Curtis is among the most thought-provoking political thinkers I've gotten to rap with. His older work, "Unqualified Reservations" is a treasure trove of dissident anti-establishment thought (I highly recommend "How Dawkins Got Pwned" and "An Open Letter to Open Minded Progressives"), and his current blog, "Gray Mirror" is furthering his political critique of the current world order. https://graymirror.substack.com  https://www.unqualified-reservations.org  How Dawkin's Got Pwned, narrated by  @SkepticalWaves  : https://youtu.be/ihiqIcHV7d4  Support this channel:   https://www.paypal.me/benjaminboyce  https://cash.app/$benjaminaboyce  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/benjaminaboyce

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."

S5 Ep 20s05e20 | 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.

S5 Ep 7s05e07 | Talking Therapies & Gender Identities, with Marcus and Susan Evans

Susan and Marcus Evans are seasoned psychotherapists who worked at the Tavistock Clinic in the UK. During their time there, the Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS) experienced a massive influx of referrals, and they both witnessed a startling switch in the psychotherapy profession from patient inquiry to "affirmative" chemical treatments, specifically when "gender" was involved, and out of keeping with the broader standards of care for other psychological treatments. In time, both of them were compelled to blow the whistle on this sea change, and have since written an in-depth, factually based book on Gender Dysphoria that aims to bring to light the complexity and humanity of this novel corner of human mental health.

Beginning at puberty, Andrius was enthralled by a persistent desire to become a woman (otherwise known as "autogynephilia": the love of oneself as a woman). These feelings persisted and increased until his late 20's, where a series of spiritual, intellectual, and social events set him on a path of resolving his desires and bringing him into harmony with his male body and masculine identity.

S4 Ep 91s04e91 | From Transition to Liberation: A Detrans Male Story, with Torren Danowski

I spoke with Torren at the end of 2020 about his struggles with gender, black and white thinking, and Obsessive-Compulsive ideation. A couple weeks ago he reached out to me inquiring if I had heard of psychedelic therapies for these issues, and I only had heard anecdotes. He then shared his libertarian podcast with me and I was amazed at his change of attitude and new-found confidence, so I wanted to have him back on to speak about what he's been through over the last (nearly) two years, in which he founded Don't Tread On Philly in response to the draconian civil rights violations of Philadelphia's pandemic response, and is now running for mayor on the Libertarian ticked.
