Thank you for bringing a conversation to the athletes themselves rather than pitting people against each other (not gonna mention names, but we know who). - trans woman & former athlete
It's not really a conversation when nobody disagree with you or challenge what you propose as "fact".
I don't think you would have liked a 30 minutes video of people agreeing that trans woman shouldn't compete against biological women.
What happened to sex and gender being different?
3 trans athletes had a conversation. you dont have to watch if you dont want to.@@gianlucaangeli2905

I would love to see an episode on Indigenous people. First Nations people, no matter what country, get so many assumptions made about them (I'm saying this as an Indigenous Australian, trust me, I know and hear it all the time). Anyway thanks for making this series!! These conversations are really important to have, especially when it comes to trans people. The fear mongering going on against trans people lately is horrendous. ❤️
That would be amazing to see on a channel with his reach! I'd love to see a discussion from indigenous people from different places (canada, australia, etc) and see how things are different and the same, depending!
I would love to see that too!
I love this idea, I am not a person of Native, Indiginous, or Inuit decent but I love hearing the stories from creators who are. There is so much lost history, stories, cuture there.
Some interesting assumptions might be "Native Americans are mostly gone" or "Pow-wows are only for Natives of a specific tribe" or "Native Americans don't believe in modern medicine" or "Native, Inuit, Indigenous, and "Indian" all mean the same thing" - these are some things I have heard Native and Inuit creators speak about before.
This would be awesome! Maybe comparing the varying experiences of each native group and their individual tribes
Hearing people who are ACTUALLY TRANS talk about this is so refreshing, because not once did any of them start getting defensive, yell, interrupt or talk over each other, or storm out of the conversation when it didn’t go their way. It’s so nice to see people who are able to have a calm and insightful discussion about this. I hope that people who praise discrimination start to watch your videos. And thank you to the man and two women who gave such a great discussion.
That's because there was noone arguing against them. This is just an echo chamber, it has no bearing on reality because there is no challenge. It's just people saying things, without any sort of challenge or debate this is just a cash grab video for y'all tik tok addicts.
@@frankcaggiano8282There’s still beauty in these kind of videos even if it’s an echo chamber.
@@timothyyu6558 for sure, but the intent is to just push the narrative and spread misinformation and emotionally charged ragebait, which I think is irresponsible.
@@frankcaggiano8282 That's literally the only chance we get to talk about it. All other scenarios we just get shut down or silenced because no one dares to listen to what we have to say.
@@wootkennziz6914 this is so patently false it hurts. Literally every second tik tok is about trans this, twitter posts about trans that, it's talked about HEAVILY on every social media platform on the planet. Let's be real here
I stopped playing sports bc Im trans. I miss playing soccer competitively, but I know that there are no co-ed sports available for me. I'm a trans man. If I played in the female team, I'd kick their asses. If I played on the men's team, I could be comfortable, but would they? Personally, I think CO-Ed sports are important. Not just competitively, but to promote healthly activities to transfolk, who may feel turned away by fitness due to how other people view them.
As a trans dude, I'm perfectly comfortable with my body I just don't like when others judge my body because it makes me anxious.
I totally agree with you @viknightingale552 ^^
And I would like to add : I'm waiting for the day where the trans category in sports would be finally created.
I agree. I see co-ed sports as a necessary step to challenge discrimination and encourage the rawness of competition.
Being a trans guy on a men's team, you would have to work 5x as hard to be at their physical levels and that'd be unfair to you. That's why I quit sports because the disadvantages were too large to ignore.
@@eddiestefon7041would you though? trans men who are on testosterone have similar hormone levels to cis men, so they'd have to put in about the same amount of effort as far as I know
i would LOVE to hear from autistic adults!!! i myself am one of them, and i feel like there’s many misconceptions about us
Same! I’m autistic and ADHD.
I came here to say the same thing!
@@saxenart Hey, me too. :)
I'm all for it as a person with Aspergers.
@@Nicky2414 aspergers is just autism. Please don’t use aspergers anymore because it’s a natzi term and an outdated term. It’s not in the dsm-5 and it’s not used to diagnose people anymore.
I love the “I Spent A Day With” series and it’s so cool to see people that have been there talk together about things they have in common! I would love to see an “Assumptions” about people with Chronic Pain or an Invisible Illness as someone who deal with both I have had so many assumptions about me that just are not right or make no sense.
I love this idea Anthony, experiencing the conversation between people with shared experiences is completely different to watching them be interviewed.
Anthony has always been great about giving people a platform to have their voices heard. This new format with multiple people conversing on a topic that relates to and affects them is just another incredible way to hear all walks of life. I'm a cis white male, so this topic (and other topics related to discrimination) doesn't necessarily relate to me personally, but I believe it's always a good move to listen to the feelings and perceptions of people that are on very different paths in order to keep an open mind and stay empathetic.
My farts are better than Anthony's farts
@@p-__ fr 👃🏻👃🏻👃🏻
I would argue that this topic absolutely relates to you! Cis white men are the primary target audience for sports. Even if you're not a sports fan, you're very likely to be around them. You can be the voice supporting trans athletes that we need!
@@Seaweedgirl1 no, people don't want mentally ill men that think they are woman in womans sports. In fact, we don't want them around woman at all.......Woman have spoken outright on this...Teams have walked off the playing felid bc of this and we support them.

I am under the assumption that this will be an amazing series
My farts are better than Anthony’s farts 💨
I see what you did there!
I adore your pfp
There is no internal feeling that is exclusive to men or women (or boys/girls), what makes anyone a man or a woman is being either male or female and reaching adulthood. Their sex and stage of physical maturity makes them men or women, not some "feeling" they have.
Believing there is some "essence" specific to males or female as far as feelings go, that can manifest "in the wrong body", is akin to a religious belief, having faith in something that is impossible to prove or disprove. The thing is though, that no one on the "trans" side can actually even explain what this "essence" is, they can't even explain it to themselves yet have convinced themselves that the feeling they have means they "are in the wrong body" - without realising that their discomfort simply stems from not realising that they view conforming to sexist stereotypes as legitimate measures of manhood or womanhood. That is why every explanation given of WHY a male "can't be a man, but is instead woman" etc. relies upon listing stereotypical stuff, or, in some cases is completely abstract and refuses to actually provide any explanation of what they mean, simply stating they "know" that what they feel means what they say it does, even though they can't actually provide a definition of it. "It's hard to explain but I know I'm right" is an attitude one constantly comes up against - a religious faith in something they can't define.
This idea that the terms "man" and "woman" carry all this baggage, sexist stereotypes, that people need to live up to or feel comfortable with is a complete fabrication coming from the "trans" side. You lot want a term to reflect aspects of your personality as well, you want to create more boxes to put people in, as you won't accept simply just being a man or a woman based on being born male or female (and reaching adulthood, obviously people are boys and girls before becoming men or women), but believe you need this "freedom of expression" to broadcast what sexist stereotypes you feel more comfortable with - thinking the world needs to adopt the sexist view you lot have (you fail to see just how much you have in common with Conservatives).
Replacing objective definitions which are based in physical reality, with entirely subjective metaphysical claims, is not logical in any way, is not morally superior, and is demonstrably harmful, not least to female rights and protections, but also to practically anyone that buys into it as it warps people's perception of the underlying issues. It hinders people in their quest for individuation, creating this false narrative of them becoming more "authentic" when the total opposite is true, they believe they need validation from others in order to be happy etc. instead of being encouraged to find more inner strength and resilience with less reliance on how people see them. Demanding to be legally recognised as the opposite sex of what one is, is in no way shape or form more authentic than accepting the physical reality one is born into.
This "woman is a social construct" thing IS the part that validates and perpetuates sexist stereotypes - woman isn't a social construct in that sense, it is a word society has chosen yes, but to describe a PHYSICAL state of being, not anyone's emotional states or where they fall on some spectrum of masculinity or femininity. There is a fundamental misunderstanding here of what the definition of man and woman means. The notion that people need to live up to sexist stereotypes of what "real men" or "real women" are, is complete fantasy. The fact that many people act as if sexist stereotypes were valid ways of measuring "real men" or real women" is a problem with the individual and their sexist bias, not with the terms themselves, as the terms themselves have none of the expectational baggage that people who internalise sexist stereotypes associate with them.
A woman, is an adult human female, it is not an "identity" or a feeling, dress, attitude etc., that whole line of thinking is regressive in the extreme. Claiming there is some "essence" to "womanhood" that also males can access, but the reality is that women do not have to look or act any certain way, or act out some ludicrously sexist idea of the “social role of a woman”, all females who reach adulthood are women regardless of how they feel or look, and the one thing they ALL have in common, the one experience they ALL share, is that they are FEMALE, they do not have to "identify" as anything, they physically ARE women because they are female.
Why should MALES be allowed access to SINGLE-SEX spaces/sports reserved for FEMALES based on their "gender identity"? If sex and gender are separate, then a male announcing his "gender identity" is "trans woman" does nothing to change their sex, they are still MALE - so why should they be afforded rights reserved for the opposite SEX? The movement is regressively sexist, and misogynistic.
Why do you believe females do not deserve any spaces free of males? What is hateful about upholding female sex-based rights that were fought long and hard for?
Believing sexist stereotypes define men and women, instead of their biological sex, is unquestionably sexist to the core, because you are saying men and women are not actually free to behave however they want but need to conform to these sexist stereotypes in order to be men or women - if you say no they don't have to act any sort of way as a man or woman, and being a man or woman has nothing to do with biology - then what are you describing by calling someone a man or woman? If you think it doesn't describe biology, and doesn't describe anything about their looks or behaviour, then what on earth are you basing defining anyone as a man or woman on??? Why would a man need to become a "trans woman" in order to be their "authentic selves", why can't they just be a very feminine man and dress/act however they want?
@@ambientjohnny you are wasting your useless breath.
Been hearing about this issue for years. Never seen a group of trans athletes actually get to talk about it directly
It's awful that this issue directly affects THEM but they never get too talk about it themselves.
Hearing them talk about the topic and make really bad arguments is helpful. They presented their best arguments and revealed how weak their arguments are. A sex-segregated category for women (individuals born with a female reproductive structure) and an open category is the only way to go.

@@liliveliz4153lol this room is full of people with the same opinion. Straight away it lost me.
@@user-il3mv5kt3s because they're the ones affected by legislation and hatred the most. Ofc it's going to be similar opinions. Plus they're the ones who are trans. This series is supposed to be a conversation (not a debate, there's a difference between the two) about assumptions and misconceptions about groups of people.
I love that it was just them in the room (no offense to Anthony lol) because it felt like u k it wasn't an interview although they were answering questions, it was almost like it was just them chatting in a safe space with no judgement and thats why i love this set up. Well done to the three of u for speaking up about it and not letting the fear of judgement get to u and well-done to Anthony for the set up ect good job!
My farts are better than Anthony's farts.
he uploaded an echo chamber conversation, didn't partake cuz this needs opposition, and Anthony only ever nods and asks questions and reiterates what someone already said or assumes what they're gonna say in next 1min
@@wasd3108Although this only had people from one side, there is a reason for that. It’s not meant to be an argument it’s meant to show a side that is often silenced. The women here are athletes who have done research on this topic and are therefore credible. It would be more of an echo chamber if they were only giving opinions and not stating facts. The whole point of Assumptions is to clear up any confusion that there is about a minority group. It would be kind of silly to include people who cannot relate and people who have different experiences.
@@bean6725 "It would be kind of silly to include people who cannot relate and people who have different experiences." experience the facts or relate to the facts? ;D Ends in bias. Love it
@@wasd3108 Yes it ends in “bias” because this is not a debate. No matter who is talking, there will always be “bias”. I’m using quotes around the word because you are getting their individual lived experiences confused with the word itself. The difference here is that you see their experience as biased. I can see your point though because everyone is more likely to form opinions based SOLELY on their own experiences. But they aren’t just doing that. If they were taking a stance but not providing any evidence/support, it would be a biased claim.
I mean.. sounds like the solution is improving technology and healthcare for trans people's affirming care.
No bc trans "affirming" care is harming and killing trans people and kids
@@carmen3091 all the evidence points to the opposite, actually.

I was so caught off guard when Anthony popped up midway through. I WAS INVESTED IN THE CONVO!
We loved the interview with DID systems. Would love to have a conversation like this between plurals, especially also with those who identify as multiple outside of the clinical context. That would help so much against stigma and pathologisation of the condition, and give people a better understanding of plural to plural interactions!

That’s because it’s not a debate
Why are sex and gender only different when it's convenient for them?
It's just a circle jerk of people agreeing with each other
@@MicrowavedFurby they are always different what do you mean?
@@lokeyartistThen how are there are no biological differences between biological women and trans women?
I don't really care about this issue since I don't watch sports but I think it would be more interesting for a discussion to take place rather than 3 people agreeing with each other for 30 minutes. It just feels like I am missing info because I don't know anything about sports.

@@noahvercetti7959and asexuals as well! But these ideas are great too
yessssssss
I’m 1:41 in and already I’m realising the the biggest issue with this whole thing is no one reads the medical data. The reason British Cycling moved to ban trans women in women’s competition was because they did further research and felt that in their sport a year of HRT was not enough to nullify the advantage an athlete got from male puberty. Further research is being conducted but it is happening in a sport by sport basis, which is fair.
It was also due to focus groups just asking people what they thought in a community that is not known for being kind towards trans women which was their main statement on the news when they announced it
There was also alot of criticism on the study they did as there is simply not enough significant data due to lack of trans women competing to reach much conclusion and outright ban and trans cyclists such as Emily Bridges were already parcipating in a study that was leading towards the opposite conclusion as their study
Also the olympic regulation has always been 2 years of hrt before competing where it is know there is little biological benefit after that time period
So it's odd they studied on one year and decided that's final and ban them no matter how long right?
He's created an echo chamber, not one of them cares to present opposing data because they all represent a single position.
It's funny how you transphobes can NEVER explain what these "advantages" actually are.
@@rachele183 are you implying that female cyclists are not known for being friendly towards trans women? Because from the Sky News announcement they only asked other women competitors.
You’re not wrong on that point, however as pointed out in this video there will probably not be any significant data for several decades if we are going just by pure numbers because their just are not that many trans athletes competing and there probably never will be going by demographics if that stays the same as it is now.
The Olympics want the individual sporting bodies to regulate their own sports with their own studies, while it has it’s own opinions it is only a competition at the end of the day not a governing body. If it was then sports like synchronised swimming and boxing wouldn’t have been single sex for so long.
If you go back and watch both the British Cycling and World Athletics announcement they both say they they are conducting further studies and open to more data. Going by the British Cycling announcement thought it seems clear to me they were most worried about legal challenges, I’m guessing from “cis” women, which is why they rushed into these bans.
@@isoutoforbit first off I’m a woman and second off I’m very open to new data and studies proving me wrong. I gain no pleasure from seeing people be excluded because sport participation is a human right.
In an argument it’s the group challenging the status quo who present the data technically, however the point of my comment wasn’t to reference any particular study but to point out that what she said was inaccurate. These governing bodies changed their policies due to doing their own studies. The same can’t be said for these states and their new anti trans laws which from what I can see are mostly political posturing.
Each sport has a duty to do their own research and come to their own conclusions. For example the ISU didn’t change their trans inclusion policy and their will be many sports that won’t have to either.
I'd love to see people with invisible disabilites who 'seem normal' or 'dont look autistic' for example, deaf or blind people who maybe dont look it I feel like theres a variety of disabilites people experience but arent always visibily that thing
I do like this type of format because it's different than usual. It's not a debate, it's more like a documentary. Hearing their points of view is appreciated.
Please do Assumptions on Trans men and Trans masc individuals. So many ppl have said shit like " your just a tomboy" "you didn't have a dad that's why..." Yada yada yada. Id love to see trans masculine and trans men talk about it.

If someone was transitioning for the sole reason to play sports and nothing else that would be weird and is not a thing. No one is putting themself through that just to maybe be better at a sport. They just want to do what makes them happy, who are we for making others feel less than because they are going through a different journey.
Their pursuit of happiness shouldn't trump every one elses.
By letting a transwoman compete in womens sports, it makes all the hard work and effort of the other women meaningless.
Feminists should be enraged!
@@AraanorCategorically wrong
I don't identify as a feminist bc that group has been corrupted too.

the important part is to get mentally ill men that think they are woman OUT of woman's sports or any area deemed solely for woman!!! There's over 4 billion woman on this planet and the mentally ill group isn't even a fraction of a half percent of that......this group of men should not be allowed to bully their way into these areas and disrupt woman's lives.!!!
Gotta admit, I havent watched the whole thing but I don't want to either. It's great to give people a platform but all they do (up to 7mins) is confirming each other. There's a lack of discussion. Put people with different opinions in a room and let them discuss. That'd be way more interesting
The "different opinions" in this case would just be people debating if these 3 people exist. Human rights isn't a debate, we should be encouraging the talk of "different opinions" as if it isn't purely about debating these peoples lives with people that have no knowledge what it means or what it is like to be trans
@@Izzy-wl7gl That's not the people I'm talking about. It's about if trans women should participate in the women's category because of biological advantages so take someone who works in that field or is highly experienced. I'm not an expert so I won't express any opinion, but an actual expert could. And even if he'd be against trans people, there would at least be a discussion.
@@sozio1124yeah, I still think it's pretty inevitable that transphobes are gonna sneak into that discussion

I’ve been watching your stuff for a long time Anthony but I’ve never actually subscribed for some reason. As a trans woman I loved this open and honest conversation that allowed people actually affected by these issues to speak on them. This video made me finally subscribe
I am amazed that Anthony has been doing this behind the scenes while working on Smosh at the same time. I am also glad that he is shedding light on this topic.
LOTS of people giving their take in these comments for a 30-minute video uploaded 12 minutes ago.
"I'm not transphobic, I'm just not comfortable watching a full video with trans people discussing their rights before forming my opinion on their entire community."
My farts are better than Anthony's farts.
Literally, they see trans people and instantly combust. They claim to not be afraid of trans people when called transphobic, yet they're too uncomfortable to sit down and watch a damn UA-cam video

If people are too afraid to even make an open category competition that doesn't limits the athlete based on their s.e.x./gender, then they're either have "no balls" or being a "pssy".

Thank god that people who would be affected by the decisions regarding this issue are the ones talking about this topic. I know next to nothing in regards to this topic, so this also gives me an opportunity to learn more about the topic, even though I’m already on their side for the equality they’re fighting for.
Try telling me you are retiring from UA-cam without telling me you're retiring from UA-cam
As a trans woman I would like to share my opinion if that's okay with the general public. I wouldn't go as far to say that trans women are cheating or that they should be banned from sports, but I do think that all athletes, trans or cis, should complete against other persons that match them in physical endurance, strength, and skill. To compete against someone that is lesser in any of these aspects is an unfair advantage over your opponent. This is why certain sports have different classes depending on the physical build of the athlete. If a cis woman has the physical build of a cis male then she should compete against those athletes. Same for a trans woman and vice versa for cis men who have a physical build of a cis woman. Same for trans men. Sports aren't really about showcasing your individuality, their about showcasing a specific set of skills. Unless it's an artistic sport like dancing or something like that, then it really doesn't matter that much.
I 100% agree as a trans guy
Facts
Thank you so much for this comment. The thing people, be it cis or trans, don’t understand is that gender and sex are and should be two seperated things. Its a biological fact that we are either born as (I mean our sex is either) female or a male and it doesn’t affect only the genetalia, but our entire development of the body. No matter what our gender is or how much somebody operated their body or shifts hormones the body remains. Its really, really not fair to have a trans woman compete with a woman if their physichal capablitiles don’t match.
Thank you yeah I was going to comment the same thing. They didn't touch on if you transitioned after puberty. The whole testing for hormones to me doesn't stop your muscles and build you got when you "were" the other sex. This is the only thing I have been lost on. If anyone can help me understand why it's ethically ok for a tans person who went through puberty the other sex doesn't have an advantage scientifically.
My problem is I know this wouldn't be implemented fairly. They aren't about to use fairness as a reason to make a basketball league for short people you know? It will just be used as a way to push marginalized people out of the spotlight like how chess and disc shooting are separated by gender when there's no biological disadvantages at play. Similarly they aren't going to make cis women take tests to see who they should compete against, it will always always be the trans women who need to take blood tests and stuff. The marginalized will always be seen as taking something that doesn't belong to them, even if they've earned it
Anthony this new series sounds amazing, I'm so excited to see what's coming up in the future! (Also I'm so excited to see Shubble)
The part that kind of - for lack of a better word, "enlightened" - me was at 16:56 when they pointed out that during the time of slavery, black men and women had to adapt to survive, thus making them stronger, faster, and more athletic. And then that fact somehow became a point of unfairness in sports, that "they were bred to be stronger and faster than white men and women." And it's like those people who banned men and women of color were saying "How dare you use the athelticism you adapted and evolved from our oppression of your race to get ahead of us in sports."
If you think the human race evolves in such a small amount of time, you’re an idiot. It takes thousands of years for change throughout generations
That's false. The reason why black people are naturally stronger is not because of american slavery, it's because they evolved in a bit of a different way. Africa is full of wild and dangerous animals and most of those people had to resort to more "barbaric" stuff in order to survive for a long amount of years. American slavery lasted about 90 years, which is not nearly enough to 'evolve' in such way. One of the reasons why black slaves were sold by their black masters to whites and carried to the USA was because of their strength and endurance. They already were stronger and more endurable, not the other way around.
@@gjbsarmeri3957 Oh. That's a good point, thank you for clarifying.
@@clockguy5436 No worries. A lot of people don't really understand that slavery is not really what shaped modern black culture and their gene pools. It's the same with asians. For generations most of for example chinese people were trained through extreme discipline and respect. That's why many modern asians are like that as well.
Loved this episode!! Would also love to see somethings discussing assumptions of unhoused/rough sleeping communities, especially after the recent statements from the UKs Home Security stating that rough sleeping in tents was a lifestyle choice (paraphrasing). I've done housing/shelter work for the last 5 yrs, and have seen similar actions taken by my own local government. I think it would be a really impactful discussion and hopefully will make people question their own assumptions about unhoused folks --- much love n thnx!
I'm interested in knowing when they talk about how trans women not having a biological advantage and trans women not having any higher testosterone than a cis woman has, are they talking about trans women who have undergone HRT? Might seem obvious, it was just never mentioned so I wanna know
Yes they are talking about trans women athletes who are on HRT.
yeah the studies they’re referencing analyze trans women who have been on E for 2-3+ years I believe, which is around the point where you’d no longer have a male body to the standards of competitive sports
My farts are better than Anthony's farts
@@GavHernI think issue is that trans women went through male puberty that means your bones are structured differently such as density, size and etc
So even after testosterone dissipates. You inherently have an advantage. Yes by decreasing testorone you will some bone density and size. However, the bone density/size will remain much higher than significant percentage of women.
@@The6th03 This bone structure and density argument is completely null because the studies that have been done conclue that there is no advantage at all, that includes any possible advantage.

Loved this episode! i'd love to hear more about disabled (visible and non visible) and neurodivergent people
As an AuDHD woman, I think society doesn't even acknowledge us sometimes, and there's lots of ableism that we experience everyday without people even realizing that they're being ableist, either in the way they speak or in the way that facilities, companies, or people's perception make it hard for us to navigate life.
Because you're literally the same as everyone else just wit ha disability. You're not special
Great job! One may be tempted to ask where Anthony is, but this time it makes a lot of sense for him to sit it out. Excellent opening episode, cheers.
The way that no one watched the video BEFORE commenting is really funny and telling like half of your so called concerns are mentioned in the video, not saying you can't have your opinions or disagree but at the very least you should listen to what you are arguing against.
But i wouldnt watch a 30 min video of transphobes discussing trans sports. Its pointless and just an echo chamber. You need a debate type setting for these
@@nozersit shouldn’t be a debate, these real people are having their humanity stripped from them and they could lose everything, while the “other side” pushes them down. if u wanna watch that go watch middle ground by jubilee they love giving oppressors a voice🥰
because you completely disagree with them. There's plenty of people who are in the middle ideologically. Some people might not think about trans people at all or even be trans supporters but still believe all the misinformation around on this topic. Here, they can hear what trans athletes have to say about it, instead of what transphobic right wing politicians have to say about it. @@nozers
@@steviek27Giving everyone a voice is important…if you don’t like that then why do you live in America when that is one of the biggest values this country was built on.
You don’t like people you see as transphobic, people who are actually transphobic don’t like trans people. If you think people you see as transphobic don’t deserve a voice then they can make the same assertion about you. Freedom of speech means freedom of speech for everyone.
What if black people weren’t allowed to speak because they were seen as uncivilized? (Much like how you see transphobes as uncivilized.)
What if women still weren’t allowed to speak or vote due to being seen as inferior?
What if scientists who believed the Sun was at the center of our galaxy weren’t allowed to speak because they were seen as lunatics?
Progress doesn’t occur in a society that censors free speech…look at North Korea.
@@wigglewaggle3606 That fact that you see the people who are actively discriminating as the same as the people who were and at time still are being discriminated against is wild. Transphobes are not the same as black people, women or scientists because while they were speaking for their rights and facts, transphobes are speaking against rights and only take parts of things to back up their claim and deny things when given clear evidence. This is like saying " but how can you see 2 sides of the debate if you don't give a Nazi a voice and only allow Jews to speak". It's not about civility it's about being downright immoral and cruel.
I would love to have a look at a conversation between people with multiple personality disorder. I’ve been curious about the differences in the ways they live their lives, and this series seems to be exactly what I need
Ooh that would be interesting. Bring back the DID people! :)

Are there any links to some of these cited studies by doctors that we can check out?

hey real question,im trying to study anatomy and get good at it,this conversation is really interresting but i have a doubt,dont men have structural advantage on oxigenation,adrenaline, and processing high-heat,like seketon and shit? i still have to get a look at this because is a real hard thing to study
sorry for the bad english yall
My farts are better than Anthony’s farts 💨
That is right but no one want to hear the subjective infos and live with them
No you’re right but the issue is all the focus ends up on the hormones which is only half of the reason trans women have advantages. They forget that all the structural differences biological men are born with can’t and won’t disappear with the hormone treatment. So there is still an advantage
I don't quite understand why people feel the need for another channel doing videos with "the other side" or opposing viewpoint. There are already channels like that out there. It shouldn't be an issue having to listen to (in this case) trans people just talking about their experiences without some cis person interrupting them.
I am a cis person but I find it so refreshing to just hear them talk without them having to justify every single question from someone else who might've been uneducated. Because most likely that's something they already have to deal with on a daily basis, why can't this just be a safe place for them to talk about what they feel.
In Anthony's "I spend a day with" series technically there's not really two different viewpoints either most of the time. So why is that ok and this is suddenly a burden to watch ?
Love the new format. Thank you for all the work that went into it, and for the guests insights.
The only thing missing from this conversation is non Trans athletes. If your looking for assumptions having everyone at the table is more of a true conversation.
this channel is not a debate channel. It's a documentary channel
Still. Its just misinforming people. Because anyone with common sense knows that “trans women” definitely do have a advantage against biological women. Lia Thomas is a PRIME example.

Loving this! and looking forward to more of this series! i would be interested in an assumptions episode on kink with all that no kink at pride controversity and all.. also if at all possible an episode on did systems? although that might be hard to do.
I’d be really interested in that first topic. Though personally my opinion is to separate pride based on when kink is and isn’t allowed, so that everyone is of age and consenting to possibly see kink gear. I’ve heard a lot of interesting opinions on it though, I’d love to hear more.
Kink is too involved in the community. I am part of the community and have seen many others like me that don't like drag or a lot of the sexual parts about it during pride.
@MrRandomCan that's the thing, I can't even go to a pride event without feeling uncomftortable or seeing kids at the front of a drag stage. All this can't be avoided that's why I don't consider myself an active follower of the LGB community. I call it LGB like other gay people do for a reason....
The "kink at pride" discourse is so incredibly annoying because to bigots, every queer identity is considered a "kink."
Also, if it wasn't for groups like drag queens (which aren't inherently a kink BTW), BDSM peeps, and leather daddies, the queer rights movement wouldn't be nearly as successful as it is.
When you got a man that was ranked somewhere in the 400’s in Swimming and then pretends to be a woman and gets 1st place it’s very clear he has a huge biological advantage.
were they on HRT? for how many months? those are very important factors, obviously a biological male that hasn't undergone HRT for a certain period of time will dominate biological females.

Great to see a video where trans athletes are able to chat amongst themselves/with people who are already acquainted with the topic!
Also, not every discussion is a debate. It’s not an “echo chamber” when three trans people get together to talk ABOUT trans ppl’s concerns. It’s called having a fucking conversation.
By this logic I hope you also spam “echo chamber” every time there are only cis people in a video about gender lmao
Too be fair, all of Anthonys videos are like this. He never really brings up any counterarguments to the people he talk to. Thinking he would do so now is unlikely based on all his other videos

This conversation definitely opened my eyes to some things, especially the first segment.
However, I do wish another perspective could be shown separately as well since I did look up what was referenced in the first section and actually found the results on trans women having a biological advantage over cis women to be inconclusive rather than definitively debunking it from what I could find.
Of course I do appreciate giving people a space to talk about their issues without feeling the need to defend themselves against an opposing side though, so that’s a refreshing take compared to Jubilee.
It’s so important that people have the freedom to speak out without feeling judged so they can get their authentic thoughts out there.

1:09 Being biologically male in a female sport is "not an advantage"? That's unequivocally false. And to suggest that the teams aren't full of transgenders proves it, is fallacious.
Thank you so much Anthony for not only using your platform to bring awareness to the issue but also stepping back and having Trans people talk about this topic. It was nice to see someone take themselves out of a topic that doesn't affect them and allow others, those who are affected to, and bring their voices to light. I don't think you understand how much this means to people, including me.
wishing to have an assumptions episode with neurodivergent people just for more better understanding of their situation today as though it seems like the topic is getting more and more popular.

By the conclusion of Thomas's swimming career at UPenn in 2022, her rank had moved from 65th on the men's team to 1st on the women's team in the 500-yard freestyle, and 554th on the men's team to fifth on the women's team in the 200-yard freestyle.
She was mediocre under the men's side to beating 3 Olympians. But no advantage. BS.
Would love to see some of the people interviewed with different stigmatized disorders sit down together! Such as the folks from i spent a day with people with DID and the episode about Borderline Personality Disorder.
Both disorders face alot pf stigma not only with the public but within the community of medical professionals meant to help treat us. (Like how many therapists will turn away patients with BPD.) It would be interesting to see those conversations and hear about their experiences living openly with those disorders.
