Summary

Armstrong & Getty discuss a Bay Area case involving a transgender individual who simulated pregnancy, infiltrated grief support groups for bereaved mothers, and allegedly influenced their young child's gender presentation. The hosts express outrage over the removal of actual bereaved mothers from support groups to accommodate this individual's behavior.

Insights
  • Online moderation of support groups may lack accountability when prioritizing inclusivity over member safety and authenticity of shared experiences
  • Extreme cases can polarize discourse and make nuanced discussion of transgender issues difficult in public forums
  • Social media platforms previously enforced content moderation that prevented discussion of controversial cases, limiting public awareness
  • Parental influence on children's gender expression raises questions about consent and child welfare in family contexts
Trends
Increased tension between inclusivity policies and protection of vulnerable populations in online support communitiesSocial media content moderation creating information asymmetries around controversial social issuesGrowing public skepticism about institutional responses to extreme cases within marginalized communitiesPolarization of gender identity discourse preventing mainstream discussion of edge cases and safeguarding concerns

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human. I believe this is their king. It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty. One more thing. As we survey the landscape of the gender bending mad, we have found the champion. Gabrielle, quote unquote, Daron is this fella, who I'm, it's a picture I'm looking at. Names Gabriel. Oh, yeah, he's a dude, but he likes to masquerade as a woman in the manner that is known as transgenderism in today's role. We talked about this at the end of the radio show. If you're just tag teaming on and continuing on to the one more thing podcast, we're going to reset it briefly, then include a bit more information. This fella, Gabrielle Daron, spent nine months simulating pregnancy, including feigned morning sickness and the wearing of a fake belly with the intention of play acting the loss of his imaginary baby, which is a sickness and a mental twist. So horrific. I don't want to dwell on it. Yeah, it's almost separate. It's the whole, you want people to feel bad for you sympathy thing. Munchhausen syndrome, although with a particular bizarre transgender twist, because he knows he can't have a live baby, obviously. He also joined a support group for grieving mothers who had lost children, seeking indeed demanding validation and support for his planned, quote, unquote, stillbirth. You know, I hate trigger warnings. I think they're stupid, but maybe we should have had one for this one, for folks who've endured this, the unimaginable sadness, grief, tragedy of losing a child. Anyway, he went so far as to rent a machine that simulated contractions and bought a plastic baby, which he inserted into his rectum and then, quote, gave birth to. OK, you got to slow down a little. That's what he said is somebody put the baby up. Right. What's a machine that simulates contractions? Don't have a slightest. It's like it creates muscle contractions. They have them for all sorts of stuff. They're like two little electrical pads and you put them on your lower pelvic line and it makes all the muscles contract down there. And is that for a usually for a legitimate medical purpose? For injuries like for muscle issues. Yeah, Hanson, our executive producer, just said in my ear, he's used one for injuries before. Yeah, I have muscle contractions. So you'd hook that up to you and then old babies kicking. Right. I have one for my neck. Oh, my God. And then I don't want to gloss over this. He bought a toy baby and shoved it up him. Yes. Yes. And then, quote, unquote, gave birth to it. Oh, yeah. Afterwards, he took two weeks off from work to, quote, unquote, grieve because the toy baby was, quote, stillborn. Yes. Well, it was effectively women who objected to his presence in the group. This is the part that got my blood a boiling. Women who had actually lost children were kicked out so that this man could feel support in his game of let's pretend. That's crazier than real grief was considered less important than this man's sexual fantasies. If I'm in a room with people and one of them is this guy with a plastic belly on who shoved up a dollop is to pretend he's pregnant. He's still less crazy than that person over there who kicked out the women who complained. Well, he says he stays you go. I'm sorry, she stays, of course. I can promise you that the I'm assuming the people moderating those groups online were women have never been pregnant. Or don't have kids. I wonder how. Every is that if there was a single husband involved, teeth would have been loosened. Mm hmm. I'm just thinking about, you know, I'm in several Facebook groups for moms and Instagram groups and whatnot. And that that topic of, oh, my God, is my baby OK? Comes up hundreds of times a day. Absolutely. And it's the scariest thought in the world. I mean, I was just telling you guys off the air. I got rushed to labor and delivery the other day because they said my kid's heart rate dropped. Everything ended up being fine. But for a solid like three hours, I was sitting there very, very worried. So the fact that somebody is simulating this because they're effing sick. And then people are, you know, cheering them on. This is just this is so absolutely beyond me. Most toy babies are like the size. Take a deep breath, Katie. Most toy babies are like this big. I mean, they're like the size of a baby. Yeah, they're pretty long. The rectum thing. Yeah. Well, did he use a troll doll or did he have a I don't have a trouble picture in this? No. Why don't you find his number and ask? Well, we maybe we could because Katie's got more information on the person she dug it up. I found him on Facebook. Oh, I tell you what, let me do this real quickly. And then you can do that to top it all off. He did all of this in the house. He still shared with his unconcentng soon to be ex-wife and their minor children. Oh, my God. He even roped his seven year old into taking quote unquote maternity pictures. Oh, my God. Mr. Darron also convinced his doctors to provide him with drugs to induce lactation. He asked the members of an online breastfeeding group he'd joined. If any of them would be willing to let him breastfeed, that is, their babies and attempted to donate the chemical laced sludge he pumped out of his mobs to quote other mothers. I hope nobody took him up on that. I was thinking what doctor would do that? That's a good question, Michael. Then a bit of editorial and Katie with the additional information. These men have proven over and over again, there's no aspect of women's pain. They will not twist into a prop for their sickening deviancy from rape to oppression, a sexual objectification, not to mention just being in locker rooms. Even the loss of a child in the womb is fair game to them. A perverted, selfish, hypersexualized game of make believe that must also always take priority over the real pain and real needs of real women. I would I would not generalize from this guy. No, no, no, no, no, I got to believe. No, most trans people think this guy is nuts. Yeah, I would agree. Yeah, let's be fair. So what we learned of this is a Bay Area person, shockingly. Shockingly enough, yeah, it's a Bay Area Disney adult. I'm looking at a picture of him when he was still a dude. Well, he's always a dude, but when he's still identified as a dude. It turns out you can't change your sex. Right. Of him with his son. Poor kid. Who is maybe one in this picture, maybe one and a half. Little baby. And then fast forward to. That baby is now maybe three or four. It is wearing a little girl's shirt. With dad, who is now identifying as a woman. Oh, he tried to trans his little son. Yeah. And then you fast forward one more year and that son still very young. Now we're talking maybe five looks like a little girl in a dress in a picture with dad, who now identifies as a female. That's the state needs to step in. That is absolute 100 percent child abuse. You without a doubt. Poor kid. You know, mom's just as guilty to for, you know, I don't. What's her deal? I have no idea, but she. I don't, I don't know. I don't know. You know, interesting comments on this, too. Here is a person who is local to that craziness and said, I remembered when this happened, I remember when this happened. Anyone who talked about it on Facebook or Twitter or instantly shut down slash banned. Because when these were posted, this was pre Elon, I guess. At least those days are mostly over. If you like pointed out the absurdity of this, you got shut down. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If you talked about it at all, because you're a transphobic. Um, I get that women are. What's what's the term? Bad drivers. Shut up. Bad parkers, I think is fair. Says the guy whose car drives itself. Get out of here, Jack. Yeah. Well said. Wait, is she won that round? Um, anyway, um, that women see things through a lens of acceptability more than, um, a lot of men, particularly higher testosterone men do. Um, and women don't want to cause trouble. You know, anyway, you know what I'm talking about or you don't. But I am still just stunned at the number of American women who will accept. Rape, whether in prisoner or wherever, in current incursions by men with mental problems into their locker rooms and private spaces and all in the name of being a good person because they've been told allowing men with mental problems to trample all over them, makes them a good person. So they accept it and they do it. I just, I am flabbergasted by that. I'm with you, Joe. He should have been thrown out immediately. At least, yeah. Yeah. At least, yeah. Yeah. Democratic Party's got a big decision to make, whether to nominate someone who leans this direction or someone like Rahm Emanuel, we played the clips yesterday who said, dudes and girls, sports is nuts. He wants to be the Democratic nominee. They got a decision to make. I just want to know where all of those women, every single one of them that was walking down any major road in any of our major cities, wearing that pink pussy hat back in 2016, screaming about women's rights went. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No kidding. Finally, I'm going to read a cartoon to you. The images are quite entertaining, but you can picture them however you want. This is Anne. She is a left wing lesbian who has been involved in left wing politics for her entire adult life. This is Tom, a 50 year old taxi driver who has decided to blow up his marriage and family in order to live his fetish. He claims to be a naughty little girl and a hot slut. Anne does not agree that Tom is a woman. Anne is now far right in a Nazi. She also gets death and rape threats from women who support, from men who support Tom. That's pretty accurate. Yeah. She's a turf. She's a trans exclusionary radical feminist like J.K. Rowling. That's quite a story you brought us today. Yeah, I have pleasure. I don't think I've had a story make me that angry in a long, long time. Well, I guess that's it. This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
