🎙️ Informed Dissent — Nov 15, 2025

This week, Jamie Reed and Cori Cohn hold down the fort while Lauren Leggieri recovers from being sick — we miss her and hope she’s back next week.

Jamie and Cori are joined by Vincent Deboni for a wide-ranging discussion about how powerful ideologies tend to follow the same playbooks across countries and institutions. Together they tackle one of the biggest questions of the moment:

Are rates of transgender identification actually falling?How do we measure it, what early signals are emerging, and why might the landscape be shifting?

We also break down the news of the week, share updates from the movement, and look ahead to major events coming up.

📅 Save the Date — January 13th, U.S. Supreme Court

Join us on the steps of the Supreme Court on January 13th to stand in support of protecting girls’ sports.Bring a sign, bring a friend, and bundle up — we’ll be out there doing the right thing, together.
