Podcasts about Gender dysphoria

We all have hopes and dreams, and imagine how transition is going to go, and who we really are inside. But often the only way to actually get to that true person inside is by letting go of our preconceived notions of who we were going to be. Our sound editor Jillian Morgan joins us to discuss figuring yourself out, and being "just not a boy." It's magically curly!

Every single day living as a trans person in the US is an unending battle on dozens of different fronts, and it all adds up and takes a toll. Let's talk about what it's like when you're attacked every day, from every angle, and the constant fight that bigoted (or indifferent) cis people have turned our lives into. Actress and writer Nicole Maines returns to discuss deciding our own paths, and how there's a million and one ways to be a person. Listen up, Beverly!

You don't get to just call yourself an ally to trans people without action to back it up. Ally is a verb, and if you're not willing to do even the easiest, smallest thing to help trans people, you are not our ally. No matte how much you want to think you are so that you can feel like a good person. So let's talk about what performative allyship looks like, so you know how to avoid falling into that trap. Writer, comedian, and actress Riley Silverman returns to discuss taking small steps, and the line between work and fun!

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 5, 2026. We open with a story that tells you everything you need to know about where some people's priorities are right now — a D.C. magistrate judge apologized to the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner assassin for the conditions of his safe cell. We explain what a safe cell actually is, why someone who allegedly planned to kill the president and anyone who got in the way might reasonably be placed in one, and why the same logic that says we weren't watching Jeffrey Epstein closely enough is exactly why we watch someone like this closely. We also revisit the broader question of whether this man was acting out of insanity or whether he was simply following the Democrat Party's own rhetoric to its logical conclusion — and why there is a meaningful difference between the two. In our Top 3 Thing You Need to Know, Dell Computing is moving its corporate registration from Delaware back to its home state of Texas — after a $1 billion shareholder lawsuit settlement sent $267 million straight to the law firm that filed it. Texas has set up new business courts and made frivolous shareholder lawsuits harder to file, and Dell, founded in Austin in the 1980s, is coming home. Then the federal government is suing the state of Minnesota for suing energy companies over greenhouse gases — the DOJ arguing that a single state attempting to regulate global emissions is an unconstitutional power grab into an area of exclusive federal jurisdiction. And the DOJ is suing Denver over its 37-year-old assault weapons ban — Acting AG Todd Blanche responding to the city's hell no with a reminder that the Constitution is not a suggestion and the Second Amendment is not a second-class right. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the growing trend of married couples choosing separate bedrooms — a TikTok conversation that turned out to be far more common than anyone expected. We talk about whether sleeping separately is a practical solution to snoring and sleep deprivation or a slow erosion of intimacy, why the men in the room were unanimously opposed while the women were a lot more understanding, and why one mama's husband made the case that sleeping next to each other — even while asleep — is its own form of quality time. We're joined by Admiral Brian Christie, Assistant Secretary for Health and head of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, for an in-depth conversation on two major HHS initiatives. First, TrumpRx.gov and Most Favored Nation drug pricing — an agreement with 16 to 17 major pharmaceutical companies that ends the decades-long arrangement where Americans subsidized lower drug prices for citizens of other countries. We explain how the program works, why it is not a government takeover of medicine, and how to use TrumpRx.gov to find the lowest available prices on your prescriptions. Then Admiral Christie explains the Trump administration's formal position on gender dysphoria in minors — a peer-reviewed report from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health concluding that the appropriate treatment is compassionate mental health care, not puberty blockers, not surgery, and not what the last administration called gender-affirming care. The Admiral does not mince words on what those procedures actually do to children. We also cover President Trump pausing Operation Project Freedom — the naval escort program through the Strait of Hormuz — at the request of Pakistan and other nations, as negotiations with Iran over permanent nuclear disarmament continue to develop. We explain why this is a strategic pause, not a retreat, and why the blockade remains fully in place. In our Digging Deep segment, we preview Rededicate 250 — a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving on the National Mall on May 17th — and make the case that prayer was never optional or incidental to this country's founding. The Continental Congress opened in prayer. Leaders called for national days of fasting and thanksgiving before there was even a constitution. John Adams said the Constitution is wholly inadequate for the governance of any but a moral and religious people. We talk about what happens to a republic when it stops being that. For our Bright Spot, Officer Antonio Richardson of the Jacksonville Police Department — an 18-year veteran of the force and a 30-year veteran of the pulpit — spent an hour and a half praying with a young man standing on the edge of the Dames Point Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida. When the man finally stepped back and hugged him, Richardson told him why he wears the badge — to reach those whom the devil thinks he's got. The video posted by the Jacksonville PD has gone viral. We play the clip. We are not ashamed to say it made us feel something. And we close with four-year-old Nova Hallett of Beaverton, Oregon — who found her grandmother bleeding and disoriented after a fall, ran outside, found a neighbor, told them what happened, called 911, and then calmly led the paramedics directly to her grandmother's apartment. The city of Beaverton honored her for her bravery. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Some lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting. Listen now.

It's more than bad enough when bigots try to legislate trans people out of existence, but that's not all we have to deal with. So much of the world is set up by and for cis people, and isn't even made to acknowledge that trans people exist. Let's discuss what happens when we run into those systems, and the problems it can cause. Comic writer and musician Magdalene Visaggio joins us to discuss super mullets and writing your way to transition!

Mother Miriam Live - March 26th, 2026 Mother shares Dom Guéranger's writings about Holy Week liturgies and observances. She also speaks out against Israel's prime minister. Mother answers questions about how to keep First Friday and First Saturday devotions that conflict with Holy Week, whether non-Catholics who die for the faith might go to heaven, whether those facing persecution can join the church without baptism, what to do when experiencing long-term gender dysphoria, and what Catholics can do to protect themselves from supernatural harm. She further responds to comments on her video about Ted Cruz and the phrase "Christ is King."

James Gunn's Superman film is, perhaps, the most quietly trans-affirming superhero movie ever made.

In today's political climate, the term gender-affirming care is often framed as controversial and used synonymously with “transgender for everyone.” In reality, gender-affirming care includes a wide range of medical, mental health, and supportive services that both cisgender and transgender people access every day to align their bodies, health, and well-being with their gender.In this episode, we're exploring what gender-affirming care actually is, its history and evolution, and the medical and political landscape shaping the conversation today.Additional Resources:Read Besties in CrimeGender Incongruence and Transgender Health in the ICDGender-Affirming Care for Cisgender People: Q&A with Theodore Schall and Jacob MosesTo Protect Gender-Affirming Care, We Must Learn From Trans HistoryWhat is Gender Dysphoria?Magnus Hirschfeld and the Quest for Sexual Freedom: A History of the First International Sexual Freedom Movement (Critical Studies in Gender, Sexuality, and Culture)Elmer Belt, Harry Benjamin, and the Birth of Gender-Affirming Surgery in the United StatesTransgender Health Protections Reversed By Trump AdministrationPuberty Blockers for Transgender and Gender-Diverse YouthWhat are Puberty Blockers?

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Marcus Peter of Ave Maria Radio Interviews Stephen Rouhana on his book The King and Queen are Naked: Establishment Failures based on Scientific, Medical, and Psychiatric Research on “Gender Dysphoria” (February 9, 2026)This book is the result of analysis of the literature on Gender Dysphoria published in journals of psychology, psychiatry, and medicine, and in other relevant publications.In part one, Dr. Rouhana starts from basic definitions and leads the reader through the maze of articles and opinions on the subject to the unavoidable conclusion that the gender identity issues underlying Gender Dysphoria do constitute a mental disorder. He examines how the current recommendations in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association have been intentionally written to mislead the general public and medical insurance companies.In part two, Dr. Rouhana explores what ethical treatments are, and are not, for Gender Dysphoria given the conclusions from part one.In part three, he explores what the Catholic Church has taught on this topic, from the perspective of faith and philosophy. Each part ends with proposed actions to truly help those suffering with this issue.The King and Queen are Naked: Establishment Failures based on Scientific, Medical, and Psychiatric Research on “Gender Dysphoria” by Stephen W. Rouhana, Ph.D. | En Route Books and Media

Eight people dead within days and two countries, and yet the first casualty was clarity. We open the mic on a hard truth: when mental distress goes unmanaged, when policy favors speed over stability, and when media framing outruns facts, families get left to carry the wreckage. We walk through two fresh tragedies and connect them to earlier cases, highlighting documented histories of instability, prior police calls, and a pattern of warning signs that never turned into effective prevention.We also unpack the quieter shift that changed how care is delivered: the move from classifying gender-related distress as a mental disorder to placing it in sexual health. That decision helped reduce stigma and unlock coverage, but it also reoriented treatment toward affirming medical steps while the slow, essential work of therapy, family mediation, and crisis planning often lagged. Add the volatility of hormones, the complexity of psychiatric meds, and algorithm-driven outrage online, and you get a combustible mix where vulnerable people are pushed toward loud answers instead of lasting help.Rigorous mental health assessments, coordinated care and media standards that report facts without euphemism while centering victims. We share compassion for people in distress, insist on responsible systems, and call for policies that buy time for healing instead of racing toward irreversible steps. If you want less heat and more light on a topic too often reduced to slogans, this conversation is for you.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a rating and review so more listeners can find it.

There's almost nothing in this world better than gender euphoria, and yes I'm aware of both pizza and sex. Let's talk about what it is, where it comes from, and how chasing it can often be a more clear indicator of transness than trying to alleviate its opposite, gender dysphoria.

In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith kicks off a multi-part series critically examining pediatric gender dysphoria and so-called “affirming care.” Drawing from peer-reviewed medical and psychological literature, Dave focuses on detransitioners testimonies and raises concerns about current clinical practices involving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions for minors. Article read: Debate:Reality Check - Detransitioner's Testimonies Require Us To Rethink Gender Dysphoria, by Kirsty Entwistle. Published in Child and Adolescent Mental Health 26, No1, 2021, pp15-16The episode explores gaps in long-term outcome data, the role of political and institutional pressure on gender clinics, and the need for broader psychological evaluation—especially when comorbid conditions such as autism, trauma, depression, or social isolation are present. Dave argues for a more cautious, holistic, and evidence-based approach to helping children, while maintaining that adults should retain autonomy over their own medical decisions.This is a challenging, in-depth conversation about medicine, ethics, culture, and responsibility—intended to question prevailing narratives and encourage open discussion grounded in research and lived experience.#aatwd #andanotherthing #podcast #conspiracies #truther #politics #uspolitics #truthseeker #andanotherthgingwithdave #USA #usa #Australia #australia #Ireland #ireland #India #india #Germany #germany #uk #UK #United Kingdom #united kingdom #Canada #canada #gender #politics #maga #americafirst #af #GenderDysphoria#AffirmingCare#PubertyBlockers#CrossSexHormones#MedicalEthics#YouthProtection#MentalHealth#HealthcarePolicy#DoNoHarm#Detransition#Culture#CurrentEvents#HealthDebate#ScienceAndSociety#AndAnotherThingWithDave#PodcastEpisode#SpotifyPodcasts#ApplePodcasts#PodcastClips

Arguably, the trans movement really took hold when organizations like The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) began a ⁠de-psychopathologization campaign⁠ back in ⁠2010⁠. This campaign was not based on “science,” but was politically motivated, and resulted in the removal of mental health protections and enabled the medical scandal we see today, wherein minors are being sterilized and mutilated on the basis they are “trans. ⁠Genspect⁠ argues that this campaign “systematically dismantled psychiatric safeguards by declaring transgender identity innate and healthy, demoting mental health professionals to facilitators in Standards of Care 7, replacing Gender Identity Disorder with Gender Dysphoria in the DSM-5 and with Gender Incongruence in the ICD-11, redefining medical transition as medically necessary, and removing age barriers in Standards of Care 8.”In response, Genspect launched a “re-psychopathologization” campaign a few months ago, calling for “recognition of transgender identification and the drive for medical transition as a pathological condition characterized by an Extreme Overvalued Belief [a rigid, non-delusional conviction, shared and reinforced within a culture or subculture, defended with passion, and experienced by the individual as entirely rational.]”Mia Hughes ⁠announced the campaign⁠ at this year's Genspect conference in Albuquerque. I spoke with her about why “re-psychopathologization” is key to ending the scandal that is the modern trans movement, the backlash she received in response to the campaign, and why ⁠suing⁠ organizations like WPATH could help stop this medical malpractice. ⁠Mia Hughes⁠ is a ⁠writer⁠ and researcher on paediatric gender medicine, social contagion, and the intersection of trans and women's rights. She authored ⁠The WPATH Files⁠ and co-hosts ⁠Beyond Gender ⁠with Stella O'Malley and Dr Bret Alderman.The Same Drugs is on X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @thesamedrugs_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This interview explores the deep connection between childhood trauma and the rise in transgender identification among young people. Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, a clinical social worker specializing in trauma, joins the conversation to explain how unresolved wounds, disrupted attachments, and cultural messaging influence identity formation. Drawing on clinical experience, research, and real-life stories—including the journey of Walt Heyer—she sheds light on why compassion, truth, and proper psychological care are essential for true healing. Dr. Jennifer Bauwens is the Director of the Center for Family Studies at Family Research Council. She researches and advocates for policies that will best serve the health and well-being of families and communities. Jennifer earned her Ph.D. from New York University with an emphasis in trauma studies. She has worked extensively as a clinician providing trauma-focused treatment to children in foster- care and behavioral health settings and to adults who've experienced interpersonal traumas, such as sexual abuse and assault. Her scholarship and publications have focused on the effects of psychological trauma, including man-made and natural disasters. Additionally, Jennifer has taught on psychological trauma and research methods in several graduate programs, including Rutgers University and Princeton Seminary. https://embracethedesign.com/ Jennifer Bauwens' Book: https://a.co/d/9yLRZy0 Walt Heyer Interviews:  https://youtu.be/07_JatfRsss https://youtu.be/0qZpwPtVNcA https://youtu.be/6K7QgYOKThw 00:00 Understanding Gender Confusion and Its Roots 03:26 Walt Heyer's Journey: From Trauma to Transformation 07:04 The Clinical Perspective on Gender Affirming Care 23:40 Comparing Experiences: Abuse Survivors and Transgender Individuals 30:54 The Impact of Family Dynamics on Identity 37:01 The Influence of Social Factors on Gender Identity 42:46 Navigating the Complexities of Gender Dysphoria 43:33 Understanding the Trans Movement and Social Contagion 47:18 The Importance of Attachment in Development 52:51 Exploring Attachment Theory and Its Implications 01:03:27 Connecting Attachment Issues to Gender Identity 01:10:51 The Role of Family and History in Identity Formation 01:22:42 Practical Guidance for Supporting Individuals in Transition 01:29:12 Real Estate Commercial  Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/ Have a question or a comment?

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach tackles the question: is gender dysphoria a fad? Using research and cultural trends, he explores how rapid shifts in identity, especially among teens, often reflect cultural influence rather than biology, and he challenges Christians to anchor themselves in Christ so they aren't swept up by every new cultural wave. This episode reminds us that true stability comes from hearing and doing God's Word, building our lives on rock instead of sand.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

A registered GP has concerns about the issue of puberty blockers being handled by politicians. No child or young person experiencing gender dysphoria or incongruence will be able to start taking gonadotropin-releasing hormones from December 19. Health Minister Simeon Brown says Cabinet has agreed to new settings until the outcomes of a major clinical trial in the UK – expected in 2031. Dr John Cameron told Mike Hosking he commends the move but is unsure about the motivations. He believes it has been made on health grounds, but still thinks it needs to leave the political arena. Cameron says the safety of puberty blockers has been a topic of discussion in medical circles for a long time. He told Hosking, if they weren't safe, they would be banned across the board. But he says there is uncertainty on their long-term safety and effectiveness. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The evil one has created confusion in our culture around one of the most basic biblical truths that we were created in the image of God, as male and female.  The transgender movement is rooted in two questions: Where does our body come from and what makes us happy? Culture answers those questions by encouraging people to resolve the tension between biological sex and gender identity by changing your body. Scripture says the opposite: God loves you in your dysphoria, but instead of changing your body, allow God to renew your mind and receive the body He gave you as a glorious gift. Join us as we put the question of identity on the table. 

Halloween was always a bit rough for me. Free candy's great, but how do you put a costume on top of the costume of the cis person people tell you that you have to be?

In a culture where identity has become fluid, how can Christians respond with Biblical Truth with both conviction and compassion?In this episode of Candid Conversations, Jonathan Youssef sits down with Dr. Katie McCoy, author of To Be a Woman: The Confusion Over Female Identity and How Christians Can Respond. Together they unpack one of the most pressing questions facing the next generation: Who decides who we are?Dr. McCoy traces the rise of gender confusion from the roots of radical feminism and expressive individualism to the explosion of gender dysphoria among Gen Z. With clarity and grace, she explains why this moment is not just a social issue but a spiritual one, a battle over what it means to be human and made in the image of God.In this conversation, you will also hear:How culture's “be whoever you want” message is leaving young people anxious and broken.The connection between feminism, Marxist thought, and modern gender ideology.What Scripture teaches about masculinity, femininity, and our created design.Practical advice for parents and churches walking alongside teens facing gender confusion.How believers can speak truth without hostility in an age of outrage.Dr. McCoy also shares about The Identity Project, a free resource helping parents, pastors, and churches navigate questions of sexuality, gender, and biblical identity with wisdom and courage.If you've ever wondered how to stand for truth while staying loving in conversations about gender and identity, this episode will equip you with biblical insight and hope.Follow Candid Conversations on social media:Instagram: @candidpodTikTok: @officiallycandidpodYouTube: @CandidPodSubscribe & Share:If this episode inspired you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.CANDID LISTENER SURVEYWe love bringing you honest, hope-filled conversations about the Christian faith, and we'd love your feedback.

Listen, I love being trans, I really do. I don't want to be cis. But I'd also love to be able to just exist in the world as a human.

Few topics in mental health are as complex, charged, and deeply personal as gender dysphoria. For some, transitioning feels life-saving. For others, it leads to regret and the painful realisation that surgery or hormones didn't solve the deeper struggles underneath.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Az Hakeem - psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author of Detrans: When Transition is Not the Solution. For over two decades, Az has worked with people questioning their gender, those pursuing transition, and those who later detransitioned. His work has given him unique insight into what lies beneath gender distress from autism and trauma to identity, shame, and societal influence.This is not about ideology or taking sides. It's about listening to lived experiences, asking difficult questions, and opening up compassionate space for conversations that too often get shut down.Whether you're a parent, a clinician, or simply someone wanting to better understand this issue, I hope this conversation helps you think more deeply about what it really means to heal.Contact Az: https://www.nightingalehospital.co.uk/specialist/dr-az-hakeem/Buy his book: https://amzn.eu/d/f3pGQ5mStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

As the last of my short Honeymoon Reprise series I'm sharing what originally aired in June 2018 with medical doctors Allie and Joyce Taur. It's truly one of the most remarkable stories that I've ever shared on my platform in the entire eleven-plus years that I've been recording weekly stories. You'll soon learn that while Allie was identified as a cis-het male at birth and named Steven, after he and Joyce got married and where raising their three boys, the former came out as a trans-female. Their commitment to and love for each other enabled them to remake their marriage and family.

Birthdays can be rough for many people, but they can be extra difficult for trans people pre-transition... because why is a waking death worth celebrating? We discuss how tough they were, and how discombobulating it was during transition when that all started to change. Storyboard artist Nazul "Suli" Sobrino joins us to discuss how there's so many good things, and sometimes there's no other option. Why would you give a five year old a mug for a gift?

So what happens when trans youth are old enough for puberty blockers? What do they have to go through to get access to that care? Let me tell you how difficult it was for me, as an adult, and you'll maybe see how many barriers trans kids actually face. And we discuss the lengths good parents will go to in order to keep their kids safe. Karla, the cis mom of a trans kid, returns to discuss finding your humanity.

Hopefully that bothers you, but it sure doesn't bother the people trying to take away the literally lifesaving care that trans kids need.

“Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?” That's what Chloe Cole's psychiatrist asked her parents when they sought guidance about her pursuit of “gender transition.” Well, Chloe did transition, until she realized the devastating consequences of this choice. I'm grateful to talk with Chloe this week as she shares her story of transition, detransition, and meeting Jesus. Truth Rising is a new documentary from the Colson Center and Focus on the Family. It features Chloe Cole's testimony along with other powerful stories. The film points to the reality that truth is not subjective—Jesus is the Truth who brings freedom and life. Watch the full documentary at truthrising.com. The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.

Trans people in sports?! Huge if true. Republicans would have you believe this is a national emergency of the utmost unfairness, and for some reason a lot of otherwise good allies fall into the "well I just don't know about sports..." trap. So let's talk about where the origins of policing trans bodies in sports comes from (spoilers: it's literally the nazis), and how "unfair advantages" are actually what sports are all about. And let's talk about how trans women don't have those "advantages" anyway. You're gonna learn! Zoe Aurora Slater, former trainer of competing powerlifters and bodybuilders, joins us to discuss how everything has joy in it and a catch-22 in hell. What's the whip?

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the tragic irony of today's transgender sports movement on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “  As a classicist, I can tell you that there are documented fables, myths, poems, histories about people who feel they were in the wrong bodies. … There's a long history of sex research about people whose psychological or hormonal makeup does not match their physical characteristics. But here's the key: They're very rare. “The Left was supposed to be for gender parity. … And now we're kind of reactionary. We flipped it upside down, where males go around the back, take over women's sports, and essentially, destroy it. And yet that is popular among many on the Left.”

Aaron McIntire reports Israel's unilateral strikes on Iran's nuclear missile sites, military headquarters, and officials, escalating tensions without public U.S. backing, despite President Trump's push for a diplomatic nuclear deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarifies the U.S. is not involved but was informed by Israel, emphasizing protection of American forces. McIntire warns this could dwarf the Israel-Hamas conflict. Trump has dueling messages on immigration, but says he's still vowing the largest mass deportation in history, protecting ICE and Border Patrol. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) is tackled by Secret Service at a DHS press conference in Los Angeles after lunging at the podium to question Secretary Kristi Noem, later meeting to clarify the incident. The House narrowly passes Trump's $9.4 billion DOGE cuts, slashing foreign aid and public broadcasting funds. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shuts down Rep. Sarah Jacobs' (D-CA) culture war jab, citing mental health concerns with gender dysphoria in military readiness. McIntire fields listener questions on Los Angeles riots as law enforcement, congressional grandstanding, and Truth Social's role as Trump's megaphone.    Israel Iran strikes, nuclear sites, Trump administration, Marco Rubio, immigration policy, mass deportation, Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem, DOGE cuts, Pete Hegseth, gender dysphoria, Los Angeles riots, Truth Social, Josh Hawley, minimum wage
