You sure about that? Are you convinced that gender dysphoria isn't a real disorder that can, in many cases, be effectively cured via cosmetic surgery? I think those poor folks, the _real_ transsexual people who _actually_ suffer, deserve our empathy and the dignity of not blatantly misgendering them for the fun of it. Of course, I also believe that those people make up a relatively small percent of all the trans-trenders coming out of the woodwork nowadays, but we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater on this because going too far really could cause actual harm, if even to only a small minority of people.

Her point is BS, too. Any foreign language was not allowed DURING SCHOOL, where they were all taught to speak English -- because you cannot teach a classroom full of kids speaking different languages, and they wanted them listening, not chatting among their friends.l during class time. That goes for Gaelic people, Native Americans, Italians, and on and on, including Czech for my mother and French for my father. No one banned their native tongue in a home setting among loved ones of the same background. What a bunch of crap she's trying to insinuate.

[@JamesJNothingIsTooSensitive]

Because all they can do is lie to support their narrative. They lie when they speak, they lie about what you said when you speak, and they lie when they pretend to not understand what you actually said. They're just purely deceitful all around. Why? Because their entire identity is based on a lie from the start! That's how they go around claiming to be "non-binary" as if they somehow define what a species is - we ARE a binary species, you don't get a choice. How they claim to be the opposite gender - you aren't and never will be. You don't get a choice. And so much more. Their entire identity is a lie, so why be surprised when they are liars?

@@amandakuykendall2911 I think you misunderstood- He’s pointing out the irony of a person insisting on being accepted for something that they are not physically but that said person states that they are on the inside. Those feelings or beliefs that one has about who that person is can change. For example being non-binary. Well unless a person is born intersexed then a person is either a male or female. One can say hey I don’t fit into either group in terms how I behave or feel about my self. Ok. Yet some will claim - no my biology is neither male nor female. I think the doctor would have noticed that a long time ago. I personally know someone like that. Well that doesn’t happen. People dont spontaneously grow reproductive organs of the opposite sex. Concrete thinkers like my self and I think this other person is, have brains that think in very rational manners so thinking in very non- concrete ways is something that is seen as irrational. To someone who thinks differently whose brain works differently this might be ok but for my self that is the same as saying 1+1= kangaroo 🦘 + cheese. 🧀 Huh?

"has a problem with authority" was often on my report card but usually it meant I wouldn't just take abuse even from a teacher. The teachers that were respectful to me loved me. You can be whatever you want but you can't make me believe it. The more they try the more I will resist because it's not reality to me and I won't play along.

I saw this when it first aired. I’m a POC gay male and I’m appalled that these trans activists of the last five years have highjacked society. I’m no longer a democrat as the biggest threat to our society right now is the extreme left like these alphabet mafia gustapos. It no one’s right to feel comfortable. We’ve all met someone who dislikes someone or something so much that it can’t do no good. I’ve met someone who I could say, “oh wow, it’s a beautiful day today”. They respond, “don’t tell me to be happy!”. I’m like, “I didn’t tell you to do anything”. . . . “Well that’s what I heard!” True story. I was helping and rehabilitating a homeless meth addict. So you can’t reason with someone else’s emotion and their feeling should not dictate law and infringe on other people’s rights.

That JP interview or discussion is quite an old one, the most incredible part of that discussion was the gay so-called professor, stating with a straight face, that there is no such thing as biological sex, and that anyone who thinks that or believes it is a fool. The gay professor then goes on to lecture Peterson about learning and to be willing to educate yourself about the truth! How arrogant can you be. The gay professor also states he is right because he is, quote, "An historian of medicine", as if that is relevant at all to the discussion of that panel. Pretty much saying, "Oh I'm an historian of medicine, so I know more than you do about trans issues, and biology". Really, how can you be that arrogant? Needless to say, JP after all this became super famous and influential, super rich, and gay so-called professor, and self-appointed historian of medicine, sank into notorious obscurity.
