Episode notes
Supreme Court Case Could Reshape Counseling Rights
- Childs v. Salazar challenges state bans that restrict counselors from discussing non-affirming options with minors.
- The case could set precedent nationwide on whether therapists may offer speech-based counseling inconsistent with state-favored views.
Surge In Youth Diagnoses Has Cultural Roots
- Rapid increases in gender dysphoria diagnoses suggest social and cultural drivers, not only clinical ones.
- Joe Dallas calls much of the youth trend "rapid onset gender dysphoria," arguing many cases are driven by trends rather than true clinical dysphoria.

- 'Conversion therapy' is a politicized label used broadly to silence dissenting counseling approaches.
- Dallas warns the label targets pastors, counselors, and any speech contradicting affirming positions.
