Julia Malott is a trans woman and parent who lives in Ontario, and has some of the most nuanced and philosophical thoughts on gender issues I’ve encountered.

BROADVIEW PodcastHeterodox Trans People #4: The AaronsThe Aarons—Kimberly and Terrell—are part of the Gender Dysphoria Alliance, which penned an open letter after those by GLAAD and New York Times’ contributors, which demanded censorship and control over the coverage of gender-affirming care.The GDA wants the opposite: transparency, research, open debate. You know, they want real evidence-based healthcare, and they want to be able to talk about the condition that led them to transition, and what the research shows, or doesn’t, about transitioning children. They don’t want a political philosophy in place of healthcare.Bios:Aaron Terrell tr...2023-03-031h 28
BROADVIEW PodcastHeterodox Trans People #3Happy New Year to you all! For my last post of the year, I’m sharing a conversation with one of my favorite friends that I’ve met by way of looking at gender issues from a heterodox viewpoint, Corinna Cohn. Corinna is co-host of the wonderful podcast Heterodorx, in which she speaks with people from all over the gender and ideological—and gender ideology—spectrum with co-host Nina Paley. She’s also the co-founder of GCCAN, a consumer-advocacy group for those partaking of gender care. And she’s a “disenchanted” transsexual, immune to pronouns (use whatever you like—I’m jus...2022-12-311h 16
BROADVIEW PodcastHeterodox Trans People #2In the next installment in my ongoing series of interviews of trans people with diverse viewpoints comes a therapist and trans man who goes by the pen name Stillman Cray. We’re not using his real name because he fears personal and professional repercussions. Stillman has penned a book called Being Transgender Is Not Normal: A Manifesto by a Transman, and also crafted an interesting checklist for people considering transition which I think could be really useful. See that below. Transcript coming soon, when I’m a little further along in Covid recovery. Confronting the SelfI...2022-12-141h 12

BROADVIEW PodcastAn Untenable SituationWe were going through the procedures for dealing with student records and things like that. And just immediately as if it was a totally normal thing to say, my supervisor said you might want to do a pronoun check in if you're ever concerned. And then the example she gave is: For example, if you have a girl who comes in with a short haircut, you might want to ask her, “Hey, are your pronouns still she/her?” And I'm just sitting there like.

My voice is a scar."“I still have and always will have the scars and the fact that these aren't breasts, these are silicone balls that were put under my muscle to replicate the idea of a breast. And that is very distinctly different from being a breast. And I think that trans ideology tends to conflate aesthetics with reality, and we need to decouple that because it is confusing to young people who are gravitating towards the movement. That is why a young girl could think that she could become an actual man, because we codify this language. We say top surgery instead of...2022-10-191h 10

It influenced me perhaps more than anything else I read about gender—although for several years I was too afraid to share some of what I’d learned in it.Sex, Science, Self is about the history of ideas—ideas about masculine and feminine, male and female, and whether those can be contained in chemicals synthesized within...2022-08-021h 11

ON BOYS PodcastGender Norms Limit Boys (& Girls)Gender norms still (and unnecessarily!) limit boys, says journalist Lisa Selin Davis, author of Tomboy: The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to be Different.
Which may not be an accident, since gender norms (as we know them today) were essentially created to ensure that male children grew into straight, non-homosexual men.
"The way we conceive of boys' stuff and girls' stuff in this country is really only about 100 years old," she says. "It's important for us to understand that what we think of as 'normal' for boys and 'normal' for girls is culturally and temporally dependent."
