands a dark grey dog with white feet which looks up at Gwen. Next to Ritha sits Azad, an arab man with brown hair and a curly mustache who is wearing a blue and orange turban, blue robes, and orange clothes underneath that. He wears a lot of jewelry. Across from him sits Kirke Counterfire, a gold dragonborne woman with dark hair who has gauged ears, a red skirt, a red corset, and a brown shirt which has a mix of mesh and opaque materials. End ID

"What is a Woman" is a Silly Question

@sciencetynan If you're feeling down, I came across a video by a youtuber I follow about mtf trans positivity that I think you might enjoy. :)

"It's the exact kind of not-thinking you'd expect to hear from somebody who's spent his entire career as a magician whose only trick is turning mundane news stories into white supremacist dog-whistles."

I don't know if that beats my current favourite Forrest Valkai quote*, but it's close.

*"He's a difficult man to underestimate."

In any case- Forrest Valkai is awesome, and I've learned a ton about biology and evolution from his videos.

This is a long video (about 1 hour 40 minutes). But I learned so much! Forrest presents this information in such an engaging way. And everyone needs this information. It will probably help you understand yourself better.
