This person is very damaged and I don't believe most of what was said. What concerns me most is the confused impressionable young people who will be taken in by this nonsense and attention seeking pathological individual. IMHO and SMH
You're clearly very bright. It amused me that you thought you were having a heart attack when you brushed the hand ( a bit slow on the uptake as we say) ;P I still question the notion of the immorality of the transgender movement, even though I have not direct involvement in the argument as it were. I also question Israel's continuation of killing and displacement of local Palestinian people which is still happening. Don't go too far the other way. I don't hate Jews but I do resent the continued incivility of the Israeli state and that surely means behaving obligingly towards international law and social mores, mores that were created in no small part as a result of the holocaust. There is inhumanity on both sides.
“I am not a pathology.” And “…a medical system that exists to turn healthy people into lifelong medical patients, this can only exist in rich countries…” Powerful words and true words that NEED to be spoken!
I’ve heard it referred to as a “luxury belief.” People fighting daily for simple survival in much of the world don’t t sit around and ponder their gender identity or intersectionality or other things.
@@javaskull88 Nonsense that are not related to enduring externally caused issues. People that are going through rough patches in life work hard to focus on surviving issues caused by external factors that affect their physical and mental well-being, these people are just giving themselves problems through their own mind.
no clickbait, this story is actually WOWING. what a brilliant person... I'm not even exaggerating, Maia's story needs to become a movie. not only did she experience some of the most outlandish situations I've ever heard of in such a consentrated amount of time, but also - her story is in so many aspects the quintessential eye-opener of our time. and it seems that she really took the time to wrestle with all of these different ideas and analyse them all the way to the oher end of them, to be able to explain them so eloquently. I'm so glad you gave her story a platform! I love that you could tell her message was very different from the rest. I'd love to hear more of the layers of everything she's seen and been through. what a tale...
Just listened to the podcast. I’m so impressed - you are as articulate as you are incredibly mature. (I was a baby at 25 and haven’t developed much more at 50!) You’ve been through so much yet manage to express it in such an open, thoughtful and non-accusatory way - I would be *much* harsher on your lefty “friends” - proper schmendriks - while you are a true mensch. I hope that you can heal from all you have been through and are keeping safe. All power to you ❤
@@theresefrazerlike life saving cancer surgeries? Those are not a priority and in fact are a burden to the NHS. Transition surgeries and migrant care are the main priority! If you are sick for any other motive, kindly go back to work and keep paying taxes to support _our_ NHS.
Oh so your shitty claim is that you can commit genocide as long as you can prove ppl are homophobic? Welcome to the world of a dummies guide to morality
Why?? Don’t you know that Israel uses the whole gay stuff as a weapon ?? They don’t marry gays But they accept them so they can serve their army and also act like a fake propaganda of the fake only democracy of the Middle East .
I appreciate Maia coming on. Detransing without taking on a hyper-feminine style is something we need to see alongside the women who do adopt the feminine style. You can be a female and like other females. You can dress like a guy. You don't have to become a trans man to do these things.
When I was younger this was common knowledge, we used to have the saying "cross-dressing is something only males can do", had we abolished these gendered expectations altogether then we wouldn't have been stuck with gender ideology.
War sharpened her focus and made her realise the insanity of destroying a perfectly healthy human body, that the vast majority of the human population struggle to maintain in the best of circumstances
I remember as a small child my mum who had seen horrific injuries and death working as an ICU nurse would say to me in exasperation: look at you! You have two perfect hands, two perfect eyes, everything inside you works perfectly, stop what you are doing (being naughty) and appreciate what you've got. Since then I've lived and worked in a couple of third world countries and have noticed the higher incidence of people carrying obvious infirmities. Often with great bravery and fortitude. Soon I'll be going back to a place currently involved in a shooting war. I grew up in the bush, I've seen the reality of what a high velocity slug does to living flesh and bone. You are absolutely spot on: the population of the first world has become utterly disconnected from the realities of life as it was lived up until recently (and still is by the majority of humanity).
@@_pawternot even just a disconnect from the reality of life before, but a disconnect from their own bodies and reality. Like people who risk BBLs and colored eyecontact surgery.
So happy this serendipitously came across my feed - I spent a wonderful evening with Maia who I met at random in Jerusalem last Sept ('23) during my travels through Israel at the bar and great gay bar in Jerusalem talking for hours - listening to music on the main street and getting the best street food, talking about the world and philosophy, politics (me coming from New Zealand) and everything in between. Maia speaks multiple languages and sings really well - wonderful to see this interview ❤❤❤ - Shanon (NZ)
Hey Shanon you're one of 2 people I've ever seen with their name spelled exactly like mine. Also, what a great tie-in to the story. -Shanon, Indiana USA.
It's so interesting when she talks about people in the Middle East assuming she was male based purely on her clothing, instead of her physical appearance. During the American Civil War, a number of women disguised themselves as men so they could enlist and fight. It always seemed improbable that they could pass themselves off as men just by cutting their hair and wearing a uniform. The explanation I usually heard was, "Well, back then, most people had never seen a woman in trousers, so they didn't question it." After listening to Maia, that makes so much more sense.
@@pl574 the movie little big man comes to mind. The scene where the orphan girl disguises herself as a boy so she won't be raped by the Indians. They ,however, were not fooled.
I think it has alot to do with traditional principles of religion and the importance of their garments. She kind of left out how important their cultural norms are because they're based on Judaism. Same with the Muslims. Both being pretty strict.
autistic - taking the word “crush” literally and habituating/obsessively into learning and researching medical issues (a chosen favorite activity of this person) as well as not understanding social norms/cues are hallmarks.
She seems rather autistic to me, what some of us call Aspie (very high functioning cognitively) - with some social deficit (not understanding what was meant by having a crush). When I first learned about genderism and took a deep dive into it, I started to feel alarm for my gay and lesbian and Aspie friends (I am undiagnosed but believe myself to be Aspie); and relief that none of this genderism woo was being taught when we were kids. Maia is one of the best public voices against the genderism ideology because she has such an amazing intellect and exacting vocabulary.
Social and logical intelligence are two different things. It sounds as though she might be on the autism spectrum, which often presents as limitation to comprehend human inner and emotional realities and therefore the vastly complex human social rules and use of language.Her brain seems to have failed to analyze the poetic and emotional connotations of the description "have a crush on someone" and reflect them to social contexts. She nevertheless seems a person of exceptionally high logical and conseptual IQ and vocabulary.
We came under indirect fire (mortars) in camp in Afghanistan one time and I crawled under a vehicle for cover. I had a very clear though - “fuck this fuck this fuck this”
@@lolalouise9503 Maybe something like: Imagine being constantly disgusted about your body but suddenly you found yourself in a situation in wich you are grateful that is working well and it is actually healthy. In that moment she could separate her ideology about her own body and see it for what it actuallly is and what is suppose to do and mean. I guess it was a freeing momment, a momment of clarity also.
I was on testosteron for almost 2 years but I stopped it because I don't want to be a patient for life. I came to the conclusion that I can be masculine and gay without being on medicine
WOW! WOW! WOW! Maia, as an Israeli Jew I can't find the words to respond to this interview. I'm now done sobbing and the only thought in my mind is this: Your story needs to be a movie. Thank you! ❤
Absolutely *brilliant* Andrew. While not Jewish, I am a year younger than Maia and can identify with a lot of Maia’s experiences as far as being a university student in the West goes. Maia is very brave, honest and articulate. I hope to see more of her.
I can't believe anyone who is clearly bright could have been that naive to not realise she was experiencing a crush. This seems really rehearsed like she's reading from a story.
Maia is impressive. At the end of the interview she commented on admiring her mother so much as she is very smart and intuitive. Maia got some of her DNA! Not many 25 year old have the awareness, critical thinking and oral communication skills that Maia has. I hope far more people watch this video and follow her other social media accounts. Thank you Andrew. You do an excellent job on this heretics channel. Great idea.
its highly likely that adoration caused the seed of homophilic tendancy especially in combination of wanting to advocate and protect. A smart person could research things beyond webMD and requiring firsthand experience to gain understanding-smart people adopt 3rd person learning and avoid the whole mess. An intuitive person would get social nuance of what 'crush' means. This is impressive in the PR speak that genZ has grown up (with the internet) pushing exaggerated speech patterns that fill time with repetitive definitions and increase word count that sounds polished without adding anything extra to plot. That, shes very good with. And i do hope she gets and keeps a platform that can advocate to prevent others from following this path. But then again, even if someone like her existed at the time she was little...she would not have had the skills to find and learn from them second hand.
I love Maia. She's right. Gays are just never safe. We're either too queer for people who hate queerness, or we're not "queer and inclusive" enough for these ideologues. I'm gay, I'm only attracted to men, and I don't want to sleep with transmasculine people because I know they aren't men and that they are actually medically masculinized women, but I'm not allowed to say that since the major social narrative is that they ARE men, regardless of their true biology. Men are only the natural thing and I won't accept a substitute, but I'll get attacked if I refuse them for this reason. It is just never okay to be gay.
Look im a gay trans man with a cis male partner, the issue that comes up between some gay people and some trans people is no trans person takes issue with "i dont wanna date trans men" its the "they arent men" bit that gets people up in arms. Plus its also just kinda weird to announce your sexual preferance both me and my partner are masc4masc gays, but if we went around saying i dont date or sleep with twink becquse they are too fem for me people would think thats equally as weird to announce. Its just announcing your sexual perferance that people find weird. My issue is that some LGB people qre okay dating/sleepimg with trans people but some people online who share your viewpoint decided they know my partners sexuality better and say hes bi despite the fact hes a completely homosexual man. Both sides can exist, you can be gay and not date trans people and you can be gay and date trans people.
@@Sl1mch1ckensFor the love of Pete! You two are a straight couple, not a gay couple. Undoubtedly you are queered, but you are a woman and he is a man. Anything other than that is simply a lie that you've bought in order to fit in or feel brave or whatever other nonsense psychological need it fulfills. It's really sad that you feel it is not ok to be who you are.
To be fair, it is not considered acceptable to be straight or male or female any more, which is why people do all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid being such an awful thing...like say they are a trans man dating a gay cis man and saying they are in a homosexual relationship. That just blows my mind! No, sweety, you are a straight woman dating a straight man. The need for the charade is astounding. No one pretends not to be gay. They do pretend they are. That tells you that it is preferable, not the victim.
AMAZING. Absolutely f*cking amazing. You dropped A BOMB.. the finale, the message, especially for western parents, to educate children for the wild world outside so they stand up for themselves, they think straightforward, not depending individuals, forever patients and needy toddlers, but individuals able to use their own special traits (like neurodivergent) to thrive being themselves. Maya is indeed one of the most intelligent person i had the pleasure to listen to... a brighi star.. she really inspired me. Thank you so so much, eretics... i just hope this video doesnt get censored!!
She's an amazing & dropping a bomb, a finale... really? This is her own experience, it in no way implies anything except her. I am glad she had it & figured things out but no, it's no bomb of real information. From her standpoint there are no transsexuals, no one suffers from dysphoria. She did not experience dysphoria, she experienced her body & ppl assuming she was a younger male. It in no way is the same. Transsexuals experience this as well yet it doesn't stop. I know because I'm a female combat veteran. I do support detransitioners but w the pressure online to stay relevant some only make statements based on them alone. They completely get the affirmation part, which is great, but go from there blindly as if no one else could have a differing life.
Thank you Andrew and Maia, 2 of my favorite Jewish people, from a Jewish fan. Amazing- Andrew you are the BEST listener and interviewer, you don’t interrupt, you ask good questions, you really listen, you choose thoughtful people. Maia you are so refreshingly honest, brave and unique, I’m so so sad and sorry you lost friends murdered by Hamas, I’m so glad you survived antisemitic Islamic terrorism, and all the rest you have survived. I’m so glad that today you are free in your body and life. ❤️🩹🇮🇱❤️✡️🙏🏼🤲
I love how half this story is just a gay coming out story. 12 year old girl is baffled by fluttery feeling for girls, and hasn't the foggiest notion what they are. Reminds me of a lot of books I've read where budding sexuality was just met with innocent confusion. That's how story and TV used to portray childhood. From the perspective of actual kids. Nowadays romance - even in kids shows - seems to be written from the perspective of adults. Where you instantly call it a crush, love, being in love, being boy or girl crazy. It didn't used to be like that. Our view as a society of what "sexual awakening" is has been so warped. It's supposed to be innocent and gradual. It's not supposed to be so...weaponized. Politicized. So immediately sexualized. I truely think kids these days are being preyed upon by society. It took me until I was 19 to accept being gay. I needed that time to decide for myself, learn for myself, that's what I was. Having millions of people defining you for you is uncomfortable and crazymaking. Brainwashing. Some of her experience could be from the autistic perspective. She comes across like that. Reminds me of the 90's quintessential lesbian. Well spoken, dresses like Matt Smith's Dr. Who, befriends boys as a child instead of girls and gets along with them better. Really lovely and intellectual she is, truely. Then the rest of the interview is a window into modern life and culture I've never heard about before. I've never been out of the country. I don't think I can comprehend a war zone. Or even a culture that's so "homosocial" as she coins it. And losing friends to such horror. I think most Americans will never understand. I remember reading Persepolis as a child and it being my first look at real life, non fiction, in a similiar vein. Where growing up in a different culture (and a different country) makes all the difference. Maia learned a lot, willingly, from her time abroad. It's an incredible story.
I had to laugh at that because (and this is definitely showing my age), there's a song from 40+ years ago called, "You're Just In Love." It's about a young woman thinking there is something seriously physically wrong with her so she goes to see a doctor... And is told what feels like a medical emergency is really just her being in love for the first time. Exactly what's at the beginning of this video.
Reminds me of myself as a female teenager. I was a tomboy, even asked my Mum when I was in primary school why I wasn’t a boy. Their lives looked easier to me then. I rarely wore dresses and skirts. I got on really well with the boys and this is the same today at 59 years old. So many women don’t love themselves and see other confident women as threats or they’re jealous or something I don’t really know, I’m presuming as I felt those feelings in high school and decided that I didn’t want to be like that. I can’t believe that women like that haven’t changed from high school. Anyway what I really wanted to say is thank God I was born in the 60s and I could simply be a child without my primary school teacher offering me a binder…….shocking! This is all so wrong nothing should be touched until the child is a legal adult, full stop! The support should be there, of course but hormones, surgery and one way encouragement to trans physically should not be entertained until adulthood and even then is 18 ok?
What a remarkable young person! I hung on every word of this interview even though I'm an 80 year old grandmother and am at times very confused and distressed at the way the world is going. Thank you to both you and your interviewee.
Ok I finally understand the Islam-left alliance from the part at 51:00 where she talks about jihadis wanting to eliminate borders and all sense of individual states to expand their belief…leftists also want globalism and open borders.
@@alihenderson5910 I wonder if there's some sort of historical precedent regarding what happens when the alliance isn't in both parties' interest anymore (spoiler: there is and I'm 100% sure you'll guess the outcome right).
“There are schools now that are giving young girls binders.” - Nowhere near a strong enough statement, unfortunately. I’d go so far as to say that at the present moment every school in the country with a significant female population will have some girls who are binding and a number of safeguarding staff who are aware of it. It’s everywhere.
Amazing how we went from discussing how barbaric & physically damaging the corseting trend of the past was to handing out binders to children as "health care". Also strange how the popular movement to ban FGM to "protect girls rights" pretty much vanished over the past 10+ yrs, as the same activist types now fight to *allow* girls bodies to be cut, again to "protect rights"
This is an absolutely important interview which has enabled an old person like me to better understand what is going on in the psyche of many younger people, particularly gen zed which I suppose Maia is part of (correct me if I am wrong). I was riveted from start to finish and I would like to thank you Andrew for doing this interview and Maia for being so intelligent, courageous and honest. It's a wonderful story finally because it is learning how to find yourself in an increasingly toxic social media world. Of course at the same time it raises the vital question of where we are going with social media and its concomitant lies and magical thinking. We seem to be going head-on into chaos, but I guess that if we don't destroy our planet, our sacred values, some sort of order will eventually arise out of this psychotic virus. Thank you Andrew and thank you Maia from the heart. PS Wonderful to have an interviewer who doesn't keep interrupting the guest.
She is obviously quite bright but the greater the intellect, the greater the capacity for self deception. Absolutely fascinating story. Thank you for sharing it.
The phrase "there is none so blind as those who will not see" jumped into my mind when Mia spoke of living as a man in Israel and Palestine. I'm glad Mia had strong parents who insisted that she didn't medicalise her change but allowed her to grow and discover that she's a woman. I hope God keeps protecting her.✡️✝️✡️✝️✡️✝️✡️
Or that she wasn't enabled by schools, psychologists, social services, peer pressure, media, state laws and Dept of Ed regulations that would push her into it. In Calif and Washington state, children have been removed from parents who won't affirm transgender ideology. Oregon has enthusiastic surgeons who are happy to remove teen girls breasts at 16, which may have already been lowered to 15 by law as their right. Permanent mutilation and medication allowed with no regard for her health, her future or her right to adult pleasure and procreation. Young people are openly lied to about the consequences of medication and even horrific genital removal. It's Nazi experimentation all over again.
Whoa. What a rollercoaster. I agree with what Dr Miriam Grossman said when she empathized that there are so many different ways of being a woman/ man. I‘m glad Maia is finding her way even if it has been so drastic. I have a friend who lives in Israel and have been there. It’s been enlightening getting another viewpoint to life there. Thank you so much and all the best.
Girl's life story is like a modern day culture war hero origin story or something. Dunno how to describe it. Hope she does well , I doubt there are many more people who have had such a varied view and perspective to look at modern issues from.
I'm a Kenyan immigrant, naturalized US citizen (technically a dual citizen) and both my children are going to uni abroad (either back home in Kenya, or Italy, Germany or India)- I do NOT trust American colleges and universities. They're quickly becoming indoctrination camps producing little brainwashed wannabe commies who have no idea what reality is.
Really interesting conversation. Maia, you are a wonderful communicator. I hope many get to hear your story. Wishing you all the best going forward. My prayers are always with Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem.
@msfy-q4w I do not have to agree with her lifestyle choices to appreciate her honesty and willingness to share. The LORD gave us free will, I am not the judge, HE is.
A lot of these situations could be stopped if young autistic people were taught how their autism affects them, research is showing that autistic females' brains are more wired in a male way and vice-versa, they are much more likely to be gay or bi-sexual and they won't feel that they can relate to the neurotypical gender binaries because they aren't neurotypical. The average life expectancy in the UK for an autistic person is 38 in part due to the co-occurring condition of epilepsy but a lot of people end their own lives. This suicidality is being used to medicalise young autistic people instead of people doing the work to make the world less traumatising and more inclusive for them, it makes me sick.
Maia is a compelling and astute observer of the warped identity politics that have eroded our young sprouting beautiful citizens into masses of obsessed and ill prepared children - - The fact that she endured through such a tragic and disruptive scary time in Israel during the Hamas atrocities and used that experience to wake up to her inherent wholeness as HERSELF is really amazing. I am sorry her journey of discovery and new experience seeking in the middle east as a foreign student ended at such a traumatic dive into warfare and survival guilt. She is an interesting and sincere speaker and I much appreciated Andrews Interview With Her. May The Light Of Reason and Warmth Of Love Always Shine - May That Glow Be Spread Over the World. I pray for Maia's Continued Strength of Spirit and Healing As She Continues to SHARE and BE HEARD.
One of the best interviews I've seen on this topic. Very grateful to interviewer and interviewee. It's mind bogglingly frustrating that so many young kids have been swept up in total ideological madness that centres around scourging their bodies.
So articulate and well spoken. These are the kinds of genuinely good people hidden amongst the vocal majority. And as demonstrated, inquisitive and honest enough to recognise and dissolve her own delusions.
Wow! what a brilliant, articulate speaker she is. Andrew your interviews are just phenomenal, thank you for bringing us this kind of content - it gives me hope!!
Absolutely brilliant interview - exceptional and fascinating guest! Thanks for having her on, Andrew - and thanks for sharing your story and insights, Maia.
Wow Maia... Your story is so special. You brought me to tears with the story of not wearing your binder for the first time in years because you were running from rockets... And apreciating your natural body for it. And the understanding that making yourself into a medical patient voluntarily is only relevant in an incredibly priveleged, and honestly- bored, society. Keep telling your truth! it is so important to hear.
I’m only two minutes in and can tell this lovely person is on the spectrum. How absolutely devastating that we’ve allowed our most vulnerable children to be devoured by an ideology that deliberately preys on intellectually complex children.
No offence intended but I think there is much about "the autism spectrum" concept that stems from a whole other set of misguided ideology. Maia is clearly an incredibly intelligent, articulate and capable woman. I think it speaks volumes when a society invents constructs to categorise humans according to how well they do or don't fit within the framework of behaviour and thinking that we've been programmed to accept as normal. Maia certainly exhibits uncommon intellect and nature. I don't see that this has made her vulnerable. Seems very gifted and capable to me.
@@Julia_Jane_Jesus I said why I said because I am autistic with a high IQ and recognize the symptoms I have in others like me. There is nothing wrong or bad about being autistic, we just perceive and interact a little differently. It’s ok to talk about it when we see it.
Listening to Maia speak about how men in the Middle East "believed that she was male"- something important seems to be missing in that telling. I think she's missing an element of human nature- we pity the unfortunate among us. These men probably looked at this "boy" with small hands, an effeminate voice, a round body and felt pity/ embarrassment for him. She didn't pass as a normal, healthy man so much as the men were really compassionate towards what they probably considered to be a defective boy. I can't see trans identified females surviving in a secular culture among masculine men.
What a fascinating interview! Maia's experiences are astonishing. Please tell me she is writing a book. That would be an amazing read. Much appreciation for having her on. Mahalo! 🤙🤓
"An insecure teen-aged girl......". That's the problem with adolescents transitioning-----ALL adolescents are insecure. Their insecurities could easily lead them to think that they have gender dysphoria, when they are simply going through a typical adolescence identity crisis.
"I owe it to myself to maintain the intactness of my body in order to survive what ever chaos life throws at me. War is a perfect example of the type of chaos you need to have a healthy body and a healthy mind in order to withstand it and not be dependent on pharmaceutical industries..." Exactly why providing trans surgeries for military personnel is ridiculous.
Thank you for this insightful interview. I have a paediatric nursing background. And have always felt that the whole trans issue comply undermines the few unfortunate individuals that are truly born intersex who need our empathy and understanding. I am totally with Professor Sir Robert Winston in that you cannot change your sex and like it or not XX =female and XY =male. Most of gender confusion can be the result of autism and homosexuality. I was especially interested as I lived and worked in the Middle East where the hatred is often palpable. People without that lived experience have absolutely no idea what they are talking about., especially queers for Palestine who make complete fools of themselves. Thank you so much Maia for being brave enough to share your experience. God bless you.
Not gonna lie - I was surprised at the intelligence, use of vocabulary, and overall ability to communicate an idea. A high quality individual. At 19, I had not matured this far. Intelligent, reasonable, critical thinker, down to earth - this interviewee is the complete opposite of that British soccer player that was all: "DEI is good" whilst simultaneously arguing "DEI doesn't exist". That was utterly infuriating. Refreshing! thankyou.
in my experience people call just questioning jews/israel in ANY capacity anti-semitic when it is coming from the right. Like for example pointing out that many of the 'great' thinkers whose ideologies have managed to destroy the west are jewish, i fail to see the hate in noticing that.
Well, Israel is pretty traditional. High marriage rates, and people try to protect their children. Lefties don't have children as much, and love to abuse kids, ie steralizing kids, or like Vaush defending CP. Right wingers think Israel has a right to defend themselves, lefties think Jewish people should allow muslims to murder them and kill their kids. It's why the left cheered Hamas raping and killing women in the Oct attack, while the right was against it.
Yeah, right wingers get labeled "mid-century Germans" if they are simply not big fans of Jews or Israel. And I've known quite a few that I'd describe as being "A bit skeptical of Jewish loyalties." But except for one, who I think was a literal Klan member, it's not something they talk about a lot and it's certainly not a big part of their identity. But leftists can be raging antisemites who do make Jew hating part of their identity, and yet someone the conservative who doesn't think we should be blindly supporting and sending billions to Israel is the real problem.
@@ressljs Personally, I don't mind sending aid to Israel. After all, we send aid to just about everybody, right? At least Israel is a beacon of freedom and enlightenment in the eternal dark age that is the ME.
@@Jianju69 I know I sounded like I was describing myself, but not exactly. I am loosely pro-Israel. I think they've been a good ally, and if I somehow found myself in the middle east, I hope it would be Israel, because I'm one of the people that might get chucked off a building. So I'm OK with aid, especially when there's mutual benefits. Still, it takes me aback how limitless our support to Israel is, and not allowed to ask if the current leadership is really acting in their nation's best interest (much less our own). But as a middle aged, white conservative, if I'm not careful how I say that, people jump to assuming I'm saying "(Very bad German Man) was right!" I've got friends who are "No aid to Israel!" Doesn't mean they hate those Jews or wants to see them destroyed, they just don't think it's our job to foot the bill. And they seem consistent because they say the same thing about Ukraine.
Douglas Murray would love this story if he’s doesn’t know of Maia already. That was exactly his advice too, in his interview with The Free Press - go to Israel! Thank you Andrew ❤️
@@MaiaPoet A friendly hint: find a way to contact Karlyn Borishenko, she knows and understands queer and abolish gender and the be gay do crime stuff... She is onto something, trust me...an anonimous person on the net ;)
I have another candidate for your favorite heretic. Mosab Yousef is the first-born son of a founder of Hamas. th-cam.com/video/UPomqJz-qYc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CpY_G0evsVKd_vgO
Maia, you are so brave and heroic. What you said about how Hamas hurts civilians is so powerful! Thank you for your perspective and your peace activism. Bless you!
Maia, idk if this is something you need to hear or if you'll even see this. You mentioned that sometimes people tell you that God was watching out for you on October 7th, but that just brings up distress over if He was watching out for your friends or not. As a religious person, I believe that when God intervenes in situations like yours, it isn't because one person is good and one person isn't it's because someone has things that still need to be accomplished. And it might not have even been that. We have free will. Maybe your sober driver backing out was God intervening, and maybe that was just your friend choosing to back out. Either way, I think you are using your voice in a great way and doing a really good thing.
She seems like a great human. In an AU we’d probably be friends 🥲 It takes a lot of courage and honesty to come clean about what you get up to when you’re young and naive and especially to go against such a prominent and pervasive ideology. I enjoyed the way she spoke about broader concepts surrounding gender and our understanding of it and if she made video essays about that sorta thing I’d 100% be in the audience.
Maya, I hope that you will heal from the traumatic experiences you went through. I also hope that you will write a book about all the experiences! You've been through the most crazy mix one can possibly imagine!
oh bless you maia. i'm an israeli jew and it warms my heart so much to hear you speak. you're so well rounded, intelligent and ellocuent about all of it, and it makes me feel less alone in the crazy times we're going through. this is, as you know, a hard time to be an israeli liberal. one can be a peace activist and queer rights supporter with actual experience in war and palestinian friends, and still be considered a hateful bigot by people who have zero experience with such situations. I really hope you'll gain much more exposure on social media, you make so much sense. btw it's really sad that your friends cut you off. I get it if people who directly have skin in the conflict need space from people with the opposite opinion for a while, but activists from the west? that's nonsense, honestly. much love to you. you are great and we should all just explore more what it means to be human in our bodies rather than trying to fit into a box ❤
2011 is when Maia said she first heard about transitioning. Terrible that so many multiple governments haven't put a stop to it. Yes, trans health has been, at its very best, a waste of medical resources.
Excellent interview with such an articulate guest. A pleasure to hear these emotive and nuanced subjects discussed with such thought, experience and clarity.
Wow! What a thoughtful interview and a well spoken, great thinker in Maia. Maia, Thank you for accepting your womanhood, your homosexuality and your Judaism. You are an inspiration and hopefully a deterrent to some susceptible adolescents- especially girls 🙏
Absolutely riveting Interview. Maia is a one off. Highly intelligent, articulate, brave. Well done Andrew for introducing us to her. Now I'd like to hear from her mum who did such a great job in helping her adolescent daughter navigate the pressures of the trans ideology without surgical intervention.

Are you ignoramus on Yinon Plan of Israeli government ?
This is most outrageous outrage sale you've done yet. Get a real job and contribute to society.
This person is very damaged and I don't believe most of what was said. What concerns me most is the confused impressionable young people who will be taken in by this nonsense and attention seeking pathological individual. IMHO and SMH
You're clearly very bright. It amused me that you thought you were having a heart attack when you brushed the hand ( a bit slow on the uptake as we say) ;P
I still question the notion of the immorality of the transgender movement, even though I have not direct involvement in the argument as it were. I also question Israel's continuation of killing and displacement of local Palestinian people which is still happening. Don't go too far the other way. I don't hate Jews but I do resent the continued incivility of the Israeli state and that surely means behaving obligingly towards international law and social mores, mores that were created in no small part as a result of the holocaust. There is inhumanity on both sides.
Really, Andrew? 🤦 No words for the naivety of this individual.
the saddest part about this interview? is that those who really need to hear it, won't.
Don’t loose hope
I hope everyone sees it who needs to see it. Let’s keep commenting to push it in the algorithm
@@MaiaPoetWho knows how many lives you're saving. Thank you 🙏🏻
Who exactly are you talking about?
Or they might listen but not hear what she said. Some people are not teachable.
“I am not a pathology.” And “…a medical system that exists to turn healthy people into lifelong medical patients, this can only exist in rich countries…” Powerful words and true words that NEED to be spoken!
I’ve heard it referred to as a “luxury belief.” People fighting daily for simple survival in much of the world don’t t sit around and ponder their gender identity or intersectionality or other things.
AND once you are a lifelong medical patient, you are a lifelong dependent.
@@javaskull88 And yet, people in these so called “rich countries “ are fighting for their survival from the clutches of Big Pharma!
@@javaskull88 Nonsense that are not related to enduring externally caused issues. People that are going through rough patches in life work hard to focus on surviving issues caused by external factors that affect their physical and mental well-being, these people are just giving themselves problems through their own mind.
no clickbait, this story is actually WOWING.
what a brilliant person... I'm not even exaggerating, Maia's story needs to become a movie. not only did she experience some of the most outlandish situations I've ever heard of in such a consentrated amount of time, but also - her story is in so many aspects the quintessential eye-opener of our time. and it seems that she really took the time to wrestle with all of these different ideas and analyse them all the way to the oher end of them, to be able to explain them so eloquently.
I'm so glad you gave her story a platform! I love that you could tell her message was very different from the rest. I'd love to hear more of the layers of everything she's seen and been through. what a tale...
This is fabricated for a grift, literally none of this is real.
that's a great idea! Yes a movie would be very powerful.....
Instead we got Elliot pages trans movie and will Ferrals trans movie 😂😂
She also ruined her looks and turned into a James Levine lookalike with a juvenile boy voice.
It’s Maia from the interview! I really enjoyed doing this one with Andrew, who is a spectacular interviewer.
I hope you all enjoy it too.
Oh Maia can’t wait for this interview ❤
Just listened to the podcast. I’m so impressed - you are as articulate as you are incredibly mature. (I was a baby at 25 and haven’t developed much more at 50!) You’ve been through so much yet manage to express it in such an open, thoughtful and non-accusatory way - I would be *much* harsher on your lefty “friends” - proper schmendriks - while you are a true mensch. I hope that you can heal from all you have been through and are keeping safe. All power to you ❤
@@jointlikethisthank you for this kind comment! Which interview did you watch?
Well done for speaking out.
@@wolfhugs2221 thank you!
“It can only exist in countries where there is this thriving, first world, techno- medical complex”
Well put
A well-oiled machinery of technocracy manufacturing doctors who identify as butchers
Even then it’s getting harder to get medical care…
A friend of mine once said that trans-people have the right to exist. I then told him that 60 years ago, they couldn't exist.
@@theresefrazerlike life saving cancer surgeries? Those are not a priority and in fact are a burden to the NHS. Transition surgeries and migrant care are the main priority! If you are sick for any other motive, kindly go back to work and keep paying taxes to support _our_ NHS.
First world problem, when you believe you're born in the wrong body.
This should be mandatory viewing for every Queers for Palestine, trans, or anti-Israel activist
Gays for Gaza
Oh so your shitty claim is that you can commit genocide as long as you can prove ppl are homophobic? Welcome to the world of a dummies guide to morality
Because someone doesn't like you that justifies the killing of their entire race?
Why??
Don’t you know that Israel uses the whole gay stuff as a weapon ??
They don’t marry gays
But they accept them so they can serve their army and also act like a fake propaganda of the fake only democracy of the Middle East .
im proudly anti israel - the victims of decades ago are now the perpetrators - and im just watching now. im also anti TQIAplus
I appreciate Maia coming on.
Detransing without taking on a hyper-feminine style is something we need to see alongside the women who do adopt the feminine style.
You can be a female and like other females.
You can dress like a guy.
You don't have to become a trans man to do these things.
Hopefully other young women who have transitioned and are considering stopping it, will see me and know they have options
When I was younger this was common knowledge, we used to have the saying "cross-dressing is something only males can do", had we abolished these gendered expectations altogether then we wouldn't have been stuck with gender ideology.
Yes yes yes.
Save the Tom boy!
We don't need to see anything. Either way, it doesn't matter, they are women.
War sharpened her focus and made her realise the insanity of destroying a perfectly healthy human body, that the vast majority of the human population struggle to maintain in the best of circumstances
I remember as a small child my mum who had seen horrific injuries and death working as an ICU nurse would say to me in exasperation: look at you! You have two perfect hands, two perfect eyes, everything inside you works perfectly, stop what you are doing (being naughty) and appreciate what you've got.
Since then I've lived and worked in a couple of third world countries and have noticed the higher incidence of people carrying obvious infirmities. Often with great bravery and fortitude. Soon I'll be going back to a place currently involved in a shooting war. I grew up in the bush, I've seen the reality of what a high velocity slug does to living flesh and bone.
You are absolutely spot on: the population of the first world has become utterly disconnected from the realities of life as it was lived up until recently (and still is by the majority of humanity).
@@_pawternot even just a disconnect from the reality of life before, but a disconnect from their own bodies and reality. Like people who risk BBLs and colored eyecontact surgery.
That’s why there aren’t a lot of kids with this delusion in Israel. What she described as “ odd sensations” are just perfectly normal hormones.
Her reprobate mind had corrupted her morality of truth being that her life is deception.
What about her destroying Israel !??
So happy this serendipitously came across my feed - I spent a wonderful evening with Maia who I met at random in Jerusalem last Sept ('23) during my travels through Israel at the bar and great gay bar in Jerusalem talking for hours - listening to music on the main street and getting the best street food, talking about the world and philosophy, politics (me coming from New Zealand) and everything in between. Maia speaks multiple languages and sings really well - wonderful to see this interview ❤❤❤ - Shanon (NZ)
Hey Shanon you're one of 2 people I've ever seen with their name spelled exactly like mine. Also, what a great tie-in to the story. -Shanon, Indiana USA.
It's so interesting when she talks about people in the Middle East assuming she was male based purely on her clothing, instead of her physical appearance. During the American Civil War, a number of women disguised themselves as men so they could enlist and fight. It always seemed improbable that they could pass themselves off as men just by cutting their hair and wearing a uniform. The explanation I usually heard was, "Well, back then, most people had never seen a woman in trousers, so they didn't question it." After listening to Maia, that makes so much more sense.
That, and they had 12 year olds fighting. L
Hard to tell the difference between a 12 year old boy and 12 year old girl.
Exactly, they wouldn't assume someone who work so hard to look like the other gender.
@@pl574 the movie little big man comes to mind. The scene where the orphan girl disguises herself as a boy so she won't be raped by the Indians. They ,however, were not fooled.
I think it has alot to do with traditional principles of religion and the importance of their garments. She kind of left out how important their cultural norms are because they're based on Judaism. Same with the Muslims. Both being pretty strict.
i find it less likely that ppl didnt realise, and more likely that ppl didnt care enough to expose her since it could mean her death...
Beautiful heart and intellect. Shows how even very intelligent kids can be extremely susceptible to culturally accepted misinformation.
More open minded snd willing to learn but they figure it out eventually
autistic - taking the word “crush” literally and habituating/obsessively into learning and researching medical issues (a chosen favorite activity of this person) as well as not understanding social norms/cues are hallmarks.
She seems rather autistic to me, what some of us call Aspie (very high functioning cognitively) - with some social deficit (not understanding what was meant by having a crush). When I first learned about genderism and took a deep dive into it, I started to feel alarm for my gay and lesbian and Aspie friends (I am undiagnosed but believe myself to be Aspie); and relief that none of this genderism woo was being taught when we were kids. Maia is one of the best public voices against the genderism ideology because she has such an amazing intellect and exacting vocabulary.
@@stephaay8437 That's what I immediately thought.
the brainwashing in education is fking intense atm, when its all you've known how can you challenge it
WOW. To be 25 with such wisdom and lived experience. Loved this interview.
“I thought a crush was an orange soda” IN COLLEGE?! Yes, how wise.
@@Aurea8787, the lack of knowledge of the word likely is a cultural one.
Social and logical intelligence are two different things. It sounds as though she might be on the autism spectrum, which often presents as limitation to comprehend human inner and emotional realities and therefore the vastly complex human social rules and use of language.Her brain seems to have failed to analyze the poetic and emotional connotations of the description "have a crush on someone" and reflect them to social contexts. She nevertheless seems a person of exceptionally high logical and conseptual IQ and vocabulary.
@@Aurea8787what a ridiculous comment.
@HildeC1982 It's true though.
"It was really, you know, in those moments that I was running from rockets without a binder that I realised that my body is not a pathology."
Such a powerful statement
Best point
We came under indirect fire (mortars) in camp in Afghanistan one time and I crawled under a vehicle for cover. I had a very clear though - “fuck this fuck this fuck this”
Without sounding like I’m being a bit thick….but can someone explain to me what that statement means?
@@lolalouise9503 Maybe something like: Imagine being constantly disgusted about your body but suddenly you found yourself in a situation in wich you are grateful that is working well and it is actually healthy. In that moment she could separate her ideology about her own body and see it for what it actuallly is and what is suppose to do and mean. I guess it was a freeing momment, a momment of clarity also.
I was on testosteron for almost 2 years but I stopped it because I don't want to be a patient for life. I came to the conclusion that I can be masculine and gay without being on medicine
Homosexuality is immoral. Stop
I am on testosterone and will likely stay on it. Was pathologically low T because something injured one of my balls as a kid and never noticed it.
@@napoleonfeanordifferent for you - you're meant to have higher T levels as you're male. Your body isn't fighting to reassert its born sex.
Women removing one or both ovaries for any reason, if done before 30, leads to double the risk for dementia.
Bravo! Stop the death of butch lesbians and femme gay twinks*
👏
This young woman is being added to my 'thank you' list
WOW! WOW! WOW! Maia, as an Israeli Jew I can't find the words to respond to this interview. I'm now done sobbing and the only thought in my mind is this: Your story needs to be a movie. Thank you! ❤
YES!
Let’s find a way to make it happen!
Yes, this would be great!
@@MaiaPoet how can I contact you directly?
Amazing story. Thank you for sharing your life in such a eye opening way. Truth will set us free from deception.
''..trans activist...coerce every institution in society, and every individual to disbelieve their eyes and ears''
Another great interview!
"The party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
This is top down not bottom up. Looks like the arm of the transhumanism agenda to me.

So sorry your friends were murdered, Maia, that’s heartbreaking. May you find healing. God bless Israel 🇮🇱, love from Canada 🇨🇦
Absolutely *brilliant* Andrew. While not Jewish, I am a year younger than Maia and can identify with a lot of Maia’s experiences as far as being a university student in the West goes.
Maia is very brave, honest and articulate. I hope to see more of her.
This is literally becoming my favourite channel, the guests you’ve had lately have been amazing!
Join the club mate ❤
Join the club mate ❤
Ill join too guiiizzeee
Yes, I agree. So interesting!
Same! ❤
I can't believe anyone who is clearly bright could have been that naive to not realise she was experiencing a crush. This seems really rehearsed like she's reading from a story.
She was 12. She clearly has autism
Maia is impressive. At the end of the interview she commented on admiring her mother so much as she is very smart and intuitive. Maia got some of her DNA! Not many 25 year old have the awareness, critical thinking and oral communication skills that Maia has. I hope far more people watch this video and follow her other social media accounts. Thank you Andrew. You do an excellent job on this heretics channel. Great idea.
its highly likely that adoration caused the seed of homophilic tendancy especially in combination of wanting to advocate and protect. A smart person could research things beyond webMD and requiring firsthand experience to gain understanding-smart people adopt 3rd person learning and avoid the whole mess. An intuitive person would get social nuance of what 'crush' means. This is impressive in the PR speak that genZ has grown up (with the internet) pushing exaggerated speech patterns that fill time with repetitive definitions and increase word count that sounds polished without adding anything extra to plot. That, shes very good with. And i do hope she gets and keeps a platform that can advocate to prevent others from following this path. But then again, even if someone like her existed at the time she was little...she would not have had the skills to find and learn from them second hand.
I love Maia. She's right. Gays are just never safe. We're either too queer for people who hate queerness, or we're not "queer and inclusive" enough for these ideologues.
I'm gay, I'm only attracted to men, and I don't want to sleep with transmasculine people because I know they aren't men and that they are actually medically masculinized women, but I'm not allowed to say that since the major social narrative is that they ARE men, regardless of their true biology. Men are only the natural thing and I won't accept a substitute, but I'll get attacked if I refuse them for this reason.
It is just never okay to be gay.
Don't listen to any of that garbage. You're absolutely right and it's perfectly ok to be gay
Get new friends Hon ... you can do whatever you want .. Move away from the Qs
Look im a gay trans man with a cis male partner, the issue that comes up between some gay people and some trans people is no trans person takes issue with "i dont wanna date trans men" its the "they arent men" bit that gets people up in arms.
Plus its also just kinda weird to announce your sexual preferance both me and my partner are masc4masc gays, but if we went around saying i dont date or sleep with twink becquse they are too fem for me people would think thats equally as weird to announce. Its just announcing your sexual perferance that people find weird.
My issue is that some LGB people qre okay dating/sleepimg with trans people but some people online who share your viewpoint decided they know my partners sexuality better and say hes bi despite the fact hes a completely homosexual man.
Both sides can exist, you can be gay and not date trans people and you can be gay and date trans people.
@@Sl1mch1ckensFor the love of Pete! You two are a straight couple, not a gay couple. Undoubtedly you are queered, but you are a woman and he is a man. Anything other than that is simply a lie that you've bought in order to fit in or feel brave or whatever other nonsense psychological need it fulfills. It's really sad that you feel it is not ok to be who you are.
To be fair, it is not considered acceptable to be straight or male or female any more, which is why people do all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid being such an awful thing...like say they are a trans man dating a gay cis man and saying they are in a homosexual relationship. That just blows my mind! No, sweety, you are a straight woman dating a straight man. The need for the charade is astounding. No one pretends not to be gay. They do pretend they are. That tells you that it is preferable, not the victim.
Glad to see people with a larger reach now talking to her, she’s great!
AMAZING. Absolutely f*cking amazing. You dropped A BOMB.. the finale, the message, especially for western parents, to educate children for the wild world outside so they stand up for themselves, they think straightforward, not depending individuals, forever patients and needy toddlers, but individuals able to use their own special traits (like neurodivergent) to thrive being themselves. Maya is indeed one of the most intelligent person i had the pleasure to listen to... a brighi star.. she really inspired me. Thank you so so much, eretics... i just hope this video doesnt get censored!!
Your compliment seriously made my day
@@MaiaPoet 😍
@@MaiaPoetcongratulations on your truly fascinating life and insight. You are wonderfully articulate. Thanks.
She's an amazing & dropping a bomb, a finale... really? This is her own experience, it in no way implies anything except her. I am glad she had it & figured things out but no, it's no bomb of real information. From her standpoint there are no transsexuals, no one suffers from dysphoria. She did not experience dysphoria, she experienced her body & ppl assuming she was a younger male. It in no way is the same. Transsexuals experience this as well yet it doesn't stop. I know because I'm a female combat veteran. I do support detransitioners but w the pressure online to stay relevant some only make statements based on them alone. They completely get the affirmation part, which is great, but go from there blindly as if no one else could have a differing life.
Yes! And that's what war does. War is awful, but this is one positive in it.
she's brilliant. great choice for an interview
What I was thinking. What an eloquently well spoken young lady
Thank you Andrew and Maia, 2 of my favorite Jewish people, from a Jewish fan. Amazing- Andrew you are the BEST listener and interviewer, you don’t interrupt, you ask good questions, you really listen, you choose thoughtful people. Maia you are so refreshingly honest, brave and unique, I’m so so sad and sorry you lost friends murdered by Hamas, I’m so glad you survived antisemitic Islamic terrorism, and all the rest you have survived. I’m so glad that today you are free in your body and life. ❤️🩹🇮🇱❤️✡️🙏🏼🤲
I saw a brilliant person having a fantastic interview, a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Maia for sharing your experience.
I love how half this story is just a gay coming out story. 12 year old girl is baffled by fluttery feeling for girls, and hasn't the foggiest notion what they are. Reminds me of a lot of books I've read where budding sexuality was just met with innocent confusion. That's how story and TV used to portray childhood. From the perspective of actual kids. Nowadays romance - even in kids shows - seems to be written from the perspective of adults. Where you instantly call it a crush, love, being in love, being boy or girl crazy. It didn't used to be like that. Our view as a society of what "sexual awakening" is has been so warped. It's supposed to be innocent and gradual. It's not supposed to be so...weaponized. Politicized. So immediately sexualized. I truely think kids these days are being preyed upon by society. It took me until I was 19 to accept being gay. I needed that time to decide for myself, learn for myself, that's what I was. Having millions of people defining you for you is uncomfortable and crazymaking. Brainwashing.
Some of her experience could be from the autistic perspective. She comes across like that. Reminds me of the 90's quintessential lesbian. Well spoken, dresses like Matt Smith's Dr. Who, befriends boys as a child instead of girls and gets along with them better. Really lovely and intellectual she is, truely. Then the rest of the interview is a window into modern life and culture I've never heard about before. I've never been out of the country. I don't think I can comprehend a war zone. Or even a culture that's so "homosocial" as she coins it. And losing friends to such horror. I think most Americans will never understand. I remember reading Persepolis as a child and it being my first look at real life, non fiction, in a similiar vein. Where growing up in a different culture (and a different country) makes all the difference. Maia learned a lot, willingly, from her time abroad. It's an incredible story.
Definitely some autistic traits/features.
I had to laugh at that because (and this is definitely showing my age), there's a song from 40+ years ago called, "You're Just In Love." It's about a young woman thinking there is something seriously physically wrong with her so she goes to see a doctor... And is told what feels like a medical emergency is really just her being in love for the first time. Exactly what's at the beginning of this video.
Reminds me of myself as a female teenager. I was a tomboy, even asked my Mum when I was in primary school why I wasn’t a boy. Their lives looked easier to me then. I rarely wore dresses and skirts. I got on really well with the boys and this is the same today at 59 years old. So many women don’t love themselves and see other confident women as threats or they’re jealous or something I don’t really know, I’m presuming as I felt those feelings in high school and decided that I didn’t want to be like that. I can’t believe that women like that haven’t changed from high school. Anyway what I really wanted to say is thank God I was born in the 60s and I could simply be a child without my primary school teacher offering me a binder…….shocking! This is all so wrong nothing should be touched until the child is a legal adult, full stop! The support should be there, of course but hormones, surgery and one way encouragement to trans physically should not be entertained until adulthood and even then is 18 ok?
It's a grift.
What a remarkable young person! I hung on every word of this interview even though I'm an 80 year old grandmother and am at times very confused and distressed at the way the world is going. Thank you to both you and your interviewee.
My gosh, you are so articulate. Thank you so much for speaking out. I’m sure you will help so many people. God bless you.❤
Yes
Extremely well spoken
Ok I finally understand the Islam-left alliance from the part at 51:00 where she talks about jihadis wanting to eliminate borders and all sense of individual states to expand their belief…leftists also want globalism and open borders.
Both are using eachother. At some point one side will assert dominance over the other, that will be interesting.
Correct. And the left will experience, as they did in Iran, exactly what kind of people they are "allying" with.
@@alihenderson5910 I wonder if there's some sort of historical precedent regarding what happens when the alliance isn't in both parties' interest anymore (spoiler: there is and I'm 100% sure you'll guess the outcome right).
@@HereTakeAFlower That's exactly what I thought. Also, your name is great.
It didn't end well for the left in Iran. 😢@@alihenderson5910
When you call yourself a medical researcher as a child i cant take you seriously
It's astounding how someone can live so much life in such a short amount of time.
My life just attracts chaos into it- for reasons I never fully understand
@@MaiaPoetYou really should- I'm not trading in irony here- write a memoir.

It's so amazing. She needs the whole world to hear this story!!! Xx
“There are schools now that are giving young girls binders.”
- Nowhere near a strong enough statement, unfortunately. I’d go so far as to say that at the present moment every school in the country with a significant female population will have some girls who are binding and a number of safeguarding staff who are aware of it. It’s everywhere.
What’s going on now is worse than I can even fully express
It’s just sick.
Amazing how we went from discussing how barbaric & physically damaging the corseting trend of the past was to handing out binders to children as "health care".
Also strange how the popular movement to ban FGM to "protect girls rights" pretty much vanished over the past 10+ yrs, as the same activist types now fight to *allow* girls bodies to be cut, again to "protect rights"
This is an absolutely important interview which has enabled an old person like me to better understand what is going on in the psyche of many younger people, particularly gen zed which I suppose Maia is part of (correct me if I am wrong). I was riveted from start to finish and I would like to thank you Andrew for doing this interview and Maia for being so intelligent, courageous and honest. It's a wonderful story finally because it is learning how to find yourself in an increasingly toxic social media world. Of course at the same time it raises the vital question of where we are going with social media and its concomitant lies and magical thinking. We seem to be going head-on into chaos, but I guess that if we don't destroy our planet, our sacred values, some sort of order will eventually arise out of this psychotic virus. Thank you Andrew and thank you Maia from the heart. PS Wonderful to have an interviewer who doesn't keep interrupting the guest.
She is obviously quite bright but the greater the intellect, the greater the capacity for self deception. Absolutely fascinating story. Thank you for sharing it.
“I thought crush was an orange soda IN COLLEGE”. A real genius right there.
I believe she is on the spectrum, autistic..@@Aurea8787
The phrase "there is none so blind as those who will not see" jumped into my mind when Mia spoke of living as a man in Israel and Palestine. I'm glad Mia had strong parents who insisted that she didn't medicalise her change but allowed her to grow and discover that she's a woman.
I hope God keeps protecting her.✡️✝️✡️✝️✡️✝️✡️
Or that she wasn't enabled by schools, psychologists, social services, peer pressure, media, state laws and Dept of Ed regulations that would push her into it. In Calif and Washington state, children have been removed from parents who won't affirm transgender ideology. Oregon has enthusiastic surgeons who are happy to remove teen girls breasts at 16, which may have already been lowered to 15 by law as their right. Permanent mutilation and medication allowed with no regard for her health, her future or her right to adult pleasure and procreation. Young people are openly lied to about the consequences of medication and even horrific genital removal.
It's Nazi experimentation all over again.
And don’t forget the Qatari Islamist indoctrination she mentioned - scary
Whoa. What a rollercoaster.
I agree with what Dr Miriam Grossman said when she empathized that there are so many different ways of being a woman/ man.
I‘m glad Maia is finding her way even if it has been so drastic.
I have a friend who lives in Israel and have been there. It’s been enlightening getting another viewpoint to life there.
Thank you so much and all the best.
This was an exceptional interview on several levels. Thank you Maia, keep up the good work.
Girl's life story is like a modern day culture war hero origin story or something. Dunno how to describe it. Hope she does well , I doubt there are many more people who have had such a varied view and perspective to look at modern issues from.
Her understanding of the jihadi motivation to break down states to create a caliphate is very astute and absolutely correct.
9:00 "Go study in a non western (read non woke) country, they'll teach you some common sense there."
👏👏👏 Bravo, great parenting!!!
Israel is quite western tho, so not the best choice.
I’m not being confrontational but did you not listen to what they said about what could’ve happened if they’d been found out?
@@Morbazan125The parents mistakenly thought she wouldn’t go on with it before learning common sense.
I'm a Kenyan immigrant, naturalized US citizen (technically a dual citizen) and both my children are going to uni abroad (either back home in Kenya, or Italy, Germany or India)- I do NOT trust American colleges and universities. They're quickly becoming indoctrination camps producing little brainwashed wannabe commies who have no idea what reality is.
Honestly, so smart.
Really interesting conversation. Maia, you are a wonderful communicator. I hope many get to hear your story. Wishing you all the best going forward. My prayers are always with Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem.
Yes! Am Yisrael Chai ❤️🩹🇮🇱❤️🕊️

@msfy-q4w I do not have to agree with her lifestyle choices to appreciate her honesty and willingness to share. The LORD gave us free will, I am not the judge, HE is.
Impressive, Maia. One of the best interviews, Andrew.
"... My body is not a pathology" is such a beautiful thing to say 😢
A lot of these situations could be stopped if young autistic people were taught how their autism affects them, research is showing that autistic females' brains are more wired in a male way and vice-versa, they are much more likely to be gay or bi-sexual and they won't feel that they can relate to the neurotypical gender binaries because they aren't neurotypical. The average life expectancy in the UK for an autistic person is 38 in part due to the co-occurring condition of epilepsy but a lot of people end their own lives. This suicidality is being used to medicalise young autistic people instead of people doing the work to make the world less traumatising and more inclusive for them, it makes me sick.
Very interesting angle. Thanks for sharing
Honest question, what does it mean for a brain to be wired in a male or female way?
😳 in USA they live a lot longer that's super strange
As an autistic female I agree. I used to be a very confused person thinking I was "nonbinary" turns out I was just an autistic tomboy...and bi 😂
Average life expectancy is 38 ??? Please let us know where you got that wildly inaccurate information.
I've met Maia a few times in Jerusalem a few years ago, I'm happy to hear she's doing well
Maia is a compelling and astute observer of the warped identity politics that have eroded our young sprouting beautiful citizens into masses of obsessed and ill prepared children - - The fact that she endured through such a tragic and disruptive scary time in Israel during the Hamas atrocities and used that experience to wake up to her inherent wholeness as HERSELF is really amazing. I am sorry her journey of discovery and new experience seeking in the middle east as a foreign student ended at such a traumatic dive into warfare and survival guilt. She is an interesting and sincere speaker and I much appreciated Andrews Interview With Her. May The Light Of Reason and Warmth Of Love Always Shine - May That Glow Be Spread Over the World. I pray for Maia's Continued Strength of Spirit and Healing As She Continues to SHARE and BE HEARD.

One of the best interviews I've seen on this topic. Very grateful to interviewer and interviewee. It's mind bogglingly frustrating that so many young kids have been swept up in total ideological madness that centres around scourging their bodies.
I think you are a writer. The words " scurrying sp. Of their bodies.
So articulate and well spoken. These are the kinds of genuinely good people hidden amongst the vocal majority. And as demonstrated, inquisitive and honest enough to recognise and dissolve her own delusions.
Wow! what a brilliant, articulate speaker she is. Andrew your interviews are just phenomenal, thank you for bringing us this kind of content - it gives me hope!!
See a psychologist kid…..it’s called puberty kid….we all go through it…..
Absolutely brilliant interview - exceptional and fascinating guest! Thanks for having her on, Andrew - and thanks for sharing your story and insights, Maia.
One hell of a story. Wow!!! I'm glad to hear Maia's story. Thanks, you both ❤
Thank you so much!
17:16 "I dont know whats going on, but im along for the ride" is such a mood 😂
Amazing interview! Thank you to both! Maia is such a wonderful, articulate, intelligent and brave woman! I wish you all the best!
I understand the survivor guilt. Three of my best friends died of cancer and I’m still here 11 years in remission.
Wow Maia... Your story is so special.
You brought me to tears with the story of not wearing your binder for the first time in years because you were running from rockets... And apreciating your natural body for it. And the understanding that making yourself into a medical patient voluntarily is only relevant in an incredibly priveleged, and honestly- bored, society.
Keep telling your truth! it is so important to hear.
Wonderful interview Andew. She is soo smart!
What a brilliant, articulate, BRAVE young woman. Thanks for a great interview.
I’m only two minutes in and can tell this lovely person is on the spectrum. How absolutely devastating that we’ve allowed our most vulnerable children to be devoured by an ideology that deliberately preys on intellectually complex children.
Soooo exactly what i thought
No offence intended but I think there is much about "the autism spectrum" concept that stems from a whole other set of misguided ideology.
Maia is clearly an incredibly intelligent, articulate and capable woman. I think it speaks volumes when a society invents constructs to categorise humans according to how well they do or don't fit within the framework of behaviour and thinking that we've been programmed to accept as normal.
Maia certainly exhibits uncommon intellect and nature. I don't see that this has made her vulnerable. Seems very gifted and capable to me.
Who the hell are you to make that declaration? People need to stop trying to diagnose the people around them
@ the same way I can tell from your response that your probably some kind of cluster B.
@@Julia_Jane_Jesus I said why I said because I am autistic with a high IQ and recognize the symptoms I have in others like me.
There is nothing wrong or bad about being autistic, we just perceive and interact a little differently. It’s ok to talk about it when we see it.
Listening to Maia speak about how men in the Middle East "believed that she was male"- something important seems to be missing in that telling. I think she's missing an element of human nature- we pity the unfortunate among us. These men probably looked at this "boy" with small hands, an effeminate voice, a round body and felt pity/ embarrassment for him. She didn't pass as a normal, healthy man so much as the men were really compassionate towards what they probably considered to be a defective boy. I can't see trans identified females surviving in a secular culture among masculine men.
😂
That might be it. Or they just didn't want to deal with what potentially might be a screeching loon.
What a fascinating interview!
Maia's experiences are astonishing. Please tell me she is writing a book. That would be an amazing read.
Much appreciation for having her on. Mahalo! 🤙🤓
"An insecure teen-aged girl......". That's the problem with adolescents transitioning-----ALL adolescents are insecure. Their insecurities could easily lead them to think that they have gender dysphoria, when they are simply going through a typical adolescence identity crisis.
What an intelligent and articulate young woman! Thanks for this interview, Andrew!
Great interview. She's very intelligent and I love her detailed introspective thoughtful insights.
"I owe it to myself to maintain the intactness of my body in order to survive what ever chaos life throws at me. War is a perfect example of the type of chaos you need to have a healthy body and a healthy mind in order to withstand it and not be dependent on pharmaceutical industries..." Exactly why providing trans surgeries for military personnel is ridiculous.
Thank you for this insightful interview. I have a paediatric nursing background. And have always felt that the whole trans issue comply undermines the few unfortunate individuals that are truly born intersex who need our empathy and understanding. I am totally with Professor Sir Robert Winston in that you cannot change your sex and like it or not XX =female and XY =male. Most of gender confusion can be the result of autism and homosexuality.
I was especially interested as I lived and worked in the Middle East where the hatred is often palpable. People without that lived experience have absolutely no idea what they are talking about., especially queers for Palestine who make complete fools of themselves.
Thank you so much Maia for being brave enough to share your experience. God bless you.
Yay, Maia! Looking sharp. I hope this helps people wake up about both Hamas and trans.
Hahaha thanks, Laura!
From your mouth to God’s ear. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱❤️🤲🙏🏼💯
This interview is so incredibly important and every queer for Palestine should be watching it.
Not gonna lie - I was surprised at the intelligence, use of vocabulary, and overall ability to communicate an idea. A high quality individual. At 19, I had not matured this far.
Intelligent, reasonable, critical thinker, down to earth - this interviewee is the complete opposite of that British soccer player that was all:
"DEI is good" whilst simultaneously arguing "DEI doesn't exist". That was utterly infuriating.
Refreshing! thankyou.
She’s autistic. That’s why.
In my experience, right-wing anti-semitism is very rare, yet left-wing anti-semitism is quite common.
in my experience people call just questioning jews/israel in ANY capacity anti-semitic when it is coming from the right. Like for example pointing out that many of the 'great' thinkers whose ideologies have managed to destroy the west are jewish, i fail to see the hate in noticing that.
Well, Israel is pretty traditional. High marriage rates, and people try to protect their children. Lefties don't have children as much, and love to abuse kids, ie steralizing kids, or like Vaush defending CP.
Right wingers think Israel has a right to defend themselves, lefties think Jewish people should allow muslims to murder them and kill their kids. It's why the left cheered Hamas raping and killing women in the Oct attack, while the right was against it.
Yeah, right wingers get labeled "mid-century Germans" if they are simply not big fans of Jews or Israel. And I've known quite a few that I'd describe as being "A bit skeptical of Jewish loyalties." But except for one, who I think was a literal Klan member, it's not something they talk about a lot and it's certainly not a big part of their identity. But leftists can be raging antisemites who do make Jew hating part of their identity, and yet someone the conservative who doesn't think we should be blindly supporting and sending billions to Israel is the real problem.
@@ressljs Personally, I don't mind sending aid to Israel. After all, we send aid to just about everybody, right? At least Israel is a beacon of freedom and enlightenment in the eternal dark age that is the ME.
@@Jianju69 I know I sounded like I was describing myself, but not exactly. I am loosely pro-Israel. I think they've been a good ally, and if I somehow found myself in the middle east, I hope it would be Israel, because I'm one of the people that might get chucked off a building. So I'm OK with aid, especially when there's mutual benefits. Still, it takes me aback how limitless our support to Israel is, and not allowed to ask if the current leadership is really acting in their nation's best interest (much less our own). But as a middle aged, white conservative, if I'm not careful how I say that, people jump to assuming I'm saying "(Very bad German Man) was right!" I've got friends who are "No aid to Israel!" Doesn't mean they hate those Jews or wants to see them destroyed, they just don't think it's our job to foot the bill. And they seem consistent because they say the same thing about Ukraine.
Amazing work! Dont let them get away with this. Canadians need this conversation more than ever.
Yes we do!
May she live a life she loves. 🙏🏼
What a deeply moving story. What an eloquent young lady she is.
Yet again another fantastic interview. Thank you for creating this content.
What a fascinating conversation that was!!! Good for her for getting her common sense back. Smart person!!!
Douglas Murray would love this story if he’s doesn’t know of Maia already. That was exactly his advice too, in his interview with The Free Press - go to Israel! Thank you Andrew ❤️
Douglas Murray is one of my role models. Had I not said that my mom is my heretic, I would have said that Mr. Murray is my favorite heretic
Had I not said that my mom is my favorite Heretic- I would have said it was Douglas Murray!
@@MaiaPoet A friendly hint: find a way to contact Karlyn Borishenko, she knows and understands queer and abolish gender and the be gay do crime stuff... She is onto something, trust me...an anonimous person on the net ;)
@@andrejprodan4016 do you have any way of contacting her?
I have another candidate for your favorite heretic. Mosab Yousef is the first-born son of a founder of Hamas.
th-cam.com/video/UPomqJz-qYc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CpY_G0evsVKd_vgO
This has got to be the most fascinating and thought provoking story/ guest I've see yet. I really hope this kid writes a book!
Maia, you are so brave and heroic. What you said about how Hamas hurts civilians is so powerful! Thank you for your perspective and your peace activism. Bless you!
I agree
Only a psychopath will not complain that she was bragging about how thrilled she was about fooling men who treated her well .
Part 2 with Maia at the Arabic school and part 3 with her parents please! One if my favourite guests on this show!
One person who embodies several current political issues, great interview, great point of view to be heard.
Maia, idk if this is something you need to hear or if you'll even see this. You mentioned that sometimes people tell you that God was watching out for you on October 7th, but that just brings up distress over if He was watching out for your friends or not. As a religious person, I believe that when God intervenes in situations like yours, it isn't because one person is good and one person isn't it's because someone has things that still need to be accomplished. And it might not have even been that. We have free will. Maybe your sober driver backing out was God intervening, and maybe that was just your friend choosing to back out. Either way, I think you are using your voice in a great way and doing a really good thing.
She seems like a great human. In an AU we’d probably be friends 🥲 It takes a lot of courage and honesty to come clean about what you get up to when you’re young and naive and especially to go against such a prominent and pervasive ideology. I enjoyed the way she spoke about broader concepts surrounding gender and our understanding of it and if she made video essays about that sorta thing I’d 100% be in the audience.
Maya, I hope that you will heal from the traumatic experiences you went through.
I also hope that you will write a book about all the experiences! You've been through the most crazy mix one can possibly imagine!
I would most certainly buy a book written by Maia Poet on her life experience ( so far).
oh bless you maia. i'm an israeli jew and it warms my heart so much to hear you speak. you're so well rounded, intelligent and ellocuent about all of it, and it makes me feel less alone in the crazy times we're going through. this is, as you know, a hard time to be an israeli liberal. one can be a peace activist and queer rights supporter with actual experience in war and palestinian friends, and still be considered a hateful bigot by people who have zero experience with such situations.
I really hope you'll gain much more exposure on social media, you make so much sense.
btw it's really sad that your friends cut you off. I get it if people who directly have skin in the conflict need space from people with the opposite opinion for a while, but activists from the west? that's nonsense, honestly.
much love to you. you are great and we should all just explore more what it means to be human in our bodies rather than trying to fit into a box ❤
Maia is so captivating. The movement is lucky to have her.
What a a fascinating guest! I learned so much from listening and could listen to Mia all day.
Praying for Maia to be fully healed from the trauma.🙏🏻
2011 is when Maia said she first heard about transitioning. Terrible that so many multiple governments haven't put a stop to it. Yes, trans health has been, at its very best, a waste of medical resources.
Fascinating from beginning to end!
Maia has a lovely personality & great brain.
Thanks Andrew & Maia!
Excellent interview with such an articulate guest. A pleasure to hear these emotive and nuanced subjects discussed with such thought, experience and clarity.
Wow! What a thoughtful interview and a well spoken, great thinker in Maia. Maia, Thank you for accepting your womanhood, your homosexuality and your Judaism. You are an inspiration and hopefully a deterrent to some susceptible adolescents- especially girls 🙏
This girl is one of the most interesting people I have ever listened to.
Maia you certainly don’t need ‘friends’ like you had. What an amazing programme 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤
I was thinking the same, yes, Maia they weren’t real friends to ditch you like that, I’ll be your true friend 🇮🇱❤️
What a great interview! Combining heart, intellect and common sense. This bright young woman is inspiring as is the interviewer.
Wow! 1000 likes for this interview! That's absolutely mind blowing. Thank you so much, Andrew and Maia ❤️
Agree! One of the best I have heard.
What an incredible interview thank you Andrew and Maia
Keep up the good work. God bless you and your mission, Andrew. You're what good journalists used to be, so never lose that integrity of yours.
Absolutely riveting
Interview. Maia is a one off. Highly intelligent, articulate, brave. Well done Andrew for introducing us to her. Now I'd like to hear from her mum who did such a great job in helping her adolescent daughter navigate the pressures of the trans ideology without surgical intervention.
