Yes, I've been pressured about this, pressured not to tell my story of a secretive, deceitful husband who disappears when I'm at home with our infant and toddler way back in 1991. I discovered the diaries in '92, and realized he'd been ideating a female persona and had a second life going all the way back to when I was pregnant with our second son. Channel with data on 60 trans widows at name in the handle here.
@@UteHeggenTranswidowHeals you should share your perspective! I would support hearing it and many like me would too. Do you think there should be 4 genders, as in men, women, trans men, and trans women for people like your ex? Would that help the situation or cause more harm?
Do you use any of the following (somewhat euphemistic) terms? • gay • homophobia/homophobe • transphobia/transphobe • trans-sexual • transgender • cis gender • sex worker • African-American • capitalism/capitalist • any gender-specific pronoun other than he/she, him/her or his/her Then CONGRATULATIONS - you are (either knowingly or unwittingly) a silly shill for the loony left!
I took my daughter’s A level class to Downe House, Darwins house, and it was great his garden with all the plant studies he did was fascinating, you can really understand it. The staff were so nice, the cafe lady even knew lots about Darwin. 5 star rating from me. A creationist turned up and was very vociferous about god etc and the staff handled it was respect, 5 stars again. X
@@KatMoore-ih6mw There are 2 sexes and you cannot change sex. "Gender" is a grammatical term which was suddenly misused to mean sex when equal rights legislation giving women more protections were written using the word "gender," because "sex" has sexual connotations. That was a mistake. Belief of "born in wrong body" is an ideation. I have a channel, same as handle name here above, and data on 60 trans widows' experiences are available there, as well as links to my blog. It is no small matter that the Scandinavian countries are doing valid, statistically significant research, finding harms of "affirmative care" and changing course in their health and mental health institutions.
If your personal liberties are infringed by them, by all means stand up. But in the meantime, it just seems you wanna put your nose in other's business. You have the power to ignore. Before you say it's too prevalent to ignore, you clicked on this video. And these days, it seems the right talks about trans stuff 10x as much as the left. Oh and for what it's worth, trans people handle reality pretty well all things considered. Picture yourself not having the sex parts you prefer having, and tell me with a straight face you'd cope with it fine.
Thats why we must not give in to their pronoun game. Biological male = man = he/him and a biological female = woman = she/her. Gender is a faith-based belief with not scientific merit.
Sharon Osborne said something that made sense to me. These youngsters who all at once believe they are not the sex they were born are trying to find "their tribe". They are confused and humans tend to come together when they have the same beliefs. To kind of "believe" they are unique and superior in some sort of way. I'm sorry, they are being manipulated.
Why do some teenagers seem to have a more desperate need to find a “tribe” than others? And why are they usually female? My hypothesis is that, as a result of the effects of patriarchy on the female psyche, very many mothers unconsciously and preemptively reject their daughters as they start becoming women in an attempt to avoid going through the extreme pain again that they experienced as girls when their mothers rejected them. When a girl goes through puberty, her mother begins to see her own mother in her. If she had a loving and accepting mother, she will welcome her daughter’s womanhood, but if she had a rejecting and insecure mother, she will fear it more than anything. Everything we know about women, we learn from our mothers. Women with rejecting, insecure mothers can handle their daughters when they are little, because they aren’t women yet and they are experienced by their mothers more as objects that can be controlled. Please do not take this as me blaming women for rejecting their daughters. We are all products of our circumstances and I don’t believe in free will. But it is impossible to address an issue when we are in denial about what the root of the issue is. I can say that I have caused my children suffering and pain without believing I am a bad person or a bad mother, but in our very black and white world, to criticize someone, especially a mother, is to necessarily imply she is a bad person/mother. Under patriarchy, girls are conditioned to believe that if they do anything “wrong”, they are worthy of discard. Beyond redemption. So they learn they must deny all wrong doing, and never acknowledge their roles in the suffering of their children, to themselves or anyone else. This is why patriarchy is so disempowering. It conditions us to never look within, because if we do, we will find something we don’t like, others will see it, and we will be thrown away. Nothing is more empowering than acknowledging the roles we play, and making an effort to change course. Patriarchy makes accountability terrifying for women, and especially for mothers.
Peers are far more influential than parents, and this is being lead by peers. Just like anorexia. Girls are just more easily influenced by peers than boys are. A quick Google will give you some info on that.
Every generation of teenagers create "fads". It's part of establishing yourself apart from your parents. The problem is nefarious people and organizations have honed In on this and taken advantage of it.
@@katieandnick4113 Sorry but you gotta stop trying to blame everything on patriarchy, capitalism, and racism. And the, "effects of patriarchy on the female psyche"?! Please! You're just acting as an apologist for wokeism. The patriarchy isn't real and adolescents have been seeking their tribe going way way back. In the 40s girls sought identity as bobby soxers, back in the 20s it was flappers who sat on flag poles and swallowed live gold fish. Many girls grow up without any mother, they're brought up by single fathers. No greater amount of LGBT among them. No difference between the two groups in the percentage of girls running out and getting sex change ops. Just look how Shirley Temple fared as a motherless waif in the movie, 'Captain January'. And what about that classic sitcom, 'Bachelor Father'. "Niece Kelly" never wanted a sex change, she just wanted to listen to Frankie Avalon records and sip ice cream sodas at the beach.
The tragedy is that we all have to waste precious time talking about this utter nonsense...a fabulous scientist having to waste his time and energy stating the bleeding obvious...
@@Maioubithey can imagine it, but that's all they can do. A man can never "feel" female, he has NO point of reference. Just as I can never know what it's like being a man.
@@NeirXIII Great retort in your little echo-chamber here. There's thousands of doctors, scientists and psychologists who support trans people, but you dare not contemplate their words. Instead, you disparage them as politically motivated, craving only to have your own feelings validated and supported. That's why you clicked on this video. You've become the very thing you can't stand.
Isn't this insane. Twenty years ago the world's response to this biologist would be, 'Yes, of course there are major differences between the sexes.' Now it is outrageous to speak of this truth.
"Fractally wrong." I absolutely love this phrase and will be using it from now on. Judith Butler's idea that "everything is a social construct" falls victim to the epistemology that day one Philosophers are supposed to learn: If 'everything is a social construct ' then the notion that everything is a social construct is therefore a social construct and is specifically invalidated as an objective method of understanding, making it false. Some ideas simply are not social constructions and that should be evident to anyone who studies Science Philosophically. Science is a and the method for discernment between subjective and objective analysis. It's just that simple. Excellent discussion here. Brilliant and concise and thought and articulate. Subscribed, liked, and shared. Godspeed.
Can you give examples? I see plenty of videos by GC feminists here, so who is being silenced and why? I'm not arguing with you, just genuinely curious.
@@BasicAngel2266 I was banned from YT for a time, for advocating for women like me, who divorced suddenly demanding crossdressing men. A year later, I was reinstated, no explanation.

This young man needs a much larger audience! Hes so interesting to listen to, not just because I agree with him, but because of how he speaks from science and biology.
I was attacked verbally and physically at the University of Pittsburgh for disagreeing with students. They said we have 90+ genders. I told them we have two. They lost their minds and complained. I was not offered a teaching contract the next year.
I am retired and somewhat reclusive, so I don't have actual conversations about this.. But I have some thoughts about a hypothetical conversation. First, I would ask what the others mean by 'gender' and how 'gender' relates to 'sex'. Also, it seems to me that 'gender' is meaningless now, because there are so many genders, that it might as well mean the same thing as 'personality'. Gender seems to be either something immutable that we are born with, while at the same time being fluid and changeable. Again: meaningless. But we are a sexually reproducing species. I can't form a bud that splits off and grows into another human. There is no third gamete.
Gender ideology is an extension of a larger more dangerous issue. Put your tin foil hat on… The methods with which gender ideologues silence and demand compliance is a kin of Marxist strategies (there are videos of blm engaging in struggle sessions, etc.) You’ll see this parallel blm, antifa, anti-west, pro Palestine activists. Now it’s important to note not all involved espouse this rhetoric, many students are just used to push an agenda, also there is a genuine trans population out their but they understand reality and it’s unfortunate they are associated with those who are extreme. but there are plenty of which do. I suspect the ultimate goal is to have a revolution in the west. James Lindsey talks about this in length but it’s intense to listen to and I don’t agree with everything he says. If you have interest, a good middle ground is a video titled, “The Forgotten Marxists of the 60’s” Imagine, if someone can get you to believe a male can be a female, what else could they convince you of?
What’s really crazy to me is the Orwellian term “gender affirming care” when if anything it’s gender denying mutilation. It’s so sad that this monstrous confusion is being foisted on our children and passed off as empathy and compassion. This culture is disgusting.
give me one example of it being foisted on children, no, actually, give me several. you could probably give me a hundred, right? if it's such an epidemic
@@no-be3zv what are you saying? That it’s not being taught as a valid identity in our schools? In our institutions including the military? By our insane president? Or are you saying that there are no kids undergoing surgeries to remove healthy tissue? Or no kids being given unsafe levels of hormones only to appeal to a delusion? Or all of the above?
wtf my comments keep getting deleted even though I’m not breaking any terms of service. TH-cam is definitely part of the disgusting culture I spoke of!
It’s so embarrassing how much time and energy they spend lobbying at telling others they must accept and celebrate their trans identity, but when we respond to their demands with an explanation as to why we refuse to play along, they always come back with “why are you obsessed with trans people”, or “we just want to live and be left alone”. It’s one of the biggest gaslighting campaigns of our time.
Your post is one of the biggest gaslighting campaigns I have ever seen as is this talk by colin wright. My guess he is a born again christian steeped in deep ignorance.
Wow, today we need a evolutionary biologist to deliver a long winded explanation about a basic fact, every child understood intuitively until a few years ago. XX is not XY.
@@sebastiansirvas1530 XX = female, XY = male. There is no spectrum, with mammals it is binary. You're one or the other, and cannot change that. Now, there are some basidiomycetes with 4 sexes, but we're not mushrooms.
There are many "boys" who are born XX while there are many more girls that are born XY. There are also a relatively small number of both girls and boys who are born "true hermaphrodites", having both large and small gametes. Colin's gamete criteria is simply not applicable in the real world of either human or non-human biology in the animal kingdom. This is one of the reasons why so very many university professors prohibit heretical views like those of Colin's from being used as research material for college research papers.
Arguing about how many "genders" there are with the "woke" - is like the medieval theological debates about "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin." In other words the "woke" position is simply an irrational faith based religious debate - rather than a "scientific" debate at all.
“If you can get people to believe absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities” -Voltaire But, actually, its far worse than all this. Much much worse. Contemporary woke liberals are like religious fanatics, theres no reasoning with them. Its like the early 7th century AD and a liberal caliphate is establishing its tyrannical theocracy over the entire Western world and beyond. But at least Islam established order, the liberal caliphate seeks only chaos and destruction of the West and its people. FJB!
It’s not that at all. It’s just saying there’s a potential for any amount of genders to exist because gender exists on a spectrum, just as colors do. It’s just a way of expressing a complicated idea in simpler terms. It’s not a fantasy
@@hexum7 I have no problem with anyone living in a fantasy world of make-believe - just don't expect me to join you there because I'm not interested. The real material world is complicated and interesting enough without resorting to creating pretend fantasy realms. Just saying.
@@hexum7The colour spectrum is reality, based on science. Comparing that to a socially contrived genger spectrum is akin to believing in fairy stories or that you could identify as a unicorn and people need to believe your fantasies.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Finally! We really need all you scientists to raise your voice and share your knowledge. This discussion about sex has been a""ignore the women" debate! And now I have to accept men naked in the womens locker room and I don't get to complain about this because then I am a "hater" and so much more... So tired🤐
There are only 2 concepts: 1) Biology (Man or woman). 2) Individual stereotypes (aka "social constructs") that a person chooses (Clothing, hairstyles, personality etc). The stereotypes that you choose do not change whether you are a man or woman.
You can’t say you ‘feel like a man’ (or woman), you don’t know how that feels. Like you don’t know how it feels to be a dog. You can only feel who you are and if you’re a female then that’s what you feel like.
Exactly. Without the ability to compare, nobody can claim to be one or the other. Not feeling "right as they are" doesn't mean that they must be the other. It only means they "don't feel right as they are" and THAT could have many reasons other than they're in the wrong body!
Sex and gender or not the same thing they're completely different and unrelated and your concept of section gender is a fabrication of the church designed to use religion to control an enslave you That's a fact but I also agree the idea of cancel culture needs to stop because that's b******* too
He's right The absurdity that the human species is binary sexes and the absurdity that male and female genders even exist at all now that was all created by the church to manipulate brainwash and control humanity and look at all the atrocities committed over tens of thousands of years in the name of God so yes Voltaire was absolutely correct. The human species has four sexes not two after your brain is done smoking look up intersex you have male female hermaphrodite and eunuch So when that hermaphrodite comes to apply for your job application and you have a little box marked sex and you pull their pants down and see that they have both a penis and a vagina exactly which sex should they pick Even better if you have any brain cells left that haven't burned out by now a eunuch walks up to apply for your job and there are millions of these people 130 million of them a eunuch walks up to your job you pull their pants down and they don't have a penis or a vagina which sex do they pick? After your brain's done smoking let me detonate your last few working neurons which gender do these people pick :-)
It’s so infuriating disturbing and depressing to think I was barely coming out of the insanity of religion to be thrown into the insanity of Trans nonsense!
Denying reality has become a way of shutting down rational discussion. How to argue with someone denying reality? Like toddlers putting their fingers in their ears and going 'la la'.
You can't argue with people that have a religious conviction. The only way to reason with them, so to speak, is to produce tangible results. They argue that gender affirming care results in less suicide-rates? Falsify their claims, again, and again. Until they have no standing left.
You see, the tacit part of this position is that reality can be sampled .... when you say "denying reality" you really just mean your sampling of it, you have to accept that there are other ways of sampling, other ways framing, naming, creating knowledge or identifying boundaries, right?

And there's tons of doctors and biologists who accept that it's neurologically possible, mostly because we're primitive in our understanding of the brain. It's ridiculous to think we could rule out (prove a universal negative) for someone's internal mapping not matching what's there. It's funny how organizations of thousands of doctors like the AMA support trans people and that's shrugged off as being political, but those who disagree get megaphones and pretend they have no underlying political ideology whatsoever.
It's got nothing to do with facts, biology or science, all this nonsensical crap is based on perversion ideology, the majority of humanity need to tell this corrupted orchestrated shitshow to do one
I've never heard of any transmen who've had autoandrophilia. I think its a myth. Transmen seem mostly motivated by the trauma involved with female puberty. Much higher rate of regret too. I suppose its possible that there are some authentic trans people who really are what they say. Damned few though, damned few!
Oh this is great. I was at my desk at work today listening to this on my phone, and someone (I have a pretty good idea who) complained to HR and said that I was "openly listening to extremist alt right hate about trans people ". The HR lady just stopped me and asked me about it as I was on my way out heading to a meeting. This kind of thing has been happening alot lately. I've been working here in various capacities for almost 12 years, and this kind of thing was literally NEVER used to happen. Only in the last 2 years when we hired a new HR director and started changing our hiring policies and practices did this nonsense start happening. For ove70 years of this company existing, no one ever had a complaint about anything here being racist, or sexist, or hateful, or dangerous and hostile. Now that we have young people with tattoos on their necks and hands, and pierced noses and lips, and you no longer have to wear a suit in the offices, and a whole litany of other stupid shit, and this is all of a sudden the most hateful and hostile company ever. I'm about ready to start seeking employment somewhere else.
I would be willing to bet the one with the most tats and piercings is the biggest snowflake of the bunch. Always being picked on. You choose to look like a complete idiot then complain when people notice.
Hope you learned your lesson. HR is a always highly female occupation, so let women figure it out. I am with the bros taking over women sports etc. Let those transgenders push out women in all their female spaces, till women come to their senses.

And statistically intersex people are outliers. Outliers do not form part of any continuum. They lie well outside the normal or usual range. That is why they are called 'outliers'. So to rely on them as an argument to underpin: "sex is a spectrum" is utterly illogical.

@@starquant Yeah man, "muh soggy knee" is when someone makes a statement that you can't argue against. I'm a big meanie poopyhead. Now do you have an actual argument?
“Refrain from having strong opinions until you’ve done a sufficient amount of research” is a line that more and more people need to take to heart these days. It’s okay to just admit you’re not well informed enough on a subject to have an opinion.
It gets down to "burden of proof". If someone comes to you asserting that everyone MUST cut off their left pinky in order to reduce harm and racism, I don't think you bare the burden of producing a, "sufficient amount of research" before adopting a strong opinion. The person preaching an extreme deviation from previously held common sense, ought to bare the burden of PROVING why we should make this extreme change. Not the guy saying, "What? Wait, hold on, what do you wanna do to my children's pinky fingers?" Thats how it works in my book.
@@RaptorFromWeegee I agree. My original point was more about having a strong opinion on a subject you’re not informed about. But simply rejecting someone’s assertion on the basis that they have not sufficiently proven their point doesn’t require a strong opinion. You’re not taking the opposing view, you’re just saying “based on what you’ve told me, I don’t think you’ve satisfied your evidentiary burden and so I reject your claim.”
Fair enough but some people will say they are always on the side that needs no evidence 'because the other side is always unreasonable' but actually we just want our opinions to be the ones that are agreed with. I certainly can't disagree with "I'm not a vet but I know what a dog is".
Unfortunately for you, I am very well informed. So you can't really get away with just saying that people "just don't understand" and not being able to defend your arguments. :) People always blurt at others that they need to "educate themselves", but then when they do they get told "why are you so obsessed?".
I grew up wanting to be a girl. I even prayed to become a girl. I was being raised by a misandrist mother with serious mental-health problems and personality disorders who used my sex as a major point of constant psychological and physical attack throughout my childhood. Learning to embrace my manhood and heterosexuality was an essential part of healing. I worry for the boys and girls dealing with similar abuse today being rushed into medical transitioning. I know if it were available in the '70s my mom would have manipulated the system into transitioning me, and I'd probably gone along. ... Throughout my life I've defended the human rights of people to be trans with acceptance and letting common sense prevail on things such as sports and bathrooms. I believe many modern trans activists have betrayed a lot of progressives' goodwill and allyship.

Check out Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying (Darkhorse podcast). Both are evolutionary biologists, too, and have defended gamete type as demonstrating the sex binary in animals and plants. (Fungus are different.) I've seen someone else, also an evolutionary biologist, speak to this point, but I've seen him only once and don't remember his name.
Most of what he says is largely meaningless He's an evolutionary biologist he has specific intentions and needs and defines things a specific way for his particular science and evolutionary biologist is going to summarily ignore intersex for example even though there's 130 million of these people they're not fictional they're not fairy tales they exist because from an evolutionary perspective they're irrelevant most of them are sterile and can't reproduce so he doesn't care they're a dead end He even tells you in the beginning he defines sex differently than for example a doctor does it's based on need and use They both have a different need and use for sex so they're going to define them differently both of their definitions mean nothing in the bigger picture what matters is how do people define sex We don't mean what gametes do you have when we put mail or female on a job application we mean do you have tits do you have a vagina do you have a penis that's what we mean do you look like a woman or do you look like a man which genitals do you have hanging between your legs That's what we mean when we say male or female The things that can define that go well beyond what he would use to define sex gametes chromosomes I think 26 some odd genes can impact your sexual appearance and of course your actual sex and your actual gender your genitals Would it surprise you to know that the human species has four sexes?

Gender is a Latin word that just means a group of anything, and comes from a family of words, genre, genus and general all meaning a group of anything. The uptight middle class Victorians ( the sanctimonious woketards of that era) started to use the word gender instead of sex because they didn't like the other meaning of the word sex meaning to copulate.So gender actually means the opposite of a spectrum. What people are getting their knickers in a twist about is the spectrum of Masculinity and Femininity, which is nothing to do with what sex you are.
Exactly. Male & Female are groups/categories, while masculine & feminine are descriptors of these categories. Personally, I do see gender as a useful concept that is distinct from sex but still correlated to it. It's literally just the norm & not everyone should be expected to conform to the norm.
@@5-Volt i would be careful to call gender a useful concept. By this you already start to follow the ideologs' slippery slope. The gender concept is nonsense. There is s*x and there are role cliches. Thats it. There is no rocket science in it.
I remember when schools started teaching evolution. When my father got home from work, I asked him why the creation story and evolution are so different. His response was they aren't. Both are explanations derived from the knowledge we had at the time. To this day, I think that was a brilliant answer. Thanks Dad. ♥ I miss you very much!
There is a difference, one is based on God's word, knowledge and authority and the other is based on man's limited knowledge, his way if thinking, interpretation and understanding. Yes there is a difference.
Because they were still threatening and harassing adults, twisting science for ideological ends and lying about it. This movement is nothing but a problem.
I thought I was trans at one time and maybe for some it is based in trauma. I think some people associate their sex with their traumas, thinking that they can escape their traumas or prevent them from happening again by doing everything they can to seem like the other sex. For example I can see a female who gets SA'd subconsciously associating this experience with being seen as a woman so they try to be seen as a man.
@@mindlander what do you mean "no you didn't'"? This is what I thought at one time (a long time ago) but I was mistaken. I don't see how my past internal thoughts can be up for debate seeing as I am the only one who has access to them.
@@mindlander No I didn't. Look closely at what I said ". I think some people associate their sex with their traumas, thinking that they can escape their traumas or prevent them from happening again by doing everything they can to seem like the other sex." Why can't someone associate their traumas with their biological sex and try to appear to other people like they're not the sex they actually are? They obviously can't change sex but they can have a drive to try to look like the other sex to other people. Especially if they're trying to look like they don't have a vagina to avoid being roped. In that situation they're specifically trying to look like they don't have eggs, a uterus and other female parts to appear like there is nothing for ropers to "go after'.
@@mindlander gender is the same as sex. Gender roles are social constructs. Gender roles can differ across time and different cultures, gender (i.e. sex) is biological and unchangeable. Please stop spreading gender theory. Gender theory is gender stereotyping. It is pseudoscience.

I absolutely love Colin and his work. I've gotten in so many arguments with people trying to say sex isn't binary when an aspect of my job is helping with prenatal genetic tests that easily & accurately show sex determination. These tests can even show atypical chromosomal arrangements & possible DSDs in the first & second trimester. So the whole "assigned sex at birth" claims are hilarious to me.
@@gazthejaz8910 Correct, because one is a real thing and the other is complete wholesale made-up nonsense that literally doesn't exist. It's a layering of falsehood over top the reality.
@gazthejaz8910 No, we shouldn't confuse them because sex is real, and gender identity is not. You can pretend to be someone else, but that's not an identity. It's a lie.
@JustMe-bu1cp Cancer is real, it's a function determined by a malformation of cell development. Schizophrenia is identifiable by the brain activity in a scan. You can literally look at all these things. Does that make them somehow not an illness? Yes, I agree, having the issue is real, the treatment for the issue is not to pretend that the illness is the correct way of thinking. There's a reason gender dysphoria has been defined as a mental disorder for so long. Because it is one. It's only recently that we've decided to pretend the correct treatment for that issue is to validate it. It's the equivalent of society all collectively deciding that saying people who hear voices should listen to them more and it would be intolerant of us all to say, "no, sorry, you are just hearing things." After all, that is "their truth" right? The "logic" peddlers of this crap have to use is laughable.
People have become condition to be nice instead of kind. There's a huge difference and it is a massive problem as it keeps people from *honestly* speaking their minds.

What bothers me most, is certainly not the idea of transgender (probably beter discribed as transexual) and gender dysphoria, but the rainbow unicornucopia of ridiculous gender identities. Some of these things have nothing whatsoever to do with sex or gender. The so called 'otherkins' (cloudkind, catkind etc.) and such like, actually make a mockery out of sane trans people, who accept their biological sex as well as their gender identity and understand sex and gender to be binary. Im still looking and asking around for proper research (peer reviewed articles) that establshes how gender essentialism was transgessed or usurped to become gender non-binary. I have an interesting analogy. I was born with two hands surprisingly enough. I developed as a right handed person. Unfortunately I had an accident and broke my right arm. Due to complications that aren't relevant, I never regained full use of my right hand. During my convalescence I had to force myself to use my left hand. Since then, neither hand is realy dominant, but I'm not completely ambidextrous either. Now you might suspect im going to ask, whether I'm actually left handed or right handed. NO! My question is *'how many hands do I have?'* Is it TWO? YES! IT'S TWO. Nomatter what my brain wants to do with them or how change them physically (by accident or surgery etc.), the biological reality is that hands usually come in pairs and people take the form of left handed or right handed or some variations of ambidexterity. Whether we are talking about the physical phenotypic traits of left and right hands, or the psychological traits of relative dexterity between those hands the options are BINARY or variable between the binary. Theres no third type of hand or handedness. Even ambidextrous isnt a third type, but a compromise between.TWO possible types.
In Australia at the moment in Victoria the police are looking for a woman and new born baby because evidence of recent birth was found on the banks of a river. The evidence was after birth and the umbilical cord, and the worry is for the safety of both mum and baby……tests were done on the cord and it was discovered the baby is a boy, male. I actually worked with a transgender dr and even they said “I live as a woman, I’ve had surgery to look more like a woman but I will never be able to change my DNA as a male.
@@joshuataylor3550"no one is claiming this" is false. We have biological males insisting they are women and force women to watch the dingaling in lockerrooms, private spaces based on sex (not feelings) are infiltrated for "inclusion" and males are in female sports because "women" is an umbrella and 'feeling'. It is INSANE. The word "woman" always referred to an adult female, until 'ideology' took over and is now a feeling, dress, fashion, lifestyle, erasing women from language and replacing it with 'chestfeeders', birthing persons and "cis".
@@joshuataylor3550I’m really not understanding what you’re saying, are Saying there’s a difference between gender and sex? I made no claim in any way, i didn’t comment on a concept in this debate.
During lunch break a coworker of mine was calling a biologically male student a “she” and I immediately said, “He.” She said that I don’t get to determine who’s female since I’m a male, and that it was a shock to her that I wasn’t more accepting since I’m gay (and so is she). That honestly was a shock to me so thankfully it came to me to ask “Why do you get to determine that the student is a she? That’s a boy and so am I, so if anything you don’t get to use the fact that you’re a female to call a male a she.” I was met with accusations of transphobia, obviously, but I just responded with how this whole thing was started by pedos to deliberately cause division and gain them a foot into society to be more accepted. The looks I received 😂 It is shit like this that will drive me out of education. Pronouns in email signatures of administration is commonplace now too.
Yes. Men need to stop overlooking women's very real objections to the AGP. We don't tolerate people walkkng around in blackface because it's offensive and racist. Rarely does that happen today, but a few generations ago it was incredibly commonplace. Trans/cross dressing is equally offensive and dangerous. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm tired of radical feminist getting silenced and banned when we try to speak on this topic and then get to see men constantly comment, "Why aren't feminist speaking out on this?" It's infuriating!
Yes ,me too. Gender critical women speaking out against this are being silenced by the mob. Why is that? Because we speak the truth obviously. I hate the way men are jumping both on the trans bandwagon and in accusing women of bringing this upon themselves. Women have been in the forefront of the fight to stop this ideology.
Same! “Where are all the feminists?” when radical feminists have been speaking out against this nonsense for years and years before the conservatives asking where all the feminists are, have..
Radical feminists are part of the problem. They have always been on the other side of the issue, crapped on masculinity, and pushed a radical "leftist" agenda for years. Only now are they seeing the consequences of their actions. Anyone who speaks against the agenda is being silenced, but mostly it's just normal women who are finally waking up. Maybe they're feminist, maybe they're not -- and many are beginning to reject feminism, but the only radical thing about them is that they don't believe that a man can become a woman.
Rather than having personality people are now claiming to be a different gender and its their only personality characteristic. Noone feels like they fit in growing up it doesn't mean that you have to choose something that makes no sense just to make yourself unique. The thing is the more people with mental problems saying they are like you the less you feel unique and the worse you will feel. Just grow up realise life isnt as easy as you thought and no matter what you claim to be only hard work and integrating into the workplace will make the money it takes to reach the goals you should be setting rather that the limbs you want chopped off. Theres a reason the suicide rate is high before and after 'changing gender' you have a mental probelm to deal with and saying your something your not isnt going to help it will only make things worse in the long run. Accept who you are and thrive to be what you can become rather than what you say you are and you will be more happy.
I'm supportive of trans people. I don't think you're hateful; I think you're empty. If trans people - who have existed forever (see Nadia winning big brother 20 years ago as voted by the public) - cause you so much distress, you probably have nothing going on in your life.
@@RaptorFromWeegee Activists who want men to be allowed into any and all women's spaces on the basis of the potential for them to say that they identify as women.
Great conversation. I've seen Colin Wright mentioned elsewhere but never heard him speak. Really don't understand how someone who speaks so reasonably and is clearly willing to engage in debate could be objectionable in any organisation.
So if I tell an atheist that I identify as God does that mean they can no longer be an atheist? If they don't accept my identity why should I accept anyone else's identity? Just because someone identifies as something doesn't mean I should be required to accept it or play along. I shouldn't be required to use she/her pronouns if a man identifies as a woman just like you shouldn't be required to bow down and worship me if I identify as God.
no that’s dumb. identity has to be limited to human experiences. and you aren’t required to gender trans people correctly, just like people aren’t required to politely accept your undersocialized behavior
@@aaaaaaaa9189 I would disagree. It's limited to your personal experience, not human experience. If you have a massive fluffy hair, you cannot identify as a bald person. That's within human experience, but you are not bald. Some other human might be. Someone else might be the president of the USA, that's within human experience, but you cannot identify as the president of the USA. Someone else is. Someone who doesn't have legs can identify as disabled. You, who has legs, cannot. So when you are a man, you cannot identify as a woman, since you simply aren't. It is within human experience , but that's true only for women. And ''you cannot'' here simply means that it won't be true if you do. Of course you can say the words, nobody stops you, but your words will be empty and meaningless. So the original commenter's analogy is actually really appropriate.
Please keep to your views and ignore the fools who believe that wishing is enough to change one's sex. There are two sexes and all human beings are either female or male.
Wishing isn't enough and the older I get the more I think even going through some trauma isn't enough. You have to actually be delusional to be happier trans. That is verrrry few people... and certainly 0 children. We need to view puberty as a human right that is illegal to interfere with!!!!
I've never met a trans person who thinks they're changing their chromosomes or getting new gonads or whatever other wild stuff you imagine trans people claiming. They are, however, changing the ways ten trillion somatic cells express genes due to different hormones binding to receptors. It is, in fact, a partial biological change whether you accept the scientific reality of it or not. Nothing's going to change that trans people simply feel more alive and happy in a particular form. To them, transition feels like what losing a bunch of weight feels like to other people. You can't control what makes someone happy. But you can sure infringe on other people's personal liberties because you can't keep your nose out of their business. Up to you.
It’s so sad to see how far Stephen Woodford has swallowed the gender ideology. I sincerely hope he’s doing it because he ‘has’ to due to his income source - YouTubing, i.e. perhaps he literally can’t afford to be cancelled. I do hope he comes back to rationality, but I’m finding it hard to watch him in the meantime, just as I can no longer watch Dillahunty.
@@jezdavis1865Even if he does come back - which should be encouraged - it would be difficult for me to ever take him seriously again.

If he is truly deluded, then his capacity to remain rational in emotional situations is compromised and that can never be ignored in the future.
@@mikeyC79 there’s no such thing as a dishonest assumption. You could accuse me of being suspicious, distrusting or even nasty, but dishonest doesn’t work. If you’d like to know why I’m making this conjecture, it’s because Stephen Woodford is a very shrewd and critical thinker, yet on this single subject he’s displaying none of that. He’s using all the tricks of mental gymnastics employed by transactivists and proponents of gender self-ID to isolate the topic from any sort of rational or scientific critique. He must know this is unreasonable so I suspect that the current, desperately toxic climate has forced him into this position: lie or lose everything. If I were to guess I’d say I’m 80% convinced he’s lying and 20% entertaining the possibility he’s allowed himself to be pulled into believing this twaddle. I don’t know him so I don’t know how much he needs the channel. I’m not judging him either because I’ve also kept my mouth shut to keep a job. I just hope he shows us the rationality again one day.
Dave Smith nail's it when he says movements like this are is a neo liberal thing disguised as left wing. It's not grass roots it's coming top down from the academy, government and industry. It distracts purposefully from real, left wing, grass roots politics concerned with issues that matter to and serve the interests of the many.
There's loads of experts who support trans people, but they get shouted down as being "politically motivated" despite their degrees and experience. But make no mistake, I'm sure anyone who holds your mindset is definitely above politics and any criticism they receive must be "cancellation".
Truth itself has been abandoned. I'm wondering if it's because more life is no longer the goal. We used to always need more humans around to help. This could be the first time in human history where the implanted narrative in everyone's head is "there's too many humans on the planet."

Remember when the atheists would say that without religion we would have idyllic fact based utopias? Well most people have no religion now. How's that working out?

Even Richard Dawkins is so terrified of how Britain is more Islamic now that he can hear the death whistle (call to prayer) now from train stations that he now wants his cake and eat it too by calling Himself a Cultural Christian despite celebrating Christian decline in Britain.
The problem is that Atheist have successfully divorced the idea of religion from Culture when every other non Western Society sees Religion AS part of their culture not separate from it. This prevents atheists from even realizing the Function religion actually has in Society that is separate from their materialistic understanding of it. We now see what removing religion does to a Society. And all Atheist could have done to prevent it is literally the enforcement of a Philosophy religion on Society similar to Confucianism. But they cannot do that because Atheist do not even believe in Objective morals Anyways.

@@ComplexConfiguration *Sex* is a physiological attribute. *Gender* is a socially constructed concept. *Identity* is the psychological concept of the self. *Gender:* Formed through continuous interactions and negotiations among society's members, meant to figure out and determine the sex of *other people,* without the need for direct inquiry of their sex. Oftentimes associated with a categorization of secondary sex traits, etc... This is society as a whole, attempting to find heuristics (mental shortcuts that your brain uses such as stereotyping) to quickly identify what sex of an individual is. Thus, there can be no more than 4 genders (though there are usually 3), male, female, and "other" (both and/or neither). AKA a man, a woman, hermaphrodite, and unknown. Part of the problem is the conflation of these three different fields of study, the physiological/biological, the sociological/socially constructed concepts , and the psychological realm of self-identity. Even when people try to differentiate say two of the fields, they still often conflate with the third.
And yes, when you refer to the biological sex of the species Homo sapiens sapiens (us), we are both gonochoric and sexually dimorphic (two sexes, and they are different).
@@joshuataylor3550you can prove biological sex. You can’t prove “gender”. Believing in gender, as has been said before, is akin to a religious belief in a soul.
These discussions are very important right now because we are seeing actual medical doctrine being changed for ideology purposes. We are starting to employ doctors that have been taught this new science and it needs to be nipped at the bud before it gets even more out of control. We are in dangerous territory when two people can both cite medical journals that completely contradict each others statements.

Thank you for doing this Andrew. It’s getting so frustrating to just keep hearing the ‘I was born in the wrong body’ argument being accepted as complete fact, and something humanity now just has to not only accept (which is one thing in itself), we now have to tolerate ‘activists’ who are taking part in seemingly nothing more than pop-psychology, and trying to dictate the way the rest of us have to speak just so they can get that validation through oppression they need, because they saw so many others decades before them do the same that they looked up to or whatever, but simply do not HAVE to deal with the same issues today. I also keep hearing - ‘Trans people are being beaten/killed all the time’, of which I have yet to see any major evidence or news reports of, and ‘I grew up witnessing the struggle of so and so’, which honestly just translates to ‘I saw this on tv and wanted to face the same struggles and emerge like the strong butterfly too!!’, and I’m honestly just glad someone has the balls to stand up to this and put themselves and their career right now entirely on the line just to have to make truth the ultimate deciding factor. You really are doing great things for the world, not just the typical capitalist TH-camr trying to get rich quick. So again, sincerely, thank you.
He's right Darwin was wonderful if you read his work and about his struggles with evolution despite his faith and contemporary society, he tried to keep to what the evidence was pointing at. his house in Downe, Kent is wonderful to visit where you can see some of the experiments he did "literally in his own back garden" apart from his travels and specimens collections. Stick to what the truth tells one, not what one would prefer to tell oneself or others. For this reason I can't agree with this enforcement of social standards that tells people 1) What to think or believe concerning the Trans debate. A man even if psychologically they feel like they are a woman is still a man and it's a mercy of others to adjust their behaviour for this person's own sake - it's not ever going to work where you have a system telling people that a man is a woman because of the above reason. The whole approach to dealing with people who have these complications in their lives needs to be re-evaluated - ultimately for their own benefit and peace of mind let alone everyone else operating a normal life within a society.

Sharon Osborne said something that made sense to me. These youngsters who all at once believe they are not the sex they were born are trying to find "their tribe". They are confused and humans tend to come together when they have the same beliefs. To kind of "believe" they are unique and superior in some sort of way. I'm sorry, they are being manipulated.
Why do some teenagers seem to have a more desperate need to find a “tribe” than others? And why are they usually female? My hypothesis is that, as a result of the effects of patriarchy on the female psyche, very many mothers unconsciously and preemptively reject their daughters as they start becoming women in an attempt to avoid going through the extreme pain again that they experienced as girls when their mothers rejected them. When a girl goes through puberty, her mother begins to see her own mother in her. If she had a loving and accepting mother, she will welcome her daughter’s womanhood, but if she had a rejecting and insecure mother, she will fear it more than anything. Everything we know about women, we learn from our mothers. Women with rejecting, insecure mothers can handle their daughters when they are little, because they aren’t women yet and they are experienced by their mothers more as objects that can be controlled. Please do not take this as me blaming women for rejecting their daughters. We are all products of our circumstances and I don’t believe in free will. But it is impossible to address an issue when we are in denial about what the root of the issue is. I can say that I have caused my children suffering and pain without believing I am a bad person or a bad mother, but in our very black and white world, to criticize someone, especially a mother, is to necessarily imply she is a bad person/mother. Under patriarchy, girls are conditioned to believe that if they do anything “wrong”, they are worthy of discard. Beyond redemption. So they learn they must deny all wrong doing, and never acknowledge their roles in the suffering of their children, to themselves or anyone else. This is why patriarchy is so disempowering. It conditions us to never look within, because if we do, we will find something we don’t like, others will see it, and we will be thrown away. Nothing is more empowering than acknowledging the roles we play, and making an effort to change course. Patriarchy makes accountability terrifying for women, and especially for mothers.

Many girls grow up without any mother, they're brought up by single fathers. No greater amount of LGBT among them. No difference between the two groups in the percentage of girls running out and getting sex change ops.

Judith Butler's idea that "everything is a social construct" falls victim to the epistemology that day one Philosophers are supposed to learn: If 'everything is a social construct ' then the notion that everything is a social construct is therefore a social construct and is specifically invalidated as an objective method of understanding, making it false.

Science is a and the method for discernment between subjective and objective analysis. It's just that simple.

I was attacked verbally and physically at the University of Pittsburgh for disagreeing with students. They said we have 90+ genders. I told them we have two. They lost their minds and complained. I was not offered a teaching contract the next year.
90+ genders!?!?!?! Wth??? how the hell do they come up with 90+genders??? Was this in Pittsburgh, PA? Or another place?
I am retired and somewhat reclusive, so I don't have actual conversations about this.. But I have some thoughts about a hypothetical conversation. First, I would ask what the others mean by 'gender' and how 'gender' relates to 'sex'. Also, it seems to me that 'gender' is meaningless now, because there are so many genders, that it might as well mean the same thing as 'personality'. Gender seems to be either something immutable that we are born with, while at the same time being fluid and changeable. Again: meaningless. But we are a sexually reproducing species. I can't form a bud that splits off and grows into another human. There is no third gamete.
Could the list all 90? 😊 Joke aside, how did we come to a point where we are threatened with violence for our views? It is harassment.
Gender ideology is an extension of a larger more dangerous issue. Put your tin foil hat on…
The methods with which gender ideologues silence and demand compliance is a kin of Marxist strategies (there are videos of blm engaging in struggle sessions, etc.) You’ll see this parallel blm, antifa, anti-west, pro Palestine activists.
Now it’s important to note not all involved espouse this rhetoric, many students are just used to push an agenda, also there is a genuine trans population out their but they understand reality and it’s unfortunate they are associated with those who are extreme. but there are plenty of which do.
I suspect the ultimate goal is to have a revolution in the west. James Lindsey talks about this in length but it’s intense to listen to and I don’t agree with everything he says. If you have interest, a good middle ground is a video titled, “The Forgotten Marxists of the 60’s”

Wow, today we need a evolutionary biologist to deliver a long winded explanation about a basic fact, every child understood intuitively until a few years ago. XX is not XY.
Yeah, but remember that the sex determination system is not the same as sex. Thus conflation is used by ideologues to pretend that sex is a spectrum.
@@sebastiansirvas1530 XX = female, XY = male. There is no spectrum, with mammals it is binary. You're one or the other, and cannot change that. Now, there are some basidiomycetes with 4 sexes, but we're not mushrooms.
There are many "boys" who are born XX while there are many more girls that are born XY. There are also a relatively small number of both girls and boys who are born "true hermaphrodites", having both large and small gametes. Colin's gamete criteria is simply not applicable in the real world of either human or non-human biology in the animal kingdom. This is one of the reasons why so very many university professors prohibit heretical views like those of Colin's from being used as research material for college research papers.

Arguing about how many "genders" there are with the "woke" - is like the medieval theological debates about "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin." In other words the "woke" position is simply an irrational faith based religious debate - rather than a "scientific" debate at all.

“Refrain from having strong opinions until you’ve done a sufficient amount of research” is a line that more and more people need to take to heart these days. It’s okay to just admit you’re not well informed enough on a subject to have an opinion.
It gets down to "burden of proof". If someone comes to you asserting that everyone MUST cut off their left pinky in order to reduce harm and racism, I don't think you bare the burden of producing a, "sufficient amount of research" before adopting a strong opinion.
The person preaching an extreme deviation from previously held common sense, ought to bare the burden of PROVING why we should make this extreme change. Not the guy saying, "What? Wait, hold on, what do you wanna do to my children's pinky fingers?" Thats how it works in my book.
@@RaptorFromWeegee I agree. My original point was more about having a strong opinion on a subject you’re not informed about. But simply rejecting someone’s assertion on the basis that they have not sufficiently proven their point doesn’t require a strong opinion. You’re not taking the opposing view, you’re just saying “based on what you’ve told me, I don’t think you’ve satisfied your evidentiary burden and so I reject your claim.”
Fair enough but some people will say they are always on the side that needs no evidence 'because the other side is always unreasonable' but actually we just want our opinions to be the ones that are agreed with. I certainly can't disagree with "I'm not a vet but I know what a dog is".

Finally! A biologist with common sense that knows biology, unlike Forrest Valkai.
Forrest isn’t a biologist, he’s an ideologue
@@cyclicozone2072 Yeah, he doesn't have a single paper written in his name, he just has a youtube channel where he explains "science" to children and likes to pretend he's an expert.
Dude's a hack
Check out Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying (Darkhorse podcast). Both are evolutionary biologists, too, and have defended gamete
type as demonstrating the sex binary in animals and plants. (Fungus are different.)
I've seen someone else, also an evolutionary biologist, speak to this point, but I've seen him only once and don't remember his name.
Most of what he says is largely meaningless He's an evolutionary biologist he has specific intentions and needs and defines things a specific way for his particular science and evolutionary biologist is going to summarily ignore intersex for example even though there's 130 million of these people they're not fictional they're not fairy tales they exist because from an evolutionary perspective they're irrelevant most of them are sterile and can't reproduce so he doesn't care they're a dead end
He even tells you in the beginning he defines sex differently than for example a doctor does it's based on need and use They both have a different need and use for sex so they're going to define them differently both of their definitions mean nothing in the bigger picture what matters is how do people define sex
We don't mean what gametes do you have when we put mail or female on a job application we mean do you have tits do you have a vagina do you have a penis that's what we mean do you look like a woman or do you look like a man which genitals do you have hanging between your legs That's what we mean when we say male or female
The things that can define that go well beyond what he would use to define sex gametes chromosomes I think 26 some odd genes can impact your sexual appearance and of course your actual sex and your actual gender your genitals
Would it surprise you to know that the human species has four sexes? Would that surprise you? Would that make your brain smoke? Male female hermaphrodite in eunuch The latter two medically referred to as intersex.
So to drive my point home you're a small business owner you put out a job request One of the entries on your form is sex and because we're picking at straws here you want to be exactly right correct you want them to put down the correct sex right why else would you have that on the form?
So an intersection individual walks into your business there are hermaphrodite and they ask you politely which sex would you like me to put down which one are you buddy I'm both which one would you like me to put down because you are a Neanderthal you yank their pants down and see oh yeah he or she or I'm confused has both a penis and a vagina now that you've embarrassed yourself and them which sex would you like them to mark down?
Oh we got an even better one The next job applicant when you say what which one are you and this person says well I'm neither and of course you make a fool yourself and Yank this person's pants down and sure enough they got neither No penis no vagina which sex do they put down? Do we let you decide do we let them decide? what do they look like visually some might look like a woman some might look like a man some might look very androgynous you can't really tell which one they look like??
Is your brain done smoking yet? Let me burn those last few neurons now this hermaphrodite and this eunuch which gender do they put down? :-) Pop there goes your last set of neurons
I started to feel quite uncomfortable watching Forrest giving away his scientific honesty for the sake of fitting in a group that transitioned (pun intended) from discussion religion to preaching gender religion. I’m even moving away from participating in atheistic chats, where I have, on the other hand, met quite nice people. It’s disheartening and deeply disappointing seeing intellectually valid people being carried along with this collective delusion.

Gender is a Latin word that just means a group of anything, and comes from a family of words, genre, genus and general all meaning a group of anything. The uptight middle class Victorians ( the sanctimonious woketards of that era) started to use the word gender instead of sex because they didn't like the other meaning of the word sex meaning to copulate.So gender actually means the opposite of a spectrum. What people are getting their knickers in a twist about is the spectrum of Masculinity and Femininity, which is nothing to do with what sex you are.
Exactly. We should reject the term gender and its claim in the first place.
Exactly. They keep confusing male/female with masculine/feminime.
I learned gender as a grammatical concept in French where all nouns are masculine or feminine.
Exactly. Male & Female are groups/categories, while masculine & feminine are descriptors of these categories. Personally, I do see gender as a useful concept that is distinct from sex but still correlated to it. It's literally just the norm & not everyone should be expected to conform to the norm.
@@5-Volt i would be careful to call gender a useful concept. By this you already start to follow the ideologs' slippery slope.
The gender concept is nonsense. There is s*x and there are role cliches. Thats it. There is no rocket science in it.
I remember when schools started teaching evolution. When my father got home from work, I asked him why the creation story and evolution are so different. His response was they aren't. Both are explanations derived from the knowledge we had at the time. To this day, I think that was a brilliant answer. Thanks Dad. ♥ I miss you very much!
Funny the more knowledge we get about our world, ourselves only confirms creation. It cannot confirm evolution since evolution is still an idea.
There is a difference, one is based on God's word, knowledge and authority and the other is based on man's limited knowledge, his way if thinking, interpretation and understanding. Yes there is a difference.

I thought I was trans at one time and maybe for some it is based in trauma. I think some people associate their sex with their traumas, thinking that they can escape their traumas or prevent them from happening again by doing everything they can to seem like the other sex. For example I can see a female who gets SA'd subconsciously associating this experience with being seen as a woman so they try to be seen as a man.
No you didn't.
@@mindlander what do you mean "no you didn't'"? This is what I thought at one time (a long time ago) but I was mistaken. I don't see how my past internal thoughts can be up for debate seeing as I am the only one who has access to them.
@@simhthmss because you mean gender. Sex is a biological reality. Gender is more of a social/psychological construct. You mean gender, not sex.
@@mindlander No I didn't. Look closely at what I said ". I think some people associate their sex with their traumas, thinking that they can escape their traumas or prevent them from happening again by doing everything they can to seem like the other sex." Why can't someone associate their traumas with their biological sex and try to appear to other people like they're not the sex they actually are? They obviously can't change sex but they can have a drive to try to look like the other sex to other people. Especially if they're trying to look like they don't have a vagina to avoid being roped. In that situation they're specifically trying to look like they don't have eggs, a uterus and other female parts to appear like there is nothing for ropers to "go after'.
@@mindlander gender is the same as sex. Gender roles are social constructs. Gender roles can differ across time and different cultures, gender (i.e. sex) is biological and unchangeable. Please stop spreading gender theory. Gender theory is gender stereotyping. It is pseudoscience.

I absolutely love Colin and his work. I've gotten in so many arguments with people trying to say sex isn't binary when an aspect of my job is helping with prenatal genetic tests that easily & accurately show sex determination. These tests can even show atypical chromosomal arrangements & possible DSDs in the first & second trimester. So the whole "assigned sex at birth" claims are hilarious to me.
We shouldn’t confuse gender identity with sex though
@@gazthejaz8910 I agree. I would never claim gender dysphoria isn't real.
@@gazthejaz8910 Correct, because one is a real thing and the other is complete wholesale made-up nonsense that literally doesn't exist. It's a layering of falsehood over top the reality.
@gazthejaz8910 No, we shouldn't confuse them because sex is real, and gender identity is not. You can pretend to be someone else, but that's not an identity. It's a lie.
@JustMe-bu1cp Cancer is real, it's a function determined by a malformation of cell development. Schizophrenia is identifiable by the brain activity in a scan. You can literally look at all these things. Does that make them somehow not an illness? Yes, I agree, having the issue is real, the treatment for the issue is not to pretend that the illness is the correct way of thinking. There's a reason gender dysphoria has been defined as a mental disorder for so long. Because it is one. It's only recently that we've decided to pretend the correct treatment for that issue is to validate it. It's the equivalent of society all collectively deciding that saying people who hear voices should listen to them more and it would be intolerant of us all to say, "no, sorry, you are just hearing things." After all, that is "their truth" right? The "logic" peddlers of this crap have to use is laughable.
People have become condition to be nice instead of kind. There's a huge difference and it is a massive problem as it keeps people from *honestly* speaking their minds.
That said, the gonads make so much sense. I hadn't even thought about that. You either have testes or ovaries. You cannot have both.

Straight off the bat.... this guy speaks exactly how I think.
Exactly..I think a lot of people agree 👍👍✅✅
@johnsams5698 I know we all agree on the content pretty much, I meant more the blatantly autistic, black and white, spade is a spade, scientific reasoning 😅
What bothers me most, is certainly not the idea of transgender (probably beter discribed as transexual) and gender dysphoria, but the rainbow unicornucopia of ridiculous gender identities. Some of these things have nothing whatsoever to do with sex or gender. The so called 'otherkins' (cloudkind, catkind etc.) and such like, actually make a mockery out of sane trans people, who accept their biological sex as well as their gender identity and understand sex and gender to be binary.
Im still looking and asking around for proper research (peer reviewed articles) that establshes how gender essentialism was transgessed or usurped to become gender non-binary.
I have an interesting analogy. I was born with two hands surprisingly enough. I developed as a right handed person. Unfortunately I had an accident and broke my right arm.
Due to complications that aren't relevant, I never regained full use of my right hand. During my convalescence I had to force myself to use my left hand. Since then, neither hand is realy dominant, but I'm not completely ambidextrous either.
Now you might suspect im going to ask, whether I'm actually left handed or right handed. NO! My question is *'how many hands do I have?'* Is it TWO? YES! IT'S TWO. Nomatter what my brain wants to do with them or how change them physically (by accident or surgery etc.), the biological reality is that hands usually come in pairs and people take the form of left handed or right handed or some variations of ambidexterity. Whether we are talking about the physical phenotypic traits of left and right hands, or the psychological traits of relative dexterity between those hands the options are BINARY or variable between the binary. Theres no third type of hand or handedness. Even ambidextrous isnt a third type, but a compromise between.TWO possible types.
In Australia at the moment in Victoria the police are looking for a woman and new born baby because evidence of recent birth was found on the banks of a river. The evidence was after birth and the umbilical cord, and the worry is for the safety of both mum and baby……tests were done on the cord and it was discovered the baby is a boy, male. I actually worked with a transgender dr and even they said “I live as a woman, I’ve had surgery to look more like a woman but I will never be able to change my DNA as a male.
No one is claiming this, this is exactly why gender and sex describe the two different concepts you outline
@@joshuataylor3550"no one is claiming this" is false. We have biological males insisting they are women and force women to watch the dingaling in lockerrooms, private spaces based on sex (not feelings) are infiltrated for "inclusion" and males are in female sports because "women" is an umbrella and 'feeling'. It is INSANE. The word "woman" always referred to an adult female, until 'ideology' took over and is now a feeling, dress, fashion, lifestyle, erasing women from language and replacing it with 'chestfeeders', birthing persons and "cis".
@@joshuataylor3550I’m really not understanding what you’re saying, are Saying there’s a difference between gender and sex? I made no claim in any way, i didn’t comment on a concept in this debate.
During lunch break a coworker of mine was calling a biologically male student a “she” and I immediately said, “He.”
She said that I don’t get to determine who’s female since I’m a male, and that it was a shock to her that I wasn’t more accepting since I’m gay (and so is she).
That honestly was a shock to me so thankfully it came to me to ask “Why do you get to determine that the student is a she? That’s a boy and so am I, so if anything you don’t get to use the fact that you’re a female to call a male a she.” I was met with accusations of transphobia, obviously, but I just responded with how this whole thing was started by pedos to deliberately cause division and gain them a foot into society to be more accepted. The looks I received 😂
It is shit like this that will drive me out of education. Pronouns in email signatures of administration is commonplace now too.

I'm glad that you aren't bothered by them being an AGP, but women feel violated, demeaned and angry, as our feelings and rights are being eroded.
Yes. Men need to stop overlooking women's very real objections to the AGP. We don't tolerate people walkkng around in blackface because it's offensive and racist. Rarely does that happen today, but a few generations ago it was incredibly commonplace. Trans/cross dressing is equally offensive and dangerous. 🤷🏾♀️
I'm tired of radical feminist getting silenced and banned when we try to speak on this topic and then get to see men constantly comment, "Why aren't feminist speaking out on this?" It's infuriating!
Yes ,me too. Gender critical women speaking out against this are being silenced by the mob.
Why is that? Because we speak the truth obviously.
I hate the way men are jumping both on the trans bandwagon and in accusing women of bringing this upon themselves.
Women have been in the forefront of the fight to stop this ideology.
Good point!! Women like JK Rowling were the first ones trying to point this stuff out...
💯 And 4th wavers saying 'well I'm a feminist and I support my ~twans sistews~' 🤦♂️
Same! “Where are all the feminists?” when radical feminists have been speaking out against this nonsense for years and years before the conservatives asking where all the feminists are, have..
Radical feminists are part of the problem. They have always been on the other side of the issue, crapped on masculinity, and pushed a radical "leftist" agenda for years. Only now are they seeing the consequences of their actions.
Anyone who speaks against the agenda is being silenced, but mostly it's just normal women who are finally waking up. Maybe they're feminist, maybe they're not -- and many are beginning to reject feminism, but the only radical thing about them is that they don't believe that a man can become a woman.
Rather than having personality people are now claiming to be a different gender and its their only personality characteristic. Noone feels like they fit in growing up it doesn't mean that you have to choose something that makes no sense just to make yourself unique. The thing is the more people with mental problems saying they are like you the less you feel unique and the worse you will feel. Just grow up realise life isnt as easy as you thought and no matter what you claim to be only hard work and integrating into the workplace will make the money it takes to reach the goals you should be setting rather that the limbs you want chopped off. Theres a reason the suicide rate is high before and after 'changing gender' you have a mental probelm to deal with and saying your something your not isnt going to help it will only make things worse in the long run. Accept who you are and thrive to be what you can become rather than what you say you are and you will be more happy.
This guy is amazing, fantastic conversation. Biological sex explained with such a clarity!
I've had exactly the same response from TRA relatives; any kind of skepticism about gender ideology and you're "hateful".

Great conversation. I've seen Colin Wright mentioned elsewhere but never heard him speak. Really don't understand how someone who speaks so reasonably and is clearly willing to engage in debate could be objectionable in any organisation.
So if I tell an atheist that I identify as God does that mean they can no longer be an atheist? If they don't accept my identity why should I accept anyone else's identity? Just because someone identifies as something doesn't mean I should be required to accept it or play along. I shouldn't be required to use she/her pronouns if a man identifies as a woman just like you shouldn't be required to bow down and worship me if I identify as God.
no that’s dumb. identity has to be limited to human experiences. and you aren’t required to gender trans people correctly, just like people aren’t required to politely accept your undersocialized behavior
@@aaaaaaaa9189 I would disagree. It's limited to your personal experience, not human experience. If you have a massive fluffy hair, you cannot identify as a bald person. That's within human experience, but you are not bald. Some other human might be. Someone else might be the president of the USA, that's within human experience, but you cannot identify as the president of the USA. Someone else is. Someone who doesn't have legs can identify as disabled. You, who has legs, cannot. So when you are a man, you cannot identify as a woman, since you simply aren't. It is within human experience , but that's true only for women. And ''you cannot'' here simply means that it won't be true if you do. Of course you can say the words, nobody stops you, but your words will be empty and meaningless. So the original commenter's analogy is actually really appropriate.

Please then, what do you make of the people identifying at animals or objects?
Please keep to your views and ignore the fools who believe that wishing is enough to change one's sex. There are two sexes and all human beings are either female or male.
Correctly said👍
Wishing isn't enough and the older I get the more I think even going through some trauma isn't enough. You have to actually be delusional to be happier trans. That is verrrry few people... and certainly 0 children. We need to view puberty as a human right that is illegal to interfere with!!!!
@@KatMoore-ih6mw absolutely. It shocks me that any sane adult believes children are capable of making such choices before reaching their majority.
In some languages there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
Never thought I’d see so many willing and proud neuters around.
I've never met a trans person who thinks they're changing their chromosomes or getting new gonads or whatever other wild stuff you imagine trans people claiming. They are, however, changing the ways ten trillion somatic cells express genes due to different hormones binding to receptors. It is, in fact, a partial biological change whether you accept the scientific reality of it or not.
Nothing's going to change that trans people simply feel more alive and happy in a particular form. To them, transition feels like what losing a bunch of weight feels like to other people. You can't control what makes someone happy. But you can sure infringe on other people's personal liberties because you can't keep your nose out of their business. Up to you.
Colin Wright should make a youtube channel, I saw him debating Rationality rules and I loved it
It’s so sad to see how far Stephen Woodford has swallowed the gender ideology. I sincerely hope he’s doing it because he ‘has’ to due to his income source - YouTubing, i.e. perhaps he literally can’t afford to be cancelled. I do hope he comes back to rationality, but I’m finding it hard to watch him in the meantime, just as I can no longer watch Dillahunty.
@@jezdavis1865Even if he does come back - which should be encouraged - it would be difficult for me to ever take him seriously again.
If he is just doing it for money, then he is intellectually dishonest and that cannot be entirely forgiven.
If he is truly deluded, then his capacity to remain rational in emotional situations is compromised and that can never be ignored in the future.
Kind of dishonest to assume he doesnt genuinely believe this because he believes in it. He strikes me as an epistemlogocially honest guy
@@mikeyC79 there’s no such thing as a dishonest assumption. You could accuse me of being suspicious, distrusting or even nasty, but dishonest doesn’t work.
If you’d like to know why I’m making this conjecture, it’s because Stephen Woodford is a very shrewd and critical thinker, yet on this single subject he’s displaying none of that. He’s using all the tricks of mental gymnastics employed by transactivists and proponents of gender self-ID to isolate the topic from any sort of rational or scientific critique. He must know this is unreasonable so I suspect that the current, desperately toxic climate has forced him into this position: lie or lose everything.
If I were to guess I’d say I’m 80% convinced he’s lying and 20% entertaining the possibility he’s allowed himself to be pulled into believing this twaddle. I don’t know him so I don’t know how much he needs the channel. I’m not judging him either because I’ve also kept my mouth shut to keep a job. I just hope he shows us the rationality again one day.

Dave Smith nail's it when he says movements like this are is a neo liberal thing disguised as left wing. It's not grass roots it's coming top down from the academy, government and industry. It distracts purposefully from real, left wing, grass roots politics concerned with issues that matter to and serve the interests of the many.
That is troubling when even experts in the field get cancelled that means they don't give a shyt about science or evidence.
There's loads of experts who support trans people, but they get shouted down as being "politically motivated" despite their degrees and experience. But make no mistake, I'm sure anyone who holds your mindset is definitely above politics and any criticism they receive must be "cancellation".
Truth itself has been abandoned. I'm wondering if it's because more life is no longer the goal. We used to always need more humans around to help. This could be the first time in human history where the implanted narrative in everyone's head is "there's too many humans on the planet."

When people stop believing in God they do become capable of believing in Everything.
And side note. Even Richard Dawkins is so terrified of how Britain is more Islamic now that he can hear the death whistle (call to prayer) now from train stations that he now wants his cake and eat it too by calling Himself a Cultural Christian despite celebrating Christian decline in Britain.
The problem is that Atheist have successfully divorced the idea of religion from Culture when every other non Western Society sees Religion AS part of their culture not separate from it.
This prevents atheists from even realizing the Function religion actually has in Society that is separate from their materialistic understanding of it.
We now see what removing religion does to a Society.
And all Atheist could have done to prevent it is literally the enforcement of a Philosophy religion on Society similar to Confucianism.
But they cannot do that because Atheist do not even believe in Objective morals Anyways.

Biological differences is real.
Everyone agrees, but gender is too
@@joshuataylor3550 no gender roles are a construct, mutable everchanging things, there is some biological rooting for gender roles, but this is a personality and identity psychological issue. and a cultural issue, social thing. stereo typical gender roles and the reinforcing those is a bad idea anyway.. i thouth we wanted eligatrism.. not for people to go,.. oh no i dont feel like a masculine man and i am homosexual , i should be a woman.. this is.. a really bad strategy and it makes the stereo typical gender roles even worse and extreme.
@@ComplexConfiguration
*Sex* is a physiological attribute.
*Gender* is a socially constructed concept.
*Identity* is the psychological concept of the self.
*Gender:* Formed through continuous interactions and negotiations among society's members, meant to figure out and determine the sex of *other people,* without the need for direct inquiry of their sex. Oftentimes associated with a categorization of secondary sex traits, etc... This is society as a whole, attempting to find heuristics (mental shortcuts that your brain uses such as stereotyping) to quickly identify what sex of an individual is.
Thus, there can be no more than 4 genders (though there are usually 3), male, female, and "other" (both and/or neither). AKA a man, a woman, hermaphrodite, and unknown.
Part of the problem is the conflation of these three different fields of study, the physiological/biological, the sociological/socially constructed concepts , and the psychological realm of self-identity. Even when people try to differentiate say two of the fields, they still often conflate with the third.
And yes, when you refer to the biological sex of the species Homo sapiens sapiens (us), we are both gonochoric and sexually dimorphic (two sexes, and they are different).
@@joshuataylor3550you can prove biological sex. You can’t prove “gender”. Believing in gender, as has been said before, is akin to a religious belief in a soul.
These discussions are very important right now because we are seeing actual medical doctrine being changed for ideology purposes. We are starting to employ doctors that have been taught this new science and it needs to be nipped at the bud before it gets even more out of control. We are in dangerous territory when two people can both cite medical journals that completely contradict each others statements.
Example?
I love how we now have to discuss the subjects of a first year biology class that we all learnt around the age of 10. Perhaps it was so long ago for some that they lost memory of that
Thank you for doing this Andrew.
It’s getting so frustrating to just keep hearing the ‘I was born in the wrong body’ argument being accepted as complete fact, and something humanity now just has to not only accept (which is one thing in itself), we now have to tolerate ‘activists’ who are taking part in seemingly nothing more than pop-psychology, and trying to dictate the way the rest of us have to speak just so they can get that validation through oppression they need, because they saw so many others decades before them do the same that they looked up to or whatever, but simply do not HAVE to deal with the same issues today.
I also keep hearing - ‘Trans people are being beaten/killed all the time’, of which I have yet to see any major evidence or news reports of, and ‘I grew up witnessing the struggle of so and so’, which honestly just translates to ‘I saw this on tv and wanted to face the same struggles and emerge like the strong butterfly too!!’, and I’m honestly just glad someone has the balls to stand up to this and put themselves and their career right now entirely on the line just to have to make truth the ultimate deciding factor.
You really are doing great things for the world, not just the typical capitalist TH-camr trying to get rich quick.
So again, sincerely, thank you.
He's right Darwin was wonderful if you read his work and about his struggles with evolution despite his faith and contemporary society, he tried to keep to what the evidence was pointing at. his house in Downe, Kent is wonderful to visit where you can see some of the experiments he did "literally in his own back garden" apart from his travels and specimens collections.
Stick to what the truth tells one, not what one would prefer to tell oneself or others.
For this reason I can't agree with this enforcement of social standards that tells people 1) What to think or believe concerning the Trans debate. A man even if psychologically they feel like they are a woman is still a man and it's a mercy of others to adjust their behaviour for this person's own sake - it's not ever going to work where you have a system telling people that a man is a woman because of the above reason. The whole approach to dealing with people who have these complications in their lives needs to be re-evaluated - ultimately for their own benefit and peace of mind let alone everyone else operating a normal life within a society.
Thanks for the heads-up about Darwin's house in Kent. I'm a Londoner and had never heard about it! (Some might say typical Londoner - M25 all that😃 )
@@anth080 Happy to hear it! To be fair, London is an awesome city to live in if you have lots of connections and live in a good area, can't blame you! Get out there on a sunny day outside holiday time and I think the best thing is bringing the history to life in the present by experiencing it first hand, like all these places. Britain has one of the most amazing histories of any nation in the world afterall - I imagine many other nations look at it that way... and it's probably true. Funny to think that given all the S! we put up with...
Supporting Trans nonsense is not “Coming Out” at all its being thrown into a completely different but just as damaging an ideology or dogma as any cult or religion!
I wish we had a Colin in every category.
Been following my man Colin for years at this point......
