Deep dives
The Influence of Gender Ideology on Adolescents
The podcast episode discusses the story of Rosa, a teenage girl influenced by gender ideology. After her experience online during COVID lockdowns, she identified as non-binary and demanded testosterone, causing distress to her parents. The psychiatrist, Dr. Miriam Grossman, resolved the situation by helping Rosa confront harmful online influences and reintegrate with her family, emphasizing the dangers of unquestioningly accepting new gender identities.
Challenges Faced by Parents in Gender Affirming Therapy
The podcast looks at the challenges parents face in gender affirming therapy for their children. Parents find themselves isolated and demonized when opposing the prevailing ideology. Dr. Grossman highlights the trauma experienced by parents and advocates for recognizing their struggles and providing support initiatives for them.
Controversy Surrounding Social Transitioning of Children
The episode delves into the controversial topic of social transitioning for children. Social transition, without long-term benefits proven by recent studies, may lead vulnerable children down a harmful path of irreversible medical interventions. Dr. Grossman emphasizes the importance of critically evaluating such transitions for young individuals.
Medicalization and Ideology in Gender Dysphoria Treatment
Dr. Grossman discusses the medicalization and societal impact of gender dysphoria treatment. She raises concerns over the rushed medical interventions on adolescents who lack informed consent. The podcast explores the complexity of gender dysphoria cases and underscores the need for caution and thorough exploration before resorting to irreversible medical treatments.
“We are creating a generation of young people who are sterile,” says Miriam Grossman, M.D., a psychiatrist who has refused to submit to what she describes as the “religion” of gender ideology. “They will be consumers of pharmaceuticals the rest of their life.” Many of Miriam’s clients fell down the rabbit hole of transgenderism during the COVID-19 lockdowns. They were “online 24/7.” When these young people turned to self-harm, the parents were afraid to hospitalize them, believing as Dr. Grossman does that “the adolescent psychiatric units in our hospitals are creating transgender children.” After revealing the role the American Psychological Association played in removing “disorder” from “gender-identity disorder," Glenn and Miriam discuss the now-discredited World Professional Association for Transgender Health and whether or not using someone’s preferred pronouns after “social transition” is as compassionate as everyone says. After all the unethical “therapy” hoisted on kids, the parents are left traumatized, after realizing, as Glenn says, “Our doctors are not to be trusted.”
