Desexing Society is the first podcast to critically examine the youth gender dysphoria epidemic in Australia.

Over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of young people around the world have started identifying as transgender. Healthcare professionals working with gender dysphoric children and adolescents have adopted a controversial treatment model known as “gender affirming care.” It involves agreeing with the patient that they’re meant to be the opposite sex. Medical interventions attempting to change a child’s sex begin at the onset of puberty, which for girls can be as early as 9 years old. Can doctors really predict which children are going to be transsexual in adulthood?

In this 8-part series, we’ll explore the origins of gender affirming care, how it became embedded in Australia’s public health system and the tragic consequences of misdiagnosis. We’ll also look at how public schools are contributing to the youth gender dysphoria epidemic, and more.
