@@southhedge73yes, it's totally "off" now. And my 30 years of science teaching feels like it went down the gurgler. What happened to science is about facts, debating new ideas, open discussion and rational thought etc 😢
@@carolynbrightfield8911 This way of 'thinking' conducted by some of these people is obviously anti intellectual but I think it is also anti hierarchical. I once had a guy I knew tell me that his opinion (based off the reading of a magazine article) of a subject was equal to and just as valid as the opinion of someone who had studied that subject for several years. 😐
Sex is not "assigned" at birth. It is simply "observed" or "noted" at birth. If gender is fluid, but biological sex is fixed by nature, why must biological sex be transformed unnaturally to mimic the opposite sex when one's gender identity doesn't match one's biological sex. It seems to make more sense to simply ask society to accept those biological males who are more effeminate than others and those biological females who are more masculine than others. Regarding those who say they "feel like" the gender that is opposite their biological sex, I don't know how this is even possible. In reality, none of us actually know what anyone outside of our own body feels, let alone what those in bodies of the opposite biological sex feels. I know what it feels like to be me, but I can't honestly say that all other biological males experience life as I do. I know that women are different than men, but I've never experienced life as a woman, so I don't know how I would possibly have a clue about how "being a woman" feels. It's nothing more than conjecture, really. And it's unlikely there will ever be a way to change one's chromosomes or DNA. If one puts Ferrari rims on a Chevy, it's still a Chevy. One cannot change their sex. Period. End of story.
Your common sense and logical reasoning make sense to most of us but for the select few that experience gender dysphoria they are unable to grasp the reality of their biological sex. Biological sex is one of the most binary things there is in nature, everything else is a continuum. No matter how strong the desire to have the genitals and secondary sexual characteristics of another gender, no amount of self-claiming, hormonal injections or any amount surgery will ever change your fix biological sex.
@@paulmaloney2383 Well-stated. That doctors are so willingly transitioning children will, most certainly, go down in history as one of America's worst crimes.
As do I unless They're talking about archery, darts, shooting, crokinole, or some other skill based competition. But running, jumping, swimming, judo, karate, MMA, cycling? Just no. unfair. Just make an open division for trans people to compete in. Done, fair.
Yep. Example: Why can't a female compete against male motocross riders? Because even if she could handle a motorcyle like Jeremy McGrath, it would absolutely destroy her pelvic floor and possibly cause a uterine prolapse. We are different not only outside, but inside.
@@loganmiller4863I believe men even have a competitive edge in some of those “skill based” sports you mentioned. In archery, for example, men consistently score higher than women in competition, but I don’t know the biological reasons for this.
I suspect that any woman who says this has no interest in competitive sports and doesn't see why any woman would. She's prepared to sacrifice what is hugely important to some women simply because she wants to look virtuous. She's also extremely naive if she thinks no man who claims to be a woman is any danger to women.
I'd go one further and say that you can't even know what it is to be any other man. You only have your experience of manhood and you have no way of comparing it with others' experiences. Therefore we should dispense entirely with the argument that feelings mean anything substantive and focus on the real world of biology.
They dont. They will never know what it feels like to have excruciating cramps from 11 years old or younger and bleed from a vagina. Then they will never know what it feels like to get pregnant. Period. These Woman are a disgrace to all Women. Disgusts me the brainwashing. Which this type of confusion has destroyed civilizations. History repeats.
Everything about males and females is different. Our sex organs of course but also our skeletons, our musculature, tendons and ligaments, our brains function differently, our emotions are predictably different. You cannot “feel” like a woman unless you are. You may have a fetish about having a vagina or wearing women’s clothes but you can’t possibly “feel” like a woman unless you are female. That said, it should be a persons choice to wear clothes typically associated with women or makeup or whatever else you feel like donning but you are the sex you are and there is no changing that. You can be whatever type of male you want to be or whatever type of female you want to be but you are in fact that sex and you can’t change it.
Peter, could you start asking people how long they have had these opinions? Because I'm sure these grown adults did not have these beliefs even 5 years ago.
Lol. Yeah that sums up most of these conversations Peter has with people. It's obvious most people don't work through the logic of their positions until someone else does it for them.
@@OmnipotentJC Yeah. In light of all the evidence showing that people do not use rationality to form their values, it’s kind of weird that people in the rationalist community continue advocating for a rationalist approach to politics. Seems to be the rational thing to do would be to accept that most people are by and large irrational in this area of their lives, and to use a more emotional approach to achieve our goals.
I think they mostly post rationalise things to fit whatever evidence they like, but its rarely the true reason they hold the beleif to start with, I think it mostly comes from a moral position, "being compassionate to trans people is what good people do, and I want to be a good person", anything that disagrees with that gets thrown by the wayside
@@jeffcapes There’s overwhelming evidence that shows this to be the case. That’s why I personally believe reason is a good way of persuading people, but emotional appeals are better.
Watching these 4 adults grapple with understanding and making sense of these questions leads me to the conclusion that this is not a question or decision that we should be giving to children. If adults can’t understand it how on earth do we expect children to. This is a very dangerous experiment that can only lead to mind bending confusion.
They expect children to be groomed and indoctrinated like they claim the traditional role children are placed. They think that its okay to progressively teach children to become what they aren’t meant to be. That’s how they expect children to understand. Like ABC’s and 123’s. The human mind isnt fully developed until around age 25 so thats plenty of time to mold our nations youth into a nightmare.
@@lilyvonshtuup that's the problem, children believe what adults tell them, they don't know any better because they haven't had enough life experience to gain a sufficient knowledge base to question what they're being told & if the adult is someone the child admires like a TV celebrity/movie star, online influencer, a trusted caregiver like a parent, teacher, therapist, or doctor they tend to believe these adults. Kids believe Santa & the Easter Bunny is real. Children live in fantasy & have no issues accepting & believing they are dragons, dogs, cats, firefighters, astronauts, boys, girls, the list is endless. This is why pushing this delusional gender ideology onto young minds is criminal. It's taking advantage of their innocence & naivety.
It amazes me how quickly this pervasive idea that sex is "assigned" at birth has developed. It's like it appeared overnight and every person under a certain age just accepts it as an incontrovertible fact now.
Because it is pushed down from the top,.systemically. these are mostly normal people trying to conform to what is taught as best practice. Their confusion and discomfort are the goal. How far can we be pushed to assert what we know is not true?
It continues to amaze me how many people are completely oblivious to the biological definition of sex as a reproductive role. It's not determined by secondary characteristics like chromosomes or genetalia; sex is determined by an organism's potential to produce either large, immobile gametes (eggs) or small, mobile gametes (sperm). The former individuals are - by definition - female, and the latter are - by definition - male. And unless there is some highly advanced gene editing method that I'm unaware of, there is *no* possible way to change one's sex and start producing the opposite gamete type. As Helen Joyce once put it, it's not just the breasts and vagina and estrogen that makes her a female... *every single cell* of her body carries that reproductive role.
And the hole they fashion is for penetration only, reducing the vagina to something that simply provides pleasure for others...it's unbelievably offensive.
Boggled my mind. Has basic science class content been altered??? Maybe this is the root cause of the COMPLETE IDIOCY and confusion these people are spouting. They did alter the definition of "vaccine" to include "gene therapy" in 2020. Just goes to show ANYTHING can be changed and you won't even realise till the next generation is talking bullshit in the streets
how is this different from chromosomes? Would it be incorrect to say that only a person with XX chromosomes has the potential to produce large, immobile gametes (eggs) ?
I was under the impression that sperm is just produced by the testies and eggs are from the ovary. I suppose I never gave the time to think about if it were possible to transplant them into someone else. And if you did transplant it to the opposite sex, would the body know what to do with it?
You can tell they’ve never thought deeply about this. It’s just statements they’ve heard. I’m amazed how they don’t realize “gender” is just what liberals of the past used to call “gender roles”. He even briefly mentioned this in the video when he said “sex based stereotypes”. This is what some people call sex based expression. It accounts for people not conforming to gender norms without having to bend reality in a religious belief that we can be born in the wrong bodies therefore must treat a man like a woman and ignore biology.
Those two women are absolutely terrified when giving an answer to a question that their fellow cult members haven't drilled into them yet. They know if they say one thing that can be even misconstrued as "problematic" they will be heretics and their lives ruined via cancellation or even physically harmed.
If anything, it’s “gender identity assigned at birth”. Conceptually, that makes sense to me. The activist types want to focus on sex though, because they want health insurance to pay for sex, reassignment surgery. If the focus were on gender, it has a lot less weight in the healthcare systems.
@@SeaTeaSnow gender identity is made up. It is not assigned at birth. At best you can assert that social constructs play a role in sex/gender stereotypes. This is a far cry from what the gender theory crowd assert.
Agreed. the reason for this term is that trans ideologists picked it so they could push their narrative. Avoid playing on the enemies chosen field of battle. Seriously, all of us fighting this nonsense could stand to reread Art of War.
It’s so sad that the young woman has had her notion of what a woman is reduced to if there is a hole between a person’s legs, no matter how it got there
@lovesilk1 a woman is- and can only ever be - an adult human being who was born biologically female. A man can never be a woman - in any way, shape or form.
Dude has a trans kid that he helped to medicalize, or a dysphoric close friend that he failed to help. There has to be a back-story to generate such anger.
The problem is that so many people have never actually thought about it for themselves. That’s why the one lady sounded so confused: because she was trying to explain what she’s been told is “correct” and has never actually thought about whether it actually makes sense or not.
That's because people never needed to think about this stuff until institutional activists convinced them that it was possible to change sexes with technology. If they knew what those surgeries actually did they would likely be horrified; but the reality of what they are is too inconceivable to cut through the I inherent disbelief people have when confronted with them. It's a horror that even Lovecraft could not have conceived, and the consequences will be existentially devastating
To add to the conversation, I’m a university professor facing dismissal because I once compared a chemical reaction between two inanimate molecules and a non-human hermaphrodite such as an earthworm, and this was taken as insulting to intersex people. It’s hard to comprehend this level of idiocy within our higher educational system.
I really hate how much misinformation has been pumped out on this topic that there are people who actually think, or at least say, that you can change your sex 😒 And what's more concerning is that these people get to vote. I can't have a basic conversation with people who think like this because they are just so misinformed that I have to spend the entire time educating them on basic facts while they stumble through regurgitating the nonsense they heard from some trans activist or in gender/queer studies.
The way that your average person now thinks that sex is assigned at birth rather than observed, because they've heard the former so many times in recent years but never stopped for a second to think about the meaning of that phrase, is flabbergasting. To the best of my knowledge the phrase sex assigned at birth was coined by John Money when working with intersex patients (because they actually were assigned a sex because they couldn't confirm their sex through observation). That some of those people will then berate you for being transphobic when they don't even understand what transsexualism is is scary.
I kinda think this is the default state humans occupy. Pick anyone out of a crowd, and with the right questions you'll find the bullshit they think is true. And many beliefs are so intertwined with either someone's worldview or their sense of personal identity, that presenting them with facts and logic isn't going to educate them like it would for someone else. That's because they're not taking your information or reasoning onboard to be processed and reflected on as if it was valid. In their conscious reality, truth and bullshit swap places. It's seriously like an acute hyper-local insanity. It can be literally impossible for people to see the truth for what it is, even when perfectly showcased and put right in front of their face. Their brain straight up wont let them see it. This is every human... and we have our evolution to thank for it..😖
Indeed, you should try sharing a State with these people who have re-elected Daniel Andrews the criminal tyrant who legislatively imposed teaching this perverted pseudoscientific ideology upon children in our schools as well as enforcing the longest and harshest lockdowns anywhere in the world.

Six months on from the election the State is totally bankrupt, the laughing-stock of the rest of Australia and now the entire British Commonwealth after their totalitarian cult leader cancelled the Commonwealth Games two weeks ago. Sigh of sighs my once beautiful State of Victoria has been utterly destroyed by poisonous wokeness.
A minor nitpick to be sure, but don’t fall into the linguistic traps being laid down… there is no such thing as “misinformation.” One can be misinformed, but the word “misinformation” is an invention, just like the term “conspiracy theory” specifically designed to shut down discourse.
@@stvbrsn, the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’, and the word ‘misinformation’, both existed long before they were intentionally imbued with a tone of derisive mockery, in order to discredit believers.

The far left opperates very much religion, they're scared to say what they think since they'll be shunned by the group. They believe it because they're told they have to. Most of the US is removed from reality if you think about how many are religous.

As a 64 year old woman who were subjected to all the unfair advantage to men, I am astounded that we are expected to give up so much of our wins. Just like that, women sport is back to extreme discrimination. Any fool knows that a man is stronger/faster than a woman physically. All a man now has to do is to say they identify as a woman and they are guaranteed to win with far less effort and talent. Plus they win the financial benefits in prizes. That a young woman would think that is a good move, sickens me. We have lost the plot as humanity. I hope this is a temporary condition. If not, we are screwed.
Exactly! Women fought for single sex bathrooms to be added at work because there was so much sexual assault in shared bathrooms, women were just holding it for 12 hours which was physically damaging. Young women these days act like it's no big deal to just let some men back into those spaces, like they've forgotten the suffering of our ancestors 😢
Exactly. That girl absolutely knows that her boyfriend could easily overpower her but still denies it to be "kind". It wouldn't even matter to her if all womens sports would collapse. Maybe bc she hadn't done a situp in the last 5 years. 🤔

@@justmy2cents652 The problem is that when we talk about "women's sports" we're usually talking about "men's sports done by women" in which men will naturally outperform any woman.

I tend to think that getting rid of sex categories in professional sports would actually improve women's sports and new ones would emerge.
@@Dan_Capone I'm guessing every woman who is active in sports which you would call "men's sports" would disagree.

Logical? Sure. But even biological arguments. They started off defining sex accurately ("biologically a male or female") and then spent the rest of the discussion controverting their own definition by equivocating.
Ya, observed by bigots, unless they switch the sex to trans, which is the only morally decent sex one can be. You should try it, it's never too late or too early to go full trans & then boom, you're elevated to the highest of high positions from which you may ASSIGN (see what I did there??) all others as bigots.
It was pretty funny how she tripped herself up on that one. She said sex isn’t observed, it’s “assigned.” Then immediately goes on to say it’s “assigned” based on what the doctors see… smh.
sex is determined at the moment of fertilization and it is the sperm that provides the sex chromosome determining M/F. sex can be determined pre implantation IVF or between 6 to 10 weeks into pregnancy depending on the method. This assigned sex at birth concept is rubbish HORMONE LEVELS DO NOT DETERMINE SEX!!!!

These 2 women are all over the place. Sex matters, then it doesn't, it can be tested, but it doesn't matter. I mean do they even have a standard they would adhere to?
Leftist drones adjust as the conversation goes, what is true from one moment to the next constantly changes as needed. Nothing is stable (especially their mental state) and nothing is consistent, their entire existence is based on subjective delusional reality.
The standard they adhere to is that that nothing can prevent a man becoming a woman, and that if there is this thing called female and only some women can have it, that is unacceptable. Therefore the meaning of "female" has to change. And then we are forced to use terms like AMAB in situations where the truth is still needed. The truth is so stigmatized that it has to be relegated to the status of an embarrassing mistake.
Interestingly she allowed the person who, after experiencing an accident undergoing genital surgery, to "choose". But the cis guy who underwent a random tragic accident is irrevocably now intersex...
Technically they become intersex or a eunuch. They no longer produce testosterone. That is itself basic biological reality. I think castration complex or fear falls into this for some people. They simply can't accept that it could happen to them and it would change them physically externally and internally. If you aren't producing testosterone it will also effect you mentally and you will be more emotional.
That old guy is so embarrassing. He knows the truth but wants to be relevant to the younger crowd. We all know that men can't be women and women can't be men. It's a facade, a delusion.

@@afuzzycreature8387yes, but we haven't accepted ideas without utility.

No worse, because it’s not backed up by research, years and centuries, sources, and also cross verified by its opposer…. Science is religions opposer and as far as I can tell the belief in religion is backed by scripture, dates, CENTURIES of passing on stories and knowledge, and religions own opposer even verifies some dates and artifacts and what not, or even has natural explanations for some of the supernatural things described in religion…… Literally the only evidence this whole movement has is that people sometimes are attracted to just about anything, and also will make themselves appear and act in any way they deem fit…. So a man can love a man, but there’s still a MAN (and a woman) like, I can put on a wig and stuff my shirt and make myself appear “more like a woman” but that doesn’t make me not man or even something else or inbetween….. it’s so funny this whole ideology. All the different sun categories of rainbow people also in fight and make claims that “debunk” or “erase” the “truth” and and legitimacy and the experience of other rainbow groups…. Hell it seems even gender dysphoria and trans people genuinely seem to go through hell and have no idea what’s even going on with THEMSELVES. How can you even claim that you can claim to be something? Last time I checked your identity was based on how OTHERS view you…. Identity is negotiated with society….. you can’t identify as something that others refuse you are EVEN if those others are LYING! Think about it, someone could lie about your identity and even though it’s not true, because that person is lying, others might think it’s true and that can effect you LIKE it’s true! Got ‘em there too! Literally I can’t imagine the mental pain/gymnastics these wackos must put themselves through….. like, gay people exist, people who claim they are the OPPOSITE sex exist, people claim to be all sorts of thing, do all sorts of things too. But at the end of the day, you are what you are. The harder you try to pretend your not-the harder your life will be and the harder you make it for ALL those around you. What’s with the PUSH for all this crap? Last time I checked, gay people and trans people just are gay or trans and find that out on their own and make all the changes themselves without being told how to do it or what they should do….. don’t need the propaganda because the propaganda will only confuse CONFUSED and SUSCEPTIBLE people. The real gays and trans find a way to be gay and trans lol…. If everyone knows what gender they feel like even as a CHILD then surely we don’t have to talk about it at ALL no?
The girls start out by saying that sex and gender are different, and then spend the entire time arguing that sex and gender are the exact same thing. They don't seem to understand what they believe at all.
Yeah, and the fact that they lack the reasoning tools (despite seeming reasonably intelligent/educated) to understand exactly how FLAWED their logic is is very concerning. Lots of people just don't know HOW to think anymore.
Yes, like two naughty monkeys who have found a saw and are now avidly taking turns enthusiastically sawing away at the very branch they're standing upon while a lion sits calmly basking in the sun at the foot of the tree awaiting the delivery of his midday meal that will be the sole inevitable outcome of such ill-conceived adventurism. Survival of the fittest in slow-motion.
Do you think the conservatives that have taken the opposite side are actually fighting for women's rights? When historically they haven't cared about them or they have directly fought against them? I only see people latching onto arguments to further their agenda making it look more positive.
It's a mantra you supposed to repeat it until it becomes reality. Indoctrination is on full swing, the rest of us need to get on board. If you don't agree with that then you are label as a bigot and dismissed.
Your body is not simply a penis or vagina, the male and female bodies have many other differences other than sex organs, therefore you can not change your sex IMO.
It’s actually doublethink: Cognitive dissonance brought on by political indoctrination as opposed to being a natural phenomenon of their psychology. Nobody holds these beliefs naturally.
If I were born intersex I'd be pissed at being used as a beard by trans activists, and a man that loses his junk in a car accident *definitely* shouldn't be classed as intersex. If you insist on over-simplifying, intersex means *at least* both types of genitals in some measure, not one less. You might argue losing your junk makes you (more) androgynous but that's something else altogether.

@@antimonycup7066 sex: the state of being either male or female in most species of metazoans. In humans, each cell nucleus contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, a total of 46 chromosomes. The first 22 pairs are called autosomes. Autosomes are homologous chromosomes, that is, chromosomes that contain the same genes (regions of DNA) in the same order along their chromosomal arms. The 23rd pair of chromosomes are called allosomes (sex chromosomes). These consist of two X chromosomes in most all females, and an X chromosome and a Y chromosome in most all males. Females, therefore, have 23 homologous chromosome pairs, while males have 22. The X and Y chromosomes have small regions of homology called pseudoautosomal regions. The X chromosome is always present as the 23rd chromosome in the ovum, while either an X or Y chromosome may be present in an individual spermatozoon cell gamete. An extremely minute percentage of humans are either (anatomical) hermaphrodites or of indeterminate sex (or to be more accurate, disordered sex). That does not negate the incontrovertible FACT that there are but two sexes/genders. In order for reproduction to take place, there is the requirement of a female ovum and a male sperm to unite, and because the entire purpose of the gender/sex division of most species of animals is to enable procreation, the sexual identity of an individual is best classified according to the gametes produced by the individual in question. There is no third gamete. Cf. “gender”. Both terms (“gender” and “sex”) originate from Latin words: “genus” (meaning “begin”; “birth”; “kind”; “race”; “gender”) and “sexus” (meaning “sex”; “division”; “gender”). If the reader is curious to know the reason for this term being included in the glossary of “F.I.S.H” (apart from the fact that it is actually used in a handful of chapters), it is because, in recent times, LEFTISTS have been desperately trying to change the meaning of the words “sex” and “gender”, in order to serve their immensely-perverse agenda to destroy civil society with their hateful, wicked, immoral ideologies, especially by promoting the nonsensical idea that a person is able to transition from one gender to the other. gender: the state of being either male or female, and because the entire purpose of the gender/sex division in most species of animal life is to facilitate procreation, the sexual identity of an individual is best classified according to the gametes produced by the person in question. There is no extant third gamete. An extremely minute percentage of humans are either “intersex” (typically referring to those who are anatomical hermaphrodites) or of indeterminate gender (that is, not easily determined by a cursory inspection of the external genitalia), but that does not negate the incontrovertible scientific fact that there are only two genders. As far as we know, there has never existed a single human being with the ability to BOTH conceive a child in his/her womb and, simultaneously, successfully inseminate a woman (or in more disturbing terms, for a hermaphrodite to inseminate him/herself). And even if such an individual has existed, that person would be a combination of BOTH male and female, and not some imaginary, novel third gender. In those rare cases in which a human is born without gonads, the other characteristics of sex/gender would be taken into consideration - firstly, the allosomes (sex chromosomes) found in the DNA of every cell, and then, any extant genitalia, since even those females who have experienced the misfortune of being born without ovaries, for instance, usually have their remaining sex organs intact). Cf. “sex”. Both terms (“gender” and “sex”) originate from Latin words: “genus” (meaning “begin”; “birth”; “kind”; “race”; “gender”) and “sexus” (meaning “sex”; “division”; “gender”). So, essentially, the only significant distinction between the two terms is that the etymology of “gender” pertains to the beginning of things, as can be plainly seen by the other English words that originate from "genus", such as “generic”, “genetic”, and “generate”, whilst “sex” is a scrupulously-literal translation of the Latin cognate “sexus”. The mere fact that the word “genitals” (referring to reproductive organs) is very closely related to the Latin “genus” is further evidence of the assertion that the term “gender” refers to the binary division of human (and of course, many non-human) sexual identity, and NOT to any taxonomy based on emotion, feelings, psychology, or any other non-biological categorization schema. If the reader is curious to know why this term is included in the glossary of “F.I.S.H” (apart from the fact that it is actually used in a handful of chapters), it is because leftists have been desperately trying to change the meaning of the word in recent times, in order to serve their immensely-perverse agenda to destroy civil society with their hateful, wicked, sinful, objectively-immoral ideologies. Until relatively recently, the word “gender” has ALWAYS been used in the etymologically-accurate sense of the term, and even in the former case, predominantly where leftist ideologues comprise a significant proportion of the population. See also “leftism”. If you are truly wise and intelligent, you would surely have recognized several amazing secrets contained within the body of this treatise, “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”. However, perhaps the most secretive secret, shall forthwith be revealed: It is IMPOSSIBLE for a human being to change his or her sex/gender! (You are implored to keep this secret - do not tell a soul!!!) For example, a man who castrates himself and wears a skirt or a dress is simply a mutilated, transvestinal male - not a woman or a female. Similarly, a woman who attaches an appendage resembling a phallus to her crotch and dons a pair of pantaloons, is merely a transvestinal woman with a fake penis between her thighs, and not a man, nor a male, in any accurate sense of the terms. Actually, I would contend that any “man” who excises his reproductive organs was ALWAYS a dickless “man”, metaphorically speaking. 🤪
Funny how people say “sex is assigned at birth”, whilst I remember my fiancée’s ultrasound @20 weeks we were told by the midwife, “it’s a girl”. Sex _might be_ “assigned” at birth, but the chromosomal structure of our genus is determined in prophase. I am not a biologist, but I would assume this occurs hours or perhaps days after conception.
Well, I am a biologist (in New Jersey) & I say you'd better raise that baby as a boy, or you & your lovely fiancé are racist. I'm pretty sure that's how that works, but again, I'm only recognized as a biologist in New Jersey, so...
That's why you never let women vote or have any power. Men should be required to protect them. Not letting them vote or have power is our responsibility to protect them from themselves.
He's indoctrinated and feels socially pressured to lose his temper and sieg heil to attack and 'out' the guy with the boarding. Ironically, I feel that this old geezer has the predisposition and personality to have been one of the first to fanatically get behind the Nazi movement back in pre-WW2 Germany and feel proud and vindicated to be part of that.
Exactly..like have they ever even PLAYED sports? I have, and Lord knows I wouldn't want a dude swinging a field hockey stick at my head or hurling a 90mph softball in the general area of my reproductive organs. 😮
You have the genitals you have, yet are somehow "assigned". When we finally get over this lunacy, there is going to be a lot of denial and cringe when people look back at how irrational the human psyche can be.
The guy wearing the posterboard is a saint. He’s doing everything he can to make those girls feel validated when it’s time for him to pretend to change his mind. They literally have no argument Other than people can do whatever they want. They literally don’t have the ability to think about the differences between men and women.
Gender expression is personality. Gender presentation is fashion. Anyone who believes they are in the wrong body is psychologically unwell, and needs psychological help You cannot cure a mental illness with surgery.
Right, and then many of those post-op commit suicide: bc they realize the grass isn’t greener on the other side and now they CANNOT go back to what they were born as… So even the “successful” trans highlight the very points of their ideological opponent … But the crazy libs blame that phenomenon on those ideological opponents: that those who have “trans” people avoid survey are responsible (“killing”) the trans that were successful in having surgery but then decided to kill themselves…. Put shortly, those leading the horse to toxic water blame those telling the horse not to go when the horse dies after drinking the poison water. That’s gaslighting.
"You cannot cure a mental illness with surgery." Don't be so sure. The mental is somehow a result of the physical, although we do not fully understand this yet and even if we did we probably could not simulate any more than we can climatical models. But by fiat of being an emersive property of some physical construction, there is a physical - surgical or medisinal - solution to any mental or psychological illment. I'm not saying we have that solution, or that "sexual reassignment"-surgery is healthy. And fixing one bolt might just unscrew another. Who knows, maybe every single individual must have something mentally wrong with them. But your statement seems a bit too absolutist.
and the same people who claim its possible to be "born in the wrong body" will get very upset if you ask them if it is possible to be a black man born in a white man's body.
actually it's proven that unlike the help modalities used lets say for annorexia, Gender Affirming care and social acceptance and support are proven to help Transgender folks. The treatments are totally different
You can hear the lack of conviction in their voice as they defend their shaky position. It's almost like they understand what they are spouting doesn't make sense and falls apart under the simplest questioning but are scared to say the wrong thing and offending people. Also I lost it at "it's a hole", way to boil down a whole subset of humanity to such a flippant definition.
These are what are called liberal feminists, and liberal feminism is the cancer of feminism, they believe in this gender nonsense, “fat positivity”, the idea that “sex work”(their sterilized politically correct word for prostitution) is empowering for women, and a bunch of other nonsense. It’s misogyny sold as feminism.
That's the point, they don't believe it. They're just afraid of offending someone. By extension it gives everyone an excuse to do anything they want. I support your crazy ideas so now you have to support my crazy ideas. What's coming is the normalization of pedophilia.
I think they had a false sense of confidence because they heard terms like “assigned at birth” on repeat in class and on tv. I doubt they ever had any challenge on the beliefs that were served to them and that’s why they had no idea about the holes in their logic regarding the holes between their legs.
Ikr, they're simply reciting their cult dogma. The same sort of reality-denial as the Soviet saying "You did not see graphite on the ground" because Soviet reactors "can't" explode. 🙄
They know they are lying. We know they are lying. They know that we know they are lying. We know that they know that we know they are lying. THEY LIE ANYWAY!
I feel really sorry for the imaginary guy that lost his wiener in a car accident and then apparently automatically would become female with no regard (all of a sudden) for his own views on the matter. Solid reasoning right there.
No one said he instantly became a women. They said he became intersex. Seriously they are no longer physically or biologically 100% functionally male. That is reality.
Putting aside that intersex people are still either male or female (there is no third gamete), I don’t see what relevance they have regarding transgenderism. Trans people are rarely if ever intersex. A transwoman, for example, is usually a complete male with XY chromosomes, a prostate, male genitalia and the physiology which produces small mobile gametes (sperm).
Yep, trans people are usually born with 0.0 reproductive organs of the opposite sex. Even after surgeries, the trans males have zero functional female organs.
This was just painful to watch. Them girls having their ideology ripped apart infront of them but just refusing to even acknowledge their opinions are just wrong. The cognitive dissonance was off the scale
And "blackfacing" men. Since most transitioners today are female. (But since we live in a gynocentric societies only the wellbeing and safety of women matter. And that has deep and necessary biological roots.)
I have never met a trans woman who actually knows what it means to be a woman. They think it's about wearing makeup, heels and dresses. I never wear those things but I am a woman. Every trans woman I have met still acts, talks, and moves like a man.
It's a feeling, an essence, an energy. It's the way they see themselves and interact with the world. That's how I've heard them talk. Menno calls it "gender woo. "
@@tupacalypse88 that’s what it makes it sound like 😂 I’ve been attending deliveries for almost 2 decades as a nurse and I’ve never assigned anything. I’ve observed and happily told families what they have. Most of them nowadays know before delivery.
I would like to see if these women would agree when a man who says he is a woman invades their space in the way we have been seeing happen in the media.
I want to get in on one of these because the debate is so simple. On a cellular level men and women are different and that cannot be changed. Mutilating your body will not change you from man to woman or vice versa.
I have tried to remain kind for the past 10 years, ever since we started having this strange discussion; you know, before we forgot what a man and a woman are, but I have to conclude that some people really just are not that bright.
Every time one of these women makes the argument that they would be perfectly happy and feel perfectly safe allowing biological males into their locker rooms, changing rooms and especially shelters, I just wish the next follow-up question to them would be "Have you ever been punched in the face by a man?" I am guessing the answer is no.
I think they believe in the good of people so strongly that they just can't fathom what could ever go wrong if there were no separate spaces for men and women in restrooms, changing rooms, sports competitions, abuse shelters, etc. ESPECIALLY for children and pubescent teens
I feel perfectly safe letting rapists and murderers into female locker rooms. People who are right wing get their own locker rooms where these people aren't allowed.
I would also like to.know if they believe we should have the right to fmle only things or if they agree with the T movement making it illegal to exist via "discrimination"
Despite the interruption, this was a great, respectful conversation with diverse viewpoints. Check out Richard from Common Ground Conversations, who participated in this conversation. commongroundconversations.co/
At first that young woman seemed so rational. Until it became clear that she had no regard for factual information and apparently rationalizes everything through emotion.

The young woman could have been offered any facts and she would have reputed it. The very fact she wouldn't acknowledge the strength difference shows this. For the older lady, as she was placing so much on hormones I wish it had been pointed out that regardless of that adjustment there are other male attributes that give an advantage. Such as size of lungs, bone density, arm length, overall height etc. You might pose the question to the younger lady whether she would be happy to go in a boxing ring with Mike Tyson once he puts a wig on and states he feels like a woman.
What I find interesting is that whether this topic is broached in Australia, the USA or the UK etc, you will get very similar responses from people, they even use the same words/ phrases/tag lines! Like " *assigned male at birth* " , "gender is a social construct" , "a woman is someone who identifies as a woman" etc and they ALWAYS bring up intersex!!! Every single time!! If you ask two people to talk about astrology, for example, especially if they are in different localities/ countries/ continents - no two people would explain their understanding of astrology in the same way, using the same language and bring up the same points!! I find it fascinating that people seem to have a set narritive and certain talking points with this topic but their argument quickly falls apart when questioned further. It's completely hollow. This ideology is not something that has evolved naturally from within communities, in the same time period, on opposite sides of the world. This ideology is something that seems to have infiltrated every western society, which is why the same talking points are used everywhere. Thank you Peter! This was great. The man (i can't remember his name) was excellent at finding common ground and articulating his arguments.
Enough people commenting on the mental contortions by the ladies, let me instead note that this is the most reasonable man wearing a billboard that I have ever observed.
This is the comment I was looking for. I also really appreciate him trying to explain what he understands from their statements. He was using words very precisely to ensure everyone understood him, while also not being rude.
Based on all of the responses I have seen from these video's, there are two types of people that push this gender ideology: the type that simply do not want to offend anyone and the type that actually believe people can magically change sexes.
@@dansschoolofschool also, by the end, while he accepted that the discussion helped him understand their position, the women still claimed they didn't understand his - they were obviously not engaging their brain.....
Exactly. These people are not even aware that they aren't even thinking. They are only concerned with social appeasement regardless of the realities involved. They are basically NPCs who are programmed to woke.
@@dax2005 very common. More conservative people tend to understand more left wing positions far better than the inverse. I say "more" in each direction because I'm aware liberals exist that break this paradigm and obviously there are ignorant conservatives.
@@dax2005 The most telling moment to me was when the younger of the two was asked to provide an argument to help the billboard man move closer to her position, yet all she could muster up was "sex can be changed by way of surgery and hormone treatment", which was nothing more than the exact same misconception of confusing superficial sexual characteristics (appearance) with the whole of what sex is actually comprised of (chromosomes, anatomy, functional organs both internal and external, etc.) that she had been repeating the whole time. Then, a little while later, she just shrugged and said that "it [was] the most basic argument she [could] think of", proving that she didn't even grasp that to convince an opponent in a debate one has to provide the best possible argument, one that is susceptible to actually motivate the other person to reconsider their position. Now that tells me a lot on how much thought she may have given to the topic prior to Peter's friendly "ambush".
Mmm...I don't buy the "don't want to offend anyone" or "being polite". They're not taking a neutral position. They're certainly oppositional and seem to have no problem sacrificing women, like most liberals on this topic. So the politeness only works in one direction, and it also happens to be on behalf of the side that is advocating (with active vlence) against prior civil rights legislation for W.
It’s just about the genitals you have, except when the recreated genitals are poorly constructed to the point of being unrecognisable, then it’s about intent, but if a man unintentionally loses his genitals, then it’s about the absence of alternative genitals, and if there’s no surgery at all, then it’s about mental conviction, not genitals. This reminds me of Sacha Baron Cohen trolling vapid fashionistas as Bruno, leading them to agree to completely contradictory statements back to back, then asking “…and do you think consistency is important?”
Lol, exactly. Women always complain that men are sexualizing and objectifying women while they are the ones thinking all that defines a woman is a “hole”
4:56 Is the single best argument for the fact that gender and say are not the same thing. I used to believe in the sex binary, but the gentleman in yellow finally convinced me otherwise.
@@bobjohnson1633 As a woman, I understand your sentiment although I don't agree with it. Really disappointed at women who so carelessly throw away opportunities for our daughters. On the other hand, the older gentleman railing against the conversation as being transphobic makes a case in the opposite direction. it's a strange, strange world.
@@Cyllene1203Don't pretend to understand the sentiments of a man that says he wants to end wmns suffrage (which is a real and growing movement) because she said something stupid about wmn. How does that logically make sense...at all? He's literally agreeing with her premise while simultaneously using it as a fail against her?
The fact is, the downfall of western civilization tracks extremely well with giving women the vote. Same thing happened before the Roman empire collapsed as well.
When I first saw this channel, I thought it was a way to get one person's (or group's) views across, but I took the time to watch a few more videos and see this as a great way to communicate across the board. It made me think critically about how I view open discussion. Just because the questions are difficult (at times), it's FAR better to talk it through and visualize where we are at on a scale versus seeing ourselves and others in extremes. Sure, there are definitely extremes but that just proves how Peter's scale and open communication among the different opinions works. The people who seem to get mad or try to disrupt the conversations are the ones who don't have the skills to think critically, but once they are introduced to it (and open to CHOOSE to listen to other viewpoints) it's a step in the right direction. Thank you, Peter, for asking the difficult questions in our society so we can understand the people around us. This might reduce violence and open up civility in our culture even on a small scale.
How we condition the genders is largely based on sex based behaviours, so it is very much rooted in biology. If you subscribe to the idea that gender is a "social construct" then it logically follows you can't choose your own gender but that society defines your gender. Sigh, of course they brought up intersex. Well if that's a separate sex, can she show us what an intersex organ looks like? Cause to my knowledge, intersex people have male and female organs, cause those are the sexes.
sex: the state of being either male or female in most species of metazoans. In humans, each cell nucleus contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, a total of 46 chromosomes. The first 22 pairs are called autosomes. Autosomes are homologous chromosomes, that is, chromosomes that contain the same genes (regions of DNA) in the same order along their chromosomal arms. The 23rd pair of chromosomes are called allosomes (sex chromosomes). These consist of two X chromosomes in most all females, and an X chromosome and a Y chromosome in most all males. Females, therefore, have 23 homologous chromosome pairs, while males have 22. The X and Y chromosomes have small regions of homology called pseudoautosomal regions. The X chromosome is always present as the 23rd chromosome in the ovum, while either an X or Y chromosome may be present in an individual spermatozoon cell gamete. An extremely minute percentage of humans are either (anatomical) hermaphrodites or of indeterminate sex (or to be more accurate, disordered sex). That does not negate the incontrovertible FACT that there are but two sexes/genders. In order for reproduction to take place, there is the requirement of a female ovum and a male sperm to unite, and because the entire purpose of the gender/sex division of most species of animals is to enable procreation, the sexual identity of an individual is best classified according to the gametes produced by the individual in question. There is no third gamete. Cf. “gender”. Both terms (“gender” and “sex”) originate from Latin words: “genus” (meaning “begin”; “birth”; “kind”; “race”; “gender”) and “sexus” (meaning “sex”; “division”; “gender”). If the reader is curious to know the reason for this term being included in the glossary of “F.I.S.H” (apart from the fact that it is actually used in a handful of chapters), it is because, in recent times, LEFTISTS have been desperately trying to change the meaning of the words “sex” and “gender”, in order to serve their immensely-perverse agenda to destroy civil society with their hateful, wicked, immoral ideologies, especially by promoting the nonsensical idea that a person is able to transition from one gender to the other. gender: the state of being either male or female, and because the entire purpose of the gender/sex division in most species of animal life is to facilitate procreation, the sexual identity of an individual is best classified according to the gametes produced by the person in question.

@@TheVeganVicar Recently Benjamin Boyce had a discussion with 2 feminists regarding porn and whether it was destructive: one pornstar, and one journalist. What blew my mind was that they both divorced their sexuality from the idea / purpose of procreation. The exposure the iphone has bestowed upon women has destroyed them - especially the pretty ones.
they are not sex based behaviours they are based in controlling peoples place in society, you should read the book Misogyny the worlds oldest prejudice, it gives an overview of how successive civilizations and religions have tried to tie women to their reproductive role and use that to control, likening them to cattle, there are other cultures with different gender roles, and plenty of evidence of that in antiquity.

I'm the same age in the US, and I can remember when gender and sex were the same thing, the equipment you were born with and what you wanted to do with that equipment was your sexuality.
Thank you so much Peter for coming to my country. It’s very sad to know that the women and men who understand the truth (there are two sexes, sex is determined at conception and immutable throughout life) are probably too scared to be on camera and say what the think for fear of losing their jobs! I know that’s the case for me.
A very good, rational conversation. The guy who interrrupted is a reflection of the intolerant ones who will brook no argument that does not fall in line with their doctrine. They want to silence even the questioning of what they believe. THEY are the dangerous ones. Also, notice, the ladies' opinions quickly fell back on feelings. This is always what it goes back to - feelings trump science in this day and age, because people want to be compassionate and empathetic. They don't want practical considerations of fairness to interfere.
So interesting: the two women started off claiming sex and gender were two different things but then claim that sex is only assigned at birth in a way that at least seemed to imply they think it is some indicating imposition by a system that can be wrong. But then, if the penis is not a good sign to go on to say “this is a boy” where did that difference between gender and sex go?
I hate when people focus so much on hormone levels... the differences go beyond that. Bone structure, muscle fiber type, center of gravity... even the male brain is different enough that it is cause for consideration.
