Mary Margaret Olohan Pulls Back Curtain on ‘Gender Ideology Cult’
The cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries being prescribed to young people struggling with their gender identity are “experimental,” according to Mary Margaret Olohan.
“We don't actually know what kind of effects that the puberty blockers and hormones are having on these young people,” Olohan says of women and men who attempt to change their bodies to appear as the opposite sex.
In her new book “Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult,” Olohan shares the stories of detransitioners, such as Prisha Mosley.
As a young woman, Mosley took testosterone and had a double mastectomy before she chose to detransition and return to living as a female. Now an adult, she is expecting a child, but will never be able to breastfeed her baby.
“I'm very happy for her and glad to see that she is able to bring new life into the world,” Olohan says of Mosley, but added that “we don't know if other people will be able to do the same. ”
“There are people who have found that they are infertile now, due to the testosterone or the hormones” they took, she says.
Olohan, who is also a senior reporter for The Daily Signal, joins the podcast to explain how so many young people are being lured into the “gender ideology cult,” and what happens to a male or female body when taking cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers.

China Abducted Her Uyghur Sister When She Spoke Out Against Persecution
Rushan Abbas, a Muslim Uyghur living in America, delivered remarks at the Hudson Institute in 2018 about China’s persecution of Uyghurs. Six days later, her sister was arrested by the Chinese government.
“My freedom of speech in America as an American citizen, my First Amendment right, cost my own sister's freedom,” Abbas, founder and executive director of Campaign for Uyghurs, says.
Abbas describes her sister as someone who was living an “ordinary life.”
“She's not famous. She's not an educator. She never traveled to any of the Muslim-majority countries. But yet, [the] last five years and nine months, that she's in jail now,” says Abbas, who was born in China but moved to America 35 years ago.
The Chinese Communist Party views “anything that's different as a threat,” Abbas says. “So, the Uyghurs believing in religion and speaking a different language and … having completely unique cultural differences—all this the Chinese government is taking as a threat.”
Since her sister was imprisoned in China, Abbas quit her job and began advocating full time for the freedom of Uyghurs just like her sister.
She joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why the Chinese Communist Party is persecuting Uyghurs and what Americans can do to help.

Why Climate Agenda Puts America in ‘Chinese Handcuffs'
China is intentionally advancing a climate agenda for its own gain, and America is allowing it to happen, according to a senior research fellow for international affairs at The Heritage Foundation’s Asian Studies Center.
China has “taken advantage of the United States, because we’ve had this very driven climate agenda,” Heritage’s Erin Walsh says. (Heritage founded The Daily Signal in 2014.)
The development of solar energy, for example, began in America, and then the Chinese developed it further, and now China controls the “entire supply chain, so you can’t be involved unless you’re purchasing some goods from China to make your solar panels,” Walsh explained, adding that the same is true for wind turbines, and for batteries and electric vehicles. Right now with respect to EV batteries, "they’ve got the dominant control of the supply chain.”
The more the U.S. and other nations move toward use of wind and solar energy, and electric vehicles, the further China’s economy benefits and America’s economy and national security are put at risk, according to Walsh.
Walsh joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss her work on Heritage’s new project, “Chinese Handcuffs: How China Exploits America’s Climate Agenda.”

Regarding August 30th …actually the original idea of the Senate was the representatives were supposed to be closer to the State not the President. Article 1 section 3 : the senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State , chosen by the legislature thereof….. this was changed by Amendment 17 in 1913 . This amendment said : “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two senators from each state elected by the people …”. So basically the original thinking of the founders was to balance the power in congress between a popular vote (house) and a state legislature vote (senate). To me the 17th amendment was very wrong headed because this took power away from the State. Having Congress chosen by two different ways of election was way better. Now we see Senators no longer accountable to their State that they are supposed to represent (example in my case - John Cornyn- who votes many times with whatever McConnell says or even with the Democrats ). How differently would he vote on things if he were more beholden to the State?
