Transgenderism, Homophobia and Self-Hatred with Calvin Lunt

On this episode of Cylinder Radio, I speak with Calvin Lunt, a young man from the UK who formerly lived as a trans-woman and has since transitioned back to living as his birth gender. Calvin shares the story of how spirituality and self-discovery helped him come to terms with himself and finally break free from the masks he wore to escape from his own self-hatred.  He shares the story of his childhood, how we slowly stepped into the world of drag and with time, started identifying as transgender. He talks about desire to keep running from himself and taking his escapism to higher and higher extremes. He then touches on his experience with transitioning and how he finally realised that he wasn’t actually a trans woman , he was a gay man. Lastly, we discuss the dangers of socially rewarding LGBTQ children, whether puberty blockers are really irreversible and if pushing transgenderism is actually an ingrained form of homophobia.   — LEARN MORE ABOUT CALVIN —  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvinlunt/  Calvin’s Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5SYWRgcEvFnO0IHw5PBLFW    — CHECK OUT MY FREEBIES — Debate To Dialogue: https://www.cylinderradio.com/debatetodialogue The Social Solution: https://www.cylinderradio.com/socialsolution   — TIMESTAMPS —  0:00 Intro 4:58 Calvin’s childhood 10:46 Introduction to Drag 13:50 Beginning to play with gender 18:24 Beginning to transition  22:38 Medical transition 24:54 The complexity of identification   27:16 The dangers of socially rewarding LGBTQ children 34:17 Puberty Blockers 39:46 Calvin’s experience with hormones 45:24 Is pushing transgenderism actually homophobic?  52:12 Outro   — LISTEN TO CYLINDER RADIO — Podcast: https://cylinderradio.libsyn.com/  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cylinder-radio/id1448662116  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ACgZ7hMoBuuC1cmc9oLoP    — SUPPORT MY WORK — My Website: https://www.cylinderradio.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/willreusch Instagram: https://instagram.com/willreusch
