At one time, Andrew Lawton was struggling with mental health issues, suicidal himself. Had MAID been an option for him then, he may well have taken it. But things got better, and now he is living a happy and fulfilling life, very glad he didn't take that irreversible step. But for many Canadians, they might not have the chance to recover. Andrew Lawton is the Member of Parliament for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South. Before being elected in 2025, Andrew was a broadcaster, journalist, author, and the managing editor of True North. He is the founder of the “I Got Better” campaign and a proponent of Bill C-218, "The Right to Recover Act."Meghan Murphy speaks with Andrew about MAID in Canada, as well as a new bill proposed by the Liberal government to crack down on so-called "hate speech."The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

At one time, gay rights was simply about rights—theright to marry and to not be discriminated against in the workplace, for example. But the movement quickly went from acceptance to celebration and more. Pride became a flaunting of fetishes, nudity, and public sexuality as well as about all kinds of other identities and ideologies such as transgenderism. Has the gay rights revolution gone too far? Will there be a rolling back of gay rights as a result? In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Ronan McCrea, author of "The End of the Gay Rights Revolution: How Hubris and Overreach Threaten Gay Freedom," about these questions and more.

Arguably, the trans movement really took hold when organizations like The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) began a de-psychopathologization campaign back in 2010. This campaign was not based on “science,” but was politically motivated, and resulted in the removal of mental health protections and enabled the medical scandal we see today, wherein minors are being sterilized and mutilated on the basis they are “trans. Genspect argues that this campaign “systematically dismantled psychiatric safeguards by declaring transgender identity innate and healthy, demoting mental health professionals to facilitators in Standards of Care 7, replacing Gender Identity Disorder with Gender Dysphoria in the DSM-5 and with Gender Incongruence in the ICD-11, redefining medical transition as medically necessary, and removing age barriers in Standards of Care 8.”In response, Genspect launched a “re-psychopathologization” campaign a few months ago, calling for “recognition of transgender identification and the drive for medical transition as a pathological condition characterized by an Extreme Overvalued Belief [a rigid, non-delusional conviction, shared and reinforced within a culture or subculture, defended with passion, and experienced by the individual as entirely rational.]”Mia Hughes announced the campaign at this year’s Genspect conference in Albuquerque. I spoke with her about why “re-psychopathologization” is key to ending the scandal that is the modern trans movement, the backlash she received in response to the campaign, and why suing organizations like WPATH could help stop this medical malpractice. Mia Hughes is a writer and researcher on paediatric gender medicine, social contagion, and the intersection of trans and women’s rights. She authored The WPATH Files and co-hosts Beyond Gender with Stella O’Malley and Dr Bret Alderman.The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

The viral article, "The Great Feminization," created much debate online: did women ruin the workplace? Are they the cause of "woke"?

Earlier in November, after a months-long legal battle, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency appeared at Universal Ostrich Farms in the dead of night with snipers, slaughtering 300+ ostriches. The owners of the farm—a family—were forced to listen as their ostriches, many of whom they’d had for 30 years, were killed in an inexplicably inhumane way. The Canadian government used a supposed “H5N1 outbreak” as an excuse, but many, including the farm owners, believe something much more nefarious was afoot. I spoke with Viva Frei about the scandal.

Mary Cate Delvey has gone viral many times over on account of her videos, wherein she reveals the disturbing truth behind transgenderism through the words of "trans people" themselves. Indeed, we are always being told to "listen to trans people," so Mary Cate did. What is revealed is far from flattering (albeit often hilarious).The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

Josh Seiter confused many of us when he "came out" as a "trans woman" last year. Was he trolling or was he for real? By the time the former Bachelorette contestant revealed his troll was indeed just that, he had acquired many more fans—amused at his use of transgender ideology to reveal its own incoherence. Josh has continued to use woke logic to mock the irrationality of modern leftist politics, to the amusement of many. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Josh about the characters he has created, his aims, and the reaction to his troll.The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

1Last month, Beth Bourne went viral when she stripped down to a bikini at a Davis Joint Unified School District board meeting. She was making a point about how girls might feel having to undress in a change room with a male present, which is exactly what they face on account of gender identity policy and legislation.When Beth’s then-teenage daughter came out as “trans,” she became an activist—funneling her grief into fighting gender identity ideology in schools and beyond. She is now chair of the Yolo County chapter of Moms for Liberty. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Beth about how and why her daughter “came out,” and how she’s fighting to protect all minors from the harms of transgenderism.The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

Earlier this month, Graham Linehan stepped off the plane at Heathrow airport, met by five armed police officers who informed him that he was under arrest for tweets. Graham was a beloved Irish comedy writer, most well-known for having created Father Ted and The IT Crowd. Once he began speaking out in defense of women’s sex-based rights and spaces, everything changed. Graham was vilified across the UK, ostracized by his friends and co-workers, and threatened endlessly by trans activists. He never gave up, despite all this, and went on to publish his memoir, Tough Crowd, as well as continuing to push back against gender identity ideology.In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Graham about his arrest, Charlie Kirk, brave people, and more.If you are enjoying The Same Drugs, don't forget to click the "follow" button!The Same Drugs is on X @thesamedrugs_.

Enjoyable and interesting interview, thanks.
Great much needed discussion between two sensible and practical people.
Great interview, thanks
Interesting interview, thanks
loved this. but really surprised that at the start you didn't mention the factor of how we are socialising children from a very early age not into what they like but into skills. boys are being taught skills about spaciality etc that girls aren't. lots of studies on this. i think that's partly why the backlash to those two guys. cos it's spouting the argument that implies the whole thing is natural and inevitable and doesn't go into the 'but why?'
Great interview, thanks. It's nice to hear the context with facts.
Interesting interview, thanks.
Enjoyed the humor in such stupid times.
Good interview
Thanks for the conversation.
Excellent interview, great common sense.
Interesting chat. I cannot always follow you to the end but could today. I'm still fascinated in Meghan's growth.
Interesting interview. Nice to see you both grow, and discuss issues amicably.
Good interview. It is interesting to see Meghan's evolution over the year.
