New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 127: Taking Action with Ellen Daehnick https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-127-taking-action-with-ellen-daehnick/
When Things need to get done, it’s people like Ellen Daehnick who do them. Daehnick recently retired from her high-powered career to become a full-time “Unpaid Gender Crank”, focusing on legislation. She describes her first time testifying to the Colorado state legislature against CO House Bill 1071, which welcomes felons to change their legal names as long as they claim a trans identity. (More of this remarkable hearing, described as “bananas” by audio editor Lisa Jones, can be found at https://www.thatlisajones.com/new-kinda-colorado-crazy/ ). We discuss how to prepare for effective testimony, why female politicians support policies that harm women, selective empathy, toxic femininity, class, chiggers, and appeals to emotion vs facts. “Deadnaming,” “misgendering” and “mentioning the criminal record of an individual” may be verboten in the Colorado Statehouse, but the real genocide is the friends we made along the way.
