Part 4/8:
Cryer, who has had a longstanding career in Hollywood, seemed to represent a counterbalance to Maher's staunch views. He pointed out that many people within society are genuinely accepting of the complexities of gender and that rigid views surrounding gender identity might be outdated. He suggested that societal norms fluctuate, much like past views on left-handedness.
Cryer also remarked on the potential for younger generations to embrace trans identities without the severe societal backlash that might have previously occurred. Despite this, his attempts to interject nuance into the discussion were met with resistance from Maher, who expressed frustration at what he perceived as a lack of understanding regarding the nature of gender identity.
