What happens when we try to separate a person from their identity, from the very traits that make them unique? Golden Compass explores this question when it is revealed that the government, inspired by religious fundamentalism, is violently separating children from their daemons - i.e. animal companions that, in this universe, embody their souls. With our guest, Mad activist Kaz DeWolfe, we discuss the parallels between this procedure and therapies/treatments designed to make people more neurotypical and conforming.
