What a great “aha” moment, to frame binders as a medical intervention. Imagine if school officials were doing scoliosis exams and then fitting children with a body brace— without parents knowing, without a physician involved. “It doesn’t break the skin; it doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier, it’s just like a band-aid applied to a cut,” schools might argue. But to apply external force /pressure to a growing body in ways that forever change the structure of tissue and bones? And to do this without proper informed consent, since there are risks of permanent damage? Of course this is “medical intervention.” And it must stop. Anyone who gives a binder to a girl must understand that they are actively engaged in causing permanent physical body modification.
The US Supreme Court just blew up the entire project of administrative policy capture this week with their decision reversing Chevron. We shall fight until we win.
Btw have you made an episode about rising up genderless kid? You know, that kind of progressive family that doesn’t reveal their kid’s gender to the world, because the kid will choose their gender once the kid is ready
Yes they have. It’s an interview with a mom who raised her boys that way and then realized what a mistake it was. I forget which episode. Maybe it’s called a Conversation with Rose? I might be wrong.
I knew a millennial lesbian midwife mom who named her male child “hazel” and used no pronouns… dressed him in femme clothing… cutting-edge woke parenting… it gave me pause, I wondered why on earth the effort would be made to purposely confuse everyone about his sex. I guess that boy would be around 12 now…? So curious what became of him.
