"They're Nearly All Gay or Lesbian"—What This Gender Clinic Founder Learned in 50 Years
In 1975, Dr. Susan Bradley founded Toronto’s first gender clinic for children at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry. For nearly five decades, she treated over 400 gender-dysphoric children and chaired the DSM-IV Subcommittee on Gender Identity Disorders. The pattern she observed was impossible to ignore: “Even the ones who’ve gone through some of this and come out in our clinic, they’re nearly all gay or lesbian.” Now, in her eighties, she’s speaking out about what went wrong.
What’s really going on with gender—and how does it connect to wider cultural shifts? Psychotherapist Stella O’Malley, researcher Mia Hughes, and psychologist Bret Alderman explore how debates around gender, identity, psychology, and medicine open up bigger questions about culture, society, and mental health. With guests ranging from doctors and therapists to parents and detransitioners, they offer honest, thoughtful discussions—no jargon, no ideology.
