Michael currently works in the music industry as an audio engineer. He has worked for Grammy-nominated artists & experimental artists alike, all around the world. He loved his work but noticed something didn't "feel right" several years ago, specifically in regard to the treatment of those with a differing opinion from those on the left. As an extremely liberal, perhaps even anarchistic person, it appeared the most "tolerant" were quickest to assume & judge, often with a thirst for blood, particularly in online arts spaces. After his own "cancelation" in 2023, Michael has been struggling to rebuild both personally & professionally. Though still figuring things out, he hopes perhaps someone out there might be able to relate to his experience & realize they are not alone. Lastly, Michael actually worked in the mental health field for years & quit for similar reasons over a decade ago, recently noticing striking similarities in the problems currently facing those in the arts & in the counseling profession.http://www.cartoonistmusic.com_____________________________________________________________________If you would like to contact me, my website is: https://theradicalcenterconsulting.com/ and I am on twitter @JLeslieElliott And if you appreciate this ongoing project and would like to support my continued work in this area you can chip in at any of the following (thank you very much!): https://www.paypal.me/jleslieelliott https://www.buymeacoffee.com/radicalcenterhttps://www.patreon.com/theradicalcenter

Gabrielle Turner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in the Austin, Texas area where she lives with her husband and three cats. She is a 2022 graduate of Texas State University's Professional Counseling Program. Starting her graduate program after raising three sons into their teens, she was prepared to see the infiltration of social justice and other left-leaning ideologies that has characterized higher education in the decades since she completed her undergraduate work. Even so, she was surprised at the level of social justice indoctrination present in the curriculum and especially in the students populating the program. She hopes to see a return to more balanced ways of approaching counselor education so members of the profession can better serve the wide variety of individuals and families seeking help._____________________________________________________________________If you would like to contact me, my website is: https://theradicalcenterconsulting.com/ and I am on twitter @JLeslieElliott And if you appreciate this ongoing project and would like to support my continued work in this area you can chip in at any of the following (thank you very much!): https://www.paypal.me/jleslieelliott https://www.buymeacoffee.com/radicalcenterhttps://www.patreon.com/theradicalcenter

Sasha Ayad is a licensed therapist, author and speaker who has been working with adolescents for over 15 years. She focuses on the way gender dysphoria and personal identity impact children and families. Sasha became interested in the sharp rise in teenagers who declare they are trans for the first time during adolescence. She questions the practice of medical transition for minors, and her clinical work focuses on developmentally appropriate, least-invasive-first talk therapy. Seeing a great need for parental guidance, Sasha began running parent groups in 2019 both online and through in-person retreats. She is the co-author of the book When Kids Say They’re Trans, she co-hosts the popular show, Gender: A Wider Lens, which is wrapping up its 4th year, and writes a monthly column on Substack. Sasha is launching a new project in spring of 2025 called The Metaphor of Gender - on this YouTube Channel, identity goes beyond the literal. She’ll use radical curiosity and surprising insights to help adolescents understand themselves better and skillfully navigate the real world.
