Ben Shapiro Thoroughly EMBARRASSES Woke Student, Forcing Him to Sit Back Down!
This video is strictly for Entertainment, Opinions and Educational Purposes only.
I'm SO grateful I grew up before any of this BS. I was a tomboy growing up. I hated dolls, I played with legos and rode bikes on dirt tracks and did all kinds of things normally 'given' to boys. If this crap was around back then, adults and teachers would have tried to make me take drugs to be a boy. I would have never had my son, who is, thank God, not a woke idiot. He's 100% a man and likes the color pink. That's enough to call him feminine by today's woke standards. These people live in a different reality.
What's also weird is that some of us guys find tomboy girls the best thing ever. Someone who likes most of the stuff I do and is the opposite gender? GIMME!
Same here. Thank God I was born before this insanity.
I get you. I was a minor league hockey player and also played music.I always wanted a pink bass,so I bought one.
I too was a tomboy. Thank goodness it wasn't in today's world.
This. Every word of this. 1000%
His entire stance is that he agrees with everything Ben says but that he still thinks he is wrong.
Do NOT let your child’s teacher change your child… take them out of that school
Why do you believe a teacher is trying to change your child's sexuality? Is it because trump told you that, the maga morons told you that, the gop told you that?! Teachers are lucky if children learn math from them so when do they have time or the want to change your child's sexuality!! Teachers are disrespected, abused, spoken to like they are trash and not paid enough for the work they do or the abuse they deal with by not just children but also by their parents!! Sit your own kids down, teach them about sex, respect, the rewards of hard work, not to be judgemental of others, don't be a racist and how to survive and become a functioning member of society!! Don't blame the teachers because you don't know how to speak to your child or allow other children to teach your child about sex!! Teachers are lucky if your child has a brain to understand the math they are teaching, your child's sexuality is the last thing they want to talk about with someone else's child!! Stop blaming the teacher's for what you are afraid to talk about to your child!! If you don't talk with them about sex there are plenty of other kids that will do it for you!! Start respecting teachers before there are no longer teachers and you have to quit your job to do the job they use to!! Parents teach sex and respect, don't leave it for teachers to do or worse yet, other kids!! Stop listening and believing trump, the maga morons and the gop, God gave you a brain, try using it!!
Being a retired teacher, more than a few teachers think as Ben does and are forced to adopt these he/she/they ideas by their schools and the policies that run them. There are ways of addressing this rather than removing your child from the friends and good will they have established. Parent and Teacher meetings, writing to policy makers. Voting for candidates who reflect your values. These are productive in that this benefits many more children than just your child if enough want change. The silent majority needs to speak above the white noise of the minority. I guess that means, be selfish and less amenable, fight for what you want.
Yea because that's so easy to do. This woll be a vicious cycle if isn't stopped at the source
100% facts. I have a 1 yr. old and live in SoCal and I am terrified of sending her to any public school out here. me and my wife agreed that we would start searching for schools at 3 to be ahead of the game and if we can't find any we'll move in a heartbeat. Teachers are meant to do ONE THING and ONE THING only. That is teach the specific subject and no more and no less. The minute my daughter would come to me and tell me or her mom that the teacher/teachers brought up anything other than math/literature etc. etc. then we're going to have huge issues that I might possibly get jailed for. It's disgusting and predatory and I will protect my child from anything/anyone be they foreign or domestic.
@@sallyannchappell5671 Oh believe me miss sally I will fight, and I will win. If you honest to God think that what you said would fix anything then ma'am, you are part of the issue and so incredibly wrong it's embarrassing. How do you think schools ended up allowing it to happen in the first place? and the amount of stupid work and length of time it would take would not be worth it when I could just snatch my daughter up and switch schools or even states if it comes to that. Me and my wife are the best friends our daughter could ever have so I promise she won't miss any of them lmao
My child got groomed by a counselor at school and diagnosed as bi, then gay, then non binary, then Trans..
she was depressed, anxious, so stressed out, she was TOLD to not tell us, her Parents bc we are Conservative. It caused all sorts of chaos. One day he handed her scissors to cut off all her hair. That’s when I found out. I flipped. I spent all night praying for my child. For her self harm, her self hate, her being told SHE was a problem but if she transitioned into someone else THEN she’ll be liked and accepted. It hurt so deeply.
My husband and I were on our knees for weeks praying about it.
The. The lockdown happened. It took me 18 months to deprogram my child. Going back in person was another hurdle. She made this public declaration and I just said “tell them your figuring it all out like everyone else”
She now has Graduated and it was such a hard number of years.
It created SO MUCH TRAUMA. Unnecessarily. She would have had other hurdles but GENDER would never have been one of them.
The sexualization of these kids, is basically Sexual Abuse of children. Drag shows, pride worship, the extreme sexual graphic information is not normal sexuality, it’s pornography and SA. I’m very worried about the kids coming up. Extreme anal sex instructions are not acceptable, sex toys, porn, kinks. For 11yr olds is unacceptable. This is California.. but will be in every state if we don’t stop it.
Kids will be exploring sexuality whether parents encourage it or not.
I want kids to learn to accept themselves as they are. Accept self. Then work on what’s workable.
Encouraging them and praising the Power and Purpose for each gender. This was NEVER a thing just 10 years ago.
It’s self harm and mutation at the hands of Doctors and Pharma.
I hope that you held the school and the counselor accountable , the people and institutions must be stopped.
@@mnumzanemadoda4900 I wanted to Sue the pants off them. I wanted to inflict the pain on them, we had a lawyer, and all the receipts.. but my daughter (who was in the thick of it) didn’t want to go public which is part of that process. She didn’t want any more bullying, (she was being bullied right before all this started) and I had to circle the wagons for her. I can still probably sue.. instead I spoke to the district officials (not all cared at all) but a few did and it changed their policies.
The fact 40% of her graduation Class was Trans and 70% are lgbt says it’s a massive contagion. I feel so bad for these Parents and kids.
@@Mrs.CGraves I fully understand and respect your actions and your daughters wishes. I pray for your family's good health and healing in the future.
so sorry you want through that i can't imagine. but GOD is faithful. a lot of kids destroyed by this woke culture its straight from hell
for sure Biden adm did such great hurm.
God bless your family. And we need more parents like you and your husband. Shame on that counselor!
When he said he works with kids my heart sank.
1000% i agree with you, whatever toys i played with as a child, i still knew who i was
Anytime a child is put in a potentially dangerous situation we should ALL be concerned. All of this exposure of children to drag queens and pride parades is disturbing. We don't take them to strip clubs or introduce them to perverts so what is the difference.
Exactly, we have laws that have sexual predators OF CHILDREN UP TO 18 YEARS OLD, charged and jailed so fast their heads would spin. How is it these blue and green haired nuts are not going to jail for what they are doing to 9 or ten year olds, WITHOUT PARENTS EVEN KNOWING?????????
HOW ARE THEY NOT BEING PUBLICLY OUTED, LOSING EVERYTHING THEY OWN, AND IN JAIL??????
I agree with you Baba. I grew up more interested in boy activities but I was never confused nor doubted I am a female. By the way, I am still female.
Lot of girls when younger who were my friends. Never thought I was a girl
In high school, people thought I was gay because I was on the cheerleading team. Little did they know that I joined the team to have easy access to the beautiful cheerleaders.
You sly dog lmao. Good for you bro. I love women. They are the most beautiful creatures in the world.
Damb why didn't I think of that...
@@woodyforest7308 I got first dibs on the hottest girls.
@@jeffgile2921 It worked. I had access to them at practice and events. Put on the charm, hit the gym, and bought a muscle car. The cheerleaders were hooked.
@@CW-re6oeEven if they weren’t interested, it’s a genius way to learn about girls.
We really need to stop coddling and affirming the delusions of these people it only does them harm! People don’t like facts bc it goes against their feelings but feelings are deceptive and can change with wind.
Yo this guy needs to sit the hell down. He is an embarrassment to the college. This is what they are teaching in colleges
It’s insanely concerning.
How did the schools get to this point? Who is pulling the strings
I'm in my 50's and when I was in elementary school, there was a book in the library that was about a boy who played with dolls. It wasn't saying he's a girl now like in kids books today but someday little Billy will be a "great father". In today's world first destroy the family by removing two parents homes by removing the father. Now there's no structure in the home.
You can go down that road but, there is no turning back.
So true. As you get older it’s abundantly clear and something’s you just can’t go back it’s called regret real regret.
The amount of De-Transitioning is becoming very well documented.
I have 2 Psychologists in my family. Gender dysphoria is not a reason to transition. If they are “suicidal”, they need counseling not gender reassignment surgery.
If they are suicidal before, that does not go away.
I have 3 adult sons. When they were younger they had a full kitchen set, dolls with their actionmen and a dressing up box full of clothes from both genders.
Some idiot not long ago claimed I was a hypocrite because I raised my boys as non-binary.
I DID NOT raise them as non-binary and it never crossed our mind that they're girls just because they enjoyed getting their toy ironing boards out when mummy did.
Exactly. Grown men iron their clothes as well.
If there was a crime, and we were asked to describe someone, ie a perpetrator, we would say male or female, simple as that
These days when looking for suspects the police dare not even use someone’s ethnicity to describe them.
Especially the use of "they." Cops want the names in the group and get mad when only giving one name out for "they"
So darn true.
being progressive should not include denial or lies
AMEN 🙏
Then how could it be progressive 🤔
The problem is that people with purple hair are telling young children that they can CHOOSE to be a boy or a girl. That it's simply a choice. If I had been given that choice when I was between the age of 6 and 10, I might have "chosen" to be a boy. Luckily sanity still prevailed while I was a young girl, so that didn't happen. Today's children are not so lucky.
Amen brother
Get him out of pulic school.
This dude on the mic is severely and seriously wrong!!! Ben was and is exactly right!!
Why is this dude teaching students??!!!
Back in the 80's a Berkeley mom told me how she didn't let her two boys play with toy guns...
until she realized that everything from bananas to pieces of wood became a toy gun in their little hands.
As prison officer of 21 years....I had pub fights, rode a ninja 12, shaved my hair, helped on the farm with fencing, shooting and mechanics. I didn't like dresses or makeup. I always stood up for people. I must be Gay right?
Not at all, I have been in several long term relationships with men and have never gone the other way. I am a Tom boy and at 50 years old and very settled within myself. These young people need to chill out and accept their differenc to others without pronouns and complaints and insistence.
I went through a time in kindergarten when I played with the boys and their trucks. The boys made great sounds. I played with the boys and trucks because I liked boys. I knew I was a girl and didn't feel and thing about it. I knew the boys were boys and that was what I liked. I liked boys
I identify as a multi millionaire!!!!!!! I demand that the government help me realize my true identity!!!$$$$$$$$$
I had three brothers, 2 older and 1 younger, before I ever had sisters. I did almost everything they did and explored the world we lived in with them. I played their games (trucks, marbles, cowboys, tree climbing, catching bugs, minnows, turtles) but I never thought I was a boy or acting like a boy. I was blessed that they invited the girl of the family to tag along, and part of that may be due to the fact that all the kids in the neighborhood would play outdoor games together in someone's yard, both boys and girls. We were allowed to "explore" being kids just enjoying being alive.
alot of this bs is comming from the schools and higher places of learning, thats why alot of parents are starting to kick off about it.
This dude works in public schools and doesn’t know humans are animals?
Humans are not animals! There are humans and then there are animals!
Human Being:
a man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance.
@@LaceandArmourThis is my field of science. Even what you quoted states "distinguished from OTHER animals". Our intelligence sets us apart, it doesn't change that we are a species of mammals.
@@ArionNoble - That is not my quote. We are not a species of mammals, just not true. Science may be your expertise but that does not mean you’re always correct. We are and always will be elevated above animals. Animals did not build nor do they sustain our civilization.
@LaceandArmour You are now lying. Yes, humans are mammals. Anyone denying that is denying basic scientific fact. Humans are also part of the subgroup of PRIMATES.
@LaceandArmour This just isn't true. Humans are part of the subgroup named PRIMATES. We are mammals. The only thing that sets us apart is our intellect. This is scientific fact.
Dude I been watching these a bit. Keep rockin man
These people just want to have all the attention on themselves. They really don't care about reality or facts.... or other people.
I hear a lot of these people say that their parents don't accept them for who they are.... good. If you go to your parents and say "I'm a trans". And, they react by saying "no, you're not" then try to get you into therapy, they are being good parents.
What has this subject got to do with this young guy.he’s desperate for attention.
If in X country they sold one single toy for every child, a Barbie, then every kid in that country would be a girl?
There is also a 4th group, those that decide it's trendy and follow like sheep, such folk can be found in all walks of life and in every generation...
My wife loves UFC Fighting and SHE IS 100% FEMALE.
If you’re wife was transgender they be masculinised woman Testosterone in woman
You can’t reason with evil.
His whole shtick is a child is mature enough to choose themselves, I’m betting he’d tell a detransitioner they just made a mistake and bad on them .
I've never seen Ben be beaten. His points are always extremely valid and make more sense than all the ones that go against his views.
I like the way you view this subject. I've felt this way for years. Just because someone identifies as something, why do they expect the rest of us to deny what we've believed our whole life. I'm 64 and don't have a problem with people who want to live their life the way they choose, just leave me alone and don't force your choice on me.
Leave the kids alone and let them go thru puberty natuarly
I guess a person can believe what they want about themselves. But when they try to force others into their fever dream is taking things too far.
I hated dolls and played with cars, legos, rode bikes and acted more like a boy than a girl. I never thought I was a boy I just hated girl toys. I also loved gardening, cooking, canning and baking. So glad I grew up before all this crap started. I have two 3 year granddaughters, one of them hates wearing dresses and loves playing with dinosaurus. The other loves wearing dresses and playing with dolls. Thankfully I raised my sons better than the parents that raised these "adults" that don't seem to understand what bullcrap all this gender blah blah blah is so I know my granddaughters will always be granddaughters.
Kids have no sense of community and belonging. Kids need family and a large circle that cares. Maybe that's what's causing the massive insecurity and search for importance.
Why doesnt anybody ever point out the fact that they are being decived by the spirit of perversion????????
Its a spiritual battel that can only be won by the blood of our Savior who heals and delivers from evil.
Children at school behave differently than they do at home.
Trust me, a teacher doesn’t know our kids more.
Kids will follow what other kids are doing to fit in, that’s the point of school, to have a repetitive schedule with a core learning module, this is exactly what’s wrong with the liberal school board.
I am so glad I was taught right. All these new beliefs have not brought more freedom but more confusion.
How come when i was a kid all this what sex am was unheard of,it was math,science ect.and playing ball or hunting,or fishing where did all this confusion come from? Someone know?
He worked a long time in public schools ???
This guy says that Ben's ideas are based in reality. So, by contrast, the gender ideology he is spouting isn't based in reality. Arguement failed wonderfully.
Boys playing with Dolls teaches them how to be a father.
One of my male cousins played with dolls ad he's still a male, he still knew who he was, I played with cars and played with toy guns when we'd visit a cousin who has a son a few yrs younger than me, it's crazy that a boy who plays with dolls mut be a girl or a girl who plays with cars, guns etc must be boys like common sense people, let them be let them be children and explore, these people are driving me crazy with this craziness...
Boys are bys girls are girls, just let them be they can for sure transition when they're older like an adult, if that's what they need but they need to be sure that's what they need to do I would respect their decision...
If I believe that I am Emperor Napolean, will people address me as your majesty?
NOPE!! I'd be more like, YO! WUT UP LIL MAN?? YOU GOOD??🤣🤣
What’s up short stuff?
Thank you.
I grew up with two older sisters when I was like 5 yrs old I would think it's funny to put their clothes on and walk around the house. Now imagine if I did that and then had my parents and society tell me. Well your actually a girl. I would of grown up very confused obviously. Just let kids be kids. Any form of sex Ed shouldn't be taught in elementary school. It's literally grooming.
If you plan to disagree with this man, you need to have strong debating skills, and the ability to refute what he says with facts. Every person I have watched that goes against him always go back to rally sayings or just say you are wrong.
did you hear that guy, 11:54 "yeah and Im allowing you that space" - NO SCIENTIFIC FACT IS!!
I allowed my 2 sons 2 play w/ a babydoll i got wen i was a kid,but it taught them how 2 hold a real baby. Neither is a homosexual! Heres another point,Daddys hold their babys too! ,Not just mommys! When my daughter was born,boys wer 3& 5,they knew How 2 hold & be gentle with her❤️😇😇😇
He said he wants children to "explore" ... what he left unsaid was the follow-up phrase "with me."
Did Ben not say exactly what you have said , i didn't know he was in an echo chamber !
Maybe it's because I'm not apart of the rainbow community but, since day one I always wondered, what is the line of thinking one must have to go from "I feel discomfort in my body" to "I must by a different sex then my body".
I do enjoy your take on things Very refreshing to see a young man not steeped in Wokery but using insightful common since All the best Jeremy
@BabtundeSchmidt I agree with everything you've said here. Good man!
Ya I was a kid in the 80s and all my cousins and brother were boys (obviously brother), so I would play with them with their GI Joes and transformers, and they would play with me with my Barbies and pink sit and spin and POGO Ball. We enjoyed playing with each other’s toys. All of are middle aged straight boys and girl.
Could do without the interruptions
This guy says hes experenced with elementary school kids hes not going back far enough you need to watch and raise hundreds of kids from infancy to elementary school ages to REALLY understand what's intrinsically biological and what is spcially constructed if your starting point is elementary you have already failed
Nearly 70 yrs ago, I was a female born into a family of brothers. I wanted to be like them and even at age 10 convinced my Mom to let me cut my long hair into a short, short cut. I looked like my brothers! My wise Mother took me from the salon to the jewelry store and bought me a sparkly necklace. When we got back to the car, she said, "Now you are something only you & I can be. Strong AND pretty." I never looked back. Thanks Mom!
My brother sister and I all played with trucks, erector sets, Lincoln logs, dad's tools, and preferred mowing he lawn with the push mower versus washing dishes. Back then for girls this was called being a Tomboy. We also all played with dolls and had Barbie Ken and GIJoe ( my Barbie really liked Joe.) I also had baby dolls and my brother would play with my dolls, but though the dolls were generally missing hair, eyes heads arms or other body parts when he was done. Baby dolls do not parachute well. Today I am a lady who still prefers not to wash dishes but still gardens. And I am happiest in casual clothes. My sister who was a bigger Tomboy until she wad almost in college, now has a closet filled with with gowns and high heeled shoes and a lot of jewelry, mainly diamonds. While my brother is and always has been a manly guy, who I don't let near my remaining dolls
As a guy I DID play with dolls. They were Action man or GI Joe's to the USAists out there. I also enjoyed playing dress up. Flash piratesque effects from my aunts clothes. I am a man simply because I have the appropriate chromosomes....no more no less.
I was an absolute Tom boy until the age of 16, I climbed tress, fix bikes and even played in the mud, then I grew out of that and started to be more interested in looking more feminine, started to wear make up and took more care of my hair and how I dressed. If I grew up today I probably would be forced to change my sex into a male.
Wow we are so so screwed
I agree. There’s nothing wrong with a boy playing with dolls or liking things that are shiny. The problem happens when a parent observes this and suddenly starts dressing her son in a freaking pink tutu. Parents, put a football in the boys hands for God sake. It’s your job to guide them.
For many years I thought I was superman. Many trips to the ER. Glad the doctors didn't give me affirming care for that.
US should buy an island and sent all these people to the island.
"You're comparing humans to animals," he says to Ben in a disapproving tone. Later, he and his friends will probably point out that certain lizards and amphibians can change their sex or that homosexuality is sometimes observed in nature with animals.... as if those applied to humans. They do it all of the time.
I’m so lucky that I was born in 74 because I’ve always been a tomboy but I’m also firmly a female! If I had been born in current times I’d have all these people telling me that I was born in the wrong gender and that’s ABSOLUTELY false! I’m still very feminine but I still enjoy doing things that “boys” like. I can be both and I AM both
Great commentary.
Gender (noun): the thing I made up. 🙃
(Yes, this is not my understanding of gender but it’s close to what I see on the internet.)
Kids can play with whatever toys. If a kid plays with dolls, and the parent wants to label them as a certain gender, isn't that closed minded and limiting the genders rather than making gender less important and equal?
You can't change reality by saying something and, therefore, acting like it's real. If I want to know what it feels like to win a gold medal in the Olympics , I must work, 6 win one. I don't get to tell everyone that I won one so I can feel what it is like to be a winner.😊
Anyone knows how puppies behave. Especially how constantly hungry they are.
Children are the same way with knowledge. They are excited to learn, which is why it's important, like the puppy, we feed it and nurture it with something good. Otherwise the puppy grows up to be an asshole and malnourished.
Mr Shapiro expresses reality rather cogently and succinctly. As with all mammalian species, we are reproductively dimorphic. We all, including all dsd people, produce, in normal functioning, one of two gametes. No one has ever shifted gamete production, so we cannot change sex. There are only two sexes, but as many expressions of sexuality, lifestyle, behaviour patterns, personal culture, identity, etc, as there are human beings. We need to ditch the woke equation of gender stereotypical behaviour with biological reality, get back to treating each other with deep respect as unique individuals, and stop lying about the immutable reality of sex. Telling confused young people that they are right to dissociate from, and to hate, their bodies is wrong. Their bodies are who they are, and of infinite beauty and value as they are.
Scorpio women have, as a group, very high testosterone.
If your pronouns and affirmation of your perception of what gender you are, is important to you I believe that's insecurity. If you can't be comfortable in your own skin, that doesn't mean everyone else has to help or affirm it. That is bullying.
When I was four years old, nobody could tell me I wasn't Sonic the Hedgehog and that my parents' minivan wasn't secretly a transformer. Adults need to establish clear lines between imagination and reality.
Geesh, dude should've sat down, straight up embarrassing.
Regardless I thought he was respectful and listened.
2 + 2 will always equal 4.
My sister and I were lock key kids in the 70's. We played with my army men and her dolls. We are both straight and she made me easy-bake oven cakes and I would cook dinner. Both parents worked.
If an anorexic person believes that they’re fat, It goes against my morals to tell them that they’re fat
Nah...the dude is a 'teacher'...what else could we expect.
Both boys and girls played with dolls
Boys had G.I.Joe, girls had barbie
Ben makes one small error. People with chromosomal differences such as Klinefelter's, Hurler's and Turner's syndromes DO NOT have the external appearance of the other sex, neither are they 'intersex'. Klinefelter's have XXy sex chromosomes and are externally physically male. Generally, the issue is only picked up when they fail to develop certain secondary characteristics such as male pattern body hair, genital growth. Similarly, people with Hurler's and Turner's syndrome, which are XXX and XO respectively, are externally physically female. Also similarly, the issue is often only picked up at the time that puberty might be expected and the normal secondary characteristics do not develop. However, the increase in pre-natal chromosome screening means that such anomalies are picked up before birth. It may, in certain countries, give the parents a choice to continue with the pregnancy. I am UNAWARE that having Klinefelter's, Hurler's, Turner's or any of the extremely rare chromosomal anomalies affecting the Xy configuration increases the possibility of having gender dysphoria. I have attempted to research this and have not found any published medical papers confirming it.
The CORRECT definition of intersex is someone who is genetically male, Xy chromosomes, but has AIS and thus presents externally as a female. This is rare. Less than 1 in 50,000 is generally accepted. We CANNOT define a species by the tiny minority. A TINY number of people are born without limbs but a description of a human will state "2 upper limbs -arms and 2 lower limbs - legs". Thus we cannot say that people with chromosomal anomalies are the norm that defines a human.
You cannot argue with a person who is not willing to listen.
These "conversations", as well meaning as they are, go absolutely nowhere and only frustrate me.
I have a cousin that was born with both , the thing is that no one knew that he had female organs on the inside and the male organs on the outside. When they were trying to find out why he was having problems with his going to the bathroom is when they found out that he was a female as well. This hurts people's mental health with things like this.
I just checked my computer. It is binary. I was so SHOCKED 🔥
Why is this on the internet the title is so embarrassingly bad
"I fail to understand" is code for: "I don't care what you think and I'm trying to cancel you".
He said he "works" with children!
Is he registered? Should he be?
My Barbie was G.I. Joe.
It is a little hard to NOT justify comparing humans to animals when students think they are cats, dogs, foxes, hucows, monkeys, etc. As a teacher I had to take care I didn't accidently step on their tails.
My son played with Barbie’s and wore my heels as a kid. He’s a handsome man and never tried to be a girl.
These people are so delusional that they would argue that a lightbulb is not a lightbulb, but a piece of the sun.
