Sinead is brilliant. She's very insightful and an important speaker.
I caught Ms Watson on Benjamin A Boyce’s podcast. She’s very impressive. She’s beautiful, intelligent and articulate. I wish she had a podcast, my friends and I would certainly follow her. She’s amazing! She’s so honest and brave.
Yayyyy for Sinead!!
Representing The Brits with shit loads of swearing!! 😆
Luv Ya! ❤️❤️☀️☀️
@zappa-happy3271 - fuck yeah!!!! (from a fellow Brit)
@@honeychurchgipsy6😅Lol! Yes! U can rely on us Brits for uncontrollable swearing in every fucking sentence! It’s like punctuation 4 us!🤩🤩
The lawsuits haven't started yet. There is a woman lawyer in California that is starting a class action in Cali. Once the parents start suing, like they are in UK, the doctors will go diving for cover
Sinead is so funny, insightful, and humble. I appreciated where the convo went to the whole ”no one will ever love me after transition/detrans”. Part of my life as a stealthy trans man attracted to woman is having to disclose my reality to potential girlfriends. I wouldn’t say I particularly enjoy opening myself up like that, but of course it’s necessary. So far, I haven’t been rejected on it once.
You must be really handsome 😌
Love Sinead! Great interview!
Wonderful interview! Thank you all!❤️
Such interesting conversation…I am straight. I am also a person more to the right on the political spectrum, but I want to learn, because I also understand the extremes of both the left and the right, and the insane rhetoric therein. So I am cautious to not judge. I have been affected by the latest cult like theories on the left about trans… or I should say troubled, but I also understand there are people who are dysphoric, trans or gay or whatever that also need and deserve to be heard and deserve respect. They also are being affected so much by all these new extremes. These are the people I want to hear. They don’t have agendas…they just want to live like everyone else and they get lost in the social hysteria and action reaction on both sides. I have really enjoyed listening to Sinead’s wisdom and journey. Many of us have been through trauma including myself, I prefer to say “joirney” and although so different, they can make us feel isolated. I recovered and so did she. So encouraging. Her message is positive, and I feel so important regardless of who we are. Not all of us on the right are as we are portrayed…no one is in reality, and I realize that. All I want is common sense talk and I have found it here. Thank you all. 🥰.
I couldn’t agree more! You seem very well balanced, it seems like nobody has any common sense anymore.
Lovely conversation. Thanks!!
27:41 "...I've moved on with it so I have negotiated boundaries with people on an as needed basis in my life on my own terms using honesty." let me repeat that word: Honesty. How refreshing to hear that word.
and having completed the podcast, it was equally refreshing to hear an honest conversation.
Writing as an older MtF having had SRS in 2004 I notice that TG/TS subjects are all over MSM, & quite frankly I am getting sick of being flavour of the month!! Meanwhile keep up with the intelligent conversations.....
Thank You!
Rupaul's Drag Race going mainstream changed the game. Carmen Carrera was the first Transgender to demand acknowledgement.
funny that you mention Jon Stewart with regard to trans issues because I watched a YT short of him the other day, bullying the fuck out of a congresswoman ( she could have been a senator or governor), because she was (trying) to cite evidence that talking therapy was of benefit to kids presenting as trans.
He was doing the trans activists' work for them, telling her she was a bigot, hurting kids etc., and generally coming off as a bully - and it turns out that if you just do a little bit of research - she's right.
I think the message is (for all of us): you'd better be really really sure you're right before you stick your neck out and accuse someone of being a (insert insult here).
Yeah Aaron, doing well like Jazz Jennings?
i want to know if there is a transman who chose to fight their war in ukraine
The relationship bias among the people on this podcast (and in the world in general) is incredibly sad. There are lots and lots and lots of people who are alone and never find someone to share their lives with. For some, it's something that never stops hurting. For most, they learn how to live with it. A tiny minority really enjoys being alone. But please stop pretending that most people (even in relationships) eventually find their matches.
Relationships are absolutely important to human flourishing, but most of the important relationships are familial and in the community. Romantic love is fine and can be beautiful, but it's not necessary to lead a fulfilling life.
Learning how to live with it does not equate to being happy about it. And having to rely on family members that are not of the family you created(so parents, siblings, etc.) for emotional support is detrimental to growth for all people. Humans are supposed to detach from their parents(physically and emotionally) during our teens. This doesn’t mean it’s not healthy to have a relationship with our families as we age, but they should not be our primary source of any type of support. That being said, it’s becoming more and more rare for people to find partners, for very many reasons, and that’s terrible sad.
@John-tr5hn - I'm guessing you are talking about the fact that many trans people find it hard to find love? If I'm wrong then I apologise, but if I'm correct then I can only say to you that I think you are playing down the potential problems that trans people experience because many end up alienating (or being rejected by) their families, and are also vastly shrinking the pool of potential lovers.
I don't think you should play this down - it feels as if you are trying to do a what aboutism fallacy. Yes, many non trans people never find love but you cannot deny that being trans (especially if you don't pass, or you are estranged from your family and friends who maybe don't accept you as trans), can make loneliness worse.
1:12:28 - That was great . xD
I think it was really good to hear how it figures out philosophically or mentally as well. It could help people deal with things in a similar way.
28:38 - I have a lot of love for de-transitioners because I've rarely found one that was consumed by bitterness and hate for gender dysphoric people who've benefited from transition.
I just really hope we can save more people from de-transitioning. Being a de-transitioner would be the only way I could see my situation being worse in terms of gender.
29:56 - It's such a breath of fresh air every time I hear somebody else who was there too back then.
I remember that were were all STRICTLY certain and very deadly clear that there was a massive difference between sex and gender too.
Transwomen would even say that they were biologically male, but these days that seems to be so far away now.......
1:00:16 - I know this feeling really well. I'm not de-trans, but I have numerous things where I just don't think it will ever happen now.
40:06 - If I were to answer that, I'd say that I feel really good in and of myself, but I'm devastated that things have turned out like this for us all. None of any of this had to turn out like this, but things need fixing now and it's better for everybody to do it fast.
People are starting to hate us and it's worrying. I hate having to introduce myself as like "not one of the political trans ones", or "not a communist", or "not woke" or whatever else.
1:23:04 - Ahaaaaaa!
58:00 - I think that in the US comes all the way back from the Puritans that went over there to get away from the Church of England so that they could practice things as they wanted.
There is no way that the Puritans would be sticking around with anybody that didn't believe as they did.
Puritans wanted things their own pure way and not anything else at all to any degree.
Like: Friend, family, spouse? If you don't believe the same then you have to go.
We did have a lot of religious stuff here in the UK. A lot of burning between Catholics and Protestants; a lot. I'm talking like even burning young women who were near reaching their full-time. It was dark.
Now.... 59:28. The first thing to know about the British class system is that it isn't about money.
It ain't about where you end up. It's about where you started.
Ah. I just saw that the religious history of the US was mentioned!
1:24:06 - I'm so scared of this.... I told the younger people everywhere I could that things would all get shut down if everything's pushed too hard....... I don't trust that things won't go like that place in the US that's banned transition until age 26 or something....
I think that's actually more dangerous. The therapy needs to be there but people will transition if the clinic is there or not. 26. Is that an adult or not? It's insane.
It's sort of like the reverse of when a 15 year old is "tried as an adult".
Instead it's like being "tried as a child" or something.
