Days before teaching her women and girls safeguarding class, Amy Sousa was given a stage-three breast cancer diagnosis. Suddenly confronted with the very realities she had long analyzed, Amy found herself facing the possibility of losing a breast and being urged toward a radical double mastectomy. Amy details why she refused, what her independent research revealed about treatment statistics most women never hear, and how she was told not to worry because she’d like her new saline breasts even better. Amy dismantles myths around survival rates for lumpectomy versus mastectomy and examines the broader glamorization of harm—how beauty, status, and even self-destructive medical choices are marketed as aspirational.In this episode we also explore how medicalization of our female bodies blurs personal boundaries and Amy discusses how this tension can serve to sharpen our instincts and strengthen collective resistance to men in women’s spaces.


We reflect on moments of everyday courage recently demonstrated by Tish Hyman who went viral for confronting a man in the women’s locker room at Gold’s Gym in LA. We explore ways to hone our community responses and specifically what parents can do to keep their kids out of the trans cult. This episode calls listeners back to the wisdom of our mammalian instincts for both safety and procreation, and offer strategies for how to eat the transgender insanity from the inside out.
