joey brite, producer of 'Can I Get a Witness' conference, discusses grassroots organizing in gender-critical activism. Conversation focuses on protesting the impacts of gender ideology on children and youth, with a call to empower grassroots activism and support radical feminism.

This is a song Thistle wrote and recorded six years ago when she was first connecting the dots about transgender ideology. Lyrics 'Trans' is a liberal construct invented by white straight men that shuts down our discussions of their violent power and then they 'win' Violent power begins with man over woman and then it all spins off from there into this postmodern racist sexist nightmare... What would be the opposite if 'trans' was real? ('cis, 'cis) Only those seduced by power expect the whole world to be a personal deal! Who make it their standard, only personal word their proof, to be the center of everything! While the earth chokes and dies of their spoof...their spoof! The joke's on you, there are better things to do and in the meantime, we are igniting, yes in the meantime we are uniting... The distance between us seems greater than the sum of the parts. My heart is beating while the oxygen's depleting it's way too hard! To be hopeful for the future, for humanity, my greattest hope is that me and my friends go out with dignity from this postmodern racist sexist nightmare, this postmodern racist sexist nightmare...awooo!

Tree Earth, a detransitioned lesbian feminist and homesteader from Appalachia, shares her journey of self-discovery and the importance of community support. She delves into the challenges faced by women in navigating gender identity and emphasizes the significance of female liberation. Listeners will find her insights on reconnecting with nature through homesteading particularly inspiring. The discussion also touches on the controversial role of the medical-industrial complex in gender identity, highlighting the personal struggles many face in their transition and detransition journeys.

In this interview from our June 2021 Edition podcast, WLRN's Mer talks with homesteader, female liberationist, and detransitioned woman, Tree Earth. Tree shares her story with Mer, talks about her experience from transitioning to detransitioning, and the big picture in all of this debate around gender. Stay tuned for WLRN's handcrafted podcasts the first Thursday of every month!

joey brite of Can I Get a Witness sat down with Kellie Jay Keen-Minshull, aka Posie Parker, and had a conversation that has not yet taken place online. She wanted to allow Kellie the kind of space to be able to tell the story of her trajectory from being someone who, although very interested in fairness and willing to engage in political discussions, had not yet woken up to the kind of men’s rights movement that had been worming its way into women’s communities across the western world years before. This conversation ended up covering several topics and hopefully will bring a fresh perspective to some viewers. https://www.standingforwomen.com/ https://www.sovereignwomencircle.com/ https://uncommongroundmedia.com/posie-parkers-graphic-protest-against-stonewall-policies/ Thanks for staying tuned to feminist community-powered radio, WLRN!
