Queer Politics Means More Sexual State | Joy Pullman on the Dr. J Show

Queer identity politics seems to have almost a contempt for the American way of settling disputes and resolving issues. The problem compounds when bureaucrats adopt the ideology of queer identity politics. The power of the state then gets co-opted into sustaining the twisted fantasies of the sexual revolution - without actually solving any of the problems. Joy Pullmann, editor at the Federalist, joins Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse to discuss her new book: False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End ...

God Does Not Hate Gays | Janet Smith on the Dr. J Show

Kids Can't Consent to Experimental, Life-changing Surgery | Dr. Jill Simons

As the WPATH files and Cass Report reveal, even the doctors and scientists can't fully explain the short term and long term consequences of gender "affirming" surgeries and wrong-sex hormones. How on earth can a mentally distressed minor or their troubled parent consent to that type of surgery? Makes the threat of suicide seem much more like blackmail than life-saving care. Dr. Jill Simons examines how the American College of Pediatricians is actually following the science and ethical principles...

Doctors Protecting Children | Dr. Jill Simons of the American College of Pediatricians

Far too often, the medical boards tend to gravitate towards what makes the most money or what is politically expedient, and that presents a problem for the members they represent, and the patients whose interests they are supposed to look after. Dr. Jill Simons is the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians which was formed precisely because the American Academy of Pediatrics started down the path of what was politically expedient. Dr. Jill Simons is a Board-Certified Pediatr...

Getting Out of the Transgender Cult | Maria Keffler on the Dr. J Show

Once Maria started getting involved in the school system in Arlington, VA she tried to hear the other side of the story. She would invite pro-transgender parents out to coffee, or just try to ask them questions and really get a better sense of what they were going through and what was gong on. But they all refused. They'd say things like, "Oh, I know who you are" and not even give her the time of day. That piqued her interest because usually if you offer an olive branch to someone, they'll take ...

Children's Needs Before Adult Desires | Katy Faust on the Dr. J Show Episode 248

“God’s design for sex and marriage is Plan A for child protection. If you deviate from God’s design for sex and marriage in any way, whether it’s softening prohibitions on premarital sex or adultery, or same sex marriage, or whatever it is, what you’re really saying is, ‘I prefer my social acceptance above child protection.” People will say, ‘I don’t support gay marriage, but it feels really mean to say that.’ And I’m like, it’s not mean. I will tell you exactly how to say this so you can say, ‘...

Children's Needs Before Adult Desires | Katy Faust on the Dr. J Show

Being the head of a global pro-children’s movement wasn’t Katy Faust’s main goal, it wasn’t even secondary. What she did want to do was to speak out when the gay lobby started lying about kids and their needs. So she started blogging anonymously on askthebigot.com. But before too long, she got doxxed. Since that point, Katy has been a public and outspoken defender of children’s rights. Katy Faust is Founder and President of Them Before Us, a global movement defending children’s right to their mo...

At the Core of Same-Sex Attraction is a Longing to Know Yourself | Christie May Jesse on Dr. J

The discussion of gay Christian versus straight Christian leaves out a very important realization: the life and blessings God has for us when we let him heal us. Having been a gay Christian before completely giving her life to Christ, Christie May Jesse understands the struggle. “At the core of same-sex attraction, lies a longing to know oneself, to belong,” she explains, but what they’re doing is refusing to give up a part of themselves to God. They’re choosing to hold onto their struggles beca...

Man Hating Lesbian to Christian? Christie May Jesse on the Dr. J Show

In the 1980’s, Christie went to Stanford as a man-hating, open lesbian. Her rowing coach was an avowed Christian, and a conflict was pretty much inevitable. Christie decided that she would only provoke her coach a little and jokingly asked if she knew of any good bible study groups. Her coach cheerfully obliged. When she knocked on the door for the study group, she was met by another girl who asked her, “Are you a man hater like the rest of us?” That question set Christie on a year’s long quest ...

Kids Don't Deserve To Be Sexualized | Kathleen Benfield on the Dr. J Show, ep 246

Olympic Women's Boxing Fiasco | Ruth Reacts

The IOC and big tech can't suppress what we all know to be true. A man is defined by his chromosomes, not his DSD. Imane Khelif, for whatever else he might be, isn't a woman, and doesn't deserve applause for being allowed to beat up actual women. Dr. Morse explains six things we have learned from this fiasco.

Fact Is, You Can Change Your LGBT Identity | James Parker Part 2, Dr. J Show Ep. 245

James Parker often says that it is hard for the alcoholic to hear that there is a way out of alcoholism, or that It is hard for the drug addict to hear that there is a way out of narcotics.

I Was Born Gay - Until I Learned I Wasn't | James Parker on the Dr. J Show Ep. 244

If you had asked James whether or not he was born gay, he would have told you that he was. He would have told you that all the way up until 2019. After all, that was how he experienced sexual attraction from the time he was he was 14. He also decided to come out, during secondary school, not to everyone, but to a smaller group. He continued into his years at University proclaiming his same-sex attraction. As this began for him in the 1980’s, it was a difficult thing, but he was loud and proud, e...

Dr. J Show - From Abuse Victim, to Lesbian, to Redemption: Nancy Charles Shares her Story

Nancy carried a grudge against her parents for years. They didn't help her or take her to therapy. They didn't accept her as a part of the family. To boot, they got divorced. And as far back as when she was 6 she felt like she didn't fit in, almost anywhere. To top it all off, she could recall having her first same sex attraction to her teacher in the 3rd grade. For years she identified as a lesbian and lived that lifestyle, until she came to a realization about all of these issues with her own ...

Indicted For Protecting Children | Eithan Haim's Lawyer, Marcella Burke on the Dr. J Show

Eithan Haim is a mandatory reporter of child abuse. After Texas prohibited transgender "affirming" surgeries on minors, Texas Children's Hospital continued to conduct them. When Dr. Haim found out, he realized that it was far more important to blow the whistle and let the world know what was happening, than to let it continue to happen in silence. Instead of being protected for doing the right thing, the sexual revolutionaries at the Biden DOJ decided that they needed protect transgender ideolog...
