In today’s episode, Emma tells her story of being groomed into transgender ideology at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2015. Emma says she could “fill the bingo card of all the things that make you vulnerable to trans ideology”: history of eating disorders, bisexually, and surviving sexual abuse to name a few. When Emma first encountered gender ideology, she was skeptical and even argued for women’s rights, but when she entered the full-time academic environment of an elite art school, she was encouraged to hate her body and to believe all her problems would go away if she could become a man. Almost as quickly as she fell under the spell of trans ideology, she realized she would never, no matter what she did to her body, transform into a man.

Emma touches on the curious phenomenon of white middle class women becoming nonbinary and how she traces her identify confusion to her own adoption. As a bonus, you’ll get to hear some of our cringey art school projects from before we deprogrammed. Emma shares alternatives to medicalization, relevant to anyone battling disassociation and disembodiment.
