Intersex advocacy and the fight for bodily autonomy with Pidgeon Pagonis
Growing up, Pidgeon Pagonis was told a lot about their medical history: They were born with cancerous ovaries, so the doctors removed them to save their life.
Except that wasn't true. In reality, they were born intersex. And those were not cancerous ovaries, they were undescended testes. And that was just the beginning of many truths coming out.
Hear their story of discovery, and how they played a massive role in getting the hospital where they were born to reverse their policies on how they treat intersex children.

Back in the day - with your Walter Cronkites and David Brinkleys - it felt kind of inappropriate for an interviewer to bring their full selves to the conversation. It was all about the guest, after all, so why bother bringing their own distinctive flairs? But now, people tune in as much for the interviewer as the one being interviewed. And because of that, the experience feels much more authent...

    We use such community online from regretfulparents at Reddit, for evidence of mgtow, a correct philosophy for men that governments banned. For example, imagine being the husband to a wife who after a baby, has: PTSD; PPD; her brains "changes" as men have described; thinks she can do better dating (as a single mom?), etc. Glad women themselves are coming apart at the seams. The more the environment cannot hold itself together, the more men will have avenues to question from, the very nature of male disposability society and women intend for them on their own insane journeys.

    The one thing that I am finding in regards to studying the history of slavery in the North East America is Bristol and New Haven, CT. The DeWolf Jewish family of Bristol, are documented as the biggest slave trading family in the history of the United States. Levi DeWolf is documented as the an enslaver of African Hebrews in America in the 16th century in Bristol and his family invented the Trans- Atlantic triangle.

    Obviously they aren't going to talk about it and i respect it... But i still want them to talk about it. I thought they were both fame hungry enough to do a full apology tour, and maybe that "family night" cookbook might be when that happens, but i think for the sake of their kids it's really best to keep that off the Internet. I would not want my parents dirty laundry out for everyone to gawk at. ALSO! Lots of couples go through infidelity. Ned's a scumbag, yeah, but he's not the first person to be unfaithful.
