On October 1, the first 3 episodes of my new documentary podcast series Transgression - My search for the REAL trans agenda in Saskatchewan comes out. Please have a listen to the trailer and follow the show for fresh downloads.

Since 2023 the Premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe, and his government have set their sights on the trans community, specifically trans youth . With the creation of the controversial Bill 137 and Moe’s comments during the last provincial election, I had questions. So as a white, cisgendered, straight man, I wanted to find out what the trans agenda in Saskatchewan really is.

During my search of over six months, I interviewed queer, religious and 2 spirited leaders, mental health and legal experts, health care providers, teachers, politicians, parents, and trans adults and youth. In each episode I share some of these conversations regarding specific issues for trans people in Saskatchewan. You may be surprised to hear what I discovered and what I feel is the real trans agenda in Saskatchewan.

To support this project and others like it please consider making a donation HERE. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

Part 1/2

Amy shares her harrowing journey through an abusive marriage, detailing the manipulation and control she experienced from her ex-husband, who was later revealed to be a serial rapist. We discuss the complexities of recognizing red flags, and the emotional turmoil of confronting the truth about a loved one's abusive behaviour, the the impact of trauma, the emotional toll on victims, and the challenges faced in the pursuit of justice. The conversation highlights the importance of victim support and the shared experiences among survivors. You won’t believe who some of her husband’s victims were. How did Amy find out? Was justice served? Has Amy rebuilt her identity after such devastating trauma?

This episode was originally released on March 3 2024
In March of 2022 Jenn’s son Jordan took his own life after being catfished online and sextorted. Sextortion, or sexual extortion, occurs when an online actor threatens to release a victim's intimate photos or videos for financial gain. These people tend to target youth between the ages of 14 and 24. In Jordan’s case his culprits were caught, but very few are. Almost always, the guilty party is overseas. There have been multiple teens taking their lives in very similar situations as Jordan’s in Canada and the US. What should young people know about the dangers of sextortion? What can we do as parents? And what are social media outlets doing about it?
TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE INCLUDE suicide, trauma, grief, sex
