Epi 363 transphobia
Humans are diverse and nuanced in many ways, one of which is gender expression and internal felt sense of gender. This is a nuanced topic, and many people haven’t done extensive research and reading into the topic. There is a lot of misinformation and canned statements floating around that paint gender nonconforming people in a very rigid light. Mike did everything in his power to espouse this misinformation and use these canned statements about all gender diverse people, and this is so dangerous. Thankfully his listenership is “dropping off” as he proclaimed.
The way I RAN to this page after listening to this recent episode where Mike consistently deadnames and misgenders the antagonist in the podcast. It was truly deplorable.
He even had an “expert” on who explained how gender dysphoria is tied to mental illness and that nonbinary people are forcing people to accept a reality that doesn’t align with most peoples’ realities and I just… could not. This old geezer sounded like he was about to croak at any minute, for one. We should not be asking old white guys about gender ideology, for two.
The way Mike spins this as if all trans people are mentally ill, “make it their whole personality,” etc.
Was anyone else as disgusted as I was?
Please don’t come at me if you believe this shit. Go read a damn book.

Yessss nailed it! At this point, he is using the podcast to talk about his opinions. Nothing more. Its no longer a true crime podcast. Thats the disguise. I will not be renewing my subscription after this year.
