Episode 49, featuring Stella O'Malley
<p>If your family was stricken by gender ideology prior to 2020, it might have felt like an apocalypse had come just for you. The world outside acted as if everything was normal! It was <strong>always</strong> the case that some people were born in the wrong bodies, and we’ve all known this for like, ever. Well today your child was discovered to be a wrong-bodied person too! All your friends and neighbors will now join you in celebration while multidisciplined experts apply their special knowledge to the task of authenticizing your daughter’s body and mind. Thereafter, <strong>his </strong>marvelous, invisible birth defect will be history — just not the kind of history that can ever be spoken of. </p><p>I know I sometimes exaggerate but I haven’t yet done so today. The impact of this bespoke apocalypse on parents calls for words I don’t think exist, but “brutalizing” and “isolating” will do for a start. The lucky ones will have had at least one other adult, ideally a spouse, as a trusted confidante and ally, but even the strongest, most sympathetic spouse would never defeat an apocalypse. </p><p>No, that would be a job for a turbo-charged red-headed Irish psychotherapist with a very particular skill set, a highly disarming laugh and a pair — metaphorically speaking — of giant brass balls. It’s a massive honor to have Stella O’Malley here for what will be the penultimate episode of this podcast. </p><p>Even if all she gave us were those excellent 205 “GWL” episodes, Stella would have earned a spot on my personal Mt. Rushmore now and forever — but the podcast was only the beginning. Next she took on WPATH (the World Professional Association for Transgender Health), the faux medical society that had effectively hypnotized institutions of trust across the developed world with the aim of reprogramming humanity to submit to the misanthropic nihilism of Queer Theory. WPATH had plenty of help from the tragically confused kindness brigade, plus untold millions of dollars and a 20- or 30- year head start. Stella had no army and no resources other than her training and knowledge of human psychology plus common sense, compassion, resolve and courage to spare. </p><p>Notes from the discussion:</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://genspect.org/">Genspect.org</a> has information and resources for anyone confronting gender ideology in any of its forms</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Gender-Framework-Comprehensive-Evidence-Based-Professionals/dp/1634312848">The Gender Framework</a> is available in paperback and highly recommended.</p><p>This is my draft poster for the event I’d love to see at Genspect’s next conference. L<strong>eave a comment if you agree its time has come!</strong></p><p>The last link needs no introduction — just a gift from me to you. You’re welcome!</p><p></p><p>Credits:</p><p>Theme music by William A. Ferguson</p><p>UnMuted logo art by Anne Gibbons</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Episode 48, featuring Amy Sousa
<p>Photo: Amy and me following her talk at WDI-USA’s 2024 conference in Atlanta</p><p>It’s a real thrill to have Amy Sousa on the show. The night before we recorded this I stayed up until 1am re-watching her TwiX and YouTube videos until I had to force myself to quit for the night. I’ll interject audio from two of my favorites into this episode. </p><p>Here’s some bio taken from Amy’s website:</p><p>As a modern-day gender abolitionist and women’s rights activist, it’s my mission to educate, protect, & inspire others to question the norm, create healthy boundaries, and to trust their instincts.</p><p>As an educator, writer, and creator, I am dedicated to helping women and others build emotional and psychological skills to support a confident, grounded life.</p><p>I hold a Master’s degree in Depth Psychology* and I’ve spent years studying the internal landscapes that shape how we think, feel and navigate the world. My work focuses on instincts, embodiment, safeguarding, and emotional skill-building. I cleanly translate complex topics into clear, practical tools anyone can use.</p><p>To quote LGBCC’s Bev Talbott, <strong>Boy howdy!</strong> Does she ever.</p><p>Readers, I respect that some of you strongly prefer reading to listening, but I urge you to make an exception this time and skip the transcript in favor of this lively, fully-embodied conversation. We recorded it four days ago on February 11th, and I hurried to get it ready to post while the awful-yet-unsurprising news events we discussed are still front of mind and not yet exhaustively biopsied. Amy has a way of pointing out facets of human behavior and motivations that hadn’t yet occurred to us.</p><p>Links:</p><p>Follow Amy Sousa at her website <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theknownheretic.com/">The Known Heretic</a></p><p>Video: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theknownheretic.com/p/canadian-trans-school-shooting?r=l5fbr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">Canadian Trans School Shooting</a> The Known Heretic Substack 2/11/26</p><p>Video: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theknownheretic.com/p/shocking-high-school-girl-sexually?r=l5fbr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">High School Girl [Wrestler] Sexually Assaulted </a>The Known Heretic Substack 2/10/26</p><p>Video: <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/knownheretic/p/parent-consent-in-schools?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer">Parent Consent in Schools!</a> The Known Heretic Substack 2/3/26</p><p>Related written post: <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/knownheretic/p/the-glamorization-of-violence-against?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer">The Glamorization of Violence Against Women</a> The Known Heretic Substack 3/17/23</p><p>Written post: <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/knownheretic/p/my-journey-with-breast-cancer?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer">My Journey with Breast Cancer</a>: Breast Cancer as a Lens for Embodiment vs Dissociation OR Sex-Based Medicine vs "Gender Affirming Care."

Episode 47, featuring Wesley Yang
<p></p><p></p><p>I’m honored to have Wesley Yang here today. Wesley became a publishing sensation when his first book of essays, The Souls of Yellow Folk, came out in hardback in 2018 to much well-deserved acclaim. Not long after that, he learned just enough about the gathering storm that was gender ideology to become well and thoroughly peaked. Instead of keeping his head down to preserve his status as a media darling favored by the gatekeepers of the New York publishing world, he chose the precise opposite path and began speaking and writing furiously about the issue that brings us all here, using language that was eloquent, clear, urgent, and refreshingly un-sugar-coated. For an early ‘trans’ skeptic like me, Wesley’s position carried extra weight. Here was a respected cultural observer sounding the alarm absent any direct personal stake in the story. If anything, he had a stake in pretending there was nothing to see here, in the manner of almost all his peers in publishing and media. So few people in any profession were speaking up that Wesley’s fearlessness made him a hero among parents like me.I connected with him on Twitter in 2021 and went on to write two pieces for his Substack, Year Zero. The first one concerned my mostly one-sided correspondence with Chris Hayes of MSNBC. That piece became the catalyst for my own Substack, TransMuted, which can’t have done much to turn the tide but has done a world of good for my own personal sanity. I’ll always credit Wesley for that early encouragement and more broadly for the sacrifice he made to speak up for our daughters and sons before almost anyone one else would.</p><p>We cover a lot of ground, including the pending Supreme Court cases, Lia Thomas vs. what’s-before-your-very-eyes, DIAG vs. Illinois, Fox Varian’s big win, Moulton, Newsom, and my current obsession: Brian Lehrer and WNYC vs. Michael Shermer and “Mabel from Trenton.” Enjoy!</p><p>Links:</p><p>Read <a target="_blank" href="https://a.co/d/0azKAEbI">The Souls of Yellow Folk</a>, by Wesley Yang, in paperback —or <a target="_blank" href="https://a.co/d/05bvgm55">listen to it on Audible</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/wesleyyang/p/what-is-chris-thinking?r=l5fbr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">What is Chris Thinking?</a>, written by me for Year Zero with an intro by Wesley</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.broadview.news/p/the-media-has-gender-derangement?r=l5fbr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">Lisa Selin Davis’s Broadview post</a> with the link to the Brian Lehrer show audio. Listen all the way to the end, then come back and comment here, because this is a safe space.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/wesyang">Be Wesley’s 175, 815th follower on X!</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/trans_muted">Be my 115th follower on X!</a></p><p>Credits:</p><p>Theme music by William A.
