my dad was born in 1950 and his favorite toy was a baby doll. sometimes adults would want to take it from him, or ask his mom "why are you letting him play with that", but she let him keep it. theres nothing wrong with a boy wanting to be a caretaker. my dad told me that he always wanted to be a dad, and i think thats very natural and normal.
My partner got his heart’s desire at 4 when he was given a doll and a toy pram to play with the girls in his street. He continued to play with these all through childhood (and says he was rarely mocked) as well as playing cricket and rugby. He grew up and was an athlete at uni and a lovely heterosexual man who is very self-assured and has been a great partner and father. He is 84. These days his outcome might have been different…
These calmversations have really helped combat my inherent dislike of the trans phenomenon because of how abrasive the activism is. Funny how a nuanced discussion is more effective at changing minds than just shouting your viewpoint at people from across the river.
First time I've seen/heard the term: calmversation. Good one. Some persons, like myself, can engage in passionate and elevated debate, but others ( like a good friend of mine ) don't like it or cannot hang in there. Such a person might be persuaded, but the tone and tenor are too intense, or personal. I'm not talking about being "attacked", either. It's the energy. Good to hear your thoughts in this regard. ( P.S. - I prefer calmer, cooler conversations, but some topics are very, very emotional, so I get that, too, about people getting worked up. Usually better to take a Time Out or just not discuss the matter with such people. Especially friends / family, IMO. )
It greatly helped me elaborate on vague feelings of discomfort. It's through these kinds of conversation I can see what truly bothers me, what's just fine and what needs more exploration
At 40:54 I’d like to offer that I think Tullip misapprehends the argument women are making about trans. It’s *not* that we think *all* such men are the predatory AGP type, it’s that TRA *demands we disregard this type entirely* & eradicate all defences against their encroachment in our spaces. Men with such disorders are statistically quite prevalent in trans ID & over represented amongst men who abuse & violate us. Of course we are going to demand safeguards against any inclusion of these men, we’ve been battling their type since time immemorial, we know them, we know what they do to us & society is demanding that we entertain them in our most vulnerable spaces. This is not bigotry on the part of women, it is self preservation & a plea to be allowed to keep standards in place around who we’re forced to associate with. Furthermore the demand is that these men *do not need* psychological therapy, that this is a normal & socially acceptable part of their personality that shouldn’t require any intervention at all, that he should be allowed to grow completely into this persona & we’ll only deal with it when it escalates to crime. At the same time the demands are that we eradicate the legal boundaries of what constitutes a crime against women, because sexual gratification is what these men prize most.
So glad Tullip is on the scene. His honesty, humor, intelligence, and perspective are going to be such an asset to our understanding of what's happening.
When I was a young girl in the 1990s I LOVED overalls, mud, Jurassic park toys, legos, and video games. I’m as girly as girly can be now. My best friend’s son DEMANDED a Barbie when he was 3. So she got him one for his birthday. He’s 11 now and he’s an Boy Scout, a drummer, and a skate boarder. He’s a littler charmer with the ladies, too. Kids are kids. Let them be.
Sinead has developed into one of the most lucid voices in this space. She’s going to go on to great things - a natural born psychologist I’d say. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. I’d say Tullip is likewise destined. They’re both just great thinkers & speakers.
I appreciate how Sinead made several absolutely vital points, which Tullip nuanced in a way that really elevated the whole thing. I hope this conversation reaches as many people as possible. Very grounded! Mad respect!
Great point from Sinead. "Detrans" is more useful as an adjective -- a word that describes, rather than a noun -- a thing you can be (or "identify" as).
Great conversation. And it felt exactly like that, listening in on a conversation. A lot of great insights. The flag question at the end was sneaky and hilarious. The answer was perfect.
This insightful conversation needs to be widely heard, especially by the so-called "gender therapists." Thank you Benjamin. Tulip and Sinead, I'm so sorry for what you've been through, but by sharing the wisdom gained from your experiences, you will help to change public awareness for the good. This discussion shines with the grace with which you all spoke, and allowed space for each other's opinions.
This is the best discussion I've heard. Thank you. The term transorphan captures a silence of tremendous grief for another set of children's experiences.
Tulip and Sinead, I'm only halfway through, but I really loved your honesty and your openness about the entire experience. I'm a radfem, I'm against self id and early transition - openly so - but I hope you realize lots of us understand that people that transition often suffer a great deal and we have compassion for that. It's just crazy that these treatments are so freely available to people who are psychologically in a bad state and I wish it never happened to either of you. All the best, I'm glad you both speak out and I hope you will find your way in life.
Thank you for your honesty, you all. I appreciate this respectful conversation. Sinead, I love how you stand for females' rights. You rock, sister! 💜♀️
Until this video I did not realize the detrans man was kind of invisible. I just watched Shape Shifter and Benjamin yesterday and I was left stunned. Now Tullip has brought his voice to the conversation and what a voice it is. I thank him for his insight and compassion even extending this to autogynephilic issues - as I think compassion is what is needed. And Sinead has been a voice in the wilderness and a lighted beacon. Thankyou Ben for bringing these two together. I am learning so much and my heart keeps getting bigger and bigger for people who are suffering and feeling lost. For those who feel they want to detransition they are showing the way. And it is not with activism but with total love.
Sinead and Tulip are so clearly open and aboveboard about the beautiful human soul as they reveal their experiences and their journey. All open conversations with this kind of candid honesty help the world grow. Thank you for these videos on this site. We are lucky that they have not been shut down. Peace to you and know that the world is a mess because love is not loved. These two souls illuminate the gorgeousness of one’s inner being.
That was incredible, I feel like I hung onto every single word. Such an important conversation between two incredibly self-aware, intelligent, and important people. Oh...and you too Boyce!
I haven't gotten that far yet, but it's quite likely if our health professionals practiced true "informed consent" and communicated the actual health risks and risks of regret, we'd likely not have so many who are having the same experience as Tullip and Sinead.
Some of them are victims though. I think moms of kids who detrans who talk about it have every right to talk about what is, essentially, psychiatric abuse.
Hello, Mr. Benjamin and his fine guests Tullip and Sinead on this glorious Friday. We all need to do our part in sharing this content, because in the next 5~10 years... we are going to see a WHOLE lot more of these stories :(
@@calmon-ground962 ... Just breaks your heart, right? To think of all the horror stories we WILL be forced to grasp with as an entire world in the not so distant future. The "Congressional Hearings" in which Democrats will call for greater regulations and legislative oversight on the doctors that performed pre-adult / pre-puberty re-assignment medical intervention and surgery! Those VERY same doctors, being pressured to comply today! Just watch... I _guarantee_ some of those who WILL be calling out these doctors in the coming years, will be the VERY same people calling for them to medically transition minors today.... this WILL happen! . Those surgeons that are hailed as HERO's to the Regressives and Biden admin today, will be punished relentlessly for joining the cult earlier in their career's tomorrow. ANY sane mind can see exactly what is going to happen, but the Regressives have put the entire load of coal into the locomotive.... locked the conductors door.... and removed the brake lever. . This train is going full-steam ahead and there is a VERY, VERY sharp bend in the tracks, just a short distance ahead and they have their heads out the window, like a dog going for a ride down the road on a sunny day!
@@mirrormirrorpool2935 ... Oh, boy! The lawsuits will be fast and furious, to be sure! This will not only lead to the devastation of MANY, MANY lives, but then to greater and more expanded govt. oversight on doctors to ONLY make existing costs and issues we face today... much worse!
Hope there are very many more Detrans stories and very many lawsuits. If we see the left wing media start covering these stories, we will know the end of this nightmare is close.
Okay, so this was an awesome meeting of minds in this 'calmversation' with Tullip & Sinead both being fiercely intelligent, incisive and perfectly posited - not necessarily against one another, but approaching the issue from opposite directions. I love how candid both of you were are it makes me super hopeful for the future. With any hope, in a couple of decades we'll be seeing some kind of royal honours list acknowledgements for Sir Ritchie & Dame Sinead, for their work in tirelessly advocating for children's safety. On a lighter note, I have to also say that parts of this podcast were beautifully hilarious! Not because of the seriousness of the subject matter, but because within a discussion that covers the mistaken stereotyping of young people, we had a Geordie bloke whose dad was a minor and a Scottish lass whose dad works in the steel industry. Benjamin's face when Tullip was casually recalling his paratrooper brother calling him a "puff" and when Sinead said her sister told her she was being a "dickhead", was priceless! Welcome to Britain Ben; both the home of eloquent linguistic social intercourse, and the most down-to-earth place on the planet where we really do talk absolute filth to the people we most love and respect, lol. Just an absolutely awesome discussion. I appreciate all three of you for doing this and continuing to speak out about such a terrifying topic. Much love to y'all - ya bunch of adorable bastards! MWah! Bex x
The fact that they said it will be less than 10 years before you see a huge wave of detrans and a return to acknowledging biological sex (and objective reality hopefully, by proxy) is verryyyyyy encouraging
Women in their late 40’s etc married with children simply aren’t harbouring these sexual fetishes. This is one of the many sex-based differences between straight men & women.
Thank you for inviting these two brilliant people, they're both a pleasure and fun to listen to. Whatever you've been through guys, you have all reasons to accept yourselves just as you are, because you're great human beings. Thank you for coming to this show and sharing with us your fantastic personalities ❤️
I know one of those AGP’s. He’s a ‘lesbian’ now and verbally abuses his young daughter if she accidentally calls him daddy still. He made me peak. Completely different to the transexuals I knew of before. They knew their sex. It’s what they were dysphoric about. Nice people. He was such a shock to me. Still is.
When you go so low to abuse your child over a pronoun or your child calling you “daddy” when you clearly are- you should first remove this child from their care and second have said person’s head examined properly.
He also changed himself to mother on the school forms and tells the child he is her biological mother now. The lawyer told actual mum that they can’t touch it. He now has all the rights.
Thank you all for having this conversation. I have learned so much from your honesty about such a contentious issue. Your wisdom and experience shines through and I'm so grateful to you. This conversation will be incredibly important for everyone to hear particularly people who are considering detransitioning to their natal sex PLUS their family and friends. I'll be sharing this.
Thank you Benjamin for such a magnificent conversation with two young articulate and brave young people. I wish conversations like this could be on mainstream TV. Sinead makes so much sense and Tullip is developing his voice so well. I hope many Australians see this , especially after the whole Katherine Deves controversy. I also enjoyed your discourse with her but her political campaign has been very problematic here in Australia 🇦🇺.
Loved this conversation! First time I’ve heard and seen Tulip, but not the last. I agree detransitioning men need more support and encouragement. Women have given much support and attention to detransitioning girls and women. I’m guilty of that myself. I am a die-hard supporter and admirer of Sinead whose clarity of thought, ability to communicate her ideas so eloquently never ceases to amaze me. I agree with everything she says and for the very same reasons. However, I don’t understand the prediction that detransitioning will skyrocket just because it becomes the latest fad or that it will be cult-like. I see detransitioning as returning to oneself with a mind on the mend from a form of mental illness. And Benjamin, you make it all happen. Especially enjoyed the humor at the end of the video. No detrans flag indeed. Or a white flag, as a symbol of surrender. 😎
Very interesting conversation, I liked it a lot. Big thanks to Sinead and Ritchie for speaking up and I wish them both all the best. It would be great if you could have a conversation with them again in a year or so. It's always interesting to hear their perspective.
At around 57m in... I have some proof that it is definitely a generational issue. Here in Denmark they did a huge study of our sexuality, the Sexus report. The identity confusion was shown to affect young people mostly, because in older age brackets there were simply less people who described themselves as trans, which suggests the confusion subsides with age and work on the issue. This aligns with other studies that has shown that the vast majority of trans seem to detransition and find peace in their biological sex. I've heard different numbers ranging from 60 to 80 percent.
New to the detrans community, a TH-camr called Shape Shifter, posted an update to say he is detransitioning, after having bottom surgery and how none of the transition fantasy helped him.
Arty Morty has just interviewed Shape Shifter. He's so lovely, so intelligent..... A wise voice, with a tragic story. I find it so interesting that most HSTS are really nice, yet the AGP types are self-centred narcissists that don't care about anyone but themselves.
What a wonderful wonderful conversation between two incredible people. Thanks to BB for hosting this, you didn't have much to do here because Sinead and Richie just got in with it! Excellent show guys 👍🏼
Sinead is 100% correct. The words we use are very important. For example, one thing that annoys me is how people will say "biological man" or "biological woman." Although I understand why people say this, there is no need to include the qualifier "biological."
What a thoughtful, wise and nuanced conversation! Love it! So much insight for free! Thank you to the three of you! To me in the end this all looks like an issue of the very human problem of identification. With details or our humanness. Such as our bodies, our achievements, our job, our roles in life. Thing is, all identity is fleeting and transcient, because when the body falls, it is gone. I do not feel that love or life of soul is gone. But the individual human being sure is. No wonder when we have this limited personal perspective that we may feel a bit of a panic about what we do or look like in this life. We all need grace to open our eyes to the fact that we are not limited, not in charge and not alone in that manner. Our human expressions are gifts from life, not homework. Nor curses. Now, the narcissistic/cluster b mechanism takes over in this particular field. And the dynamics ut creates is as always mad, cruel and heart breaking. Thank you for helping us all break this particular spell and get out of this cult dynamics. ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant conversation - thoughtful, nuanced, humane. Your voices are sorely needed and I have no doubt will help many who are suffering and many who are seeking insight into what has been happening to too many of our youth.
I would like to comment on Sinead's view that mums that trans kids are munching and dads it's homophobia, I think a lot of dads are actually burying their head in the sand over it and mums can be both and neither munching and homophobic. Jazz Jennings mum tried to pray the gay away and was embarrassed trying to explain that her 5 yo son liked playing with barbies. So putting a bow and passing off the kid at a girl probably ruffled less feathers, then perhaps she got addicted to the attention of being this great inclusive mum. There's also something maybe in the way that in a large amount of gender non conforming kids they will likely grow up gay and maybe that makes people uncomfortable as they are thinking about sex in relation to kids? That's potentially societal homophobia where people can't think of same sex attraction in non hyper sexualised way. Gay = aids one night stands cruising in parks, rather than romance between 2 people that happen to be of the same sex
And many boys who like " girly " things won" t be even gay in the future . They just like colourfull and cute things , or rather play in a less competitive and rough way , and it happens to be more common in girl groups . My younger kid is like an old man for some things , but likes painting and , dancing , acting, wearing all kindnof costumes and play in a more colaborarive way, so although he has male friends , if he gets to a place where he doesn' t know the rest of kids , he tends to like playing with the girls more . My husband says that he was the same as a kid . He liked dancing , painting and was not into rough playing at all, and he enjoyed ( and enjoys ) female company better than male .
I agree with Sinead so much and feel the exact same way as her. It freaks me out, scares me and triggers my fight/flight response to the nth degree. Tulip is saying let’s not jump to the conclusion the MTF AGPs are doing this with malicious intent and that is a very fair point, but I raise you: women are the marginalized group here and we have the right to look at AGP’s with apprehension…
Scales and context are important. Theres a big difference between a man entering a womens prison and a man struggling with the desire to be a woman, when in fact the desire is to be heard/listened too, but males are sexually fueled...so it does weird things. And sometimes that thing can end up hurting women, no doubt.
I recently had a long and slightly surreal online conversation with a (presumed) straight transvestite who argued that women only recently learned this freakout reaction from 'cultural propaganda', such as movies about cross-dressing serial killers, and from radical feminists. He insisted that most women don't have any instinctive revulsion for such things. I raised a skeptical eyebrow. In fact I raised both eyebrows. But I'd be interested to hear your take.
@@SchrodingersTransCat that sounds absolutely bonkers to be honest with you. I learned being ‘freaked out by men’ by men and their creepy behavior already in early childhood. I’m a CSA survivor.
I think thst mothers "transing" their kids, has a lot in common with "Munchausen by proxy". Mothers with special kids are special mothers, these actions get them attention and sympathy.
These trans and detrans stories are just sad. These people mostly have serious issues and they pin their hopes on drugs and surgeries that can only change their facade. It must be a very bad day when they realize after going through it all the problems inside remain. I hope they find their peace.
There’s a man called Megan Key who is on record saying committing sex offences against women is no bar to the female estate. They said this to parliament so it’s recorded on Hansard. I have blogged about a male rapist in the female estate as early as 2009.
Great talk. One thing i noticed is the total lack of true understanding of the ammount distress of their decision to Transition will have on their families. You never know that stress, until you become a parent, and your child decides against every piece of knowledge you have tried to instil into them, that they want to do something where it has a 99% probability of failure. And all you can is watch them fail, suffer the consequences, and feel utterly helpless to take their pain away. Also in certain cultures, Banter is a term of endearment. In the Male environment, not having a nickname i.e. Poof, Bender, Mary, etc. Is an indication, you're not yet included. They are not insults, and you are encouraged to return the favour. This Generation is all about asking for understanding without accepting that they are not offering any of their own. It is all feelings, self diagnosed victimhood and a burning desire to seek out internet echo chambers that reinforce the current narrative to support your current ideaology, instead of listening to opposing voices and challenging your beliefs.
At the same time though you do need to accept that some trans people do listen to this side (im here for one) but i still dont agree with these people. You can be openminded to listen to all types of people without agreeing.
I agree, 100%! I tried to explain to a young person that terfs do not want trans people dead, they just don't want men in women's spaces, and stop children being harmed by transition. Nope! I still want to KILL trans people, zero listening, zero understanding. How are they so infantile?! It is maddening.
@scapps8173 It doesn't have to affect others directly. They're just wanting to put the brakes on a little bit, especially for those young people who could have co-morbidities that need to be addressed before they deal with the possible gender dysphoria which can lead to medicalisation.
Certain AGPs might be worthy of some sympathy, and of course most trans identified men aren't predators, but we can't let any of this weaken the line between women and men, and between our spaces and experiences and theirs. The smallest, shyest, most feminine presenting (or sympathy inducing) man is still a man--no exceptions.
Awesome debate, ThankU Both So much :) some crucial points made & much needed nuance - with such brilliant articulation. Yr Both Amazing! You’se both got such Razor sharp Wit too & bounce off each other brilliant, U cracked me up to Fuk! Thanks 4 the chuckle - I Really Really Needed it! 😁😁😜 Sending U both loadsa luv, support & Respect :)) From Wiltshire ❤❤☀️☀️🌝
Excellent show! Thank you to all three for educating us, changing lives and changing the world for the better. I agree that the days of the Trans Fad is near its end and a big giant needle is about to pierce the balloon full of nothing but hot air. A heck of a lot of young people are going to need help and support when they come stumbling out of the cult.
such an incredible conversation. there is far too much confusion about this and you laid it out so beautifully from an Inaiders perspective. so smart so wise just so necessary in a world gone mad. thamk you
@@BenjaminABoyce Have you watched/reached out to Shape Shifter - here on YT - about their recent detrans realisation, huge regrets about bottom surgery, side-effects from hormones etc, but who wants to speak out about the trans social contagion thing, to try and help prevent others (especially the young) from heading down the path he took? Would make a great guest. PS. Great line-up today. Loving the accents!
If either of these clinics 'lose' the records, make an official complaint to the ICO. Although there are valid safeguarding reasons for redacting some records they have to be clear why certain records have been redacted.
Sinead hits perfectly on the role mothers are playing in this. It is driven by personality disorder & misandry & homophobia. I’ll warrant they’re deeply angry at their husbands too & denying them their male progeny.
Hmm - certainly looks interesting from the trailer. I always look forwards to Sinead's eloquence but I'm hoping to hear what this Tullip person has to say
What an intelligent, compassionate, nuanced conversation. Thank you Sinead and Tullip for sharing your stories and insights regarding this horrific cultural phenomenon afflicting our society...your strong voices are leading the path to healing and understanding for more people than you will ever know. Much love and respect to you...
my lesbian exe decided to transition after 11 years together. The person I thought I knew was no longer. Past the grieving process, I have an opinion about the perceived reasons for this drastic change. You have mentioned that some may transition for the wrong reasons. I believe from my observations, that she originally had deeper issues regarding the male advsntages. I also saw an attitude change towards women in general post-transition. He also didn't know what to do with himself with the side effects of high testosterone injections, namely the aggressivity and sex drive. In Ontario Canada, some trans men pay an entrance fee to go smash old equipment with a stick in a warehouse. I know this because I used to accompany her in early transition to trans meetings where they would discuss their issues and share their experiences. There are many who seemed to suffer from mental health issues that were oddly addressed by shifting/believing that transitioning is the end all solution. I recall feeling rather sad for them. Some mentioned that their parents would rather have a trans child rather than a gay child. I've since stopped connecting with my exe even though he had asked if we could stay together. I didn't recognize the person I used to have affection for so I declined. At the risk of sounding like a bigot, I'm just glad that the full phalloplasty isn't advanced enough. The known complications deterred him from carrying on with it. He did mention that he found that his only possibility of a relationship now is with another trans in order to be accepted. I hope he finds the help and support to deal with the underlying issues. I suspect he may detransition if this ever brings to the surface the inner work required to accept that she's a lesbian in a patriarchal society. Thank you for bringing all these discussions and speaking the truth. I appreciate the sounding board. I have found it difficult to try to make sense of all this on my own. 🙏
The portion sizes thing sent me lmfao. I’m a Yankee. And the portion size thing is mostly a southern thing. Even my husband and I were shocked when we spent a lot of time in several southern states a few years ago. They serve sweet tea instead of water everywhere! My husband gained 10lbs when we came home because he got hooked on it. Too funny.
Curious, can anyone tell me who Limpeda is? I know my spelling is probably off as I’ve never heard of them but would like to look into them more please. TIA!
I was also really surprised when I found out Ritchie was the same age as me. I thought he was a late teen/early 20s lad aswell. I've grown to really like him after watching loads of interviews with him. He's a geordie, like me, so I totally understand how he was brought up. His humour and casual use of swear words is really endearing to me. I've got a feeling we probably know some of the same people from a certain scene in the North East but I'm not 100% sure. Lots of people I know are SUPER woke and knee deep in gender idealogy. I'm not, but I know a lot who are. I have to keep my opinions to myself on a lot of topics. I feel so bad for Ritchie though. My brother is gay and if he was a kid today he'd absolutely be told he was trans and probably believe it. He was very girly til he grew up and now he's just a normal gay man. It horrifies me to think he could have had surgeries or even hormones that'd stunt his development. Yet we're the bad guys for pointing this out. Then when someone does regret it they say they were never trans to start with and people should have stopped them 🙃 you can't win. You can't tell them you think they're wrong til it's too late but you're to blame if you they do make a mistake. Someone said on a video of Chloe Cole, talking about her double mastectomy at 15, that she's blaming the government instead of her "lack of judgement at 15 years old" it's mind blowing. It's not like teenagers are known for doing daft things is it?
As a parent, one of the toughest things I ever had to do was "let go" of my children, let them be adults and make their own adult decisions, and watch them 'wear' the consequences. This happens somewhere between 18 (society's definition,) and 25 (the fully developed pre-frontal cortex/brain). I got around this by educating my kids about their brains, and gradually loosening the intertwined decision making and financial bonds. What the child doesn't realise is that it cuts both ways. Make adult decisions, your parents might not agree with, and you are an adult, making decisions with adult consequences. Some children expect their parent's to "let them go", but do not want to "let go" of their parents. What a terribly sad world we've created.
The humility and bravery it takes to speak about their pains and their mistakes during a really dark time in their lives is amazing, it's tragic but amazing. Thank you for speaking the truth. && A big thank you to Benjamin for hosting this discussion and all you do as well.
my dad was born in 1950 and his favorite toy was a baby doll. sometimes adults would want to take it from him, or ask his mom "why are you letting him play with that", but she let him keep it. theres nothing wrong with a boy wanting to be a caretaker. my dad told me that he always wanted to be a dad, and i think thats very natural and normal.
Cute

My partner got his heart’s desire at 4 when he was given a doll and a toy pram to play with the girls in his street. He continued to play with these all through childhood (and says he was rarely mocked) as well as playing cricket and rugby. He grew up and was an athlete at uni and a lovely heterosexual man who is very self-assured and has been a great partner and father. He is 84. These days his outcome might have been different…
So cute omg

These calmversations have really helped combat my inherent dislike of the trans phenomenon because of how abrasive the activism is. Funny how a nuanced discussion is more effective at changing minds than just shouting your viewpoint at people from across the river.
A thousands yes. Having progressive ideas drilled into your head 24/7 with a jackhammer can be tiring.
First time I've seen/heard the term: calmversation. Good one. Some persons, like myself, can engage in passionate and elevated debate, but others ( like a good friend of mine ) don't like it or cannot hang in there. Such a person might be persuaded, but the tone and tenor are too intense, or personal. I'm not talking about being "attacked", either. It's the energy. Good to hear your thoughts in this regard. ( P.S. - I prefer calmer, cooler conversations, but some topics are very, very emotional, so I get that, too, about people getting worked up. Usually better to take a Time Out or just not discuss the matter with such people. Especially friends / family, IMO. )
@@machtnichtsseimann are you serious, calmversation is in the intro of this video
@@jemimahkendall6579 Maybe he didn't see it. No need to be catty.
It greatly helped me elaborate on vague feelings of discomfort. It's through these kinds of conversation I can see what truly bothers me, what's just fine and what needs more exploration
At 40:54 I’d like to offer that I think Tullip misapprehends the argument women are making about trans. It’s *not* that we think *all* such men are the predatory AGP type, it’s that TRA *demands we disregard this type entirely* & eradicate all defences against their encroachment in our spaces.

This is not bigotry on the part of women, it is self preservation & a plea to be allowed to keep standards in place around who we’re forced to associate with.
Furthermore the demand is that these men *do not need* psychological therapy, that this is a normal & socially acceptable part of their personality that shouldn’t require any intervention at all, that he should be allowed to grow completely into this persona & we’ll only deal with it when it escalates to crime. At the same time the demands are that we eradicate the legal boundaries of what constitutes a crime against women, because sexual gratification is what these men prize most.
Excellent explanation, thanks.
Absolutely
@Mumtrader Off topic but how did you make parts of your comment in bold?
So glad Tullip is on the scene. His honesty, humor, intelligence, and perspective are going to be such an asset to our understanding of what's happening.
Yeah, they're both very charming and likeable
Richie IS charming. He is actually cute. And that's coming from a straight girl.
When I was a young girl in the 1990s I LOVED overalls, mud, Jurassic park toys, legos, and video games. I’m as girly as girly can be now.
My best friend’s son DEMANDED a Barbie when he was 3. So she got him one for his birthday. He’s 11 now and he’s an Boy Scout, a drummer, and a skate boarder. He’s a littler charmer with the ladies, too.
Kids are kids. Let them be.
Sinead has developed into one of the most lucid voices in this space. She’s going to go on to great things - a natural born psychologist I’d say. I can’t wait to see where she goes from here. I’d say Tullip is likewise destined. They’re both just great thinkers & speakers.
Sinead is brilliant.
I love these people!!!
What a great testimony❤️
I appreciate how Sinead made several absolutely vital points, which Tullip nuanced in a way that really elevated the whole thing. I hope this conversation reaches as many people as possible. Very grounded! Mad respect!
Great point from Sinead. "Detrans" is more useful as an adjective -- a word that describes, rather than a noun -- a thing you can be (or "identify" as).
Great conversation. And it felt exactly like that, listening in on a conversation. A lot of great insights.
The flag question at the end was sneaky and hilarious. The answer was perfect.
This insightful conversation needs to be widely heard, especially by the so-called "gender therapists." Thank you Benjamin.
Tulip and Sinead, I'm so sorry for what you've been through, but by sharing the wisdom gained from your experiences, you will help to change public awareness for the good. This discussion shines with the grace with which you all spoke, and allowed space for each other's opinions.
hear hear, I'm going to be sharing it. As many people as possible need to hear these two incredible voices
This is the best discussion I've heard. Thank you. The term transorphan captures a silence of tremendous grief for another set of children's experiences.
Tulip and Sinead, I'm only halfway through, but I really loved your honesty and your openness about the entire experience. I'm a radfem, I'm against self id and early transition - openly so - but I hope you realize lots of us understand that people that transition often suffer a great deal and we have compassion for that. It's just crazy that these treatments are so freely available to people who are psychologically in a bad state and I wish it never happened to either of you. All the best, I'm glad you both speak out and I hope you will find your way in life.
Thank you for your honesty, you all. I appreciate this respectful conversation. Sinead, I love how you stand for females' rights. You rock, sister! 💜♀️
"We are medicalizing self-discovery," indeed.
🎯
It's very profitable
Sinead and Ritchie have to do a multi series conversations about the current state. I love the civility of their discourses.
Until this video I did not realize the detrans man was kind of invisible. I just watched Shape Shifter and Benjamin yesterday and I was left stunned. Now Tullip has brought his voice to the conversation and what a voice it is. I thank him for his insight and compassion even extending this to autogynephilic issues - as I think compassion is what is needed. And Sinead has been a voice in the wilderness and a lighted beacon. Thankyou Ben for bringing these two together. I am learning so much and my heart keeps getting bigger and bigger for people who are suffering and feeling lost. For those who feel they want to detransition they are showing the way. And it is not with activism but with total love.
Sinead and Tulip are so clearly open and aboveboard about the beautiful human soul as they reveal their experiences and their journey. All open conversations with this kind of candid honesty help the world grow. Thank you for these videos on this site. We are lucky that they have not been shut down. Peace to you and know that the world is a mess because love is not loved. These two souls illuminate the gorgeousness of one’s inner being.
Love Sinead. You are so fierce and wise.
31 and 35? I thought they were in their early twenties!!! Great interview.
Sineads comments about detrans men were very revealing, I hadn't realised that was true, Thank you for being you. You rock .
That was incredible, I feel like I hung onto every single word. Such an important conversation between two incredibly self-aware, intelligent, and important people. Oh...and you too Boyce!
I agree with Tullip. Those moms are going to play the victim card when their kids detransition and then will want to sue the doctors
I haven't gotten that far yet, but it's quite likely if our health professionals practiced true "informed consent" and communicated the actual health risks and risks of regret, we'd likely not have so many who are having the same experience as Tullip and Sinead.
@@stoicmom2817 yup, sadly therapists and doctors are not telling patients all the risks.
Some of them are victims though. I think moms of kids who detrans who talk about it have every right to talk about what is, essentially, psychiatric abuse.
Parents are told that if they don’t agree to trans their child they are likely to kill themselves. No surprise so many go along with it.
Hello, Mr. Benjamin and his fine guests Tullip and Sinead on this glorious Friday. We all need to do our part in sharing this content, because in the next 5~10 years... we are going to see a WHOLE lot more of these stories :(
Agreed, kitty cat - agreed.
@@calmon-ground962 ... Just breaks your heart, right? To think of all the horror stories we WILL be forced to grasp with as an entire world in the not so distant future. The "Congressional Hearings" in which Democrats will call for greater regulations and legislative oversight on the doctors that performed pre-adult / pre-puberty re-assignment medical intervention and surgery! Those VERY same doctors, being pressured to comply today! Just watch... I _guarantee_ some of those who WILL be calling out these doctors in the coming years, will be the VERY same people calling for them to medically transition minors today.... this WILL happen!
.
Those surgeons that are hailed as HERO's to the Regressives and Biden admin today, will be punished relentlessly for joining the cult earlier in their career's tomorrow. ANY sane mind can see exactly what is going to happen, but the Regressives have put the entire load of coal into the locomotive.... locked the conductors door.... and removed the brake lever.
.
This train is going full-steam ahead and there is a VERY, VERY sharp bend in the tracks, just a short distance ahead and they have their heads out the window, like a dog going for a ride down the road on a sunny day!
I suspect one or two lawsuits as well 📥🔨
@@mirrormirrorpool2935 ... Oh, boy! The lawsuits will be fast and furious, to be sure! This will not only lead to the devastation of MANY, MANY lives, but then to greater and more expanded govt. oversight on doctors to ONLY make existing costs and issues we face today... much worse!
Hope there are very many more Detrans stories and very many lawsuits. If we see the left wing media start covering these stories, we will know the end of this nightmare is close.
"Medicalising self-discovery." Spot on!
Okay, so this was an awesome meeting of minds in this 'calmversation' with Tullip & Sinead both being fiercely intelligent, incisive and perfectly posited - not necessarily against one another, but approaching the issue from opposite directions. I love how candid both of you were are it makes me super hopeful for the future. With any hope, in a couple of decades we'll be seeing some kind of royal honours list acknowledgements for Sir Ritchie & Dame Sinead, for their work in tirelessly advocating for children's safety.
On a lighter note, I have to also say that parts of this podcast were beautifully hilarious! Not because of the seriousness of the subject matter, but because within a discussion that covers the mistaken stereotyping of young people, we had a Geordie bloke whose dad was a minor and a Scottish lass whose dad works in the steel industry. Benjamin's face when Tullip was casually recalling his paratrooper brother calling him a "puff" and when Sinead said her sister told her she was being a "dickhead", was priceless! Welcome to Britain Ben; both the home of eloquent linguistic social intercourse, and the most down-to-earth place on the planet where we really do talk absolute filth to the people we most love and respect, lol.
Just an absolutely awesome discussion. I appreciate all three of you for doing this and continuing to speak out about such a terrifying topic.
Much love to y'all - ya bunch of adorable bastards! MWah!

Sinead has such a lovely accent. Even when swearing.
The fact that they said it will be less than 10 years before you see a huge wave of detrans and a return to acknowledging biological sex (and objective reality hopefully, by proxy) is verryyyyyy encouraging
Women in their late 40’s etc married with children simply aren’t harbouring these sexual fetishes. This is one of the many sex-based differences between straight men & women.
Thank you for inviting these two brilliant people, they're both a pleasure and fun to listen to. Whatever you've been through guys, you have all reasons to accept yourselves just as you are, because you're great human beings. Thank you for coming to this show and sharing with us your fantastic personalities ❤️
This talk was absolutely brilliant, Benjamin, Tullip, Watson!
I know one of those AGP’s. He’s a ‘lesbian’ now and verbally abuses his young daughter if she accidentally calls him daddy still. He made me peak. Completely different to the transexuals I knew of before. They knew their sex. It’s what they were dysphoric about. Nice people. He was such a shock to me. Still is.
Who are these super loud abrasive people?
When you go so low to abuse your child over a pronoun or your child calling you “daddy” when you clearly are- you should first remove this child from their care and second have said person’s head examined properly.
He also changed himself to mother on the school forms and tells the child he is her biological mother now. The lawyer told actual mum that they can’t touch it. He now has all the rights.
Thank you all for having this conversation. I have learned so much from your honesty about such a contentious issue. Your wisdom and experience shines through and I'm so grateful to you. This conversation will be incredibly important for everyone to hear particularly people who are considering detransitioning to their natal sex PLUS their family and friends. I'll be sharing this.
Coming to this 1 year later BUT loved this conversation. What a great threesome! Love the Ritchie, Sinead & Benjamin dynamic and content. MORE PLS!❤
Thank you Benjamin for such a magnificent conversation with two young articulate and brave young people. I wish conversations like this could be on mainstream TV. Sinead makes so much sense and Tullip is developing his voice so well. I hope many Australians see this , especially after the whole Katherine Deves controversy. I also enjoyed your discourse with her but her political campaign has been very problematic here in Australia 🇦🇺.
Loved this conversation! First time I’ve heard and seen Tulip, but not the last. I agree detransitioning men need more support and encouragement. Women have given much support and attention to detransitioning girls and women. I’m guilty of that myself.
I am a die-hard supporter and admirer of Sinead whose clarity of thought, ability to communicate her ideas so eloquently never ceases to amaze me. I agree with everything she says and for the very same reasons. However, I don’t understand the prediction that detransitioning will skyrocket just because it becomes the latest fad or that it will be cult-like. I see detransitioning as returning to oneself with a mind on the mend from a form of mental illness.
And Benjamin, you make it all happen. Especially enjoyed the humor at the end of the video. No detrans flag indeed. Or a white flag, as a symbol of surrender. 😎
Thank you Sinead and Tullip for being a voice. Our children need to hear your stories.
Very interesting conversation, I liked it a lot. Big thanks to Sinead and Ritchie for speaking up and I wish them both all the best.
It would be great if you could have a conversation with them again in a year or so. It's always interesting to hear their perspective.
Sinead- thank you for being honest about your feelings regarding AGP. I think most women have issues with it too, I know I do.
Wouldn't a bio-woman have Auto Andro Philia, AAP? A condition that is ignored and not in the mainstream radar....
@@maricampari3970I hear some do you have that I don't believe that Sinead's history though
At around 57m in... I have some proof that it is definitely a generational issue. Here in Denmark they did a huge study of our sexuality, the Sexus report.
The identity confusion was shown to affect young people mostly, because in older age brackets there were simply less people who described themselves as trans, which suggests the confusion subsides with age and work on the issue.
This aligns with other studies that has shown that the vast majority of trans seem to detransition and find peace in their biological sex. I've heard different numbers ranging from 60 to 80 percent.
What a great interview! Sinead is absolutely correct! She is a woman and she doesn’t need any other terms to define her!
"Conditions don't have flags." Brilliant. Though it was hilarious that Benjamin provoked her with that question--intentionally, I'm sure.
New to the detrans community, a TH-camr called Shape Shifter, posted an update to say he is detransitioning, after having bottom surgery and how none of the transition fantasy helped him.
Wow I just paused here and went over there and watched his three videos and ended up in tears :(
@@smooth_pursuit yea those are very sad.
@@smooth_pursuit his last video where he breaks down broke me. I cried with him. I pray he finds the help he needs.
Arty Morty has just interviewed Shape Shifter. He's so lovely, so intelligent..... A wise voice, with a tragic story.
I find it so interesting that most HSTS are really nice, yet the AGP types are self-centred narcissists that don't care about anyone but themselves.
@@ellieterf6443 thx, going to go check it out
Thank you, Sinead 👍🌟
From a Woman to another❣️
And THANK YOU, Benjamin for keeping up the good and honest work! 👌
Hi Mirror missed you in the chat today (I was there the whole time - must’ve been a first😂❤️)
awesome conversation, thank you all
What a great conversation between such amazing people! Thank you so much and keep bringing it on!
What a wonderful wonderful conversation between two incredible people.
Thanks to BB for hosting this, you didn't have much to do here because Sinead and Richie just got in with it!
Excellent show guys 👍🏼
What an important and charming Love Fest. Thank you Benjamin for brokering it.
Sinead is 100% correct. The words we use are very important. For example, one thing that annoys me is how people will say "biological man" or "biological woman." Although I understand why people say this, there is no need to include the qualifier "biological."
What a thoughtful, wise and nuanced conversation! Love it! So much insight for free! Thank you to the three of you!
To me in the end this all looks like an issue of the very human problem of identification. With details or our humanness. Such as our bodies, our achievements, our job, our roles in life. Thing is, all identity is fleeting and transcient, because when the body falls, it is gone. I do not feel that love or life of soul is gone. But the individual human being sure is. No wonder when we have this limited personal perspective that we may feel
a bit of a panic about what we do or look like in this life. We all need grace to open our eyes to the fact that we are not limited, not in charge and not alone in that manner. Our human expressions are gifts from life, not homework. Nor curses.
Now, the narcissistic/cluster b mechanism takes over in this particular field. And the dynamics ut creates is as always mad, cruel and heart breaking. Thank you for helping us all break this particular spell and get out of this cult dynamics.
❤️❤️❤️
This is wonderful, well done. And what an eloquent pair those 2 are.
I believe that man in Canada is now in jail for refusing to call his son his daughter. Maybe I'm mixing two different cases though....
Great conversations - I appreciate the inclusion of compassion and nuance on this topic.
Sinead’s rambling of a de-trans video is one of my faves!
I have this adorable mental image of little boy Ritchie during on the soccer pitch making that necklace of daisies ♥️
Brilliant conversation - thoughtful, nuanced, humane. Your voices are sorely needed and I have no doubt will help many who are suffering and many who are seeking insight into what has been happening to too many of our youth.
I would like to comment on Sinead's view that mums that trans kids are munching and dads it's homophobia, I think a lot of dads are actually burying their head in the sand over it and mums can be both and neither munching and homophobic. Jazz Jennings mum tried to pray the gay away and was embarrassed trying to explain that her 5 yo son liked playing with barbies. So putting a bow and passing off the kid at a girl probably ruffled less feathers, then perhaps she got addicted to the attention of being this great inclusive mum. There's also something maybe in the way that in a large amount of gender non conforming kids they will likely grow up gay and maybe that makes people uncomfortable as they are thinking about sex in relation to kids? That's potentially societal homophobia where people can't think of same sex attraction in non hyper sexualised way. Gay = aids one night stands cruising in parks, rather than romance between 2 people that happen to be of the same sex
And many boys who like " girly " things won" t be even gay in the future . They just like colourfull and cute things , or rather play in a less competitive and rough way , and it happens to be more common in girl groups . My younger kid is like an old man for some things , but likes painting and , dancing , acting, wearing all kindnof costumes and play in a more colaborarive way, so although he has male friends , if he gets to a place where he doesn' t know the rest of kids , he tends to like playing with the girls more . My husband says that he was the same as a kid . He liked dancing , painting and was not into rough playing at all, and he enjoyed ( and enjoys ) female company better than male .
I love what all three of you are doing. Looking forward to this muchly ; )
@CalmOn-Ground ... I doth protest... "muchly" is not a real word! 😝
@@NinjaKittyBonks still a good one😆🤪
I agree with Sinead so much and feel the exact same way as her. It freaks me out, scares me and triggers my fight/flight response to the nth degree.
Tulip is saying let’s not jump to the conclusion the MTF AGPs are doing this with malicious intent and that is a very fair point, but I raise you: women are the marginalized group here and we have the right to look at AGP’s with apprehension…
Scales and context are important. Theres a big difference between a man entering a womens prison and a man struggling with the desire to be a woman, when in fact the desire is to be heard/listened too, but males are sexually fueled...so it does weird things. And sometimes that thing can end up hurting women, no doubt.
I recently had a long and slightly surreal online conversation with a (presumed) straight transvestite who argued that women only recently learned this freakout reaction from 'cultural propaganda', such as movies about cross-dressing serial killers, and from radical feminists. He insisted that most women don't have any instinctive revulsion for such things.
I raised a skeptical eyebrow. In fact I raised both eyebrows. But I'd be interested to hear your take.
@@SchrodingersTransCat that sounds absolutely bonkers to be honest with you. I learned being ‘freaked out by men’ by men and their creepy behavior already in early childhood. I’m a CSA survivor.
@@SchrodingersTransCat you know what gives a huge red flag? A man trying to speak for women.
Fun fact: www.etymonline.com/word/travesty
Oh and Transcat email me I’d like to persuade you into a calmversation
benartboy@gmail.com
Wow! That was fantastic to hear such a thoughtful and respectful conversation! Thanks to all of you for making my day!
I think thst mothers "transing" their kids, has a lot in common with "Munchausen by proxy".
Mothers with special kids are special mothers, these actions get them attention and sympathy.
Oops! I commented berore it was mentioned in the vid.
Mbp is a symptom of narcissism. The worst 😓😥
These trans and detrans stories are just sad. These people mostly have serious issues and they pin their hopes on drugs and surgeries that can only change their facade. It must be a very bad day when they realize after going through it all the problems inside remain. I hope they find their peace.
It is bad enough having to take anti-depressants but being dependent on hormones for my mental health would be a nightmare.
A wonderful interview and I really, really liked the way Sinead said ‘Father’.
Just catching up - this is beautiful - thank you.
Detrans men need to speak up...we need more of them to speak up.
There’s a man called Megan Key who is on record saying committing sex offences against women is no bar to the female estate. They said this to parliament so it’s recorded on Hansard. I have blogged about a male rapist in the female estate as early as 2009.
Great talk. One thing i noticed is the total lack of true understanding of the ammount distress of their decision to Transition will have on their families.
You never know that stress, until you become a parent, and your child decides against every piece of knowledge you have tried to instil into them, that they want to do something where it has a 99% probability of failure. And all you can is watch them fail, suffer the consequences, and feel utterly helpless to take their pain away.
Also in certain cultures, Banter is a term of endearment. In the Male environment, not having a nickname i.e. Poof, Bender, Mary, etc. Is an indication, you're not yet included. They are not insults, and you are encouraged to return the favour.
This Generation is all about asking for understanding without accepting that they are not offering any of their own. It is all feelings, self diagnosed victimhood and a burning desire to seek out internet echo chambers that reinforce the current narrative to support your current ideaology, instead of listening to opposing voices and challenging your beliefs.
At the same time though you do need to accept that some trans people do listen to this side (im here for one) but i still dont agree with these people. You can be openminded to listen to all types of people without agreeing.
All so true. They seem to want everything on their terms with no concern how it affects others.
I agree, 100%! I tried to explain to a young person that terfs do not want trans people dead, they just don't want men in women's spaces, and stop children being harmed by transition. Nope! I still want to KILL trans people, zero listening, zero understanding. How are they so infantile?! It is maddening.
@scapps8173 It doesn't have to affect others directly. They're just wanting to put the brakes on a little bit, especially for those young people who could have co-morbidities that need to be addressed before they deal with the possible gender dysphoria which can lead to medicalisation.
Your guys's honesty is just so refreshing. Excellent discussion
Certain AGPs might be worthy of some sympathy, and of course most trans identified men aren't predators, but we can't let any of this weaken the line between women and men, and between our spaces and experiences and theirs. The smallest, shyest, most feminine presenting (or sympathy inducing) man is still a man--no exceptions.
And if every woman would realize this we wouldn’t be here. Treating gay men as tho they are female adjacent opened the door for this other stuff.
What a brilliant informative conversation. Thank you all.
39:00 Just when I thought I couldn’t love Sinead anymore…she pulls that out of the bag. 👍
Awesome debate, ThankU Both So much :) some crucial points made & much needed nuance - with such brilliant articulation.
Yr Both Amazing!
You’se both got such Razor sharp Wit too & bounce off each other brilliant, U cracked me up to Fuk! Thanks 4 the chuckle - I Really Really Needed it! 😁😁😜
Sending U both loadsa luv, support & Respect :)) From Wiltshire ❤❤☀️☀️🌝
Love Sinead. Always think of the ‘choose life’ monologue every time I hear her
Excellent show! Thank you to all three for educating us, changing lives and changing the world for the better. I agree that the days of the Trans Fad is near its end and a big giant needle is about to pierce the balloon full of nothing but hot air. A heck of a lot of young people are going to need help and support when they come stumbling out of the cult.
Such a great conversation. ❤️
such an incredible conversation. there is far too much confusion about this and you laid it out so beautifully from an Inaiders perspective. so smart so wise just so necessary in a world gone mad. thamk you
Thank you for your work, Mr. Boyce.
🙏🏻 the honor is mine
@@BenjaminABoyce Have you watched/reached out to Shape Shifter - here on YT - about their recent detrans realisation, huge regrets about bottom surgery, side-effects from hormones etc, but who wants to speak out about the trans social contagion thing, to try and help prevent others (especially the young) from heading down the path he took? Would make a great guest.
PS. Great line-up today. Loving the accents!
He is the ‘Boyce of Reason’!
Tulip, you have one of the most charming, captivating and beautiful smiles I have seen.
If either of these clinics 'lose' the records, make an official complaint to the ICO. Although there are valid safeguarding reasons for redacting some records they have to be clear why certain records have been redacted.
"Actual tea"😂😂
Very interesting conversation.
"Conditions don't have flags". Very poignant. Couldn't have said it better myself...
1:20:39 , flags.
Sinead hits perfectly on the role mothers are playing in this. It is driven by personality disorder & misandry & homophobia. I’ll warrant they’re deeply angry at their husbands too & denying them their male progeny.
Lmao. Whenever I see fancy European food I’m always like “where’s the rest?!?!?” Lmao.
so many handsome devils in this episode
Handsome and clever!
Hmm - certainly looks interesting from the trailer. I always look forwards to Sinead's eloquence but I'm hoping to hear what this Tullip person has to say
@Ginger Alex... I have heard _of_ both, but not heard _from_ either. Looking forward to what they all have to say :)
What an intelligent, compassionate, nuanced conversation. Thank you Sinead and Tullip for sharing your stories and insights regarding this horrific cultural phenomenon afflicting our society...your strong voices are leading the path to healing and understanding for more people than you will ever know. Much love and respect to you...
my lesbian exe decided to transition after 11 years together. The person I thought I knew was no longer. Past the grieving process, I have an opinion about the perceived reasons for this drastic change. You have mentioned that some may transition for the wrong reasons. I believe from my observations, that she originally had deeper issues regarding the male advsntages. I also saw an attitude change towards women in general post-transition. He also didn't know what to do with himself with the side effects of high testosterone injections, namely the aggressivity and sex drive. In Ontario Canada, some trans men pay an entrance fee to go smash old equipment with a stick in a warehouse. I know this because I used to accompany her in early transition to trans meetings where they would discuss their issues and share their experiences. There are many who seemed to suffer from mental health issues that were oddly addressed by shifting/believing that transitioning is the end all solution. I recall feeling rather sad for them. Some mentioned that their parents would rather have a trans child rather than a gay child. I've since stopped connecting with my exe even though he had asked if we could stay together. I didn't recognize the person I used to have affection for so I declined. At the risk of sounding like a bigot, I'm just glad that the full phalloplasty isn't advanced enough. The known complications deterred him from carrying on with it. He did mention that he found that his only possibility of a relationship now is with another trans in order to be accepted. I hope he finds the help and support to deal with the underlying issues. I suspect he may detransition if this ever brings to the surface the inner work required to accept that she's a lesbian in a patriarchal society. Thank you for bringing all these discussions and speaking the truth. I appreciate the sounding board. I have found it difficult to try to make sense of all this on my own. 🙏
The portion sizes thing sent me lmfao. I’m a Yankee. And the portion size thing is mostly a southern thing. Even my husband and I were shocked when we spent a lot of time in several southern states a few years ago.
They serve sweet tea instead of water everywhere! My husband gained 10lbs when we came home because he got hooked on it. Too funny.

@@BenjaminABoyce thanks!
I was also really surprised when I found out Ritchie was the same age as me. I thought he was a late teen/early 20s lad aswell. I've grown to really like him after watching loads of interviews with him. He's a geordie, like me, so I totally understand how he was brought up. His humour and casual use of swear words is really endearing to me. I've got a feeling we probably know some of the same people from a certain scene in the North East but I'm not 100% sure. Lots of people I know are SUPER woke and knee deep in gender idealogy. I'm not, but I know a lot who are. I have to keep my opinions to myself on a lot of topics. I feel so bad for Ritchie though. My brother is gay and if he was a kid today he'd absolutely be told he was trans and probably believe it. He was very girly til he grew up and now he's just a normal gay man. It horrifies me to think he could have had surgeries or even hormones that'd stunt his development. Yet we're the bad guys for pointing this out. Then when someone does regret it they say they were never trans to start with and people should have stopped them 🙃 you can't win. You can't tell them you think they're wrong til it's too late but you're to blame if you they do make a mistake. Someone said on a video of Chloe Cole, talking about her double mastectomy at 15, that she's blaming the government instead of her "lack of judgement at 15 years old" it's mind blowing. It's not like teenagers are known for doing daft things is it?
People like that are straight assholes...as I was one of them until I heard the stories of these brave souls. Truth is beautiful.
I loved the swearing but then again I am an Aussie
Same. I’m a Yankee.
As a parent, one of the toughest things I ever had to do was "let go" of my children, let them be adults and make their own adult decisions, and watch them 'wear' the consequences. This happens somewhere between 18 (society's definition,) and 25 (the fully developed pre-frontal cortex/brain). I got around this by educating my kids about their brains, and gradually loosening the intertwined decision making and financial bonds. What the child doesn't realise is that it cuts both ways. Make adult decisions, your parents might not agree with, and you are an adult, making decisions with adult consequences. Some children expect their parent's to "let them go", but do not want to "let go" of their parents. What a terribly sad world we've created.
This was great 👏
The humility and bravery it takes to speak about their pains and their mistakes during a really dark time in their lives is amazing, it's tragic but amazing. Thank you for speaking the truth.
&& A big thank you to Benjamin for hosting this discussion and all you do as well.
