My conversation with Carol
I recently sat for my first podcast interview. My host was Carol, a butch lesbian whose fantastic YouTube channel you may have watched before. Several years ago she became one of the first detransitioners to go public. I heard her on a podcast and it changed how I thought about trans.
We talk about that and many more topics, including:
Why so many lesbians are trans activists
My recent post about the mental health profession’s ignorance toward gays
Carol’s decision not to give talks to conservative religious groups
N3VLYNNN’s essay on the posthumous transing of Pauli Murray
Whether we can blame the patriarchy or big pharma for everything
Check it out at Carol’s new Substack! Here’s the link again.
Really good talk! May I say though, the "mental health profession" is the biggest fraud and grift of all time. I would not operate on the premise that it is legitimate. It is hardly just in the case of gays and lesbians where they have no idea what they are doing. They harm as often as they help, and overall, they only harm society with their bogus ideologies. Interesting that you say here you would like to know what exactly psychologists are taught in school. Isn't that the million dollar question! But no one ever asks it. People flock to their "therapy" sessions despite having no idea what assumptions, premises and ideologies the "professionals" are operating on. And of course the incentive to help is completely financially warped.
Secondly I can tell you about a lesbian trans activist! Where I am in Pittsburgh (funny you used Pittsburgh in your hypothetical about targeted marketing!) we have a local lesbian who has been an absolutely obsessed trans activist for many years. On her blog, Pghlesbian.com, her obsession is particularly focused on "murders of trans women." She also published on her blog multiple libelous and defamatory articles and statements made about me by my former neighbors, for which I've sent her (and them and others) a notice of intent to sue, and she fundraised off the defamatory lies to raise money for her various "LGBTQ" causes including a yard sign campaign she launched in June 2022 distributing, she says, more than 1,800 "Protect Trans Kids" yard signs around the city of Pittsburgh and environs. Her name is Sue Kerr. As you say, it is a very strange phenomenon, the women and lesbians who have glommed onto "trans". (My guess would be actually that Kerr ended up this way as a result of "help" she received from "mental health professionals" earlier in her life.)
Hope we get to chat sometime!
