Four ordinary Americans striking up conversations with opposing views, in a fun, alcohol induced space, Anywhere, in a Bar, in America. With the understanding that as Americans, we can Agree or Disagree but most importantly, we can laugh hysterically, have a great exchange of words, not agree on one…

    La Scapigliata, Author "Born in the Right Body"

    "La Scapigliata" aka Isidora Sanger is the nom-de-plume of a retired medical doctor, also known as "la scapigliata" online. Since 2014, she's been writing about gender identity ideology and campaigning for women's sex-based rights. She believes policies and medical practices should be based on evidence, not ideology. She lives in the UK with her family and a dog." "For over a century, feminists have campaigned for women's sex-based rights, despite the violent backlash from men. They recognized that women's health and well-being, participation in public life and their ability to escape abuse were the most urgent human rights issues affecting the female sex. The backlash from men was carried out in the physical – by using oppression and violence – but it was justified with metaphysical theories about women's brains, a feminine psyche and the innate nature of gender stereotypes. Obscure scientific methods of dubious significance, like phrenology, kept being devised to try and substantiate this empirically.Such methods have been abandoned as quackery, and we now know that none of the assumptions about women on which male supremacy was based were correct. Despite this, the tendency toward justifying discrimination against women and girls has not disappeared with technological advancements in the 21st century. Now, instead of phrenology and fanciful ideas about "wandering wombs", we have brain scans being used to allegedly prove that feminine males and masculine females were "born in the wrong body" and that their psychological distress can be cured by medical and surgical procedures designed to make them resemble the opposite sex.This collection of essays is my testament to the feminists who have campaigned so painfully and courageously, and for so long, and those that continue to fight to this day - and beyond.“Born In the Right Body” can be purchased at Amazon marketplaces. https://www.amazon.com/Born-Right-Body-identity-perspective-ebook/dp/B0BN2FJDTX/An American Conversation Podcast™ has captivating shows, compelling Guests & Controversial Issues!

    Arno Koch Imagine Evolution was founded and is led by Arno Koch, who is a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), a Master Practitioner of Mental & Emotional Release®, and a Hypnotherapist.  Arno is a mechanical engineer by trade and found his passion for coaching and training during his corporate career in the Vorwerk group where he fulfilled roles as an engineer in Germany, Product Manager in Switzerland, and in business development in California.In 2018 he stepped out of the corporate environment. He then focused on his passion for elevating lives as a professional coach. In his work, he helped people progress in their professional lives and noticed that these people also suffered in their relationships. Some even considered divorce. By the end of the coaching program, they were happily in love again.  When Arno noticed that this was not a coincident but a pattern, he analyzed his coaching process and found the reason: He had them practice all his tools and strategies with their partners to make his teachings stick as much as possible: small, step by step actions that led to big results.Arno adjusted his training syllabus just a little bit and brought it in alignment with breakthroughs in his own personal life. This was the starting point of a powerful program to help men and women elevate and even save their relationships.• Arno's individual coaching follows a proven three-step process:• Releasing persistent negative emotions connected to traumatic events or individuals• Elevating self-communication based on the concept of state mastery• Elevating communication with othersHis corporate training is based on the same principles that work with individuals but translated into a format that works for groups. It does not only motivate and inspire but creates real behavioral change that drives collaboration, communication, and overall happiness.  Listen in, be that Fly on the Wall…An American Conversation Podcast™ has captivating shows, compelling Guests & Controversial Issues!

    Speak Up for Women New Zealand With Katrina Biggs & Suzanne Levy There are lots of times when sex doesn't matter, we encourage freedom of gender expression & want our children to grow up without narrow definitions of what it means to be a woman or a man. But sometimes sex really does matter, & this is where we are focused.   Our group includes teachers, academics, health professionals, care workers, activists, lawyers, retirees, students, mums, aunties, sisters, & daughters.  We are run entirely by volunteers & receive no public funds or funds from external organizations. We are not affiliated with any political party or religious organization. We would love to hear from anyone interested in supporting what we do. Speak Up for Women is a diverse group of women, but we have a set of core principles that we follow. These principles form the basis of how we represent our causes & who we partner. Women are adult human females; girls are human female children. Women & girls have the right to live free of violence, including sexual, physical, & emotional. Women & girls have the right to organize & gather in safe, sex-segregated spaces. Women & girls have the right to reproductive sovereignty. Women & girls have the right to live free from commercial sexual exploitation. Women & girls have the right to economic independence, pay equity, & living wages. Lesbians are exclusively same-sex attracted females & have the right to assert their same-sex attraction without facing harassment. ‘Sex' refers to the biological characteristics that distinguish males from females. Sex is immutable. ‘Gender' refers to the stereotyped roles, behaviors, & attributes that society at a given time considers appropriate for males & females. ​Katrina Biggs & Suzanne Levy Spokeswomen for “Speak Up for Women NZ” https://www.speakupforwomen.nz https://www.facebook.com/SpeakUp4WomenNZ Don't forget to Like Share Subscribe & Donate to Support Women's Voices in America & around the World. #WomensVoicesUnite on An American Conversation Podcast™.

So, this is more reason to invite you to travel with Linda and I and all the women who successfully and proudly journeyed with us throughout the pages of our book. I write about our book because it's very much a part of who I came to be, how my life journey unknowingly prepared me to be able to tackle Unsilencing the Truth about the violent lives of Girls & Women while exposing the MO of those who thought they could forever manipulate society – they didn't know that I learned at age three how to understand the manipulation tactics of a violent father. So, this is my story. Linda MacDonald, I have been fighting patriarchy since before I was born. My father kicked my mother down a flight of stairs when she was pregnant with me. I survived! My youngest memory is of me at age two knowing my father hurting my mother and I the night before was wrong. This little girl awareness set me on a path of fighting violence against women and girls for my whole life. I will be speaking out till my last breath! Today I stand with Jeanne Sarson as we expose the grave form of violence and human rights violation of non-State torture (NST) – the torture and trafficking of women and children by the everyday perpetrator. Jeanne and I have learned much about the MO of these so far mostly invisible torturer-traffickers.

Dr. Ray Blanchard was Head of Clinical Sexology Services in the Law and Mental Health Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, Ontario from 1995 to 2010. He is currently an adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. He holds dual citizenship in the United States and Canada. He received his A.B. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1967 and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1973. He then took up a Killam Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded by Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he remained until 1976, investigating learning processes in animals. In 1976 he accepted a position as a clinical psychologist at the Ontario Correctional Institute in Brampton, Ontario. While there, he made the acquaintance of the prominent sex researcher Kurt Freund, M.D., D.Sc., who introduced him to research on paraphilias, gender identity disorders, and sexual orientation. Blanchard joined the Gender Identity Clinic at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry (now part of the CAMH) in 1980. Much of his research in the next 15 years concerned transsexualism and milder forms of gender identity disorders. In 1995, he was appointed Head of the newly created Clinical Sexology Services at the CAMH. This unit comprised the Gender Identity Clinic and the Kurt Freund Laboratory. This laboratory is the oldest in North America for the psychophysiological assessment of erotic interests in sexual offenders and other men with problematic sexual behavior. This type of assessment (variously called phallometric testing or penile plethysmography) is one of the few available procedures for diagnosing paraphilias in sexual offenders who verbally deny anomalous erotic interests. He retired from the CAMH in 2010. In 2004, he served as President of the International Academy of Sex Research. From 2008–2012 he was a member of the Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Work Group for the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. He was an Associate Editor of Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment from 2003–2010, and he has been a member of the Editorial Board of the Archives of Sexual Behavior since 1990. In 2010, he received a Significant Achievement Award from the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, and in 2017, he received the Richard Green Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Academy of Sex Research..

    Mr. Scott Newgent is a forty-nine-year-old transgender man and parent to three teenagers. Before transitioning, Scott was known as Kellie King, a dynamic, powerful advertising executive, who acquired countless honors, awards, and accolades. At age 42, Kellie made an ill-fated decision that would turn her world upside down.  She transitioned to a transman, to become Scott Newgent.  Scott endured medical complications after medical complications due to a lower-than-average transgender healthcare system. Which alarmed him from the beginning of this journey. As Scott began to recover from several near-death experiences, he devoted himself to researching all materials relating to the transgender healthcare system. What Scott discovered infuriated him! Not only was the international transgender healthcare system(s) sub-par but that those working closely within those systems were urgently pressing children (and their families) to transition medically. To his dismay those medical organizations & physicians are hardly ever held to account when medical/psychological issues arise. The concern and outrage propelled Scott to become one of the fastest-rising international transgender leaders of today. He founded TRevoices - TRans Rational Educational Voices - which advances the viewpoint that all involved in the transgender movement, including but not limited to, medical professionals, should always Speak the Truth, Acknowledge Reality, and Support/Advocate/Care for ALL who are affected by Transgenderism. Through this experience, trauma & educational journey, Scott has stated that he would not have transitioned but does accept the decisions he has made! Scott Newgent believes in living the life you have but never, and he means never, forget to SCREAM!

    Linda Blade is a former National Champion of Canada in track & field (heptathlon) with a PhD in Kinesiology. For the past 26 years, she has run a private consulting business as “Sport Performance Professional” coach in Edmonton, Alberta working with athletes in over 15 sports (beginner to elite). Since 2014, Linda has also served as President of the Board for Athletics Alberta, where she has a duty to represent the province of Alberta at Canadian national sport policy meetings.  In a bid to increase public awareness of the threat posed by gender ideology, Linda has partnered with journalist Barbara Kay to author a new book, titled: UNSPORTING: How Trans Activism and Science Denial are Destroying Sport. Radical gender activists are using a pseudoscientific theory of human biology to hijack sports and subvert the long-established concepts of fair play — forcing women and girls to risk their safety, pushing them aside for male athletes using the excuse of “inclusivity.” Anyone who questions this dogma risks being branded as a transphobe and having their social and professional lives “cancelled”. In the new book, Unsporting: How Trans Activism and Science Denial are Destroying Sport, former Canadian track champion Linda Blade and renowned National Post columnist Barbara Kay, examine the dangers of gender ideology in sports. They document the attack on biological facts upon which the level playing field of sports rests. Tackling issues few have the courage to say out loud, Unsporting shows the harm inflicted on female athletes, and identifies the institutions driving this movement. What does the future hold for sports if biological reality is ignored? Blade answers that question and concludes with a reasonable plan to reverse course.

    Here's some scintillating background information on Lisa:  After growing up in various northeastern and southwestern college towns, I moved to New York City when I was 21 and had no idea what to do with my degree in experimental feminist video (good thing I went to college for free). My brother offered me a room in his East Village hovel, and my first career was in film/TV (here are some props I made when I worked at Blue's Clues), but I was always obsessed with the relationship between the built environment and emotional experience: I wanted to know how architecture could help form community. So I enrolled first in a Ph.D. program in environmental psychology. Then, fearing that I'd get another degree like the one in experimental feminist video, I transferred to a Master's in Urban Planning Program. Then one night my brother sat me down on his roof and said, "If you want to be a writer, why are you going to urban planning school?" So I became a writer, now of two novels and about 600 essays and articles about film and travel and the environment and real estate and parenting, for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Yahoo, and many other publications. My first non-fiction book, TOMBOY: The Surprising History and Future of Girls* Who Dare to Be Different, is out now.  I'm repped by the wonderful agent Eve Attermann at WME. http://www.lisaselindavis.com/lisa Has a conversation with the Gang!
