“I listened to the entirety of 3 or 4 episodes about a year ago and then tried again a few weeks ago with another 2 or 3 episodes. As others have pointed out there is open sexism and transphobia. While disturbing, the mere act of saying such things is not what bothers me the most and not why I decided to leave a review.
I left the review because I was bothered by the comments and 5 star reviews celebrating the hosts willingness to say “what others won’t”.
This struck me as a bit absurd because there is no shortage of individuals willing to fill the air with fear and hatred.
I don’t know in what depths or with what nuances they have thought about or discussed these issues because as I said I have only listened to at most 7 shows. It seems hard to believe that there has been an attempt by any participants on the show to understand issues beyond their initial small mindedness.
This review will not change anyone’s mind and certainly will label me as just another idiot “libtard”. I would like to say that I’m not writing this with an agenda outside of the real pain and hurt and damage this podcast’s rhetoric causes for innocent people. It contributes to a larger body of vitriol that normalizes hate and endangers the wellbeing and sometimes even the life of individuals that are only trying to find happiness like all of us.”
