    Gender Ideologies - with Helen Pluckrose

    Helen Pluckrose is a political and cultural writer and commentator, addressing current affairs from a liberal humanist perspective. Her particular focus is current Critical Social Justice (woke) scholarship and activism. Helen took part in the Grievance Studies Affair (along with Peter Bogossian and James Lindsay) which submitted shoddy, ridiculous and ideologically biased papers to academic journals known for publishing Critical Social Justice scholarship. In 2020, she co-authored Cynical Theories with James Lindsay, which traced the evolution of postmodern thought into Critical Social Justice scholarship. In that same year, she co-founded Counterweight, an organization for helping individuals push back at authoritarian Critical Social Justice policies and training programs at their place of work, university or child's school. Helen continues to work with individuals and organizations to resist ideological capture. Helen really just wants you to value evidence-based epistemology and consistently liberal principles.

    It's Okay to be a Man - with NJada

    NJada is a detransitioned man who began social transition in 2013 at the age of 19, and HRT the following year. He ultimately detransitioned in 2015. Since then he has been gradually working through stages of self-acceptance. After taking a break from the whole topic of gender for a time, he began to get in touch with other detransitioners in late 2018. In 2022 he began to write and speak publicly about his experience on Twitter and Substack. He hopes to share what he's learned about the draw to identify as a woman and how he has come to accept and even love being a man.

    The Shaman Brain - with Courtney Coulson

    Courtney Coulson is an Australian detransitioner and YouTuber exploring the real psychological and social motivations behind gender dysphoria. In this conversation, Courtney discusses a topic not nearly covered enough on this podcast, which is the role of online fandoms in Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria and motivating adolescent females to transition. A note to listeners: Courtney is a quick thinker and this conversation takes a lot of interesting turns. So if you’re like me and often listen to podcasts with the speed increased, best to leave this one at 1. Courtney's video on Autoandrophilia: https://youtu.be/S1NjLzFszFs?si=YaYW7M1Td__wW3iE
