Refactoring My Christianity

Kallie joins the podcast to discuss the book she co-authored, The Detransition Diaries. "It recounts the stories of five women and two men who felt they were born in the wrong body and believed the lie they were told by peers, teachers, and medical professionals that they could be their 'true' selves by medically and surgically altering their bodies to match the opposite sex." We touch on all the major problems of this medical pipeline these poor children get placed into, and how they never receive the care that desperately need.Kallie's Links:Find The Book Here: https://ignatius.com/the-detransition-diaries-ddp/Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/kal_fellCBC Network: https://cbc-network.org/CBC Network's Videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Cbc-networkOrg---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Support & Join Refactoring My Christianity's Community: https://adambuckingham.locals.com/Adam's Socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamjbuckinghamX: https://twitter.com/AdamJBuckingham
