The Front Line with Joe & Joe

Jennifer Lahl

Jennifer Lahl joins the Joes to talk about her book "The Detransition Diaries", which recounts the stories of five women and two men who felt they were born in the wrong body and believed the lie they were told by peers, teachers, and medical professionals that they could be their “true” selves by medically and surgically altering their bodies to match the opposite sex. Their stories describe the short- and long-term harm that so-called gender-affirmative medicine did to their mental and physical health.

A new book, "He Gave Us So Much", written by Cardinal Sarah traces the spiritual contours of Ratzinger’s life and thought, revealing the image of a man on fire with love for God and neighbor.
