DeepSummary
The episode features an interview with Dennis Hannon, a father whose ex-wife secretly transitioned their 5-year-old son to live as a girl named Ruby Rose at school for 2 years without his knowledge or consent. When Hannon found out through a letter from the school, he objected in court but was framed as a bigot and lost medical authority over his son.
Despite spending $150,000 in legal fees and being court-ordered to pay his ex-wife's fees, Hannon fought for years through the court system to stop the transitioning of his son. He discovered that his son was never diagnosed with gender dysphoria, yet a therapist and doctor had planned to potentially put him on puberty blockers around age 9.
Hannon believes the motivation behind transitioning children is driven by money, politics to create a new voter base, and a systemic agenda pushed by institutions receiving federal funding tied to diversity goals. Though he lost custody, Hannon feels he ultimately saved his son from further harm.
