In this special episode of the Do No Harm podcast, scholar Yascha Mounk explains the origins of identity politics, how it undermines free societies, and how we can fight back.

Kansas lawmaker and physician Rep. Ron Bryce shares a simple and powerful message: gender transitions for children are child abuse. He believes the procedures are unsafe, unproven, and unethical for kids—and he’s sponsoring a bill that would ban them for anyone under 18.

Two respected psychiatrists who work with transgender-identified youths are calling out the American Psychiatric Association’s latest guidance on gender ideology for what it is: a political manifesto dressed up as science.

State Rep. Ben Baker has served others in many roles, from ministry and mission work to education and public office. Now he's speaking up on behalf of concerned students, professors, and patients as a sponsor of the "Do No Harm Act," a bill that would fight back against toxic DEI in Missouri’s publicly funded higher education institutions.

Dr. Sheila Nazarian is a plastic surgeon at the top of her field, and the star of her own Netflix show called, “Skin Decision: Before and After.” In this podcast, Dr. Nazarian talks about fleeing Iran at a young age and warns others of the dangers of the DEI agenda and its connection to antisemitism.

Dr. Tabia Lee was hired to lead the DEI department at De Anza College. Within two weeks, she was called a “dirty Zionist” and “the wrong kind of black person” for trying to create an inclusive environment for everyone, including Jewish students. In 2023, Dr. Lee was fired from her tenure-track position. She’s now an advocate for removing toxic DEI initiatives from higher education.

Dr. Sheldon Rubenfeld is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. In this episode, he discusses how his long-standing elective, Healing by Killing: Medicine during the Third Reich, was canceled in the face of antisemitic backlash. Then, just two months after the October Hamas terrorist attacks, Dr. Rubenfield's scheduled lecture on antisemitism in medicine was canceled by school officials. Now, Dr. Rubenfeld is bravely confronting what most of his colleagues refuse to admit: That diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies breed antisemitism in medicine.

Lindsay Bednar is a former teacher and a mom of two young students in one of the largest school districts in Minnesota. Over the past year, Lindsay started hearing that schools in the district were pushing unwanted ideologies onto students at all levels, from elementary to high school. All of them traced back to DEI initiatives that were overstepping boundaries and breaking trust with parents. Lindsay knew she had to speak up.

While Europe pulls back from so-called “gender affirming care,” the United States keeps pushing the ideology on its citizens. Dr. Roy Eappen, an endocrinologist certified by the Royal College of Physicians of Canada, wants to know why America is moving in the wrong direction and ignoring the science. He believes the "mental and physical health of American children are now at risk.”

Dr. Kris Kaliebe, a board-certified General, Forensic, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and professor in the Psychiatry Department at the University of South Florida, joins the Do No Harm Podcast to discuss the plea for scholarly dialogue concerning so-called "gender affirming care" for youth. He has been outspoken on both gender ideology and the impact of DEI in his field. Instead of peer-reviewed research and scholarly discussion around so-called "gender affirming care" for youth, there has been little–if any–-open discussion, let alone debate. Instead, the leadership of medical organizations has become influenced by political activists insistent on presenting a single dogma: That gender-affirming care for youth is evidence-based and life-saving. But we know both to be untrue.

David L. Bernstein, founder of the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values (JILV), joins the Do No Harm podcast to discuss the rise of anti-semitism, particularly with “woke” groups on university campuses seeking to ban Jewish speakers and those who support Israel. Since the October 7 terrorist attack, the blatant antisemitism raging across college campuses has continued to increase in a clear demonization of one group in an effort to prop up another. David L. Bernstein speaks on this harmful phenomenon that has been carefully baked into the very foundation of universities for the past decade via toxic DEI initiatives that have prevented free thought and active debates.

Dr. Marilyn Singleton is joined by guest host and registered nurse Laura Morgan. Together, they discuss the recent push to indoctrinate medical professionals on DEI and so-called gender-affirming care. They are joined by three other nurses on the front lines of medicine who are speaking out against the forced exodus of medical professionals who want to focus on patient care, not social justice initiatives. They welcome guest Rebecca Wall, a Kentucky-certified registered nurse anesthetist with 40 years of experience, Clete Weigel, an Ohio nurse forced out of the profession after he refused to complete implicit bias training, and Beth Rempe, a former nurse at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C.

Dr. Elliot Kaminetzky joins hosts Dr. Stanley Goldfarb and Dr. Marilyn Singleton to discuss the harmful practice of so-called “gender-affirming care.” Dr. Elliot Kaminetzky is a clinical psychologist and the founder and director of The Center for Child Behavioral Health as well as My OCD Care. He specializes in Parenting-based interventions for mood and behavioral challenges in children. He also specializes in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other anxiety-based disorders (phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety).
