it’s lmaoooo apparently some of y’all need a trigger warning. you might not fully agree with every podcast in these dumps. go fucking figure. - @podking
this is their response to a comment I made in the mega last week where I tagged them directly and asked why a transphobic podcast is in the pod dump and asked if there could be a warning at least if there is not vetting even though the sensible thing is to vet them for anything that would not be permitted on this site racism transphobia etc. It’s very discouraging to see them respond in such a flippant way about marginalized people’s humanity (especially without tagging me even though I directed questions at them) . Here are some titles of episodes of the BAR podcast which this site is hosting a download of in a pinned thread.
cw transphobia
lets’s do hatespeech by talking about how biological sex is a binary
historically the anatomy and physiology of people with vaginas has been neglected
defending the lgb community
those are just three titles which are bad enough, the content in the episodes are worse and nearly every episode touches on transphobia. the hosts are pretty much only notable for being “gender critics” of the “left” you can also just google them for their very public transphobic writing and other work.

I don’t even know what to say, I can’t believe someone on this site would respond to me in such a backhanded and rude way and so easily disregard transphobia as “you might not fully agree with every podcast” I didn’t know transphobia was something you agreed or disagreed with on this site.
I can understand making a mistake but they tripled down with reactionary drivel when called on it.
if this was an uncurated dump from idk apple podcasts or whatever (even if it was a category dump or something) maybe that would be less egregious but according to the list posted in the thread this is like a couple dozen podcasts at the most, so it's obviously curated in one way or another... why include the transphobic podcast?
"it's not transphobic you're just close-minded"
it's the usual garbage
They're both reactionaries in general, I don't know why anyone put them up here in the first place.
What’s the gimmick of the pod?
literally never heard of them.
The podcast isn't hosted on this site, but I'm glad you noticed this was bundled in a podcast feed that was getting posted.
The user is @podking. They have 1 Post and 35 Comments over 8 months and they're not a mod anywhere.
Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal have both promoted "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria", which is total bullshit that promotes the idea of gender identity and trans-ness as a disease. You cannot catch gender dysphoria.
I'm unsurprised no one noticed their podcast had slipped in because it flies under the radar on purpose and is marketed as a "reply all" style dirtbag left show even though it's a trojan horse for bigotry.
This has nothing to do with detransitioning and everything to do with Jesse Singal being a bigot who deserves the same shit as any other transphobe (a brick to the fucking face). The asshole is literally on GLAADs shit list lol:

It's cool Podking is doing a service for people with these other podcasts, but they need to take the Singal and Herzog podcast out immediately. It's very possible Podking didn't know this about Singal and Herzog because both of those people go out of their way to make it unclear what they're up to. They also get marketed to people who have detransitioned by "gender critical" bigots.
lmao they’re both literally gender critical bigots who weaponize detransitioning with pseudo science and push “rapid onset gender dysphoria” dogshit. Singal is even specifically named by GLAAD as being a bigot / transphobe.
https://hexbear.net/post/136897/comment/2346529 Im posting the source to make this easier for lurkers to report. Im not sure if this should be in user union or something but I hope this gets attention regardless.
Most of the internet is transphobic, so seeing any site that combats it is refreshing. Totally agree the mods do a good job of sniping the transphobes.
where people almost seem gleeful when the discussion of the wave of transphobic laws will get national with the inevitable democratic defeat
tag me the next time you see that so I can bully themmm please and thankssss :soviet-heart:
Bad thing to do to start with without giving any real reasoning or warning for it, absolutely unacceptable response to being criticised for it, hope something is done quick.
o7 bless you for being willing to talk to them, my fuse is too short these days
I really hope this is just someone who didn't know what the fuck Singal is about and then got shitty/defensive when called out on it... Singal does a lot of "just asking questions" style bigotry.
