Episode 71: Adult Human Weirdos

Posted on by Nina

Corinna and Nina spontaneously sing the Heterodorx jingle, hoping British listeners will not hear “ducks” in “heterodox.” There’s plenty of exciting news from TERF Island, but nothing tops the American story of a transsexual podcaster pursuing Dave Chappelle in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Nina pitches a commercially viable rom-com, Corinna fishes for a live show invitation, and both recall an unusually festive event from 2019. Did we mention the new Heterodorx T-shirt? Yes, we did, including the touching story of its origin.

Episode 70: Virtual Late-Night Dorm Room with Lev Polyakov

Posted on by Nina

Russian-American animator Lev Polyakov hosts and produces the Break The Rules podcast, which brings together extremely diverse viewpoints from the online testosteronosphere. A thoughtful, well-spoken, and generous conversationalist, Lev can talk to anyone – even the Dorx. After discussing such serious topics as the war in Ukraine, America’s military-industrial-propaganda complex, and “counter-semitism,” Lev moves on to the Estrogen experience (Corinna’s and Nina’s differ greatly), alchemy, waking dreams, trippy psychedelic meditation stuff, his vibrating Third Eye, generating 3-D movies inside his head, Torah, and the New York animation scene of 2004. Break the rules and pass the bong*!

*None of us actually use weed, as far as I know.

Episode 69: Fediverse Follies with Alex Gleason

Posted on by Nina

Where do you go when you get banned by fecebook and twitter – or, conversely, when you think mainstream social media isn’t censoring enough? To the Fediverse, where free-speech refugees and would-be Orwellian dictators form ever-more polarized online communities. Returning Heterodork Alex Gleason, who created the popular Soapbox platform, relates some recent behind-the-scenes Fedi drama. The same tribal politics skewing mainstream social media, guide Fedi developers as well – but with less money! This makes the Fediverse the worst social media system, except for all the others. (Which are so much worse you really should join the Fedi.)

Episode 68: Maud Maron, TERF for Congress

Posted on by Nina


A defense lawyer and Democrat who knows what a woman is, Maud Maron is running for Congress in New York’s 10th District. She discusses Title 9, woke fragility, getting canceled by other Democrats, trans narratives pushed on teenagers, TERF Island, illiberalism on the Left, pronouns, Truscum fallacies, TERFs, men in women’s sports, TERFing, language, TERF, guns, TERFs, abortion, TERF, COVID, TERFs, and all things TERFy. Did we mention she’s a TERF? Nina almost regrets moving away from NYC’s West Village 10 years ago. Maron may be a little ahead of her time, but might (hopefully?) signal political changes to come.

Episode 67: An Education on Education with Dr. Lyell Asher

Posted on by Nina

First, please listen to Dr. Lyell Asher’s video, Why Colleges Are Becoming Cults. Then come back to hear more about the low quality of ed schools, the supply of racism not meeting demand, how supporting free speech is an “employment killer”, cowardly Boards of Directors, tenure, race as a distraction from class, administrative bloat, and grade inflation. Plus, Nina reveals her plans to kill trans people by inviting them on long bike rides when they’re out of shape, and Corinna wishes there were more Marxists.

Episode 66: Truscum Talk with Evie

Posted on by Nina

Evie, a pseudonymous transsexual, claims True Transsexuality is a physiological condition akin to intersex, arguing childhood medical transition is a corrective for “prenatal hormone exposure, abnormal androgen receptors and physiological brain differences”. The Dorx may not agree, but have a productive and interesting conversation as Evie refreshingly backs up arguments with evidence (of varying validity) instead trying to weasel out with postmodern doublespeak. There should be more conversations like this.

Episode 65: Gods, GITs, and Religion with Colette Colfer

Posted on by Nina

Colette Colfer, lecturer in Religious Studies at SETU, discusses some religious aspects of Gender Identity Theory (GIT), including faith in the unprovable; hierarchical community; holy days, festivals, and symbols; heresy and blasphemy; and a a way to be born again. But there are also differences, notably the absence of God. Nina attempts to explain this with a theory of “distributed God”, while Corinna describes gender apostasy. Are we getting less religious? What is the difference between a religion and a cult? What is Reality? Hear answers, and more questions, in Colfer’s delightful Irish accent (and the Dorx’s unexceptional American ones).

Episode 64: Cathy Brennan Doesn’t Care What You Think

Posted on by Nina

But if you care what she thinks, listen to this lesbian, radical feminist, lawyer, and Fake Goth hold forth about Tumblr, putting gender identity above sex in the law, the distraction of public bathroom policies, Republican lesbians, “queer” as a reclaimed slur, the civil rights of trans people, why “ROGD moms are bad moms”, and how gender criticals are stupid, boring, annoying, too reactive, care too much about identities, and should shut the fuck up. Enhanced with more swears than usual, this singular episode offers something to alienate everyone!

Episode 63: Ask an Endocrinologist! with Dr. William Malone

Posted on by Nina

Why do people without gonads (or their function) need hormone replacement? How exactly do hormones affect bone health? Should clinicians who prescribe puberty blockers have more than 3 hours of training? How did historical eunuchs get by without exogenous hormones? Are gonads the human body’s only source of sex steroids? How does a detransitioner or disenchanted transsexual find a decent endocrinologist? Does Nina have superior tendon insertion points? Was Corinna’s first endocrinologist inappropriately handsy? Dr. Will Malone, MD, generously and meticulously answers these questions and more on this much-anticipated episode!
