Podcasts about patient privacy

Send us Fan MailDr. Muthu Alagappan is the Founder and CEO of Counsel Health, the company automating access to high-quality, personalized medical advice from doctors. Counsel recently closed a $25M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz and Google Ventures, following an $11M seed round that included A16Z, Asymmetric Capital Partners, Floodgate Fund, and Pear VC.He holds an MD from Stanford Medicine and a B.S. in Biomechanical Engineering from Stanford, and was among the earliest AI researchers to publish on clinical applications of machine intelligence.In this episode, Muthu draws on 15 years at the intersection of AI research and frontline clinical medicine to explore the shift toward semi-autonomous care.In this conversation, we discuss:How AI addresses the limitations of traditional primary care by offering a highly personalized, knowledgeable, and always available medical experience.Why patients might leapfrog clinicians in their willingness to adopt AI for medical advice, and how this shift challenges the traditional identity of physicians.What semi-autonomous care actually looks like in practice, and how Counsel Health uses a clinician cockpit to augment human compassion with real-time machine intelligence.How to leverage population-level patterns without compromising patient privacy.Why the double standard applied to AI is misplaced, and why Muthu argues we should hold AI to a much higher benchmark than human doctors simply.What the future of global healthcare could look like when cognitive medical expertise is fully democratized, ensuring that a patient's zip code no longer dictates the quality of care they receive.Explore the Conversation00:00 Intro & AI Fun Fact: Big Data Limitations and Bias in Clinical AI03:52 Meet Dr. Muthu Alagappan: From Stanford AI Researcher to Counsel Health CEO06:51 Why Primary Care Falls Short: The Case for AI-Augmented Medicine09:05 Human Doctors Are Human: How Patients Are Adopting AI Medical Advice12:20 Patient Privacy and Population Health: Learning Without Training on Data14:17 Inside the Clinician Cockpit: Real-Time AI Support for Doctors16:17 Why Counsel Health Employs Its Own Physicians: Messaging-Based Care19:00 From Semi-Autonomous to Fully Autonomous Care: Healthcare's Next Era24:19 AI Ethics in Medicine: Safety Standards, Model Values, and Data Ownership27:22 The AI Double Standard: Why Machines Deserve a Higher Benchmark Than Doctors31:07 Founder Lessons: Building a Category-Defining Healthcare AI Company33:53 Rewriting the Commencement Address: Medicine as Lifelong Learning35:37 Where to Connect with Dr. Muthu Alagappan and Counsel HealthResourcesSubscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Muthu on LinkedInAI fun fact article: Artificial Intelligence in Health Care: The Ethical Frontier via ConexiantOn the future of AI, Silicon Valley and Venture Capital LIVE EVENT: See how leading enterprises are using agentic AI to give employees back 4–6 productive hours every week.

Developing a cancer drug is one of the most expensive, slow, and failure-prone processes in modern science. PharosAI is trying to change that – by building multimodal, AI-ready datasets from donated cancer tissue samples and making them available to researchers, biotech companies, and clinicians.In this episode, Technical Director Adrian La Porta speaks with PharosAI's Dr Lucie Burgess (COO) and Dr Emma Colliver (Research Fellow) about what it takes to curate cancer data at scale, why federated learning matters for patient privacy, where AI is already transforming diagnostics, and what synthetic patients could mean for clinical trials.Whether you work in life sciences, pharma manufacturing, digital health, or clinical data governance, understanding how AI is reshaping the drug discovery pipeline has direct implications for how and when new facilities will need to be built.

The AI conversation walked into the doctor's office today. Should you let your physician record your visit? Should you trust an AI scribe to listen to the most private conversation you'll have this year? AI scribes — software that transcribes the patient encounter directly into the medical record — are quietly becoming default at major health systems.The last three days we talked about institutions. County. State. Federal. Today is about your body.A new vendor category got born — HIPAA-compliant AI transcription. Every health system in America buys this in 18 months. The vendor that wins owns the medical record. But Whisper hallucinates. In medical settings that's not a bug — it's a malpractice claim. One fabricated symptom in a chart and the wrong drug gets prescribed.There's also a workforce story. 150,000 medical scribes work in America right now. Every one of them sits next to a doctor for a living. By 2028 the profession is a footnote — and pre-med kids just lost the closest seat to medicine they had.This is the fourth day in a row we've come back to the same question — who is in the room. We've talked about who got told. Who got paid. Who got asked. Today it's who got recorded.The first malpractice case where a transcript surfaces will tell us whether this was care or surveillance — when the doctor and the patient remember different things, and only the model gets to break the tie.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — The exam room becomes the new frontier0:25 — MiniDoge: HIPAA transcription is a brand-new vendor category0:50 — Nyx: Whisper hallucinates — fabricated symptoms in charts1:15 — HH: the chart isn't a record of what happened1:30 — MiniDoge: 150K medical scribes, gone by 20282:00 — Saarvis: the exam room has a third listener now⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----

When someone is admitted to hospital for a mental health crisis, families are often told: “We can’t share patient information.” But is privacy legislation really the barrier it’s made out to be? In this episode of Look Again: Mental Illness Re-examined, we explore the tension between confidentiality and family involvement in care, and why culture, not the law, may be keeping loved ones in the dark. Host Faydra Aldridge is joined by Monica, a parent who shares her lived experience navigating the system, and psychiatrist Dr. Richard O’Reilly, who unpacks what Canadian privacy laws actually allow, and why they’re so often misunderstood. It’s a candid conversation about advocacy, accountability, and the vital role families can play in recovery.Timecodes:(01:05) Legal representation and challenges accessing medical information(02:40) Resilience, compassion, and vulnerability during mental illness(04:01) Being excluded from care during early hospitalizations(06:44) Gaps in medical records and sharing collateral information(08:10) Limits of Section 9 and Section 7 representation agreements(10:00) Family’s role in preventing adverse medication reactions(12:27) Anosognosia and early intervention challenges(14:04) Capacity assessment issues in Section 9 agreements(16:23) Recommendations for improving the mental health system(18:16) Experiences of involuntary hospitalization and need for support(21:47) Gaps between families and care teams(23:18) Expert explains privacy laws and clinician practices(29:42) Family involvement improves patient outcomes(30:11) Solutions: training, program inclusion, and fighting stigmaResources:- Full video from FASMI and Dr O'Rielly See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A subpoena from the Department of Justice isn't just paperwork, it's a powerful tool that can drain resources, intimidate providers, and threaten patient care.  In this eye-opening episode of Succeed In Medicine, host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes back Dr. Crystal Beal, along with Adrian Levitt from the ACLU of Washington. In June 2025, Dr. Beal's small private practice received one of over 20 identical DOJ subpoenas targeting providers of gender-affirming care for adolescents. While large institutions like Boston Children's, Seattle Children's, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia also received subpoenas, the impact on a solo practitioner is uniquely daunting. Dr. Beal describes the anti-climactic moment the subpoena arrived via their accountant and the immediate decision to fight it with pro bono support from the ACLU, Arnold & Porter, and Perkins Coie. The conversation unpacks the broader context: the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Skrmetti, executive actions, funding cuts, and the federal government's stated goal of ending gender-affirming care for minors. Adrian explains how the DOJ is using the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) in a novel way, traditionally applied to drug manufacturers, to investigate individual physicians. The subpoena demanded extensive records, including patient names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, training materials, and communications with pharmaceutical reps. Throughout the episode, they emphasize their ethical obligation as a physician to provide evidence-based, life-saving care and reflect on the deeper moral questions raised by this moment in history. Three Actionable Takeaways: Know your rights and secure legal support early: If you receive a government subpoena or face regulatory pressure, contact organizations like the ACLU or the Abortion Defense Network immediately. Do not assume you must comply right away. Document and practice ethically, but prepare for scrutiny: Continue providing medically necessary, evidence-based care while understanding that political targeting of certain specialties is increasing. Build relationships with legal counsel before crises hit. Speak up and combat misinformation: Physicians have a unique platform in their communities. Learn about gender-affirming care if it's within your scope, talk openly with colleagues and patients, and stand against efforts to criminalize or restrict legitimate medical practice. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school! About the Guests: Dr. Crystal Beal is a board-certified family medicine physician and founder of Queer Doc, providing expert, individualized queer and gender-affirming medical care. A nonbinary femme with lived experience in the community, Dr. Beal has extensive training in sexual health, queer health, and gender-affirming care. They also offer continuing education on transgender medicine through QueerCME.com. Adrian Levitt is an attorney with the ACLU of Washington, specializing in protecting access to gender-affirming care and defending providers against government overreach.

In this episode, Jenny shares key insights from Hedy & Hopp's 2025 patient privacy research. Analyzing 254 provider and payor websites, the audit shows a decline in Google Analytics 4 usage, a rise in server-side tagging, and improved compliance as Universal Analytics is removed by many. However, risky practices persist, with 29.92% of sites still using at least one conversion tracking pixel and some relying on non-HIPAA-compliant form tools. Meanwhile, more organizations are exploring alternative analytics solutions, and a growing number of marketers are operating without any tracking at all.   Resources 2024's Patient Privacy Findings Podcast Episode: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/wearemarketinghappy/episodes/By-The-Numbers-The-Current-State-of-Healthcare-Marketing-Tools-e2itnm7/a-ab770oe                Infographic: https://hedyandhopp.com/blog/2025-patient-privacy-findings/   Connect with Jenny: Email: jenny@hedyandhopp.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennybristow/   If you enjoyed this episode we'd love to hear your feedback!

Cody Shandraw, President and Co-Founder of Healing Realty Trust, aims to provide robust mental and behavioral health treatment facilities. The lack of infrastructure has been a significant hurdle for expanding the commercialization of drugs that require longer in-office visits and space to accommodate the needs of patients undergoing treatments. The emerging field of psychedelics for treating neurological conditions like PTSD requires clinicians to understand the physical requirements for treatment facilities to provide privacy and comfort during the extended time necessary for many of these treatments.  Cody explains, "In 2020, it was a really interesting stat that I was made aware of at one of the conferences down here in Miami. It was around a drug called Spravato, which is an intranasal ketamine drug. And they were very excited about the launch. It was in development for quite some time, and unfortunately, it didn't commercialize, I think, to their expectations. I asked one of the drug reps down here in Florida why he thought that was, and he said it was a really simple answer: the lack of infrastructure." "It's a unique drug, and we've only seen this a couple of times. Maybe proton therapy or dialysis centers where when a new therapy is approved, you need that infrastructure to go along with that therapy. And that is what Spravato was. You actually had to be in a clinic for two hours after administration for Spravato. So it was a very unique thing. And a lot of the legacy behavioral mental health providers that would be the target market for that drug, they didn't want to disrupt normal patient inflows into their clinic. So it took a couple of years. When that drug was launched, there were less than a hundred clinics in the United States offering that. Today, there are 2,700 of those clinics, and now Spravato is a blockbuster drug." #HealingRealtyTrust #CommercialRealEstate #BehavioralHealth #EmergingTherapies #PsychedelicAssistedTherapy #PatientAccess #HealthcareInfrastructure #ImprovingBehavioralHealth HealingRT.com Download the transcript here

Data sharing platform Health Gorilla surveyed more than 1,200 consumers to gauge their opinion about the privacy of their health data and which companies should be allowed to access it.

In today's episode, Jenny breaks down the fundamentals of building a successful content marketing strategy, using the example of the multi-pronged content marketing strategy Hedy and Hopp built for St. Louis Children's Hospital with two key components: A separate website to aggregate the content became an “owned” platform that offered a huge SEO boost, and allowed for creative flexibility compared to the main property. It was important to have a platform to aggregate content, too, because actual social channels shift over time. A dedicated YouTube channel the brand to drive more organic traffic, and the SEO value for the YouTube channel is also tremendous. As new social channels pop up, the brand has flexibility to try them without putting all of their eggs in one basket. Jenny shares a few things to keep in mind when building a content marketing strategy from the ground up, which include the following: Content Strategy. Understand what topics are trending in the healthcare space you're in by reviewing monthly search trends. Create a big picture plan quarterly or biannually to stay relevant. Optimization. Make sure content is personalized by platform, as different platforms require different optimizations when it comes to content length, style, and strategy.  Goals. Align your content structure with your goals. The original goal for St. Louis Children's was to improve brand perception by the community (which surveys showed we accomplished), but we have very clear new patient goals also. For example, if a new doc comes on board and needs their schedule filled, you can feature them with a clear “Book Dr. Sally now” CTA and their schedule will fill up if you do it right. Paid Support. Bolster organic optimizations with paid promotions to ensure new content and topics reach your target audience. Video Production. Don't let video resources stop you from creating content. Your videos don't have to have super high production! While you may want to earmark certain topics and content for higher production value, sometimes lower quality video can be seen as more trustworthy by consumers. One of St. Louis Children's Hospital's most popular series for MomDocs came from a Facebook Live that was filmed on an iPhone! Patient Privacy. Keep patient privacy top of mind. Even if your content is on a separate property, it's still a part of your organization. Make sure that the analytics and privacy solutions you use for your main property carry over.

We discuss who may be behind this cultural push, why you should care and what you should do about it. Finally, we discuss clips of actual transgender individuals who deeply regret their decisions and the conversation between Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Rogan on the subject.   Subscribe and leave a 5-star review! ----more---- Donate to support the show by going to https://givesendgo.com/redpillrevolution   Our website https://redpillrevolution.co/    Protect your family and support the Red Pill Revolution Podcast with Affordable Life Insurance.

We are going to dive right into it today, to this week's episode is going to be on the Met Walsh documentary of What Is a Woman. You heard that right? Um, we're also gonna touch on Joe Rogan, who had a, uh, podcast that came out yesterday also talking about this topic. He gave some of his opinions, talked about some wild stuff, including his friend, uh, who's a teachers, friend's wife who's a teacher having their child. Literally convince a school to put a litter box in a bathroom because they identify as a kitten . This is how crazy society has gotten. Um, so we're gonna dive into all that. There's also some, um, homeland, or I'm sorry, uh, Health and Human Services documents that were really recently released that Joe Rogan and Tulsa Gabbard touched on, um, which is actually a little bit different than what they thought, uh, after I pulled up the document. And we'll walk through all of that today. Um, but thank you so much for listening. I appreciate it so much, and welcome to the Revolution. Welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Red Pill Revolution started out with me, realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpreted about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoon fed as a child. Religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it. Everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. Now I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome. To the revolution. All right, let's go ahead and jump into it. But one thing I forgot is go ahead and hit that subscribe button.

Um, let's go ahead and jump into it. So today's episode is gonna be on Matt Walsh's, uh, documentary, which is called What Is a Woman, which is truly the greatest. Title of any documentary ever because within that single title, you can basically corner any single person, um, and, and see them scrounge and start just sweating unbelievably at trying to answer that question. You know, the whole documentary about Matt Walsh. So what he did is he went around the world literally, and I, I love some of Matt Walsh's dry humor. If you don't know him, I believe he's under the Daily Wire banner. And I believe that's where this documentary was released on. But um, so you have to be a subscribing member and it's worth it, you know, if you're going to be complaining about the wokeness of Netflix and Disney and all of the social platforms and big tech companies, you gotta support the good ones, right? You gotta show that with your money. So go ahead. Sign up for Daily Wire. They have documentaries like this. They have TV shows and movies and all this, all this awesome stuff. So, um, definitely, definitely recommend that. So Matt Walsh basically flies all over the country dealing with teachers, um, far or psychologists, psychiatrists, uh, gender studies, teachers or, uh, you know, professors. Um, and then all the way to Africa just to prove a sarcastic point,  about this, which I thought was hilarious. He basically flies to Africa, gets him with this tribe that's there and starts asking them questions like, what do you think about somebody who, uh, maybe is born a man but wants to be a woman and just kind of gets, uh, you know, a bunch of weird looks from these tribe members. Um, but it, it is, it, it proves its. This is just so wild that American culture has gotten to this point that we're actually even having this conversation right now is wild. Uh, so go watch the documentary. We're gonna have a couple clips on here. I only poll just what I thought was the most impactful clips to be able to discuss about this. Other than that, we're gonna look at that Joe Rogan Toulie Gaer conversation because there's a few really impactful clips from there as well. Some really crazy stuff. Um, so let's start there. Let's watch this Joe Rogan clip where him and Tossi Gabbard just begin the conversation surrounding this. What is a woman documentary? And here we go. There's a chess game and the the ultimate check made is what's a woman? Yeah. I mean, when you're coming to, with, with wokeness and any, you can identify as a woman, you get to use the female restroom. Like, okay, but what is it? Yeah. What's a woman, you know? Can a man get pregnant? Yes. Okay, well what is it? Can a biological male get pregnant? And then people panic and they start the, the people that identify as a woman, uh, are capable of being pregnant and people that identify as a male are capable of also being pregnant. Like what are he saying? Yeah. What's, say if you identify as a woman, what are you identifying as like, that's the documentary, the Matt Walsh documentary. Exactly. Which is fucking amazing and also amazing that no one's reviewing it. Mm-hmm. , no one, no one's reviewing it. Yep. That documentary is fantastic because Matt Walsh allow, and you can only get it on the Daily Wire, I think, which is unfortunate, but I get it. You know, I get it. The Daily Wire produced it. They want people to sign up and they're creating this alternative platform for content. But that documentary is so good. And like I said, what I think is really important about it too is that basically, He just backs every one of these people into a corner with just that one silly, little really simple conversation. And at the very end of the documentary, he gets an answer from his wife, which is just like the perfect, you know, most readily available answer that any sensible person would come through, come to when asked that question. But just to see all of these people sweat, he goes to women's marches to have these conversations, right? It's like so crazy to see women who are literally there fighting for their own rights, try and justify the transgender woke ideology that is going on here when it, there is no such thing as women's rights when you know, I opposed to this on truth.  yesterday. Just a quick little thing about this, which is like there is literally no transgender rights or there is there, I'm sorry. There is no women's rights. If there is, you know, if, if gender is a construct, if being a woman is, is basically brought down to this idea of wearing certain clothes and having your hair a certain way and your nails painted, and the feeling on the inside is all it takes to be a woman, then there's no differentiating factor that allows for equality because, and, and that's the biggest thing with what's going on here too, is that this is like literally an attack on womanhood, right? It's like there's no women coming into men's sports and just beating everybody down or like literally just, you know, tearing up every record ever in college sports, you know, like there is going on with men encroaching upon women's rights. You don't see men getting raped in the men's bathroom by women who are. Believe they're a man. It's not happening. Where this is being, where this attack is going is towards the women of our culture. And that's why you see these women at a women's march, right? A women's equality march where Matt Walsh there is sitting there asking this question. You're sitting here marching for women's rights. Now explain to me just so that we can, and you would think that women would just like rally around this. This is crazy. You don't get to come into my dressing room. You don't get to smash me at my swimming meat meant for women. You don't have a vagina, you don't have a uterus. You cannot bear children, right? You, you, you have higher bone density, you have higher amounts of muscle structure. You know, you have testosterone flowing through your body no matter how many drugs you take. It, it's so unfair to women, right? It's, it's so unfair to women, right? Men are not the ones that this attack is being taken onto and being taken out on. It's all on women. And you see these calls from like the, uh, These women's marches, these, uh, you know, the, what is even the word that I'm looking for? These, um, all of these women's marches where, where people are not even talking about this. They're, in fact, they're defending it, which is crazy. How do you even defend this? How do you defend that when you're sitting there marching for equality? Equality is not getting knocked out by a man, Right? And if, if, and here's the bigger question, right? We get into like the bathroom situation, and we'll see this with the, the furry kid where Joe Rogan talks about this in a second. Um, but there, there's really a couple situations where this really gets weird, right? The, there's situations where it gets weird is, you know, things like sports and things like bathrooms, right? And it's like, it seems like a, a, a, when you watch the documentary, it like really pisses people off when he brings up these things. But it's the most important. Display of what's going on here and the encroachment on women's rights, it's happening in bathrooms, it's happening in dressing rooms and high schools where there's literally in that Louden County situation where two independent girls were sexually assaulted by a transgender woman, um, in separate cases, and the school literally covered for them. And then the mom even came out and said, Oh, well, she should have been able to defend herself better against him. Like, it's so wild. So, so the two situations where you're actually getting this encroachment, the first one being bathrooms. Okay, let's break it down. Why is there separate bathrooms? Why, why do we need separate bathrooms? If, if, if gender is a construct, we don't need separate rooms to walk into to go to the bathroom, right? Why don't we have urinals in the women's bathrooms? Right. And the reason is women need privacy. Women don't need men. Cuz there are some very creepy, aggressive, disgusting, perverted men out there, unfortunately. Right. I wish we could rid them overnight, but unfortunately those are being normalized too. But there is men who are like that, unfortunately. And time will tell you that, go all the way back, every era ever, there's been sexual assault, rape, whatever that has, you know, whatever you want to call it has gone on. And that is a place where it will become very, and has become very prevalent. . So they deserve privacy. They deserve separate changing rooms. They deserve separate locker rooms. They deserve separate bathrooms. And if it wasn't the case, why is there a differentiation in the type of utilities that are even available in the bathrooms compared to from a women's bathroom to a men's bathroom? There's no uals. Urinals. You wanna know why? Because women don't have penises to pull out of their pants and to pee into a urinal. If a woman sat on a urinal, that would be very bizarre and disgusting . And so they are physically incapable of using a urinal properly. And if you can that that's a very impressive skill you have there. So the plumbing is different, right? It's different. That's the reason that we have differentiation differentiations in bathrooms. Why not just make every bathroom a unisex bathroom? Well, because there's creepy men out there and women don't deserve that encroachment on their privacy. That is why. Okay, now when you muddy the waters and you have a six foot five guy coming in with a wig on his head, pulling his penis out in front of a young child, female, that's disgusting. That's gross. It shouldn't happen. And if that was your child, you wouldn't want it either. It's terrible or your wife in there. It's, it's just, it's not how it's meant to be. Okay. So why not have unex bathrooms? There's your answer. There's a differentiation in both the utility of the bathroom and the differentiation in how the privacy should be handled in those situations, and men will take advantage of it. Humans are imperfect. Humans are, you know, not gen like there's, there is bad in certain humans that will have them taking advantage of this. And unless you have a bouncer at each door checking the plumbing of each person that walks in, it doesn't work. There will be, and the only people that will take advantage of that are the ones who shouldn't be. The ones who want to take advantage of it for perverted reasons. And there has been many, many, many cases where this is happening. It's not like I'm just making this up, right? There is absolutely perverted people out there. Go look at the, you know, the hundred, however many thousand cases of people who installed cameras in bathrooms and got arrested for it. There's disgusting people out there and women should be safeguarded from that. And the easy way to do it is put a damn dress on the door and say, if you have a penis, you don't come in here. Let the women have their privacy. Cuz if that was your child in there, that was your wife in there, you would want that too. There's the first one. Okay. Bathrooms solved. We need a differentiation. Okay? The second one is sports. Okay? Now if, again, let's go back to the same argument. If gender is a construct, if gender is just an idea that you have in your head, why not have all sports teams be unex? Why? Why not just have all sports teams be unisex? Why did they even become, come up with a Women's league to begin with? Well, if you look at the 70th place, Olympic Runners, they still smash the records of every woman in the top three at the Olympics. You wanna know why biology? That's why biology is, why there is a reason, a physical reason, the testosterone flowing through your body, the muscle mass, the bone density, all that's involved in that causes men to be, generally speaking, more athletic. Now, there's some women who will beat your ass in the UFC right now, I promise you. , there's some, there's a lot of women out there who will outrun me. I don't run, and even if I did, they'd still be faster than. , but when you get into the highest levels of athleticism, the bodies are generally made up differently in almost every sport. There's a really, really good, um, quote by Serena Williams. Um, I think it was Serena or Venus, pretty sure it was Serena, where she was on a talk show and she talks about playing tennis against like, I don't know who it was, it was like Roger Feder. If he's a tennis player, I'm pretty sure he is . I'm not a huge proponent of tennis. Um, but it basically, she said, you know, it wouldn't even be fair, like if I go play against the number one, you know, the the 14 year old male, I'm gonna get beaten. Right? And it's like, you see that, I don't know if that was the actual quote, but you see that where the women's Olympic soccer teams go play the U 14 men's limp or you know, USA teams, the U 14, the under 14 year olds beat the women's soccer leagues. And that's nothing against women. That's just a biological fact. Now, that's not to say. Again, there's some women who will beat your ass that are in the UFC right now, guarantee it. Probably all of them unless you train. So that's nothing against women, that's just a biological fact. If you decided tomorrow that we're gonna have unisex sports leagues, no sports leagues are gonna be based on sex, because sex is a construct, is just in your brain, no reason to differentiate based on a thought in your head. Why not just have it all be the same thing? Right? There's no W N B A, there's just the ba , I guess that's the nba. There's just the nba, right? No women's leagues. There's no Olympic, you know, differentiations among sex or gender. You know, what would happen is it would all be dominated by men. There would just be only men on the teams, just like there is today. If there was a woman who could play in the nhl, who could be, you know, and there's been like a, a, a goalie, um, that I think it was a backup for at one point or at a pretty high level. Um, but. If it was a thing, they would go, they wouldn't be making $85,000 a year playing in the N W N B A or a hundred, whatever they make. They'd be making a million, 5 million, a hundred million, whatever playing in the leagues that they get paid to do so against the highest level of athletes. It's just a fact. If you made everything unisex, it would be dominated by men in sports. And that is the reason. There's your reason. Let's continue this clip. There's a chess game and the the ultimate check made is you can only get it on the daily wire, I think, which is unfolds. Yeah. And he doesn't And he does it dead pan. Yeah. And it's amazing watching these people just. Twist reality into some weird fucking contortion. It's not, It's like, what are you saying? What, what is a woman? What does it mean? Yeah. It's so revealing. You know, you, you're marching for women's rights, but what does that mean? So if I decide I'm a woman and I go out, you're marching for me. Mm-hmm. , I'm a woman now. Right. So you could just say it. Yeah. Like, we can't have that, That doesn't make sense. And it doesn't mean you can't have trans people. Mm-hmm. . It doesn't mean that. Yeah. You can Most certainly. And it doesn't mean you're against Yes. Anyone. You're not denying anyone's existence either. They, they exist. However, if you want to be pregnant, you must be a biological female. This is science. Mm-hmm. . This is something that we have all studied and looked at and observed. And this is fucking doctrine. Yeah. It's no getting around it. Yeah. If you wanna breed, if you want the egg in the womb, you want the whole thing to happen. The uterus, the baby. Yep. That's a woman. Just cuz you have a fucking beard cuz you're taking testosterone, You're still a woman. Yeah. Like this is crazy. And that, and that's what was so powerful about that documentary was both Matt Walsh's demeanor and frankly his respect with whoever he was questioning. And the spectrum of people that he spoke to on this. Yes. From, you know, psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, professors, and even, uh, the woman who transitioned hormonally cause terrible regret. Become a man who has like, crying on camera. That's the, that's the problem in this country when, you know, everyone wants to talk about representation. Here's what's not represented at all in the mainstream media. People that have had a horrible experience having gender transition surgery and regret it deeply. Yeah. There's a lot of them. Mm-hmm. . It's not a small amount, it's a lot of people. Yeah. It's, it's not, A cut and dry thing. Look, if there was a way where we had some sort of genetic engineering where, you know, some super advanced form of CRISPR where uh, I could just decide I want to be a woman now, and then bam, now I have a double X chromosome, I have a vagina, I'm a actual woman. Mm-hmm.  like 100% not surgery. And here's the other thing. It's like if you're saying that you identify as a woman, that you're a woman, okay, why do you have to get an operation then? Right? What, Why do you have to take hormones? Right? Like, why do you have to do all that stuff? And that stuff seems to be where all the problem lies, because that is purely experimental. Yeah. Especially when it comes to children. Like we're now finding, when they're talking about hormone blockers, they were saying hormone blockers are reversible and there's no side effects. That's not true at all. They're finding horrific side effects for kids to take those things. Right. And we don't have a lot of long term data. We just. And that was one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of in this documentary was this woman who's sitting in front of him saying that, you know, when we go ahead and we do these types of hormone blockers, it's basically just like putting, you know, putting the song on pause. And when you go ahead and wanna start that puberty again, whether you're 20 or 30 or 50, we just press play on the song. And eventually you just go through puberty. Just normally. No, that's not how that works. That's not the science behind it, That's not the scientific studies behind it. That is not how it works at all. And they talk about a couple things here that I really wanted to touch on from this documentary, which is the horrific case of this woman. Who went through transition, went through bottom surgery, went through all of this to transition into being, to try to look like a man, um, to reaffirm their identity and just horribly regrets it. And you hear about all the things in terrible things that they go through. And, and maybe we'll just jump into that here, but it's like, it's heartbreaking. I've never seen this story touched on this, and he said that too, this like, they're so far mis unrepresented and, and we're going to see the effects of this, these gender affirming surgeries and hormone blockers and chemical castrations. We're going to see the effects of this on our children. This experimentation, just like they experimented on the general public with. mRNA, you know, um, vaccinations, uh, gene therapies that they did on everybody. Um, just like we're gonna see the effects of that. We already are in some ways on people with very high levels of, of myocarditis, but we're going to see the effects of that. We're gonna see it in the effects of, in five, 10 years from now, we're really gonna see it ramp up and even worse than 20, 30 years from now. But by then, you're gonna be so far gas lit by the government that you won't even remember the pandemic. Right. But whatever that's not gonna happen is when you transitioned a seven year old child who liked to play with cars, and you gave them chemical chemicals to turn them into a man by giving them testosterone Oh. And then took skin off of their arm and turned their, or internal parts into a like visual aesthetic seeming. Genital like it, it's horrific. We're gonna see the effects on mental health. We're gonna see the effects on physical health. We're gonna see the rejections of these chemicals. Like women have superpowers in their body. It's the only thing that's connected to the earth in the way that it's cyclical, right? They have these cycles. That is a period that can literally, if you, I've said this before, if you lock a woman in a room without a window, she will be able to generally tell you how long for a month  because of her cycle. And that's just how they're so far in tuned with the universe and the world that their body is literally on a timer. Right. They need these things to happen. This the cycle that their body is supposed to go through. And then again, when you interject these things into that and you take away that cycle from happening, what are the implications of that? And we don't know. And they're trying to act like they do because each one of these surgeries is worth unbelievable amounts of money every time they go through this and, and decide that a child needs these things. It's an unbelievable amount of money for the healthcare systems. And we'll talk about that too. But this horror story, this horror story of, of this woman trying to become a man is just one of the most heartbreaking things. And I, and I have compassion for people, like a real severe amount of compassion for people who have this gender dysphoria. I can't imagine, like I've dealt with mental health issues before. I've dealt with anxiety, I've dealt with depression. I can't imagine being so far dissociated from my body that I don't even believe that I'm a man anymore.  like that must just be, it must really hurt. You must be so hurt on the inside to feel that way. And I truly, honestly have a lot of empathy for somebody who's going through that level of, uh, existential internal mental health issues. That's terrible. It's horrible and, and I, I hope you figure that out. But I don't think this is the route. I don't think it's by chemically castrating you. I don't think it's by taking skin from your forearm and, and aesthetically making it seem like you have a penis. I don't think it's by, you know, stifling your puberty at 12 years old. I, that is only going to further the mental health issues and further arise physical issues down the road. Physical health issue. That's all that's gonna come of this is your fir. Like nobody comes to a, a psychiatrist with schizophrenia that believes they're being chased by purple monsters. And then the, the, the whole world has to pretend like this purple monster is actually following them so they don't feel crazy. That's, that's literally what we're doing here. We're reaffirming a mental health issue. We're reaffirming gender dysphoria and, and making them feel like what they're going through. You know, we're just curating the world in a padded way so they can experience this and not only just experience it because the amount of people, like, there's this article that came up that says Montgomery School, Sorry. 582% increase in reported gender nonconforming students over two years. Data shows, and this is coming from common ground studios, this says that Maryland's largest public school district saw a 582% increase in the number of students identifying as gender nonconforming. In two years. During the 2019 to 2022 school year, a total of 35 students reported gender nonconformity to a counselor, including four elementary students, 19 middle school students, and 12 high school. So as you see their data wise, it's affecting that middle of school aged the most, which is when you're going through puberty, of course, you're like, What the fuck is happening to my body? , Why am I experiencing these things? I don't wanna have a period, I don't want to have a random erection in the middle of school. Like, it's not, not, It's like, yeah, everybody went through puberty too. And it's like, it's weird and your body's trying to get used to these things and it's uncomfortable at moments and like you're trying to figure out who you are in the world and like orient yourself in a positive direction and you're trying to seem, you know, feel. Like, a lot of this is about feeling, uh, noticed by the world, right? When you're 12, 13, 14 years old, you know, some people would wear wild outfits to school, right? Because they wanna be seen, they wanna feel, they want their existence validated. And how that's happening today is in these wild, weird ways, right? Like, if you can become a protected class of citizens, especially if you're like a straight male, straight white male , like you have no physical protections from, from everybody calling you, you know, whatever name ever, And being racist and sexist and, and bigoted towards you, you know, if you could just go like, Eh, I'm feeling like a woman. That gives you that sense of like protected classness, right? That like superpower of nope, now nobody can say anything negative about me ever. Or else they'll get banned and sent to the principal and put in jail literally in Canada for not using the correct pronouns. It's so crazy. And that all over middle schoolers who want to feel noticed by the world and some who go on to high school that want the same things. And you see that in this like next clip in Joe Rogan's conversation with Tosi Gabbard here, where you get to these like where does this end? Cuz we're just beginning in this process of, of dis I identifying ourselves is, is having, you know, personalities and gender and so let's see where this goes. When you get to the craziest parts of being trans, this is where we get. Like we know children are incredibly malleable. We know children are impulsive. They, they decide like there's kids ready for this. My friend, his wife is a school teacher and she works at a school that had to install a litter box in the girls' room because there is a girl who's a furry Oh, who identifies as an animal and her mother badged the school until they agreed to put a litter box in one of the stalls. Yeah. So this girl goes into the litter room or to the, the girl's room and urinates or whatever. I don't know if she poops in it. That's pretty gross. . You know what I mean? Like if you could teach your cat, By the way, here's the thing. If you could teach your, To use the toilet. You would? Mm-hmm. . Okay. Yeah. Like you don't want a box of piss in your house. It's the worst. I've had cats my whole life. . It's the worst thing about having cats. You gotta clean that box of piss every day. Yeah. Like it's the greatest thing about dogs, they go outside like, is you, You're a fucking heal. The cats got their humans trained Imagine how crazy that is. You're a fucking human being and you prefer a litter box. You want to piss into a pile of sand rather than use a bathroom. Yeah. That you could flush the toilet. Wipe yourself like a normal person. Like you're so crazy with what you think an animal is that not all of you said this, but you've conned the school Yeah. Into putting this fucking litter box. That's so wild, and that's where the shit is going, right? The whole idea behind this is just ridding the world of their identity, right? Is getting rid of who you are and making you a number. You don't have a gender, you don't have a, a sexual orientation. None of it's real. Everything's fluid. Everything's non-binary. You have no identity and therefore you belong to the government. Therefore, you, you have no sense of self and all you are is a human and your cattle with a number on you. It's, And so that's where it gets, that's where you go. And even Matt Walsh in the documentary had a, uh, somebody who identified as like a wear wolf. And you see the how, like, again, just how deep of mental health issues these people are dealing with is this wear wolf self crazy weird man. Woman wear Wolf basically said that, Oh, I watched a Japanese, I watched a Japanese cartoon in high school, and I just thought, Man, that's really me. I'm an, I'm a animated wear wolf with blue hair. Like, Ugh, man. Just something about that really resonates with me and now I'm gonna be that for the rest of my life. And so it, it gets it. There's no ending this. Right. That's the difficulty with progressivism is that when do you just go, I think we're good. I don't think we need to have children. Poop and litter boxes in our schools. I don't know if that's a necessary thing for us. Maybe we'll pass on that one. May, maybe we can stick with some core general values for our families, you know, in our children. Maybe that's a good, a good start. Okay. Now, and when we get to this, like Tosi Gabbard talks about this and, and where she's, she's actually wrong in this in some way, but I'll explain what she means and I'll explain where it's coming from. Um, but there's another clip where Tulsi Gabbard brings this up and talks about a health and human services document that outlines according to her, the fact that, um, if you do not affirm your child's gender identity through these chemical castrations and surgeries, then you can be called on by cps. So I haven't found that document. The document that I found that was called what she said this document was called, actually talked about something different. But let's watch this clip. Let's listen to it. Um, just wanted to frame that for you a little bit before you get all up in arms. Um, and there's a actually some. Percent of realness to this and, but it's just not here. So let, let's watch this and then we'll talk about this too. The worst thing that, I don't know how well known this is, but I saw a brochure that, um, that, uh, the Department of of Health and Human Services put out on what is gender affirming care. Um, it basically says that if parents refuse or fail to provide this gender affirming care, then Child Protective Services will have the authority to step in and try to intervene for the sake of the child. Wow. And so when you look at, Wow, what, So if a kid is just going through a period in their life where they decide, I'm a girl or I'm a boy, right? And the parents say, Hey, let's wait until you turn 18. You might grow out of this. And the kid's like, Fuck that. I'm calling Child Protective Services. Yeah. And then Homeland Security or whoever the hell it is, comes in and physically forces the parents. to do the bidding of the minor child with the threat of taking your child away from you. How did anybody allow it to get this far? Like who are there no adults in the room. I mean, that's a big expression, right? It is. That was the thing that they, everyone said that we were gonna allow. So here's the reality. Tulsa GA is wrong there, but the reality of it is basically worse. So I pulled up this document here and I'm gonna pull it up and I'm gonna walk you guys through it. It's through the Health and Human Services document. It's titled HHS Noticing Guidance on Gender Reaffirming Care, Civil Rights, and Patient Privacy. This is what I believe she's referencing. There might be a document that I just couldn't find on this, um, but I believe this is the document that she's referencing, and in my opinion, it's even worse. What the document's actually doing. And I'll, I'll read it to you here and then we'll, we'll kind of, I'll, I'll give you a summary, but it says that the department, um, the Department of Health and Human Services stands with transgender and gender nonconforming youth and their families in a significant majority of expert medical associations in unequivocally stating that gender affirming care for minors when medically appropriate and necessary, improves their physical and mental health attempts to restrict, challenge or falsely characterize this potential life saving care as abuse is dangerous attempts, uh, such attempts block parents from making critical healthcare decisions for their children, create a chilling effect on healthcare providers who are necessary to provide care for these youth, and ultimately, negatively impact the health and wellbeing of transgender and gender nonconforming youth. The HHS Office for Civil Rights will continue working to ensure this transgender and gender nonconforming youth are able to access healthcare free from the burden of discrimination. HHS understands that the families and healthcare providers are facing fear and concerns about attempting to portray gender affirming care's abuse. And this was following a Texas legislation move to make it so it was abuse when they were doing these types of surgeries and chemical castrations on children. So this was basically in response to that Texas, uh, legislation. Um, but it goes on to say, to help these families and providers navigate these concerns, uh, we are providing additional information on federal civil right protections and federal health privacy laws that apply to gender affirming care. All right, so the next page goes on to explain what they're doing with this. And it says that it enforces and prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity. Receiving federal financial assistance sex section 1557 protects the right of individuals to access the healthcare programs and activities of recipients of federal financial assistance without facing discrimination on the basis of sex, which includes discrimination on the basis of gender identity. How does sex and gendered identity, if, if you believe in gender, I gender identity, that means you don't believe in biological sex. So how can that mean that it literally means the exact opposite ? If anything, the, the identification or the acceptance of gender identity completely negates the idea of sex. So no physically and legally that that should not hold up. In, in court it says that categorically refusing to provide treatment to an individual based on their gender identity is prohibited. Discrimination. Similarly, federally funded covered entities restricting an individual's ability to receive medically necessary care, including gender affirming care from their healthcare providers solely on the basis of their sex assign at birth or gender identity likely violates 1557. I like how they say likely, but it doesn't because sex and gender identity are antons. Gender identity means that sex does not. Biologically exist. It means that you do not I. That's why when you ask somebody what is a woman, they won't tell you because they don't want to, They don't want to make sex a real thing. They want gender identity to be a real thing. How do you feel today? Do you feel like if you look down your pants that you got a vagina? No. Okay, then you're a man no matter what's actually down there when you look. No. Cuz there's a reality. And that's one thing that these people said in this documentary is like, Well, whose reality is it? Their reality? No. You know whose truth is it? Your truth or their truth? How about the truth of when I dig up your body 500 years from now, I can run a test and see if you're a man or a woman? Hmm. And every time he asks that question, what is a woman? Every single one of these people responded with a, A woman is somebody who identifies as a woman. A woman is somebody who believes they're a woman. A woman is somebody who believes that in their heart and their soul, that they are a woman. And then he finally asked this like gender sex professor or whatever specialist, he asked him, Can you define what a woman is without using the word woman in it, your definition? And the guy just looks completely dumbfounded, like has no answer for that. Like he spent a hundred thousand dollars, It gets paid $90,000 a year to teach the subject and cannot define a woman or what a woman is without physically using the word woman. And when you get to the end of the documentary, you see Matt Walsh's wife perfectly explain it. A woman, A woman is a adult human, female, adult, human female. Not that hard. Very, very simple. It's the most direct way that you can describe that ever. It's not that hard to answer these questions, but instead you see these people just sweating over the mental gymnastics of trying to figure out how to answer that question. So what this document is saying by Health and Human Services is basically if a doctor refuses to do gender referring care, they are no longer going to be eligible for federal grants, subsidies and income. And even further, they can be potentially liable. It says here HIPAA and, and, and shows them how to shell themselves from letting the state know, in this case Texas know that this child's receiving this care under HIPAA laws. So they're trying to like cover for this. So I'll, I'll look one more time and see if we can find anything at all that's remote to her conversation on this having to do with parents in child protective services. But from what I found with the name of the document that she gave, , there's no such doc. I, I just didn't see the document that she's referring to. Um, so let's try it. We'll go ahead and look up gender affirming hhs, cps, Child Protective Services, Trans Gender. Okay, let's see if we can find that. Texas Governor calls on citizens to report parents statement by HHS Secretary Javier Pira reaffirming their statement and support for q i. Youth, uh, HHS is releasing guidance to state child welfare welfare agencies through the information memorandum. That makes it clear that states should use their child welfare systems to advance. HHS is also receiving guidance PDF on patient privacy clarifying. Despite the Texas government's threats, healthcare providers are not required to disclose patient private information on gender affirming care. HHS also issued a guidance making clear that denials of healthcare based on gender identity are illegal as it is restricting doctors and healthcare providers from providing care because of the patient's gender identity. The secretary also called on the HHS to explore all options to protect kids, their parents, caretakers, and families. And it will also ensure that families and healthcare providers in Texas are aware of all the resources available to them. So let's look at this one other document, which is the, uh, making clear that denials of healthcare based on gender identity are illegal. That's the document that we just got into. So basically it's threatening all doctors that if they do not do these surgeries, if they do not fall in line with these liberal woke ideology, that a seven year old, a six year old, a five year old, a three yearold that likes to play with cars, should go through chemical and surgical transition of what their sex is potentially leading to life altering horrific outcomes, as we will see here in just a minute. And that's what's so frustrating about this, is this is and where nobody, nobody had a problem with this. Like, if you want to, if you wanna pretend you're a bird and jump off of a, the Empire State Building and flap your wings and see if you can fly, I don't care. Do what you wanna do. But the second thing, you wanna push this ideology onto my child. In schools. The second that you wanna make these, the number one book that you're putting out in, in Barnes and Nobles, you know, trying to push these ideologies onto my children, that's when we're gonna have a problem. You can, you can jump off the Empire State Building and pretend you're a bird. I don't care. You're not gonna fly. I'll tell you that. Just like if you're a, you're a woman or you're a man who wants to become a woman, you're not gonna get pregnant. I promise you that. Doesn't work that way. Does not work that way. So that's the biggest problem, is they're not just going after, you know, trying, They're not pushing for equality. Right. And that's what you saw with a 500% increase in children that are identifying in some way as like trans or gender fluid, whatever, you know, That means what we're seeing is that this, this becomes a new, like a new social. Coolness, a new protected class for these middle schoolers and high schoolers and elementary school kids. And you're, they're pushing this ideology in a way, in a way that they make it seem cool. They make it seem like that's what you should wanna do in that, Oh, you're, you're now the cool kid in school if you wear blue hair and pretend that you're a boy. And that's not the case. And that's what's causing, you know, mental illness is now being expressed in a way, in what is now normal. Right. There's a reason there. It's not that there is 100% not that there was all these transgender kids who were just, you know, pushing their real identity down in, in beneath the surface. No, it's because this is literally a topic in every conversation everywhere right now about being trans. They're literally doing lap dances on six year olds and, and all the other gross things that you see going on in, in these, you know, uh, what are these, uh, you know, whatever you see on the streets and, and in these, you know, drag shows and all of that disgusting, you know, things, they're pushing on two children, these literal sex shows. It's, it's horrific. And, and nobody would've cared if you were looking for equality. You're not looking for equality anymore. You're looking to push your ideology onto our children and then through that force them to get medical and surgical things enforced upon them that make you profits. At the end of the day, I believe this is about profitability, and I believe this is about destabilization of the American identity and. That's what I believe. And in that Joe Rogan interview, something that he asked Tosi ga is like, Well, do you think that this is on purpose? Or do you think that this is, you know, kind of happenstance. Joe Rogan says that he believes that this is some sort of mental virus and that it's just, it's just happening. It's catching on like a fire, like wildfire going through the, you know, whatever. But no, I, I don't believe that. And he asked Tosey gapper, if you think that this is systematic and strategic, who do you think is doing this? You know, the same people that are, you know, when they talk about maps, the minor attracted people who is doing this, who is trying to normalize this. Why would they try to do that? They would never do that. There's nobody bad enough out there to do that. I don't know, maybe the elite pedophiles who were on Epstein's list that they still have yet to release. You know, all of the politicians, all of the elites in Hollywood that were literally child predators, maybe those are the ones that are trying to normalize these things. Maybe those are the ones who are trying to sexualize our children in elementary schools. Maybe those people with all the money and the wealth and the power that were flying out to islands, like they're, you know, with the, you know, worst person in the world to do the worst things in the world, to innocent children who literally cannot physically consent. Maybe those are the ones who are behind this. Maybe those are the ones pushing these ideologies through the academic societies, which is then being pedaled through Hollywood, right? All of these things are interconnected, all of it, Hollywood, academia, politics, all of it. And they're intertwined with the big money, right? And you see that, you know, um, what's going on with Disney? Disney pushing this ideology in, in the Baymax show where I talked about that, the transgender, you know, Oh, I use the, the, I like pads. If you remember that, that clip that I did, you know, the, the, the robot asking, where do I get, what type of tampon should I choose for this person and this man with a trans shirt on? And they, they mo or show meant for three to seven year olds because it's on the child's side of Disney, says that they like to use pads trying to disorient my child's view on identity from three to seven years old. There's the Hollywood aspect of it. Then you already see the academia aspect of it and all of the people pushing for these, the pushing out the grants that are funding the scientific studies and research that only get published if they are in line with it. They wanted to fund them for it to begin with. The same people that are funding the lobbyists, the same people that are flying private jets to Epstein's Island, those are the ones who are behind this. Absolutely 100%. Absolutely. This is a strategic attack on the next generation and our children to normalize pedophilia, to normalize gender dysphoria, to normalize the sexualization of our children because they're predators. That's who I think is doing this. Absolutely. 100%. So let's see how this plays out. Let's see how these people actually get affected, because this, to me, from that documentary was the most impactful three minutes or so, and hearing the story of one of these people that went through one of these horrific mental difficulties and decided to take the easy button that everybody was giving them of transitioning thinking it was what's at best in their, in their interest, when in reality it was what was just best for the pocketbook of the people doing the surgeries. So let's go ahead and take a look at this. When psychologists or somebody that I was in love with or whatever, said that I was in the wrong body, I started to think, Well, maybe I am. I'm a biological woman that medically transitioned to a peer like a male through synthetic hormones and surgery. I will never be a man. Is it transphobic for me to tell the truth? Why is it then a couple hundred years from now, if you dug up my body, they're gonna go, Yep. That was a woman had babies. Can you tell me about the procedures that you, you had? I've had seven surgeries. I've had one stress heart attack. I've had a helicopter life ride, uh, with a pulmonary embolism. I've had, uh, 17 rounds of antibiotics. I had six inches of hair on the inside of my urethra for 17 months. Nobody would help me, including the doctor that did this to me cuz I lost my insurance. I get infections every three to four months. I'm probably not gonna live very long. Was there any real discussion of the risks and the side effects and No. No, there's not. And I know that people want to think that there is, but there's not. The truth is, is that medical transition is experimental. We have, um, studies that said that medical transition helps mental health, helps mental health with kids. They've all been retracted, modified changed. But the only long term study tells us seven to 10 years is when transgender people are the most suicidal after, after surgery. But that's transphobic to say for the first time in history. A marginalized group has a huge dollar sign on the top of their head. We have. And you wanna know how much that dollar sign is, because this baffled me too. But first of all, you, like I said earlier, this is not, this is not an attack on the people who are experiencing this, truthfully, Right? Not the people who are jumping on this train, this trend so that they can be a protected class and and feel unique. This is talking about the people who were defined in the DSM five 20 years ago, or 15 years ago when it was designed, which is also crazy that the DSM five was only made in like, I don't know, what was it, like the seventies or the eighties or like the nineties . What? Let's look it up. When was the DSM five made? Cause I think it's so much earlier than. , the original one, um, that was made is so much earlier, Diagnostic and statistic manual on mental disorders. Um, 1952. This says, So literally for the only, like the last 70 years we've been even starting to try to understand mental illness. And I think we have a totally wrong in a lot of senses. Um, but gender dysphoria has been being treated for a very long time. And to understand that there are people who believe this and, and get so far into that dissociation from their body and their mental space, that they feel these things, and that's very real. And I, I can't imagine what that must feel like to, to physically not even want to be in the body that you were given. Um, I feel very much empathy for those people, and that must be a very difficult thing to struggle with. And to also now have society and culture literally looking to profit. On you based off of that difficulty and not help you. These things are not helping you. You getting literally skin ripped off of your arm and turned into an aesthetic looking genitalia between your legs and completely closing off the one that you had is not normal. It's not gonna help anything. It's not gonna, it's definitely not gonna help your mental space. Taking testosterone treatments is not gonna help your mental state. It's gonna literally wreak havoc on your body's normal, normal way of surviving, of, of how you were designed to deal with these things and, and, and make your mental struggles so much worse. And like he said, seven to 10 years after transition, medical transition is when you see the most rates of the highest rates of suicide, not before, after. And they go, Oh, well, they were just so difficult to deal with from the very beginning that they had this di No, it was drugs that you gave them. It was the difficulties, like she said, like, Oh my gosh, just horrible, horrible experience. And so here is the price tag on each one of these children's heads that they're going after for these things. Every child that they convince is, is transgender. And in need of medical transition, it generates 1.3 million to pharma. And we're believing a pharmaceutical company, Lupron hormone blockers reversible. So they say, Well, the truth is isn't that in 2003, Lupron was sued and deemed a criminal enterprise by the US government. They paid the most fine of any pharmaceutical company at that time, $874 million wrote a check. Is Lupron Chemical Castration? Yes. We're giving it to pedophiles, aren't we? We're giving it to people that are dying and we're giving it to kids, telling them that they were born in the wrong body and it's completely safe. One of the drugs used as Lupron, right? Mm-hmm.  has actually been used to chemically castrate sex offenders. You know what? I'm not sure that we should continue with this interview because it's, and that's the response that he gets when he, and he literally pulls up the medical definition of chemical castration, and it's just the, the elimination of, or, or, uh, of free, uh, androgen and testosterone in the body through chemical. It's not like they're pouring acid on your genitals. It's like, gosh, it's just, it's hurting everybody. And the only people that are profiting off of this are the hospitals that are doing these surgeries, are the psychiatrists who are disguising this advice. , as you know, help to your children. And really it's just about profitability and making them feel special. It's horrible. It's terrible. And the fact that our society is even getting to a point where we have to address this in this way is so ridiculous. And I think from my perspective where we're going with this, it's only escalating. And who knows in five years from now, maybe literally every bathroom is going to have a litter box in it. Because we kept going down this weird ass path of confirming people's in, in PAing, the world around people's mental disorders to where we allow them to believe that there are a kitty cat who should be in this high school bathroom using a litter box. It's so crazy. I, it's so crazy that I even have to have this conversation. Um, but I did just kind of wanna update you guys, not even update you guys. I wanted, I wanted to bring that up. I want, I want you to go watch that documentary. I, I truly think it's a, one of the most impactful documentaries put out in the last few years. Um, it's very well done. It, it's not, um, click be or, Anyway, I appreciate his dry sarcasm,  flying all the way to Africa just to prove a sarcastic point that these tribesmen would never be for this and how crazy our society has gotten. Um, but go watch documentary, Uh, go check it out. Um, highly, highly recommend it. And, you know, maybe go listen to that full interview with Joe Rogan and Tulsi GA was an interesting one. Um, but anyways, um, you know, Uh, this, this is where we're at and, and I think it's important to bring up these conversations. I think it's important to identify that this is mostly an attack on women and an attack on female, uh, you know, empowerment and equality and in infringement on privacy and all of the above, and, and taking advantage of people in very insecure states of mental illness. It's just all horrible. And I think that we need to have these difficult conversations and, and you know, if you go look at my reviews right now, you'll see that these conversations have landed me at, you know, a bad review or two in the past. Um, so you know, from people who claim to be transgender and all of that. And so we need to, we need to empower the next generation. We need to let them know this is not okay. We are not going to accept this. I am not going to accept this for my children, for your children, for our school systems, for our government to be passing legislation for these hospitals to be continuing these things. It's all gross, it's all disgusting and we cannot allow it to go any further. It's already gotten too far where it is, where you literally can have a cat box in a high school bathroom because some kid identifies as a kitty cat and it only gets worse. And this is just the beginning. As I've said before, we now is the time to do something about this. Now is the time to stand up. Don't be afraid of people speaking out and saying that you're, whatever. I, if transphobic means not being for the, the taking advantage of people in mentally and stable and mental health situations or, or being for sticking up for our children when they shouldn't have these sexual ideologies pushed onto them or not normalizing pedophilia against children, then that's fine. But if you wanna fight back against that, if you wanna speak up about it, do it. Talk to people, have these tough conversations and, and get your, get your word out there because the less we talk about it, the more that we shy away from these conversations in fear of, of whatever woke Twitter, mob, whatever coming after you. The, that, that's what they want and that's how they. It's just the silent majority staying quiet while the crazy ass people who want to profit off of your children's mental health issues continue to do so in the name of Wilm. So anyways, before we go, go ahead and leave a five star review. Like I said, I've gotten the, you know, some people who have got on my, on my thing there for having this very conversation and, uh, left me a one star review hurting. You know, the thing, the very thing that I worked very hard on for you guys here, putting a lot of time and effort and energy into this. So, if you could leave me a five star review, tell me what you liked about the podcast. Um, tell me your favorite part of the show, whatever it is. Tell me your favorite episode. I don't care. Tell me your favorite outfit I wore. I don't know how often I change it up, but, you know, tell me , whatever. But I hope you have a great week. Head over to Red Pill revolution.co if you would like to donate. I put a ton of time, effort, and energy into this. I'm literally up at 11 o'clock at night, 1115 right now doing this. Um, I'm about to go, you know, edit this, get the audio out there and up tomorrow for you.  5:00 AM so literally seven, six hours from now, whatever that math is. Um, so if you could donate anything, 10 bucks, five bucks, 20 bucks, a hundred bucks, whatever it is that you can do, truly, I appreciate it. It, it makes this just that much. You know, it, it makes me have some affirmation here that I'm doing the right thing, I'm on the right direction. Um, and obviously I'm putting a lot of time, effort, and energy into this when I have a career. I have children, I have family, I have a lot of things going on. Um, so it would be helpful. That's give send go.com/red Pill revolution. Um, and you can go to the website as well to sign up for the Subst stack, get the podcast companion. Um, but again, I appreciate you guys so much. Thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful week. I hope you don't, don't run across any kitty cats in the bathroom, you know, throwing, uh, , the cat litter at you. Um, but anyways, welcome to the Revolution. Thank you.  

By nature, sex is one of the most serious and delicate conversations a therapist can have with their patient. When they're possibly experiencing sex addiction, the challenge only increases. From its roots in intimacy disorder to the modern problem of near-unrestrained access to pornography, a sex addiction diagnosis can be a challenging conclusion for both patient and clinician to arrive at.Joined by Menninger Clinic behavioral addictions specialist Dalanna Burris, LPC, LCDC, SCAT, hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland dive into this episode of Mind Dive podcast to explore various facets of sex addiction. Listen to hear the complexities of sex addiction's ties to other issues such as religious shame and substance abuse. Also hear about how clinicians can best approach one of the most delicate subjects in psychology.“A key part of treating our patients is checking ourselves at the door and being able to separate from our morality or what we may believe is right or wrong,” said Burris. “When approaching the topic of sex, we must sit with someone without judgement because they'll be able to feel it in the treatment, regardless of what you say. If you're able to have this conversation and be open, it can be a great relief for your patient.”Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to never miss an episode of Mind Dive.Visit www.menningerclinic.org to learn more about The Menninger Clinic's research and leadership roles in mental health.Listen to Episode 15: Informatics and Patient Privacy with Dr. John Torous

Patient portals, consumer privacy and mental health apps, oh my! How has the continual progression of informatics affected psychiatric care and what can we expect in the future?Dive into this episode of Mind Dive Podcast with John Torous, MD, MBI, director of the digital psychiatry division in the Department of Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center—a Harvard Medical School affiliated teaching hospital. Hosts Dr. Bob Boland and Dr. Kerry Horrell lead this lively conversation on navigating mental health care in a modern age as a clinician and approaches to advising patients on the dos and don'ts of integrating technology in their treatment. “It's worth asking your patients if they're using any apps,” said Dr. Torous. “About half your patients will try a supplementary mental health app at some point. It's always good to open up an informed discussion about how their privacy is handled in these cases.” Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to never miss an episode of Mind Dive.Visit www.menningerclinic.org to learn more about The Menninger Clinic's research and leadership roles in mental health.Listen to Episode 14: The Measurement of Wisdom with Dr. Dilip Jeste

International hackers are increasingly turning their attention to hospitals and manufacturers of medical devices, attacks that not only cost them ransom money, but also jeopardise patient privacy and even surgical procedures. While technological breakthroughs in medicine has revolutionised the way patients are diagnosed and treated, the proliferation of medical devivces connected to hospital networks offer cyberattackers new opportunities to access healthcare organisations IT systems. While deeply concerning for patients and staff, the consequences of malware and ransomware attacks on hospitals can also be fatal. Justine Bone, a New Zealander based in the US, is at the forefront of medical cybersecurity. She's the CEO of a private company called MedSec based in Florida. It offers hospitals a way to manage the security of every medical device they own.

Post by:  Adam Turteltaub Isabella Porter is the director of compliance and privacy officer of District Medical Group and author of the chapter “Patient Privacy and Security:  Business Associates” in the Complete Healthcare Compliance Manual. In this podcast she shares the key consideration that covered entities – physicians, hospitals, health plans and others who fall under the requirements of HIPAA – must consider when working with their various business associates (BA) with whom they share personal health information (PHI). When considering a potential new business associate she recommends ensuring that the vendor understand that it meets the definition of a business associate. Quite often they do and already have on hand a business associate agreement. It's preferable to ask them to default to your own agreements, but if they do not – for practical reasons business associates with a large number of customers cannot accommodate each customer's agreement – see if they are willing to amend their own, if necessary. When assessing a BA, also take the time to determine if they are using subcontractors. If they do, they should be referenced in the BA agreement. Also, ask the vendor what kind of checks they are doing on their vendors and their own ongoing monitoring efforts One important thing to also check: where the data is housed. If the servers are outside of the US, there may be other laws to consider such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Listen in to learn about the requirements of ensuring the safety of your BA agreements, including ten elements that need to be included in each one.
