Summary

For years, Teva Johnstone has been dedicated to her career of helping children through child therapy and social work. But when she saw her peers committing what she believed to be unethical malpractice by affirming gender dysphoria in children and, in some cases, encouraging medical transition, not even her lifelong liberalism could keep her from voting conservative for the first time ever. Now, she’s on a mission to help parents feel empowered by reminding them that they have agency over their children!

In this episode, Alex and Teva discuss how child therapy has morphed into activism, why children with autism are more susceptible to believing they're trans, and why it's important that parents of autistic children be staunch supporters of free speech and intellectual autonomy.
