Intersex person here on hormones for 30+ years 😅 what really makes me mad though is that the same hateful people who don't want to allow trans kids to access this "terrible" care think that intersex kids should be forced to! It comes down to - it's not about protecting kids. It's about protecting an outdated stupid idea that gender is perfectly binary. And in that rigid mindset no one is allowed autonomy.
And this brings up another point Transphobes "stop mut¡lat¡ng kids for your gender ideology" Doctor "this kid is born intersex" Transphobe "eeeew, can you cut it up so it fits better our boy/girl model?"
It legitimately makes me so mad that they'll conveniently forget that intersex kids have been forced and coerced to do all the shit they're accusing people of doing to trans kids now. "I don't think kids should be forced to have genital surgeries and hormones" YEAH ME TOO KAREN
@@TheEvelynMakesThingsI forgot who but someone once said “It is challenging to win an argument with a genius. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot.”
"Wtf is this plasma, bose einstein condensate, supercritical liquid? Stop making up new states of matter, there's only gras, liquid and solid, there can't be more just because of your feelings, go back to elemenery school. I don't care what scientists say, they are just selling propaganda."
They recently made it illegal for trans *ADULTS* to get hrt in Florida Edit: Yes, it was blocked by a federal judge. The same decision also permantly blocked their ban on care for minors too. That isnt stopping them from making weird work arounds and is still none the less horrifying that they even tried.
I live in Florida and, technically, this is not 100% true. It is totally blocked for trans minors, trans adults can still seek out trans healthcare, it just has to be from a doctor. This means that trans adults in Florida can no longer receive HRT from qualified nurses or online sources.
Yeah me too, and the fact my psychologists want me to treat myself and get treated as a woman (most don’t know but some do) feels so bad (luckily it’s just for a week. It’s the first day). I know, I’m sure, I feel bad and hitting dysphoria just in everything is sooo bad😢
I think there is so many of us in this exact situation...I've always wondered how many trans people there actually were who have just never quite done anything to transition...
i’m a trans adult who got the chance to transition young and later figured out i’m non-binary. i am so grateful for every experience i had, and the opportunity to find out who i really am. 44 years old and still learning new things about myself 😊
That’s so cool! Honestly as someone who’s 20 and enby, I’m praying I’ll at least be able to save enough money to transition when I’m 23. Highly doubt it, but being able to change my legal name in a few years almost makes the depression of gender dysphoria worth this 😭
"They come home and ask why wasn't I born a boy when they're really a girl." Is a hilarious statement because I had that exact thought in the 90's when I had zero education on what being trans was. My 8 year old self wanted to kill themself because of the hope I'd come back in the right body. I'm almost 40 and still struggling with it every day. If I'd have had any form of education about it as a kid I may have had 30 years of being comfortable in my own body instead of loathing myself. I'm only now getting to the point where I'm working up the courage to socially transition.
Yep. I called puberty torture and thought it should be made illegal, didn't learn about trans people for a few years, but sure, "the trans agenda™" made me this way. 🤦
"This is not evidence based, this is ideology based" said the supposed doctor about people being trans, which he uses arguments against that are not only ideology based but that have been disproven with evidence. Smh 🙄
Meanwhile their own arguments are based on appeals to authority and religious presuppositions. Even before I came out as trans, I feel like I've been fighting this same battle my whole life.
Most of the individuals in the video are not medical doctors, or, if they are, are not medical practitioners working in this area of healthcare. It is like an ENT advising on heart surgery. I find it infuriating that the swathes of disappointing individuals dragged out by these people and touted as 'experts' are just assorted persons with no relevance in the discussion. No wonder misinformation is rife with this sort of nonsense.
Ideological cold wars of every flavor have been brewing underground for decades. Trans rights is just the latest flavor to have figuratively erupted into a hot war.
In my school, I am the transgender agenda (my only agenda is not getting beat up + supporting other trans teens) edit : I came back from school and read nice notifications for the first time in months, y'all reminded me there is a light side to the internet and for that I'm thankful
"Entire friendship groups are becoming trans because it's contagious." This idea always makes me roll my eyes because they seem to get the cause and effect backwards. Kids seek out friends that they feel they can relate to and have things in common with. In high school, I considered myself "the straight one" in my group of friends because they were all openly queer. I realized later that I am not straight. I was drawn to this group because I felt connected to them. It wasn't even until several years after I lost contact with most of them that I realized my sexuality. So this idea that entire friend groups "become" queer because it's contagious is just backwards. They become friends because they feel a kinship
This!! My entire friend group is neurodivergent and queer, including multiple trans and enby people. We all found each other because we had so much in common, not because my best friend "made me queer".
The craziest thing about being out of highschool for over 10 years, is seeing how queer we all turned out to be! Once we all spread out and moved away from our hometown (and our parents), it seemed like everyone was coming out. It's kind of magical, like watching a flower bloom in the sun.
I'm a cis Women but everyone else isn't so we always Joke I'm the token cis I feel very confident in the fact I'm a women and have never questioned it so when ever people say being trans is contagious I just think huh must not work on me
One of the most insidious phenomena is when malicious people put on the mask of concern and deliberately spread lies in order to harm a specific group of people.
Have seen stories of cis women that have a history of breast cancer in their family, having their healthy breasts removed to keep from getting breast cancer. Then there are cis women, for health reasons, get breast reduction surgery. Funny, it's okay for cis women to get breast implants that are huge, but not okay to have them reduced or removed because of health concerns.
This is true. My top surgeon even said that if I didn't tell her, she would've assumed I was a cis gynaecomastia case, because my breast appearance was identical to those cases.
i think the craziest thing is like half of all males will experience gynecomastia, especially in old age, and 20% of those cant be resolved without surgery, so most likely that its more common for cis men to remove "healthy breasts" than trans men
The most harmful thing in my day in school for me was section 28 I grew up confused and terrified there was something wrong with me. I didn’t even know it was possible to be trans until I was in college but by then I was so in denial I just couldn’t come out and it wasn’t until I was in my mid 30s that I had no choice it was either accept myself or not continue I really wish these people could really know what damage they are doing.
Yup section28 was evil & good evidence that they will go for the gays after the transes, as whilst Trans people have always been a thing its been only recently that the bigots have become aware of them & in the absence of that awareness they went directly for the gays
I was 14 months old when section 28 came in force. When I was a kid,I thought I was the only one. I'm now 51 months on hormones yet people still think it's a phase and I'll regret transitioning
@@themikaylashow1987 Bravo & well done you & section 28 was horrible, & just set things back as it happened just as being gay was becoming more normalised, I was old enough to remember the fuss about a children book where the protagonist had two dads. Being Trans was well under the radar beyond some particular trans women who got massively hypersexualised in the tabloid media
I love how Jamie is always respectful when correcting bigots. He never insults them, just calmly tells them to actually research instead of just pushing a certain belief on others. Trans people dont want to make you trans, we want you to let us be trans and have the rights that we have been denied.
I commented a french sketch about the LGBT, included the aces, wich I am. The humorists were cleatly ammies, but lgbt-phobes still managed to make thrir way in the comments - like, a lot of them. I didn't argue with them, I just argumented very calmly to their arguments, ignoring their insults and provocations. One of those people was very insistant, but I still won. Lol. It's way eadier to win a discudsion on Toutube than IRL, because thry can't their usual strategies: cutting, shouting, threatening. On Yourube, their only wy tobescape the arguments is make their interlocutor angry so the discussion turns on insults exhanged both way. If you keep your calm, thry can't escape. They just can flee, but, doing that, they lose, and thry fully know it. :)
Would it be pushing beliefs on others to say the sky is blue? If so, why is it any different to say declaring yourself to be something doesn't make you that thing?
@@blowinatrannyWell, actually, the sky isn't blue, more of a blueish-violet specifically. It only appears like the light blue it does because of the way our eyes perceive it, that doesnt mean thats its definite color Also you blatantly ignore the fact that trans people are their gender
That "kids grow out of being trans after puberty" is crazy, as me and literally everyone I've met that's trans have discovered that they're trans after puberty. .... Given that most of the major body changes happen after it-.
For me it was all of the above. I didn't even think to question anything about my gender until I was already older than every trans content creator you could think of. When I finally accepted myself and looked back on my life, I realized a lot of signs were there. Puberty was when my depression hit, and hit me hard. I just assumed it was due to other things, since I didn't have the right language at the time.
This seems very common, it was my experience too. 'You grow out of being trans by puberty' is one of the many things these people will say that just gives away the sheer amount of ignorance they have
It was just so weird to me them saying that. I mean, as a kid, the only difference your gender really makes is in how you go to the bathroom (everything else is social & societal). Puberty however adjusts the body so drastically (males get their voices dropping, facial hair, etc, females get breasts, periods, etc), that it's exactly the point your gender is most obvious for the first time. If anything puberty makes being trans MORE obvious, not less
@@elaineb7065 yep. Like I hated being treated like "a girl" as a kid, but I thought that was just because girls were treated as less capable, stupider, and weaker than boys. So I just thought I hated it because it was condescending (which it is), but didn't realize it wasn't *just* that. Then puberty started, and I called it torture and thought it should be made illegal. Cause "puberty should be made illegal" is totally "puberty will stop this".
@@ShinyTillDawn We don't think they we are stating the fact that they are. I believed in Santa and the tooth fairy and wanted to be a ninja turtle when I was four. The type of logical rational reasoning needed to make permanent life-altering choices was not yet developed.
@@bakachan3601 Kids make permanent, life-altering choices all the time. Some of them include vaping, dealing drugs, and smoking. However, no one bats an eye at them the same way transphobes do for trans children. More trans kids benefit from transitioning than regret the process. While kids like to believe in fantasies, their gender is usually not a result from fantasy beliefs.
Yep as a former pshe teacher I was sent that DVD crap, had the pleasure of putting it in the bin and telling admin to send back anything sent by that business
as a person who was on puberty blockers for a bit, having the time to explore my gender and what i wanted to do without the increasing anxiety and dysphoria that comes with puberty, was what i really needed. im very privileged to be able to access this, and it should be a viable and affordable option for trans kids.
Just like the people who said that if you had adhd in childhood you would grow out of it , when what happens is they learn how to mask it to blend in as they mature.
I was told I couldn’t have adhd by a “doctor” because I was diagnosed in adulthood (I’m a cis woman, so…) and only kids have adhd… Like, my records don’t say I “caught” adhd as an adult, they say I ALWAYS had adhd, it just went undiagnosed until adulthood. Like, give your med license back now, plz. Thanks
@@ellim1585 wow, when i got diagnosed at 28, they gave my parents a form to fill out about my childhood. The funny thing is even though no one suspected i had a problem as a kid, that form my parents filled out suggested severe ADHD as well.
Oh simple, apparently find one of these transphobes, and ask them to write up for you what they think the trans agenda is. Since apparently they know it better than any trans person
U mm, I got some extra gay agenda if ud like? Sadly I don't have any trans agenda :/, I can ask a friend if they have some spare genderfluid agenda if ud like?
Guy I work with has 10 kids. He was talking about "the transes" and I told him, statistically, 2 of those kids will be LGBT. He had the typical "no kid of mine" kind of response, and like. I cannot imagine being that level of hateful. If you can't accept that your kid might be different than you expect them to be, don't have kids.
If I have a child adopted or otherwise they will be what they want to be and I would fight for their happiness if need be, nobody should be in control of anybody's life
I wish that I lived in the US and was a kid today. If Trump is telling the truth, kids are going to school and getting surgery while they're there. Back in the 90s, I had to visit the Clarke Institute in Toronto multiple times over 4.5 years to obtain approval while I was a student at uni in Windsor ON, and later on working in Ottawa, then having to fly to Brighton in the UK for the actual surgery. That included a week-long hospital stay. What a world we live in today.
The kids aren't getting surgery's. It's not even an available thing until you're 16, and you need parental permission. Trump is spreading complete misinformation. Any care being given is top surgery only, and mostly for Gynecomastia for cis males.
but then you would've missed out on that wonderful view of the sea from the hospital window. I was in Brighton for my surgery a few months ago, so I got to experience a 5 night stay with wonderful room service.
My body dysphoria didn't start till puberty. It was okay-ish until the body changes became where I couldn't hide them. And every year since then it has gotten worse. My parents still don't understand why I prefer big hoodies and jeans 🙄
Bingo bongo this exactly!!! I said as much in another comment, but to keep it short, puberty is when your sex characteristics are no longer just in your underwear
Me too! I never experienced recognisable gender dysphoria, except at being referred to as a young lady, until my body started to reflect a permanent commitment to womanhood.
AND she's being sued for harassing a CIS FEMALE OLYMPIAN because she thought she was trans for some reason. JK... you're the one harming other women here
I've recently discovered your channel and absolutely love it, I've actually recently started coming out as trans myself (MTF) (I live in the UK) I'm out to my friends and my family (well those I'm frequently in contact with) and I've actually just started coming out at work, I've been wearing eye makeup for the entire year but only last week started actually telling a lot of people, most people in my department now know and I've been really lucky as I've received nothing but love and support which is something I was SUPER nervous about
The "History of left-handedness" Maybe left handed people were 'on the rise' because teachers started to accept left handedness existing in the without whacking people's knuckles? They stopped associating left handedness as something automatically bad?
My step-grandma suffered this abuse in school and because of being forced into writing with her right hand, her writing is absolutely atrocious and barely legible… and it’s only getting worse with age as she gets more shaky.
i'm 36. im old enough to remember when that scum used the same "arguments" when speaking about gay people "the kids" "trend" "etc etc". Seeing how they are talking about trans people the same way and soooo many people is falling for it, it BAFFLES me.

@@wildmanlopez9772 Not an argument. By your logic, any kind of atrocity could be justified as long as there is an example of something worse somewhere else in the world. When you have to point to undeveloped nations or religious theocracies to make your comparison, you've lost the plot.
i learn about trans people on the internet (hello, i’m watching this video) and i’m still cisgender. learning about someone’s experience won’t make you like them. it will simply open your mind to what it’s like to be them.
Thankfully, I had my new mini Pride Pud Plushy to help me through this experience! 🦕🥚🏳🌈 (Great stim toy btw). Hearing that "doctor" talking about "no blood test therefore imaginary" brought me back to sooooo many times my chronic health conditions went undiagnosed / misdiagnosed. Fun fact: diagnosis *may* have been possible with genetic testing, but the genome is so huge and complex that it would cost too much time and money to complete. So, clinical diagnosis *based on my experiences and testimony* are what eventually got me to the right answers. Oh yes, and "vulnerable" is often a code-word / euphemism / dog-whistle used to indicate disabled people, especially intellectually / learning disabled.
As a transman that actually works in a school, with kids, I thank you Jamie for your thorough synopsis of this crazy idealization. Your information is what I will be accessing if anyone has questions, or any transphobes need backed up educating. I always look forward to these types of videos. The "dramatic" music in the video annoys me
There’s a teacher I know. Who probably would have watched the dvd by themselves, eating his lunch and laughing at it. He was a cool teacher. He always pushed people to actually research things before forming opinions.
As a 16-year-old trans gal, thank you. You are an inspiration to me, Jamie. I find comfort from your videos and although my parents are less than supportive, knowing that there are wonderful people like you out there gives me hope. And once again, thank you.
@@aleksabanjevic8316 this is something that baffles me, for real. im 36 and im just old enough to remember it...same rethoric. How are so many people are not realizing?
Yesterday I got to talking to an Uber driver and trans issues came up. I told them about my daughter and how she came to me, at 12 years old, and said she wanted to be a girl. I am trans as well, but not until after my daughter transitioned. I managed to give him the truth about the "transgender agenda", and at the end he said he was glad we had that conversation and he said I gave him a lot to think about. I'm hoping I helped him see the truth and he'll let others know the truth as well.
I identified as a tomboy my entire life. Not until lockdown did my vocabulary expand and I began to accept me as me. I don't care if there is anything you can find in my genes or my blood, I am who I am, and I wish I had this vocabulary and information at a much earlier age. Forget these people with their outdated and ridiculous opinions, trying to keep people in the closet out of ignorance.
The letter keeps talking about "professionals", but they don't specify in what field. So yeah, it's mostly professional conservative pundits, professional religious leaders, professional children's fantasy novelists, etc; not professional doctors, psychologists, or biologists. The handful of people they dredged up for the video are obviously not representative of their fields. They are allowing their ideology to cloud their assessment of the research. This is not a professional attitude.
The gay agenda is primarily built around the thread count in sheets. (The joke above me is about the right wing myth that people like school shooting victims and civil rights protestors are paid by some kind of leftist, deep state, global elite [antisemitic dog whistle] conspiracy.)
Being related to one- yeah, it's very infuriating. Especially because her stance is "well I don't know what's in it" (ok, then LOOK IT UP), but she is a smoker and the only things she can tell you are in cigarettes were nicotine and paper. And she refuses to even attempt to quit because "it'll be too hard" (despite having never tried), and then complains that people think she's the same age as her parents and have even thought her brother was her child even though they are only like 3 years apart. Like yeah, when you look 20 years older than you are, that's gonna happen.
So, I (Turner's/XO chromosomes) actually was prescribed HRT in a way, as I was prescribed contraceptives for hormone regulation in order to properly stimulate the puberty expected of my assigned sex. It was such a hassle and made my existing body image and dysphoria issues so much worse that I just quietly... stopped taking them (cos I was like 13-14 at the time so my mum trusted me to be able to get into the habit of taking one pill a day). Shoulda been a sign 😂😅 (defo not cis) PS I always like you pointing out the chromosomes are not as clearcut as many think😊
Kids biggest worry with being trans is losing friends and family. A lot of kids want to start transitioning socially but they can't or stop because of others.
I wish I knew about trans people sooner. I thought I had no option but to become a woman, and I nearly committed *that*. I wasn't even 10. When I learned what being trans was, I was in denial, but I felt enough hope to keep me going. Now, I'm slowly socially transitioning. (Fast changes distress me) I've barely made any progress within the last year, but I've still come so far. I'm way happier and have no regrets.
Yay!!! Supporting you from here! I denied it for so long and then when I came out to people and social transitioned I felt so much better! Good luck on your journey!!!
Thank you for making this video, Jaime. Something you said really hit me (in a good way!). You said that as people are exposed to the language and information, more people understand how to explain how they've always felt, and to express their feelings and true selves (I'm paraphrasing, obviously). While I'm not trans, myself, I do identfy as queer. For many years, because I didn't have the language or information to explain my sexuality, I just called myself bisexual, for the simple reason that a person's gender has nothing to do with what I find attractive. In fact, the only way I even begin to process any level of thinking "hey, so-and-so is really beautiful" (a term I use for every gender) is after I've gotten to know them pretty well (I used to say I was attracted to intelligence and kind souls -- the closest to how I could describe it). I actually only figured out I'm demi/ace a few years ago, at the tender age of 42. Anyway, my point is, I totally agree that it's not because a person's understanding of themselves has changed (because it doesn't) that more people are coming out. It's because they're finally finding the names for what they've always been. So thank you for that. Sorry for hijacking your comments section. 🤪🥰
I can't say for certain it's the same people, but there is a UK organisation called Truth in Science that try to push creationism into science in schools...so take from that what you will
That seems extremely probable. It takes a certain mindset to go from "I don't understand this thing" to "therefore it must be bad" to "therefore my religion is against it" to "therefore I have to stop everyone else from doing this thing even if they're not part of my religion."
Objectively there is very little difference between male and female human bodies until puberty starts. And the differences that are there, aren't terribly important to most pre-pubescent children. When little kids express dysphoria, it's usually pretty much all about their social environment not letting them be themselves.
Thank you for this video. As the parent of a trans young person I am disgusted that they sent this to schools - the sheer gall to think they could get away with it! It is hard enough for trans young people without grown adults targeting them and spreading misinformation about them. Luckily I doubt most schools would pay it any mind.
The idea that being trans goes away during puberty is just ludicrous to me. I didn't want to be stuck as my assigned gender from the time I was old enough to understand the difference in how people viewed boys vs. girls, and that feeling continued before, into puberty, which is in fact when I learned the language that allowed me to start describing that feeling. The feeling of not being my agab is still present after I've gone through puberty, and now that I can feel comfortable responding to that feeling by things like asking people to change what pronouns they use for me, changing how I dress, thinking of myself in a way that doesn't make me feel trapped or uncomfortable, I am much happier.
I’ve been saying, to me I view the issue of transphobia as a social issue, that (though slowly) is healing. I full heartedly have faith that things will turn out the right way and we’ll be moving towards a much more healthier, and excepting society, no matter how much time it will take. It’s always sad however that these “issues” have to always be uphill battles throughout virtually all of human history. That being said humans if good at anything else, they are a masterclass in turning other peoples personal choices, into your own problems. I’m sure someday we’ll get to the point where all this transphobic dribble people yell our is laughed at as nothing more but idiotic morons, clinging onto any research no matter how unreliable, to support a narrative that allows them to suppress the rights and freedoms of other peoples, simply because they don’t fully understand. Even though I know I’m genderfluid now, (I prefer she/her and they/them for the most part) even before I came to realize that, and even when I never knew transgender identities were a thing, I have always supported it. Immediate skepticism on something like this, is rooted in my mind in closed minded/unhealthy views of the world. Where you feel so strongly about a concept created by humanity, that you’d rather attempt to confirm your own believes/feelings, vs the feelings of other people, attempting to tell them what they feel is ether not real, or “insanity” just to confirm a believe of yours, instead of opening your mind to new possibilities, and new identities. A world that understands humanity as deeper thing than two binary genders, with roles assigned to them. It never truly has been, and never will be.
God, as someone who had to figure out they were genderfluid late in life, I think its annoying that they just want to demonize kids trying to figure out who they are.
My High School used to do Presentations lend by the teachers for every special day or month of the year. and my school ended up not doing the presentation for pride month because there was a heck load of Transphobic students the teachers even put on a documentary about a trans guy in my English class that din't go well and hearing all those horrible things my classmates said made me even more scared about coming out to my school ;-;
Another example of the comparison Jamie gave about the super tall people is, the idea that people have about cats. If the only cats people see are the aloof, a-holic, “my cat from hell” type, that’s all people are going to think, if they don’t have cats. I’ve lived with cats for about 30 years and they’ve been really sweet. The oldest of my current two is more anxious and introverted but she’s not aloof, asocial, or mean. I’ve known only two that were aloof and one just wasn’t socialized enough, my sister’s doing, and the other just wanted to be an outside cat. Eventually he got his wish
this video was well timed as the former US President and current Republican candidate is telling everyone that children are receiving sex change surgeries AT SCHOOL
I am Canadian, living in a province with an openly transphobic government. In the lead up to a provincial election this October, an outside organization recently mailed out a “But think of the children” postcard filled with lies about the “transgender agenda” in schools. Someone I know keeps saying “Follow the money.” S**t like this is expensive. (Whenever anyone asks me about the postcard, I’ve been directing them to one of your previous videos that picks apart the lies and misinformation that are commonly spread.)
Fellow Canadian in a con province. So sorry ❤ The fact that these bigots are the minority isn’t very comforting when they’re also the loudest and get pandered to because of it, but eventually they will be pushed into the holes they crawled out of and eventually all but disappear. Till then, we (the people it is safe for) just have to be louder
Lately online, (past 6 months) I've honestly seen A LOT of increase of alleged trans women, that say like... THE wildest anti-lesbian or anti-trans men stuff. Often followed by a "I can't be transphobic! I'm trans!". To me, this is easily a follow up to how they used to say the wildest stuff about trans women, in the "Oh, that's just how we are!". I know the community brushed them aside as "bad apples". But, tbh... it feels WAY too coincidental. As, the right uses moles *all* the time. And, with all the lies they are spreading, that *coincidentally*, JUST so happens to match the things said online... call me cynical. But I'm convinced we have a mole problem.
"grow out of when they go through puberty" umm puberty is where I realized I was trans! Absolutely hated the changes I was suffering from, and extremely jealous of everything the girls had and I didn't...
I have endometriosis and PMDD. If I didn't have HRT to stop my period & relieve some of the symptoms, I definitely would've killed myself already. HRT saves lives!
Yeah, people even fine giving cosmetic surgeries to kids eith parental consent, but trans adults? Nah, not a chance. Funny how women can make their chest larger, but trans women can't. Sadly, even removing the boobs is quite hard to get even for cis women. My friends aunt had brest cancer and still they barely agreed for her surgery, lol. and it's still not free. Even for cancer patients.
I've been seeing some studies about kids starting puberty earlier because of chemicals and other toxins. if this is true, I wonder what it means for transphobes and their opinion on puberty blockers when kids, particularly little girls, start developing earlier.
Thwnkyou for going over the trailer, because as soon as I said something like that I would just toss it in the trash without reading the full pamphlet or watching the video. The key phrase of Transgender Agenda is an automatic red flag 🚩 for me
you said it at the same time as me "yes it is ideologically based transphobic ideology" its all it is and you know all the political stuff about it is just a smokescreen anyway "oh this group of marginalized people are an easy target we can use them to cover for our heinous behavior when being in power. What makes it worse is its just same shit different decade, black people first then gay people now trans people im so pissed off with "they are coming for your children" stuff. I would trust a black/gay/trans person with my kids far more than i would trust any person in government
i'm not surprised Truth in Science are going this route after they had their creationism and intelligent design "teacher packs" dismissed and even lambasted in the house of commons
I was a public school teacher (in the US) in the late 90s and early 00s; my mom was a teacher for more than 30 years. Neither of us got this memo. We just accepted the kids we were sent, and tried to teach them to be better adults (or, in mom’s case, math). There wasn’t time or energy for any of this agenda business. Teachers *still* don’t have time for this nonsense. I’m sorry this is happening. It’s insane.
"We have anecdotal evidence that... Children ask questions when they get home from school sometimes." I don't think you're ready for parenthood if that's a prospect that keeps you up at night.
Not only are these doctors transphobic they have to be horrible doctors. What kind of doctor tells you 'if I can't do a blood test to prove it or get physical proof for it, it doesn't exist'? A terrible one. The ones who would tell you the pain is in your head cause there's nothing broken or who would tell women that they should just get over the perdio pain. Those people shouldn't allowed to be doctors.
@@tealkerberus748 no but it’s their faith in god that has allowed them to reject science in favour of hurting people who are different and make them feel uncomfortable, this is where their transphobia stems from.
Same talking points. When contradicted by actual science, they just leave the conversation and keep repeating the same BS elsewhere -- the idea is that people who aren't entirely paying attention will remember their talking points because they've been repeated so often but not the actual evidence-based position
There is no trans agenda in schools, I know because I'm 14. There's only like, one openly trans kid at the whole school (I think) and she helped me find one of my classes at the start of the school year.
Because you are 14 you don't realize you are flooded with trans agenda. When I was 14 I hadn't realized a lot of things that nowadays in retrospective I understand, and that includes shit I was taught on schools. You might see it 20 years.

I'll share a story of another medical condition that could be felt but not seen, and how much suffering befell me because plenty of doctors refused to acknowledge it. How some physical things just don't show up on test, and as a professional ignoring it because of "no physical evidence" known other than self-reporting causes irreparable harm. That lack of people understanding a condition is not the lack of a condition. A story cis people can probably understand, relate to, and conceptualize easier than trans healthcare/stuff. I had a nerve in my mid back that has something wrong with it, where it just sends horrific pain signals constantly. I spent 5 years going to doctors to get sent to physical therapy to get told by them that my pain clearly isn't muscular based, and the exercises shouldn't cause that pain. I had doctors keep talking about take me off my pain meds, which already was not enough to handle the pain and without it the pain was so much that it was hard to even think about anything other than the overwhelming pain. I stayed mostly immobile cause any movement irritated the nerve, so I end up with a bulging disc in my lower back three years into looking for a doctor that would do anything to help. I had X-ray, MRIs, some nerve test, etc. nothing showed up on those tests to show something was wrong. Five years & countless doctors to finally get a neurosurgeon to do an ablation on the nerve, right out of surgery I was able to stop the pain meds and move around just fine for the first time in years. FROM THE START I told doctor's it was obvious to me that it was nerve pain and I told them the ways to treat it (like the surgery I end up with 5 years later). Now I go in to get a shot in the mid-back where they couldn't cut near the spine, when I self-report to neurosurgeon stating that it's starting to hurt again, and (like now) the nerve grows back still in the same state (sending pain signals always) I'll have the surgery again simply by self-reporting my pain. Now those five years I lost being immobile searching for a good doctor had caused problems: Bulging disc (now herniated), weight gain, muscle weakness, arthritis, and my asthma has gotten so bad I winded changing the bedsheets (before this ordeal I was rollerblading at a fast pace for 4 straight miles, regularly). Add in the relationship strain/loss, financial strain (including I couldn't work, plus no disability pay because doctors refused to acknowledge my pain was real.), the mental anguish of being in crippling pain for those years, and losing 5 years of my life in my twenties... there is not a price I can put on all that loss. The idea that someone with a medical degree is somehow and medical expert in any specific field is so false, even in related fields ("Pain-Management Specialist" was the title used by most of these doctors I seen).
Sweet jumpin' Jehosephat! My friend's daughter was depressed and wanted to (unalive) herself until she came out to her family as a trans woman. Her own mother saw her blossom into a happy, wonderful daughter who successfully graduated from University and is looking forward to her life now. She's not the only one by a long shot. But her family, neutral on the subject of transgender people, saw how much it improved her life to be her authentic self, and are now enthusiastically pro-trans rights. I saw her as a fairly young child (maybe 9 or 10) and that child was clearly miserable and lashing out in anger, even then. So, in conclusion: Stuff it, transphobes. Your fake science doesn't science.
Intersex person here on hormones for 30+ years 😅 what really makes me mad though is that the same hateful people who don't want to allow trans kids to access this "terrible" care think that intersex kids should be forced to! It comes down to - it's not about protecting kids. It's about protecting an outdated stupid idea that gender is perfectly binary. And in that rigid mindset no one is allowed autonomy.
I was put on hormones quicker as an intersex person at 13 than I was as a trans person at 17. Incredibly ridiculous that these people have power.
And this brings up another point
Transphobes "stop mut¡lat¡ng kids for your gender ideology"
Doctor "this kid is born intersex"
Transphobe "eeeew, can you cut it up so it fits better our boy/girl model?"

Yep
It legitimately makes me so mad that they'll conveniently forget that intersex kids have been forced and coerced to do all the shit they're accusing people of doing to trans kids now. "I don't think kids should be forced to have genital surgeries and hormones" YEAH ME TOO KAREN

They recently made it illegal for trans *ADULTS* to get hrt in Florida
Edit: Yes, it was blocked by a federal judge. The same decision also permantly blocked their ban on care for minors too. That isnt stopping them from making weird work arounds and is still none the less horrifying that they even tried.

& they won't stop, it's always the children first, but then turn to everyone in the group(s).
It was never about “protecting children”. It was always about brutalizing trans folks
classic florida
I live in Florida and, technically, this is not 100% true. It is totally blocked for trans minors, trans adults can still seek out trans healthcare, it just has to be from a doctor. This means that trans adults in Florida can no longer receive HRT from qualified nurses or online sources.
I have never grown out of it. Although I have remained in a woman body, I still feel like I am in the wrong body.
Been 29 years like you
Yeah me too, and the fact my psychologists want me to treat myself and get treated as a woman (most don’t know but some do) feels so bad (luckily it’s just for a week. It’s the first day). I know, I’m sure, I feel bad and hitting dysphoria just in everything is sooo bad😢
I hope you get to fully be yourself someday
I think there is so many of us in this exact situation...I've always wondered how many trans people there actually were who have just never quite done anything to transition...
I’m not trans, but I sure as hell haven’t “grown out of” being bisexual
i’m a trans adult who got the chance to transition young and later figured out i’m non-binary. i am so grateful for every experience i had, and the opportunity to find out who i really am. 44 years old and still learning new things about myself 😊
That’s so awesome!
That’s so cool! Honestly as someone who’s 20 and enby, I’m praying I’ll at least be able to save enough money to transition when I’m 23. Highly doubt it, but being able to change my legal name in a few years almost makes the depression of gender dysphoria worth this 😭
@@Suited_Nat damn, Nat, i’m sorry it is so difficult. hold on, take hope 💜
That's so cool to see older enbies, really gives me hope for my future c:
"They come home and ask why wasn't I born a boy when they're really a girl." Is a hilarious statement because I had that exact thought in the 90's when I had zero education on what being trans was. My 8 year old self wanted to kill themself because of the hope I'd come back in the right body. I'm almost 40 and still struggling with it every day. If I'd have had any form of education about it as a kid I may have had 30 years of being comfortable in my own body instead of loathing myself.
I'm only now getting to the point where I'm working up the courage to socially transition.
Good luck! :D

We're with you! You got this! ❤
Yep. I called puberty torture and thought it should be made illegal, didn't learn about trans people for a few years, but sure, "the trans agenda™" made me this way. 🤦
"This is not evidence based, this is ideology based" said the supposed doctor about people being trans, which he uses arguments against that are not only ideology based but that have been disproven with evidence. Smh 🙄
Ideology is such a missused word, sadly.
Same thing with words like "woke" etc.
It's worse than that, this is a fundie group
Meanwhile their own arguments are based on appeals to authority and religious presuppositions. Even before I came out as trans, I feel like I've been fighting this same battle my whole life.
Most of the individuals in the video are not medical doctors, or, if they are, are not medical practitioners working in this area of healthcare. It is like an ENT advising on heart surgery. I find it infuriating that the swathes of disappointing individuals dragged out by these people and touted as 'experts' are just assorted persons with no relevance in the discussion. No wonder misinformation is rife with this sort of nonsense.
Ideological cold wars of every flavor have been brewing underground for decades.
Trans rights is just the latest flavor to have figuratively erupted into a hot war.
In my school, I am the transgender agenda (my only agenda is not getting beat up + supporting other trans teens)
edit : I came back from school and read nice notifications for the first time in months, y'all reminded me there is a light side to the internet and for that I'm thankful
Good luck 🫂

"Entire friendship groups are becoming trans because it's contagious." This idea always makes me roll my eyes because they seem to get the cause and effect backwards. Kids seek out friends that they feel they can relate to and have things in common with.
In high school, I considered myself "the straight one" in my group of friends because they were all openly queer. I realized later that I am not straight. I was drawn to this group because I felt connected to them. It wasn't even until several years after I lost contact with most of them that I realized my sexuality. So this idea that entire friend groups "become" queer because it's contagious is just backwards. They become friends because they feel a kinship
This!! My entire friend group is neurodivergent and queer, including multiple trans and enby people. We all found each other because we had so much in common, not because my best friend "made me queer".
The craziest thing about being out of highschool for over 10 years, is seeing how queer we all turned out to be!
Once we all spread out and moved away from our hometown (and our parents), it seemed like everyone was coming out.
It's kind of magical, like watching a flower bloom in the sun.
They said the same thing about cis gay & lesbian teens.
@@artheenbyrogue804 shhh, or ADHD and ASD will be "scientifically proven" to be contagious as well
I'm a cis Women but everyone else isn't so we always Joke I'm the token cis I feel very confident in the fact I'm a women and have never questioned it so when ever people say being trans is contagious I just think huh must not work on me
One of the most insidious phenomena is when malicious people put on the mask of concern and deliberately spread lies in order to harm a specific group of people.
In South Africa they would be prosecuted for hate speech. Transphobia is a crime here punishable by up to seven years in prison.
For around 6:44, I remember seeing someone say somewhere that gynecomastia removal surgery on cis men is also removal of healthy breasts.
Have seen stories of cis women that have a history of breast cancer in their family, having their healthy breasts removed to keep from getting breast cancer. Then there are cis women, for health reasons, get breast reduction surgery. Funny, it's okay for cis women to get breast implants that are huge, but not okay to have them reduced or removed because of health concerns.
This is true. My top surgeon even said that if I didn't tell her, she would've assumed I was a cis gynaecomastia case, because my breast appearance was identical to those cases.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that.
It might have been another comment on this very channel that said it.
i think the craziest thing is like half of all males will experience gynecomastia, especially in old age, and 20% of those cant be resolved without surgery, so most likely that its more common for cis men to remove "healthy breasts" than trans men
The most harmful thing in my day in school for me was section 28 I grew up confused and terrified there was something wrong with me. I didn’t even know it was possible to be trans until I was in college but by then I was so in denial I just couldn’t come out and it wasn’t until I was in my mid 30s that I had no choice it was either accept myself or not continue I really wish these people could really know what damage they are doing.
As someone who lives with people who love thatcher and can’t come out this resonates with me.
Yup section28 was evil & good evidence that they will go for the gays after the transes, as whilst Trans people have always been a thing its been only recently that the bigots have become aware of them & in the absence of that awareness they went directly for the gays
To me, it often feels like they do know about the damage they're doing, but they just choose to ignore it
It makes me so mad
I was 14 months old when section 28 came in force. When I was a kid,I thought I was the only one. I'm now 51 months on hormones yet people still think it's a phase and I'll regret transitioning
@@themikaylashow1987 Bravo & well done you & section 28 was horrible, & just set things back as it happened just as being gay was becoming more normalised, I was old enough to remember the fuss about a children book where the protagonist had two dads. Being Trans was well under the radar beyond some particular trans women who got massively hypersexualised in the tabloid media
I love how Jamie is always respectful when correcting bigots. He never insults them, just calmly tells them to actually research instead of just pushing a certain belief on others.
Trans people dont want to make you trans, we want you to let us be trans and have the rights that we have been denied.
REAL
Exactly. I met a genderfluid person, and they did not try to make me anything else than a cis woman.
I commented a french sketch about the LGBT, included the aces, wich I am.
The humorists were cleatly ammies, but lgbt-phobes still managed to make thrir way in the comments - like, a lot of them.
I didn't argue with them, I just argumented very calmly to their arguments, ignoring their insults and provocations.
One of those people was very insistant, but I still won. Lol. It's way eadier to win a discudsion on Toutube than IRL, because thry can't their usual strategies: cutting, shouting, threatening. On Yourube, their only wy tobescape the arguments is make their interlocutor angry so the discussion turns on insults exhanged both way. If you keep your calm, thry can't escape.

That "kids grow out of being trans after puberty" is crazy, as me and literally everyone I've met that's trans have discovered that they're trans after puberty.
.... Given that most of the major body changes happen after it-.
More like we grow into being trans am i right
I think puberty makes it worse because the amount of times I’ve heard other trans people saying they feel worse during puberty lmao
Oh my god. Im realizing why i hated my middle school years and felt so awful. Damn. @@Marshcantdrawbgs
For me it was all of the above. I didn't even think to question anything about my gender until I was already older than every trans content creator you could think of. When I finally accepted myself and looked back on my life, I realized a lot of signs were there. Puberty was when my depression hit, and hit me hard. I just assumed it was due to other things, since I didn't have the right language at the time.
Gender dysphoria hit hard after puberty, that’s when I started questioning, not much before
puberty is what made me realize i was trans; if anything i grew INTO it, not out of it
This seems very common, it was my experience too. 'You grow out of being trans by puberty' is one of the many things these people will say that just gives away the sheer amount of ignorance they have
It was just so weird to me them saying that. I mean, as a kid, the only difference your gender really makes is in how you go to the bathroom (everything else is social & societal). Puberty however adjusts the body so drastically (males get their voices dropping, facial hair, etc, females get breasts, periods, etc), that it's exactly the point your gender is most obvious for the first time. If anything puberty makes being trans MORE obvious, not less
@@elaineb7065 yep. Like I hated being treated like "a girl" as a kid, but I thought that was just because girls were treated as less capable, stupider, and weaker than boys. So I just thought I hated it because it was condescending (which it is), but didn't realize it wasn't *just* that. Then puberty started, and I called it torture and thought it should be made illegal. Cause "puberty should be made illegal" is totally "puberty will stop this".
I love how they use annecdotal evidence to support their case, but refuse to accept the annecdotal evidence THE CHILD IS GIVING THEM.
They think that children are stupid and lack credibility.
@@ShinyTillDawn We don't think they we are stating the fact that they are.

@@bakachan3601 Kids make permanent, life-altering choices all the time. Some of them include vaping, dealing drugs, and smoking. However, no one bats an eye at them the same way transphobes do for trans children.
More trans kids benefit from transitioning than regret the process. While kids like to believe in fantasies, their gender is usually not a result from fantasy beliefs.
@@ShinyTillDawnAnd some adults also believe in fantasies. Or just engage in fantasies they don't believe in but is an escape.
"kids are being given puberty blockers and irreversible surgeries"

Well kids are getting irreversible surgeries, it's just that it's intersex kids who are often too young to know what's going on.

If I was a chem teacher, I would have held onto it until we had an assignment that had us using fire, and burnt it. (Only joking but still)
Irrelevant to anything you said, but my brain read "pshe" as PE (physical education) but for girls.
as a person who was on puberty blockers for a bit, having the time to explore my gender and what i wanted to do without the increasing anxiety and dysphoria that comes with puberty, was what i really needed. im very privileged to be able to access this, and it should be a viable and affordable option for trans kids.
Just like the people who said that if you had adhd in childhood you would grow out of it , when what happens is they learn how to mask it to blend in as they mature.
Thank you for saying that. It really gets my goat.
I was told I couldn’t have adhd by a “doctor” because I was diagnosed in adulthood (I’m a cis woman, so…) and only kids have adhd… Like, my records don’t say I “caught” adhd as an adult, they say I ALWAYS had adhd, it just went undiagnosed until adulthood. Like, give your med license back now, plz. Thanks
Yep. I didn't stop thinking puberty was torture, I just stopped saying that so people would stop mocking me.
Yeah, or that being gay is "just a phase" that kids would grow out of. Just recycled homophobia
@@ellim1585 wow, when i got diagnosed at 28, they gave my parents a form to fill out about my childhood. The funny thing is even though no one suspected i had a problem as a kid, that form my parents filled out suggested severe ADHD as well.

Sorry we ran out last meeting, we're restocking as we speak, I can put you on a waiting list for it.

@@aleksabanjevic8316 the genderfluid agenda should be in the back
You could ask a trans man? I hear they keep the agenda in a binder.
Saying it's better for someone with gender dysphoria to not transition is the exact same as saying it's better for a starving person to not eat food.
Guy I work with has 10 kids. He was talking about "the transes" and I told him, statistically, 2 of those kids will be LGBT. He had the typical "no kid of mine" kind of response, and like. I cannot imagine being that level of hateful. If you can't accept that your kid might be different than you expect them to be, don't have kids.
If I have a child adopted or otherwise they will be what they want to be and I would fight for their happiness if need be, nobody should be in control of anybody's life
I wish that I lived in the US and was a kid today. If Trump is telling the truth, kids are going to school and getting surgery while they're there. Back in the 90s, I had to visit the Clarke Institute in Toronto multiple times over 4.5 years to obtain approval while I was a student at uni in Windsor ON, and later on working in Ottawa, then having to fly to Brighton in the UK for the actual surgery. That included a week-long hospital stay.
What a world we live in today.
The kids aren't getting surgery's. It's not even an available thing until you're 16, and you need parental permission. Trump is spreading complete misinformation. Any care being given is top surgery only, and mostly for Gynecomastia for cis males.
but then you would've missed out on that wonderful view of the sea from the hospital window. I was in Brighton for my surgery a few months ago, so I got to experience a 5 night stay with wonderful room service.

My body dysphoria didn't start till puberty. It was okay-ish until the body changes became where I couldn't hide them. And every year since then it has gotten worse. My parents still don't understand why I prefer big hoodies and jeans 🙄
Bingo bongo this exactly!!! I said as much in another comment, but to keep it short, puberty is when your sex characteristics are no longer just in your underwear
Me too! I never experienced recognisable gender dysphoria, except at being referred to as a young lady, until my body started to reflect a permanent commitment to womanhood.
I transitioned in 1987. I'm still waiting for the regret to set in.

Yesterday I got to talking to an Uber driver and trans issues came up. I told them about my daughter and how she came to me, at 12 years old, and said she wanted to be a girl. I am trans as well, but not until after my daughter transitioned. I managed to give him the truth about the "transgender agenda", and at the end he said he was glad we had that conversation and he said I gave him a lot to think about. I'm hoping I helped him see the truth and he'll let others know the truth as well.
I identified as a tomboy my entire life. Not until lockdown did my vocabulary expand and I began to accept me as me. I don't care if there is anything you can find in my genes or my blood, I am who I am, and I wish I had this vocabulary and information at a much earlier age. Forget these people with their outdated and ridiculous opinions, trying to keep people in the closet out of ignorance.
The letter keeps talking about "professionals", but they don't specify in what field. So yeah, it's mostly professional conservative pundits, professional religious leaders, professional children's fantasy novelists, etc; not professional doctors, psychologists, or biologists.
The handful of people they dredged up for the video are obviously not representative of their fields. They are allowing their ideology to cloud their assessment of the research. This is not a professional attitude.

The gay agenda is primarily built around the thread count in sheets.

Man, that paediatrician is like a nurse with anti vax beliefs. Its infuriating.
Being related to one- yeah, it's very infuriating. Especially because her stance is "well I don't know what's in it" (ok, then LOOK IT UP), but she is a smoker and the only things she can tell you are in cigarettes were nicotine and paper. And she refuses to even attempt to quit because "it'll be too hard" (despite having never tried), and then complains that people think she's the same age as her parents and have even thought her brother was her child even though they are only like 3 years apart. Like yeah, when you look 20 years older than you are, that's gonna happen.

_[Mario voice]_ It's-a me, da trans-a-genda!
"The vulnerable need protection." Indeed, my vulnerable child really needs protection from these bigots.
So, I (Turner's/XO chromosomes) actually was prescribed HRT in a way, as I was prescribed contraceptives for hormone regulation in order to properly stimulate the puberty expected of my assigned sex.
It was such a hassle and made my existing body image and dysphoria issues so much worse that I just quietly... stopped taking them (cos I was like 13-14 at the time so my mum trusted me to be able to get into the habit of taking one pill a day).
Shoulda been a sign 😂😅 (defo not cis)
PS I always like you pointing out the chromosomes are not as clearcut as many think😊
Kids biggest worry with being trans is losing friends and family. A lot of kids want to start transitioning socially but they can't or stop because of others.
I shudder to think of how many more there are of these.
I wish I knew about trans people sooner. I thought I had no option but to become a woman, and I nearly committed *that*. I wasn't even 10.
When I learned what being trans was, I was in denial, but I felt enough hope to keep me going.
Now, I'm slowly socially transitioning. (Fast changes distress me) I've barely made any progress within the last year, but I've still come so far. I'm way happier and have no regrets.
Best to you on your transition. Please know you're not alone.
Yay!!! Supporting you from here! I denied it for so long and then when I came out to people and social transitioned I felt so much better! Good luck on your journey!!!
Thank you for making this video, Jaime. Something you said really hit me (in a good way!). You said that as people are exposed to the language and information, more people understand how to explain how they've always felt, and to express their feelings and true selves (I'm paraphrasing, obviously). While I'm not trans, myself, I do identfy as queer. For many years, because I didn't have the language or information to explain my sexuality, I just called myself bisexual, for the simple reason that a person's gender has nothing to do with what I find attractive. In fact, the only way I even begin to process any level of thinking "hey, so-and-so is really beautiful" (a term I use for every gender) is after I've gotten to know them pretty well (I used to say I was attracted to intelligence and kind souls -- the closest to how I could describe it). I actually only figured out I'm demi/ace a few years ago, at the tender age of 42. Anyway, my point is, I totally agree that it's not because a person's understanding of themselves has changed (because it doesn't) that more people are coming out. It's because they're finally finding the names for what they've always been. So thank you for that. Sorry for hijacking your comments section. 🤪🥰

I think it's the same people (would be a hell of a coincidence otherwise)
It’s definitely a similar group, I saw ICMDA in there which is the International Christian Medical and Dental Association.
That seems extremely probable. It takes a certain mindset to go from "I don't understand this thing" to "therefore it must be bad" to "therefore my religion is against it" to "therefore I have to stop everyone else from doing this thing even if they're not part of my religion."

Hi Jamie, Nice to see you :D
My dysphoria wasn't noticeable until I started puberty. It was like Adam and Eve eating the apple and suddenly everything felt Wrong.
Objectively there is very little difference between male and female human bodies until puberty starts. And the differences that are there, aren't terribly important to most pre-pubescent children. When little kids express dysphoria, it's usually pretty much all about their social environment not letting them be themselves.
3 years being openly nonbinary and i'm pretty certain i still am nonbinary, i don't understand those ignorant dummies
2:09 "Truth in Science", about as truthful and honest of a name as the "Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine".
Or “…evidence-based Creation Science.” Sheesh.
Thank you for this video. As the parent of a trans young person I am disgusted that they sent this to schools - the sheer gall to think they could get away with it! It is hard enough for trans young people without grown adults targeting them and spreading misinformation about them. Luckily I doubt most schools would pay it any mind.
I've been blocking a lot of transphobes on Facebook. It's exhausting. Why can't they mind their own business?
TRANSPHOBES ARE SO UTTERLY EXHAUSTING IT DRIVES ME UP THE WALL
The idea that being trans goes away during puberty is just ludicrous to me. I didn't want to be stuck as my assigned gender from the time I was old enough to understand the difference in how people viewed boys vs. girls, and that feeling continued before, into puberty, which is in fact when I learned the language that allowed me to start describing that feeling. The feeling of not being my agab is still present after I've gone through puberty, and now that I can feel comfortable responding to that feeling by things like asking people to change what pronouns they use for me, changing how I dress, thinking of myself in a way that doesn't make me feel trapped or uncomfortable, I am much happier.
It's frustrating because puberty when dysphoria starts for most people... It's like they don't listen
*is when
Sorry typo
I’ve been saying, to me I view the issue of transphobia as a social issue, that (though slowly) is healing. I full heartedly have faith that things will turn out the right way and we’ll be moving towards a much more healthier, and excepting society, no matter how much time it will take. It’s always sad however that these “issues” have to always be uphill battles throughout virtually all of human history. That being said humans if good at anything else, they are a masterclass in turning other peoples personal choices, into your own problems. I’m sure someday we’ll get to the point where all this transphobic dribble people yell our is laughed at as nothing more but idiotic morons, clinging onto any research no matter how unreliable, to support a narrative that allows them to suppress the rights and freedoms of other peoples, simply because they don’t fully understand. Even though I know I’m genderfluid now, (I prefer she/her and they/them for the most part) even before I came to realize that, and even when I never knew transgender identities were a thing, I have always supported it. Immediate skepticism on something like this, is rooted in my mind in closed minded/unhealthy views of the world. Where you feel so strongly about a concept created by humanity, that you’d rather attempt to confirm your own believes/feelings, vs the feelings of other people, attempting to tell them what they feel is ether not real, or “insanity” just to confirm a believe of yours, instead of opening your mind to new possibilities, and new identities. A world that understands humanity as deeper thing than two binary genders, with roles assigned to them. It never truly has been, and never will be.
The argument about going against nature... doesn't that also argue against literally any medical intervention for any reason?
Or bout everything human created? Like plane? Cars? Aqueduc?
I started the road to getting my GRS, but I need 4 more months of my HRT and I think maybe 6 or more months of living as female in order to get it.
Tedious that they make you jump through hoops like that, but you're well on the way!
God, as someone who had to figure out they were genderfluid late in life, I think its annoying that they just want to demonize kids trying to figure out who they are.
My High School used to do Presentations lend by the teachers for every special day or month of the year. and my school ended up not doing the presentation for pride month because there was a heck load of Transphobic students the teachers even put on a documentary about a trans guy in my English class that din't go well and hearing all those horrible things my classmates said made me even more scared about coming out to my school ;-;
Another example of the comparison Jamie gave about the super tall people is, the idea that people have about cats. If the only cats people see are the aloof, a-holic, “my cat from hell” type, that’s all people are going to think, if they don’t have cats. I’ve lived with cats for about 30 years and they’ve been really sweet. The oldest of my current two is more anxious and introverted but she’s not aloof, asocial, or mean. I’ve known only two that were aloof and one just wasn’t socialized enough, my sister’s doing, and the other just wanted to be an outside cat. Eventually he got his wish

How

I am Canadian, living in a province with an openly transphobic government. In the lead up to a provincial election this October, an outside organization recently mailed out a “But think of the children” postcard filled with lies about the “transgender agenda” in schools. Someone I know keeps saying “Follow the money.” S**t like this is expensive.
(Whenever anyone asks me about the postcard, I’ve been directing them to one of your previous videos that picks apart the lies and misinformation that are commonly spread.)
Fellow Canadian in a con province. So sorry ❤ The fact that these bigots are the minority isn’t very comforting when they’re also the loudest and get pandered to because of it, but eventually they will be pushed into the holes they crawled out of and eventually all but disappear. Till then, we (the people it is safe for) just have to be louder
Fellow Canadian. I hear ya. It sucks.

@@rosieg6989 nah, Ontario. Trust me, Doug Ford is a pain in the rear.
@@Wildcatt79 interesting. I got the same propaganda-postcards but they were sent by Premier Higgs. I wonder if it’s a coordinated attack.
Lately online, (past 6 months) I've honestly seen A LOT of increase of alleged trans women, that say like... THE wildest anti-lesbian or anti-trans men stuff. Often followed by a "I can't be transphobic! I'm trans!". To me, this is easily a follow up to how they used to say the wildest stuff about trans women, in the "Oh, that's just how we are!". I know the community brushed them aside as "bad apples". But, tbh... it feels WAY too coincidental. As, the right uses moles *all* the time. And, with all the lies they are spreading, that *coincidentally*, JUST so happens to match the things said online... call me cynical. But I'm convinced we have a mole problem.
"grow out of when they go through puberty" umm puberty is where I realized I was trans! Absolutely hated the changes I was suffering from, and extremely jealous of everything the girls had and I didn't...
I have endometriosis and PMDD. If I didn't have HRT to stop my period & relieve some of the symptoms, I definitely would've killed myself already. HRT saves lives!
I have PMDD and I'm taking antidepressants for it, it helps a bit, makes me not want to end my life but I still think about it 😭

Unrelated to ur comment but nice pfp
What I don't get is it's perfectly fine to do cosmetic surgery, but it's not okay for people to change their body to the gender they really are?
Yeah, people even fine giving cosmetic surgeries to kids eith parental consent, but trans adults? Nah, not a chance.
Funny how women can make their chest larger, but trans women can't. Sadly, even removing the boobs is quite hard to get even for cis women. My friends aunt had brest cancer and still they barely agreed for her surgery, lol. and it's still not free. Even for cancer patients.
I've been seeing some studies about kids starting puberty earlier because of chemicals and other toxins. if this is true, I wonder what it means for transphobes and their opinion on puberty blockers when kids, particularly little girls, start developing earlier.
Oh, they allow them for cis kids, it's just the trans kids that have to suffer. That's already a thing in the UK.
They don't gaf cause they already see girls that way
Thwnkyou for going over the trailer, because as soon as I said something like that I would just toss it in the trash without reading the full pamphlet or watching the video. The key phrase of Transgender Agenda is an automatic red flag 🚩 for me
you said it at the same time as me "yes it is ideologically based transphobic ideology" its all it is and you know all the political stuff about it is just a smokescreen anyway "oh this group of marginalized people are an easy target we can use them to cover for our heinous behavior when being in power. What makes it worse is its just same shit different decade, black people first then gay people now trans people im so pissed off with "they are coming for your children" stuff. I would trust a black/gay/trans person with my kids far more than i would trust any person in government
They've done similar if not the same to ND folks too
i'm not surprised Truth in Science are going this route after they had their creationism and intelligent design "teacher packs" dismissed and even lambasted in the house of commons
I took puberty blockers almost *thirty* years ago, for the year before I transitioned.
I was a public school teacher (in the US) in the late 90s and early 00s; my mom was a teacher for more than 30 years. Neither of us got this memo. We just accepted the kids we were sent, and tried to teach them to be better adults (or, in mom’s case, math). There wasn’t time or energy for any of this agenda business. Teachers *still* don’t have time for this nonsense. I’m sorry this is happening. It’s insane.
Talking to transphobes about trans people is like talking to "alpha males" about women
"We have anecdotal evidence that... Children ask questions when they get home from school sometimes."
I don't think you're ready for parenthood if that's a prospect that keeps you up at night.
Not only are these doctors transphobic they have to be horrible doctors. What kind of doctor tells you 'if I can't do a blood test to prove it or get physical proof for it, it doesn't exist'? A terrible one. The ones who would tell you the pain is in your head cause there's nothing broken or who would tell women that they should just get over the perdio pain. Those people shouldn't allowed to be doctors.
The kind who think the Bible takes precedence over established science (the people in the video)
@@Sparx632 The bible says nothing about being transgender.
@@tealkerberus748 no but it’s their faith in god that has allowed them to reject science in favour of hurting people who are different and make them feel uncomfortable, this is where their transphobia stems from.
That letter sound like it is summarizing Abigail Shrier's book.
Same talking points. When contradicted by actual science, they just leave the conversation and keep repeating the same BS elsewhere -- the idea is that people who aren't entirely paying attention will remember their talking points because they've been repeated so often but not the actual evidence-based position
There is no trans agenda in schools, I know because I'm 14. There's only like, one openly trans kid at the whole school (I think) and she helped me find one of my classes at the start of the school year.
Because you are 14 you don't realize you are flooded with trans agenda. When I was 14 I hadn't realized a lot of things that nowadays in retrospective I understand, and that includes shit I was taught on schools. You might see it 20 years.

If they had to say they're professionals so many times, they are not professionals.
“The vulnerable need protection” I wonder how they feel about other minority groups
I'll share a story of another medical condition that could be felt but not seen, and how much suffering befell me because plenty of doctors refused to acknowledge it. How some physical things just don't show up on test, and as a professional ignoring it because of "no physical evidence" known other than self-reporting causes irreparable harm. That lack of people understanding a condition is not the lack of a condition. A story cis people can probably understand, relate to, and conceptualize easier than trans healthcare/stuff.
I had a nerve in my mid back that has something wrong with it, where it just sends horrific pain signals constantly. I spent 5 years going to doctors to get sent to physical therapy to get told by them that my pain clearly isn't muscular based, and the exercises shouldn't cause that pain. I had doctors keep talking about take me off my pain meds, which already was not enough to handle the pain and without it the pain was so much that it was hard to even think about anything other than the overwhelming pain. I stayed mostly immobile cause any movement irritated the nerve, so I end up with a bulging disc in my lower back three years into looking for a doctor that would do anything to help. I had X-ray, MRIs, some nerve test, etc. nothing showed up on those tests to show something was wrong. Five years & countless doctors to finally get a neurosurgeon to do an ablation on the nerve, right out of surgery I was able to stop the pain meds and move around just fine for the first time in years. FROM THE START I told doctor's it was obvious to me that it was nerve pain and I told them the ways to treat it (like the surgery I end up with 5 years later). Now I go in to get a shot in the mid-back where they couldn't cut near the spine, when I self-report to neurosurgeon stating that it's starting to hurt again, and (like now) the nerve grows back still in the same state (sending pain signals always) I'll have the surgery again simply by self-reporting my pain.
Now those five years I lost being immobile searching for a good doctor had caused problems: Bulging disc (now herniated), weight gain, muscle weakness, arthritis, and my asthma has gotten so bad I winded changing the bedsheets (before this ordeal I was rollerblading at a fast pace for 4 straight miles, regularly). Add in the relationship strain/loss, financial strain (including I couldn't work, plus no disability pay because doctors refused to acknowledge my pain was real.), the mental anguish of being in crippling pain for those years, and losing 5 years of my life in my twenties... there is not a price I can put on all that loss. The idea that someone with a medical degree is somehow and medical expert in any specific field is so false, even in related fields ("Pain-Management Specialist" was the title used by most of these doctors I seen).
It’s so heartbreaking that this is still relevant 😢 Sending so much love to you all 💜
Sweet jumpin' Jehosephat! My friend's daughter was depressed and wanted to (unalive) herself until she came out to her family as a trans woman. Her own mother saw her blossom into a happy, wonderful daughter who successfully graduated from University and is looking forward to her life now. She's not the only one by a long shot. But her family, neutral on the subject of transgender people, saw how much it improved her life to be her authentic self, and are now enthusiastically pro-trans rights. I saw her as a fairly young child (maybe 9 or 10) and that child was clearly miserable and lashing out in anger, even then. So, in conclusion: Stuff it, transphobes. Your fake science doesn't science.
misread this as "The Transgender Agenda is COOL" and was like Hell Yeah
I'm not sure, but I seem to remember "Truth in Science" also expousing "scientific creationism".
