A girl walked into my medical place of work last week. Staff were confused because the id says male with a male name but the reason for visit was a female’s medical issue, and the person looked like a female. After meeting with her, out of respect we asked how should we address her and what would she like to be documented under, male or female, she started sobbing. She said when she was 14, an older friend encouraged and helped her to transform into a male, and now that she’s older she realized she likes to be a girl more, that she likes men. She found a male partner and they’re both happy but she was sobbing that she lost her breast in the surgery to become a male when she was younger and now, if she has kids, she will never be able to breastfeed them and that idea made her very sad. I personally believe it is a crime, to coerce someone to do something that is irreversible such as a medical procedure. I’m all for being open minded, but don’t do something that you cannot reverse in case you change your mind.
Completely agree. 100%
OMG, how can a 14 year old be allowed to make such big decisions. This is child abuse.
@@prashanthb6521 12 years or older can consent on their own.
The cult cannibalises another youngling.
Omg! It should be illegal to do these gender change surgeries for anyone under 25 years of age. I mean it is almost always going to be a regrettable decision for someone to make as a teen or in early adult years while still in the process of self discovery and actualization. I can't believe this is actually happening in the world right now 😢
When my daughter was 14 she began to think that maybe she was "in the wrong body" and perhaps should be male. I sat her down and gave her a serious talking to and set her straight. I had been the stay home parent with her since her birth and no matter how much coaxing I gave her to try "boy" things, she was the girliest girl it was possible to be. She is 18 now and has since thanked me for that talk. Luckily for her we have always had a very close relationship so my words had some weight, but I truly feel for parents who are not so close to their kids and fall foul of the adolescent tendency to favor peers over parents. To me there would be nothing more horrifying than having a child caught up in this and feeling powerless to stop it.
God bless you!! Parents are SO very important in children's lives. She is blessed to have you.
Great job!! 🌹
Good shit man, you’re good for sitting her down and having an honest talk with her.
@@Matt-kd8cf And probably suicidal.
Many parents who are close to their children still go through hell with their kids. Kids are different and some will pull away from parents for awhile. Happy you and your daughter were able to talk. That is a real skill.
@@Matt-kd8cf She had just gone through hell with her mother pulling a legal swifty while I was in hospital which limited my time with them to 5 hrs per fortnight, then exerting total control over her life and at one stage had her committed for losing it at her. She went from an A student to struggling at school, ran away from home and slept on the street 3 times and was suspended from school for bad behavior 5 times. It was 8 months before we could get a court date to change the emergency court order.
She'd only been back with me for a few months and was still not in a great place mentally. From the psychological literature I've studied, girls are particularly vulnerable to suggestion when they are not in such a state. I shudder to think what may have happened if I had not been able to win back custody. She is such a beautiful young woman now, but sadly she never recovered academically in STEM subjects, however she is a linguistic genius still (4 languages and counting).
i was recently exposed to the mental illness cesspool of tik tok. its a scary and sad state some of these kids find themselves in. life is complicated - the last thing you want is to complicate yourself on top of that
Never thought I'd see you on here. I liked your videos on Pokemon Animations.
I've refused to download the app because of their spyware but the toxic realities of social media certainly came into play. I love commenting and having conversations but I never downloaded Twitter or Facebook cause I watched family and friends. And I didn't like what I saw.
I didn't expect that kind of wisdom from you on this channel of all things lol but I welcome it.
TikTok is where you see kids so proud of accomplishing nothing. No wonder why they seek validation there.
It is fucked up in a sad way how many social media-savvy teenagers revel in the disabilities or limitations they identify with or even end up adopting because for whatever reason it seemed appealing
Many social media platforms are being misused to promote insanity. Tik-tok is one of those insanities.
the world would be a better place if tiktok, twitter and tumblr all got memory holed
We just need to be 100% accountable for what’s on our screens. McDonald’s is not to blame for obesity.
The psychosis of DID has taken off due to TikTok
We live in a time where standard of living is increasing, while happiness is decreasing. Maybe, money isn't everything.
I think that this has a lot to do with bad parenting, as well. When you neglect your children they find other avenues for support and help.
My daughter had a friend with whom got a concussion from falling off of the equivalent of a one story building because she was trying to create a Tiktok. It has severely alter her world. This mother left her 10 year to her own devices long enough to have her build something, set up the camera to film this act, and perform it. This was clearly neglect. 🙄
I give my children space and autonomy, but social media influences are not parenting my children.
Our society has a lack of responsibility problem 😕 Social media is capitalizing on it!
We are living in a time when it's fashionable to be insane. I really hope sanity and sense come back to people's lives.
A friend of mine is a high school German teacher and he just got slapped by administration for teaching about the Weimar Republic and hyper inflation . They accused him of “indoctrinating” kids .
@@nancybaumgartner6774 they hate the truth.
I expect that when political correctness / wokeness has run its course and the lessons from its mistakes are learnt, then individual accountability will return more wisely than it was before.
@@just-a-fella3212 if society collapses before it gets to that point though it wont matter. Not for us at least.
@@antibull4869 True, perhaps. Societies tend to progress in spirals/helices/zigzags, so that what has happened before tends to happen again, and each time something happens again it is a little further forward and improved upon than the previous time. But yes, it does seem this pc/woke madness could go so far as to cause a societal collapse and invite invasion/attack from the nonwestern world. We do seem to be living through some sort of end-of-times; when Christian values and all they has given us is derided, even the family and free speech is mocked, we are pressured to hold sacrosanct and celebrate homosexuality, same sex marriage, the sexualising of children and youth and mutilating them to appear like another gender. It really is concerning. I do hope this is not the end of Christendom/the west.
One of the most challenging and heartbreaking aspects of being a therapist--in my opinion--is working with teenagers experiencing gender dysphoria. It is unbelievably difficult to navigate because of misinformation/propaganda/armchair experts on the internet; biased experts in fields outside of mental health weighing in on the topic and using their authority to influence others; stubbornness/know-it-all mentality + sensitivity of teenagers; peer influence; other clinicians (or anyone) validating what's invalid; access to resources that provide hormones to young people before they're fully developed, especially mentally, and without proper evaluation; judgment from Leftist clinicians; the general hostility that comes with it; etc.
Adolescents don't want their gender dysphoria to be assessed, and they don't want any aspect of it addressed with therapy; they just want to be affirmed. And the reality is, if they feel uncomfortable and/or don't like what you have to say, they can easily find another therapist who will tell them exactly what they want to hear.
Thank you for putting this so well. If a therapist is telling you things that are hard to hear, that means they’re a good therapist. No therapist should ever affirm everything you think, because that would imply there are no issues with your thought, in which case you shouldn’t need a therapist in the first place.
It’s getting even worse for psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors in my country as last year it was passed a federal bill that unable therapists, psychiatrists and surgeons to “deny” gender affirming treatment to children and teens.
This gotta be the only disease where the patient auto diagnose themselves and the health care professionals must bow down in obedience to their patients auto diagnosis. Unbelievable and scary
Gender dysphoria isn't a problem, it's the individuals perspective on gender. Many people these days simply don't understand the definition or words they are using. When you break it down and make it simple it's easier for the patient to understand. Also, you as a therapist can never tell another person what is or is not truth. That is actually concerning to me if I was to hear a therapist trying to tell a patient how to think. We don't even do this with people with delusions. We can give them our observations, but we don't tell them it's "not true". We can't tell people how to think, that's simply unethical and hypocritical.
This is the number one fear I have going into psychology, since how do you tell them the truth that is the opposite of what the media and social platforms are telling them?
It is heartbreaking and it's heartbreaking to hear about this as a mother myself and a grandmother. I remember when my kids were teenagers and my son went through such horrible heartbreak because his dad never came to see him or his sister except on birthdays and Christmas and I was doing everything I could as a single mom with a paralegal career and a girl broke his heart so he started cutting on himself. I had to hide every night and every pair of scissors in the house and I took him to a child's psychiatrist who put him on abilify. He stopped doing that on his own the minute he got in the high school the following year and actually no longer had that same girlfriend and it shows just how an association with one person can do so much harm to a person..
My daughter went from a straight A student and an athlete who was totally against any kind of drug use and marijuana to somebody who actually became infatuated with a boy two and a half years older than her which led to her become very sexually active at the age of 15 and got into smoking marijuana.. this guy she was so in love with broke her heart and it let her down a horrible path of doing much worse and getting into other kinds of drugs.. I don't think she ever used methamphetamine or I would have noticed her teeth and what methamphetamine does to your skin and I never saw that in her but I saw every other thing about her. 4 months before her 18th birthday her stepmother and I both ganged up on her dad and made him help her because she would end up in jail or dead. Today that girl is an LCSW & her dad worked as a physician's assistant in orthopedic surgery at first and then psychiatry, so you would think the man would know how to better treat his kids and spend time with them.. no he did not but he certainly did manage to finally listen to his wife and help Susanne. I told God I didn't care she hated me for the rest of her life as long as she lived and she was able to go to college and make something of herself and not staying in trouble and get killed or kill someone else, or heaven forbid overdose.. just that one boy started it all on top of other things our family had already been through that she managed to survive. The girl lived through me getting diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis when I was at the peak of my law career in 2001 and 2002, and being in so much pain (agony is more like it-physically and emotionally and mentally) and then my brother committing suicide in 2002. I had to hide my heart break from them because I had to stay strong for my parents and my kids.. God knows I have the ability to do that and then when I get a moment to myself I would lose it and just cry my eyes out...(every night I would lay in my bed and pray and talk to God because nobody else could help & I sincerely believed that whatever I couldn't do myself and God couldn't do couldn't be done)..
When the Stepmom made my ex-husband realized he needed to help her she went through straight complete detox in a matter of probably 30 days or more. I don't know how long it takes to get that stuff out of your system completely but I'm guessing 30 days is the worst. The only places she could go were with him to the gym and to church. He lived out in the country and she told me years later that if she really really didn't want to change herself that she could have left his house and walked and easy 10 or 15 miles to get to the city to get drugs.. I told her I was very aware that she could do such a thing... Oh I knew she could because she was very persevere like her mother and damn well determined to do whatever she wanted to do.. once she started using that perseverance and self-discipline into something good like going to school and getting her bachelors and then her master's degree, she was unstoppable.
She worked with behaviorally Disturbed kids when she was getting her master's degree. She was honest and told them flat up in junior high in high school that there's nothing they have done or thought about doing that she hadn't already done and was aware they were thinking or doing what she already knew they were thinking about doing..😆 it was like she could see it in their eyes or be able to perceive it in the way they talked and their body language.. she works with the veterans administration now. I'm very proud of everything that she's had to go through and my son as well.
My daughter is a social worker and a counselor believes that despite the fact that transgender ism and everything else with which I'm not as knowledgeable is in the dsm-4 and DSM-5 maybe classified as such but a lot of it starts out with many people like a fad and their insecure and they want to fit in..
Three years ago, I and 7 other strangers aged 17-23 entered a group on Twitter. We're all from Pakistan, a very very conservative, traditional society, so we never even heard the term non binary or gender fluid before. Everyone considered themselves straight and cisgender when they joined the gc.
Twitter was so Americanized, we were all exposed to these new ideas about gender, sexuality and western politics. Over the course of three years, 4 out of 8 of us decided they were non binary transgender and asked to be referred to by different pronouns, and 6 out of 8 of us decided they were bisexual.
I want to mention again, there are no such concepts in my country. Twitter gave half of us gender dysphoria and made most of us doubt our sexuality.
Good lord that’s horrifying.
I'd say that was a test of your mental well-being and maturity, to be exposed to radical new ideas and to be influenced/hypnotized in such a manner as to allow them to dominate your thinking. The problem with young people is that they're increasingly unable to confront these ideas and fall back on their foundation of what is true, right and sensible. That foundation is not there like it was in times past, due to the dissolution of the family and integration of strong moral values. Children are not having their needs met on a larger and larger scale and thus are becoming ill far easier than ever.
Hold on to your hat its gonna be a bumpy ride
That’s horrible
People think I'm mad for coming out woth this shit!!
Told a family member not to let her children at all ever!!!
Go on tiktok
Tiktok has been raising her son for the last 2 years :(
Mental contagion is the right term. Back when I was in high school anorexia spread between girls like crazy. Now it seems transgenderism is doing the same thing amongst confused teens.
When I was in school it was self harm. Girls always have stuff to deal with, but the difference now is this is being encouraged by the teachers, parents and state.
@@expressionofwill5307 exactly! Nuts
@@expressionofwill5307
It’s still self-harm, lol. Only of the genitals and endocrine system.
@@combativeThinker That is true, BUT you can get on the cover of Time magazine for having the courage to get your penis cut off. So you can get some social media fame or other kind of special attention for the self harm (and for having the courage to do it to yourself).
If people would just think of their body as a vehicle that their soul is inhabiting, perhaps they wouldn't feel so compelled to torture themselves with endless surgeries just because they think they just might have been put into the wrong body/vehicle.
If I woke up and didn't like the make of car I had I wouldn't pay a body shop $30,000 to have all the body panels re-contoured and new badges and nameplates put on to turn it into another make that I preferred. Especially if I had to be sedated and experience pain each time!
Why is who you THINK like to screw such an integral part of an identity anyway?
I can't even remember the last time I had sex and I don't have a problem with my identity... what the hell is the difference? What is the big frigging deal?
It's like children are bred to feel disadvantaged and "done to".
Social media has taught children to be snowflake narcissists who are on high-alert for any possible thing they might be able to interpret as offensive as a method to feel like they are powerful and important... possibly to compensate for bad feelings they have since their parents don't show them any love (since their parents are addicted to facebook).
@@autumnasbridge8691 you think cosmetic surgery is not without its risks and complications? Do you also think taking exogenous hormones is healthy, let alone ones for the opposite sex? Did you know that transgender suicide rates pre and post transition are higher than any other demographic category? Society is more accepting than ever before, but the suicide rate is the same is was decades ago, only now there's exponentially more trans people, so aggregate suicide is up. If you don't think this isn't as serious anorexia then I'm afraid you are mistaken.
This man has more moral courage than anyone I can think of. A gift for these confused times.

Nothing bad happened from bill C-16. He's a grifter
what she says about trauma is a significant thing. I desperately wanted to be a boy at the age of 12 and wore boy clothes and acted like one and hated my femininity. - for sexual abuse that took place. the hatred and dislike of my femininity and my gender continued until i was 25 years old. it needed trauma therapy. And I would say 95% of the patients I met with the same history and disease (ptsd) struggled with their female bodies because of it, also including terrible impulses of selfharm against the genitals. However, the solution does not lie in a transition, but in a reappraisal. therefore psychotherapy before a transition should remain more than mandatory! I am a proud and strong woman today. I find it irresponsible to reduce such a complex issue to a cause that has just become fashionable (everyone is trans) and thereby cause irreversible damage. it has complex causes and you should get to the bottom of it. there should be very strict criteria on a scientific basis and an age limit. today children are only confused even more and with the supposed "freedom" they are completely disoriented. I would have done a transition then - because of sexual abuse! And this is not a rare thing i can tell. I would have been bloody miserable today and it would have been like denying and killing a part of me even though the reason was a defense mechanism.
I always say the last thing a child or person should come across in these situations are feminists and other trans activists. They will just cultivate more hatred and further develop hostility towards "that other gender" and inculcate a morality that justifies any hateful feeling because "they are with more", or a watered-down, ill-described concept like "toxic masculinity".
And in this topic, you hear a lot of fanatics talk about heterosexuality or cisgender acceptance as some kind of mortal sin.
Also coming of age for girls can be very traumatic. It’s not supposed to be but we are definitely aware that as children most of the time we are not paid attention to by males. Then all of a sudden you are only 12-13 and men are suddenly looking at your new breasts. They say they “don’t mean to” and you’ll find even people in your family glancing at you in a different way. I remember it took me YEARS to get used to my body and the way I was being treated.
I went through a sexual trauma and did the same thing… schools preach a zero tolerance for anything but learning. Such a crock.. I was brutally stalked and then blamed by my principle. Literally told me it was my fault for being a weak female. That will stay with me for the rest of my life. I was many things at that age but weak. I was trying to survive without any adult intervention. Started self mutilation, cut off all my hair and started to identity as a boy.. that lead to being bullied and getting bullied for being gay or lez (you know kids) but then when my teachers started bullying me I tried to commit suici de x3. Thankfully they failed I had medical invention a school change and life long trauma. The arrested the guy but because he was under age they released him to his parents spite all the evidence of stalking and threatening to kill me and my family.. and the severe impact on my health.. it’s a painful memory now I’ll never forget
I work with traumatised children and 50% are sexually confused.
Well, you've come through it with rare and immense vision. That'll serve you well, now and forever.

Reminds me of when I heard that just a few hundred drug addicts were committing hundreds of thousands of property crimes a year in my city-shoplifting, breaking into cars, breaking into houses. Seriously: hundreds of thousands. 400 people x 3 thefts a day x 365 days a year is 438,500.
@@dixonpinfold2582 I fucking love numbers!!!
That is insane!!
It's the authority myth.
A big source of that problem (and Claire alluded to it) is how we have developed these large institutions that have so much control over our lives. They were created with good intentions, to stop bad things from happening and foster the good, but their sheer size and influence over so much of society meant they were vulnerable to abuse, and that is indeed what has happened.
And therefore, I am convinced one of our top goals must be to shift towards smaller units: smaller government, smaller business, smaller social institutions, smaller professional organizations, smaller social media, etc. "Big" has its benefits and that's why we've ended up with them, but we now have seen the serious dangers with "big" and therefore it's worthwhile to go "small".
@@DonTruman Every system corrupts over time.
A few days ago my spirit felt so uneasy and led me to delete my social media. I just watched /the social dilemma on Netflix and then the 1st video I see on YT is this one...a lot of people are not thinking for themselves and are so confused and confusing others and this is the society our kids are raised in...confused leading the confused, creating a ton more confusion
Be skeptical with the "social dilemma". It makes a lot of good points, but its conclusions are suspiciously inline with what Zuckerbergs was saying at the time it came out. If I remember correctly, it ignores all the biggest issues, like censorship.
Fellow clinical psychologist here - thanks for making this video - it’s wonderful to hear people speak rationally and openly about this topic 😊
Great talk. I recently watched Michael Knowles interview a de-transitioner and it was a lot of the same.
In roughly 5, 10, 15 years there will be A LOT of people with A LOT of deep deep regret. The animosity that will also exist towards various institutions, most notably the entire medical profession, will be immense too.
And more and more I'm very happy with the decision my wife and I have made to homeschool our kids, 6 and 2.
Good call with the homeschooling. I don't think there will be a lot of animosity, simply because this is all done under the guise of compassion, after all "we just did what YOU wanted". There will just be a lot of suicides and people driven to insanity.
And by deep regret I imagine it will end in quite allot of suicides or incarceration from the lack of physiological fortitude.
Homeschoolers do better on SATS, ACTS, and even socialization test...revealing how the public "educational" system is supposedly designed by the finest educators and psychologists in the land to churn out brilliant young minds, and yet a bunch of poor kids mostly teaching themselves can significantly outperform them. Best thing that ever happened to me, they failed me 2 grades, labelled me a "slow learner", went to home school and completed 2 grades in 1 year with near straight A's. Took several IQ tests, at over 140, at a time when people still thought IQ was fixed for life. I learned fast enough that this world is full of shit.

I'm not sure which I find more sickening:
1. That companies will fire you because someone complains about your religious or political views; some banks will even freeze your accounts.
2. The fact that people find it virtuous and take pleasure in ruining the lives of other people, to the fullest extent possible, over opinions or words.
Shows how false people really are. Plenty of people are happy to comply and perform both acts you have stated.

Protect your children, ditch the social media.
This is SO important. These kids have pathologized themselves with so much and each other. Not just gender but also they all think they have ptsd, borderline. OCD, clinical anxiety and depression … the list goes on.
Do you ever think about why they might think they have these things?
Borderline is huge. That used to be such an extreme and rare diagnosis. Now everyone claims to have it
It used to be Christians had their ‘identity in Christ’ as the teaching goes. They also had 2,000 years worth of practical teaching on how to get through life fairy well w/in the Christian identity, e.g.
My parents raised us w/out any religion in the 80’s and 90’s when that was still rare in America. I converted at the age of 20 after exploring all kinds of religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, pagan, Confucianism, etc.). All my questions were answered, I had community, faith, meaning, purpose, goals, etc. almost all of my mental health issues disappeared.
The loss of religion in the west isn’t a great thing. We don’t have a healthy replacement. I actually left 7 years ago having become somewhat dissatisfied. I explored it all again as an adult (nihilism, materialism, a bit of old fashioned hedonism), Christianity is still absolutely the best personal and communal framework for optimal living in my opinion.
Actually. A lot of them do. The data is showing that social media itself causes depression etc. And the exposure to electromagnetic frequencies are also suspect in this as well, so a double whammy right off the bat.
Add to that early school times for teens which is proven to cause more depression, suiciede, lower grades, and more in school fights.
Then add on how many children have absent or no fathers which is also proven to have the same side effects -depression, higher suicide rates and higher drug use and addiction rates.
Kids these days face more challenges than you ever had to.
Don’t shame them when they are fighting a legitimate group of invisible enemies they don’t even know exist.
Over stimulation of the mind and not enough of the body , toxic mentality plague the media and effects kids who don’t have the necessary structure in their lives.
Social media platforms like Facebook, twitter, tik tok etc are a huge mistake. They have done way more harm than good.
If you want to improve your mental wellbeing either delete them from your life, or at least drastically limit how much you use them.
That’s a sweeping generalisation, ringing with the sound, or silence more accurately, of inadequate thought. Just a note, their are a Billion people on fb, a billion. Don’t fall prey to the irrational and blow things out of proportion.
@@kcinkg there's a mental health crisis going on through the 1st world. Social media is a big factor in that. Studies have proven that it has negative effects on peoples mental health. If anything the issue is being underplayed.
Like guns, social media is just a technology. It is humans who distort them into lethal things. Socially transmitted hysterias are as old as humans. Look up “mass psychogenic illness” or “mass hysteria”. The real difference with social media is, through algorithms created by Silicon Valley companies, one can zero in on AN INDIVIDUAL’S weakness and exploit it. In that sense it’s much more diabolically efficient. Humans created it and they could stop it but that capacity for micro- targeting was developed to sell things thus will be very hard to walk back.
THIS. Truly and really - *such* a massive mistake. Permit me to dismiss the officiousness of the other reply here with a rather irrefutable sed contra: I am nothing if not grossly overeducated, I've been thinking long and hard about this for many years, and I fully agree with both your assessment and your advice. In my case, it was impossible to miss - or indeed overstate - how much my life changed for the better after I left social media (specifically Facebook) ten years ago. I did it for utterly pragmatic and quite concrete safety reasons that were very specific to my circumstances: at the time I had no substantial concerns over the trajectory, value or safety of social media - I considered such concerns paranoid and/or gratuitously negative: things were very different ten years ago. AND YET: the difference I saw in myself after giving it up was still *that* incredible. Moreover, what became even more impossible to ignore was how this left me standing on the banks next to a roaring river of social insanity, churning ever wilder, leaving me to wonder what on EARTH had gotten into everyone. There's just no other way to see this question, IMHO, if you're an honest person with enough distance to see the forest for the trees. Social media is a raging dumpster fire of failed experimentation: as a grandmillenial, I shall forever beat my breast for so naively ushering it into our society in the way that I did. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
Just like alcohol, kids shouldn't be allowed on it until age 21 if not 25
The subject of young people and gender dysphoria always reminds me of my high school days… nearly 20 years ago… literally around 1/5 of the girls in the junior/senior classes vehemently claimed they were actually lesbians, and that they wanted to just date each other.
They cut their hair, changed how they dressed, how they acted…
That lasted about 6 months and they were right back to being fully straight with no interest in other women whatsoever.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget that idiocy. Even older teens don’t understand their own minds and urges, sad social media is warping kids en masse into something they clearly aren’t.
That hallway must of smelled like Tuna-Town when tge crabbers trowled in!
One thing to note is that it's primarily a woman thing. Women are easily tricked by feeling-based esoteric new age stuff. The fact they are emotional before rational and high in neuroticism makes them easily fooled by kooky ideas.
The more cruel side of me would never let them live that foolishness down. And after the way I suspect they acted, they have a lot to amend.
@@proudatheist2042 How about bullying people for the way they dressed? How about bullying someone for their sexuality and who they liked? How about falsely slut shaming someone? How about the cyber bullying and defamation of character that happened on line? That and more were things I knew about that happened in HS and in college. They can start with not trying to be so fake when they run into you years later and act so innocent. An acknowledgement of wrongs done and a sincerely apology. How’s that for your failed attempt at self righteousness. You don’t know me or my friends you fool and this is a fight you don’t want to start.
@@proudatheist2042 i think its cringe worthy to call being bisexual or exploring sexuality cringe worthy. Nobody needs to apologise for high school sexual experimenting if its not hurtful or bullying. The fact girls are more sensual at a younger age makes it easy. The issue here is surgical and medical intervention for absolutely normal things. Surgery has consequences. HRT HAS CONCEQUENCES.
The real danger is the feedback loop of coded emotional programming coming from hype. De hype. De hype all day. Its the only way to reduce the damages. It needs to become popular to de escalate the thinking.
I was, as I always seem to do, sitting in my car near the pier yesterday with my wife and I was watching all the Gen Z and Young Millennials that were out and about. All of them were on their phones constantly. Never taking in the beautiful surroundings, the sounds of nature, and probably their own thoughts on what it means to be alive on this planet. I'm constantly in amazement how these younger generations are able to function and then I see the possible mental disorder's they're creating for themselves in this behaviour that's been normalized. I digress. Self introspection is quite important and I'm worried for the next generation.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but rather putting another point here: where are these kids parents? Honestly, I know this generation is insane, but the parents have failed their children. All I see is parents throwing cellphone/television onto their babies to shut them up while they go do something else.
I quit Facebook years ago, it was bad for my soul.
What happened to accomplishments through brawn or brain?
This $hit must stop.
So many narcissists. No substance, no personality, they are just impressed with the image of themselves, hence, the all day selfie taker.
To me facebook is just like an old address book, I spend about 10 minutes on it once a month, but yeah I can't tolerate much more than that. Good for forming special interest groups I guess.
It is horrifying how people are being pushed into transitioning when they aren't even old enough to vote and drink. It's one thing to convince an adult and another to convince young people who are impressionable and still developing.
Don’t worry, the left is attempting to lower the voting age.
Some of them aren't old enough to decide their own bedtime
dark psychology to control the mind. Welcome to the war on drugs and consciousness
I miss the common sense when parents told their kids NO TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS UNTIL 18...
I know of someone struggling with their "transitioning" pre-teen daughter. She says the trauma from the instability of the parent's marriage and the household of the drug abusing father is ignored by the therapists from the hospital's gender dysphoria clinic whose attitude is that of the 'everything looking like a nail when all you have is a hammer' metaphor.
Had this trans craze been going around when I was a child they'd have ruined my life. My brother died in a freak accident when I was not quite three years old, leaving my parents with two daughters when my mother by far preferred sons in the first place. Then my younger sister was born instead of a replacement son. I knew that my parents were crushed to have surplus girls while they'd lost the boy. I never lost the sense that the wrong child had died -- that it was supposed to have been me -- until after undergoing therapy in my late 20s. I thought as a child that if I became a boy, my parents would be happy and my mother would love me the way she'd loved my brother. They'd have packed me off to the "gender affirmation clinic" as soon as I drew a boy rather than a girl in the "draw a person" test. Never mind that as an adult I relish being a woman and consider grandmother to be my predominant role in life -- second only to mother. I'd have never gotten the chance. They'd have sterilized me and turned me into an unhappy pseudo male. I probably would have killed myself due to despair when becoming a boy didn't lead me to replacing my dead brother in my mother's affections.
Stories like your's should be heard more, thanks for sharing
Dear Lord, I’m so sorry! What on earth is a draw a person test?
@@anaone7923 Its a cognitive test done with children. The school had me tested in first grade because my teacher thought I was retarded and barely educable because I talked to myself.
One of the most sad consequences of this whole mess is that there are individuals, organizations and governments who are taking advantage of this mess in our society to benefit themselves at an enormous societal cost. This is a time of serious devolution of unsuspecting people. Very much like the story of Pinocchio.
It’s always been this way

Hello, Dr. Peterson, my friends and I were at your lecture at the Fillmore last night, and it was such an amazing experience! I also loved what you had to say about social media during the lecture. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to trying to help others and advancing our society as we know it!
When I was a kid I had a very masculine personality, I liked boys clothes, boys toys, playing boys sports, I hated anything feminine, if someone would have told me that transgenderism existed I would have beeeeeg to get that operation and be a boy, I truly believe I would ha e done it, and what a mistake that would have been because discovering my femininity and the feeling of being wanted for my female attractiveness has been the affair of my life with myself I am so proud of me, I am so much more than what I ever though I was...
I kinda hated/didn’t care much for girly stuff when I was a kid too. now that I went through the awkward phase of puberty etc and love my body i’m super feminine lol. I love being a girl 💅🏻 and real male attention makes me feel even more feminine
I wasn’t so extreme but I was a ‘tomboy’ and in a society like now I would have jumped in the bandwagon and at least have been very confused. Instead, I had no confusion, I was simply a tomboy, until I wasn’t.
@@SpiralMystic exactly! There's no reason to rush a kid towards an expensive and dangerous surgery to make permanent change that usually results in more depression when it fixes itself most of the time.
How do we stop these poor kids?
@@sagegallagher no idea. I was talking to someone earlier that went on hormones at 4th grade and thinks because they did plenty of therapy sessions and researched themselves they were more than qualified and kids should choose themselves. I pointed out that there's not really good long term data on that and you can't be smart about what's not there for you to read. I don't think I got anywhere.
It reminds me of when your poorly, so google your symptoms, and either you've got cancer, or you're on the verge of death. In this version, you feel unsettled, but instead of waiting for time/hormones to work it out, you see other people who have felt unsettled too, and think that means you must be like them... Absolutely terrifying!
I have a 13 year old girl, I don't allow her on social media and fortunately she isn't that interested, I tell her friends mums to keep their girls off but they don't listen, its scary that they are so protective generally but then let their kids sit on their phones all day.
Technology is developing at such a fast rate that social cultures have’t caught up to it. People don’t realize how potent (and potentially dangerous) social media is to influence a child’s development or a person’s thoughts. Its a form of communication and society doesn’t really see it or treat it like that and just like any form of physical communication, digital communication can have the same influences and even more. For example some parent might not like their kids hanging out with certain kids or people in the physical world but in the digital it easier than ever for kids to be exposed to anyone.
@@rayanahosn yes! I think in the future people will look at social media and wonder wtf were we thinking letting our kids get influenced by it, there's a way to go yet and if the people in power keep normalizing this s*it it may not happen but I live in hope for my child and grandchild.
This is an interesting point.
Yes. Wait till they are older and more able to think critically about what they are seeing. And guide them.
@@rayanahosn Its also scary how social media, which is for all intensive purposes a business that is there to make profit is now becoming a censor of what can and cannot be said on line- I agree that we dont want people inciting violence or being extreme but since when did corporations have the authority to decide what we say? since when did in the western world it become normal for corporations and government to collude to take down content that doesn't suite them? is this is a new thing I've noticed in the last few years or are they so arrogant now they do it in full view of everyone?, these social media platforms cant be trusted with regular news now so why the hell would anyone let their kids near them - honestly I feel like the world is going mad around me or maybe Ive just woken up lol
As someone with high openness, I have to be careful with the social contagions and emotional blackmail swirling around today. Feel like growing up without any rites of passage and with secular consumer culture as our "tribe" can be rough to form a solid identity and can make us excellent zombies for a given cause.
good observation
Well said
Yes my openness to experience is 97. I have experienced A LOT. I was sucked into Marxism and gender idealology, and the COVID madness woke me up. I am very open minded and have to be very discerning and use my intuition with everything I hear, it's helped me a lot. Centering into the self not others is key. Meditation daily. Disidentification.
In my experience as someone born and raised in Eugene Oregon (Eugene is famous for being extremely liberal where almost anything goes) it took some tough lessons to learn that openness is not always wise. After experimenting with drugs, sex, the punk rock scene, the rave scene, the hippy scene, the hip hop scene, the academic scene (I had a 4.0 through most of high school), the athletic scene (I was a state champion gymnast) I realized that none of these lifestyles actually satisfy. There is really only one way to be truly at peace, and that is to be grounded in truth, so that I can accurately discern good from evil. At 19 years old I surrendered my life to Jesus, was filled with the Holy Spirit and have been studying the Word ever since. Being saturated with the Spirit and the Word have made navigating the gender issues, COVID, and racial guilt, much easier. If we know who we are in Christ, it is much easier to stand firm against societal emotional manipulation.
Asking lots of questions, especially as to why you do things, raises self awareness, and thus self control and thereby less likely to be controlled. Studying logic, and using reason in everyday life greatly helps one cut through all the bullshit.
One of the most impactful things I learned when I was school studying Graphic Design and the great art movements of the 20th century, was that many of the art movements that impacted society encapsulated the notion of, 'radicals fighting institutions who once were radicals fighting institutions and the cycle goes on and on constantly pressuring society and mankind as a whole to decide whether to evolve or devolve.
I'm a behavioural psychologist in the UK, and my colleagues and I, along with several colleagues around the world, have been talking about this for several years now. (We even took to calling it Munchausen's by VPN for a little while as an 'in-joke'). Hopefully now that Jordan Peterson has taken what we've known for some years to a public platform, it'll get more traction and udnerstanding.
There was a mom on tiktok talking about her child being trans. She took her child to the doctor to speak about her child being trans and the doctor asked her if she ever researched about trans regret. She was horrified and took her child to a doctor who would affirm that child's gender and start treatment. It reminded me of Munchausen.
@@suras8984 Yeah, that trick of going to doctor after doctor, until you get one who agrees with you about the diagnosis you wanted before you went, is sadly all too common. There are a lot of "professionals" out there who become popular with certain groups, as they will compromise what they know, for what they "believe". There are also doctors who are easily bullied/intimidated/swayed into making whatever pronouncements the people want. Some groups keep lists of those sympathetic to their agendas, as well as those who will back down.
Like how some people will move, to be able to get their children into particular schools, some people will move to be able to register with a sympathetic doctor.
Also, Factitious Disorder Imposed On Self and Factitious Disorder Imposed On Another, AKA Munchausen's Syndrome & Munchausen's Syndrome By Proxy, has become a really problematic area, all due to naming. Even though we can still say Munchausen's, because of the associations that name has, you can get in trouble for "hate speech" and "upsetting language" by saying it.

It's weird, but hearing someone thinking while talking, and hesitating while giving an argument gives me confidence they don't just repeat something they heard somewhere else
I watched an interesting video of a re-transitioning and a large part of her talk was that social media played a huge part in her decision to transition. That it’s brainwashing and cultish how she was treated. Her simple self-questioning was latched onto and it was constantly put on her that she must be trans.
I would like to expand on a situation from centuries ago. In the United States we had the Salem Witch Trials. A tragedy born of moral panic and hysteria. It was not the ergot or the need for these people's survival by eating the bread that killed anyone. It was the moral panic and hysteria that they encountered-to be fair in an isolated environment-that the people took what was misunderstood and kept a child in jail for months, pressed a man to death, and the other atrocities associated with this. It was the people who killed and outcasted others based on misunderstanding. To be clear, ergot poisoning was given a name by the churches long before this event. It was called "holy fire" or "saint anthony's fire", but that knowledge was either unknown or ignored as they watched children acting in extremely questioning ways. Moral Panic. We can excuse their behavior since it was almost 400 years ago, but why this event is not a precedent for the things we argue about today is an extension of that tragedy.
As a trans woman myself this whole thing was fascinating. I definitely believe that this idea of a social contagion not only exists, but can be dangerous.
When people come to me asking for advice on the topic of gender identity the first thing is say is to not take it lightly, and really think through every part of themselves before coming to ANY sort of conclusion, and preferably do this with the guidance of a therapist who specializes in gender dysphoria. You really want to make sure you’re not misdiagnosed when it comes to this. The second thing I tell them is that If they end up deciding to transition medically, it won’t solve all their problems. It will only solve the things directly tied to the dysphoria, and even that won’t fully go away.
It took me YEARS of living in the closet being too afraid to come out, and part of the fear was not knowing if I was truly trans or not. Obviously at this point I wish I had come out and started transitioning sooner, but the point is this: you don’t want to rush it, you want to really make sure that’s who you are before you jump in.

Funny choice of words, epidemic proportions
@@faasramaekers My words were based on teen female suicide rates skyrocketing in the last year based on many of the things talked about here. Relevant because of my daughter's current situation. Perhaps my words are a bit funny but the situation we are living...isn't.
@@Overitall805 suicide rates and depression in young people is, I believe, most commonly attributed to social media use, climate change hopelessness, and most recently lockdowns. This issue isn't reaching epidemic proportions but the processes of how debate on the topic has shut down is certainly troubling!
@@aidanallen1976 Just curious what would constitute an epidemic increase in female teen suicide rates? In all seriousness.
It's jumped over 50% in 2022. Again, what would be a percentage increase that would be deemed "epidemic proportions?" I suppose a more than 50% jump felt..epidemic enough for me...but I may be biased per my own daughter. Just very alarming ..may be more suitable phrasing for some.
I love the long conversations! So much great information.
But I also really appreciate these smaller bites for the same reason.
There so much great information, but it's good to focus on specific points.
This is something I've faced myself. I think social media is a breeding ground for localizing and amplyifiyng ones own existing anxiety, depression, narcissism and etc. It's ironic because it connects people and also makes them feel disconnected
My daughter is dealing with this contagion, it is scary how much the liberal lawyers are on board to support something with very little research. I feel my child is a research lab animal for the liberals.
The American Bar Association is woke. I’m a lawyer in Nebraska and our STATE bar association in a conservative state is woke AF now too! I was liberal, but as I realized leftists were illiberal I associated more so with libertarians, being a limited government but socially traditional kind of person. It’s getting worse and worse unless we speak out against it.
@@schuylergeery-zink1923 oooo Thats why my lawyer friend who I grew up with became woke over time more-so since the pandemic. I was sooo shocked to hear her reiterate woke terms randomly. She is one of the most intelligent people I know but since the pandemic she was so scared she stopped thinking rationally like she used to and not just with things regarding the pandemic but all the radical left talking points.
Don't let her take hormones or have surgery while she's in your household, but let her do her thing otherwise. Just treat it in the same way as the kid who refuses to go anywhere without their batman cape. You're not helping anyone by belittling the experience. All you're going to get is your daughter getting worked up about how her dad doesn't support her, and then she'll leave home and be miserable.
The facts are apolitical. As a young woman, the pressure is debilitating to be good enough. Out of the profound struggles comes an empowerment and a strength of character, a sexual understanding of mind body and spirit that is simply unforeseeable at a school age. There is no physiological body of any man, that can do what simply embracing becoming an adult woman can do for the mentality of a girl. The hate of stereotypically girly things is still femenine. There are badass women who are more like a guy but arent a guy. There are men who are emotionally and physically less combatant. The fact is, the expression of your body wont FEEL loke it FITS until u arent a teen anymore. They never tell you while youre growing up that its normal to feel lots of different ways . It is! Its fine! And being a guy physiologically isnt stabilizing unless you drug yourself. Forever. Think about that. We need to absorb the full spectrum of personality types in both genders. Also, start telling women to enjoy their bodies and that sex is healthy! Its great! Its good for stress, for weight, for appetite, for real! It takes time to click with a good partner but you get one and BAM so much for the disphoric... hello to euphoric. These boys need to learn to honor and bless their women, and not demoralize. Good luck with your girl. Dont let her choose before her body has become what is will become. Her mind will benefit from meditation. Her body from probiontics and her friendships may be promoting this . Good luck.

WTF?!!!
Thank you Jordan for all your great work and for helping so many people.
2:35 Thank you! I completely agree. If I may put in even more simpler terms, Boys who rather cooking than hunting and girls that rather working on cars than knitting sweaters, doesn't mean they need to "transition". Those that do are feeling pressure of those who are looking for affirmation for their decision to transition. Instead however people should embrace how they were created and that the diversity of talents and abilities, likes and dislikes, contained in the DNA programing of the individual should be celebrated. I believe there is a lot to say about self-control or lack there of in our culture and allowing others dictate another's choices is simply acquiescing to that control. The social media problem has compounded the allowing peers to influence exponentially .
preparing to do a video about this topic, and this one came up. Great discussion. We are entering a new phase of 'knowledge' where everyone can decide which social addiction to pursue, and groups are ever more tightened and isolated, while also connected to the world. It is a paradox that we are becoming more individual, and also more like everyone else.
Thank you! I have been saying many of the same things, as having struggled with gender dysmorphia my self, and coming to terms, and to appreciate the body God gave me. I’m so grateful these extreme options, and encouragement were not provided when I was a youth. Tolerance of my expression was enough. What a horror of a mistake it would have been for me.
"So it is a very, very courageous thing to do to gain your freedom. You do not live in a free world, and you are not a free person. Not really. So Steps to Knowledge really is the road to freedom, real freedom-freedom to be inner directed, freedom to have real integrity, freedom to be able to think freely, to think creatively, to think spontaneously.
Before that happens, everyone thinks according to patterns. They think according to prescriptions. And they generally think what they are told to think through their social and family programming. That is why there is so little original thinking out there. There is so little originality. There is so little real creativity. There is a whole lot of imitation. There is a whole lot of imagination. But it all begins to look the same, doesn’t it?
People are really copying each other. Where is the real originality? Where is the real dynamic thinking? Where is the breakthrough? You might as well be on a chain gang out building the road. Everyone is doing what everyone else is doing. When you look behind and beyond the appearance of personal freedom, it looks like a chain gang. When you look at where people really are in their thinking and their evaluations of themselves, and you see how little originality there is, and you see how people really are just simply going along with everything else, it looks like a chain gang.
The man or woman of Knowledge will see this so clearly once they are able to see clearly. They will not be deceived by appearances. They will not look at beauty and see real beauty. They will not look at wealth and power and glamour and all these things and be swayed by them because they will be able to see through them because their minds have been freed enough to do this.
Because Steps to Knowledge is a gift from God, it is a really mysterious process. It is happening at a deeper level, really."

One of the best things I ever did, was limiting my social media and modern media in general. I have always had a firm stance against Twitter and TikTok. Twitter has been known to destroy your communication skills and TikTok is known to destroy your cognitive ability and your attention span. I personally only use Facebook to communicate with people I know and don't listen to news feeds or political posts on it since they are either far left or far right propaganda pieces.
Twitter and TikTok seams to be instilling mental health disorders among it's user base including gender dysphoria. Mental health disorders need to be treated and diagnosed in a specialized medical facility and not by social media influencers and addicts.
In my humble opinion, I find the majority of modern media to be extremely politicized and way to close too out right propaganda. It has caused me to become an advent reader of classical fiction, and honestly, I couldn't be happy about that decision. It reminds me what good story writing actually is even if it has an underlining political message in it.
The best advice I can give to someone is find something outside social media that you enjoy and limit your use of social media in general.
I recall an incident at university years ago where over 30 students were treated by EMS for extreme nausea. Maintenance people shut down the building over fears that there was some kind of gas leak. After extensive investigation, they found absolutely nothing.
What's interesting, is that despite there being more males than females in the building at the time, the students experiencing nausea were all female. The conclusion was that the students had experienced some kind of mass delusion of a shared condition.
Sound familiar??
The phenomenon on social contagion in mental health isn't exactly new and occored without social media platforms . 'A Time to dance, A Time to die: (The extraordinary story the dancing plague of 1518)' gives a theoretical perspective as to why a mass type of hysteria occurs and is quite engaging for anyone interested in this particular subject.
A scratch!? Your arms off!
You have to go no further than COVID to realized the power of mass hysteria and social contagion .
I thought that was suspected to be a virus. I remember on mystery diagnosis a boy had a compulsion to fidget all of the sudden and it turned out he had a virus or something attacking his brain.
Dancing plague was caused by exposure to ergot fungus in rye.
@@Bixnood69 True, but there was a lot of mass hysteria involved as well : ergot fungus doesn't affect people with the same symptoms at the same time. There have been many videos aboutthis phenomenon. Maybe the first people impacted were contaminated with ergot fungus, but it went out of control after that. Therefore, ergot fungus tends to turn the flour into a red color, so people would know if the flour was bad or not.

This is such a good message. Claire's point about being a tomboy and other commenters' sentiments made me realize now that the reason I wanted to be a boy when I was younger was because of the lack of female support I had going through puberty. I physically matured very quickly and also had (and still have) menstrual issues, and didn't have much help in those regards other than to try to figure things out for myself online. Even when my menstrual issues were causing me to lose sleep and impacting my day-to-day life, I was shrugged off as if I were being overdramatic. That really stung, coming from my own mom who knows I'm not a dramatic type.
I did eventually get medical help, and that's still an ongoing journey in itself, but it makes sense to me now why I hated all things that made me female and tried to hide them in my youth - not due to abuse, but due to that being the area in which I received little to no support growing up.

Dr. Peterson,
I noticed you cut off Miss Lehmann at 6 minutes, and she may have been temporarily put out. You are admirably articulate and informed, so I hope you remain as palatable as possible; more people could benefit from your teachings.
Sincerely -
Great conversation and good to see two sane and positive psychologist telling the truth, uplifting!
Imagine how many problems fall away when your real problem is finding food and staying warm. Only an overly comfortable society gets create fantastical confusion out of boredom.
When people have little or no problems, they make them up.
Thank you, seen this in others but not being a professional, I am dismissed. What is worse is peer pressure is used as a aid in this by teaching kids at younger ages to better pressure others. Once again, thank you for doing this video.
For anyone who is experiencing this phenomenon directly, this talk is so right on and really gets to the core of what is now an epidemic of young girls in society.
I’ve been thinking about these problems for a great many years
It’s a double edged sword…the proof is that I’m watching this on social media along with many other helpful videos…like in life, we need to teach individuals to seek out the good and avoid the bad…unfortunately, the trash is much more appealing to the immature mind…this should be an area where schools and parents could work together, but schools are now part of the problem, unfortunately
I'm really glad he let her speak by the end of the end. I'll have to watch the full video to learn more about social contagion.
Thanks for shedding lights on a very complex subject while most including polarized influencers seek for an easy solution to swell their rank. Individuals are weak, but strongly identify with a group identity only further diminishing their personal character and strength.
Absolutely Important topic to discuss which no one is doing and a very informative and clear perspective at it... Great Job, we need more people like them 👏 👍❤
Also, the trauma of having transitioned binds the person easily to promoting what destroyed them, to not face what you've done. (As we know mothers who lost their sons in war, justify the war so the loss wasn't for nothing.)
Great point!
That is a really great thinking point. I had never thought of it.
@@autumnasbridge8691 well he’s referring to those who didn’t think it through thoroughly enough. Of course not everybody who’s transitioned feels that way.
But the underlying conversation of all of this is, miserable, confused, depressed people adding more problems to the mix by transitioning. So now they’re either with a penis or a vagina but with the same problems.
Which why these people go extra hard on transitioning because they know no other solution to their problems for their vast misery.

I've been watching a lot of videos about this! I'm glad you're talking about it
I need my daughters to have their phones while at school for location services and to coordinate pickups and drop offs.
I noticed a considerable behavioral change with my middle child the more she integrated with social media. Primarily TicTok, but her social groups as well.
When I had her delete TicTok and social media apps her attitude and behavior changed, and she seemed less tense with lower anxiety. Honestly, it’s hard to compete with social media, educational “systems,” advertising, and peers as a parent.
I can see how all the messaging leads to mental pressure and behavioral issues.

'You know penises are actually quite complex it's not that easy to take your arm and turn it into one'. This guy is special in so many ways.
One of the worst things that ever happened to this world is cell phones and social media.
And television
@@smokingcrab2290
Television was more than enough for an entertainment. It was an overkill.
Maybe social media is one of the worst things that has ever happened to political divisions and mental health, but if we didn't have it you wouldn't be watching this video or leaving that comment.
Cell phones are just a gateway to social media, they aren't the cause of issues they just make it easier to access them.
Making it easier to connect with other people quickly from anywhere has likely benefited the world overall. It has made is easier for the average person to access the collective knowledge of humanity, but also allowing the quick spread of misinformation.
I think people need to be trained how to interact online. A potentially good system is in place, but it's being used by inexperienced and gullible people who quickly spread toxic ideas to one another.
If I have kids I want to introduce them to the internet and social media early on and guide them through it so that they can benefit from it while avoiding the toxicity it reeks of.
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM.

IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD!

NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

@@Spyblox007 I agree. Good comment.
The way JP explains stuff is just so EASILY digestible. He’s the GOAT
Our youth, our world, need a formal Peterson lecture/talk covering this issue. The type that is informative, covers the important points, is hard-hitting and goes viral.
Thanks Dr. Peterson for speaking your truth and for doing the very hard work to find out what the truth is.
Thank you dr. Peterson for all you do.
This was an amazing Video hope to see a longer version in the near future much love from Norway ❤️
We gotta share this to help others!
Your content has made my life so much better, thank you Jordan. ♥️
This man’s work basically saved my life. Like I was a drug dealer and addict and depressed. And his content literally changed my life in the last 3 years I have been sober went back for my high school diploma got a great a job went back to college and almost have my degree in welding technologies. Like people without strong father figures I think gravitate towards his work
Jordan is absolutely right. sex should not be taught until 18 to 21 years old. enough confusion out there already
however sexual awareness should be taught before then, because due to population density today its more likely for someone growing up to come into contact with a sexual predator than it used to be, and they need to be aware of what to watch out for, because of how fractured the family system has become due to the increased pressures and expectations in society today
It should be taught just not encouraged. Around 12 -14 is a good time to teach them. And they really need to teach the dangers of porn in school also. They need to teach them why it's lame to be a fuckboi or a hoe most importantly.
Great discussion on an issue that needs to get far more attention.
Great talk, and Quillette is appreciated.
Thank you Dr. Peterson for bluntly and with zero trepidation addressing such a controversial subject. I agree 1000% with you and your guest perspective on “transgender” young children. It sickens me to see parents encouraging their young children to embrace this life without thinking of the long term repercussions.
Her last few points on this clip are spot on. It's unacceptable.
Fantastic discussion
Social media, designed to socially connect people... reality, makes you more alone then ever, while seeking gratification of existence via a "like" or "retweet". Oh my how far this world has come.
Deleting socials was the best thing I ever did. Have never once looked back.
there was a girl in school that while a teacher was asking a question she answered it yet not what the teacher wanted her to ask, she got slandered by the teacher and the students started to do the same, she realized that she didn't have to think what others thought of her, she could think anything she wanted about herself, what you think is where you will go and become.
I don't know how education can be so effective at killing my interest in it when I have watched probably approaching a hundred hours of Jordan Peterson talking with people and lecturing about topics that we should learn in education.
Its effective at killing interest because the curriculum is a standardized shit show based on projected worker placement skillsets and lacks the diverse, communicative and engaging social psycology of todays levels of interaction. We need funding directly linked with beneficial, debate worthy advancements in tech and explorations of disciplined effectiveness and cellular development to inform our microbiotic enhancements so that our bodies live better.
I used to have a tumblr blog about urban planning because starting a blog is what you are supposed to do when you don't have a job, and I followed some other blogs/photostreams about architecture. Starting in about 2014 I started getting feeds I never subscribed to about social justice and LGTB issues, and the content just kept getting more and more extreme. I also developed a severe case of depression relating to my employment situation; and I don't think the two things are unrelated.
My child identified as trans for around three years. I believethat I know my child quite well, and I Kew it was a matter of an idea presented fro the putside world rather a realisation from their inner self, and that they embraced it as the answer to to the confusion and I security they felt about who they are in the wider world and how to feel safer and more important in the eyes of others. Its a delicate path to tred as a parent. A really delicate path. Validating your child's emotions while protecting them.... are not always one and the same thing. My child and I had a number of genuinely honest and respectful conversations. Thankfully they understood and valued my ultimate feelings and concerns... much like I valued theirs. They can be anything they choose, but I can not in good conscience as an adult and a perent, agree to any form of medical intervention, given that they are still a child and have an immense amount of physical and mental development to experience before such decisions can be made, and by them alone. I can not commit to reasignment in the knowledge that it might o e day be recognised as butchering. I couldn't sign that off on anyone, regardless of my technical/legal authority to do so. I am lucky that my child valued my thought as much as I valued hers, and I am deeply pleased for her that she found a peace, a recognition and a connection to her feminine biology and psychology again, in a worl that constantly throwing craziness at her..
I worry that many children do not have the absolute freedom and confidence to turn back to their true gender once out as trans. I personally experienced a huge sigh of relief that I trusted myself and got it right for my child. I worry for others. I truly do. I am not against transgender. Adults cannot as they please, whatever their reason is. I am against harmi g children, and can not apologise for that.
I so agree with the "contagion" concept. There are always people at the margins of any attempt at classification of psychological disturbances. So when diagnoses become "popular", there will be mis-classifications. This is why I find the large pressure groups regarding gender, from woke Hollywood to Florida Legislatures, to be so harmful. Figuring out the proper course of action or therapy is incredibly difficult. Self interested pressure groups are not helpful.
I think there's a couple of issues going on. For example, it's pretty obvious that sociopaths have discovered they gain a tactical advantage in their manipulative efforts by claiming to be some extra special gender. Anyone who doesn't go along with their manipulation gets called a this-phobe or a that-phobe, and surrounded by a mob of zombies.
As a fan of David Bowie I think this is something I learned from him. You can be very creative, unconventional and even androgynous or feminine as a man.
I quit social media during the trucker convoy due to Facebook's censorship and i stopped watching mainstream news propaganda and i haven't been this happy in years, ever since. I'm since been practicing meditation and yoga and i feel so good. Looking within to find happiness and peace rather than looking outward. Also learning Qi Gong thanks to you Jordan. Love you brother.💗✌
I've never learned so much whilst being yelled at before. Thank you Dr. Peterson!!
I'm been talking about this for so long. I've been trying to do research work to the correlation of the epidemic rise of mental illness and disorder in relation to technological advancements in mass communication in proportion to the gradual decline of individual identity with the rise of group identity along the lines of mass hysteria but more like a mass imposter syndrom
It sucks I live in a country where I neither have the resources or cultural support to purse mental health research work
@@crabinthetophat490 that would make it extra important for you to try to do.

My sister became my brother some 30 years ago when such a thing was immensely taboo. it wasn't me that transitioned but it had a serious affect on me. Just as i was hitting puberty this happened. it confused me so much i did not have my first real girlfriend or lose my virginity until i was 25 years old, i feel like i wasted my youth in that regard, i am not a bad looking guy and just felt so desperate but unable to act on my feelings - utter frustration . I just felt intense shame with my natural feeling of sexual attraction to girls, i cannot explain it, but it was a thing for me.
My parents did not explain it to me at all. I love my brother dearly and in his case, he transitioned and lives as a man and you would never know. My point is that it has a definite effect on others. It did me anyway. So it should not be promoted the way it is nowadays. All these dozens of genders is just nonsensical to me. I can understand someone transitioning from male to female or vice versa, but deciding you are something in between just does not compute for me. Sure there are effeminate men and tom boy women, whats so bad just leaving it at that and not creating these other genders. there must be so much confusion out there for the youngsters of today and i do feel sorry for them.

I love Jordon, his mind works at a million miles an hour, he’s extremely well read on the topics discussed and many of us here know his thoughts on these. That being said, I would have liked to hear more from his guest. I feel he interjected a fair bit throughout this discussion, without letting her complete her point.
5:10 Regarding doing something so important early, it's interesting to notice parallels between hormonal and surgical procedures and getting married and having kids while still being relatively young. On the one hand, youth can really multiply success IF the right decisions are made. But on the other hand, youth can really multiply failure if the wrong decisions are made.
High stakes like these underscore the need for good representation in politics, medicine and society more generally. But even more importantly, we need a culture that supports free speech and free thought so that we can evaluate the competence and trustworthiness of the few we rely on to represent our interests with their expertise.
Agreed

I'm glad androgynous personality was brought up. Cultivated intelligence has both masculine and feminine qualities. The problem is the predominance of one in the opposite gender, which leads to imbalance. Sadly, as Dr. Peterson says, insecure individuals become prey to distorted thinking.
The imbalance of gender isnt the issue. The issue is the perception of gender physiology as a cure all for the intolerance of gender personality fluctuations.
@@autumnasbridge8691 while i do think there is confusion in the correlation between "amounts of (man or woman) in one gender"...sigh... I also hope you accept that you arent fighting for anything when you insult someone directly for a speculative comment. Even when you have much more knowledge about something, the other parties can't get to the knowledge if their own discomfort with your "side" of a debate is governing their affiliations. People need context. Educate without attack. It will move many miles more in the desired direction direction

It's cool to be a fly on the wall with a conversation between such well informed people
One of the brilliant things about JP is that his opinions are informed by both vast personal observation and exhaustive research. Anyone who labels his perspectives as politically motivated is both self and externally deceptive. Every one of his analyses of the dysfunctions he wants to reduce, acknowledge the complicated nuances of the problems. While he states that there are simple solutions that the sufferer can employ he readily admits that simple does not mean easy ... particularly if the subject is unwilling to be honest with themselves and do the work that leads to healing.
