About this episode

Mary Margaret Olohan is a senior reporter covering culture and politics for The Daily Signal and a veteran of The Daily Caller and The Daily Wire, where she broke the Riley Gaines story. She has interviewed major political figures including the vice president of the United States and many members of the U.S. Congress, but her reporting has focused on the protection of children's innocence, on giving a voice to women whose private spaces are compromised by the presence of biological males, and on #METOO allegations against prominent figures. She is a graduate of The Catholic University of America, and the proud eldest daughter of an Irish Catholic family of eleven children.


About "DeTrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult:"

Trans activists are all about speaking up—unless you regret your “transition” and have made the journey back. If you question gender ideology, you’d better keep your mouth shut. But a compelling new book features multiple interviews with detransitioners and gives a voice to young people who were caught up in this damaging ideology. And their testimony—including from the lawsuits they have filed against the gender-affirming medical and therapeutic professionals who treated them—is unforgettable. "Gay Pride Month" every June has become an unquestioning celebration not just of Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals, but also of Transitioning. Detransitioners' experience reveals that there's more complexity and pain involved in that category than most people will ever guess.


The number of teens and pre-teens persuaded they were born with the wrong body has exploded. Goaded by a toxic online “community” and assisted by teachers, doctors, and even their own parents, they are promptly set on the path of puberty-blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gruesome “gender-affirming” surgeries.


Media and activists insist that “transitioning” is the happy ending to these stories. But countless young people bear terrible emotional and physical scars. Adding to their anguish, the transgender community that once embraced them now wants to keep them quiet.


Now one fearless reporter, Mary Margaret Olohan, shares their stories. Based on in-depth personal interviews, Detrans exposes the unconscionable abuse these detransitioners have endured—manipulative therapy sessions, mental and emotional anguish, botched surgeries, and attempts to construct phantom body parts. Their testimonies reveal a truth so disturbing that transgender activists will do anything to hide it.


Detrans is indispensable evidence of the life-shattering power of gender ideology.
