But how did this place come to exist, and is it true that it will completely disappear at some point?

Learn more about the Dead Sea and how it came to be, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Daily Signal - Best of 2022: Kara Dansky on Real Agenda of ‘Transgender’ Movement

This week, are looking back at five of our, and your, favorite podcasts from 2022.


The true agenda of what has become known as the “transgender movement” is to abolish sex, according to author and self-declared feminist Kara Dansky. 


Dansky, author of the new book “The Abolition of Sex: How the ‘Transgender’ Agenda Harms Women and Girls,” not only takes issue with the objective to destroy the concept of sex, but also with the use of the term “transgender.” 


The term “transgender” was invented, but the “word has no coherent meaning whatsoever,” Dansky says, adding that “every single person on the face of the planet, all 8 billion of us, are either female or male, and that’s it.”


Dansky joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the history of the term “transgender” and what she thinks the movement’s ultimate objective might be. 


Enjoy the show!
