Kellie-Lynn Pirie transitioned to escape her trauma, and found only regret
Kellie-Lynn Pirie, formerly Kenneth Anderson, is a BC-based detransitioner and the founder of Detrans Alliance Canada. After suffering unimaginable trauma as a child, fighting addiction, and seeking escape from her sexualized female body, she decided she would be happier and better off “as a man.” After getting a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy, and going on testosterone, Kellie-Lynn began to realize she’d made a choice that would not resolve her woes, and that she now regretted. She decided to attempt to “detransition” and founded Detrans Alliance Canada to support others who had been lied to by trans ideology and its practitioners.
Meghan Murphy speaks with Kellie-Lynn about her life, her experience transitioning, and her feelings about transition now, in retrospect.
Kellie-Lynn will be speaking alongside myself, Julie Bindel, and Bryony Dixon at an event taking place on May 30th in Victoria, B.C. Get tickets at tickettailor.com.

'This is pure authoritarianism': The Online Harms Act threatens to usher in fascism in Canada
The Liberal Party’s Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) was tabled at the end of February, proposing to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to qualify online “hate speech” as discrimination. If passed, individuals would gain the ability to file anonymous complaints against other Canadians for engaging in speech they consider to be hateful on social media. If found guilty, individuals can be fined up to $50,000 or be penalized with life in prison for “hateful conduct.”
Meghan Murphy speaks with John Carpay, founder and president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), about the bill and its consequences.

'They are perfectly healthy kids' — WPATH's reckless treatment of so-called 'trans kids' revealed
Last week, leaked files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), considered the “leading global transgender healthcare body,” revealed that the clinicians who shape how so-called “gender medicine” is regulated and practiced around the world have been blatantly and knowingly ignoring medical ethics and informed consent all along.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mia Hughes, author of the WPATH Files report, published by Environmental Progress.

Do we really have free speech in Canada when we can't protest the government?
Do we really have free speech in Canada when we can't protest the government? Why isn't the media doing its job? Is Justin Trudeau going to get away with all he is continuing to do to silence dissent in Canada?
Mocha Bezirgan is a journalist from Turkey living in Alberta, who has been among the very few to cover the case of the Coutts Four, apparently imprisoned for participating in the Freedom Convoy protests at the border, in Coutts, Alberta.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mocha about the case, as two of the men have been released, though Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick remain in remand; the troubling parallels between Canada and Turkey, in terms of free speech; and the failures of mainstream media and journalists in Canada.

Julie Bindel: the OG journalist who fought trans insanity nearly alone for years
Julie Bindel is a longtime journalist and feminist who was among the first to push back against trans-identified men attempting to access women-only spaces, when she wrote an article called "Gender benders, beware" for The Guardian. Julie has been attacked, harassed, slandered, and no-platformed ever since, but she never left the fight, despite being mostly alone in her push back in the media and journalistic world for many years. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Julie about her history in the fight for women’s rights, the term “gender critical,” the debate raging about platforming autogynephiles, and the state of the fight against gender identity ideology today.

The Coddling of the American mind comes to life
We are told Gen Z is plagued with mental health problems — deathly afraid of disagreement, life, Donald Trump, one another… What is going on? Is the younger generation’s mental health crisis real? If so, is there a resolution?
You likely all read (or at least heard about) Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt’s game-changing book, “The Coddling of the American Mind.” Now the book is coming to life in documentary form. Directed by Ted Balaker, the film follows five twenty-somethings who entered college with high hopes only to be confronted with identity politics, social media hysteria, and cancel culture, leading the students to face anxiety, depression, and fear.
The Coddling of the American Mind Movie will be the first-ever "Substack presents" feature documentary—released exclusively on Substack on Feb 22.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Ted Balaker about the film, some of the stories featured in the film, and how these students managed to break free from the anxiety-inducing politics of elite, woke universities and politicized social media culture.

Rob Henderson on class, luxury beliefs, the foster care system, and what kids really need
Rob Henderson grew up poor, with a drug-addicted mother — abandoned and shuffled around for years through the foster care system. As a result of an unstable upbringing and related trauma, he struggled through school, with substance abuse, and with things like anxiety and depression, but prevailed, joining the Air Force at 17 and eventually making it to Yale University, where he studied psychology, going on to complete a Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Cambridge.
Rob made it out of his situation to lead a successful life, but most like him don't. Why? What really makes a difference between success and failure, in terms of upbringing?
Rob is the author of a new book, "Troubled: A memoir of foster care, family, and social class," within which he discusses his upbringing, the effect it had on him, and what the middle and upper classes get wrong about kids, family, class, education, "privilege," mental health, and their understanding of social ills.

Two of Justin Trudeau's political prisoners have been released — what's next?
Two of the four men who were arrested in February 2022 in Coutts, Alberta, accused of conspiracy to commit murder and mischief, have been released from prison.
On Tuesday, the Crown dismissed conspiracy to commit murder of police officers and mischief charges against Chris Lysak and Jerry Morin, reaching a plea deal with both on minor firearms charges. The charges the two men pleaded guilty to were never part of the original indictment that led to the arrests of the Coutts Four.
Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick remain in prison and will resume pre-trial hearings on February 20.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Gord Magill, who has been covering the case at Newsweek and writes on Substack at Autonomous Truck(er)s, and journalist Trish Wood, who has been covering the story on her podcast, Trish Wood is Critical, about what the release of the two prisoners means and what comes next. During our call, Olienick serendipitously calls Gord from prison, and we’re able to hear an inspiring message from one of Trudeau’s political prisoners

The Canadian government is finally being held to account for its unconstitutional response to Covid
In January, a Canadian court ruled in favour of citizens who participated in the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, determining that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional and without legal justification.
The Emergencies Act was invoked on February 14, 2022 by the Federal Cabinet in an effort to shut down the peaceful protests happening in opposition to Covid-related mandates and restrictions. As a result of this decision, hundreds of Canadians had their bank accounts frozen (among other egregious acts), including Vincent Gircys, a retired member of the Ontario Provincial Police.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Vincent about his experience at the Convoy in Ottawa, the police and government response, and Justice Mosley’s decision in response to the constitutional challenge brought forward by four plaintiffs, represented by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).

Why has America become the most dangerous place to give birth?
How did America, of all places, become the most dangerous place for a woman to give birth? Why have c-sections been on the rise in recent decades? Why do so many women have traumatic birth experiences in the hospital? How can those experiences be improved, in order for the mother to feel empowered? And why is the birthing community adopting “gender neutral” language like “chest feeding” and “birthing person” to describe something inarguably sexed?
Cynthia Overgard is a hypnobirthing instructor and host and producer of the Down To Birth podcast. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with her about all these issues and more.

Graham Linehan went from beloved TV writer to hated TERF in a moment, and it ruined his life

Climate change isn't everything
Mike Hulme is a Professor of Human Geography and head of the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on representations of climate change in history, culture, and media, and the ways in which climate change is deployed in public and political discourse.

His most-recent book, Climate Change Isn’t Everything: Liberating Climate Politics from Alarmism, addresses what he calls "climatism" — climate reductionism as ideology.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mike about wildfires, "global warming," climate change activism, policy, hysteria, and more.

Joe Allen: Don't turn your humanity over to the machine
Our world and day to day lives have changed drastically in a very short period of time. Technology has gone from an addition to our lives to our way of life — most of us can't operate without it. And most of us have gone along willingly — enthusiastically even — with this technocultural revolution. But what are the consequences of melding man with machine? What have we handed over in trusting our devices with our lives? Can we get it back?
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Joe Allen, author of Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity, about transhumanism, AI, and why we should reject technoculture in exchange for touching grass.

Mike Nayna on bullshit PhDs, viral racism, and The Reformers
Mike Nayna is an Australian filmmaker. His 2016 short, Digilante, caught viral cancel culture and race politics at a defining moment that challenged his assumptions as well as the narrative chosen by the media. Another event at Evergreen College — wherein then-professors Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying were subjected to a student-led witch hunt after objecting to a day without white people at the school — led him to James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose. Mike's most-recent project is a series of films called The Reformers, which follows the “grievance studies” hoax.

Porn is hijacking your sexuality
Pornography is now fully mainstream, accepted as a harmless, normal, expected part of men's lives. Social media, the internet, dating apps and sites like OnlyFans have incorporated porn into our lives such that it is unavoidable. Kids are exposed to porn as early as nine years old. Those who are critical of the porn industry are labelled as "sex-negative," old-fashioned, censorial, shaming, or prudish. That said, things seem to be changing as more and more men are waking up to the impact of porn on their mental health, relationships, sexualities, and lives. Men are talking to other men (and boys) about the harms of porn, opening up a new and necessary conversation.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Daniel Principe, Collective Shout’s youth advocate and educator, about his experience growing up with porn, why he stopped consuming it, and what the impact of porn has been on young people today.

Certainly, Mary believes we should be moving in an entirely different direction. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mary about her anti-futuristic vision of the future.
