Your Therapist Needs Therapy 60 - The Moral Panic Playbook with Special Guest Chrissy Stroop
Jeremy is joined this week by journalist Chrissy Stroop to look at the manufactured moral panic targeting trans people. Jeremy and Chrissy discuss her personal experiences with religious trauma, the intertwining of evangelical Christianity with right-wing politics, and the predictable pattern of moral panics. Chrissy highlights the long-term strategies of the religious right in shaping education and politics to further their agenda. Jeremy and Chrissy also talk about Project 2025, the right-wing agenda for a potential return to the White House. Make sure to get informed at vote.org and vote the bigots out!
