It's becoming evident that there's the beginning of a wave of deaths from sepsis, liver failure and other results of "sex reassignment" surgeries. These young people, ages 24-35 have died: Griffin Sean Sivret, natal female, 24, died July 2024, sepsis after "phalloplasty,' Yarden Seveira, 24, natal male, at own hand after "vaginoplasty" left him with blocked colon, Liam Johns, 35, natal female, liver failure due to testosterone poisoning. These deaths are not reported, the orgs promoting iatrogenic harm from "affirmation" refused to recognize.

Listen to detransitioners on Andrew Gold's Heretics, heartbreaking & 1 reason Rowling & Cass Report have gone to bat for @ risk youth, exploiting the vulnerable has become a for-profit industry of unnecessary hormonal regimes & castrating mutilating sterilizing surgeries.

Truth be known there have been shocking deaths for decades. Sad to say...

[@UteHeggenTranswidowHeals]

@@ronachadwick7908 Is there any website keeping this data? The doctors must be forced to admit the harm they do.

@@robbiespence6504 I just found out about a cluster of young people who died by their own hands in Lancaster PA. Sam Walter Cassidy (Theodora), Brayden Snyder, natal female, River Paige Olmsted, Ashton Clatterbuck. 2022-2024. Suspicious. There must be an abuser or brainwashing cult recruiter. The narrative the TRAs set on this does not recognize that there might be someONE there who's promoting this to the kids. Meanwhile the community is blamed for "bu---ing.

Be encouraged Stephanie, you are on the right track, this is a great episode, you have an ability to bring out the best in your interviewees

[@rvastrik]

Thanks for the interesting conversation! I am convinced that a psychotherapist must have a full understanding of the norm and pathology and, of course, use this basic principle in work. Maintaining and strengthening the perception of reality is elementary.

Loved seeing the exchange between Warren and his student. The school has made a grave mistake, IMO. I feel for the kids missing out on such a teacher. If I were a parent there, I would be taking exception.

Critical thinking starts with giving yourself permission to ask questions.

Great episode. On the subject of birth control-I was put on the pop a couple months after menarche because it was “too heavy”. Was on that for about ten years. Now, 8 years after stopping, I still do not have a regular cycle. The gyno never followed up with me at all and might be causing infertility in young women to this very day-

Would love to know your thoughts on Better Help. I think it may be the worst thing for the mental health field but curious what you think.

[@christinadodd5780]

Almost every podcast I listen to advertises for Better Help. Several months ago, a podcast I listened to decided to stop advertising Better Help because it shares patients' health information and other unethical things they've done. The podcast said it lost a lot of money by doing it. I wonder if $$$ is the reason most of these podcasts advertise for it. I'm sure it is.

weird ending

[@PonyboyGarfunkel]

This is my first time watching the channel. I am a geezer, and I have been following Warren's job plight. This therapist woman clearly explains her perspective on her profession, and what she says rings true. It's not easy to arrange to speak openly with a "smarter" person in the real world, but it can be wonderfully therapeutic. I don't need no "yes" man, plus any honest criticism creates an opportunity for me to practice stoicism.

[@christinadodd5780]

I found her podcast a couple of weeks ago, subscribed to it, and listened to several episodes. They're full of great information and interesting! Everyone needs to listen to it, and maybe people will start understanding how this gender stuff is ruining people's lives. I also recommend the "Gender-A Wides Lens" KZbin channel/podcast.
