Last month, the Gimlet science podcast Science Vs, which is also a Spotify show like Rogan's, released an episode that debunks considerable COVID vaccine misinformation floating throughout “Joe Rogan: The Malone Interview.”
This month, Science Vs is back, this time examining what the science podcast considers to be misinformation about trans kids. Science Vs mentions Rogan because he's dedicated multiple episodes to trans kids, and, according to Science Vs, has promoted misinformation about this complex issue.
The topics that the episode reviews include:
- Are more kids coming out as transsexual? (Is it a fad?)
- Are the medical treatments for trans kids dangerous?
- Do trans folks have an advantage when it comes to sports?
During the episode, Science Vs talked to Florence Ashley, Dr. Jack Turban, and Joanna Harper to find out more.
