On April 19th, the Biden Administration released new rules "broadening the scope of Title IX," the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational programs. The new rules add "gender identity" to the law, roll back regulations aimed at ensuring due process for those accused of harassment or assault, and effectively demand use of "preferred pronouns," leading many to view the changes as nothing less than destruction of women’s sex based protections in colleges and universities across America and right to compete on fair ground in sport, as well as forcing people to refer to men identifying as women as "she," and creating a system wherein anyone accused of harassment or assault can have their lives destroyed with little recourse. 
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Julie Hamill, a child advocate, lawyer, and Palos Verdes School Board Member, about the changes and their impact.

New Title IX rules threaten female sports and due process

It's only recently that we are beginning to hear the stories of family members of men who have begun identifying as women, from the “trans widow” to, now, the children of transitioners.
Emma Thomas is the founder of the campaign group, Children of Transitioners, a group that questioned the University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust on their “perinatal care policy for trans and non binary people policy." Children of Transitioners inquired about “safeguarding concerns about the sexual and emotional abuse of babies and children of transitioners” and asked about evidence supporting the claim that the “milk” produced by trans-identified men after taking a combination of drugs is “comparable to that produced following the birth of a baby.” 
Emma's own father "came out" to her as "trans" when she was nine. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about her childhood, her father, and her concerns about protecting kids and babies from trans ideology.

Emma Thomas' father 'came out' as trans when she was nine—now she fights to protect kids like her

Sasha Ayad⁠ is Licensed Professional Counselor who has treated adolescents for over 13 years. She began feeling concerned about the trans trend reaching teens, and after learning about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) so began looking into the “trans kid”phenomenon more deeply. Sasha became a founding board member of several organizations fighting for a more cautious, science-based approach, including ⁠Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine⁠, ⁠The Gender Exploratory Therapy Association,⁠ and ⁠Genspect.⁠ She is co-host of Gender: A Wider Lens⁠ Podcast⁠ and co-author, alongside Lisa Marchiano and Stella O’Malley, of a new book called, ⁠When Kids Say They’re Trans⁠. 
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about what’s really behind teenagers' desire to transition and what parents can do when dealing with a teen identifying as trans.

Sasha Ayad: When kids say they're trans

The so-called "trans widow" has become the woman best able to reveal the truth about the trans trend. She is the woman who lost her husband to transgenderism, and often tells a similar story of porn addiction, narcissism, abandonment of family, and sometimes abuse. I spoke with one women, who is remaining anonymous for safety reasons, about her ex-husband, who she is calling "Dave," and how he went from abuser to trans activist, escaping any accountability.
