Adore this show!

Just listened to the rapid onset of gender dysphoria episode. As a parent of a trans kiddo, I’ve been on the front lines of seeing a child at the age of 8 beginning to realize who they are. They are almost 20 now. Alive, healthy, living well. Without therapy and treatment I’m 100% certain they wouldn’t be with us today. (edit—it took a year of counseling and a doc approval before they could access hormone treatment)

Mike needs 10,000 platforms for stupid internet fights

just Mike’s twitter beefs and frankly the ethics of still being on twitter alone sink this. for the love of god jump ship, Aubrey.

I’m a subscriber but…

They’ve stopped doing regular episodes so basically their content is going to be behind a paywall from now on. So typical of where podcasting is headed

UPDATE: this show is barely recognizable. Everything Mike touches could turn to gold, but it turns into leftist political commentary. Why can’t any of his shows stay true to the original premise of the show? I’m a leftist myself but I’m tired of hearing about politics. Just do health and wellness please
