Transgender Series Part 2: Why Parents Can't Trust Mental Health Professionals Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

Unfortunately, parents can't trust mental health professionals on the issue of a transgender identity, a veteran social worker warns.

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, a social worker with decades of experience dealing with mental health professionals and vulnerable people,warns that the over-psychologizing of childhood is contributing to the rise of rapid-onset gender dysphoria and the trauma of kids mutilating their own bodies to pursue a transgender identity, rather than dealing with underlying psychological issues.

Garfield-Jaeger, who lost her job because she refused to take a COVID-19 vaccine, now runs a practice called “The Truthful Therapist,” where she helps parents navigate the potentially fraught field of mental health. Many parents struggle to navigate mental health and find themselves demonized by the very professionals who they trust to help their kids.

“I talk to parents who either are still in the thick of it, where their children are still identifying as trans, or where their child has desisted, where the time that their children felt the most distress is when they believed that their parents no longer love them or care about them or accept them because that's what the trans community and the therapists and the doctors” say, Garfield-Jaeger tells “The Daily Signal Podcast.”

Transgender Series Part 1: What Is Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria and Why Does It Matter? Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

Studies have suggested that the number of young people who identify as transgender has exploded in recent years. While activists claim that these people are just discovering a latent truth suppressed by society, some scientists have set out to question what lies behind a phenomenon they term "rapid-onset gender dysphoria."

Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has worked with Lisa Littman, a doctor who first coined the term rapid-onset gender dysphoria and laid out her hypothesis in the medical journal PLOS One. Sapir joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to break down what ROGD is, why some activist scientists have failed to disprove it, and what he and Littman have done to advance the theory.

What's Really in Senate's 370-Page 'Border Bill' Feb 06, 2024

Show notes

The Senate released the text of a 370-page spending bill Sunday that includes about $20 billion for border-related provisions and $60 billion for Ukraine.

The bill was originally intended to be a bipartisan compromise giving Democrats the Ukraine funding they have advocated for, and Republicans the border-security measure they have called for.

But border policy experts say the bill does nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigration.

Rosemary Jenks, director of government relations for the Immigration Accountability Project, and Mike Howell, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, join "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain what is, and is not, in the Senate’s bill. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

Abortion Pill Reversal Saved Her Baby Girl’s Life Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

Katelynn Perry sat in her bathtub doing Google searches on her phone. Was there a way to save her unborn baby?

She had taken the first chemical abortion pill that day and had decided she was not going to take the rest.

After visiting Planned Parenthood, Perry says, she “knew that taking that first pill was wrong,” adding, “I shouldn't have let them influence me.”

Perry already had four kids when she found out she was pregnant with her fifth child, and given the financial struggles she and her husband were facing, she had decided to visit Planned Parenthood to discuss her options.

“When I tried to ask questions, they were kind of shot down. They weren't really answered in full,” Perry said of her trip to the clinic. “They used a lot of medical terms that I didn't understand.”

After taking the first abortion pill at Planned Parenthood, Perry was instructed to go to her local pharmacy to pick up the other pills to complete the abortion, but she decided she wouldn't do that.

Her Google searches led Perry to Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Rescue Network website.

She called the number and spoke to a nurse who told her it was possible that her baby was still alive and could be saved. The nurse connected Perry with a pregnancy resource center about an hour away in Lynchburg, Virginia. When she arrived, the first step was an ultrasound to see whether the baby was still alive.

“We do the ultrasound; she still has a heartbeat,” Perry said of her baby. The medical staff at the pro-life center explained to Perry how the abortion pill reversal works through a 12-week hormone therapy.

Today, Perry’s baby girl, Aubrey, is just over a year old, healthy and “the sweetest little girl you would ever meet,” her mother says.

Perry joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share her story and inform other women that the abortion-reversal pill can save the life of the unborn.

Show notes

As students across the United States struggle to master basic reading and math skills coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, some schools are dedicating the first week of February to "Black Lives Matter at School" in a "Week of Action."

Tina Descovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, urges parents to see whether their school district is engaging in that program and to speak out against it if it is.

"I think most Americans are starting to tune in and understand that we are in a crisis in America in public education," Descovich tells Tyler O'Neil on "The Daily Signal Podcast."
