ATHEIST COMMUNITY OF AUSTIN
About this episode
After a two-year evidence review initiated by Utah’s Republican governor, the data is in: gender-affirming care for youth is safe, effective, and medically justified. But instead of embracing science, lawmakers are ignoring their own study. In this episode, The Non-Prophets take apart the hypocrisy, the religious double standards, and the real human cost of denying care. When truth is inconvenient, some choose cruelty over compassion.
