Excellent article. Good to see the nonsense of a “gender soul” exposed. Indeed, Karvelas is very much a true believer and the irony of her denying social contagion while contributing to it so avidly would be funny if it wasn’t having such horrendous consequences on real bodies.

Imagine if detransitioned women like Courtney Coulson had been allocated more than 90 seconds airtime, particularly without the mendacious assertion that they constitute "less than 1% of all those who have been through transgender medicalisation" in a so-called piece of "investigative journalism"?

As you point out in this excellent piece, the lies and dissembling of the trans activists embedded in the ABC were made all too obvious by the use of an extremely ideological lexicon from the very outset of the program.

Thank you for another great article. Your analysis accords with my feelings about the program last night. A sham attempt to give the appearance of balance while continuing to push the same old ideology. And that Queensland Gender Clinic doctor, he just came across as creepy. My sister said that to me and she’s not very engaged with the issue. I’m not surprised to hear now that he’s an evangelical Christian who doesn’t want to address sexual orientation of the kids presenting to gender clinics. He’s clearly happy to trans the gay away - the ultimate in gay conversion therapy. I was told some years ago that one of the key psychologists at the Melbourne clinic is also an evangelical Christian who previously worked in gay conversion therapy. I don’t know if that is true, but we do know that Kai Shapley, in the States had a mother who tried to beat the gay out of him, and discovered transgenderism when she turned to Google to look for gay conversion therapy for her toddler. A bit weird that they believe that the God they believe in could make a mistake such that their soul is born into the wrong body.
