About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Jacoby Ballard, a queer activist, who admits to grooming their child to identify as transgender from birth.

Jacoby Ballard is a far left queer activist. On May 2, I secretly recorded Jacoby on a call talking about “gender expansive pregnancy” where they/them told the story of how they groomed their child to believe they were trans from the time they were born. The child “came out” as trans when they were 4 years old. This is real. Find the full highlight reel of the event here, and the complete recording here .
