Episode notes
Gender As Created Design
- Gender is a God-given design category, not something you must become.
- Reject cultural stereotypes to see sex differences as created kinds, not a spectrum.
Coach Who Turned A Teen Around
- Alisa recounted a middle-school turning point when a coach corrected her behavior and affirmed her identity.
- That moment pulled her back from an identity drift that today might have been labeled differently.
Social Media As Recruiter
- Social media massively increased youth transgender identification, especially among girls.
- Platforms like TikTok and Instagram act as search engines that recruit confused teens into gender identity narratives.
