My friend Michael Soto (mid-40s, transitioned 20+ years ago, bridge builder including being invited by the Church to attend two Temple open houses, powerful story) joins us to share: Feeling he is a boy since his earliest memories Feeling hopeless Learning he is transgender—realized there was a path for him—for the first time had hope How much transitioning has helped him in all aspects of his life (emotionally, spiritually, career, etc) Powerful story of how his father accepted and supported him Powerful story of how his mother—caring for Micheal after top surgery—fully accepted him Advice to parents who have a child experiencing gender dysphoria I share some thoughts about: Seeing our transgender friends in the parable of the Good Samaritan Importance of proximity—get to know transgender people from them—not from load/fear-based voices How the comparison to being “car sick” helped me to understand gender dysphoria/need to transition Thank you, Michael, for being on the podcast. You are a good man—one of my heroes. Thanks for all you are doing in our world to improve the lives of LGBTQ. Thanks for your great heart, love for everyone, and your discipleship.

Who coined the term cis and why are some people calling it a slur? Amazing return guest Perry Zurn joins me to discuss what the concept of cis does, why it's helpful to look at its origins and etymology and where it might oversimplify the project of gender. Not one to be missed!  References:Perry Zurn's Cisgender: Disorienting a Category (Duke UP, 2026)Perry Zurn's How We Make Each Other: Trans Life at the Edge of the University (Duke UP, 2024)John HollisterRiva Lehrer's Golem GirlMarquis Bey's Cistem Failure: Essays on Blackness and Cisgender (Duke UP, 2022)Stephanie Clare's Nonbinary: A Feminist Autotheory (Cambridge UP, 2023)Jonathan Ned Katz's The Invention of Heterosexuality (1995)  Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:     What does cis mean?     Which term is older: cis or trans? When does the term cis emerge?     Which community coined the term cisgender and why?     What is Perry saying about simplified notions of cis and which example does he give?     How does Perry put disability and race in dialogue with cisness and transness?

What does it mean to be made in the image of God as an LGBTQ+ Christian? Rev. Dr. Hannah Ka is joined by Benicio Casillas, a transgender Christian and member of First United Methodist Church of San Diego, for a conversation about faith, identity, Ecclesiastes 3, and trusting God when life refuses to fit into neat categories. This is Episode 1 of our four-part Imago Dei 2.0 series celebrating the many ways the image of God is reflected in the diverse people of our church family. In this episode, Benicio shares his experience growing up Catholic, coming out as transgender, finding an LGBTQ-affirming church at First United Methodist Church of San Diego, and discovering what it means to embrace that he was created in God's image. Inspired by the Bible passage Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, the episode explores: Exploring faith through the lived experience of LGBTQ+ Christians What "made in the image of God" means for transgender and queer people Ecclesiastes 3 and learning to trust God amid uncertainty Why conformity is not the same as holiness How every person's authentic story reflects the image of God The spiritual and emotional impact of being told you don't belong The biblical theme of the image of God (Imago Dei) and what it means for all people This conversation is for you if you're: Looking for an affirming Christian perspective on LGBTQ+ faith Deconstructing or reconstructing your faith Curious about progressive Christianity Wrestling with questions about identity and belonging Interested in the Bible, theology, and inclusive churches Reflection Questions Where in your life have you been thinking in "either/or" categories? What might become possible if you imagined a wider spectrum of possibilities? Ecclesiastes names two extremes, like weeping and laughing, silence and speaking. Where do you find yourself somewhere in between those extremes today? Or perhaps a mixture of both? How has someone's story helped you see God, or the image of God, in a way you hadn't seen before? Continue the Conversation This episode accompanies our sermon series, Imago Dei 2.0, exploring the many ways God's image is reflected in the people of our church community. Whether you're an LGBTQ+ Christian, an ally, deconstructing your faith, or simply curious about inclusive Christianity, we'd love to continue the conversation: Convergence discussion group (Sundays at 12 PM) Join our Patreon community First United Methodist Church of San Diego is an LGBTQ-affirming, progressive Christian congregation committed to justice, inclusion, and spiritual growth.

Lieve Freundinnen (m/v/x), niet schrikken maar we hebben een MAN te gast in de nieuwste aflevering van DAMN, HONEY de podcast *gasp* Het gebeurt niet vaak, maar soms komt er eentje op je pad die Echt Wat Te Zeggen heeft. En tja, dan moet je! Dan ga je! Het is historicus en schrijver Alex Bakker, gespecialiseerd in transgendergeschiedenis. Zijn nieuwste boek heet Transgender pioniers en speelt zich af in het roerige Berlijn, in de jaren tussen de 1e en 2e Wereldoorlog aka het Interbellum. De levensreddende medische zorg voor trans mensen begon toen en daar. Alex deed voor zijn boek uitvoerig onderzoek naar een revolutionair seksuologisch instituut waar oprichter en arts Magnus Hirschfeld probeerde te begrijpen wat trans mensen nodig hebben. Twee van zijn cliënten waren Dora Richter (een trans vrouw van in de 30, opgegroeid op het platteland en diepgelovig katholiek) en Gerd Katter (een jonge trans man van 18 uit de stad, die in de leer was voor timmerman). Dankzij bewaard gebleven bronnen wist Alex hun levens (grotendeels) in kaart te brengen. We hameren altijd erg op historisch besef en als het gaat om transgendergeschiedenis weten we lang niet genoeg. Wat kunnen we leren van de verhalen van Dora en Gerd? Waarom is het zo belangrijk dit soort verhalen te kennen? En hoe staat de transgenderzorg er nu voor? Verder: Wat zien we daar bewegen daar op de bovenlip van ML? Is het een... snor?

Brad Lea joins the Try That in a Small Town podcast and absolutely unloads.

The lone teenager challenging Arizona's transgender sports ban is stepping back from the case. This comes as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to protect similar bans around the country. Plus, Scottsdale defends its water future.

R. Shep Melnick, the Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Professor of American Politics at Boston College, joins Paul E. Peterson to discuss the Supreme Court's recent ruling, which allows states to restrict athletes' participation in school and collegiate sports based on their biological sex.

In this bonus episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt and co-host Shannon Salmon-Haas dive headfirst into three major, headline-grabbing Supreme Court rulings that are reshaping the legal and political landscape of the United States. From intense debates on biological sex and fairness in sports to historical dives into English common law, Todd and Shannon bring both legal expertise and spirited debate to the table. Whether you lean left, lean right, or just want to know how the law impacts your daily life, this episode breaks down complex constitutional arguments into a conversation you won't want to miss. Key Topics Discussed: Transgender Athletes & Title IX: A look at the landmark case West Virginia v. B.P.J.. Todd and Shannon clash over the Balance of Due Process, Title IX regulations, and safety concerns versus inclusivity in biological female sports. The Fate of Birthright Citizenship: Tracing the law from King James I in 1603 to the 14th Amendment and the Dred Scott decision, the hosts break down Trump v. Barbara. Discover why the Supreme Court upheld that if you are born here, you are a citizen—and the real-world logistical nightmare that changing it would create. Money, Speech, and Campaign Finance: An analysis of National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission. The Supreme Court overturned a 2001 precedent to rule that political parties can now coordinate unlimited spending with candidates. Todd and Shannon square off on whether "money is speech" or if this decision puts American democracy up for sale to the highest bidder. Key Takeaways: The Constitution is a Living Debate: While Todd approaches the text from a strict originalist viewpoint, Shannon highlights how modern societal complexities challenge centuries-old frameworks. The Internet Changes the Legal Burden: A major reason the Supreme Court loosened campaign finance limits was the modern availability of online disclosure and transparency tools for voters. The Buck Stops at the Supreme Court: No matter how much tax money or legislative effort is poured into executive orders and state laws, the high court remains the final arbiter of what is constitutional.

This Day in Maine for Friday, July 10, 2026.

When Bobbie Simpson decided to run for her local school board in Gateway Unified School District, in the far northern county of Shasta, she knew it might be difficult to win as a transgender woman. More than half the voters in Shasta County are registered Republican. A conservative Christian church that promotes LGBTQ conversion therapy and “believes in the ever-increasing government of God,” according to its website, is very influential in local politics. But Bobbie ran anyway because she cares about schools. She pledged to bring the focus back to education and preserve the district's social emotional learning programs, which had benefited her own kids. And she won, with 57 percent of the vote, becoming the first transgender person known to be elected to a California school board. For the most part, she says she's found acceptance and respect on the board and in her community. Guests: Bobbie Simpson, school board member, Gateway Unified School District Thomas Peele, investigative reporter, EdSource Read more from EdSource: The journey of Bobbie Simpson: Transgender woman making strides on school board in deep red Shasta County Education Beat is a weekly podcast hosted by EdSource's Zaidee Stavely and produced by Coby McDonald.

The FDA is hiding the truth about this increasingly common method of abortion. They are keeping back 125,000 pages of documents related to the process. Why? Because they don't want the truth to be known. They do not want transparency. That ends now. Medicine shouldn't be political and this has become political. Planned Parenthood lies about the trauma associated with the Abortion Pill - Medical Abortion, leaving women to undergo this traumatic procedure alone, isolated, completely unaware of the devastation and horror that awaits them. The FDA has time and time again relaxed the rules around the abortion pill - what the science. How much damage has been done? We don't know because the FDA is censoring the truth.You can help bring the truth to light by signing our petition (linked below.)

Today, we talk about all the things you hear from radical Christians - anti-gay, and anti-trans hate and lies, Christian nationalism, hypocrisy. It can be maddening and infuriating. We ask if those are real thoughts and questions, real concerns, or are they just repeating what they have been programmed to say??We even have some fun ask if they are real people or are they just bots??   And, most importantly, we talk about how to respond, especially when they just so happen to be family members. Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

Jeff Fisher discusses a term marked by major rulings across executive power, voting, and civil rights, and what they signal about the Court's trajectory. --- The Supreme Court has wrapped up a consequential term, issuing decisions that could shape executive power, constitutional rights, and the balance between the branches of government for years to come. Rulings on birthright citizenship, independent federal agencies, voting rights, transgender athletes, and Fourth Amendment digital privacy all landed within weeks of one another, offering a rare, wide-angle view of where the Court is headed. In this episode, Professor Jeff Fisher joins Pam Karlan to unpack the term's biggest rulings. Fisher and Karlan co-direct the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, and are among the nation's leading experts on Supreme Court litigation and constitutional law, regularly briefing and arguing cases before the Court, giving them a close vantage point on its work.  The discussion traces how the Court is navigating open clashes with President Trump even as it advances long-standing goals of the conservative legal movement, and examines the Court's growing use of history and tradition as a tool of constitutional interpretation. Fisher and Karlan also discuss disagreements among the justices and consider how recent decisions may be emboldening the executive branch.

In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the Supreme Court's 6-to-3 ruling striking down Trump's birthright citizenship executive order, walking through Justice Thomas's sweeping dissent, Justice Kavanaugh's narrow path forward, and a full menu of options from new legislation to a Convention of States to what Bryan calls the Bukele Options. Bryan then turns to the bigger picture, laying out a blunt assessment of what a future Democrat presidency means for open borders, deportations, and the survival of the Republic, and why he says the time to make a plan is right now, not in two or ten years. Listener questions drive the rest of the episode, covering the Supreme Court's transgender sports ruling, the Communist Control Act of 1954, how conservatives can get into local races despite imperfect pasts, and whether young men can be the generation that turns the tide against Marxism in America.

A divided Supreme Court ended its term by delivering a series of blockbuster rulings on birthright citizenship, transgendered participation in sports, and campaign finance restrictions, reshaping the nation's legal and political landscape. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins to discuss the intense 14th Amendment debate surrounding birthright citizenship, the court's decision allowing states to ban transgender athletes from female sports, and how the court's unique ideological splits impact the administration's major policy wins and losses. Bream also discusses the political implications of the High Court's historic decisions. As the nation prepares to celebrate its landmark 250th birthday, Americans are descending on the National Mall in D.C. to reflect on the vast history and the values that shaped our democratic experiment. But if the Founding Fathers stepped into 2026, what would they actually think of the country they built? Jeffrey Rosen, CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, joins FOX's Lucas Tomlinson to discuss his book, Pursuit of Liberty, and how the clashing visions of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson ignited a timeless struggle for control.

The Supreme Court has issued one of its most significant rulings yet on transgender participation in school sports, and parents are left wondering how to explain it to their children. In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy unpack the decision and move beyond the headlines to explore what it means for identity, compassion, and truth. The Court ruled unanimously that state laws restricting participation in girls' sports based on biological sex do not violate Title IX, and by a 6–3 majority held that these laws also do not violate the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. The case arose after transgender student-athletes—including Becky Pepper-Jackson in West Virginia and Lindsay Hecox in Idaho—challenged state laws requiring athletes to compete according to their biological sex. Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued that states may preserve women's sports for biological females and determine eligibility based on biological sex, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in dissent, argued that excluding transgender women from women's sports still constitutes discrimination "on the basis of sex." Rather than focusing only on the legal questions, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore the deeper issue every family faces: How do we help our children develop a secure identity in Christ so they can engage difficult cultural conversations with both conviction and compassion? They discuss why security forms identity, why identity shapes belonging, and how parents can teach their children to hold firmly to biblical truth while treating every person with dignity, kindness, and genuine love.  

It's Wednesday, July 1st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 28 Christians Militant Muslims killed 28 Christians, including a pastor, in central Nigeria last week. A local resident told Morning Star News, “We heard them even mentioning the names of some of our Christian leaders and directing some of them to hunt them down in their homes.”  Clint Lyons with iReach Global spoke to CBN News about the terrible persecution of Christians in Nigeria.  Listen. LYONS: “This isn't just a tragedy, it's a pattern. These attacks are no longer isolated, they are becoming expected. We can almost pinpoint where they're going to happen. Right now, it's looking like the Nigerian government is just simply not responding to the plight of Christians in the area.” Denmark considers banning Islamic call to prayer In Europe, the government of Denmark is considering a ban on the Islamic call to prayer. Morten Bødskov is the country's immigration minister. He recently reopened an investigation into whether such a ban is constitutional.  The Islamic call to prayer, known as the Adhan, calls Muslims five times a day to prayer, often over loudspeakers.  Bødskov told a local news agency, “The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops. It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn't be in any doubt whether you've ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.” In Isaiah 45:20, 22, the Lord said, “They have no knowledge, who … pray to a god that cannot save. … Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the Earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” U.S. Supreme Court upholds ban of transgenders in sports Here in the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against transgenderism in sports yesterday. The ruling upheld laws in West Virginia and Idaho. These laws prohibit males, pretending to be females, from participating in female sports. Over the past six years, 27 states have enacted such laws.   The ruling stated, “The question before the Court is . . . may schools determine eligibility for women's and girls' sports based on biological sex? The answer is yes.” Report: Liberal Presbyterian Church USA lost 128 congregations The largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. continues its decline in membership. A new report from the Presbyterian Church USA found that the denomination lost 26,000 members and 128 congregations from 2024 to 2025. Membership has fallen by an annual average of 4.6 percent over the past 10 years. During that time, the denomination has also continued its theological drifting. The Presbyterian Church USA is known for supporting abortion and sexually perverted lifestyles.  Texas State Board of Education approved Bible on reading list Last week, the Texas State Board of Education approved a public-school reading list that includes the Bible.  Bible verses will become required reading as part of literature studies in 2030. These include readings about Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, the Parting of the Red Sea, and the Beatitudes.  Brandon Hall is a pastor and a member of the state education board. He said, “We're going to stop watering down American history. We're going to teach the truth. Our nation was founded as a Christian nation, and Texas is a Christian state.” Buying a home harder today than previous generation A new report from Pew Research found that buying a home has gotten harder for young adults in most American metro areas.  Eighty-nine percent of adults under 40 say home buying is harder for them than it was for their parents.  Between 2019 and 2024, the inflation-adjusted median home value rose 30 percent. Meanwhile, the inflation-adjusted median household income of young adults rose only nine percent.  Founding anniversary of Gideons who've distributed 2.5 billion Scriptures Today marks the 127th anniversary of the founding of The Gideons, a ministry dedicated to distributing Bibles. Two traveling Christian salesmen got the idea for the ministry after providentially meeting at a hotel. John Nicholson and Samuel Hill later founded the group on July 1, 1899 at a YMCA in Wisconsin.  The ministry encouraged Christian traveling businessmen by placing Bibles in hotel rooms. They placed their first Bible in 1908. Over a hundred years later, The Gideons surpassed 2.5 billion Scriptures distributed worldwide.     Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'” The Worldview needs to raise $123,500 by Friday, July 31st And finally, during the month of July, The Worldview newscast team is looking for financial partners to help fund the next fiscal year for a total of $123,500.

Josh opens the show by breaking down what's next in the birthright citizenship case following the Supreme Court's ruling. He explains what the decision actually means, where the legal battle goes from here, and why the fight over the Constitution's interpretation is far from over. Next, Josh discusses the continued shift on the transgender issue, arguing that common sense is finally beginning to prevail on what should be an overwhelming bipartisan issue. He examines the cultural and legal momentum behind the debate. Finally, Josh turns to immigration, highlighting a feisty hearing on Capitol Hill that underscored both the progress made in securing the border and the challenges that remain. He explains why stronger enforcement is still needed—particularly in blue cities—and what lawmakers should prioritize moving forward. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship is welcome news for many Minnesota families. The justices ruled in favor of the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, granting citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil.Also today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld laws in other states that bar transgender students from participating in school sports. Minnesota officials say the state likely won't have to change course on rules that allow trans students to join sports that don't match their sex at birth.Those stories and more in today's evening update from MPR News.

June is Pride Month — a time dedicated not just to parades and rainbow flags but to profound affirmation and resistance against discrimination. The skewed Christian view of pride involves a self-centered attitude, placing oneself above others. But the LGBTQ+ community is not declaring themselves above anyone else. Pride Month was born from a necessity to stand against oppression and claim a rightful place in society — not out of a desire to dominate, but a need to exist openly and safely! Let's set the record straight: It's about love, not arrogance. We talk about what Pride really is and how it's a powerful expression of love's triumph over shame. It's a celebration – not a sin!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show
