Podcasts about Gender dysphoria

Trans kids exist, and they need your support. No, they're not getting surgeries... but cis kids and intersex kids sure are! Hopefully that bothers you, but it sure doesn't bother the people trying to take away the literally lifesaving care that trans kids need. Get a whole mountain of facts within, so you finally understand what's really going on (and why the entire legitimate professional healthcare industry is opposed to outlawing care for trans kids). Karla, the cis mom of a trans kid, joins us to discuss how you should give your kids agency!

“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.

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?

In this week's episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor hands the mic to legendary rock frontman Keith Caputo (formerly Mina Caputo), who delivers an unfiltered, soul-baring monologue about his de-transitioning journey, gender dysphoria, and reclaiming masculine identity. After nearly 20 years of living as a trans woman, Keith shares why he walked away from hormone therapy, breast implants, and the illusion that transitioning would heal his deep-rooted trauma. He dives into the psychological, spiritual, and physical costs of medical transition, exposing what the mainstream won't say about gender ideology, identity confusion, and pharmaceutical agendas. Best known as the iconic voice of Life of Agony, Keith holds nothing back as he speaks candidly for most of the episode, dropping truth bombs on trauma, gender politics, the music industry, cancel culture, and why real healing starts from within. This episode is raw, controversial, and requires listening for anyone questioning the dominant narrative around gender identity. Episode Highlights: de-transitioning, gender ideology, trauma healing, magic mushrooms, radical authenticity, music industry truth, cancel culture, spiritual awakening, hormonal side effects, cultural programming, psychedelic therapy, reactive attachment disorder       Takeaways:   Fearlessness and authenticity attract true collaborators The music industry rewards conformity, not raw talent Trauma often underlies gender dysphoria and identity shifts Psychedelics can help heal deep-rooted emotional wounds The medical system is creating lifelong patients, not healing Cultural trends are driven by profit, not truth True empowerment comes from within, not external surgery   If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself. Screenshot it, throw it up on Instagram, and tag @thekaylorbetts or @awakeandwinning so we can share the love.

  The Thompson Show on WWCR – August 29, 2025 | Episode 4 In this explosive installment, Todd Thompson confronts the cultural and ideological fault lines rupturing across America and beyond. The show opens with a searing breakdown of the Minneapolis school shooting, committed by a transgender mass killer. Todd dissects its manifesto, the media's cowardly deflections, and how radical identity politics and grievance culture directly feed into increasing violence. Key topics include:

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

At nearly 85 years old, Walter reflects on a lifetime of struggle, trauma, and searching for identity. From childhood confusion and abuse, to years of living under a false identity, trying to be a woman, Walter shares the painful truth about his journey — and the powerful redemption he found in Jesus Christ. His testimony is a sober warning, but ultimately a story of hope, healing, and restoration that can only be found in Christ.Listen on Podcast Spotify Podcast ⇨ https://spoti.fi/3RBKdq3Apple Podcast ⇨ https://apple.co/3evzCuuConnect with ushttps://www.facebook.com/delafetestimonieshttps://www.instagram.com/delafetestimonies/Credits:Testimony by Walt HeyerDirected by Eric Villatoro Interviewed by Eric Villatoro Edited By Joshua GayleAudio Mixed by Paul Nicholas Testimony Recorded in Efland, North CarolinaDelafé Testimonies is a global evangelistic project with the mission of creating the world's largest archive of Jesus testimonies until His return. Chapters00:00 Introduction00:22 Warning00:28 Introducing Walt Heyer02:32 Being Physically and Psychologically Abused as a Child07:00 Being Sexually Abused By a Family Member 09:06 Hearing About Transgenderism for the First Time13:16 Crossdressing, Success and Drinking16:26 Being Diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria 20:42 How I Met My Gender Specialist 25:48 The Surgery31:35 Going Back to Church34:13 Opening Up to My Church about My Struggles36:57 Encountering Jesus During a Therapy Session41:25 Getting Sober and Growing in My Faith42:48 Starting My Ministry to Those Confused About their Sexuality46:18 “What Caused You to Not Like Who You Are?”49:48 Hormones and Surgery Can't Change Your Gender 54:31 What about the Pressure of the Times I Lived In?57:14 Doctors Admit that Surgery Didn't Change My Gender58:42 Jesus Isn't a Cop Out, He's the Way Out!1:01:30 The Deathbed Confession of My Gender Therapist1:05:44 What Happened to the Family I Left Behind1:08:01 The Irreversible Effects of the Surgery1:11:22 My Current Wife's Acceptance of Me1:13:18 Who is Jesus To You?1:15:08 Prayer1:18:35 Final WordsI Underwent Surgery and Tried to Live as a Woman, Until This Happened… (Testimony)Walt Heyer Testimony

Physical touch is something I've struggled with for most of my life, because it's invariably tangled up in my gender dysphoria, and I was so surprised to see how it all shifted for me after transition. And I'm not alone! I've seen so many trans and nonbinary people struggle with it, so I ran a survey to get your thoughts, and you flooded me with them! This week I'm going to discuss my own complicated feelings on the topic, and then over the next two weeks we're going to dive into the wealth of data you all sent me to see if we can find some commonalities!

Few social issues have proven quite as controversial or emotional as the fraught subject of gender dysphoria treatment for minors. In both the UK and US, the question has vexed doctors, lawyers and politicians. The balance between the medical and psychological wellbeing of trans youngsters presents unique challenges for physicians and legislators, and it feels like we are yet to alight upon a compassionate solution. To discuss, the Law & Disorder team are joined by two great experts from either side of the pond. David D. Cole is a top US constitutional lawyer and former National Legal Director of the ACLU, who has brought challenges to the absolutist position of American state legislators; Hilary Cass is a retired paediatrician and author of the Cass Review into gender care in England, who now sits alongside Charlie and Helena in the House of Lords. In this discussion, they probe the position of both courts and the medical services, in the hope that clarity might be found in such a challenging issue.If you have questions, criticisms, praise or other feedback, please do send your thoughts to us via lawanddisorderfeedback@gmail.com!Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast.Hosted by: Charlie Falconer, Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn.Executive Producer and Editor: Nick Hilton.Associate Producer: Ewan Cameron.Music by Richard Strauss, arranged and performed by Anthony Willis & Brett Bailey.

Once paraded in the media as a hero, Dr. James Henry became the symbol of a “progressive” military—the first openly transgender active-duty officer. But the story the public saw was only part of the truth. In this episode, Dr. Henry shares what really happened behind the scenes. The early struggles with identity. The weight of religious shame. The celebration that came with transitioning—and the breakdown that followed. He opens up about being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and failed by the very systems meant to protect him. Now, years later, Dr. Henry faces a federal indictment after a confrontation with the FBI. This is not a story of affirmation. It's a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of speaking out.

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.

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.
