Whose Body Is It

⁠Keep Your Kids Out of The Trans Cult⁠

The one and only Kellie-Jay Keen came through Austin this past weekend as a part of her US tour. The Austin Speaker's Corner was unlike others in that we had a team of private security. The usual cowards showed up- middle aged men shouting thing like, "GO HOME TERFS" and "TRANS LIBERATION" aka 'shut up women' and 'mens rights over women's safety'. The weekend was filled with lots of terfy connections and a terf miracle which I get into in the recap. Special thanks to Kellie-Jay Keen, Meghan Murphy, Mary Lou Singleton and Michelle Evans for making the Austin event powerfully connective.

⁠Keep Your Kids Out of The Trans Cult⁠

Growing up in San Francisco, today's guest Rae, was not a stranger to Pride parade or transgenderism, although she wasn’t directly involved in either. Trans ideology appeared more overtly for her in 2019, when she was in a relationship with someone who was online all the time. It wasn't long until she was deep in various forums, exploring new labels for her sexual and gender identities.

Ensconced in these echo chambers, she began to identify as trans. After coming out to her therapist and primary care provider, she was passed off to specialists in “trans health care,” who encouraged her to go on testosterone and get a double mastectomy. She soon recognized that the short lived high of being on T could not outweigh the side long-term negative side effects, which for Rae included developing a blood clot. When her painful bruising appeared, it was not her doctor, but her friend, who reminded her to tune into her body's needs.

In this episode, we explore what motivated Rae to dis-identify with her femaleness, what kept her going back to her doctors, and how she started listening to her body again. Towards the end of the episode we have a lively conversation about if and how to stay in connection with trans-identified friends, and how to establish boundaries.

Know in 4 hrs: Decide whether or not to freeze your eggs, do IVF or surrogacy

Kajsa Ekis Ekman writes on feminism, economics, and political theory from a dialectical materialist framework. When Kajsa first felt called to write about prostitution, she quickly realized that the same arguments used to defend commercial sex were being used to defend surrogacy.  Kajsa notes that prostitution is where you sell sex without reproduction, and surrogacy is where you sell reproduction without sex, and in both cases, the woman being sold does not get to enjoy either sex or reproduction.

Sex-work apologists will claim that radical feminists don’t ‘talk to sex workers,’ but Ekman certainly did for her book Being and Being Bought published in 2013. What she found was that it’s not a ‘job like any other,’ that ninety-eight percent of people selling sex are women, and that they have a mortality rate 40 times higher than women not in prostitution. She found that sex-work advocacy groups and unions were fake organizations established to protect commerce, not women. So, with such grim statistics, why aren’t more politicians and advocates invested in the Nordic Model, which criminalizes sex buyers.

In today’s podcast, we explore the patriarchal desires driving prostitution, surrogacy, and transgender ideology. We also discuss unfriendings, getting cancelled, and how we can resist the global-scale colonization of women.

After becoming a chiropractor and beginning her holistic wellness practice in 2012, Dr. Melissa Sell kept meeting patients who, in spite of approaching their environment, diet, and lifestyle with care and attention seemed to remain unwell. In 2017, Dr. Melissa found a profoundly different medical model that made sense of it all. This model is called German New Medicine, and in today’s episode, we dive deep into the roots of disease. Through the GNM lens, disease is not a punishment for bad lifestyle, instead it is evidence of adaptation. From acne to cancer, acute illness and chronic pain, disease can be seen as a special program our body is running in order to heal from a conflict we’ve experienced. While these traumas may have a psychological impact like grief or fear, the program our body runs is biological, not psychosomatic.

What happens when we reframe the familiar story that disease is a punishment for not taking good enough care of our bodies, and instead see it as nature’s purposeful, meaningful enhancement, meant to help our species survive on a grand scale? This framing flies in the face of the transhumanist medical model, where chemical or surgical interventions are offered and even glorified in place of root cause healing. You'll walk away from this conversation with a deeper look at the GNM understanding of viruses and colds, sexual orientation, transgenderism, the role of herbs and other holistic remedies in the healing process, and how uncovering the stories of our lives can help us find permanent solutions to our problems.

Today I speak with my friend Adelaide Meadow. Adelaide is a traditional midwife, functional medicine practitioner & women's movement specialist. Adelaide's work challenges everything you’ve been taught about the female pelvis. Adelaide believes that pelvic health is the apex of women’s wellbeing and discusses why women need to prioritize it, even if our doctors, yoga teachers and other wellness experts won’t.

According to Adelaide this is not just a matter of health - this is a feminist issue. As young girls doing ballet and gymnastics, we're instructed to tuck our tailbones and suck in our ribcage, advice that contradicts our natural physiological alignment. This continues into adulthood where we’re often told to exercise and move like men. Whether we're squeezing into skinny jeans and high wasted leggings or constantly sucking in our bellies the message is clear: be smaller and take up less space. We discuss in depth how our female socialization undermines our vitality and why taking back our pelvic health can mean taking back our power.

You may be aware of the prevalence of pornography, the way it’s crept into popular media and normalized the objectification of women and girls, but today’s guest, writer and activist Caitlin Roper is bringing news from the outer limits of male sexual entitlement. In this episode we explore an emerging threat in the exploitation of women and girls, sex robots and sex abuse dolls. Caitlin notes that life-like sex abuse dolls, including ones modeled after infants, toddlers, and children, have been available for sale on popular platforms like Etsy, Alibaba and Amazon.

Apologists will say ‘better these men should do this to a doll than to a real woman or girl,’ but for Roper, this logic does not hold up to scrutiny. In her new book Sex Dolls, Robots & Woman Hating, Caitlin says that sex dolls and robots have actually created even more opportunity for exploitation, including the production of sex abuse dolls made to look like specific children and instagram influencers.

As the Campaigns Manager of Collective Shout, an organization that combats exploitation of women and girls in media and popular culture, Caitlin discusses her work with teen girls and the skills needed to resist porn culture in everyday life.

Today I speak with my friend Kate Rose, who has been involved in a defamation lawsuit for the past 4 years. Weeks away from trial, Kate is ready to break her silence about the Plaintiff in the case, Danny Gallagher.

Kate’s story begins in 2017, when she was a self-described “liberal-baby doula” and joined numerous online forums to grow her birth work business. Shortly thereafter, Danny Gallagher joined multiple birth-focused groups, too. Armed with a tragic story, he gained sympathy in these otherwise women-only spaces. Soon though, he was dominating the groups with posts and advice, advertising opportunities to make as much as $5k per month with hardly any effort. Kate reached out, but soon found out the “big opportunity” was porn. Before long, it became clear Danny’s recruitment efforts were not limited to Kate, and he was booted from multiple doula and mother’s facebook groups. When women tried to share information about Gallagher’s actions, he retaliated. Gallagher has since sued over 20 women, mostly low-income birth workers and mothers, claiming $5 million in damages apiece for defamation. Kate explains why defamation cases are the perfect way to maintain contact with victims of abuse and prevent them from speaking out. We get into DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) tactics and how individuals can exploit the legal system to tie women up in prolonged court cases.

Shira Richter is a researcher, filmmaker, and multimedia artist whose work on motherhood, mothers’ work, and living in a military state confronts the dominant narrative. She’s been censored for covering topics such as friendship between Israeli and Palestinian women and postpartum depression. Shira notes that mainstream media represents the interest of the state, whether that’s about healthcare, war or women’s bodies. The media, like the state, wants ordinary people to carry out embittered battles on their behalf. Shira is no stranger to controversy, as one of the original signers of the 2015 open letter to MANA authored by Mary Lou Singleton, which protested the removal of the words women and mother in their educational materials. In this episode we explore the intersection of the scamdemic, transgender ideology, industrial birth and female erasure within the context of Israel and the expectations of Israeli Jewish mothers to circumcise their baby boys and send them to war. Shira and I also discuss the success of the three in-person events we put on in Israel in August.

On today’s episode, I'm joined by my dear friend and women's sexual trauma coach Serendipiti Day. Dipiti and I were in the mountains of North Carolina working (and partying) at the Matriarch Rising Festival in June. Dipiti has worked and volunteered for many women’s festivals around the US, but this year, Matriarch Rising Festival was her number one priority.

Dipiti explains the essentials for throwing the best women-only events (hint: it starts with knowing what a woman is). Dipiti brings to the conversation her experiences in the BDSM world, which seemingly offers women defined sexual boundaries. But is it possible to heal past violations while exposing ourselves to further exploitation? We also discuss porn and its false promises of empowerment, marriage, which of our human rights we trade for social and financial safety and finally, how radical feminism provides the lens to analyze sexual politics from our own personal experience.

Why does the United Nations want your kindergartner to know about gender identities? And why are they so insistent on allowing men in women’s spaces? In this episode, I'm joined by the K. Yang also know as the Deprogrammerxx, for an in-depth look at the UN, its history, its funding, and its agenda. The UN was founded to reduce global conflict, but with an agenda that pushes transhumanism, mass surveillance, and tighter top-down authority across member nations, is it actually creating a future of global female subordination? The Deprogrammer brings a wealth of research to this conversation, as well as her personal experience in “stakeholder capitalism.” In this episode, we’ll get out of the zone of lateral violence and “learn to look up,” so we can resist female erasure on a global scale.
