The New York Times's War On Trans Kids
Added 2023-02-28 10:00:59 +0000 UTCThe nation's most prestigious newspaper insists on asking a very stupid question. So for this month's bonus episode, we decided to answer it.
If you're new here, welcome! As we mentioned on the main feed, we're donating this month's support to Parker Molloy, Katelyn Burns and Evan Urquhart, three of our trans journo-friends who've been unbelievably patient with Mike as he's navigated the science and politics of this issue over the last year. Like and subscribe!
You can play the episode directly through Patreon or use our RSS feed to add it to your podcast app. Here are the instructions from Patreon. As ever, drop a line in the comments if you've got requests for future bonus episodes.
Next week: The Coddling Of The American Mind.
See you then!

Thank you for the arsenal of data. Surrounded by people at work who exist in this moral panic and refuse to look at any countering information objectively.

2024-02-12 02:37:05 +0000 UTCAlso requesting for this entire episode to be released publicly. The way the full episode ties this in with past moral panics drives the analysis home in a way that statistics alone cannot.
2024-02-06 00:02:33 +0000 UTCYay! My step mom sent me the NYT latest detransitioning garbage opinion piece this morning. I sent her the Amsterdam Cohort of Gender Dysphoria Study. Thanks for sharing the tools to troll the trolls. Also, hopping on the public release request bandwagon π€π©
2024-02-03 15:52:54 +0000 UTCItβs in The New York Times again today, which is, possibly ironically, Groundhog Day. Iβm sure there are examples of misguided care. Hey, as a cis, straight person, itβs happened to me. For example is not proof.
2024-02-02 21:48:21 +0000 UTCWas wondering the same re: public availability/main feed so I can assign in my race class gender course
2024-01-23 13:24:49 +0000 UTCTrans-gender queer person here! Thank you so much for doing this episode. I learned about your podcast from Adam Savage's youtube and I've been listening nonstop!

2024-01-06 22:56:52 +0000 UTCI need a Bonus episode on who Jesse Single is and why Mike yells at him so much.

2023-12-25 18:52:34 +0000 UTCJoining in with others to say this episode is TO IMPORTANT to be behind a pay wall! Listened to it so much so I have my facts ready for the transphobes
2023-12-12 16:26:32 +0000 UTCJust managed to have the disposable income to join the patreon so I've been listening through the backlog. Been wanting to listen to the full version of this since the teaser dropped, and I'm realizing I don't think I've ever in my life heard two cis men talk about trans people in a way that didn't miss any of the points I'd normally want to chime in about. I wasn't expecting how emotional I'd get. Guess I normally have to do too much explaining to let myself feel it, when these topics come up. I guess I just wanted to say thanks, and that it *is* such a breath of fresh air for the trans people to get to relax while the cis people do the debunking for once.
2023-10-28 03:28:17 +0000 UTCThis bears repeating: if you want to share this info, share the teaser!! It is concise, approachable, and already accessible!! As a trans person, this is what I would do, *even if the full version were public*. Folks are much more likely to finish a twenty minute podcast than an hour-long one, and the teaser hits all the same points.
2023-10-15 21:35:18 +0000 UTCYeah π’
