Guitarist and engineer Josie Scott battled crippling gender dysphoria for decades before finally deciding to live openly as a trans woman in her 60s.In 1984 in Adelaide, two brothers formed a pioneering alternative rock band called The Mark of Cain.They wanted to make music that was heavy and intense with lyrics about war, and death, and being misunderstood.Over the years the band gained an international following and plenty of fans at home in Australia.Earlier this year, one of the band's two founders, Josie Scott, announced on the band's website that she was a trans woman.At the age of 63, Josie wrote that she had finally decided to 'embrace rather than endure who she is'.And her decision to go public with her story was met with a huge and loving response from fans of the band.Help and support is always availableCall QLife on 1800 184 527 for LGBTIQA+ peer supportLifeline is available on 13 11 14 for 24/7 crisis supportKids Helpline on 1800 551 800 is available for young people aged 5 to 25. This episode was produced by Jen Leake and the Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores gender identity, music, Australian music, living authentically, transgender issues, male to female transition, drug abuse, substance abuse, addiction issues, romance, love, relationships, mother child relationships, heavy metal, Adelaide's music scene.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Kpop Demon Hunters has taken the world by storm, and settled itself deep in the hearts of many trans people, myself included. Is it a trans allegory? Let's take a look and see what this remarkable animated film has to say about transness. We discuss context, names, and dive in by timestamps! And yes, we talk about "Golden".

I used to be a member of the Presbyterian Church, way back when in my early years. The church I attended was truly Christian, Biblically based, not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and where the love of God was evident. It offered God-honoring music, sincere prayer, and the true Biblical fellowship of the Saints. That was Presbyterian then, but now comes the PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH USA (PCUSA), a church entirely different than the one before. The PCUSA, Cherokee Presbytery, the church which covers the city of Atlanta and much of North Georgia, now goes public with the resolution in favor of all transgender procedures, including that of minors, in the very state, Georgia, which, along with 27 other states, has enacted laws to protect minors from gender transition procedures. The PCUSA went public supporting all things transgender, as it had before with the LGBTQ agenda. The so-called GENDER AND SEXUALITY JUSTICE COMMITTEE approved the church resolution by a vote of 50-10 and the General Assembly in plenary session approached the final draft 441-30 (unbelievable). The vote and the affirmation of transgenderism went entirely against Biblical teaching and Scripture generally, yet this southern branch of the PCUSA defied Scripture and went its own way. This PCUSA committee and its General Assembly said it was more concerned with the wellbeing of many transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive people who experience symptoms of Gender Dysphoria or distress that result in having one's general identity not match their sex assigned at birth. All of that was more important than anything the Bible, the Word of God, had to say. No matter to these Presbyterians that the international medical consensus has become far more cautious about transgenderism, and many countries, such as the United Kingdom, have sharply restricted the use of puberty blockers for children, and medical authorities have concluded the evidence supporting these major interventions is far weaker than previously claimed. 2 It seems obvious that the PCUSA ignores and never even seriously considered Biblical teaching on human sexually as this amendment was passed. Ignored by them was Scripture, which indicates clearly God created man in His own image. Genesis clearly indicates God made human beings: MALE AND FEMALE (GENESIS 1:27). Our Lord Jesus Christ then cites this creation principle as: UNCHANGING TRUTH. The PCUSA utterly ignored the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ who affirmed the Genesis account of creation in Matthew 19:4-6. The God of the Universe made them male and female. Sex was not assigned at birth, nor was gender identity a matter for human beings to decide, but only for God to decide. My fellow Christians, once any individual, or especially a church, ceases to treat Scripture as final authority, the church, its beliefs and teachings, fall prey to the broader cultural revolution surrounding sex and gender. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Council, indicates this was not an isolated decision, but the fruit of years of theological compromise. The PCUSA has been moving away from historic Christian orthodoxy for decades, says Closson. This denomination had abandoned Biblical teaching on marriage and sexuality, redefined sexual ethics, and repeatedly rejected the clear authority of Scripture on issues of human identity, says Closson. In short, the radical, anti-Biblical principles and precepts of the current culture prevail, and the Bible, SCRIPTURE, and the teachings of our Lord matter not at all with regard to this issue. The escalation of the PCUSA's LGBTQ and transgender agendas coincides with an ongoing decline in its membership, and rightly so. In 2025, PCUSA had only 1 million members, a decline in membership from 3.1 million members when PCUSA was formed in 1983. 3 That is so, David Closson believes, because these Presbyterians have abandoned Christian orthodoxy to follow the culture, move in theological thinking and belief to the Left, the far Left, and, at the same time, are undermining their own reason for existence. When a Christian institution abandons Christian teachings and the Bible, and the precious and unique Gospel of Jesus Christ, it loses its uniquely compelling character and really becomes, as Closson says, nothing more than a social club. Small wonder so many members consider this far-Left move by PCUSA has created a church unworthy of participation and involvement. Our beloved Bible teaches us our God, the Triune God whom we believe in, love, and respect, created humanity male and female, none other, and our bodies are gifts to be received rather than obstacles to be overcome. True human understanding does not result in the remaking of ourselves, the change in our sexual identity according to our own desires, but in conforming our lives to Gods wise and loving design. When we are born either male or female, it is what God intended. Let no man or woman seek to change this Divine Decision. It matters not what we want, it only matters what HE wants and decides.

I recently discovered that without realizing, I have apparently so fully embraced and accepted who I am, that I am literally excited to be perceived. Let's talk about how that can sneak up on you, and how so fully loving who you are can change experiences in ways you never dreamed were possible. And yes, this is Confidence 3, but it's also Gender Euphoria 2, and Halloween (and the fear of embracing your true self) 2, because everything's connected, and we'll talk about that too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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? Even when I had a costume, I was terrified of using any makeup or hair dye... because what I was really afraid of is that I would LIKE those things, and then what would that say about me? Comic and novel writer Ben Kahn returns to discuss respect for the clowns and Marie Kondo-ing your way through transition! Are you smart-headed??

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. Transness is just one (big and important) part of who I am, and I'd really like ALL of me to be seen as a whole person and not constantly have to be reminded how I'm "the other." YOU can help make it better! Truly. Comic and novel writer Ben Kahn joins us to discuss wecomics and strategy guides! Some people are not worth the full experience of you.

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.

“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. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what's happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them. Learn more about the Colson Center here: https://www.colsoncenter.org/   Visit our website and sign up for our email list so that you can stay up to date on what we are doing here and also receive our monthly journal: https://www.colsoncenter.org/strong-women Join Strong Women on Social Media:   https://www.facebook.com/StrongWomenCC  https://www.facebook.com/groups/strongwomencommunitycc/  https://www.instagram.com/strongwomencc/  https://linktr.ee/strongwomencc
