In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kristopher Kaliebe, a child, adult, and forensic psychiatrist known for his critical stance on “gender-affirming care.” We delve into the complexities surrounding the current landscape of gender identity and the implications for mental health care. Dr. Kaliebe shares his journey into this contentious field, highlighting his concerns about the medicalization of gender dysphoria and the potential harm it poses to vulnerable youth.We explore the concept of "illness identity," where young people may gravitate towards labels that define their struggles, often leading to over-diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Dr. Kaliebe emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances behind statements like "I feel like a woman" or "I feel like a boy," urging listeners to consider the psychological factors at play. We also discuss the troubling trend of social transition among children and the societal pressures that contribute to this phenomenon.Throughout our conversation, we question the integrity of professional organizations that have adopted advocacy over science, leading to a lack of diverse perspectives in psychiatric practice. This episode aims to shed light on the urgent need for a more balanced dialogue in mental health care, encouraging professionals and parents alike to critically evaluate the current approaches to gender identity and treatment.Kristopher Kaliebe, MD is a Professor of Psychiatry at University of South Florida, in Tampa Florida. He is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry. He is a Distinguished Fellow at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).His clinical work has been primarily in University clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers and juvenile corrections. At USF Dr. Kaliebe instructs medical students, psychiatry residents, child and adolescent psychiatry fellows, and forensic psychiatry fellows.From 2013-2021 he served as co-chair of AACAP's Media Committee. From 2016 to 2022 he was the liaison between the AACAP and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Kaliebe's publications and presentations include the effects of digital technologies, gender, psychotherapy, juvenile, corrections, mind-body medicine, nutrition, and mental health in primary care settings. He is concerned about naïve interventionalism in medicine.Restore Childhood: https://restorechildhood.com/  00:00 Start[00:01:43] Gender-affirming care skepticism.[00:03:39] Early onset gender dysphoria.[00:08:10] Gender dysphoria diagnosis concerns.[00:13:07] Illness identity versus stigma.[00:16:44] Illness identity and social transition.[00:21:08] Gender identity and social transition.[00:25:37] Gender identity's incoherent evolution.[00:29:31] Symbolic equivalence in identity.[00:32:01] Comfort and identity in gender.[00:38:01] Psychiatry's response to advocacy pressures.[00:39:49] Advocacy versus science in medicine.[00:45:34] Institutional takeover as a virus.[00:48:31] Emotional communication in media.[00:51:05] Classical liberalism in education.[00:55:24] Parental caution in therapy choices.[01:00:06] Overprotecting youth in society.[01:05:38] Building identity through creativity.[01:08:50] Consequences of overprotective parenting.[01:10:32] Consequences in parenting.[01:15:50] Male identity and societal challenges.[01:18:41] Restore Childhood initiative.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

A Clare member of the Oireachtas Media Committee insists that keeping the TV license in place is necessary, as the traditional funding model is 'broken'. It's expected that the charge for the TV licence will remain at €160, as part of media minister Catherine Martin's revised funding model for RTÉ, which will go before cabinet tomorrow. It details the need for 'additional compliance measures' including identifing those who don't pay their TV licence, with a first time offender liable for a €1,000 fine. Clare Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley says public service broadcasting is under huge pressure after reductions in funding from advertisers.

The media committee have recommended that the TV licence fee be abolished. We get the latest on this with Pat Leahy Political Editor, Irish Times.

Speaking to Claire this morning was Imelda Munster, Sinn Fein spokesperson on Media and Member of the Public Accounts and Media Committee.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/247bmfpm Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Marty Morrissey apologizes for borrowing a car. Leithscéal gafa ag Marty Morrissey as carr a thógáil ar iasacht. RTÉ Gaelic sports commentator Marty Morrissey has confirmed that he is the staff member in the organization who had a car on loan for five years without obtaining permission from RTÉ. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an tráchtaire cluichí Gaelacha le RTÉ Marty Morrissey gurb eisean an ball foirne san eagraíocht a raibh gluaisteán ar iasacht aige ar feadh cúig bliana gan cead a bheith faighte aige ó RTÉ. RTÉ executive Adrian Lynch mentioned the matter at a Media Committee hearing yesterday but did not name the person involved. Luaigh feidhmeannach RTÉ Adrian Lynch an scéal ag éisteacht den Choiste um Meáin inné ach níor thug sé ainm an té a bhí i gceist. In a statement he issued this evening, Marty Morrissey said that it was and apologized for his indiscretion. I ráiteas a d'eisigh sé tráthnóna, dúirt Marty Morrissey gurb é a bhí ann agus ghabh sé leithscéal faoina mhístuaim. He claimed that he made an informal arrangement with Renault to borrow a car from the company after being the man of the house at several events they held in 2017. Mhaígh sé go ndearna sé socrú neamhfhoirmiúil de mhaoil an bhaige le Renault carr a thógáil ar iasacht ón gcomhlacht tar éis dó bheith ina fhear an tí ag roinnt ócáidí a reáchtáil siad in 2017. He confirmed that he had received permission from RTÉ to take part in those events and said that he had not been paid for them and, in fact, had not asked for any payment. Dheimhnigh sé go raibh cead faighte aige ó RTÉ páirt a ghlacadh sna hócáidí sin agus dúirt nár íocadh é astu agus, go deimhin, nár iarr sé aon íocaíocht. Instead, said Marty Morrissey, Renault offered to lend him a car and he accepted that offer. Ina áit sin, arsa Marty Morrissey, thairg Renault carr a thabhairt ar iasacht dó agus ghlac sé leis an tairiscint sin. He said he returned the car to Renault two weeks ago a few days after the controversy over certain payments made to presenter Ryan Tubridy came to light. Dúirt sé gur thug sé an gluaisteán ar ais do Renault coicís ó shin cúpla lá tar éis don chonspóid faoi íocaíochtaí áirithe a tugadh don láithreoir Ryan Tubridy teacht chun solais. The Muirgheasach also revealed that Renault has never asked him to do any publicity for the company on television, radio or any digital platforms. Thug an Muirgheasach le fios freisin nár iarr Renault riamh air aon bholscaireacht a dhéanamh ar son an chomhlachta ar an teilifís, ar an raidió ná ar aon ardáin dhigiteacha.

This week's Floating Voter podcast on Independent.ie took a look at how social media abuse should be tackled by the Government. Fianna Fáil's Niamh Smyth and Sinn Féin's Louise O'Reilly shared their own experiences of some of the hate they have received online. Deputy O'Reilly revealed that she was this week contacted by Gardaí who inquired about her home security. She also said that she has been previously targeted by the now-removed Barbara J Pym Twitter account, which former Sunday Independent columnist Eoghan Harris admitted to helping to run. Cavan Monaghan Deputy Smith, who is the chair of the Oireachtas Arts and Media Committee said that as part of pre-legislative scrutiny into the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill, anonymous accounts on social media should be banned. She also said that as part of the new legislation, a new Commissioner would be set up which would examine complaints by individuals into online content. The Commissioner would then work to remove harmful content faster. “There have to be real sanctions put in place,” said Deputy Smyth. “These orchestrated pile-ons have to be stopped and that would be what the new online safety commissioner would do,” she added.
