Medicine is not the answer to most problems, especially when it comes to gender dysphoria. Stella O’Malley, Irish psychotherapist and author, joins co-host Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” where she discusses her organization, Genspect, and its commitment to promote a “healthy, evidence-based approach to sex and gender.”
Hi Jack,
In the podcast, you mention that people who don’t want to hear you ramble should “get over it.” Maybe you should, in the spirit of constant improvement, say thank you for the feedback. You complain about the arrogance on the left, but this statement shows you no better.
Prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen, is linked to higher rates of gender incongruence and transgender identity, particularly in males (XY) exposed in utero. Studies, including findings from the French HHORAGES cohort, report an increased prevalence of male-to-female transgenderism (around 1.58%) among DES sons, possibly due to the endocrine-disrupting anti-androgenic impact on fetal brain development.

Key Findings on DES and Gender Dysphoria
Male-to-Female Transgender Identity: A study of 253 sons exposed to DES in utero showed a significant number of individuals identifying as transgender women. The study suggests that prenatal exposure to this xenoestrogen during crucial developmental periods affects sexual identity.
Stella’s a lovely person, so informative & forthright. She clarifies much of the transgender movement, which in the end is heartbreaking for most involved, except the greedy doctors performing the mutilations.
In our gender & race obsessed society, I begin to think about women forsaking womanhood, i.e., bearing & raising children, because of ultra-feminism or pursuit of careers. It makes me very sad in many respects.
That was an interesting interview. I only wished Stella O’Malley had addressed her own profession’s culpability in the mutilations of minors.
The American Psychological Association and, sadly, the American Association of Pediatrics still support gender affirming care for children. However, the American Association of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association have both recently rejected surgery and gender affirming care for minors. This is probably a prophylactic move they were forced to make after recent law suits have held doctors and hospitals liable for gender surgeries.
During the 1950s and ’60s some people in Ireland believed that the child victims of the Thalidomide drug had been cursed by God. Has the same old ignorance and superstition taken on the new form of gender affirming care for children?
