Episode Details

Luis and Psychologist Mackenzie Steiner dive deep into their own truths about minors surgically transitioning, who *actually* is trans, de-transition rates, how dysmorphia shows up in the brain, gender dysphoria, and gender affirming care options for children. 

They share wisdom and stories from their own individual experiences with body dysmorphia, and how they navigated the experience. Each opted for surgery as adults. The real gold is their respectful disagreement on if kids should be given gender affirming surgical procedures. In the end each still holds their same beliefs, but with a deeper understanding of why the other holds their opposing belief.
