Remember, every hotel room has a Sneako chair.

pyrocynical forced to have a single opinion, shuts down

Pyro can never be insecure, having liking fat farting animals be released about you would make anyone invincible after a while

sneako is definition of "if she can bleed she can breed", i got my first period at 11 bro

Shocker, the Cuties lover doesn’t believe the Age of consent

these comments are perfectly reflective of the reason pyro chooses to avoid being opinionated. He speaks the least and he gets rinsed for not being vocal enough and not giving his opinion. He talks the most, he gets rinsed for giving his opinion (not even a controversial one, a very sane one), especially on such a sinuous topic that isnt as simple as 'yes or no'. god forbid someone withhold their judgement and opinions because they know they arent informed enough to form a final conclusion lmao. maybe you lot should do the same

Daddy want mint mint ?

Listen, I get where Pyro is coming from. I actually agree with him for the most part, but holy crap is he bad at articulating his point. His opinion, and more or less mine, is: “Medical transition, particularly affirming surgeries, can be an amazing thing for the right people, and I hope it is made accessible to people who genuinely need it. However since children may not fully understand the full extent of surgeries, I’m unsure whether or not they should be legal. Unfortunately, there are people who regret surgery, because they didn’t fully realize the extent of their decisions. Whatever the case, people should have an unbiased third-party evaluate their decision, as self-identity is a complicated.” Legit that’s not that controversial of a take and shouldn’t be that hard to say. I don’t wanna dunk on Pyro, I don’t even watch him. Since I, as well as many people, have that or a similar opinion it sucks to see him fumble so hard. (Also yeah I know that the opinion is a long way of saying “idk”. That’s kinda the point. These are just the reasons why we’re uncertain. Life is complicated and nuanced. We’re not experts.)

HONEY WAKE UP!!! THIS YEARS TBH EPISODE CAME OUT!! LAST YEARS WAS SO GOOD!!!

People criticizing pyro for “fence sitting” when it’s an actual complex issue that may require more thought than “yes or no” is kinda insane

Colossal being unable to understand this conversion has a lot more nuance than a simple yes or no answer is pretty revealing

Collosal was not taking their lukewarm responses and I admire that.

I dont think it's unreasonable that pyro gave a complicated answer to a complicated issue.

fuck me ive never heard pyro talk so much to say nothing at all

children cannot consent

As a canadian who has worked with trans minors and around the transition process a gp like nerd said can only do affirming care but they have to send you to both a psychiatrist and therapist who specializes in care of lgbt individuals and both your psychiatrist and therapist have to clear you mentally fit to make the decision as a minor you can't get the surgery but they can start you on hormone blockers at 13 with parental permission and since transitioning isn't a medical surgery it's not covered by our free health care so most people can't even afford it anyways and the hormones are a month thing so to even to be able to get it by 13 price aside you'd have to be in therapy and seeing a psychiatrist since you were about 6 or 7 and have and be mentally fit for at least a year and a half to two years and after starting hormone blockers you'd still have to see both professionals for the whole time you're on the blockers till 18 or you stop taking them so it really more depends on your doctors more than your parents

Pyro went from roasting children, like Leafy did, to being scared of giving his own opinion.

I don't understand this push for a 'yes' or 'no' Pyros explanations made perfect sense

Lots of conflict here would be over if someone researched that this kind of surgery is not done on a minor and it takes years to get to that point.

I like how greasy and sweaty sneako looks in the thumbnail

Not every question is as simple as a yes or no.

I first learned of trans-people when i was 5 years old "I said, okay that's cool" and i stopped thinking about it.

Dolan Carries as usual

Diddy vs critical

I think I have a solution for age of consent and transition thing. It’s all about sex, so ban sex.

I honestly think critikal just hasn't put any thought in the idea of transitioning and upon being pressed he chose what he thought was fine to say. I don't really believe him saying that on the spot he'd already know the age of what an SCO was and I could be wrong. It's obvious critikal was not prepared for the question and the backlash is extreme but it is a double standard for that debate. and now it's probably best for him to never bring it up again since he did clarify that he still thinks children are fine to undergo the processes (horomone treatments and such) to transition in that response he made if they and the parents consent.

"Alot of my fans are trans" so I'm going to avoid the question to not upset any type of demographic I am a fan of pyro I like him but he did dodge the question.

Is it ok to do crack ? Pyro : what do we think of it, guys ?

dappy want mint mint

nerd city don't have a meltdown challenge

Funny Woman Pills

Pyro try to have an opinion challenge level impossible

transfem here Literally just give informed consent and introspection. Adults are expected to do that before like any plastic surgery. Make sure the individual knows what they're getting into and can express their actual feelings with a professional away from external influence, like parents or such. But surgery is only really an option 2 years after hrt, which at max starts around 16 (when i got mine, before the clinic was closed due to conservative lawmakers) puberty blockers can prevent symptoms from getting worse if you're still in puberty, growing unwanted facial hair made me want to tear my face off. Puberty blockers are easy to reverse, and if somebody is forced to go down one puberty then they should get to choose at least.

It's just so wild to be straight and cis and never have that questioned because like.. you inherently know if you are cis and straight, right? But someone who isn't cis and/or straight has to "logically" just "wait it out" (to 25 apparently, lol?) because "your body changes." Like let me know when you grow out of your straightness, gang.

I've had an ex friend who wanted to get a leg lengthening surgery. He was in his twenties. That's insane.

Can relate with the leg lengthening thing, got rid of the urge and snapped out of it but still coping with being 5’1

A good thing about trans affirming care is that it is not black and white. There are many options before any permanent change. There is social transitioning where a kid is called by their preferred pronous, possibly even dressing up differently or changing their name. There is also hornone blockers to prevent puberty, it doesn't cause permanent damage and halts unwanted changes like mammary growth or hair on various body parts. This can be very stressful for a trans kid and gives them more time to think. Like this unwanted growth can cause sh or life ending thoughts. Because puberty is also a permanent change and requires medical help to reverse. Voice training can also help with sounding more masc or fem without the need of hormone medication. In all, I believe as a trans man that kids should be allowed to medically transition after heavily consulting with their medical professional, getting multiple opinions from others, and should be at the min min 16. With the reasoning being life or death. Many other trans people also agree with taking hormone blockers and waiting till old enough. A convo about a blanket statement of yes or no by 4 cis straight men that barely know the topic is very silly. 😅

Childhood transition is like childhood ADHD. Not getting proper treatment can fuck your entire life up. But, doctors did use to massively overprescribe ADHD to any slightly energetic kid, and give them Adderall, which would fuck up those kids. The solution was ultimately to sharpen the edges of what ADHD was, and improve the diagnosis process.

I kindda agree with pyro with treatment. Like we know we dont want kids to drink because alcohol just sucks, its not a core personality trait or identity to like drinking alcohol (and if it is you almost certintly need help). But wanting to transition can be, but its something also dangerous and I think ultimitly pyros answer to the question is "Yes, but with an informed third party and also enough time for the person to ascertain that their very much serious about this and its not some kindda phase or misdirected thinking." It is an answer. Its just not one that can be crammed into a simple Y/N to cover everything. Now, getting surgery, I say bar till 18/adult.

If a person can't get a tattoo until they are 18 the same should apply with both life changing surgeries and puberty blockers

crazy how not being an extremist is fence sitting nowadays

That was fucking delicious! Eggs on toast.

I appreciate Nerd talking about the difference between "proof" and "evidence", in my language (Dutch) "proof" and "evidence" translate into the same term ("bewijs"), it has never occurred to me that those words might be used differently because in my vernacular it quite literally does not exist (or it does but it's some obscure courtroom-specific word I've never heard of).

im trans and this is really painful to listen to. unfortunately it seems all of them dont really know what theyre talking about, and thats fine but heres some education trans kids are definitely real, i was one of them (im an adult now obviously). not all of them are forced into being trans by their parents, or doing it for attention. there is an astronomical difference between getting srs (sexual reassignment surgery), having hormone blockers/replacement, and socially transitioning. being trans doesn't mean "getting your meat snipped", it means being who you want to be openly, regardless of physical appearance. physically transitioning is a whole other thing that a lot of us don't even go through with, but it doesn't make us any less trans

Pyro is kinda right even though the comments are shitting on him, there is no definitive answer to the question only different scenarios playing out with different long therm consequences, we can never evaluate what is going to happen definitely

The CEO of slop struggles with having an opinion about a range of topics for 1 hour, 32 minutes and 22 seconds.

Seen some people dunking on Pyro being a fence sitter about the trans thing but, I do see what he's going for. The parents are a huge factor when it comes to children's decision making and it follows them when they age, even if they disagree later on. Really depends on the environment they grow up in and if that process is worth it for the long term.

I think that Nerd's take on internet restrictions for kids was really good and nuanced, I think It's really important that the label of "this could have stuff that isn't safe" is really good

The transition stuff is pretty simple: If you are of legal age and paying for it yourself, do whatever the fuck you want.

If you do any amount of further research you'll find that surgery AND hrt are already illegal for MOST people under 18 in nearly every country on earth unless you are in EXCEPTIONAL circumstances. If someone thinks they are trans before 18 they MIGHT get to go on puberty blockers which allow them to postpone the hell of going through the "wrong" puberty until they are 18 when they can choose to start hrt/ have surgery if they want to (if they decide not to they just stop taking the blockers and their puberty happens as normal just alot later), and something like over 80% of people who start puberty blockers go on to continue their transition which is often presented as a negative even though its not a negative its literally the whole purpose of the puberty blockers in the first place

As someone that transitioned at 16, I don't think Colossal understands the sheer amount of checks you have to go through in order to even start hormones. I had to get multiple second opinions, consent from my parents, and a written diagnosis of gender dysphoria over the course of 6 months. I had plenty of time to consider the consequences of what I did and was repeatedly informed of the possible side effects, but still went through with it anyways because I was confident that it would benefit me. I understand Colossal concern that kids aren't able to understand the ramifications of transitioning but throughout the actual experience of my transition, I was given a plethora of opportunities to reconsider. I appreciate pyro standing up for us though

Pyro actually spoke this episode

"funny woman pills" thanks pyro i feel so validated

once you look a bit into how transitioning works than the answer become simple. if a teenager under 18 and parents consented and you have the green light from a psychiatrist then you can go ahead and take puberty blocker. once you are 18 and have tried living as the opposite gender ( dressing as the opposite gender, have people use the opposite pronounce etc etc.) and you are comfortable with that decision than you can start actually taking HRT. this way you are at no risk of doing irreversible change to your body that you might regret. and later down the line in your 20s if you wanted to you can go for gender affirming surgery.

I'm only around 15 minutes into this episode, so I hope things changes later on but oh my god Colossal is being so incredibly bad faith with his questions. Nobody is expecting kids to go through surgery for their gender dysphoria. It just simply doesn't happen. All we want is appropriate psychiatric help from qualified therapists, and puberty blockers so that they can put their puberty on hold long enough for them to make a final decision when they're old enough for it with significantly better results for them since they didn't have to go through the puberty of their born sex. It's also worth pointing out that the effects of puberty blockers are entirely reversible as a person can simply stop taking them and their puberty will resume. Discussions like this are always so frustrating to me because none of the people on this podcast know enough about what they're talking about to be able to have a real discussion about it. All of their points are simply based on assumptions and things they think they've heard. We need to be learn to be willing to admit that we don't know enough about something to make an informed comment on it, and if we don't know enough, either don't talk about it, or learn about it. Half-baked topics like this do nothing but hurt people. Edit: Watched through the whole thing now and yeah I've lost a lot of respect for Colossal and Nerd City because of this episode. A lot of completely baseless points were made by them with complete confidence on their end instead of just admitting they don't know. Very disappointed.

This show was fun while it lasted. I hope they resolve their issues and continue. Good episode to end with if not.

As a 21 years old trans person living in a 3rd world country where I could not get gender affirming care nor surgery without jumping through hoops; I do think at least 18 for surgery is best but before that, you can socially transition and see if that's what you want. I've always known I was trans or not my assigned gender even before I found out what it meant- before internet, before even being exposed to anything queer. I felt like something was wrong and hated being perceived as my assigned gender. I also hit puberty at 8 and looked older/taller than children my age so Sneako thinking children that has hit puberty being able to consent with their parents permission made me feel utter disgust. It already happens in 3rd world countries like mine for money and is FAR more widespread than gender affirming surgery on minors. inb4 "tldr" because god forbid someone decides to engage with content under le funny podcast

I think the most important variable that everybody seems to forget is the fact that trans kids DON'T GET SURGERY. Puberty blockers pause puberty in a REVERSIBLE way, giving the kid time to decide and get therapy to figure out if that's the path they wanna take. That's the protocol for care for trans kids.

The standards of care for trans affirming care is social transitioning->pubertyblockers-> at 18 allowed to start hormones with extensive psychiatric care-> 2 years after the start of hrt you can apply for surgery. there are so many steps where one can realise one is wrong, i know people can fall outside of this step system in extreme cases but that happens with everything. the biggest driver is taking out profit out of the medical industry by for example mutualities. and a good psychiatrist (in my case even 2) that both independantly came to the conclusion of gender dysphoria before you can walk past the social transitioning steps. the biggest issue is people completely taking out of context the care system just to get a rise or hate exactly like sneako did. Kids are not getting their d chopped of, this is a complete falsification to get a rise out of people who dont know better. fear mongering has been used in so many situations the fact people dont notice it genuinely baffles me.

real talk, it’s kinda clear y’all don’t ow much about the topic of transitioning and that’s perfectly fine! learning is everything. but it’s slightly upsetting how little most of you know about it, you’re saying things in the tone of ‘this should be how it is!” when that’s LITERALLY how it is and implying it’s not like that. so pleaseeeeee do some research before a topic!! kids (18 and under) HAVE to go to gender therapy, talk to doctors extensively etc etc, only for HORMONES. you can’t get surgery as a child for gender affirming care!! - a trans guy!! i AM very happy you are talking about this topic!! it’s very interesting to hear what others think but i beeegggg of you to make sure to not imply anything bad, we already have it really rough at the moment lmao

the comment section looks more bloodthirsty than normally

16:47 Isn't this just misinformation? When I look up what the regulations in Canada are, I get a set of rules that doctors HAVE TO follow before they're even allowed to administer gender-affirming treatment. Note how this directly contradicts Nerd's claim that the doctors aren't allowed to question a patient's self-diagnosis. They are required by law to question the self-diagnosis.

Very interesting episode. I enjoy when you're just fooling around and having fun, but discussing topics in a more nuanced way is very interesting to listen to as well. The downside is I can't just go and do something else while running the video in the background, I had to sit down and listen closely because I didn't want to miss anything XD

“Funny women pills” 😭😭😭😭😭

My dumb hot take...we'd be better served as a society to stop assuming that just because a boy takes interest in girl things it MUST mean they are trans. By all means, I think adults should have access to gender affirming surgeries, but perhaps prior to becoming an adult we should just follow the kid's lead by letting them explore toys/media/whatever without shaming them for enjoying something "girly" Not saying gender dysphoria isn't real BUT I think a lot of people do the obsession thing like Pyro and the height surgery when it's really just insecurity or whatever about not exactly fitting into "boy norms" Let them explore without stigma, but you don't need to push heady adult issues like gender surgery onto them unless THEY are the ones that bring it up. Then you can start the whole psych eval process to make sure it's legit gender dysphoria and if it persists when they come of age, BOOM, now they can get the surgery and move forward with their new life.

im about half an hour into the video and i wanna point out two things. 1: beginning a transition as a child is not comparable with getting irreversible surgery. it usually starts with the person going on puberty blockers, in most cases until they are adults. if the person changes their mind and realizes that they arent trans, they simply get off puberty blockers. if not, the gender affirming care will proceed. those puberty blockers do no irreversible damage to a child who may turn out to not be trans. as for bottom surgery, it should never be available to minors, but thats besides the point since it isnt anyway. 2: drag is not a fetish. its a hobby, similarly to cosplaying.

Back home in Egypt 1 of my 15 year old cousins was married off to a 30 year old by her family. By 17 he kicked her out and their baby. Now she's back with her family and instead of 1 they're raising 2. Smh!

They're always so late on these podcasts and I really don't understand why when there's like no editing throughout the entire thing

For the first time I agree with the fat furry fetishist british man, it's incredibly complicated to take a stance on such topics. Good podcast.

people should just let kids be kids it's that simple

Idk about the other comments, but im glad the others are also taking part. Not just Nerd ruling it. Im not a Nerd hater, hes great. I just want equal representation. I missed my degenerate (in the most parasocial way possible)

Low key this went from sneko vs moist critical to just sort of talking about pyro and his beliefs. Grated it wasn’t malicious but they said nearly nothing about moist and sneko.

I considered transitioning into an alpha male when I was 12…. I am now sigma🐺🐺😈

i think there’s too much pressure on the parents leaning or pushing their child to ‘be trans’, I haven’t really ever seen or heard of that? being trans myself I grew up with a mix of ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ things but it’s not like anyone pushed me. In fact it came as a surprise to everyone when I felt confident enough to come out. And trans / gender affirming surgery isn’t this one time thing check in check out thing, takes a lot of consultation with doctors, getting proper diagnoses from psychologists and other professionals to make sure you really do exhibit self dysmorphia / being trans. long waiting periods etc, it’s a process. Every step of the way, as I did come out and have started my transition before becoming 18, has been thorough and lengthy. I am so sure of what I’m doing and people around me have also made sure. Also, the rough % of people who de-transition is like 2% or something, surgery at about 5-10%, but mostly due to complications with surgery, not not wanting to be trans.

This topic is not a slippery slope, you shouldn’t have life altering surgery’s before your brain fully develops

Pyro: *Elaborates on a complex topic with insightful and thought provoking opinions* Colossal: yes or no tho

When did we start letting children make life altering decisions?

I think it’s pretty obvious that if a percent regret it because they were young at the time there should be an age limit

if it weren't for colossal this podcast would be like the rest of the internet, people saying "it's a big issue" and dancing around it without giving an opinion for an hour

is charlie okay with catboy ranch?

A lot of the early debate was honestly really grating. Everyone’s heart was in the right place, everyone wanted to do a constructive discussion aside from some of colossal’s old man tier questions but man so many people seemed pretty woefully prepared to even discuss the trans debate when it came to the action process. So much of it was harping on gender reassignment surgery when it isn’t even allowed on those under 18 except for the “r/technicallyTrue” examples as pyro would call it. I was hoping someone would bring affirming care rather than reassignment surgery but it was only until Dolan actually spoke and even then it just loops back to surgery which was only brought up because genital mutilation is such an easy buzzword to bring up against minors going through that process of self discovery. I totally see pyro’s point of view, it’s an extremely loaded question to just drop on someone. The segment just ends up being people trying to get a black and white answer for said loaded question. I’d rather just the topic being on DAP NFTs

My new favourite hobby is to skip 10 seconds forward and backwards whilst Colossal is reading out the sponsored segment.

11:45 well the point is that transitioning surgery carries the risk of regretting it later, but alcohol is literally proven to physically have negative effects on undeveloped livers so yes, it is different

I feel like Colossal was asking the question to Pyro in a disingenuous way. Because while asking about surgery, he also mentioned Hormonal treatments, Which is a very different question. Now the reason i would argue against the leg surgery is because getting the leg surgery should wait. because you're not going to get any less tall in the interim, and you may in fact get taller without a procedure that includes negative side effects even if you get the result you wanted. Additionally, gender reassignment surgeries Can reasonably wait for a simillar reason, they're a static change. However hormonal changes are a long term change, and as such treatments should be available to young trans people (specifically hormone blockers) Because /not/ having the treatment is also a life altering decision. If you believe you are trans as a child and turn out to stand by that decision and are in fact trans but were denied treatment and have gone through The puberty of your assigned gender you are further away from your goal of transition, you have become More evidently the wrong gender, and this can have massively detrimental psychological effects. The opposite being the case where you believe you are trans, get gender reassignment and then realize you do not still feel you are transgender, Is also a negative outcome. Puberty blockers- which are freely given to non trans kids without any incident for precocious/early puberty, Delay natural puberty. which when a child becomes an adult, can either be circumvented and full hormonal transition can begin. or if they decide they are not trans their assigned gender puberty can be resumed by going of the blockers and they can go through puberty with potentially some additional hormones to expedite the process. However (at least in the uk) The Lack of qualified and informed Gender reassignment specialists mean that most British trans people, kids included are stuck on a decade long waiting list to even get their first appointment to be seen by a doctor for their psychological evaluation for treament, at whichpoint they're already an adult and should frankly be allowed to make the choice themselves! I think the fact that Pyro isn't fully familiar with how the treatments work makes his repeated statements that "he's not familiar enough with it to accurately give his opinion" was a reasonable response and could have saved the meandering if the questioning had been dropped. Additionally while Ava kris tyson is a creep and a groomer, failing to use she/her pronouns shows you don't really respect the concept of people being trans enough to use peoples pronouns regardless of the quality of their character or how you feel about them, She's a piece of shit. but she's still a she.

I think this whole conversation is useless until everyone has the same standards... At 14 I was first asked if I want to take the pill, at 13 my friend got a nose job with parents permission and at 17 she got her boob's done and I saw a video of 9-10 year old in an Asian country that got her eyelids one... Why is that OK but when it comes to transgender people it's not?... And actually it doesn't even matter if you think it's OK or not the fact is that for some reason for transgender people the standers are different

Colossal is not based, hes just voicing and asking what 99% of ppl are thinking. But unfortunately in todays age it has to be considered based because, being normal is bad nowadays

It’s practically impossible to start medically or surgically transition under the age of 18 anyway (as a trans person) it’s so difficult to do it’s a dumb argument as less than 1% of people can do it at that age and less than 1% of trans people regret transitioning anyway

I'm not an expert, a parent, or a trans person. My opinion doesn't matter. That said, I used to think gender affirming care for kids was okay, but lately I'm not so sure. I don't think children should ever be given gender reassignment surgery (to my knowledge, no one under the age of 18 ever has edit: in Canada), and gender affirming care, like puberty blockers, should only be given to children after extensive psychological assessments and care to determine if it's even needed. But I don't think any of this gets to the heart of the issue. The fact is, society starts gendering children way too early. As soon as they know the biological sex of the child, adults start imposing arbitrary gender "rules" on them, like girls wear pink and have to play with dolls etc while boys wear blue and have to play with trucks etc. That's weird. Kids just play. At no point should the colors a child likes or the kinds of toys a child plays with be used to determine their gender, and the toys and colors they're "allowed" to be into shouldn't be determined by their biological sex. It's incredibly messed up that society imposes these rules when in reality a child is just a child. Give them a chance to freely develop preferences, teach them biology (of both sexes), teach them morals and history. But the hardcore gendering in general needs to stop. I think society is just so messed up for deepening the gender divide with every generation and sexualizing children from a young age. Don't people see that's probably why kids are developing gender dysphoria at younger and younger ages?

25:51 exactly! The overwhelming obsession with drag representation over anything else makes it feel like they're ignoring the rest of the community.

The reason the NHS is so overworked because it's full of people enquiring about leg lengthening surgery taking up all the GPs time

I think people get so worked up about these things (regarding the "trans question") because they simply don't understand. I think the "would you be okay with if parents consented and kid consented the kid goes thru transition" is am extremely baity and bad faith question (and comparing it to leg surgery is even more baity) because when people think about transition they think about chop chop lower parts go bye bye and that's it, but that's NOT it. Before any type of surgery come hormones (reversible with very minimal leftover effects) and SOCIAL transitioning where the person adapts to their new identity and can make choices about how they are percieved- and if at ANY point during that process they regret it THEY CAN GO BACK! Surgery IS a life changing decision but surgery WILL NOT come when you are 8 or 9 or 10, it will come when you are 18, 19 or more- when you've been trans for YEARS and are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SURE that you want it. So the answer to "would it be okay for a kid to transition if they and their parents consent to it" is always yes because it's NOT PERMANENT! It's a long process that can be reversed, that will help whoever needs it A LOT and if you end up figuring out that you don't need it, you can just reverse it. Pyro's undecisiveness was warranted because he was being asked a narrowing, unfair question about a very broad and complex topic that is full of nuances (even worse- he was being asked an unrelated question the answer to which would later be extrapolated to a completely different topic). In general this was kind of upsetting to listen to honestly. But anyway, that's my piece, I'll fuck off now. Trans rights are human rights.

To the question of how old a child should be to access the internet, I feel that the question should be a little different. It should be how old someone should be to have their own personal cell phone with internet access. The reason is because when you have a cell phone w/internet, you never put it down & it is like a drug to kids. Also, it is pretty much impossible to monitor as a parent. It's turning out that it is a bad thing for adults. How can a child process the constant barage of crap. I don't think it's a coincidence that the world started going insane after around 2010 when the cell phone became available to everyone. I do have personal experience with this for what it is worth. I have a stepdaughter & if I could go back in time, I never never never would have given her a cell phone around the age of 13. It turned out to be a disaster.

32:30 Everyone has an opinion on something, whether they could change their opinion with more research or not they have one at any given moment. The only reason not to give an opinion is because you think it would end poorly for you, like the secret service director who kept saying "I'll have to refer you to the FBI" who said they'd "have to refer you to the secret service" when asked the same question. It's evading the question for Pyro to say he has no opinion, not answering it because he actually has no opinion, and that's evident by how he dances around saying "no they shouldn't" with his own example of getting height surgery being a bad decision no matter what.

Pyro can't choose a side to save his life.

calm 5 lines of coke on the ad read for colossal

I actually can’t finish this video it’s sad the lack of research done and the lack of talking to people experiencing the topics talked about as a trans person I’m disappointed

26:38 wild sentence right there

W Colossal, calling out bs left and right.

Sneako be a closet member of NAMBLA
