Two spirited or 2S is a part of Indigenous culture for people who are partly feminine and partly masculine, or are outside the gender binary as a whole. They take up different roles in their community than their assigned sex at birth. Edit to add, they are extremely respected in indigenous culture and are rooted in Indigenous history. Also @fabiosa made an excellent point about this term that it's based on a European perspective about gender, and it was recently coined, please read that comment.
Native American/Indigenous culture apparently had a very "liberal" view on gender and identity, with some cultures having many more genders than just male or female. If my memory is correct, apparently Indonesia or some place close has a similar culture, with many genders and no clearly defined man or woman genders Very interesting how that is. See, if it wasn't a made up thing, then you'd think that every culture would see it the same way, and yet it doesn't. Makes you think that maybe, gender is a social construct? Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@jmvr the reason why now there is transphobia (at least where I am from) is because of colonialism and how the British and the French brought their views on gender, and since they sought out to eliminate indigenous folks, they purposefully tried to punish two-spirited people as well as indigenous people as a whole. Each culture has certain beliefs, but in many cultures, before colonisation, being transgender, non-binary, two spirited or gender diverse was respected and even celebrated.
Just to clarify, two spirit isn't really an individual who has both male and female aspects, it's actually very removed from the European idea of a sexual binary. It's very removed and is not very easily defined as its a catch all term that was made in 1990 and has received backlash because the name is misleading. It covers a lot mutually exclusive, and mutually inclusive 'genders'. Again, not so much gender in the sense we think of now. They frequently had a religious aspect to their duty in their communities and their 'gender' is inextricably tied to their culture. Though they didn't always have a religious aspect, some were well respected chiefs, warriors, farmers, speakers etc. Some were discriminated in their communities and heavily oppressed and/or suppressed. And in some communities it was literally not a big deal, no special roles, literally just some person. Not trying to say anything mean! Just clarifying since the name is pretty misleading but it is a catch all term made pretty recently.

Not-so-fun-fact: The “litter boxes in classrooms” story actually started because in the USA, it was discussed (I’m not sure if anyone ever implemented it) that teachers could have litter boxes in their classrooms IN THE EVENT OF A SCHOOL SHOOTING/LOCKDOWN.
Anyone who's ever worked in a school knows litter boxes would absolutely be against code and would never be allowed to happen. Everyone who says it happens is always getting their info from "my uncle's cousin". It's so ridiculous
Yes. A Republicans suggested teachers keep a bag/box of cat litter in case of a school pew pewing. It didn't happen, but other Republicans took that and decided to use it for their transphobic stories.
it was also for the purpose of service/esa animals in classrooms! there was a school (i forget where) that implemented litter boxes because of a student who needed their cat ESA in order to attend their classes comfortably
One person who regrets their choice doesn't have the right to speak for everyone else. They have the right to say, "This is my choice, it didn't work out for me the way I thought it would, I regret my choice ". But they don't get to speak for anyone else!
seriously. i find it so stupid how someone can be so confident in speaking on behalf of all people of a community in general, especially one they no longer wish to be apart of. “this is how i felt, therefore everyone feels the exact same and they’re lying if they say otherwise.” no ONE person can speak on behalf of an entire community. there will always be variables and outliers with any ideology, especially one as broad as queer topics.

@@felvkitties8 as a neighbour from the north I hope things go well in the US. Queer and trans folks who vote for Trump, as well as immigrants, women and other minorities who vote for Trump always confuse me. Just because YOU vote for him doesn't mean he'll actually like you. As Click has said before, it's just the people voting for the leopards eating faces party and being surprised when said leopards indeed eat your face. All this to say, I'm sending my best wishes!!!
Part of that problem is that a lot of people don't know, nor care to learn, what transitioning actually involves. They hear "transition" and only think gender affirming surgeries.
What's very telling is that when I reassure people of this fact, the vast majority completely ignore me and just keep fuming about surgeries and hormones. I'd say that this is because transness makes a lot of cis people inherently uncomfy, period, but they realize that they can't argue against a person dressing how they please, going by the pronouns that feel right, and going by the name or nickname they prefer without starting to sound like a wacko authoritarian.
Ethnicity and race are something you inherit from your parents, whilst sex is something that isn't 100% determined until you're done being a fetus. In fact, "transracial", before being coopted by racist and transphobic weirdos, was usually used by people of one race who'd been adopted by parents of another, who felt they could no longer fully identify with their heritage because they hadn't grown up with the culture and community.
29:46 If the bible says men can only wear men's clothes and women can only wear women's clothes then that still doesn't have anything to do with trans people because the restriction is based on gender, not sex.
It is also an extremely old work of fiction, so like... it doesen't have any say in anything with trans people nor our modern understanding of gender based on that alone.
I just recently figured out that I was trans (I had known that I wasn't cis for a long time), and part of my realization was from watching your channel Thank you for helping me realize who I really am
I understand the opinion that debating right bigots is pointless, but I disagree. There are people forced to be in those audiences for their safety. I grew up in a very right wing conservative household and without seeing progressives/liberals debating and arguing against the conservatives that my family worshipped, I don't know that I would have gotten the courage to leave.
Yeah, of course I’m a person on the left, but I never watch a Ben Shapiro debate because maybe Ben’s actually gonna change his mind for the first time in 10 years ✋, it’s always about seeing people who are brave enough to stand up to him in hopes of touching any others in the audience. Of course like Roly was saying most Ben Shapiro fans are too far gone to have their minds changed, but Ben does those talks with auditoriums of impressionable college kids who still have time to come around
@NekolatheDruid First of all, I'm so happy you found the courage to leave❤ and second, you are absolutely right. There are kids everyday sitting in front of these shows who cannot express their feelings and we owe it to them to keep talking back and correcting misinformation.

I'd bet that the person most uncomfortable with Piers Morgan identifying as a black lesbian would be Piers Morgan. That's why this "oh, people can call themselves whatever they want" thing isn't a real problem.
Even the hypothetical person who only does it to gain some kind of supposed perk or benefit will, I predict, eventually fall apart psychologically when compelled to "prove" themselves and see the bit through to the bitter end. Most people cannot tolerate cognitive dissonance, and most people also can't ignore the sting that comes from being chronically mislabeled or misperceived.
@@dinosaysrawr Someone faking an identity probably would have a hard time being taken seriously, but I think it'd be worse for them if they _were_ taken seriously. I mean, there are real benefits to being perceived as a cis man, and people believed I was a cis man, and it was awful. Social pressure can be strong enough to get you to stick with an identity that feels wrong, but it's a deeply unpleasant experience. Like, it's not a clever life hack or something. You're not pulling a fast one.
@@aspidoscelis , it's definitely not a clever life hack! The people who think that it'd be easy-peasy to just pretend to be a black, autistic, depressed, transgender lesbian for the sweeeeeeet, sweeeeeeet benefits grossly underestimate the social, psychological, and potentially, physical and/or legal suffering that would come from trying to keep up that ruse. Much like uretheral sounding, it'll be the rare person who'll be willing to tolerate it, so there's no need for all of the disingenuous fretting about the rare person who'll try to cheat the system in that way.

I´m often misgendered, apparently because my hair is long - so I´m looking forward to getting on T and hopefully getting a more masculine shape and deeper voice, so I can just turn around and ask "who are you calling miss?" I used to doubt my love for my long hair, because long hair was always so tied to femininity. But these days, both my grandmothers have what used to be a "boy cut" and they're obviously still gorgeous ladies. It still stings a little, being misgendered, but when I´m told it's because of my long hair, it just leaves me chuckling cuz that's so silly.
My daughter, myself, my stepmom have all been misgendered because we are tall. Only one of us is trans, and the other 2 have short hair. People misgender for the strangest reasons.
I have long hair and used to paint my nails. I've been called "ma'am" more times than I can count. I'm a cis man. Some people just make quick assumptions based on random traits. Style yourself however you feel comfortable.
I'd love to know when that Shapiro clip was aired... because all children, regardless of gender, have been accepted into Scouting for almost a decade at this point. My almost 11 year old daughter has been in Cub Scouts since Kindergarten, and her den leader (who is a woman) is the Scoutmaster for an all-girls Scout Troop. My middle child is also a girl and has been in Cub Scouts since Kindergarten, her original den leader was a woman, and she's one of two girls in her den. We have one den that is half girls in our Pack, and our newest group of Kindergarteners are all girls. My kids and I also recently went to an event for both Troop and Cub level Scouts that had several all-girl Troops present, and at the Cub level the gender split seemed fairly close to even. Basically, unless that clip is 12+ years old, Shapiro is a serious moron. It's not even been Boy Scouts for nearly a decade, it's Scouts BSA and being rebranded as Scouting America!
My absolute favorite thing on the internet right now is a clip from a jubilee video (don't watch it on their channel, find it somewhere else) where a man goes up to Ben Shapiro, gets complimented on how manly he is by Ben, then reveals that hes a trans man, before doing the same thing to Shapiro that Shapiro does to everyone else, with the fast talking, interrupting, bringing things around to whatever topic he wants to talk about, TELLS Shapiro that's what hes doing, then just keeps going and continuing to make B.S. look like the idiotic bigot he is. It's *glorious.*
Yay- a Jamie and Roly collab is just what I needed! The state I was born in- but no longer live in (thank goodness) -passed a policy that you can’t change your birth certificate name and gender marker anymore after I’ve spent years trying and I’m seriously depressed. Glad you two exist and help us all feel a little better about things!
Same with me, I’m adopted but was born in texas so unfortunately I have to follow their laws and stuff. On your birth certificate you can’t even fully change it, it still has my deadname in the same place and then in tiny print in the corner it says “amended to _” like bro. I don’t even think you can change your sex on the birth certificate but I haven’t looked into that yet
@@Nic0Dr4ws Yep- was born in Texas as well. I’m sorry you’re in this same boat with me, but no matter what a piece of paper says, we are who we say we are! Unfortunately you can no longer change your name or sex marker on birth certificates. 😞 The Texas Department of Health and Human Services quietly changed their policy not very long ago, and the forms no longer have the option anymore. I was denied twice and given BS reasons-spent a good chunk of change on lawyer. Even got a court order from a judge in September. All to find out it’s not possible anymore. But what do they know? We know the truth, and they can’t take that from us no matter what policies they pass. 💪And remember-policies can change.

And I'm taller than at least 3 of my cis male friends and within an 1-2 inch(es) of my bf, my brother in law, and many of my friends. My bf comfortably finds women's shoes while my sister and my grandma struggle (my cis grandma used to buy men's shoes bc she couldn't find women's).. Yeah, those arguments are so idiotic.
I hate the “I identify as (something absurd)” jokes or gotchas because it’s a clear mockery of the LGBTQ+ community. The difference between a trans person identifying as their gender and a cis white man identifying as a black lesbian, is the trans person genuinely knows themselves to be their gender. Piers Morgan is making a joke out of queer people, he doesn’t genuinely believe he’s black or a lesbian. Queer people’s identities are in good faith, these kinds of jokes aren’t, they’re just queerphobic and racist in the case.
and if they abjectly refuse to understand it and try to boil it down to chromosomes, well what's a child with XXY chromosomes then? boy or girl? the child knows but we're not allowed to go by what the individual knows to be true about themselves, so what do their chromosomes say?
@@SuperJJParker I mean, culturally, yes? If they believe they share a cultural identity with the local black population, then go ahead, I've seen my friends do it. I mean, if you AREN'T actually black, then you will suffer social consequences from doing this, Try again.
It’s so funny you mentioned the migraine thing - I get migraines often, and I often imagine how good drilling a hole in my skull would feel…I think it’s just imagining the release of pressure. Migraines suck.

one of my trick or treaters on Thursday said he was gender fluid(but physically looked female). I still find that one confusing so I asked them what it meant to them, and they explained then I found out they were a big TF fan, after I told them I had had an ACE Decepticon Insignia T shirt printed for the new movie, which they wanted to see and we got talking about it happily. Nice to know I'm the not only member of the rainbow community in my area, you can never tell. Happy Aro/Ace Transformers Fan \m/
"Look at your feet by the way" I didn't get that. And now that you've explained it. Now I understand why Philosophy Tube likes showing off her fancy shoes. I never once clocked anything abnormal about her feet so it's really wild that people think that's some sort of flag.
As Steve Hofstetter once said "3% of people who transition regret it. But 3% of people who win the lottery also regret that. Which tells me that 3% of people will never f-ing be happy."
As a cis woman with higher than normal testosterone levels, sometimes I fantasize about going up to like, a stranger on a streetcorner who is being transphobic and just be like "Oh you can always tell? What am I?" and then just turning whatever argument they make against them over and over and over and change their answer back and forth until *they're* the ones getting frustrated and looking stupid, and also just walking away without giving them any definite answer about my sex or gender, because I want them to be haunted by that conversation.
I'm so disappointed in Peter Dinklage for not speaking up during that segment. SO disappointed. I liked him, I loved listening to him give lectures - but this... this does change things. Even if he doesn't have these transphobic views himself, the fact that he never called it out and indeed just laughed along with them is incredibly disappointing.

Doubt I'll ever understand just how Piers managed to get to where he is. Just see him as being at the same level of ridiculous and idiotic as Trump. There's just no critical thinking, no comprehension of the world or other people's situations.

My (cis) grandad actually took oestrogen as part of his cancer treatment. The same drug can be used in different doses by many different groups of people for different things (sometimes the side effects for one usage are useful for treating something else). Yes, even on a low dose, he did have some minor physiological changes including increased growth of breast tissue and head hair. He didn't become a trans woman, because of the hormone treatment; trans women are prescribed similar medications, because they are trans. Also, I'm pretty sure that the Boy Scouts of America now allows girls (or they were at least considering it, in line with some other Scouting organisations around the world).
Gotta throw in my two cents on Rolly’s “Why are you debating Ben Shapiro?” I got asked a similar question from some former students of mine for why I go so hard calling out the bigotry I saw from mutuals online. They asked me after messaging me to say thank you, because I said what they were wanting to say. I told them: that’s why I do it. I don’t debate people’s hateful views because I want to change their minds, I debate them for the untold numbers watching. So that anyone watching knows what I stand for, and that they have a safe place with me. And for anyone watching who might feel split between two viewpoints; their minds I might change. Often these ‘discussions’ are seen as pointless for all involved because no one’s going to budge, but they forget about all the people listening, learning, and evaluating the merits of each argument.

Little story from work, I got called the F-slur by a person I caught stealing. All I did was agree with everything she yelled at me right out the door! I said to my coworkers, "Is that all she's got? Cuz if so, she's gotta get more creative."
Something interesting is it is generally agreed that people with cancer should seek the treatments medicine suggests when people have faked cancer or have been misdiagnosed with it. People recognize how important treatment is for the people who do need it and recognize that they are the most likely to receive care. They see that not receiving the necessary medical care can be fatal. In no way saying being trans is cancerous, a lot of these points make sense for trans people. Trans people who need medical assistance are demeaned for the treatments they need, and the affects of not getting can be fatal.
There was an interview I saw of a trans woman who stated she wouldn't have sex with a trans man because "that's disgusting, I want a real man," and then they ask you if that's transphobic as a gotcha question. I said it was clearly transphobic, and I got a ton of replies saying mainly three things: "Your logic is so circular" (Clearly not, if you're cis or trans and you're transphobic, you're transphobic. Straightforward) "The community/allies end up destroying one another" (Guess I have to defend every single trans person's position to an impossible standard) "So now we have to want to sleep with trans people to not be labeled transphobic" (If someone doesn't want to have sex with anyone based on genital preference, that's okay, but to label trans guys as gross and desire only "real men," is blatantly transphobic)
I love the "don't be against the community" crowd defending ppl who are against the community, like, how come they don't extend that to the first person, in this case that trans women. It's hat whole "are people not allowed to have options" when someone states an opinion on an opinion, I guess only first statements are allowed, you can say whatever you want as long as its first, then anyone replying is the problem....

Most detransitioners do so from a lack of support from family, friends &/or society in general. I’m sure some do as a result of a “mistake” on their part, but as Jamie said, many end up retransitioning again at some point because they’ve realized that they really are trans.
All 3 of my trans friends are so much happier being the gender they were born to be. Being cis-gender, I am a huge trans ally, and part if it is because of them. They are amazing people in my life.
8:28 - A friend of mine (whom I've known since high school, before he started transitioning), thought about transitioning for 10 years. Since his journey started, he is much happier and hasn't S.H'd for many years. He still has emotional dips, and maybe some dysphoria, but he's much better and continues to grow.
50:30 Trans boy here. I'm in boy scouts. I'm not out yet, but they've let women into scouts anyways, so I'm in an all girls troop. His argument isn't even remotely valid-
Another trans issue (that Buck Angel actually brought to light in my world and speaks about a lot) is the denial of healthcare because of all this leads to death. There’s a whole bunch of trans people that haven’t had surgery or full surgery and still need things like Pap smears, mammograms and testicular cancer screenings even though they present as the opposite sex. An example is the death of Robert Eads. He was refused care because doctors were worried he would put their practice in jeopardy and he got ovarian cancer and died. I really recommend the documentary “Southern Comfort”.
I can honestly say that I see a huge huge difference in my son after he was able to finally get top surgery done be on testosterone and have his full hysterectomy. Before he did any of that he was literally suicidal, depressed all the time, didn't wanna do anything. Now he lives four hours away from me has his own apartment by himself and is doing really good.
I find the discussion over gender-affirming surgeries and the regret interesting because boob jobs are gender-affirming surgeries. It's for the woman to feel better about themselves in their own bodies. Or nose jobs. Or literally ANY "unnecessary" cosmetic surgery. There are men/women who regret having cosmetic surgeries done and reverse them as well, but no one has an issue with that. It's very odd.

Before pink for boys and blue for girls there was also time when young children all just wore dresses (i think white?) And all were dressed the same up to a certain age. Im not 100% sure but I think its only very recent that young children are being dressed differently based on their sex
The most ancient traces of gendered clothing for babies and children can be found in ancient Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. Artifacts and depictions from this period show distinct differences in attire boys and girls.
Depending on the culture, children were dressed depending on a lot of factors. Gender expressions have also fluctuated a ton throughout human history, so certain articles deemed "masculine" at one time/place are deemed "feminine" at others and vice versa. An easy example for "nonbinary" childhood gender expression was when infant mortality rates were extremely high and surviving infants were dressed in, well, dresses, to help save clothing material but also for other reasons. It's amusing whenever people try pointing back to past gendered cultures as if that disproves the changes in clothing trends, or to prove that "there are only 2 genders"
@@kevinturner9549 The problem comes when you assert that the act of identifying makes it true which is obviously nonsense. Just because someone thinks they are something doesn't mean that is what they are. It is possible that they are what they identify as but it isn't the individuals act of identifying that causes that to be true.

7:52 this guy had a lot more going on than being "trans". If he was trans at all. It's like some people who keep getting cosmetic surgeries to fix things that they don't like, thinking it will make them happy. But it doesn't and they continue getting surgeries. To my mind, they would have been better off using that money towards a good therapist to get to the root of why they don't like their bodies before having risky surgery. And any time you go under anesthesia there's a risk of not coming out of it, and the more times you do, the higher the risk each time. Joan Rivers comes to mind.
"It's not been going on that long" that sentiment drives me insane. its so sad, because the reason people think that is literally because of the Nazis.

Two spirited or 2S is a part of Indigenous culture for people who are partly feminine and partly masculine, or are outside the gender binary as a whole. They take up different roles in their community than their assigned sex at birth.
Edit to add, they are extremely respected in indigenous culture and are rooted in Indigenous history. Also @fabiosa made an excellent point about this term that it's based on a European perspective about gender, and it was recently coined, please read that comment.
Native American/Indigenous culture apparently had a very "liberal" view on gender and identity, with some cultures having many more genders than just male or female. If my memory is correct, apparently Indonesia or some place close has a similar culture, with many genders and no clearly defined man or woman genders
Very interesting how that is. See, if it wasn't a made up thing, then you'd think that every culture would see it the same way, and yet it doesn't. Makes you think that maybe, gender is a social construct? Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔
That sounds cool. And yet phobes will still say that Trans people are recent 'trend' 😆
@@jmvr the reason why now there is transphobia (at least where I am from) is because of colonialism and how the British and the French brought their views on gender, and since they sought out to eliminate indigenous folks, they purposefully tried to punish two-spirited people as well as indigenous people as a whole. Each culture has certain beliefs, but in many cultures, before colonisation, being transgender, non-binary, two spirited or gender diverse was respected and even celebrated.
@@artheenbyrogue804 yeah, it also doesn't help that the colonists wiped out most of the population of indigenous people in those areas
Just to clarify, two spirit isn't really an individual who has both male and female aspects, it's actually very removed from the European idea of a sexual binary.
It's very removed and is not very easily defined as its a catch all term that was made in 1990 and has received backlash because the name is misleading.
It covers a lot mutually exclusive, and mutually inclusive 'genders'.
Again, not so much gender in the sense we think of now.
They frequently had a religious aspect to their duty in their communities and their 'gender' is inextricably tied to their culture.
Though they didn't always have a religious aspect, some were well respected chiefs, warriors, farmers, speakers etc.
Some were discriminated in their communities and heavily oppressed and/or suppressed.
And in some communities it was literally not a big deal, no special roles, literally just some person.
Not trying to say anything mean! Just clarifying since the name is pretty misleading but it is a catch all term made pretty recently.
men in the 1980s wore crop tops and short shorts but now they’re hating on women who cover up more now. make that make sense
Men in the 18th century wore high heels, tights, make up, wigs, jewels. I mean aristocrats, not everybody but still. And pink was a ''manly'' color. Those social norms make no sense anyway

Not-so-fun-fact: The “litter boxes in classrooms” story actually started because in the USA, it was discussed (I’m not sure if anyone ever implemented it) that teachers could have litter boxes in their classrooms IN THE EVENT OF A SCHOOL SHOOTING/LOCKDOWN.
Anyone who's ever worked in a school knows litter boxes would absolutely be against code and would never be allowed to happen. Everyone who says it happens is always getting their info from "my uncle's cousin". It's so ridiculous
Yes. A Republicans suggested teachers keep a bag/box of cat litter in case of a school pew pewing. It didn't happen, but other Republicans took that and decided to use it for their transphobic stories.
it was also for the purpose of service/esa animals in classrooms! there was a school (i forget where) that implemented litter boxes because of a student who needed their cat ESA in order to attend their classes comfortably
One person who regrets their choice doesn't have the right to speak for everyone else. They have the right to say, "This is my choice, it didn't work out for me the way I thought it would, I regret my choice ". But they don't get to speak for anyone else!
seriously. i find it so stupid how someone can be so confident in speaking on behalf of all people of a community in general, especially one they no longer wish to be apart of. “this is how i felt, therefore everyone feels the exact same and they’re lying if they say otherwise.”

I think people are hearing that young kids are transitioning (like social transition and hormone blockers) and assuming they're getting surgeries
Part of that problem is that a lot of people don't know, nor care to learn, what transitioning actually involves. They hear "transition" and only think gender affirming surgeries.
@ Exactly. People hear someone transitioned and automatically assume they've had their genitalia removed even though that's not that case for most
What's very telling is that when I reassure people of this fact, the vast majority completely ignore me and just keep fuming about surgeries and hormones. I'd say that this is because transness makes a lot of cis people inherently uncomfy, period, but they realize that they can't argue against a person dressing how they please, going by the pronouns that feel right, and going by the name or nickname they prefer without starting to sound like a wacko authoritarian.
Spot on, and then they get told otherwise but don't want to admit they're wrong, so cling to fake arguments
exactly! no kid is getting gender affirming surgeries, and yet they say that many kids are getting gender affirming surgeries
Ethnicity and race are something you inherit from your parents, whilst sex is something that isn't 100% determined until you're done being a fetus. In fact, "transracial", before being coopted by racist and transphobic weirdos, was usually used by people of one race who'd been adopted by parents of another, who felt they could no longer fully identify with their heritage because they hadn't grown up with the culture and community.
Sex is realized at conception, simple fact.
@@kevinturner9549nope, coward
29:46 If the bible says men can only wear men's clothes and women can only wear women's clothes then that still doesn't have anything to do with trans people because the restriction is based on gender, not sex.
It is also an extremely old work of fiction, so like... it doesen't have any say in anything with trans people nor our modern understanding of gender based on that alone.
Maybe we shouldn't base our entire modern civilization on an 100+ year old book, methinks
and remember, Jesus wore closer to dresses than suits. Also can't wear different fabrics by the same logic

I´m often misgendered, apparently because my hair is long - so I´m looking forward to getting on T and hopefully getting a more masculine shape and deeper voice, so I can just turn around and ask "who are you calling miss?"
I used to doubt my love for my long hair, because long hair was always so tied to femininity. But these days, both my grandmothers have what used to be a "boy cut" and they're obviously still gorgeous ladies. It still stings a little, being misgendered, but when I´m told it's because of my long hair, it just leaves me chuckling cuz that's so silly.
Yeah, my childhood best friend is a cis woman who had very long hair when she was little and people regularly mistook her for a boy.
My daughter, myself, my stepmom have all been misgendered because we are tall. Only one of us is trans, and the other 2 have short hair.
People misgender for the strangest reasons.

I'd love to know when that Shapiro clip was aired... because all children, regardless of gender, have been accepted into Scouting for almost a decade at this point. My almost 11 year old daughter has been in Cub Scouts since Kindergarten, and her den leader (who is a woman) is the Scoutmaster for an all-girls Scout Troop. My middle child is also a girl and has been in Cub Scouts since Kindergarten, her original den leader was a woman, and she's one of two girls in her den. We have one den that is half girls in our Pack, and our newest group of Kindergarteners are all girls. My kids and I also recently went to an event for both Troop and Cub level Scouts that had several all-girl Troops present, and at the Cub level the gender split seemed fairly close to even.
Basically, unless that clip is 12+ years old, Shapiro is a serious moron. It's not even been Boy Scouts for nearly a decade, it's Scouts BSA and being rebranded as Scouting America!
All of his talking points are stuck in the past.
Shapiro isn't known for his grip on reality.
My absolute favorite thing on the internet right now is a clip from a jubilee video (don't watch it on their channel, find it somewhere else) where a man goes up to Ben Shapiro, gets complimented on how manly he is by Ben, then reveals that hes a trans man, before doing the same thing to Shapiro that Shapiro does to everyone else, with the fast talking, interrupting, bringing things around to whatever topic he wants to talk about, TELLS Shapiro that's what hes doing, then just keeps going and continuing to make B.S. look like the idiotic bigot he is.

@@FIatts ok I have a genuine question for you, why do you watch Jamie? You say you're a TERF as well. I highly doubt anyone here will listen to your opinion, so I'd suggest to be more kind and accepting.
i love when people ask me what my gender is, I always just reply "what ever you want it to be" then if needed I wink at them
"so what are you anyway?"
"yes 💅"
The best duo! I not too good at french but I think Roly said something about “the computer” and Jamie answered “how are you”😂
Re: "The Transpo Team": I think they were also trying to revive the old stereotype from the 1940s and earlier to the effect that women can't drive cars very well. The reference to a stick shift is what makes me think this.
i am detransitioned! i tried to transition quite young, so i didnt get anything done (not even hormone blockers). i'm a cis girl & would NEVER say any bullshit about transitioning because my experience is so unique.
Happy for you having explored who you are and found yourself. Too many go out screaming to the world that it didn't work for them so that must be the same for everyone, like gender dysphoria is a telemarketing scam that they fell for and now they need to warn everyone else from it.
I love you two together. Perfect combo of entertainment
Love seeing this collab so much, you guys bounce off each other so well
Ok, if Piers Morgan isn't stupid, I must say that he does a very convincing act.
Nah he's not stupid. Unfortunetly he's very smart and knows exactly what he is doing. He's just an asshole
Doubt I'll ever understand just how Piers managed to get to where he is. Just see him as being at the same level of ridiculous and idiotic as Trump. There's just no critical thinking, no comprehension of the world or other people's situations. He's like that slow kid at school that can't wrap their head around the fact teachers are there because it's their job and not because their parents send them to school each day like them
This is why I have nothing left. 20 years of hiding me and what a fantastic time to accept me for who I have wanted to be. And we have these prix so happy in their lives free of doubt.... why now? We need more of you two helping people that can be helped, and I love you keep going but I do wish we could talk about this 20 years ago

Q+ covers it though it's a shortened version of the whole thing
My (cis) grandad actually took oestrogen as part of his cancer treatment. The same drug can be used in different doses by many different groups of people for different things (sometimes the side effects for one usage are useful for treating something else).
Yes, even on a low dose, he did have some minor physiological changes including increased growth of breast tissue and head hair.
He didn't become a trans woman, because of the hormone treatment; trans women are prescribed similar medications, because they are trans.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the Boy Scouts of America now allows girls (or they were at least considering it, in line with some other Scouting organisations around the world).
i guarantee you the girl at 17:00 would be uncomfortable if her friend came out as lesbian, bi or pan. like “omg do you have a crush on me??!!!”
Gotta throw in my two cents on Rolly’s “Why are you debating Ben Shapiro?” I got asked a similar question from some former students of mine for why I go so hard calling out the bigotry I saw from mutuals online. They asked me after messaging me to say thank you, because I said what they were wanting to say. I told them: that’s why I do it. I don’t debate people’s hateful views because I want to change their minds, I debate them for the untold numbers watching. So that anyone watching knows what I stand for, and that they have a safe place with me. And for anyone watching who might feel split between two viewpoints; their minds I might change. Often these ‘discussions’ are seen as pointless for all involved because no one’s going to budge, but they forget about all the people listening, learning, and evaluating the merits of each argument.
the monarch interview clip drives me insane. she's wailing repeating "no one cares!!", which actively proves how much she cares about it. wild that the host had to try to reel her back (unsuccessfully from what it seems)

Just letting everyone know if not already, 13:08 is a known right-wing agitator that has partnered up with further right-wing people such as tucker and promotes dr-gs
If I see it correctly the guy from 12:45 is also a rightwing grifter. Samantha Lux did an item on that guy last week. He pretended to be doing a "social experiment".
Little story from work, I got called the F-slur by a person I caught stealing. All I did was agree with everything she yelled at me right out the door! I said to my coworkers, "Is that all she's got? Cuz if so, she's gotta get more creative."
Something interesting is it is generally agreed that people with cancer should seek the treatments medicine suggests when people have faked cancer or have been misdiagnosed with it. People recognize how important treatment is for the people who do need it and recognize that they are the most likely to receive care. They see that not receiving the necessary medical care can be fatal. In no way saying being trans is cancerous, a lot of these points make sense for trans people. Trans people who need medical assistance are demeaned for the treatments they need, and the affects of not getting can be fatal.
There was an interview I saw of a trans woman who stated she wouldn't have sex with a trans man because "that's disgusting, I want a real man," and then they ask you if that's transphobic as a gotcha question.
I said it was clearly transphobic, and I got a ton of replies saying mainly three things:
"Your logic is so circular"
(Clearly not, if you're cis or trans and you're transphobic, you're transphobic. Straightforward)
"The community/allies end up destroying one another"
(Guess I have to defend every single trans person's position to an impossible standard)
"So now we have to want to sleep with trans people to not be labeled transphobic"
(If someone doesn't want to have sex with anyone based on genital preference, that's okay, but to label trans guys as gross and desire only "real men," is blatantly transphobic)
I love the "don't be against the community" crowd defending ppl who are against the community, like, how come they don't extend that to the first person, in this case that trans women. It's hat whole "are people not allowed to have options" when someone states an opinion on an opinion, I guess only first statements are allowed, you can say whatever you want as long as its first, then anyone replying is the problem....
Um, trans men are women. Truth isn't transphobic.
@@kevinturner9549"Are women"
Friendly reminder: Kevin Turner is using Oxford Languages for his definition of a woman (an adult female human being), and he will reject any other definition
He used this definition because it's the first thing that pops up on Google when you type "define woman" and he will call this dictionary "THE dictionary"
But he chooses to ignore that his dictionary has this in it as well:
"GENDER
1. the male sex or the female sex, especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones, or one of a range of other identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female
SEX
2. either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions
GENDER IDENTITY
a person's innate sense of their gender (chiefly used in contexts where it is contrasted with the sex registered for them at birth).
TRANSGENDER
denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity does not correspond with the sex registered for them at birth.
CISGENDER
denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex registered for them at birth; not transgender
TRANS WOMAN
a person who was registered as male at birth but who lives and identifies as a woman; a transgender woman
HIJRA
(in South Asia) a person who was registered as male at birth but who identifies as female or as neither male nor female.
AGENDER
denoting or relating to a person who does not identify as having a gender
BIGENDER
denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity encompasses two genders
PANGENDER
denoting or relating to a nonbinary person whose gender identity encompasses multiple genders, which may be experienced simultaneously or in a fluid, fluctuating manner.
NONBINARY
2. denoting, having, or relating to a gender identity that does not conform to traditional binary beliefs about gender, which indicate that all individuals are exclusively either male or female
GENDER-FLUID
denoting or relating to a person who does not identify as having a single unchanging gender.
GENDERQUEER
denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity does not correspond to conventional binary gender distinctions.
THIRD GENDER
a category of people who do not identify as male or female, but rather as neither, both, or a combination of male and female genders."

Most detransitioners do so from a lack of support from family, friends &/or society in general. I’m sure some do as a result of a “mistake” on their part, but as Jamie said, many end up retransitioning again at some point because they’ve realized that they really are trans.
We actually don't know, there are not enough studies to prove that.

All 3 of my trans friends are so much happier being the gender they were born to be. Being cis-gender, I am a huge trans ally, and part if it is because of them. They are amazing people in my life.
If we somehow developed a Time Machine for the people that want to live in the 50’s the republicans would call it woke and keep complaining online
8:28 - A friend of mine (whom I've known since high school, before he started transitioning), thought about transitioning for 10 years. Since his journey started, he is much happier and hasn't S.H'd for many years. He still has emotional dips, and maybe some dysphoria, but he's much better and continues to grow.

Oh, the dynamic duo roasting idiots, nice!
Another trans issue (that Buck Angel actually brought to light in my world and speaks about a lot) is the denial of healthcare because of all this leads to death. There’s a whole bunch of trans people that haven’t had surgery or full surgery and still need things like Pap smears, mammograms and testicular cancer screenings even though they present as the opposite sex. An example is the death of Robert Eads. He was refused care because doctors were worried he would put their practice in jeopardy and he got ovarian cancer and died. I really recommend the documentary “Southern Comfort”.
I can honestly say that I see a huge huge difference in my son after he was able to finally get top surgery done be on testosterone and have his full hysterectomy. Before he did any of that he was literally suicidal, depressed all the time, didn't wanna do anything. Now he lives four hours away from me has his own apartment by himself and is doing really good.

I find the discussion over gender-affirming surgeries and the regret interesting because boob jobs are gender-affirming surgeries. It's for the woman to feel better about themselves in their own bodies. Or nose jobs. Or literally ANY "unnecessary" cosmetic surgery. There are men/women who regret having cosmetic surgeries done and reverse them as well, but no one has an issue with that. It's very odd.

Before pink for boys and blue for girls there was also time when young children all just wore dresses (i think white?) And all were dressed the same up to a certain age. Im not 100% sure but I think its only very recent that young children are being dressed differently based on their sex
The most ancient traces of
gendered clothing for babies and children can be found in ancient Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. Artifacts and depictions from this period show distinct differences in attire boys and girls.
Depending on the culture, children were dressed depending on a lot of factors. Gender expressions have also fluctuated a ton throughout human history, so certain articles deemed "masculine" at one time/place are deemed "feminine" at others and vice versa. An easy example for "nonbinary" childhood gender expression was when infant mortality rates were extremely high and surviving infants were dressed in, well, dresses, to help save clothing material but also for other reasons.
It's amusing whenever people try pointing back to past gendered cultures as if that disproves the changes in clothing trends, or to prove that "there are only 2 genders"
@cjbird446 What you mentioned had nothing to do with chosen non binary gender expression lol it has everything to do with poverty and scarcity.
"if you can be trans, I can be a black lesbian" is the same as going "if horses exist, that means rainbow unicorns with pegasus wings are real"
Nope.
So if a man can "identify" , simply by stating, as a woman and be a woman, why can't someone "identify" as black? Or younger for that matter?
@@kevinturner9549 The problem comes when you assert that the act of identifying makes it true which is obviously nonsense. Just because someone thinks they are something doesn't mean that is what they are. It is possible that they are what they identify as but it isn't the individuals act of identifying that causes that to be true.
@@noddingyeti Then what would make it true?
@@kevinturner9549 That is a good question. There would have to be an objective non circular definition.

7:52 this guy had a lot more going on than being "trans". If he was trans at all. It's like some people who keep getting cosmetic surgeries to fix things that they don't like, thinking it will make them happy. But it doesn't and they continue getting surgeries. To my mind, they would have been better off using that money towards a good therapist to get to the root of why they don't like their bodies before having risky surgery. And any time you go under anesthesia there's a risk of not coming out of it, and the more times you do, the higher the risk each time. Joan Rivers comes to mind.
