After years of institutional groupthink and policy whiplash, what have we actually learned—and what are we still not allowed to ask? Lisa Selin Davis returns to discuss the evidence (and non-evidence) around youth gender medicine, talk about the ongoing taboo and confusion around AGP (autogynephilia), and consider how to hold two truths at once: some people report thriving post-transition while others were clearly harmed.

In this episode, we discuss / talk about:

  • How “don’t question it” became a default and why that stalled real inquiry

  • What the evidence actually says (and doesn’t) about pediatric interventions

  • Thriving vs. harm: talking about real outcomes without slogans

  • Gender clinics closing under political pressure—who might be quietly relieved, and why

  • AGP: why it’s still taboo and how that affects research and discourse

  • The NFL cheerleader controversy and what it revealed about intellectual consistency

  • “Stopping” vs. “ending”: Lisa’s framework for irreversible choices and life after medicalization

About the guest Lisa Selin Davis is the author of two novels and two nonfiction books, with a forthcoming book on the culture of trans kids and gender identity. She writes the Substack BROADview.
