Sasha and Stella come together for the finale episode of Gender: a Wider Lens. They reflect on four years of sharing conversations, psychological analysis, and interviews centered around the exploration of gender identity, the evolving cultural landscape, and trans discourse.

Chloe Cole is a well-known detransitioner who has publicly expressed regret after undergoing the all-too-common medical pathway of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones (testosterone), and a pediatric mastectomy (the surgical removal of healthy breast tissue).

Dr. Stanley Goldfarb questions the wisdom of incorporating identity politics into medicine. Under his leadership, Do No Harm has brought attention to the growing influence of identity politics in healthcare today, from so-called “gender-affirming care” to DEI initiatives. The organization’s research team has highlighted the lack of credible evidence supporting gender transition in minors.

Dr. Eithan Haim is the whistleblower who exposed the child sex-change program at Texas Children's Hospital. The DOJ case against Dr. Haim was dismissed January 24, 2025. Listen to Dr. Haim's story. 

Julia Mason, MD, an outspoken pediatrician and thought leader, has played a pivotal role in shaping a more cautious and deliberate approach to caring for young people experiencing distress, including gender-related distress, through her influential work with the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM).  She outlines her experience speaking up within organized medical groups.

Stella O’Malley is an Irish psychotherapist and the head of Genspect International. Along with Sasha Ayad, LPC, she co-hosted 200 episodes of the highly acclaimed podcast Gender: A Wider Lens.  Stella describes "a perfect storm of social contagion, online influence, and cultural shifts which are fueling the surge in gender dysphoria among children."

Dr. Jordan Peterson, Canadian psychotherapist, on the Suicide Myth.  "The biggest lie in all of this was: 'Well, would you rather have a live trans child or a dead child?' "

Jamie Reed: "I Thought I Was Saving Trans Kids. Now I’m Blowing the Whistle."

Leor Sapir is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute. He has demonstrated exceptional intellectual curiosity and a commitment to open discourse on important gender issues. He has established himself as one of the premier thought leaders in the field. 

Abigail Shrier’s book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters highlights Dr. Lisa Littman’s hypothesis that the rapid increase in teenage girls experiencing gender dysphoria may be influenced by social contagion.

Dr. Colin Wright is an evolutionary biolologistical.  He points out: "Rather than being 'assigned' at birth, sex is simply recorded at birth using genitalia as a very reliable predictor of underlying gonad type. The fact that doctors, on very rare occasions, are wrong in their assessment does not therefore immediately call everyone’s sex into question."
