Someone needs to look into the potential role that rampant plastic toxicity and PFAS toxicity (including the effects of modern and "old-school" synthetic birth control pill formulations), and see if any of these toxic estrogens are partially to blame for the recent and unprecedented rise in gender dysphoria cases(!?)
@@__WJK__ Good point. I wonder. I'm not well educated on all/much to do with each of these topics, but it would be good to see/have a discussion about any research being done, correlations found.
@@loganblackwood2922 oh dear. I hope and trust you find something more valuable to do with your time. Something that, you know, contributes to the greater good.
I did not have rapid onset gender disphoria - I was convinced I was meant to be a boy since as long ago as I can remember. I enjoyed ‘boy’s toys and activities’ - an archetypal extreme tomboy. My parents accepted me for the personality I had and did not force me to wear dresses and encouraged me academically. My father taught me to fish, garden and repair engines before I was 9. My friends were all male. I had an accepting community. I am soooo glad that I was raised before puberty blockers or cross sex hormones were available. I HATED PUBERTY AND MY DEVELOPING BODY FROM 10, I had very painful periods and loathed my life from starting my periods at 11 until 14/15 when I started to find boys really attractive and although I continued to prefer non- ‘extreme girly’ clothes and contined to enjoy fishing, climbing etc, I became happy in my female skin. Went on to have a long happy marriage children and grandchildren and a successful career in a ( then) male-oriented field. Had puberty blockers and ‘gender affirmation’ medicaion and surgery been available 60 years ago, I’d have shouted and screamed to get it and my life would have taken a very different and much less fulfilling course. These b……. who pretend that children ( even forcefully opinionated and articulate children like I was) can consent to life altering medication (and in every likelihood long term misery) ought be in gaol. Those who ‘groom’ on line are to be condemned
And I'm sure your children and grandchildren have benefitted greatly from your guidance based on the life skills your parents taught you. How cool is Grandma, she can fix cars and knows how to fish? How lucky they are.
It’s very good to hear that there are scientists that dare to dive into ROGD. My daughter here in Amsterdam had gender dysphoria out of the blue during the depressing lock downs when she was 13. Within a year they wanted to give her puberty blockers at the VU medical center knowing that 98% proceed into transition. I took her away from these people and by now she is happy and starting to wear female clothes and make-up again. Keep doing your good work Michael our children need you!
In the Australian state of Victoria, so much as praying for a child with gender dysphoria to recover caries a ten year jail term. I'm so pleased you could act on behalf of your child.
@@grannyannie2948 is this factual? Mmmnnhhh, I'm Australian (different state), I also read law, so I'll check this out. Something tells me this isn't accurate, but I will check.
@@permissiontoshine It's hidden in gay conversion therapy legislation, the example given is a parent praying for the recovery of a child with gender dysphoria. Presumably it also applies to doctors and therapists
The fact a scientific article can be retracted, not on the basis of any inaccuracies, debunked claims, or bad practices, but entirely because it upset a certain group of people - and those people were able to pressure the publishing company into doing it, is absolute insanity.
@@gmy33 no, it's literally retracted. Do you think things are labeled retracted without actually being retracted? The retraction is essentially due to privacy reasons, it doesnt have anything to do with the science of the article. However, it's still actually retracted. When it comes to retraction notices, you need to know why articles have been retracted. Not all retractions are created equally.
I went through a phase where I liked to wear dresses and play with dolls. I liked being around girls more and felt comfortable acting like a girl. My parents never acted out about it or encouraged it. They just let me be. I grew out of it; I’m not even gay. I’m as boringly heterosexual as they come. Whether they knew what they were doing or not, the way my parents handled it was probably the best way.
Being hetero is not boring. That's what these people want you to believe. It's natural and normal. My generation was convinced that the world was going to be over populated so half of Gen X never had kids. We didn't realize they were planing an demographics shift and overwhelm our country to usher on a one world government.
@@amyfromcali9051 Eh... nevermind. None. I read the OP wrong. Apologies. I thought it said that the behaviour was discouraged and it stopped the person from being gay/trans. I'll retract my comment.
I think part of the reason proponents are so extreme in their reaction to any opposition is that they can’t even consider the possibility that they are wrong because if they are wrong the implications of what they have caused to happen is actually horrifying.
Definitely. Can you imagine supporting gender reassignment surgery, either having it done to someone you know, a family member or yourself and the horror of contemplating that it was all a mistake. Those removed or altered body parts can never go back to normal. This realisation must be to frightening to comprehend. So you have to double down.
Yup. Thats why it is not possible to have an objective discussion about the topic with them. You could probably count on one hand the number of the worst proponents of eugenics who ever revised their opinions when presented with strong evidence. As to accept their beliefs as wrong would ve to accept oneself as guilty of genocide.
I'm a biological female and a very big "tomboy" my ENTIRE life. I'm sure happy that nobody told me I should've been a male!! Happily a mother, grandmother and great grandmother....Soooo happy I was " ALLOWED to be ME!! May everyone walk in good health, happiness, peace and freedom!
And nobody tells anyone what gender they are besides transphobes. Funny that. Also, you should read the article and click some links. Parent's reports are not evidence for what their children think and feel, despite how the article lies even about what Littman's study is about and what it shows. The one piece of "evidence" that it has. If you're for freedom, then you should support trans health care and their freedom to transition and be themselves instead of letting others tell them what gender they are and that they're have a pathology to pretend otherwise.
@@stylis666you meant besides trans activists? Oh, and there is no such thing as gender. Don't force your beliefs on others. In many languages there isn't even such a word, only sex.
@@tamashumi7961 And in many languages there are many genders and more than two sexes. There are many languages that don't recognise colours that we have a name for, and many that have different colour names for what we would call hues and shades. Language differs and does not dictate reality. The word gender discribes how people experience their gender identity. What you are saying is that you don't acknowledge that people experience their gender identity at all. You're not a mindreader, so I know for a fact that you're just pulling it out of your arse, and if it were true then you wouldn't know anyone's gender without seeing theie genitals because gender expression would also not be a thing, or gender roles, or gemdered clothing. Anyway, rule of thumb: your entire identity isn't dictated by the existence of any single organ. I am not my cock. I have a cock. That's different. Just as you are not stupid and evil, you just have backwards and false ideas and the false impression that you are correct when you are demonstrably not. You'd do well to think before speaking/typing, so to not make such of a bigoted ass out of yourself. Unless that's the look you're going for of course. It is very popular to be wrong and malinformed. It's not very practical or functional in the long term though. The world will progress regardless of whether you (want to) belong to a group or dinosaurs or a group of progressive people.
This man is a professor that truly seems to want to seek the truth. His comment on academic freedom at the end was the cherry on top. We need more academics like him in the world.
When I was a boy , I liked to dance and paint. Sports were not my favorite, though I did love windsurfing. I was singled out by teachers and back then, they tries to force me into their mood of what a boy should be. Later in life, I went to live in Latin America when a man that dances is considered macho. I became a total stud. I dread to think what they would have done to me today.
If a girl shows typically male interest or a boy shows typically female interest, they are going to be asked if they want to transition. A relative who is a girl keeps getting told by her teacher that she is a boy. She tells the teacher that she is a girl, but the teacher won't stop calling her a boy. I don't know if she is going to get removed from the class or not.
@@brendalg4 I was totally a boy. But in an inventor, artist, philosopher, writer, guitar playing way. I played squash, tennis, cricket, football, hockey etc. But I loved windsurfing and sailing because it was like being one with nature. I lived to dance and later martial arts too. It's just people have very limited ideas about what a boy should be into. Beer trucks and football for men and make-up, shoes and gossip for women. Very limited. Even some of the gayest dudes can be quite macho in a stereotypical way. People are Fked up and need others to sort into their categories., even if it means operating on them. Sickos.
1990s epidemnic. I met with a young college student back then about career. He told me he was socially inept and isolated because he was sexually abused by his parents as a child. I asked him how he knew this. He said his therapist told him. I asked how many sessions he had with this therapist. He said just one. Iaskede if he rembered this abuse in any way. He said no. I asked him if he was afrai8d of his parents. He said no. Knowing his local ethnic culture, I asked him if his parents kept him safe by allowing him to play outsside only in their back yard. By himself. For years. Not peculiar to his family. A local custom, the parents anxiety and fear ridden (for good historical reasons). I got blunt. I said he was socially inept because of all that isolation. And he could learn to socialize by behavioral counseling andv coaching. I also asked him to get a second opinion from another therapist. He aggreed, and seemed to be relived. I asked him why he looked so relieved,. He sai the therapiost had told him he needed to work with her alone, ant consult any other therapist. Now he felt he could see another therapist because I said he should. He saw a new therapoist, He too up behavioral traing for socializing. We hit upon a craaer that would fir him, engage his mind and feelings. He never saw the original therapist. Everything worked out well enough.
So glad when he brought up the 90s fad of "repressed sexual trauma" that psychologists could insist were present in women that hadn't actually been sexually been abused. The therapy would convince some women and induce false memories that would result in actual trauma. This was a very real and serious thing, yet this podcast is only the 2nd time I've ever heard it mentioned. Human psychology can be incredibly susceptible to negative or harmful malleability
That gets even more complicated though. Because after there were a spate of me too hynosis regression false reports there was then a counter fad of reports of false regressions which actually were not false and had really happened. So that was a huge shit show. Cos a lot of kids who they found to have been falsely regressed had been put back in homes with absuers and so yeah its not so clear cut with that situation. Which he didnt mention the whole lash back to that also being a sort of fad. I suppose its similar to the me too and then anver heard and then the lashback to that has consequences. The balance isnt easy i supoose.
It wasn’t just women it was men too. My brother went off to one of these retreatment weekends in order to dig up his past trauma. He came back and sat down with my parents to announce that despite all his best efforts he just couldn’t find an incident he was abused in any way. I think it was meant to be reassuring to my parents but it had the opposite effect.
There is a similar problem with ACES. If you spend decades telling people that if you don't feel well it's because they were traumatized they are going to retroactively label their childhoods as traumatic when asked about it.
Thank you for having him on, I doubt many are aware of Bailey, or the others, doing this work. If you get a chance, speak to Professor Michael Biggs - he's shown that, "the Dutch Protocol" upon which virtually all modern day Trans treatment is based, & is referenced by WPATH - is horrifically flawed. This is still a medical scandal, still waiting to happen.
Thanks for adding that info about Prof. Michael Biggs and the 'Dutch Protocol.' I now have more to research and add to my growing list of validation that this is all another psyop, and social contagion, being inflicted on a malleable population. Shocking and scary times, indeed.
It seems we are awash in quackery and charlatanism passing itself as scientifically established expertise. So once again we find the authorities are pack of liers circling the wagons.
Not only that, it had poor outcomes, even while having more exclusive eligibility standards applied to the participants than what is being done currently. Most of the patients recently receiving "gender affirmation" based procedures, would have been excluded from the original study.
As an older person I have not seen so many messed up individuals respecting obsessive behaviors. From eating disorders, to obsessions of different types like extreme need to tidy up, to clean, etc. And there is an obsessive need to look and be the same as every one else. I speak mostly of younger people. Meeting them I could feel empathy and sadness but also some level of shock at how many suffer from various obsessions. Unbalanced comes to mind. It seems to me that many younger people were ripe to being plucked from their lives to taking on certain trends as a way to 'fix' themselves. It feels so wrong and so tragic. Then, along comes these freakos calling themselves pediatricians, shrinks etc. pulling this gender affirmation theory to guilt parents and others to agreeing to a child's dysphoria or mental illness. It is a far darker story than most humans have any comprehension of and jumping on the trans train quickly to 'solve' a problem is a grave error. A red flag is when the progressives so called, all side with the trend, the pronouns, the flags etc. Nothing feels right, balanced or in the best interests of the child or adult who is suffering.
Buddy, I hate to break it to you...but older people just drank those compulsions away and abused people around them. You don't think the 56 year old man who's had the same lunch at his work everyday for 30 years isn't suffering the same sort of issues ?
Skindred, you know a lot. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've watched this snowballing foolishness for a long time. I was there so I can say you're assessment of older people is uninformed to be polite about it. Life is far to easy in the west these days. It wasn't as hard for us as it was for our "old people" but in comparison to today it was difficult. We created a world that produced a bunch of soft unchallenged people with nothing better to do than dream up dumbass issues where none existed. @@skindred1888
@@skindred1888 They believed the system will always work because it did when they were younger. Only the unfortunate get the truth shoved down their throat
From the article: "The finding is concerning because youth with mental health issues may be especially likely to lack judgment necessary to make these important, and in the case of medical transition permanent, decisions." "Lack of judgement" is probably an obsolete term. Much because humans with conflicting ideas or problems have an "urge" to have the pain go away. Discomfort is a strong feeling that easily out-competes long term planning and diverse and calm reasoning. Pain makes humans self occupied and intollerant. My thinking and my feelings take priority. It is natural and quite kogic, You will alter pehaviour towards dealing with your own urges when they are urgent. As you read in the report, prior "mental issues" is common. Mental pain and distress makes you narcissistic. The problem is the current trend is to grant the selfish human with strong feelings even more priority. Being important is gratified and saluted. People who say they are important are heroes. Especially if you express pain and even better if you can express victimhood. Then we are all ears. In a world where we regard everything generated by SELF as sacred our hands are tied. Irony, humor, critisism, suspicion with regard to possible flaws in human thinking is forbidden.
I was a mother of two in the early eighties, a boy and a girl. Kids come up with all sorts of things, say things and do things they don't understand and sometimes just do it for attention. All I can say is let kids be kids, let them play outside with other kids and have fun; life for kids is so serious these days when this period of their life should be the best. Those who want to force kids to identify as a specific gender, shame on you! This scientist deserves an award, not cancelling, cancel those who would cancel.
These kids like to be gender queer because they wanna be cool with peers and rebel from their parents. You should start behaving like a guy and trying to sound like one and dress like one, and that'll solve your child girl's "I wanna be a man" behavior because it'll suddenly be very very uncool. Same goes for men with children and male children. Just fully embrace their crap and pretend to be what they want to be and suddenly they'll hate it.
Absolutely key to every child’s development psychologically, emotionally, socially & need to learn critical analysis as too many adults our age act like Ostriches, stay silent as if complicit in this WEF BRAINWASHING to thrust confusion for easier brainwashing especially as TrudITLER PUSHED Alienation from their parents- their major life supports & wiser guidance than sheeple peers! Fux TrudItler & WEF CRAP
I have never had any issue with gender identity. But I can say that when I was a young child I remember my mum telling me she wanted me to be a girl. As she had already had my brother and they had no desire to have more children. I remember wanting so badly to be a girl just to make my mum happy. But she explained she is not upset or sad I am a boy. She loves me no matter what. Which now as an adult I 100% understand. Yet I can only imagine if I had voiced this concern to a "modern" teacher. They would have ruined my life off of a single simple non contextual comment made by my mother. Just because I was not mature enough to understand the meaning behind my mums words.
I am gay and I have no 'gender identity'. I am 73 and absolutely none of my heterosexual or gay male friends experienced a 'gender identity'. We never said"I identify' as anything. To do so is a new social construction.
The whole "I identify as" thing is a phony idea anyway. The act of identification takes an observer. What we conjure in our heads is irrelevant from the point of identification.
Yup. im gay and i never struggled with my gender. i just knew i didnt like females and i liked males. Im sure if i were a child i could have been convinced into being confused about my gender, but that confusion would have come from adults making it confusing and confusing me, not from my own thoughts.
What is your definition as gender? What does the word substantiate in your mind? I’m asking as a curious person without judgement or using malice intent. Genuinely curious as I don’t understand what and why the term is being thrown around like it’s a religion or cult. Can people not treat other people just like a normal person? Why do we have to differentiate what gender we have to identify as? What purpose does that bring into a conversation between friends? Have society become so judge mental or sick in the mind, that a label suddenly makes a person saintly because of a label and not despite of the actions they have taken in life? It’s not like a title such as Sir or Dr. why do people self assign a label and believe they are entitled to feel special without any effort? It works in a game fantasy sphere, but why is it being taken out of context into life, when we know things that are in play, in a game that is constructed specifically with different attributes to real life? Have people finally lost their touch to reality and fell into mental despair without the faculty to separate fantasy and reality? Do we all need a sticker that says we are special despite it only being a sticker? Sorry, I’ve been living under a rock and do not use social media, for obvious reasons…
Hold up! You're telling me that people who believe to be something they are not, and claim that their subjective selfperception overrides reality... these people are cancelling a scientist who does accurate, truthful research? I never would have guessed that! 🙃
My son went through something similar. As a parent, all I could do was love unconditionally. That was three years ago and he has outgrown it to a large extent. I never judged him or gave any negative comments or attitude. We walked that journey together and I gave him all the space he needed to discover his identioty and explore it as he needed to. He is in a straight relationship now and happy. All three of my children have explored their sexuality within the comfort of a healthy parent child relationship. We have no secrets , no lies, just love and trust. Parents need to understand that their children are unique individuals. As long as their behaviour is non destructive to their health and that of others, let them discover who they are.
Everyone is sleeping on this comment. Let children explore, don’t push them to plastic surgery and taking drugs that they don’t need. Let them have their natural bodies and explore their interests and they will live an uncomplicated life.
yes, exactly. my son was in adulthood, legally anyway but he wasnt gojng for any reassignment , he was at a crossroads, one which I wasnt going to hate him for but stood by his side as a parent should. He made te decison both ways, A - exploration and b) it was ultimately not for him. I will say, his mother encouraged him to consider resassignment, I'm glad he didnt go there because of the well documented risks but had he done so, I would love him as dearly as I always have.@@HonerableG
A new mom had her tending nurse changing her girl's diaper showed her clitoris to mom, a Christian that never knew what it was, hated sex, and just had to endure it for procreation. Another book banning mom said "If they find their clitoris they will masturbate". The 1st clause of Lawrence v TX states "Nothing but a penis shall legally penetrate a TX vagina, (or an IL vagina while in TX)." No dildos, fingers, or tongues were allowed in TX vaginas until SCOTUS over turned it. Scalia's dissenting statement was "The devil is Wiley". 5 recent GOP SCOTUS justices agreed with Scalia in their confirmation hearings. The 2nd clause states "A TX penis (or penis in TX) shall not legally penetrate any orifice other than a vagina". No hand jobs, or oral sex allowed in TX until SCOTUS overturned it. 6 on SCOTUS agree with Scalia's desire to outlaw blowjobs. 47 chromosome kids with dual set of sex organs might have a vagina but no overies, and a pair of testicles that didn't drop or a penis with no testicles, and ovaries with no vagina. Biological Chimerism can show child's DNA from her mom's sister who was a twin who was never born but shared DNA in the womb with the mom in her brain. Chimeras are rare, but real.
Isn’t it weird that all three of them were questioning, though? I’m not saying you or your parenting “caused” it, but if you compare the previous generations where maybe one person in a large cousin cohort was gay (but usually all of them were straight) but no more, doesn’t it strike you strange that lightening struck your family three times? Really, we need to re examen myths like “Born That Way” and realize that something very strange is going on in our society.
My younger sister is gay. She has acted like a boy since she was 5 or 6 . She dressed like a boy. It was never a problem for my parents. She is now in her 50's, still gay. She has a buzz cut. She is a trainer, with broad shoulders, very small breasts. She has a women's name. She does not say she is a man. She did not have any hormone therapy. She is happy with herself, and we, her family, are happy for/with her. Gay happens, make it simple.
I like your summation..........gay happens, make it simple. My spouse and I have both had gay members in the family tree. Everybody accepted them and loved them. Why would any sensible, considerate person wish for anything else?
Yes I was a teen in the 80s and we all practiced ideas from anorexia and even bulimia, just to maintain the fashionable "skininess". Fortunately not with lifetime changes for the majority.
My professor in college wrote a book on S&M and we spent a great deal of time discussing autogynophilia amongst other things ... sadly it was probably around the last year's of real discussions surrounding deviance of sexuality openly and honestly because of people getting offended. It's scary really because people's feelings now matter more then reality and facts.
It is a result of feminist sensitivity - on another podcast they were discussing how when men go to college they predominately come out the same value wise - and women don't- in that discussion they said men surveyed when it came to scientific findings would rather have the scientific evidence released publicly regardless of how it would affect people where as the women would rather hold back if it had the potential to hurt people's feelings. Hence believe all women was a campaign and not believe all men.
There will be a lot of damaged people in the next 20 years who bitterly regret adapting their bodies. This is so sad and dangerous that no one can tell the truth without being vilified, denied and bullied.
On the bright side, there will be less human breeding and therefore a lower population. (Which I believe is the actual end goal of this nonsense.🤔) They can't force people to sterilize themselves so the convince people to sterilize themselves. It's brain washing for the purpose of population control. Pure and simple.
If the tolerance issue is a "thing", as described by Chris, then why isn't there a 4000% increase in middle aged women coming out as trans, like there is amongst teen aged girls?
@@brushstroke3733 amen. I would have thought this would have been obvious to the above commentor, but... 🙄🙄🙄 One of the wonderful things about maturity, regardless of what age we develop it, is that we can distinguish between facts and beliefs, examine different points of view, agree to disagree, agreeably. Getting 'trapped' in a very narrow bandwidth of understanding any particular issues does nobody any favours.
@@brushstroke3733 I think this phenomenon clearly illustrates that this "craze" is not due to genuine trans-gender feelings but rather it is a social media driven issue.
@@douglasherron7534 Perhaps, but there may be other enviromental factors involved as well, for example, the pollutants that cause male frogs to become gay male frogs. Studies show that sperm counts and testosterone levels in human males ars dropping, which are likely caused by pollutants. These same pollutants may be interacting with the sex hormones of both males and females and contributing to social factors that appear to be encouraging these transitions.
Wow…after listening to the video and reading some comments, I am so glad that I moved to the Yukon Territory where you can be who you want to be with no stigma. I read one of the comments where a women was a Tom Boy, liked boys toys, had terrible periods, etc., but grew to being a girl, attracted to boys and has been married for 52 years. Could be my story except I have been married 57 years. However, as a child and young woman, I was raised in a, I guess, small, traditional town in Ontario, Canada. My Mom was totally against my Tom Boy ways and to this day says I wanted to be a boy. Fortunately, my husband and I moved to the Yukon where I could be myself….hunt, fish, drive 4x4 all over the Territory where their was roads and even if there was no roads. Also, fortunately I had 2 sons and they loved to go on adventures with me. It all worked out…my husband worked away from home 5 months of the year and I missed him but I was glad that me and the boys had lots to do and I treasure those wonderful times that we could only have had in my beloved Yukon. When our sons grew up with lives of their own I continued to have wonderful adventures with my husband after we retired.
Thing is if u had daughters chances are they would have also liked to go on adventures with you. Most girls are adventurous until they hit their teens and are pressured to be something else.

Interesting conversation. Thanks Chris. I would enjoy hearing more of these "cancelled" academics. Even if their theories turn out to be wrong, scientific process can't happen without the freedom to be publicly incorrect.
These people are way more honest. No child should be subjected to these treatments. Only at age 25 do you actually have common sense and are not influenced by friends and social media. Most kids go through stages. These so called doctors who use puberty blockers or hormones are destroying children's lives.
He wasn't cancelled. His work was "retracted" and he stated why.... He had a non-academic gather data without following the normal protocol Also, the audience they sampled the data from seemed pretty biased, based on how he described them I really question the integrity of his work
@@rsbah He followed the protocol that was required of him. There was no breach of ethics. "Research" that supports many of the claims of trans activists is about as biased as it gets, and the field is full of junk science.
I find it rather interesting . When I was a teen - 80s last century - it was common ( not purely academic, actually kindof folklore ) knowledge where I lived and the circles I was in that puberty for either gender is a time of confusion, and finding ones sexual identity . It was simply accepted as a feature to be really insecure about ourselves, and who we are sexually . What did not happen was people telling us we might have been born "in the wrong body" . What also didn't happen was anyone preying on us, adivising us to surgically change our bodies the moment we expressed any kind of insecurity about our sexual identity .
I was a teen in the 80s.. grooming language and predators were everywhere then too. They were just far more more passive suggestive. Getting kids to even question nature's design on sexuality, opens the door to confusion.
Ye I always say like.. idk But isn't the whole "Journey of Self Discovery" like.. literally Self-Discovery lolol *Not --- Being told things at an age where you are highly suggestible by default
I don't know of a single teenager that loves their body, and thinks that they are in the right one. I don't know of a single teenager that didn't think the other sex had it easier and sometimes wished they'd been born the other. It's almost like puberty is a wild emotional and irrational time where you're trying to discover your identity or something
I enjoyed this conversation. Whats more, I imagine a world where we have the words to share intelligent, supportive conversations and lots of hugs with our kids about human sexuality and all the changes that happen. Letting them know they are perfectly okay right where they are. That its a few chapter in what seems like a long complicated book but, nature has been doing this for a ages and if we trust, it all works out. I hurt myself badly trying to make myself into someone who would be loved by my parents until I gave up, then, oddly we all came together. Im 52 now and my dad said he loved me just 2 weeks ago. It came from his mouth like a foreign language, but it happened. I felt a lifetime of healing in that instant. He was a truck driver and a fireman, I was a girlyboy. He had no intentions of meeting me where I was and he seemed distant, angry and unaccessible so I stayed lost for a long time. If you aren’t your child’s mentor, somebody else will be. Meet them where they are; don’t make them jump through invisible hoops for attention.
This canceling stuff is awful! I just wish people would let other people say what they want and need to say. it's better to be in the open to be able to debate then to silence!!!
That would be like the Spanish Inquisition allowing people to speak what they believed was heresy. As @loganblackwood2922 said, "ideologues don't want debate, they want conformity." They're so convinced they are on the side of good and that anyone who opposes their positions are evil that they bekieve they have the right and duty to stamp out opposition.
@@loganblackwood2922 well said. And if you have a valid argument for anything, with sufficient evidence to back up your claims, simply 'come to the table' in a healthy adult way and be open to discussing differences.
Part of the issue with victim culture and intersectional theory is the incentive to use your flaws or your psychological divergences as a crutch. In older times, you would hide that, try to act normal, etc., which wasn't ideal, but did cause many to overcome disadvantages and achieve things. In the process of creating a more inclusive world where we want to help those who are disadvantaged, we unwittingly create incentives to lean into those things to get benefits, deflect accountability, and justify our lack of success or competency, when really maybe we could achieve those things despite these hurdles. We need to be able to work towards removing those hurdles without people feeling they can't still try to overcome them if needed.
My family moved to the USA (on a permanent resident visa) in 1965, when I was 8. It was the first time I saw a TV, much less watched one. My parents were both force-feeding us advanced education, so there were years when no one watched any TV at all. During the years when we watched TV, we tended to watch little of it, or something "worthwhile" (news, the Peanuts cartoon specials, something on PBS). As a result, we did not participate nearly as much as our peers (including some of my best friends at school during this time, of a similar background, and attending the same church) in the Hypersexualized & Hypersexualizing content that most young people my age, my siblings' ages (and eventually my 3 children's ages) have been immersed in since early childhood. Most American families are not exposed to non-American content from foreign countries or outside the Anglosphere; most, therefore, are not even able to imagine that the entire world does not watch this content ("programming"... and it's called that for a reason! I worked in Hollywood for a few years as a writer & script doctor/researcher/fact checker, I know the industry very well, some of my school chums became top creators/producers on The Simpsons show, etc). Americans have been brainwashed, in utterly unsubtle ways, into imagining that if a girl is close to other girls, she must "want to have sex with them." And vice versa. That is rubbish on stilts! I have had a number of close women friends: I have never had the least interest in kissing them on the mouth, taking their clothes off or hugging them romantically! I have exchanged warm and affectionate letters with them, and sentimental gifts, but there was nothing the least sexual about any of it. And in many cases as we had our own kids, we had no time left to carry on maintaining our contact, even though, of course, we missed the conversations and had fond memories of our youth. But young kids today are being programmed to think, "I like this person, who is my sex, more than I like the opposite-sex teens who are attempting to flirt with me or date me. That means we should be Lovers (instead of just close platonic friends, as people in our 'uptight' parents' generation would have been)". It's all a Weapon of Mass Distraction, a terrible burden for young people in the most vulnerable and susceptible years of their lives, as they are just beginning to experience their own biological maturation unfolding... There's an agenda behind all of this and no, it is not difficult to figure it out. That's not to say there are not Gay people, Gay teens or people with intense attractions to someone of the same sex. But it is not credible to claim, "I feel like a woman," if you have no idea what a Woman feels like, because you have never had to deal with Menarche, Ovulation, Menstruation, Infections of the Fallopian Tubes, having a much smaller bladder, etc! The fixation on the kind of clothes people wear is also something I never understood, and that also is fed through the TV set above all. In ancient times, men wore "dresses," too (long robes). In the 17th & 18th century, wealthy men wore makeup and elaborate wigs! And vivid colors! And satin, lace, silk, velvet! Those were the fashions, and it had nothing to do with who was attracted to their own sex or having sexual experiences with both sexes (that was simply called Debauchery, not "bisexuality")!! The idea that your 5 year old boy who hates the heavy, coarse, luridly daubed clothing being sold as "Boys' " at your local lower-cost garment supply store "must be gay" because he prefers the softer, slinkier fabrics that are available to his older sister is simply more Programming. It's obviously just a result of hideous decisions being made at the apparel company, that for some reason imagine a toddler with a penis needs to be rapidly habituated to wearing sackcloth and burlap instead of combed cotton and finer shirt-quality fabrics - that do exist, and that are worn by white-collar workers, and are (for obviously valid reasons) indeed preferred by men who are more fashion-conscious (and also gay). Stop fixating on what your boy or girl child likes to wear or play with, or whether s/he seems to be "more of a tomboy" or "more of a sensitive soul." Those are personality traits and they do not need to have anything whatsoever to do with Sexuality, "identity" or subsequent life choices. Intelligent people take their time. No one needs to know everything about what they will live their life as in the first 15 years of existence! And one last thing: some women with limited experience freak out when they see their son born with a very small male organ. They think, "That's it! He's effeminate! He won't be virile! Better turn him into a girl!" Relax, stop freaking out, feed your child a normal healthy diet. Don't stint on the meals! My grandson was born "small" on a 9-pound, full-term baby body. When he was 3, he was tubby, pudgy, everyone was freaking out. Active, healthy appetite, wholesome food, only drank water (no sodas, none of that). I urged caution to everyone who was wringing their hands that he would grow up "an obese, nerdy, geeky kid." Then he hit 12. Literally in a matter of just 2-3 weeks, with no dietary or lifestyle changes at all - just the testosterone kicking in, as I knew it would - he shot up, became tall and lanky, skinny as a rail... and very well-endowed in that department. Embarrassingly so. Now, at 13 and a half, he is a tall, skinny, nerdy, geeky kid with a big appetite. And shy. And that's who he is. Stop freaking out. Do what we did: banish the TV set, if only for some years. Choose your content more carefully. *It is a parent's prerogative and obligation to choose the content that surrounds their child and makes up their home culture. Remember that. It is part of your job as a parent.*
I absolutely agree. We need to take sensible and honest conversations on sexuality away from being taboo or awkward and make them a natural, normal part of human discourse.We are highly sexual beings and that should be reflected in the importance and time we give to talking about these topics. I strongly believe this would be helpful to humanity and mark an important leap forward from the centuries where such discussions were considered shameful, greatly suppressed and even censored.
Yes...i agree...we also could be more willing to validate that these people are also often victims. It is both and... It is still not an excuse to act out. They need to be held accountable for their behaviors.Remember that KINSEY USED CHILDREN HE SEXUALLY ABUSED. Research it. Be careful who you trust and what you believe. It is fun to enterain a thought but the mentally weak will build a nest and drive through to get an instant sex change and regret it later. Lets be in the TRUTH, too. It is important to use real Science. What we all had these last several years has been trauma. Now they are reenacting the trauma.
Back in the day teenagers would become emo's or punks as part of their teenager rebellion phase... this new trend makes piercing and tattoos look mundane! I'm very glad I'm not a teenager. It must be very confusing
Wow! I definitely had Autogynephilia like symptoms from about the age of 7 from what I can remember. It wasn’t something that ever made me considered whether or not I should be it a girl or a boy (I’m a male) and into my teens it all but disappeared. With that said I think some of that is just part of the natural curiosity our growing up and leaning things. That was in the 80’s. If I was born in the mid 2000’s my path may have been very different.
Wow trans activists can cancel a scientific article in a peer reviewed journal... The world is screwed! Michael I'm glad that your paper is available and in spite of it being retracted providence through ignorance has ensured it reached a wider readership. There needs to be a big push back against the whole of the woke mind virus!
In 2010 it was estimated 2/3 of published papers are false. It's higher now in my opinion. I read the article and fully agree with the retraction, even when ignoring all bias found. Peer reviewed just means other researchers read a submission and give their opinion. What makes a study reliable is repeatability. I'm not against many things stated, but actually solid and accepted neurobiology articles continue finding physical differences in the brain always present since birth. Unlike orientation that is purely psychological in nature (as far as I know), we now know gender identity is neurological. I'm personally aware of how difficult is to have something published, all fields are unimaginably competitive and incentive to falsify data or mislead with statistics for controversial or groundbreaking results is strong even in my field, Physics, and I don't doubt social sciences, as it's harder to repeat results, have more opportunists and errors in publication, since it is a business after all and success depends on how many people are willing to pay for your content. Any publicity is good publicity, right? haha. I get it, and I even respect this guy for his perseverance despite his past failures. Anyway, my point is that the world has been screwed for as far as any of us can remember and scientific search for truth has turned into effort to dictate truth, as corrupt as politics, maybe because the two are tied together 😂 Sorry for the rambling, this video just reminded how naive we all were as students. Anyway, cheers have a pleasant day. ✌️☺️
Progressive leftists do this in every institution they are involved with . They are so narcissistic that nobody in said field is allowed to give differing world views , even when backed by evidence. They form huge angry mobs at universities when conservative speakers come to talk. They act like bullies in scientific fields whenever the research doesn’t go their way . They will lie and manipulate to discredit a person so their research doesn’t get noticed . Absolutely despicable people ..
@@pavols Thank you for making this point about the fact that this is normal for papers not to be basically automatically published. Most people don't understand how research and publishing papers work. I'm sure the vast majority of people watching the video, some might even have watch like the start and nothing else, left thinking the paper was cancelled and refused because of trans propaganda, because people were disliking the content and conclusions, when the truth is it was not most likely and it's really hard to publish pertinent and really conclusive studies. An easy example for anybody willing to be realistic and pragmatic on this topic about studies : during the XXs the tobacco industry published a ton of studies "proving" that smoking isn't dangerous for health and/or there is nothing wrong and toxic in their products, in order to create a doubt on whether or not there is something wrong with cigarettes. And it worked. So next time anybody, who read this comment, sees a study on a topic, consider that its conclusions and findings can be true, but not for sure, and it doesn't give all the answer. Now, it doesn't mean you can't trust nothing. You can, but cautiously and always try to stay open minded.
Excellent discussion. I do find the activists hilarious. They say that we are simultaneously living in a trans genocidal world--but also there are more trans people because society is more accepting. And we must ignore the Orwellian doublethink. 😂
But also rally in the street in support of Hamas and Palestine who is 99.9% Islam. When there are at least 200 videos of those exact same people chucking gays or trans people off roofs. (On X or elsewhere not controlled by the nanny left).
I taught adolescents for 27 yrs. Your ROGD is the latest wave of a phenomenon that is universal and timeless. AND would be a great topic for research. Adolescent girls-not all of them and not always- have a strong propensity to group hysteria. I have seen several waves of it during my time teaching. A large % of the teen women were militant lesbians for a couple years. There was a year long wave of ROTS ( rapid onset Tourette’s Syndrome)- which as you might imagine drove us teachers crazy. & if we explore history, there are thousands of examples of similar teengirl hysteria. Your ROGD is just the latest. From my educator perspective, the problem is parental. What the h-e-double toothpicks is wrong with these parents who believe this crap? Look there for your answers. Clearly, there is a parenting style that has led these children to believe this crap. And that same parenting style facilitates their hysteria, while they act out their beliefs in this crap. And, to be perfectly clear, I have certainly had students who were authentically transgender. I had several students who I was very close to, and loved dearly, who had real deep and profound gender confusion. There is a clear difference between the two groups, those who truly suffered from some gender issues, and the hysterical girls who claim transgenderism. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Adolescent girls, group hysteria. Yeah grown women and group hysteria, no doubt. Guess the teenage girls are just practicing this female trait so they can be really good at it as they grow into adulthood. Yep. That must be it.
Transvestites don't won't to change sexes. J Edgar Hoover wanted to stay male. Bruce Jenner wore dresses when he was still a male and went all the way.

Adaptation. RIP Frank, you were one of the most engaging, open and kindest teachers I ever had.
i cannot say THANK YOU strongly enough to convey how appreciative that i am that you guys have created this video. we as humans create so much stress around topics like these, that those of us who are genuinely curious, or who want to empathize, understand, support, or otherwise just have meaningful conversations, cant without being critisized or otherwise shamed. i think that it takes a HUGE amount of maturity to be able to sit and have valuable and often vulnerable conversations around these "taboo" topics in a way that can create understanding, foster unity, and open dialogue into the unknown. we are all humans living on this planet, having shared experiences while simultaneously each living our own unique experience. it has always pained me that we can't talk about some of these topics without all the uproar, but i understand that these convos often carry much pain for some... so, thank you, again, for bringing a conversation like this to the general public. your sacrifices to your personal lives have not gone unnoticed and i hope that others will use this as a green light to be inspired to have their own intelligent conversations in their own lives. i hope that we can one day normalize the energy around these types of topics and actually begin to LISTEN to one another and maybe even learn a thing or two and encourage collaboration. anways, just felt like expressing my deep appreciation. Sending SO much 💖
When you mentioned the MPD diagnosis of the nineties, my jaw dropped. My mother was one of those people. A junk science therapist she had convinced her that she had MPD. However, she had a roaring case of borderline personality disorder instead. All those years of therapy for some thing she didn’t have wreaked havoc on her mind. My mother is a hermit, who basically does not leave the house, and does not have a good relationship with her children. She doesn’t trust therapists anymore, and won’t get treated. We need to be thinking very seriously about the long-term consequences this will hold for young girls. It is precisely because of my mother’s experiences that I am leery of any major psychological movements in the community.
BPD and MPD are very closely related so it’s no surprise your mother was mis-diagnosed. MPD goes by a different name now and is understood to basically be result of serious childhood trauma.
Are you suggesting by comparison that the many thousand years of historical evidence for transgender/third gender people in every society across the globe is mistaken and this was actually all invented by doctors a few years ago? One of the main issues of the claims of speakers like these is that they are completely disconnected from what is actually happening in medical practice (he did say that he is not a clinician so that's somewhat understandable). Everywhere he suggests a "desire to be a woman" for instance somehow leads to medical treatment is in direct contradiction with the real world. There were questions about one of my daughter's friends a couple of years ago and after one meeting with the doctor he was very clear ruling out gender dysphoria and that desire (saying "I want to be a boy" or "I wish I was a boy") was immediately disqualifying, and the only thing that could continue down the path to possible diagnosis was consistent and persistent insistence over time (generally multiple years) that they ARE in fact the opposite gender. The entire medical establishment surrounding this is set up to screen out and prevent youths from entering into the medical system, which is why the number of them eventually receiving actual treatment is so so low (less than 1000 per year total) That's one way to sort out who is actual serious in performing and presenting research on this, that they have some conception of what the actual medical diagnosis is about. Similarly, any doctor making claims like this is operating outside of the bounds of medical practice (likely also selling something) and should have their license challenged.
There was a young man talking about his experiences with trans/de-trans and from what he was saying he was being offered the chance to be a totally different person, with no downsides. Imagine being a kid thats spotty, unpopular, unattractive to the opposite sex and messed up about it all and the adults are telling you that through big pharma and judicious use of surgery they can change you from the person you've come to hate to somebody totally new and apparently perfect, with all your problems solved. How tempting might that be for a depressed kid fed-up with being the person they are? The change of sex is really not whats being offered here - its the false claim that you can be changed into somebody different. The change of gender is just evidence that the total change has occured.
Well that happens for girls who get surgery to be more beautiful all over the world. In india they tell the girls to bleach their faces. In china they tell girls to lose weight and get their jaw shaved down snd their eyelids done something with. In africa they scar their faces. In some muslim places they cut off their external labia. I mean we are mentally unwell minds. It seems like being natural and whats inside that matters is now a weird thing.
@@JavaAndroid they have a lot of changes actually. Their chromasomes dont change thats true. But their looks change theiri voice change their bones change their expression of their chromasomes chnages so that everyone else is seeing what seems to be the other gender. Thats all they want. Theyre not bothered about chnaging their chromasomes. They just want to change the identfiers.
Making it legal for hormone therapy or surgeries for children under the age of 18 is madness. If you hit 18 and still wish to proceed, go for it, as a consenting adult. But children go through a myriad of emotional and psychological phases as they are growing, their hormones are going wild. The risk of permanently changing one's body because of a temporary phase should be an extremely obvious concern.
All I can say about comment on autism is that when i got diagnosed last year at age 57, and started looking into autism, my whole life started to make sense to me. As another late diagnosed autistic woman once said to me 'it's like getting an answer sheet to your life'.
Same me at 43 realising im severely adhd. Havent got the cheat sheet to how to deal with it yet but at least i know its a thing and other people exist like me and i hope to find ways to manage it. Maybe even be able to function in a way that fits my needs rather than trying to be normal and not wuite able to do so.
UTTER RUBISH. You are NOT autistic. SERIOUSLY!!! Unless you were diagnosed prior to 1990 you do not have autism. You have been provided a LABEL for your victimhood identity. At 57 you should know better and be more mature. The current DSM, has lumped together multiple spectrum behaviours. The game now is to throw a dart at a list on a dart board and see which LABEL of victimhood it lands on, to encourage people to wear as a badge of honour. GROW UP you are an adult ACT like one.
My faith in every institution has been eroded to nothing in the last 5 years. I'm at the point where if any authority says something I consider the opposite to be most likely true
*Every* institution? How did that come about? I think you've gone way overboard. If you believe the *opposite* of what ANY authority figure says, you are ripe for being manipulated by political bad actors. I suspect you already have been, and that's at least part of the reason why you feel the way you do.
So, I've just started the video, but before watching wanted to be sure I pulled up the article. This is what is noted as the reason for retraction (notice there is nothing stating a disagreement with conclusions): "The Publisher and the Editor-in-Chief have retracted this article due to noncompliance with our editorial policies around consent. The participants of the survey have not provided written informed consent to participate in scholarly research or to have their responses published in a peer reviewed article. Additionally, they have not provided consent to publish to have their data included in this article. Table 1 and the Supplementary material have therefore been removed to protect the participants’ privacy. The authors disagree with this retraction."
A close female family member of mine started to transition at 17 after her trans friend tragically died. She then went onto to college where she was given hormones and had her breasts lopped off, all paid for by the Canadian tax payers under Trudeau. It’s been several years that’s she’s on these hormones now. She’s physically unhealthy, appears to have a drinking problem and all the testosterone seems to have stunted her cognitive maturity. She stopped talking to me after I told her I don’t agree that minors can consent to puberty blockers. I’m filled with helplessness, sadness and anger.
I seriously cannot believe that this is actually happening. They are sterilizing and butchering our children and we can’t stop it. How the hell did this happen? 😢
I've known three FtM trans, each one was constantly in the hospital for various health problems and injuries. Always complaining about anger moods and wanting to fight or how depressed they are. one of the reasons you never hear about trans men is they harm the feminist and trans narrative. They are walking examples that women can't handle being men, and because of their instability, substance abuse and high suicide rates also harm the trans movement.
The person, a natal female, who wrote gender queer shows signs of autoandrophilia. She was severely neglected, her mother never taught her about being a girl or woman, her mom neglected her feminine hygiene needs, and the transition to womanhood was severely traumatic for her. She came to despise being a woman but realized she wasn’t a lesbian, but admits she gets aroused by being perceived as a man. It’s a very disturbing book that shouldn’t be in schools. But I feel so bad for her too, she is a very broken person and it’s a painful story to read how she became that way.
I spent a lot of time writing a post on my personal life experiences and my research to have UA-cam reprimand and censor me. I am disgusted and saddened.
Yes youtube have threatened me heavily A woman!! For commenting on fake females and biological womens safety. Dark and utopian and will never change my views on all this.
I need to stop listening to these awesome interviews while putting the baby down for afternoon nap.. I slept through 25min of this interview and now I have to go back and listen again… This professor has deep pool of tested knowledge and the interviewer is asking precisely the questions I’d like to ask… Truly delightful to listen to. Definitely going back to the beginning to listen to what I missed. 🥰👍
Chris is so fascinated by all these legit weird sexualities, but a man not wanting to be with another biological man after some surgery makes them a weird right winger 😂😂
So glad i grew up in 60s and 70s. Rough childhood but i never thought of what gender i was. I still feel for people today that are struggling with gender issues.
I was a weird effeminate kid growing up, and I would have loved a little social status and protection from bullying. I'm so glad I grew up in the time and place I did and not now. I got over it and became a perfectly normal, masculine man. I'm married with three kids, and I ended up enjoying stereotypically masculine things. I'm a perfectly normal man. But if I had grown up with the social influences kids have today, I might very well have believed I was transgender and ruined my body and mind with sick ideologies, drugs, and surgeries. I very likely would have destroyed my life.
Thank you for posting this comment, it gives me hope. Same as you, I was born an effeminate kid, in the same bullying and the lack of social status that you were as a child. In my case, I began thinking myself to be a girl one day because I'm more emotional and sensitive than my friends, and I lack any sort of physical strength. However, I came to the conclusion that I'd needed to accept both my manly and my feminine side, which ultimately concluded whatever gender transformation I was about to do. Sorry if my English is bad, I don't usually write comments. But thank you. This gives me hope that one day I'll become a man like you.

Exactly. This guy speaks as if sexual behavior and beliefs originate solely in some genetic codes and are expressed without any cultural influence. Not entirely, to be fair to him, but whoa! Who you’re with and how they treat you and what is accepted in your sub-culture, and what is accepted by the greater culture… I can never understand how a guy in a lab coat, or on a podium, or behind a desk on TV can compel folks to deny their very senses.
This is one of the best discussions on this topic that I’ve come across. Full of research, lacking bias, just an open and honest conversation and really down to the nitty gritty. Thank you Chris for this interview.
This is the first serious work and conversation I have read, studied or listened to and it is wonderful that these people are fighting for the rights of children the way they are. Too many children's lives are being ruined by policies being implemented led by people or psychologists who have no idea what they are talking about and so make assertions in a desperate attempt to find answers led by emotion when they have none because the truth is they have no idea. I would recommend that it is looked into that children are being abandoned by parents in their job of following their child's development and correcting their mistakes in their early ages, be they mistakes in understanding the world they are learning from or mistakes in understanding their emotions and what those emotions mean in correlation with their understanding of the world, just as they would correct their child if their child wished to put their hand in a flame because they are attracted to it. White flies are caught by using light to attract them then catch them in nets. They have an attraction to light, but no one or nothing to teach them that just because you like something, it does not mean your response should be to approach it if to do so would produce a negative outcome. Children of human beings should not be left in the position or vulnerability we see associated with these white flies they should have parents whose job is to observe and guide them early and lightly, but yet parents in the West are encouraged to abandon this responsibility and even made to feel like they are abusing their child if they do this while other cultures take up that responsibility. The truth is, just because you are attracted to something it does not mean that there is only one way to enjoy it and when selecting how you enjoy it, it you should consider the most healthy way to enjoy it. There are things you are attracted to through logic and things you are attracted, things you are attracted to by instinct and things that you are attracted to by emotion and then there are reactions to this attraction that take place through logic. reactions through instinct and reaction through emotion, but the end result must be positive because we are human, not white flies and so have a more sophisticated and intelligent and natural process of moving forward that assures us a better ability to survive than the white fly. This process we use as human beings on these matters takes place in guiding our children in their family life sand cultural surroundings in their understanding of the world from an early age and how they should respond to their attractions, but is being deprived of children by parents who have abandoned their responsibilities, do not understand their duties and responsibilities any more or are accused of abusing their children if they do so and policies laid out by governments to encourage that end. The result is that like white flies attracted to light with no guidance to stay away, children are being left abandoned to respond to what may attract them in a way that achieves a negative end and even encouraged by lies that a negative end does not exist and wonderful things will be found ahead of them which is in fact an act of abuse on the child. For example, a child that is a boy that likes the colour blue and so begins insisting their shoes must be blue, the drinks they buy must be blue, their wall paper must be blue their everything must be blue, can simply be told by his father, 'My son, I like blue too, but it does not mean everything I have must be blue, I enjoy blue from a distance, just looking at it.' And the boy will understand and take the necessary action themselves to deal with their attraction to the colour blue in a different way and be happy and even thankful to their father for doing this, but also feel loved by their father and feel closer to their father for helping them understand how they should be dealing with their attraction to blue. This has been eradicated from the experience of a child's upbringing in the family and in social and cultural surroundings in the West, but is something that is built in the instinctive habits of the families of other cultures and in the habits of their societies and how they construct their cultural surroundings aware that these must contribute to the healthy life experience of children found in the home and family. The dismantling of this in the West led by psychologists and their influence on government policy that with honesty are incapable of doing their jobs is harming children in the West and their development to be adults during the family experience of their upbringing, and so has how government policies they influence have affected this family experience. Peace and love
As a sexual abused child (started at age six), I had a terrible relationship with my body going through puberty. I wanted to cut my breasts off or at least hide them. I was literally asking my mom how to make them disappear or how to rope them to become invisible. For decades I was hiding my body through XL clothes having size S. Thank God I grew up as a teenager in the 90s, were I used to listen to grunge music a lot, later in my early twenties got help from several therapists who gently listened to my story and helped me to heal my sexual abuse trauma and I choose to do the uncomfortable body work necessary for healing. It took me years to learn how to feel comfortable in my female body. Like really comfortable. Imagine my life today, nobody would have listened to the hidden fact that I was severely abused for years and how my family failed to protect me but they would have just tried to cure "the symptoms" of turning me into a male without breasts, because I was so scared of what will happen to me when I grew into a full woman . 😮 Now at age 46, I know the data of sexual violence against children, 20 % of of female children have experienced sexual trauma in western countries and will have severe troubles going through puberty! And we know as well that transgender people have a lot of comorbid psychological issues that should be treated first 😅. I am so happy for the 90s allowing me to get through all my personal struggles on my own pace, with listening to music and hanging out with people who didn't have happy childhoods neither, we supported each other, later I got help from trauma experts and again later I accidentally met a yoga teacher in India, who didn't know anything about me but worked with me a few days and then told me what happened to me and how he can help me to unblock it because trauma is stuck in the body. I was flabbergasted when he answered to my question how he knew that I had asthma and sexual trauma and was almost killed and he was like "I am not a trained psychological person but I was ten years assistant to Iyengar, we heal bodies and ailments show themselves in the body, I can read the signs in your body". After four weeks I made again major progress. Therapy was good but Yoga helped me to heal the trauma from my body, Nowadays Bessel van de Kolk says exactly that. My teacher helped me with body exercise to fight the anxiety, the pain, the panic, the cramps, the lack of deep breathing, the always being alert and never relax or let my guard down and my sleep problems. And on top he told me to keep away from "Gurus" who prey on people like me. He explained to me unfortunately many yoga teachers are predators as well. Sometimes you got traumatized and then amazing people help you to heal as well. ❤ I don't believe that pushing children and teens into puberty blockers instead of riding out their struggles is helping them.
Thank you for your message; I totally agree. Doctors should investigate more why young women are so uncomfortable with their bodies. It may just not about being overweight, it may hide sexual abuse.
This has been on my thoughts as well. How many girls feel uncomfortable in their bodies due to very early sexualisation by the rest of society? Giving children puberty blockers should, in theory, give the child, doctors and parents time to figure this out before any drastical measurements are taken. Now, I still believe a person claiming to be the other sex from a very young age, such as three or four, is transgender and should be given all the help.
It's not "society" it's being pushed from the top of the piramid.... Academia is controlled by jesuit ...Jesuit is a military order that infiltrate all power to achieve some particular agenda given by their superior
This group which he is talking about - my now adult daughter listened to this and said that when she was in high school, those were the kids, they called the Emos - young people who highly emotionalized the experiences they were going through and ascribed a lot of significance to what everybody else just regarded as the normal events of being a teenager and being in high school
@@coldsnap999what a stupid response. Her comment was valid. It IS likely that the teens who are more sensitive to negative emotion and who are more insecure and find it harder to make friends who are likely to be sucked into the LGBTQI +++ vortex and offered a ‘solution’ to their problems. Most likely they are just highly sensitive and prone to more depression and anxiety and social anxiety than gay or trans.
Should we be surprised over this? In 2011, Psychology Today Agreed to remove Controversial Author Satoshi Kanazawa from Website: "to Prevent Inflammatory Content". He published an article explaining why different ethnic groups of women are rated more highly than others, and some groups became angry when Black women came last.
I learned that podcasters use Chat GPT for the questions they must ask the intervierwee. However, this interviewer's questions sound very genuine. Light from South Africa.
Chris is having a great time in this interview. His ironic comments and the fact that Michael Bailey is completely oblivious to their irony is as good an illustration as can be found of the difference between British and American humour.
I dont actually felt that they "went over his head". He seems to be choosing his words VERY carefully and trying to be absolutely objective in answering questions. Only at very few moments do you see a glimpse of his "normal" persona shine through. So he just chose not to play along with Chris comments most of the time.
@@onlyhazeremains1365i agree with this, I'm only a few minutes in, and you can tell that he is choosing his words very deliberately and making sure he has his words right before he says anything
@@zimzobOr 'joking around', this professor has already been redacted and his enemies are always looking for any little thing to blow out of proportion, take out of context or deliberately misconstrue. I highly doubt much escaped his notice.
I’m really struggling listening to this. I’m a mother who gave birth to my little girl who is now my son. I’ve had so many questions including and mostly is this my fault due to my abusive relationships and failed marriage to his dad who was extremely abusive and not in their life often. I love him, he’s an incredible human, contributor to society, successful, and lives a good life. All I could want in a child. But I’m scared for him, especially now with what is currently happening in our world, and the hormones he is taking. I am a health and menopause coach, and I see the challenges as we enter into this phase of life. My concern is how he will transition into menopause with the testosterone injections and the fact that I cannot find studies on this. I would love to be more of a part of this discussion. It’s fascinating and so needed in order to help my son and others. Thank you for your studies.
Was there an attempt to get your daughter to stay in her own body i.e. remain cisgender? Step one should always be psychiatric, therapy or drug interventions to try and do this. Transitioning should be a last resort.
Transitioning should never be a resort, it’s always harmful and it damages relationships at every level from interpersonal to international, because it is premised on a false image of reality, and nothing built on falsehood can support truth and genuine understanding. Relationships built on falsehood are sustained by lies and crushing anyone who dares to speak the truth, and necessarily must resort to violence as the lies become harder to defend.
Also, stop using male pronouns to refer to females, you’re gaslighting yourself and everyone around you. I wish you the best in recovering your daughter.
I'm sorry to say, but your child will never be a "son". She doesn't have sperm. She cannot have children with a woman and if her supply of foreign hormones and homones blockers are ever cut, she will revert right on on being a woman (depending on wether she got a hysterotectomy and/or got hormones blockers before she finished adolescence). I know that there is a strong societal push for transitionning kids and teens depending on where one lives. But living a lie maintained by lifelong heavy medication isn't an answer.
Adolescence is a tough time. As a tomboy who despised girly stuff or being forced into pink clothing, I think a better approach is to stop gendering clothes and toys for boys and girls, be tolerant of differences, stop the bullying of different people, make sure no sexual abuse has been a part of the child’s life - many other common sense approaches. I think puberty is gender dysphoric by its nature. Just growing hair in private places was traumatic for me and that happens for boys and girls. I never wanted to be a boy or have a penis and I’ve never been sexually attracted to women. I went into a STEM field and was a tomboy and have a healthy sex life with my male husband. As a young adult, being gay became more accepted and I wondered if people would have pushed me in that direction if I’d been born 10 years later. Now I wonder if I’d been born 30 years later that people would have thought I was transgender and how that might have influenced me during puberty. I don’t think the government should legislate medical or psychiatric practices, but I think that standards for open investigation and study need to be embraced by the medical and psychological/psychiatric professions.
I just disagree with you saying gender dysphoria is a natural thing in adolescence. Most of the teens i have known are pretty happy with the changes and their gender/sex, no issues.
Regarding the comment about sissy hypno porn, actually a lot of porn addicts describe how their habits of consumption changes over time, pushing them towards increasingly more taboo and unconventional subject matters. This has to do with the changes to the brain chemistry and that the addict craves novel experiences in order to get that sense of mindless arousal. In Gary Wilson's famous talk about what happens to the brain when watching porn he describes some users said they ended up only being able to get off to gay porn even though they were straight and didn't find men attractive. Others ended up in darker and more taboo subjects. So to me it's not surprising that sissy/hypno porn is growing. It might just appeal to some addicts who have ended up too far into the deep end of things.
This does happen when porn becomes the main thing, sometimes the only thing, you engage with to derive pleasure from life. The whole dopamine thing. *sigh* some people have too much time on their hands. Get out in the real world, learn to engage with other people in meaningful interdependent ways, do something altruistic...
@ziyan953 I was born in the 90s and when I was around 11, I was subjected to depraved porn all around right away. Took me a long time to recover. I imagine that it's even worse nowadays for someone unprepared. The real problem is that we believe that it's all ok because the general consensus is that it's safe, that everyone does it, and that we don't want to look uncool or puritan. Except that porn isn't just a naughty magazine anymore. It's an incredibly powerful and varied super stimuli.
I read 120 days of soddom as a late teen. What i got from that book was a cautionary tale in going down the road of constricting arousal ..because all the men in it are doing messed up things and all of. Them are impotent and have to like really constrict the hose pipe to get anything to spurt out if that makes sense. Then i read some tantric stuff whicch was all about the opposite...increasing the flow of pleasure and the length of pleasure andd the sensitivity to the point where somone could just touch their own nipple and have an expansive organsmic hour of bliss from it. I dont think everyone got the same thing from those same books. But thats what i got from it. And its certainly been my experience that porn gives a very frustrating burst of releif wheras something like sensuala self massage can be blissful and also emotionally expansive. Ok total strnager ive judt overshared a lot.
We need laws enacted that allow anyone that was subjected to gender treatments before the age of 18 to sue their parents, doctors, schools, hospitals, clinic, therapists or anyone else involved in the process. No statute of limitations. This will make it financially difficult to obtain insurance and put fear into these people pushing this agenda. This is the only way.
I do have to object to "autism is over diagnosed" comment. I used to believe this, but I learned something that changed my mind. Back in 2003, my son became a T1 diabetic. As I dove down the rabbit hole, I found out that there was a connection between autism, celiac disease (which he also dealt with), and autism. The connection between this trifecta greatly interested me. When I saw the increase in autism rates, I was very skeptical and decided to dig into that. Knowing that there was a connection between autism and T1D, I looked at T1D rates across decades, by country. Then I compared these rates with autism. My idea was that T1D cannot be missed. If you don't diagnose it, you end up with a dead kid and it's still discovered at the autopsy. There is no 'accidentally over-diagnosing' of T1D. If there was a real trend of increasing autism, there'd be a correlating increase with T1D. The charts between T1D and autism matched perfectly, nation by nation, over the decades, for all but third world countries where such documentation was sparse before the 1990's in some places. Somehow our kids are being damaged badly. This has happened across all western nations and the less developed countries are on track to catch up. I don't know if it's vaccines, herbicide exposure, microplastics, an improper diet, malnutrition, outgassing of our carpets, a combination of all those things, or something else we haven't imagined; but something is very wrong.
The fact that he states those that are sexually attracted to obese people, animals and amputees are also sexually attracted to the idea of THEY THEMSELVES BECOMING THOSE THINGS is mind blowing. I also have to admit I did laugh at him saying that, but man what a world we live in!
I'm into bigger girls and i fear getting fat so much I can't really eat properly if i feel i have not worked out enough that day. So maybe not everyone. Or maybe i'm repressing it.
@@johannespilvikukka6003 You have the taboo sexual reaction. Strong emotions about an attribute in yourself can make it attractive in others. Like women who fear aggression, will seek out the most aggressive males and record hypersexualised relationships, often to their detriment. Very often psychosexual and emotional development run into issues that leave adults with sexual behaviours that they find bizarre. As long as it's not harming you or others, you should manage okay
@@kylieb5213meanwhile I typically like bigger girls because I used to be morbidly obese and now I'm not. Could just be what you were and not what you want to be.
I am a legitimate transgender woman, and I've been for years now. Was I "offended" by this video? NO! The research is solid and the entire interview was fully respectful from start to finish. Truth should prevail and science isn't about taking sides. We should all agree on that.
During the pandemic there was also an epidemic of children who had sudden onset Tourettes Syndrome. I think Australia 60 min. did an episode about it. I would love to see a study that analyzes the mental health of children according to the amount of social media consumption. Although you might not be able to find any children who don't consume social media as a comparison group. It seems obvious, it's generally not great for social-emotional development.
Exactly. My daughter was adopting every mental disorder that you can find a Wikipedia article on. She pulled the “they/them” card and wanted us to call her by a different name (which I think she chose because of an animated show she enjoyed) - I didn’t just say no, I said hell no. Reality is a thing, and adults (especially parents) are supposed to be the gatekeepers. I am cautiously optimistic that she is growing out of this phase. And yes, all this began with the onset of puberty (which sucks for EVERYONE) plus I was in the Army Reserves and was deployed to the Middle East for a year. Oh, and at the worst possible time - during COVID 😖 It’s not rocket science. Don’t let your kids dictate reality. They WANT boundaries and they want to know that adults will keep them safe, even if they kick and scream. The minimum parenting standard is to keep your children from permanently damaging themselves.
I feel like this is close to the "looping effect" theory. When someone is being classified into a certain group, that knowledge of the concept of the classification affects the people in the group, thereby changing its classification itself. Similar to how anorexia suddenly grew in Hong Kong when it was introduced in the early 1990s, or sudden increase in the suicide rate when western version of depression was conceptualized in Japan in the late 1990s with the introduction of anti-depressants. This is merely a hypothesis that has not be fully proven, but is one of the plausible causes or one component of the causes of the mental disorders today.
@@ifluxionI agree. Gender dysphoria has now become the "template" young ppl are using to show their mental distress. When I was young it was anorexia and then cutting and self harming became the "thing." Now its this gender stuff. I feel like this has provided a way for young ppl to package their pain in a neat, recognisable way so that doctors and parents will see it and acknowledge it, (although that's not a conscious thought process.) I also feel that the pornification of society is a factor for girls transitioning. They want romance and boyfriends and instead see porn everywhere. Everyone is viewing it and many girls are hugely uncomfortable about what they think they will be expected to do, so they flee womanhood, or call themselves asexual or that theyre into girls. In my day pornography was more regulated, far less was legal and effort had to be made to procure it. Adults understood that most women were not going to be as willing to do what porn stars would and would watch things that they would maybe enjoy but would not expect their wives to do. With the advent of the Internet kids were able to access a stream of pornographic material, the "vanilla" content mixed in with really unpleasant niche material and they are too young to know what is normal and what is in fact "niche." This has led them to believe that practices like choking and violence during sex is very normal and we see that in research showing among young ppl hitting and choking during sex has risen sharply. No wonder teenage girls are opting out.
@@littleboots9800 The latter half is an interesting theory. I never thought about it that way. It does correlate with the statistics. What I know is that men overrepresents homosexuals, bisexual, and transsexual population. If you look at the dating market, men experience far more difficulty in finding a date than women do. In many modern societies, I remember the statistics to be around 50% of men not finding a date at early twenties, 30% of women not finding a date at early twenties or something close to that. If I borrow your theory, the amount of Gender Dysphoria could be proportional to the amount of availability of dates, or lack thereof.
I believe that medical and activists want a quick fix. When in reality, any decision that is life changing should have time to mature, literally. We still side eye, quick marriages, and understand it takes time to build a relationship. The same should be done whether it's a choosing a college, a career, a plan to travel. So why is it we choose drugs first, surgery and then therapy. Any other mental illness is a long road of working a treatment. We are creating a man made crisis. So happy we have science to back up gender disphoria. Great interview and thank you for introducing Dr. Bailey to your audience
I have a young niece (almost 14), who has struggled with some serious mental health issues (& early childhood trauma) for years. At a point prior to the pandemic, when she was about 10 and had started experiencing some symptoms of early puberty, she suddenly started sharing that she was experiencing gender dysphoria, and thought she might be a boy, started social transitioning, changed her name, etc… This happened within a school atmosphere where her peers & school counselors heavily encouraged and touted the transgender ideology (to the point where anyone identifying as trans or non-binary was celebrated). We all listened and accepted her and what she told us (which sounded largely like parroted speech of the transgender community). This continued until the pandemic forced her to start completing her coursework at home. Then, amazingly and magically over the course of the next few years, as she grew into her female pubescent hormones in a loving home environment, removed from the social pressures she was experiencing at school, she no longer had any gender dysphoria. It’s simply gone. She describes being happy now in her female body, and says she knows who she is. We should not discount the heavy influence that social spheres have on children.
Fascinating conversation with a brilliant guest. Great questioning from Chris. When Michael Bailey mentioned a collaborative project with Lisa Lipman and Ken Zucker; best announcement I've heard about in so long. This will be truly fascinating. Now, I'm off off to find that "cancelled" study on Springer Link. ❤
The glamourization of victimhood is nothing new, but with the advent of social media has certainly increased. Michael Bailey is, like me, old enough to remember the 1950's game show :Queen for the Day". The woman with the most miserable story won, and was actually crowned, along with with roses, money and prizes on live national TV.
I can attest that being left handed was still being 'treated' in the UK in the early 20th century. My great uncle was left handed and teachers would tie his hand behind his back to force him to write with his right hand. Btw, left in Italian (from the latin I believe) is sinistra from which we get the word sinister
@@itsjustavi Handedness is not a whim or fancy in ANY way, it's biological and quite normal - immutable. Transvestitism is a sexual perversion, which is 'developed', and trying to convert children is sexual abuse.
After watching this video I was interested enough in this article to take the trouble to download it and print it out. I would probably never have known it existed if no attempt had been made to silence the authors.
Firstly, thank you for your bravery Chris and Michael. Second, Jordan Petersen spoke about leaving kids until they were 18 to 19 and letting them decide what to do with their lives. Respect and Love.
I have Asperger's Syndrome which they now call autism in part out of confusion. I completely agree that it is now increasingly vague and over diagnosed. I have seen many people that appear to be faking it. In particular, I have noticed among females in my personal experience some years ago that many of those claiming to have ASD or AS clearly have some other condition instead. There are two cases where it looked like BDP was a better fit. There is another case where the condition appears to be related instead to trauma. The problem with AS is that from its inception it was based on looking at kids on the boundary or in the grey area. It's a far more subtle condition than people realise and it's not even necessarily a problem in all cultures. It depends on the social demands and social protocols. In a society that is more socially strict in particular demanding conformance to something such as the mean then suddenly people who were a bit different or that could function normally before become disabled. This subtly allows for a great deal of abuse. It's very easy to fake having AS at least in so far as being able to get through a diagnosis. Many conditions are difficult to truly diagnose without prolonged or extensive observation of it at its worst. I've always had very significant problems socially and eventually came across AS. I've checked everything else for a best fit. Other people approach this differently. It's about the type of person they want to be rather than figuring out the kind of person that they actually are. AS is seen as a cool condition to have. If someone actually had it, they would likely regret it. I should also note that AS is in reality the least of my problems. I grew up in genuinely harsh conditions. In respect to any psychological maladies I might have picked up or have been primed for a hostile environment is the greater of contributors. I grew up in destitution in one of the worst estates in the entire country. It ended up being a failed experiment. They literally demolished the entire estate and rebuilt it. Things such as domestic violence and then a broken family exert a toll. AS isn't something that started to become obvious until I was in better circumstances. AS is so borderline, pretty much by definition that it's very rare for being unusually different to simplify it to present as a problem in and off itself or on its own. The vast amount of people going for AS diagnosis, even if they do have some difficulties that can legitimately be considered AS it's very unlikely to be that alone. AS itself was first recognised by Hans Asperger in particularly trying circumstances. Although AS is subtle there are tells when people are faking it. I will just like any other realistic person applying their intellect question AS as well as how accurate diagnosis and definition is. When someone tells me that I'm doing something wrong because I should therefore be on the side of AS having AS and being AS then I immediately suspect that they're AS. The notion of being on team AS or something like that is highly social. That's collectivist. AS is a condition where if you were to summarise it the best you could then it would be best described as being hyper individualistic. Failing that more asocial than normal. I'll question someone else's AS diagnosis then someone will say how could I do that because they are like me and the same or something or rather such as how would I like to have my diagnosis questioned. It's all nonsense of course. By definition of AS there is no team AS. This can easily be related to egotistical though it's a mistake to assume that they are the same. AS is more like just being yourself more than other people are. For example, I don't care as much what people think if they think wrong where are people closer to the mean tend to adhere more to the potential misjudgement or misinterpretation or miscomprehension of others. Hyper social people on the opposite end of the scale which is extremely pathological will equivocate and then blame you if they misinterpret! AS tends to consist of less regard for others who are egotistical. Most people whether they realise it or not socially function in accordance to others and in particular those who are most egotistical. A defining feature of AS is not giving a damn. If you think this throw then it becomes clear that AS is a relative condition. You can have a strict society that is petty and makes a fuss about small things. Then you have AS. You can have a liberal society that doesn't care about pointless things and in that society there is no such condition as AS. Think of it like this, in a world of light whether you have a torch or not makes no difference.
I don't understand why men don't receive the Bpd diagnosis, I've seen many emotionally unstable dudes so there's no way none of them have it. I mean, what's the ratio. I think in many cases bpd is a BS diagnosis, they much more likely have complicated issues stemming from (for example) getting bullied at school, feeling rejected by the opposite gender, having a narcissistic parent, being overprotected, not being allowed to show all kinds of emotions (including anger), poverty and alcoholism at home, d3ath in the family that was never really "discussed", misogynistic attitudes towards women from male relatives, moving from one place to another or even from one country to another (how can you remain stable when you don't know where your true home is, constantly having to adapt).. a chronically ill parent etc. I don't think it's just one thing, usually there's like a mixture of issues completely messing with the person's development... oh and of course, religious trauma.
The traits you've mentioned also apply to Schizoid Personality Disorder. Perhaps more so. Perhaps some of those diagnosed with ASD actually have SPD. I've wondered whether this is true in my case. Indeed, I began by thinking I had SPD, but was eventually told that it was ASD, which I now think is probably correct.
I also believe many young girls feel anxious and scared of about being women in this world and they might believe that "becoming male" will solve that problem. This is something I've dealt with a lot as well in my life. Thankfully I grew up in the 90s so for me it just remained as a "I wish I wasn't a woman". But nowadays kids get very different messages.
Interesting! I was born in the mid seventies in a Scandinavian country, and always felt it was easier to be a girl (like me) than to be a boy. The boys were expected to be brave and strong and do things that were risky, and they had to suppress fear, grief and sadness. I felt I was allowed to do all the same things as the boys, but without the same level of expectations (I could always play the "girl card" if I didn't want to do something that was exhausting or risky, and some male would step in and do it for me even if I was just being lazy or a "scaredy cat", and no one would blame me) - and I was more free to express feelings. However, when I reached my late teens something shifted, and there were suddenly more expectations for me to take care of aunts, grandparents and children in the family - and I saw that the young men in the family did not face the same expectations. For them it was all about education and career, and they were much more free to just do whatever they wanted - and not take responsibility - without being blamed as "selfish".
@@mailill I think for many, myself included, it may stem from a fear of assault. I think this also depends a lot on the type of experiences one has, if one feels safe or not. I think women who lean more towards feeling unsafe might be more likely to wish they weren't women, since they may see it as a risk factor. At least that's how I have felt a lot in my life, often being afraid of assault and avoiding going out at night, avoiding many situations. Which is because of my own experiences, where I lived, what I saw and heard, things like this combined. I do agree with what you say about males often being pressured to show less emotion, to be more brave and such. I think both genders experience challenges in their own way.
@@miraieditsYes, the fear of assault that you describe is very relatable. I still have that sometimes, unfortunately, even as a middle aged woman. Still, I guess I always had the impression that boys were not that much safer. It actually seemed to me that they were much more in danger of experiencing violence (sometimes severe) from other boys. And up to a certain age they were also much weaker than adults, and also vulnerable. That being said, I was painfully aware of my own lack of physical strength compared to boys and not to speak of grown men. I remember training karate as a 12-year old and learning how to get away from somebody's grip, and my step brother who was the same age as me delighted in having me try out those tricks with him - and of course they never worked (even though I could do 40 push-ups on my knuckles at that time. Because even at that age he was soooooo much stronger than me (I guess he had "strong genes", as his father was a body builder, but still). When the karate instructors started to teach us how to defend ourselves against weapons, I quit, because I knew that was bs and wouldn't work. The only thing that has ever protected me (as I am not a fast runner, and don't want to create a chase) is my ability to talk to and "befriend" and "de-escalate" aggressors (learned by dealing with semi-aggressive males, I guess). Or maybe it was just pure luck.
I've always felt it's easier to be a girl. We girls have it easy. I think some boys decide to act like girls in fear to confront the reality of what is expected of them.
Its good to see scientists not being pressured by ideology and doing the research needed to save future generations. We are going to have thousands of young women in a decade with butchered bodies and living with chronic conditions. Regretting what has happened. They will need loads of help. It will be one of the biggest medical scandals of all time. We shouldn't let it happen to another generation.
Im 76 and had what I consider now to have been a very healthy Childhood. I went hunting and fishing with my Dad. I learned to cook at my Grandma's side. Mom taught me to sew, and made me beautiful dresses which I wore when not in jeans and tees. I was an 'Egghead' who was always reading - when not outdoors with my Dog and other Animals. Nobody thought I was odd (aside from my obsession with books). Puberty was a bit late - but Periods were always wonderful and I never had 'Cramps' or any problems. I got married - worked full time - got divorced - had a very good life. I'm SO glad I grew up in a time when nobody thought I might 'really' be a Boy because I liked to climb Trees! 5 5:49 :49
"What is going to make a 14YO boy decide to put on his mother's panties and go into the bathroom and look at himself and become aroused? Nobody teaches him that!" I 100% recall a man describing online how his grandmother verbally despised him for being a boy and would dress him up in girl clothes. I don't think that man became autogynephilic himself, but it's not hard to see, given that such child abuse exists -- and that he can't be the only man who has ever experienced it, just knowing the odds -- how such abuse could lead to the disorder.
This is such an important and immediate topic. This sits at the bottom of everything disrupting society in my opinion. We cannot attempt to dismiss reality without severe and unforeseen catastrophic consequences.
Why do they never quote people who are detransing? There are many as well as very unhappy trans people who realise they made a mistake. They should be able to sue the authorities who kept it secret from their parents or agencies who removed them from their parents authority. I was a real tomboy but i knew i was a girl and am grateful this nonsense was unknown when i was growing up.
They never quote them because this is all about politics. The Democrats convince people that special interest groups need rights... If you vote for them, they will help those people get the rights. Of course the people that want the rights also vote for them. They do this with many different topics. They got gay people the rights they didn't have. I feel they needed a new group to champion so then they started trying to get transgender people rights. Believe it or not, they are even going to eventually try to get rights for pedophiles. (This is my prediction that I called in the 80s.) Pedophiles are now saying they should be able to molest a child if the child says they are okay with it. They groom the kid so the kid goes along with it. This may even be part of the reason they want to get kids confused about sexuality. Then they will be easier for pedophiles to make them victims.
This is a great video. I agree with so much of what he's said. I'm not trans but I am autistic and have a small degree of autogynephilia. I don't dress up the way this man describes but I have it internally, and I've not always been honest to people I've talked to online. For instance telling people I'm a woman with certain features when I'm actually a man. I'm not an unattractive man, but I'd still rather be a woman. I just wish people realized a LOT of men actually have some degree of this and it's absurd to think that there aren't AGPs in the trans community. There most certainly are.
Welcome to the time in history where factual evidence actually makes you wrong and gets you cancelled. Apparently your claims and opinions can only be relied upon if they are based on emotion and ideology…
Yep, Family Law Court refused to even acknowledge evidence that my child was being maltreated by her mother and the new husband; medical report, dental report, photographic evidence, recording of child making disclosures, illegally imported unprescribed unapproved medications, child psychologist report. Court refused to acknowledge that my child’s mother has had 3 Domestic Violence Orders against her. Mother bursts into tears and says she is a victim of Domestic Violence but has no evidence of this (it isn’t true!)and the Court takes story hook line and sinker. I am turned into the bad guy causing trouble for no good reason. The facts don’t fit the social narrative of the privileged white male abusing the migrant woman of Color, so the facts don’t matter. I was maltreated and punished by the Court for presenting factual evidence and ignored. She was believed and benefited because her false story based on emotion and ideology aligned with the trendy social narrative. Factual evidence gets you punished!
I think autoandrophilia is a thing that is being overlooked, I'm eagerly awaiting any studies done on this. Women are often not studied as much as men especially in psychology. I think this has a greater effect on transitioning females than we are lead to believe.
I had gender dysphoria. It is a survival mechanism from trauma. It can happen subliminally in the minds of children who unwittingly get the message that their authentic biological sex and the cultural expectations that come with it somehow threaten the attachment relationship with one or more of their caregivers. It happens when that role is at odds within a toxic family structure. As humans we are extremely dependent on our caregivers. We are wired for attachment. Anything about ourselves that threatens that attachment will be suppressed. It’s a survival mechanism. Other mammals that can walk as soon as they’re born aren’t as dependent but we as humans can’t even crawl that early and as a result we are biologically programmed this way. This isn’t talked about in the mainstream and therefor many kids grow up confused and bullied for it which only emboldens their false beliefs about who they are and makes them more resistant to anything contrary to the pro transition narrative. It took me years to connect the dots in my life. The way it showed up for me (in a nutshell / can show up for different reasons in others) was by having a mother who was abused and sexually harassed so much by men that she would demonstrate that hatred in many ways such as (for example) making a big deal out of a movie scene with female nudity. Not covering my eyes like most parents might do as in I’m "not allowed to see this yet" kind of thing but instead by talking out loud about how disgusting and shameful men are for wanting to see this and having a total meltdown over it. Which is understandable given her life experiences but yet very toxic to me her son. I’m not blaming her. How could she have known? I then (key word) subliminally started associating being a man with something that would threaten my relationship with the most important person in my life and had no idea why it was happening to me. When I heard trans people talk about their experiences with gender dysphoria for the first time and many times after, I was shocked at how similar they clearly felt to me. I started dressing and acting more and more androgynously as it became more and more apparent that I was becoming a man. I rejected it with everything I had and suffered the consequences of ruthless bullying in which only made me even more militant about my lgbt identity. Now that I know the truth, I am so glad I never took hormones or did anything drastic or life ruining to myself. Now I am a confident adult man who continues to do the trauma work that has helped me virtually eradicate this problem. I find it very sad to see how many people are lead down the wrong path, especially these days, and even more sad that I have been labeled as transphobic for speaking out about what I have learned from my experience. I would even venture to say that these experiences were huge reasons why my romantic and sexual attractions developed in the way that they did. I don’t think there is any gene responsible for this. It’s totally a trauma based toxic social environment kind of thing that manifests these issues as made more evident by the many stories I have listened to from others. Much of that toxicity having been so normalized to the person that they don’t even realize what has actually happened to them. So when you hear someone say, "well I had no trauma, why am I trans". All you need to do is have someone who knows what kind of questions to ask them, and the truth always comes out.

Someone needs to look into the potential role that rampant plastic toxicity and PFAS toxicity (including the effects of modern and "old-school" synthetic birth control pill formulations), and see if any of these toxic estrogens are partially to blame for the recent and unprecedented rise in gender dysphoria cases(!?)

I did not have rapid onset gender disphoria - I was convinced I was meant to be a boy since as long ago as I can remember. I enjoyed ‘boy’s toys and activities’ - an archetypal extreme tomboy. My parents accepted me for the personality I had and did not force me to wear dresses and encouraged me academically. My father taught me to fish, garden and repair engines before I was 9. My friends were all male. I had an accepting community. I am soooo glad that I was raised before puberty blockers or cross sex hormones were available. I HATED PUBERTY AND MY DEVELOPING BODY FROM 10, I had very painful periods and loathed my life from starting my periods at 11 until 14/15 when I started to find boys really attractive and although I continued to prefer non- ‘extreme girly’ clothes and contined to enjoy fishing, climbing etc, I became happy in my female skin. Went on to have a long happy marriage children and grandchildren and a successful career in a ( then) male-oriented field. Had puberty blockers and ‘gender affirmation’ medicaion and surgery been available 60 years ago, I’d have shouted and screamed to get it and my life would have taken a very different and much less fulfilling course. These b……. who pretend that children ( even forcefully opinionated and articulate children like I was) can consent to life altering medication (and in every likelihood long term misery) ought be in gaol. Those who ‘groom’ on line are to be condemned
Well said.

Humans come in two (immutable and discrete) sexes, zero genders, and an infinite variety of individual personalities.
And I'm sure your children and grandchildren have benefitted greatly from your guidance based on the life skills your parents taught you. How cool is Grandma, she can fix cars and knows how to fish? How lucky they are.
Wish I could copy what you wrote to share with all who have called me a morally self-righteous bigot.
It’s very good to hear that there are scientists that dare to dive into ROGD. My daughter here in Amsterdam had gender dysphoria out of the blue during the depressing lock downs when she was 13. Within a year they wanted to give her puberty blockers at the VU medical center knowing that 98% proceed into transition. I took her away from these people and by now she is happy and starting to wear female clothes and make-up again. Keep doing your good work Michael our children need you!
Wow, you saved her! ❤
I used to want to be a boy too, but fortunately I was born before transing kids was widespread.

That's why I believe spinophaurus is real
It's called threat of violence and coercion.
I went through a phase where I liked to wear dresses and play with dolls. I liked being around girls more and felt comfortable acting like a girl. My parents never acted out about it or encouraged it. They just let me be. I grew out of it; I’m not even gay. I’m as boringly heterosexual as they come. Whether they knew what they were doing or not, the way my parents handled it was probably the best way.
Being hetero is not boring. That's what these people want you to believe. It's natural and normal. My generation was convinced that the world was going to be over populated so half of Gen X never had kids. We didn't realize they were planing an demographics shift and overwhelm our country to usher on a one world government.

@@amyfromcali9051 Eh... nevermind. None. I read the OP wrong. Apologies. I thought it said that the behaviour was discouraged and it stopped the person from being gay/trans. I'll retract my comment.
I think part of the reason proponents are so extreme in their reaction to any opposition is that they can’t even consider the possibility that they are wrong because if they are wrong the implications of what they have caused to happen is actually horrifying.
I did not expect to come across an insightful comment in this ocean of us-vs-them-bashing. Thx for this new angle of approach
Definitely. Can you imagine supporting gender reassignment surgery, either having it done to someone you know, a family member or yourself and the horror of contemplating that it was all a mistake. Those removed or altered body parts can never go back to normal. This realisation must be to frightening to comprehend. So you have to double down.
Yup. Thats why it is not possible to have an objective discussion about the topic with them. You could probably count on one hand the number of the worst proponents of eugenics who ever revised their opinions when presented with strong evidence. As to accept their beliefs as wrong would ve to accept oneself as guilty of genocide.
You are absolutely correct. This is why they will not/can not stop their opposition. They don't want acceptance, they want subgegation and obedience.
This is a great point. Still, failure in life HAS to be faced. Otherwise, the failure only deepens.
I'm a biological female and a very big "tomboy" my ENTIRE life. I'm sure happy that nobody told me I should've been a male!!
Happily a mother, grandmother and great grandmother....Soooo happy I was " ALLOWED to be ME!!

And nobody tells anyone what gender they are besides transphobes. Funny that. Also, you should read the article and click some links. Parent's reports are not evidence for what their children think and feel, despite how the article lies even about what Littman's study is about and what it shows. The one piece of "evidence" that it has.
If you're for freedom, then you should support trans health care and their freedom to transition and be themselves instead of letting others tell them what gender they are and that they're have a pathology to pretend otherwise.
@@stylis666you meant besides trans activists? Oh, and there is no such thing as gender. Don't force your beliefs on others. In many languages there isn't even such a word, only sex.
@@tamashumi7961 And in many languages there are many genders and more than two sexes. There are many languages that don't recognise colours that we have a name for, and many that have different colour names for what we would call hues and shades. Language differs and does not dictate reality. The word gender discribes how people experience their gender identity.
What you are saying is that you don't acknowledge that people experience their gender identity at all. You're not a mindreader, so I know for a fact that you're just pulling it out of your arse, and if it were true then you wouldn't know anyone's gender without seeing theie genitals because gender expression would also not be a thing, or gender roles, or gemdered clothing.
Anyway, rule of thumb: your entire identity isn't dictated by the existence of any single organ. I am not my cock. I have a cock. That's different. Just as you are not stupid and evil, you just have backwards and false ideas and the false impression that you are correct when you are demonstrably not. You'd do well to think before speaking/typing, so to not make such of a bigoted ass out of yourself. Unless that's the look you're going for of course. It is very popular to be wrong and malinformed. It's not very practical or functional in the long term though. The world will progress regardless of whether you (want to) belong to a group or dinosaurs or a group of progressive people.
Never use the phrase biological female. It implies there are non biological females
And yet, you don't want trans people to be trans.
This man is a professor that truly seems to want to seek the truth. His comment on academic freedom at the end was the cherry on top. We need more academics like him in the world.
When I was a boy , I liked to dance and paint. Sports were not my favorite, though I did love windsurfing. I was singled out by teachers and back then, they tries to force me into their mood of what a boy should be. Later in life, I went to live in Latin America when a man that dances is considered macho. I became a total stud. I dread to think what they would have done to me today.
New Dawn
No one would have done anything to you.
This guy is full of crap.
If a girl shows typically male interest or a boy shows typically female interest, they are going to be asked if they want to transition. A relative who is a girl keeps getting told by her teacher that she is a boy. She tells the teacher that she is a girl, but the teacher won't stop calling her a boy. I don't know if she is going to get removed from the class or not.
@@brendalg4

@@brendalg4 I was totally a boy. But in an inventor, artist, philosopher, writer, guitar playing way. I played squash, tennis, cricket, football, hockey etc. But I loved windsurfing and sailing because it was like being one with nature. I lived to dance and later martial arts too. It's just people have very limited ideas about what a boy should be into. Beer trucks and football for men and make-up, shoes and gossip for women. Very limited. Even some of the gayest dudes can be quite macho in a stereotypical way. People are Fked up and need others to sort into their categories., even if it means operating on them. Sickos.
1990s epidemnic. I met with a young college student back then about career. He told me he was socially inept and isolated because he was sexually abused by his parents as a child. I asked him how he knew this. He said his therapist told him. I asked how many sessions he had with this therapist. He said just one. Iaskede if he rembered this abuse in any way. He said no. I asked him if he was afrai8d of his parents. He said no. Knowing his local ethnic culture, I asked him if his parents kept him safe by allowing him to play outsside only in their back yard. By himself. For years. Not peculiar to his family. A local custom, the parents anxiety and fear ridden (for good historical reasons). I got blunt. I said he was socially inept because of all that isolation. And he could learn to socialize by behavioral counseling andv coaching. I also asked him to get a second opinion from another therapist. He aggreed, and seemed to be relived. I asked him why he looked so relieved,. He sai the therapiost had told him he needed to work with her alone, ant consult any other therapist. Now he felt he could see another therapist because I said he should. He saw a new therapoist, He too up behavioral traing for socializing. We hit upon a craaer that would fir him, engage his mind and feelings. He never saw the original therapist. Everything worked out well enough.
thank you for speaking up, you have given him a gift
Lovely story, but why is it so riddled with typos? Are you blind? Presbyopia?
So glad when he brought up the 90s fad of "repressed sexual trauma" that psychologists could insist were present in women that hadn't actually been sexually been abused. The therapy would convince some women and induce false memories that would result in actual trauma. This was a very real and serious thing, yet this podcast is only the 2nd time I've ever heard it mentioned. Human psychology can be incredibly susceptible to negative or harmful malleability
That gets even more complicated though. Because after there were a spate of me too hynosis regression false reports there was then a counter fad of reports of false regressions which actually were not false and had really happened. So that was a huge shit show. Cos a lot of kids who they found to have been falsely regressed had been put back in homes with absuers and so yeah its not so clear cut with that situation. Which he didnt mention the whole lash back to that also being a sort of fad. I suppose its similar to the me too and then anver heard and then the lashback to that has consequences. The balance isnt easy i supoose.
Glass delusion used to be very popular for about 200 years.
It wasn’t just women it was men too. My brother went off to one of these retreatment weekends in order to dig up his past trauma. He came back and sat down with my parents to announce that despite all his best efforts he just couldn’t find an incident he was abused in any way. I think it was meant to be reassuring to my parents but it had the opposite effect.
Much like the "satanic ritual" scandal.
There is a similar problem with ACES. If you spend decades telling people that if you don't feel well it's because they were traumatized they are going to retroactively label their childhoods as traumatic when asked about it.
Thank you for having him on, I doubt many are aware of Bailey, or the others, doing this work.
If you get a chance, speak to Professor Michael Biggs - he's shown that, "the Dutch Protocol" upon which virtually all modern day Trans treatment is based, & is referenced by WPATH - is horrifically flawed.
This is still a medical scandal, still waiting to happen.
Thanks for adding that info about Prof. Michael Biggs and the 'Dutch Protocol.' I now have more to research and add to my growing list of validation that this is all another psyop, and social contagion, being inflicted on a malleable population. Shocking and scary times, indeed.
It seems we are awash in quackery and charlatanism passing itself as scientifically established expertise. So once again we find the authorities are pack of liers circling the wagons.
Thanks
Not only that, it had poor outcomes, even while having more exclusive eligibility standards applied to the participants than what is being done currently. Most of the patients recently receiving "gender affirmation" based procedures, would have been excluded from the original study.

As an older person I have not seen so many messed up individuals respecting obsessive behaviors. From eating disorders, to obsessions of different types like extreme need to tidy up, to clean, etc. And there is an obsessive need to look and be the same as every one else. I speak mostly of younger people. Meeting them I could feel empathy and sadness but also some level of shock at how many suffer from various obsessions. Unbalanced comes to mind. It seems to me that many younger people were ripe to being plucked from their lives to taking on certain trends as a way to 'fix' themselves. It feels so wrong and so tragic. Then, along comes these freakos calling themselves pediatricians, shrinks etc. pulling this gender affirmation theory to guilt parents and others to agreeing to a child's dysphoria or mental illness. It is a far darker story than most humans have any comprehension of and jumping on the trans train quickly to 'solve' a problem is a grave error. A red flag is when the progressives so called, all side with the trend, the pronouns, the flags etc. Nothing feels right, balanced or in the best interests of the child or adult who is suffering.
Buddy, I hate to break it to you...but older people just drank those compulsions away and abused people around them.
You don't think the 56 year old man who's had the same lunch at his work everyday for 30 years isn't suffering the same sort of issues ?
Really hypocritical for a right wing bible thumping flag waving normie type to rant about conformity
Skindred, you know a lot. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've watched this snowballing foolishness for a long time. I was there so I can say you're assessment of older people is uninformed to be polite about it. Life is far to easy in the west these days.

From the article:
"The finding is concerning because youth with mental health issues may be especially likely to lack judgment necessary to make these important, and in the case of medical transition permanent, decisions."
"Lack of judgement" is probably an obsolete term.
Much because humans with conflicting ideas or problems have an "urge" to have the pain go away.
Discomfort is a strong feeling that easily out-competes long term planning and diverse and calm reasoning.
Pain makes humans self occupied and intollerant. My thinking and my feelings take priority.
It is natural and quite kogic, You will alter pehaviour towards dealing with your own urges when they are urgent.
As you read in the report, prior "mental issues" is common.
Mental pain and distress makes you narcissistic.
The problem is the current trend is to grant the selfish human with strong feelings even more priority.
Being important is gratified and saluted.
People who say they are important are heroes. Especially if you express pain and even better if you can express victimhood.
Then we are all ears.
In a world where we regard everything generated by SELF as sacred our hands are tied.
Irony, humor, critisism, suspicion with regard to possible flaws in human thinking is forbidden.
I was a mother of two in the early eighties, a boy and a girl. Kids come up with all sorts of things, say things and do things they don't understand and sometimes just do it for attention. All I can say is let kids be kids, let them play outside with other kids and have fun; life for kids is so serious these days when this period of their life should be the best. Those who want to force kids to identify as a specific gender, shame on you! This scientist deserves an award, not cancelling, cancel those who would cancel.
These kids like to be gender queer because they wanna be cool with peers and rebel from their parents. You should start behaving like a guy and trying to sound like one and dress like one, and that'll solve your child girl's "I wanna be a man" behavior because it'll suddenly be very very uncool. Same goes for men with children and male children. Just fully embrace their crap and pretend to be what they want to be and suddenly they'll hate it.
Yea this isn’t to deny trans people exist, it’s just a very small group of people. And it has been overblown into a trend.
Guide your kids. Letting kids be “kids” is where this comes from

I have never had any issue with gender identity. But I can say that when I was a young child I remember my mum telling me she wanted me to be a girl. As she had already had my brother and they had no desire to have more children.
I remember wanting so badly to be a girl just to make my mum happy. But she explained she is not upset or sad I am a boy. She loves me no matter what. Which now as an adult I 100% understand.
Yet I can only imagine if I had voiced this concern to a "modern" teacher. They would have ruined my life off of a single simple non contextual comment made by my mother.
Just because I was not mature enough to understand the meaning behind my mums words.
I am gay and I have no 'gender identity'. I am 73 and absolutely none of my heterosexual or gay male friends experienced a 'gender identity'. We never said"I identify' as anything. To do so is a new social construction.
The whole "I identify as" thing is a phony idea anyway. The act of identification takes an observer. What we conjure in our heads is irrelevant from the point of identification.
Yup. im gay and i never struggled with my gender. i just knew i didnt like females and i liked males. Im sure if i were a child i could have been convinced into being confused about my gender, but that confusion would have come from adults making it confusing and confusing me, not from my own thoughts.
What is your definition as gender? What does the word substantiate in your mind? I’m asking as a curious person without judgement or using malice intent. Genuinely curious as I don’t understand what and why the term is being thrown around like it’s a religion or cult. Can people not treat other people just like a normal person? Why do we have to differentiate what gender we have to identify as? What purpose does that bring into a conversation between friends? Have society become so judge mental or sick in the mind, that a label suddenly makes a person saintly because of a label and not despite of the actions they have taken in life? It’s not like a title such as Sir or Dr. why do people self assign a label and believe they are entitled to feel special without any effort? It works in a game fantasy sphere, but why is it being taken out of context into life, when we know things that are in play, in a game that is constructed specifically with different attributes to real life?
Have people finally lost their touch to reality and fell into mental despair without the faculty to separate fantasy and reality? Do we all need a sticker that says we are special despite it only being a sticker?
Sorry, I’ve been living under a rock and do not use social media, for obvious reasons…

No ✌️
My son went through something similar. As a parent, all I could do was love unconditionally. That was three years ago and he has outgrown it to a large extent. I never judged him or gave any negative comments or attitude. We walked that journey together and I gave him all the space he needed to discover his identioty and explore it as he needed to. He is in a straight relationship now and happy. All three of my children have explored their sexuality within the comfort of a healthy parent child relationship. We have no secrets , no lies, just love and trust. Parents need to understand that their children are unique individuals. As long as their behaviour is non destructive to their health and that of others, let them discover who they are.
Everyone is sleeping on this comment. Let children explore, don’t push them to plastic surgery and taking drugs that they don’t need. Let them have their natural bodies and explore their interests and they will live an uncomplicated life.
yes, exactly. my son was in adulthood, legally anyway but he wasnt gojng for any reassignment , he was at a crossroads, one which I wasnt going to hate him for but stood by his side as a parent should. He made te decison both ways, A - exploration and b) it was ultimately not for him. I will say, his mother encouraged him to consider resassignment, I'm glad he didnt go there because of the well documented risks but had he done so, I would love him as dearly as I always have.@@HonerableG

A new mom had her tending nurse changing her girl's diaper showed her clitoris to mom, a Christian that never knew what it was, hated sex, and just had to endure it for procreation. Another book banning mom said "If they find their clitoris they will masturbate".
The 1st clause of Lawrence v TX states "Nothing but a penis shall legally penetrate a TX vagina, (or an IL vagina while in TX)." No dildos, fingers, or tongues were allowed in TX vaginas until SCOTUS over turned it. Scalia's dissenting statement was "The devil is Wiley". 5 recent GOP SCOTUS justices agreed with Scalia in their confirmation hearings.
The 2nd clause states "A TX penis (or penis in TX) shall not legally penetrate any orifice other than a vagina". No hand jobs, or oral sex allowed in TX until SCOTUS overturned it. 6 on SCOTUS agree with Scalia's desire to outlaw blowjobs.
47 chromosome kids with dual set of sex organs might have a vagina but no overies, and a pair of testicles that didn't drop or a penis with no testicles, and ovaries with no vagina.
Biological Chimerism can show child's DNA from her mom's sister who was a twin who was never born but shared DNA in the womb with the mom in her brain. Chimeras are rare, but real.
Isn’t it weird that all three of them were questioning, though? I’m not saying you or your parenting “caused” it, but if you compare the previous generations where maybe one person in a large cousin cohort was gay (but usually all of them were straight) but no more, doesn’t it strike you strange that lightening struck your family three times?
Really, we need to re examen myths like “Born That Way” and realize that something very strange is going on in our society.
My younger sister is gay. She has acted like a boy since she was 5 or 6 . She dressed like a boy. It was never a problem for my parents. She is now in her 50's, still gay. She has a buzz cut. She is a trainer, with broad shoulders, very small breasts. She has a women's name. She does not say she is a man. She did not have any hormone therapy. She is happy with herself, and we, her family, are happy for/with her. Gay happens, make it simple.
I like your summation..........gay happens, make it simple. My spouse and I have both had gay members in the family tree. Everybody accepted them and loved them. Why would any sensible, considerate person wish for anything else?
gender disphoria is a mental health issue and its taken over from anorexia & Bolemia

My professor in college wrote a book on S&M and we spent a great deal of time discussing autogynophilia amongst other things ... sadly it was probably around the last year's of real discussions surrounding deviance of sexuality openly and honestly because of people getting offended. It's scary really because people's feelings now matter more then reality and facts.
Isn't it strange that the most easily offended also seem to be the least ashamed.
@@WinkLinkletterGood point.
@@WinkLinkletter That's because they are not actually offended. Claiming offense is simply one of the tactics used in the agenda of normalization.
Tolerance does not justify allowing children to wrongly think the solution to their mental health issues or unhappiness is found in transgenderism.
It is a result of feminist sensitivity - on another podcast they were discussing how when men go to college they predominately come out the same value wise - and women don't- in that discussion they said men surveyed when it came to scientific findings would rather have the scientific evidence released publicly regardless of how it would affect people where as the women would rather hold back if it had the potential to hurt people's feelings. Hence believe all women was a campaign and not believe all men.
There will be a lot of damaged people in the next 20 years who bitterly regret adapting their bodies. This is so sad and dangerous that no one can tell the truth without being vilified, denied and bullied.
I am waiting for the day when the lawyers get heavily involved.
Good thing almost all the therapy endorsed by doctors is reversable hormone therapy.
A.G.
I'm very curious to see the actual evidence you have to backup such a strong claim. Please share it.
Last I read, there are 15,000 legal cases against transgender clinics in America, from those regretting the surgery.
On the bright side, there will be less human breeding and therefore a lower population.
(Which I believe is the actual end goal of this nonsense.🤔)
They can't force people to sterilize themselves so the convince people to sterilize themselves.
It's brain washing for the purpose of population control. Pure and simple.
I just read through his redacted paper, and the man is right. Plus for years I've been calling it a trend in which it really is.
Do you have the link? I couldn’t understand the first word he said referencing the link? I got the “Daily ROGD” part
Found it
It's both, In this video they are not talking about all gender Dysphoria but a form of Gender Dysphoria with teens or adolescents.
Sexual disorders are mostly culturally induced.
Example:
70% of girls raised by non-str8 women become non-str8 women.
*Social Contagion - like the Salem Witch Trials only even more destructive.
If the tolerance issue is a "thing", as described by Chris, then why isn't there a 4000% increase in middle aged women coming out as trans, like there is amongst teen aged girls?
Because by the time you're middle aged, you're more comfortable in your own skin and less concerned about what other people think about you.
@@brushstroke3733 amen. I would have thought this would have been obvious to the above commentor, but... 🙄🙄🙄 One of the wonderful things about maturity, regardless of what age we develop it, is that we can distinguish between facts and beliefs, examine different points of view, agree to disagree, agreeably. Getting 'trapped' in a very narrow bandwidth of understanding any particular issues does nobody any favours.
I wonder if the kids now on puberty blockers are still able to mature mentally that way.
@@brushstroke3733 I think this phenomenon clearly illustrates that this "craze" is not due to genuine trans-gender feelings but rather it is a social media driven issue.
@@douglasherron7534 Perhaps, but there may be other enviromental factors involved as well, for example, the pollutants that cause male frogs to become gay male frogs. Studies show that sperm counts and testosterone levels in human males ars dropping, which are likely caused by pollutants. These same pollutants may be interacting with the sex hormones of both males and females and contributing to social factors that appear to be encouraging these transitions.
Wow…after listening to the video and reading some comments, I am so glad that I moved to the Yukon Territory where you can be who you want to be with no stigma. I read one of the comments where a women was a Tom Boy, liked boys toys, had terrible periods, etc., but grew to being a girl, attracted to boys and has been married for 52 years. Could be my story except I have been married 57 years. However, as a child and young woman, I was raised in a, I guess, small, traditional town in Ontario, Canada. My Mom was totally against my Tom Boy ways and to this day says I wanted to be a boy. Fortunately, my husband and I moved to the Yukon where I could be myself….hunt, fish, drive 4x4 all over the Territory where their was roads and even if there was no roads. Also, fortunately I had 2 sons and they loved to go on adventures with me. It all worked out…my husband worked away from home 5 months of the year and I missed him but I was glad that me and the boys had lots to do and I treasure those wonderful times that we could only have had in my beloved Yukon. When our sons grew up with lives of their own I continued to have wonderful adventures with my husband after we retired.
What a great life!
Wow, I feel happy and excited hearing about all your adventures. Some day I do hope to go to the Yukon. Your life sounds just amazing!
Thing is if u had daughters chances are they would have also liked to go on adventures with you. Most girls are adventurous until they hit their teens and are pressured to be something else.

This is called Individuality, and you are very, very lucky to have found a mate with whom you jibed.
Interesting conversation. Thanks Chris. I would enjoy hearing more of these "cancelled" academics. Even if their theories turn out to be wrong, scientific process can't happen without the freedom to be publicly incorrect.
Yes, but THIS guy is RIGHT.
These people are way more honest. No child should be subjected to these treatments. Only at age 25 do you actually have common sense and are not influenced by friends and social media. Most kids go through stages. These so called doctors who use puberty blockers or hormones are destroying children's lives.
There is a new podcast called heretics.
He wasn't cancelled. His work was "retracted" and he stated why....
He had a non-academic gather data without following the normal protocol
Also, the audience they sampled the data from seemed pretty biased, based on how he described them
I really question the integrity of his work
@@rsbah He followed the protocol that was required of him. There was no breach of ethics.
"Research" that supports many of the claims of trans activists is about as biased as it gets, and the field is full of junk science.
I find it rather interesting . When I was a teen - 80s last century - it was common ( not purely academic, actually kindof folklore ) knowledge where I lived and the circles I was in that puberty for either gender is a time of confusion, and finding ones sexual identity . It was simply accepted as a feature to be really insecure about ourselves, and who we are sexually .
What did not happen was people telling us we might have been born "in the wrong body" . What also didn't happen was anyone preying on us, adivising us to surgically change our bodies the moment we expressed any kind of insecurity about our sexual identity .
I was a teen in the 80s.. grooming language and predators were everywhere then too. They were just far more more passive suggestive. Getting kids to even question nature's design on sexuality, opens the door to confusion.
More importantly, there was virtually no internet and no social media. These are the new social spaces in which this is cultivated.
Ye I always say like.. idk
But isn't the whole "Journey of Self Discovery" like.. literally Self-Discovery lolol
*Not --- Being told things at an age where you are highly suggestible by default
I don't know of a single teenager that loves their body, and thinks that they are in the right one. I don't know of a single teenager that didn't think the other sex had it easier and sometimes wished they'd been born the other. It's almost like puberty is a wild emotional and irrational time where you're trying to discover your identity or something
@@Patson20 I was that single teenager
I enjoyed this conversation. Whats more, I imagine a world where we have the words to share intelligent, supportive conversations and lots of hugs with our kids about human sexuality and all the changes that happen. Letting them know they are perfectly okay right where they are. That its a few chapter in what seems like a long complicated book but, nature has been doing this for a ages and if we trust, it all works out.
I hurt myself badly trying to make myself into someone who would be loved by my parents until I gave up, then, oddly we all came together. Im 52 now and my dad said he loved me just 2 weeks ago. It came from his mouth like a foreign language, but it happened. I felt a lifetime of healing in that instant.
He was a truck driver and a fireman, I was a girlyboy. He had no intentions of meeting me where I was and he seemed distant, angry and unaccessible so I stayed lost for a long time.
If you aren’t your child’s mentor, somebody else will be. Meet them where they are; don’t make them jump through invisible hoops for attention.
Spot on. We are all perfectly ok as we are.
Spot on. We are all perfectly ok as we are.
Spot on, we're all okay as we are.
Well.. "When in Rome.." 😉
This canceling stuff is awful! I just wish people would let other people say what they want and need to say. it's better to be in the open to be able to debate then to silence!!!
💯💯💯 We live in a crazy world...
That would be like the Spanish Inquisition allowing people to speak what they believed was heresy. As @loganblackwood2922 said, "ideologues don't want debate, they want conformity." They're so convinced they are on the side of good and that anyone who opposes their positions are evil that they bekieve they have the right and duty to stamp out opposition.
@@loganblackwood2922 well said. And if you have a valid argument for anything, with sufficient evidence to back up your claims, simply 'come to the table' in a healthy adult way and be open to discussing differences.
The key clause (containing a hint to the answer to your question) in your comment is “to be able to.”
Go look up some of the history of what this guy has said in the past and get back to me. This guy is a joke.
Part of the issue with victim culture and intersectional theory is the incentive to use your flaws or your psychological divergences as a crutch. In older times, you would hide that, try to act normal, etc., which wasn't ideal, but did cause many to overcome disadvantages and achieve things. In the process of creating a more inclusive world where we want to help those who are disadvantaged, we unwittingly create incentives to lean into those things to get benefits, deflect accountability, and justify our lack of success or competency, when really maybe we could achieve those things despite these hurdles. We need to be able to work towards removing those hurdles without people feeling they can't still try to overcome them if needed.
My family moved to the USA (on a permanent resident visa) in 1965, when I was 8. It was the first time I saw a TV, much less watched one. My parents were both force-feeding us advanced education, so there were years when no one watched any TV at all. During the years when we watched TV, we tended to watch little of it, or something "worthwhile" (news, the Peanuts cartoon specials, something on PBS). As a result, we did not participate nearly as much as our peers (including some of my best friends at school during this time, of a similar background, and attending the same church) in the Hypersexualized & Hypersexualizing content that most young people my age, my siblings' ages (and eventually my 3 children's ages) have been immersed in since early childhood. Most American families are not exposed to non-American content from foreign countries or outside the Anglosphere; most, therefore, are not even able to imagine that the entire world does not watch this content ("programming"... and it's called that for a reason! I worked in Hollywood for a few years as a writer & script doctor/researcher/fact checker, I know the industry very well, some of my school chums became top creators/producers on The Simpsons show, etc). Americans have been brainwashed, in utterly unsubtle ways, into imagining that if a girl is close to other girls, she must "want to have sex with them." And vice versa. That is rubbish on stilts! I have had a number of close women friends: I have never had the least interest in kissing them on the mouth, taking their clothes off or hugging them romantically! I have exchanged warm and affectionate letters with them, and sentimental gifts, but there was nothing the least sexual about any of it. And in many cases as we had our own kids, we had no time left to carry on maintaining our contact, even though, of course, we missed the conversations and had fond memories of our youth. But young kids today are being programmed to think, "I like this person, who is my sex, more than I like the opposite-sex teens who are attempting to flirt with me or date me. That means we should be Lovers (instead of just close platonic friends, as people in our 'uptight' parents' generation would have been)". It's all a Weapon of Mass Distraction, a terrible burden for young people in the most vulnerable and susceptible years of their lives, as they are just beginning to experience their own biological maturation unfolding... There's an agenda behind all of this and no, it is not difficult to figure it out. That's not to say there are not Gay people, Gay teens or people with intense attractions to someone of the same sex. But it is not credible to claim, "I feel like a woman," if you have no idea what a Woman feels like, because you have never had to deal with Menarche, Ovulation, Menstruation, Infections of the Fallopian Tubes, having a much smaller bladder, etc! The fixation on the kind of clothes people wear is also something I never understood, and that also is fed through the TV set above all. In ancient times, men wore "dresses," too (long robes). In the 17th & 18th century, wealthy men wore makeup and elaborate wigs! And vivid colors! And satin, lace, silk, velvet! Those were the fashions, and it had nothing to do with who was attracted to their own sex or having sexual experiences with both sexes (that was simply called Debauchery, not "bisexuality")!! The idea that your 5 year old boy who hates the heavy, coarse, luridly daubed clothing being sold as "Boys' " at your local lower-cost garment supply store "must be gay" because he prefers the softer, slinkier fabrics that are available to his older sister is simply more Programming. It's obviously just a result of hideous decisions being made at the apparel company, that for some reason imagine a toddler with a penis needs to be rapidly habituated to wearing sackcloth and burlap instead of combed cotton and finer shirt-quality fabrics - that do exist, and that are worn by white-collar workers, and are (for obviously valid reasons) indeed preferred by men who are more fashion-conscious (and also gay). Stop fixating on what your boy or girl child likes to wear or play with, or whether s/he seems to be "more of a tomboy" or "more of a sensitive soul." Those are personality traits and they do not need to have anything whatsoever to do with Sexuality, "identity" or subsequent life choices. Intelligent people take their time. No one needs to know everything about what they will live their life as in the first 15 years of existence! And one last thing: some women with limited experience freak out when they see their son born with a very small male organ. They think, "That's it! He's effeminate! He won't be virile! Better turn him into a girl!" Relax, stop freaking out, feed your child a normal healthy diet. Don't stint on the meals! My grandson was born "small" on a 9-pound, full-term baby body. When he was 3, he was tubby, pudgy, everyone was freaking out. Active, healthy appetite, wholesome food, only drank water (no sodas, none of that). I urged caution to everyone who was wringing their hands that he would grow up "an obese, nerdy, geeky kid." Then he hit 12. Literally in a matter of just 2-3 weeks, with no dietary or lifestyle changes at all - just the testosterone kicking in, as I knew it would - he shot up, became tall and lanky, skinny as a rail... and very well-endowed in that department. Embarrassingly so. Now, at 13 and a half, he is a tall, skinny, nerdy, geeky kid with a big appetite. And shy. And that's who he is. Stop freaking out. Do what we did: banish the TV set, if only for some years. Choose your content more carefully. *It is a parent's prerogative and obligation to choose the content that surrounds their child and makes up their home culture. Remember that. It is part of your job as a parent.*
Your comment would be a lot easier to read if it were divided into clear paragraphs.
Just saying. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@mirceazaharia2094Agreed! I stopped reading once my phone was filled from top to bottom with text.
Stop freaking out. That's excellent advice. It's like Keep Calm
It’s nice to see a mature and serious conversation about sexuality.
I absolutely agree. We need to take sensible and honest conversations on sexuality away from being taboo or awkward and make them a natural, normal part of human discourse.We are highly sexual beings and that should be reflected in the importance and time we give to talking about these topics. I strongly believe this would be helpful to humanity and mark an important leap forward from the centuries where such discussions were considered shameful, greatly suppressed and even censored.
Yes...i agree...we also could be more willing to validate that these people are also often victims. It is both and... It is still not an excuse to act out. They need to be held accountable for their behaviors.Remember that KINSEY USED CHILDREN HE SEXUALLY ABUSED. Research it. Be careful who you trust and what you believe. It is fun to enterain a thought but the mentally weak will build a nest and drive through to get an instant sex change and regret it later. Lets be in the TRUTH, too. It is important to use real Science. What we all had these last several years has been trauma. Now they are reenacting the trauma.
The discourse around sexuality is very polarizing. I agree, it was refreshing to learn about human sexuality without the political bias.
Only a conversation.
Back in the day teenagers would become emo's or punks as part of their teenager rebellion phase... this new trend makes piercing and tattoos look mundane! I'm very glad I'm not a teenager. It must be very confusing
Wow! I definitely had Autogynephilia like symptoms from about the age of 7 from what I can remember. It wasn’t something that ever made me considered whether or not I should be it a girl or a boy (I’m a male) and into my teens it all but disappeared. With that said I think some of that is just part of the natural curiosity our growing up and leaning things. That was in the 80’s. If I was born in the mid 2000’s my path may have been very different.
Wow trans activists can cancel a scientific article in a peer reviewed journal... The world is screwed! Michael I'm glad that your paper is available and in spite of it being retracted providence through ignorance has ensured it reached a wider readership. There needs to be a big push back against the whole of the woke mind virus!
They're not activists. They are cultists.
Did you notice what happened during Covid, before this? :P
In 2010 it was estimated 2/3 of published papers are false. It's higher now in my opinion. I read the article and fully agree with the retraction, even when ignoring all bias found. Peer reviewed just means other researchers read a submission and give their opinion. What makes a study reliable is repeatability. I'm not against many things stated, but actually solid and accepted neurobiology articles continue finding physical differences in the brain always present since birth. Unlike orientation that is purely psychological in nature (as far as I know), we now know gender identity is neurological. I'm personally aware of how difficult is to have something published, all fields are unimaginably competitive and incentive to falsify data or mislead with statistics for controversial or groundbreaking results is strong even in my field, Physics, and I don't doubt social sciences, as it's harder to repeat results, have more opportunists and errors in publication, since it is a business after all and success depends on how many people are willing to pay for your content. Any publicity is good publicity, right? haha. I get it, and I even respect this guy for his perseverance despite his past failures. Anyway, my point is that the world has been screwed for as far as any of us can remember and scientific search for truth has turned into effort to dictate truth, as corrupt as politics, maybe because the two are tied together 😂
Sorry for the rambling, this video just reminded how naive we all were as students.
Anyway, cheers have a pleasant day. ✌️☺️
Progressive leftists do this in every institution they are involved with . They are so narcissistic that nobody in said field is allowed to give differing world views , even when backed by evidence. They form huge angry mobs at universities when conservative speakers come to talk. They act like bullies in scientific fields whenever the research doesn’t go their way . They will lie and manipulate to discredit a person so their research doesn’t get noticed . Absolutely despicable people ..
@@pavols Thank you for making this point about the fact that this is normal for papers not to be basically automatically published. Most people don't understand how research and publishing papers work.
I'm sure the vast majority of people watching the video, some might even have watch like the start and nothing else, left thinking the paper was cancelled and refused because of trans propaganda, because people were disliking the content and conclusions, when the truth is it was not most likely and it's really hard to publish pertinent and really conclusive studies.
An easy example for anybody willing to be realistic and pragmatic on this topic about studies : during the XXs the tobacco industry published a ton of studies "proving" that smoking isn't dangerous for health and/or there is nothing wrong and toxic in their products, in order to create a doubt on whether or not there is something wrong with cigarettes. And it worked.
So next time anybody, who read this comment, sees a study on a topic, consider that its conclusions and findings can be true, but not for sure, and it doesn't give all the answer.
Now, it doesn't mean you can't trust nothing. You can, but cautiously and always try to stay open minded.
Excellent discussion. I do find the activists hilarious. They say that we are simultaneously living in a trans genocidal world--but also there are more trans people because society is more accepting. And we must ignore the Orwellian doublethink. 😂
But also rally in the street in support of Hamas and Palestine who is 99.9% Islam. When there are at least 200 videos of those exact same people chucking gays or trans people off roofs. (On X or elsewhere not controlled by the nanny left).
I taught adolescents for 27 yrs. Your ROGD is the latest wave of a phenomenon that is universal and timeless. AND would be a great topic for research. Adolescent girls-not all of them and not always- have a strong propensity to group hysteria. I have seen several waves of it during my time teaching. A large % of the teen women were militant lesbians for a couple years. There was a year long wave of ROTS ( rapid onset Tourette’s Syndrome)- which as you might imagine drove us teachers crazy. & if we explore history, there are thousands of examples of similar teengirl hysteria. Your ROGD is just the latest. From my educator perspective, the problem is parental. What the h-e-double toothpicks is wrong with these parents who believe this crap? Look there for your answers. Clearly, there is a parenting style that has led these children to believe this crap. And that same parenting style facilitates their hysteria, while they act out their beliefs in this crap.
And, to be perfectly clear, I have certainly had students who were authentically transgender. I had several students who I was very close to, and loved dearly, who had real deep and profound gender confusion. There is a clear difference between the two groups, those who truly suffered from some gender issues, and the hysterical girls who claim transgenderism. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
What you said at the end is so important.
Adolescent girls, group hysteria. Yeah grown women and group hysteria, no doubt. Guess the teenage girls are just practicing this female trait so they can be really good at it as they grow into adulthood. Yep. That must be it.
Transvestites don't won't to change sexes. J Edgar Hoover wanted to stay male. Bruce Jenner wore dresses when he was still a male and went all the way.
The word hysteria itself has now become politically incorrect but there's really no other way to describe it lol

i cannot say THANK YOU strongly enough to convey how appreciative that i am that you guys have created this video. we as humans create so much stress around topics like these, that those of us who are genuinely curious, or who want to empathize, understand, support, or otherwise just have meaningful conversations, cant without being critisized or otherwise shamed. i think that it takes a HUGE amount of maturity to be able to sit and have valuable and often vulnerable conversations around these "taboo" topics in a way that can create understanding, foster unity, and open dialogue into the unknown. we are all humans living on this planet, having shared experiences while simultaneously each living our own unique experience. it has always pained me that we can't talk about some of these topics without all the uproar, but i understand that these convos often carry much pain for some... so, thank you, again, for bringing a conversation like this to the general public. your sacrifices to your personal lives have not gone unnoticed and i hope that others will use this as a green light to be inspired to have their own intelligent conversations in their own lives. i hope that we can one day normalize the energy around these types of topics and actually begin to LISTEN to one another and maybe even learn a thing or two and encourage collaboration. anways, just felt like expressing my deep appreciation. Sending SO much 💖
When you mentioned the MPD diagnosis of the nineties, my jaw dropped. My mother was one of those people. A junk science therapist she had convinced her that she had MPD. However, she had a roaring case of borderline personality disorder instead. All those years of therapy for some thing she didn’t have wreaked havoc on her mind. My mother is a hermit, who basically does not leave the house, and does not have a good relationship with her children. She doesn’t trust therapists anymore, and won’t get treated.
We need to be thinking very seriously about the long-term consequences this will hold for young girls. It is precisely because of my mother’s experiences that I am leery of any major psychological movements in the community.
My psychology professor covered that in 2000. He said “This is what happens when psychology is motivated by politics!”
BPD and MPD are very closely related so it’s no surprise your mother was mis-diagnosed. MPD goes by a different name now and is understood to basically be result of serious childhood trauma.
Dude it was the 90s...they were still sectioning gay people
Are you suggesting by comparison that the many thousand years of historical evidence for transgender/third gender people in every society across the globe is mistaken and this was actually all invented by doctors a few years ago?
One of the main issues of the claims of speakers like these is that they are completely disconnected from what is actually happening in medical practice (he did say that he is not a clinician so that's somewhat understandable). Everywhere he suggests a "desire to be a woman" for instance somehow leads to medical treatment is in direct contradiction with the real world.
There were questions about one of my daughter's friends a couple of years ago and after one meeting with the doctor he was very clear ruling out gender dysphoria and that desire (saying "I want to be a boy" or "I wish I was a boy") was immediately disqualifying, and the only thing that could continue down the path to possible diagnosis was consistent and persistent insistence over time (generally multiple years) that they ARE in fact the opposite gender. The entire medical establishment surrounding this is set up to screen out and prevent youths from entering into the medical system, which is why the number of them eventually receiving actual treatment is so so low (less than 1000 per year total)
That's one way to sort out who is actual serious in performing and presenting research on this, that they have some conception of what the actual medical diagnosis is about. Similarly, any doctor making claims like this is operating outside of the bounds of medical practice (likely also selling something) and should have their license challenged.
@@skindred1888what does “sectioning” mean?
There was a young man talking about his experiences with trans/de-trans and from what he was saying he was being offered the chance to be a totally different person, with no downsides.
Imagine being a kid thats spotty, unpopular, unattractive to the opposite sex and messed up about it all and the adults are telling you that through big pharma and judicious use of surgery they can change you from the person you've come to hate to somebody totally new and apparently perfect, with all your problems solved. How tempting might that be for a depressed kid fed-up with being the person they are?
The change of sex is really not whats being offered here - its the false claim that you can be changed into somebody different. The change of gender is just evidence that the total change has occured.
YES,,BUT.. its your genes, dna,, that make you who you are.. even if you change your appearence,, your kids will still be ugly.. fact..
Well that happens for girls who get surgery to be more beautiful all over the world. In india they tell the girls to bleach their faces. In china they tell girls to lose weight and get their jaw shaved down snd their eyelids done something with. In africa they scar their faces. In some muslim places they cut off their external labia. I mean we are mentally unwell minds. It seems like being natural and whats inside that matters is now a weird thing.
Very good.
And, there IS no 'change', they are still the sex as when born.
@@JavaAndroid they have a lot of changes actually. Their chromasomes dont change thats true. But their looks change theiri voice change their bones change their expression of their chromasomes chnages so that everyone else is seeing what seems to be the other gender. Thats all they want. Theyre not bothered about chnaging their chromasomes. They just want to change the identfiers.
Making it legal for hormone therapy or surgeries for children under the age of 18 is madness. If you hit 18 and still wish to proceed, go for it, as a consenting adult. But children go through a myriad of emotional and psychological phases as they are growing, their hormones are going wild. The risk of permanently changing one's body because of a temporary phase should be an extremely obvious concern.
Except that the modern 18 year olds have been brainwashed for years by internet and TV

So, I've just started the video, but before watching wanted to be sure I pulled up the article. This is what is noted as the reason for retraction (notice there is nothing stating a disagreement with conclusions):
"The Publisher and the Editor-in-Chief have retracted this article due to noncompliance with our editorial policies around consent. The participants of the survey have not provided written informed consent to participate in scholarly research or to have their responses published in a peer reviewed article. Additionally, they have not provided consent to publish to have their data included in this article. Table 1 and the Supplementary material have therefore been removed to protect the participants’ privacy.
The authors disagree with this retraction."
A close female family member of mine started to transition at 17 after her trans friend tragically died. She then went onto to college where she was given hormones and had her breasts lopped off, all paid for by the Canadian tax payers under Trudeau. It’s been several years that’s she’s on these hormones now. She’s physically unhealthy, appears to have a drinking problem and all the testosterone seems to have stunted her cognitive maturity. She stopped talking to me after I told her I don’t agree that minors can consent to puberty blockers. I’m filled with helplessness, sadness and anger.
I seriously cannot believe that this is actually happening. They are sterilizing and butchering our children and we can’t stop it. How the hell did this happen? 😢
Sounds similar to having to let someone go because of a drug addiction and her testosterone injections are definitely a drug.
Thanks for sharing we should keep fighting this evil with truth
I've known three FtM trans, each one was constantly in the hospital for various health problems and injuries. Always complaining about anger moods and wanting to fight or how depressed they are. one of the reasons you never hear about trans men is they harm the feminist and trans narrative. They are walking examples that women can't handle being men, and because of their instability, substance abuse and high suicide rates also harm the trans movement.
On the road to hell paved with good vibes.
The person, a natal female, who wrote gender queer shows signs of autoandrophilia. She was severely neglected, her mother never taught her about being a girl or woman, her mom neglected her feminine hygiene needs, and the transition to womanhood was severely traumatic for her. She came to despise being a woman but realized she wasn’t a lesbian, but admits she gets aroused by being perceived as a man. It’s a very disturbing book that shouldn’t be in schools. But I feel so bad for her too, she is a very broken person and it’s a painful story to read how she became that way.
It’s a story that should be told, but to adults. Not children
It should not be in schools not in that way kids take it wrong way and hard them self.
I spent a lot of time writing a post on my personal life experiences and my research to have UA-cam reprimand and censor me. I am disgusted and saddened.
Yes youtube have threatened me heavily A woman!! For commenting on fake females and biological womens safety. Dark and utopian and will never change my views on all this.
I need to stop listening to these awesome interviews while putting the baby down for afternoon nap.. I slept through 25min of this interview and now I have to go back and listen again…
This professor has deep pool of tested knowledge and the interviewer is asking precisely the questions I’d like to ask… Truly delightful to listen to. Definitely going back to the beginning to listen to what I missed. 🥰👍
Chris is so fascinated by all these legit weird sexualities, but a man not wanting to be with another biological man after some surgery makes them a weird right winger 😂😂
So glad i grew up in 60s and 70s. Rough childhood but i never thought of what gender i was. I still feel for people today that are struggling with gender issues.
I was a weird effeminate kid growing up, and I would have loved a little social status and protection from bullying. I'm so glad I grew up in the time and place I did and not now. I got over it and became a perfectly normal, masculine man. I'm married with three kids, and I ended up enjoying stereotypically masculine things. I'm a perfectly normal man. But if I had grown up with the social influences kids have today, I might very well have believed I was transgender and ruined my body and mind with sick ideologies, drugs, and surgeries. I very likely would have destroyed my life.
Thank you for posting this comment, it gives me hope.
Same as you, I was born an effeminate kid, in the same bullying and the lack of social status that you were as a child.
In my case, I began thinking myself to be a girl one day because I'm more emotional and sensitive than my friends, and I lack any sort of physical strength. However, I came to the conclusion that I'd needed to accept both my manly and my feminine side, which ultimately concluded whatever gender transformation I was about to do.
Sorry if my English is bad, I don't usually write comments. But thank you. This gives me hope that one day I'll become a man like you.

Exactly. This guy speaks as if sexual behavior and beliefs originate solely in some genetic codes and are expressed without any cultural influence. Not entirely, to be fair to him, but whoa! Who you’re with and how they treat you and what is accepted in your sub-culture, and what is accepted by the greater culture… I can never understand how a guy in a lab coat, or on a podium, or behind a desk on TV can compel folks to deny their very senses.
This is one of the best discussions on this topic that I’ve come across. Full of research, lacking bias, just an open and honest conversation and really down to the nitty gritty. Thank you Chris for this interview.
This is the first serious work and conversation I have read, studied or listened to and it is wonderful that these people are fighting for the rights of children the way they are. Too many children's lives are being ruined by policies being implemented led by people or psychologists who have no idea what they are talking about and so make assertions in a desperate attempt to find answers led by emotion when they have none because the truth is they have no idea. I would recommend that it is looked into that children are being abandoned by parents in their job of following their child's development and correcting their mistakes in their early ages, be they mistakes in understanding the world they are learning from or mistakes in understanding their emotions and what those emotions mean in correlation with their understanding of the world, just as they would correct their child if their child wished to put their hand in a flame because they are attracted to it. White flies are caught by using light to attract them then catch them in nets. They have an attraction to light, but no one or nothing to teach them that just because you like something, it does not mean your response should be to approach it if to do so would produce a negative outcome. Children of human beings should not be left in the position or vulnerability we see associated with these white flies they should have parents whose job is to observe and guide them early and lightly, but yet parents in the West are encouraged to abandon this responsibility and even made to feel like they are abusing their child if they do this while other cultures take up that responsibility. The truth is, just because you are attracted to something it does not mean that there is only one way to enjoy it and when selecting how you enjoy it, it you should consider the most healthy way to enjoy it. There are things you are attracted to through logic and things you are attracted, things you are attracted to by instinct and things that you are attracted to by emotion and then there are reactions to this attraction that take place through logic. reactions through instinct and reaction through emotion, but the end result must be positive because we are human, not white flies and so have a more sophisticated and intelligent and natural process of moving forward that assures us a better ability to survive than the white fly. This process we use as human beings on these matters takes place in guiding our children in their family life sand cultural surroundings in their understanding of the world from an early age and how they should respond to their attractions, but is being deprived of children by parents who have abandoned their responsibilities, do not understand their duties and responsibilities any more or are accused of abusing their children if they do so and policies laid out by governments to encourage that end. The result is that like white flies attracted to light with no guidance to stay away, children are being left abandoned to respond to what may attract them in a way that achieves a negative end and even encouraged by lies that a negative end does not exist and wonderful things will be found ahead of them which is in fact an act of abuse on the child. For example, a child that is a boy that likes the colour blue and so begins insisting their shoes must be blue, the drinks they buy must be blue, their wall paper must be blue their everything must be blue, can simply be told by his father, 'My son, I like blue too, but it does not mean everything I have must be blue, I enjoy blue from a distance, just looking at it.' And the boy will understand and take the necessary action themselves to deal with their attraction to the colour blue in a different way and be happy and even thankful to their father for doing this, but also feel loved by their father and feel closer to their father for helping them understand how they should be dealing with their attraction to blue. This has been eradicated from the experience of a child's upbringing in the family and in social and cultural surroundings in the West, but is something that is built in the instinctive habits of the families of other cultures and in the habits of their societies and how they construct their cultural surroundings aware that these must contribute to the healthy life experience of children found in the home and family. The dismantling of this in the West led by psychologists and their influence on government policy that with honesty are incapable of doing their jobs is harming children in the West and their development to be adults during the family experience of their upbringing, and so has how government policies they influence have affected this family experience. Peace and love
As a sexual abused child (started at age six), I had a terrible relationship with my body going through puberty. I wanted to cut my breasts off or at least hide them. I was literally asking my mom how to make them disappear or how to rope them to become invisible.
For decades I was hiding my body through XL clothes having size S. Thank God I grew up as a teenager in the 90s, were I used to listen to grunge music a lot, later in my early twenties got help from several therapists who gently listened to my story and helped me to heal my sexual abuse trauma and I choose to do the uncomfortable body work necessary for healing.
It took me years to learn how to feel comfortable in my female body. Like really comfortable.
Imagine my life today, nobody would have listened to the hidden fact that I was severely abused for years and how my family failed to protect me but they would have just tried to cure "the symptoms" of turning me into a male without breasts, because I was so scared of what will happen to me when I grew into a full woman . 😮
Now at age 46, I know the data of sexual violence against children, 20 % of of female children have experienced sexual trauma in western countries and will have severe troubles going through puberty!
And we know as well that transgender people have a lot of comorbid psychological issues that should be treated first 😅.
I am so happy for the 90s allowing me to get through all my personal struggles on my own pace, with listening to music and hanging out with people who didn't have happy childhoods neither, we supported each other, later I got help from trauma experts and again later I accidentally met a yoga teacher in India, who didn't know anything about me but worked with me a few days and then told me what happened to me and how he can help me to unblock it because trauma is stuck in the body. I was flabbergasted when he answered to my question how he knew that I had asthma and sexual trauma and was almost killed and he was like "I am not a trained psychological person but I was ten years assistant to Iyengar, we heal bodies and ailments show themselves in the body, I can read the signs in your body". After four weeks I made again major progress.
Therapy was good but Yoga helped me to heal the trauma from my body, Nowadays Bessel van de Kolk says exactly that.
My teacher helped me with body exercise to fight the anxiety, the pain, the panic, the cramps, the lack of deep breathing, the always being alert and never relax or let my guard down and my sleep problems. And on top he told me to keep away from "Gurus" who prey on people like me. He explained to me unfortunately many yoga teachers are predators as well.
Sometimes you got traumatized and then amazing people help you to heal as well. ❤
I don't believe that pushing children and teens into puberty blockers instead of riding out their struggles is helping them.
Thank you for your message; I totally agree. Doctors should investigate more why young women are so uncomfortable with their bodies. It may just not about being overweight, it may hide sexual abuse.
This has been on my thoughts as well. How many girls feel uncomfortable in their bodies due to very early sexualisation by the rest of society? Giving children puberty blockers should, in theory, give the child, doctors and parents time to figure this out before any drastical measurements are taken. Now, I still believe a person claiming to be the other sex from a very young age, such as three or four, is transgender and should be given all the help.
Going through something similar. Would u mind sharing what kind of yogs helped you unblock? Thank you for writting out your story
Im glad you worked it out
You not having kids are you?
Thank u for a great video. Why is society trying to make mental illness normal.
It's not "society" it's being pushed from the top of the piramid.... Academia is controlled by jesuit ...Jesuit is a military order that infiltrate all power to achieve some particular agenda given by their superior

In order to create more of themselves. It's understandable. They can't procreate.

@@micahbodha6129 Relax brother its a simple question just breathe
This group which he is talking about - my now adult daughter listened to this and said that when she was in high school, those were the kids, they called the Emos - young people who highly emotionalized the experiences they were going through and ascribed a lot of significance to what everybody else just regarded as the normal events of being a teenager and being in high school
Ok boomer
This is definitely a boomer post, I was an emo kid and still love the emo subculture at age 35. I'm emo at heart
@@coldsnap999what a stupid response. Her comment was valid. It IS likely that the teens who are more sensitive to negative emotion and who are more insecure and find it harder to make friends who are likely to be sucked into the LGBTQI +++ vortex and offered a ‘solution’ to their problems. Most likely they are just highly sensitive and prone to more depression and anxiety and social anxiety than gay or trans.
Amazing and vitally important interview Chris and Mr. Bailey, thank you!
Should we be surprised over this? In 2011, Psychology Today Agreed to remove Controversial Author Satoshi Kanazawa from Website: "to Prevent Inflammatory Content". He published an article explaining why different ethnic groups of women are rated more highly than others, and some groups became angry when Black women came last.
I learned that podcasters use Chat GPT for the questions they must ask the intervierwee. However, this interviewer's questions sound very genuine.
Light from South Africa.
Maybe because ChatGPT wouldn't create questions about this topic. But for real, he's a great interviewer
Chris is having a great time in this interview. His ironic comments and the fact that Michael Bailey is completely oblivious to their irony is as good an illustration as can be found of the difference between British and American humour.
I dont actually felt that they "went over his head". He seems to be choosing his words VERY carefully and trying to be absolutely objective in answering questions. Only at very few moments do you see a glimpse of his "normal" persona shine through.
So he just chose not to play along with Chris comments most of the time.
@@onlyhazeremains1365 yes, you're probably right.
@@onlyhazeremains1365i agree with this, I'm only a few minutes in, and you can tell that he is choosing his words very deliberately and making sure he has his words right before he says anything

@@zimzobOr 'joking around', this professor has already been redacted and his enemies are always looking for any little thing to blow out of proportion, take out of context or deliberately misconstrue. I highly doubt much escaped his notice.
I’m really struggling listening to this. I’m a mother who gave birth to my little girl who is now my son. I’ve had so many questions including and mostly is this my fault due to my abusive relationships and failed marriage to his dad who was extremely abusive and not in their life often. I love him, he’s an incredible human, contributor to society, successful, and lives a good life. All I could want in a child. But I’m scared for him, especially now with what is currently happening in our world, and the hormones he is taking. I am a health and menopause coach, and I see the challenges as we enter into this phase of life. My concern is how he will transition into menopause with the testosterone injections and the fact that I cannot find studies on this. I would love to be more of a part of this discussion. It’s fascinating and so needed in order to help my son and others. Thank you for your studies.
Was there an attempt to get your daughter to stay in her own body i.e. remain cisgender? Step one should always be psychiatric, therapy or drug interventions to try and do this. Transitioning should be a last resort.
Transitioning should never be a resort, it’s always harmful and it damages relationships at every level from interpersonal to international, because it is premised on a false image of reality, and nothing built on falsehood can support truth and genuine understanding. Relationships built on falsehood are sustained by lies and crushing anyone who dares to speak the truth, and necessarily must resort to violence as the lies become harder to defend.
Also, stop using male pronouns to refer to females, you’re gaslighting yourself and everyone around you. I wish you the best in recovering your daughter.
I'm sorry to say, but your child will never be a "son". She doesn't have sperm. She cannot have children with a woman and if her supply of foreign hormones and homones blockers are ever cut, she will revert right on on being a woman (depending on wether she got a hysterotectomy and/or got hormones blockers before she finished adolescence).
I know that there is a strong societal push for transitionning kids and teens depending on where one lives. But living a lie maintained by lifelong heavy medication isn't an answer.
@@zimzob that comment isn't necessary. This person has been very brave to comment at all
Adolescence is a tough time. As a tomboy who despised girly stuff or being forced into pink clothing, I think a better approach is to stop gendering clothes and toys for boys and girls, be tolerant of differences, stop the bullying of different people, make sure no sexual abuse has been a part of the child’s life - many other common sense approaches. I think puberty is gender dysphoric by its nature. Just growing hair in private places was traumatic for me and that happens for boys and girls. I never wanted to be a boy or have a penis and I’ve never been sexually attracted to women. I went into a STEM field and was a tomboy and have a healthy sex life with my male husband. As a young adult, being gay became more accepted and I wondered if people would have pushed me in that direction if I’d been born 10 years later. Now I wonder if I’d been born 30 years later that people would have thought I was transgender and how that might have influenced me during puberty.
I don’t think the government should legislate medical or psychiatric practices, but I think that standards for open investigation and study need to be embraced by the medical and psychological/psychiatric professions.
I just disagree with you saying gender dysphoria is a natural thing in adolescence.
Most of the teens i have known are pretty happy with the changes and their gender/sex, no issues.
Regarding the comment about sissy hypno porn, actually a lot of porn addicts describe how their habits of consumption changes over time, pushing them towards increasingly more taboo and unconventional subject matters. This has to do with the changes to the brain chemistry and that the addict craves novel experiences in order to get that sense of mindless arousal.
In Gary Wilson's famous talk about what happens to the brain when watching porn he describes some users said they ended up only being able to get off to gay porn even though they were straight and didn't find men attractive. Others ended up in darker and more taboo subjects. So to me it's not surprising that sissy/hypno porn is growing. It might just appeal to some addicts who have ended up too far into the deep end of things.
This does happen when porn becomes the main thing, sometimes the only thing, you engage with to derive pleasure from life. The whole dopamine thing. *sigh* some people have too much time on their hands. Get out in the real world, learn to engage with other people in meaningful interdependent ways, do something altruistic...
@ziyan953 I was born in the 90s and when I was around 11, I was subjected to depraved porn all around right away. Took me a long time to recover. I imagine that it's even worse nowadays for someone unprepared. The real problem is that we believe that it's all ok because the general consensus is that it's safe, that everyone does it, and that we don't want to look uncool or puritan. Except that porn isn't just a naughty magazine anymore. It's an incredibly powerful and varied super stimuli.
I read 120 days of soddom as a late teen. What i got from that book was a cautionary tale in going down the road of constricting arousal ..because all the men in it are doing messed up things and all of. Them are impotent and have to like really constrict the hose pipe to get anything to spurt out if that makes sense. Then i read some tantric stuff whicch was all about the opposite...increasing the flow of pleasure and the length of pleasure andd the sensitivity to the point where somone could just touch their own nipple and have an expansive organsmic hour of bliss from it. I dont think everyone got the same thing from those same books. But thats what i got from it. And its certainly been my experience that porn gives a very frustrating burst of releif wheras something like sensuala self massage can be blissful and also emotionally expansive. Ok total strnager ive judt overshared a lot.
@ziyan95314 year old boys trapped in a womans body would be smiling ear to ear. Not going for sex surgery😂
@@Padraigp Jesus Christ xD That's actually kinda funny, thanks for the chuckle!
We need laws enacted that allow anyone that was subjected to gender treatments before the age of 18 to sue their parents, doctors, schools, hospitals, clinic, therapists or anyone else involved in the process. No statute of limitations. This will make it financially difficult to obtain insurance and put fear into these people pushing this agenda. This is the only way.
I agree.
Great guest, love how relaxed and present he is.
I do have to object to "autism is over diagnosed" comment. I used to believe this, but I learned something that changed my mind. Back in 2003, my son became a T1 diabetic. As I dove down the rabbit hole, I found out that there was a connection between autism, celiac disease (which he also dealt with), and autism. The connection between this trifecta greatly interested me.
When I saw the increase in autism rates, I was very skeptical and decided to dig into that. Knowing that there was a connection between autism and T1D, I looked at T1D rates across decades, by country. Then I compared these rates with autism. My idea was that T1D cannot be missed. If you don't diagnose it, you end up with a dead kid and it's still discovered at the autopsy. There is no 'accidentally over-diagnosing' of T1D. If there was a real trend of increasing autism, there'd be a correlating increase with T1D.
The charts between T1D and autism matched perfectly, nation by nation, over the decades, for all but third world countries where such documentation was sparse before the 1990's in some places.
Somehow our kids are being damaged badly. This has happened across all western nations and the less developed countries are on track to catch up. I don't know if it's vaccines, herbicide exposure, microplastics, an improper diet, malnutrition, outgassing of our carpets, a combination of all those things, or something else we haven't imagined; but something is very wrong.
Fascinating info; perhaps all of the factors contribute; westernism/modernism.
Have you looked into fetal ultrasound?
Yes... all of the above.... when you overload the system it will become diseased.
The first potential culprit . That’s the one. Remember the UK doctor they cancelled who reported the possible link? Over the target.
The fact that he states those that are sexually attracted to obese people, animals and amputees are also sexually attracted to the idea of THEY THEMSELVES BECOMING THOSE THINGS is mind blowing. I also have to admit I did laugh at him saying that, but man what a world we live in!
I'm into bigger girls and i fear getting fat so much I can't really eat properly if i feel i have not worked out enough that day. So maybe not everyone. Or maybe i'm repressing it.
@@johannespilvikukka6003 You have the taboo sexual reaction. Strong emotions about an attribute in yourself can make it attractive in others. Like women who fear aggression, will seek out the most aggressive males and record hypersexualised relationships, often to their detriment. Very often psychosexual and emotional development run into issues that leave adults with sexual behaviours that they find bizarre. As long as it's not harming you or others, you should manage okay
@@kylieb5213such an easy thing to say..."ad long as people aren't hurt".. yet look where we are
@@kylieb5213meanwhile I typically like bigger girls because I used to be morbidly obese and now I'm not. Could just be what you were and not what you want to be.
Yeah, this is a dumb theory. Pretty sure Mr hands didn't want to become a horse lol.
I am a legitimate transgender woman, and I've been for years now. Was I "offended" by this video? NO! The research is solid and the entire interview was fully respectful from start to finish. Truth should prevail and science isn't about taking sides. We should all agree on that.
During the pandemic there was also an epidemic of children who had sudden onset Tourettes Syndrome. I think Australia 60 min. did an episode about it. I would love to see a study that analyzes the mental health of children according to the amount of social media consumption. Although you might not be able to find any children who don't consume social media as a comparison group. It seems obvious, it's generally not great for social-emotional development.
Exactly. My daughter was adopting every mental disorder that you can find a Wikipedia article on. She pulled the “they/them” card and wanted us to call her by a different name (which I think she chose because of an animated show she enjoyed) - I didn’t just say no, I said hell no.
Reality is a thing, and adults (especially parents) are supposed to be the gatekeepers.
I am cautiously optimistic that she is growing out of this phase. And yes, all this began with the onset of puberty (which sucks for EVERYONE) plus I was in the Army Reserves and was deployed to the Middle East for a year. Oh, and at the worst possible time - during COVID 😖
It’s not rocket science. Don’t let your kids dictate reality. They WANT boundaries and they want to know that adults will keep them safe, even if they kick and scream. The minimum parenting standard is to keep your children from permanently damaging themselves.
I feel like this is close to the "looping effect" theory. When someone is being classified into a certain group, that knowledge of the concept of the classification affects the people in the group, thereby changing its classification itself. Similar to how anorexia suddenly grew in Hong Kong when it was introduced in the early 1990s, or sudden increase in the suicide rate when western version of depression was conceptualized in Japan in the late 1990s with the introduction of anti-depressants. This is merely a hypothesis that has not be fully proven, but is one of the plausible causes or one component of the causes of the mental disorders today.
You're a good Mother. ❤️
@@ifluxionI agree. Gender dysphoria has now become the "template" young ppl are using to show their mental distress. When I was young it was anorexia and then cutting and self harming became the "thing." Now its this gender stuff. I feel like this has provided a way for young ppl to package their pain in a neat, recognisable way so that doctors and parents will see it and acknowledge it, (although that's not a conscious thought process.)
I also feel that the pornification of society is a factor for girls transitioning. They want romance and boyfriends and instead see porn everywhere. Everyone is viewing it and many girls are hugely uncomfortable about what they think they will be expected to do, so they flee womanhood, or call themselves asexual or that theyre into girls.
In my day pornography was more regulated, far less was legal and effort had to be made to procure it. Adults understood that most women were not going to be as willing to do what porn stars would and would watch things that they would maybe enjoy but would not expect their wives to do.
With the advent of the Internet kids were able to access a stream of pornographic material, the "vanilla" content mixed in with really unpleasant niche material and they are too young to know what is normal and what is in fact "niche." This has led them to believe that practices like choking and violence during sex is very normal and we see that in research showing among young ppl hitting and choking during sex has risen sharply.
No wonder teenage girls are opting out.
@@littleboots9800 The latter half is an interesting theory. I never thought about it that way. It does correlate with the statistics. What I know is that men overrepresents homosexuals, bisexual, and transsexual population. If you look at the dating market, men experience far more difficulty in finding a date than women do. In many modern societies, I remember the statistics to be around 50% of men not finding a date at early twenties, 30% of women not finding a date at early twenties or something close to that. If I borrow your theory, the amount of Gender Dysphoria could be proportional to the amount of availability of dates, or lack thereof.
I believe that medical and activists want a quick fix. When in reality, any decision that is life changing should have time to mature, literally. We still side eye, quick marriages, and understand it takes time to build a relationship. The same should be done whether it's a choosing a college, a career, a plan to travel. So why is it we choose drugs first, surgery and then therapy. Any other mental illness is a long road of working a treatment.
We are creating a man made crisis. So happy we have science to back up gender disphoria. Great interview and thank you for introducing Dr. Bailey to your audience
I have a young niece (almost 14), who has struggled with some serious mental health issues (& early childhood trauma) for years. At a point prior to the pandemic, when she was about 10 and had started experiencing some symptoms of early puberty, she suddenly started sharing that she was experiencing gender dysphoria, and thought she might be a boy, started social transitioning, changed her name, etc… This happened within a school atmosphere where her peers & school counselors heavily encouraged and touted the transgender ideology (to the point where anyone identifying as trans or non-binary was celebrated).
We all listened and accepted her and what she told us (which sounded largely like parroted speech of the transgender community). This continued until the pandemic forced her to start completing her coursework at home. Then, amazingly and magically over the course of the next few years, as she grew into her female pubescent hormones in a loving home environment, removed from the social pressures she was experiencing at school, she no longer had any gender dysphoria. It’s simply gone. She describes being happy now in her female body, and says she knows who she is. We should not discount the heavy influence that social spheres have on children.
Fascinating conversation with a brilliant guest.
Great questioning from Chris.
When Michael Bailey mentioned a collaborative project with Lisa Lipman and Ken Zucker; best announcement I've heard about in so long. This will be truly fascinating.

The glamourization of victimhood is nothing new, but with the advent of social media has certainly increased. Michael Bailey is, like me, old enough to remember the 1950's game show :Queen for the Day". The woman with the most miserable story won, and was actually crowned, along with with roses, money and prizes on live national TV.
I can attest that being left handed was still being 'treated' in the UK in the early 20th century. My great uncle was left handed and teachers would tie his hand behind his back to force him to write with his right hand.

Firstly, thank you for your bravery Chris and Michael. Second, Jordan Petersen spoke about leaving kids until they were 18 to 19 and letting them decide what to do with their lives. Respect and Love.
About time you got Kelly Jay Keen on.
yes!
I have Asperger's Syndrome which they now call autism in part out of confusion. I completely agree that it is now increasingly vague and over diagnosed. I have seen many people that appear to be faking it. In particular, I have noticed among females in my personal experience some years ago that many of those claiming to have ASD or AS clearly have some other condition instead. There are two cases where it looked like BDP was a better fit. There is another case where the condition appears to be related instead to trauma. The problem with AS is that from its inception it was based on looking at kids on the boundary or in the grey area. It's a far more subtle condition than people realise and it's not even necessarily a problem in all cultures.
It depends on the social demands and social protocols. In a society that is more socially strict in particular demanding conformance to something such as the mean then suddenly people who were a bit different or that could function normally before become disabled. This subtly allows for a great deal of abuse. It's very easy to fake having AS at least in so far as being able to get through a diagnosis. Many conditions are difficult to truly diagnose without prolonged or extensive observation of it at its worst. I've always had very significant problems socially and eventually came across AS. I've checked everything else for a best fit. Other people approach this differently. It's about the type of person they want to be rather than figuring out the kind of person that they actually are. AS is seen as a cool condition to have. If someone actually had it, they would likely regret it.
I should also note that AS is in reality the least of my problems. I grew up in genuinely harsh conditions. In respect to any psychological maladies I might have picked up or have been primed for a hostile environment is the greater of contributors. I grew up in destitution in one of the worst estates in the entire country. It ended up being a failed experiment. They literally demolished the entire estate and rebuilt it. Things such as domestic violence and then a broken family exert a toll. AS isn't something that started to become obvious until I was in better circumstances. AS is so borderline, pretty much by definition that it's very rare for being unusually different to simplify it to present as a problem in and off itself or on its own. The vast amount of people going for AS diagnosis, even if they do have some difficulties that can legitimately be considered AS it's very unlikely to be that alone. AS itself was first recognised by Hans Asperger in particularly trying circumstances.
Although AS is subtle there are tells when people are faking it. I will just like any other realistic person applying their intellect question AS as well as how accurate diagnosis and definition is. When someone tells me that I'm doing something wrong because I should therefore be on the side of AS having AS and being AS then I immediately suspect that they're AS. The notion of being on team AS or something like that is highly social. That's collectivist. AS is a condition where if you were to summarise it the best you could then it would be best described as being hyper individualistic. Failing that more asocial than normal. I'll question someone else's AS diagnosis then someone will say how could I do that because they are like me and the same or something or rather such as how would I like to have my diagnosis questioned. It's all nonsense of course. By definition of AS there is no team AS.
This can easily be related to egotistical though it's a mistake to assume that they are the same. AS is more like just being yourself more than other people are. For example, I don't care as much what people think if they think wrong where are people closer to the mean tend to adhere more to the potential misjudgement or misinterpretation or miscomprehension of others. Hyper social people on the opposite end of the scale which is extremely pathological will equivocate and then blame you if they misinterpret! AS tends to consist of less regard for others who are egotistical. Most people whether they realise it or not socially function in accordance to others and in particular those who are most egotistical. A defining feature of AS is not giving a damn. If you think this throw then it becomes clear that AS is a relative condition. You can have a strict society that is petty and makes a fuss about small things. Then you have AS. You can have a liberal society that doesn't care about pointless things and in that society there is no such condition as AS. Think of it like this, in a world of light whether you have a torch or not makes no difference.
I don't understand why men don't receive the Bpd diagnosis, I've seen many emotionally unstable dudes so there's no way none of them have it. I mean, what's the ratio. I think in many cases bpd is a BS diagnosis, they much more likely have complicated issues stemming from (for example) getting bullied at school, feeling rejected by the opposite gender, having a narcissistic parent, being overprotected, not being allowed to show all kinds of emotions (including anger), poverty and alcoholism at home, d3ath in the family that was never really "discussed", misogynistic attitudes towards women from male relatives, moving from one place to another or even from one country to another (how can you remain stable when you don't know where your true home is, constantly having to adapt).. a chronically ill parent etc. I don't think it's just one thing, usually there's like a mixture of issues completely messing with the person's development... oh and of course, religious trauma.
The traits you've mentioned also apply to Schizoid Personality Disorder. Perhaps more so. Perhaps some of those diagnosed with ASD actually have SPD. I've wondered whether this is true in my case. Indeed, I began by thinking I had SPD, but was eventually told that it was ASD, which I now think is probably correct.
I also believe many young girls feel anxious and scared of about being women in this world and they might believe that "becoming male" will solve that problem. This is something I've dealt with a lot as well in my life. Thankfully I grew up in the 90s so for me it just remained as a "I wish I wasn't a woman". But nowadays kids get very different messages.
Interesting! I was born in the mid seventies in a Scandinavian country, and always felt it was easier to be a girl (like me) than to be a boy. The boys were expected to be brave and strong and do things that were risky, and they had to suppress fear, grief and sadness. I felt I was allowed to do all the same things as the boys, but without the same level of expectations (I could always play the "girl card" if I didn't want to do something that was exhausting or risky, and some male would step in and do it for me even if I was just being lazy or a "scaredy cat", and no one would blame me) - and I was more free to express feelings.
However, when I reached my late teens something shifted, and there were suddenly more expectations for me to take care of aunts, grandparents and children in the family - and I saw that the young men in the family did not face the same expectations. For them it was all about education and career, and they were much more free to just do whatever they wanted - and not take responsibility - without being blamed as "selfish".
@@mailill I think for many, myself included, it may stem from a fear of assault. I think this also depends a lot on the type of experiences one has, if one feels safe or not. I think women who lean more towards feeling unsafe might be more likely to wish they weren't women, since they may see it as a risk factor. At least that's how I have felt a lot in my life, often being afraid of assault and avoiding going out at night, avoiding many situations. Which is because of my own experiences, where I lived, what I saw and heard, things like this combined.
I do agree with what you say about males often being pressured to show less emotion, to be more brave and such. I think both genders experience challenges in their own way.
@@miraieditsYes, the fear of assault that you describe is very relatable. I still have that sometimes, unfortunately, even as a middle aged woman. Still, I guess I always had the impression that boys were not that much safer. It actually seemed to me that they were much more in danger of experiencing violence (sometimes severe) from other boys. And up to a certain age they were also much weaker than adults, and also vulnerable. That being said, I was painfully aware of my own lack of physical strength compared to boys and not to speak of grown men.
I remember training karate as a 12-year old and learning how to get away from somebody's grip, and my step brother who was the same age as me delighted in having me try out those tricks with him - and of course they never worked (even though I could do 40 push-ups on my knuckles at that time. Because even at that age he was soooooo much stronger than me (I guess he had "strong genes", as his father was a body builder, but still). When the karate instructors started to teach us how to defend ourselves against weapons, I quit, because I knew that was bs and wouldn't work.
The only thing that has ever protected me (as I am not a fast runner, and don't want to create a chase) is my ability to talk to and "befriend" and "de-escalate" aggressors (learned by dealing with semi-aggressive males, I guess). Or maybe it was just pure luck.
I've always felt it's easier to be a girl. We girls have it easy. I think some boys decide to act like girls in fear to confront the reality of what is expected of them.
Thank you for this interview Chris. I work in academia, it's captured by ideology.
It never wasn't sadly
Its good to see scientists not being pressured by ideology and doing the research needed to save future generations.
We are going to have thousands of young women in a decade with butchered bodies and living with chronic conditions. Regretting what has happened. They will need loads of help.
It will be one of the biggest medical scandals of all time.
We shouldn't let it happen to another generation.
he is not boring academic at all. this was very interesting discussion, thank you both
Im 76 and had what I consider now to have been a very healthy Childhood. I went hunting and fishing with my Dad. I learned to cook at my Grandma's side. Mom taught me to sew, and made me beautiful dresses which I wore when not in jeans and tees. I was an 'Egghead' who was always reading - when not outdoors with my Dog and other Animals.
Nobody thought I was odd (aside from my obsession with books). Puberty was a bit late - but Periods were always wonderful and I never had 'Cramps' or any problems. I got married - worked full time - got divorced - had a very good life.
I'm SO glad I grew up in a time when nobody thought I might 'really' be a Boy because I liked to climb Trees! 5 5:49 :49
"What is going to make a 14YO boy decide to put on his mother's panties and go into the bathroom and look at himself and become aroused? Nobody teaches him that!" I 100% recall a man describing online how his grandmother verbally despised him for being a boy and would dress him up in girl clothes. I don't think that man became autogynephilic himself, but it's not hard to see, given that such child abuse exists -- and that he can't be the only man who has ever experienced it, just knowing the odds -- how such abuse could lead to the disorder.
This is such an important and immediate topic. This sits at the bottom of everything disrupting society in my opinion. We cannot attempt to dismiss reality without severe and unforeseen catastrophic consequences.
Why do they never quote people who are detransing? There are many as well as very unhappy trans people who realise they made a mistake. They should be able to sue the authorities who kept it secret from their parents or agencies who removed them from their parents authority. I was a real tomboy but i knew i was a girl and am grateful this nonsense was unknown when i was growing up.
They never quote them because this is all about politics. The Democrats convince people that special interest groups need rights... If you vote for them, they will help those people get the rights. Of course the people that want the rights also vote for them. They do this with many different topics. They got gay people the rights they didn't have. I feel they needed a new group to champion so then they started trying to get transgender people rights.
Believe it or not, they are even going to eventually try to get rights for pedophiles. (This is my prediction that I called in the 80s.) Pedophiles are now saying they should be able to molest a child if the child says they are okay with it. They groom the kid so the kid goes along with it.
This may even be part of the reason they want to get kids confused about sexuality. Then they will be easier for pedophiles to make them victims.
Social contagion is what this is. Spread by social media.
This is a great video. I agree with so much of what he's said. I'm not trans but I am autistic and have a small degree of autogynephilia. I don't dress up the way this man describes but I have it internally, and I've not always been honest to people I've talked to online. For instance telling people I'm a woman with certain features when I'm actually a man. I'm not an unattractive man, but I'd still rather be a woman. I just wish people realized a LOT of men actually have some degree of this and it's absurd to think that there aren't AGPs in the trans community. There most certainly are.
Welcome to the time in history where factual evidence actually makes you wrong and gets you cancelled. Apparently your claims and opinions can only be relied upon if they are based on emotion and ideology…
Yep, Family Law Court refused to even acknowledge evidence that my child was being maltreated by her mother and the new husband; medical report, dental report, photographic evidence, recording of child making disclosures, illegally imported unprescribed unapproved medications, child psychologist report. Court refused to acknowledge that my child’s mother has had 3 Domestic Violence Orders against her. Mother bursts into tears and says she is a victim of Domestic Violence but has no evidence of this (it isn’t true!)and the Court takes story hook line and sinker. I am turned into the bad guy causing trouble for no good reason. The facts don’t fit the social narrative of the privileged white male abusing the migrant woman of Color, so the facts don’t matter. I was maltreated and punished by the Court for presenting factual evidence and ignored. She was believed and benefited because her false story based on emotion and ideology aligned with the trendy social narrative. Factual evidence gets you punished!
He is bestowed the rank of Gallileo
That is every time in history. The only thing that changes are which facts are unpopular.
Thanks for covering this subject, well done, interesting!
It's so skin deep. Be who you are don't change anything with surgery.
I think autoandrophilia is a thing that is being overlooked, I'm eagerly awaiting any studies done on this. Women are often not studied as much as men especially in psychology. I think this has a greater effect on transitioning females than we are lead to believe.
protect this man at all cost. We need him in the podcast community!
I had gender dysphoria. It is a survival mechanism from trauma. It can happen subliminally in the minds of children who unwittingly get the message that their authentic biological sex and the cultural expectations that come with it somehow threaten the attachment relationship with one or more of their caregivers. It happens when that role is at odds within a toxic family structure.
As humans we are extremely dependent on our caregivers. We are wired for attachment. Anything about ourselves that threatens that attachment will be suppressed. It’s a survival mechanism. Other mammals that can walk as soon as they’re born aren’t as dependent but we as humans can’t even crawl that early and as a result we are biologically programmed this way.
This isn’t talked about in the mainstream and therefor many kids grow up confused and bullied for it which only emboldens their false beliefs about who they are and makes them more resistant to anything contrary to the pro transition narrative.
It took me years to connect the dots in my life. The way it showed up for me (in a nutshell / can show up for different reasons in others) was by having a mother who was abused and sexually harassed so much by men that she would demonstrate that hatred in many ways such as (for example) making a big deal out of a movie scene with female nudity. Not covering my eyes like most parents might do as in I’m "not allowed to see this yet" kind of thing but instead by talking out loud about how disgusting and shameful men are for wanting to see this and having a total meltdown over it. Which is understandable given her life experiences but yet very toxic to me her son. I’m not blaming her. How could she have known?
I then (key word) subliminally started associating being a man with something that would threaten my relationship with the most important person in my life and had no idea why it was happening to me. When I heard trans people talk about their experiences with gender dysphoria for the first time and many times after, I was shocked at how similar they clearly felt to me. I started dressing and acting more and more androgynously as it became more and more apparent that I was becoming a man. I rejected it with everything I had and suffered the consequences of ruthless bullying in which only made me even more militant about my lgbt identity.
Now that I know the truth, I am so glad I never took hormones or did anything drastic or life ruining to myself. Now I am a confident adult man who continues to do the trauma work that has helped me virtually eradicate this problem.
I find it very sad to see how many people are lead down the wrong path, especially these days, and even more sad that I have been labeled as transphobic for speaking out about what I have learned from my experience.
I would even venture to say that these experiences were huge reasons why my romantic and sexual attractions developed in the way that they did. I don’t think there is any gene responsible for this. It’s totally a trauma based toxic social environment kind of thing that manifests these issues as made more evident by the many stories I have listened to from others. Much of that toxicity having been so normalized to the person that they don’t even realize what has actually happened to them. So when you hear someone say, "well I had no trauma, why am I trans". All you need to do is have someone who knows what kind of questions to ask them, and the truth always comes out.
You mean it was for you.
I wasn't abused.
@@amandavieira2543 You don't have to be abused in some very obvious way to be traumatized. It doesn't take much for a child to disconnect from themselves in various different ways to survive their childhood. You probably read the first sentence of my post and saw the word "trauma" and immediately assumed you knew what I was even talking about.
@@chadmichael_ funny because I was treated badly for everyone for being trans, not the opposite.
But, believe what you want, believing is not knowledge.
@@amandavieira2543 I’m talking about the before you became at odds with your biological sex. Not the being bullied part after. Im talking about the societal, cultural, and environmental circumstances that caused you to be at odds in the first place.
Oh and it isn’t a “belief” to know that we are a byproduct of our environment.
@@chadmichael_ before i became at odds? So like 4 years old then.
