SOMEONE SAID THE YOUNG TERFS LMAOOOOOOOO
People were calling her AK Rowling too. Lol.
Mmm, that's a good one!
What is a woman?
@@vigilantclips5912 your mom
@Steven E Almost everyone calls it TYT now. It's not the problem you're making it out to be 🤷♂️
I mean, the other part of this was how combative it was. Mike from Humanist Report tried to have a conversation and she basically told him to fly a kite cause he was a man despite having trans family.
She was horrible to mike.
That's not how I read the exhange.
@@desertbitch1 He's a man trying to tell a woman how to feel.
@@vincentd.2284she said he couldnt understand having his reproductive rights taken away bc "you're guy" (sic). i'm also a guy but i do in fact understand having my rights taken away bc i have a uterus. she's being a reactionary dipshit rn
@@vincentd.2284You read what you wanted to
The language isn't just meant to be inclusive. It is exact. It excludes also. There are women who don't have a uterus or give birth or menstrate. The wording is specific and not synonymous with the word woman. Ana knows better
Anna is waking up.. slowly but it's great to see. Hearing someone refer to themselves as "cis" is so cringe. Lefties stop making up words to prove your point it's ridiculous.
She was citing examples of those terms being used and appeared to be in medicine, law and civil rights. I feel like those would be the areas where using those terms would be appropriate. It’s being very specific to a group.
SO then why aren't those terms acceptable, to you, outside of medicine? If science is fact, then why does that not carry over to your general opinion on "terms"
Which makes it all the more baffling why she would say this nonsense in the first place, unless she wants to cater to a different audience, which would be kinda pathetic tbh.
@@Regenmacher175 I think she was baited by a TERF or rightwinger and didn't pick up on that before posting. Now she's just being defensive and probably won't change her mind until confronted by someone she trusts.
@@ghostdetective311 "outside of medicine", the term would have no common usage...
"If science is fact, then why does that not carry over to your general opinion on "terms"
Because there are multiple words and terms to be specific. Or would you like to limit linguistic expression?

The left eating their own, transgenderism will be the downfall of the left😂
its awkward language for sure but yeah it comes off as her playing the victim when I doubt anyones literally called her that to her face
Its not awkward language, Ana was just spitting facts
@@theone9705 lol
but we gotta remember she's in southern california-- there *are* some people there who don't have much sense of perspective, so I wouldn't rule it out
sometimes I can't help but balk and roll my eyes at the things my friends born in a nice part of Chicago get worked up or consider hostile, but then that's because I'm from the rural south...
@@hbdude155 Name one normal, real woman who wants to be called "birthing person"?
Emma is simply carrying water/apologetics for a friend. My best friend is a fairly bigoted anti-trans dude. I think I’ve gotten thru to him over the years. But we all have buddies like that. Who cares, right? Right… UNLESS YOU ARE THE FACE OF THE LARGEST PROGRESSIVE “TV” NEWS CHANNEL ON THE INTERNET. She’s not some green, just-out-of-college podcaster shooting the shit. This is hardly her first cringe take, too. Less than a month ago, Ana admitted how she can get “carried away.” Self awareness is nice, but unless you take actions to “correct” them, what the hell is the point? This was a weak ass take. And one that took Emma 20 seconds, when most of her commentary takes 20 minutes. She felt defensive and uncomfortable for a reason. Whatever. Ana is definitely an ally. I do question just how left-winged she is, though. Infinitely better than CNN, but low bar.
I think this is a good take, but it's also missing something. Because I think Ana's tweet show's a misunderstanding for how inclusive language is supposed to be used. Ana is absolutely right that she is a woman and should be identified as such. The inclusive language only needs to be used when referring to larger groups where gender is not necessarily known. If you were referring to Ana specifically you would not call her a "person with a uterus" you'd just say she's a cis woman. But if you're referring to a person of unspecified gender you'd use the inclusive term.
Why would you have to say she is "cis" unless there a specific context where her sexuality is important to know?
@@chingiskhan4709 Her Sexuality?????
@@chingiskhan4709Cis has nothing to do with sexuality. You can be a cis woman who is a lesbian.
Why not “female”
A person with a uterus and cisgender woman are likely synonymous unless the woman had a hysterectomy. Ana should be against cisgender language if she is against people with uterus language.
None of what Emma’s saying makes sense. Ana was just saying the most obvious shit
TYT has come a long way on LGBTQIA issues from where they were 15 years ago when I first started watching. A LONG way. Most of the staff have matured a lot. But they can be very reductive sometimes in how they understand and approach Queer identity and don't seem to particularly interested in educating themselves much in depth about Queer history or the science of sexual dimorphology and how it relates to trans and intersex people etc etc... they, like a lot of straight white lefitsts, just call it all 'identity politics' and try to reduce everything to economics as if homophobia and transphobia etc et al just begin and end with capitalism. And those are the failings that get them into trouble sometimes- even though I completely agree with the title of this video.
Sounds exactly like Vaush too
Do u know what a woman is
Yeah these folks are class reductionist full stop
@@tinalulumack378 Your mom is a class reductionist
It literally is identity politics.
Ana is being reactionary. By the very definition of the word of "reactionary" her behavior fits. Reactionaries "react" to things emotionally instead of logically.
I am a uterus having person that does not menstruate. Why would anyone get offended by descriptive language? There are millions of humans in this country. Some of us have a uterus. Some of us have babies. Some of us have periods. Many do not. She is reacting to inclusive language that makes sure we are all represented accurately on a medical or policy level. No one is going around and referring to individual women as "baby havers", this is not something that happens to people. She is reacting to AOC including all of the people she represents, whose interests are important and deserve inclusion in policy discussion. If there is any place that we should be precise in our language in regard to how we refer to people, it is policy discussions. Policies can impact baby havers differently than those who do not have babies. Frankly, Ana is being bigoted in this area. Do I think she is irredeemable? No. I think she needs to be educated and understand she is being knee jerk and emotional without cause. If this is the thing that irritates her in this world I really want to have her life. Seriously. This is Karen privilege. And I say this as a cis gendered post menopausal woman actually named Karen.
omg Karen go off !!!
true!
Damn that's really well put
You should look up definitions of reactionary. It doesn't mean what you think it does. :>
@@willguggn2 " opposing political or social liberalization or reform."
This is objectively where her take on this issue is. She is objecting to the liberalising of language on the issue of better inclusive language within the context of discussing medical healthcare and, even more specifically, reproductive healthcare. She attempted to take a *very specific* context about language and say people wanted to apply it to *all contexts!*
What she did was objectively reactionary.
I'm online all the time but I don't see this an as issue like Ana does. I've never seen anyone refer to cis women in the clinical sense. I know that's anecdotal, but to me Ana is fired up over something that's not worth getting fired up about. She usually doesn't do that, so this threw me off.
Exactly, I don’t believe anyone has ever referred to her as a “uterus haver”. These terms are not used conversationally, they are only ever used in the context of talking about healthcare
Well if it doesn't matter don't say it then.
The reason most people don't use words is because the majority of the population isn't woke (thank god) and had good fathers in their lives
@@theone9705 You guys call us "woke" because it sounds bad to mock us for having empathy.
@@theone9705 you don't even know what woke means
Saying "uterus haver" or "birthing person" is incredibly cringe.
Why? Those are distinct groups of people. What else would you call them?
@Skyler Mikalson You are a pissing person. That's a distinct category too.
And sexist.
@@user-wf8du2iz3p Huh?
@@skylermikalson6159 Women.
The same dipstick that jumped to praise Russel Brand's ironic manic rant on Bill Maher... 💀
But the weird thing is , when terms like “ birthing person” or “ people who menstruate” are used, they are meant to be inclusionary of trans MEN, but then the seething hatred always gets directed at trans WOMEN, WTF is the deal with that?!
That is an interesting point.
Yeah. Why do I have to misgender myself and other trans/nonbinary people in order to talk about things that directly affect me as a person with a uterus? Because it hurts Ana's feelings? She needs to get over herself. Not every reference to a demographic she's included in is a personal attack.
it's because people keep forgetting that we exist, lmao. i've seen several instances where a trans man - using a profile pic that's a photo of themselves looking plenty masculine - jumps into a twitter argument to defend a trans woman against a TERF, and some idiot trying to be insulting replies to them with "you'll never be a woman". like, i know it's not what you meant, but thanks, i'm glad you think so.
i've even seen allies do this kind of thing. i watched a cis man youtuber express confusion at length over why having menstrual products in men's restrooms would be a topic at a trans issues conference because trans women wouldn't be menstruating anyway. i so badly wanted to reach through the screen and shake him and shout IT'S FOR TRANS MEN YOU DUMMY.
so yeah, it's because people know this kind of language is meant to be some kind of nod toward trans people, and the only trans people they know about are trans women, so that's where all their vitriol goes.
Transphobes are morons, basically. There's no logic behind their actions.
Trans women generally get all the hate from transphobes. Trans men usually get ignored entirely, and when they're not ignored, they get infantalized as "poor misguided women" who can't be trusted to know what's best for themselves.
it was puzzling to see Kasparian say this I got the vibe she was insulted that she was being reduced to being breeding stock
TBF, given that some on the Right (from Hawley to Walsh to Alabama Man to Gabbard recently) keep asking "what is a woman" as if it's some sort of gotcha, an outburst that addresses both that and the reductionist "breeding stock" reference isn't that far beyond the realm of reason.
thinking about it logically, using the term birthing people, which includes some trans men and nonbinary people, actually does the opposite of saying women are their capability of birthing, because it includes non-women in said umbrella. anyway, it's also just a more accurate term, used when context relevant
It seems that keeping asking “what is a woman?” is paying handsome dividends. Seeing the left eating each other on semantics must make bigots jubilant.
The right closes ranks to get what they want, the left waste all their strength fighting each other. Idiots.
Yea i agree with u.. I get that feeling as well.. Dont have any idea why its offensive..english is my 2nd language but i can understand it just fine..
And I totally get *her* not wanting to be called a "birthing person" or some other inclusive term when referring to herself ONLY. But when she is speaking about a group of people, one that is not only women, refusing to use an inclusive term excludes trans men & non binary people. Not only women lost reproductive freedoms when Roe was overturned. And I get that some of the inclusive terms are clunky but she could say AFAB people, which imo is less clunky, and she'd be more accurate & at least attempting to include everyone.
TYT is like 90% cringe
Yes you are.
Everyone can pick what they want to be called but women. No surprise there
Two videos about this tweet and they never actually report what the tweet said
Anna's track record is no longer an excuse. I'm struggling supporting TYT lately. I'm glad there's orher progressive content creators. I'm a straight guy that firmly believes we should allow people to be free to be themselves and love who they want to love. That freedom is a human right.
Good for you. Their antiwhite and anticop rhetoric is why I left 8yrs ago. It's proven to be dangerous, literally. Somewhere they lost their way. I just think when you hit 35, 40s like an Ana .. you grow up and mature. You stop playing make believe. Anyone that follows leftists, not liberals, but even some liberals have drifted into lunacy land) .. is an uneducated, brain not fully developed low IQ zoomer doofus. Good luck.

Olay said it best. Kasparian made it all about herself
Her statement was always about herself. It's the fucking weirdos on Twitter trying to make it seem like some broader attack on Trans people. When that never happened.
she was talking about HER pronouns ffs :D ofcoruse she made it about herself :D

@@FerreusNRG offended? 🤣💦
I don't think Ana is a dishonest or bad actor Emma is right she's a good person. The issue is she is so obsessed with looking like she's being fair to both sides and pointing out excess on her own side that she says dumb shit like this. And she's uneducated on trans issues yet keeps dabbling into them with bad takes. Like how the UK closed a pediatric gender because of pressure from TERFs but Ana takes that as proof that some of the right's lies about children's trans healthcare is true. when the truth is more complicated and unfortunately the ignorance about trans issues are leading governments to make bad decisions.
I think it's good to keep in mind that this isn't her first bad take. I mean we all make many mistakes in our lives, but the types of mistakes are suspect. I like the expression: once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
@@23phoenixash I understand what you are saying and I mostly agree. but I think we need to give enormous leeway to folks who do social commentary for a living and/or are aligned with progressive thinking on most issues. We all have blinds spots and things we are ignorant about and unlike me and you they have to learn and react to these things in public. What matters is if they care to learn and do better in the future. Also the size of the disagreement matters, I can't honestly say any of this rises to a serious level to me. I think we should all learn to not overemphasize small disagreements we have with folks who are overall on our side.
@@icecoldpierreno we don’t need to give more leeeway, in fact, people with large platforms like Ana should be held to higher standards. It’s their job to know better and their words carry farther and have more weight than some random bigot.
@@icecoldpierre You're saying we need to give enormous leeway to people who do social commentary. I think the opposite. I think if you have a large platform and you're saying things that could have an impact on millions of people's lives, you should get less leeway. Also, it's not Anna's comment in a vacuum that's serious, it's the larger threat to trans lives that's serious. I do believe Anna is pro-trans, but if she says something today that becomes part of the larger right-wing effort to eradicate us, then it won't even matter if she was an ally. Intentions matter, but so do consequences. And if you want to be an ally, then you have to listen to what the people you claim to be allied to think. You don't have to always agree, but if you don't consider the trans person's point of view, how can you call yourself an ally to trans people? Lastly, pointing out flaws in a person's reasoning does not mean we're trying to start a witch hunt against Anna. I know you didn't say that, but people are acting like Anna's comments aren't a big deal. Ok, well why are MY comments a big deal? I'm just a single nobody on the Internet. Good grief.
@@23phoenixash Again I agree with most of what you say. Your comments are literally not a big deal. And neither are mine. When I say we should give content creators leeway I mean give your allies some consideration when you disagree with them instead of just labeling them the enemy. But i think you get that. This is a conversation and that's fine. and what's happening to Ana is a conversation too -one she started. I always downplay this stuff because unless it's a Jimmy Dore or Dave Rubin situation where that person is not who they were claiming to be then in the end hopefully we all walk away having learned something. let's hope Ana does that this time. Lets hope she learns something. I also acknowledge i'm not as close to this issue as some other folks.
Ana is 100% right!!! And good on her for speaking up for women! I’m as left as they come, and the misogyny of the gender ideologues is out of control!
Sure thing, terf.
@@scruffopone3989 so progressive of you.
@@DontStopCornPop Progressive is when queer and trans people let weirdos walk all over us. Apparently.
@@scruffopone3989 No one needs labelling "cis", as the terms "man" or "woman" suffice perfectly, activists insist on it for political reasons when in actuality the divide woman / "trans woman" is already 100% clear. A "trans woman" is not a subcategory of women, females, they are a subcategory of men, MALES. This ridiculous attempt to redefine words is not innocent and natural, it is political and nefarious, and it is not "kind" to play along with attempting to remove the ability of females to identify as a sex class - a woman is an adult human female, it is not some "feeling" or performance or adopting sexist stereotypes, it is a physical reality and not an "identity", nor need women take on the problems of sexist and delusional narcissistic males. People who are "marginalised" by their personal choices and mental health issues which they refuse to treat do not get to dictate how the rest of society functions.
Simple questions; how is "gender identity" any different from what sexist stereotypes a person feels drawn to? And, if sex and gender are separate, then why should "transitioning gender" allow MALES into FEMALE-ONLY spaces, they never changed, nor can they change, their sex. How is removing the rights of females to single-sex spaces progressive? How is centering male feelings over female rights "feminist"?
See, explain exactly why it is that we can't expand the definition of "man", but we apparently MUST redefine "woman" to accommodate delusional sexist males. Why? "Words change, words evolve". All people claiming to be "trans women" are MALE. The definition of woman is adult human female - and you lot think we should completely uproot that objective reality based definition in order to appease male emotions (delusions) , but in turn redefining "man" is out of the question? And you claim to be fighting sexism? Males who are drawn to sexist stereotypes associated with the female sex cannot be seen as "men" anymore, because they aren't "manly" enough, so we should see and "accept" them as "women" - that is what you lot are pushing for, and it's regressive and sexist to the core, yet you will scream til you are blue in the face that it is about progress and equality, "human rights" and "feminism". What a load of cobbled together utter nonsense.
I think it is a point of great confusion among TRAs, that they think the gender critical position is full of "hate", or fear of "trans" people etc., when it is not, it is a fundamental disagreement on how to view reality, sexism, how society functions, physical reality and the function and purpose of biological structures - the gender critical position is saying the "trans" position is an incorrect and fundamentally regressive and sexist perception of reality, and the purpose is to change people's perception, to liberate people from such restrictive sexist opinions. There is no desire to harm "trans" people, not at all, but a desire to change their perception of the world, human biology and what it means to be a man or woman. There is no desire to see "trans" people die etc., which is why the cries of "genocide" are usually met with disbelief and mockery, because it's such an absurdly incorrect framing of the issue, as is the "they think we aren't human" line that's thrown about left and right - no gc person is saying people claiming to be "trans" aren't human or do not deserve respect, but they ARE delusional about reality, as claiming to be "trans" is a direct claim about the nature of reality.
It is also entirely separate from some conservative approach, which similarly to "trans" ideology espouses the notion that people need to conform to their "correct roles" and so on, as well as the typical conservative right-wing position being pretty anti-women's rights and generally sexist - I mean to me the conservative opinion that someone could be "less of a man" for not performing stereotypically male behaviour isn't far removed from the "trans" view on the issue so it's confusing to see TRAs accuse the gender critical side of being conservative, when the opposite is true and the TRA framing of it is very similar to a conservative approach in many regards.
Further, "trans" ideology is at times extremely homophobic, as evidenced by a significant amount of people trying to redefine same-sex attraction as "gender attraction", and the phenomenon of males denying their own homosexuality under the "trans" banner, by claiming to "transition gender" into "women" and thus reframe their same-sex attraction to other males as "not gay" because they are now claiming to be "women attracted to men" - AND, the attempted erasure of lesbian reality by males claiming to be "lesbian" by "transitioning to a woman" and being attracted to females - they are not gay, they are males attracted to females, they are straight, yet trying to redefine same-sex attraction as "same-gender" attraction, which tons of lesbians are appalled by, yet their concerns get shouted down as "transphobic".
It's not "gender ideology" it's self-ID ideology.
I mean... She did basically fall into a really obvious right-wing trap, and she's very just handed the conservatives a great big pile of anti-trans ammunition, so... Yeah. Thanks for that, Ana.
I don't really care what her intention was, or what she meant, because what she said could have come straight out of the mouth of Kari Lake, and on social media, what you say is all that really matters.
Oh well. Perhaps she'd like to clarify her position?
The disproportionate response is the main ammo for the right.
she's clarified multiple times, "anyone who is mad at me is a crazy far leftist and I'm right" she's been tweeting it over and over all day lmao

What exactly did Ana say and why won't Emma repeat it?
“I’m a woman. Please don’t ever refer to me as a person with a uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates”
This is apparently TERF according to the blue haired weirdos.
Ana read "person with uterus" in legal and medical writing and concluded the radical left just erased her womanhood.
"I'm a woman. Please don't ever refer to me as a person with the uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates. How do people not realize how degrading this is? You can support the transgender Community without doing this s***."

Ana has been tripping lately. Using right wing framing, fawning over Shapiro during their recent debate, constantly chiming in "not all Republicans, etc." I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt but I have my eye on her.

The idea that Women should be quite about their rights because it's not politically correct is insane. Women will continue to speak. We care about our rights no matter the "climate"
What women’s rights are being threatened by the highly specific use of the term “birthing person?”
@@Zarastro54 dehumanisation of women starting with language. ALL of women rights matter because of the sex category, when that is removed then we have no rights to our own sports, pay equality and all rights that are sex based. Language matters a great deal
@@Mscugu How does this term meant to broadly include trans men and nonbinary people who may still have the capacity to give birth dehumanize women? The term isn’t meant to replace “woman,” nobody is trying to make it a common thing outside the medical or legal field, and I severely doubt that you can find even ONE example of someone calling a cis woman a “birthing person” to her face instead of a “woman.” It’s really more like an even less commonly used version of “person of color,” a broad category that _includes_ women.
She didn't say anything wrong though. She's a woman and wants to be referred to as a woman. Also, why would trans men be okay being referred to as "persons with a uteras"? Even within a medical context, how is it okay?
Why can't it just be woman, men, trans women and trans men? The "trans" prefix is there for a reason.

@@free2express08 It's an utterly ridiculous assertion to make, and I notice I see it made against TYT a lot.
The problem is ana is acting like there's a systemic 1:1 replacement of the term women and that's just not the case. No one is calling someone a "birthing person" interpersonally unless they're a weirdo or if it matters to that conversation, the point of more specific terms like "birthing person" (yes they can sound real goofy) is to be accurate and specific about what you're talking about. I don't know ana and I wouldn't *call her a birthing person* because I have no earthly idea if that's even the case. Hell I wouldn't likely even call her a "woman" directly to her face, because I would call her ana or some other personal identifier.

Why not just use male and female in medicine? If gender is a social construct, and woman does not equal female, then that's fine. Totally on board with that, trans women are women.
Trans women are not biological females though. So why create these "technical" terms when technical terms already exist?
And if the point the trans community is making to diminish Ana's stance, that these are only used in medicine so it doesn't matter to you, is valid; then why does it matter if they use male and female in this context?
They say over and over that gender and sex aren't the same. Which I agree with btw. So why do we need to create new terminology for sex?
When all this started getting big many of us (leftist feminists), started using "female" as a way to address inclusiveness, like you are saying. It was ROUNDLY rejected, and trans women started saying that they were female. Transmen don't want to be called female. It's gotten so ridiculous that I just don't care what they want anymore. I'm not playing.
This is a point I try to make from time to time. If sex and gender are different, then why is it a problem to refer to biological sex when it matters? Almost all trans people are hostile to this suggestion. It hurts their feelings and that’s all that matters.

@@shanihandel9621 it truly is regressive
Trans masc folks are often excluded from critical medical care (reproductive, pregnancy, & OBGYN cancer screenings) bc the lack of standardized language recognizing their needs.
Tra-knees belong in a straight jacket.
So language keeps someone with a vagina realizing they need to go to a gynecologist? Are you kidding me?
The care a trans pregnant person would receive is the same care a biological woman would receive. Stop complicating basic facts.
I think in any context the term sounds absolutely ridiculous. Why would it not be ok to say “biological female.” That’s more a medical term than “birthing person.” If someone has an issue with that that’s fine they can call themselves “birthing person” but to see someone on the house floor saying “birthing person” to a politician is ridiculous and it does sound somewhat demeaning.
In medical and law terminology you kind of want things to be precise and birthing person is more fitting when talking about matters of pregnancy. This term isn't being pitched as a replacement for woman and Ana's outrage was misplaced because it's not policing what terms she wants to use in her personal life. If you were to use the term biological female when talking about pregnancy you're also excluding the many cisgender women who can't get pregnant, both by choice and from unwanted circumstances. Having medical and legal literature use the term biological female to refer to matters of pregnancy is demeaning to women who don't have the ability to get pregnant and serves the long standing institutional sexism and conservative beliefs of a womans role as being to primarily to have babies. Birthing person is just a specific term for a specific sub category of people to be used in official settings, you are free to use whatever terms you are comfortable with in your personal life and unless you work around things like abortion law or obstetrics then you probably will barely even encounter the term and if you do work in those fields then I'd imagine you'd have more pressing concerns than a term sounding silly or awkward.
I don’t like being referred to as that. It makes my feel less than.
yes, the left demeans women
Did you just identify sexism in self-ID language? Don't you know that makes you a conservative?
OMG!!!! Women have the right to feel how they feel. Just say woman. It’s not our fault ppl can’t handle their own reality. Women are not obligated to fight for trans ppl. Sorry, but that’s true.

"I don't think Ana is anti-trans" didn't age well, thanks to Ana and Cenk....😅
Telling the truth isn't anti-trans.
Emma definitely wouldn't be this charitable to any other person making this exact same tweet.
She would criticize the person and actually show the tweet in question.
This was highly biased.
Anna screwed up and then doubled down, but worse it's a pattern. To paraphrase HC, "I'm not saying she is anti-trans, the anti-trans people think she is anti-trans."
I completely agree that on a individual level we should refer to people in the way they wish, and Anna has that right just as much as anyone else. "Birthing Person" is clunky language, and referring to "people who can become pregnant" or "pregnant patients" makes more sense in a medical context. The problem is that her "birthing person" meltdown wasn't the only issue. Her position on transgender athletes is just as damaging. The crux of the issue is her platform. While I can give average people a pass for a making a problematic statement if they are willing to have a conversation about it, Anna is on another level. With TYT as a platform her bad takes are heard by many reasonable people who are not knowledgeable about transgender issues. Some of the "movable middle" WILL hear here arguments and believe that we (as transgender people) are making unreasonable demands, or that there may be some truth to the allegations made by people on the right. As I eluded to in above, the anti-trans far right is already quoting her as "proof" that even the left is starting to turn on transgender people.
This reminds me of gay people calling straight people "breeders."
It’s not anti trans to not want to be referred to in these terms.
Exactly. I understood her saying what she chooses for her own life and I agree. Ana wasn't using anti-trans rhetoric against anyone. Ana has used gender-neutral terms in many contexts.
Noone is referring to her individually by any of those terms, people use those terms when speaking generally about a group of people effected by a specific issue, because it's both more inclusive and more accurate, and being against that IS anti-trans.
@@free2express08 It's anti trans rhetoric, though it may be accidental. Its not anti trans to want to avoid the terms, but these terms exist in law so that trans men can't be denied medical care or other legal protections they need by people who want to hurt them, and complaining about it existing in law is thus potentially harmful to trans men. I have not heard it used by anyone not referring to such subjects, let alone using said terms in the singular to refer to others so I would have to assume this is what she is reacting to.
Nobody has ever referred to her in those terms. Those are specific medical or legal terms used in the right context.
It's anti-trans to call trans men "women".
Why is it wrong for someone to want to be identified a certain way? I thought that was part of the package. You are referred to the name you want, you get the pronouns you want, you should be able to be referred how you want.
Call non binary and trans a "pregnant person" if that is how they want to be addressed. Call cis women "pregnant women" if that is how they want to be addressed. Allow ALL PEOPLE to be addressed how they want to be addressed, including women born with XX chromosomes
I don't get why this is a controversy. She's clearly NOT anti-trans. She just doesn't like being referred to as a "baby factory" or "person whose only purpose is providing men with eggs to fertilize." It's a very insulting and dehumanizing term to reduce someone to their ability to produce offspring. The term "birthing person" is one step removed from "brood mare" or "bitch" (in dog-breeding terms).
It’s just biology, you don’t get to hyphenate my identity to appease yourself. I’m a man, not a cis man. My wife is not a cis woman or a birther. I can respect anyone to live their life they way they see fit, it’s not my business so I am 1000% unbothered by trans ppl. HOWEVER, you do not get to rename my identity and call me transphobic when I reject that. If you want me to respect your gender identity, respect mine.
I grew up with gender dyphoria and I hate everything about Trans ideology. You don't have to pretend to respect narcissists.
We always called that Heterosexuality with extra steps.
Cis is a latin prefix
I mean, you can argue with reality all you want, but by scientific standards, you're still a cis man, and your wife is still a cis woman
She just said what many think, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I hate to break the news but there isn't ever going to be a Utopia with everyone coming together, it's all downwards and onwards from here, we have get used of people disagreeing with each other, just don't watch sh!t you don't like.
she just parrots anti trans activists
It’s obtuse claiming that calling a woman a woman is “anti-trans”.
No one is saying that a woman should not be called a woman. I as a trans woman demand that all women be called women,... including trans women. So you are barking up the wrong tree there. People are saying that calling a person that bears a Uterus, a woman, excludes transgender men, and non-binary people that bear uteruses. (Uteri??) The problem seems to be that conservatives equate ALL people with uteruses = women. When that is total bullshit. Anna, as a leftist, should KNOW this. The ONLY people applauding her,...are conservatives. That should tell her how wrong she is.
@@clarissanavarro2762 you’re not a woman. You even lead with the disqualifying modifier “trans-woman”. It’s like saying false-woman because you’re not an adult human female and you know this. No one has to participate in your delusions.
@@clarissanavarro2762 In addition not all women have working uteruseses or the ability to conceive. Using the term "woman" or "female" broadly when talking about pregnancy also excludes many cis women. It also plays into the long standing conservative view that a women's primary purpose is to make babies plays into the longstanding institutional sexism that has plagued the medical field. A lot of people have issues with this language on a personal level but it's for medicine and law where precise if clunky language is important, like you say people are still going to be using the term woman. Precise medical jargon isn't trying to replace all language.
Cis women are also targeted and have been targeted for millennia. Like you said, her track record speaks for itself so, why are you decontextualizing her experience and invalidating how she feels by continuing that cycle of abuse?
She wants to be referred to as a woman, without going into specifics and that's a boundary I'm going to respect.
This response to her has been so lizard-brained it's unreal. Like do you think she's not aware of transphobic legislation and attacks against that vulnerable intersection and her expertise as a journalist wasn't present when she made that statement?
Weird fucking way to treat a dear friend.
She is so transphobic that they ended up driving away the one trans employee they had
@@ivnarc6430 Yeah, she went full bigot on the trans athlete stuff.
This though, was narcissistic abuse on the part of a fringe community.
This video makes me feel so let down by you guys. I don't know anything about Ana Kasparian other than that she said something really transphobic on twitter recently, and suddenly everyone seems to be coming out of the woodwork to be like, "I disagree what she said, but she is NOT anti-trans!", and it's really discomforting. Like instead of making this about a famous left wing person saying something transphobic, it's about how, don't worry, she's said enough pro-trans things that it's actually ok.
For an analogy that might be understandable for white women. Some left wing guy named Bob is like "I think that women are stupid compared to men", and then all his male friends are like "I'm great friends with Bob and while I really disagree with his statement, he has a history of being pro-women," and Majority Report comes out with a video titled 'Bob is not anti-women'. Like, I hope most white women (on the left) will be like "wtf??". In this case, some cis person says something transphobic, and then all their cis friends are tripping over themselves to explain how they aren't actually transphobic. It's honestly really insulting. The video itself isn't the worst thing ever, but the title really soured it for me.
I honestly feel like women as a whole are too blinded by excitement from going through a collective "Girl Power!" phase, to care about any other group besides women in any significant way. Hopefully that changes some time soon. Just for clarity's sake I am pro-woman and pro-trans. Just confused about the world rn.
it is is impossible to hold both womanhood and pro trans identities simultaneously in your heart. the ideology of genderism inherently implies your identity doesn't matter
I called in Friday to address this bathwater take on the matter and they pretty much brushed me off.
@@johnsushi2007 chilling
If you want to avoid transphobic rhetoric, it's not white women you need to avoid, it's black women.
Ana is awful she's been awful.... Totally unlistenable
If she's not anti-trans, why is she repeating transphobic talking points that utilize a false premise? Her tweet was nearly identical to one Tucker Carlson made (and Rowling). She has shown she doesn't care to dive into why it's wrong or what its impact is on trans people.
She asked to stop being referred by as a “person who can give birth” the same way Latinos are asking to stop being referred to as “Latinx”
I support LGTBQ rights but forcing labels on to others who give support isn’t the way to go.
I support her and Latinos who are against others forcing labels on them they don’t want.
This is the epitome of SJW shit. People are pissed off at someone who has spent countless hours defending them because she doesn’t want a label forced on to her the same way trans people don’t want to be mislabeled. Not a good way to treat those who are and have been an ally to the community and their cause.
Okay that's nice and all but the "person who can give birth" or "uterus haver" or whatever term people have issue with is barely even being pushed on people. Like what it shows up in occasional clinical papers? Oh, it's recommended language for news coverage of reproductive laws from the right wing? Nobody is being called these terms directly, so when she flips out over this, it's derangement.
Youre actually completely wrong about how Latin Americans feel about "Latinx"
@@edwinrollins142 How so? The community in which I live comprises of many Latinos and none of them like the phrase “Latinx” including the liberals.

They’re either indifferent to it or dislike it very much.
@@TheVGCommentary oh, so you asked all of them? Wow, impressive.
Well, polling indicates that most native Spanish speakers actually just dont really care, and those that view it either positively or negatively are heavily correlated by their age cohort, along with additional correlation based on education and gender.

That's just factually untrue, and is just based off of your personal experiences in the specific online circles you frequent. There are countless instances of it being used online and being received positively.
>"I haven't seen one instance of it being used..."
Again, based on your own limited personal experience. I've experienced numerous instances of native Spanish speakers using it.
As a person with absolutely no more uterus (after a medically necessary operation years and years ago), I am so deeply disappointed by Ana's take, that I immediately finished my TYT-abo, even though I mostly preferred their content over (soorryy!) Majority Report and even more over HR (and boy, did boring Matt Binder find a good and serious answer to Ana's dumb Twitter, I loved him for that one!) - I will return to TYT the moment Ana will find a way to apologize, not only to Trans People, but also to women (of course "we" use that term, when it is correct!!) who are offended by her unwanted inclusion into the dark realm of TERFism. What a mess!
Why are you coddling her? She is a journalist. She knows better. She knows what she is saying. This is an issue she is informed about and she decided to tweet a TERF talking point. Whether she is aware of her bias or not does not matter. No normal person informed on the issues has that thought unless a bias exists. When you break it down, what that talking point says is, "I don't want to be referred to as a person in a context in which trans people are also referred to as people. I want the language in these circumstances to revolve around my personal preferences because *I* am a *legitimate* member of this group." What she has done in the past does not matter. And, she and her employer have doubled down on her statement. She made a choice. A series of choices really, when you consider how it's been handled afterwards. It is absolutely transphobic and dangerous to push that talking point right now. Especially in her position. But I guess your buddy's fee-fees getting hurt is more important than people's lives.
calm down, incubator. She can pick her pronouns just as much anyone else.
"Dear friend" with an transphobic leftists, might want to rethink that or make her explain WTF she's doing aiding with the right by publicly using their anti trans language IN PUBLIC

People have different levels on different topics and language is one of the more complicated parts of trans-inclusionary actions. Of course Ana does not want to be referred to as "a person with a womb" its dehumanising. It is not a description for any woman. It is reducing a woman down to the ability to carry a child. It is also creating more categories for something that is really fluid.
Trans-inclusionary language shouldn't degrade or dehumanise cis women. People may argue it doesn't or that it covers a group of women, not individual women, but it has to be accepted that people have widely different understandings of words and concepts. People's reactions to Ana, a longtime ally for the LGBTQ community, is ridiculous.
Language is hard, complicated and varies from person to person. How about we dont crucify allies over only recently coined terms and phrases. Like saying "AFAB person of birthing" is not as clear and concise and you may hope to to be.

I wonder why women are referred to as "a person with the uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates" but men aren't referred to as "a person with a scrotum, an ejaculating semen person or a person with an erection".
It's not that "women" are being referred to as "people with uteruses", it's that not all people with uteruses are women, and not all women, not even all cis women, have uteruses, so, when speaking in general terms about issues that effect people with uteruses, using that term is both more inclusive and accutate.
Also, "people with penises/testicles/prostates" is absolutely used all the time to include trans women when discussing those medical issues, so you're just factually wrong in trying to claim it's one-sided.
@@edwinrollins142 Not nearly as often, but even if that were the case, it's still ridiculous. In a medical setting , a person's biological status is what's important -so using jargon is pointless.

Michael Brooks had an enormous influence on Ana. She could say some really stupid shit (I remember years ago where she said she didn't like socialism because she wanted to choose what shoes she wore). Then she met Michael. The change was significant. She became far more thoughtful and much kinder. I am sad to say is reverting back to the twit she used to be.

@@maruraba1478 She's said some pretty sus shit about trans people going back to at least 2018. It's not just a single tweet.
No one needs labelling "cis", as the terms "man" or "woman" suffice perfectly, activists insist on it for political reasons when in actuality the divide woman / "trans woman" is already 100% clear. A "trans woman" is not a subcategory of women, females, they are a subcategory of men, MALES. This ridiculous attempt to redefine words is not innocent and natural, it is political and nefarious, and it is not "kind" to play along with attempting to remove the ability of females to identify as a sex class - a woman is an adult human female, it is not some "feeling" or performance or adopting sexist stereotypes, it is a physical reality and not an "identity", nor need women take on the problems of sexist and delusional narcissistic males. People who are "marginalised" by their personal choices and mental health issues which they refuse to treat do not get to dictate how the rest of society functions.
Simple questions; how is "gender identity" any different from what sexist stereotypes a person feels drawn to? And, if sex and gender are separate, then why should "transitioning gender" allow MALES into FEMALE-ONLY spaces, they never changed, nor can they change, their sex. How is removing the rights of females to single-sex spaces progressive? How is centering male feelings over female rights "feminist"?
See, explain exactly why it is that we can't expand the definition of "man", but we apparently MUST redefine "woman" to accommodate delusional sexist males. Why? "Words change, words evolve". All people claiming to be "trans women" are MALE. The definition of woman is adult human female - and you lot think we should completely uproot that objective reality based definition in order to appease male emotions (delusions) , but in turn redefining "man" is out of the question? And you claim to be fighting sexism? Males who are drawn to sexist stereotypes associated with the female sex cannot be seen as "men" anymore, because they aren't "manly" enough, so we should see and "accept" them as "women" - that is what you lot are pushing for, and it's regressive and sexist to the core, yet you will scream til you are blue in the face that it is about progress and equality, "human rights" and "feminism". What a load of cobbled together utter nonsense.
I think it is a point of great confusion among TRAs, that they think the gender critical position is full of "hate", or fear of "trans" people etc., when it is not, it is a fundamental disagreement on how to view reality, sexism, how society functions, physical reality and the function and purpose of biological structures - the gender critical position is saying the "trans" position is an incorrect and fundamentally regressive and sexist perception of reality, and the purpose is to change people's perception, to liberate people from such restrictive sexist opinions. There is no desire to harm "trans" people, not at all, but a desire to change their perception of the world, human biology and what it means to be a man or woman. There is no desire to see "trans" people die etc., which is why the cries of "genocide" are usually met with disbelief and mockery, because it's such an absurdly incorrect framing of the issue, as is the "they think we aren't human" line that's thrown about left and right - no gc person is saying people claiming to be "trans" aren't human or do not deserve respect, but they ARE delusional about reality, as claiming to be "trans" is a direct claim about the nature of reality.
It is also entirely separate from some conservative approach, which similarly to "trans" ideology espouses the notion that people need to conform to their "correct roles" and so on, as well as the typical conservative right-wing position being pretty anti-women's rights and generally sexist - I mean to me the conservative opinion that someone could be "less of a man" for not performing stereotypically male behaviour isn't far removed from the "trans" view on the issue so it's confusing to see TRAs accuse the gender critical side of being conservative, when the opposite is true and the TRA framing of it is very similar to a conservative approach in many regards.
Further, "trans" ideology is at times extremely homophobic, as evidenced by a significant amount of people trying to redefine same-sex attraction as "gender attraction", and the phenomenon of males denying their own homosexuality under the "trans" banner, by claiming to "transition gender" into "women" and thus reframe their same-sex attraction to other males as "not gay" because they are now claiming to be "women attracted to men" - AND, the attempted erasure of lesbian reality by males claiming to be "lesbian" by "transitioning to a woman" and being attracted to females - they are not gay, they are males attracted to females, they are straight, yet trying to redefine same-sex attraction as "same-gender" attraction, which tons of lesbians are appalled by, yet their concerns get shouted down as "transphobic".
I don't know if I fully agree with Kasparian, but she is correct in saying "birthing person" alienates waves of people who are otherwise not meaningfully anti-trans and can be seen as objectifying to cis women.
There needs to be a change to language; birthing person isn't it.
We already had the perfect word for it: female.
she had some valid points, but she stated them in a combative manner as if she wanted a fight instead of a discussion.
regardless of this issue, ana has not been helpful to the democrats for awhile, so idc. i don’t like tyt. & it’d be great if they’d lose popularity.
She will be on the Joe Rogan podcast pretty soon.
You heard it here first.
She's been on Rogan before.
I like ana but I do think it would be hilarious if she and Dave rubin became friends again and she went full “ex Leftie”
You mean like Bernie?
I unsubscribed from TYT some time ago because of something Ana said that really made me question how much she had been keeping up to date on queer issues. She scoffed about there being a plus sign at the end of LBGT+. She said something to the effect of, “What does the plus sign even mean?!?” in a condescending tone. I brought it up in the comment section, as did others, but to my knowledge she never addressed it. I was then bullied off the TYT channel by some of her diehard followers for simply pointing out how she came across and explaining what the plus sign meant.
This was after 15 years of TYT viewership.
@@lindenchisholm I think you're justified in your choice. TYT was good for a time but we're all kind of passed them now. WAYYY better leftists to watch now. Especially since cenk and ana are desperate for attention so they do drama crap like this every few months. That's just sad honestly...
Sorry TYT. Luv yall more than I hate yall but you're becoming dinosaurs these days lol.
CDC still uses the term 'women'. That statement is ridiculous.
Phew. We haven’t lost the CDC.
Kathleen Stock. UK LESBIAN FEMINIST go educate yourselves.
Anna has a lot of cringy, boomer hot takes IMO. She definitely has a "get off my lawn" vibe.
You be dodging HARD but whatevs. Just saying.
