Transgenderism: A Cultish Origin Story

What this episode covers

Join us for this fascinating and in-depth conversation with Melissa Dougherty on a spiritual element of the transgender movement many have overlooked. We never expected to have an episode on this topic, but after reading Chapter 5 of Melissa’s new book, Happy Lies, we realized that her perspective on this controversial issue was long overdue. Although discussions surrounding this topic have been divisive and polarizing, most have remained at a surface level, failing to examine the underlying worldview fueling this movement—namely, New Thought. What exactly is New Thought, and how is it related to modern transgender ideology? Why is there such an insistence on affirming its truth and validating new gender identities among those who adhere to this worldview?
