Beyond Gender

Stella O'Malley, Mia Hughes, Bret Alderman

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.

    Jasmin Faulk

    In this episode, Jasmin Faulk discusses being born in Saudi Arabia, growing up under gender segregation and strict rules for girls and women, and later moving to the United States. She describes the moment girls are required to be covered in public, and how. She explains the broader legal and social restrictions on women and recounts how fear of surveillance shaped daily life. She connects her experiences with concerns about censorship and ‘canceling’ in the U.S., arguing that polarized reactions create a ‘horseshoe’ cycle of fundamentalism. She emphasizes that biological sex remains crucial to women’s safety and health. The conversation also covers men’s experiences in restrictive societies. Jasmin has a memoir "The Last Sand Storm."
