About Course

In this lesson, Dr Andre Van Mol speaks about contradictions between minority stress theory and ‘happily religious’ LGBTQ-identifying individuals in churches in comparison with atheist LGBTQ individuals. He goes on to discuss statistics in different types of school settings. He also discusses the power that words have and the fundamental differences between biological males and females in medicine and healthcare. He goes on to discuss differences in sex development (DSDs), and if there is a link with transgenderism there. He discusses the ‘gender’ issue, desistance, children, puberty blockers and their other uses in medicine, sterility, and sex after procedures.
