Its so weird that transgender people still try to argue that gender isnt a fact. Like why are you changing your gender if there is no distinction between a male or female. Its just baffling to me

Well it is a big problem so that needs to be discussed.

There will always be confused people but that does not not mean everyone will have to play along with their confusion, it will only make things worse in the future. Especially when confusion spreads into every field of society it’s going to be a mad house.

@@Bewefau Someone born with a birth abnormality doesn't in any way refute the fact that men and women are two distinct, easily distinguishable forms of humans and that those two forms are defined by a set of universal, consistent traits. I'm sure you could find a person born without a limb. Does that mean we don't describe humans as having four limbs? Since when do you define an entire species or gender based on birth defects? If someone has a dick, then you can safely bet 99.99% of the time that person is a dude. If someone got a bunch of surgery to look like a woman but still has a dick, they are still a dude.

As a black man I can say that Shapiro is 100% correct about the skills segment. I’m a Quality Control Inspector of Electronics. I went to school and served in the US Navy. I’m from a block called Columbia Road(C-Road). I grew up around nothing but violence and I even sold drugs earlier in my teenage life. My moms stayed on me unlike a lot of the other guys from my hood! Out of 30 of us that hung together only 3 of us are accomplished. The rest dropped out of school in the 7th grade. Wanting more out of life, not blaming the white man, and gaining the skills and education I needed to make it is all I did. They could have done the same! Why didn’t they? That’s the question that should be asked of my people. Why are some of us making it out the misery while others stay and call it the struggle. Let’s talk about it!

[@acricucci9760]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm 75 and I wish the question you ask is one that could be asked over and over, until every black person who struggles with no end in sight has had a chance to look at their own life experience and think about that question. I'm not black so please forgive my ignorance on this subject, but I've thought for many it must seem hopeless if they are buckling under the weight of a lack of money/education/job and can't even see how to take the first step. What would be the right response to that? Thank you again.

[@danielbishop9077]

I won't praise you for doing anything other than what most people are offered in a free society. I agree that higher education is expensive. But I also will add, libraries are free to use. All children, whatever background, need encouragement and support. Blaming society for one's failure isn't going to help anyone. Be proud of who you are and what you can achieve.

The welfare system was not what it is today. It was strictly medical, foodstamps and a cash stipend once per month. she busted her hump, going to school everyday. This meant getting up at the crack of dawn to get me to a sitter and getting to school 2 towns away. She did this whether she was tired, sick, or whatever. She did it until she earned her college degree. Not only a degree, but a teaching certificate on top of that. She didn't have the luxury of saying that because of her culture she couldn't succeed.

There are personal reasons for people to stop procreating. I have two children, and as a woman I couldn't have more. Also as the oldest of 4 children, I'm appalled when I see households of 6, 8, 10 children. The mom is the one who raises all those children.

@swittyss6028 Yes he is but he's not always correct. He said that a citizen's arrest cannot be done for a misdemeanor but only for a felony. In California, (Ben's home state) unless a cop witnesses a misdemeanor, he/she cannot make an arrest. Only a citizen who witnessed the misdemeanor can make the arrest. In the case of a felony, a cop can make an arrest if there is probable cause to do so whether or not she/he witnessed the felony.

In my opinion, the bigger issue is anyone identifying themselves by a gender, sex, race, sexuality, etc. Is there nothing else in their lives? A person is defined by their accomplishments. None of those things are accomplishments. They should turn all that attention into developing personal skills that are beneficial to themselves and others.

Are you still internally one gender and externally another? I argue it's less activism and more about constant progress in psychology and similar fields of science, and how we create a sense of self-identity and what we want to be recognized as due to our social needs.

[@Johnsmithhjoe]

Fallacies have no place in real arguments and should only be used to learn how to debate. Those who use fallacies aren't intelligent and only use them as a cheat because they aren't capable of critical thought. A fallacy is an attempt to catalogue common errors. Think of it like [x + y] = z or [a - b] =/= c where z, c are fallacies. In an argument you need to prove that adding x and y is equal to z. You can't just state "what you said equals z". It is equivalent to writing a math test and not showing your work. It becomes extremely evident you needed a calculator for basic addition but it is also impossible to know whether or not you actually know the answer, or guessed it. If you do that you aren't winning the argument. 1. An argument with a "fallacy" can still be correct 2. There's no way of knowing if the person calling out the fallacious argument actually knows what they are talking about 3. The only response to "that's a fallacy" is "no it's not [restate points]" I figured this out before learning about it but for anyone who isn't capable of critical thought you can look up the fallacy fallacy. For example: "that's the authority fallacy" should be "authority figures aren't always right and there is evidence that..."

First time I ever heard of this Ben. I LIKE HIM!!!❤

[@RachelShapiro-xt1nu]

I just don’t understand why we are even debating this issue, when I was a kid this was never and issue, you knew who in your class were boys and who were girls. The fact that this is even a debate is absolutely ridiculous what are society has become. Ben thank you for setting these idiots straight.

[@sidescrollmusic]

What a great speaker Ben is! Sometimes it's exhausting listening to people who drag their speech with "ahs" and "uhms." Ben is so clear it's incredibly refreshing and easy to pay close attention to. Awesome.

@@jonnychainwreath2869 i, like, despise when people uh... think those who think before they speak or have social anxiety are objectively dumber than those who can talk fast. i especially despise it when people see this as a generational problem because it demeans those in said generation and teaches them that if they cant say what they want to say without stuttering then they're stupid and their opinion doesn't matter. i despise it more when i think about how insulting an entire generation like this stops them from speaking up/speaking their mind because they think their opinions aren't valuable. your opinion is valuable. your thoughts are valuable. your breath is valuable too. so please stop wasting it, like, spouting uh... sewer water out of your um... mouth.

Ben is astoundingly intelligent. Few are as quick thinking and articulate as him. He can sift through his thoughts to bring up facts and talking points at lightning speed without a stutter. He makes these kids look like drooling morons by comparison. Debating this man in a public setting like this is just foolish. We need more minds like him in this world!

He completed harvard law school in less than two years. "Normal" Harvard Law Students take a minimum of three years.

[@evagaymer3301]

well ben has had years of tv presenting to build up speaking skills. debating with people who had none of that training. i dont believe ben is stupid but hes not 'astoundingly intelligent' when u actually break down his points you realise the facts are actually against the majority of what he says. or hes mis interpretted facts. if being astoundly intelligent is just talking fast and ignoring facts,case studies and science. then sure

Appropriate quotation marks

[@tardischick6629]

Scientists and doctors around the world, including countries that are far better educated than America, agree that transgenderism isn't a mental disorder, it's simply how that person's brain patterns are 'wired.' A recent study corroborates previous studies that show that transgendered individuals have similar brain patterns to those who's sex they identify with. Fact of the matter is, this is not something that should be political as there is zero reason for it to be. A person's health, mental or physical, should be between them and their doctor and no one else. Transgendered individuals are shown to have similar levels of ptsd as African Americans who have grown up in the United States, as well as those who have grown up in the Middle East, while transgendered individuals who grow up in countries such as Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland are found to have much lower suicide rates and mental health disorders.
