The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Chloe Cole on Role of Social Media in Her Journey Into and Out of Transgenderism

“Social media introduced this idea that I could be a boy,” Chloe Cole says.  


Cole began telling her friends and family that she was a boy when she was 12 years old after she was introduced to gender-identity ideology through social media. She started taking testosterone and puberty blockers at 13 and had a double mastectomy at 15. 


At 16, she detransitioned. 


“I decided to stop transitioning entirely,” Cole says. “It was too much for me, and I knew that I couldn't keep lying to myself.”

Cole joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how she became involved in the transgender movement—and why she ultimately decided to walk away. Today, Cole is working to prevent other young people from making the same irreversible mistake she did. 


Enjoy the show.

Short Wave - How Glaciers Move

There's always a moment of intense isolation when Jessica Mejía gets dropped off on the Greenland ice sheet for a multi-week research stint. "You know you're very much alone," said Jessica, a postdoctoral researcher in glaciology at the University of Buffalo. Glaciers such as those that cover Greenland are melting due to climate change, causing sea levels to rise. That we know. But these glaciers are also moving. What we don't know is just how these two processes – melting and movement – interact and ultimately impact how quickly sea levels will rise. Jessica Mejía, a postdoctoral researcher in glaciology at the University of Buffalo, joins Short Wave's Aaron Scott to explain what it's like to live on a glacier for a month, and what her research could mean for coastal communities all over the world.

In today's episode, the author talks to Here & Now's Kalyani Saxena about how her imperfect characters make difficult choices in their search for power. Zhao draws clear comparisons between the themes of anti-imperialism and history depicted in the book to real world battles being fought today, including anti-Asian racism.

Hayek Program Podcast - Ordoliberalism For the Modern Day — Erwin Dekker & Malte Dold

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a miniseries on ordoliberalism in the modern day, hosted by Erwin Dekker. Joining Dekker for this episode is Malte Dold as they examine some distinctives of ordoliberalism, particularly on the nature of individuality and citizen sovereignty. Dekker and Dold also discuss the ordoliberal contrast with James Buchanan's work, and Dold explains why he views ordoliberalism as a school of political economy rather than simply a school of economic thought. Additionally, we'll hear how ordoliberalism plays out in the modern world and the value that it brings to analyzing groups such as the European Union.

If you like the show, please leave a 5-star review for us on Apple Podcasts and tell others about the show! We're available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and wherever else you get your podcasts.

Lost Debate - Ep 105 | TikTok Ban, Porn & Public Health, Noncompete Clauses

Ravi and Rikki kick things off with Congress’ new TikTok ban, over escalating fears that the app amounts to a “Trojan Horse” for pro-China propaganda. We look at how the app is impacting Americans before switching gears to one of the few forms of content with an even wider reach: pornography. We don’t like to talk about it – or write about it – but how is it affecting our health? Finally, the FTC wants to ban noncompete agreements in the name of workers’ rights. We discuss whether they should, and whether they can.
