  • Summary

  • Does Transgenderism, as a personal fad and wider trend, mirror the lifecycle until adulthood? We discuss that in relation to the theme of Hannah's latest Substack article about internet culture in the 2010s. Before the dissolution of the distinction between internet culture and culture at large, the internet was a place where asocial oddballs could retreat and be siloed together, but today, as every generation moves online, a certain kind of 'reality testing' has emerged. All teenagers find relief in seeing other teens who talk about having problems because teenagehood is generally difficult, but eventually, everyone has to grow up and no longer rely on adolescent culture in order to be a normal, successful adult. Transgenderism functions as a kind of 'rebirth', renewal, and 'revelation' that extends that period of pre-adulthood, but only for so long.

    The final third of the episode discusses the folk devil of the evil mother who won’t allow a loving father access to their children. That includes conversation about lesbian childrearing, family courts support of violent fathers, the taboo around father violence, and Sammy Woodhouse’s campaign against rapists rights.
