My thought with the Fox News quote "Protect our daughters! All children deserve a safe childhood!": Yes! All children do deserve a safe childhood and we do need to protect our daughters! Trans children deserve to feel safe and accepted, including trans daughters! Accepting our children regardless of their gender and if they're trans or not protects them all from feeling less than and anything else.
Exactly what I was thinking! "Protect our children" - Yes, especially our LGBTI+ children. "Protect women" - Yes, especially trans women. Plus, trans men and NB / GF folk exist!!!!
@@dustygania2425 Yes there are. They socially transition, wearing the clothes they prefer til they can get some help from doctors. It starts young for some of them.
I always get hung up on the ‘protect your daughters’ because they don’t do the same thing for trans men and young boys. There’s some underlying sexism there.
I mean it does make sense based on context to say these things gender specific (not bc it’s less important that (cis/trans) boys are protected or it’s not as bad when SA happens to them but rather bc things like grooming and SA happens way more with women and girls, or things like child marriage etc.). But if you talk about “protect our daughters” in a context that clearly wants to paint trans ppl for example as predators it’s like… y’all act as if girls safety is important to, yet y’all do nothing against the biggest predator group which are (straight) men. (Of course the problem is not genetic but socialization of men - bc SA/DV definitely is a gender specific crime). Soo… doing nothing against sexism/misogyny but still acting as if the safety of daughters is important to you. BS.
Also they seem to miss that their "solution" where people have to use the facilities matching their birth assigned sex means they're actually PUTTING men in women's facilities because trans men will be forced into women's bathrooms and changing areas. It's like they completely forget there are trans people that aren't women...
It's the blatant manipulation of language that always gets me. They'll define a woman as an adult human female but then almost exclusively discuss their transphobic views using "girls" and "men". There could be a 18 year old cis woman and a 13 year old transgirl and they would still call the cis woman a "girl" and the trans girl a "man" because so much of their bs relies on the false idea that adult cis men are posing as women to attack underaged cis girls.
They say, as they use the blatantly political term: "cis". Honestly, one thing that scare me is that we don't even talk the same anymore, you can tell what someone believes anymore just by the words they use.
Also, if the risk of rape is a non-issue, why do you think gendered bathrooms existed to begin with? Its almost like men and women are different, and their are alot of men that are creeps, perverts, and much, much worse. I get that progressives want a better world, but do you guys think about what would happen if something went wrong?
Wanna keep your daughters and sons safe from predators? Don't let them go to church. Seems like that's where most of the predators based on arrest records.
Which is weird, because it's a religious place, so every one would be discouraged from doing anything. But maybe those religious figures just have god complexes
“Every girl deserves a safe childhood.” They say that like boys dont and like they actually do anything about sexual assault and rape cases. Its not my fault I thought that it was right until three years later, so why didn’t anybody do anything? Edit: my child brain does not understand these big words
@maverickhuntersnow3861 A threat??!!! for what?!?? wanting safety?!?! being abused?!?! that is so fucked up! (Also OP I'm so sorry you went through that my heart goes out to you 💖)
@maverickhuntersnow3861 Definitely all comes down to sexism. It is seen as weak to for a man to be abused because men are supposed to "dominate" and the "strong ones" so it's seen as weak or out of place for a man to be abused by a woman cos she is "weak" and he should be able to over power her. it's the same reason why people turn a blind eye to men getting abused by men because how could a strong dominant man be abused by another strong dominant man in a relationship? they can overpower each other right? it's the same reason why women being abused by women is overlooked: they're both weak٫ fragile women who must be protected٫ projected how could a sweet innocent woman abuse another woman? girls stick together right? It all comes down to sexism and it needs to stop because these bigoted and close minded ideas hurt so many SA٫ DV٫ and other abuse victims.
They say that despite some states trying to push for lowering the age of marriage to 11 years old. "deserves a childhood"... Yeah right... Some childhood they promise.
@@astarriknight I mean SA/DV etc. are inherently about power dynamics. It's always about disrespecting boundaries, feeling falsely entitled to someone elses body, etc. and demonstrating power. That's why this is a genderspecific crime (bc misogyny, I mean the ratio very clearly is not 50/50, not with victims nor predators) and should definitely be getting a focus on that (hate what about men, not all men comments under women talking about SA). But also of course it's important to generally talk about it, bc of course it happens to men as well (even though even then men are mostly the perpetrators) and of course women can be predators too. Both is important. Most SA/DV is done by men to women. Is that genetic? Of course not. The problem is socialisation of men and the gender injustice and discrimination. Those ppl see women as less, as weaker, as inferior. And when a woman is not there, they go to men that they deem less, bc maybe they behave "feminine" or "gay" (which in their eyes means feminine = women = weak). I mean even with men as victims the biggest group of predators is men. Of course women can be predators as well and if that's the case it's of course as important to talk about it but yeah. Toxic masculinity = misandry and misogyny lead to this kind of shit. And transphobes i mean.... it's so funny to me how bigots are like "feminists are misandrists and see every men as a threat" (which obviously isn't the case) but then their hatred for men and them generalizing men as predators is so big that they deem trans women or gay men as groomers and predators. like what the hell? But the funniest thing is that misogynistic transphobes/homophobes are basically holding hands with TERFS in that kinda situation which is so unreal to me. 🤡
@@astarriknight Also there's the undercurrent of infantilization of women and adultification of boys going on there, too: a boy is a "threat" to grown women because CLEARLY even little boys are more powerful than full-grown women, women are so very WEAK after all, DON'TCHA KNOW EVEN A LITTLE MAN CAN OVERTAKE A WOMAN. (please watch your step there's about 4 inches of disgusted sarcasm on the floor) It's basically the darker, even more depressing flipside of "you're the man of the house when your dad isn't here" where like the 9 y.o. boy gets told that he's somehow now responsible for and in control of his grown-ass mother.
I keep forgetting our boy has a PhD. Jamie's probably one of the most qualified people on earth to talk about trans related stuff since I believe he even did his dissertation on the topic. It's great to have him on CZcams giving deeply researched opinions and debunking the transphobes with FACTS and LOGIC, as the transphobes like to say.
Bigots like transphobes always claim they have facts on their side but they never actually do At Best they have a kindergarten level understanding of biology and it makes them very angy/uncomfortable when it’s challenged.
trans issues are multifaceted... I wouldn't necessarily defer to a biochemist for info on clinical psychology or vice versa, or to either for legal scholarship or historical/cultural perspectives. tbh, a lot of ppl with medical and epidemiology degrees said incorrect things during the pandemic, so PhDs are not immune to corruption, grift, or just plain mistakes.
Transphobia by its very nature is predatory behaviour. Transphobes are predators. And not in the cool science of action movie sense. They are predatory people who set out to hurt people on purpose. And they are obsessed with genitals.
I really, _really_ don't like "love the sinner, hate the sin", because they just use it to dress up their hate as "love". They don't behave any less hateful.
It's also found nowhere in the Bible. There are tons of passages conflating the sinner and the sin, and calling for them to be punished accordingly. Three guesses which passages are the favorites for homophobes to whip out.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 true, I do remember seeing that in the Old Testament. Are there any in the new testament? I know a lot of Christians use the OT as fuel when they shouldn't (Christians follow NT) but I'd like proof from sources Christians are supposed to follow. 🤩
14:00-15:16 My little brother was perscribed puberty blockers for precocious puberty. Do they really think that doctors are perscribing things that arent FDA approved? Or do they think that new medications don't need to be tested a million ways from Sunday to get FDA approval?
They literally claim that since the same meds used as puberty blockers are _also_ used in treatment of some end-stage hormone-responding cancers, the mortality rate associated with taking these meds (which is high due to the whole "end-stage cancer" thing) is an inherent property of the meds and so anyone taking them as puberty blockers/delayers must also be subject to the same mortality rate. It's category-essentialism; the same bad reasoning that leads to "we categorize trans women with cis men, so trans women by definition have the same SA rates as cis men" and more generally "there's a statistical difference between these two categories, therefore the exact details about where we've chosen to divide the categories is an absolute reality and the difference in averages is a property of every member of the categories."
Yep, I am a cis man, and I was on a blocker for 7 years as a kid for adrenal hyperplasia (I showed signs of entering precocious puberty when I was 6). There was zero controversy in the early 2000s when I was on them.
I mean some transphobes have argued that 6 year old trans kids with precocious puberty should be denied blockers and forced to go through puberty way too early "to teach them a lesson". So I think that question can be truncated at "Or do they think?".
These same people will claim that it's unnatural or unhealthy for trans kids to delay puberty until the age of 15 or 16 (when they can start hormone therapy), ignoring the fact that many cis kids go through puberty late, too, and that it's well known in the medical community that going through puberty late doesn't result in any negative health outcomes, in cis or trans kids. I'm cis and I didn't get my first period until I was 15. Temporarily, delayed puberty does cause some differences from normally developing peers (including temporarily lower bone density), but in the end, the only difference is that people who go through puberty late tend to be a bit taller (personally, I'm about 2 inches taller than my fraternal twin sister who went through puberty on a more typical timeline 😁).
@@arctixthefoxix8265 You do realize lgbt people are born lgbt, meaning right now their are over 108.7 million lgbt children in the world. 21.7 million of which are trans kids.
@@arctixthefoxix8265 Being lgbt is how you are born, trans kids often know something is off as young as 3, and something is severely wrong at puberty, so pre-puberty allowing them to socially transition can really help them, at around 11 have them on blockers to give them more time to mature and figure themselves out, then at 16 if they realize they aren't trans they go off the blockers and go through their biological puberty, but if they are trans they can stop and start hrt to go through the opposite puberty, and at 18 if they did the previous steps the only thing they need is bottom surgery if they desire it, but if they don't do any of the steps above ftm's will need top surgery and mtf's will need adam's apple removal, facial feminizing, voice train, and some things like shoulder width will be permanent. And of course that's if they make it to 18 because if they are not allowed to be themselves and are in an unsupported family then suicide is very common.
To offset all this i have a good thing I saw. I live in a small conservative shit hole as a trans woman, so woohoo... BUT and i think it was the lgbt club/resource center; there was a little sign that was the progress flag and it said "you are loved, you are seen, you are valid". Made my day
Oh bless, that's so lovely! I'm cis-pan and live in a super liberal part of the world. The city centre has a rainbow roundabout that they recently re-painted from just Pride colours to the Progress flag. I'm really, really thankful to live here because while I'm not loud about being pan (I don't think it really matters, I've been married for over 16 years), my wife has only very recently accepted her identity as a transwoman.

It's always a three-line dialogue: Person: Okay, there's this word, "woman," that isn't quite as clearly defined as you seem to be assuming... Transphobe: No, it's simple! "Woman" just means "adult human female." Person: Okay, so there are these three words...

Regarding the "twins" billboard, if I remember correctly, the photos are of the same guy. Also, do these people think that if parents have twins they decide, "well I guess we have to raise one to be gay". Twins are raised together, so whatever parents do to one, they usually do to the other. 🤷🤦🙄
Maybe the twins were in different classes and the teacher taught one of them to be gay. /s Idk, man.. bigoted people seem to not think things through all the way.. like they don't want trans women in women's bathrooms, but they would probably also not happy with a bearded trans man in there either - since by their logic trans men are women.

They think I'm retarded because I cannot see the RIGHT point of view and dont see reality. Apparently not, the weird messed up one you're looking at.
I'm laughing at the twin thing. I'm an identical twin and me and my sister have been part of research into twins since before we were born (basically when they found out it was gonna be twins the doctor spoke to my mum about Teds and she signed us up lol) Anyways I am a demisexual bisexual trans man and my twin sister is a pansexual cis woman. Pretty sure it's something we are born as. What a stupid advert.

Really interesting science and research behind twins and sexuality! That billboard is entirely incorrect. Comparisons in studies have been made to look at the concordance rates for sexuality in identical and fraternal twins. An interesting difference is that the rates are over 100% higher for identical twins than fraternal twins, the rate for identical twins being roughly 25-50%, and the rate for fraternal twins being around 9-22%. This is taken to mean that genetic factors do, in fact, play a role in sexual orientation, considering identical twins have the same genetic makeup as each other, and fraternal twins do not. Studies show that the main factors that go into this are genetic and environmental, meaning that yes, it is natural.
There's an adjacent interesting study (about gay people), where straight people with gay opposite-gender siblings end up on average having more children than straight people with straight opposite-gender siblings or straight people without siblings. The evolutionary theories floating around are that gay and trans people have genes that are beneficial in human reproduction when it lands on straight people; genes that makes someone seek out male or female partners more actively than the norm and thus get first pick of good partners, and genes that make someone more masculine or feminine, enhancing their attractiveness as partners. Basically, it's advantageous traits that turn out harmless when it's expressed in non cishet humans and just one of the many, many, MANY quirks in our DNA.
Similar twin studies done on trans people have found a 20-40% concordance, which is statistically significant, and does suggest a likely genetic factor.
Yep. Like by their logic you can't be born with an autoimmune condition. Because I know someone who was born with an autoimmune condition whose twin was not. To paraphrase their ad "One twin born with an autoimmune condition, one not, this proves no one is born with an autoimmune condition". Same logic.

@kyrathedragonshark5455 I'm not in a relationship either and also have never been in one before, so I can just tell you what I heard: Aroace people may be in QPRs (queer platonic relationship), which is a relationship, which's neither sexual nor romantic but also not purely platonic. They may as well simply not be in a relationship at all. Or they could, for example, be demiromantic and asexual, but use aroace to describe themselves, so they might feel romantic attraction to people they are close to. When an aroace person is in a relationship with an allo (allo=not aro/ace) person communication is key!

Actual analysis of the original(?) Hebrew condemns rape. "A large portion of Leviticus 18 proscribes the divine condemnation of incest. Initially, the relationship of Lev. 18:22 to incest in Lev. 18:6-17 is not obvious, especially in comparison to Lev. 18:18-23. The comparison of Lev. 18:22 to the repetition of miškevē ‘iššâ(“lyings of a woman”) in Lev 20:13, uncovers a parallel relationship to incest. While Leviticus 18 focuses on the forbidden sexual relationships, Leviticus 20 focuses on the punishment for participating in such relationships. The laws are reordered in Leviticus 20 to emphasize consequences of deviant relationships. Themiškevē ‘iššâis an act that is punished identically to other acts that are clearly incestuous. Therefore, the likely meaning of miškevē ‘iššârefers more to incestuous male-male rape as opposed to all erotic, same-sex relationships."

Yeah, I was almost put on puberty blockers about... What can it have been, maybe 33 years ago. The only reason I didn't get on them was that when it was brought up as an option, my puberty kind of already had started. I was about 8 or 9 at the time, so very early. But no one was freaking out about those meds back then, as a matter of fact, they seemed a bit disappointed in themselves for not catching on to the fact that puberty was about to start before it did.

In fairness, the Levitical writer did have a point: if you're having sex with a trans guy, you should NOT be treating him like a woman. (Unless it's a pre-negotiated kink thing, obviously.)
To be fair, it's understood by linguistic historians that the "you shall not lie with a man as with a woman" is a mistranslation, and it should read more like "you shall not lie with a young boy as with a woman". Wonder why the church wanted to change that one... >->....
@@OdinsSage Oh, I know that particular line along with many others are deemed mistranslations by many biblical scholars. As we learn more about the Dead Sea scrolls, we see quite a few differences to the modernized texts appearing in Christian bibles. What I consider far more important is the fact that morality and ethics has massively changed from the Bronze Age to today. Part of the reason right wingers pick and choose which parts of the Bible they follow is to avoid admitting that.
Also that rape is considered a property crime against the father, so you just need to pay him a fine for damages and, oh look, you've got yourself a bride.

I don't think women should have to share certain spaces with men which is why trans men should not be going to the women's restrooms or locker rooms.

"All children deserve a safe childhood." Absolutely agree that every single child deserves a safe & happy childhood & that includes kids who are no cis &/or straight. Something that always annoys me is when a homophobe or transphobe saying that they just want kids be kids yet what they usually mean is let them be kids that are forced into gender roles instead of actually letting them be themselves. There's nothing wrong with if a child wants to play with a toy that is considered to match their perceived gender. However, it's wrong when they're forced to do it simply because of their gender. What a lot of people with the mindset that child are getting indoctrinated or pushed into being gay, trans, non-binary, etc fail to understand is that letting kids express themselves as who they are, dressing in clothing they like, playing with toys they like, etc is actually letting them be themselves & not indoctrination. U know what is actually indoctrination? Forcing kids to fit themselves into a gender role or gender stereotypes based solely on their gender
Huh?? You keep bringing up kids but "kids" can't do lots of things like holding full time jobs, joining the military, smoking, drinking, getting married, getting tattoos, driving cars, and so many other things. Children aren't oppressed, they have been given in Western society a space to develop into adults. You keep saying kids but kids is a protected category.
Yep. Especially when they argue that "kids are too young to know if they are trans or not". Because by that logic, if you don't know if you're trans, you don't know if you're cis. So should all kids be forced onto puberty blockers until 18 when they are "old enough" to know if they are trans? I've been constantly "informed" that if I "just wait for puberty you'll grow out of it and be glad you didn't mutilate yourself". Yeah, puberty was torture, like I literally said that all the time when I was going through it (and got laughed at by every adult), and also over half my life ago, I think it's a bit late. I was forced to conform to my assumed gender and no one had a problem with that, even though I was miserable.
@waffles3629 That's horrible. I'm sorry you had to endure going through that and not being able to be yourself. What blows my mind is that we've been using puberty blockers for years for cis kids, so why would it be any different for a trans kid. Let them go on puberty blockers, and if they discover they're not trans they can just stop taking them and go through puberty. If they are trans then we do less harm by letting them continue the process of transitioning however far they want to go. I also hate the whole "mutilating your body" bs because then you would have to say that just about any surgery is "mutilating your body." It's all just nonsense to hate on people for being themselves & it's disgusting that they're using kids to push these horrible beliefs
3:10 it's somewhat amusing because that photo can be read in 1 of 2 ways. There is the intended message, that "the cis girl should not be in a locker room with trans girls" Disagree btw, and there is the unintended message that trans girls should not be in a locker room with cis men, which I do agree with. Nice little double meaning there, and failed transphobia.
I started puberty when I was about six or seven, and got my period when I was eight, and doctors recommended puberty blockers because the rush of hormones ( paired with shite genetics, religious trauma and bullying ) were making me very depressed. My parents refused because they saw it as a trans kid thing. Over the years I have been having depressive episodes, suicidal tendencies, nearly got sepsis from an infected wound after self harming with a rusty nail, huge chunks of school missed, etc. it’s safe to say that I regret NOT taking the puberty blockers, cos I might have been a little less fucked up.
@@TheBigJayAgenda I don’t think so, they’ve gotten a lot better since my brother came out as trans and they actually learnt about being transgender/hormone blockers. My parents weren’t the best at the time but we r a little bit more functional now.
@@DatLobster Ok good. But they were definitely abusive. Birth control is usually seen as an anti-baby thing but my parents let me go on it to stop my periods.
I really hate the 'adult human female' thing not just because it's transphobic, but because all it does is change the argument being had from deining woman to defining female
It's good rhetoric though. If you try to answer the question then you automatically lose the debate, because you're painting yourself as as an out-of-touch academic with no common sense. It's a good debate trick: Ask what seems like a simple question but really isn't, then make your opponent look dumb because they can't give a simple answer.
Not sure if it was Rowan Ellis or another CZcamsr that did a breakdown of the 3 words. No universally accepted age of "adulthood"...the issue you pointed out with female being just as fraught with questions. And the history of treating marginalized groups as "less than human." Totally diff video (forgetting even a ballpark guess on that youtuber) made the great linguistic point that human brains tend to define things by grouping examples, because it can be hard to come up with universal definitions for many words. Hence that time GL was asked to give a chair definition, and people pointed out a horse fit his definition
@@ekrtznekrtz5229 You don't. It's a word with a lot of edge cases, and that tends to vary over time. Two hundred years ago, people could be considered adults and ready to marry at sixteen. Their idea of woman would be considered a girl today. The term 'female' has different definitions not just in biology and in anthropology, but in different fields of biology as well. It's a deceptively complicated question.
The only things on my trans agenda are enjoying the gloves i just made from yarn that's the same colors as the trans flag, and also trying not to psych myself out of asking my doctor about starting hrt when i see her next month
18:05 That just reminded me of a German Snickers commercial with a bunch of dude in the changing room after a football game, and one drag queen (I think it was). It went pretty much the same way. Mars could earn so many brownie points if they dared to flip the script on those ads. Like, why not have a bunch of queens on a night out with a grumpy guy in their middle, who turns absolutely fabulous and starts to party after having a Snickers? Have those two (and other similar) ads run in the same campaign, and everyone will be happy. Well, except for bigots, but those will never be happy.

It really grinds my gears when people say trans children don't exist. How the hell do you think trans adults exist??? Do you think they spawn fully formed???
Oh no, they think adults just wake up one day and decide to be trans. But kids are too young to know if they are trans so therefore trans kids don't exist. Even though by that logic kids are too young to know if they are cis. Because if you can't know if you're trans, you can't know if you're cis. But if you point that out you get called a groomer.
Regarding safety trials for puberty blockers: Presumably those trials were conducted before those medications were first used for precocious puberty, decades ago. Asking for safety trials NOW is like asking for safety trials for aspirin every time someone has a headache.
Yep, like it's puberty blockers, they stop puberty. Doesn't really matter why you want it to stop, it's already been determined safe to use to stop puberty. Efficacy trials if it was being used for a new reason, sure, that would make sense, but trans people are still using them for puberty.
They are trying to pass a bunch of these anti trans laws, here in Iowa. Tomorrow, they are trying to pass one that would make trans people have to have their gender and their gender identity on their birth certificates. It goes to subcommittee tomorrow. Then it would have to go to committee,etc. Hopefully, it doesn’t get passed subcommittee. They have several other anti trans bills that they are trying to pass through our (funnel week).
8:06 woooooo! 10:16 someone once said that asking if human nature was determined by nature or nurture was like like asking if the area of a field was determined by its length or width.
15:42 The Click mentions this theory whenever he runs into this ‘I changed my sexuality to be socially acceptable’ kinda thing, might have picked it up from him
Any Christian who says, "Love the sinner, hate the sin," when referring to homosexuality should be reminded of the two commandments of Christ. These two commandments give the lie to the anti-gay passages of the Old Testament and the grossly mistranslated passages of the New Testament which extremists have caused to be perceived as anti-gay. Thus, according to Christ, there is no sin in homosexuality, and, surely, Christians should be listening to Him rather than base prejudice.
To the people wanting to protect kids, they were the same people in utah that were attacking a cisgendered female student because she was good at sports last week. the doxxed, threatened her and even caused the school to have to call in police protection for her and her family. The transphobes blamed the government for not passing anti trans laws sooner. This all started because a school board member posted on facebook implying she was trans, as if that makes it any better. The school board member, one Natalie Cline has a history of attacking trans people and justifying vilolence against them. It has gotten so bad that even the Republican government including the Governor and Lt Govenor have called for her dismisal.
@vinnrat exactly. I remember seeing a proposed bill (don't remember if it passed) that would allow anyone to challenge if an athlete was trans, and they would be barred from playing until they had a medical exam to prove they weren't. Which of course would have to be on the parents dime, because medical care isn't free in the US. And of course by "exam" they meant "genital inspection". Like ah yes, let's just force kids to strip in order to...play sports??
12:06 I understand what Jammi is saying, but I also think some people may believe they are gay, bi, pan, or other and discover they are not that orientation. Some people might experience that and think that it was a choice the whole time then think they are “ex-gay” (not a real thing). I do think that it is a sad thing to not be able to accept yourself, or to force yourself to be different for others who aren’t accepting. But I was hearing what Jammi was saying and it could be heard as, “If you think you are gay, you are.” This is definitely a way a homophobe would hear it. The comment isn’t ill-mannered, and I know this is from a place of concern. Just wanted to get my thought out there too.
I'm in the US, and although I think there was a single-occupancy restroom in the teachers' lounge, they mostly just used the same restrooms as the rest of us. I ran into my (male) teachers in the restroom all the time, and we would even talk about assignments and stuff.
@@electronics-girl Interesting, my school I went to till year 10 was a P-10, even the high school and primary school had their own toilet blocks because the primary toilets were shorter
@@coasttocoast2011 I was mostly talking about my high school (9-12), but I think it was the case in elementary school and junior high, as well. But I'm not as sure for those.
My schools in Western Australia took it even further than that. First grade had 1 unisex bathroom (for the 2 classes of year 1s), from years 2 to 7 had 6 bathrooms across the school, boys and girls, and then split into year groups (2+3, 4+5, 6+7). And high school was the same: boys and girls bathrooms for lower (years 8-10) and upper school (years 11+12), so there wouldn't be any year 12s in the same bathroom with a year 8. And teachers had their own bathroom
As I'm trying to watch this lightheartedly and get my mind off of negativity, today is a very sad day for me. We had a president election in Finland and a right winged president won, and the main reason to that is because his opponent was a gay man. So people voted for the other option just because they don't want a gay president. Some days I just really feel hopeless
The funny thing to me is that religious folk always say “it’s apart of gods plan” towards everything, and yet somehow the LGBTQ+ isn't? If god was such a powerful being he could’ve just willed queer and trans people out of existence, no? Not to mention that god themself transcends the human concepts of sex, yet is typically referred to by male pronouns. God also doesn’t have a defined sexuality either. The whole concept of religion being against queer and trans folk is just so incredibly ridiculous, and is only used to spread hate.
CZcams is running all sorts of them, as well as racist. And there is no way to complain or block the offensive commercials like we can idiot creators. I can't even troll them!
I remember when I used to love those tshirts that said "woman : adult human female". My English was not that great, I hadn't gotten the implied meaning behind 'female', and thought the intention was to say "There is no wrong way to be a woman, you just need to identify as such" Thankfully I never wore one 🥲
I'm a native English speaker, but as someone who was raised with very strict gender roles, I first read it that way, too. I was like, "Hell yes I'm a woman because I'm a woman! Doesn't matter whether I act "feminine" or not!" I pinned that and several things like it before I realized it was just transphobia. 😔
So many of their "fool proof" arguments revolve around, "It's in the dictionary!" Which is generally a sign of a poor argument as words change over time, geography, and language.
In my experience, messages like that are often obfuscated on purpose. They're /designed/ to be easy to agree with even for people who are completely neutral or ignorant about the stance the slogan is saying something about, because bigots know, at least subconsciously, that nobody is going to agree with them blatantly screaming "i hate [x minority] for no good reason!" This is the same reason that some bigots say things like, "Well, you don't want MEN in WOMEN'S restrooms, do you??" because if people say ANYTHING that isn't a, "of course not", then the bigot has room to jump in and say "SO YOU AGREE WITH [INSERT HORRIBLE CRIME HERE]?!". It's just sneaky. They don't care about logic or facts or science, they don't care if they're right, they just want to /be/ right and to convince everyone else they /are/ right by any means necessary - even if that means they have to use manipulatively-worded questions and shout over the top of anyone who tries to bring up nuance.

As a religious, bisexual, Jewish mama, there is no being "saved" by religion. To each their own.

Not gonna lie, Jamie, your videos keep me sane as a genderqueer person in an Evangelical Baptist household (aka they take the Bible literally and don't pick and choose any of it). Thank you so, so much for doing what you do.
why try to extract meaning out of dictionary definitions, that is the most neutral source you can try to derive bigotry out of, it’s like trying to squeeze bullshit outta stone goddamn
Dictionaries are also constantly updating their definitions to reflect changes in words are actually used. Like, look up "words that are their own antonyms"; words are completely contextual
Yeah, I'd be uncomfortable with my daughter having to use changing rooms with men. If I had a trans daughter, I'd absolutely want her to be safe and be in the women's changing room where she belongs. She wouldn't belong in the men's room any more than I as a trans dude belong in the women's. As for our nonbinary friends, the pool in my hometown actually had three changing rooms: men's, women's, and mixed, which was for families and anyone could go in.

I always get hung up on the ‘protect your daughters’ because they don’t do the same thing for trans men and young boys. There’s some underlying sexism there.
Trust me its not underlying its in all of our faces
Aren't they supposed to be the one who (will) protect? A warrior's training starts early!
100%
I mean it does make sense based on context to say these things gender specific (not bc it’s less important that (cis/trans) boys are protected or it’s not as bad when SA happens to them but rather bc things like grooming and SA happens way more with women and girls, or things like child marriage etc.). But if you talk about “protect our daughters” in a context that clearly wants to paint trans ppl for example as predators it’s like… y’all act as if girls safety is important to, yet y’all do nothing against the biggest predator group which are (straight) men. (Of course the problem is not genetic but socialization of men - bc SA/DV definitely is a gender specific crime). Soo… doing nothing against sexism/misogyny but still acting as if the safety of daughters is important to you. BS.
Also they seem to miss that their "solution" where people have to use the facilities matching their birth assigned sex means they're actually PUTTING men in women's facilities because trans men will be forced into women's bathrooms and changing areas. It's like they completely forget there are trans people that aren't women...
It's the blatant manipulation of language that always gets me. They'll define a woman as an adult human female but then almost exclusively discuss their transphobic views using "girls" and "men". There could be a 18 year old cis woman and a 13 year old transgirl and they would still call the cis woman a "girl" and the trans girl a "man" because so much of their bs relies on the false idea that adult cis men are posing as women to attack underaged cis girls.
Words increasingly have less and less actual meaning with these people. It's all "vibes", and increasingly less any actual definition.
Not wrong, words are a powerfull tool, you might need to learn to twist them a little if you wanna win against serpents
@@christopherb501 that's part of the point, if they were specific definitions, they might fragment their audience, which would be very bad news
They say, as they use the blatantly political term: "cis". Honestly, one thing that scare me is that we don't even talk the same anymore, you can tell what someone believes anymore just by the words they use.
Also, if the risk of rape is a non-issue, why do you think gendered bathrooms existed to begin with? Its almost like men and women are different, and their are alot of men that are creeps, perverts, and much, much worse. I get that progressives want a better world, but do you guys think about what would happen if something went wrong?
Wanna keep your daughters and sons safe from predators? Don't let them go to church. Seems like that's where most of the predators based on arrest records.
Which is weird, because it's a religious place, so every one would be discouraged from doing anything. But maybe those religious figures just have god complexes

“Every girl deserves a safe childhood.” They say that like boys dont and like they actually do anything about sexual assault and rape cases. Its not my fault I thought that it was right until three years later, so why didn’t anybody do anything?
Edit: my child brain does not understand these big words
@maverickhuntersnow3861 A threat??!!! for what?!?? wanting safety?!?! being abused?!?! that is so fucked up! (Also OP I'm so sorry you went through that my heart goes out to you 💖)
@maverickhuntersnow3861 Definitely all comes down to sexism. It is seen as weak to for a man to be abused because men are supposed to "dominate" and the "strong ones" so it's seen as weak or out of place for a man to be abused by a woman cos she is "weak" and he should be able to over power her. it's the same reason why people turn a blind eye to men getting abused by men because how could a strong dominant man be abused by another strong dominant man in a relationship? they can overpower each other right? it's the same reason why women being abused by women is overlooked: they're both weak٫ fragile women who must be protected٫ projected how could a sweet innocent woman abuse another woman? girls stick together right? It all comes down to sexism and it needs to stop because these bigoted and close minded ideas hurt so many SA٫ DV٫ and other abuse victims.
They say that despite some states trying to push for lowering the age of marriage to 11 years old.
"deserves a childhood"... Yeah right... Some childhood they promise.
@@astarriknight I mean SA/DV etc. are inherently about power dynamics. It's always about disrespecting boundaries, feeling falsely entitled to someone elses body, etc. and demonstrating power. That's why this is a genderspecific crime (bc misogyny, I mean the ratio very clearly is not 50/50, not with victims nor predators) and should definitely be getting a focus on that (hate what about men, not all men comments under women talking about SA). But also of course it's important to generally talk about it, bc of course it happens to men as well (even though even then men are mostly the perpetrators) and of course women can be predators too. Both is important. Most SA/DV is done by men to women. Is that genetic? Of course not. The problem is socialisation of men and the gender injustice and discrimination. Those ppl see women as less, as weaker, as inferior. And when a woman is not there, they go to men that they deem less, bc maybe they behave "feminine" or "gay" (which in their eyes means feminine = women = weak). I mean even with men as victims the biggest group of predators is men. Of course women can be predators as well and if that's the case it's of course as important to talk about it but yeah. Toxic masculinity = misandry and misogyny lead to this kind of shit. And transphobes i mean.... it's so funny to me how bigots are like "feminists are misandrists and see every men as a threat" (which obviously isn't the case) but then their hatred for men and them generalizing men as predators is so big that they deem trans women or gay men as groomers and predators. like what the hell? But the funniest thing is that misogynistic transphobes/homophobes are basically holding hands with TERFS in that kinda situation which is so unreal to me. 🤡
@@astarriknight Also there's the undercurrent of infantilization of women and adultification of boys going on there, too: a boy is a "threat" to grown women because CLEARLY even little boys are more powerful than full-grown women, women are so very WEAK after all, DON'TCHA KNOW EVEN A LITTLE MAN CAN OVERTAKE A WOMAN.

Transphobia by its very nature is predatory behaviour. Transphobes are predators. And not in the cool science of action movie sense. They are predatory people who set out to hurt people on purpose. And they are obsessed with genitals.

It's also found nowhere in the Bible. There are tons of passages conflating the sinner and the sin, and calling for them to be punished accordingly. Three guesses which passages are the favorites for homophobes to whip out.

14:00-15:16 My little brother was perscribed puberty blockers for precocious puberty. Do they really think that doctors are perscribing things that arent FDA approved? Or do they think that new medications don't need to be tested a million ways from Sunday to get FDA approval?
They literally claim that since the same meds used as puberty blockers are _also_ used in treatment of some end-stage hormone-responding cancers, the mortality rate associated with taking these meds (which is high due to the whole "end-stage cancer" thing) is an inherent property of the meds and so anyone taking them as puberty blockers/delayers must also be subject to the same mortality rate. It's category-essentialism; the same bad reasoning that leads to "we categorize trans women with cis men, so trans women by definition have the same SA rates as cis men" and more generally "there's a statistical difference between these two categories, therefore the exact details about where we've chosen to divide the categories is an absolute reality and the difference in averages is a property of every member of the categories."
Yep, I am a cis man, and I was on a blocker for 7 years as a kid for adrenal hyperplasia (I showed signs of entering precocious puberty when I was 6). There was zero controversy in the early 2000s when I was on them.
I mean some transphobes have argued that 6 year old trans kids with precocious puberty should be denied blockers and forced to go through puberty way too early "to teach them a lesson". So I think that question can be truncated at "Or do they think?".
These same people will claim that it's unnatural or unhealthy for trans kids to delay puberty until the age of 15 or 16 (when they can start hormone therapy), ignoring the fact that many cis kids go through puberty late, too, and that it's well known in the medical community that going through puberty late doesn't result in any negative health outcomes, in cis or trans kids. I'm cis and I didn't get my first period until I was 15. Temporarily, delayed puberty does cause some differences from normally developing peers (including temporarily lower bone density), but in the end, the only difference is that people who go through puberty late tend to be a bit taller (personally, I'm about 2 inches taller than my fraternal twin sister who went through puberty on a more typical timeline 😁).

The city centre has a rainbow roundabout that they recently re-painted from just Pride colours to the Progress flag. I'm really, really thankful to live here because while I'm not loud about being pan (I don't think it really matters, I've been married for over 16 years), my wife has only very recently accepted her identity as a transwoman.
Seeing a pride flag anywhere or any representation makes me extremely happy, it makes me happy because I can see that people support us and that I and others are not alone out here. - Marshall
As we’ve said before conservatives can’t agree on the definition of adult right now, so let’s start there.
It's always a three-line dialogue:
Person: Okay, there's this word, "woman," that isn't quite as clearly defined as you seem to be assuming...
Transphobe: No, it's simple! "Woman" just means "adult human female."
Person: Okay, so there are these three words...
If you'll ask a pastor the answer will probably be anything that moves above the age of one year old
Yeah, they both think a 13/16 year old can be considered adult, but at the same time they can't even dream of respecting the opinions of someone under 40

@@Bunny_Bill those are terms in the gay, particularly gay male community. A young relatively hairless possibly somewhat effeminate boy would be considered a twink, and an older man with a beard and a more rugged look would be considered a bear.

@@Bunny_Bill That's probably my fault I hadn't really watched the video I was going on the description that Jamie provided for us, and the way he described the people in the video I went to twink and bear as a way of reclaiming the potential homophobia. It may not be appropriate if I actually watch the video but it was just the first thing that came to my mind.
idk, i've seen similar snickers ads before (i'm in eastern europe fwiw, not spain) and it didn't seem particularly phobic... And in those versions, it was showing a woman character in woman clothing, making some stereotypical woman statements or requests... then getting a snickers from the friends around her and upon eating the bar she turned "back" into the man the friends were expecting. Absolutely a moment of "you're different when you're hungry" meant to sell the thing, not to push any subtle agenda.

It also ignores the fact that women can be the perpetrators too. It's about power and control over another, and has nothing to do with orientation or gender identity.

Regarding the "twins" billboard, if I remember correctly, the photos are of the same guy. Also, do these people think that if parents have twins they decide, "well I guess we have to raise one to be gay". Twins are raised together, so whatever parents do to one, they usually do to the other. 🤷🤦🙄
Maybe the twins were in different classes and the teacher taught one of them to be gay. /s
Idk, man.. bigoted people seem to not think things through all the way.. like they don't want trans women in women's bathrooms, but they would probably also not happy with a bearded trans man in there either - since by their logic trans men are women. It's better to not try to understand their thought process.
Also, like... Identical twins are known to have a bunch of differences. They share close to 100% of their DNA, but they're still different.
@@Missingno_Miner exactly. I mean Tia and Tamera Mowry are well known identical twins in they may have very very similar faces but their personalities are different and you can even tell them apart if you know what to look for.

I got into this argument with someone on Quora and asked them whether they figured Trans Woman weren't human or weren't adults and I was told I was being deliberately obtuse on purpose. No I'm not, I just read that sentence different to you. If all women are women and Trans Women are Women, then they also fall under the definition of Adult Human Female.

Really interesting science and research behind twins and sexuality! That billboard is entirely incorrect. Comparisons in studies have been made to look at the concordance rates for sexuality in identical and fraternal twins. An interesting difference is that the rates are over 100% higher for identical twins than fraternal twins, the rate for identical twins being roughly 25-50%, and the rate for fraternal twins being around 9-22%. This is taken to mean that genetic factors do, in fact, play a role in sexual orientation, considering identical twins have the same genetic makeup as each other, and fraternal twins do not. Studies show that the main factors that go into this are genetic and environmental, meaning that yes, it is natural.
There's an adjacent interesting study (about gay people), where straight people with gay opposite-gender siblings end up on average having more children than straight people with straight opposite-gender siblings or straight people without siblings.
The evolutionary theories floating around are that gay and trans people have genes that are beneficial in human reproduction when it lands on straight people; genes that makes someone seek out male or female partners more actively than the norm and thus get first pick of good partners, and genes that make someone more masculine or feminine, enhancing their attractiveness as partners. Basically, it's advantageous traits that turn out harmless when it's expressed in non cishet humans and just one of the many, many, MANY quirks in our DNA.
Similar twin studies done on trans people have found a 20-40% concordance, which is statistically significant, and does suggest a likely genetic factor.
Yep. Like by their logic you can't be born with an autoimmune condition. Because I know someone who was born with an autoimmune condition whose twin was not. To paraphrase their ad "One twin born with an autoimmune condition, one not, this proves no one is born with an autoimmune condition". Same logic.
A whole bunch of these are the biggest not understanding biology but thinking they do.

@kyrathedragonshark5455 I'm not in a relationship either and also have never been in one before, so I can just tell you what I heard:
Aroace people may be in QPRs (queer platonic relationship), which is a relationship, which's neither sexual nor romantic but also not purely platonic.
They may as well simply not be in a relationship at all.
Or they could, for example, be demiromantic and asexual, but use aroace to describe themselves, so they might feel romantic attraction to people they are close to.
When an aroace person is in a relationship with an allo (allo=not aro/ace) person communication is key! (well, it should be in every kind of relationship, but here especially)

@@dantevito1193 *stares at Catholic Church*…
Actual analysis of the original(?) Hebrew condemns rape.
"A large portion of Leviticus 18 proscribes the divine condemnation of incest. Initially, the relationship of Lev. 18:22 to incest in Lev. 18:6-17 is not obvious, especially in comparison to Lev. 18:18-23. The comparison of Lev. 18:22 to the repetition of miškevē ‘iššâ(“lyings of a woman”) in Lev 20:13, uncovers a parallel relationship to incest. While Leviticus 18 focuses on the forbidden sexual relationships, Leviticus 20 focuses on the punishment for participating in such relationships. The laws are reordered in Leviticus 20 to emphasize consequences of deviant relationships. Themiškevē ‘iššâis an act that is punished identically to other acts that are clearly incestuous. Therefore, the likely meaning of miškevē ‘iššârefers more to incestuous male-male rape as opposed to all erotic, same-sex relationships."

I find it interesting how so many transphobes forget about the existence of transmen and if you kick transwomen out of women's spaces you have to let transmen into them.

Trans women are women and trans men are men so they should use the appropriate facilities. Othering trans people by making “trans bathrooms” is just not right. Also, QT+ is super broad.

Really proud to say that the LGBTQ has such kind and intelligent activists! Your channel is such a safe space, thank you for sharing your views in such a constructive way!
"All children deserve a safe childhood." Absolutely agree that every single child deserves a safe & happy childhood & that includes kids who are no cis &/or straight. Something that always annoys me is when a homophobe or transphobe saying that they just want kids be kids yet what they usually mean is let them be kids that are forced into gender roles instead of actually letting them be themselves. There's nothing wrong with if a child wants to play with a toy that is considered to match their perceived gender. However, it's wrong when they're forced to do it simply because of their gender. What a lot of people with the mindset that child are getting indoctrinated or pushed into being gay, trans, non-binary, etc fail to understand is that letting kids express themselves as who they are, dressing in clothing they like, playing with toys they like, etc is actually letting them be themselves & not indoctrination. U know what is actually indoctrination? Forcing kids to fit themselves into a gender role or gender stereotypes based solely on their gender
Huh?? You keep bringing up kids but "kids" can't do lots of things like holding full time jobs, joining the military, smoking, drinking, getting married, getting tattoos, driving cars, and so many other things. Children aren't oppressed, they have been given in Western society a space to develop into adults. You keep saying kids but kids is a protected category.
Exactly! I wish they would have let me be a Girl Scout. I'm still bitter about that 40 years later. I did not like playing with the boys.
@vinnrat I'm sure you would have appreciated it more than I did! I was in Cub Scouts for a couple of years, but it just wasn't my thing.
Yep. Especially when they argue that "kids are too young to know if they are trans or not". Because by that logic, if you don't know if you're trans, you don't know if you're cis. So should all kids be forced onto puberty blockers until 18 when they are "old enough" to know if they are trans? I've been constantly "informed" that if I "just wait for puberty you'll grow out of it and be glad you didn't mutilate yourself". Yeah, puberty was torture, like I literally said that all the time when I was going through it (and got laughed at by every adult), and also over half my life ago, I think it's a bit late. I was forced to conform to my assumed gender and no one had a problem with that, even though I was miserable.
@waffles3629 That's horrible. I'm sorry you had to endure going through that and not being able to be yourself. What blows my mind is that we've been using puberty blockers for years for cis kids, so why would it be any different for a trans kid. Let them go on puberty blockers, and if they discover they're not trans they can just stop taking them and go through puberty. If they are trans then we do less harm by letting them continue the process of transitioning however far they want to go. I also hate the whole "mutilating your body" bs because then you would have to say that just about any surgery is "mutilating your body." It's all just nonsense to hate on people for being themselves & it's disgusting that they're using kids to push these horrible beliefs
3:10 it's somewhat amusing because that photo can be read in 1 of 2 ways. There is the intended message, that "the cis girl should not be in a locker room with trans girls" Disagree btw, and there is the unintended message that trans girls should not be in a locker room with cis men, which I do agree with. Nice little double meaning there, and failed transphobia.
I agree
Trans pride fleece! I need!!
I started puberty when I was about six or seven, and got my period when I was eight, and doctors recommended puberty blockers because the rush of hormones ( paired with shite genetics, religious trauma and bullying ) were making me very depressed. My parents refused because they saw it as a trans kid thing. Over the years I have been having depressive episodes, suicidal tendencies, nearly got sepsis from an infected wound after self harming with a rusty nail, huge chunks of school missed, etc. it’s safe to say that I regret NOT taking the puberty blockers, cos I might have been a little less fucked up.

I really hate the 'adult human female' thing not just because it's transphobic, but because all it does is change the argument being had from deining woman to defining female
It's good rhetoric though. If you try to answer the question then you automatically lose the debate, because you're painting yourself as as an out-of-touch academic with no common sense. It's a good debate trick: Ask what seems like a simple question but really isn't, then make your opponent look dumb because they can't give a simple answer.
Not sure if it was Rowan Ellis or another CZcamsr that did a breakdown of the 3 words. No universally accepted age of "adulthood"...the issue you pointed out with female being just as fraught with questions. And the history of treating marginalized groups as "less than human." Totally diff video (forgetting even a ballpark guess on that youtuber) made the great linguistic point that human brains tend to define things by grouping examples, because it can be hard to come up with universal definitions for many words. Hence that time GL was asked to give a chair definition, and people pointed out a horse fit his definition
@@ekrtznekrtz5229 It's just not a good definition, as two of the three words aren't well-defined themselves.
@@ekrtznekrtz5229 You don't. It's a word with a lot of edge cases, and that tends to vary over time. Two hundred years ago, people could be considered adults and ready to marry at sixteen. Their idea of woman would be considered a girl today. The term 'female' has different definitions not just in biology and in anthropology, but in different fields of biology as well. It's a deceptively complicated question.
The only things on my trans agenda are enjoying the gloves i just made from yarn that's the same colors as the trans flag, and also trying not to psych myself out of asking my doctor about starting hrt when i see her next month
Ask her! And best wishes for your transition. (I've been on HRT 8 months myself.)
@@electronics-girl thank you!
18:05 That just reminded me of a German Snickers commercial with a bunch of dude in the changing room after a football game, and one drag queen (I think it was). It went pretty much the same way.
Mars could earn so many brownie points if they dared to flip the script on those ads. Like, why not have a bunch of queens on a night out with a grumpy guy in their middle, who turns absolutely fabulous and starts to party after having a Snickers? Have those two (and other similar) ads run in the same campaign, and everyone will be happy. Well, except for bigots, but those will never be happy.
I like your flipped script idea so much 🥲
Love it
The billboard that said Marriage = 1 ♂️ and 1 ♀️, Please... I need help with this. -God should be on r/accidentalally 😅 Cause it sounds like God is being sarcastic to the straights and asking gays to help him lol
That means the marriage was only natural born man and natural born woman, woman needs to be fertile, she can reproduce many kids

It really grinds my gears when people say trans children don't exist. How the hell do you think trans adults exist??? Do you think they spawn fully formed???
Wait that’s NOT how it works?
Oh no, they think adults just wake up one day and decide to be trans. But kids are too young to know if they are trans so therefore trans kids don't exist. Even though by that logic kids are too young to know if they are cis. Because if you can't know if you're trans, you can't know if you're cis. But if you point that out you get called a groomer.
I refuse to give hormones and sex change to kids, it's dangerous
Regarding safety trials for puberty blockers: Presumably those trials were conducted before those medications were first used for precocious puberty, decades ago. Asking for safety trials NOW is like asking for safety trials for aspirin every time someone has a headache.
Yep, like it's puberty blockers, they stop puberty. Doesn't really matter why you want it to stop, it's already been determined safe to use to stop puberty. Efficacy trials if it was being used for a new reason, sure, that would make sense, but trans people are still using them for puberty.
They are trying to pass a bunch of these anti trans laws, here in Iowa. Tomorrow, they are trying to pass one that would make trans people have to have their gender and their gender identity on their birth certificates. It goes to subcommittee tomorrow. Then it would have to go to committee,etc. Hopefully, it doesn’t get passed subcommittee. They have several other anti trans bills that they are trying to pass through our (funnel week).
I sat down and check to see this posted. Made my day.
8:06 woooooo!
10:16 someone once said that asking if human nature was determined by nature or nurture was like like asking if the area of a field was determined by its length or width.
15:42 The Click mentions this theory whenever he runs into this ‘I changed my sexuality to be socially acceptable’ kinda thing, might have picked it up from him
Any Christian who says, "Love the sinner, hate the sin," when referring to homosexuality should be reminded of the two commandments of Christ. These two commandments give the lie to the anti-gay passages of the Old Testament and the grossly mistranslated passages of the New Testament which extremists have caused to be perceived as anti-gay. Thus, according to Christ, there is no sin in homosexuality, and, surely, Christians should be listening to Him rather than base prejudice.
To the people wanting to protect kids, they were the same people in utah that were attacking a cisgendered female student because she was good at sports last week. the doxxed, threatened her and even caused the school to have to call in police protection for her and her family.
The transphobes blamed the government for not passing anti trans laws sooner. This all started because a school board member posted on facebook implying she was trans, as if that makes it any better. The school board member, one Natalie Cline has a history of attacking trans people and justifying vilolence against them. It has gotten so bad that even the Republican government including the Governor and Lt Govenor have called for her dismisal.
I heard they also had someone inspect the genitals of that girl to make sure she wasn’t trans… which…
@vinnrat exactly. I remember seeing a proposed bill (don't remember if it passed) that would allow anyone to challenge if an athlete was trans, and they would be barred from playing until they had a medical exam to prove they weren't. Which of course would have to be on the parents dime, because medical care isn't free in the US. And of course by "exam" they meant "genital inspection". Like ah yes, let's just force kids to strip in order to...play sports??
@@waffles3629 Lukily that hasnt been purposed in Utah yet, but give them a few weeks...
@@imaginarylloyd8892 yep. I mean I think we've already surpassed the total number of bills for 2023 and we're what, 6 weeks into the year?
a few years ago I got some very anti-lgbtq ads on youtube! (back in 2016 I think). That was the moment I got ad blocker

12:06 I understand what Jammi is saying, but I also think some people may believe they are gay, bi, pan, or other and discover they are not that orientation. Some people might experience that and think that it was a choice the whole time then think they are “ex-gay” (not a real thing). I do think that it is a sad thing to not be able to accept yourself, or to force yourself to be different for others who aren’t accepting. But I was hearing what Jammi was saying and it could be heard as, “If you think you are gay, you are.” This is definitely a way a homophobe would hear it. The comment isn’t ill-mannered, and I know this is from a place of concern. Just wanted to get my thought out there too.
Maybe it’s different in the US but at my old schools here in QLD 🇦🇺, the staff had their own toilet. They did not use the same one as the students
I'm in the US, and although I think there was a single-occupancy restroom in the teachers' lounge, they mostly just used the same restrooms as the rest of us. I ran into my (male) teachers in the restroom all the time, and we would even talk about assignments and stuff.
@@electronics-girl Interesting, my school I went to till year 10 was a P-10, even the high school and primary school had their own toilet blocks because the primary toilets were shorter
@@coasttocoast2011 I was mostly talking about my high school (9-12), but I think it was the case in elementary school and junior high, as well. But I'm not as sure for those.
My schools in Western Australia took it even further than that. First grade had 1 unisex bathroom (for the 2 classes of year 1s), from years 2 to 7 had 6 bathrooms across the school, boys and girls, and then split into year groups (2+3, 4+5, 6+7). And high school was the same: boys and girls bathrooms for lower (years 8-10) and upper school (years 11+12), so there wouldn't be any year 12s in the same bathroom with a year 8. And teachers had their own bathroom
Snickers should have had the guy kiss his boyfriend at the end of the ad after he was himself again. Boom, fixed.
As I'm trying to watch this lightheartedly and get my mind off of negativity, today is a very sad day for me. We had a president election in Finland and a right winged president won, and the main reason to that is because his opponent was a gay man. So people voted for the other option just because they don't want a gay president. Some days I just really feel hopeless
I'm so sorry. That sucks. Sending you well wishes and thoughts from the US.
That's really sad news. Sending many hugs from your neighbour country, Sweden.
That's horrible 😔😔 It's so sad to see "progressive" nations turning back the clock

I'm an adult human female. But I'm nonbinary. Just me. Gender is a weird soup, and babe it's not always soup weather😊
@vinnrat exactly. Yes. Because female and male are bio language and man and woman are more tied to gender
It's strange that they keep saying "Men in girls' bathrooms" because it's makes it seem like there's just random men walking into school bathrooms.
Kinda accurate to how they see girls ngl. Submissive, young, easily manipulated
I think the most important thing is, if they're not teachers, there's a serious safe guarding issue with the school!

The funny thing to me is that religious folk always say “it’s apart of gods plan” towards everything, and yet somehow the LGBTQ+ isn't? If god was such a powerful being he could’ve just willed queer and trans people out of existence, no? Not to mention that god themself transcends the human concepts of sex, yet is typically referred to by male pronouns. God also doesn’t have a defined sexuality either. The whole concept of religion being against queer and trans folk is just so incredibly ridiculous, and is only used to spread hate.
I also hate how they say "they're pushing the trans agenda on our children" when they're the one forcing religion on random people
CZcams is running all sorts of them, as well as racist. And there is no way to complain or block the offensive commercials like we can idiot creators. I can't even troll them!
I remember when I used to love those tshirts that said "woman : adult human female".
My English was not that great, I hadn't gotten the implied meaning behind 'female', and thought the intention was to say "There is no wrong way to be a woman, you just need to identify as such"
Thankfully I never wore one 🥲
It could be read this way.
I'm a native English speaker, but as someone who was raised with very strict gender roles, I first read it that way, too. I was like, "Hell yes I'm a woman because I'm a woman! Doesn't matter whether I act "feminine" or not!" I pinned that and several things like it before I realized it was just transphobia. 😔
So many of their "fool proof" arguments revolve around, "It's in the dictionary!" Which is generally a sign of a poor argument as words change over time, geography, and language.
In my experience, messages like that are often obfuscated on purpose. They're /designed/ to be easy to agree with even for people who are completely neutral or ignorant about the stance the slogan is saying something about, because bigots know, at least subconsciously, that nobody is going to agree with them blatantly screaming "i hate [x minority] for no good reason!"
This is the same reason that some bigots say things like, "Well, you don't want MEN in WOMEN'S restrooms, do you??" because if people say ANYTHING that isn't a, "of course not", then the bigot has room to jump in and say "SO YOU AGREE WITH [INSERT HORRIBLE CRIME HERE]?!". It's just sneaky. They don't care about logic or facts or science, they don't care if they're right, they just want to /be/ right and to convince everyone else they /are/ right by any means necessary - even if that means they have to use manipulatively-worded questions and shout over the top of anyone who tries to bring up nuance.
Its sooo weird when I, as a christian AND a lesbian, I have to look at how some toxic christians act but its also a little funny tbh
The pous (leader of the church in rome) had said that we (the church and it's beliievers) should support the LGBTQ+ (SO ALSO THE TRANS) and are welcome and we should not discriminate!
I love how usa conservatives scream about kids having a safe childhood but then do fuck all to prevent school shootings
As a religious, bisexual, Jewish mama, there is no being "saved" by religion. To each their own.
Also, that famously mistranslated, misappropriated verse says in the original Hebrew, in word forms that indicate one is speaking to a man, "Do not lay down the laying-downs of a woman." It's about being honest. I made a video about it, if anyone is interested.
Keep up the good work, Dr. Jamie!

Not gonna lie, Jamie, your videos keep me sane as a genderqueer person in an Evangelical Baptist household (aka they take the Bible literally and don't pick and choose any of it). Thank you so, so much for doing what you do.
I can not fathom having so much hate in me that I needed to advertise it on a billboard
why try to extract meaning out of dictionary definitions, that is the most neutral source you can try to derive bigotry out of, it’s like trying to squeeze bullshit outta stone goddamn
Dictionaries are also constantly updating their definitions to reflect changes in words are actually used. Like, look up "words that are their own antonyms"; words are completely contextual

Yeah, I'd be uncomfortable with my daughter having to use changing rooms with men. If I had a trans daughter, I'd absolutely want her to be safe and be in the women's changing room where she belongs. She wouldn't belong in the men's room any more than I as a trans dude belong in the women's. As for our nonbinary friends, the pool in my hometown actually had three changing rooms: men's, women's, and mixed, which was for families and anyone could go in.
I was trying to show my friend music videos for Hazbin Hotel (really good show, now on Prime) and you've come up in the search Jamie! Also fantastic video, much love
