If your family was stricken by gender ideology prior to 2020, it might have felt like an apocalypse had come just for you. The world outside acted as if everything was normal! It was always the case that some people were born in the wrong bodies, and we’ve all known this for like, ever. Well today your child was discovered to be a wrong-bodied person too! All your friends and neighbors will now join you in celebration while multidisciplined experts apply their special knowledge to the task of authenticizing your daughter’s body and mind. Thereafter, his marvelous, invisible birth defect will be history — just not the kind of history that can ever be spoken of.

I know I sometimes exaggerate but I haven’t yet done so today. The impact of this bespoke apocalypse on parents calls for words I don’t think exist, but “brutalizing” and “isolating” will do for a start. The lucky ones will have had at least one other adult, ideally a spouse, as a trusted confidante and ally, but even the strongest, most sympathetic spouse would never defeat an apocalypse.

No, that would be a job for a turbo-charged red-headed Irish psychotherapist with a very particular skill set, a highly disarming laugh and a pair — metaphorically speaking — of giant brass balls. It’s a massive honor to have Stella O’Malley here for what will be the penultimate episode of this podcast.

Even if all she gave us were those excellent 205 “GWL” episodes, Stella would have earned a spot on my personal Mt. Rushmore now and forever — but the podcast was only the beginning. Next she took on WPATH (the World Professional Association for Transgender Health), the faux medical society that had effectively hypnotized institutions of trust across the developed world with the aim of reprogramming humanity to submit to the misanthropic nihilism of Queer Theory. WPATH had plenty of help from the tragically confused kindness brigade, plus untold millions of dollars and a 20- or 30- year head start. Stella had no army and no resources other than her training and knowledge of human psychology plus common sense, compassion, resolve and courage to spare.

Notes from the discussion:

Genspect.org has information and resources for anyone confronting gender ideology in any of its forms

The Gender Framework is available in paperback and highly recommended.

This is my draft poster for the event I’d love to see at Genspect’s next conference. Leave a comment if you agree its time has come!

The last link needs no introduction — just a gift from me to you. You’re welcome!
