Today on the Matt Walsh Show, in the latest evidence that we are shifting the Overton window, the New York Times is now acknowledging the dangers of puberty blockers. Also, with the help of several Republicans, Democrats in the Senate now have a filibuster-proof majority to redefine marriage at the federal level. Plus, a prominent physicist claims that there are more than two human sexes. The View frets about Republicans raising the voting age to 28. I wish. And the US Men's soccer team replaces the American flag with the pride flag.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Media Matters exposes me sordid past as an obscure shock jock morning radio host. They believe that this will be the thing that finally brings me down, but that’s not going to happen. Also, Vox admits that kids are being transitioned but argues that we have to do it for their own sake. Joe Biden declares that debate over climate change “over” because of Hurricane Ian. And a mother shows up to a school board meeting dressed like a drag queen. But she’s trying to make a point, and doing it rather brilliantly I think.

Today we're bringing you an episode from our friends at The Argument about Florida's “Don't Say Gay” bill and the broader wave of anti-L.G.B.T.Q. legislation, spurred by the political right, that is spreading across the country. According to the Human Rights Campaign, this year alone, more than 300 anti-L.G.B.T.Q. bills have been introduced in state legislatures. 

Why has this issue become a major focus of the Republican Party? And how is the way society treats individuals who identify as L.G.B.T.Q. changing? Jane Coaston speaks to her Times Opinion colleagues Ross Douthat and Michelle Goldberg about these questions and brings a deeply personal perspective to the table.

Mentioned:

“How to Make Sense of the New L.G.B.T.Q. Culture War” by Ross Douthat in The New York Times

“Gender Unicorn” from Trans Student Educational Resources

In Texas, a heated political battle is taking place over care provided to young transgender people, with Gov. Greg Abbott taking a leading role.

The story of this confrontation began, improbably, with the contentious divorce of a suburban couple from Dallas, and a nasty custody battle over their daughter.

We look at how a domestic dispute precipitated one of the fiercest political clashes in the country, and return to yesterday’s story about a trans teenager, Grayson, and his mother to explore the impact of this clash.

Guests: J. David Goodman, The New York Times’s Houston bureau chief, covering Texas; and Azeen Ghorayshi, a reporter covering the intersection between sex, gender and science for The Times.

Background reading: 

• How a custody battle in the Dallas suburbs amplified a growing conservative cause and helped fuel a move to treat transgender medicine as abuse.

In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of younger Americans who identify as transgender and are seeking medical intervention to support their transition. 

This increase has coincided with laws introduced in Republican State Houses across the country that seek to block trans youth from accessing gender-affirming care. Nowhere is the political battle more polarized and heated than in Texas. 

In the first of two episodes on the situation in Texas, we explore the story of one family seeking such care for their son when the political storm hit. 

Guest: Azeen Ghorayshi, a reporter covering the intersection between sex, gender and science for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• A Texas clinic for transgender adolescents closed last year amid political pressure. Its demise is evidence of how treating trans minors has become a contentious issue in Republican-controlled states.
• Texas officials have begun investigating parents of transgender adolescents for possible child abuse, according to a recent lawsuit.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, leftists are fighting passionately to defend the profit margins of the pharmaceutical industry, even as Big Pharma uses an entire generation of children as lab rats. Also, federal officials hunt for the murderer of a dolphin, while letting the murderer of five infant children off the hook. Plus an MSNBC analyst explains why it’s a threat to free speech to allow people to say whatever they want on social media. And a Democrat candidate for congress aborted her child to save the planet. Finally in our daily cancellation, Ilhan Omar is upset because Christians were singing on a plane. We’ll talk about all of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

Just four months into 2021 and there have already been more than 80 bills, introduced in mostly Republican-controlled legislatures, that aim to restrict transgender rights, mostly in sports and medical care.

But what’s the thinking behind the laws, and why are there so many?

We look into the motivation behind the bills and analyze the impact they could have.

Guest: Dan Levin, who covers American youth for The New York Times’s National Desk.

Based on a single tweet crying transphobia, Target pulled a book from their shelves nationwide. Abigail Shrier, the author of that book, joins the show today. “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters” explores the alarming new trend of teens self-diagnosing themselves with rapid onset gender dysphoria. A condition that was relatively rare and generally only seen among young boys, has now skyrocketed in young girls. The problem wouldn’t be as profound, however, if it weren’t for the medical, scientific, and education establishment that has completely surrendered to woke activists, and now actively enable and encourage young people to irreversibly damage their bodies and compromise their futures. 

Abigail joins the show to discuss her book, the struggles she has faces with spreading her message, and if conservatives and common sense liberals can ever have unity enough to find a solution.
