Stop Going After Kids · THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

Speaker 1: Should trans people have rights? Well, I don't know. I
0:03
Speaker 1: feel like since we live in a country that was
0:04
Speaker 1: founded upon the principle that we're all created equal and
0:07
Speaker 1: deserve all the same rights and liberties, and since anyone
0:09
Speaker 1: who has ever opposed rights for minorities has always been
0:12
Speaker 1: remembered as a bigot and a villain of history, it
0:14
Speaker 1: seems to me that the simple answer is yes.
0:17
Speaker 2: Oh no, someone tell this guy that these were all Democrats.
0:20
Speaker 3: The Democrats were pro-slavery, the Democrats were the party of
0:23
Speaker 3: the KKK, and they were in favor of Jim Crow laws.
0:26
Speaker 2: Not a good look.
0:27
Speaker 3: And somebody has to question these people about what a
0:29
Speaker 3: right is because I feel like they don't know the
0:31
Speaker 3: definition of that word.
0:32
Speaker 1: So let's look at a primary source, like the Constitution.
0:36
Speaker 1: The 14th Amendment says, No state shall deny to any
0:39
Speaker 1: person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
0:43
Speaker 1: This basically means the government needs to treat everyone equally.
0:45
Speaker 1: But turns out that many of our conservative friends disagree.
0:49
Speaker 3: Is he going to explain which constitutional rights that conservatives
0:51
Speaker 3: want to take away from trans people?
0:53
Speaker 2: No, he's not.
0:54
Speaker 3: Because they aren't trying to do that. What's curious, though,
0:57
Speaker 3: is I can think of a very important constitutional right
0:59
Speaker 3: that trans activists have tried to take away from people
1:02
Speaker 3: for the past decade.
1:03
Speaker 1: Criticizing trans in like 2021 or 2022 would get you deplatformed.
1:09
Speaker 3: I actually think the trans stuff goes as far back
1:11
Speaker 3: as 2019, and radical leftists have been arguing to repeal
1:14
Speaker 3: or circumvent First Amendment protections for over a decade now.
1:18
Speaker 3: That being said, today we're going to talk about an
1:20
Speaker 3: up-and-coming 19-year-old YouTuber who goes by Hadi Rahim. who's had
1:24
Speaker 3: a couple of hit videos recently, because thanks to the
1:27
Speaker 3: whole Dean Withers crowd, a lot of people are getting
1:29
Speaker 3: their political takes from influencers who just barely became adults.
1:33
Speaker 3: But the reason this person caught my interest is because
1:35
Speaker 3: he makes videos that are, for the most part, pretty
1:37
Speaker 3: well put together, and he's very good at appearing that
1:40
Speaker 3: he's very knowledgeable in his field. To give a backhanded compliment,
1:43
Speaker 3: he sounds super smart if you don't have much prior
1:45
Speaker 3: knowledge in these areas, and if you don't have a
1:47
Speaker 3: lot of critical thinking skills that would cause you to
1:49
Speaker 3: question certain things. However, if you do the slightest bit
1:52
Speaker 3: of fact checking, you can see he has no idea
1:55
Speaker 3: what he's doing. That's the real problem, and the illusion
1:58
Speaker 3: of intelligence or competence from political pundits has become quite annoying.
2:02
Speaker 1: For example, The scientific community largely agrees that gender-affirming care,
2:06
Speaker 1: even for minors, saves lives. This scientific consensus, and yes,
2:11
Speaker 1: it's a scientific consensus, this isn't just an appeal to
2:13
Speaker 1: an authority. This is the result of numerous peer-reviewed studies
2:17
Speaker 1: that found that gender-affirming care has led to significantly lower
2:21
Speaker 1: rates of depression and suicidality among people with dysphoria.
2:23
Speaker 3: I mean, arguing in favor of consensus is also a
2:26
Speaker 3: logical fallacy, just like appeals to authority. Lots of people
2:29
Speaker 3: believing something doesn't necessarily mean it's true, especially on a
2:33
Speaker 3: politically charged issue where there is a lot of censorship
2:35
Speaker 3: of dissenting opinion. I mean, they tried to kick Jordan
2:38
Speaker 3: Peterson out of his university and went after his clinical
2:40
Speaker 3: license for extremely moderate takes on this issue, one of
2:43
Speaker 3: which Hadi plays in his video on trans people.
2:46
Speaker 4: Kids are confused enough when they're growing up, I think,
2:48
Speaker 4: to add gender confusion to that, which we're doing very,
2:52
Speaker 4: very rapidly. is going to destroy 15 people for every
2:56
Speaker 4: one it saves.
2:57
Speaker 3: I'm surprised this guy Hadi is so concerned with stuff
2:59
Speaker 3: like constitutional rights, but doesn't mention the horrendous amount of
3:02
Speaker 3: censorship around this issue. Well, he's only 19 and probably
3:06
Speaker 3: just started caring about this stuff a year ago after
3:08
Speaker 3: he took Political Science 101, so he might not be
3:11
Speaker 3: aware of the censorship stuff because they stopped doing a
3:13
Speaker 3: lot of it in 2023. But according to him, there
3:15
Speaker 3: is a massive consensus in the scientific world that gender-affirming
3:19
Speaker 3: care works. Maybe this data is so correct that it
3:22
Speaker 3: should be criminal to speak out against it, and there
3:23
Speaker 3: are totally no conflicts of interest here, like how much
3:26
Speaker 3: of a moneymaker this all is because gender-affirming care is expensive.
3:30
Speaker 3: That being said, let's look at the studies. Hoddy flashes
3:33
Speaker 3: 11 studies across the screen, which I can almost guarantee
3:36
Speaker 3: that he didn't read, especially considering that most of these
3:38
Speaker 3: studies are paywalled, and this one even disagrees with his point.
3:41
Speaker 3: But more importantly, I looked over every single one, and yes,
3:45
Speaker 3: after they did gender-affirming care like giving hormones to children...
3:48
Speaker 3: they reportedly saw some improvement in mental health. Well, except
3:52
Speaker 3: for this study that said there was basically no change
3:54
Speaker 3: and the ones who already had good mental health before
3:56
Speaker 3: the study still had good mental health after, and the
3:59
Speaker 3: ones with bad mental health still had bad mental health
4:02
Speaker 3: after the study. Outside of that, the biggest problem with
4:05
Speaker 3: all these studies is that they don't test gender-affirming care
4:08
Speaker 3: against other types of treatment. So it could be the
4:10
Speaker 3: case that children talking to a therapist is twice as
4:13
Speaker 3: effective at improving mental health as taking hormones that will
4:15
Speaker 3: sterilize them. Because he doesn't show how these treatments perform
4:19
Speaker 3: against others in terms of gender dysphoria, all this data
4:22
Speaker 3: is very weak evidence of Hottie's point. And the constant
4:25
Speaker 3: overconfidence in how correct he is as he shows useless
4:28
Speaker 3: data makes him look very uneducated. Anyway, let's continue with
4:32
Speaker 3: his statements on the effectiveness of gender-affirming care.
4:35
Speaker 1: It's also way less harmful than suicide or self-affliction, which unfortunately...
4:40
Speaker 1: many untreated patients with gender dysphoria fall victim to. So
4:43
Speaker 1: when red states ban gender-affirming care to protect kids, they're
4:47
Speaker 1: actually doing the opposite.
4:48
Speaker 2: Where's the data for that?
4:49
Speaker 3: You had studies for everything else, but no studies for
4:51
Speaker 3: the most important thing, which is to prove that lack
4:53
Speaker 3: of gender-affirming care is actually costing lives? What number of
4:57
Speaker 3: lives is this affecting? You made a whole 20-minute video
4:59
Speaker 3: talking about this, and you don't have one paper that
5:01
Speaker 3: proves that this is the problem? I mean, that's why
5:04
Speaker 3: we're doing the gender-affirming care, right? It's to save lives.
5:08
Speaker 3: Why else are you showing elementary school students videos like this?
5:11
Speaker 1: Hi, baby. Are you a boy or a girl?
5:14
Speaker 5: Funny you should ask, Sid.
5:15
Speaker 6: The way your body looks on the outside is only
5:19
Speaker 6: part of the story.
5:21
Speaker 7: And your gender doesn't always match the sex you were
5:24
Speaker 7: called when you were born.
5:26
Speaker 4: Okay.
5:27
Speaker 3: So if this is all a naturally occurring phenomenon, then
5:29
Speaker 3: why do you have to teach young, impressionable kids about
5:32
Speaker 3: it en masse? The ones who it applies to would
5:34
Speaker 3: know it internally, and they can seek help as needed.
5:37
Speaker 3: But anyway, these people are always silent when it comes
5:39
Speaker 3: to proving their claims about not allowing kids going to
5:42
Speaker 3: gender-affirming care, causing them to die. Personally, I think it's
5:45
Speaker 3: because they have zero or very weak evidence that this
5:48
Speaker 3: is the case. As when people have tried to show
5:50
Speaker 3: data for this like Noah Sampson, the participants being studied
5:53
Speaker 3: are all adults, not children, and they have tons of
5:56
Speaker 3: more important factors for poor mental health like homelessness, alcoholism,
6:00
Speaker 3: and evidence of child sexual abuse. I can imagine that
6:02
Speaker 3: treating those would be a lot more effective at preventing
6:05
Speaker 3: suicidal ideation than hormones, because what the hell do hormones
6:08
Speaker 3: have to do with solving more serious mental health problems
6:10
Speaker 3: like addiction?
6:11
Speaker 1: It's also been found to be safe. Side effects can
6:14
Speaker 1: cause harm, but they're honestly just as harmful as some
6:17
Speaker 1: of the side effects of other elective procedures.
6:19
Speaker 2: What the hell? Is this guy high?
6:22
Speaker 3: The kind of gender-affirming care noted in those studies was
6:24
Speaker 3: hormone replacement therapy, and that shit sterilizes you. That's a
6:28
Speaker 3: pretty important side effect. And they're doing this to kids
6:31
Speaker 3: as young as 13 years old from what I've seen. Actually,
6:33
Speaker 3: later in his video, he talks about a kid who
6:35
Speaker 3: got HRT at 14 years old. Like, how do you
6:38
Speaker 3: make a video about conservatives and dance around their main
6:40
Speaker 3: issue with the transgender stuff? He never counter-argues against his
6:44
Speaker 3: opposition's points on sterilization in the video. Okay, this Star
6:47
Speaker 3: Wars meme on screen is great.
6:49
Speaker 1: And by the way, when it comes to trans kids, very, very,
6:52
Speaker 1: very few even get surgical interventions. This recent study found
6:56
Speaker 1: that only 2.1 per 100,000 minors aged 15 to 17,
7:01
Speaker 1: got surgeries. That number is even smaller for minors aged
7:04
Speaker 1: 13 to 14, at only 0.1 per 100,000. The researchers
7:08
Speaker 1: could find no data on minors under 12 getting surgery. Now,
7:11
Speaker 1: this data is from 2019, and the numbers could have
7:13
Speaker 1: risen in the years since, but even if you quintuple
7:16
Speaker 1: these numbers, we're still talking about less than 300 or
7:20
Speaker 1: 400 people.
7:21
Speaker 3: The number should be zero. It should be zero kids
7:24
Speaker 3: getting surgical interventions for this.
7:25
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people instinctively say, We should
7:28
Speaker 1: ban the procedures until they're 18 or 21. And people
7:31
Speaker 1: who say this are just basing their opinions on vibes.
7:34
Speaker 3: Oh man, this guy's about six months away from arguing
7:37
Speaker 3: why the age of consent law shouldn't exist for sex.
7:39
Speaker 3: You know, because it's just about vibes.
7:41
Speaker 1: Shouldn't the age that you are allowed to have sex
7:43
Speaker 1: be based on when you reach sexual maturity? Why is
7:47
Speaker 1: it considered such a moral crime and a sick thing
7:50
Speaker 1: to like a 16-year-old?
7:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, let's continue talking about why this guy thinks
7:54
Speaker 3: that kids should be allowed to go on hormone replacement therapy.
7:56
Speaker 1: If a 16-year-old with gender dysphoria goes to a doctor
7:59
Speaker 1: and the doctor comes to the conclusion that hormone replacement
8:02
Speaker 1: therapy would significantly improve their mental health and even save
8:05
Speaker 1: their life, and their parents go with them and consent,
8:09
Speaker 1: what's wrong with them receiving treatment? I thought you guys
8:11
Speaker 1: were all about parental rights. Why should the government get
8:14
Speaker 1: between a child, a parent, and their doctor? I thought
8:16
Speaker 1: you guys were the party of small government.
8:18
Speaker 3: I mean, tattoos aren't even permanent, technically. and a 13-year-old
8:22
Speaker 3: wouldn't be allowed to get one, even if their parents consented.
8:24
Speaker 3: But you know, why have any law that supersedes parental consent?
8:27
Speaker 3: Let's just make it so kids are allowed to drink
8:29
Speaker 3: a six-pack of beer every day if their parents say
8:31
Speaker 3: they can. It's not like there are any mentally deranged
8:34
Speaker 3: parents who would do things like treat their kids into
8:36
Speaker 3: consenting to sexual abuse, because stories like that totally don't
8:39
Speaker 3: exist on a podcast called We're All Insane. And certainly,
8:42
Speaker 3: no parent has ever groomed their kid into being trans.
8:45
Speaker 1: You're a boy, right?
8:46
Speaker 7: No.
8:48
Speaker 6: I'm a girl.
8:49
Speaker 7: Who told you you're a.
8:52
Speaker 5: The state of California says that I have to pay
8:54
Speaker 5: for the chemical and physical castration of my son as
8:57
Speaker 5: child support. I'm not going to pay that child support.
9:00
Speaker 5: I'm not going to pay anything to hurt my son.
9:02
Speaker 1: And that means you'll be going to prison?
9:04
Speaker 5: California is going to send me to prison for that.
9:06
Speaker 3: The world isn't black and white, and there are certain
9:08
Speaker 3: limitations that we have on certain beliefs, because making them
9:11
Speaker 3: a free-for-all where anything goes is stupid. Like, pot should
9:14
Speaker 3: be legal like alcohol is, but maybe it's a terrible
9:16
Speaker 3: idea to make crystal meth or fentanyl available at the
9:19
Speaker 3: store for recreational use.
9:21
Speaker 1: The reality is that kids who get these procedures do
9:24
Speaker 1: so with their parents' expressed permission, who have their children's
9:27
Speaker 1: best interest in mind. No five-year-old is walking into a
9:30
Speaker 1: doctor's office saying, I feel like a girl, and walking
9:34
Speaker 1: out with a gallon of estrogen. Children generally cannot get
9:37
Speaker 1: medical care without their parents' consent. You all know this.
9:40
Speaker 1: Why are you acting like this is not the case?
9:42
Speaker 2: I mean, kids can get an abortion without their parents' consent.
9:45
Speaker 3: And as far as I'm aware, kids are allowed to
9:47
Speaker 3: get gender affirming care without their parents' consent to an extent.
9:50
Speaker 3: In fact, in places like California schools, they were trying
9:52
Speaker 3: to hide from parents that they were doing that, which
9:54
Speaker 3: is why people started getting outraged at school board meetings.
9:57
Speaker 5: And I found out after two and a half years.
10:00
Speaker 5: they had been transitioning my son secretly behind my back.
10:03
Speaker 5: So I would bring my son to Pinkerton Middle School
10:06
Speaker 5: in Coppell in boys' clothes, and they would give him
10:09
Speaker 5: a dress and tell him to use the girls' bathroom.
10:13
Speaker 3: It's not like this is unheard of. Encouraging kids to
10:15
Speaker 3: be trans without notifying their parents? is believed to be
10:18
Speaker 3: moral by a lot of leftists.
10:19
Speaker 1: So if you guys could change the Constitution in one way,
10:22
Speaker 1: how would you change it?
10:23
Speaker 7: Rights to abortion, like transgender rights to have surgery without
10:28
Speaker 7: necessarily parental consent.
10:29
Speaker 3: Not to mention you had Keffels and Eli Ehrlich openly
10:32
Speaker 3: trafficking hormones to children.
10:34
Speaker 2: Stuff like that is why people are mad.
10:36
Speaker 3: A bunch of strangers are trying to convince their children
10:38
Speaker 3: they will die unless they get super invasive medical interventions
10:42
Speaker 3: that have permanent life-altering side effects. Okay, so moving on,
10:45
Speaker 3: now we're going to talk about trans athletes. Apparently that's
10:48
Speaker 3: just a silly Republican grift to get votes because every
10:51
Speaker 3: other issue was unpopular.
10:52
Speaker 1: This wasn't always a top issue among Republican voters. The
10:55
Speaker 1: current trans panic is very new, dating back to like 2022.
11:00
Speaker 2: I mean, the trans stuff has been a hot topic
11:01
Speaker 2: for like a decade.
11:02
Speaker 3: You even used a popular Ben Shapiro segment from like
11:05
Speaker 3: 2015 in your video. So maybe Google Trends isn't the
11:08
Speaker 3: most accurate measurement here.
11:10
Speaker 1: In 2020, they fearmongered about BLM, but most Americans actually
11:14
Speaker 1: supported the protests. So that didn't work.
11:16
Speaker 3: Okay, so how many people knew the protests in 2020
11:19
Speaker 3: were actually riots? The media spent a ton of time
11:22
Speaker 3: calling them peaceful to confuse people.
11:24
Speaker 1: In the summer of 2021, the new boogeyman was critical
11:27
Speaker 1: race theory. And while it did lead to Republicans winning
11:30
Speaker 1: the Virginia governorship, It failed to gain much traction beyond that.
11:33
Speaker 1: The outrage was a fad. But by around the summer
11:36
Speaker 1: of 2022 to like early 2023, they finally figured out
11:40
Speaker 1: that if they fearmongered about trans people, they could actually
11:43
Speaker 1: get tens of thousands of working class Americans to vote
11:46
Speaker 1: for the party that bails out the rich and continually
11:49
Speaker 1: tries to take away healthcare.
11:51
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? Race relations and black fatigue
11:53
Speaker 3: is one of the hottest topics right now, especially during
11:56
Speaker 3: the time he was making this video because of Carmelo Anthony. Also,
12:00
Speaker 3: Democrats bail out rich people too. Every politician does that
12:04
Speaker 3: because they won't get voted in if they don't give
12:05
Speaker 3: favors to rich supporters. Consider reading The Dictator's Handbook for
12:09
Speaker 3: more info on that. Also, Obama made healthcare way more expensive.
12:13
Speaker 2: So that's his legacy to Americans.
12:15
Speaker 3: And this is all as if Democrats haven't been using
12:18
Speaker 3: the LGBT stuff to get votes and distract people from
12:20
Speaker 3: more pressing issues for the past decade and a half. Certainly,
12:24
Speaker 3: there aren't a bunch of companies that grift off of
12:26
Speaker 3: trans issues as a PR strategy, And there definitely isn't
12:29
Speaker 3: an entire month out of every year that has the
12:32
Speaker 3: sole purpose of boosting sales for a number of corporations. Alright,
12:36
Speaker 3: let's talk about sports.
12:37
Speaker 1: Okay, but the problem with forcing trans athletes to compete
12:40
Speaker 1: only with members of their biological sex is that you're
12:43
Speaker 1: going to run into the exact same problem with trans men.
12:47
Speaker 1: This is literally what happened in Texas when Mac Beggs,
12:50
Speaker 1: a trans man who was in the process of transitioning
12:53
Speaker 1: by taking testosterone, won the state high school women's wrestling
12:56
Speaker 1: championship in 2017. Transphobes use this as an example to go, see, look,
13:02
Speaker 1: this poor, innocent girl is being beaten up by this
13:05
Speaker 1: violent trans person. Except this isn't a biological man competing
13:10
Speaker 1: against a woman. It's a trans man being forced to
13:13
Speaker 1: compete with women because Texas state law prevented him from
13:17
Speaker 1: competing with men, where he wouldn't have had an unfair advantage.
13:20
Speaker 1: This is literally the result of policies that you advocate for.
13:25
Speaker 1: You're either being dishonest or you're too stupid to understand.
13:28
Speaker 2: This is a bad argument.
13:29
Speaker 3: Nobody cares about women competing in men's sports, just like
13:32
Speaker 3: nobody really cares if women use the men's bathroom to
13:34
Speaker 3: skip the line for the women's bathroom. There's a certain
13:37
Speaker 3: direction that people want these rules to go in, and
13:39
Speaker 3: just like how Japan has women-only train cars, I don't
13:42
Speaker 3: think people really care if these laws were applied unequally.
13:45
Speaker 2: Across the sexes.
13:46
Speaker 3: So just fix the law so that it doesn't apply universally.
13:50
Speaker 1: But how many trans athletes are even out there? Well,
13:53
Speaker 1: according to Charlie Baker, the president of the NCAA, of
13:55
Speaker 1: the 510,000 athletes competing at the collegiate level, fewer than
14:00
Speaker 1: 10 publicly identify as transgender.
14:02
Speaker 3: This kid must listen to Dean Withers because that's his
14:05
Speaker 3: dumb argument too. The current number doesn't matter because 1.
14:09
Speaker 3: Women shouldn't have to change with men in their locker
14:11
Speaker 3: rooms and 2. If this goes unchecked, then eventually the
14:14
Speaker 3: number of trans athletes will increase until all the top
14:17
Speaker 3: athletes in women's sports are trans. It can take 100
14:20
Speaker 3: people to make a competition, but only one of them
14:22
Speaker 3: can win first place, so there doesn't have to be
14:25
Speaker 3: that many trans athletes for it to be a problem.
14:27
Speaker 3: But none of that matters because all these people are
14:30
Speaker 3: hypocrites because Trump used to be pro-trans.
14:32
Speaker 2: And now he's grifting for votes.
14:34
Speaker 1: The anti-trans crusade got Donald Trump, a man who used
14:37
Speaker 1: to passively support trans rights, into becoming the most dangerous
14:41
Speaker 1: threat to their existence. Don't believe me? Here's him in
14:44
Speaker 1: 2015 on bathroom bills.
14:46
Speaker 4: Do you have any transgender people working in your organization?
14:48
Speaker 2: I don't know.
14:50
Speaker 7: No?
14:50
Speaker 1: I really don't know.
14:50
Speaker 8: I probably do.
14:51
Speaker 1: I really don't know.
14:52
Speaker 2: So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower.
14:55
Speaker 3: and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine
14:57
Speaker 3: with her using any bathroom she chooses.
15:00
Speaker 6: That is correct.
15:01
Speaker 1: Here's him now.
15:02
Speaker 8: Gender insanity. Child abuse. Chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of
15:07
Speaker 8: our youth. So-called gender-affirming care. Ridiculous. Mutating their physical appearance.
15:14
Speaker 8: Mutilation of minor youth. Can you believe this? A concept
15:17
Speaker 8: that was never heard of. Under my leadership, this madness
15:21
Speaker 8: will end. Thank you very much.
15:22
Speaker 3: Trump actually walked that statement about bathrooms back like a
15:25
Speaker 3: year later. So the change didn't happen after the great
15:28
Speaker 3: trans craze of 2022.
15:31
Speaker 2: Again, what is this kid smoking?
15:32
Speaker 3: Trans issues were much different in 2016 than they are today.
15:36
Speaker 3: Nobody really knew about the trans stuff outside of a
15:38
Speaker 3: conversation about bathrooms and maybe gender neutral parenting. There wasn't
15:42
Speaker 3: tons of talk about giving hormones to kids at that point.
15:45
Speaker 3: So it's reasonable that Trump would expand on or change
15:48
Speaker 3: his views on this by 2024. And contrary to what
15:51
Speaker 3: these lefties say because they're too busy calling everyone Nazis,
15:54
Speaker 3: most people don't mind trans people. What they don't like
15:57
Speaker 3: are the activists and people going after kids with drugs
16:00
Speaker 3: that will sterilize them. Well, they also don't like pride
16:03
Speaker 3: parades and family-friendly drag shows because they're sexually inappropriate. The
16:07
Speaker 3: good news, though, is that Hadi thought this bad take
16:09
Speaker 3: about Trump changing was so good that he did it twice.
16:12
Speaker 1: This is Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican Congresswoman who
16:16
Speaker 1: has recently become obsessed with trans people. Ever since Congress
16:19
Speaker 1: got its first ever trans member, she's been trying to
16:22
Speaker 1: ban her from using women's bathrooms in the Capitol. And
16:24
Speaker 1: she succeeded. She regularly uses slurs for trans people, calls
16:28
Speaker 1: allies groomers, all in the name of protecting women's spaces.
16:32
Speaker 1: The thing is, is that this is all just a grift.
16:35
Speaker 1: Nancy Mace used to be supportive of trans rights as
16:37
Speaker 1: recently as two years ago.
16:39
Speaker 6: Well, I'm pro transgender rights, pro-LGBTQ, just don't go to
16:45
Speaker 6: the extreme with our kids. Define extremism there for me.
16:49
Speaker 6: Sex change surgery, the hormone blockers that sterilize our children.
16:54
Speaker 6: We shouldn't be doing that when a child is prepubescent
16:57
Speaker 6: or going through puberty. Let that child go through the
17:01
Speaker 6: natural process of life and let them make that permanent
17:05
Speaker 6: decision when they're older. Now, if they want to take
17:08
Speaker 6: on a different pronoun or a different gender identity or
17:11
Speaker 6: grow their hair out or wear a dress or wear
17:13
Speaker 6: pants or do those things as a minor. Those are
17:17
Speaker 6: all things that I think most people would support. Be
17:20
Speaker 6: who you want to be, but don't make those permanent
17:22
Speaker 6: changes when it's a child.
17:24
Speaker 1: Why'd she shift? Simple. To fundraise and get attention. It's disgusting.
17:29
Speaker 2: Where was the shift?
17:30
Speaker 3: This incredibly moderate position that she has here is the
17:33
Speaker 3: one that you've been calling bigoted this whole video. It
17:35
Speaker 3: seems like she's pretty consistent on her beliefs though, considering
17:38
Speaker 3: that you've shown nowhere in this video that she was
17:41
Speaker 3: ever in favor of trans women in female bathrooms. You
17:44
Speaker 3: can say that adult men should be allowed to undergo
17:46
Speaker 3: transgender surgery while also being uncomfortable if men start entering
17:49
Speaker 3: women's bathrooms. And let me be clear on this, slight tangent,
17:53
Speaker 3: politicians are generally bad people and hypocrites. So with that
17:56
Speaker 3: in mind, you should never vote for a politician because
17:58
Speaker 3: you think they're an honest person. You should vote for
18:01
Speaker 3: politicians because of the values they're forced to promote to
18:03
Speaker 3: stay in power. Anyway, the arrogance that this guy has
18:06
Speaker 3: in the way he says stuff, followed by showing horrendous
18:09
Speaker 3: evidence of his points, is just annoying.
18:11
Speaker 1: Why aren't corporations, right now, pulling out of states that
18:15
Speaker 1: ban gender-affirming care for minors, even if their parents consent?
18:19
Speaker 1: This is worse than the bathroom bill! It's literally killing people!
18:22
Speaker 3: Study establishes first causal link between anti-trans laws and suicide attempts. Okay,
18:28
Speaker 3: so this is an NBC article that talks about a
18:30
Speaker 3: study that recruited people through social media So when I
18:33
Speaker 3: say that correlation does not equal causation, what I mean
18:36
Speaker 3: is that recruiting a bunch of terminally online people for
18:38
Speaker 3: your study might not lead to the most accurate results.
18:41
Speaker 3: You know, considering the constant Trump derangement syndrome fear-mongering from
18:44
Speaker 3: the average TikTok user. Like, this is the type of
18:47
Speaker 3: person that you're recruiting for your study.
18:49
Speaker 1: Opposition to trans rights will unfortunately continue to be a
18:52
Speaker 1: thing for years to come. But we shouldn't lose hope.
18:55
Speaker 1: We are on the right side of this. History is
18:58
Speaker 1: not kind to bigots.
19:00
Speaker 3: Right, the ones with the good historical takes always have
19:02
Speaker 3: to announce that they're on the right side of history.
19:04
Speaker 3: I swear, this is like an archetype of internet person
19:07
Speaker 3: who knows nothing about politics, but is super arrogant in
19:09
Speaker 3: their beliefs.
19:10
Speaker 1: China's communism.
19:11
Speaker 2: I've been to China. China's not communist.
19:13
Speaker 7: Huh?
19:14
Speaker 4: China's not communist.
19:14
Speaker 2: What are they? They're a socialist country. Socialist?
19:17
Speaker 1: Yes.
19:18
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to China? Have I?
19:20
Speaker 4: No.
19:21
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.
19:22
Speaker 1: It is the most oppressed country I've ever been to.
19:25
Speaker 3: No, no.
19:25
Speaker 1: Look, no.
19:26
Speaker 4: China is not oppressed.
19:27
Speaker 2: Look at China. They have great social safety net.
19:30
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, I'm the only Asian person in
19:32
Speaker 7: the room. So it's like so weird to see somebody
19:35
Speaker 7: kind of like debate about a country that my mom
19:38
Speaker 7: is from. I would have to agree with John more
19:42
Speaker 7: in terms of like China being a communist country.
19:45
Speaker 3: Even the Chinese girl said he was wrong, though I
19:47
Speaker 3: think the real lesson here is to be more reserved
19:50
Speaker 3: in your opinion instead of firing out a bunch of
19:52
Speaker 3: blind accusations with very low accuracy. Especially when it only
19:56
Speaker 3: takes a few minutes of reading to disprove you. I mean,
19:58
Speaker 3: with all due respect, Dean Withers was much better at this.
20:01
Speaker 3: It took me hours per subject to fact check him.
20:04
Speaker 3: But more importantly, just because someone sounds smart doesn't mean
20:07
Speaker 3: they are. And because of that, when it comes to
20:09
Speaker 3: politics and research, I really think people need to set
20:12
Speaker 3: aside the emotional appeal of somebody or how grounded they sound,
20:16
Speaker 3: and instead focus more on the content of what they're saying.
20:18
Speaker 3: Like Noah Sampson is very good at emotionally appealing to people,
20:21
Speaker 3: but the minute you start asking questions, he stumbles for
20:24
Speaker 3: two hours against Vosh and never debates again. So when
20:27
Speaker 3: you watch internet influencers, at least to some extent you
20:30
Speaker 3: should say, how do you know that? And if all
20:32
Speaker 3: they can do is show you the titles of 11
20:34
Speaker 3: articles they almost certainly didn't read, then you probably shouldn't
20:37
Speaker 3: take their opinion too seriously.
20:39
Speaker 2: Also, maybe people shouldn't be getting.
20:41
Speaker 3: Their political takes from influencers who just graduated high school. Anyway,
20:45
Speaker 3: thanks for watching, follow me on Twitter, and I'll see
20:47
Speaker 3: you in the next video.
