Hint: It's right in the belly of the beast and we want to see you there. All will be revealed soon. And just when we thought the trans madness was dying in the UK, we discover that the Dr Frankensteins/Mengeles of the world are alive and well in that country's National Health Service. They want to recruit 250 humans for gender experiments.Oh but don't worry, these patients/victims will be at least at the ripe old age of 10, and totally understand what they're in for. Of course they can give informed consent. Not. Watch the Scoop this week to hear about the latest attack on children whose bodies are being destroyed on the altar of progress. And our home country of Ireland is constantly proving that it is the most anti-Semitic country in Europe.

According to the DMV - she is a danger. If it's true, then how did hundreds of thousands of Indian immigrants get truck driving licenses when they obviously were not qualified?

The Texas Tech University System restricted how professors can discuss race and gender in the classroom Monday, banning content that advocates for one race or sex as “inherently superior to another,” according to a memo sent by Chancellor Brandon Creighton to the system's presidents. In other news, the Texas attorney general is investigating global retailer Shein for potentially violating Texas law. Ken Paxton is looking into Shein US Services LLC Corp. and its affiliates for possibly breaking statutes related to unethical labor practices and the sale of unsafe consumer products; eight people were arrested Friday after the Collin County Sheriff's Office busted an alleged cockfighting operation in the Farmersville area, a sting that occurred during the opening week of the illicit cockfighting season; and if you are planning to travel through DFW International Airport or Dallas Love Field without a REAL ID, you could pay a $45 fee. Starting Feb. 1, travelers who do not present acceptable identification and still want to fly will be given an option to pay the fee to use “TSA Confirm.ID”, an alternative identification system.

In this conversation, host David Bryan speaks with Dr. Tracie Canada about her recent book, which explores the intersection of race, gender, and college football. They discuss the unique experiences of Black college football players, the implications of a Black feminist perspective, and the importance of community and care among players. The conversation highlights the exploitation faced by student-athletes and the broader societal issues impacting their lives. Canada discusses the intricate dynamics of college athletics, focusing on the bonds formed among players, the challenges they face in balancing education and sports, and the systemic issues within the NCAA. She emphasizes the importance of brotherhood among athletes, the complexities of their educational experiences, and potential solutions to improve their circumstances, including unionization and cost-sharing. The conversation also critiques the term 'student-athlete' and advocates for a more honest representation of their roles within the collegiate sports system. Big-time college football promises prestige, drama, media attention, and money. Yet most athletes in this unpaid, amateur system encounter a different reality, facing dangerous injuries, few pro-career opportunities, a free but devalued college education, and future financial instability. In one of the first ethnographies about Black college football players, anthropologist Tracie Canada reveals the ways young athletes strategically resist the exploitative systems that structure their everyday lives.Tackling the Everyday shows how college football particularly harms the young Black men who are overrepresented on gridirons across the country. Although coaches and universities constantly invoke the misleading "football family" narrative, this book describes how a brotherhood among Black players operates alongside their caring mothers, who support them on and off the field. With a Black feminist approach—one that highlights often-overlooked voices—Canada exposes how race, gender, kinship, and care shape the lives of the young athletes who shoulder America's favorite gameDr. Tracie Canada is a socio-cultural anthropologist whose ethnographic research uses sport to theorize race, kinship and care, gender, and the performing body. Her work focuses on the lived experiences of Black football players. Canada is the Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology & Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University. I'm also the founder and director of the Health, Ethnography, and Race through Sports (HEARTS) Lab.Her research has been supported by various agencies, including the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.In addition to her academic writing, her work has been featured in public venues and outlets like The Museum of Modern Art, TIME, The Guardian, and Scientific American.

In this episode, we unpack what happens when an adult in a position of authority chooses “respect” over real understanding, and how that choice shapes a transgender child's daily experience. A recent school meeting revealed just how much harm comes from assumptions, unchecked bias, and a teacher's refusal to learn about gender, even after years of knowing a student.If you're taking something away from our podcast, we'd appreciate it if you'd take a moment to provide us with a review; the more listeners and reviews, the more people we can reach and support.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Lucy Biggers, a former climate activist who has undergone a remarkable transformation. Lucy shares her journey from being deeply entrenched in climate activism and suffering from climate anxiety to becoming a voice of reason who now creates content to calm people's environmental fears.We explore how documentaries like "An Inconvenient Truth" and her work at NowThis News shaped her initial worldview, and what specific moments during the COVID pandemic made her question the climate movement's demands. Lucy reveals how becoming a mother changed her perspective on the future and why she now advocates for climate realism over alarmism. We discuss the psychological appeal of climate catastrophism, the actual data on extreme weather and climate-related deaths, and how young people are being affected by environmental anxiety.This conversation examines the intersection of environmental concerns with mental health, exploring how catastrophic thinking about climate can impact life decisions about family, career, and personal wellbeing. Lucy offers a refreshing perspective on why humanity's future might be brighter than many believe, and why gratitude for human progress is essential for mental health.Lucy Biggers makes content to calm climate anxiety on her social media and is the Head of Social Media at The Free Press.

In this special episode, created by one of our student podcast fellows, NYU student Sajini Kodituwakku interviews Rosanne Kennedy, a clinical assistant professor at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Sajini speaks with Rosanne about her unconventional career path and how it informed her research and teaching interests. Together, they ask questions about career paths, what career stability looks like, and how we can imagine a thoughtful and fulfilling approach to life and work.Rosanne Kennedy is a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where she teaches and researches modern political theory, contemporary feminist theory, gender studies, continental philosophy, and Rousseau studies. Her dissertation, Rousseau and the Perversion of Gender, was awarded the Hannah Arendt prize for the Best Dissertation in Politics from the New School and the Best Dissertation in Women and Politics from the American Political Science Association. Her first book, Rousseau in Drag: Deconstructing Gender, was published by Palgrave in 2012. Her new book project, The Politics of Home: The New Domesticity and the Resurgence of Craft, tracks the affective and political dimensions of meanings of home, domesticity and craft and how such meanings are inflected by not only gender but sexuality, class, and race. She is especially interested in the leaky and porous boundaries between the intimate and the public, the longing for attachment alongside the desire to remain detached (refusing recognition and interpellation) and renewed interests in the haptic as a mode of thinking. At Gallatin, she teaches courses on democracy, the politics of home and the politics of work, and feminist political theory.

It's the last place any woman anticipates ever landing, but far too often, a woman's shelter is the only haven for mothers and children fleeing abuse at home. Linda Dröfn Gunnarsdóttir is the executive director of the Association for Women's Shelters in Iceland. Linda's reputation as an innovator and leader landed her on the BBC 100 Women to Watch list — a listing reserved for women around the world making a difference for others. We talk with Linda about Iceland being globally celebrated as a woman's paradise due to policies that advance equality, when every day she sees women victims of gender-based violence forced into homelessness.
Gender confusion doesn't begin in the body, it begins in the mind. And the way kids think is shaped by the worldview they're given. In today's episode of Raising Gender-Confident Kids, Wayne and Dr. Kathy unpack Chapter 4 of Raising Gender-Confident Kids and explain how worldview becomes the lens through which kids interpret reality, identity, feelings, and truth. They explore why kids need a worldview big enough to handle disappointment, how emotions can hijack decision-making, and why mentoring kids through the Five Core Needs builds clarity instead of confusion. Practical, deep, and hope-filled, this episode will help you guide your kids to see themselves the way God sees them.
Abby and Patrick are joined by therapist and sexuality educator Lucie Fielding. First, the three talk about Lucie's path to clinical work and the significance of her book, Trans Sex, just out in a revised Second Edition. They then turn to Freud's classic, Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905), putting that text, and the broader legacy of Freud's views on sexuality, in dialogue with contemporary questions of trans embodiment and sexual identity. This means reckoning with the ways that Freud's account of sexual development is alternately retrograde and radical, both of his time and far ahead of it. The three focus in particular on Freud's idea of “polymorphous perversity,” and the ambiguities of his distinction between “sexual object” and “sexual aim,” exploring how Freud's vision of human sexuality as radically contingent and plastic may offer possibilities for thinking constructively and more inclusively about pleasure and the diverse range of human sexual expression.Lucie's website is here: https://luciefielding.com/The new edition of Trans Sex is here: https://www.routledge.com/Trans-Sex-Nurturing-Trans-Erotic-Embodiment-and-Gender-Pleasure/Fielding/p/book/9781032737218Lucie's recommended reading includes:Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini, Gender Without IdentityJosé Esteban Muñoz, Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer FuturityTourmaline, Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P.

Today I am both excited and frightened to talk with Tamara Kneese and Xiaowei Wang, two individuals whose research, writing, and activism has for years insisted on the materiality of the technologies that have brought us things like artificial intelligence, the Cloud, data centers, and digital agriculture. They explain why and how these technologies clothe themselves in ethereal garb and notions of a frictionless, beneficent capitalism while diverting attention from the vast natural and human resources they plunder to make a profit, and colonize more and more land, water, and minerals. We move from corrective histories and analyses to case histories that show how these technologies materialize in settler colonial practices, and end decisively on stories of how people are fighting back, and creating alternate software, hardware, and cultural and social practices that offer a window onto a much less violent and dismal world than the one technofascism wants us to be hypnotized by. Here, we set to break that spell.Tamara Kneese directs Data & Society Research Institute's Climate, Justice, and Technology program and previously led the Algorithmic Impact Methods Lab. Before joining D&S, she was director of developer engagement on the Green Software team at Intel and assistant professor of Media Studies and director of Gender and Sexualities Studies at the University of San Francisco. She is the author of Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond (Yale University Press, 2023), co-author of Notes Toward a Digital Workers' Inquiry (Common Notions Press, 2025), and the co-editor of The New Death: Mortality and Death Care in the Twenty-First Century (School for Advanced Research/University of New Mexico Press, 2022). Her work has been published in academic journals including Social Text, Social Media + Society, and the International Journal of Communication and in popular outlets such as Wired, The Verge, and The Baffler. Her research has been supported by the Internet Society Foundation, National Science Foundation, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Mellon Foundation, and the American Council of Learned Societies. Xiaowei R. Wang is an artist, writer, organizer and coder. They are the author of the book Blockchain Chicken Farm: And Other Stories of Tech In China's Countryside, a 2023 National Book Foundation Science and Literature Award winner. Their multidisciplinary work over the past 15 years sits at the intersection of tech, digital media, art, and environmental justice. Currently, they are a Mancosh Fellow at Northwestern University and one of the stewards of Collective Action School (formerly known as Logic School), an organizing community for tech workers. In 2024 they were a Eyebeam Democracy Machine Fellow, which supported their work with forms of soft data storage and transmission using textiles.
Taylor McCall's The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe (Reaktion, 2023) is the first history of medieval European anatomical images. Richly illustrated, The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe explores the many ways in which medieval surgeons, doctors, monks, and artists understood and depicted human anatomy. Taylor McCall refutes the common misconception that Renaissance artists and anatomists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius were the fathers of anatomy who performed the first human dissections. On the contrary, she argues that these Renaissance figures drew upon centuries of visual and written tradition in their works.

本次錄音分為上下集,上集以主持人 Zukkim 的博士論文為基礎,探討台灣同志子女與家人之間「出櫃」的複雜歷程。每個人與家人間的互動是很私密及複雜的,本集中提到的故事僅提供同志朋友參考,讓大家有更多腳本可以面對不同狀況。 核心觀點:出櫃不是一次性的「告知」,而是「和解的過程」。Zukkim 研究發現,主流文化中將出櫃視為「告知」,並不完全符合現實。例如,家人在這個「被告知」的過程中可能感到困惑,也可能會當作沒發生過,導致同志需要重複對家人訴說。 另一個迷思:「出櫃就是誠實面對自己」。Zukkim 發現,許多主流論述將出櫃等於唯一誠實面對自己的方式,或是主張出櫃會使你人生豁然開朗,但她的台灣同志研究顯示,這些論述在台灣並不完全適用,也可能造成同志的壓力和自我批評。 在親子的互動上一個錯誤的預設:在出櫃過程前,或是過程中,有時同志朋友會做出一系列的舉動旁敲側擊父母是否接受同志身份,但預測跟實際情況有時差很多。 回到「和解」的概念:出櫃比較像應是一個「和解」的過程。一開始,同志與家人間發現兩方對於人生規畫有不一樣的想像,因此想要拉近彼此對於這個想像的距離。在這過程中,雙方會用不同的方式讓對方理解自己的想法與現況,包括用個人經歷、朋友經驗、權威的說法等等。此外,有時人生中的生離死別,可能會使家長或是同志子女認為出櫃或同志身份不再那麼重要了。 主持人強調,和解的過程是讓雙方將認知差異調整到一個能夠接受的範圍,至於能不能達到這個目標,就得看天時地利人和,以及對自己和家人的了解和溝通。 閱讀 Zukkim 張竹芩的博士論文:『“She Did Not Come Out, But We’ve Come to Terms” -- Family Reconciliation of Challenged Expectations When a Young Adult Child is Gender and Sexual Minority/Tongzhi: Multiple Perspectives』(University of Texas at Austin, 2019). 台灣同志諮詢熱線協會所提供的相關資源:出櫃夥伴相談室|出櫃聊天機器人:m.me/TaiwanHotline?ref=entry_07打開櫃子說亮話|出櫃晤談室(1對1諮詢預約表單):forms.gle/7VgwmXSfKhVVPLtWA同志諮詢專線:02-2392-1970 (每週一四五六日 19:00 - 22:00)父母諮詢(由同志父母接聽):02-2392-1970(每週二 18:00 - 21:00、每週四 14:00 - 17:00) 《Z色派對》由鬼島之音 Ghost Island Media 製作、出品 主持 - ZUKKIM 張竹芩 & ZOE 李菁琪 製作 - Zack監製 - Emily Y.

續上一集對於「出櫃」的想像以及「和解」的過程,這集要接續討論在親子在這過程中的挑戰: 「LGBTQ」身份會成為的阻礙:描述這些身份所使用的語言,對父母來說可能是很陌生的,因此會導致父母覺得他們更加不認識自己的小孩,因此適當地使用這些身份用詞是很重要的。 雙方都覺得對方握有決定權:在彼此共識上有分歧的情況下,很多時候彼此都認為是對方握有決定權:同志小孩怕不被家長接受,而家長也怕小孩不接受他們的接受。 「接受」的定義:對彼此來說,怎麼樣的「接受」也是需要時間探索。例如,對同志小孩來說,他們希望家長是情緒、認知、行為、還是態度的接受?家長的接受又是以什麼方式表達?或是家長希望自己的孩子如何跟自己相處,才算是和解? 在決定與家長出櫃之前,主持人建議同志可以先為自己以及家長準備好相關資源,幫助雙方在出櫃過程中可以達到「和解」。這個過程或許是永無止境的,但在過程中,可以想清楚並調整自己能接受的範圍。 閱讀 Zukkim 張竹芩的博士論文:『“She Did Not Come Out, But We’ve Come to Terms” -- Family Reconciliation of Challenged Expectations When a Young Adult Child is Gender and Sexual Minority/Tongzhi: Multiple Perspectives』(University of Texas at Austin, 2019). 台灣同志諮詢熱線協會所提供的相關資源:出櫃夥伴相談室|出櫃聊天機器人:m.me/TaiwanHotline?ref=entry_07打開櫃子說亮話|出櫃晤談室(1對1諮詢預約表單):forms.gle/7VgwmXSfKhVVPLtWA同志諮詢專線:02-2392-1970 (每週一四五六日 19:00 - 22:00)父母諮詢(由同志父母接聽):02-2392-1970(每週二 18:00 - 21:00、每週四 14:00 - 17:00) 《Z色派對》由鬼島之音 Ghost Island Media 製作、出品 主持 - ZUKKIM 張竹芩 & ZOE 李菁琪 製作 - Zack監製 - Emily Y.

Taylor McCall's The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe (Reaktion, 2023) is the first history of medieval European anatomical images. Richly illustrated, The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe explores the many ways in which medieval surgeons, doctors, monks, and artists understood and depicted human anatomy. Taylor McCall refutes the common misconception that Renaissance artists and anatomists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius were the fathers of anatomy who performed the first human dissections. On the contrary, she argues that these Renaissance figures drew upon centuries of visual and written tradition in their works.

In this episode of War & Peace, Elissa and guest host Alissa de Carbonnel are joined by Sabine Freizer Gunes, UN Women representative for Ukraine, about how the war in Ukraine has shaped and amplified gender inequalities in Ukraine and how women and women's organisations are responding. They discuss the mood in Ukraine as it enters its fourth winter of full-scale war and the toll the conflict is taking on women from higher rates of sexual and gender-based violence, mounting mental health pressures and economic insecurity. They explore how women are navigating both the challenges and opportunities the war has created, how the Ukrainian government is addressing these issues, and how women's organisations are affected by aid cuts. As Crisis Group marks its 30th anniversary, they also discuss how women's roles in politics and peacemaking in Ukraine and beyond are evolving amid a global pushback against gender equality and women's rights.For more, check out our Gender and Conflict and Ukraine pages.

Teenagers today are more "connected" than ever—and also more alone than ever. In this episode, I break down what researchers are calling a teenage loneliness epidemic and how it's quietly shaping our kids' emotional, social, and spiritual health. Large global studies show that about 1 in 9 adolescents worldwide report feeling lonely "most of the time" or "always." Long-term data also shows that by 2018, high loneliness levels in adolescents had nearly doubled compared to 2012. In the U.S., young people hold some of the highest loneliness rates of any age group, with one national report showing 61% of young adults experiencing "serious loneliness." We'll also get into the conversation around a "male loneliness epidemic." Some recent findings show men ages 15–34 report higher day-to-day loneliness than women the same age, even though overall, large-scale research suggests gender differences in loneliness are actually quite small. So what does that mean for your son—or your daughter? In this episode, I talk about: What's really driving the rise in teen loneliness (and why it's not as simple as "social media = bad"). How our parental habits—pace, expectations, emotional modeling—can unintentionally deepen the problem or help solve it. Practical, realistic ways to create connection with teens who seem withdrawn, prickly, or hard to reach. How boys and girls experience loneliness differently, and what each needs from the adults in their lives. How to offer yourself compassion as you learn new ways of showing up for your teen. This isn't about guilt. It's about naming what's real, supporting families with compassion, and giving you tools that bring connection back into the relationship.

In the late-1980s, Father Gregory Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence in his community during the so-called Decade of Death that peaked at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992 in Los Angeles. In the face of criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration, Father Boyle and community members adopted what was a radical approach – at the time – to treat gang members as human beings. In 1988, they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of men and women who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Father Greg Boyle spoke with Movement Is Life's Dr. Bonnie Simpson Mason for an episode that was originally published in 2020.

We sit down with Deborah Bonello, top level investigative journalist and author of Narcas. We explore the realities of the lives of women in Mexico. From female cartel leaders, to the officers who chase them, to the average woman trying to care for a family. Each one has a story.
In today's episode, we jumped right back on the Emerald City Express with third-time guest, Leena Norms (she/her). Leena joined us for our episode Wonka x Antisemitism and Censorship in January 2024 and then again in December 2024 for our episode Wicked x Paratexts. Now she's back to help us make sense of Wicked: For Good. Marcelle leads the episode beginning with a quick conversation about femslash, a subgenre of fan fiction which, broadly-speaking, focuses on romantic/sexual relationships between female fictional characters. Before jumping deeper into the history of femslash, Hannah, Marcelle and Leena discuss the essential question: how gay is this sequel? From there, Marcelle takes us into a conversation about subtext and representation. As always, the episode ends with a perfectly sound thesis and discussion of the movie, the media storm around the film, how Glinda is positioned as a hero, queerbaiting and revolutionary politics.Follow Leena on Youtube here!

Why has gender—once a term of analysis and identity—become one of the most explosive political flashpoints of our time? From the halls of the United Nations to state legislatures across the United States, debates over gender and sexuality now shape elections, social movements, and international alliances.In this live episode of the "Entitled" podcast, hosts Claudia Flores and Tom Ginsburg sit down with Graeme Reid, U.N. Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, and Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine and senior research fellow at Yale Law School, to explore how gender has become a global battleground. Together, they'll unpack the forces driving the backlash — from the rise of nationalist and religious movements to the politics of fear and control — and examine why gender has become a defining priority of the Trump administration and its international allies. Join us for a timely, provocative conversation about the past, present, and future of the global gender wars — and what's really at stake when societies decide who gets to define gender itself.

In this episode of the Strength In Weakness Podcast Morgan and Ellen step carefully and compassionately into a topic many Christian parents are quietly wrestling with: the overlap between autism and LGBTQ identification. With honesty, humility, and personal experience, they explore why autistic individuals may feel “other,” how that longing for belonging intersects with cultural messages around gender and sexuality, and how the church can respond with the heart of Christ.As both a therapist and a mom to a child with autism, Ellen shares gentle insight into how neurological differences shape identity processing, social perception, and emotional experience. Together, she and Morgan talk through why LGBTQ spaces can feel comforting for those who have often felt misunderstood—and how the Christian community can grow in offering that same warmth, safety, and belonging in a biblical way.Connect With Strength In Weaknesshttps://linktr.ee/strengthinweakness#Temptation #Faith #ChristianPodcast #OvercomingSin #StrengthAndWeakness
What happens when sex and gender get pulled apart, and families are left to navigate the fallout alone? We dig into that tension with Pastor Gregory Lyon, exploring a path that refuses to compromise biblical integrity while refusing to give up on people who are hurting. Starting from Genesis 1–2, we unpack why God's design for male and female still frames identity after the fall, how cultural stereotypes muddy the water, and why clarity doesn't have to sound like a hammer.Greg shares the story behind Made Known—a ministry designed to serve strugglers and the loved ones who walk with them. The name says it all: wonderfully made, fully known. Most of the messages they receive are from parents and grandparents who love a child, fear saying the wrong thing, and want practical steps they can take today. We talk through the realities they face, from pronoun questions to whether to attend a ceremony, and how to keep a relationship open without erasing truth. Along the way, we draw on Dr. Mark Yarhouse's three lenses—integrity, disability, and diversity—to explain why conversations stall and how to restart them with shared understanding.This is a guide for anyone who feels stuck between conviction and compassion. You'll hear why listening comes before correcting, how to avoid reducing a person to a single issue, and how to pursue heart change rather than mere behavior management. We also offer language and examples for parents who feel the urgency to “fix it now,” pointing instead to patient faith that trusts Christ with the work only he can do.
