      @husky0098 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      I disagree. I find the quote disparages actual, valid criticism of the social justice movement by accusing the critic of having a skewed perspective, bordering on gaslighting. It just feels like a pseudo-deep 'gotcha' response to people criticising stuff like 'positive discrimination' (that's an actual thing, look it up), essentially manipulating people into thinking that everything marketed as equality genuinely is, and that anyone who disagrees is somehow impaired in their judgement. A classic conformity play that any progressive movement that is earnest about its message should refrain from IMHO. Real, proper equality DOES NOT feel like oppression if you're an open-minded, well-adjusted person, and if something people call equality does feel that way, you should probably take a second look at it.

    At about 5:25:00 you started talking about how teens in Oregon can access testosterone just by walking into a clinic. Just wanted to share an anecdote. I have a transgender friend and as an adult (over 21 years old) he had to have years (I think 2 years) of psychological testing and therapy to be able to get a doctors prescription for testosterone and that was in very liberal Portland, Oregon

    • @sciencegeek1025
      @sciencegeek1025 2 ปีที่แล้ว +183

      I'm a transgender man in California and there are some clinics that allow informed consent, but you still have to be an adult for that so I have no idea where PragerU is getting their data regarding kids having easy access to hormones. I went to support groups and, eventually, therapy when I was figuring my identity out. In my case, those clinics that do informed consent didn't even take my insurance so I would have had to pay out of pocket for visits and possibly lab work too depending on which lab the clinic used even if I wanted to avoid going to a therapist. Testosterone is also a schedule 3 drug so it does make it a little harder for trans men to get their hormones as it is classified as a controlled substance and therefore there are some restriction like your prescription only being able to be refilled once every 30 days where they rarely make exceptions for and requiring a valid, government-issued photo ID when picking up the prescription. Got into a situation this year where my license expired due to the social security office dropping a major ball in not updating my info in their database even though I got a new card with my updated info in the mail which caused delays in being able to get my license renewed in time before I needed my refill. I had already had a total hysterectomy with an oophorectomy so I no longer produce estrogen and have no other way to get the required amount of either sex hormone without injections so I was panicking because I could develop osteoporosis if I go too long without the minimum amount of estrogen that the body needs to preserve bone health. Luckily, my endocrinologist was able to set me up for shot visits at the clinic I ended up finding that took my insurance, but it worries me a little that there are no exceptions for these types of cases where you have a verifiable history of taking a prescription that is a controlled substance that is critical for your health. There is actually something called the WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) that most medical providers use as their standard for transgender healthcare. It has been a while since I have actually looked at it, but I would imagine that my medical transition experience still aligns with what the WPATH advises. For hormones, medical providers require a letter from a therapist and, for surgeries, you would need a letter from your therapist and a letter from the physician that prescribes your hormones (this can be an endocrinologist or a primary care physician) for each surgery you want to undergo. Nowadays, surgery can be done before taking hormones, but the more common route is hormones then surgery. If someone opts to do hormones first, the WPATH advises that the patient be on hormones for at least a year before doing surgery most likely due to the rapid physical changes that occur within the first year on hormone replacement therapy. It is important to note that these are the standard practices for adult transgender patients as there are stricter guidelines for children. The main difference with kids is that they often advise hormone blockers, which are a way to delay puberty and have some risks that can easily be monitored and therefore treatment can be either changed or stopped prior to the risks causing any serious problems. Most doctor's won't even consider prescribing hormone replacement therapy until the child is at least 15 years old. The whole problem with the "Why Girls Become Boys" PragerU video is that it is going off the idea of rapid onset gender dysphoria which isn't a thing. It's basically a monkey see, monkey do argument that frames "teaching kids that your gender identity can be different from your sex and therefore there is nothing wrong with that as gender is a social construct" as dangerous for impressionable minds like children. Let me tell you, I have been bombarded by heteronormativity my whole life, this obviously includes my childhood, and I still have no attachment to the label of woman which is why I am a trans man and I am most definitely not straight either. It may not always be the case, but I feel like people who make that argument are either regurgitating someone else's talking points or they are self reporting that they themselves are in denial of their trans ness because I have yet to meet a cis person that believes they can be swayed to "become" trans just by learning about trans ness. I obviously have some bias, but I try to be as objective as possible because I can't possibly know everything and most, if not all, topics have exceptions.

The African enslavers weren’t selling their families, or countrymen, but strangers, mostly from the interior of the continents.

      That seems so weird as a Dane.

Otherwise, the teacher had full authority to choose and he even gave us the possibility to name a few possibilities that he might choose. One of those actually being a suggestion of me and my friend, China after 1949.

    You actually missed something in that trans episode that PragerU did. They tried to claim that more AFAB (ie born female) youth identify as trans than AMAB (ie born male). The way they did this was by comparing the rate of surgery requested. The thing is that mastectomies in AFABs are much more common than breast augmentations in AMABs because non surgical treatments can cause breast growth but can't cause breast disappearance. Since top surgery (generic term for all breast related surgeries undergone by trans people) is by far the most common surgery, and its much more common for FTMs to have it than MTFs, counting the number of trans people by counting the amount of surgical interventions will massively undercount MTFs. They do this to sell a narrative of the trans lobby attacking poor defenseless girls.

    Actually, gender is something that 3 and 4 year olds understand. As soon as kids learn "girls rule and boys drool" or any of those other playground rhymes, they know that gender is a thing. They learn boy colors and girl colors and identify with them as soon as they can pick a color they like. Kids learn about gender from the moment they are born. Parents hand them a doll or a truck toy and tell them how they should dress, which pronouns to use, how they should play with their toys, and what name they should go by. Children are never too young to learn about gender. We (the adults) passively and subconsciously teach it to them just by interacting with them.

Just because I’m a boy doesn’t mean I have to play with trucks and vice versa . Can’t I use what you said as an argument that trans behavior is anti-feminist as it directly consolidates the idea that a women or a man has to act a certain way for conformity of societal norms. You said we “teach gender” as if it’s a good thing. Maybe this teaching is the root cause of patriarchal society.

Insinuate that parents ruin their children by buying them wrong toys is just evil and is not true. Children in a normal environment don’t think about gender and normal community will not push sex on prepubescent children and as puberty hits there are years to come to explain to children why those natural changes happen. This what your kind does to children is just so immoral on every possible level and I’m sorry for your children who are forced to be sexualized and traumatized and deprived from childhood inocence that me and my generation got and I’m woman and mechanical engineer and my 3 dolls didn’t harm me in any way 🎉

      Actually, it is. Go to the sub r/asktransgender right now. There’s a pinned post that’s 4 years old compiling a list of the “informed consent” clinics in America. The post defines that as a clinic where you don’t need to have a letter from a therapist, nor 1 year of living as the opposite “gender”. You just sign documents and you get your prescription that day. In some US states, children as young as 14 can do this without parental knowledge or permission.
      Then read the files and watch the zoom meeting recordings from the WPATH files leak. The WPATH doctors admit on video that talking to a child about informed consent is “like talking to a brick wall”. It goes right over their heads.
      So it seems like these folks say one thing when in mixed company, and when amongst themselves, it’s a completely different story.
      And don’t take my word for it, go read these things for yourself. By all means.

That’s because the right (generally) tends to naturalize things like social heirarchy, economic disparity, the posture of international relations, etc. By that I mean that they’re generally much less interested in explanations and more willing to say ‘that’s the way it is.’ The left tends to historicize those kinds of phenomena, seeking to find explanations about the material conditions that led to the way things are. I don’t have a ton of evidence for this but once I acknowledged the “naturalize/historicize” dichotomy I could see it all over the place, and PragerU is definitely guilty of that kind of bias.

      Not only that, but using 'number of Africans shipped to the US' is a very manipulative statistic since by the time the US gained independence the Atlantic slave trade was slowing down anyway and abolitionists in Europe already existed*. Obviously if the trade was slowing down at this time, the number of Africans actually arriving in the US will have been relatively small. The problem is, of course, all the descendants of shipped Africans over the past couple of centuries were already in the US and made up a large majority of captive individuals by that point.
      *You could also argue that Thomas Jefferson was an abolitionist, in some twisted sense. He participated in the slave trade, but was well-known for not being a fan of it and even wrote a condemnation of slavery in the initial draft of the US constitution, which was later removed to avoid offending the southern states, and you know, all the other founding fathers who owned slaves. It's a very strange part of history to look at with a modern perspective.

      Slavery within France itself was abolished in the 1300's but that was really referencing slavery of French or Europeans aka "whites", but had the spillover effect that blacks from its later slave colonies taken to France were immediately free. An example is Thomas Alexandre Dumas, son if a Haitian slave and her French planter owner, who was taken to France by his father and given an upper class education and upbringing, enrolled in the French Revolutionary Army, rose to rank of General in command of 50,000+ French troops, was a top officer of the infantry in the Egyptian Expedition, and was the father of French author Alexandre Dumas, writer of The Counte of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
      Haiti only paid of its "debt" to Citibank (which had loaned it the money to pay France) in the 2nd half of the 20th century. Haitian president Aristide challenged the legality of Haiti's payments to France and demanded a reimbursement. He was promptly ousted in a coup orchestrated by France and the US.

      Reah, Roman slavery was VERY different. For instance, there was a system in place where slaveowners were at least a little incentivized to free their slaves because of how liberti gained the right to vote and were socially expected to support their former master. Slaves in Rome were not also an explicitly ethnically-defined group, which changes the character of American slavery.
      Slavery in the ancient world WAS immoral, horrible, and brutal, but to draw straight parallels to American chattel slavery with ancient slavery is to ignore a WHOLE LOT of context.

The Goths sold their children into slavery for dog meat. Rome as and entity was around for 1000 years.
      However that’s also what in part is blamed on Romes collapse. It’s listed among most historians factors as to its collapse. The US’s unwillingness and inability to reckon with our own slavery legacy is what is helping tear this republic apart. To hand wave it like Candace does is stupid and short sighted.

      How would teaching about wars in your own country's history be controversial? Unless of course you equal "controversial" with "information that threatens the glorified, idealized idea of my country", which would be blind patriotic nationalism; something that's way more controversial. Realizing that reality is neuanced and complicated is an important part of understanding the world and makes for a more informed population making more informed descisions.
      Being non biased in important, but being "non biased" is not the same as "hiding information because it could be more damning to one political side's arguments than the others". The left tends to be a bit more critical of the military in general, the right tends to be more embracing of it...does that mean that any information about wars should be banned from class rooms since any teacher who glorifies the military would be "biased towards the right", while any teacher who criticized the military would be "biased towards the left"?
      All I'm saying is that school should try to teach the truth as much as possible. You're suggesting that controversial things should be hid from studens. I know who I consider more biased in this situation...
      And to answer your question: Yes, systematically, the U.S is still a racist country. Less so than in the past, but still not completely fixed. Doesn't matter if the racist laws changed decades ago if the effects of those laws are long term and still in place:
      - Red lining artifically created areas where poor, african-americans were concentrated
      - People in these areas weren't legally allowed to get mortgage loans until the late 60's
      - Meaning the effects of red lining was an artifically created wealth inequality between poor, black areas and richer, white areas.
      - The removal of these laws didn't mean a removal of the wealth inequality
      - Public schools in the U.S are generally funded by property taxes in the area
      - Because black people in poor areas weren't allowed to get mortgage loans until recently, the schools in those areas were and still are inproportionatly underfunded
      - Underfunded schools tends to lead to students not being able to go to college, leading to them not making a lot of money to enrich their local area, making the cycle of inequality continue
      - Meaning kids still, in 2021, in poor, previously red lined areas, don't have the same opportunity to succeed just because they happened to be born in "the wrong neighbourhood". Even though the law that created the problem was removed decades ago.
      That's just one example of how the system itself is racially biased because of historical racism.

      @@zakaraz7698 If it mattered that much to me I would research it, but it doesn't. What does matter is that homosexuality is not contagious, detrimental to society, limiting in capacity to do things or in any other way "bad" or harmful. I do think people, especially young people can become confused about what they are feeling and should not be made to feel bad about how they experiment with those feelings or that they have made some irrevocable commitment to a lifestyle just because of one act, or series of acts. Homosexuality is actually quite common among mammals. That one I have researched. It often increases or even becomes predominant in circumstances of overcrowding or confinement. Cattle cannot be bread naturally in confinement as the bulls become homosexual when confined. Dogs and dolphins will stick it in any welcoming hole. There are many other examples, but the point is: people have a right to be who they are AND young people need to understand that they should not act on every impulse brought on by emotion because we, humans are easily confused by our emotions, BUT that they should not be ashamed of experimenting if they find they have made a mistake. I know that's complicated and people really don't like complicated, but, well, life is complicated. Take it from someone who has lived a lot.

      This is true, but not really a bad thing. When you commit a crime great enough for the need for prison time, you are forfeiting your rights. It would be a bad idea to just have prisoners loitering around the prison all day doing nothing. Now, where it might be sensible to object is whether or not prisoners should be able to work outside of the prison for the government or private parties? I would say no because that incentives government to enslave people. Instead, all work done by prisoners should go towards running the prison as efficiently and cheaply as possible, for example growing or raising as much of their own food as possible.

      The argument that the video is parodying is that slavery is not a thing distinct of western civilization or the US, though our focus on the US history of slavery may lead many to believe that. That is, you're both right, it's natural to focus more on American History, but it's important to understand that American History doesn't exist in a vacuum. But, again, I want to emphasize that this video is a parody, or at least a caricature, of that argument. When made correctly, those making that argument will often point out that slavery throughout the many places and eras of the world and its history has taken many different forms, and the form practiced in the US is on the more cruel end of the spectrum. Nuanced perspectives like this, however, don't fit on PragerU. PragerU is all about providing a one-sided argument and, at best, leaving it up to others or the viewer to make the other side and come to a more accurate perspective.

At least making oneself complicit in this butchering. The deployment of the Wagner battalion in other regions of the world, most notable in Libya, Mali and Sudan (backing the President, a now convicted war criminal) are also, yet less far-reaching, examples of Russia‘s military involvement since Crimea!

Someone who has a Y chromosome may still have a "female" brain if the NR3C4 androgen receptor (or androgen production in general) is curtailed by mutations.
    The most obvious example here is the SRY gene which generally governs testis development, where mutations can lead to a range of disorders broadly classed as "disorders of sex development". Swyer syndrome for example might be characterized by having a female phenotype and an XY karyotype due to mutations in the SRY gene.

    I lived in Norway for two years and they start sexual education at about ages 7 to 8. NRK, their public broadcasting company, has a TV show geared to young children that is quite explicit, and would probably be shocking to uptight Americans. It in no way has screwed up Norwegian children. According to many studies it has led to lower rates of sexual assault, teen pregnancy and even rape according to some more recent studies. When these young children become young adults they make more sound choices about sex. The same logic can be applied to teaching young children about gender. As Mr. Beat said gender and biological sex are different things.
    Teaching kids about such things when they are in their teens is just to late IMO. Parents and educators need to teach children when they still want to listen to parents and educators. Anyway I think people should stop being concerned about personal choices people want to make for themselves. It was like when people got up in arms with gay people in the 80s - are they in your bedroom, how does their sexual preferences effect you?

    I want to become a teacher as well and it always scares me when people complain that we are „pushing“ things like tolerance and diversity on the students. As teachers we work with many different students (different skin colors, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, etc.) so of course we are in favor of tolerance and diversity. We want all of them to feel welcome don’t we?

    Slave in Latin was Servus and that remained the case till almost the end of the Roman Empire. As the Empire declined, the rights of slaves increased so much that freeman would sell themselves into slavery to pay off debts. Please note one of those rights was no whipping and no selling such slaves unless the land the Servus was living was sold, the Servus went with the land. If that sounds like middle ages Serfs, you are correct.
    At the same time true slaves still existed but these were purchased from tribes who raided slavic lands for the slaves and the slavic name for themselves became the common name for slaves that could be sold.
    Rights of slaves varied over time, with most socities giving slaves more and more rights over time. Thus by the end of the Western Roman Empire most slaves were serfs not true slaves, but some true slaves still existed.
