Earlier this month (March, 2024), Mia Hughes, working with Michael Shellenberger's "Environmental Progress" org, published The #WPATHFiles, and inside look at the most influential trans medicine organization, whose guidelines are touted by major medical associations as the gold standard for the surgical and chemical alteration of children to suit their "gender identities." In this calmvo, we talk about just how crazy WPATH is, and what that means for children, families, and individuals caught up in "gender affirmation."

In early 2019 I began interviewing a group of young women who wished to speak about their experience with transition and detransition, launching one of my longest running series of interviews, Detrans Stories.
I've been rewatching these in the hopes of transcribing them into a book with broader reach, and have decided to repost this lightly edited interview from March 2019, featuring Helena Kerschner, who can be found at

Interesting interview and guest, thanks.
Great interview. My mum still considers herself English despite living in Canada for 50 years. Enjoy NS, we do have a beautiful province.
It's kind of a boring episode. Stella explains why and how the made the mistakes that she made. She's very defensive and doesn't seem to acknowledge the critique she's getting about Phil Illy, and I don't like how she talks about people critiquing her as a mob or something. I didn't finish listening and don't expect I ever will. Which is a bit of a pity cause I like KJK and G:aWL. I do wonder if Stella explains why she blocks so many ppl on Twitter, which seems hugely over-sensitive.
I'm not sure that I understood William Ray's comments on Dr. Strang. The College website would suggest he is more than qualified. Regardless, as a fellow Nova Scotian, good luck with the process.
Unfortunately I had to stop listening as I couldn't listen through the unfounded allegations. Yes, obviously children died, this has and will always be the case, and always more likely in undeveloped areas. However, even the relatively thorough TRC gives no credence to these allegations and, like the Satanic panic, I don't think the promotion of fantastical childhood beliefs will lead to anything useful. Certainly not the necessary justice First Nations deserve.
Interesting interview. As a contemporary lapsed Catholic/ agnostic, I am still interested in the religious orders that I believe overall provide more good than not.
Great guest and interview, thanks.
Thanks for sharing her story. And no, I did not hear anything to suggest that it should be banned
Great interview, thanks
Great interview and fabulous outcome for Anna.
Great interview, thanks
Enjoyed the interview, thanks.
Interesting interview, thanks.
Excellent conversation. Great guest, very thoughtful and sensible.
Enjoyed the interview, thanks.
Canada is definitely infected and I am baffled by this. Yes, Trudeau is an idiot and if he wins again we will be in great trouble.
I was originally prepared to say her main thesis i.e. abolition, was crazy but afterwards it makes sense. Schools are definitely broken. Much of life is broken. I have been out of school for decades but am involved in an academic setting where I often feel that leaving it, and society at large, is my best option as it is exhausting standing up to this continuous BS.
Great interview and awesome interviewee
Excellent conversation, thanks.
Fascinating guest and great interview.
