Phil Donahue, Anti-Trans* Violence, 1991
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- "We are a very immature nation." A challenging Commercial Break from VINTAGECOMMERCIAL. Highly lurid, transphobic, and antagonistic Phil Donahue interview of transgendered, transsexual, transvestite, and otherwise trans* guests on his talk show, all of whom work in the sex industry. One guest of color recounts a violent beating received by a famous person. Another guest recounts experiencing other acts of violence. There's a variety of attitudes and opinions expressed regarding violence against sex workers, the responsibilities of sex workers, and the role of homophobia/transphobia in disclosure. There is also a lack of appropriate gender, sex, and sexual orientation discussion. As Phil Donahue himself said, finally, at the very end, this is an exchange filled with insecurity, fear, and ignorance.
A lot of the language used is offensive.

Please - APPLAUSE FOR THE LAWYER! He is WAY ahead of time and his client is ever so lucky to have him ❤️🔥
I agree.. He was an advocate for trans persons before the word transgender was even a word. And this case is about Danny assaulting and battering another human being. It does not, and should not matter what gender the other person is. All persons should have equal protection living in a civil society with laws. We already know Danny was a drug addict and was known to assault and batter persons. And he probably had targeted this trans person specifically, knowing that (or thought) he could get away with assaulting and battering them and thinking he could get away with it because society had been treating them as second-class citizens. Thankfully, society has evolved and trans persons are getting more and more of the rights that all persons enjoy in our society.
@@manp1039 the word has been around since 1965, get cultured.
no it was not.. they used transexual transvestite and cross-dresser (at best) back then. And those words have negative connotations and/or do not correctly describe the transgender experience and identity. The word Transgender started to become used around the mid 1990s.. first in places like San Francisco. And it slowly spread.. It was not untill after around 2010 that many "Gay and Lesbian" organizations started to add the word Transgender to their names. And the expression LGBT,, and the T in particular did not get spoken untill the late 1990s and early 2000s.
@@manp1039 Christine Jorgensen started using the term "transgender" rather than "transexual" in the mid nineteen-sixties because she felt the word "sexual" limited the scope of gender identity. She said this in a recorded interview which is available on UA-cam.

He.
…?
god this is so dehumanizing....they’re so curious about these woman’s life but are so ignorant and rude throughout the entire process of her just answering the questions that THEY want to know
These aren't woman per se.
Yet they're taking on a feminine kind of role &I empathize with them.
It's not a her, it's a man! Period....
Leave the name of the mighty out.
Your comment is dehumanizing & rude too.
@@increible3894 huh?
They’re dehumanizing themselves.
Silver deserved their own talk show, what a special human being. Wherever you are, I hope you are happy.
I'd watch that!
I saw Silver and the others on a Jenny Jones show. I’d love 💕 to know how they’re doing today.
Silver is pretty and smart .mona is beautiful .Its a shame when people are open about being different that they should be attacked .Yes silver looked more like a woman than the girl who verbally attacked her
20:52 Granny: This shit is better than the retirement home. 😂
The great Phil Donahue! His show was one of a kind and ahead of its time!
SUCKS!!!! THE WORST
I'm not sure I would use the phrase "ahead of it's time", with the type of comments made...
Lets lighten the mood....is it me or Donahue looks like a grown version of the kid in "A Christmas Story" ? 😂. If He say he wants a cowboy shooter toy rifle for Christmas i be no good....

Back in the day, people could defend themselves without canceling anyone.
no, cancelling people teaches them a lesson.
We should not cancel please
No more silencing people
You can just choose to not listen. But silencing is wrong.

@@wettaloca2923so people can freely say all they want? And not face any consequence?
Those people have no right booing at Silver after those girls outright called her and the other ones "sick." Really nasty how Silver was just defending herself from that and she gets booed for it.
He is sick. He’s spreading diseases to married men who are in turn, infecting their innocent wives.
Silver is a he. He knows it. He wasn't crazy. Just liked to dress like a woman
I would love to know how all the guest of this show are doing today.
I always wonder that. even the audience.
Yes, me too. What happened to Darius Barney and Silver? I know that Silver was on Jenny Jones after this show. I think it was a few years later.
Shelby Miller, what do mean by ur comment x by the way 2 of them r transvestite
She means that life for trans people is tough so average life expectancy is only 35. You can read right?
Princess Taboo i know this is REALLY late but can you link it to me i’m interested
Exotica died from Aids. Its so sad. She was gorgeous.
He
"Mona" was on an episode of Taxicab Confessions back in the 90s. I wonder what happened to her. Sadly, as this was 30 years ago, her chances of still being alive are quite slim. Any update on her?
I would like to know where all of them are now.
@@Cloud48004 dead
@4dagurls how did you learn this? What was Mona's real name? RIP ♥️
I like Silver a lot. She stands up for herself very well without being hateful. I love how she shuts down the questions she has no time for.
Its a gentleman not a she

@@elgeneralxx SHE/ HER😊 whether you like it or NOT she's a WOMAN have a blessed day. 😊
This is interesting. Lived through this time. Understood talking to transgender/gender non conforming people in this manner was cruel and disturbing. Though looking back? There was no social media world for people to hear the stories of transgender/gender con conforming people. So you’d only have the talk show circuit as the only window to the outside world to the community for these people. Now am happy that things have changed. One thing that younger generations than myself need to realize is that…in order to get to the knowledge we have today is to have gone through times like this in the past. We’re always reinventing ourselves. People like these transsexual sex workers were invisible in decades before this. Now it’s great we can have what’s now called positive representation. But at this time, seeing it on TV in any way was at least visibility. But again, glad we’ve evolved from such presentations of trans people.
Very well said
I am 🏳️⚧️ and remember the time before the internet. I was 4 when this aired. I'm grateful for the internet because I probably would've unalived myself without the community. I'm pretty sure shows like this and Jerry Springer kept me closeted longer. I remember seeing the hate on TV as a child and trying to suppress everything. Trans (and honestly all queer people) were the modern day sideshow on the talk shows for far too long. It's the only time I'd ever see people like me on TV. It was traumatic in the 1980s and 90s.
Silver's point was "know the risks,its not right but it can happen,you gotta know the risks involved in the things you do."
Knowing the risks doesn't excuse the crime. In today's society being a teacher there's a risk of a student coming in a shooting you, I'm not gonna say, you knew the risks, don't prosecute the shooter.
You need a moral compass.
@@dans9463 i dont even remember what this was about this is a year old comment lol
Phil's theme song soothes my soul.
It is smooth and jazzy.
Mine too. Takes me back to being a little kid in the 90s
I thought it was just me. It takes me back to when I was a kid. This was on our local CBS in the Twin Cities at 8 AM. I only got to watch it summer break but I remember getting to watch it cold winter mornings when I got my yearly cold. Whenever I hear the theme song, I think of how I imagined when I grew up and we would have a wonderful Alberta Clipper shut down the freeway system and all offices would be shut down and I could sit in my fuzzy slippers and robe, drinking my morning coffee, watch Donahue and then go back to my warm bed when it was over. 😂
@16:30 “Well, when I first heard about the story, I waa.. Danny Bonaduce, who the hell is that? Somebody from Brooklyn?”
😂😂😂😂
That killed me.
On March 9, 1990, he was arrested while attempting to buy cocaine in Daytona Beach, Florida. Bonaduce was there to host an event for D.A.R.E., an anti-drug campaign aimed at children.[29] Bonaduce was eventually fired from WEGX.[30] He later became the morning shift DJ at KKFR-FM in Phoenix, Arizona.
On March 31, 1991, Bonaduce was arrested in Phoenix for beating and robbing Darius Barney, a transvestite prostitute; "authorities said the victim suffered a broken nose and a cut to his face."[31] Soon after, he was fired from KKFR. In July of the same year, Bonaduce pleaded guilty to reduced charges. Amongst his punishments, he was required to pay Barney's medical bills.[32] Later that same year, Bonaduce returned to WEGX in Philadelphia
i think you'll also find he's been on Dr Phil show a few times and been violent all way through his adult life...he's a disgusting human being and caused a lot violence against his wife
I knew Mona when he was Pedro. He went to my elementary school and I ran into him a few times through the years up to high school. It's true he always wore women's clothing. At the time of this show's airing I was in high school, I think Pedro had dropped out or otherwise no longer attending school. It was tough watching my classmates reactions the day after this aired but bear in mind, these were immature high schoolers in 1991. And of course we all wondered which gym teacher he slept with!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Phil Donahue was always my favorite day time show....he is excellent at showing different views to a subject and popular public opinion. So interesting to watch this show years and years later.

This was an amazing lawyer I literally had tears by watching how old the interviewer implemented such a harsh rhetoric against the trans/ individuals
R.I.P., right audio channel.
Exotica has nerve to victim blame the person attacked. Talking about she looks real. The clients know the girls are trans, if that's what they look for.
I think it was just the time and place. Exotica and silver (and Mona I think as well) were NY. That’s just city mentality. Also, territorial because they didn’t know Barney from Arizona personally. I think that’s all it really boiled down to in their mindsets. I’m sure they’re attitudes changed over time as well. Not even a few years later New Yorkers really started banding together against violence towards lgbtq people.
@@williamgeorgelopezjunior8533 silver is from West Virginia
None of these men are “girls”. Stop it. 🙄
They are not lbgqrst people. They are freaks. Thank you very much.
It seemed like they were on Donahue to garner free publicity and promote their 'services'. Part of that is ensuring confidentiality for their clientele.
how about putting Danny in prison
A woman is an adult human female ...
A woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.
@@brianborchardt7198 you can't use the word you're defining in your definition. you might use similar words but never the actual word youre defining because then it's not a definition. you also can't identify into something that cannot be defined
So that's what a woman is, eh?
@@erikbunty2016you tell me. It's culturally and socially defined with much variance throughout the world.
Silver mentioned she had a difficult upbringing / not upbringing... I hope wherever Silver is that happiness is a part of daily life. The last woman's comment was belligerent: it takes a village to raise a child, and it's attitudes like hers which make life a living hell for a lot of children. Hopefully that ignorant woman has since grown up. Peace.
Yeah the woman who made the comment about these people are SICK IS A VERY IGNORANT PERSON HER AND HER GIRLFRIEND BOTH HAVE NO WHERE TO TALK ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT THEM. LOL
Laughing at the commercials, remembering them as a kid how "WOW" they were. And now looking at them and it's like who tf bought this sh!t.
The audience member at 35:24 doesn't make sense to me; he think its noble if Groves takes the case for a crap ton of money but not noble if he's doing it because Danny Partridge is famous; neither is noble so what point is the audience member trying to make; the actual reason Groves took the case as mentioned in the beginning of the show because trans people are still people and overlooked because they are viewed as less than in society; Groves is not in it for the money, he's a person for fair treatment of all people.
Well Bonnadouchey NEEDED to have leagal action taken up against his shit-ass.
SOMEONE had to represent this assault victim so what's the point of criticising ??
" what offend you, reveals you"
How does a person from West Virginia have a New York accent 😂

Silver was quite the storyteller.
silver is cute , seems like a good person
She's witty and cute. I hope she's well and found happiness and what she sought.
She's alive?
I wonder what happened to Darius Barney and Silver. I saw Silver on Jennny Jones a few years later and she was now saying she was a transsexual and felt like a female, not a transvestite.
transsexual wasn't even a term back then. i wonder if a lot of the transvestites were actually transsexual.
@@terilara8878 The language around being trans has changed a lot over the years, due to LGBT activists who wanted to make them more socially acceptable. You never hear someone call themselves transvestites anymore, and very few will say they are a man who dresses as women sometimes. Now, the narrative is about being born in the wrong body, and they introduced new terms like gender dysphoria. Nowadays, most young gay people identify as trans, particularly lesbians. Its interesting how the language has changed, and its still changing.
@@terilara8878 transsexual existed back then since 50s look at Christine Jorgensen and April Ashley.
@@tubester4567 most transvestites are heterosexual males not homosexuals. And many femenine homosexuals are transsexual because gay is western construction. We live better lives as women
@David Vanpatten shut up straight dude
It would have been funny if Danny Bonaduce walked in at the end.

“But you don’t look like a woman you look like a beast” yassss MISS SILVER 👏 this audience should be ashamed of themselves. I understand the times were different but this is so inhumane. I feel the hate radiating off the screen. It’s truly sad and these girls are only opening up and telling you about themselves. Shame on the audience and anyone that agrees with them! (Except for the last 3, they were nice lol)

Is the audio on this video almost inaudibly quiet for anyone else? I can barely understand anything.
yes I have it on headphones and they are nearly turned all the way up.
Normal audio on the left. Right is almost nothing
Same l carn't hear it very well eighter
Listening on my Samsung Galaxy Note and it is normal
What I don't understand is why Phil is not taking about HIV. I am sad for any prostitute's. Maybe they could not get a regular job. But my God the disease, the violence they themselves are at risk.
You need to watch more of his shows. Phil was (is) very liberal and progressive. No one in the 80s was interested in and discussing LGBTQ issues. That's where Phil came in. Groundbreaking.
Phil absolutely talked about HIV back in the 80s.
@II-wx4kv He's not gay.
@II-wx4kv Same reason I'm not a woman but I care about women's rights. It's called being a human.
They do bring it up
Old Phil!!! Off the chain!!!
I'm not offended by any of the language. We live in such a soft, crybaby world today.
The youth these days will never know ☕️👀
everything was better in the 90's! even the ads!
At least there were a few standards remaining in society
Enjoying Phil’s old programs, a pro at interview. This one angered me. If Bonaduce had such a beautiful loving wife, what was he doing picking up someone else for a sexual encounter, trans or not.
Silver is hilarious, would have made a great contestant on Ru Paul's drag race.
The content of This is so gross, and it has Nothing to do with Trans people or sex work…
As an aside, DB was a VERY “close” friend of my Uncle in the 80’s…my very closeted and very gay uncle…close enough DB would call my MOM for advice…
Knowing what I know, I am comfortable in saying that I am VERY CONFIDENT THAT HE KNEW THIS PERSON WAS ASSIGNED MALE AT BIRTH AND POSSESSED MALE GENITALIA DESPITE PRESENTING AS FEMALE…
Mainly because I’m confident that he wouldn’t have been interested if this person was NOT in possession of male genitalia…
Look at that trend setter with that winged eye 👁
At least they didn't think they were women back then. Just men in dresses.
I just finished watching the Jenny show and I wonder whatever happened to Silver I know Exotica has apparently passed due to AIDS related complications
Where's Silver today?
Stephanie Jade that's what im trying to know. Some people were saying that most of them passed but can't seem to back that claim.
The commercials are heartbreaking. What the hell happened to our world? I was in my 20’s in 1991. I could never have imagined in my worst nightmares what the US has become today.
I was born in 91' so I was obviously too young to see this but I remember hearing terms like "transvestite" and how normal offensive terms like this were used in the late 90s and even early 00s. For all the negative things social media has brought to the world, it has helped educate people on topics like this.
I was born in 79. Transgender wasn’t a term back then. Transvestite at that time was not considered a slur as it was just what they were designated as. The offensive word back then was quite simply “Tranny”.
Silver's personality, mannerisms, voice and hand gestures is giving much Joy Bahar from "The View".
You’re blind and deaf, clearly.
How can you look at that face (Silver) and not see that that is not a man?
who cares
Is this silver from jenny jones show
Dr Ruth and Gilbert Godfrey was an unexpected highlight.
These people were also on Jenny Jones’s show! I’d love to know how they’re doing now!
The Hawaiian/Asian looking one died of AIDs. Not sure of the others...
I don't believe Danny would be reduced to soliciting ANYTHING from this person.
This is what you call a talk show.
Whether we want to admit it or not. This society still has a problem with the gay and trans community😡
What sickens me hete is how tjey ALL seem to be missing the most important point. Whether someone is He,She, They, whethervtheyre a crossdresser, Transvestite, Transsexual woman , CIS man or woman , NOBODY deserves to be beaten like this. Silvet says " Thsts the risk you taje as part of the job". Yes, it is. Butbit doesnt make it rigjt. Statemrnts like that and that kindbof attitudevis exactly what lets predators feel tjey have a right to beat call girls and likewise leads to the cops being apathetic towRds victims of serious assaults.
Some may say that a man or woman cheating on a partner is a heinous crime. So then, should we just allow a man to beat his wife to a pulp cos she cheated? No freaking way!
Even if this celebrity did genuinely mistake the TV for a CIS woman. He still had no right in beating them like he did . The lawyer was thebonly one here who seems to have any concept of this.
Im.a Transsexual woman who is also a prostitute and even 33 years on from when this show was shot, i still worry about being attacked. Trans women ae being murdered all the time and when it comes to call girls, thetes lots of women i know, both trans and CIS women who have suffeted unspeakable things during atttacks.
If your well to do daughter was walking home and got badly beaten, youd be screaming for justice. Yet, if its a trans woman or an escort, then all of a sudden "they wrre asking for it" or they "brought it on tjemselves"
No! Its not on!
Nobody should be assaultd likevthis andbit disgusts me thst so msny peole even think this is up for debate let alone those who think its justified.
Its all too easy for thosecwho ae privelleged enough to have choices to siyvthete looking down on sex workers. But many people are prostitutes because they have no other options and lets not forget the supply on demand. Peoplecarevall too quick to judge call girls yet theyre quick rnough to use us for their own sexual satisfaction..
NOBODY SHOULD LIVEVIN FEAR OF BEING BEATEN like this and just because it happensva lot to call girls, it doesnt justify it like Silver here seems to be implying.
Anyway, Transvestite men like him just do it as an exploitation of that demand. They can easily just get changed and go get a job elsewhere. Notvso easy for TRANSSEXUAL women like us who DONT haveva choice of who we are. Weree born this way, and for manybofbus, prostitution is thebonlynoption we have to survive. Ive been attacked, had death threats, houndedvin my home. Many of us are even murdered. But we dont have the option of just giving the job up.
SEX WORKETS ARE HUMANS &WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAFETY, Just like everyone else. It just disgusts mr thst people even hsvevto debate this fact
Wonder whatever happened to Silver
I feel so bad for Silver. He was asking her so many personal and potentially tirggering questions. He's asking about truly traumatic shit, and she clearly looks uncomfortable, I feel so bad for her.

@@fredrickfrederickson5246 ???
Silver should be on the stage! This is two different shows! I loved this show and I looked up Jenny Jones, they are performers it’s a totally different energy
He’s probably dead by now.
From the audience, the lady in the overalls, the man in the light pink shirt, and the lady in the black shirt and baseball cap at the very end were making good points.
Put the T slur aside. Put all the dated, insensitive comments aside. I am loving the sex workers on the panel. Sex work has been around forever, and as a choice is fine for those who choose it. Sex trafficking is definitely a problem.
I observed that Mona is a likely a trans woman even having had upcoming gender affirming surgery. It seems like the other people might dress as a woman, but identify as men. There is a difference sometimes.
For context, I was born female, but don't identify as either a man or a woman...non-binary. I have nothing but love for those who dare to be themselves.
Last, but not least. I'm glad that the guest had the courage to hold the Danny accountable for his actions.
Silver- what an amazing, honest human being. I hope he/she is doing well 🙏 💓
We've come a long way...still a long ways to go though ❤
Be kind ❤
Hats off to Silver for checking Phil Donahue, and correcting him…
Phil: “So do your tricks know that you’re a male perso”
Silver: “CLIENTS”
Phil: “oh, oh I’m sorry”
I genuinely LOL’d, and there’s not much about this video to laugh about.
Semantics
Silver was victim-blaming. The lawyer, Richard Groves, was the most modern-thinking person there.
The ignorance in these comments show how the same ignorance in this video hasn’t changed a bit
So, silver was studying psychology and feels what the woman in the audience said about the cycle of SA was a myth.ugh. It’s not a myth. Just because it didn’t contribute to your life decisions doesn’t mean it won’t for others.
It’s true that SA can affect someone’s feelings about sex, in all sorts of complex ways. It’s a myth that queer people were all SA’d or come from dysfunctional families.
Psychology students typically learn about the bio-social-psych model. We humans are a complex lot. Genes, prenatal environment, culture, child- and adult-hood experiences, all interact in ways we don’t fully understand. Psychology is officially a couple hundred years old, but we still have lots to learn.
Who set the bar down?
Good video
21:38 Donahue theme song
Phil Donahue would make a good argument lawyer? 🙄
My question to the girl who called them sick. If that's how you feel, why did you come to the show?
Because the scheduled guests were Milli Vanilli but they cancelled
It's called pro bono. I don't get what the one guys issue was with it. A lot of attorneys take a number of pro bono cases. Usually for people that can't afford an attorney for themselves.
The audience loves, Silver! I think I do to. She has not had an easy life. Doing what she has to do to make a living. Good for her that she is going to school. I hope she lands a good career. I think she would make a good actor. She would be great in a crime drama. She could be unintentional comic relief. On a side note...She kinda looks like Chandler's girlfriend Janice from " Friends " lol !
I know I love Silver. She is fascinating and very likable. Very smart. I hope all her dreams have come true.
He’s hideous.
He looks like Adam Sandler
I like this Silver fella... He has common sense even if he lives in his interesting world...
Where is Silver at nowadays?
Sound sucks :(

You can tell this show is of it’s time. A lot of what Phil said, would not be tolerated this day and time. Like saying, “if a guy in a dress gets in a car with an unsuspecting man, gets what he deserves.” WOW……how sad
You clearly don't understand that Donahue's job is to reflect the thoughts of the audience no matter how prejudicial; not his personal views. Phil is extremely liberal personally but wants to tease out all views so that discussion can ensue for educational purposes. We are in a much more conservative time today than in the 1980's. Nothing is tolerated today -- only politically correct orthodoxy is tolerated - which is not a good thing leading to the incredible division we now experience.
To be fair, he was saying it from the point of view of the jury, not his own viewpoint, nor was he implying he was agreeing with it. It's just that's the reality of the time, sadly.
Darius has a lot of integrity.
He was very mean to Mona 😒
How so? For asking probing questions? That's what Phil did. If she couldn't handle it, perhaps she should have skipped the taping. Phil never coddled anyone while keeping an open mind.
@@brianborchardt7198talk shows were sadly the only representation trans people had on TV before the internet. My community was the modern day sideshow.
Silver FTW
