Leave the Children Alone with April Huntchinson
In this 16th episode of Unwoken, Nico speaks with April Huntchinson, a Canadian powerlifter that was suspended from competition due to her speaking out against competing against men.
Their conversation focuses on issues around gender identity, sports, and societal norms. April opens up about her traumatic childhood experience of sexual abuse and the resulting psychological impact, discussing how she wanted to become a boy to protect herself.
The dialogue then transitions into a critique of the current trends in gender identity, specifically focusing on the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports. They explore various aspects, such as steroid use, testosterone levels, and the lack of appropriate medical oversight in certain sports.
There is also a discussion about the broader cultural and political impacts of "wokeism," virtue signaling, and the socio-political divide between the left and right. Both speakers share personal experiences and observations about these issues, including April's battles against policies that allow biological males in women's sports and her advocacy for safeguarding children from irreversible medical treatments.
