Meghan Murphy is a freelance writer and journalist, as well as the of founder Feminist Current and host of The Same Drugs podcast. Meghan was thrust in to the spotlight after getting kicked off Twitter in 2018 for using male pronouns to describe a man. Her work addresses a wide range of topics including free speech, pop culture, politics, and various underrepresented issues. In this episode Meghan and I get into the obstacles of not fitting in to the confines of the modern feminist collective and ‘wave feminism,’ taking up the task of combating insular conversations, and weighing the financial and social risks of speaking out. We also discuss some of the factors putting mainstream feminism in a tough spot as well as accepting some hard truths about men consuming women as an industry. Meghan also shares how she maintains her emotional hygiene to stay strong, centered, and even happy in order to sustainably continue her work.

For Charlie, it all started at age five, jealous of boys, because they got to take their shirts off and stand to pee. By age seven, she had a therapist who told her and her parents that this was symptomatic of something called gender dysphoria. Ecstatic that she would get to ‘be a boy,’ Charlie was ushered down the medical path, with her vital records and name altered at age nine, and later put on puberty blockers and wrong sex hormones. Her family asked her if she was sure she wanted all of this. Her response? “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my entire life.” All twelve years of life experience couldn’t have prepared her for the changes testosterone would bring. At age fifteen, she had started to wonder if the path she was on would prevent her from ever getting married or having a family. It wasn’t until encountering a Reddit thread about complications of testosterone such as bone and heart disease and dementia that it occurred to her that her doctors had never told her that these "life-saving treatments" would have long term negative effects on her health. The process of coming out a second time, this time as a lesbian woman ready to detransition, was even harder than the first time. After telling herself the story for so long that she’d take her own life if she ever got her period, she developed an eating disorder, to keep delaying womanhood even without testosterone. Now nineteen, Charlie has found peace in her body and within her circle of family and friends, but she wants to challenge people to consider what would have happened if her childhood therapist had recognized her anxiety and depression instead of entertaining the ludicrous concept of being stuck in the wrong body.

**Any views, thoughts, and opinions expressed by the guest are solely that of the guest and do not reflect the views, opinions, policies, or position of Isabella Malbin or Whose Body Is It, LLC. ** Today I speak with my friend Kate Rose, who has been involved in a defamation lawsuit for the past 4 years. Weeks away from trial, Kate is ready to break her silence about the Plaintiff in the case, Danny Gallagher. Kate’s story begins in 2017, when she was a self-described “liberal-baby doula” and joined numerous online forums to grow her birth work business. Shortly thereafter, Danny Gallagher joined multiple birth-focused groups, too. Armed with a tragic story, he gained sympathy in these otherwise women-only spaces. Soon though, he was dominating the groups with posts and advice, advertising opportunities to make as much as $5k per month with hardly any effort. Kate reached out, but soon found out the “big opportunity” was porn. Before long, it became clear Danny’s recruitment efforts were not limited to Kate, and he was booted from multiple doula and mother’s facebook groups. When women tried to share information about Gallagher’s actions, he retaliated. Gallagher has since sued over 20 women, mostly low-income birth workers and mothers, claiming $5 million in damages apiece for defamation. Kate explains why defamation cases are the perfect way to maintain contact with victims of abuse and prevent them from speaking out. We get into DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) tactics and how individuals can exploit the legal system to tie women up in prolonged court cases.
