Famous transsexual Buck Angel was kind enough to grace my stage and lay down the truth about his experience of being trans, and trans ideology. The former porn star was born a woman, and now identifies as a man despite not having bottom surgery. Yet, he has a surprising view on trans ideology, and criticises both sides for their lack of nuance in tackling what he calls gender dysphoria. Buck regularly interview people who detrans. That is, they try to turn back the process...here are his concerns.

Every mom's worst nightmare: Rani Singh is a BBC reporter and former actress who found that both her sons - in their 30s - had left her for a cult known as the Lighthouse International. A BBC documentary is being released at the same time as this episode to shed light on the cult, which has been ruining the lives of countless individuals who signed up. Rani's sons have now disowned her, refused to call her mum, and are in the thrall of Paul Waugh, the head of Lighthouse International. Her sons Jairaj and Sukhraj Singh have coerced her into giving them her life savings and remortgaging the family home to pay Paul Waugh for sessions. We talk about the similarities between the cult and Tom Cruise's Scientology, and ask Jairaj and Sukhraj Singh one thing: come home to speak to your mum.
