Guys, running with the childline thing have you thought about maybe doing a show focused towards young children/teens on how they can cope and respond healthily with what is happening these days? Maybe if you're able to get someone on to discuss how young teens can stay confident and strong and arm themselves with the survival tools to avoid mental health issues woke culture/social media etc is causing. It already effects us adults but the kids look to us for help and being the example. Young, white kids or straight kids growing up are going to be so messed up and they need constructive advice to get through this and to not be victims. Otherwise I'm worried we might see extremism pop up in the pendulum swing whilst we're preoccupied about The Far Left. We need to instill self-belief in these kids as they need it now more than ever or they're going to be damaged adults with all these hangups.
@@DarkAngel2512 already happening my friend. Look on CZcams for "detrans awareness day" many young ppl who transitioned begin to understand that it was a mistake and have regrets. They seem pretty resilient, but still, that's a hard road and one that didn't end up helping so many.
@@shannonsayshi Oh wow! Well, atleast that can be highlighted now finally. But like all good religions the believers will say "but you were never really trans" just like Christians say "you were never really Christian if you leave Christianity".
It's population control
@@thatgirl798 doubt it. It's more like good-doers and greed.
I have to say I'm sick of hearing people tip toe around these issues. Transitioning children is child abuse. Kids are not coming to these ideas on their own, they are absorbing them from the radical activist "adults" around them. Anyone that has raised kids know that their gender is literally a non issue unless you make it one. We must stop using their oh so manipulative language to describe abhorrent things.
It is disgusting and sinister , what world are these indoctrinators aiming for and what is their end game ? The words 'children' and 'trans' shouldn't be in the same sentence . Children should be having fun and learning maths and English ,not this utter crap.
If me as a 35 year old, when my rational brain was supposed to be fully developed, was considering to get a tattoo for my sexuality due to social media influence a few years back then we can only imagine how this stuff influences kids especially when they dont have the comparison of life without social media to realise how they would think without that influence.
As a child who was sexualised at the age of 3, this new movement are predators!
@@Sunflower-qu9lm I dont think the majority of the people in this movement are predators. I think the majority are the useful idiots who think they are doing what they have been taught is right. That's what makes it so dangerous.
I totally agree with you.
Kids are being manipulated by those groomers.
And some parents even agree with that !!
Aren't parents supposed to PROTECT their children ?
James Esses did nothing wrong. âI hope he wins that legal case. And quite honestly I am sick to the center of my soul by this woke insanity.
Well said, I agree đ
Yes and yes. I think we all are.
Yes, on contrary he did everything right.
Exactly. "No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth" â Plato
It's shocking hearing what a twisted world we are living in. It is an insane world.
Mermaids should be shut down.
And Gendered Intelligence
And prosecuted for grooming children into these harms
I'm just so angry hearing how this man has been treated.
I'm convinced 90% of the population are on his side and think he is a very sensible, compassionate man who was only concerned about the welfare of the children.
I'm not usually one to look for more government intervention, but these universities should face consequences and funding cuts for treating people like this with no regard for following protocols.
These institutions are poisoning our society.
Asking government to intervene is a knee jerk response in our society. Actually, we should get government out. Where is the funding coming from for Mermaids? Why are government departments being advised authoritatively by Stonewall? Charities are legally defined and given tax privileges, why are they also pedalling these ideological positions? Government also regulates professions and forces professions to comply with eg 'equality' which is a very political definition not to do with the normal meaning. And most scary of all is the Government's drive to control social media.
It looks to me that the instructions that are supposed to be caring for children have been hijacked by an evil child abusing lobby, and all the normal good carers are being expelled from those institutions
I recently was diagnosed as autistic, as a teen I was called a tomboy and often (and to this day) enjoyed stereotypically masculine activities + subjects. I was a PERFECT target for this ideology - only came to fully embrace my femininity recently at 28 years. Thanking my lucky stars I avoided such a terrible fate, praying for those innocent children ensnared by these groomers. đâ€
Grooming is exactly what this is. At some point we will look back at this crazy time and wonder how it came about. I am pleased you escaped itđ
Absolutely the scenario, did craft design and technology instead of ( the cooking one) never wanted children, hated pink, barbies dolls, loved climbing trees, army and cars. Now I am a housewife with three children and they are the best thing that ever happened to me. Allow children to be children!!!!
Yes could have had life changing consequences.
I have a very athletic/Tomboyish, but happily married mother of three, aunt who says thank god she wasn't raised in today's environment in which she'd certainly have been pressured to explore her lesbian/trans identity.
There is a disturbingly high rate of âtransâ children who are autistic. Instead of them being questioned theyâre just given the medication
Our fourteen granddaughter has become entranced with this issue, we suspect that she is binding as she has had numerous breast infections. She constantly talks about wanting to go and meet with people she has seen online from New York, New Zealand, Canada, etc. and her class mates are similarly affected. Unexpectedly, one of her teachers rang her parents to thank them for embracing her changing her name to a boys name (that was a shock) and all of her school work now shows this name. Our middle aged daughter (her Aunt) has recently been diagnosed as scoring high on the autistic spectrum - my wife and I have known this since her childhood, but 'the authorities' never listened to our concerns or gave advice.
I believe that it is immoral to teach gender ideology to children, as their minds are immature and incapable of critically assessing the consequences of their actions. I also care about the girls who have transitioned and have found that they have made a grave mistake and are attempting to de-transition - many have been brave enough to tell their story on CZcams.
Remove your child from these commie bastards!!!!
The thing I find strange is why aren't there lots of middle aged women coming out and transitioning to male? It is only middle aged men wanting to be women and teenagers wanting to change to either sex. The answer it the men are perverts and the children caught up in the latest fad.
So sorry to hear this story. You are not alone in this.
She needs off the Internet and a new school.
@@helenn6061 : I know other parents that have done just that - I also know that their daughter's gender ideology activist classmates from her old school bought her a smart phone so she could stay on the internet and keep in contact with them - I don't know what effect changing school is having. Also, teenagers will rebel and can dig their heels in even further - even if they know what they are doing is harmful to themselves and others.
This is, quite frankly, terrifying. Give them a chance to figure things out for themselves! When I was a kid I did spend some time wish I was the opposite sex. I grew out of it and am perfectly happy as I am (and I'm not gay, so it's not only them who get confused!). A child under 18, with hormones all over the place and still settling down, is too young to make such life-changing decisions.
I posted this on another comment, but imagine you are just hitting puberty and find out you're attracted to the same sex. Next thing you know, a teacher tells you you might be the opposite gender because you like the same sex. It sounds like conversation therapy, doesn't it?
Me too! I was quite tender-confused as a teen. I felt like I would be so much happier as a boy. I sometimes asked people to refer me in male pronouns. I wore male clothing. Mind you, this was at the time when being transgender didnât result in a coming out party and a special place in a rainbow parade. All you could expect was merciless and relentless mockery.
Fast forward, Iâm a married heterosexual woman. I have many stereotypically male hobbies but I dress feminine. Whatâs wrong with that?
@@drake47367 âŠsounds like homophobia actuallyâŠ.
Yes it's called common sense , so why are universities and the education system forcing this on the majority of people. And cancelling culture the world is going quite mad and tyrannical.
I had the same experience and totally agree.
My heart fucking breaks for all the young gender-non-conforming kids who are going to be fed into the Transing Industry.
@T K well said!
@T K Brilliant comment
It's even worse when you realise they claim even perfectly mundane things are being pushed as signs of being transgender.
Recently I watched an interview with a detransitioned young woman. She said one of the things trans groomers told her was that not liking the sound of your own voice recorded means you are transgender. NOBODY likes to hear their own voice like that. Nobody.
Kids don't even have to be gender non-conforming. They just have a bad hair day and are being told to take hormones.
if this starts to happen to your child , take a year off, take them away, somewhere different where there is not internet connection or a very bad one. Seriously, it's almost life and death here. The west makes kids sick in all sorts of manners, something went wrong, our children are seen as prays for markets and there is no ethics , they convinced girls to starve themeselves in 2000's , to have breast implants in the 90's, and now to have mastectomies , this time it's going too far. Save your child
Iâm a woman with a late Autism diagnosis. As a young child I was drawn to toys marketed at boys like Meccano, trains and trucks. I hadnât a clue how to play with dolls. I was what society called a âtomboyâ. I didnât think I was âin the wrong bodyâ though; possibly because no-one suggested it to me. I could never imagine taking on the role of a mother in adulthood.
At puberty I was utterly horrified by breast development and periods - because they signifies womanhood and a cultural role I didnât think I could handle. I didnât know where I fitted socially, didnât understand myself and didnât understand other people (part of Autism).
I made my own chest binder, restricted food and developed Anorexia Nervosa. The latter was a puberty blocker in itself - because starvation inhibits puberty and sexual development. This had horribly detrimental effects on my bone development leaving me with osteoporosis. Thankfully, all this happened before social media, but Iâm sure Iâd have been drawn to trans ideology had I been a Gen Z.
Long story short: I recovered from Anorexia in my teens and thankfully, with therapy and an Autism diagnosis began to understand myself better. I understood that there are many ways to be a woman and that I didnât have to bear children if I didnât want to. I am more typically feminine now than I have ever been, but still âdifferentâ due to Autism.
Autism can cause a lot of confusion for the person: understanding who they are and where they fit in society; particularly if theyâre teased/rejected. In addition, autistic people often become fixated on things and ideas. Itâs easy to see how an autistic person could fixate into the idea of being trans.
Some autistic people argue that to suggest that autistic children cannot make an informed choice about puberty blockers or âgender identityâ constitutes âableismâ. I disagree with that. âWokeâ culture has infiltrated Autism, and many Neurodiversity advocates adopt critical social justice ideology.
We need someone with a story like yours to speak out publically. What you said just really laid out something important.
Wow what a powerful story. Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for sharing. Good to hear you got through these difficulties. Good luck with everything!
@@icemancometh74 Thank you!
@@Tabitha_K I have a sister three years younger than I she is in her mid thirties (she has typically embraced many modern attitudes which often reject traditional gender roles) and has some undiagnosed medical condition which most of us thought it was 'just' anorexia (she doesn't eat much and is very thin) but she says its not that. Doctors keep doing tests on her and keep finding nothing while she tries to self diagnose herself using google. I've recently learnt she hasn't had a period in years which shows me her condition is definitely something tangible but after what you have written it does make me think her condition really could be a form of anorexia a way for her poisoned mind to reject her gender?
Dear sir you are a children's champion and the industry needs more people like you who want to help kids instead of harming kids.
This man is clearly extremely empathetic and actually walks the walk. Heâs already done far more to help children than most of these TRAs will ever do in their lives. Ridiculous that such an emotionally intelligent man with a passion for helping children should be blocked from achieving his goal of becoming a therapist. Actually shocking.
Thank God he is a barrister and is not intimidated but is atking them to court with a huge support from people contributing to his Crowdfunding.
Also, psychotherapy training is very expensive. Typically it costs several thousand pounds. James was coming to the end of his third year: he had invested, not only his heart and soul, but also a heck of a lot of money which he will never get back. That's one reason why due process and right of appeal is standard in these trainings. The way James has been treated is without any care for him as a person. It's evil.
Good people get treated like shit. James Esses really cares about children and yet he is the bigot. How have people come to this conclusion?
James, you will be completely vindicated. It's inevitable. But I'm sorry you've been made to suffer so much in the meantime. Keep on standing strong.
Are you sure the courts have been completely captured they are now forcing women who have been raped by men to refer to their raspiest as women
I started out thinking, "I'm shocked ". Then I realized that no, I am no longer shocked by this sort of thing. I am appalled. And I started to wonder what is at the root of this dystopia, the transgender madness or the suppression of thought and speech. The pairing of transgender ideology and speech suppression /cancel culture casts an increasingly toxic pall.
I think this guest will make a great witness when his case goes to court, as he is forthright, knowledgeable and well spoken. I hope he wins soundly.
James Lindsay's 'New Discourses" on YT shows how the two join up.
They just need psychiatric help. They're not in the "wrong body" at all, and everyone knows it.
Bang on
The whole wrong body concept is neo-religious.
They need to be protected from the abuse of having adults push crazy ideas on them. Then most of them wouldn't need psychiatric help.
Does anyone know what it's like to be the other sex?
It's the teacher training colleges that are pushing and validating this.
Teachers are over worked and under paid - pay peanuts get monkeys - they can't find equivalent pay or job security anywhere else.
They just need there phone snapping in half and access to social media curtailing for a few years that alone would go a long way to breaking this mania, at an age when a child is desperate for validation they will glom onto pretty much anything that offers them a community and validation to form an identity around...
and it does not matter how much that identity is vilified or condemned by the outgroup as long as they're getting acceptance from the ingroup...
TOTALLY agree with James on gender dysphoria being a bit like anorexia. You are seeing your body in a different way. Totally support mental health counselling for this issue.
And doctors don't encourage the delusion with anorexia. They encourage the delusion with trans.
Absolutely. Even something like BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) is very similar. Sufferers often request surgeries for issues that objectively do not exist. Self perception in an irrational sense is the theme here.
The difference between anorexia and dysphoria is that if an anorexic person looks in the mirror, even if they are skeletal, they'll see a fat person looking back at them and the fat will distress them.
A dysphoric person will look in the mirror and see themself look back at them, and this will distress them.
The kids that are being groomed have no idea what they are supposed to see in the mirror so just parrot what the groomers told them to say to become part of the club.
Cultural Hypochondria. We have become absurd.
@@helenn6061 You might compare it to obesity. Many of the same people saying that dysphoria should be treated with surgery will try to tell obese people to learn to love their body as it is, not seeing the similarities (that is, both being uncomfortable with their bodies as they are).
Disgusting the way he's been treated and don't see how it can be legal. Already donated and hope he wins his case and makes the university pay.
Exactly. "No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth" â Plato
The fact that the training institution completely blocked James shows that they knew that they were in the wrong. Disgraceful behaviour on their part. Thank you James for looking after the interests of children.
We need more people like James Esses the damage being done to young people is shocking. I too hope he wins his legal case.
I don't think I've ever heard someone talk so intelligently and eloquently on the trans issue in children. I've saved this video on my favorites just in case my kids are presented with any coercion at school regarding being pushed one way or another in terms of gender identity. Absolute master class in humility by James Esses. Great interview. Well done guys.
Iâd make sure you know what they are looking at online too. Michael Knowles has an interview with a young girl who was groomed online to trans.
Let's call it what it is, child abuse and grooming.
100% correct!
Grooming is paedophilia. You could say that it is malpractice. That would be helpful and accurate.
Iâm finishing my Masters Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy at a leading Christian University in the US and Iâve been shocked by the response Iâve gotten from a couple of Professors when Iâve written about this issue. Itâs heartbreaking really.
Yes there are a lot of woke "christians" in the USA, and the number is growing everyday. After all, wokeness came from the USA.
What was their response??? How shocking is it? Wish you could name the schoolâŠ
What was their response?
Basically they were more concerned with the âvoice of the marginalizedâ then in assessing the dangers of medical intervention in children. This may not seem extreme, until you take into account it is supposed to be a solid biblical school. I have no desire to silence any voices, but that was not the point of the paper.
@@Mrs_Mama_MFT there is nothing "solid" nor "christian" about that school you're giving your money to. The bible warns throughout of being alert, wary, and vigilant of those who present/sell themselves as light, while being the exact opposite.
The Bible warns that those who destroy innocence will face the wrath of God.
Your school is not serving God, it is serving the other thing.
The only ones in American society who are being left voiceless are children (as well as animals): the most innocent, while your society is protecting the predators and criminals. The people in your school will have to answer to God someday.
Very hard to listen to this. It's one of the most depressing things I've ever heard. Truly, don't understand how the people involved can sleep at night. đ„ Is discussion, safeguarding and empathy dead? Hope he wins his case.
that's the crazy thing. they self identify as the empathetic left and claim conservatives lack empathy. It's because they don't understand empathy. I saw this guy on CZcams yesterday and he was telling everyone how depressed and lonely he is and that was the reason he wasn't going to watch the movie, because he'd get triggered. The people all congratulated him for making the decision. They also told him things would just get better on their own! Everybody gave him advice that is really damaging.
I told him to ignore everyone else's advice and buy a dog. Take him for walks and you'll attract people. Volunteer. I gave him the conservative style advice.
My point is that t hey believe they are empathetic and were being nice to him bu the movie was dealing with his life situation and he was actively saying he's in trouble but people were telling him not to think, don't watch the movie! Thus is their style of thinking. They are afraid of being rude but rude advice you can use is better than insincere flattery that will just lead you in the dangerous direction.
This guy seemed suicidal easily and these people are telling him to wait it out! He didn/'t know anyone. He was revealing his soul to people telling how lonely and depressed he was and they gave him their politeness.
Anyway, I don't believe there is a left wing in the country. If the left wing is blasé about nuclear war, disrespectful to women, unconcerned about corporations' power and mandates and worst and most shameful of all harming children's health, then they are not the left wing that I used to know. Anyone can say 'be kind' but it's meaningless if not backed up by genuine kindness. In any case they don't know the meaning of the word. They're turning the meaning into its opposite by hijacking it.
The people involved sleep at night because misery loves company.
I wish I could understand it. It's very distressing. It's no longer a question of left wing or right wing. The Daily Telegraph is becoming Woke also. I'm not a fan of Freud but it seems as if some form of Thanatos is at the root of it. It's as if our whole culture is on the slide. As if it wants to destroy itself, its future. Children are our future. đȘ
On the other hand, the light inside shines through to the outside in love. Someone I have a lot of respect for transitioned as an adult years ago after much thought and consideration, lovely person, real community spirit, devoted partner, long, long, happy marriage. Loving family, may she rest in peace. Passed away calmly surrounded by loving family. â€
How is it that the media isnât telling his story everywhere? A man trying to do the right thing!
Because the trans industry makes a lot of money off these unhappy people and they appear to be flooding politics and the media with "donations" and funding.
All very weird.
Because they're almost totally captured (although the Times, Telegraph & Spectator have been doing some good reporting)
It's labeled as misinformation or some rediciculous name like transphobia and censored. Anything that goes counter to woke ideology I treated in the same way. What it really is is demanding everyone else live in a world where what's real is what you choose to believe is real even though it's obviously not to sane people.
According to them, he's a bigot and a transphobe. He's denying the existence of trans people, hurting the most marginalised people in society. What rubbish is this? He's fundamentally against child abuse. This is why the people who are captured don't understand why any of this is a problem, all they hear is TWAW and such like from the activists and they never heard a sensible viewpoint like this one. It's suppression of free speech. That's how cults operate.
Remember when cigarettes were the worst thing a teen could start using? This is a million times worse, and the parents are even lighting it for them.
Anyone who thinks all this âdysphoriaâ isnât the primary result of grooming, parenting, and our current cultural trends is fooling themselves or being simply intellectually dishonest.
This issue is one of the reasons my two kids are not educated in mainstream education.
I have been so lucky to live in a town where a community school have been established.
This was borne out of a futuristic local business guy whose daughter suffered at the hands of the woke mainstream.
The pupils are taught critical thinking. And come from a diverse background. Basically all parents have a huge input in all subjects and monitoring the teaching syllabus. And ensuring our kids are safe and taught the truth.
Thank god my kids are not being taught in a toxic environment.
You folks in the UK will NEVER stop this until you repeal the GRA and defund Stonewall and Mermaids or make them go away. Anything else is just whistling in the wind
I see James Esses as a champion of children. Thank you for bringing him on to tell his story. And, thank you to Mr. Esses for being there and doing something about it. I am hopeful he will win this suit against the cowards who dismissed him.
insanity!!! if every issue I faced growing up led to being a lifelong patient and radical surgery I would have never made it out of childhood
Also, as someone studying psychological science, I find it extremely disturbing that medical research is canceled for the fear of offending people, we are in a very dangerous place right now.
One day all of these damaged people will be coming home to roost. And the authorities and advocates who helped them will NOT be held to account. That is the second tragedy.
Everyone will be held accountable eventually. Noone will escape that.
Thank god for people with genuine convictions and courage like this man. Total and utter respect and support for him. Will donate - we must stand against this as a society NOW.
10 and 11 year olds literally have no concept of consequences because they haven't even reached the beginning of Piaget's formal operational stage.
He's right. In nearly every medical condition we start treatment with the simple and noninvasive methods. And save surgical intervention as a last resort. Seems opposite in this case.
The whole situation makes my trust of the psychotherapy industry diminish. However I sincerely hope that James Esses will (in good time) become highly sought after for addressing childrenâs and teenage angst. That he will not only be proved the good guy, but that his career will succeed off of the back of it. He deserves it.
That is the worst story I've ever heard about a university or any organisation cancelling somebody
It means that there is no such thing as being a "boy trapped in a girl's body", or a "girl trapped in a boy's body"... in reality there is only Consciousness, and your body... and people need to know that it isn't healthy to fixate on your sex organs to the point of making that your identity. If you are a man, and you have muscle, then you do what your body allows you to do... you aren't constantly fixating on your body defining your own Consciousness as masculine all of the time... same as being a woman. And the bathroom is a functional place that you want to get in and out of as soon as possible, to deposit waste and that's it. The bathroom shouldn't be a gender badge of honor that you have to identify your worth and entire person on which one you go in, they are functional waste deposit rooms built for your biological bodily mechanism.
This is unfortunately the society we live in. I was a psychiatric nurse for nearly 40 years: I started in the 70s psychiatric care has changed so much since then. In the 70s the care in asylums was by todayâs standards barbaric: Society today is sick there is no cure in my opinion society will need to find its own level. I am so pleased I have lived my life to the full in the times that I have. I am retired and 65 years old thank god.
In what ways was it barbaric in the 70s?
@@joelhall5124 Hi Joel: donât get me wrong I trained in the 70/80s and we provided the best and most appropriate care at the time: The culture was that of the County Asylum ( you can Google the term ) custodial care was the norm. Hundreds of people lived in the asylum unlike the community focused care of today. Staffing levels would be seen as low by todays levels given the patient numbers per ward. Medication was not as developed as it is today. Treatments had a custodial function rather than a rehabilitation function. My point being that if I could take a step back in time with a young nurse straight out of training today I am sure that they would view the care as barbaric in comparison with today.
Alan, I'm 40. Once we lose your generation I feel we're left with no more reality-tested wisdom, mere ideological nuttyness. My whole life I've seen my society be sabotaged in every way.
@Alan Ginger which do you think is more barbaric, the asylums of the 70âs or the tent cities of homeless mentality ill of the 2020âs?
Society is sick because we traded sleep for an alarm clock and caffeine. The simple diet we evolved with for salt and sugar. Exercise for an office chair. We've forgotten what we are and now we're all sick, it's the new normal.
Francis, you say kids just want to fit in - well, they are. They're fitting in with this ideology that is being shot at them through their phones, computers, TV and even in their classrooms. They're fitting in with the fashionable crowd who are leaning towards this stuff.
Agree, thinking you are non-binary or trans, esp amongst teenage girls, is fast becoming if not the norm the popular and fashionable thing to do.
Look at the recent interview with Tucker Carlson and the girl who went trans because she felt she had to because of her peers.
I think that, at this moment, being ânon-binaryâ is at a sweet spot of being transgressive while also eliciting a lot of cultural acceptance, if not encouragement. Both of these qualities are naturally craved by adolescents. Soon the balance will tip-no doubt toward ânon-binaryâ losing its edge-and the numbers of those being drawn to it will either fall off or shift away from young people who need to swim upstream toward those who need to be in the mainstream (or think they do). At the end of the day I maintain that young people are bored out of their minds, and that this explains their addiction to screens, junk food, and social contagions. Theyâre bored because starting in the 1980s we sucked all the adventure and risk-taking out of childhood, features of that stage of life since literally the dawn of the human race. You cannot change the very nature of childhood and not expect there to be dire consequences for young peopleâs mental health.
@@meganbaker9116 we need to bring them up on physical activity again instead of computers. Same applies to adults. When I stopped the gym and my dancing that's when I developed my internet addiction as the physical activity/hobby got replaced.
@@DarkAngel2512 The problem is that childrenâs independence has been eliminated. No point in advocating for more physical activity among kids as long as theyâre under adult thumbs every minute of every day. When kids were left to their own devices after school, they got LOADS of physical activity that was far superior to PE (which is a joke) and adult-directed sports leagues. The problem here is not screens, which many kids use specifically to get a few minutes or hours away from adults; the problem is adults! At least in the U.S., we have abolished childhood adventure. In their boredom and loss, young people have turned to junk food and social media, which they use for comfort just like the adults in their lives do.
They tried to shut James down because he is right! This man is a hero.
Thank you Triggernomety for letting James tell his story.
The problem is people looking for work will find something to sell, and people won't stop them. That's why wishful thinking gets sold to kids as facts. Wether it's race, history or gender, truth is a casualty.
If you dig into the CVâs of gender ideology workers youâll see HIV/AIDS workers made unemployed by the gains in treatment.
Correct
As a medical practitioner, I have said this before and I will say it again: are these young people mentally ill and suicidal because they are trans, or is it the other way round? I fear that we are doing irreparable harm if we do not fully look after them and explore what they are going through, instead of just giving them blanket affirmation
You are a genuinely healing health practitioner who uphold the do no harm principle...but not so many of you ....most are only standard guidelines practitioners affirming the mental issues and treatments leading to a dead end đđ
It's sad so many doctors and scientists that disagree with enforced narratives are silenced as fringe or providing disinformation. Censorship is a huge problem. Cancel culture has changed what people think and believe based on the real lies and propaganda of political ideology.
I know that Tony Attwood who is one of the leading Psychologists in the field of Austism and Aspergers has expressed the same concern. He expressed that there could be a explaintion that is more explanied by the ASD diagnosis. He has also been attacked. Its madness no one with any sence would question his expertise in Autism.He is literally a world expert.
I can't believe that this gentleman brought up Body Integrity Identity Disorder. I've been thinking about it ever since the trans debate became so toxic, because I remember reading about it as a child in one of my mother's magazines. There was this extraordinary article about people who had travelled to South America to have limbs amputated, and who were living happily as the physically challenged people they wanted to be. And, as adults, no matter how shocking it is to us it's their business. But if children were having the same surgeries because they felt that they shouldn't have their arms or legs we'd be rightly horrified. So many of the people accused of transphobia are actually solely focused on the safety of prepubescent children and women, and wish trans people no ill will at all.
Bodily Integrity Disorder, because the brain relates to certain parts of the body, can be shown to be most likely caused by some sort of brain damage where the brain does not fire up for the "alien" part of the body the way it does for the unaffected corresponding part of the body. (ie if the left arm is rejected the right hemisphere won't work, but the right arm not being rejected would have a very normal brain response).
This doesn't explain the teenage girls and young women. That is just self hatred and is how it is emerging for this generation. Previously "cutting" and bulimia were the go to self harm for previous generations.
@@helenn6061 many girls have dysmorphoa regarding puberty..it isnt he most fun thing to go through. It may also be an issue with lack of androgen or hormone release that is effecting how the brain pathways form in young boys.
@@DarkAngel2512 or just psychological stress? I think we don't appreciate mirrors enough. We are one of a few species who are aware that we are looking at ourselves. Just because we can recognise that is our face, doesn't mean that our psychology is always able to process that favourably.
Have you seen dogs barking at themselves in a mirror? I somehow feel that is the more real response haha
@@helenn6061 well androgen is released during fetal development and again just after and again at puberty. If the right amount isnt released at the right time it effects physical development in boys. And I havent checked but most likely effects how the brain structures aswell. This may be why trans womens brains look diff to male brains and they have more matter in certain areas. Or it could simply be nurture, not nature. As for dysmorphia that could be caused by some other psychological issue but truthfully puberty is unnerving. Your body is changing and most women dont think their genitals look nice so having those changes arent the nicest. Same with breast changes. They hurt and look strange at the inbetween stage. Some girls may want to halt that process and want to stay the same. Its understandable.
@@DarkAngel2512 trans womenâs brains look exactly the same as all menâs brains! Plz donât share fake facts
As an adult female-to-male-transitioner, I am so very grateful that I was challenged on my desire to transition and had to undergo the full year of therapeutically assisted exploration. Even if someone benefits from transition it is actually a good thing to take it slow, explore comorbidities and build realistic expectations.
As a scientist I am terrified how people get bullied out of their institutions by narrow-minded activists and coward chairmen when they straighten up in the name of proper scientific standards.
This is not only childabuse, it is also the end of reasonable science altogether.
Being in academia is like working for the mob. So glad I'm done with it.
At least you can safely leave Academia!
This is ultimate cowardice. Society is rotting. And the question posed now is what do we do about it? Stand and watch the decline or fight the valiant battle.
I agree with James - counselling is a choice to integrate oneself and only those willing to question themselves deserve the help.
Those who want affirmation donât need counselling. They are lost!
The problem is we have been watching too long telling ourselves it was no big deal. This started more than 50 years ago.
We can't have too many brave and intelligent people in society like this fella.
I had some form of "gender dysphoria" while I was a teen, as said in the video, few years later, I just fit in my body, in my gender, have a wonderful wife and child, love my life and absolutely not regret this moment where I had to find myself.
GOD, just give children some fucking space!
And BTW, I can't beleive this charity is actually called mermaids, is it for real? Do they actually know what mermaids do? They sing to charm you until it's too late...
Mermaids are hideous. Among other things, they actually give girls tips on how to wear breast binders in the sun. I'm disgusted.
@@kaye666 I know, but what I meant was "is their name a joke? are they aware that in the mythology, mermaids sing to seduce sailors and when they are close enough they kill them".
A perfect metaphor of what this organisation is actually doing to teens...
@@MrHyonD Oh now I get you! I did NOT know that. Just when I thought it couldn't get creepier.... IT DOES!
Seriously though, how can decent people not understand how damaging this is? I think people have become desensitised to the madness and now, even if you mention sterilising kids, they're like 'oh ok, must be ok then'. I'm just stunned. In what world do we arrest the puberty of healthy children for an ideology, then proceed to mutilation? I wish people would wake up!
A Good Man fighting high functioning psychopaths.
Truly
This is what bravery looks like. Go james!! These institutions and "help line" people- it's all about optics and towing the party line for these vapid ideologues. Thanks so much KK and FF, this is a conversation that deserves this attention. and I'm grateful for you guys and putting this topic front and centre.
Once your eyes are open ,you cannot go back , this has happened to me & most people that canât stand whatâs happening in all aspects of life ,,, They need to be stopped !!!!
I hope James takes his former university to the cleaners he was treated appallingly, the world needs more people like him to fight for children's rights to access correct, accurate and impartial advice. I hope it all works out for him in the end.
Great Guest! I canât wait to catch up on how he has been doing.
Jamesâs crowdfunder is still open on Crowdjustice. More funds needed for his action
Done, thanks for the heads up.
I had no idea that something called Crowdjustice existed. Thank you for sharing đ
Thanks for letting us know well worth donating to.
The entire public sector in a nutshell...
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
The MAPS people who are swanning in on the trans movement's coat tails are a HUGE worry.
how on earth has such a small percentage issue become such a huge issue ?
this is the most bizarre issue
James seems like an amazing guy and just like the therapist we need. Working, studying and volunteering at the same time? Impressive.
a LOT of these kids are just wanting to join in the "cool" they don't have dysphoria at all
Yes, thatâs definitely what Iâm seeing in my daughterâs peer group. Nearly all of them identity as LGBT in some way or another.
Iâm a 35 year old guy and when I was younger I told my parents I was a girl. What that actually meant was that I had a girl who was a friend in school who I really admired. Due to being so young I wasnât able to convey that properly at the time.
Thank god my parents had the common sense to laugh and change the subject. Who knows what could have happened if they pushed this ideology onto me instead!
I have a baby girl less than a year old and nothing keeps me up at night more than being absolutely terrified of the kind of society she is going to grow up in and the possible influences that these âactivistsâ might have on her. Immeasurably grateful to James and the others like him who are stepping up and risking their own reputations and careers to make the world a safer place for our children, where they can get the help they need if they seek it rather than being encouraged to make life-altering and devastating decisions.
I have 3 girls, 8, 10 & 13. The 8yo is Tom boyish and i do worry a helluva lot about them. The best you can do is eithet home.school them and if you cant do that, get as many friends and family on your side as you can to help if possible. It might sound wicked but you need to drill it into your kids head that this isnt normal and for heavens sake, keep them off ALL social media for as long as possible.
I was told that my 15 year old child was not allowed to go to optician without me.... just to the room for examination, I had to be present...not mentioning dentist appointment...
Woke madness. How ridiculous.
I'm confused, a child is under 18, a parent always should be present when they are at the dentist, doctor or optician in case something goes wrong.
@@drake47367 had to book a very lengthy visit at the optician's in order to fit in 3 children in such way that I would sit in the room with each one of them when their eyes are checked, not in the waiting area. What can go so wrong with a 15year old that I can not be told after their eyes are checked? Also,why can they not go to a dentist for a check up on their own? I'm not talking about doing a procedure, getting anaesthetic etc, just a check up. At the same time, if a 15 year old wants a morning after pill which is sth much more serious, she can get it without me knowing. Surely, you can see double standards and lack of consistency.
@@gosiachaaban2484 I see the double standard, any meds a child takes should be just as important as visiting a medical professional to the parents imo.
@@drake47367 but you will agree that I shouldn't be forced to book aan appointment for a regular check with an optician in such a way that I have to be in the room with my 15year old. I'm not a negligent parent just because I find it a tad ridiculous.
This man has been treated the way homosexual men were treated and demonised in the past.... sacked, cast out, octracised, silenced. My jaw is on the floor here.
Brilliant and important conversation and at the same time very disturbing and sad. What are we doing to our children?
This man is doing a fantastic job of presenting this madness in a way that makes it easier for the uninitiated to comprehend. Simple language with a genuine concern for the vulnerable. Keep up the good fight Mr. Esses!
Re assisted dying, when it becomes a law (as it has in Canada), itâs a very slippery slope. People who have reached out for food assistance are being offered medical assistance in dying as are veterans who struggle with every day living problems. The government wants to eliminate anyone who costs it money. Shameful.
Thank you for this discussion. I have a young daughter who isnât in school yet but Iâm quite frightened of what she will be learning. I think itâs heart-breaking what is happening to these children and iâm angered what so many adults are ignorant to the damage they are causing.
Move to Florida. Georgia is catching on. The school system at the state level has decided only biological females can participate in female sports and only biological males in male sports. No exceptions. It's a good step. Florida has banned all such brainwashing of school age children. Even word problems in math books were full of this insanity.
Homeschool if you can.
Whatâs really horrible is that a substantial proportion of these kids who are suddenly coming out as âtransâ are autistic. The Tavistock clinicâs records show that about 30% of the kids referred to their clinic show signs of autism. Many more had comorbidities like depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations or a history of sexual abuse. Despite all of this, none of these things were even considered as possible reasons for why all of these kids might be saying they are trans. Instead, they were affirmed without questioning and pushed down a path of medical experimentation.
All of those who participated in this barbarism should be prosecuted. UKâs secretary of health has finally peaked and is ordering an investigation into this issue and there is another independent investigation going on (the Cass Review) so some of the dirty details are finally starting to be revealed. I want to see heads roll.
This happened to me with primary teaching. I am going to sue if I can raise the funds
You may be able to get advice and legal assistance from The Free Speech Union (UK). More info on their website.
Good. I'm surprised some parents don't threaten to withdraw their children (or worse) from schools if this poison is taught to their kids.
@@chatteyj I've met people who HAVE withdrawn their children from school specifically for this reason. A question in schoolwork regarding "they/them".
Came across this interview and I'm glad to hear there are still sane people out there, who actually care for humanity, respect Mr. James Esses
Most people feel weird in their skin during puberty. It's pretty obvious why. But too many people are falling into a fantasy that changing your outside will fix the turmoil inside. This proves why Patience is such a virtue. People need to be patient with change.
TodayÂŽs children are tomorrowÂŽs adults..... canÂŽt imagine what that society is going to look
like and how it will manage itself!
@john dowe you could well be right!
This is a genuinely saddening and disturbing story. My heart goes out to the guest and those children who are being disfigured and abused.
Congratulations sir for having the courage of your convictions in the face of extraordinary pressure and for advocating for welfare of very vulnerable children.
Good on you, James. I'm so relieved there are people like you trying to restore proper therapeutic practice!
What a great dude. How has our society got to the point where we are punishing smart, caring people like this who for trying to keep children safe?
Such a great video! We absolutely NEED to have more discussions like this in society. The direction we are heading in is alarming.
Big love to Kk and FF for bringing more of the stuff we birds love â€ïž
In all seriousness - thank you to James, thank you for your integrity and for standing up for kids. Iâm a lesbian and I was 27 before I became fully comfortable to be myself. I was a tomboy as a young girl - I fear I may have been indoctrinated by this dangerous dogma if it had been around in my day. And then I would be suffering, instead of happy confident and happily married to my wife.
Every human on the trans train generates a life long Big Pharma customer, potentially generating millions of revenue dollars per person per lifetime.
âAffirmingâ children with dysphoria is now mandated in Victoria Australia and likely to be in other states. So no exploration of reasons why a child says the are not their birth sex is possible. Children like I was decades ago would now have had my life destroyed by being on the âtransâ train. I would not have had a long marriage, adult children I love and who love me and a long successful career. Leave the children alone
What a refreshing conversation! I completely agree with this being a MH condition (Gender Dysphoria) and needing talking therapies. A family friend was put into care at a young age, while Dad stayed with new wife and daughters. He tried all ways to gain his dad's approval and went through a full transition into a girl. His dad still didn't show any interest and he regretted his transition, but can never enjoy sex ever again (he will be around 40 now) just a tragic and avoidable situation.
I also have a family of Autistic people (Brother, Nephews and Sons) they can feel like they don't fit in because their brains process stuff differently (like the difference between Windows and Linux - both do same job, just differently) and can be very easily influenced! Talking therapies don't usually work with Autistic people. My eldest had some counselling but needed to be referred on to a child psychologist, as the counselling did not work for him but the psychologist did EMDR therapy and it worked a treat! So I applaud the efforts of raising issues over autism and trans because it takes a specific set of skills to be able to explore ideas with them. Great interview again trigger boys đ„°
adults need to have the courage to fight for the wellbeing of children without worrying about being called names by bullies like in a kindergarten class. it seems like most of the issues in our society are directly related to the lack of moral courage exhibited by adults.
Great to see you on here James. You are a courageous person. Your voice is so important right now.
Wow, this "Mermaid" charity person offered to mail a breast binder to a 13 year old girl anonymously. This is sick! How is this different than a pervert offering a 13 year old girl some candy/money (whatever) to do something against the girl's parent's wishes? I'm glad my kids are grown, my grandkids are grown, if "some guy/adult" mailed this device out to my daughter if she were still only 13, I feel I can honestly say it wouldn't end well for this person and if I did 25 to life I'd be fine with it. We use to call these people pedophiles for a reason, they are preying on our children! Society use to view the protection of our children as a top priority, at all costs. Where did we go wrong? In 10, 20 years time our courts will be backlogged with lawsuits from these kids (who do need help, but as this man says you don't affirm someone's anorexia) who were rushed into a life changing experiment. To dispense unproven drugs with no long term data is folly, history is full of such drugs that should never have been used: thalidomide, vioxx and on I could go. This must STOP!
The left wing has a serious unexamined problem right now. I was a leftie until the excesses of woke became very apparent, and I know for a fact that many on the left are simply overly empathetic people who will put being nice ahead of being thorough in investigating whatever social issue is being discussed. After reading Chomsky I was certain I had the world sussed. It was only twenty years later that this woke craze led me to discover Sowell, Peterson, Loury, Pinker, Haidt etc and realise that much of my empathetic certainty came from being immersed in a bubble, not from having properly educated myself on all sides of each issue. When I just refused to vote because they're all just different factions of the neoliberal elite, it was no great loss to society. When these same type of people start getting people fired for holding different, and yet more substantial opinions, then society is screwed.
Same journey for me
Glad you escaped the insanity. Fortunately I grounded myself in what I believed when I was young. I watched what happened in the world versus what the media said. It was entirely different in all respects. I real old history books and information not tainted by modern ideology. I have changed my mind evem.om widely held scientific beliefs based on scientists that are cancelled and silenced. The only reason for censorship is if it's dangerous to an ideology or what your targeted to believe by elites. Reality is so obvious to me now. It's also terrifying based on how many don't live in it.
I became much more tankie, this postmodernism has rotted the left and is complete anathema to the principles of dialectical materialism. Marx must be spinning in his grave, Engels's Origin of the Family would be cancelled as terf rhetoric.
It's so common now for me to see replies to posts I've written, but of the 4 replies on this comment, only one is visible. This censorship of expression is simply unacceptable in a liberal democracy.
Thank you Francis and Konstantin for this wonderfully informative interview. I have a long background researching this subject but haven't come across James Esses before now. He is clearly an articulate, sincere, and thoughtful person who has been unjustly vilified. I feel enormous empathy for his experience-the way he described walking by Childline and being overcome by a wave of emotion...I have been in a similar position and it's a horrible experience. James would make an exceptional therapist; we need more like him. It's profoundly concerning that it's getting harder for people in the medical profession to stand by their principles and operate under hard data rather than ideological paradigms.
I hope he kicks ass in court and is able to acquire the credentials he worked so hard for.
This issue will not stop! There is a billion Dollar industry behind this! The grade schools in North and South Dakota have already changed language to children!
I come from a world where children are perfect. They're not wrong, we are. What this means is that I know a childs mind is full of worry, confusion and anxiety.
Perfect children all share unperfect minds. Their journey through ignorance is their most important one. Imagine we changed their sex instead of actually helping them...
I was disgusted in the 90s when my kids were getting 'participation' trophies in soccer or other activities. It was ridiculous and they thought so too.It devalues what ought to be something to celebrate - providing one receives a trophy for winning or accomplishing something. It appears to me that that sort of thing was laying a kind of groundwork for things to come. Sports Days have no individual winners and so on. So, I think the point about being celebrated as being 'brave' for coming out as trans is valid. Praise in any form, even as nutty as being trans when 99+% of people are not is better than no recognition at all.
you do realize that was your generation handing those trophies out and making those other decisions, right?
When I hear these woke teachers saying that multiple of their students in their class identity as lgbtq, then there is something very seriously wrong here. Children donât like to feel left out, they donât want to feel like they are separate from the group and most significantly, children want to make adults happy. One day when these children grow up, they will realize that they werenât what these teachers and their parents encouraged. They are going to demand to know why the adults that were supposed to look out for them, didnât protect the sanctity of their minds and bodies.
Why do their teachers even know their pupils sexuality? Smh
That is tge intent of the entire thing. It's about the power of the few elite. These people have no regard for any lives or misery they cause obtaining this power.
âChildren are being irreversibly damaged.â Itâs sad that I can think of at least three major events this subject title could be referring to.
Very conservative number there
I thought this would have to do with CRT.
@@danielfioretti5049 that's right
Social media / celebrity culture / poor role models, ie corrupt politicians / climate change.....the list continues...
The lockdowns and school closures
The bit where he says Mermaids said "family isnt blood" is kind of cultists and reminds me of the bit in The Bible where Jesus says about not loving your father and mother more than Jesus and to put him above them. It's also like BLM. Dismantling the family..
Christianity is certainly NOT about dismantling family...
@@gosiachaaban2484 I didnt say it was. I was referring to one line in the book.
Luke 14:26:
If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
Matthew 10:37-39:
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy. And he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
@@DarkAngel2512 sure sounds the same to me. Of course, christainity started as cult. I think Paul made it all up myself
@@dragonfox2.058 yep. It's still a cult if we go by the original etymology. But nowadays people refer to smaller religions as cults. Tbh I'm glad Paul came along and introduced a softer version. Shame Islam didnt have the same thing.
@@DarkAngel2512 I know those lines, of course, I'm a practising Catholic. I understand it sounds strange but it certainly doesn't mean not loving your family etc, it is rather one of the arguments why we have celibacy for people with vocation. Overall, gospels you are quoting encourage loving your family ....and enemies, too.
One of the best yet, wish it went on for longer.
The disconnect between how other delusions are treated compared to with âtrans peopleâ. Is something that needs to be explored furthee
Blessing to any and all people/companies that are taking a stand against the woke madness that has descended on western society.
In the 1980's, since the50's when the concept of "the teen-ager" was born.... children have been able to choose a "tribe" to experiment with and grow out of.
Mods, rockers, hippies, glam rockers, punks, new romantics etc etc etc.
Harmless dressing up and a few embarrassing photos when you grow up that make you cringe. Nothing worse.
Being polite isn't telling the truth. The truth maybe something you don't want to hear. Why is lying seen as legitimate treatment?
'Puberty Blockers.' If this means what I think it does, this is potentially deeply dystopian, or it already is? Sounds it? Who's encouraging this ideology? Children are still children at 20. Is this some kind of ideological grooming?
It's horrific, and despite the what the alphabet cult might say we don't know what the long term effects if putting kids on these drugs is, it's very unlikely to be good.
yes, it is and it VERY profitable for the medical industry
@@ferrumignis I think we know what the long term effects will be: catastrophic for many. This feels like an experiment Nazi doctors could concoct.
It's a woke leftist ideology just like social justice that's straight from the marxist manifesto. Interaectionality ties right into it making violence ok towards anyone who disagrees since disagreement is considered violence speech when in reality only violence is violence. It's utter insanity
I have so much empathy for this man. He's an honest genuine and just therapist. He should be praised not judged. The people that turned their back on him should be fired and cut out
This is my favorite guest you've had on to discuss transitioning children. The way he explains it is really easy to understand.
