Episode 250- California's New Law on Transgender Youth: Protection or Assault?

Richard Helppie's Common Bridge

Is the newly signed California law by Governor Gavin Newsom protecting children or pushing a controversial transgender agenda? In this eye-opening episode, investigative journalist and author Gerald Posner returns to the Common Bridge to unpack the complexities of the transgender ideology and its impact on minors. We confront the tribalism that often taints these debates and stress the urgency of evidence-based discussions. Dive deep as we scrutinize the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, shedding light on the intricate risks and ethical challenges involved.
Navigate through the nuanced realms of gender dysphoria, intersex conditions, and the surge in diagnoses among children. We discuss the rapid acceleration of medical treatments, the pharmaceutical industry's role, and the delicate issue of informed consent for minors. From potential misdiagnoses in children with conditions like autism to the pressures on parents influenced by fears of suicide, no stone is left unturned. Plus, the legislative implications of California's Assembly Bill 1955 and its impact on parental rights and school policies are thoroughly examined. Join us for a candid, nonpartisan exploration into one of today's most contentious issues.
