Woke Toronto Star Publishes Gender Cult Op-Ed · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  So when we say that modern leftism is a cult, this opinion piece from
• 0:05
  the Toronto Star is exactly what we're talking about. This exemplifies the cultish nature
• 0:12
  of modern leftism and gender theory. Here's the headline, it's a privilege,
• 0:18
  not a right to know your kid's gender identity. So here the headline is
• 0:24
  is that as a parent, you don't have a right to know about your
• 0:30
  child's health if it falls under the purview of pseudo scientific gender gibberish. Now,
• 0:38
  sex and gender, up until it seemingly fifteen minutes ago, had always
• 0:42
  just been synonyms. They meant the same thing. And then we had this
• 0:47
  redefinition of gender into this abstract, unfalsifiable concept of gender in which the word
• 0:55
  gender actually ceases to have any meaning because it could be anything. Don't believe
• 0:59
  me, ask the frog genders. And that's how you end up with stuff
• 1:03
  like this. And this does seem straight out of a cult. And as
• 1:06
  we go through the article, I will prove it to you again. Let's
• 1:10
  read this headline, it's a privilege, not a right to know your kid's
• 1:15
  gender identity. Anyway, it says it's a hard truth that some kids live
• 1:19
  with parents who are transphobic. No province should forcibly out gender nonconforming kids to
• 1:26
  these parents, and nothing in that statement suggests that all parents should lose their
• 1:30
  rights. It starts out, my son Zach is transgender. He told us
• 1:36
  nonchalantly at bedtime three years ago. Because he's only eleven, so far,
• 1:42
  his transition has been strictly social. New pronouns, new clothes, new haircut,
• 1:48
  new name, With few exceptions, it's been as nothing burger as it
• 1:52
  sounds. It actually doesn't sound very nothing burger, because perhaps the now eleven
• 1:57
  year old child doesn't even understand the concept of gender, your concept of gender,
• 2:04
  and perhaps this is all completely false. Perhaps there's going to be a
• 2:07
  lifetime of psychological damage involved. And apparently the child just told him nonchalantly at
• 2:15
  bedtime. So an eight year old told you at bedtime that they were born
• 2:20
  in the wrong body, and that was it. Because eight year olds know
• 2:23
  everything, They can map up their whole lives ahead of them. They don't
• 2:28
  even need you. What are you there for? And of course there couldn't
• 2:30
  be any other factors involved. There couldn't be peer pressure. I mean,
• 2:34
  do you know if this was suggested to the child by a teacher by a
• 2:38
  schoolmate. Is it something they saw on the internet? How well do you
• 2:42
  really understand what's happening here. By the time he has his first appointment at
• 2:47
  the Sick Kids Gender Clinic in August twenty twenty four, he'll be twelve and
• 2:52
  a half and we'll have been on the wait list for eighteen months. If
• 2:57
  four years into his transition he chooses gender affirming medication, it will not be
• 3:01
  an impulsive decision. Yeah, from a twelve year old? And again,
• 3:07
  are you sure that all of this is real? Are you sure that maybe
• 3:13
  your child hasn't gotten some actually very positive attention from all of this? Sounds
• 3:16
  like possibly the child has. Perhaps the child is being signaled at subtly or
• 3:23
  not so subtly, that this is the right thing to do, that this
• 3:25
  is what's expected of the child. Maybe people would be disappointed if it didn't
• 3:30
  happen. But what am I saying? It's a twelve year old. I
• 3:35
  mean, what don't twelve year olds know about life or other things they haven't
• 3:38
  experienced, like a puberty. But let's continue as an urban, liberal,
• 3:45
  agnostic Canadian. The hardest part of parenting a trans For one thing, you
• 3:49
  didn't need to tell, as you're an urban, liberal, agnostic Canadian,
• 3:52
  you could have just said as a parent. But anyway, the hardest part
• 3:55
  of parenting a trans kid has been watching the anti trans ground swell, particularly
• 4:01
  in the UK and the US. Funny you should mention the UK have you
• 4:06
  seen this article? One thousand families to sue Tavistock Gender Service, the UK's
• 4:14
  only children's gender identity development service, run by Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust,
• 4:20
  is to be sued by at least a thousand families who allege that their
• 4:26
  children were rushed into taking life changing puberty blocking drugs. As a result,
• 4:31
  they were facing physical and psychological, permanent scarring that will last the rest of
• 4:36
  these victims lifetimes. And you see stuff like this and you think, how
• 4:42
  can these parents be so certain? Aside from the fact of just how obviously
• 4:46
  incoherent the entire gender theory movement is in the first place. As of this
• 4:53
  month, twenty two US states have enacted laws or policies banning gender firming care
• 4:59
  for youth up to the age eighteen, despite evidence that this does more harm
• 5:03
  than good. Well, I guess nobody told Europe about that they were way
• 5:06
  ahead on this stuff, by the way, and now they are pulling back.
• 5:10
  European countries restrict trans health care from miners, citing insufficient research. European
• 5:16
  health bodies from Sweden to France are taking a more conservative approach to gender affirming
• 5:23
  care for miners. And by the way, gender affirming care is a euphemism,
• 5:29
  and you know, if you really think about it, it's kind of
• 5:31
  the opposite of what it actually means. I've cried often for those kids and
• 5:35
  their parents, and I've cried for fear these baseless laws will make their way
• 5:41
  north of the border. So either the person who wrote this has absolutely no
• 5:46
  idea what's happening around this issue and the pseudoscience behind it, or they just
• 5:51
  don't care. I mean, I've cried often for those kids. Well,
• 5:56
  if you cried for these people. De transitioner Sue's clinic from mutilating his body.
• 6:00
  De transitioner sues doctors after being given irreversible gender treatments as a child.
• 6:08
  And this is Chloe Cole. She was transitioned in her early teens, given
• 6:12
  testosterone a double mastectomy at fifteen. Her parents were told as she'd kill herself
• 6:18
  if they didn't allow this to happen. Now, are you sure that you're
• 6:23
  eight year old really knows what they're talking about here? Ontario de transitioner who
• 6:28
  had breasts and womb removed sues doctors and this is an adult who was scammed
• 6:32
  into this, never mind a kid. Lawyer for a detransitioning woman eighteen who
• 6:38
  had surgery aged thirteen slams doctors at Kaiser Permanante and says kids should be informed
• 6:45
  they could outgrow their gendered dysphoria, which without intervention is what happens to the
• 6:50
  vast majority. And many of them just grow up to be gay and still
• 6:55
  have normally developed, healthy bodies. And there are many, many stories like
• 7:00
  this, and they're going to be a hell of a lot more. Maybe
• 7:03
  this will be one of them anyway. And now it begins and the conservative
• 7:09
  provinces of New Brunswick and Saskatchewan, parental consent is now required before a student
• 7:15
  under sixteen can use their preferred pronouns or name at school. So that just
• 7:20
  simply means that the school can't hide crucial information about your child's health from you.
• 7:27
  That's it. That is what is so terrifying to the author of this
• 7:30
  column in my own province of Ontario. The Education Minister has opened the door
• 7:35
  to similar policies here, saying, quote, parents must be fully involved and
• 7:41
  fully aware of what's happening in the life of their children so that they can
• 7:46
  support their kids. On the surface, I couldn't agree more. This has
• 7:50
  being my experience after all, because Zach trusted as enough to share his gender
• 7:56
  identity with us. My husband and I have been fully evolved, fully aware,
• 8:01
  and fully supportive. And again I just have to bring up the word
• 8:05
  cult because Zach trusted us enough to share his gender identity with us. Do
• 8:11
  you see here how the responsibility is completely abrogated to a child at the time
• 8:18
  of the so called transition eight years old? I mean everything in this opinion
• 8:24
  piece is the opposite of sanity. We were the ones, not Zach,
• 8:30
  to have the conversations with the school about changing his pronouns and name, not
• 8:35
  because it was our right to do so, as the education minister suggests,
• 8:39
  but because we earn the privilege of Zach's true self. Again, they've completely
• 8:45
  abrogated their responsibility as parents to a child. In what other way would you
• 8:52
  do this? Would you let your eight year old drive your car. Would
• 8:56
  you let your eight year old decide what everybody's going to eat for every meal?
• 9:00
  If you're eight year old asked you to get them a an uber downtown
• 9:03
  at two o'clock on a Saturday night, are you going to do that?
• 9:07
  No? Probably not, And I would say even that would be less reckless
• 9:11
  than this. And what is so genuinely shocking here is that there's just no
• 9:16
  doubt whatsoever Zach's true self, as if you can possibly know that the child
• 9:22
  isn't going to know that until they're an adult. Again. Cult the word
• 9:28
  cult that describes this. If you truly are the sort of parent to support
• 9:33
  your kid's gender identity, you don't need a policy to codify your right to
• 9:37
  do so. You simply need to be open, kind, caring, and
• 9:41
  create a safe space for your kid to be themselves. See I just feel
• 9:46
  like there's a lot of people that would have a different definition of these words,
• 9:50
  kind caring, safe space. But anyway, if you do that,
• 9:56
  they'll share their gender identity with you before they share it with their school.
• 10:00
  For one thing, that's just a nonsense statement. You have no idea,
• 10:03
  You have no idea what's happening at the school. You have no idea if
• 10:07
  the child is being groomed by a teacher, by a counselor you have no
• 10:11
  idea of what kind of peer pressure is going on. Now, this last
• 10:15
  part is very revealing into the psychology behind this column, and it almost kind
• 10:20
  of feels like this is really more about the person writing this and their virtue
• 10:26
  than the child even perhaps, but not everyone is that sort of parent.
• 10:31
  So those of us who are need to band together to make sure that the
• 10:35
  most important rights in this discussion, the rights of children too freely express their
• 10:39
  gender, are upheld and uplifted. See what I mean. It feels a
• 10:43
  bit like one factor in this in any case, is that the person who
• 10:48
  wrote this column likes being the person who wrote this column. But I think
• 10:52
  we'll sum this up with this statement that the rights of children too freely express
• 10:58
  their gender. This is a total abbrogation of the parents' responsibility to protect their
• 11:03
  child, protect them from want from themselves, obviously, but also from obviously
• 11:11
  politically motivated pseudo scientific gibberish that can leave them chemically castrated and mutilated, all
• 11:18
  before they can possibly give informed consent for any of this, and before they
• 11:24
  even genuinely know who they are anyway. That's all I got to say about
• 11:28
  that. Please subscribe, like and share. Sharing really helps me out.
• 11:31
  I thank you for that. I will see you next time.
