Episode 26, Featuring Simon Amaya Price

At 20, he's been cancelled by tenured faculty and administrative bullies two or three times his age, but the bullies are going to lose.

Simon Amaya Price is a musically and academically gifted young man who was raised in Boston, America’s ground zero for pediatric sex-trait medical malpractice. In a courageously public manner, Simon has been candid and outspoken about his experience with a trans identification, a phase that began for him at age 14 and lasted for three years but thankfully steered clear of medical interventions. The person Simon credits most for his protection from medical harm is his ‘non-affirming,’ highly supportive father.

I’ll leave it to Simon to tell his story, but I’ll just say that I’m delighted to have him on the podcast because he’s an extremely engaging narrator, as you’re about to hear.

This episode is the first of a series that will seek to describe the first-person experiences of some of the eye witnesses to an epic scandal. Thanks to Lisa Black of @ma4women for introducing me to Simon’s work on this issue. Wherever you live, but especially if it’s New England, you should subscribe to ma4women’s Substack.

One technical note: the front end of this recording has a few sound bugs for which I apologize. At about the 29 minute mark, these are vanquished and the sound quality improves noticeably. Stick around and you’ll be rewarded!
