Podcasts about Gender dysphoria

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

They explore the psychological and cultural forces driving this trend, including trauma, social contagion, and the influence of online communities. Mia shares her personal journey and offers a critical perspective on gender-affirming care, the phenomenon of autogynephilia, and the concept of diagnostic overshadowing—where gender identity becomes the sole focus of treatment at the expense of underlying mental health conditions. Together, they reflect on the ethical dilemmas within the trans rights movement, the medicalization of nonconforming identity, and the growing cultural shift toward victimhood over resilience.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Gender Affirming Care02:02 Mia Hughes' Journey and Background05:20 The WPATH Files and Medical Scandal07:49 Statistics and Social Contagion in Gender Dysphoria12:55 Counterarguments: Transgender Identification vs. Homosexuality15:45 The Nature of Gender Dysphoria21:16 Understanding Autogynephilia27:26 The Impact of Trans Rights Movement33:01 Comparing Autogynephilia and Homosexuality40:23 Understanding Autogynephilia and Its Implications44:04 The Debate on Gender-Affirming Care50:29 Demographics of Gender Dysphoria58:49 The Role of Trauma in Gender Dysphoria01:12:32 Causation vs Correlation in Gender Identity01:14:58 Understanding Mental Health: Symptoms vs. Explanations01:18:47 The Role of Trauma in Mental Health01:21:35 The DSM and the Nature of Psychiatric Diagnoses01:24:29 The Impact of Labels on Mental Health01:27:48 Mindfulness and Mental Health01:32:23 The Utility of Diagnoses in Self-Discovery01:36:34 Navigating ADHD and Attention Issues01:42:11 The Paradox of Modern Life and Mental Health01:45:53 Victimhood Culture and Mental Health Perspectives This is a public episode.

In this timely episode of CMDA Matters, Dr. Allan Josephson shares his compelling journey of standing firm in both science and faith. As a distinguished child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Josephson courageously spoke out on the treatment of gender dysphoria, emphasizing evidence-based care rooted in compassion. His truth-telling led to professional backlash, including harassment and wrongful termination. But his stand for academic freedom and patient advocacy resulted in a legal victory and a powerful reminder of the cost – and the calling – of conviction. Join us for an essential conversation about faith, freedom, and advocating for vulnerable patients, especially children, in a challenging cultural climate.

Let's dive into two of my favorite things that taste great together... trans allegories, and Star Trek! Season two, episode two of Strange New Worlds, "Ad Astra Per Aspera," rocked my world.

Body hair! Love it or hate it, it's something nearly every human has to deal with. And for those of us who hate it, whose dysphoria it makes worse, that can mean a whole intensive process to get rid of it. So let's talk about what all that entails, and why we'd go through it just to have to do it all over again. And again. And again.

Last week, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to enforce a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The Defense Department has been moving quickly to identify and remove these troops from service, and now the Department says it will start screening troops for gender dysphoria during routine checkups in an effort to push transgender service members out of the military federal news networks.

This episode is a recording of the session titled "Transgender People and the Church" at the recent Exiles in Babylon conference in Minneapolis. In this session, I give a short theological overview of Transgender identities and Mark Yarhouse gives a psychological perspective. And then, we had three people share their testimonies: Remi Rathjen (a Christian who experiences Gender Dysphoria and who hasn't transitioned), Julia Mallott (a transitioned transwoman who does not identify as a Christian), and Chloe Cole (a Christian who transitioned at an early age and then detransitoned).

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, host Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy discuss a significant report from the Department of Health and Human Services titled "The Treatment of Pediatric Gender Dysphoria, Review of Evidence and Best Practices." The report highlights the current practices endorsed by major medical associations in the U.S., which include affirming youth's gender identities and offering families options for medical interventions such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy. The episode also features a statement from Dr. Susan Cressley, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, expressing concern over the contents of the HHS document. Tune in to explore the complexities of this important topic and its implications for families and children.

In this conversation, we discuss the challenges of balancing mental health, learning how to let thoughts and feelings float by without holding onto them, and the importance of knowing the difference between the end of the road and a bump in the road. We share the most recent update on Kirby's top surgery, and dive into the feelings that have come to surface as the journey continues to unfolds.

In this deeply emotional and controversial episode of Behind The Mike Podcast, host Mike Stone sits down with Jeff Younger, the Texas father whose battle to protect his son from gender transition has captured national attention.Jeff shares the harrowing story of his ex-wife beginning the process of transitioning their son at age two, the legal war that followed, and how his Christian faith has guided every decision—even when faced with prison for refusing to pay for what California courts define as "medical child support."

In this bonus episode, we honor the journey of Charlotte Dalwood—a speaker and writer whose journey is both deeply personal and incredibly moving. Charlotte opens up about what it was like growing up as a trans woman in a conservative evangelical home, navigating mental health struggles, gender dysphoria, and the path to embracing her true self. This conversation is raw, honest, and full of heart. We talk about the courage it takes to live authentically, the importance of creating safe, supportive spaces, and how simply listening—without judgment—can be a life-changing act. Charlotte's vulnerability reminds us of the healing power of sharing our stories and the connection that happens when we hold space for one another. Whether you're walking through a similar journey or just want to understand more deeply, this episode invites you into a conversation about empathy, acceptance, and the beauty of becoming who you truly are.Find out more about Charlotte and pick up her book, Until at Dawn We Wake, on her website: www.CharlotteDalwood.com.  Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

In this episode we discuss Kirby's journey towards top surgery, including the emotional preparation leading up to the consultation, the connection with the surgeon, and the impact of the surgery. We discuss the feelings of nervousness, research, and the importance of documenting the process. Listen in as we explore the emotional and physical journey surrounding top surgery, discussing the importance of body confidence, the role of support from friends and family, underlying fears, and the more intimate dynamics of our relationship.

Danielle May Laidley was known by a different name for the first 53 years of her life. We are so proud that this episode is a contributing factor to her reclaiming her narrative as a transgender woman. An extremely talented AFL footballer, Danielle would go on to become a highly respected coach, always keeping within arm’s reach the version of herself which felt most authentic. Danielle’s story, in its entirety, is so incredibly important that we had to split it over two big and special episodes. In this first part, we are introduced to phase 1 of her life: the footballer, the husband and the coach and with an addictive personality that caused her to become tough, fierce and obsessed with footy. Danielle discusses with Hugh, Ryan, and Josh the strict compartmentalisation of the different parts of her life during her AFL career, and the terrifying risks she took to satisfy the cravings to be her authentic self. You can watch the entire interview (Part One and Part Two) on YouTube, here – https://bit.ly/3FJ8Lw2

This is PART TWO of our chat with footballer, coach and uniter of people, Danielle Laidley. We HIGHLY recommend you go back and listen to part one if you haven’t heard it (linked below). In this episode, Danielle recounts how it felt to be publicly outed, her own voice removed as the media crafted their own narrative about her identity.

In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Conditions That Might Be Subject to Term Limitations or Exclusions – Understanding Them, and Why."Join attorney Nancy L. Cavey, a leading expert in disability claims, for an insightful discussion on medical conditions that may be subject to term limitations or exclusions. Many prospective disability applicants believe that if they have a medical condition and a doctor confirms they are disabled, they have an open-and-shut case. Unfortunately, this is often not the case - particularly when the disability is mental in nature, or when a physical disability is partially linked to a mental health condition. In today's session, Nancy L. Cavey will explore a range of medical conditions that could be subject to these limitations or exclusions and explain why.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - Drug Addiction / Substance Abuse and Your ERISA Disability ClaimTwo - Alzheimer's Disease and Your ERISA Disability Insurance ClaimThree - Gender Dysphoria and Your ERISA Disability Insurance ClaimWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

Anita Rani speaks to Emma Webber and Sinead O'Malley Kumar, mothers of Barnaby and Grace, both 19, who were killed in Nottingham in June 2023. They'll be responding to the findings of a major review of the NHS care of Valdo Calocane, the man who attacked their children. The Oscar-nominated actress Mikey Madison tells Clare McDonnell about playing the title role in Anora, a film about a sex worker in New York. Mikey spent months embedded in a strip club to fully immerse herself in the world. The film is nominated for six Academy Awards as well as BAFTAs and Golden Globes.New research has quantified for the first time how many young people have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria by GPs in England. Anita hears from Professor of Health Policy, Tim Doran, about the work academics at the University of York are doing. They studied a decade's worth of NHS records and discovered a 50-fold increase in this particular diagnosis between 2011 and 2021. However each general practice will only see one or two such patients each year. The West End star Marisha Wallace, the latest actor to play Sally Bowles in Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club in London, performs a song from the show.The actor and writer Daisy May Cooper talks to Clare McDonnell about the second series of the BBC female-friendship thriller, Am I Being Unreasonable, which she both co-wrote and stars in. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed Editor: Rebecca Myatt

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.widerlenspod.comThe DSM diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria are rooted in outdated sex-based stereotypes, reinforcing rigid and superficial notions of what it means to be male or female. These criteria often emphasize preferences in clothing, activities, and playmates, implying that natural variations in a child's behavior may signal a fundamental misalignment between their gender identity and biological sex.Historically, gender nonconformity in children was recognized as a common and unremarkable aspect of personality and development. However, cultural shifts and the rise of social media have amplified stereotypes, leading many to pathologize behaviors that once fell within the broad spectrum of normal childhood expression. A boy who enjoys dolls or a girl who prefers rough-and-tumble play is now more likely than ever to be viewed through a diagnostic lens that suggests “misalignment with their sex” rather than an expansion of what it means to be a boy or a girl.In this bonus episode for premium subscribers, Dr. Marieke den Ouden examines how the DSM's shift from “sex” to “gender” has introduced diagnostic ambiguity, increasing the risk of over-diagnosing children based on nonconformity to traditional gender roles. Highlighting inconsistencies across international definitions, she warns of the legal and policy ramifications of vague gender identity standards, particularly for women's rights and medical ethics. She presents a critical yet measured perspective, calling for greater clarity and scientific integrity. She advocates for a re-evaluation of gender dysphoria diagnosis to ensure that criteria are based on objective, measurable factors rather than social perceptions of gender roles, ensuring that medical and psychological interventions serve those in genuine need without unnecessarily pathologizing diverse expressions of personality and identity.Watch our full length episode with Marieke den Ouden: https://www.widerlenspod.com/p/episode-203For instructions on setting up a private feed to listen to our premium content in your favorite podcast app, visit https://www.widerlenspod.com/p/how-to-listen-to-our-full-premium.

She has over 10,000 hours of experience in education, both in the classroom and corporate sector. Even though she holds a Master's degree in education, she struggled to understand her neurodivergent and oppositional kids.  Inspired by her experience using Myers Briggs and the Enneagram with business teams, she spent over a decade researching temperament pattens to help family teams. She is a best-selling author and host of the Not So Normal Parenting podcast. Her podcast is entitled Not So Normal Parenting because not only are she and her kids neurodivergent but some of her life experiences, such as driving off a cliff her wedding night and going viral for embarrassing her seventeen-year old son by dancing on a snowy and jammed interstate, fall into that category. In addition to being talked about by Hoda Kotb, the BackStreet Boys, and Princess Kate, even U2 singer Bono mentioned the incident in his autobiography. Because Wendy herself has struggled as a helicopter parent, a cranky parent and an embarrassing parent, she wants to help other parents struggle……..a little bit less!
