My mom was a body builder who struggled a lot with her body image. The other female competitors felt they needed to get breast implants, so she always stood out and felt masculine. She loved exercise and showing off her hard work, but over time it just became too hard to deal with the judgement from outsiders and even other athletes. We place such weird body expectations on female athletes. Breast size, facial shape, everything is picked apart.
@@fatihisfat3506 yeah totally. When I was in middle school, I was bullied pretty hard. people liked to say I had two dads, because she was so muscular and didn't have a lot of feminine characteristics, especially when compared to their (usually Mormon tradwife) moms. She regularly placed in the top three for competitions, but one time she placed relatively low and the judges said it was because she wasn't "balanced" enough. Which is usually code in female bodybuilding for not having breasts. She looked the same she did for much larger and more difficult competitions that she won, so it was clear.
@buggslimo Dude, funniest thing I've heard since your mom made some funny noises a week ago. How she doing? Tell her to call me soon. Keep killing it with your wit, probably the worst all day I've heard. But the trolls here love you, so that's something I guess.
i love the fact that this isnt just a "she's not trans she's a real woman" video, and that you actually adress the stigma around intersex people and trans people in sports. great video.
im seeing a lot of weird people in the comments acting like imane khelif was born a man when shes literaly intersex, and to the one person who was replying to me asking if i change my mind due to those findings, no i dont, i fully support intersex and trans people in sports and hope that people can be more accepting and honestly just leave people alone. did imane have advantages? idk maybe, but she still put a lot of work into her training, and its not like sports are ever an equal field, i mean look at shaq and tell me with a straight face that he doesnt have a genetic advantage. in conclusion: who gives a shit, get a life
@@issacabraham8732 Like it's clear that these dipshits have never sparred or trained with a woman in their weight class. I did, once. And she beat the shit out of me despite my "biological advantages" as a man. Because she just had more experience under her belt.
As a woman with medical issues including high testosterone my body shape is far from feminine so this video hits hard😂 pun intended. Im 5’3 have large shoulders with muscular arms yet small hips and chest. I have been politely asked if I was transgender a few times before but that’s okay. It’s when you’re being bullied and harassed that’s it’s not okay. Especially if they don’t know the truth. I know the whole of the video is much more complicated. I’m only referring to people saying she’s a man only because of how she looks

@@argleblargle8083 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting women, who typically have XX chromosomes. It is characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and potential fertility issues. PCOS is associated with multiple small cysts in the ovaries and an imbalance of reproductive hormones. The exact cause is unknown, but genetic and lifestyle factors play a role. Treatment often includes lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, or medications to manage symptoms.

Right, I was honestly beyond shocked to see this vid from iDubbz of all people (having not really kept up with him for the past few years) but pleasantly surprised! And also the comments being largely supportive too
Hey Ian, I doubt you'll see this comment but as someone who went down an alt-right path because I hated myself for being trans I'm proud to say I emerged out the other side loving myself and others and being happy again. I was a massive fan of yours, even archived your videos for offline viewing. I'm now a proud trans woman. I used to be mad at you for "betraying" the "cause" when you stopped being a weirdo but now I realize I was just stunted in my growth. So I'm glad I caught up and can be happy with myself. Thank you for changing. It makes me happy to see someone popular defend trans women.
yo we have the same exact story, that's so awesome. Watched iDubbbz in highschool 10 yrz ago while I was goin down the alt-right pipeline & now I'm almost 4 years into transition.
Same! But FTM..I was drawn to right wing stuff at 13, because it felt like the only way to be considered a guy, but also I hated myself. I'm also so glad and appreciate how the editing and commentary I grew to like is used now like this
Im so here for edups being the guy to challenge the world view of the manlets and incels, some of whom used to worship him back in the edgy days. Such a real one
Same! I did grow up to start questioning if I really watch his content for the right reasons, and eventually figured that maybe I need to confront some biases within myself. To see that this guy has kinda grown to be more open to that aswell, it feels right. I feel like I liked him for the right reasons initially, and now I feel I have just matured out of a bad mentality.

That comment fucking blew my mind when I first read it during the games...Imagine if fights were stopped and declared a "no contest" because someone got hit too hard. Also that Italian boxer had the worlds worst defence, she basically stepped right into the cross and used the full force of her own face to block it
Tim Pool: You know what I'd do? I'd just stand there with my hands behind my back, let her pummel me... beat me to a bloody pulp... won't even make a sound... mmm yeah... punch me harder... just like that... harder... crush my balls... harder!!... yeah anyway that's just what I'd do
Ian, you keep talking about how boxing means you consent to being in a physical fight, but you're forgetting that these people have repeatedly made a point out of not understanding what consent means in every single context where it applies. It's kind of unfair to now suddenly expect them to understand what it means
@senorjigglypuff7953 a lot of these people who are publicly bashing trans people either have a history of being sued for SA and domestic violence or openly condone violence towards women on their platforms.
very satisfying to see a youtuber youve been watching for years actually make personal development! reflection is a beautiful thing and not only has the content grown with the times, but your character as well, comrade. stay strong and kind
"It will take a woman dying before anyone acts", after multiple women have now died due to the strict abortion laws they all supported, and the children that died after they block gun control, the list goes on. Funny that they start caring about lives being lost when it fits their agenda, but never when it's the direct result.
They're not against women being hit lol, they're against trans women. Appealing to the fear of women being hit is just hoe their relationalize it to a gullible audience.
"i've never been punched so hard before!" - says woman who has lost multiple previous fights by being punched so much harder in the face that she lost consciousness and face planted into the mat

I'm so glad to see he's acknowledged his problematic past and changed his ways, especially as someone who's gone through a similar journey! Proud of you.

@niropaxum958 come on dude, this elitist condescending attitude is a big part of what keeps people from growing and also scares people away from the left.

In fact, it takes a lot more effort to learn and grow when you're raised with shitty ideals.

@@TheReflecter are you inept? I'm saying that all his videos lately up until this one were just him whining about his change in direction instead of making real content in that new direction. Like my comment made sense you just didn't read it.
Saw the actual uncut fight (after many diggings in the internet since olympic notoriously take these clips down). As a very amateur boxing enthusiast, Imane's move was basic and expected in boxing. Carini's reaction on the other hand made me question why she was in the ring representing her country in the first place. And everyone else who says the fight was brutal and scary and horrific, i pity them since i guess they never watch a single boxing match EVER.
She probably believed the propaganda, I think I remember she ended up apologizing but I cba looking it up. Not too unbelievable considering we had sources from names like IBA pushing it. Of course, now we know their agenda and know it's the classic trolling Russia has been doing lately to make people fight each other, since IBA is ran by the Russian government.
It makes me genuinely happy to see a content creator ive enjoyed since the start not turn down that path and do their best to rectify their past behavior, thank you for being you Ian.
@@emilsstrals5835 That is apparently false. I even looked it up. The risk of death due to an abortion is very negligible (according to WHO smaller than 1 in 100.000 in "safe abortion" but well only "safe abortion" counts because "unsafe abortion" is just a sketchy thing that more likely occures if abortion is banned). There is a higher increase deaths through giving birth through the passing of an anti-abortion law.

This is why it’s hard for women to want to actually embrace and being feminine because we actually aren’t allowed to. We are told that we DO or DON’T fit that criteria. When being a woman is being Feminine. Every woman experiences femininity in her own personal way. It took me a long time to understand this.
This is absolutely fantastic. Not only combat the disinformation, but ALSO challenge the narratives that are based off of that information. God damn Ian, I know I'm just one random on the internet, but as someone who has grown up watching you for a long time, this is without any doubt one of the best videos I've ever, EVER seen you put together. Well done my man.
Its crazy how nobody cared about her in any other boxing event or tournament, when she had even lost many times to other women, but now that she won, and her oponent got slightly injured(in a sport of punching each other) she is demonised to hell.
There's an old left wing talking point about people who whine about "protecting women's sports" and shit never cared about it before, so it's pretty fucking clear they only care about attacking trans people. Or, Imane's case, someone who they thought looked kinda trans.
especially since the Italian boxer Angela Carrini literally came out herself like a week after the match and said she's sorry for what happened to Imane Khalife after their match, and that she only said the punch was too hard or whatever and didn't want to shake hands immediately after losing and being crushed (emotionally because all her hard work was for "nothing" and physically by being in pain) and she herself doesn't think Imane is a man, and would give her a hug and apologize should they ever meet again. not even Carrini herself thinks it was unfair she lost so how are other people getting mad at an issue that is not real (as Imane is a woman) lol
Wow wow wow WAIT a woman who has dedicated their lives to an extremely physical sport, pushing the limits of the human body to compete on a global stage is muscular and doesn't look like a Victoria Secret model???
I know right?? Not to mention sports can stunt things like puberty. My mom was a gymnast most of her pre-teen to teen life and didn't start going through full proper changes until like 16.
The girl doesn’t look even that different from women here. I’m Moroccan so same ethnicity and I’ve seen multiple women with similar features. And girl looks hot af when she’s all dressed up with her hair short. Like did these guys ever met butch women? Though they also get harassed as well for the same reasons and even more if they’re straight. Also she was such a cute little girl when she was young. The fact that her father had to show her birth certificate and pictures of her as a kid to prove that his kid is who she says she is. My sibling is also named Imane and they’re also masculine looking and very tall. So this hit me even closer to my heart. And
@@RichTapestry all evidence points to the opposite of what being true? That people who are male or have higher testosterone don’t generally look more masculine? You are honestly making the absurd claim that males(or those with male traits) are not likely to be more masculine? Do you hear yourself?
The thing I find interesting about the trans people in sports discourse is that it completely ignores that most top tier athletes simply have genetic advantages but that seemingly never really mattered until the idea of gender was threatened
Not to mention the trans women having advantages talking point isn't even true. Estrogen vastly decreases muscle mass and bone density in anyone who takes it. I can't find it right now but there was a study showing trans women are worse than, not even equal to, cis women in certain physical parameters
@IanErnst-sr1jn there's more dispute on this topic I'll admit. But, studies say there is no significant advantage if you can get puberty blockers when desired. Allowing trans people to transition and knowing their identity earlier would also help ease this so called "advantage". I fail to see any evidence. Other than right wingers claiming cis men are chomping at the bit to punch women. Like men already get away with domestic violence daily.
That’s almost a salient point, except we already separate most sports by gender. Allowing someone with most of the genetic advantages of one gender, to compete against the other gender, breaks that rule. Now, I expect you’ll imply that we shouldn’t separate sports by gender, and that’s a fine suggestion, I wouldn’t really have a problem with that. I imagine most female athletes would, though. There are very few (if any) sports based on pure athleticism that would allow any women to even place in the top 100, if any. I do think sports like shooting, archery, etc (almost exclusively skill based) should be non-gendered, though.
@@Forkuh You know nothing about biology so stop acting like you do. There are no inborn "genetic advantages" to being a gender, only ones caused by sex hormones which are malleable. Everything that gives you an advantage in sports like lung capacity, bone density, muscle mass, fast twitch muscle fibers etc are all determined by your dominant sex hormone (estrogen+progesterone+testosterone). Trans people alter their bodies' physical makeup by taking hormones of the opposite sex which gives them the physical capabilities of that sex. That's why male-to-females become much weaker after transition and female-to-males become faster and stronger
"Analog trans? Acoustic trans?" That slayed me. Loved this one. From one Ian to another, keep it up. I've really enjoyed the evolution of your character over the years.
the worst part is that if she LOOKED conventionally beautiful, nobody would bat an eye. people would be swooning over her, and those cringe 'trad west' instagram pages would be pumping out soyjacks and chad reels with her in them as the chads as the 'kind of woman we want'

You heard that one woman say that anyone 5’10” or taller is a man; therefore, even many of the hottest models from “western” countries like the Netherlands and Croatia where people are actually taller than Americans on average are gonna be disqualified.

Does Tim realize that if you just put your guard completely down and stood in place the ref would probably just DQ you. On top of that, she could easily just boop him gently on the nose one time and win if he refused to fight her, like what rule states you have to beat someone raw if they refuse to participate?

Plus it's also a tiny percentage of the population who are physically fit for pro sports anyway. Like how many people are as tall as Shaq? Rare genetics are like a basic requirement to be a top athlete.
For me the most shocking part of the video was to see what's apparently on the TV here in Australia. When did things get so bad? I honestly don't know anyone who watches traditional TV, so I'm guessing that only seniors are tuning in these days, and so the networks have had to make some bizarre programming adjustments to make ends meet.

My mom was a body builder who struggled a lot with her body image. The other female competitors felt they needed to get breast implants, so she always stood out and felt masculine. She loved exercise and showing off her hard work, but over time it just became too hard to deal with the judgement from outsiders and even other athletes. We place such weird body expectations on female athletes. Breast size, facial shape, everything is picked apart.
Was she on testosterone tho?
do you have any notable story of your mom about this ?
@@fatihisfat3506 yeah totally. When I was in middle school, I was bullied pretty hard. people liked to say I had two dads, because she was so muscular and didn't have a lot of feminine characteristics, especially when compared to their (usually Mormon tradwife) moms.
She regularly placed in the top three for competitions, but one time she placed relatively low and the judges said it was because she wasn't "balanced" enough. Which is usually code in female bodybuilding for not having breasts. She looked the same she did for much larger and more difficult competitions that she won, so it was clear.

@@RichTapestry all evidence points to the opposite of what being true? That people who are male or have higher testosterone don’t generally look more masculine? You are honestly making the absurd claim that males(or those with male traits) are not likely to be more masculine? Do you hear yourself?
Im with Idubbbz. Glad I didnt go down that incel laden, conspiracy believing, absolute toolbag filled path.
The thing I find interesting about the trans people in sports discourse is that it completely ignores that most top tier athletes simply have genetic advantages but that seemingly never really mattered until the idea of gender was threatened
I think there is basketball player that doesn't sweat and basically he doesn't get blisters during the training and matches.
Not to mention the trans women having advantages talking point isn't even true. Estrogen vastly decreases muscle mass and bone density in anyone who takes it. I can't find it right now but there was a study showing trans women are worse than, not even equal to, cis women in certain physical parameters
@IanErnst-sr1jn there's more dispute on this topic I'll admit. But, studies say there is no significant advantage if you can get puberty blockers when desired. Allowing trans people to transition and knowing their identity earlier would also help ease this so called "advantage".
I fail to see any evidence. Other than right wingers claiming cis men are chomping at the bit to punch women. Like men already get away with domestic violence daily.
That’s almost a salient point, except we already separate most sports by gender.
Allowing someone with most of the genetic advantages of one gender, to compete against the other gender, breaks that rule.
Now, I expect you’ll imply that we shouldn’t separate sports by gender, and that’s a fine suggestion, I wouldn’t really have a problem with that.
I imagine most female athletes would, though.
There are very few (if any) sports based on pure athleticism that would allow any women to even place in the top 100, if any.
I do think sports like shooting, archery, etc (almost exclusively skill based) should be non-gendered, though.
@@Forkuh You know nothing about biology so stop acting like you do. There are no inborn "genetic advantages" to being a gender, only ones caused by sex hormones which are malleable. Everything that gives you an advantage in sports like lung capacity, bone density, muscle mass, fast twitch muscle fibers etc are all determined by your dominant sex hormone (estrogen+progesterone+testosterone). Trans people alter their bodies' physical makeup by taking hormones of the opposite sex which gives them the physical capabilities of that sex. That's why male-to-females become much weaker after transition and female-to-males become faster and stronger
"Analog trans? Acoustic trans?" That slayed me.
Loved this one. From one Ian to another, keep it up. I've really enjoyed the evolution of your character over the years.
the worst part is that if she LOOKED conventionally beautiful, nobody would bat an eye. people would be swooning over her, and those cringe 'trad west' instagram pages would be pumping out soyjacks and chad reels with her in them as the chads as the 'kind of woman we want'
It’s no use. You heard that one woman say that anyone 5’10” or taller is a man; therefore, even many of the hottest models from “western” countries like the Netherlands and Croatia where people are actually taller than Americans on average are gonna be disqualified. Remember folks: if anyone tells you that racism against white people isn’t a thing, just remind them that folks who are racist against POC end up being racist against other white folks as well. It’s their nature and they cannot help it.
Isn't it weird that conservatives seem to have the power of being able to see someone's chromosomes? Crazy superpower to have

I like the new iDubbbz.
Legitimately just learnt about intersex people thanks to you. Not to exagerate, but its great to hear a nuanced approach every once in a blue moon. Best vid in a while, thanks!
I miss the old idubbbz audio quality
He lost too much money at CC to buy a Rode Wireless Pro
precious little princesses bitching about audio quality when he used to crawl around on the fucking bad unboxing table with a shitty shirt clip mic yelling and coughing into it, like him sitting in a basement yelling with his phone mic 3 feet from him is really so much worse 😿🍼
The Olympics feels like last year already.
Love you dude, the fact that she got called a man because she fought too well, is just, sexist beyond belief.
Also i love that you addressed the stigma intersex people and trans people in sports
The amount of research that went into this video was great. Well done, idubbbz
"Analogue trans, acoustic trans" got me laughing.

Love how wide the coverage in this video was, gave me a lot of perspective to see so many celebrities claiming they know the gender of someone who they saw on a television screen for 30 seconds. Great video and really enjoyed the snappy commentary too, felt very "Idubbbz" and fun to follow.
"Look at her! She is a man!" how has this person never seen a muscular woman before? Like has she never being to a gym or watched any women's sport before?
God it's so embarrassing that sky news australia exists
lmao
On the bright side I've never met a single person who takes sky news seriously down here
They are legitimately a stain on this country.
WHat a breath of fresh air this video was. I'm so glad to see a creator using their platform to educate rather than feed into the frenzy that already exists around topics like these.
This video is really good, seriously thank you for highlighting that all of this boils down to just ol' fashioned sexism
Does Tim realize that if you just put your guard completely down and stood in place the ref would probably just DQ you. On top of that, she could easily just boop him gently on the nose one time and win if he refused to fight her, like what rule states you have to beat someone raw if they refuse to participate?
Edit: I shouldn't have paused the video to type this shit, you were already on it 2 seconds after i hit play again.
"Does Tim realize" I mean... usually the answer is no regardless of the rest of the sentence
What Timmy doesn't realize is that even if he guarded either of those boxers would put him down hard. They are literally professional boxers.
Tim didn't realize he was a Russian asset until he was facing a lawsuit over it. Realizing things isn't his strong suit.
Twinkle Toes jumped the gun!
(I do this same thing way too often)
@@FunctionFIVEpeople like Tim literally think an unemployed man sitting on the couch eating cheetos and hotdogs all day could one hit KO a professional female boxer in the ring.

*unravels ancient scroll* "Ah, that one didnt age too well!"
Thank you for including Lin Yu Ting in the video. I felt like she got attacked then people just forget about it
5:00 they act like the opponent is a defenseless little girl and not an olympian. They have to go out of their way to insult both trans women and cis women.
exactly like they are there to fight each other i dont think theyre too worried about getting beat up
On the "insignificant percentage of the population" argument: With 0,018%, we are still talking about 1,5 million people worldwide.
Plus it's also a tiny percentage of the population who are physically fit for pro sports anyway. Like how many people are as tall as Shaq? Rare genetics are like a basic requirement to be a top athlete.
For me the most shocking part of the video was to see what's apparently on the TV here in Australia. When did things get so bad?
I honestly don't know anyone who watches traditional TV, so I'm guessing that only seniors are tuning in these days, and so the networks have had to make some bizarre programming adjustments to make ends meet. But I hope people don't think that this is the normal kind of attitude and conversation that everyday Australians are having.
@@SuiYo Damn that's really sad, maybe I'm just not exposed to it. I remember during COVID a lot of right wing weirdos came out of the woodwork but I assumed that it was just a symptom of fear, I didn't think the brain rot was eating away the foundations.

"I'm so happy i didn't continue going down that path" Me too, dude. It's amazing to see how much more of a positive and mature person you've become in modern day, it warms my heart. Especially as someone who was also very.. Edgy.. when I was younger. I could have also went down that same path, but I'm also grateful to have not gone down that path as well. I'm such a vastly different, much better person than I was all those years ago, as you definitely are, too. You're doing great man and it's absolutely amazing to see how much you've grown and matured. This was a great video, Ian, thank you so much for making this, I'd love to see more content like this from you ♥
Tutter mouse? Really? Shaking my head. He’s going down a bad path
This is an incredibly well made video Ian. I feel like you offer a really unique perspective on the issue because you approached it from the angle of sports fairness and legitimacy rather than someone advocating for free gender expression. While I believe in free gender expression, I feel like it’s a less compelling argument to cis people (especially your older viewers who like you for your old stuff). Keep up the great work man
I would’ve never imagined that I would watch an Idubbz video and get slightly offended because some guy says the r word. How far we’ve come…
Ian, you're awesome. Thanks for just being cool.
Solid vid. Big thanks to shouting out the creators in the description who did videos on the topic 🫡 They're hella talented folks, woulda been cool if their shoutouts were in the vid, but solid shoutouts regardless 💜
