SUBSCRIBE FOR FULL EPISODE
Dr. Miriam Grossman steps into the spotlight, bringing forth her seasoned expertise on the perplexing issue of gender ideology and the medicalization of children. Her insight cuts through the noise, unpacking the transformation of gender into a social construct and the startling rise in children identifying as transgender. This is a thought-provoking discussion that challenges the current narrative and lays bare the concerns surrounding the direction of child and adolescent psychiatric care.
Amid the exploration of this sensitive topic, we confront the burgeoning phenomenon of detransitioners, whose voices seem lost in the clamor for gender-affirming care. Dr. Grossman sheds light on the potential psychology behind this regret and the social dynamics that could be contributing to a rise in gender dysphoria diagnoses. By bringing critical attention to the work of organizations like the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, our conversation underscores the necessity of staying abreast of the ever-evolving research in this contentious field.
Our dialogue culminates in a candid analysis of the societal repercussions gender ideology has engendered, considering the profound psychological impact and the societal division it perpetuates. Dr. Grossman's commentary encourages a reevaluation of the epistemological shifts we are witnessing—where subjective experiences often overshadow biological realities. The episode ties together with a trove of resources Dr. Grossman has contributed to, from Congressional testimony to podcast features, all aimed at enriching our understanding of this complex and critical issue.
