"Why should I listen to you, as opposed to the doctors when you know nothing about medicine?" Matt Walsh: "Because I know more about medicine than they do, because reasons."
That person is pretty brave to go up against him in such a public setting. You could tell that he/she was mustering up the courage to go speak up to Matt. I have to say I'm a bit proud of him/her.
We give antidepressants to people with depression and they don’t claim “you’ll never be happy like a real person no matter how much you try” How is giving medicine for gender dysphoria different?
@Imran Zakhaev Uh, what? That's not true at all. Depression most often stems from a chemical imbalance in the brain, not something that can be fixed through therapy. Antidepressants aren't a te porary crutch. They're a solution to a chronic condition.
@Imran Zakhaev That "science" merely proved it wasn't due to low serotonin and that more complex factors were involved, such as faulty neurotransmitters, genetic predisposition, and hormone imbalances in the body. Not one study has ever determined that antidepressants were a "temporary" solution. Nearly half of patients find relief through traditional antidepressant medication.
@Imran Zakhaev Sorry but you are on another channel. Switch back to our reality and our rules where facts >> opinions. Post some links where doctors from the medicine field said those things and there the conversation will still go nowhere because you can't post those links and the reason you can't do it will gonna shock you: we both have the same internet so no doctors there who said this, only influencers and maybe other people that are beyond the first page of google search.
He thinks medicine is only to heal you? Is plastic surgery not a field of medicine? If I were to go in for a nose or boob job, I sure as hell want the person doing it be a doctor...
Any surgery at all is invasive and destructive upon administering it. Edited to add: TO BE CLEAR, I AM NOT SAYING SURGERY IS NOT A THING THAT IS GOOD. SHEESH.
@@eros9093 Tecnically yes, them being destructive has little to do with the fact that they are meant to help us. Them being destructive doesn't mean we shouldn't do them, just that, by their own nature, they are invasive to the human body
@@Calandron1 You know exactly what OP is talking about, for conservatives any cis woman that looks slightly "manish" - either through genetics or presentation - is made fun of for not being a "real" woman. This shit has been going on before trans people showed up in conservatives' limited scopes.
FFS: Medical transitioning doesn't change your image of yourself, it changes your body to better match your image of yourself. And full props to this person for facing Walsh as a person he hates and asking him to explain his hatred!
it doesn't change your image.... it just changes your body, which is your image..... fuck off. if you cant stand what you look like off yourself and hope you roll better in the next go.
@@draggy76, writes _"if you cant stand what you look like o** yourself and hope you roll better in the next go."_ Ah, that's the christian love I've come to expect...
Forrest Valkai amd Professor Dave have great content on the science behind s3x and gender. Jessie Gender addressed Walsh's faulty rethoric extensively. And then there's the Trans-Atlantic call-in-show, which has been fundamentally educational for me, a cis, straight white male.
Matt Walsh asks trans people to "accept their bodies," but can't even accept their decision to transition, something which doesn't impact him at all in any way. If acceptance is so easy, it should be a piece of cake for him to accept that other people have a right to make their own decisions.
As a trans person myself, I gotta thank you for standing up with the facts. Whenever I see someone say 'biology is real' as a transphobic argument I always wanna vomit. Like no shit sherlock. But gender and sex are different and you should get some common sense in your head. So yeah, thank you. Truly. From the bottom of my heart
As A Trans Person As Well I Must Say I Shouldn’t Say It Better, And I Agree With All Of Your Statements, It’s Always Nice When There’s People That Support Us
@Imran Zakhaev Little empathy game: if everyone around you start to scream insult at you daily, it will affect your mental health. Now , imagine trans people in that same situation.
And, though I guess I'm cis, I'm surprised these idiot bigots, who seem to think they're well educated, don't realize that throughout history we hoomans have had trans and multi genders all along. Even here in America. Some of the Native tribes had (each had their own terms, translating close to he/she) people. And they were coveted as wives if feminine, or hunting partners if masculine. Their genitals didn't matter! Often, in other cultures they were considered 'holy'. So, this bigotry just comes from fear and that is why it got written into the abrahamic religions. Incorrectly though, as it really was laws against incest! 🥰✌
@Imran Zakhaev Meh, then you have not heard of some of the most repulsive things extremist have said, like defending slavery, or trying to take away your right to vote, or even denying your own existence for their pet arguments.
"I'm a trans person and I feel happier and better since I transitioned. Why should I listen to you who aren't even a doctor?" Matt: "I think it's yucky"
Bear in mind that Matt Walsh is the guy who ultimately answered the question, "What is a woman" in his movie as "someone who needs help opening a pickle jar." He's not exactly a deep thinker.
@@rvens8885 If Matt Walsh's idea of a woman is someone who needs help opening a pickle jar then I guess I'm a woman. Anyone under the age of 12? Women. Babies? Oh they're *especially* women. Someone who does not have use of their arms or have arms? They're women too. It's a stupid argument, Rvens. This kind of poor phrasing was widely mocked in the days of the ancient Greeks by declaring that a plucked chicken was a man because someone defined a man as a "Featherless biped."
Matt Walsh: "Don't change anything about who you are if it makes you happier. Force everyone to live the most miserable existence possible and be okay with it."
Ironically I just read a comment thread complaining about being misquoted and straw manned. Guess that's all fair game for your opponents though, not like we need healthy discussion or anything.
@@slimal1 Perhaps because it suits him so much better than his actual name. Sort of like the eerie discovery that "SPIRO AGNEW" is an anagram of "GROW A PENIS", which is so apt that it strains credulity that it's simple coincidence.

Minute 3 and it's like I'm watching a flat earther trying to explain something. How Matt Walsh evolved his brain backwards? What are those arguments that he provides?
as a woman, if i was born with the genetic disposition to have like DD or higher boobs I WOULD HATE THEM i would def look at getting a reduction down to around what i have now(b to c cups) because IT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY. so these people thing ALL corrective surgeries that ALL kinds of people get? should that lady that had acid thrown on her face have just stayed the way she looked cause 'thats who she is now'? what about babies born with cleft lips? we just shouldn't bother fixing ANY physical issues or deformities cause thats how we were born or we just have to accept life as it is? being trans fit's right into this, its no different then having some kind of birth defect that needs medical intervention; sure its not one thats OBVIOUS, and it can sometimes take a long time before both the patient and their medical team are 100% sure this is what they want to do but if they are sure and they are liking the social changes, and things are getting better the more they go through the process why stop there and not allow them to keep getting better?
By Walsh's logic, I should never have had surgery to correct my collapsed lung when I was born. After all, it was "the way God intended". Fuck Matt Walsh!!!
@@protoborg pfft you just had to learn to be happy with who you were! ya know people can live with just one lung! you'd be far happier if you hadn't mutilated yourself! 🙃
While I can understand not allowing children to transition. I can not understand why people think it is right to deny a persons exploration of their identity when they are old enough to be considered an adult. A persons desire to change their outside has literally no bearing on you. It is their identity, not yours. If it ends up being a mistake it is their mistake, not yours. If their brain is developed to the point of adulthood, you have no place trying to stop them making their own decisions.
They’re jealous idiots who can’t accept other people being happier than them, or they’re stuck-up assholes who can’t wrap their silly minds around the fact that we’re all different, and they will not even attempt to accept anything that doesn’t fit their criteria for “being normal“ Transphobia sucks, homophobia sucks, racism sucks and so does any kind of discrimination, we’re all people, and we all deserve respect.
Yeah. Transphobes really like to throw around the word “mUTilATIoN” as an “argument” because they have no fucking clue what it means anymore, and will label any permanent body modification they don’t like as “mutilation”
@@somik-i3x Oh I bet they do. As I had used to be in the transphobic awful crowd, you kinda end up following whatever they say like it's fact. But I escaped it myself. And now i'm trans whoopsies

I was thinking the same thing... The closest he's ever gotten to something resembling an answer was the "they're lying"... and the implied "don't use that stuff that's making you TEMPORARILY happier, since it doesn't fit with what *_i_* consider medicine to be for."
Glad you're dunking on political pundits like Walsh. Honestly, I believe it's important medical professionals get involved in these kinds of debates so people like him can't get away with spewing pseudo-scientific nonsense.
I refer everyone to House MD, Season 6 Episode 20 to see how miserable those therapy make people. (In that case it was about sexual orientation and not gender) And keep it mind that's a sanitized version for the sake of fiction.
@Imran Zakhaev I mean, theres plenty of actual pure reviewed articles on conversion therapy and how it exacerbates morbidity... and also how these conversion therapy groups act like actual, literal cults... and theres also a fair number of documentaries showcasing the horrible, psychologically abusive practices, (many of the practices on question being formally named forms of abuse the psychology and sociology communities have been studying for decades, now,) so what's the problem, exactly?
I had a dream last night where I was at some kind of thing and then I set my phone down but forgot to turn it off and Matt Walsh was sitting there and started scrolling through my UA-cam recommended page. I took my phone from him and then worried that he would talk about me publicly.
"today on a daily wire podcast with a high budget and a team of editors: youtube user with 200 subs has 'degenerate' youtube recommendations." also your profile is giving me deja vu and i have no idea why...
@@slimal1 My dad listens to Matt Walsh so it caused me to worry about problems that might happen on a personal level from Matt Walsh mentioning me and the kinds of things I watch. Realistically he wouldn’t know my name or anything but it was a dream so it wasn’t fully logical.
Of course the irony of pointing out Matt's lack of medical knowledge is Matt claims people who aren't experts shouldn't be talking about transitioning. Funny how he doesn't think said argument applies to him too...
He's a biologist, Matt is a reactionary grifter with zero academic knowledge, common sense or critical thinking. Only one of them has relevant education.
He’s a self-proclaimed expert. Just like preachers are self-proclaimed experts on sexuality because some dusky old book of fairytales says bonkers things.
I live in Madison and spend a good deal of time around the University campus. I will give Matt at least some credit. He walked into a hornet's nest coming here. I'm not going to say that Madison doesn't have any problems accepting lgbtq people, but this town is a lot more hostile to Matt's point of view than most places in the country. And it only seems to be getting more accepting as time goes on. Do us a favor, Matt, and keep your toxic ideas out of Madison, Wisconsin.
Also live near Madison. Would take Matt over the screeching liberal arts students and meth heads any days. There is literally not a single person across all time that perturbs me 1% of as much as Walsh gets the dummies. It's not even a conversation anymore. He just has to show up, and they'll make his case for him. RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -Actual fully grown adults of Madison
When a video contains Matt Walsh, even if it is arguing against him and showing compassion to trans folx like myself, a difficult equation plays out regarding whether being exposed to his smug, hateful shtick is worth it for the quality of the video. This absolutely passes Professor, thank you.
I want Conversion therapy for Conservatism and Christian Nationalism. A 90 day inpatient program with the same behavior mod tactics they use on LBGTQ people. If I win the powerball 1.9 Billion you can count on paid professionals doing family interventions
After 35 years of this crap since I deconverted, it takes a lot to surprise me. Every once in a while, one will go for the gold, though. Sometimes it's rather entertaining to watch, when it happens to the very people, that are being the bigots. "You are healed"! Whack!💥🤪 It never fails to make me chuckle, at least a little bit.
@Imran Zakhaev people help others without religion, without indoctrination. Just because some individuals sacrifice their lives to help others doesn't give any credit to religion or moreso, any church. It's just money and power hungry heads that use those individuals to their PR machine. And fuck off with that simpleton logic that has nothing to do with each other.
@Imran Zakhaev bs. The Monolithic religions are superstitious nonsense concocted by illiterate Bronze Age peasants and warlords who didn’t know where the Sun went at night.
@Imran Zakhaev the only reason for the continued infection of religion on the world is millennia of forced adherence of entire populations via conquest under pain of death. This is still the case in many parts of the world.
@Imran Zakhaev Adhere to... what, exactly? If you criminally harass someone by misgendering them, whether they are cis or trans, you get punished... because criminal harassment is, yknow, a crime. Though afaik it usually ends with civil court. If someone ended up in jail over a dispute where they were misgendering someone, and they tell you it was solely for misgendering them, they are, uhh, leaving something the fuck out. Its really easy to just... not harass people. Stop believing Daily Mail headlines.
@Imran Zakhaev Also, what's a "moody operation" lol. You mean mental healthcare? Uhh... so what if your taxes go into peoples mental healthcare? So what if that healthcare is to treat gender dysphoria? This sounds like eugenics talk, to me. Taking care of everyone's mental health is part and parcel with the common weal. It's part of the same infrastructure that we use to... feed and shelter millions of people. Meanwhile, religious charities often demand people to pray and convert in order to benefit. Does SSI get denied to you if you don't worship, idfk, Joe Biden? (And before you claim otherwise, there are no cases of anyone being denied SSI for not gendering anyone properly, nor are there any plans to do so, and if there are, you can count on me to oppose them, because people should recieve necessities even if they're an ass.)
"you can't obtain an image of maleness or femaleness" idk matt I'm never misgendered even by phobes cuz they have no idea. I've only been transitioning for 10 months and my body and face is great. And my mood has improved so much.
@Imran Zakhaev trans encompasses any one who does not identify fully with the category assigned at birth. Please stop judging people as malformed. Religious people might get upset since they assume God makes everyone perfect. Not sure why it matters to you but your causing harm to people with your hurtful stances.
@Imran Zakhaev not sure what business their bodies and minds are of yours. Sex and or Genders are very much assigned by governments on birth certificates on the best guess of doctors. They fill out a form and everything. Im not sure how you come to think something is universal and absolute especially when nuclear physics and atomic theory have so many nuances and complexities. So yes. I agree in a way. If you consider atomic theory where we found out that what used to be the 4 immutable elements is in actuality a complex but understandable set of atoms that can interact and combine in ways that are not intuitive to the old way of thinking. For example water that is well known for its fire extinguishing abilities can be made into fuel for fire and is always born out of combustion in the first place. Similarly what seems to you to be a straight forward binary is actually a few dozen lived experiences that you can not see and simply have to accept since their psychology and physiology are both absolutely what they find them to be and not what you hope or want them to be.
@Imran Zakhaev I never claimed you needed to be assigned one… and guess what you can assign your own just like your scenario suggests. But most people are assigned a label at birth that may or may not fit their future lived reality. Now consider your gay, on that desert island and you meet a woman you could technically procreate with but you don’t feel a need to. She might get frustrated because she sees an anatomy that could do that job but not a person who fits that role. It’s similar for trans people. You can’t see what it’s like in their heads, you just have to believe them because they are the experts on who they are… not you. To do otherwise is to be rude and over bearing.
If nonbinary exists then all are nonbinary. Nonbinary- not a system of 2. If there is more than 2 then a gender wouldn’t be nonbinary ALL GENDERS WOULD BE NONBINARY. Including cis men and woman.
I don't understand why Walsh feels he has to interfere with someone else's choice. How does someone wanting to transition have any effect on Walsh's life? I don't try to stand in someone else's way of wanting to make their lives better for themselves because it doesn't affect me in any way shape or form. The stereotype of a strong man includes a strong chin. I wonder why Matt has a beard and never has a shaven chin.
Better version of conversion therapy: 1. Lgbtq kids get a 100% normal FUN summer camp with therapy aimed at helping them accept themselves for who they are by qualified psychiatrists 2. At the same time INTENSE counseling for the parent who wants "conversion therapy" licensed therapists and preachers who ARENT bigots to try to convert them out of hating their kids Treat the real problem in other words the bigoted parents... and some for the kids to because if their parents hate them enough to send them to this bs the kids probably need some. Being lgbtq is absolutely fine being a bigot is wrong
He himself is making an image of maleness by growing this ridiculous beard to hide his weak chin. So he‘s obviously not the right person to talk about changing an image of gender when he self tries to appear more of a male he imagines as he is in reality. So if people can become what they imagine of themselves, why not giving them the same chance that you had, Matt? The thing is, that it needs just a little bit more effort than just growing a beard. And a few minutes later in the video again, Matt, hiding your chin behind your beard is not accepting who your are but trying to be someone else. And you are clearly not the man you think you are, by any definition. But you‘re a male human. I‘ll give you that.
@@Calandron1 Seems to me Matt is ashamed of his chin, therefore the beard. I would appreciate if he shows us his full beauty. Nothing to be ashamed of, no matter how weak your chin is. Or do you think a weak chin is something to be ashamed of? So we all should encourage Matt to be who he is and not to hide behind his beard.
As a trans person, all I can say is thank you so much, we rarely have (educated) cis people defending us. It's always us trans people who have to give counter-arguments to transphobic "arguments" (to which transphobes don't actually give a response that makes sense). Most allies don't do research so they can't properly "have an argument" with a transphobe, convincing the transphobe that trans people and allies are all just delusional, even though there is no "argument" to be made, because who is someone to try and take away from someone being happier as who they truly are, whether or not they understand the science? My mother and brother both watch Matt Walsh, and both have had arguments with me. My mum, convinced that I'm only saying I'm trans because I'm autistic (not even medically-diagnosed autistic, just speculated), wanted me to wait until I'm 25 to start T, I only turned 18 this year and I wasn't waiting another seven years to live my truth. I'm almost three months on T now and I can say that the charges are what I signed up for when deciding to take it. My brother, on the other hand, used to accept me until he got sucked into this Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro hole. He had an "argument" with me the night before my 18th birthday right in front of our cousin over our cousin calling me a "gentlemen". I told him I could send him actual research and papers and facts and he denied all of that, claiming that "universities are all owned by leftists and don't do real research". Again, thanks for this video. It's been a while since I've watched them, nice to see you're still hear spreading actual facts and debunking misinformation.
Forrest valkai has a good video called sex and sensibility, i know they probably won't take any notice but it might be worth trying to get them to watch it.. it sux you have family like that.. ❤
I live Forrest's debunking of the "sex/gender is binary" idea, and the way basic grade school teaching keeps it simple for young kids, while advanced level teaching fleshes it out more, no matter what subject you're talking about.
A person with a cleft palate or some other deformity can't get surgery to correct that if it's just an aesthetic thing? Women aren't allowed to increase their breast size if they feel that it's too small? Women aren't allowed to shrink their breast size if they think it's too large? All these other body changing surgeries that we have that are all cosmetic no one's allowed to do that?
Well put! What's the difference, and why do these people like Walsh care? It doesn't apply to or affect them, and it does worlds of good for people. Also, you just reminded me of a brilliant song from A Chorus Line called Dance Ten, Looks Three. It tells the story of a talented dancer who couldn't win an audition bc as well as she performed (dance 10), they didn't like her body (looks 3). She got her body surgically fixed, and her career was off and running. If you don't know it, it's worth a listen! Randy Rainbow did a wonderful parody of it called "Thoughts and Prayers", btw.
Many doctors don't try to correct cleft palettes if it's only for esthetics, you see a cosmetic surgeon for yhat and often the outcomes show that you had a cleft palette unless the deformity was very minor. Breat augmentation doesn't just come with risks it comes with a time for replacement all women lose some or all sensation in their nipple/s and many cannot lactate if they choose to get augmentation before having kids (the latter depends on the type of breast augmentation). Much fewer women (and their partners) are ok committing to breast reduction and it is only even recommended if the woman's breasts are so large that they cause physical problems. Just look at how many people out there who are unsatisfied with elective cosmetic surgeries. Doctors aren't miracle workers as sad as that might be to hear that's the truth.
@@VariantAEC no if a person asks them to correct it they will correct it. It cosmetic surgeon is still a doctor. Yet if a woman still wants it done there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting it done No there are actually a good number of women that seek breast reductions And look at all the people out there that are happy with it. None of your statements have amounted to anything buddy
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite Cleft palettes: The default action is not to correct it if it is not causing problems. Breast reductions: and yet it's still incredibly rare that women choose to. Seriously, think of how many guys seek penile shortening. Yeah it's rarer (regarding male member shortening, not even sure there's a procedure for that). About satisfaction rates: most cosmetic procedures have lower rates... bizarrely while trying to find stats about the number of brest reductions compared to other cosmetic procedures some claim breast reduction has the highest satisfaction rate... just let that sink in. If you don't believe me look at the ASPS 2020 report which shows reductions are down 28% (46.3K in 2019 to 33.6k 2020). Breast implant removal is up 8% (33.6k in 2019 to 36.4k in 2020). This is just what we have in America but seeing as how US actresses seemed to be behind the last BR push it seems likely that America had the biggest uptick and likely fall-off last time. To put things into a bit better perspective the first item on that list is breast implant insertion down 33% from 2019 from (287k in 2019 to 193k in 2020). Looks like you were still very wrong though...
@@VariantAEC depending on the severity of the cleft palate yes the default is to fix it. The person that has the cleft palate is more than likely going to want to correct it later on down the line. You're just absolutely incompetent buddy Just because removal is up 8% does not mean that people don't want them. People still get breast implants and there are multiple different ways to get breast implants. What you think a person that got a mastectomy shouldn't be allowed to get breast implants to restore what they originally had Nobody you are absolutely wrong and absolutely incompetent. You're just trying to control other people because of your incompetency
When Matt says you can never become truly like the other gender and their appearence, you can be sure, he fell for a trap/got confused and then got mad when he discovered the person he was interested in looked like a woman but was actually trans, etc, and he never was able to let go of it, he probably still mad af that it happened to him...
Dear Stick, I'd love to hear your take on the controversial study by Robert G. Heath, where he electrically stimulated arousal center in the brain while exposing the subject to heterosexual imagery. Of course it was unethical, of course homosexuality is not something to be "cured", but it was very interesting research for it time. What are the implications of that research? Would it be ethical to do such a procedure on someone who requested it because homosexuality is a crime punishable by death in their country? I'd love to hear your take on that paper. Thanks Stick
Okay, the objective of medicine is to heal you. So if someone is diagnosed with GENDER DYSPHORIA, which is a MEDICAL ISSUE that requires HEALING... then, BY HIS OWN DEFINITION... medicine should be used to help the patient. And since what helps the patient IS the transition, that's exactly what medicine should do. Do I believe that medicine really helps them? Not that much; it helps with their image which is a very big thing though. Does it biologically change their gender? No, but that's only until we manage to create gene therapy that edits their DNA. Does it make people who have gender dysphoria deal with life better? Of course. And yes, there are people who pretend to be trans (trans-trenders) and there's also a lot of confused people who make a very big choice while under emotional duress. But that simply means we need to get better people to diagnose actual issues from underlying ones. Not go "hurr durr, I say I right, therefore I right".
There are lots of conditions for which modern medicine can only treat symptoms. Virtually every neurological condition, whether it's something physical like Parkinson's, or "mental" like depression, is in this category. So is gender dysphoria. People like Walsh can't accept that just because we can't body-swap does not mean we can't offer and provide therapy that helps trans people accept themselves. Just like we have therapy to help bulimics accept _their_ bodies.
Professor Stick, I think it's great you're countering the bigot mw! No one but YOU can know how YOU feel! But mw thinks he's preaching gawd! Yet he doesn't even know his own myth! As usual! I've seen him show his ignorance about christianity, it's about the same as his ignorance about human sexuality. 👍🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌
So the studies looking at what Matt wants to happen show it being very harmful. And the studies looking at gender affirming care, show it to be beneficial. Oh, but there's no long terms studies... and lets ignore that there can't be long term studies yet... Moving the goal posts much Matt? Kudos to the questioner actually facing Matt like that. That takes courage. The amount Matt knows, and cares about what helps someone like that questioner to be mentally healthy, could fit on a postage stamp. Well at least Matt wasn't vocally calling for stoning gays. He's apparently satisficed with abuse and harassment.
There are long term studies and the longer the timeline the better the quality of the study and the more people they can get data from 5+ years later (post-SRS)... The worse transition appears to be.
@@avishevin1976 Quality of life of treatment-seeking transgender adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis (a peer-reviewed paper) Mental health "Findings from the meta-analysis of mental health-related QoL suggest that the QoL of transgender people is significantly poorer than that of the general population, with a medium to large effect size (standard mean difference = 0.78). The subgroup meta-analysis including only the samples of transgender people who were classifiable as post-hormonal treatment found that transgender people post-CHT still had lower mental health-related QoL than the general population. This difference was not significant and the effect size was reduced (standard mean difference = 0.42). The possibility that treatment is associated with improvements in mental wellbeing is supported by the findings from the small number of longitudinal studies in this review. These found that both CHT and GAGS improve QoL. However these results need to be treated with caution, as the only study to employ a longer term follow-up reported that after an initial improvement in QoL at 1-year post-GAGS, scores tend to steadily decrease in the following years until reaching 5-years post-GAGS, when QoL is lower than at pre-treatment. During the first year post-GAGS people tend to report overly enhanced QoL, which may not be representative of a long-term picture of patients’ psychological status and QoL. The improvement in QoL experienced by transgender people at short-term could be attributed to relief at being able to live as the experienced gender. Additionally, as QoL in the general population has been shown to decrease with age, a decline in these scores is somewhat expected as time passes." Conclusion "As all systematic literature reviews, this study is also limited by the amount and quality of the published literature available. Future studies should employ more robust methodologies, which explore QoL in a more homogeneous population and using matched control groups. Despite the limitations of the published literature, this review concludes that overall transgender people display poorer QoL than the general population, particularly pre-GAT, and that QoL improves once people are on CHT. When specifically looking at the different dimensions of QoL (vQoL, sex-related QoL, and body image-related QoL), findings of the systematic review suggest that transgender people display poorer QoL than the general population, independent of the QoL domain investigated. As per general QoL, all dimensions of QoL have been shown to improve post-GAT. However, as the effect of GAT is linked to gender, a more positive vQOL was found for transgender men than transgender women at post-GAT, whilst opposite findings were obtained for sex-related QoL. As long-term follow-up studies are limited in numbers and methodology, more studies are required exploring long-term QoL. This information may aid the development of support and interventions aiming at increasing resilience for those at risk of a poor QoL post-GAT." There are other studies that suggest similar poorer long-term outcomes and worse satisfaction post-SRS, but this one was long and I have other things to tend to.
Anyone that watched that video, with Walsh saying ignorant language, and come away with the idea that Matt Walsh made sense, or is in anyway a person that should make public appearances like this. Should take a deep look at themselves! Telling people a load of shit, calling professionals liars, and yeah there probably are liars that are professional. I mean, Matt is a great example. But him speaking on a subject where the only experience he has on the subject is being a UA-cam content creator is nonsense. I give that young adult props for asking that question. I'll be the first to admit that the transgender situation is something I've only begun to understand. I used to think that homosexual feelings were a result of sexual abuse by a same sex perpetrator, along with not having someone to teach them sex education. I never had any issues with homosexual actions, I just thought that was how one eventually becomes homosexual. But when I actually dug down and researched info, and the mother of my kids asking me a really important question- "How would you treat your son if he told you he was homosexual or he said he didn't feel right, that he has female likes and wants, but looks like a boy, with a penis, and so forth?" Asking me that, actually forced me to find out. Anyone that thinks they know what is right with zero education, or didn't do any research on the subject, are making a huge mistake and will be damaging the relationship with their kids. When looking on the subject of what transgender even is, that was another thing that opened my mind. Thats when I looked at the world of bigotry, hate, and how religions influence those emotions with a massive hate of my own. And that we need more people to speak out about it more than ever.
Just beginning the vid. I like Walsh to be honest, and I mostly agree with him on the topic of transgender. That being said, if this isn’t click bait and he actually does than he’s completely fucked. We understand why people are gay fairly well now a days.
Walsh literally knows nothing about trans issues. He doesn't understand what causes someone to be transgender. He doesn't understand the effects of any therapies, whether hormonal or surgical. What exactly does he say that you agree with?
I feel uncomfortable with Stick's assertion of "who you idenify as is what you truly are". The "feeling" should give you the freedom to express yourself the way you want, but it literally cannot change the biological reality of who you are. It's kind of like if you identify with a tiger and cosplay as a tiger you will never be a tiger. I think the main problem is the deep insecurity and sadness that this trans person feels in being the sex they were born as, and we as a society should make them feel comfortable expressing themself in the way that they feel happy. I would like to know why that person was so sad at being a boy or being treated like a boy, and how they were treated (were they in a religious family?). You can see the deep emotion just in their question. I think it is a complicated subject and Walsh comes across as too much of a judgemental, cocky asshole, when the topic requires more nuance that probably is neither Walsh right wing or Woke left wing. I think there are some people who are genuinely trans but I believe a lot of them are simply confused or even mentally ill. Internet social media just makes it worse because people can form groups of like minded people. Telling kids at an early age that you can be anything you identify as is going to lead to lots of problems.
This is just false. Gender identity is what you identify as and that's literally who you are. Gender unlike sex isn't biological concept but social one. That's why your tiger analogy doesn't work. Your identity is irrelevant to your species. And being progressive or tolerant isn't causing mental issues or "transing" children. That's just a right wing talking point based on zero evidence. In fact evidence we have contradicts this.
@@rvens8885 Well, you’re not the opposite sex, but you’re the opposite GENDER. Fun fact : Sex and Gender don’t mean the same thing anymore. Sex is physical (Genes, and private parts) while Gender is in the head (Man, woman or other.)
@Rayrard 🤦♂️ You think gender dysphoria can be fixed with meds and torture chambers don’t you… Seriously, being mentally ill means you have a mental illness. (obviously) Mental illness ruin people. They can damage their brain, and even make them do terrible things. Trans people don’t get any effects from it other than being happier and feeling better about themselves.

Nice video, hope it doesn't get raided by Matt Walsh fans though (something I've seen on other videos criticizing him). I don't know why he is always so disingenuous and smug all of the time. It makes me sad. He doesn't say what he believes.
I'm a trans person myself but the way I look at it, You could either change the body to make a trans person more happy with themself, Or change their brain chemestry so that the gender dysphoria dissapears. And since we don't know how to alter specific things in the brain, why not go with the thing that actually shows to be working
i woudnt take that option. i'd be glad if it existed, for anyone who did want it, but i could never modify my very sense of self like that. and honestly, i really feel like transness in of itself is a really big part of my identity, something im proud of, and i dont think i would give it up to be cis, although maybe thats just because i dont have a binary identity..
@@soweliLuna I don't think anyone would take that option. If there were such a treatment that could remove my Asperger's, I wouldn't take such an option.
I get antidepressants to make me happier. That is literally what all of medicine does. If you are bleeding that makes you sad. Bandages just make you happy in the moment. Just accept that you are going to be dizzy for a few days. Big bandage just wants to get rich of clumsy people.
I have no idea how Conversion Therapy happens. If this therapy was properly developed by psychologists like they eventually did for many others,guiding and training others then of course it would work The problem is nearly all of conversion therapists starts with religion shaming right away which is against the basics of therapy even if its depression and anxiety. With research the mental health professionals couldve helped gender dysphoric people but they ultimately choose not to
The problem is that conversion therapy is driven by an agenda rather than by data or anything else substantive. It wants people to be a certain way rather for them to be healthy (within reason) regardless of how "be healthy" lands for them. It's hard to remove the religious rhetoric from being its basis because you're implicitly asking "how can I make these people be not-that" instead of "what are the problems and how do I solve these problems?"
Omg please keep going! Yessss! It feels like people just don't go into this subject nearly enough, and there's a lot of blatantly anti-intellectual and extremely problematic BS just on... A ton of things said by the "concerned but not really" party. Being willing to actually discuss the subject at any kind of length instead as a one-off video would be amazing!

We give antidepressants to people with depression and they don’t claim “you’ll never be happy like a real person no matter how much you try”
How is giving medicine for gender dysphoria different?
I mean, to be fair, plenty of people say things like "You don't need drugs to be happy, just do yoga" and ignorant crap like that.
@Imran Zakhaev Uh, what? That's not true at all. Depression most often stems from a chemical imbalance in the brain, not something that can be fixed through therapy. Antidepressants aren't a te porary crutch. They're a solution to a chronic condition.
@Imran Zakhaev okay replace antidepressants with any other drug used to treat a lifelong mental illness or disease. There are plenty lol
@Imran Zakhaev That "science" merely proved it wasn't due to low serotonin and that more complex factors were involved, such as faulty neurotransmitters, genetic predisposition, and hormone imbalances in the body.
Not one study has ever determined that antidepressants were a "temporary" solution. Nearly half of patients find relief through traditional antidepressant medication.
@Imran Zakhaev Sorry but you are on another channel. Switch back to our reality and our rules where facts >> opinions.

Matt Walsh asks trans people to "accept their bodies," but can't even accept their decision to transition, something which doesn't impact him at all in any way. If acceptance is so easy, it should be a piece of cake for him to accept that other people have a right to make their own decisions.

@Imran Zakhaev Have you heard of a metaphor?
And, though I guess I'm cis, I'm surprised these idiot bigots, who seem to think they're well educated, don't realize that throughout history we hoomans have had trans and multi genders all along. Even here in America. Some of the Native tribes had (each had their own terms, translating close to he/she) people. And they were coveted as wives if feminine, or hunting partners if masculine. Their genitals didn't matter! Often, in other cultures they were considered 'holy'. So, this bigotry just comes from fear and that is why it got written into the abrahamic religions. Incorrectly though, as it really was laws against incest! 🥰✌
@Imran Zakhaev Meh, then you have not heard of some of the most repulsive things extremist have said, like defending slavery, or trying to take away your right to vote, or even denying your own existence for their pet arguments.

I would love to see you do a video breaking down the studies. I haven't taken a close look at the studies in about 2 decades
While I can understand not allowing children to transition. I can not understand why people think it is right to deny a persons exploration of their identity when they are old enough to be considered an adult. A persons desire to change their outside has literally no bearing on you. It is their identity, not yours. If it ends up being a mistake it is their mistake, not yours. If their brain is developed to the point of adulthood, you have no place trying to stop them making their own decisions.
Well said
They’re jealous idiots who can’t accept other people being happier than them, or they’re stuck-up assholes who can’t wrap their silly minds around the fact that we’re all different, and they will not even attempt to accept anything that doesn’t fit their criteria for “being normal“
Transphobia sucks, homophobia sucks, racism sucks and so does any kind of discrimination, we’re all people, and we all deserve respect.
Transitional surgeries are not mutilating. They are reconstructive.

And fuck off with that simpleton logic that has nothing to do with each other.
@Imran Zakhaev bs. The
Monolithic religions are superstitious nonsense concocted by illiterate Bronze Age peasants and warlords who didn’t know where the Sun went at night.
@Imran Zakhaev the only reason for the continued infection of religion on the world is millennia of forced adherence of entire populations via conquest under pain of death. This is still the case in many parts of the world.
@Imran Zakhaev Adhere to... what, exactly?
If you criminally harass someone by misgendering them, whether they are cis or trans, you get punished... because criminal harassment is, yknow, a crime. Though afaik it usually ends with civil court. If someone ended up in jail over a dispute where they were misgendering someone, and they tell you it was solely for misgendering them, they are, uhh, leaving something the fuck out.
Its really easy to just... not harass people. Stop believing Daily Mail headlines.
@Imran Zakhaev Also, what's a "moody operation" lol.
You mean mental healthcare? Uhh... so what if your taxes go into peoples mental healthcare? So what if that healthcare is to treat gender dysphoria? This sounds like eugenics talk, to me. Taking care of everyone's mental health is part and parcel with the common weal. It's part of the same infrastructure that we use to... feed and shelter millions of people.
Meanwhile, religious charities often demand people to pray and convert in order to benefit. Does SSI get denied to you if you don't worship, idfk, Joe Biden? (And before you claim otherwise, there are no cases of anyone being denied SSI for not gendering anyone properly, nor are there any plans to do so, and if there are, you can count on me to oppose them, because people should recieve necessities even if they're an ass.)

I decide who I am, as should everyone else.
Trans people are not all limited to the binary M/F
@Imran Zakhaev reality disagrees with you. Intersex people with all the parts exist. You are not an expert obviously.
@Imran Zakhaev trans encompasses any one who does not identify fully with the category assigned at birth. Please stop judging people as malformed. Religious people might get upset since they assume God makes everyone perfect. Not sure why it matters to you but your causing harm to people with your hurtful stances.
@Imran Zakhaev not sure what business their bodies and minds are of yours. Sex and or Genders are very much assigned by governments on birth certificates on the best guess of doctors. They fill out a form and everything. Im not sure how you come to think something is universal and absolute especially when nuclear physics and atomic theory have so many nuances and complexities. So yes. I agree in a way. If you consider atomic theory where we found out that what used to be the 4 immutable elements is in actuality a complex but understandable set of atoms that can interact and combine in ways that are not intuitive to the old way of thinking. For example water that is well known for its fire extinguishing abilities can be made into fuel for fire and is always born out of combustion in the first place. Similarly what seems to you to be a straight forward binary is actually a few dozen lived experiences that you can not see and simply have to accept since their psychology and physiology are both absolutely what they find them to be and not what you hope or want them to be.
@Imran Zakhaev I never claimed you needed to be assigned one… and guess what you can assign your own just like your scenario suggests. But most people are assigned a label at birth that may or may not fit their future lived reality. Now consider your gay, on that desert island and you meet a woman you could technically procreate with but you don’t feel a need to. She might get frustrated because she sees an anatomy that could do that job but not a person who fits that role. It’s similar for trans people. You can’t see what it’s like in their heads, you just have to believe them because they are the experts on who they are… not you. To do otherwise is to be rude and over bearing.
If nonbinary exists then all are nonbinary. Nonbinary- not a system of 2. If there is more than 2 then a gender wouldn’t be nonbinary ALL GENDERS WOULD BE NONBINARY. Including cis men and woman.
Hey man I love that you do didn’t go the right pipeline I love it man, thank you for not becoming another right wing stickman
I don't understand why Walsh feels he has to interfere with someone else's choice. How does someone wanting to transition have any effect on Walsh's life? I don't try to stand in someone else's way of wanting to make their lives better for themselves because it doesn't affect me in any way shape or form.
The stereotype of a strong man includes a strong chin. I wonder why Matt has a beard and never has a shaven chin.
Better version of conversion therapy:
1. Lgbtq kids get a 100% normal FUN summer camp with therapy aimed at helping them accept themselves for who they are by qualified psychiatrists
2. At the same time INTENSE counseling for the parent who wants "conversion therapy" licensed therapists and preachers who ARENT bigots to try to convert them out of hating their kids
Treat the real problem in other words the bigoted parents... and some for the kids to because if their parents hate them enough to send them to this bs the kids probably need some. Being lgbtq is absolutely fine being a bigot is wrong
He himself is making an image of maleness by growing this ridiculous beard to hide his weak chin. So he‘s obviously not the right person to talk about changing an image of gender when he self tries to appear more of a male he imagines as he is in reality. So if people can become what they imagine of themselves, why not giving them the same chance that you had, Matt? The thing is, that it needs just a little bit more effort than just growing a beard.
And a few minutes later in the video again, Matt, hiding your chin behind your beard is not accepting who your are but trying to be someone else. And you are clearly not the man you think you are, by any definition. But you‘re a male human. I‘ll give you that.
@Imran Zakhaev I don‘t know if his butt hurts, but he‘ gets definitely hurt by comments about his chin. 😉
@Imran Zakhaev „Who is a cute little edge lord? Who, who, who, who?“ 😉
Wow another body shaming leftist. Nothing new to see here bois
@@Calandron1 Seems to me Matt is ashamed of his chin, therefore the beard. I would appreciate if he shows us his full beauty. Nothing to be ashamed of, no matter how weak your chin is. Or do you think a weak chin is something to be ashamed of? So we all should encourage Matt to be who he is and not to hide behind his beard.
"You can never attain this image of maleness or femaleness" I dunno Matt, I've seen some pretty convincing traps in my time...
that ending statement by stick should be a UN directive
I would expect Matt to respond to this, he responded to Professor Dave a few months ago on this topic.
As a trans person, all I can say is thank you so much, we rarely have (educated) cis people defending us. It's always us trans people who have to give counter-arguments to transphobic "arguments" (to which transphobes don't actually give a response that makes sense). Most allies don't do research so they can't properly "have an argument" with a transphobe, convincing the transphobe that trans people and allies are all just delusional, even though there is no "argument" to be made, because who is someone to try and take away from someone being happier as who they truly are, whether or not they understand the science?
My mother and brother both watch Matt Walsh, and both have had arguments with me. My mum, convinced that I'm only saying I'm trans because I'm autistic (not even medically-diagnosed autistic, just speculated), wanted me to wait until I'm 25 to start T, I only turned 18 this year and I wasn't waiting another seven years to live my truth. I'm almost three months on T now and I can say that the charges are what I signed up for when deciding to take it.
My brother, on the other hand, used to accept me until he got sucked into this Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro hole. He had an "argument" with me the night before my 18th birthday right in front of our cousin over our cousin calling me a "gentlemen". I told him I could send him actual research and papers and facts and he denied all of that, claiming that "universities are all owned by leftists and don't do real research".
Again, thanks for this video. It's been a while since I've watched them, nice to see you're still hear spreading actual facts and debunking misinformation.
Forrest valkai has a good video called sex and sensibility, i know they probably won't take any notice but it might be worth trying to get them to watch it.. it sux you have family like that.. ❤
I live Forrest's debunking of the "sex/gender is binary" idea, and the way basic grade school teaching keeps it simple for young kids, while advanced level teaching fleshes it out more, no matter what subject you're talking about.
A person with a cleft palate or some other deformity can't get surgery to correct that if it's just an aesthetic thing? Women aren't allowed to increase their breast size if they feel that it's too small? Women aren't allowed to shrink their breast size if they think it's too large? All these other body changing surgeries that we have that are all cosmetic no one's allowed to do that?
Well put! What's the difference, and why do these people like Walsh care? It doesn't apply to or affect them, and it does worlds of good for people.
Also, you just reminded me of a brilliant song from A Chorus Line called Dance Ten, Looks Three. It tells the story of a talented dancer who couldn't win an audition bc as well as she performed (dance 10), they didn't like her body (looks 3). She got her body surgically fixed, and her career was off and running. If you don't know it, it's worth a listen! Randy Rainbow did a wonderful parody of it called "Thoughts and Prayers", btw.
Many doctors don't try to correct cleft palettes if it's only for esthetics, you see a cosmetic surgeon for yhat and often the outcomes show that you had a cleft palette unless the deformity was very minor.
Breat augmentation doesn't just come with risks it comes with a time for replacement all women lose some or all sensation in their nipple/s and many cannot lactate if they choose to get augmentation before having kids (the latter depends on the type of breast augmentation).
Much fewer women (and their partners) are ok committing to breast reduction and it is only even recommended if the woman's breasts are so large that they cause physical problems.
Just look at how many people out there who are unsatisfied with elective cosmetic surgeries. Doctors aren't miracle workers as sad as that might be to hear that's the truth.
@@VariantAEC no if a person asks them to correct it they will correct it. It cosmetic surgeon is still a doctor.
Yet if a woman still wants it done there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting it done
No there are actually a good number of women that seek breast reductions
And look at all the people out there that are happy with it. None of your statements have amounted to anything buddy
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite
Cleft palettes: The default action is not to correct it if it is not causing problems.
Breast reductions: and yet it's still incredibly rare that women choose to. Seriously, think of how many guys seek penile shortening. Yeah it's rarer (regarding male member shortening, not even sure there's a procedure for that).
About satisfaction rates: most cosmetic procedures have lower rates... bizarrely while trying to find stats about the number of brest reductions compared to other cosmetic procedures some claim breast reduction has the highest satisfaction rate... just let that sink in.
If you don't believe me look at the ASPS 2020 report which shows reductions are down 28% (46.3K in 2019 to 33.6k 2020).
Breast implant removal is up 8% (33.6k in 2019 to 36.4k in 2020).
This is just what we have in America but seeing as how US actresses seemed to be behind the last BR push it seems likely that America had the biggest uptick and likely fall-off last time.
To put things into a bit better perspective the first item on that list is breast implant insertion down 33% from 2019 from (287k in 2019 to 193k in 2020).
Looks like you were still very wrong though...
@@VariantAEC depending on the severity of the cleft palate yes the default is to fix it. The person that has the cleft palate is more than likely going to want to correct it later on down the line. You're just absolutely incompetent buddy
Just because removal is up 8% does not mean that people don't want them. People still get breast implants and there are multiple different ways to get breast implants. What you think a person that got a mastectomy shouldn't be allowed to get breast implants to restore what they originally had
Nobody you are absolutely wrong and absolutely incompetent. You're just trying to control other people because of your incompetency
They do accept who they are.
A trans person.
And Matt is trying to make them pretend they won't probably be happier on hormones.
When Matt says you can never become truly like the other gender and their appearence, you can be sure, he fell for a trap/got confused and then got mad when he discovered the person he was interested in looked like a woman but was actually trans, etc, and he never was able to let go of it, he probably still mad af that it happened to him...
>>> I bet you've never read a science paper Matt
bold of you to assume he can read in the first place.
Lol Stick has gone to new lows. Ever heard of never punching down? This is what you focus on? Punch up, bud.
Dear Stick, I'd love to hear your take on the controversial study by Robert G. Heath, where he electrically stimulated arousal center in the brain while exposing the subject to heterosexual imagery. Of course it was unethical, of course homosexuality is not something to be "cured", but it was very interesting research for it time.
What are the implications of that research? Would it be ethical to do such a procedure on someone who requested it because homosexuality is a crime punishable by death in their country?
I'd love to hear your take on that paper.
Thanks Stick
Okay, the objective of medicine is to heal you. So if someone is diagnosed with GENDER DYSPHORIA, which is a MEDICAL ISSUE that requires HEALING... then, BY HIS OWN DEFINITION... medicine should be used to help the patient. And since what helps the patient IS the transition, that's exactly what medicine should do.
Do I believe that medicine really helps them? Not that much; it helps with their image which is a very big thing though. Does it biologically change their gender? No, but that's only until we manage to create gene therapy that edits their DNA. Does it make people who have gender dysphoria deal with life better? Of course.
And yes, there are people who pretend to be trans (trans-trenders) and there's also a lot of confused people who make a very big choice while under emotional duress. But that simply means we need to get better people to diagnose actual issues from underlying ones. Not go "hurr durr, I say I right, therefore I right".
There are lots of conditions for which modern medicine can only treat symptoms. Virtually every neurological condition, whether it's something physical like Parkinson's, or "mental" like depression, is in this category.
So is gender dysphoria.
People like Walsh can't accept that just because we can't body-swap does not mean we can't offer and provide therapy that helps trans people accept themselves. Just like we have therapy to help bulimics accept _their_ bodies.
Professor Stick, I think it's great you're countering the bigot mw! No one but YOU can know how YOU feel! But mw thinks he's preaching gawd! Yet he doesn't even know his own myth! As usual! I've seen him show his ignorance about christianity, it's about the same as his ignorance about human sexuality. 👍🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌
So the studies looking at what Matt wants to happen show it being very harmful. And the studies looking at gender affirming care, show it to be beneficial.
Oh, but there's no long terms studies... and lets ignore that there can't be long term studies yet...
Moving the goal posts much Matt?
Kudos to the questioner actually facing Matt like that. That takes courage.
The amount Matt knows, and cares about what helps someone like that questioner to be mentally healthy, could fit on a postage stamp.
Well at least Matt wasn't vocally calling for stoning gays. He's apparently satisficed with abuse and harassment.
There are long term studies and the longer the timeline the better the quality of the study and the more people they can get data from 5+ years later (post-SRS)...
The worse transition appears to be.

Quality of life of treatment-seeking transgender adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(a peer-reviewed paper)
Mental health
"Findings from the meta-analysis of mental health-related QoL suggest that the QoL of transgender people is significantly poorer than that of the general population, with a medium to large effect size (standard mean difference = 0.78). The subgroup meta-analysis including only the samples of transgender people who were classifiable as post-hormonal treatment found that transgender people post-CHT still had lower mental health-related QoL than the general population. This difference was not significant and the effect size was reduced (standard mean difference = 0.42). The possibility that treatment is associated with improvements in mental wellbeing is supported by the findings from the small number of longitudinal studies in this review. These found that both CHT and GAGS improve QoL. However these results need to be treated with caution, as the only study to employ a longer term follow-up reported that after an initial improvement in QoL at 1-year post-GAGS, scores tend to steadily decrease in the following years until reaching 5-years post-GAGS, when QoL is lower than at pre-treatment. During the first year post-GAGS people tend to report overly enhanced QoL, which may not be representative of a long-term picture of patients’ psychological status and QoL. The improvement in QoL experienced by transgender people at short-term could be attributed to relief at being able to live as the experienced gender. Additionally, as QoL in the general population has been shown to decrease with age, a decline in these scores is somewhat expected as time passes."
Conclusion
"As all systematic literature reviews, this study is also limited by the amount and quality of the published literature available. Future studies should employ more robust methodologies, which explore QoL in a more homogeneous population and using matched control groups.
Despite the limitations of the published literature, this review concludes that overall transgender people display poorer QoL than the general population, particularly pre-GAT, and that QoL improves once people are on CHT.
When specifically looking at the different dimensions of QoL (vQoL, sex-related QoL, and body image-related QoL), findings of the systematic review suggest that transgender people display poorer QoL than the general population, independent of the QoL domain investigated. As per general QoL, all dimensions of QoL have been shown to improve post-GAT. However, as the effect of GAT is linked to gender, a more positive vQOL was found for transgender men than transgender women at post-GAT, whilst opposite findings were obtained for sex-related QoL.
As long-term follow-up studies are limited in numbers and methodology, more studies are required exploring long-term QoL. This information may aid the development of support and interventions aiming at increasing resilience for those at risk of a poor QoL post-GAT."
There are other studies that suggest similar poorer long-term outcomes and worse satisfaction post-SRS, but this one was long and I have other things to tend to.
I was wondering why it had a conversion therapy thing on the page
Anyone that watched that video, with Walsh saying ignorant language, and come away with the idea that Matt Walsh made sense, or is in anyway a person that should make public appearances like this. Should take a deep look at themselves! Telling people a load of shit, calling professionals liars, and yeah there probably are liars that are professional. I mean, Matt is a great example. But him speaking on a subject where the only experience he has on the subject is being a UA-cam content creator is nonsense. I give that young adult props for asking that question. I'll be the first to admit that the transgender situation is something I've only begun to understand. I used to think that homosexual feelings were a result of sexual abuse by a same sex perpetrator, along with not having someone to teach them sex education. I never had any issues with homosexual actions, I just thought that was how one eventually becomes homosexual. But when I actually dug down and researched info, and the mother of my kids asking me a really important question- "How would you treat your son if he told you he was homosexual or he said he didn't feel right, that he has female likes and wants, but looks like a boy, with a penis, and so forth?" Asking me that, actually forced me to find out. Anyone that thinks they know what is right with zero education, or didn't do any research on the subject, are making a huge mistake and will be damaging the relationship with their kids. When looking on the subject of what transgender even is, that was another thing that opened my mind. Thats when I looked at the world of bigotry, hate, and how religions influence those emotions with a massive hate of my own. And that we need more people to speak out about it more than ever.
Just beginning the vid. I like Walsh to be honest, and I mostly agree with him on the topic of transgender. That being said, if this isn’t click bait and he actually does than he’s completely fucked. We understand why people are gay fairly well now a days.
Walsh literally knows nothing about trans issues. He doesn't understand what causes someone to be transgender. He doesn't understand the effects of any therapies, whether hormonal or surgical.
What exactly does he say that you agree with?
I feel uncomfortable with Stick's assertion of "who you idenify as is what you truly are". The "feeling" should give you the freedom to express yourself the way you want, but it literally cannot change the biological reality of who you are. It's kind of like if you identify with a tiger and cosplay as a tiger you will never be a tiger. I think the main problem is the deep insecurity and sadness that this trans person feels in being the sex they were born as, and we as a society should make them feel comfortable expressing themself in the way that they feel happy. I would like to know why that person was so sad at being a boy or being treated like a boy, and how they were treated (were they in a religious family?). You can see the deep emotion just in their question. I think it is a complicated subject and Walsh comes across as too much of a judgemental, cocky asshole, when the topic requires more nuance that probably is neither Walsh right wing or Woke left wing. I think there are some people who are genuinely trans but I believe a lot of them are simply confused or even mentally ill. Internet social media just makes it worse because people can form groups of like minded people. Telling kids at an early age that you can be anything you identify as is going to lead to lots of problems.
This is just false. Gender identity is what you identify as and that's literally who you are. Gender unlike sex isn't biological concept but social one.
That's why your tiger analogy doesn't work. Your identity is irrelevant to your species.
And being progressive or tolerant isn't causing mental issues or "transing" children. That's just a right wing talking point based on zero evidence. In fact evidence we have contradicts this.
A problem here is you can't accept that the mind is part of the body.
@@CzAnimations But identifying as the opposite gender doesn't make you the opposite sex
@@rvens8885 Well, you’re not the opposite sex, but you’re the opposite GENDER.
Fun fact : Sex and Gender don’t mean the same thing anymore. Sex is physical (Genes, and private parts) while Gender is in the head (Man, woman or other.)
@Rayrard 🤦♂️ You think gender dysphoria can be fixed with meds and torture chambers don’t you…
Seriously, being mentally ill means you have a mental illness. (obviously)
Mental illness ruin people. They can damage their brain, and even make them do terrible things.
Trans people don’t get any effects from it other than being happier and feeling better about themselves. I don’t want to sound like an ass, but this point of view is genuinely stupid. 🤦♂️

And since we don't know how to alter specific things in the brain, why not go with the thing that actually shows to be working

I have no idea how Conversion Therapy happens. If this therapy was properly developed by psychologists like they eventually did for many others,guiding and training others then of course it would work
The problem is nearly all of conversion therapists starts with religion shaming right away which is against the basics of therapy even if its depression and anxiety.
With research the mental health professionals couldve helped gender dysphoric people but they ultimately choose not to
The problem is that conversion therapy is driven by an agenda rather than by data or anything else substantive. It wants people to be a certain way rather for them to be healthy (within reason) regardless of how "be healthy" lands for them.
It's hard to remove the religious rhetoric from being its basis because you're implicitly asking "how can I make these people be not-that" instead of "what are the problems and how do I solve these problems?"
Matt Walsh supports getting paid.
