The fact that this is even a point of discussion at the government level shows how screwed society is.
Well said
His speech and comparison is really awesome...
100%
the exact same idea that crossed my mind when finished watching the vid.
If only republicans didn't throw out ridiculous comparisons then we would have reasonable conversations.
Children are impressionable and should be left alone to enjoy their childhood .
that's why they are targeting kids.... to manipulate, if they fail this lunatics campaign next they will come the threats.
i don’t think you understand how much of a bitch gender dysphoria is, you can’t ignore it and cbt or other talk therapies either don’t do anything to help alleviate the pain or they actively hurt patients
You say that to. LGBTQ. Person to leave kids alone they will march and forced schools to teach your kids about stuff you don’t want them to know about
@@EazyTheReconthat’s not happening. You are making shit up.
When i was 6 years old, the school system forced me to take psychotropic meds or i could not get an education. The very definition of indoctrinated and brainwashed fits my childhood seamlessly. Unless adults do more to speak out or stand up for the kids it'll just continue to happen. Lot of dudes just claim that "oh i'd do anything for the kids" meanwhile as a 6 year old i was restrained by other adults and forced into a box, also the daily forced medication consumption. People claim there all this negativity going on, all this blah blah blah but i was abused by the public school system my entire childhood.
What shocks me is 30% of Americans are in favour of this!!!
We have to stop this madness. Doctors oath first to do no harm.
the whole country needs to follow florida and other states that will fire doctors if they decide to do this type of surgery on a child. the doctors will loose their medical license also.
Unfortunately the hospital that employs the doctor, in order to receive federal grants, enforce the doctor to do harm. Time for doctors to stand up for the truth.
The progressive left try to skirt around "do no harm" by arguing not aiding a transition will cause the person to kill themselves so, in order to "do no harm' they must affirm the transition.
Isn't it crazy how thousands of doctors who follow and uphold this oath on every other matter turn a blind eye on this one matter? It definitely isn't that they believe and show evidence that no harm is being done. How far has this country fallen smh
@@kerry3496 Why start NOW? The vast majority of Doctors allowed the Covid Lies to Persist! Although to be fair, the ones that DID Speak to Truth were SEVERELY ostracized and some lost their License!
BTW now California has a Law.. That is you Advised a Patient about something Covid related that was not the " Correct " position,,
You WILL be Removed as a Doctor. Total fascist State!
The fact that a parent would take their 11 yearolds idea that he wanted to be a she is nuts. What if your 11 yearold said he wanted to be an alcoholic because he would rather hang out at the bar and play pool or pinball rather go to school, because it looks like the bar is more fun. Any parent that buys into ANY of this should not have custody of children.
🎯💯
Wow, isn't it crazy how a child wanting to present differently to others... is not at all in any way comparable to economic life decisions?
Like, what if your child decided to assassinate the president? Isn't that the same thing as them saying they like wearing purple shirts?
For preadolescents transition is entirely social, and for adolescents the first line of medical care is 100% temporary puberty delaying treatment that has no long term effects. Hormone therapy isn't an option until their mid teens, by which point the chances that they will "desist" are close to zero. Reconstructive genital surgery is not an option until their late teens/early 20's at the youngest. And transition-related medical care is recognized as medically necessary, frequently life saving medical care by every major medical authority.
Withholding medical care from an adolescent who needs it is not a goddamn neutral option. Transition is absolutely necessary to keep many trans kids alive. Without transition a hell of a lot of them commit suicide. When able to transition rates of suicide attempts drop to the national average.
Ignorance isnt a life sentence
California is already there
@debbieconoway1691 By protecting a group of peoples freedoms and rights to acquire the healthcare they need? Is that bad?
It's even WORSE than that, Dan! Imagine if your daughter told you that her school councillor agreed she should have her healthy eye removed. Then the councillor snuck your underage daughter across state lines to California WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE in order to have the surgery...??
dan cant hear you and that isnt happening. get a hobby.
Doctors and nurses involved in this butchery to children should be arrested, jailed and struck off. They are disgusting people.

@@collier8931 And yet here you are... they harmed your fragile feelings. Womp womp.
The butchers who prescribe chemical castration to minors should be jailed for the rest of their remaining lifespan. These “transition” surgeries should be put in the same category as lobotomies, organ theft, and other forms of medical malpractice.
so, they are butchers if they do , they are transfobic and prosecuted if they dont , is not their fault , the only problem here is the absolute ignorance around the world about this gender madness and the woke shit
10 years from now, the courts will be flooded with lawsuits filed by adults who have come to the realization that they were seduced into irreparably damaging their bodies and their lives while they were still innocent children.
Maybe Bill Gates brain washed all these confused people as part of his reducing population?

This craziness NEEDS to stop and those responsible for allowing and performing the mutilations on any child should be held accountable including those who voted to legalize it.
And we thought genital mutilation and circumcision were bad!
I agree that the craziness needs to stop, but I completely disagree with you about what the craziness is. To me, it's crazy to deny someone healthcare simply because you don't understand or agree with it. It's none of your business. Gender affirming care has been proven, time and again, to be the best tool to prevent suicide in the trans community. If you're against gender affirming care, you are literally telling people that your ignorant opinions are more important to you than their life is. That's what's crazy.

Once upon a time, it seems like last week, we all agreed it was a monstrous evil for a society to sterilize its neuroatypical.
And we never even conceived of a society that would do it to their children.
"Transabled" is already something that is happening, and they aren't being sectioned, they are being supported.
A woman blinded herself, others use wheelchairs with no disability. We used to treat these people as they should be, as crazy.
I honestly think the US should have a more collectivized culture, clearly we've taken individualism to a dangerous extreme, if that level of behavior is accepted in the name of inclusivity.
How do you treat crazy people? Do you force them to conform to what you believe is normal, or do you compromise with them?
@@plaguepandemic5651ehhhhhhh, I think letting people be themselves as long as they aren't hurting others is pretty integral to freedom, the only reason this stuff needs to stop is because it is hurting others and contorting objective reality
Far cheaper to just let them destroy themselves. We got no responsibility to act as caretakers to adults.
@@dave-kt7sj yeah acting paralyzed because that’s how you “identify” is not normal there are people in this world who would give anything to be able to walk to the store or see there children with their own eyes those who “identify” as paralyzed or blind are an insult to those groups of people and should not be compromised with
I identify as a person who lives in a sane world! Where are my rights?!?
One of my medical school interview questions was "should a person who believes they should have one arm be allowed to undergo surgery to remove their arm?"
Replace 'person' with 'child' and that's a straight no.
Being confronted with the ethics after med school over 50 years ago, and although I am my self, and far from in favor, it's not a question for Politicians. Start realizing the USA is 50 years behind on almost everything compared to the Netherland. I posted this in a comment, which you can easily find here,
Interesting. I have a question for you. My wife actually believes she should undergo surgery the remove one of her knees. Cause : she has a terrible knee problem. Multiple surgeries. A bit helpful, but pain is stronger and stronger as the time goes. She asked the surgeon to remove her knee and replace it by an artificial limb/joint, whatever is useful. Surgeon answer is : nope. Because her knee is a "living member" of her body and you don't remove something "living" from your body as far as you can use external tools and solutions to compensate the disability of the member, he says. He's a serious guy, we like him, strong reputation etc. We ask advices to ours doctor friends and doctor family, they all say the same. Basic of ethic is, "do not harm".
Here, does the logic of "Replace 'person' with 'child' and that's a straight no." still work ?
You will tell me there is so much to consider : risk/benefit ratio, age, etc. I agree. Let's put that apart.
I wanna focus your answer on how the patient beliefs have to be taken for serious and legit. And how the doctor beliefs and ethics could harm the patient ?
You can also put apart any woke debate like "is transgendering kids ok?". Bet we both agree that it is not ok.
If curious : surgeon is now ok for artificial limb. Letting her know pros/cons, risk/benefit, success rate ratios to take her decision. He is ok because everything was tried to not go for such an important surgery for 5 years, and that is now the last solution. So for 5 years, she had suffered psychological and physical pain and disability, to come to a solution she was asking from the beginning. Not even speaking about me, the one who assisted and still assist her in her disability. Some hard quotes will stay in my mind forever "Look this guy with no arms, no legs, he cross the English Channel swimming on his own, why don't you try swimming a bit? "You said it, the guy had no arm no leg, so no pain. I can't do it because I still have my knee, pain is the problem".
@@cirrus1964 The US is certainly at the forefront of crazy leftist/communist agendas.
@@MrSirPicsouyou don't remove working parts of the body because of delusions. Your question pertains to pain in the knee.
A knew replacement is a last resort, not a first. But if there was actual evidence of injury to the point of doing a knee replacement, then it would be done.
People with body dismorphia who remove working appendages are mentally ill.
@@cirrus1964 After the age of 18, or, in some cases depending on capacity, 16 yrs, I don't have a problem with people making the health decision to medically transition
Children's brains are dumb when it comes to risk-reward. (as a 25 year-old man, I'm only just becoming less dumb).
It’s because the parents are doing what their children want instead of the children being PROTECTED by their parents.
When my boys were little, we were in a grocery store and they wanted candy (at 9:00 am).
I said, “No”
An elderly man turned to me and said, “Do you know I rarely hear mothers say ‘no’ to their children! It’s refreshing to know some mothers still do.”
When you are raising children, compliments are rare, but l knew “No” was in their best interest that day.
A lollipop at 9am? The kid would have been ok either way but probably happier if they got the lollipop. You’re not protecting your child from anything, you just didn’t want them to have sugar at 9am. 🤦♀️
It's habbit forming, agreeing to giving a kid sugar in the morning isn't great, will it kill them now, no, will it potentially form bad habbits, maybe. Good parenting as far as I can see.
@@Akko81 You can be a good parent and protect your kids when they actually NEED to be protected, one lollipop for THAT MORNING would have done nothing other than make the kid happy, it’s not like your going to let them eat pounds of sugar EVERY morning and every day…..I was just saying for that one morning you saying no to your kid just because you didn’t want them to have sugar is far from PROTECTING them. 👍
@Show Me Something Not saying you're wrong, one lollipop isn't the end of the world, but saying yes to kids to make them happy isn't alway the best way. Kids will push and push parents, whereby saying yes shuts them up, or, as you said, makes them happy. The easy ways aren't always the best. To my original point, setting a president to kids on bad habits makes them think it's ok, one lollipop one morning turns into every morning, you know what I mean...? Not trying to argue with you or say you're wrong, just looking from different perspectives is all. 👍
@@Akko81 The original comment mentioned that we need to PROTECT our children yet they used a bad example. They mentioned saying no to their child having sugar just because it was the morning and that sometimes you have to say no because it’s in their “best interest”….for protection? Against..sugar? Lol I just don’t see why they choose to make them unhappy, it should make the parents happy that the kid even asked, already proving that they are good parents and their kid wasn’t rude for asking first. Kids need to hear more yes when they live in a world FULL of no’s. It’s not a bad habit to like sugar or have sugar in the morning, obviously if you over eat it, but like I already stated it’s not like you are going to say yes EVERY time, but children need more yes in their life and it doesn’t have to be a negative especially if it’s coming from the children themselves, hence why I thought the two stories had little to no correlation.
"We have to stop this madness, it's gone too far"
Wiser words have never been spoken.
Politics is used as a tool in all of this, money is the real reason, there is lots of money to be made in this "gender affirming care" and as history has taught us, some folks have no ethics when money is to be made, not an ounce of morality, just pure greed.
such is why democrats are expected to be on the take as is easily seen from hunter's laptop showing how corruption goes to the top of democrat "leadership"

this was a thing back in the 80s and earlier.

@@paulw5039 " Don't be disingenuous, "
ok.
so, just to be clear form what YOU said: trans kids are a real thing,they are an legitimate issue.
during the fight for equality, the trans issue has gotten huge publicity and now for SOME trans advocates, it's a profit thing.
you are implicitly conceding that trans kids are real and we need to deal w them as trans, but that we need to be on the watch for folks trying to make a profit off of the issue.
ok, i'm fine w that argument.
...gosh, if only there were some way to take the profit margin out of the whole thing so we can deal with the trans kids who need actual help.
like, idk, socializing medicine.
hey europe, what's your trans kid situation like there?
we can use them as a baseline to see how much profiteering has influenced the trans movement in the US.
I really hope that when my grandchildren learn about 2023 in school they will not even be able to fathom the insanity.
They will absolutely find it insane that an entire political movement sprung up around denying families and their doctors the right to decide what care they want.

The fact that we have to talk about this just shows you how absolutely F*CKED we are.
"My kid thinks it would be fun to zoom around in an electric wheelchair so, doctor, I'd like you to cut my kid's spinal cord. Because I'm a good person." Literally how some people think.
I have a friend who is trans and he doesn't have anything different about him other than now being more comfortable in his body. I'd say the analogy falls short if you are comparing this to cutting out a spinal cord or limbs or eyes, since in my opinion, gender isn't something that changes your capabilities as a human, while cutting away an eye or a limb would.
@@alexanderficken9354 so would an adolescent girl having her breasts cut out or a fake penis made of her arm skin, or a boy having his penis removed and turned into a fake vagina. That would change their capabilities as a human.
Except the pushing of hormones and surgeries literally castrates and/or mutilates their genitalia.

As an autistic person, I often feel like an alien from another planet. But if I actually started believing that I was, I would hope that someone would get me checked into a good mental health facility. And I pray that no one claiming to be a doctor would recommend species reaffirming surgery.

Common complications following plastic surgery include infection, necrosis, wound separation, fluid collections or abscesses, and blood clots. Would messing with a child’s genitalia be a picnic? This is quite a sick social experiment.
Plastic surgery is also used to reconstruct faces and the such after horrific injuries such as burns. With the amount of people who get those kinds of injuries every year, theres no need to go after children as a social experiment as burn victims already exist for that. That's clearly not the cause here.
I like this guy. Smart, to the point, doesn't have time for B.S. and calls it how he see's it.

I hope she recovers.
@@MrScott1994unfortunately not. She’s blinded herself. Her mind might recover and then she will wish she hadn’t, that’s all that can change. Currently she doesn’t regret that she’s blind, although she did say she regretted how she did it. I imagine it hurt terribly.

Wasn't there a girl who made herself blind, because she always felt like she was blind. She even appeared on a talkshow and one woman couldb't fathom what was happening.
Yes there was. I think she was in Dr. Phil
She did not always feel like she was blind, because she didn't know what it was like to be blind. You can't just treat the testimony of a very mentally ill person as truth like that. You can't take someone at their word when they're claiming their natural, healthy body is wrong and inconsistent with the way they are meant to be.
I understand what you meant, but this is an important distinction to make. If you accept the premise of her argument 'she has always felt like she was blind', the argument that perhaps doctors should blind her becomes a lot more reasonable. But the premise of her argument is not logically correct.
It's definitely a reasonable comparison. "Body integrity identity disorder", in which people feel a desire to become amputees, is usually caused by knowing amputees as a kid. Knowing someone who is missing an eye might cause someone to wish they were too, and exposure to "trans" people increases trans identification.
That is basically how advertising works and why transism is advertised so much. They want more eedeeots around. Wanting to have tons of money, religions or fame, is same sheet, anyway.
@@constantinosschinas4503 Maybe - but there are also a lot of trans people who have never been exposed to other trans people before they became trans themselves.
@@christianealshut1123 In any case, being trans is close to the lowest a person can get. Not accepting who you are, and live in a constant, degrading fantasy. And they try to sell the vice versa.

I have an alternative solution: to give legally the right to anyone that during chilhood has been given any surgical or hormonal treatment to transition gender, to sue the doctors and counsellors responsible for it, for all they and their families could have or their lives if they even so choose.

What you're saying makes sense, don't get me wrong, but doctors are being forced by aggressive weirdos obsessed with pushing their identity which would be respected as a private matter if they treated it as a private matter. Instead, they are coming to schools and teaching young children which in some cases they have even been forced. How can you support this?

How has the world come to this :(
I remember a documentary on tv, many years ago, of a man who felt he shouldn’t have 2 legs. A bit like the reverse of phantom pain after losing a leg when the mind is certain the leg is still there. He was certain his actual leg wasn’t there.
No orthopaedic surgeon would help him, and he ended up with a psychiatrist. For a long time. It was about the incongruity between his mental image and his physical body and the effect that had on him. He couldn’t get on with life normally.
Yes he had his amputation above the knee, eventually, and help to rehabilitate, because he had a mental condition that therapy couldn’t satisfy. But it was a weird one off and no one was happy about destroying a healthy body part. Weird enough to make a tv programme about.
Compare that strange 1 in multi millions tale to now, when you only have to imagine …..
Actually, this has been researched. It was found that amputation led to the greatest improvement in mental health with those suffering from body integrity identity disorder. There isn't a conclusive cause, but evidence so far points to it being neurological/genetic similar to gender dysphoria.
So basically he had a mental illness that caused him to have delusions.
Bro there are people out there CRAZY enough to criple or blind themselves becuse they FEEL they should be that way.
God help our society.
My husbands daughter claimed to be snufalupagus from Sesame Street and refused to answer you unless you call her by that name! So does she still wish this as a adult.... NO, no she let go of her childhood obsession and moved on. Lord help us when society wants to confirm our children's childhood make believe thoughts. Enough already. Save our children and allow them a fantasy without it being a life long commitment!
If you're going to allow children to undergo forced hormone changes and surgery before they finish puberty, you might as well throw all child protection out the window, reduce the legal drinking and smoking age, and age of consent, to five. Yes, that's ridiculous. So is allowing non-lifesaving hormonal manipulation and surgery at that age.
What a wonderful doctor! A female doctor standing up to the mob
One of the primary reasons given in support for "gender affirming care" is that it helps to reduce suicides. We talk a lot about "standards of care" but what is the standard of care for suicidal ideations? If someone is suicidal because of body dysmorphia over their weight or looks (or something else) do we treat the suicidal ideations with surgeries? Is that the standard of care for suicidal ideations? If you are feeling suicidal we perform invasive medical procedures and surgeries on you to help you look or feel a way you would if you looked differently than you do? That's not the proper standard of care for suicidal ideations and there is no evidence that changing certain things about someone reduces suicidal ideations instead of more acceptable standard of care for suicidal ideations which would include therapy and possible medications for related medical conditions such as depression, anxiety, etc. If it is true, which there is no evidence it is, that gender affirming care results in someone having a self-image that causes them to be less suicidal the "SOC" should still not be surgery or other invasive medical procedures prior to treating the more important condition which is the suicidal ideation.
What happens if someone is suicidal because they are a biological male who believes they are female and we give them "gender affirming care" and perform invasive medical procedures on them? Did we treat or help them with the suicidal ideations due to self-image? No, even if they stop being suicidal over being in a male body while identifying as female there is a great chance that this person's suicidal ideations which were left untreated will re-manifest in another area involving their self-image.
Transgender activists argue that children and others will kill themselves if they don't receive gender affirming care to help them with their "self-image" and if that's true, which it is not the cause of suicidal ideations, then the proper standard of care for that person is to treat the suicidal ideations with an appropriate standard of care for suicidal ideations and those do not include invasive medical surgery. For example, if a child thinks they are ugly and say "unless you fix my face I'm going to kill myself" the appropriate standard of care is to treat the suicidal ideation and help them work on their self-image. It is not to "fix their face" which in nearly all cases has nothing wrong with it.
Transgender activists say they are males in females bodies or females in male bodies and they have a problem with their self-image. We have to address this in a better way. If a person is not able to accept a part of who they are then we should help them come to terms with that before we even look at invasive medical procedures to change something about them. If a woman says "I'm going to kill myself because I'm fat and ugly" we treat her self-image and don't say "let's get you weight reduction surgery because you are right that you are fat and ugly and if we don't give you weight reduction surgery you should kill yourself or it would make sense that you would kill yourself."
This is the messaging this entire transgender activist movement is telling children and others. When they say that if a child isn't given invasive medical procedures to change their sex that they will kill themselves they are making it more likely that children and others will do exactly that and kill themselves. This is why we are seeing an increase in suicides in this group because we are allowing, mental health professionals included, transgender activists to tell people:
Unless you have gender affirming care and transition to look the way you think you ideally should look then you will kill yourself
The problem with this is that it reinforces this thinking without treating it. Even if we are to give those with gender dysphoria gender affirming care it needs to happen only after we get them to stop having the idea that if their physical image doesn't match their self-image that they should want to die.
In the past several years 7 countries have banned "gender affirming care" for kids and not ONE of those countries has seen an increase in suicidal kids. Also, suicide rates in young people in the US has INCREASED over *60%* since trans "healthcare" became available to kids
First off I'm not sold on the idea that it prevents suicides; if anything, it probably increases the suicide chance because you're mutilating someone and putting them on mind altering drugs.
Second, lobotomizing someone will prevent them from committing suicide. Does that mean we should lobotomize someone who wants to kill themselves? You're proposing chopping off an arm to treat a cut. We have ways to stop people from killing themselves that aren't permanent mutilation.
Well said
You are correct
But this push to mutilate kids has nothing to do w helping them. That is the very last concern our govt, and most doctors, have anymore. Its being pushed for population control and profits
So many cry babies in these comments. Lol. Move to another country if you don't like this one. Remember how certain people kept saying that 7-8 years ago? Keep that same energy.
Yes, as Keith said: The fact that this is even a point of discussion at the government level shows how screwed society is.
collective insanity
These people already think its fine to remove HEALTHY body parts . removing eyes, legs, arms will be no big deal
Sounds like we're stepping into a world of AI when you put it like that...oh wait, we are.
His analogy was SPOT ON 👏. There is no better argument against this silliness.
Exact same principle. If your kid believes in Santa, the tooth fairy or any of those other fake characters, they don't have the mental capacity to decide to chop off their own body parts.
We don't let kids smoke, drink, buy tickets to rated-R movies, sign contracts, drive a car (until 15 or 16), or in many places even be out past 11 PM. Why? Maturity, experience, brain development. But we would let them make a permanent, life-altering decision based upon a whim, a psychological condition, or a fad? Make it make the sense.
I'm glad I went through my "I want to be a doggy" phase long before this. I spent week or two crawling around on all fours, trying to lap water and eat from a bowl. I was 5. Thank God my parents didn't actually put kibble in my bowl. I also went through an "I want to be a dinosaur" phase, but they never made me hunt my own dinner down. They told me play time was over, get your ass up to the table and eat your dinner. Highly effective approach, too....
I was literally just thinking this. As a young child, I wanted to be A CAT and I wanted to marry my cat because he was my best friend at the time. Your comment nailed it.
Spot on haha 😂
I have two examples of what that woman was talking about. Someone close to me personally was convinced by her school, and the fad that was raging through her friends group, convinced her that she was Trans. It took her family telling her to knock off her aggressive stance on woke ideologies (basically she was harassing everyone and verbally attacking them for perceived wrongs and injustices) before she finally realized that she not only wasn't Trans, but that she was being used as a mouth-piece to tear her family apart.
Mind you, this person was the most stereotypical example of what girls are like and about that I have ever known, and I've known her all her life.
Another example is a good friend of mine. He was badgered by his state appointed therapist, who constantly tried, insisting vehemently, to convince my friend that he was Trans. He left that therapist, thankfully. This friend of mine, in all our interactions, has never shown the slightest indication that he might be Trans or even feminine.
This same friend and his girlfriend were accosted on the street of their home town by some little woke-y insisting that both of them were Trans. My friend has long hair and his girlfriend is a tom-boy. They basically told the little soy-boy in no polite terms to mind his own business, and he threw a hissy fit while storming off.
I've got a few other examples of this insanity, but I'll get to my point. Children should not be allowed to make this kind of decision before they're of a mature enough age (18+ imo) and I damn sure am not okay with my tax money going towards someone else's non-emergency surgery or "affirming care".
Relatable analogy, thanks.
What that doctor was saying about medical journals and other types of publications not accepting certain articles or research papers is absolutely true. There are a lot of studies that don't get published because the corporate overlords don't want it.
To paraphrase an acquaintance of mine, "if you can quantify it, you can cure it." If you can actually figure out the cause of something, then you can get rid of the problem. If there's no studies or no evidence, they can continuously "do research" to find some convoluted and ineffectual cure to the problem instead of just doing what's logical. If your thing is sticking out towards the bottom of your torso, congratulations, you are a boy. If they're hanging off your chest, well holy crap, you're a girl. Your feelings don't mean shit. Except your body is one way and then work towards telling your brain this is how it is. Normal people look at reality every day and just say, "this is how it is. How do I make this work?"
Stop taking fantastical sugar water from assholes and white coats. Listen to your brain, not to Tumblr.
My brain tells me that every major medical organization in the US supports gender-affirming care. I take medical advice from doctors, not from politicians.
Very true. There's so much dogma in science generally, and if you try to publish a paper that goes against that dogma, no matter how compelling your evidence, you will struggle to get it out there, at least in a reputable journal that people will take notice of. I hit this back in my former career, when I dared to try to publish a research paper that went only slightly against what one of the big names in my field said, and not only was my paper rejected, but I had a barrage of abuse from the peer reviewer (who was clearly pals with the big name). It was a shock to me, when my data was sound and I'd published plenty of papers before, so I knew I wasn't just incompetent, but none of my previous work had stepped on anyone's ego. Things have got much worse since then, and it's not just egos that researchers have to tread carefully around, but the sources of funding, such as big pharma, who will ensure that journals suppress anything that goes against their narrative. You only have to look at the botched and biased 'science' around covid to see that, and the trans debate is if anything, even more radical.... but every trans person becomes a lifelong cash cow for pharma, so follow the money.
Devils Advocate.... What if someone has both? Or neither? There are tons of out of shape men with moobs & flat chested women. (Just poking fun at the descriptors, as I mostly agree.)
@@dexine4723 there was also that study where they circumcised the boy inside of an MRI and saw the change in his brain chemicals. It ended up becoming a permanent change on top of it. When those doctors went to publish the paper, they were basically threatened that they would be discredited and disbarred. That was the first instance I ever heard of that, and it made me realize precisely what kind of control is being laid on this entire world. It infuriates me to no end.
@@ImpetuouslyInsanethat's very interesting. I do wonder though, given that circumcision was involved, if the findings were seen as a threat on religious grounds🤔
Your comment is on line with my own reply to @Zere616.
Long live family values!
We should jail the people who want this. Mark them as sexual predators
Press pause? More like outlaw it and imprison anyone for a long time who practise it
It's a fair question.
The problem presented as a dilemma is a great way to teach someone about seeing from another perspective and learning about how something that could be so logical to a child actually would create unaccountable damage to society on the whole. ❤
10/10 profile picture. Genuinely chuckled.
I identity as a rich man... I always have... Growing up poor, I hated everything about how we had to save money... I get very depressed whenever I have a job, something in the back of my head telling me "You shouldnt be doing this, you should of been BORN rich". The foods I like are very expensive , the clothes I buy are designer only... I cant drive a cheap car, it just feels wrong... I was literally meant to be born rich but somehow ended up being born in a poor family... CAN I GET ADOPTED INTO A RICH FAMILY NOW???
Even better Dan. My son when 10 wanted to be a pirate. Should I have been able to have his leg amputated replaced with a peg. And have an eye removed so he could wear a real patch.
Better idea: Have him wear the eyepatch so he can have an eye adapted to the darkness for a while.
Or don't. I'm not his father.
Transgendarrrr.
This was so excellent. Crenshaw...I will remember his name.
He's terrible. Look up his TAPS Act
I used to identify as a member of an intelligent race. I don't feel I can anymore.
There are no studies to show that any of this transitioning does any good at all in fact, the science in the long term studies that we have since the 90s show that there are no good side effects mostly bad
The vast majority that did this when younger... Later regret it as adults!
My 5 year old son told me that hed rather be an Indominus Rex than a boy. I laughed and said, "well buddy, you're a human boy and you always will be". He hapily moved on.
Oh the horror of my lack of affirming his 5 year old whim. How could i?
I am so grateful to Crenshaw for making this analogy because it is as close to perfect as you can craft it. We all see it in the request (despite the genuine good intent) to get an eye out. Why can only half the country see it when a girl wants her breasts sawn off?
What do you think about cutting off the tip of a baby boy's penis? Circumcision's happen all the time and I don't hear a peep about protecting children... Interesting...
@lazysloth9060 So do you agree or disagree with the point being made?
@@lazysloth9060 either a joke, delusional, bad faith, or just plain ignorant. the modern pushback (in the u.s.) against male circumcision is in full g.d. swing. but besides that, amongst non-jews the move is patently a cosmetic one, not ideological. so the comparison immediately breaks down upon its most salient feature. no one is going to the matt ideologically about foreskin (besides perhaps jews - god handed it down as a requirement doncha know in his infinite wisdom!) removal. the "gentiles" just prefer it cosmetically; they aren't committed to it by any stretch of the imagination as a principle. so - just to be clear, circumcision is barbarism and the modern pushback is real. you haven't heard a peep because you prefer not to, not because it isn't there. the ideologues who have it in their playbook (religious adherents who think daddy god told them to do it) deserve scorn (i freely give it - but again - you don't hear a peep - nice!) to the morons who proceed with the practice by dint of cosmetic preference - sheep. is the practice by any stretch of the imagination as harmful or pernicious as the complete excision of a entire sexual organs (not the "tip" hur dur, also an exaggeration - the tip remains right where it is, extra skin however comes off - omfg - call the police!)? no, of course it is not. i give your attempt at parity here about 2 out of 10 stars.
@lazysloth9060 1. Circumcision doesn't leave the infant with a gaping wound continuously trying to heal. 2. The child doesn't go through a psychological nightmare. 3. It's more sanitary
@@vision-dz6cm 1. that's not how it works.
2. I'm still dealing with the issues associated with the circumcision.
3. Basic hygiene of your body yields the same results.
4. There is literally no need for male/female circumcision's to exist. period.
No person whos brain is still developing should be deciding a dang thing.
The more I hear about this the more it feels like the plot of a really bad movie. But it's not. It's reality. It's really happening. We have truly failed as a species.
Muma always said common sense is a weed but doesn't grow in everyone's garden.
Why is the government trying to make decisions for parents.
First it's this then it's your guns
Control
Loss of freedoms
You really dont see that yet?!
Imagine what we’ll be arguing about five years from now.
Imagine treating every disorder and highly encouraging one.

I don't know what's scarier, that this is even a debate being had in 2023, in such an evolved and technological age, or that 30% of the population actually don't oppose this.
Children are owned and guided by parents...not governments and their cronies.
Nice to hear this common sense at a senior govenment level from a number of brave senators etc in the USA. We in the UK have followed this madness I hope we can follow the fight-back.
Excellent point.
Good for you, this is crazy😮.
The fact that only 70% of Americans are against this is concerning.
Think of all the children who has irresponsible parents or is living in an irresponsible community that allows children to be permanently changed and disfigured for the sake of an agenda. They are nothing more than sacrificial lambs and society has failed them...smh 😔
Medicine and political views have always clashed but today this is madness ... Most Americans know this is wrong
Absolutely Correct Dan Crenshaw!!
"These eyeballs are RAPING my head and you FORCING me to grow my own eyeballs is torture!!" That is definitely an argument they would say lol
The world has gone straight to shit, honestly. This is absolute madness
this is insane and someone should be prosecuted for this madness
We have to stop this madness. That's the quote.
Some people have really lost their minds 😔
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ‼️‼️‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼👍🏼THANK YOU‼️‼️‼️
Fabulous ❤😊
As the Manic Street Preachers once sang "If you tolerate this, your children will be next".
I identify as someone with a beautiful nose and the fact I have the nose I have is causing me severe distress. Fix me.
You need young people who have gone through this and are now transitioning,
That's one of the charms of young people. They change their mind at the drop of a hat. Next week, a lot of them will be on to something else.
"We dont have the studies, that we would like" ?????????????? wth, is this the circus? xD
