The Tudor Dixon Podcast: AOC, Newsom & Hillary’s Biggest Political Meltdowns

Gavin Newsom mentioned he wrote a book, but the speaker suggested it only covered one side of his life, omitting details about his wealthy father funding his early ventures.

He's written a book. And I think it's like the book is telling one side of his life. Like, I lived with this mom who didn't have a lot of money. Don't mention that his dad was super rich and gave him all kinds of safaris to Africa and money to start a business.

It detailed the stories of individuals who detransitioned after undergoing gender transition, exploring the factors that led to their decisions and the challenges they faced.

"

These are the real reported stories of Detransitioners, which are people and it's in this book, young people who tried to do what we would say is unthinkable, to change their gender.

And the exact line that they give them is, 'Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?' And actually, I've said that so many times now, but every time I say it, it gives me chills because it's a threat to the parents saying, if you do not comply with our ideology, your kid will kill themselves and it'll be your fault.

They removed their breasts forever, and what's so sad about this and crazy about this is they're so naive in some of these cases that some of these girls think their breasts will grow back. Like they're so lacking in informed consent that they don't have any understanding of basic human biology and think, oh, maybe they'll grow back eventually.

The reason they're not telling us these stories is because they don't fit the narrative. Every major institution in our country right now is pushing the gender ideology narrative.

These stories that I'm telling in my book deserve to be heard. These are young people who've suffered excruciating pain mentally and physically. They needed help, they were not given it, and instead, they were pushed down this path, and now that they're speaking out and saying, 'I deeply regret this.' No one cares.
