Important story, well told

skepticatt12/25/2025

How can our society effectively support transgender individuals and also protect vulnerable adolescents who feel social pressure to make irreversible changes to their bodies? Blanket bans on medical interventions are certainly not the answer, and neither is rushing treatment and refusing to discuss potential issues. This podcast contributes to the nuanced dialogue we sorely need.

Biased and inaccurate

It's clear the reporter went into this podcast with the same trans-skeptic stance the NYT has increasingly bolstered over the past decade. If you're interested in the latest and best biology and psychology regarding gender identity you won't find it here. Ironically, many reviewers here seem to think this show is supportive of trans identities. I think they must not have listened very carefully.

Episode 4

Jaime should go ahead and lick a boot. Her hypocrisy is showing

Good until ep.3

Jo in episode 3 is anti-science and anti-data. Why are you platforming someone with these views? I don't care how many people clap for her, she comes across terribly in this interview.

Your bias is showing

This is a perfect example of why Trump one this is not reporting facts. This is pushing an agenda. The people who made this have assumed they are right and the conversation is over without ever being had. Stop transing gay kids!!!
