If you listen to his debates, it's always based on the old and tired 'chromosomes' and 'basic biology' arguments that an uninformed teenager would use. We all know by now that it's much more complicated than that. Obviously Ben Shapiro is smart enough to know this if he did any amount of research (he graduated from Harvard Law!). But he's also smart enough to know who his target audience is, so he continues to spread lies about transgender people.
