This must be how men/dads feel all the time :D
Yes
As a male I can agree
Yep
i have a ring....
Yes
Seems about right
Changing women to "Those who bleed" or "Birthing person" is honestly so degrading....like we no longer are a person, but only a bodily function
Don't you know my dear friend, objectifying woman is wrong! That's why a person who has a uterus has to be called person who has a uterus, so we don't offend the actual women you see.
IKR!?
"Non-jar opening people" is the current correct term.
@@pewpew9193 🤣
Taking biology out of the conversation by defining 51% of the population according to their biologic functions. Nice.
"Birthing person" is one of the most disrespectful terms to use for a woman. It's like they're talking about a tool rather than a person
I Nominate "Walking Uterus" or "Talking Womb" for consideration.
Some cannot birth though, so where do they stand.
Same thing with 'person of color' just a newer way of saying 'colored person'. How is THAT more respectful?
@@craigdonovan4277 "Birthing" the act of giving birth. So carrying a baby to term and then "delivering" by Csection is not? Take a look in the mirror Craig. You cherry pick a word, or phrase, get it completely wrong and then blame someone else. People like you are the problem

I think we should do what they do to us. If they start calling us transphobic for giving a contradictory opinion to theirs, we should start calling them sexists, Chavunist and misogynist for doing what they are doing to us.
That is what myself and other women have been doing for years now.
“Wokeness is not on the side of women.” Thank you for stating this so plainly. Spot on.
I don’t get why people can’t see that trans ideology just confirms gender stereotyping. Someone doesn’t fit the stereotype of their gender so the answer is to… run away to another gender? If someone is willing to allow such definitions to push them out of their own gender, they’re just accepting the stereotyping. I grew up being told I ‘should have been born a boy’ because I didn’t like dresses, makeup, or dolls. It used to make me mad until I realized the only vote that mattered on how I express my womanhood is mine. I’m so sad and tired of watching men and women listen to this mess and abstain their vote.
“Birthing person” is the derogatory phrase someone would use to describe a horrible or absent mother who abandoned or neglected them. It just eradicates the whole concept of being a mother.
Thats pretty much what they want, they want children to come to them the state bassically to be owned by the state for the state, and nothing outside the state.
I call my birth giver.... birth giver.
Alternatively, it just makes me think that a "Birthing Person" is what they call women during some sort of post-war/apocalyptic future, and that they aren't seen as people anymore, but rather an "object" that produce smaller and louder "objects."
Mad Max, I think was the name of one movie? Where they had women hooked up for breeding? I don't remember much about it, but "Birthing Person" sounds like a term used in that situation.
Also, the mothers in Promised Neverland who got to live if they devoted themselves to working on the farms.
@@zalezagoon1247 More like that they produce nice little obedient slaves and workers for there big mansions.
Smart enough to do the work and file the paper, but to dumb and brainwashed to ever rise up against the Elites.
Just like the Communists they in reality are, call them always for what they are Communists.
@@zalezagoon1247 Mad Max did not have "birthing people", it was about a cop who goes after a motorcycle gang. Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrior is about helping a community trun petrol through gang controlled territory and Mad Max 3 - Beyond Thunderdome is about arena fighting and again, fuel. Mad Max - Fury Road does not have Max in it and is a terrible attempt to capture the originals. Howevet, in it, it is Max who is used as a blood bag. Again, I don't thin there were women who were just breeders.
I’m a mother and I’m proud of it. Being called a birthing person is very offensive.
I tried to talk my mother into it, but she didn't like it either. We compromised on 'egg layer' instead. I feel very progressive now.
@Dauminique....I'm offended that you're offended. Jk btw. I cant wait til all this crazy BS backfires. Seems like it just keeps getting crazier though
@@politicallycorrectredskin796 'egg layer' could refer to an egg laying machine.
And who or what is going to brood those eggs?
And since laying and brooding eggs seems to be a wide spread custom in the animal kingdom why restrict it to humans only? Is that fair?
I would call it 'egg laying and brooding carbon based life form'
Is the insult to a man to say that those are men. It's only lesbians who are afraid of that because they are more like men in the bodies of women
@@DemonsCrest1 these radical feminists hate men more than any other demographic concentrated in such a small group on the planet. I can't believe you fell for this. I think it's an MRA conspiracy to erase lesbians which is crazy not women. They just use you you got played
Being a woman is not just a FEELING. As the lovely Sydney explained, it is inseparably tied to human anatomy and biology, encoded in our DNA. If being a woman is just a feeling, then being a man is just a feeling. Following the same logic and reasoning that we can be whatever we feel...how about my age, can I be what ever age I feel? Can I be whatever race I feel? Can I be whatever species I feel? If we are nothing more than a feeling, then our existence is never defined by anything unique to it. A bird is not a bird, a young person is not young, a black person is not black, etc...
It is ironic how approximately 1% of the population get diagnosed with a medical condition called gender dysphoria but wants the other 99% of the population to be so inclusive of their medical condition as to damage, erase, dehumanize, and endanger those without gender dysphoria through language and policy changes. Yes, rapes in prisons and even domestic abuse shelters have already occurred by trans men identifying as women. The women on the swim team were forced to share a locker room and undress with Lia Thomas who still had a penis at the time. A high school boy who identified as female used Loudoun County, VA's new gender inclusive policies to gain access to the female restroom and rape a female student.
And I bet a million bucks the trans community is only attacking women because they are more afraid of the violence that might ensue if they attacked men. So, they think we are easier targets which is infuriating and even more of a reason to fight back.
A good part of society is agreeing to allow these people access to women's spaces for the same reason. It's because women are seen as easy marks. It is easier for everyone to push girls and women around, than it is to make boys and men behave themselves. Society is saying they want females to handle the problem of gender dysphoric individuals.
If men who feel like females are afraid to use men's locker rooms and bathrooms, because men might bully them, it's easier to let them use our spaces than it is to make misbehaving straight behave. Society is forcing women to be their nannies, rather than laying down the law with men who are acting as bullies.
If i identify as a man, will my pay get better? 🤔
I'm an astronaut. No wait!......I'm the King! I mean the QUEEN! Doh! Now I'm a pelican. The King of Pelicans! Now I'm Barbie! QUEEN BARBIE!
I’m not a feminist. I am a womanist.
I just made it up, but I’ve decided it means protecting and celebrating the biological female. It doesn’t push women to behave like men. In contrast, it teaches women to appreciate their natural, biological tendencies. I’m looking for a book deal, y’all.
You are late to the party. that's been covered numerous times.
love it! keep me posted if you take this further! :)
I think you are heading places !!
Womanism is already a thing. Has its own Wikipage.
Queen latifah was the mother of womanists. That's an expression of feminism from women of color. That's already a thing since the mid 80s

@@JamesASharp Oh Lord no more mother days.. not even "birthing people day" that would be inclusive SMH😂
As a woman and a mother, the term “birthing person” sounds extraordinarily derogatory and disrespectful to me.
If anyone called my mom birthing person she would probably smack their face
Don't disturb urself with them, they are just jealous they don't have what u do. Misery love company
Well, yeah. It makes it hard to distinguish human females from livestock...
These people have not grasped that mother's day is not about simply acknowledging that "some people' have given birth, but the deep biological and social implications of being a mother.
Precisely. If anyone calls me that, they can expect a cuff on the ears and to be sent to their room until they're 104 years of age
As a Woman and Mother, as well as former 'tomboy', I completely agree with you.
They are calling us 'slurs' and think we just have to shut up and take it.
I think more women should stand up against this speech that dehuminizes us into mere 'tools' to be used as 'they' see fit.
I've seen people say that if a woman wants to be anything like a man there must be something wrong with her
I was ranting to my husband about how women are being erased by all this woke culture and he said "I've got someone you might like to watch"
Here I am days later finally feeling like I'm NOT crazy and feeling like I am being heard!
Im so upset that I fought so so so hard for my rights as a women and now my daughter has to grow up in a world where her rights are being taken. It makes me cry.
You have an excellent husband, too!
@@kadran3263 Yes hes a Good one ^.^
your husband is a true "sigma male," a guy who respects women unlike a person that is part of a certain extreme of the mens rights movement
@@I_Am_Transcendentem I haven't heard this term before.
He is amazing, when our daughter was born he told me he never had so much respect for anyone in his life. He was cheering me on and even whispered instructions in my ear when I told the Midwife I couldn't hear her through the pain.
I think our relationship works so well because we both believe in a traditional family and we both know our roles which honestly is not a bad thing! I have built my whole life around growing up, getting married to a MAN and becoming a MOTHER.
When I had someone call me a birthing person I looked at them with so much venom and vitriol they stepped back. Like how dare you!
I am a Mother. I DID NOT go through a natural child birth with no drugs to be called a frackin birthing person! Why do you want to take what I RIGHTFULLY EARNED WITH MY BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS.....LITERALLY!!!!!!
@@miraomadden6195 Sigma male is a term based off a disproven theory regarding wolf pack behavior. It is like astrology for guys.
The fact that speaking up about this can cost our jobs is absolutely terrifying.
And totally unacceptable.
You are fired.
The fact that these things are debatable is terrifying
Screw it! Stand for you principles!
Having an opinion about anything can cost you your job in PC world. That is a tool wielded by the rich and powerful against the decidedly less so to compel compliance. They don't need a job but us peasants do, so either get on board or get rocked. I wonder who the purge movies are designed to scare more, us or them?
As a non “birthing” biological woman, the thing that bothers me most is that people who never had to deal with female puberty, the embarrassment, hassle and genuine pain that comes with menstruation. Being afraid to go out alone after dark. Risking your life every time you go on a date. Having creepy old men saying scary things to you when you are still just a kid. For some of us, having our period and breasts at 10 years old, looking like a woman even though we were still children. The hassle and nightmare of birth control. Unwanted pregnancies. Single motherhood. Being seen as less competent than men, we’re not as funny, we’re not as smart, we’re not as strong in so many ways our entire life. All of that is is dismissed as irrelevant when a trans woman says she is exactly the same as a biological woman. A trans woman has her own history of trials and tribulations, but they are completely different than what I went through.
JK Rowling said pretty much the same thing, as well as voicing alarm about what this means to women who've suffered sexual abuse and rape. I hate it when trans-genderphile messages are put out that implies that trans rights are about 'everyone's needs are to be respected and recognised' (hence their reason for adopting trans-gender friendly policies). No, in fact women's needs are being complete denied. In such a statement, assigned females at birth, already don't exist; they are not even acknowledged. So what they mean by 'everyone' is men, trans-men and trans-women.
Not being funny?
Oh please.
Anita, I said that before, but it was more focused on the nightmare periods are for so many girls, and was told that "trans women" know that, but would still choose it... Serious?! They can't cope with people telling them anything about reality, can you imagine if painful, embarrassing, messy, costly, and emotional etc... reality hit them? 😂😂😂
@@hellybelle5 well, “knowing about periods” is a far cry from HAVING THEM!
The entire trans movement is based on the notion that an exception to a rule gets to say the rule is wrong.

@@kimanderson1240 This is such a crazy world_ where people don't believe that "water is wet"? And if remind them that the sky looks blue, they will argue you down and try to confuse the issue with new definitions or just out-right denial! They'll jump up & down screaming it's not fair! They'll whine, trying to brow beat you into believing "the sky is red"!
There are often times people will dismiss good values & proper upbringing as so-called "old-school"/ "old-fashioned in favor of avoiding what is actual and factual. That which is right, correct & true can't ever go out of style!...
There are many injustices throughout human history which indeed needed to be corrected? However, that which is true & good should never be discarded! I'm sure that you are discerning and intelligent enough to see that we nowadays live in an "everything goes" "free for all" type of world where almost anything that you "feel" like doing, it's Ok under the guise of fairness, social justice, & civil-rights?
Take a real close and objective look at our society. Can you honestly say that every aspect of our family life in society is for the better since these past social movements? Yup, some important things are good_ let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater? But, most things are Not so good, the pendulum has swung way too far in a bad direction. We as thinking cognizant people, need to take a step back & reevaluate?!
“Birthing person?”
Can you imagine how that feels to a woman who has been yearning for children all her life and can’t conceive/carry to term? Wow.
Non-birthing birthing person?
That's not a birthing person... Duh
Given the absolute insanity of this decade, I wouldn’t be surprised if I hear “defective birthing person that needs to be returned to the woman store” somewhere.
Thank you, @Haley Truslow! I was looking for this comment.
@@RebekahSlick The comment is dumb, a woman that can't conceive isn't a birthing person and the term exists as an inclusion of trans men (female to male), not an exclusion of women.
The hatred Transgender women/biological men direct at biological women is repulsive. Great video!
As a woman who doesn't want children, "birthing person" is honestly offensive.
As a woman who can't have children , "birthing person" is a total insult.
Use of the phrase "birthing person" can help in various situations. Not just regarding trans issues but also with lesbian couples. Imagine a situation where the 'mother' has to sign a medical form, but both women regard themselves as the mother (in fact with IVF one woman could be the biological parent and the other could be the 'birthing person' but both are women and both are the mothers)
@@retrogiftsuk4812 You can still use "mother" and specify which is which, there's no need to use "birthing person".
I agree. I gave birth to my three daughters through C-section & my sister adopted a boy & a girl so yes it's offensive on both sides. We are parents. Mothers & fathers.
@@astraeanova4280 well said
The fact that the term "birthing person" came out of the same political party that came up with "women are not baby factories" just says everything doesn't it?
Oh the Irony
It’s “gender neutral “ since men with ovaries exist. I assume thats the sentiment
They're demagogues. Doing or saying whatever to keep themselves in power. It's why they always cobtradict themselves, they have to flip flop to keep it up.
@SusanWojakDemonitized gender and sex aren’t the same 🥴
@@sheisaMachine Except they are. Biology doesn't care about your irrelevant stereotypes regarding how you perceive men and women
She just made me realize the fundamental contradiction of this nonsense. Claiming there is no difference between men and women negates the whole idea of changing from one the the other. If there is no difference, then there is nothing to change!!
See...I've been telling people I'm an old school feminist...I don't want womens identity erased . This is an actual tragedy for actual WOMEN.

@@eagna546 They didn't come out of nowhere - they were always there, the only difference is that now they have means to meet each other and group up. Historically people would ridicule the idiot, and the idiot would realize what a fool he is. But now there are many idiots, all cheering each other on, promoting much more idiocy, on a scale never thought possible.
'Even non-functioning female anatomy is still female anatomy.' So well said! Will remember this!
Yes. A car that has a busted motor is still a car.
So true. Crazy how they think the fact some women are infertile 'validates' them
And that criteria is as relevant to brains as it is to ovaries.
but fake female anatomy , made by re arranging male sex organs and giving hormones does not make one a woman !
Men and Women have different brain structures from each other. Example is that typically girls' brains develop 2 years before boys' brains, and women's cerebral cortexes are thicker than men's (which makes them more rational than men).
Transgender people have the same brain structures of the gender they identify as. It's been proven with brain scans.
So glad I don’t live in the US. But can see this insanity making its way slowly around the world.
I have been watching this unfurl infront of me, so confusing and offensive to women. As a woman who has given birth to a girl and is pregnant with another girl I feel scared for my girls. There needs to be protection for women ( biological women) we go through enough physically and mentally being a female/woman. Turning our experience into a girly fashion makeup show is actually ridiculous and offensive. I am so grateful for people like you! Also the community of both men and women who are standing up for us and giving a glimmer of hope for my girls. Thank you! You are making a difference
Nearly all cis women don't care about transgender women being in their spaces, and most of them don't care about gender neutral language.
Because not that long ago, people like you were warning everyone about how not murdering gay people would lead to everyone turning gay. That was a lie.

I hope you don't mean Femin!sm, because it hurts both sides.
What we're seeing now is explicitly anti-feminist. Second wave feminists made a lot of the the "male as norm" principle, wherein women are defined by the fact that they're not men. Now we right back to the "men as norm" idea with "lesbian" being defined by Johns Hopkins as "non-men attracted to non-men". Once again the identity of "woman" is defined entirely by how they relate to the concept of "men". What makes that especially stupid is that if you ask people to answer "what is a man?" without making any reference to biology I'd expect they'd find it just as difficult as "what is a woman?" They're constantly using terms that they themselves can't define. The entire world view of these people is shot through with illogic and things that can't explain but they keep demanding other people adopt it. I'll only consider that when their world view makes sense.
I love this comment
The irony is that the notion that being a woman is a construct, divorced from biology and defined entirely by how you dress, act, and feel, is one of the most profoundly sexist and objectifying suggestions ever put forth.
That´s the point that bugs me for a while now. There is nothing wrong with being a woman, nor is there anything wrong with being a man. There is, however, a lot wrong with not respecting other persons or generally behaving like a douche. That should, can and must be adressed. That doesn´t require changing the definition of the world, does it?

But actually womanhood is how closely you relate to said stereotype and how it makes you feel versus the other stereotype.

I am a business owner, widow and mother. Being a mother is by far my greatest achievement, the most powerfully challenging and rewarding experience of my life. No one tells me to change my language. What we are seeing is a cult, supported by the corporate sector (pride rallies sponsored by arms manufacturers for example), promoted through the social media algorithms and encouraged by government as a simple decoy to blind us to our societal failures, the financial system, the incomprehensible transfer of wealth and the rise of authoritarianism. Our young people are just a tool, collateral damage. Time for women to be strong, we are many.
I think you clarified for me because it all seemed odd, and I couldn't put my finger on it. Yes, I think this whole movement has sort of "mocked" women instead of enhancing or empowering them. It's worse now than when you put this up two years ago. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that we are called birthing people makes me feel like an alien
You are now a breathing milk and birth giving entity with less rights and social value, then a male, who indentifies himself as a woman.
For an alien, your thumbnail suggests you're quite a pretty lady.
Awesome, I always wanted an alien, but I couldn't make it to area 51 :p
But how many Apache Attack Helicopters have given birth?
I feel sincerely sorry for all woman who once again get something taken away from them! But this time its the women themselfes who dehumanize themself
Despite having the word person in it, “birthing person” is possibly one of the most dehumanizing things I’ve ever heard.
PerSON has SON in it so it needs to be banned.
And that is the point
I swear I saw that term in a slavery hentai
this is something id expect to read in Orwell's 1984. and yes i have read the darn thing.
Birthing Person sounds like someone in the handmaid's tale would say. Which is funny because the book's supposed to be feminist
In any sane society...this wouldn't even be a conversation one would have outside a mental asylum
New subscriber here. Very eloquently said! Thank you for your courage. I think, at the very least, if men want to identify as women, they should be surgically committed to that identification. If they still have any of their male parts, they should not be allowed in the ladies' room -- FOR OUR SAFETY. It's incredibly insulting to have men think they can "identify" as a woman -- they have NO IDEA what it's like to be a woman. And beyond that, I totally agree with you. Well done.
There is a but here... a trans woman still has the physical strength of a man, with or without a male part, and if they want to use the women's bathroom with bad intentions it would be hard for us women to fight them off. That's like saying they can compete in women's sports too as long as they have their male parts removed. Not fair or right imo
“Birthing person” makes you a factory. Or a farm animal. 😡
She is correct, The world is over!!! If women want this to stop gather together just like black lives matters and start doing a Real Women Matter!!! stop giving our rights, accomplishments, and biological purpose to men.
Equality matters! Because it's not just women being a birthing factory now. There are guys who got their rights degraded because of some shitty simp government.

@@dismantlingdeception8939 who's saying they're men! Try tormented and abused little boys... I find it sad !
I remember when Jenner was named Woman of the Year. My father about fell out of his chair laughing and said it was proof that”men do everything better than women including being women”.
Yup, that was the biggest joke for the longest time. Should have been a list for top jokes or memes, that one would have been too!
Yep.
Yes, this old misogynistic adage became reality, so misogynists felt free to say it boldly.
My husband has been saying this for years. And it really hurts. He thinks it’s a joke, but it really hurts. He’s also for trans-females to be in sports just to see the bloodshed. But he doesn’t understand that we actually want to compete.
Facts, men are just better at being women, look at the sports LOL
Ultimately what anyone identifies as will always take a back seat to what they are. I may identify as a billionaire heiress, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a broke dude.
We are real life women, not fake ones. That’s it that’s all. My ego is not afraid to be marked as transphobic.
This is what happens when society starts catering to people with mental illnesses
The rabbit hole just gets deeper and deeper.
Yes!!! I have so much compassion for them but honestly would you get a kid who was mentally ill to give a motivational speech to the year? No.
You get a person with there head screwed on. You wouldn’t get a person with an eating disorder to give a class on healthy eating. This is an extreme case of body dysmorphia and is treatable. Just like other forms.
If your daughter was upset she was fat would u take her for liposuction or teach her to eat well and exercise?
This isn’t rocket science.
This shit is scary.
@ - Astor -
What do you mean? Are you talking about trans? If so, I agree with you all the way.
Not a rabbit hole. Open pit mine with an express elevator to the bottom
You know...the terrifying part is that there are people out there that might actually do it. I mean someone might come up with like "Oh those who suffered of mental issues were ostracised back then so we shouldn't be "stigmatizing" them by calling them "mentally ill" or call everyone else "healthy". Health at every mind people! A mentally ill person is not ill! They are just special!"
And this can link to many things altogether. We who "identify as sane" will be called "mentally standarized" or something of that sort and so on and so forth.
This kind of talk can be even dangerous for all these constructs and it can lead to many issues because technically in their own "inclusion trip" they will basically just erase every social construct or biological thing existing.
Bingo
I think the fact the we even need this discussion, indicates how insane the world is today.
Correction: it indicates how insane the political left is today. I have never heard of any conservative saying anything of this sort.
We don't need it. People are making up non existant problems
I've always said "Leaders Lead..... they don't apoease".....
Basically, if the extremes see weakness in leadership, by appeasing crazy notions, then that gives the green light to the crazy mob and that's what we're seeing today.
I totally agree. THE HANDMAID'S TALE reflects what the birthing person is.
China's watching
Beautifully said! Every bit.
I too feel no animosity or ill will towards anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable in their body. I have unalienable rights though too, and woman have been pushed around long enough. What is going on isn’t a genuine thing. It’s very strange and more people just need to speak up about it.
Thank you for this much needed video!
women have been pushed around since civilization and the concept of marriage first came about. we have been bartering chips and baby-machines, and for the first time ever (beginning in 20th Century) we can finally be more than that, but both extremes (right and left) want us to be reduced back to inanimate objects. like....just say you hate women and go at this point, you know?
Two years later, the problem has not improved at all. In the school that a former classmate teaches at, they have decided to renovate the changing rooms. Boys that identify as girls will no longer be accepted into the girls' changing room unless they had a "gender-affirming surgery". They are planning two larger changing rooms for "boys" and "girls" as before, and a third one that will be slightly smaller for "divergent" students, to be usable after the holidays in August. I think that's the most reasonable solution for the crazy situation we have right now.
"Remember when I said it wouldn't affect you, woman?"
"That's right trans activist, you did!"

It's sad because females are their main supporters at least 90% I assume
Remember when they said the same thing about opening the borders too?
Ever noticed that many trans activists and trans people have the most stereotyped ideas about what makes a woman? A woman, to them, seems to be defined by her clothing and sexual attractiveness - which to me, seems to miss the point of womanhood almost entirely.
It’s their perception of women. They could never know what it feels like to be female. They go on what they see
What about general state of mind, being graceful and modest? Which, however, do change sexual attractiveness - just like in Cinderella story, Cinderella turned out nicer, than her evil sisters, despite really bad clothing, while her sisters wore latest fashion, but still were ugly.
I've noticed that there are many leftist ideologues that display a similar disposition among other topics as well.
well said
Yes. Transgender people just dress up and act like the stereotype of the gender they want to be. Just because you like pink and dresses, doesn’t mean you’re a girl.
Well said! I agree and feel seriously offended as a Woman and a Mother, as well feel sad for the generations yet to come for the amount of chaos that will ensue from these new world views on the basics of human anatomy and identity for both males and females in which I feel is lacking common sense and morality not to mention the fundamental truth’s of Love.
Thank you for this video. It's like in the book 1984 by George Orwell : the reduction, the control of the language narrows the minds and traduces itself with the society. If the language changes, the society is also changing. If we cahnge the definition of men or women, then we change society, and not always in a good way.
“Birthing Person” sounds like something out of a lame sci fi show to describe breeders for the upper class or something
Reminds me of the god emperor of Dune and the axolotl Chambers that they cloned Duncan with.... Birthing people
its the handmaid's tale all over again...
*says to you "under his eye"*
In the Sci Fi movie "The Island" they do exactly that. A company grow a clone of a woman customer, impregnate the clone with her husband's sperm. Once the child is born it gets delivered to the customer and the clone, now useless are killed.
Sounds like something out of '"A Brave New World."
_The Handmaid's Tale_ . It's a tool of oppression born from totalitarian ideology.
It's disturbing when the government decides that "mother" is an offensive term. It's one thing when some moron on Twitter does it, but it's getting scary
“Satan has declared war on motherhood. He knows that those who rock the cradle can rock his earthly empire. And he knows that without righteousness mothers loving and leading the next generation, the Kingdom of God will fail.” - Sheri Dew
@@christiana_mandalynn That's why modern feminists objectify women while thinking they are protecting women from being objectified.
A lot of the examples aren't 'decided' by governments, they come from medical organisations that need to explain medical issues to both cis and trans people.
these woke MFs think "mother is a verb" and "men can mother, too". Look up the Piers Morgan video.
Exactly. I pride myself in being a mother who cherished her children and was a parent rather than a friend raising terrors. I have been with my husband for 29 years and will very loudly proclaim myself and Wifey, another title they are trying to abolish for women.
This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to just flat out ignore the world and go live out the rest of my days alone in the woods

It's about harming as many as possible while cloaking the damage as helping as few as possible.
Birthing person makes me feel bad for the women who want but can't have babies. That must be such a slap in the face. 😢
And to those who choose not to have children... Though I would say it effects those wanting and unable in far more impactful ways.
Oh, it is. My wife hates that term.
If this term comes to be on forms, I will choose OTHER and write Woman/Female in the space.
oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that!
@@MiniWolf666 I think this might be one issue the vast majority of society can agree on. The re-writing of our terms and common usage of language is offending everyone.
The term “birthing person” is the most offensive thing I’ve heard in a long time! I’m a woman, NOT a “birthing person”!
This is such a crazy world_ where people don't believe that "water is wet"? And if remind them that the sky looks blue, they will argue you down and try to confuse the issue with new definitions or just out-right denial! They'll jump up & down screaming it's not fair! They'll whine, trying to brow beat you into believing "the sky is red"!
There are often times people will dismiss good values & proper upbringing as so-called "old-school"/ "old-fashioned in favor of avoiding what is actual and factual. That which is right, correct & true can't ever go out of style!...
There are many injustices throughout human history which indeed needed to be corrected? However, that which is true & good should never be discarded! I'm sure that you are discerning and intelligent enough to see that we nowadays live in an "everything goes" "free for all" type of world where almost anything that you "feel" like doing, it's Ok under the guise of fairness, social justice, & civil-rights?
Take a real close and objective look at our society. Can you honestly say that every aspect of our family life in society is for the better since these past social movements? Yup, some important things are good_ let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater? But, most things are Not so good, the pendulum has swung way too far in a bad direction. We as thinking cognizant people, need to take a step back & reevaluate?!
Oh well? You feminist have done it this time! But, to your selves now? Y'all introduced around 1960s the concept in the definition of "Social Construct" in order to pick apart maleness and put forward the notion of gender neutrality. Back at that time, feminist thought that would further your political cause and weaponize gender to erase manhood & masculinity. The attempt to artificially create this "imagined" no difference between the sexes has now finally backfired!
This so-called LGBTQ gender fluidity movement which now also has cleverly attached itself to the "original" Civil Rights movement of 1950s & 60s is extremely closely entangled with the agenda of feminist movement. The indoctrination & ideology of feminism, and the intersectionality philosophy are nearly one and the same.
In order to keep feminist movement relevant, there must be an ever expanding narrative of causes & victim-hood. The main objectives of feminism has actually already been met! The only thing left is the campaign continuing attempts of the emasculation of men and brainwashing of young boys & girls to gain a perception of power which most women believe that all men possess?
The truth is that whatever power or advantage that men over time have, or have ever had was overwhelmingly in most cases used to protect & provide for them and children.
The feminist constant screaming propaganda of historically widespread abject oppression, abuse, and tyranny by the great majority of men is a lie! They need to stop this, it's not productive nor healthy for society and future generations.
@@vickmurray5751 Water isn't wet though... water is what causes things to be 'wet'

Fantastic work Sydney 👏 i find your brain so inspirational. One that functions with amazing perspective and logic. Thank you for sharing. You are really doing some very important work here. Don't stop... you are inspiring humans to see... to judge and hopefully to formulate actions/ideas that are very much needed at this time.

The hardest thing about being a woman is picking out an outfit? My endometriosis is screaming.

@Dear Lady Well, since women fall under "universal suffrage", yes, women are in fact partly responsible for men's actions. You are part of the political body.

"milk from the feeding parent" and "people who give birth" sounds like crazy crap from 1984 or The Giver
Human milk eh...that could be innuendo.
Yes, and those movies were both warnings that we have failed to heed.

Underrated comment
THANK YOU!
I felt the same way since the first time I heard it, but was unable to put it to words!
You just did!
Especially weird considering that men HAVE (more or less flat) breasts. With hormones , they can grow and they can lactate. So this "distinction" does distinct absolutely nothing.
Duh, that's why it was your mother's nickname for you.
Being called a BREAST FEEDER, A BREEDER, and all the other names that they want us to use for a biological female reminds me of the movie The Handmaid Tales. Is this what the world is becoming? Are we going to be used in the future just because we can give birth?
Any time I hear “gender” my brain just auto shuts off.
Why stop at "birthing parent"? I would like to propose "gestation unit" as even more inclusive.
I love it!!! gestation unit?? Whaaaaaa 🤣
DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS 😭
Why not incubator? It feels about as less human as any other choice 😂 and what about those who choose not to give birth? And saying that birthing person etc covers that because I have the equipment for it... I would contend that women used to be the term for that and look what happened to that... I think I will resign myself to not existing... I'm just a figment of everyone elses imagination... (and just to be clear, this post isn't an attack response to the original poster... It's just free flowing thought inspired by the original post)

@@diggyluvr.williams5117 I appreciate when people having that kind of philosophy
Do you have problems with use of terms that make you personally uncomfortable being used for the sake of larger discussions? For example, using 'cis' and 'trans' when discussing differences in experiences. I understand it can be uncomfortable when terms are used which you feel don't fit -- hence the 'birthing people' debate in the first place -- but almost all identifying terms make at least one person uncomfortable so it can be hard to have bigger discussions when it is deemed a term shouldn't be used because it makes someone uncomfortable despite being the most appopriate.
Disclaimer, this is all being said assuming you mostly agree with what the video, which if not the case just tell me and I'll drop it.
This was my first time watching a Sydney video - You are awesome!
I can’t remember where I heard it but the best way to look at these changes is to realize that misogyny has gotten so intense that the comfort of men wanting to be women has outweighed the comfort of actual women.
Yes this makes so much sense
If you ignore the suicide and homicide rates of trans people. What kind of comfort is there, to 'not belong in your body' and then get killed for it?
And DO stop pretending trans men don't exist, too.
Everything I don't like is violence. Anything that prevents me from doing what I want to do is violence. Not agreeing with my pov is violence. What an infantile philosophy.
"Not agreeing with my POV is violence" is the correct definition of _safe spaces_ for _woke_ people. _Woke_ people regularly claim that they feel "unsafe" when anyone contradicts their opinions. They use the term _"violence"_ as a tool to gain hegemony over discourse. It is an abuse of language that's fitting to George Orwell's nightmare of the totalitarian state _Oceania_ , which uses _NewSpeak_ to deprive the citizens of the possibility to shape thoughts that could challenge the regime.
That’s not a philosophy. That’s an ideology.
BLM riots are mostly peaceful.
Everything about the left is infantile. Their perceived problems, their solutions to said problems, the way they perceive the world... if the airplane is crashing, just wait until the last second and then jump up in the air and it will cancel it out. Duuuuhhhhh! It’s simple science people, this isn’t hard.
These people wouldn't know violence if it came up and slapped them in the face. "Microaggression". Imagine saying that unironically and with a straight face.
Calling us “birthing women” sounds like we’re some sort of scientific specimen
Believe me, they think even worse of you than that.
They say 'birthing person' so no women allowed...
they still haven't scientifically figured out what gives women orgasms, so I am not surprised.
What about "Reproductives"? Maybe "Progenitive persons?" Or is that demeaning and facile?
Sydney, you are a valuable person to the world. Do not ever let someone tell you different
Reminds me of a line from Pixar's 'The Incredibles': "When everyone is super, no one will be."
The beginning of the end started when "everybody became a winner"
Funny you should say that actually. My mother never allowed my sister to lose in a game, always told her she won when she hadnt (Im talking snakes and ladders, ludo, tiddly winks). An important lesson of life totally ruined and I said so at the time. Now as an adult, she is one of the most entitled people I know. Like the world owes her a living. Judgemental and demanding. My mother once asked me how I turned out to be so normal with our family dynamic being so "flawed". I can only guess its because I did a lot of critical thinking from a young age. But I digress. They do say that its the Left who have encouraged "entitlement". Misguided kindness.
YES!!!
Yep
@Абдульзефир I mean, there IS a truth in that. In a competition with others, you may not place first and be THE winner. But the act of finishing what you start is a victory all its own. If presented THAT way, every participant that finishes, and that gives their personal best effort is in fact a winner. In the world today, we have the technology and resources to feed and shelter every human, to convert completely to renewable, clean energy, and to change the paradigm of "life is centered around working to survive" to "survival is pretty much ensured, and now life can center on creative endeavors, spirituality, and the like." But all of this would require co-operation, trust, releasing greed and fear, and embracing a spiritual love for all creatures. As unlikely as this may seem, in that scenario, everyone would be a winner. It's unlikely, but not impossible. Life, business, love...do they really have to be zero sum games? Or can we all benefit MORE by benefitting together?
@@laalaa41 "I'm not sure who your "they" is, but just because "they" say it, doesn't make it so. And...here's an important point: why does it matter so much who encouraged something? Does it add to the solution of the problem to place blame? Also: pandering to someone and not teaching them a fair and balanced understanding of the world and their place in it is not kindness. It's a weak way to lead, and as a parent, you are the leader. It is the path of least resistance, which is lazy, when it is both better and more difficult to hold that boundary firm when your child wants to have a shit fit because they have never experienced defeat before. But kindness sometimes...oftentimes, actually...requires hard truth: " I appreciate your interest in me, but I just don't feel that way for you," or "your picture is good, and I think you can still use some work on shading." Don't confuse lazy parenting with kindness.
"Birthing person" gets even worse than it already is when you realize that it also designates people to a singular role/ purpose in life. If you call someone a birthing person, you're claiming they only exist to give birth, like cattle on a farm.
Absolutely disgusting.
The same ppl who hate the patriarchy said this shit
I grew up hearing on TV that since science has discovered a way to make babies using 2 eggs, men are no longer necessary for a thriving society. How dehumanizing can you be to tell someone their existence is pointless? Now that good women are experiencing some of this I feel sorry for them.
@@phillipgraf4856 I've known women who had no mother and they had some holes in their upbringing that were deep. I also have known men treated badly by their fathers or ignored by them. They have a huge hole in their heart that they try to fill many different ways. Both mothers and fathers give their children what the other one cannot in many ways. Both are essential!
Also akin to this is the term oft used at the moment "Herd Immunity"
@@barbie3139 I completely agree. As the father of stepchildren, I've seen the hole it makes in a child when their father isn't in their lives and wants nothing to do with them. A broken home is not the ideal situation. The mother and father have unique roles that are equally as valuable.
Thankfully, I found myself a “Viking man” (he’s very proud to have Nordic Viking in his genes, he’s also 1st generation Ukrainian American) 12 years ago who is respectful and kind not only to me but to women in general… and a BEAST to anyone who threatens his family. And yes, he has grown out his beard a few times over the last few years and although he wasn’t a huge fan, I wasn’t mad about it. 😅 He is a true man’s man but still a gentleman with a good heart (He and I both constantly have to remind women that he’s TAKEN and not interested in “branching out”)… Truly one in a million and I’m incredibly grateful to be his wife! And yes, we’ve both watched for years the gradual erasure of men and women and knew where things were headed… Now here we are, unsurprised, yet still furious that so many people were blind enough to let it get so far. And they call themselves “woke”… How ironic…
It’s even more insulting to a woman who has been molested, abused, and on top of that, has dealt with serious health issues revolving around my biological female anatomy, excruciatingly painful periods, multiple miscarriages, and other things that men cannot experience and will never be able to fully understand (tbc, I’m referring to everything directly related to my biology, not the molestation & abuse as I also know all too well that this can and does happen to biological males as well).
What is truly galling to me is all the "woke" women who are all too eager to go along and even promote this lunacy.
To add to Sydney's plethora of questions:
If there is nothing that defines being a woman aside from identifying as a woman, why do trans women need to dress differently, take hormones, and sometimes get surgery? Why can they not identify as women *as they are?*
They want to be objectified as women, which is really about the superficial part of womanhood.
“For sAFeTy ReAsOnS”
i'm going to share my view of it all, it may or may not answer your questions depending on how you interpret and how well i explain my ideas but anyways;
it's a complex matter that gets diluted in how many sides there are to the debate. Gender is more psychosocial with a basis on anatomical sex. if society were to eradicate the constructs of gender (i.e. stereotypes in terms of behaviour, appearance, expectations and etc.) much of the debate would die down as gender would not be a thing. If society were to then conclude that sex = gender then that would be fine and you may find that a lot of gender diverse individuals may identify with their birth gender. Trans people would still exist of course as gender would essentially become the experience of comfort with your anatomical sex and not everyone is going to experience comfort with the body they were born with (essentially the biggest psychological aspect of gender)
It gets complicated where people want to break down these ideas of socially constructed gender but also want to support those who identify outside of their assigned gender at birth and the gender binary as whole due to the same socially constructed ideas of gender.
It becomes a thing where gender is both defined and undefined and I can understand why there is such divide and confusion within the topic. It's like pushing the erasure of gender stereotypes whilst also pushing to ensure people feel they belong in the categories they choose based on the stereotypes, terminology and etc. that they feel most connected to.
To really simplify it gender, as it is constructed in our society, is basically a personality type which gets assigned to a person based on their anatomical sex. Not everyone's personality ends up forming in the way expected for their given gender, for many people they don't care and feel connected to their gender regardless which may have to do with their connectedness to their body which has been so strongly affiliated with gender. For others they can feel uncomfortable and as though they don't belong in that category regardless of how they feel about their anatomy. Which is why a person may feel more connected to another gender even if they have no intention to go through things to alter their anatomy and/or hormones. So gender is more than a person's anatomical sex even though anatomical sex can still play a huge role simply because gender has been attached to specific anatomy types for so long.
Therefore you get a mix of people who transition to one gender and engage in a lot of the traits associated with that gender and go through medical transition but you also get people who do not do that and simply feel most comfortable identifying with that specific gender for a plethora of reasons including the ideas of gender being made up and able to change and such and both kinds of people are completely valid (in my opinion.). Which is where much of the confusion comes in. It is a super complex subject which can also be hard to conceptualise without separating sex from gender, which can be super difficult to do also.
I hope that makes at least some sense! I personally lean on the side of being inclusive of everyone and how they identify as I view the world as something where everyone has a unique experience and if they are not directly harming others then I see no issue and accept everyone (i'm not gonna discuss indirect harm as that can get murky and can be highly subjective as well.), I enjoy hearing other perspectives in order to form and alter my own, and I hope you find my current perspectives informative even though I struggle to put a lot of it into coherent words
@@tahlia4381 thank you for this post! I agree with the original comment. There seems to be a contradiction. I will take the example of a trans woman because if I were trans that's what I would be. If I were trans I would have to accept both:
1) Aspects of femaleness are critically important to what it means to be a woman.
2) Aspects of femaleness are not critically important to what it means to be a woman (indeed, not important at all).
Why would I have to accept 1? Because if aspects of femaleness were not important, I'd have no motivation to acquire such aspects through surgery and/or hormone therapy.
Why would I have to accept 2? Because trans women were always fully women, even while having zero aspects of femaleness and having many aspects of maleness.
Personally I resolve the contradiction by accepting 1 and rejecting 2, but that implies trans women are men because trans women lack the critical aspects of femaleness needed in order to be correctly considered women. That's awkward for me because "trans women are men" is considered transphobic, but following what makes sense to me does not make me transphobic anymore than an atheist following what makes sense to them makes them Christophobic. I feel no animosity or disgust toward trans people, only the kind of sadness one might feel toward someone who self-harms.
@@bds8715 there is indeed some contradiction, although one may question what are the critical aspects of femaleness? what aspects of femaleness makes a woman a woman?
the answer could perhaps seem obvious although it gets a little more complex when you consider that not everyone can fit all the critical aspects that may be stated. i’m not just talking about intersex individuals (although that would be the biggest confliction) but also individuals who perhaps have the aspects of female reproductive organs but not so much secondary physical characteristics that much of society considers to make a woman. even if you were to say that only the reproductive system matters that isn’t really what society agrees with since so many women who perhaps have deeper than average voices often face bullying and get labeled as men despite very much not being.
and sure such individuals that do not fit all physical characteristics of their gender can be argued to be a minority and not reflective of how many individuals do fit those, but that’s not really a valid point in argument in my opinion since trans people are also a minority and if we can agree that some people show variations physically and still view them as being part of the gender they most align with then it only makes sense that other variations that result in people being trans should be accepted as truly being the gender they align with (psychologically speaking)
it’s a super complex thing, part of the idea of saying a person can be a woman even when retaining typical male attributes is a lot to do with deconstructing the societal concept of gender. all in all if being a woman or man comes down to reproductive organs then that’s how it should be, all other views of gender should technically be thrown away. but it isn’t quite like that and thats why you will have the contradictions between these
in terms of how gender is constructed, many people do not actually fit all the characteristics of their gender and yet still would be considered truly a man or a woman, but at the same time many of them also would not be considered as such by all of society and this can bring a lot of issue and harm which only results in people diverging from the binary system of gender in order to feel they belong more
"What makes a woman is how she feels, acts, and dresses." So, "woman" is performance art? In a world of words: NO. To hell with these people. As Voltaire pointed out: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
yes. I am a woman (adult human female) but I have more in common feelingwise with most regular blokes than I have with any trans identified male claiming to feel he's a a woman
Agreed. Reference may be too obscure for the woke crowd though. Those moobs probably think Voltaire is a pokemon
🤣
I think they did something similar with the word Non Binary
If that's their idea of gender, then from now on, I'm not a man. I'm a dinosaur. RAWRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More and more people, men and women, are being excluded by this aggressive "inclusiveness" movement, many more than are actually included
