s05e28 | Dark Heart of the Ivory Tower: Corruption of Psychology Departments, with Christine Sefein

Christine Sefein is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who was teaching graduate-level courses in psychology at Antioch university until Critical Social Justice infiltrated both teaching culture and the classroom—and she couldn't suppress her dissent anymore. In this calmversation, we speak about her life growing up as an Egyptian immigrant in the Bay Area, her time being a SJW in college, and how life tempered her views and grounded her thinking in common sense humanitarian values.   Contact her on gettr at https://gettr.com/user/christine123  Email: christine.moms4liberty@gmail.com   Learn more about Moms For Liberty via https://www.momsforliberty.org    Support this channel:  https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce  https://cash.app/$benjaminaboyce  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyce

s05e27 | Canada's Easy-Access Euthanasia Program, "MAiD" with Rupa Subramanya

Rupa Subramanya is a Indian-Canadian journalist who's been digging into the nuances and disturbing trajectories of Canada's government. In this conversation we broach the topic of "MAiD"—Canada's "Medical Assistance in Dying" program, which began with giving terminally ill people a quickened end, and is now being broadened to include mental illnesses and "mature minors." Some morbid stuff, but Rupa handles it with balance and inquisitiveness.

s05e22 | Gender Medicine Has Gone INSANE: Inside WPATH, with Eliza Mondegreen

Eliza Mondegreen has been fascinated by totalitarian language games and gender for years—so much so that she's pursuing a masters degree to study the totalitarian gender phenomenon that's impacting girls, boys, women and men.

Prisha is a young woman whose various mental health issues—from BPD to anorexia to childhood trauma—were lumped by her doctors under the umbrella of "gender dysphoria." At the age of 15 she was put on hormones and shortly thereafter had her breasts removed.

s05e20 | Furry Fandom & Detransition, with Ria

Ria got involved in "Furry" fandom a decade ago, drawn to this fuzzy niche culture by its emphasis on creativity and quirky social gatherings. Over the years, however, she saw it succumb to "social justice" ideas, where people policed each other's thoughts and art on the basis of fighting oppression. In tandem, a sexual element began to become more prevalent, with a disturbing amount of "minor-attracted" art and "grooming" behavior. Oh yeah, she also was trans for a while, and detransitioned due to the health effects of testosterone on her female body. We speak about these two topics, and more, and if you have spotify you gotta watch the video as her smile is the cat's... fursuit?
