Matt Walsh has a million reasons to be in the closet and not one of them means he's not lgbtq himself. He's sublimating. He needs the most help.
@@dansaber4427 Could Matt Walsh be a Pedophile but hasn't sexually abused any children ?
@@KatyReminiec9399 you just have to look upon someone with lust to sin
enjoy 2 memberships for the price of 1? seems a bit gay and i dont like it. we just need to accept the ONE MEMBERSHIP and that any more is unnatural and sinful. NO THANKS
@@dansaber4427
Wow how profound. We should go tell our sweet daddy Walsh to command his onslaught of the sweet baby gang to convert into having our genitals chemically castrated. Thank you so much for helping me realize this, I will never forget this day.
I didn't hear the term asexual until I was 50 years old, and in reading the article that explained it, I suddenly understood my life. Get the information to kids!
Exactly! It's sad to see that a book all about LGBTQIA+ terms uses A for ally instead of aro or ace (or aroace)
Resonates. I was 36.
In second year of elementary school we should draw a time line of our dream life. I was the only one who had no wife/husband. I got preassured by just beeing asked why and comments instead of beeing educated. I had to spend 14 more years living in confusion...
Shame on you
You should get that checked out
Matt Walsh lying awake in cold sweat in his bed at midnight, eyes wide open, absolutely terrified that some LGBT person, somewhere, is happy.
None of you are happy. That's why you're killing yourselves, haha.
@@KitchenerLeslieGirlfrien-bv2mm to be fair you're the one who's only hobby is yelling at gender minorities.
@@cheddar950 Gender minorities? Haha
@@KitchenerLeslieGirlfrien-bv2mm what's so funny that you have to fake laugh to try to invalidate my comment?
Maybe there's one hiding in his closet?.
I lost all my hair as a 6 year old by reading a book about bald people.
How can you justify teaching children about DRAG, BISEXUAL, GAY, TRANS stuff is a good thing?
@@redskull4949 How can you justify not teaching children about people and society?
I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and when I woke up the next morning.....
@Red Skull knowledge and facts are a good thing. Teaching about it is therefore good. What direct harm does kids take from knowing about gay, bisexuality, transgender people and drag. Except for the harm from extremely conservative parents who might punish the kid for knowing about such things.
@@eros9093 Because teaching children all these stuff would make them confuse.
I've always liked Eddie Izzard's quote, "they're not women's clothes, they're MY clothes. *I* bought them"
Susan izzard
Now I’m picturing Tyrion Lannister in drag for some reason. Why did that just happen? Wtf is this sorcery?
Iggy Pop said something along the lines of I don’t take offense to insults when I’m dressed like a woman because I don’t think that being a woman is offensive.
@@musakh8erable i mean the full name is suzy eddie izzard, so either works i'd say
Heh, I've used this quote before, not realizing I was quoting anybody. Thank you for adding "in the words of Eddy Izzard" for me 😊
As an aroace person, the book saying “A is for Ally” is just 💀
Yes, I hate when people say this, like an ally has more place than us. And so many people says it with ignorance, all proud of 'knowing' what the A stands for and disinforming other people...
@@spacecat6022 Lmao, this isn't a dictionary.
Yeah, I just went to check out the book and when I saw A for ally in the description I was like "Why, just why"
@@alalalala57 You didn't even read my explanation if you think I only take it as a dictionary word. Read it again and try to put your mind in it to comprehend. Or just don't read, I do not care.
yeah it really would have been nice for it to mention ace/aro. i remember thinking i was the purest christian growing up bc i didn't struggle with sexuality lol. then i got yelled at when it came out that i had no idea what my mom was talking about when she asked me if i didn't like boys lmao. like she was describing having sexual attraction and young me was horrified 😂😂 she was angry and she still doesn't believe me hahahaha

There's more intersex people on earth than there are redheads or people with green eyes, but don't tell MAP Walsh that. 🤷♀🤷♀
MAP Walsh, that's a good one
And according to MAP Walsh, the number grew over 70% over the course of a couple of minutes.
@@simond.455 Rapid Onset "Intersex Medical Condition" 😂🤣
What's funny is AJ was wrong by about an order of magnitude, 1.7% of the us population is over 5 million people.
Yes, but there are just as many reasons to disapprove of people with red hair. The same number of reasons = 0
Objectionable, creepy, insane and disgusting. Congratulations on accurately describing yourself there Matt Walsh!!!
Timing at 20:25 is perfect.
"He's an idiot"
Walsh: "That's true, I can't disagree with that."
lol
XD yea that make me laugh
I did not realize that at first. That's hilarious, thanks
_Matted Beardson Proudly Resents:_ a simplified approach within a child’s book.
_With Special Guest:_ insisting on being confused about the information he’s never learned and refuses to be curious about
I love how he says the book using very basic language to explain bisexuality is too mature for kids and then later complains about that same style of language being unscientific. Like do you want the book to explain everything in full detail or not?
The cruelty is the point, it's never about logic or reality. Or any sort of truth!
Yeah, as an intersexed person (I'm full gonadal intersex and literally have both tested and ovaries), I just love when folks like Matt attempt to dismiss my existence. Gee, maybe we fit into the LGBTQIA community because, how the hell does an intersex person claim to be straight, or gay. If I'm literally male and female simultaneously what are the qualifications for determining what my sexual preferences are?
I don't know about your sexual preferences, but I feel like there are parts of Hinduism where we'd be worshipping you as a god/dess 😄
@@Tishanfas there are in fact many religions where dual gender, androgynous, and/or intersex persons are/were considered sacred. In most of them it was considered that such people were granted the unique ability to empathize with anyone and as such were held to be great repositories of wisdom, often serving the community as arbiters.
When did he dismiss intersax people from existing?😂
He said before that it is a medical condition which it is
Also intersax aren’t male and female, your parents didn’t get to pick whether they wanted a boy or a girl, you might have a male part but that doesn’t make you male
As someone with PAIS, I feel this.
It's ridiculous that these people think children learning about gay and bi people will make them become gay or bi. When my son was 5, my lesbian friend who can sew (while I can't) made him a Harry Potter costume for Halloween. He noticed she was living with another woman and asked me about it. I told him that most people like to have a sweetheart of the opposite gender, but some people like a sweetheart who is of the same gender. Curiosity satisficed he went back to admiring his Halloween costume. You know what? Despite the fact that I exposed him to the gay lifestyle when he was that young, he grew up to be completely straight. He also didn't grow up to be a bigot.
"The gay lifestyle" XD Lol My parents basically taught me the same way. They explained to me: people.... are.... you know... people. And people... love... people! And we don't all like the same people or things and we don't all look the same but we're all still people. Easy peasy lemon squeezy :D
Then later I learned about nazis and republicans and my worldview was shattered until I learned that most of them do still have empathy but that they're so wrong about everything they think they know that they can't seem to apply it to their actual behaviour properly and they rather project their uncertainties on everyone because that's what they're taught is normal and acceptable and they somehow think it's productive.
And my mom also still fucked it up when talking about actual people who are gay. She said things like:" I feel so sorry for my brother for being gay. It's such a hard life." Yeah, mom, it's really hard being gay XD It takes lots of practice and you only get so many chances to try it out :p "You know what I mean! People are not accepting!" Well, then the "being gay" part seems like the easy part and the having to deal with bigotry seems like the hard part, doens't it. And my uncle shrugs and pretends he doesn't know what she's talking about and I'm just laughing my ass off at the both of them. I tried and explain to my mom how her language isn't helping and that instead of saying something completely different from what she means she should try and put to words what she means to say.
So she's like, well I wish he wasn't gay. And I'm like, right, because you still haven't learned where the problem is.
So sometimes instead of that, I just tell her I think that all people who are into men have something wrong in the head. Who in their right mind, with the choice between having sex with a beautiful woman or with a MAN wouldn't choose the woman? :p And she even agreed I have a point and that women are prettier XD Hopeless XD Yes, I did have a point, that we don't choose who we are attracted to. Flew right over her head XD
@@stylis666 In case it wasn't clear. I was using the "gay lifestyle" ironically. I should have put it in quotation marks. Like you said people are people.
It is very probable that Matt Walsh doesn't actually think the bs he spouts. He just don't care about others. Fascists care about nothing but their side. They believe in "might makes right" and think that literally everything is allowed to reach their goals. Lying and propaganda are the mildest things in their repertoire
@@gornser I think right wingers still can't get it through their heads that people are born gay, straight, whatever. You can no more make a straight person gay than you can make a gay person straight. They won't accept this. They refuse to even entertain the idea that books like this and other efforts to introduce LGBT+ concepts in the early grades is meant to protect gay, trans children from thinking that there's something wrong with the way they are and hating themselves. They simply would rather have all of these children commit suicide than admit that their 2000 year old book might not be the best source of information. I was raised Mormon in Utah. But Matthew Shepard's murder fundamentally changed my view of LGBT+ people. If you don't know about Matthew Shepard, he was a gay university student who was murdered in 1998. Not just murdered but tortured first. The two men who killed him were Mormon, or at least one of them was. I can't remember exactly and it wasn't easy to find by googling. What they did to him was so horrifying it really shook me up, and I've been an ally ever since.
Ok let’s understand the distinction between talking in a “majority” sense and talking in a “minority” sense, ok?
Just like how one of the caveats to "free speech" in the US is "You can't run into a theater and yell 'fire'", you also shouldn't be able to just... go on your show and claim some one is a predator for no reason.
Isn't that actual slander? I hope the author can do something about this.
Thanks again, Emma. We'll all get through this, one way or the other.
Yes, it likely is. In fact, he has made similar statements about entire classes of people. Likely even _legally certifiable classes..._
Anyone interested in starting a class action against Matt Walsh?
@@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos i am 100 percent on board with that. Im bi and he has attacked my identity many times. Ill sign onto that class action suit in a fucking SECOND
"Fire in a theater" is a disfavored analogy these days since it's from an outdated Supreme Court case that used it as an excuse to jail socialists circulating an anti-draft petition. But the real question if you're trying to pin other peoples' actions on Walsh is whether the speech is "both intended and likely to cause imminent unlawful action." This is generally an extraordinarily high standard contemplating things like shouting "burn down this building" to a crowd of people already rioting.
As for slander (let's call it defamation) that depends on whether any false facts were stated or implied. While it may seem obvious that Walsh accusing some random author of grooming just because he doesn't hate the gays is a false statement of fact, the legal analysis focuses on the information being communicated, not the literal words. To explain, remember that satire is free speech even when it uses literally false statements to convey an opinion.
And when it comes to public figures, proving defamation requires showing that the speaker/publisher knew an accusation was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. That standard is incredibly hard to pass, and typically few things satisfy "reckless disregard" in this context other than publishing an accusation that you know comes from a source that has no credibility, and then not even disclosing that. An author of a children's book is arguably at least a limited purpose public figure with regard to his behavior towards children.
So back to meat and potatoes, isn't Walsh obviously defaming this guy? Well that depends on the information conveyed by the accusation, in context, and there we have a problem. It's a well known fact that this type of conservative considers every LGBT person, a priori, to be a groomer, and all child-oriented-speech even referring to LGBT subjects in non-negative light to be evidence of grooming.
That is, Walsh is neither stating nor implying that he has any actual evidence of grooming behavior, or advocacy for abusive behavior or relationships. Many of his followers can be expected to reach the same conclusion simply from the knowledge that the author doesn't hate gay people.
In general, the first amendment means that you are free to speculate about the reasons public figures act a certain way or advocate for certain things. As long as you don't claim knowledge of events you made up, imply that you possess secret evidence, propose a theory you know for a fact is wrong, or support your theory by presenting evidence not previously known to the public, while also concealing credible but contradictory evidence.
Though to conclude, I'd say that despite the very high standards for proving someone defamed another, given the volume of Walsh's idiotic ramblings and the intensity of his hate, I think there's definitely room for a lot of people to bring lawsuits that courts would entertain for at least a while, even if they would not ultimately succeed (including the author being discussed in this video). There could well be a few winners in there. Though in many states you can be made to pay the defendant if you lose a lawsuit over defamation, and that would only encourage Walsh.
@@noone-igloo Wow, thank you for taking the time to type this! I was unaware, unfortunately, of the greater context of the "theater fire" analogy, and I will look into that further.
Thank you for shedding some light on all of this!

My parent's best friends when I was a kid had two intersex children in the middle of the Canadian prairies. They both had surgery as babies as well and one didn't fit the assigned gender when they grew up. I consider myself lucky to have that opportunity to humanize and understand the complexity of this situation before I hit puberty and developed preconceptions of my own in the 80's. It made the birds and the bees talk a little less confusing later in life.

Very well written.
Look intersex is a medical condition and to make it a part of LGBTQ community is like having a schizophrenic patient who believes chairs can speak also a part of LGBTQ community.
@@natashabonica4205 Thanks!
Yes, so easy to make people believe lies, to just spread hatred that will take generations to "remove".
Same for ALL the monsters like Tate, etc etc etc.
Radicalising people, and yet their followers and videos will remain online to continue the INFECTION.
@Red Skull excuse me I am intersex you don't speak to my experience.
"There are no heterosexual children's stories!" Just about every single classic Disney animation would like a word.
Being Aussie is so great for understanding the unsexual side of drag; one of our most iconic celebrities is Dame Edna, a drag persona who's whole thing was being a gossipy older lady
Dame Edna is not drag, that was said by Barry Humphries. Edna was a character of mine only. Humphries does not support the trans or drag community
We had a children's science program called "The apple's core" in The Netherlands that featured a particular subject each episode ("How does electricity get to your home?" or "How do they service freight train locomotives?", with the host usually being capable of helping out some people working in the industry or industries they focused on out, while explaining things)
Each episode was intercut with small, 1-2 minute sketches from comedians (I am honestly going to say that just like the program itself overall, the sketches have lost their edge compared to the old days), and most of the times the sketches interconnected with the subject of the episode at hand.
The one with freight train locomotives for instance, poked fun at the national railways about how delays are caused, and what the reasons for them can be, they were usually big exaggerations of adult life.
Most characters of the sketches had a re-occuring role:
There was the overly macho guy who spoke with a lot of saliva consumption and shouted a lot and whose behavior always got himself into trouble (And had the lovely name "Boy Zonderman", which when translated literally into English means "Boy Withoutaman", which basically was a stab back at his personality: being overly macho but basically very hollow as a result :D ).
There was the so called Dirty Chef, which had an unhygienic kitchen with disgusting recipes to go along with (One time an episode was about bacteria and how they spread and cause diseases that way, and his recipe was "Smashed fruitflies", and one of the lines in the sketch was "And because a big set of these fruitflies can be bit heavy on the stomach, we are going to dip them in chocolate sauce!", and the ending of his sketch was always a Dutch reference to meatballs (well in his character's environment anyway) that we also tend to use as a sort of slang way to say goodbye to someone, because he then said "De ballen!" :P )
Some characters also almost solely sang beautiful songs written by some of the most iconic text and song writers my country has ever had (and to be honest, some songs or the way they were performed had to grow on me and are ones that I can appreciate much more as an adult now, even though those types of songs rarely exist anymore on the show).
But probably a set of characters that would cause quite a controversy in some countries were those of 2 elderly ladies: played by 2 men, one of which also played a big role in the Dutch Sesame Street as the Dutch version of the grumpy old man.
One of them was always capable of seeing the more positive side of things, while the other usually saw the negatives, which (probably to no surprise) caused fierce arguments (again strong exaggerations of adult lifes).
One of the modern sketches that to me still resembles that edgy style from the older episodes is Princess Never Enough: A superrude, obnoxious, arrogant princess (played by Dutch actress Tjitske Reidinga) that also get's herself into trouble, but mostly has a big problem with overseeing the steps she needs to take in order to reach whatever unrealistic goal she has set :P .
Before typing out this response I had set out to find a link to one of the old lady sketches, but unfortunately I learned that just as the Dutch version of Sesame Street was requested not to air episodes with the actor that played the grumpy old man anymore after his death, the same has been true for the sketches of the science show he was in.
Given the show is running since 1988, I'm afraid that's A LOT of sketches...
@@hays9008then he doesn't know what drag is. Drag is entertainment, where the entertainer dresses and behaves as the opposite gender. If his character is not his gender its a drag character.
And anyway it doesn't matter what Humphries himself believes or supports, the fact remains he managed to promote understanding and empathy. So what if it was accidental? Matt Walsh regularly accidentally creates empathy by inducing a counter-reaction in people who see what a hateful pile of shit he is.
For the "4 YO bisexuals" part. My older child had boyfriends and girlfriends at age 4. There's nothing sexual about it, little children can fall in love and it's really cute to listen to them speaking about it.
So yeah, 4YO bisexuals exist, they're adorables and that kind of books are very much needed, thanks.
Yeah my sister started having crushes on boys and girls when she started hanging out with other kids at around 4/5. Kids know who they like romantically, and its not weird. I had tons of crushes on other boys when i was a kid too
Yeah I feel we should definitely talk about it. I'm a lesbian and it would have saved me a lot of embarrassing moments. I would make up crushes I would have on boys because I didn't know I could like anyone else.
Yes very nice comment !! Why do all the right wing people confuse love with sex you can be in love with someone and not desire them sexually . I guess it comes form there belief that gay = groomers just as absurd as the previous .
Whats next? Children can give consent? Yeah boy tell me how children are bisexual, while all what happens is you THINKING OF THEM AS BISEXUAL AND PROJECTING YOUR OWN STUPIDITY
That really speaks to the whole problem in society that "you can only love one person" which is garbage. Do you love your parents? Can you love your children, should you have them? Do you love a spouse or partner? Are they even the same types of affection? No, but it's all still love.
Based on Walsh's beliefs, children's books about different kinds of animals puts them at risk for identifying as said animals. However, if they actually did identify as an animal, it would be chalked up to a child with a wild imagination. 🤨
Hi.
Humans are animals.
You mean identify as another species.
@@punkinboi Exactly, thank you.
My son often identified as a kitten when he was pre-school age. He also dressed up in a tutu and heels in pre-school and wanted me to paint his fingernails, which I did. But he grew up to be a straight human somehow. I would have liked a book like this when he was little. I had to figure out how to explain Lesbians myself when he met my friends who are gay. I think telling that most women like sweethearts who are men, some women like sweethearts who are women worked fine, I think, but the author of this book did it better.
@@jamiemarchant5787 Identifying as a straight male does not mean they aren’t allowed to wear nail polish and tutus. It’s of course not your fault that society has claimed nail polish and tutus are inherently “female” or “gay.” Good on you for letting your son explore the world as is instead if putting him in a box. Ultimately, you raised a child who is likely more understanding of those who *do* dress “different.” :)
@@jamiemarchant5787 why did you associate tutus and painted nails with being gay? Isn't that the main thing that people are trying to get rid of, assuming someone fits a stereotypical trope?
When my grandmother worked on Hanukkah and Passover ABC books, the goal was not indoctrination. It's just a fun way for kids to learn about things they may encounter.
I wonder if Matt would throw a fit over M is for Menorah? Maybe we aren’t the wrong kind of minority. I could see someone like this bitching about critical race theory in regards to a black ABC book. “A is for Africa"……”OMG they are pushing CRT on 4 year olds”.
@@jennoscura2381Matt would definitely hate it, as he thinks Jews are responsible for most of the evil in the world.
I wonder if Matt can answer the question, "What is a groomer?" I can't find it now (admittedly, I didn't try that hard), but I seem to remember a few years ago Matt made some comment about it being "normal" for an adult man to be attracted to young teenage girls. He was talking about girls who were the same age as his daughter at the time. The comment made me think that if I had a daughter who was friends with his daughter, I wouldn't let her go to his house. And he's here claiming that simply acknowledging the existence of bi, intersex, and nonbinary people is somehow endangering kids. Matt is truly one of the most disgusting and infuriating people in the world.
Omg, I absolutely love the pride being the opposite of shame idea! I'm straight, im fine in myself being straight but I would never say I'm proud of that. I always viewed pride as standing up against oppression, which is why there is a difference between white pride and black pride
Isn't that something uncle iroh said?
@@dethkillerspiral I don't know who that is
@@dethkillerspiral what uncle iroh said is literally the opposite.
"Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. Humility is the only true antidote to shame."
but i also don't think that "gay pride" is "pride" in the sense that iroh was referring to it. we can see pride either as a subset of ego (the source of shame) or as a subset of joy or acceptance (the opposite of shame)
@@LiamLivesOn popular fictional character from avatar the last airbender
@@bobbirdsong6825 that's a great way of looking at it: so basically uncle iroh was talking bout a different kind of pride, oops
I’m pan and when I was in jr high I would cry myself to sleep thinking I was gay and worried what that meant. Luckily I came to terms with myself and came out to the world at 16 to much love and support from my friends and family although a number of my friends parents thought i was “turning their kids gay”
I’m curious to see when the “turning your friends gay” crap your friends parents pulled happened. It’s a stark contrast to how things where when I was in highschool. I did go to an all girls Catholic school in Australia, but us queers where embraced by friends and family, this was around 2005-2008.
It’s really terrifying and utterly heartbreaking to think that that progress, that warmth and embracing we experienced was because we came out in the right time period - when gayness was seeming more accepting for a short time, and the really bad and hardcore internet propaganda hadn’t had the chance to seep into so many peoples minds - or where we just lucky, where we in the right place at the right time?
The school was weird about it, they said no one was allowed to hug my friend when she started dating another girl in the school - as if the gay would rub off. However, that was the weird Catholic school admin, which is expected. But there was a weird, faux vale of respect they tried to hold with us - they never really said we weren’t allowed to be who we where, they had to hide their bigotry - as it should be for bigoted people. But now they have a voice.
I think this is a long winded way of saying that I see all the progress we’ve made dissolving away, and it’s so painful to watch. My queer sisters and brothers who have come after me where meant to feel what I did. They where supposed to be embraced, and loved, and respected! Instead, you’re being abused and your dignity is being taken from you in what is one of the most important times of your life.
Be gay and happy, beautiful person. We won’t let the fuckers win. ❤
"although a number of my friends parents thought i was “turning their kids gay”"
my first thought is, you shoulda said, 'well, you didn't do a very good job with them, then.'
that probably would not have helped your friendships tho.
"Luckily I came to terms with myself "
my first thought there was, 'is that what the kids are calling it these days?'
...you can see why i usually take a moment to NOT say what i am thinking.
"and came out to the world at 16 to much love and support"
i remember the 80s and 90s.
we've come a long way.
Walsh is the backlash against that progress.
@@laurenwalker1048 Sounds like the school was treating your gay friend like a boy. I think they just didn't want impropriety, inadvertently accepting that she legitimately likes other girls.
Weird still but not anti-gay weird, just celibate (?) weird.
@@alalalala57 funny you say that, she was quite masculine presenting, her girlfriend was very feminine presenting and the same wasn’t expected or requested of her. I think you might be onto something.

@@thisistheaccountname Better not let Walsh know that.
Straight woman in burlesque or stripping is FINE to people who hold these beliefs because they view woman as objects to be consumed, and that their only use is to be sexual for men.
It's not about the nudity or the costumes or the dance or the sexual inferences, it's about MEN in drag.
Straight up homophobia, but they won't admit it.
Your guys are covering this so well, I wouldn't be able to stay as calm if I was hearing this crap lol. Thank you for this. I am tired of seeing drag queens and intersex individuals being dragged down by people like Matt.
Seriously. If Matt Walsh believes that God created everyone, THAT INCLUDES INTERSEX PEOPLE
@@sassylittleprophet God doesn't make mistakes, unless they are people that don't fit into his extremely narrow worldview
I totally agree, staying calm against this constant hate and wrongful information is harmful to so many.
@@sassylittleprophet If Matt believes that indoctrination of children is abusive and harmful, he'd advocate against churches, religions, god(s), and especially against religious media aimed at children. Spoilers: Matt and people like him don't believe that. They just believe that people who aren't cishet theists have an increased chance to upset the status quo and should be suppressed forever.
Beliefs are the basis for actions. If you want to know what someone believes you look at patterns in their actions. Their speech also has plenty of patterns: normalizing and glorifying logical fallacies and ignorance to protect a status quo, normalizing glorification of narcissists and narcissism to have a stick to beat critical thinkers with. Whenever they say something you have to assume it's not true but projection. If they say they want to protect the children, they mean to say: society seems to value children so to spread my rhetoric I'll pretend to base my beliefs on this socially accepted thing and I don't mind indoctrinating children if it helps my status quo, so I'll accuse others of doing that.
Did you intend that pun?
"Statistics aren't static" is a great line. Lovely conversation and demolition of that Matt W video.
It scares people who benefit from the status quo when they are challenged. Please keep on challenging them.
I literally got a like for the above comment the second I posted it.
What kind of fuckery is this?
Matt Walsh seeing such an innocent, peaceful children book and calling it things like "grooming, insane, written by predators" etc. It disgusts me to no end. How messed up are some humans that this is seen as a threat? That's like getting offended and angry at Mr Rogers.
While at the same time having to issue with the bible. Surely if he's are against a book that grooms kids to be LGBTQ+, then he should also be against a book that grooms kids to be religious right?
That book is not a innocent book not even close. That books promotes grooming.
Like why they need to teach children about DRAG, BISEXUAL, GAY, TRANS stuff?
@Red Skull kids are taught about straight stuff and no one has an issue with that.
@@redskull4949 Nah-uh, it's a children's book to raise awareness that the LGBTQIA+ people exists instead of ignoring or hating them. *'Love'* offenders also everywhere regardless of gender but not all LGBTQIA+ groups even for cis people.
@@redskull4949 Ah yes, teaching kids about people who exist is grooming. i hope you don't expose your kids to the bible, the pledge of allegiance, or even the existence of straight people. You're basically grooming kids into being religious, being supportive of the military industrial complex and straight sex.
As an ace person all media, including children's media, is chock full of heterosexual relationships. It's everywhere.
Admittedly a while ago, I saw a woman on TV (I think Britain's Got Talent or similar but I forget for sure) say she wished her son wasn't gay and every parent would wish that. Not only is that certifiably untrue, it made my heart hurt for the son. Maybe books like this telling children from a young age that being LGBTQ+ is okay will lessen that in future
It's unclear if she wished that for her son because she hated his being gay or just that his life was made a bit more challenging because of his being gay.
@@brentwalker3300 still not a great look. I mean, think of it this way, take a child born into a country where they are not the majority race. A parent saying to their child "I wish you weren't x race" would be considered uncool
I don’t want anyone in my surroundings to be gay. And I’m gay. I don’t wish that other people struggle with the same thing I had to. Not because I think it’s a bad thing, but because society is still way to far away from acceptance.
I swear these people are everywhere now: that woman, the weirdo in this video, all the manosphere BS and all the brainwashed women who are bashing other women etc.
There is so much of them and so little of us...
@@hanagara1907 I was just trying to understand the mother's motives and true attitude towards her son's being gay. It''s vastly different if she hated him for it rather than saying it out of a recognition of the hardships ahead. But merely telling him would be damaging to the boy.
In regards to the percentage of people who are born intersex, I often use this comparison when talking about being trans too since the percentages are so close, but the percentage of the world's population that are redheads is also 1% - sure you could go your entire life without meeting a redhead but 1% in a world of nearly 8 billion is a HUGE number
well that would depend where you are. You could easily live in China or Sub-Saharan Africa and NEVER meet a redhead. You also have to be careful with that percentage given as intersex.. many would not present anything externally and even the individual themselves might not even know.
Your point is utterly valid, in terms of pure math, but statistics often need context
@@stephenpalmer9375 Of course! It's a very layman friendly way of explaining just how many people in the world actually are intersex that can be interrogated when specifics start to come up but I think it's a good jumping off point. Plus, in some cases, there will be larger seeming densities of the population, by way of people just wanting to seek out others who have shared their experiences. It's the old "I've never met an LGBT person" vs "the only people in my life are queer people." Context is important but thats for the meat of a conversation; I really just use the flat Stat as a lead into why saying "just 1%" is deceiving.
@@ko2vo I hear you :) the density thing is very interesting too as I assume some intersex traits (and I know that sounds clumsy, but no offence intended) may well be hereditary.
Let’s face it. Walsh is a prick, who only has bad intentions, and at the absolute core of it all - he’s a grifter
To the point Emma made near the end about Walshs hypocracy: I noticed over and over again that people with a very conervative/right (leaning) world view think only left wing people have an ideology and people from "their side" are all completly objective. And they do this without any irony or self awareness.
And yet they're the ones whose opinions are practically uniform and fed to them by whatever gibbering lunatic they got it from. There's almost no variation among them. They're practically a hive mind, which is far more believable than their claims of "common sense". Down to the point of even constructing their arguments verbatim from Fox News or Dinesh D'Souza or Matt Walsh. They're not fooling anyone but themselves when they act like it's independent, critical thought.
It's like Americans who claim they don't have an accent
I do know someone who chromosomally is XXY and only found out in their 50s that they were intersex. The really horrible part is that from a young age she said that she was a girl and was sent to a psychiatrist (seeing as nothing happened with it I am assuming that she was treated in the conversion therapy way but don't know for sure). It was only when her being intersex was found out when she had an operation (and they found female reproductive organs at that time) that she was suddenly told that she needed to make a choice as to which gender she wanted to live as and so was able to start to transition (higher risk of some cancers iirc because of having both hormones going and being XXY you need to have hormones to supplement anyway). I find it really sad that she was gaslit about it for so many years and then when it could be verified medically suddenly they were OK decisions need to be made right now (though for those times if it had of been discovered earlier probably would have just had her female organs removed).
Wait I'm confused. How did they find out she was intersex through operation if she had a female reproductive system? And presented as externally female?
@@deedee-dk2uz Externally presented as male, had said that they were female from a young age and sent to psychiatrist as crazy (I think it was a religious family but not sure). It was only after the operation that found the female reproductive organs that she was told she needed to choose if she wanted to live as male or female and given the correct hormones for that (would need to be given hormones either way) that she was suddenly told that it was OK to transition and live as a female.
I wonder if that person then never experienced puberty...typically in cases in which a body having XXY chromosomes, the body will not be producing the right hormones for the body to enter puberty normally, or when it does, the hormones might fail to produce the expected results due to how some mechanisms inside someone's body might be clueless as to what to do (think of CAIS).
Given how the times have changed I can see it happening that she, along with her parents had not been told exactly what she was having even though surgeons or the doctor doing the delivery or a general practitioner knew full well, only that "you need to keep her condition" (which again, parents were not explicitly told about) "a secret or shame will fall upon your family that will be unbearable."
@@Dutch3DMaster I know two people who are XXY, both are full adult height etc, for obvious reasons I haven't asked if their junk grew to adult size (both are on hormones one testosterone, the other estrogen). This person to my knowledge externally looked male, maybe the parents knew younger but she definitely only knew when she had that operation and they found female reproductive organs at the same time (not close enough to her to know how full it was) and so was finally told she could be female.
@@amandamandamands I'm intrigued that you managed to focus on just genitals, because puberty entails so, so much more when it comes to the effects it has on the body.
The reason I mentioned this (and deliberately kept genitals out of my reply) is because of the fact that there were concerns I would not be entering boy puberty without help when I was much younger, because of my thyroid breaking down the hormones the hypothalamus and pituitary gland would produce (and would be converted to the right hormones for puberty to start).
Having this checked out was not the result of my reproductive organs not growing, but because I was much shorter than average when it came to my body height (about 15-20 cm below average of age-related peers).
The reason I tagged on your response was because I mistakingly read (possibly between the lines), that someone only found out late in life (which is not uncommon, unfortunately) without mentioning a previous situation of having to take hormones because the body probably other would not have entered puberty, which would include stunted growth, no emotional maturation of their brain (if left untreated, obviously) and menopause like effects of lacking hormones.
That was all :) .

You showed your opinion now when no one needed it. See! Everyone has opinions and that shouldn’t be a problem.
@@Kar1mam He can certainly have opinions on things. The real issue is how he always feels a need to sell LGBTQ+ people as "predators". It's a derogatory publicity stunt that he uses to stir up hatred against an entire group of people who are just trying to exist. Because he can't tell the difference between simply preferring sexual activity with partners of the same sex and being an actual pedophile.
@@Kar1mam hey man, when the opinion is "I basically want queer people to not exist and I'll say anything to get to that point" that opinion is what we call harmful bullshit, based on no scientific research, and harmful to a whole community of people. Opinions are okay as long as you're not interfering with people's livelihoods. Matt Walsh is a prominent right wing figure, therefore many people will take what he says super seriously. Or did you miss the part where on twitter he never condemned people for sending death threats to a literal childrens' hospital after he told people to "take action" against it. If anything, to me it came off like he was condoning those people's actions. So yeah. Not all opinions should be heard, especially not the opinions of a self proclaimed theocratic fascist
@@Kar1mam Unless their in the entertainment industry and famous, then it's "Shut up and sing!"
Is Matt Walsh implying that God didn't create intersex people, or didn't create them perfectly? I don't know, Matt, sounds like blasphemy to me. 🙄
Blasphemy is nothing new to these people. Prosperity gospel is at the core of the Republican ideology and they constantly push this notion that Jesus was a gun-totin', immigrant-hatin', commie-smashin', gay-bashin' anti-abortion Republimerican. They're constantly cherry picking the Bible, ignoring everything that contradicts their arguments and just making shit up to suit their positions. Some of them think Trump is literally the messiah sent to usher in the remixed gibberish they've made of their own doomsday prophecy. I honestly can't think of anything more blasphemous.
Incredible to see a man so confidently ask why children need to learn about something and then spout off something so inaccurate, that he demonstrates why in his next sentence.
In grade 12 psychology class we had a whole week dedicated to intersex people and why it is so important to to recognize them, and so whenever i see people saying things like mat is about them it infuriates me to no end, let people exist as themselves and not what anyone else wants them to exist as

You would never have learned that stuff in a psychology class in red states, or probably had a psychology class at all. That's precisely the kind of thing that their war on education is aimed at.
Kids not understanding Matt Walsh's work _is a good thing_.
Well, I don't know. The quicker we learn about people like him the faster we can defend against them.
@@theriffwriter2194 Fair enough. Still, there are different standards there: being able to follow it well enough to take it in and accept it, and being able to follow it well enough to consider it, pick it apart, reject it, and recognize its kind in the future. If it's opaque enough early on that kids never make it out at the easier level of understanding before they are ready to confront it at the trickier one, excellent.
We have kids' books with two moms, and my two year old lights up whenever we get to those parts, and he shouts mom and Mama.

That was hilarious.
“I’m sure someone’s gonna fact check me on it, but my guess is that we’re in - we’re into the millions now at this point. Yeah, that would be my guess,”
And that was still wildly more accurate than his underestimate of the number of intersex people: off by a factor of 1,000 instead of 10,000,000.

In case people didn't notice: Matt Walsh is a narcissist. He has complete disregard for others' feelings, and is extremely sensitive to criticism. There's a TH-camr, professor Dave explains, who did a video on transgender people, and included Matt Walsh's photo in it (he didn't say Matt is trans), and Matt made a whole video being offended by it.
And Professor Dave owned him in a second video.

Matt is like the school bully who will never grow up.
Matt Walsh I find just, annoying as a person. He comes across like one of those people who is smug and condescending, yet pretends not to be, but just enough pretend, that you're constantly questioning your sanity and if he's really condescending and smug or if it's just your mind playing tricks.
I can't imagine what his kids will go through growing up under a gaslighting personality like his.
He's so obviously, transparently stupid and undeservedly arrogant. His children living decent lives is all but impossible. I hold out hope for them, but I'm not optimistic.
Sadly they will either be just like him or not so sadly he will be abandoned by those kids the moment they can be free of him. I hope they suck his wallet dry before they go. He is a disgusting waste of humanity
Take comfort in the fact that any time Walsh gets fact checked to his face, he repeatedly gets fucking clowned.
No, he definitely IS condescending and smug, there's no doubt about that. Now your mind can rest assured
And the fact that he has no basis for being condescending, since more than likely less educated than most of the people he criticizes.
Regarding the 1.7% intersex figure: that's 1 in 59. Which means the odds are good that at least 1 of my co-workers has an intersex trait. Odds are good for any person in general that you *know* some of these people. They likely haven't told you, just like most people you know wouldn't tell you other intimate facts about themselves.
29:52 "Why is Matt so angry about that?" Because anger is his schtick. His whole purpose is to be angry about things, stirring up the anger in his audience, people who *want* to be angry about something.
30:48 "I don't know why he's changing his numbers all the time." Because he just makes them up as he goes, and can't be bothered to remember what he said just a few minutes before. And he knows his intended audience won't care. Remember: they're so few that they don't matter anyway.
About his insistence that 4 year-olds don't know or understand any of this: I have a niece, who has a brother 12 years younger than herself. When he was a small toddler, they used to shower together. That lasted up until he started noticing physical differences and asking questions (about 3). Yes, toddlers absolutely do find out that boys and girls are different.
I always thought it was so weird when people tried to bully me when I was a kid by calling me gay, cause I'd always just say "so what if I am?" It really just confused me as to why people were calling me gay as if it were an insult
Being gay is lame though
Admittedly, I did it too as a kid (not actually against anyone, just generally mocking and dismissing gay people). There's a lot of peer pressure there. Wanting to fit in with the other assholes and the main way to do that is making sure there's an outsider. Luckily I realized I was wrong pretty early AND didn't want to fit in with assholes either.
Just purchased the gay BCs for my 6 year old niece. Her bisexual aunt will read it to her. She’s going to love it!
"What does connecting with a vibe even mean?" I'm incredibly literal, and even I'm not this much of a moron. I play Genshin Impact and I touch more grass than Matt Walsh probably does

I've been sober for a few years now and nothing threatened that until that thought.

Happy and better for it: the case that I lucked into discovering Emma and yourself last week & today respectively. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and these perspectives with us. It's truly, among the wealth of other benefits, been so calming for lack of a more clever word, to tune in to y'all and I appreciate ya a lot. Best vibes to you both!
The most honest thing he's said: "Didn't like it" - There's a BIG difference between fact and opinion.
One point I would have added at the beginning, this isn't a book that's K-12 curriculum. This is a book that someone is choosing to buy for their children, maybe they have a friend or neighbor or family members, and they want some help explaining to their child why Uncle Johny is different and that's ok. Parents want to have the option of a little help explaining complicated topics to their children, and this book does that.
And THAT'S what conservatives can't stand. That's why they have to keep lying about EVERYTHING.
The ignorance around intersex people is astounding. I liked Emma's comment about intex is usually brought up in defense of Trans. Which I understand because we are invisible and Trans people are being targeted. I have an intersection condition that is chromomal I had to take HRT to develop secondary sex characteristics. (Go through puberty). The word deformity and unnatural belong in the trash with the R word. I feel outraged by this malicious person.
I think you're right, Emma. Wet Mulch is just not very bright so things he's been repeatedly told are bad, MUST be bad and therefore are a danger to kids. He just word-vomits stuff he's heard because he can't critically analyse stuff himself.
He truly is a sad and repulsive excuse for a human.
Wet Mulch!😂😂😂
Wet mulch is beneficial, though... Mr. Bearded Baby Merch, not so much.
What people like walsh don't realize is that pride isn't about being proud of who you are. It's about being proud of coming to terms with your reality, and accepting that. It's pride for the personal growth of yourself and pride in the community you've built with so many others.
“What people like Walsh don’t realize…”
Dude I could fill a book with what he doesn’t realize but someone beat me to it. It’s a serial, though: the Encyclopedia
We explain that to these people repeatedly but they have to stick to their deranged talking points or they can't pretend to be in control of the debate. They need time to move the goalposts.
The utter lack of character is depressing.

They won't have to extract themselves from the culture of hatred and bigotry you seem to roll around in.

proud to be part of the “moke wob” 😂
Alot of Walsh's complaints, to me, are him telling on himself. Of course, he thinks gay/bi/intersex people aren't worth even knowing exist, which we can extrapolate to him thinking they shouldn't exist. But the bigger thing to me is his obsession with calling drag queens sexual, which tells me he thinks drag queens are sexy. And he should really just accept his feelings and become a better person.
Ah yes “kids don’t have a sexuality yet it’s inappropriate to talk about it to them” yet they still talk about the “girlfriend” their son has at kindergarten and put them in a “ladies’ man” shirt.
This book looks like it will be very valuable in the anti-bullying effort. After processing this book, probably with the help of an older 'woke' person, they will probably be much more accepting when they meet a member of the LGBTQI+ community.
Mr. "Age of consent is too confusing" and "16 year olds are the most fertile and the problem isn't teen pregancy but unwed teen pregnancy" and convicted sex offender Josh Duggar apologist Matt Walsh accusing others of "grooming" is PEAK projection!

"A is for the apple that fell from its branch.
B is for the bugs that crawl through its flesh.
C is for the creeping, crawling, crunchy mess.
D is for decay, and also for death..."
Just my take on pansexual vs bisexual. As a pansexual I don't even need to know anything related to a person's gender or sex, whereas bisexual people I know tend to have like... A "type" of males or a "type" of females that they are interested in. But that's just my personal experience.
i’m biromantic, and the bi in bisexual means you like either masculine presenting people or feminine presenting people, and it doesn’t have to be equal attraction, it can be 60/40 or 20/80.
I wish there was a book like this when I was growing up. It would have saved me a ton of time & lessed my confusion as I would have figured out that I was bi & ace, as well as potentially been in a safer environment to come out sooner than highschool. Instead I was confused about my sexuality since I like both men & woman but I'm only romantically attracted to them, then my peers started suspecting I was gay so they started acting like something was wrong with me & trying to shame me into being straight, then I figured out that being bi & ace exist, & finally it was safe enough for me to come out to some people such as friends & some family members
I wish there was too…but I work in daycare now. No child in my center will suffer as I did.

By the time I was 8, I knew I liked both, but when I told my best friend about it, she asked if I was lesbian, I said no, and we were both really confused, and I didn't know how to talk about it because we didn't know what the term for liking both boys and girls was. I'm just saying this book definitely would have helped me understand myself a lot sooner, as well as help my friend understand me a bit better.
Just girls here, but still, I had those crushes too at the same age. My mother thought it was cute (although she did name my sister after my first crush which was f'in bizarre). They always think it's cute when it's hetero. None of them ever try to burn the onesies and t-shirts that promote hetero romance in toddlers. But they just ignore the hypocrisy whenever it's thrown back at them, proving their claims about not being phobic are lies and their arguments are in bad faith.
The few people who really are genuinely worried about kids, etc, always ignore that Queer adults were once Queer kids. We just didn't necessarily have the language to describe these traits about who we have always been.
Speaking as a Queer person who grew up way back in the 80s and 90s, I wish I'd had a book like this to learn these basic concepts to explain what I was experiencing. I identify as Bi because I never even heard of Pan until I was an adult, but it's probably a closer definition technically. I didn't even learn until high school that bisexuality was a thing. Though, I kissed a girl in preschool, long before I kissed any boys. This book definitely would have helped me understand myself better, younger.
I’m sorry Emma, I can’t even watch this with your help. It hurts too much to hear what that horrible man says. You’re a braver soul than I. I’ll help the algorithm though. My heart just isn’t strong enough right now.
Yes it is
Emma certainly is a brave soul, and it's great that she is debunking Matt Walsh. But really, why would any sane rational person with even the smallest amount of empathy, watch him? It really is just too horrible. Better to keep your peace of mind.
Was my commentary that bad? 😂 Jk
I feel you. It’s one thing hearing Emma’s thoughts on random conspiracy nuts, but when a significant and empowered portion of my country agree with this man… it’s hard to hear.
Emma seems so fearless. She intimidates me.
There is extremely common heteronormative clothing that is explicitly sexualized and yet considered absolutely appropriate for children to see - the wedding dress. Drag might or might not include references to sexual activity, traditionally heteronormative weddings are much more intrinsically a public celebration and declaration of the sexual behavior of the couple. If you don't worry about children seeing weddings, don't worry about children seeing drag.
Especially for conservatives, wince they think marriage is defined by its consummation and procreation.
Its a sex ceremony.

"Just another example of how Matt is an idiot."
Matt: "That's true, I can't disagree with that."
I died laughing.
While it’s definitely true that kids are much smarter than people like Matt Walsh give them credit for, I think it’s important to point out most kids are also much smarter than people like Matt Walsh
To be fair, the bar is very low on that last one.
“Just another example of how Walsh is an idiot”
Walsh: “That’s true, I agree with you there”
Promoting the burning of LGBTQ+ books rings eerily similar to the burning of Magnus Hirschfield's work back during the time of the... shall we say not-so-nice party.
I've just bought it for my daughter. My best friend ended his own life in 21 because he was unable to accept his sexuality, due to his fundamentalist Christian father. I will raise my child to love herself for whomever she is and love others for the person they are. I've only watched the first 5 seconds of this show and I don't think I can watch the rest I can already feel my blood boiling. Thanks Emma for being a voice against this hate.
Thank you for being a great parent. I'm truly sorry about your best friend, I know from experience how that feels. I hope you have an amazing day. Remember to be happy. Your child is very lucky to have you as a parent.
@@eros9093 thank you. 🥰
@@liz-qq9kb remember to stay positive except for covid. Covid should always be negative.
@@eros9093 I don't want to give you the impression that I'm in bits. I miss D terribly but thankfully I have an amazing little person to put a sparkle in my day. We read the Gaybc's this morning and when we got to the page that says V is for Vogue she knew exactly what to do! 'Alexa play Madonna' and the dance party ensued. I wish D had hung around to see her grow. And I'm so glad that in the mainstream (in the UK at least) representation in improving. I wish he could have seen 'our flag means death'. I hope the positive voices can drown out the likes of Walsh and those like him. They can sit in their little dark puddle alone. I shall live under a rainbow.
@@liz-qq9kb the positive will be victorious. Especially when we have as amazing people as you. It sounds like you and your kid have an amazing bond.
Nothing? Then why is he having such a conniption fit.
BTW I saw Twelfth Knight at the Globe Theater in London. The entire cast was men. It was a lot of fun!
When he's like "hey little boy, wanna hear about pansexuals?" all I can picture is the people on street corners going "hey, wanna hear about Jesus? Wanna be saved from eternal torment because you're a despicable human being?" :P I think he's confused about who actually engages in this kind of behavior.
The bookcase in the add looks exactly like my bookcase. Now I'm frightened that puppets are in my house.
How many times can he say "kids don't know what that is" about a book that is literally defining those words in terms kids can learn?
Dear Matt, all fetuses start out female…
Accusing people of grooming is a label that never goes away. The people saying it should be beaten to within an inch of their lives. That is all they understand. Suing them makes them double down. What they do can get a person killed. So they don't deserve kindness.
I grew up hating gays due to my parents views. They weren't religious but just people of their time. I wish to apologise to anyone I may have offended out of ignorance.
All drag performers have sexual-themed names? Really? I bet that'll be news to Baga Chips.
Speaking to the intersex discussion, and a nice bit of trivia. Ot used to be a fairly common high school/first year university biology experiment force student to take a check scraping from themselves, put it on a slide stain it, and practice using a microscope by taking their own karyotype. USED TO BE. As a professor I had stated, "A guy asking the lab monitor why he us seeing two Barr bodies is not the way someone needs to find certain facts out." It was just WAY too common for, um... anomalies/mismatches/curious things to show up in large AP/101 classes.
Thanks again for such a wonderfull clip. Such a positive gift to us all! 😍
The face you two made at 30:24
I made the very same face. The "What is he TRYING to say here" face. lol
Watching Matt Walsh struggling in vain to understand a book written for children and hating on it for that is hilarious! How does anyone take this guy seriously?
Dude said "imagine is a grown ass man came up to your kids at the park" like Christians don't pass out their propaganda exactly that way
I find it incredibly interesting too that Matt Walsh often doesn't even have an argument. He just says "Isnt that weird?" and acts like thats a valid point.
7:35 "The left wob is too moke" made me giggle 😂
I am completely convinced that Matt Walsh entire understanding of sex, gender and sexuality comes from pornography.
