I recently joined a platform to help me find more guests for my podcast, called Podmatch. One of the first people to approach me on there was this woman, who claims to be an expert in DEI but fails to understand what a trans widow is and hasn't considered the impact of trans ideology on children, women's sports or women's rights. 
At one point she compared double mastectomies to liposuction. 
Dr V has subsequently deleted her Podmatch account and it is highly likely that she joined for the sole purpose of being my guest..... 
This episode is not to be missed.
