tackles some of the most urgent and controversial issues shaping our world today—from the cutting edge of medical technology and the AI revolution to gender policy, cultural change, and the debate over reparations. Kicking off with a wild breakthrough in robotic heart transplants, the conversation quickly expands into the rapid-fire disruption of artificial intelligence, how deepfakes and digital mimicry are challenging reality, and why no one should expect the pace of change to slow down. The episode dives headlong into the Supreme Court's ruling on gender-affirming care, questions about the true legacy of feminism, and whether modern societies are undervaluing parenthood and family. With candid commentary on Chicago's reparations plan, the immigrant mindset, and the pitfalls of race-based policy, this episode asks the hard questions, highlights what's at stake, and offers a blueprint for thriving amid chaos and change. If you want to stay ahead of the curve—and challenge your own assumptions—don't miss this one.

For pride month, the girlies mount a defense against one of the largest threats to queer people today: transphobia. They trace the long history of trans existence and its erasure, unpack how moral panic is used to justify control, why transphobia exists on both the right and the left, and how the freedom to live outside the binary can liberate us from other systems of oppression. Digressions include: the highs and lows of plant parenthood, our no-phone summer so far, and a new candy shaking up the scene. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza McLamb and edited by Livi Burdette. Research assistance from Kylie Finnigan.

People around the world got a first look at pictures and videos from the new Rubin Observatory in Chile on Monday. We take you to a watch party on Penn State’s University Park campus, to meet some of the professors who helped bring the project to life. UPMC is among the hospital systems in Pennsylvania no longer providing certain gender-affirming care for transgender patients next month. Providers are urging UPMC to reverse its decision. Suicide is the leading cause of gun-related deaths in Pennsylvania. The state is offering one million dollars in grants to help communities prevent these deaths. An intense and nearly historic weather pattern is cooking much of the U.S. under a dangerous heat dome this week with triple-digit temperatures in places that haven't been so hot in more than a decade. That includes the entire 19-county WITF listening area, which remains under an extreme heat advisory through 8 pm Wednesday. A Lancaster County police chief is fired, in the wake of a video of an off-duty traffic stop he conducted - in which he drew a gun and grappled with a motorcyclist. And in the town of New Berlin, Union County, a central Pennsylvania tradition is being put on hold this year.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors. In recent years, 27 states have enacted laws that restrict access to gender-affirming care for youth. The ruling could doom lawsuits brought by transgender rights groups in states that have restrictions on gender-affirming care. While the ruling won't affect Minnesota's law protecting gender-affirming care, clinics could see a surge of new patients coming from out-of-state. Aaron Zimmerman is the executive director of PFUND, an organization that provides resources for LGBTQ+ plus people in the upper Midwest. He joined Minnesota Now to talk about the ruling's impact.

The Supreme Court's decision to affirm Tennessee's ban on so called "Gender Affirming Care" was a victory for people like activist/attorney Lois McLatchie Miller. On June 6, police in Brussels, Belgium arrested her and child protection advocate Chris Elston (aka "Billboard Chris") for peacefully displaying signs promoting the protection of children against transgender medical treatments. Their signs read “Children are never born in the wrong body” and “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers.” The pair went to the EU capital to engage members of the European Parliament about the dangers of puberty blockers for children. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Miller, an attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom International, reacts to the Justices' decision, and also talks about her experiences being arrested for standing up for her deeply held beliefs that "children are made in the image of God, and they are made as beings that should be loved and cherished."  Miller shares how instead of addressing the mob threatening them, the police arrested the two holding signs. She says it's a blatant example of how deep Western culture has aligned itself with the transgender movement and pushes back aggressively against any who challenge its orthodoxy.

The United States Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning some gender-affirming care for minors, and 26 other states have passed similar laws. Here in Philadelphia, Penn Medicine recently announced that they will no longer provide gender-affirming surgeries for people under 19. To get a better understanding of why some people want or need these procedures, Racquel Williams listens to personal experiences from Jasper Liem, Executive Director of The Attic Youth Center; mothasistah, an Attic staff member and parent of a transman; Naiymah Sanchez, a trans woman who works for the ACLU of PA; and Dr. Avra Laarakker, Gender Affirming/Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon with Jefferson Pride Care at Jefferson Einstein Hospital.

The Rod and Greg Show Daily Rundown – Friday, June 20, 20254:20 pm: Congressman Mike Kennedy joins the show to discuss this week's decision by the Supreme Court to uphold a Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for youth, which clears such laws for twenty other states, including Utah.6:05 pm: Ryan McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Legislative Analysis, joins Greg for a conversation about the results of a study showing lawmakers are less conservative than their constituents.6:20 pm: Shawn Fleetwood of The Federalist joins Greg to discuss how America needs Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett to become the reliable originalist it was expecting when appointed by President Trump.6:38 pm: We'll listen back to Greg's conversations this week with two political commentators, beginning with Charles Lipson on how the Democrats are continuously on the wrong side of 80/20 issues, and (at 6:50 pm) with Guy Ciarrocchi on how the Democrats tell us who they are by what they fight for.

The Supreme Court this week said Tennessee may continue to enforce its law banning most types of gender-affirming care for minors. The ruling is likely to greenlight similar laws in two dozen states. Meanwhile, the Senate is preparing to vote on a budget reconciliation bill that includes even deeper Medicaid cuts than the bill that barely passed the House in May. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call, and Victoria Knight of Axios join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “The Bureaucrat and the Billionaire: Inside DOGE's Chaotic Takeover of Social Security,” by Alexandra Berzon, Nicholas Nehamas, and Tara Siegel Bernard. Alice Miranda Ollstein: Wired's “What Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets Do to the Human Body,” by Emily Mullin. Victoria Knight: The New York Times' “They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling,” by Kashmir Hill. Sandhya Raman: North Carolina Health News' “Ambulance Companies Collect Millions by Seizing Wages, State Tax Refunds,” by Michelle Crouch and Charlotte Ledger. Hosted on Acast.

There is a lot of mis and dis information out there around gender affirming care for youth. This is both fueled by and leads to a general misunderstand about the basic ethical considerations present similar to other aspects of clinical care. On this episode of A Question of Ethics, Dr. Wolfe talks with the head of Children's Gender Clinic to discuss the ethical considerations around gender affirming care for youth.

In this 2025 Pride episode, we explore the critical importance of gender-affirming care. Nicholette is joined by Melanie Falls, Han Wetmore, and Dr. Shain Miller—three experts deeply involved in supporting LGBTQ+ communities. Together, they discuss the clinical realities of gender dysphoria, and the vital role of family and community in affirming trans youth. The conversation highlights the resilience of transgender individuals, the mental health implications of restricted care, and practical steps clinicians and allies can take to offer support. Resources like Trans Family, PFLAG, and local LGBT centers are also shared for those seeking guidance.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Maya Forstater, co-founder and CEO of Sex Matters, a human rights charity focused on clarifying the meaning of sex in UK law and policy. We delve into the significant implications of the recent Supreme Court ruling in the For Women Scotland case, which challenges the definition of "woman" in the Equality Act. Maya shares her personal journey, from being an ordinary mum to becoming a pivotal figure in the gender-critical debate after losing her job for expressing her beliefs about sex and gender.We explore the complexities of the Gender Recognition Act and its impact on women's rights, particularly in contexts like public boards and single-sex spaces. Maya emphasizes the importance of basing policies on actual sex rather than "gender identity" in order to protect women's rights. We also discuss the chilling effect of current laws on free speech in the UK, where individuals can face serious repercussions for expressing gender-critical views.Throughout our conversation, we aim to unpack the broader societal implications of these legal definitions and the ongoing struggle for clarity and fairness in the discourse surrounding gender and sex. Join us as we navigate these critical issues and consider what they mean for the future of women's rights and freedom of belief.Maya Forstater is co-founder and CEO of Sex Matters, a human rights charity campaigning for clarity on sex in law and policy in the UK. They were interveners on the winning side in the recent For Women Scotland supreme court case on the meaning of woman in the Equality Act. Maya came into the gender debate as the claimant in an employment-tribunal test case on belief discrimination, when she lost her job at the Center for Global Development after tweeting and writing about sex and gender. Her case established that ordinary beliefs about the two sexes are covered by the protected characteristic of belief in the Equality Act 2010.Before co-founding Sex Matters she had 20 years' experience as a researcher, writer and advisor working on business and sustainable development including on international tax policy, climate change and green finance, and human rights in supply chains.00:00 Start[00:01:01] Gender and belief discrimination.[00:06:00] Women's rights and legal battles.[00:11:11] Definition of sex in law.[00:12:25] Women's spaces and rights conflict.[00:16:45] Women's rights and trans issues.[00:23:24] Gender Recognition Certificate explained.[00:26:27] Gender Recognition Act implications.[00:28:38] Gender recognition and legal exceptions.[00:36:09] Birth certificate changes legality.[00:39:44] Arrests for social media comments.[00:40:59] Abuse of speech laws.[00:45:56] Employment rights and freedom of speech.[00:51:58] Mental health industry's responsibility.[00:55:25] Entitlement in psychological treatment.[00:58:59] Safeguards in Gender Recognition Act.[01:01:24] Bathroom rules and discrimination.[01:07:43] Digital identity and data issues.[01:09:51] Digital identity and privacy.[01:13:32] Gender identity and legal documents.[01:19:12] Birth records and gender identity.[01:21:00] "Non-binary" gender recognition.[01:26:10] Government endorsed identity layer.[01:32:02] Schools and gender recognition issues.[01:33:27] Guidance for schools on equality.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

I welcome back Deb Fillman to delve into the complex intersection of education and mental health services in schools. We explore the growing trend of universal mental health screenings and the implications they have for students, teachers, and parents. Deb shares her concerns about how these programs often blur the lines between education and therapy, placing undue burdens on teachers and potentially mislabeling normal childhood behaviors as mental health issues.We discuss the shift from diagnosing conditions like ADHD to a broader pathologization of student behavior, raising critical questions about the effectiveness and necessity of these mental health initiatives. Are we truly addressing the needs of vulnerable students, or are we creating a culture of over-diagnosis and dependency on medication?Additionally, we examine the ethical considerations surrounding consent and privacy in school settings, particularly when it comes to sensitive topics like mental health. As we navigate these pressing issues, we aim to empower parents to think critically about the resources available to their children and to advocate for more meaningful educational experiences. Join us as we unpack these vital topics and consider the future of mental health in education.Deborah Fillman is the founder of The Reason We Learn, a YouTube channel and Substack publication dedicated to exposing what's happening in education and empowering parents to think clearly, ask better questions, and take charge of their children's learning.A longtime homeschooling mother of three—two now adults and one finishing high school—Deborah combines personal experience with deep research to help parents cut through the noise of educational jargon, political agendas, and the steady erosion of academic standards. She's known for her clear, principled commentary and her commitment to parental authority in education.In addition to her work online, Deborah is a private tutor and enrichment instructor with Cogito Learning Center, where she teaches logic, writing, and literature to students from across the country. She also advises families seeking alternatives to the conventional curriculum, helping them identify high-quality resources that challenge students intellectually and support their growth in character, independence, and critical thinking.Whether through video, writing, or direct instruction, Deborah's mission is the same: to restore clarity, courage, and common sense to the conversation about how—and why—we educate.cogitolearningcenter.com - Summer session starts July 6.

In this profound episode, I sit down with Steve Palmer to explore an experience few dare to discuss openly: the struggle to conquer ego-dystonic autogynephilia. Steve experiences his compulsions to cross-dress and engage in paraphilic behavior as contradictory to his sense of self and the moral values by which he chooses to live.Steve's story is one of remarkable resilience, tracing a journey from adolescent confusion through drug-induced psychosis to a hard-won spiritual transformation. A heterosexual man with a strong masculine core, he shares candidly about how early sexual imprinting and personal challenges created a complex internal landscape. Despite bullying, intrusive thoughts, and deep internal conflict, he chose a path of radical honesty and personal accountability.Through faith, discipline, and commitment to his marriage and family, Steve has found a way to manage these impulses without letting them define him. His journey challenges simplistic narratives about gender and sexuality, offering a nuanced perspective on overcoming deeply ingrained psychological patterns. He speaks openly about the role of spirituality in healing, the importance of gratitude, and the ongoing work of maintaining his sense of self.For men struggling with similar experiences, Steve offers a message of hope and resilience. His story demonstrates that recovery is possible – not through suppression, but through honest confrontation, spiritual guidance, and personal growth. While compulsions may persist, they need not control one's life or identity.This episode provides a profound exploration of masculinity, sexual identity, and human transformation. Steve's candid discussion offers compassion and understanding for those wrestling with similar struggles, showing how one can navigate complex internal experiences with integrity and purpose.Steve Palmer knows something of the pain and affliction common to men that struggle with autogynephilia. He has experienced near unrelenting inner conflict and pressure to conform to daily AGP desires since age 12. Years of inner struggle slowly led him to consider that embracing these desires fulltime was the only way to silence the storm within.  Steve pursued answers through psychedelic experimentation and Buddhist practice in his early twenties. Drug induced and recurrent psychotic episodes followed. In his darkest hours he was willing to consider that maybe he was wrong about God. For the last 18 years he has trusted Jesus to show him how to live anew. Steve offers from experience how men struggling with AGP need not allow it to destroy their masculinity, their marriages, or their lives.Steve's Youtube Channel, Grace By Which I Stand[00:01:48] Hope and healing in struggles.[00:05:00] Hormone use and identity clash.[00:08:58] Internal struggles and self-identity.[00:12:09] Sexual addiction and recovery.[00:13:04] Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and conscientiousness.[00:17:36] Experiencing Buddhism through meditation.[00:20:55] Drug-induced psychosis recovery.[00:24:00] Truth vs. personal desire.[00:25:57] Spiritual vs. biological components of schizophrenia.[00:30:31] Spiritual agreements and deliverance.[00:32:10] Spiritual realm experiences and authority.[00:39:12] Nature of evil in ideology.[00:40:06] Grace requires honesty.[00:42:40] Gender identity and personal testimony.[00:46:35] Repression and identity struggle.[00:51:47] Erotic target location error.[00:56:55] Parallel play in relationships.[00:58:33] Overcoming personal struggles and growth.[01:01:25] Marriage as a gift from God.[01:06:40] Ego-dystonic vs. ego-syntonic.[01:09:40] Learning from transition experiences.[01:12:24] Support for men seeking honesty.[01:15:20] Forgiveness and personal growth.[01:19:12] Relationship transparency and struggles.[01:22:36] Masculine drive and self-soothing.[01:26:50] Overcoming personal challenges.[01:29:11] Consequences of personal choices.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

In today's America there are those who claim that, under the guise of "protecting" children, they should be gender transitioned. Some are so adamant about this that they believe it should be done away from the attention of parents, parents who refuse to be affirming of a gender identity that doesn't match the child's biological sex. Returning to Crosstalk to put the spotlight on this issue was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. According to Alex, children all over America are being given what's called, "Gender Affirming Care." He described this as, "...surgical mutilation of a child's genitals, this is double mastectomies on little girls, this is castration of little boys; this is horrific, irreversible surgery that will forever sterilize these children." Sadly, he also pointed out that government has a part in facilitating and encouraging this. Review this important program so you understand how this points to the fact that your children and grandchildren are the targets of LGBTQ activists. Hear the proof from the activists themselves as Jim played audio from a gay pride parade in New York City, the Gay Men's Chorus in San Francisco and drag queen Dylan Pontiff. However, that's not all. Listen as Jim presents the troubling testimony of Dustin Gonzales, a father in the state of Colorado, whose daughter was groomed at school to believe she was a different gender. The school knew he would not be supportive of this so they hid it from him for 2 years. Listeners capped the broadcast by presenting their views.

Writer, activist, and mother of two, Samantha DeLoach, joins me to delve into the complex and often troubling world of reproductive technologies, including egg harvesting and IVF. We explore the emotional and medical consequences that women face when they engage with these procedures, particularly the risks that are often downplayed or ignored by the industry. Samantha shares her personal journey, reflecting on her own experiences as a college student tempted by the allure of quick cash for egg donation, and how her perspective has evolved over the years.We discuss the predatory nature of the reproductive industry, which targets vulnerable young women, and the societal pressures that lead them to make decisions that could have lifelong repercussions. Samantha highlights the stark reality that many women are sold a dream of balancing career and motherhood, only to find that the success rates of using frozen eggs are alarmingly low.Additionally, we touch on the philosophical implications of separating motherhood into distinct roles—biological, gestational, and social—and the potential identity issues that children conceived through these means may face. This conversation aims to challenge listeners to think critically about the ethics of reproductive technologies and the importance of prioritizing the well-being of children over adult desires. Join us as we navigate these pressing issues in bioethics and family planning.Growing up in a small town in the heart of Florida, Samantha DeLoach developed a deep appreciation for truth, beauty, and conviction. Now a social media consultant for Live Action and Them Before Us, she is a bold advocate for the pro-life cause and children's rights. Known as @Prolife_Sam on X, Samantha takes on pro-choice arguments with razor-sharp clarity, sharing the beauty of motherhood, and connecting women in crisis with life-affirming resources. A devoted Christian, wife of nearly 12 years, and mother of two boys, she believes the culture is starving for truth and she's committed to shining light into a morally declining culture by emphasizing that the rights and well-being of children must come before the desires of adults.Samantha's article in Evie Magazine: They Told Us Motherhood Could Wait, Then Sold it Back to Us at $12,000 a Round 00:00 Start[00:02:29] Egg harvesting consequences in college.[00:05:20] Consequences of egg donation.[00:08:11] Predatory egg donation practices.[00:11:12] Egg freezing and career choices.[00:15:24] Identity issues in reproductive technology.[00:19:21] Adoption vs. Surrogacy Perspectives.[00:25:00] Surrogacy and maternal roles.[00:27:24] The importance of childhood attachment.[00:32:36] Reproductive technologies and attachment wounds.[00:35:19] Rights and protection of children.[00:39:24] IVF and abortion in media.[00:44:54] Maternal attachment and pregnancy.[00:48:08] Mother-child emotional bond.[00:51:39] Birth control's long-term impact.[00:55:28] IVF and egg retrieval process.[01:02:00] IVF risks and complications.[01:02:43] IVF emotional decisions and regrets.[01:06:24] IVF and ethical dilemmas.[01:12:27] Child memory and psychological effects.[01:14:38] Genetically engineering children today.[01:20:18] Human connection and artificial wombs.[01:22:05] Children's rights and responsibilities.[01:25:42] Responsibility to future children.[01:29:40] Family origin stories and intentions.[01:32:57] Identity formation through stories.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.
