Topic: Leelah Alcorn

The suicide of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender teenager in Ohio, is discussed following a viral social media campaign and a petition for her chosen name to be placed on her tombstone. Activist Dan Savage has called for the arrest of Alcorn's parents, citing their refusal to accept her gender identity. The story has sparked a global conversation about the treatment of transgender youth.

The discussion returns to the Leelah Alcorn case, focusing on the fact that she was prescribed antidepressants prior to her suicide. The hosts argue that the media and pharmaceutical companies deflect attention away from the known suicidal side effects of SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) by focusing on bullying or religious intolerance as the sole causes of youth suicide.
