    I'm so glad I came across your UA-cam channel. I've watched at least ?20? of these and have shared them. I work in mental healthcare, and it's appalling what is being done to these children and vulnerable adults. And I'd be fired for even suggesting something remotely like anything that you brave people talk about. Anything other than joy that children are having their minds and bodies and families sacrificed to this ideology.

    “Fraud” is DEFINITELY better than “public nuisance” because fraud garners treble damages in successful civil suits (that is, three times the payout).

    I generally restrain from saying 'gender'. Particularly since the term is so convoluted now. However, Bret and Heather say in their book, ' gender is the expression of sex'. And okay sure. I can subscribe to that. With that in mind, if you're male but you express femininity, that does NOT change your sex. Period. nuff-said. 🐿

      I agree - and further . . .
      Expression of sex can only be described as sterotypes . . . the very stereotypes that the people pushing this insanity are trying destroy.

      That's as stupid of a definition of "gender" as any other (not surprising given the source). Outside of the grammatical usage (which doesn't really exist in English) and as a puritanical euphemism for "biological sex", there's just no useful meaning to the word. People of sound mind should never use it.

    • @richarddoan9172
      @richarddoan9172 Місяць тому +5

      Yes. There's no behavior that changes your sex, whether or not someone arbitrarily labels that behavior "gender". ("Gender" was just a synonym for "sex" for centuries in the English language, until the 1960s.)

    • @Ruyolr
      @Ruyolr Місяць тому

      Interesting, I mostly agree.. but I wonder does that mean if you are a man but present feminine your gender is still male because it is being embodied by a male body? It seems like a grey area with that line of logic

  • @ArtU4All
    @ArtU4All Місяць тому +15

    From a medical record at a government medical facility: “sex: male; gender: woman when dressed, man when undressed”. About a year ago.

    I think we should simplify and just basically state the gender is the same as the biological sex and all this gender fluidity is just differences in personality

    • @ohsweetmystery

      @lovelover4408 Місяць тому +7

    Such a fraught term at this point but I agree it can still have some use, outside of laws, regulations and other legal documents.

    • @willodinga14
      @willodinga14 Місяць тому

      in Dutch gender is translated to 'geslacht' which means 'mans privates' and also chicken been 'geslacht/slaughtered'. so I don't have nothing special with the word 'gender' and always relate 'geslacht/slaughtered' to the chicken because that's the most common explanation......... 🤷‍♀️

    I watched a clip of Olsen Kennedy a couple of years ago where she was passionately arguing that minors can be consent to mastectomy because they make choices like which college to go to. She also asserted that mastectomy isn't a big deal because, if the child changes her mind, she can just get breast implants later.

    • @Gingerblaze
      @Gingerblaze Місяць тому

      Quite a non scientific non common sense assertion Kennedy Olsen makes, about simply getting ready implants to replace natural female breasts. treating them as nothing more than aesthic appendages, and not a vital organ and how we feed and sustain our offspring.

    • @roserowson8270
      @roserowson8270 Місяць тому

      So so many issues with that but one not often picked up on is the disrespect for mother's and the female body and just seeing it as a sex object. If the purpose of breasts is too look good for men maybe a implant would work. If they are for feeding babies that would be useless.

  • @luisostasuc8135
    @luisostasuc8135 2 дні тому

    One of the things that has been difficult with this discussion is that gender is treated by gender ideologists the same way the religious use the word spiritual: they commandeer it and make the expectation that --use of the word means accepting their worldview -- such that speaking about things in an analytical way presupposes a position.
    It's a little tough to describe, but it is made difficult on purpose. For example, if you want to talk about an induced spiritual experience like how fasting or the church music experience can lead people to feel what is commonly described as "being close to god" or seeing visions, it's made difficult to talk about it without seeming as though you're taking the position that all spirituality requires a god to exist.
    Anyway, keep on doing what you do! It's glaringly apparent that you're approaching this from a place of not trying to hurt people, and that's a tough line to walk.

      You could just get the UA-cam-generated transcript of the conversation, and then read it while listening to the video.
      To get the transcript, follow these steps:
      Under the video, click on "more," and then scroll down until you see "Show transcript." Click on it. When the transcript has appeared beside the video, click on the three dots at the top of the transcript (to the right of word "Transcript"). Then click on "Toggle timestamps," which will remove the time stamps from the transcript.
      Then drag your mouse across the whole transcript, until you have it all highlighted. Keep going all the way down to the end of the transcript - or keep dragging until the scroll icon (which moves up and down the vertical scroll bar, on the right side of the transcript), which moves down as you drag down, jumps up (this means you have reached the end). Then copy it (Ctrl+C), and paste it into a word-processing program like Microsoft Word.
      Lastly, remove the paragraph breaks from the pasted text: Do Ctrl+F to bring up the Search dialogue box. In the lower-left corner of that box, click on "More," then click on "Special" and select "Paragraph Mark" from the menu. In the "Find what" field you now have this: ^p. Click on Replace, and put a blank space into the "Replace with" field. Then click on "Replace all." This will remove all the paragraph breaks in the pasted text and replace them with a blank space. Now you have the whole text of the conversation in one big block - with a few transcription errors (plus UA-cam also censors words like "fuck", etc.).

    • @joane24
      @joane24 2 дні тому

      For me ot wasn't the speed but that she used a lot of mental shortcuts, without much explaining the context for lay listeners such as me, who knows next to nothing about law. And sometimes it was hard to follow because she was also doing some digressions etc.

    First, Glenna says language is everything. Then, when Stella wants to explore the terms masculine and remind as descriptors for majority of male or female behaviors, both Glenna and Sasha looked frustrated and impatient. When Glenna said there are better terms and Stella pointed out that sex has been conflated to mean intercourse, they would not finish the thought with her. So frustrating for me to watch this dismissive behavior about a fundamental issue in this whole situation.

    There's nothing funny about legal information, legal complexity, etc. Levity undermines the advocacy (IMO). The issues are not that complicated - lawyers can certainly explain them in ways that an Irish psychotherapist can understand. For what it's worth, it may be that your commitment to using "gender" (instead of sex-based stereotypes) will have to be dispensed with in order to protect "sex" under law for minors and women. Yes, the podcast may need a new name.
    Your enthusiasm at finally having access to an American attorney is understandable, but much of the conversation was under-prepared (considering that it was about law) and therefore premature and ill-advised (considering the legal stakes).
    Sincerely, a disappointed (legal professional) supporter of your work in general.

    Very informative session, but Ms. Goldis undermines her credibility, while at the same time insulting thousands of public servants, when flippantly stating that Dr. Rachel Levine is an Admiral in "some service nobody's ever heard of". There are 8 Uniformed Services in the United States, one of which is US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Levine is an Admiral in the USPHSCC; Dr. Vivek Murthy is a General -hence the title Surgeon General and the uniform. You may not like or agree with Levines policy positions -but don't denigrate the office, or the thousands of members of the USPHSCC who serve this country.

      I'm not American, but I think attitudes like this are part of the reason why so many former Democrats voted for Trump in this last election. There's this tendency in the party to go on and on about how important democracy is, but then they turn around and ostracise, bully and discredit anyone who decides to vote differently than them.
