Julia Mason is a practicing pediatrician, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and a founding member of the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM). A politically homeless, feline-affirming, bleeding-heart liberal who wants to pause pediatric transition, Mason raises grave concerns about the “affirmation model” which locks in adolescent identities at a time kids cycle through them as part of growing up. We learn the AAP actively suppresses internal dissent while profiting from corporate endorsements; that there are no empirical criteria for identifying which kids are “actually” trans; that small children believe whatever adults - especially their parents - tell them; and that Corinna is drinking a lot of electrolytes.  Links: Wheaton Labs: https://wheaton-labs.com/ Julia Mason on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JuliaMasonMD1 SEGM, the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine https://segm.org/ Reconsidering Informed Consent: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35300570/ The Myth of “Reliable Research”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36593754/ Gender doctor praises Leelah Alcorn “boldly” committing suicide: https://www.thedistancemag.com/p/leader-of-alabama-gender-clinic-praises --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/heterodorx/support

TW: Discussion of suicide. . . . LGBTQ people often have to deal with rejection, despair, or loneliness. Sometimes that can lead to a particularly dark place. In this episode we look at the story of transgender girl Leelah Alcorn who, after coming out to her religious parents, faced rejection, isolation, and abuse that led her to take her own life at the young age of 17.  If you or someone you know may be at risk of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. If you're a young LGBTQ person and need to talk to someone, call The Trevor Project's 24-hour crisis hotline for youth at 1-866-488-7386.

Content Note: Graphic Descriptions of Sexual Violence A few years ago, I had a sit-down with an Ohio state lawmaker. He had proposed a North Carolina style bathroom bill for Ohio. He laid out the basics of the bill in a press release or a policy statement on his website or something like that, I don’t remember which. But in the news story I watched, he invited comment from the trans community. Like other conservative lawmakers, he was eager to make a show of claiming that he didn’t think of trans people as predators, its just that giving us rights makes other people vulnerable. Of course he didn’t frame it that way, but its exactly what he was saying.   I emailed him, and was surprised when he responded offering to buy me coffee and meet with me to discuss it. We met at a Starbucks by a mall close to me. He was friendly. He was polite. At least at first. We opened the meeting by talking about Leelah Alcorn, her death was still fresh in our minds at this point. He insisted on dead naming her. He did that childish thing where I would say Leelah, and he would respond by saying her dead name. It wasn’t the best way to start the conversation.   But as my friend Jonah and I sat there talking to him, he seemed receptive. He nodded and admitted several times that he had just not realized how diverse the trans community was, how many challenges we faced, and how difficult laws like this would make things for us. By the end of the conversation, I don’t know if I was confident we’d changed his mind, but he seemed changed enough that I had hope. Not a chance we was going to turn into a trans rights champion or anything. But maybe he’d at least realize the bathroom bill was a bad idea and drop it. We weren’t the only meeting he took. He met with several other members of the trans community. They all told him the same things that Jonah and I did. And in every conversation, he acted surprised to hear what he was hearing. It was new to him every time.   Via email, Jonah and I pressed him with questions. Jonah dug up statistics about sexual assault in this representative’s district. He asked why those statistics didn’t spur him into action, but the idea of trans people in bathrooms did. I sent him a report from a group of domestic violence and prevention organizations stating THEY didn’t think bathroom bills were the answer. I asked him why he thought these experts we wrong. He had no answers for either.   It became very clear over time that he was making a show of having the conversation, but he was not listening. Its one thing to have a conversation. Its another thing entirely to actually listen. It seemed Representative Becker was very interested in being able to say he had the conversation. Not so much the actual listening part.   It also seems that was very much the case with Christine Blasey- Ford and her testimony about her experience with Brett Kavanaugh. There was a big show of having the hearing. She was asked deeply personal and invasive questions. She was challenged and put on display on the biggest possible stage. We heard lots of flowery language that sounded like compassion from the Republican lawmakers that grilled her. They made one hell of a show about having this hearing. But they never really listen, do they? Lawmakers love a good dog and pony show. Let’s get out the cameras, the microphones, the fancy nameplates. Let’s make a good show of it, so we can do absolutely nothing in response.   Whenever there’s a sexual assault story that makes the news, we see scores of people come forward with their stories. Some as catharsis, some as solidarity, some as a call to DO something about this problem. And it seems nothing ever changes.   I’ve never experienced sexual assault. Sexual harassment? Definitely, but never assault. And I know how gross I feel when thinking back to my experiences, and how reluctant I am to talk about them, I can only imagine what its like to be a sexual assault survivor in this environment over the last few weeks and months. But we don’t have to imagine do we? We all know someone who is affected. Whether we realize it or not, we do. And as this show has always been about amplifying the voices of the marginalized, that’s what today is going to be about. We have three brave individuals who’ve decided to share their stories with us today and their thoughts and feelings about existing in our world and in our current political climate as sexual assault survivors. ____________________________________   If you're a survivor of sexual violence and you're looking for a supportive community, check out A Voice For The Innocent.

Then we mention Leelah Alcorn and conversion therapy, two things which are very much related. If we’ve learned anything from the life and death of Leelah Alcorn, it’s that transgender youth need acceptance and that conversion therapy must end. Conversion therapy is not only a denial of the validity of someone’s sexual or gender identity, but also a heinous torture.On the brighter side, we throw Stonewall and Laverne Cox some love.CreditsSpecial Guest (G&S Specialist) : Klaus McHendryIntro/Outro : Cosmo Cavanaugh and Tracy MedcalfSound Editing: Cosmo CavanaughScript : Cosmo Cavanaugh and Tracy MedcalfHosted by, all the above, and : Anne Beaudoin and Kyle MitchellMusic“Ark” by Ship Wrek & Zookeepership Wrek SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/theshipwrek Ship Wrek YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/theshipwrek Zookeepers SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/zookeepersdk NCS Release: https://soundcloud.com/nocopyrightsounds/ship-wrek-zookeepers-ark-ncs-release NCS YouTube Video: https://goo.gl/Teud5J http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/“Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden Cover)” by barbarabrowninghttps://soundcloud.com/barbarabrowning/black-hole-sun barbarabrowning SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/barbarabrowning http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Social MediaiTunes: goo.gl/bsW0Ab YouTube: goo.gl/3qMdwm Blog: goo.gl/3Y6NkO Twitter: goo.gl/vM5HUD SoundCloud: goo.gl/MjRcVt Reddit: goo.gl/6CcA7l Facebook: goo.gl/b0g3xA © 2015 Geometric Octopus Some Rights Reservedhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/GeometricOctopusPodcast

In this episode Kaiya discusses her work on The Queer Life and how she found herself hosting a Queer focused radio show in the bay area, how she found herself working with #AllBlackLivesMatter, Planet Transgender, and of course why she at one time had to delay a show because of Prune Packers (get your mind out of the gutter they're a baseball team). Kaiya then delves deep into her personal life discussing coming out to her family, her pre-transition life, and some very difficult times that she made it through.  Although to show that it is not all serious she also claims she is able to live off the land and kill large predators with her bare hands - well I guess I make that claim, and Kaiya doesn't argue it. After the interview I share some original music by the late Leelah Alcorn, turns out her incredibly stupid parents weren't able to erase her life and work from the internet.  Perhaps they should've spent more time loving their daughter instead of trying to squish her into a box she didn't belong in.

Still struggling with the inherent violence that brews in misinformed and careless religious and other teachings. Changes taking place, not quickly enough to get to Leelah Alcorn or her family. Seeking, too, to find ways to challenge us all to do more - however we may. .

All kinds of uplifting topics in this one, including the Leelah Alcorn saga and the death of the Finnish trans law updates. Because who needs human rights anyway?

Earlier this week, Actors Theatre began its run of a show called “The Brothers Size,” by playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney. “The Brothers Size” is part of McCraney’s trilogy, “The Brother/Sister Plays,” which explore ideas of freedom and tradition, influenced by Yoruban mythology and storytelling. McCraney has been called the next August Wilson. That can be partially attributed to the fact that there are so few prominent African American playwrights, no doubt, but either way, he's carrying an important mantle. At age 33, he'd had plays debut at the Royal Court London, New York’s Vineyard Theatre, the Young Vic, and Steppenwolf Theatre, where he is an artist in residence. This week, we revisit our conversation with McCraney from August of 2013, when we spoke about about "The Brothers Size" and how it mirrors his own roots, and why he’s drawn to tell the stories he tells. In Juicy Fruit, the Cosby saga continues, this week with Phylicia Rashad and Keisha Knight Pulliam commenting that the allegations don't reflect the man they know. But as Doc says, "it really makes no sense to ask women who worked with Cosby to speak to his character." Speaking of Keisha Knight-Pulliam, she's on this season of Celebrity Apprentice, and on one episode, is asked to call Bill Cosby for help with a challenge. Note: Our show contains spoilers, so skip 11:45-12:30 if you're not caught up! And we try to make some sense out of the sad and senseless loss of Leelah Alcorn, a trans teen who committed suicide after being rejected and placed in conversion therapy by her parents. Her story has shed light on what trans teenagers go through, especially when they don't have support at home; our trans brothers and sisters are at much higher risk for suicide than the general population. Fruitcakes, if you are experiencing abuse or thoughts about self-harm, please reach out to the Trevor Project, at 1-866-488-7386, or the GLBT Help Center.

Join the Transgender Trio for the first episode of the new year on your 'probably' favorite transgender podcast. This week, we take a look at the mail pile that build up over the holidays.  Then we talk about Leelah Alcorn and the suicide note that was left behind for the world to see, as well as her plea to 'fix society'.  We also rejoice at the trailer for Boy Meets Girl, and really want to see a romantic comedy with a trans girl done right.  We talk about how Rolling Stone felt it could name the 11 reasons why 2014 was the year of Transgender success... ?  And we talk about the iconic, and controversial, cover of Candy magazine. So join us for this weeks episode of the Transition Transmssion podcast. www.transitiontransmission.com@TransgenderTrio Runtime: 88 minutes

The bulk of this show was actually a very fun Patron of the Week interview, but I also had some thoughts on the suicide of Leelah Alcorn. Her death is incredibly sad, but I hope her words may help others.
