In this interview, I talk with Lauren Leggieri about her action at the American Academy of Pediatrics convention and her activism. Lauren is a lesbian in her 40’s who has seen firsthand the harm brought by trans ideology on the lesbian and gay community. She became concerned about the medicalization of gay youth some years ago and has been trying to raise awareness around what she sees as transing the gay away. Lauren is articulate and intelligent, and this was a wonderful conversation.

In this interview, I talk with Candice Jackson about her perspectives on “trans rights” in law. How those “rights” conflict with women’s rights and what people get wrong when discussing this topic.

Candice Jackson is an attorney in Washington, Oregon and California. She served in the Trump Administration in the U.S. Department of Education where she worked on Title IX regulations. Since 2021 she has worked with groups challenging gender identity ideology and promoting the rights of women and lesbians.

Second-wave feminism and the idea of butch and femme has a long and complicated history. Radical feminism has historically not been very welcoming to lesbians who call themselves butch or femme.

In this episode, I sit down with a lesbian couple who embrace both their radical feminist beliefs and the butch-femme labels.

In this episode of Peak Lesbian I discuss the trauma and pain that is often inflicted on same-sex attracted people by religion. Why many of us are still very skeptical of the religious right, and the role religion plays in transition. I share a personal story of my step uncle, and how religious bigotry impacted him.
