I’m seeing a lot of people complain this isn’t medical, well yes it isn’t necessarily about science, it’s about patient treatment which is still the largest portion of the medical field. If you don’t learn how to treat a patient properly by making them feel comfortable and respected then you are just as bad a doctor as one that doesn’t know any of the actual medical science knowledge. Most people are here to learn about something, probably science, but just because a video comes out about a topic that is slightly different doesn’t mean you should immediately hate on it. You are still here for some type of education so why does the topic of this one immediately become bad just because it’s not about science or a topic you don’t want to learn about. If you didn’t want to learn about it in the first place, why did you click on the video. And Osmosis if you see this comment, I personally love this video and thank you so much for educating people on this topic, it is so important nowadays, even if it does get a lot of hate from some people who are closed-minded.
It's about a degradation of society in the form of a nuclear family. When there is NOT both a mother and a father doing their individual parts together as parents, the chances of their children forming a proper understanding of the roles of both men and women in society and families decreases significantly. When this happens you have people who believe it's okay to have sex outside of marriage, which means they "explore" their sexuality and eventually come to the many "identities" and "orientations" that we see today. It's pure INSANITY to believe that there are more genders than male and female. There simply is not. We are not amphibians, reptiles, or any other form of animal.
From a transwoman working in health care: thank you so much for covering this, I think it was an excellent overview and am already sharing it with people to explain what being trans means 🧡
knowing the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
Oh my word, where has this video been all the times I needed to explain gender identity to someone? A super clear, concise explanation of intersex conditions and gender identity / dysphoria. Thank you!
Thank you so much. My professor strictly told me to go through this topic so that I don't in future harm someone unintentionally. This topic was much needed for awareness for medicos. All those who are confused that why this topic is important should know that one has to be careful while writing prescription, taking history, sexual history, and being compassionate overall. We are the last people from whom discrimination is expected. We have to be extra careful.
This. The point of this video is to inform medics about proper practise. It doesn't matter if you are offended that this video is too "woke" or don't believe that people can be anything other than what they are born as. It's about respecting your patient and making them comfortable so they can talk freely, so you, as a clinician, can take the best course of action.

thanks for the explanation, I have a friend who was born female but recently told me that he prefers to be referred to as a male and be called with his male name (sadly unofficial), but on top of that he also told me that he is Bi and is attracted to both males and females, so I was a little confused, this video cleared things for me, thank you
Well, your friend cannot be referred to as a male because she is a female and nothing will ever change that. Being a female and not confirming to gender expectations is fine. You cannot change your sex but are not restricted by it
@@Aajaaha so are you saying that being male or female has nothing to do with being a man or a woman?? In which case what differentiates men from women?? Whats the point of the terms man and woman if they have no meaning??
this accumulates all of the years of research I have done, from multiple sources, into one video. I can't express how appreciative I am of this video, it is extremely helpful and I will absolutely be using it in the future for reference. in addition, as a healthcare professional I am extremely grateful for this video on your platform because it is so important to be culturally competent in healthcare and that includes the LGBTQ+ community! especially considering the fact that lgbtq+ people are more likely to not seek healthcare due to lack of understanding/empathy and discrimination. it is so important to spread awareness and correct information in the healthcare professional and in general, so I thank you again for creating this video.
Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?
Can we talk about gender dysphoria as a genuine, diagnosable mental illness (found in the DSM) and whether these steps work to treat it or whether they work to enable it? I know this is a controversial subject, but healthcare ethics really interest me.
Well, it's usually included in the DSM to protect the patient's rights to seek medical care for it and get insurance for it. And actually it used to be called a "disorder," but changing the language to "dysphoria" is an act of reducing negativity around it.
Thats the thing it can be a disorder or dysphoria, truth is kids,teenagers and young adults are being taught its ok to be that way when in fact it isn't. It's like trying to connect to opposite sides of a magnet together
Anything, regardless if a disorder or not, should be addressed and aided (if needed) in case it creates a frustrating atmosphere that makes life harder for everyone. Period.
We used this video for our MAPEH class, I'm so glad we're getting education about this especially in the Philippines, more Filipino youth needs to get education about it!
What is it called when u romantically like the opposite gender and sexually like the same gender? I think that's what i am but i cant find the answer anywhere :( Edit: its called heteromantic homosexual, thx for the help :) also i realized im fully gay lmao
What a great video! I work as a psycho-social counselor for queer people in Germany. It's such a good overlook at the gender topic which is often so emotionally charged that it needs scientific reasoning.
man, I’ve been waiting for a video like this. especially regarding the healthcare aspect- as somebody who is pursuing the medical field this is genuinely so important the fact you made intersex people known is not something people tend to mention, just... very very good video
@Josh the Art Critic In all honesty, it's not my place to know or want to find out. That's their own information about their bodies to divulge to whoever they see fit. I absolutely understand that there are specific ways to represent the certain specifics of being intersex, but the point is that intersex is the umbrella term for people who do not have genitalia that corresponds to the standard definitions of the male and female sex. That's how I use it here, and if people want to introduce themselves in terms of more specificity, they can absolutely do it. Both general and specific terms are important, I don't think that one is outdated while the other isn't; it simply is that one is more specific than the other. It's like... take the condition of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Different patients with IBS will have different subsets of the same condition (IBS-D, IBS-C and IBS-M), but you can still say the person has IBS; it's just not as specific.

Thanks a lot! I was wondering what I classify as and now I think I can answer every question that was talked about in the video (Gender at birth, Sexual orientation, pronouns and etc)
Never allow anyone to tell you what classification you are.... especially a stranger, they mean nothing to you or your daily life ,living or lifestyle you choose.. look in mirror and stay these things.. I'm not an object I'm not A CLASSIFICATION IM NOT PART OF A GROUP OF LABLES AND I WILL PAVE MY WAY .. MY MAY MY DREAM !!!
Did you watch the video? Explain how sex is a spectrum? Describe what variables shift sex. What the spectrum looks like.. how it works. Can you do ANY of that?
@@shabby_vlogs9923I watched it, and l agree “home schooling looks to be the way forward’. This video is a complete load of political crap, how the heck has humanity survived for the last 60,000 years without correct gender identity! 😒🤦
So the premise from the first 90 seconds is XX chromosomally, biologically female and XY male, but there are rare mutations/deviations/exceptions where there may be a gene that doesn't align with presentation and that these may be intersex. So now we've gone from normal, more than 99.9% male/female with a rare, less than 0.1% intersex grouping to the claim that there is a spectrum. There clearly is a missing explanation here or the claim of a spectrum is false. We've got XY/XX for greater than 99.9% and than a variety of inconsistencies labeled as intersex. You could claim a spectrum for those inconsistencies, but the evidence of a spectrum from XY to XX. Take a 12 inch ruler. The spectrum would look like the first 5.995 inches on the left are male, the 5.995 inches on the right are female and the middle 0.01 inches are intersex. From there if you wanted to focus on that 0.01 inches you could put classifications such as XX chromosome with increased testosterone and XY chromosome with increased estrogen and a variety of other abnormalities. Labeling the entire ruler a spectrum seems like a misrepresentation of the underlying facts. If you want to label the middle 0.01 inches a spectrum, that seems more appropriate. If the middle 0.01 inches that represents intersex associated abnormalities is a spectrum, then we could look at every abnormality from a perfectly healthy human as a spectrum from finger count to cancer. I will watch a few more videos to see if there is any actual science behind using the term spectrum for the 11.99 inches on the ruler or conclude that this is a false pseudoscience without any basis in an objective, scientifically provable reality and instead an opinion based on subjective feelings in practice.
Transgenderism remains a wholly incoherent worldview. One in which people confuse gender itself with gender roles and norms (or appeal to circular reasoning). One in which they insist others are incorrect in using terms like "man" or "woman" while being unable to provide objective, workable definitions for these terms themselves. And one in which they often equate disagreement with hate, which is not only illogical but dangerous.
So true. I'm a gay person and I don't care about someone's feelings, I only want rationality. My "community" doesn't accept me. I have been called boot licker of straight whities.
tbf your worldview would be considered incoherent by your standards as well. in reality, every aspect of human society is incoherent and subjective. because of this, it’s often suggested that we go about setting subjective norms through a utilitarian type analysis with the focus of reducing human harm.
@@adnwzhre "tbf your worldview would be considered incoherent by your standards as well." Not at all. I can give workable definitions for terms like "gender", "man" and "woman" whereas those who subscribe to transgenderism never can. "it’s often suggested that we go about setting subjective norms through a utilitarian type analysis with the focus of reducing human harm." Except that, as I said, your worldview lends itself to equating disagreement with hate which is dangerous.
Biological sex exists on a spectrum? I’m sorry but this displays just a fundamental ignorance about what a spectrum is. And what sex is… at least the common biological usage. To say a variable exists on a spectrum is to say sex is a continuous variable that can be represented on a parameterized axis. What is on the x axis here? What variable(s) shift sex one way or the other? Are male and female points on this spectrum? If so… what’s another one? What’s, say, directly to the right of “male”? If these questions can’t be answered… sex isn’t a spectrum.
Heterosexual= correct Bisexual = correct Pansexual = correct Asexual = correct Homosexual = Noooo, we must use the modern word that has long meant happy “gay”.
You understand that it is just slang that later turned into vocab? Words change and words can have synonyms. You wouldnt say that calling a heterosexual person straight is bad because straight is already used as another word, would you? What about asexual being ace, which is also a word that has a different meaning, like in a game of cards? What about Pansexual being shortened to pan, which also is a kitchen utensil? Both words are correct and nobody is saying that calling someone homosexual is bad and people should instead say gay, they both can be used interchangably and you just made this up to be mad about.
@@_tringle That is interesting argument to counter my point on this. However the presumption is in regarding to other adoptions of vocabulary are not entirely accurate and would have been better left as a strait question. I am not keen on the word strait for heterosexual, but you are right to a degree that it bugs me less for reasons i could explain in depth, but in short, what bothers me is not a word being used as an adverb to describe a phenomenon or trend rather, the verb being outright stolen and reassign to a different meaning, the word "gay" is almost never used synonymously with happy because of its over use synonymously with homosexual, where as no one has a bother using "straight" or "bent" in conjunction with many unrelated sentences. Again you are confusing my upset with words being stolen and reassigned [bastardised] and with homonyms and abbreviations. I do also find myself wondering if you watched the video and if so if you have your own biases as if you click to 2.50 in the video you will see where it has a red cross next to homosexual underneath the green tick next to gay not but 4 seconds after where the narrator says "the proffered term is gay not homosexual", yes while the adjective "proffered" would indicate that both are still not entirely wrong, the green tick next to Gay followed by the red x' for homosexual would indicate otherwise. Thank you all the same for the conversation.
@jonathanthemad7071 Good poent that the barstardization of the word gay might have been "ruined" because now it you say it, there is no other meaning compares to other slang terms, as it was fully accepted. Im not sure why homosexual is deemed bad as a word, but maybe it is because the bad stigma of it being considered as a mental illness, so it is not used as much compared to the other words. Glad we came to a civil conclusion.
@@stephenpope578 technically yes, but sometimes it gets a bit more complicated, take demisexuals for example. Some people only experience romantic or sexual attractions in certain circumstances. However, gay people do exist. I am friends with a gay couple who are happily married and have adopted two kids.

Wait. So is gender a stereotype or is it just expanded sexism? Shouldn't we abolish the term "gender" altogether and just let people be whoever and whatever they want to be?
I hope you make another video about intersex individuals i feel that there are many misconceptions and confusion so explaining it scientifically would be a good step for better understanding

@@dan69052 I was not talking about religion I was talking about science as in the possible hormonal causes or phenotype/karyotype that don't match or any other reason because the medical references I have couldn't help much
I just wish there weren't so many misconceptions about sexuality. I don't think it should be taught outside of sex ed, but it should be easier to learn about this stuff if you want. I had to go to a New Zealand website just to figure out what asexual/demisexual was. I live in the US!
Biological sex is either male or female. Contrary to what is commonly believed, sex is defined not by chromosomes or our genitals or hormonal profiles, but by gametes, which are mature reproductive cells. There are only two types of gametes: small ones called sperm that are produced by males, and large ones called eggs that are produced by females. There are no intermediate types of gametes between egg and sperm cells. Sex is therefore binary. It is not a spectrum. Similar to sex, gender - both with regard to identity and expression - is biological. It is not a social construct, nor is it divorced from anatomy or sexual orientation. Despite what contemporary scholars may have you believe, all of these things are very much linked. Biology, not society, dictates whether we are gender-typical or atypical, the extent to which we identify as the sex we were born as, and the partners we are sexually attracted to. Anyone who brings in the phenomenon of 'intersex' to supposedly demonstrate that sex is non-binary has not fully understood it either. Intersex people are people born with a mix of what is masculine and feminine. But even intersex people can still be defined as male or female by checking which of his or her two genitals are active. If it produces sperm, it is a male. If she produces eggs, it is a female. It is biology, hate it or love it.
Thank you for the video. Now I am more informed and educated about subject and that will help me to not offend anyone in regards of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Thank you! This is helpful~ I counted myself as Polysexual. And I just wish you can do another video for more information? Really appreciate it~ have a good time ~

Why do you think that being intersex is rare, especially if these traits, more often than not, do not manifest clearly to the naked eye? Why? Do you think that being intersex is just having two gonads? My god. We don't know a lot about biological sex, even after centuries of studies, but the increasing evidence of this biological variety shows us that the concept of spectrum is not strange after all, and shouldn't be shut down as a 'minor anomaly'
@@asherayeras9200 Abstract Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%.
Michael my man I completely resonate with you but if we open up about this in medical institutions I’m getting canceled thanks being a evidence based science student
I am by no means an expert on Sex and Gender Studies, but I think there is something you are missing: Let's suppose we only look at the approx. 0.02% of Intersex people. Relatively speaking, this of course is a small number, but in absolute numbers we are talking about 1.6 million people* world wide which is not much, but by no means an insignificant amount. However, I can understand that one thinks differently on this, because in a way, relatively speaking, it arguably really is not to be fair. (*0.02 Percent of 8 billion people right now; approximations that I think are acceptable. Population from the worldometer and the world population review; the percentage of intersex people may be higher, but this is the lowest consensus that exists and anything higher is at least to some degree debatable, so lets go with that for now.) Now, the point you might have overlooked if I understood you correctly: As the video itself states, Sex is different from Gender. Also many/most Transgender persons are persons, who are (relatively) binary in their sex as we have seen, that almost everyone on earth is either male or female at birth - but exactly this is the gist of transgender: One does not feel in accordance to the sex one has biologically at the time of birth, or to put it in even more accurate words: One does not feel the match between themselves and the "stereotypical" male gender, which they should have due to their male sex, and thus they lean towards a more feminine gender or no gender at all - hence being "trans"-gender or maybe even agender. I do not really understand, what it feels like to be transgender, as I am of male Sex, and identify as a male Gender and so are you probably if I may assume, but maybe it helps to think of sexuality, too: What has been considered normal is a male loving a female; but there are many people - past and present - that felt otherwise. They do not have a "gene defect" or at least none that is currently known and understood in scientific literature, and yet they were diverging from the norm. It is easier to understand why an intersex person may feel a different sexuality, but non-intersex people can also have it as we can see in both famous and personal cases. Now, lets transpose that towards Gender: It is easy to understand, why Intersex People would not feel in accordance to their sex at birth, and it understandably gets harder to understand the same for non-intersex people. Yet, this is what "happens" to a number of people in the world. Lastly, maybe your perspective is skewed: I don't have statistics at hand right now, but I am sure that a majority of people in the LGBT Community are "there for their Sexuality and not for their Gender"*. So, there are not billions of people questioning their Gender, but still many millions. (*Firstly: I know, terrible wording; but I think everyone knows what I mean. Secondly: I know, there are quite many people who "are there for both and more") And to go deeper into the Intersex-being-a-spectrum-or-not topic of yours: Yes, in some ways, Sex is/has the smallest Spectrum as the numbers of Intersex people are smaller than the people of transgender or non heterosexual people, but it is a spectrum nonetheless. As already said: if you think, that this spectrum is insignificant, then okey! I don't think the same, but I can at least understand where you're coming from. But please keep in mind, that Sex and Gender (and Sexuality) are completely different things and that even Sex is, by definition, a spectrum, as some factors come into play more or less, that result in a gradual instead of a noncontinuous change of state. There is no "cups"-system where one has either 5 cups of testosterone or 10. And here lies the distinction between Sex and Fingercount: One can not have 5.1 fingers on one hand (at most, one can have 5 fingers and one finger that is about one tenth of a normal finger, but what is a normal finger and what length do you take for that? The length of the thumb, the pinky or the middle finger? What is the "correct length" of a sixth finger? Or is it even a finger or is it rather just a small nob sticking out of your hand? do you have muscle control over that little nob of flesh? you see the problem?), but one can have "5.1 cups" of testosterone instead of "5". Cancer, on the other hand, can be seen as a spectrum and the evolution of cancer actually is spectral: There are clearly defined features to differentiate a metastatic tumor from a nonmetastatic one, but apart from that it is all just a gradual growth of tumor size depending on location, generated mutations, effectiveness of the immune system, proliferation speed, speed of angiogenesis etc. There is one clear thing, that would negate biological Sex being a spectrum, but that is defined only by A the resolution of the universe and the measuring methods due to the plank length, plank time and Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and B the resolution of biological (or chemical or physical) systems in a sense that there are not 5.1 testosterone molecules but only 5 or 6. However, I think we both can agree, that these resolution effects are negligible. So, to conclude my comment: 1. I think you have missed the potential of there being more Intersexual people in the world as Asher has stated, but to be completely fair: We still don't know the real number. 2. I can understand, why you think that the amount of people being Intersex is "insignificant" or at least not that significant as it seems and as it is portrayed as. However, I do think differently on that; I do think that even the "rarer biological phenomenons" - like some people would maybe call it - are still highly significant, or otherwise, many rare diseases would also all be insignificant. 3. Sex is not Gender and both are, in turn, different from Sexuality. 4. All of that what I have talked about is a spectrum. Even if it is small, it nonetheless is. And last but very very very much not least: I actually think it is awesome that someone, who is skeptic* towards these topics, actually tries to understand it and watches some videos about it. And no matter whether you change your opinion or not: As long as you don't judge other people and are not a dick towards them - which I wholeheartedly do not believe that you do / are -, I am fine with it. Just be aware, that some people in the community react very sensitive to such "insensitive" comments of yours, but also keep in mind in what position they are: They do not want to be confronted with negativity or even hatred and just want to live their lives peacefully - some of them may overreact which is by all means not good, but understandable. And I think of you and your standpoint in a very similar way: not good in my opinion, but actually understandable in some key points. (*Skepticism meant in a good way! One needs to stay critical, especially in science, while keeping all eyes and ears open for other opinions, interpretations, facts etc.) Is there something that I have maybe missed or misunderstood? please tell me, I'd love to know
It is indeed a pseudoscience. I have yet to find an article that supports this wishy washy idea of gender and sex. In fact evidence points to the opposite. It's the same thing as saying that insulin doesn't push glucose into the cell because there are people with Diabetes who are insensitive to insulin. That doesn't change the fact that insulin functions to move glucose into cells. It's the same thing with gender. A person born with XX chromosomes is a female. When that baby grows up they will grow up to become and adult female Aka a woman. Now if this wasn't true, then there would be no correlation between a persons chromosomes and their gender. Furthermore, it would mean a person would not never be able to tell whether someone is a man or a woman. The same way one cannot tell what day of the week a stranger was born. But this is obviously not true. Approach any random person on the street, chances are you will be able to tell their gender. It isn't because we are all psychic but it is because sex and gender are two sides of the same coin. YES. I am happy to concede that there are some exceptions where this may not apply. however, this is not the rule and it should not be treated as the rule. This is the EXCEPTION. And people who fall under this exception need to be treated with respect and should be addressed the way that they would like because the rule does not apply to them. But it is ridiculous to act as if gender is this imaginary social construct that should be ignored when dealing with people on a day to day basis.
"preferred term is gay, not homosexual" Oh yeah? Let's change perfectly descriptive, value neutral scientific terminology because some people have a political correctness meltdown. I come to this channel to learn science, not to be seminared on correct thought. EDIT: Some folks pointed out that the point in the video is about what language to use when communicating with patients. I didn't get that impression on first watch, and I think it could have been made more clear in the video. But all that said, I think understood that way, the statement is correct. "The preferred" term, when communicating with patients is "gay," not "homosexual." But "homosexual" is the more technical and formal scientific term.
This is science.... treatment of patients includes referring to their sexuality correctly. Why do you care. Why would u even watch the video if you’re gonna get triggered by the content
@@spectrum8966 That makes sense. I wish the video made that clear. Putting a red "X" next to "homosexual" made me misunderstand the statement. But in the context of patient care and communication, I agree with you one hundred percent.
I had a problem at first but the edit cleared that right up 😂 I completely agree that saying homosexual is still the science way of going about it, but like you said saying homosexual is just a bit more science terminology than is really needed when talking to the person, I mean if you were asked would you say you’re heterosexual/homosexual or straight/gay. Saying gay is just more simple and more widely accepted in the community.
I love how this person can’t even explain what “gender identity” means? It’s just circular. How can I, for example, determine my gender identity? From this video I can say- with complete sincerity- I have NO idea what is being communicated by the term. So how can I determine my gender identity? Is anyone able to answer that UNBELIEVABLY basic question? Or is that most simplistic of questions unanswerable?
It’s because it’s not a real thing. It’s a cult belief system that is being pushed across all institutions. They can’t define it because it’s baseless. Unfortunately, they teach it as if it’s of scientific truth in medical schools (heavily emphasized at the medical school that I attend) and students are being indoctrinated. The movement stems from perverted physicians like John Money where they coined the term ‘gender’. We really should stop entertaining their false ideologies and stop using ‘gender’, ‘gender identity’, ‘cis-‘, ‘trans-‘, etc., because by changing language, they are changing the way people think (but if you really think about it, people are taught to not think intellectually but passively).
joy of knowledge If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction.

Bisexual and Pansexual are NOT the same Bisexual means you like both Genders Pansexual means you’re attracted to anyone no matter their gender,gender identity,sexual orientation everything I’m Pansexual
bisexual can also mean what pansexual means, the definition is subjective and means different things to different people. The only difference I'd say there is with pansexual is that if someone identifies as pan you know they are specifically saying they are attracted to anyone regardless of gender, but if someone is bi they might not think that. so basically, there's no point in saying they are different bc sometimes they are the same and I also don't think there's any point in trying to strictly define bisexual
“So GOD created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (genesis 1:27) "But from the beginning of the creation, GOD ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what GOD has joined together, let not man separate.” (mark 10:6-9) “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your GOD." (deuteronomy 22:5)
@@biomechanicalintegration6137 I wouldn't say it like that. Pansexuality is just attraction regardless of gender, so you just don't care about a persons gender, and bisexuality is attraction to multiple genders. The main difference is that bi people can have a gender preference. I call myself bisexual, since many people don't know what pansexuality is, but i also fit the definition of pansexual.
Reading most comments, I think there is a lot of talking past each other. Let me try to clear a few things up. When people defend the traditional gender=sex view, I don't think people are disputing the reality of the feelings or beliefs of the individual who feels or believes to be a certain gender. What they are disputing is whether those feelings and beliefs represent reality correctly. Psychiatry and psychopathology are full of examples of feelings and beliefs that are delusional. It is simply an empirical question whether certain gender-related self-identifications are like that or not. Here, most people on the left interject, "but there is no reality in gender to represent other than your own beliefs and feelings." I am not sure about that, in part because that renders the content of gender identification empty. Because on that view, I am a man if I believe that I am a man. But what is that thing that I believe to be, if there is nothing to it other than the belief? If that's too abstract, consider this: Suppose I say, "I am a waskjdaa if I believe I am a waskjdaa." Here, it is fair to ask, "What is a waskjdaa?" If my response to that question is, "Waskjdaa is just something I believe to be", then you would understandably be confused. Likewise, without being anchored into something external, objective or at least inter-subjective, gender terms are meaningless because meaning can't be purely subjective. Meaning is an emergent feature of communication; when something can't be communicated in principle, it by definition is devoid of meaning. If all there is to being a man, woman, or anything in between is believing to be one, then "man", "woman", etc are empty terms. Maybe they are, or at least they should be empty terms. In fact, I can understand a radical political stance where your goal is to abolish gender terms by uncovering them to be empty. But you can't just claim that the perspective presented in this video is the scientific truth by definition, and everyone who disagrees with it should just go read a book. Even Trans scholars like Bettcher don't claim that it is simply a matter of definition. That's why, although I am skeptical of both sides in this debate, I can wrap my mind around the revolutionary leftist who says gender is meaningless and the conservative who says being a gender is at least in part tied to biological and behavioral factors associated with biological sex.
The people in the middle who claim, " gender is just what you feel/believe to be," like the author of this video, those, I don't understand. And I have a suspicion that there is nothing to be understood, because theirs is an incoherent position.
@A.J. 232737 I am not saying thoughts, beliefs and feelings can't have meaning or be communicated. I am saying, for thoughts, beliefs or feelings to mean anything, they need to be about something. "I believe I am a man" isn't about anything if "man" is a synonym for "Someone who believes to be a man." Substitution gives the circular "I believe that I am someone who believes to be a man." So, we have a dilemma: we either embrace the circularity and say that gender terms are meaningless, and quit making a fuss about misidentification, or we admit that there is external content to gender terms, like certain biological and behavioral characteristics associated with sex. There is no other option I can see. Perhaps you disagree. Let me know.

I believe it’s because it’s against the Bible. However, that’s no reason to be unkind and homophobic. “Christians” forget is that the Bible also says to love everyone. It’s sad to see that homophobia is a thing.
I’m gay myself and saying homosexual is not wrong per say as it is the correct terminology scientifically and a lot of people don’t have a problem with it, but it mostly just comes down to just being easier to say and wanting to feel normal. Having to say homosexual is just more wordy than it needs to be. Since you don’t know I’m guessing you are straight (forgive me if I am wrong) and if you think about it for yourself saying you are straight just seems a bit more normal than saying you’re heterosexual, and for us just saying gay makes it feel just a little more normal and less different. Also gay has sort of become more of a blanket statement in the community to say that you are different than people who are straight.

Advice for young men. Your energetic and enthusiastic twenties are incredibly valuable. They are a fantastic springboard which will only happen once and they don't last a long time so they should be used and lived wisely. Concentrate on your education and your career. Adopt a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a good diet. Get involved in interesting and possibly demanding pursuits and experiences. Learn about personal finance. Develop friendships with like-minded people. Then when you reach your thirties and for all the years beyond, you can really enjoy the long-term benefits of what you've achieved and established in your twenties. You will become a person with whom other interesting and attractive people will want to engage and develop relationships. Let others concern themselves with orientation, identity and pronouns.
Thank you, we have become more concerned on how we feel that we have invented new ways to feel special instead of accepting our discomfort and taking responsibility of our lives. I live in Africa and trust me nobody has such struggles.
@@alexanderthegreat6682 Your reply is appreciated. I remember years ago being an undergraduate student at university at the age of 29 and I got to know several fellahs in their early to mid 20s who were doing PhDs. Obviously not everybody can do PhDs but it occured to me how in their own way they were taking their precious energetic youth by the scruff of its neck and wringing as much out of it as possible and by the end of their 20s and of course for many years beyond that, their life options could be so exciting and expansive. Just think about the level of maturity and importantly, the development of a solid personal identity inherent in such a process.
without GOD, love is absent, and because of this any sexual, romantic attraction towards the same gender is actually lust. and since anyone who chooses to be partners with the same gender, it goes against GOD's design for mankind, and therefore, GOD isn't the center of that love, meaning that that love is not love at all, it's lust. and lust is adultery, which is of course a sin. and all sin leads to death. but the LORD can save you. JESUS died for us, sinners, so that through HIM alone, we may have everlasting life and die to sin and live in righteousness. we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of GOD, and a result from being born again is the HOLY SPIRIT WHO will now live and dwell inside of us and one of the gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT is self control, meaning, that attraction no longer is something you blindly and easily fall into, but you now are guided and protected by GOD. GOD bless you!
I wish that people would realise the difference between biology as a hard/physical science, and gender identity as being a social science. The two are not the same and it is a mistake to confuse them. It seems like this video is confusing them also, without hard research to back up their findings.
There is much debate over sexual orientation. Some people believe that there is no real difference between the ways that people of different sexual orientations interact with each other. Others believe that there is a great difference between sexual orientation and personal preference. Finally, there are those who believe that there is no real difference between sexual orientation and physical preference. All of these beliefs are without any factual basis. The belief that there is no real difference between sexual orientation and personal preference is based on what people believe about the difference between these two groups. People who believe that there is no real difference between sexual orientation and personal preference believe that people who identify as gay or gay are not really sexual orientation. They believe that people who identify as straight are really sexual orientation.

The comment section made me glad to stop supporting LGB community. I can't believe people really think they can not be a boy or a girl, this is unbelievable . Gays, lesbians and bi's i understand but this stuff is like from the twilight zone !
Exactly. Why is there now another word called cisgender when it just means heterosexual which is what the majority of people are anyway! I shall just call everyone 'it' in future to save any embarrassment.
Dayum, I was searching for a video explaining kidney diseases, but I'm glad that osmosis did a video about gender identity and sexual orientation, good job guys from a future doctor.
Well, Osmosis has many videos talking about kidney diseases if that's what you want, but sexuality is also a branch from medicine (check out something from Masters & Johnson)

I am wondering why the community thinks we need to know their sexual orientation? We don't care. We except you as you are... heterosexual, pansexual, bisexual, and all the other pronouns. I have had girlfriends 50 years ago who were bisexual. And the only reason I knew is they came into me. Still friends. My aunt 35 years before I was born was bisexual. Everyone knew, her community knew, her boss & coworkers knew, her friends & family knew. All I remember about her growing up is that she knew how to fix automobiles, put a roof on her house, built a swimming pool, ect. And she had a partner who was in a domestic violence situation. Her and her son came to live with my aunt. They loved each other. When she passed she gave her the house. Even before the Democrats started shoving this sexual orientation down our throats my son's not had lesbians & gays in their large friends group. They always came over for parties. So again I don't see the issues. And I don't like being forced to call someone by their selected pronoun. Pronouns are ever evolving. It's like being a pathological liar just to get attention. I don't care about your sexual orientation, the same way I don't care about what religion or your skin color but if you shove it down my throat I do not like you. I don't shove it down people's throat about me being fat and you have to except that or else I am going to shove it down your throat. Maybe I will have some made up flag and laws just for us....the term "all people are equal under the law" means just that. But it's when you advocate for certain groups then equality gets screwed and then their is no equality. That's going on now. That's where people will start to hate you. Not because if sexual orientation but because you are receiving special compensation that everyone else does not get.
@@susan9188 that's the point actually. Still you will be surprised to know some people totally belittle or shame others who don't fit in the box. That's why people are trying to make it all more accessible and to provide informations to all the others who gets upset to see one person loving another person of the same sex.
People constantly say that gender is unrelated to sex. Then in their next sentence they say that their gender doesn’t “match their sex assigned at birth.” So which is it?
Yeah the genetic and biological component is incorrect just because someone has a chroma zone that may not have all the active genes doesn’t mean that they are intersex…. Gene expression does not determine sex.. and there is a spectrum of characteristic but not of the sex. Also intersex would be someone that has two actual sexes which is extremely rare would require Add in or complete deletions or expression of both female and male sex genes simultaneously to develop both organs.. which doesn’t happen for the most part intersex is generally there is sexual organs that are ambiguous within the genitalia.. usually between the two types of Genitalia. this is a fallacy and Made up science we would call this a pseudoscience or a faux science.. This doesn’t mean that there is some other kind of dimorphic expression or mimicry as we find an evolution… but many of these people are artificially taking drugs so they can espouse different identities that are not biologically based in order to tilt the scales more in favor of the desired sex or gender… this is mimicry it is not transgenderism… or any of the things that they’re talking about i’ll say that there is nothing wrong with mimicry or sexual mimicry it does not make someone a bad person for mimicking another gender.. But they have completely got this wrong..
So many "youtube college graduates" in the comments that act like they figured it out when they are not in healthcare, are not counselors, not doctors, and just "have figured it out". I actually work in healthcare and medicine and I promise you its not so simple as to say "you just have too much time on your hands". Also its important to recognize that the brain IS biology as well and if the brain is the source of our sense of self, then who is to say it's "wrong" or "just a feeling". EVERYTHING is a feeling. Trauma, ptsd, abuse....those are all based on FEELINGS that manifest as real issues. Feelings are valid and real. Also I totally understand that it is hard for someone who is not trans or lgbq to understand the concept. I am white and I will never understand the feeling of being asian or black. But ask yourself this, even if you questioned your sexuality and gender....you still know what it is right? So if you know your sexuality and gender, then so does everyone else. If you are a man and attracted to a woman, even if you have a period where you ask...maybe I like men, you can say with certainty now that you are not. I can do everything I can and you will still like women. So if that is true, it holds true for everyone else. If someone feels and identify as male or female regardless of their sex at birth, then it is just as valid. If you have ever seen the intense smile on a transgender persons face when they start their transition and compare it to how they didnt smile at all before.......you would understand how real it actually is. No one would put themselves through the struggles and medical issues of being trans or lgbq for no reason and definitely not out of fear. Trust that doctors and scientists understand this better than the general population.
I don't think people are disputing that feelings or beliefs themselves are real. What they are disputing is whether they represent reality. As someone who works in healthcare, you would acknowledge that, some feelings and beliefs are delusional states. It is an empirical question whether certain gender-related self-identifications are like that or not. Here, most people interject, "but there is no reality in gender to represent other than your own beliefs and feelings."

I 100% support the LGBTQ community. I view humans as humans myself. I acknowledge it's real and no person is the same. Everyone should be what they want. But i think it's better to say there are 2 basic true biological genders and from those 2 basic biological genders there are combinations in between these 2 genders but should not be called a gender on it's own ( with all respect ). Few examples .. Non-binair could be called genderless instead of a gender. Trans person is a man that became a woman or a woman that became a man, It's not a gender by itself. Pangender liking people instead of a gender is not a gender by itself but a preference like bieng gay or bi. All these should be a called a titel or category instead of gender.
Sad to see the supposedly educated people in the comments making the least educated responses to this video. I thought you guys were all into medicine and the intricacies of human health? Now you're all whining when a video challenges your preconceived beliefs.

This video contains dreadful science. Just because some people are born without limbs, we don't say human limb number is on a spectrum. Intersex is a tiny percentage of the population. Don't conflate that with gender dysphoria. If i hadn't gone to medical school, this video might've been persuasive, which is perhaps the worrying part.
As a current medical student, I really want to scream every day at the indoctrination that they shove down our throats… ‘Gender and sex are different. Yet someone can become any sex they choose, etc.’

What i have trouble understanding is when socially consteucted gender identity can override biological sex and make sexual biological and physiological alterations against what their body is doing internally and externally. In this way sex and gender are the same or directly.l8nled but we have been told for years that gender has nothing tondo with sex.
@@nellymoo635 some of us moved on from basic biology to advanced biology. i'm sorry you never figured that out. also, a quick Google search can help you out. hope this helps
So people are technical born as male or female with genetic exceptions which can make them feel or relate to one or the other. Not that messy. If they can copulate with a woman and produce offspring, they are male. Saying you feel like your female is an exception and doesn't change what you biologically are. Hence sex is actually more important and less messy than gender, which has absolutely no parameters.
Hello, first of all, thank you for your effort for this informative video. I was going to talk to you briefly. I understand the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity, but some sources also keep sexual identity separate from them. According to one source, gender identity is the biological identity of individuals at birth, while sexual identity is how a person feels, male or female. But on the other hand, many sources define the two as the opposite. It is written on an article that gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender; not the gender assigned at birth. What do you think? Thanks!
@@maryeverett6314 Can you google it, or do you *need* me to explain it? I’m terrible at explaining stuff in a way that makes sense, so if you want me to explain, please be aware that it likely will be difficult to make any sense of.
This is the crap they are trying to teach in elementary school now . No wonder Kidd’s are just plain screwed up now . I’m a gay man I grew up in the 80s thank god I had a real education.
@@shazam_daghost3427 Kinda late, but I think he ment that this should not be taught to elementary kids because their mind cannot understand the subject, and it might affect their development. The government should stick to the regular math, history, science, which will not affect a child's sexual orientation or gender identity. I guess you can say it's not appropriate to teach to younger people, like deaths in history because that can affect their development.
How does sex pertain to biological difference, yet sexual orientation describes gender attraction? You've described heterosexual, homosexual etc as attractions in relation to GENDER yet in none of those words is GENDER contained, but instead SEX is, and if you were to look up the meanings of those words they are described as attraction based on SEX not GENDER. Also Bi, as in BI-SEXUAL means 2 and only 2, not 2 or more. With that being said, are people who are transgender and what have you, trying to change the meaning of a lot of words and terms, or did they not know what they meant to begin with?
Im sorry, but misgendering someone is a first world problem... I have a higher voice because of a vocal cord injury, I get called "Ma'am" or "Miss" over the phone all the time. So I identify as a woman, no, absolutely not. Do i get offended or upset by their assumption based on my voice, no. Even if i say my name which happens to be a masculine name over the phone and they still sometimes say ma'am, no. Why, because there are a million things worse than getting upset over someone misgendering you. Especially if they misgender you based on a decision you made. The world 100% doest care about others opinions, and i guarantee the more its shoved down someones throat, the more they will misgender you. Its called walking away, not speaking to that person again, asking to speak to someone else, etc... I honesty think people take this way out of preposition, those who feel this way and those who dont. If everyone just stopped, sat down and realized it doesn't really truly matter to anybody but yourself what your gender identity is, i doubt there would be this much push back. Its when its shoved down peoples throats 24/7 that it gets old, its not a competition. All these genders are a new concept and not a world wide belief, the best way to get a movement going is to stay in the shadows until it is large enough to take hold, but as it stands, more than likely over half of the United States and a majority of the population of the world do not believe in this ideology. So while this video is informative, it merely shows the first world struggling of this population, that they have the freedoms to openly express this and are upset that someone called them the wrong name but a majority of the world will never see even a percent of the freedom they see on a daily basis being able to walk around as a free, transgender, gay, bisexual, etc...
I paid for osmosis to learn science if i want to educate myself on what's correct what's not I'll go find some where else plz keep it scientific dont get me wrong im not with nor against im from Africa i have African problems one of them is science plz keep it scientific thanks
hamza asri even though this might not be scientific, it is important for future doctors on this channel to cultivate knowledge on an increasingly prevalent topic, and how to respectfully treat patients like this. :) i would say it’s definitely important bc it has helped me identify with how to treat patients i encounter like this in future so as to improve patient care satisfaction and build even better rapport
@@catn9608 I don't know maybe I'm just selfish I practice in Morocco we don't have time for this...(I've never experienced it so I don't know how to describe it)
hamza asri hmm if im not mistaken morocco is a muslim country? And in islam they dont allow lgbtqs so maybe people there are more in the closet about their sexuality and orientation so u might not encounter a situation where a patient might be offended by the binary code. But in developed nations like australia, us, uk, a country where im at, patients have more autonomy so we have to respect that and thats why knowledge on this is important and it definitely taught me something
Having a different gender identity compared to your sex is just an error. Father means male aprent and mother means female mother ! There is nothing more to it, these are not roles , these are names we give to parents with a specific sex. The roles people gave were according to sex, and not gender. For example women worked more cuz they have more physical endurance ! Women stayed more at home cuz they wanted to and not because they were forced ! It was a more economical thing , back then someone had to do the house jobs and it was not easy, while the guys had to work the harder jobs cuz they could work more to earn more. Also, male and female refers to sex only and the very words were invented to describe the natural sex of the person. Rest is in our heads .
I understand the empathy of giving people the freedom to express their gender identity , sex etc.. I might be wrong here but to be honest, I think the reason people come up with so many gender identities, sexes , who they are attracted to or sometimes a lack of any identification is simply TOO MUCH TIME to think about these things . You don’t see an African mother of 10 who walk miles everyday to bring water to here children thinking if she is bi , asexual or non-binary etc.. or maybe she does , I could be wrong . But from my personal experience, having too much time and having the privilege of not thinking where your tap water comes from , gives me the time to think of some crazy shit . Hell today I almost diagnosed myself with Bipolar because I was bored . My point is instead of thinking too deeply or analyzing who you are attracted to or which gender you feel like today , maybe try to find a purpose in your life . Something that makes you think of nothing else . A passion that you can dedicate your life to and be free of your quest for people’s validation .
Anudeep S No and you know why maybe because her life depended on getting married to a man and having children . But the gist of this is that when you’re life is on the line , you don’t think about these things . Which begs the question , are these feelings/desires REAL or are they product of my mind being bored or needing validation from other people ? I know what it feels like to be special because you’re different in a way from people around you . And sometimes people want to create this feeling anyway they can , even if it’s subconscious
The word is not gay, it's homosexual. And what is with that term. It a specific term with a specific meaning. The word gay already existed in the English language with a different meaning.
You understand that it is just slang that later turned into vocab? Words change and words can have synonyms. You wouldnt say that calling a heterosexual person straight is bad because straight is already used as another word, would you? What about asexual being ace, which is also a word that has a different meaning, like in a game of cards? What about Pansexual being shortened to pan, which also is a kitchen utensil?
I'm still confused. What exactly is a "sense of gender?" Is it related to personality or behaviour? I'd like to think being a woman has nothing to do with gender stereotypes or socialisation imposed by society.
It is a belief, almost like a religious belief. Gender identity ideologues like this person believe that everyone has a 'deep innate sense of one's gender' unrelated to their biological sex
This video is so important (and a quick scroll through the answers tells me that's is much needed too !). I work with transgender patients a lot and I wish I saw this earlier. Thank Osmosis for this lesson. It's such an interesting topic mixing biology, sociology and psychology.
knowing the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
Just because biological sex isn't as simple as genitalia or even chromosomes doesn't mean it's a spectrum. Sex is binary. Males are those whose bodies developed primarily toward the purpose of producing small gametes (sperm) and females are those whose bodies developed primarily toward the purpose of large gametes (ova). There is no third pathway of development, and certainly no third gamete. Even intersex people develop largely toward one reproductive function or the other. The problem with "gender identity" as "a person's own sense of their gender", is that no one can actually know what it is they're sensing. We've no basis for that comparison. We've all only been just the one gender, so we'd have no way of knowing the difference between "feeling like" a man vs. "feeling like" a woman, or indeed if there is such a difference at all. Also, to establish that gender itself is different from sex, you'll need to give some sort of objective definition for "gender". And so far no one's been able to do that, including the so-called "gender experts" we're supposed to be deferring to here. Likewise, in order to establish that anyone is referring to someone else with the wrong pronoun ("misgendering"), you will need to provide objective definitions for terms like "man" and "woman". Since those who subscribe to your worldview consistently fail to do this, it follows that you can't ever actually be correct or incorrect in using these terms. Ironically, it's only those of us who *reject* modern gender theory, that could accuse others of misgendering us in a coherent way.
So what if someone's sexual expression is in conflict with their gender expression? This post is at the whim of intrinsic belief and not qualitative or quantitative science and that's upsetting. Who's funding you?
When something that doesn't hurt or harm anyone makes a patient feel better, why shouldn't it be done? I think that is basic decency. In the end we aren't there to act on our subjective opinions. They don't matter and I don't think anybody really cares. We are there to help the patients and if being called something or other makes them feel well and prevents a teenager from killing themselves, then I am going to note it down and act accordingly. This video didn't say you should telepathically deduce your patients wishes, just to be open to the possibility and note it down. It's not like groups of humans will cease to exist just because people try to ignore them. It is good information to have in your back pocket. It is somewhat unlikely that most docters will really need this information, because while some may pretend differently the vast majority of people are quite happy with their sex, but knowledge and a guideline is always good to have.
@@XX-dz5kc I wholeheartedly agree with your statements and the points made in this video will have practical applications in a working environment. That is not where my criticism lies. It lies in the inference that these ideas are unobjectifiable facts as opposed to subjective opinions held by the individual. This seems like a fairly innocuous thing to complain about but when there is a blatant legislative push to make these subjective terms mandatory we are entering a more insidious territory. I believe basic decency will prevail, I don't believe it should be achieved through legislative means.
@@GrandmasterFerg Facts have little to do with freedom of speech. That's why people can get away with sprouting an objectively false rhetoric. I agree that curbing freedom of expression would set a dangerous precedent, but I really don't think it being presented as fact or opinion changes much in that regard. As for it being fact or fiction. I definitely won't presume to know what a person thinks about themselves. I can determine who I am, but I can't look into another person's head and determine if they are somehow fooling themselves. That is their prerogative and if they aren't hurting somebody and are content with the way they see themselves, I am not going to deny their feelings, just because I don't have those feelings myself. That would be quite narrow-minded. And nobody can deny that there are rare cases, when even medicine is at it's whits end. Is a person with a XY karyotype, who can't respond to testosterone and often looks like am uncommonly beautiful woman, male or female? I don't know. That is for the person to decide. And if other people, who look like their karyotype don't feel well, it isn't really my business to determine if it is a fact or an opinion either, because I am not living though it and don't really have a point of reference. People are different, that is a fact of life.
@@XX-dz5kc It's the insistence that certain terms must be used, biological paradigms must be shifted under the guise of progress through legislative means wherein the issue lies with me, I'm aware facts have little to do with freedom of speech but when ideas are presented as unobjectiable facts they're given far more credence than opinion, and from there agendas can be easily forced. I'm only replying to the first paragraph because it was the only point I was contesting.
"Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or dougamous in nature; that we must have "two" sides or that we MUST be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don't assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross ALL sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone's sexuality-including your own." - The Bisexual Manifesto, 1990

Clearly BS
Gender Identity - ‘a persons own sense of their gender’
How is that clear? It makes no sense to non-trans people
I’m seeing a lot of people complain this isn’t medical, well yes it isn’t necessarily about science, it’s about patient treatment which is still the largest portion of the medical field. If you don’t learn how to treat a patient properly by making them feel comfortable and respected then you are just as bad a doctor as one that doesn’t know any of the actual medical science knowledge. Most people are here to learn about something, probably science, but just because a video comes out about a topic that is slightly different doesn’t mean you should immediately hate on it. You are still here for some type of education so why does the topic of this one immediately become bad just because it’s not about science or a topic you don’t want to learn about. If you didn’t want to learn about it in the first place, why did you click on the video. And Osmosis if you see this comment, I personally love this video and thank you so much for educating people on this topic, it is so important nowadays, even if it does get a lot of hate from some people who are closed-minded.
It's medical. The area of medicine is called psychiatry
@@slightlygruff Also Endocrine, genetics and metabolic medicine cover these topics a lot.
Konstantin, you will be treating LGBT patients on every specialty. Do your job professionally and learn the correct terms. It’s not that hard.
It's about a degradation of society in the form of a nuclear family. When there is NOT both a mother and a father doing their individual parts together as parents, the chances of their children forming a proper understanding of the roles of both men and women in society and families decreases significantly. When this happens you have people who believe it's okay to have sex outside of marriage, which means they "explore" their sexuality and eventually come to the many "identities" and "orientations" that we see today. It's pure INSANITY to believe that there are more genders than male and female. There simply is not. We are not amphibians, reptiles, or any other form of animal.
Its sad but simple, its just mass hysteria
From a transwoman working in health care: thank you so much for covering this, I think it was an excellent overview and am already sharing it with people to explain what being trans means 🧡

My professor strictly told me to go through this topic so that I don't in future harm someone unintentionally.
This topic was much needed for awareness for medicos.
All those who are confused that why this topic is important should know that one has to be careful while writing prescription, taking history, sexual history, and being compassionate overall. We are the last people from whom discrimination is expected. We have to be extra careful.
This. The point of this video is to inform medics about proper practise. It doesn't matter if you are offended that this video is too "woke" or don't believe that people can be anything other than what they are born as. It's about respecting your patient and making them comfortable so they can talk freely, so you, as a clinician, can take the best course of action.

thanks for the explanation, I have a friend who was born female but recently told me that he prefers to be referred to as a male and be called with his male name (sadly unofficial), but on top of that he also told me that he is Bi and is attracted to both males and females, so I was a little confused, this video cleared things for me, thank you
Glad it helped! ❤️
Well, your friend cannot be referred to as a male because she is a female and nothing will ever change that. Being a female and not confirming to gender expectations is fine. You cannot change your sex but are not restricted by it

Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?
Can we talk about gender dysphoria as a genuine, diagnosable mental illness (found in the DSM) and whether these steps work to treat it or whether they work to enable it?
I know this is a controversial subject, but healthcare ethics really interest me.
I would love to see a video on that topic :D
yeah, your not gonna find that in today's climate.
Well, it's usually included in the DSM to protect the patient's rights to seek medical care for it and get insurance for it. And actually it used to be called a "disorder," but changing the language to "dysphoria" is an act of reducing negativity around it.
Thats the thing it can be a disorder or dysphoria, truth is kids,teenagers and young adults are being taught its ok to be that way when in fact it isn't. It's like trying to connect to opposite sides of a magnet together
Anything, regardless if a disorder or not, should be addressed and aided (if needed) in case it creates a frustrating atmosphere that makes life harder for everyone. Period.

man, I’ve been waiting for a video like this. especially regarding the healthcare aspect- as somebody who is pursuing the medical field this is genuinely so important
the fact you made intersex people known is not something people tend to mention, just... very very good video
@Josh the Art Critic Are you sure? I literally know intersex people who use the term to describe themselves in present day-- what's the alternative?
@Josh the Art Critic In all honesty, it's not my place to know or want to find out. That's their own information about their bodies to divulge to whoever they see fit.
I absolutely understand that there are specific ways to represent the certain specifics of being intersex, but the point is that intersex is the umbrella term for people who do not have genitalia that corresponds to the standard definitions of the male and female sex. That's how I use it here, and if people want to introduce themselves in terms of more specificity, they can absolutely do it.
Both general and specific terms are important, I don't think that one is outdated while the other isn't; it simply is that one is more specific than the other.
It's like... take the condition of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Different patients with IBS will have different subsets of the same condition (IBS-D, IBS-C and IBS-M), but you can still say the person has IBS; it's just not as specific.

INCLUSION FOR THE WIN BABYYY
So the premise from the first 90 seconds is XX chromosomally, biologically female and XY male, but there are rare mutations/deviations/exceptions where there may be a gene that doesn't align with presentation and that these may be intersex.
So now we've gone from normal, more than 99.9% male/female with a rare, less than 0.1% intersex grouping to the claim that there is a spectrum. There clearly is a missing explanation here or the claim of a spectrum is false. We've got XY/XX for greater than 99.9% and than a variety of inconsistencies labeled as intersex. You could claim a spectrum for those inconsistencies, but the evidence of a spectrum from XY to XX. Take a 12 inch ruler. The spectrum would look like the first 5.995 inches on the left are male, the 5.995 inches on the right are female and the middle 0.01 inches are intersex.
From there if you wanted to focus on that 0.01 inches you could put classifications such as XX chromosome with increased testosterone and XY chromosome with increased estrogen and a variety of other abnormalities. Labeling the entire ruler a spectrum seems like a misrepresentation of the underlying facts. If you want to label the middle 0.01 inches a spectrum, that seems more appropriate.
If the middle 0.01 inches that represents intersex associated abnormalities is a spectrum, then we could look at every abnormality from a perfectly healthy human as a spectrum from finger count to cancer.
I will watch a few more videos to see if there is any actual science behind using the term spectrum for the 11.99 inches on the ruler or conclude that this is a false pseudoscience without any basis in an objective, scientifically provable reality and instead an opinion based on subjective feelings in practice.
This world is lost we need to find our way back to normalness this isn't normal. You shouldn't need a 6 minute video to describe this.
Uh huh! Stupid world
Transgenderism remains a wholly incoherent worldview. One in which people confuse gender itself with gender roles and norms (or appeal to circular reasoning). One in which they insist others are incorrect in using terms like "man" or "woman" while being unable to provide objective, workable definitions for these terms themselves. And one in which they often equate disagreement with hate, which is not only illogical but dangerous.
So true. I'm a gay person and I don't care about someone's feelings, I only want rationality. My "community" doesn't accept me. I have been called boot licker of straight whities.
tbf your worldview would be considered incoherent by your standards as well. in reality, every aspect of human society is incoherent and subjective. because of this, it’s often suggested that we go about setting subjective norms through a utilitarian type analysis with the focus of reducing human harm.
@@adnwzhre "tbf your worldview would be considered incoherent by your standards as well."
Not at all. I can give workable definitions for terms like "gender", "man" and "woman" whereas those who subscribe to transgenderism never can.
"it’s often suggested that we go about setting subjective norms through a utilitarian type analysis with the focus of reducing human harm."
Except that, as I said, your worldview lends itself to equating disagreement with hate which is dangerous.

Biological sex exists on a spectrum? I’m sorry but this displays just a fundamental ignorance about what a spectrum is. And what sex is… at least the common biological usage. To say a variable exists on a spectrum is to say sex is a continuous variable that can be represented on a parameterized axis.
What is on the x axis here? What variable(s) shift sex one way or the other? Are male and female points on this spectrum? If so… what’s another one? What’s, say, directly to the right of “male”?
If these questions can’t be answered… sex isn’t a spectrum.
Heterosexual= correct
Bisexual = correct
Pansexual = correct
Asexual = correct
Homosexual = Noooo, we must use the modern word that has long meant happy “gay”.
You understand that it is just slang that later turned into vocab? Words change and words can have synonyms. You wouldnt say that calling a heterosexual person straight is bad because straight is already used as another word, would you? What about asexual being ace, which is also a word that has a different meaning, like in a game of cards? What about Pansexual being shortened to pan, which also is a kitchen utensil? Both words are correct and nobody is saying that calling someone homosexual is bad and people should instead say gay, they both can be used interchangably and you just made this up to be mad about.
@@_tringle That is interesting argument to counter my point on this.
However the presumption is in regarding to other adoptions of vocabulary are not entirely accurate and would have been better left as a strait question. I am not keen on the word strait for heterosexual, but you are right to a degree that it bugs me less for reasons i could explain in depth, but in short, what bothers me is not a word being used as an adverb to describe a phenomenon or trend rather, the verb being outright stolen and reassign to a different meaning, the word "gay" is almost never used synonymously with happy because of its over use synonymously with homosexual, where as no one has a bother using "straight" or "bent" in conjunction with many unrelated sentences.
Again you are confusing my upset with words being stolen and reassigned [bastardised] and with homonyms and abbreviations.
I do also find myself wondering if you watched the video and if so if you have your own biases as if you click to 2.50 in the video you will see where it has a red cross next to homosexual underneath the green tick next to gay not but 4 seconds after where the narrator says "the proffered term is gay not homosexual", yes while the adjective "proffered" would indicate that both are still not entirely wrong, the green tick next to Gay followed by the red x' for homosexual would indicate otherwise.
Thank you all the same for the conversation.
@jonathanthemad7071 Good poent that the barstardization of the word gay might have been "ruined" because now it you say it, there is no other meaning compares to other slang terms, as it was fully accepted. Im not sure why homosexual is deemed bad as a word, but maybe it is because the bad stigma of it being considered as a mental illness, so it is not used as much compared to the other words. Glad we came to a civil conclusion.
So, right now I was having trouble identifying my gender identity, this video helped me a lot, so thank you

joy knowledge If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction.

Biological sex is either male or female.
Contrary to what is commonly believed, sex is defined not by chromosomes or our genitals or hormonal profiles, but by gametes, which are mature reproductive cells.
There are only two types of gametes: small ones called sperm that are produced by males, and large ones called eggs that are produced by females.
There are no intermediate types of gametes between egg and sperm cells. Sex is therefore binary. It is not a spectrum.
Similar to sex, gender - both with regard to identity and expression - is biological. It is not a social construct, nor is it divorced from anatomy or sexual orientation. Despite what contemporary scholars may have you believe, all of these things are very much linked. Biology, not society, dictates whether we are gender-typical or atypical, the extent to which we identify as the sex we were born as, and the partners we are sexually attracted to.
Anyone who brings in the phenomenon of 'intersex' to supposedly demonstrate that sex is non-binary has not fully understood it either. Intersex people are people born with a mix of what is masculine and feminine. But even intersex people can still be defined as male or female by checking which of his or her two genitals are active. If it produces sperm, it is a male. If she produces eggs, it is a female.
It is biology, hate it or love it.
Xxy, Xyy, Xy, XX mosaic chromosomes......
XX, X, XXX....
Why is it okay to use heterosexual, but it's not okay to use homosexual. As a homosexual, I find that offensive and homophobic.
Thank you for the video. Now I am more informed and educated about subject and that will help me to not offend anyone in regards of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Thank you! This is helpful~ I counted myself as Polysexual. And I just wish you can do another video for more information? Really appreciate it~ have a good time ~
So the premise from the first 90 seconds is XX chromosomally, biologically female and XY male, but there are rare mutations/deviations/exceptions where there may be a gene that doesn't align with presentation and that these may be intersex.
So now we've gone from normal, more than 99.9% male/female with a rare, less than 0.1% intersex grouping to the claim that there is a spectrum. There clearly is a missing explanation here or the claim of a spectrum is false. We've got XY/XX for greater than 99.9% and than a variety of inconsistencies labeled as intersex. You could claim a spectrum for those inconsistencies, but the evidence of a spectrum from XY to XX. Take a 12 inch ruler. The spectrum would look like the first 5.995 inches on the left are male, the 5.995 inches on the right are female and the middle 0.01 inches are intersex.
From there if you wanted to focus on that 0.01 inches you could put classifications such as XX chromosome with increased testosterone and XY chromosome with increased estrogen and a variety of other abnormalities. Labeling the entire ruler a spectrum seems like a misrepresentation of the underlying facts. If you want to label the middle 0.01 inches a spectrum, that seems more appropriate.
If the middle 0.01 inches that represents intersex associated abnormalities is a spectrum, then we could look at every abnormality from a perfectly healthy human as a spectrum from finger count to cancer.
I will watch a few more videos to see if there is any actual science behind using the term spectrum for the 11.99 inches on the ruler or conclude that this is a false pseudoscience without any basis in an objective, scientifically provable reality and instead an opinion based on subjective feelings in practice.
Why do you think that being intersex is rare, especially if these traits, more often than not, do not manifest clearly to the naked eye?
Why? Do you think that being intersex is just having two gonads? My god.
We don't know a lot about biological sex, even after centuries of studies, but the increasing evidence of this biological variety shows us that the concept of spectrum is not strange after all, and shouldn't be shut down as a 'minor anomaly'
@@asherayeras9200 Abstract
Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%.
Michael my man I completely resonate with you but if we open up about this in medical institutions I’m getting canceled thanks being a evidence based science student
I am by no means an expert on Sex and Gender Studies, but I think there is something you are missing:
Let's suppose we only look at the approx. 0.02% of Intersex people. Relatively speaking, this of course is a small number, but in absolute numbers we are talking about 1.6 million people* world wide which is not much, but by no means an insignificant amount. However, I can understand that one thinks differently on this, because in a way, relatively speaking, it arguably really is not to be fair.
(*0.02 Percent of 8 billion people right now; approximations that I think are acceptable. Population from the worldometer and the world population review; the percentage of intersex people may be higher, but this is the lowest consensus that exists and anything higher is at least to some degree debatable, so lets go with that for now.)
Now, the point you might have overlooked if I understood you correctly: As the video itself states, Sex is different from Gender. Also many/most Transgender persons are persons, who are (relatively) binary in their sex as we have seen, that almost everyone on earth is either male or female at birth - but exactly this is the gist of transgender: One does not feel in accordance to the sex one has biologically at the time of birth, or to put it in even more accurate words: One does not feel the match between themselves and the "stereotypical" male gender, which they should have due to their male sex, and thus they lean towards a more feminine gender or no gender at all - hence being "trans"-gender or maybe even agender.
I do not really understand, what it feels like to be transgender, as I am of male Sex, and identify as a male Gender and so are you probably if I may assume, but maybe it helps to think of sexuality, too: What has been considered normal is a male loving a female; but there are many people - past and present - that felt otherwise. They do not have a "gene defect" or at least none that is currently known and understood in scientific literature, and yet they were diverging from the norm. It is easier to understand why an intersex person may feel a different sexuality, but non-intersex people can also have it as we can see in both famous and personal cases. Now, lets transpose that towards Gender: It is easy to understand, why Intersex People would not feel in accordance to their sex at birth, and it understandably gets harder to understand the same for non-intersex people. Yet, this is what "happens" to a number of people in the world.
Lastly, maybe your perspective is skewed: I don't have statistics at hand right now, but I am sure that a majority of people in the LGBT Community are "there for their Sexuality and not for their Gender"*. So, there are not billions of people questioning their Gender, but still many millions.
(*Firstly: I know, terrible wording; but I think everyone knows what I mean. Secondly: I know, there are quite many people who "are there for both and more")
And to go deeper into the Intersex-being-a-spectrum-or-not topic of yours: Yes, in some ways, Sex is/has the smallest Spectrum as the numbers of Intersex people are smaller than the people of transgender or non heterosexual people, but it is a spectrum nonetheless. As already said: if you think, that this spectrum is insignificant, then okey! I don't think the same, but I can at least understand where you're coming from. But please keep in mind, that Sex and Gender (and Sexuality) are completely different things and that even Sex is, by definition, a spectrum, as some factors come into play more or less, that result in a gradual instead of a noncontinuous change of state. There is no "cups"-system where one has either 5 cups of testosterone or 10.
And here lies the distinction between Sex and Fingercount: One can not have 5.1 fingers on one hand (at most, one can have 5 fingers and one finger that is about one tenth of a normal finger, but what is a normal finger and what length do you take for that? The length of the thumb, the pinky or the middle finger? What is the "correct length" of a sixth finger? Or is it even a finger or is it rather just a small nob sticking out of your hand? do you have muscle control over that little nob of flesh? you see the problem?), but one can have "5.1 cups" of testosterone instead of "5". Cancer, on the other hand, can be seen as a spectrum and the evolution of cancer actually is spectral: There are clearly defined features to differentiate a metastatic tumor from a nonmetastatic one, but apart from that it is all just a gradual growth of tumor size depending on location, generated mutations, effectiveness of the immune system, proliferation speed, speed of angiogenesis etc.
There is one clear thing, that would negate biological Sex being a spectrum, but that is defined only by A the resolution of the universe and the measuring methods due to the plank length, plank time and Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and B the resolution of biological (or chemical or physical) systems in a sense that there are not 5.1 testosterone molecules but only 5 or 6. However, I think we both can agree, that these resolution effects are negligible.
So, to conclude my comment:
1. I think you have missed the potential of there being more Intersexual people in the world as Asher has stated, but to be completely fair: We still don't know the real number.
2. I can understand, why you think that the amount of people being Intersex is "insignificant" or at least not that significant as it seems and as it is portrayed as. However, I do think differently on that; I do think that even the "rarer biological phenomenons" - like some people would maybe call it - are still highly significant, or otherwise, many rare diseases would also all be insignificant.
3. Sex is not Gender and both are, in turn, different from Sexuality.
4. All of that what I have talked about is a spectrum. Even if it is small, it nonetheless is.
And last but very very very much not least: I actually think it is awesome that someone, who is skeptic* towards these topics, actually tries to understand it and watches some videos about it. And no matter whether you change your opinion or not: As long as you don't judge other people and are not a dick towards them - which I wholeheartedly do not believe that you do / are -, I am fine with it. Just be aware, that some people in the community react very sensitive to such "insensitive" comments of yours, but also keep in mind in what position they are: They do not want to be confronted with negativity or even hatred and just want to live their lives peacefully - some of them may overreact which is by all means not good, but understandable. And I think of you and your standpoint in a very similar way: not good in my opinion, but actually understandable in some key points.
(*Skepticism meant in a good way! One needs to stay critical, especially in science, while keeping all eyes and ears open for other opinions, interpretations, facts etc.)
Is there something that I have maybe missed or misunderstood? please tell me, I'd love to know
It is indeed a pseudoscience. I have yet to find an article that supports this wishy washy idea of gender and sex. In fact evidence points to the opposite. It's the same thing as saying that insulin doesn't push glucose into the cell because there are people with Diabetes who are insensitive to insulin. That doesn't change the fact that insulin functions to move glucose into cells. It's the same thing with gender. A person born with XX chromosomes is a female. When that baby grows up they will grow up to become and adult female Aka a woman. Now if this wasn't true, then there would be no correlation between a persons chromosomes and their gender. Furthermore, it would mean a person would not never be able to tell whether someone is a man or a woman. The same way one cannot tell what day of the week a stranger was born.
But this is obviously not true. Approach any random person on the street, chances are you will be able to tell their gender. It isn't because we are all psychic but it is because sex and gender are two sides of the same coin. YES. I am happy to concede that there are some exceptions where this may not apply. however, this is not the rule and it should not be treated as the rule. This is the EXCEPTION. And people who fall under this exception need to be treated with respect and should be addressed the way that they would like because the rule does not apply to them. But it is ridiculous to act as if gender is this imaginary social construct that should be ignored when dealing with people on a day to day basis.

Oh yeah? Let's change perfectly descriptive, value neutral scientific terminology because some people have a political correctness meltdown.
I come to this channel to learn science, not to be seminared on correct thought.
EDIT: Some folks pointed out that the point in the video is about what language to use when communicating with patients. I didn't get that impression on first watch, and I think it could have been made more clear in the video. But all that said, I think understood that way, the statement is correct. "The preferred" term, when communicating with patients is "gay," not "homosexual." But "homosexual" is the more technical and formal scientific term.
There is nothing wrong with the term homosexual Idk why they said that.

I had a problem at first but the edit cleared that right up 😂 I completely agree that saying homosexual is still the science way of going about it, but like you said saying homosexual is just a bit more science terminology than is really needed when talking to the person, I mean if you were asked would you say you’re heterosexual/homosexual or straight/gay. Saying gay is just more simple and more widely accepted in the community.

So how can I determine my gender identity?
Is anyone able to answer that UNBELIEVABLY basic question?
Or is that most simplistic of questions unanswerable?
It’s because it’s not a real thing. It’s a cult belief system that is being pushed across all institutions. They can’t define it because it’s baseless. Unfortunately, they teach it as if it’s of scientific truth in medical schools (heavily emphasized at the medical school that I attend) and students are being indoctrinated. The movement stems from perverted physicians like John Money where they coined the term ‘gender’. We really should stop entertaining their false ideologies and stop using ‘gender’, ‘gender identity’, ‘cis-‘, ‘trans-‘, etc., because by changing language, they are changing the way people think (but if you really think about it, people are taught to not think intellectually but passively).

Thank you for including the Asexuals!
Bisexual and Pansexual are NOT the same
Bisexual means you like both Genders
Pansexual means you’re attracted to anyone no matter their gender,gender identity,sexual orientation everything
I’m Pansexual
bisexual can also mean what pansexual means, the definition is subjective and means different things to different people. The only difference I'd say there is with pansexual is that if someone identifies as pan you know they are specifically saying they are attracted to anyone regardless of gender, but if someone is bi they might not think that. so basically, there's no point in saying they are different bc sometimes they are the same and I also don't think there's any point in trying to strictly define bisexual
“So GOD created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (genesis 1:27) "But from the beginning of the creation, GOD ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what GOD has joined together, let not man separate.” (mark 10:6-9) “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your GOD." (deuteronomy 22:5)
So pansexual is bisexual, but you believe in more than 2 genders
@@biomechanicalintegration6137 I wouldn't say it like that. Pansexuality is just attraction regardless of gender, so you just don't care about a persons gender, and bisexuality is attraction to multiple genders. The main difference is that bi people can have a gender preference. I call myself bisexual, since many people don't know what pansexuality is, but i also fit the definition of pansexual.
@@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX lol wtf
Reading most comments, I think there is a lot of talking past each other. Let me try to clear a few things up.
When people defend the traditional gender=sex view, I don't think people are disputing the reality of the feelings or beliefs of the individual who feels or believes to be a certain gender.
What they are disputing is whether those feelings and beliefs represent reality correctly. Psychiatry and psychopathology are full of examples of feelings and beliefs that are delusional. It is simply an empirical question whether certain gender-related self-identifications are like that or not.
Here, most people on the left interject, "but there is no reality in gender to represent other than your own beliefs and feelings."
I am not sure about that, in part because that renders the content of gender identification empty. Because on that view, I am a man if I believe that I am a man. But what is that thing that I believe to be, if there is nothing to it other than the belief?
If that's too abstract, consider this: Suppose I say, "I am a waskjdaa if I believe I am a waskjdaa." Here, it is fair to ask, "What is a waskjdaa?" If my response to that question is, "Waskjdaa is just something I believe to be", then you would understandably be confused.
Likewise, without being anchored into something external, objective or at least inter-subjective, gender terms are meaningless because meaning can't be purely subjective. Meaning is an emergent feature of communication; when something can't be communicated in principle, it by definition is devoid of meaning. If all there is to being a man, woman, or anything in between is believing to be one, then "man", "woman", etc are empty terms.
Maybe they are, or at least they should be empty terms. In fact, I can understand a radical political stance where your goal is to abolish gender terms by uncovering them to be empty. But you can't just claim that the perspective presented in this video is the scientific truth by definition, and everyone who disagrees with it should just go read a book. Even Trans scholars like Bettcher don't claim that it is simply a matter of definition.
That's why, although I am skeptical of both sides in this debate, I can wrap my mind around the revolutionary leftist who says gender is meaningless and the conservative who says being a gender is at least in part tied to biological and behavioral factors associated with biological sex.
The people in the middle who claim, " gender is just what you feel/believe to be," like the author of this video, those, I don't understand.
And I have a suspicion that there is nothing to be understood, because theirs is an incoherent position.
Yeah tell that to "Gender Critical" folks AKA TERFs.
@@syryquil I don't believe this comment is questioning people with gender dysphoria directly.
@A.J. 232737 I am not saying thoughts, beliefs and feelings can't have meaning or be communicated. I am saying, for thoughts, beliefs or feelings to mean anything, they need to be about something. "I believe I am a man" isn't about anything if "man" is a synonym for "Someone who believes to be a man." Substitution gives the circular "I believe that I am someone who believes to be a man."
So, we have a dilemma: we either embrace the circularity and say that gender terms are meaningless, and quit making a fuss about misidentification, or we admit that there is external content to gender terms, like certain biological and behavioral characteristics associated with sex. There is no other option I can see. Perhaps you disagree. Let me know.

I’m gay myself and saying homosexual is not wrong per say as it is the correct terminology scientifically and a lot of people don’t have a problem with it, but it mostly just comes down to just being easier to say and wanting to feel normal. Having to say homosexual is just more wordy than it needs to be. Since you don’t know I’m guessing you are straight (forgive me if I am wrong) and if you think about it for yourself saying you are straight just seems a bit more normal than saying you’re heterosexual, and for us just saying gay makes it feel just a little more normal and less different. Also gay has sort of become more of a blanket statement in the community to say that you are different than people who are straight.
knowing the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
Thank 🥰
also people, it’s really not that hard to respect other’s identity or at least try to!

thank you for this! SOGI awareness in healthcare is very important and really helps saves so many lives!
Advice for young men. Your energetic and enthusiastic twenties are incredibly valuable. They are a fantastic springboard which will only happen once and they don't last a long time so they should be used and lived wisely. Concentrate on your education and your career. Adopt a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a good diet. Get involved in interesting and possibly demanding pursuits and experiences. Learn about personal finance. Develop friendships with like-minded people. Then when you reach your thirties and for all the years beyond, you can really enjoy the long-term benefits of what you've achieved and established in your twenties. You will become a person with whom other interesting and attractive people will want to engage and develop relationships. Let others concern themselves with orientation, identity and pronouns.
Thank you, we have become more concerned on how we feel that we have invented new ways to feel special instead of accepting our discomfort and taking responsibility of our lives. I live in Africa and trust me nobody has such struggles.
So when am I gonna sort out my personal identity if not now?
@@alexanderthegreat6682 I cannot think of a better way to develop and establish your personal identity than what I've outlined above.
@@keyboarddancers7751 I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. It's a lot more clear looking back now.
@@alexanderthegreat6682 Your reply is appreciated. I remember years ago being an undergraduate student at university at the age of 29 and I got to know several fellahs in their early to mid 20s who were doing PhDs. Obviously not everybody can do PhDs but it occured to me how in their own way they were taking their precious energetic youth by the scruff of its neck and wringing as much out of it as possible and by the end of their 20s and of course for many years beyond that, their life options could be so exciting and expansive. Just think about the level of maturity and importantly, the development of a solid personal identity inherent in such a process.
Thanks for this. Trying to understand why there are so many thumbs down though?

without GOD, love is absent, and because of this any sexual, romantic attraction towards the same gender is actually lust. and since anyone who chooses to be partners with the same gender, it goes against GOD's design for mankind, and therefore, GOD isn't the center of that love, meaning that that love is not love at all, it's lust. and lust is adultery, which is of course a sin. and all sin leads to death. but the LORD can save you. JESUS died for us, sinners, so that through HIM alone, we may have everlasting life and die to sin and live in righteousness. we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of GOD, and a result from being born again is the HOLY SPIRIT WHO will now live and dwell inside of us and one of the gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT is self control, meaning, that attraction no longer is something you blindly and easily fall into, but you now are guided and protected by GOD. GOD bless you!
The information is factually incorrect.

I wish that people would realise the difference between biology as a hard/physical science, and gender identity as being a social science. The two are not the same and it is a mistake to confuse them. It seems like this video is confusing them also, without hard research to back up their findings.
Its confusing because both uses the same nomenclature. Base on the dictionary however, the words man and woman refer to the sex of the person only.

There is much debate over sexual orientation. Some people believe that there is no real difference between the ways that people of different sexual orientations interact with each other. Others believe that there is a great difference between sexual orientation and personal preference. Finally, there are those who believe that there is no real difference between sexual orientation and physical preference. All of these beliefs are without any factual basis.

Exactly. Why is there now another word called cisgender when it just means heterosexual which is what the majority of people are anyway! I shall just call everyone 'it' in future to save any embarrassment.
Very transparent. Thank you.
You mean propaganda.

I am wondering why the community thinks we need to know their sexual orientation? We don't care. We except you as you are... heterosexual, pansexual, bisexual, and all the other pronouns. I have had girlfriends 50 years ago who were bisexual. And the only reason I knew is they came into me. Still friends. My aunt 35 years before I was born was bisexual. Everyone knew, her community knew, her boss & coworkers knew, her friends & family knew. All I remember about her growing up is that she knew how to fix automobiles, put a roof on her house, built a swimming pool, ect. And she had a partner who was in a domestic violence situation. Her and her son came to live with my aunt. They loved each other. When she passed she gave her the house. Even before the Democrats started shoving this sexual orientation down our throats my son's not had lesbians & gays in their large friends group. They always came over for parties. So again I don't see the issues. And I don't like being forced to call someone by their selected pronoun. Pronouns are ever evolving. It's like being a pathological liar just to get attention. I don't care about your sexual orientation, the same way I don't care about what religion or your skin color but if you shove it down my throat I do not like you. I don't shove it down people's throat about me being fat and you have to except that or else I am going to shove it down your throat. Maybe I will have some made up flag and laws just for us....the term "all people are equal under the law" means just that. But it's when you advocate for certain groups then equality gets screwed and then their is no equality. That's going on now. That's where people will start to hate you. Not because if sexual orientation but because you are receiving special compensation that everyone else does not get.
I totally agree with you. People can be whatever they want to be but that doesn't not make them any better or special than anyone else.
@@susan9188 that's the point actually. Still you will be surprised to know some people totally belittle or shame others who don't fit in the box. That's why people are trying to make it all more accessible and to provide informations to all the others who gets upset to see one person loving another person of the same sex.
If I had a dollar for every sexuality I find on discord , I'd be a millionaire by now .
People constantly say that gender is unrelated to sex. Then in their next sentence they say that their gender doesn’t “match their sex assigned at birth.” So which is it?
Yeah the genetic and biological component is incorrect just because someone has a chroma zone that may not have all the active genes doesn’t mean that they are intersex…. Gene expression does not determine sex.. and there is a spectrum of characteristic but not of the sex.
Also intersex would be someone that has two actual sexes which is extremely rare would require Add in or complete deletions or expression of both female and male sex genes simultaneously to develop both organs.. which doesn’t happen for the most part intersex is generally there is sexual organs that are ambiguous within the genitalia.. usually between the two types of Genitalia.
this is a fallacy and Made up science we would call this a pseudoscience or a faux science..
This doesn’t mean that there is some other kind of dimorphic expression or mimicry as we find an evolution… but many of these people are artificially taking drugs so they can espouse different identities that are not biologically based in order to tilt the scales more in favor of the desired sex or gender… this is mimicry it is not transgenderism… or any of the things that they’re talking about
i’ll say that there is nothing wrong with mimicry or sexual mimicry it does not make someone a bad person for mimicking another gender..
But they have completely got this wrong..
I'm surprised they haven't turned off the comments. Then again, the comments speak for themselves. Smh.
So many "youtube college graduates" in the comments that act like they figured it out when they are not in healthcare, are not counselors, not doctors, and just "have figured it out". I actually work in healthcare and medicine and I promise you its not so simple as to say "you just have too much time on your hands". Also its important to recognize that the brain IS biology as well and if the brain is the source of our sense of self, then who is to say it's "wrong" or "just a feeling". EVERYTHING is a feeling. Trauma, ptsd, abuse....those are all based on FEELINGS that manifest as real issues. Feelings are valid and real. Also I totally understand that it is hard for someone who is not trans or lgbq to understand the concept. I am white and I will never understand the feeling of being asian or black. But ask yourself this, even if you questioned your sexuality and gender....you still know what it is right? So if you know your sexuality and gender, then so does everyone else. If you are a man and attracted to a woman, even if you have a period where you ask...maybe I like men, you can say with certainty now that you are not. I can do everything I can and you will still like women. So if that is true, it holds true for everyone else. If someone feels and identify as male or female regardless of their sex at birth, then it is just as valid. If you have ever seen the intense smile on a transgender persons face when they start their transition and compare it to how they didnt smile at all before.......you would understand how real it actually is. No one would put themselves through the struggles and medical issues of being trans or lgbq for no reason and definitely not out of fear. Trust that doctors and scientists understand this better than the general population.
I don't think people are disputing that feelings or beliefs themselves are real. What they are disputing is whether they represent reality. As someone who works in healthcare, you would acknowledge that, some feelings and beliefs are delusional states. It is an empirical question whether certain gender-related self-identifications are like that or not.
Here, most people interject, "but there is no reality in gender to represent other than your own beliefs and feelings." I am not sure about that, in part because that renders the content of gender identification empty. Because on that view, I am a man if I believe that I am a man. But what is that thing that I believe to be, if there is nothing to it other than the belief? If I said, "I am a waskjdaa if I believe I am a waskjdaa," you would fairly ask, "What is a waskjdaa" and if I said, it is just something I believe to be, then you would understandably be confused. Likewise, without being anchored into something external, objective or at least inter-subjective, gender terms are meaningless. If all there is to being a man, woman, or anything in between is believing to be one, then "man", "woman", etc are empty terms.
Maybe they are, or should be empty terms. But you can't just claim that the perspective presented in this video is the scientific truth, and everyone who disagrees with it should just go read a book. Even Trans scholars like Bettcher don't claim that it is simply a matter of definition.
That's why, although I am skeptical of both sides in this debate, I can wrap my mind around the conservative position which says, being a gender is at least in part tied to biological and behavioral factors associated with biological sex.
I'll go with biology.

I 100% support the LGBTQ community. I view humans as humans myself. I acknowledge it's real and no person is the same. Everyone should be what they want. But i think it's better to say there are 2 basic true biological genders and from those 2 basic biological genders there are combinations in between these 2 genders but should not be called a gender on it's own ( with all respect ). Few examples .. Non-binair could be called genderless instead of a gender. Trans person is a man that became a woman or a woman that became a man, It's not a gender by itself. Pangender liking people instead of a gender is not a gender by itself but a preference like bieng gay or bi.
All these should be a called a titel or category instead of gender.
Sad to see the supposedly educated people in the comments making the least educated responses to this video. I thought you guys were all into medicine and the intricacies of human health? Now you're all whining when a video challenges your preconceived beliefs.

This video contains dreadful science.
Just because some people are born without limbs, we don't say human limb number is on a spectrum.
Intersex is a tiny percentage of the population.
Don't conflate that with gender dysphoria.
If i hadn't gone to medical school, this video might've been persuasive, which is perhaps the worrying part.
As a current medical student, I really want to scream every day at the indoctrination that they shove down our throats… ‘Gender and sex are different. Yet someone can become any sex they choose, etc.’

What i have trouble understanding is when socially consteucted gender identity can override biological sex and make sexual biological and physiological alterations against what their body is doing internally and externally.

So people are technical born as male or female with genetic exceptions which can make them feel or relate to one or the other. Not that messy. If they can copulate with a woman and produce offspring, they are male. Saying you feel like your female is an exception and doesn't change what you biologically are. Hence sex is actually more important and less messy than gender, which has absolutely no parameters.
Hello, first of all, thank you for your effort for this informative video. I was going to talk to you briefly.
I understand the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity, but some sources also keep sexual identity separate from them. According to one source, gender identity is the biological identity of individuals at birth, while sexual identity is how a person feels, male or female. But on the other hand, many sources define the two as the opposite. It is written on an article that gender identity is the personal sense of one's own gender; not the gender assigned at birth. What do you think? Thanks!
Gender identity is one’s sense of their gender. Sex is one’s biology. The one that says the opposite is incorrect.

@@shazam_daghost3427 Kinda late, but I think he ment that this should not be taught to elementary kids because their mind cannot understand the subject, and it might affect their development. The government should stick to the regular math, history, science, which will not affect a child's sexual orientation or gender identity. I guess you can say it's not appropriate to teach to younger people, like deaths in history because that can affect their development.
How does sex pertain to biological difference, yet sexual orientation describes gender attraction? You've described heterosexual, homosexual etc as attractions in relation to GENDER yet in none of those words is GENDER contained, but instead SEX is, and if you were to look up the meanings of those words they are described as attraction based on SEX not GENDER. Also Bi, as in BI-SEXUAL means 2 and only 2, not 2 or more. With that being said, are people who are transgender and what have you, trying to change the meaning of a lot of words and terms, or did they not know what they meant to begin with?
Bi: two genders
Sexual: sensual energy and activness
For example.
There are 858774755687 genders and i identify as a tiger tank and im tanksexual
Im sorry, but misgendering someone is a first world problem... I have a higher voice because of a vocal cord injury, I get called "Ma'am" or "Miss" over the phone all the time. So I identify as a woman, no, absolutely not. Do i get offended or upset by their assumption based on my voice, no. Even if i say my name which happens to be a masculine name over the phone and they still sometimes say ma'am, no. Why, because there are a million things worse than getting upset over someone misgendering you. Especially if they misgender you based on a decision you made. The world 100% doest care about others opinions, and i guarantee the more its shoved down someones throat, the more they will misgender you. Its called walking away, not speaking to that person again, asking to speak to someone else, etc... I honesty think people take this way out of preposition, those who feel this way and those who dont. If everyone just stopped, sat down and realized it doesn't really truly matter to anybody but yourself what your gender identity is, i doubt there would be this much push back. Its when its shoved down peoples throats 24/7 that it gets old, its not a competition. All these genders are a new concept and not a world wide belief, the best way to get a movement going is to stay in the shadows until it is large enough to take hold, but as it stands, more than likely over half of the United States and a majority of the population of the world do not believe in this ideology. So while this video is informative, it merely shows the first world struggling of this population, that they have the freedoms to openly express this and are upset that someone called them the wrong name but a majority of the world will never see even a percent of the freedom they see on a daily basis being able to walk around as a free, transgender, gay, bisexual, etc...

hamza asri hmm if im not mistaken morocco is a muslim country? And in islam they dont allow lgbtqs so maybe people there are more in the closet about their sexuality and orientation so u might not encounter a situation where a patient might be offended by the binary code. But in developed nations like australia, us, uk, a country where im at, patients have more autonomy so we have to respect that and thats why knowledge on this is important and it definitely taught me something
@@DissonantSynth what part of science says "homosexual" is not the correct term for people who are sexually attracted to the same sex?
Having a different gender identity compared to your sex is just an error.
Father means male aprent and mother means female mother !
There is nothing more to it, these are not roles , these are names we give to parents with a specific sex.
The roles people gave were according to sex, and not gender.
For example women worked more cuz they have more physical endurance ! Women stayed more at home cuz they wanted to and not because they were forced ! It was a more economical thing , back then someone had to do the house jobs and it was not easy, while the guys had to work the harder jobs cuz they could work more to earn more.
Also, male and female refers to sex only and the very words were invented to describe the natural sex of the person.
Rest is in our heads .
I understand the empathy of giving people the freedom to express their gender identity , sex etc.. I might be wrong here but to be honest, I think the reason people come up with so many gender identities, sexes , who they are attracted to or sometimes a lack of any identification is simply TOO MUCH TIME to think about these things .
You don’t see an African mother of 10 who walk miles everyday to bring water to here children thinking if she is bi , asexual or non-binary etc.. or maybe she does , I could be wrong .
But from my personal experience, having too much time and having the privilege of not thinking where your tap water comes from , gives me the time to think of some crazy shit . Hell today I almost diagnosed myself with Bipolar because I was bored .
My point is instead of thinking too deeply or analyzing who you are attracted to or which gender you feel like today , maybe try to find a purpose in your life . Something that makes you think of nothing else . A passion that you can dedicate your life to and be free of your quest for people’s validation .
Did the woman analyze herself before she came to a conclusion that she's straight, and had kids? No?
Same. It's not analyzing. It's just who you are.
This is very true.
But then again, this topic is a first world problem.
Anudeep S No and you know why maybe because her life depended on getting married to a man and having children . But the gist of this is that when you’re life is on the line , you don’t think about these things .
Which begs the question , are these feelings/desires REAL or are they product of my mind being bored or needing validation from other people ? I know what it feels like to be special because you’re different in a way from people around you . And sometimes people want to create this feeling anyway they can , even if it’s subconscious
Colleen I know , I’m just exaggerating to make a point 😅
@Colleen do you really think someone who walk up to you and tell you they're gay knowing the prejudice they'd face ?
The word is not gay, it's homosexual.
And what is with that term.
It a specific term with a specific meaning.
The word gay already existed in the English language with a different meaning.
You understand that it is just slang that later turned into vocab? Words change and words can have synonyms. You wouldnt say that calling a heterosexual person straight is bad because straight is already used as another word, would you? What about asexual being ace, which is also a word that has a different meaning, like in a game of cards? What about Pansexual being shortened to pan, which also is a kitchen utensil?
I'm still confused. What exactly is a "sense of gender?" Is it related to personality or behaviour? I'd like to think being a woman has nothing to do with gender stereotypes or socialisation imposed by society.
It is a belief, almost like a religious belief. Gender identity ideologues like this person believe that everyone has a 'deep innate sense of one's gender' unrelated to their biological sex
Wish I could print this
This video is so important (and a quick scroll through the answers tells me that's is much needed too !). I work with transgender patients a lot and I wish I saw this earlier. Thank Osmosis for this lesson. It's such an interesting topic mixing biology, sociology and psychology.
knowing the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of our species & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others, that you are entitled to, this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years ago by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. The public must be exposed to facts & knowledge. It is an obligation for those who know the truth & must defend it. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
BOT.
at the end, a male can't be a female and vice versa.
Can I be linked to some peer reviewed papers regarding this issue?
I want to understand it without any political baggage involved.
You will find none. Most of them have political baggage and most people who think about this issue critically recieve inflammatory response.
Just because biological sex isn't as simple as genitalia or even chromosomes doesn't mean it's a spectrum. Sex is binary. Males are those whose bodies developed primarily toward the purpose of producing small gametes (sperm) and females are those whose bodies developed primarily toward the purpose of large gametes (ova). There is no third pathway of development, and certainly no third gamete. Even intersex people develop largely toward one reproductive function or the other.
The problem with "gender identity" as "a person's own sense of their gender", is that no one can actually know what it is they're sensing. We've no basis for that comparison. We've all only been just the one gender, so we'd have no way of knowing the difference between "feeling like" a man vs. "feeling like" a woman, or indeed if there is such a difference at all.
Also, to establish that gender itself is different from sex, you'll need to give some sort of objective definition for "gender". And so far no one's been able to do that, including the so-called "gender experts" we're supposed to be deferring to here.
Likewise, in order to establish that anyone is referring to someone else with the wrong pronoun ("misgendering"), you will need to provide objective definitions for terms like "man" and "woman". Since those who subscribe to your worldview consistently fail to do this, it follows that you can't ever actually be correct or incorrect in using these terms. Ironically, it's only those of us who *reject* modern gender theory, that could accuse others of misgendering us in a coherent way.
So what if someone's sexual expression is in conflict with their gender expression? This post is at the whim of intrinsic belief and not qualitative or quantitative science and that's upsetting.
Who's funding you?
When something that doesn't hurt or harm anyone makes a patient feel better, why shouldn't it be done? I think that is basic decency.
In the end we aren't there to act on our subjective opinions. They don't matter and I don't think anybody really cares. We are there to help the patients and if being called something or other makes them feel well and prevents a teenager from killing themselves, then I am going to note it down and act accordingly. This video didn't say you should telepathically deduce your patients wishes, just to be open to the possibility and note it down. It's not like groups of humans will cease to exist just because people try to ignore them.
It is good information to have in your back pocket. It is somewhat unlikely that most docters will really need this information, because while some may pretend differently the vast majority of people are quite happy with their sex, but knowledge and a guideline is always good to have.
@@XX-dz5kc I wholeheartedly agree with your statements and the points made in this video will have practical applications in a working environment. That is not where my criticism lies. It lies in the inference that these ideas are unobjectifiable facts as opposed to subjective opinions held by the individual. This seems like a fairly innocuous thing to complain about but when there is a blatant legislative push to make these subjective terms mandatory we are entering a more insidious territory. I believe basic decency will prevail, I don't believe it should be achieved through legislative means.

Facts have little to do with freedom of speech. That's why people can get away with sprouting an objectively false rhetoric. I agree that curbing freedom of expression would set a dangerous precedent, but I really don't think it being presented as fact or opinion changes much in that regard.
As for it being fact or fiction. I definitely won't presume to know what a person thinks about themselves. I can determine who I am, but I can't look into another person's head and determine if they are somehow fooling themselves. That is their prerogative and if they aren't hurting somebody and are content with the way they see themselves, I am not going to deny their feelings, just because I don't have those feelings myself. That would be quite narrow-minded.
And nobody can deny that there are rare cases, when even medicine is at it's whits end. Is a person with a XY karyotype, who can't respond to testosterone and often looks like am uncommonly beautiful woman, male or female? I don't know. That is for the person to decide. And if other people, who look like their karyotype don't feel well, it isn't really my business to determine if it is a fact or an opinion either, because I am not living though it and don't really have a point of reference. People are different, that is a fact of life.
@@XX-dz5kc It's the insistence that certain terms must be used, biological paradigms must be shifted under the guise of progress through legislative means wherein the issue lies with me, I'm aware facts have little to do with freedom of speech but when ideas are presented as unobjectiable facts they're given far more credence than opinion, and from there agendas can be easily forced.
I'm only replying to the first paragraph because it was the only point I was contesting.
@@GrandmasterFerg what agenda exactly? And how is this so wrong?
"Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or dougamous in nature; that we must have "two" sides or that we MUST be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don't assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross ALL sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone's sexuality-including your own."
