I was someone who was an insecure young teenager because I did not feel "girly" enough. In those days there was no such thing as transitioning, and I am so glad there wasn't. If there had been I probably would have started the process of transitioning from a female to a male. In the end, all it took was me accepting the fact that I was simply a "Tom-boy" in those early adolescent years who liked doing all the guy things, and was more comfortable in pants than I was in a dress. Today, I am a happily married women (to a man) with two grown sons. So with that said, I think what JP is trying to say is that we need to stop telling young "Tom-boy" girls that they are really boys in stuck in a girls body. And we need to stop brainwashing their young little minds into believing they need to start transiting to feel good about themselves. Instead maybe all they need to do is simply wait to see how things play out once they have grown out of that terrible insecure adolescent stage.

[@KenBailey6721]

Thanks for sharing this experience. So many people need to hear this!

[@hellovicki6779]

I have yet to see any widespread evidence where health professionals, parents and adolescents involved make such a decision regarding sex/gender/surgery/medications rashly. Tomboy girls are not rare and this issue is not about misunderstanding such girls nor misunderstanding young men who have obvious feminine traits. I am not convinced there is a coordinated effort to brainwash young ones towards changing their gender. I do believe the stigma and vilification of these people has lifted somewhat, they are able to speak openly, assert rights and not be discriminated against. I also think exploration of the gender spectrum, sexual conduct, change and new tolerance is a much needed quality in society which this topic promotes.

[@BlahblahblahblahblahblahblahFU]

This was your story. The issue is not being a “Tom-boy” is a literal feeling of not feeling the sex you were meant to be. It is NOT a stage... this is not even an issue! There are more issues for kids/teenagers not being able to identify with their sex to be. There’s a process that the child/teenager has to go through with many doctors. It’s their choice.

I am gay and Jordan gets it when he says "LGBTQ is not a community" That is the truth. I am gay and I am not part of LGBTQ. I am an individual with my own beliefs and thoughts and it is often contrary to the beliefs of LGBTQ. I just happen to be gay.

NO! You ARE part of "it." And, you didn't just "happen" to "be" gay. You "chose" homosexuality as your preferred lifestyle, no different from a women who chooses to be a lesbian or a man a gigolo and so on. Trans is a grossly dysphoric psychological condition where the focus is entirely different, a rejection of one's own physical being. Very sad. The most obvious evidence is that LGTBQ+ individuals demand that "others" embrace, not just accept their dysphoria. My response is to quote Dr. Peterson: "You can go to hell in a hand-basket."

[@sierrah5928]

Obviously I don’t know how at this point you’ve discussed things with them. But I think a compromise could be offered if it hasn’t already. Binders could be a relatively good compromise as long as they’re used in a safe way along with the usage of sports bras, undershirts etc. I would also add that a component could be respecting how they want to be called if it’s different than how they’re already being called. Like using son or referring to them as a he. Even if you feel internally that they’re still your daughter. I would also give them the space to understand that they can explore this without it being a commitment and can change if they feel they want to. If we look at as in they are trans and they really do feel that way then not offering any compromises could be cruel and hurt your relationship even more. Or on the other hand if they feel like they might like this way better than how they are now offering comprises may help them get closer to what they feel they desire. They try it out and know that maybe this isn’t for me and change back to female pronouns etc. On the note of surgery again I have no idea how you’ve talked about it but I would state that there are many surgeons that won’t operate on young trans or even older trans people until they show signs of body dysmorphia for around 3-4 years. I would also note that if they are trans while their breasts may be a big point of dysmorphia, surgery will be just as effective at any age. I would note that this feels really new to you that surgery is a huge commitment and I would advise saying how you feel really uncomfortable with this aspect and you love them but you aren’t comfortable with surgery at this stage and instead offer in other ways (binders, undershirts, pronouns, maybe a short haircut etc.) to help explore this side of them they want to change. It’s also good to inform them of the risks of binding and help them make that decision if they even want to go there. I hope I could offer some advice. My own personal experience when I was a teenager at one point I cut my hair very short and started dressing very masculine and I had never heard of a trans person. But I did stick out a bit and felt weird in regards to femininity what was expected to be feminine and a woman and masculinity. I just was at a weird space I was around 15. However I never felt that I was stuck in the wrong body but I did have a desire to fully dress up as a guy sometimes. I watched a video later about someone transitioning to be transgender and I cried and thought that could be me however 2 days later I realized that it wasn’t. And later on in that year I was misgendered as male and it didn’t feel right or comfortable. I guess at that time I was reestablishing my feelings about expectations and gender presentation. It took me a while but I slowly over the years dressed as more feminine and dissociated feminine clothing as being an entirely very womanly woman. I knew right away pretty much that it didn’t feel right. So I think it’s best to let them explore and I think they will come into their own and figure things out.

[@communityrags6048]

The answer is pretty simple. Abolish gender completely. The reality is that gender is made up, as much as 'race' is - and is just as meaningful/less. Gender is cultural / social / fashion. I think people are less likely to undergo surgery if they are allowed to present as one gender and retain their original genitalia - it follows logically. The definition of man and woman should not be about penises and vaginas.

[@jamiemoore7007]

I can speak first hand on this. My daughter was a socially awkward kid much like I was. When the “scene” phase hit schools I followed that trend and grew out of it. But tight pants and goofy hair didn’t have any long term adverse effects, besides some ribbing later on. Now this transgender and identifying with your pronouns has hit the schools; and my daughter has followed suit. One day it was she was weirded out by her peers. Then she said she was pan and gained some more friends. When her first friend came over it was clear what was going on. These are just awkward kids looking to fit in. Now my daughter is talking about hormone blockers. Her mother is unquestioning and supports her. Meanwhile I’m absolutely terrified she has no idea about the full ramifications of what this means. Luckily my daughter is smart enough to have reasonable conversations with me. After many talks she has came to the conclusion that she is lesbian. But I’m afraid for other children where the parents are too afraid to talk to their children on these matters.

[@MimCotton]

80% of dysphoric children turn out to be gay. So this 'affirmative' principle - 'acceptance without question' is in fact gay conversion therapy for a majority of children. Your daughter is lucky that she had you as a parent, you have saved her from doing something that she would have regretted the rest of her life.

What idiots like Peterson seem to neglect is gender dysphoria is an actual real thing. It is something that affects a person at a physical level, it's not something you just choose to have or decide you want to be to "fit in".

[@Liam1536]

You’re being dishonest or you’re just ignorant of the facts but the study you’re referring to about the trans population doubling every 5 years is very misleading without the proper context the follow up study was done with a new modeling strategy that made their sample size bigger than previously as well as them adding a question if they were transgender unlike the previous study that only came to the estimation by determining if they were transgender based off question patterns instead so it’s not necessarily as big of a trend in population as you may think but it is undeniable that it’s increasing just not to the extent you believe which makes perfect sense knowing how left handiness being socially acceptable made it so more left handed people existed the same case is for trans people so no it’s not a social contagion that’s nonsensical

[@nightwingvyse]

@Liam1536 ​​⁠You're the ones being dishonest with yourselves. It's nonsensical to deny that it's social contagion, and I'll explain why. 1. The exponential trend of LGBT identifying youth is directly correlated to how much access they have to social media. 2. You can compare the exponentially growing rate of trans against the proportional decline of homosexuals. Studies have shown that about 80% cases of gender dysphoria are just misdiagnosed homosexuality, and that well over 90% of cases actually resolve themselves and go away if treated properly with therapy instead of castration pills and mutilation. But therapy isn't allowed in some countries anymore where laws have been put in place to prevent therapists and psychologists from looking for any other resolution other than putting them on the LGBT conveyor belt. It's now considered "conversation therapy" to help someone accept themselves and be happy with who they are while it's called "affirmation care" to chemically prevent healthy puberty, prescribe cross-sex hormones and mutilate genitals to make them crudely resemble other genitals. 3. Go anywhere outside the Western world and see how much of it believes in this gender nonsense. If you go to a tribe in Africa they wouldn't even understand the concept. 4. It's distinctly generational. The identification rate of each generation is exponentially higher than the one before that. In fact the earliest recorded case of someone identifying as the opposite sex was in the 1910's who robbed a bank I believe and she wanted to be in prison with the men because that's who she felt like. Any other examples you might think of in history (like two-spirit etc) are modern appropriations of historical tradition which actually had nothing to do with someone of one sex believing themselves to be the other. 5. It's localised mostly to certain regions in the Western world. The rate of LGBT identification is densely grouped in certain places while extremely sparse in others, even within countries that accept it. 6. Despite being supposedly an oppressed group, people are now clambering to identify with one of its many facets, even making up new categories to do so, and this happens mostly when those people are already surrounded by that very group. On a side note, when before in history have people exponentially clambered to identify with a supposedly oppressed group? 7. Ever notice how the celebrities whose children end up identifying with this group all happen to be partially woke? You can even observe many of them determining that their kids will be LGBT long before it happens, and sometimes before they're even born. For instance, Megan Fox decided her kid was trans because she could "feel the energy" while she was still pregnant, and what a surprise!!! Her son likes to wear dresses (which she must have already bought for him first). These celebrities are a public representation of what's happening in the general population too. 8. The entirety of gender ideology was made up by a number of figures in 20th century Western world, and we know who they are. They were almost all "sexologists", and curiously enough they ALL were proud pedophilia apologists. Outside of that, you won't find this gender nonsense anywhere else in the world or in history. The main figures were John Money who coined "gender" for humans, which until then the word was a purely linguistic term. He was first to summise there's a gendered aspect of humans distinct from sex, and that it's socially constructed and therefore could be socially conditioned. You can look up his work in detail but in summary his experiments lead to the suicides of his subjects (who he sexually abused in childhood) and his own work proved his own theory wrong. That same theory you insist is legitimate while his work is still used to supposedly affirm gender ideology today. Then there's Alfred Kinsey, a sexual deviant to got into "sexology" in order to destigmatize his sexual fetishes. He enjoyed things like strangling his testicles whole shoving pencils up his urethra (real example). He insisted that most people were like him but were just repressed, he made up his own figures out of whole cloth about things like how how 90% of farmers rape their own animals and how over half the population was gay etc. Out of his two most influential works, the first was found to be fraudulent when it was found sexual data he claimed was from the general population was actually from sex offenders in prison. He did this to skew sexual deviance data to normalize his own. His second work includes a table ("Table 34") recording the orgasm times of children as young as 5 months. He got this data by collaborating with active pedophiles and having them pass their findings on to him, yet he never reported a single one to the authorities. Those two fraudulent and pedophilic works are also cornerstones of a huge portion of the work on gender ideology has been built on too. Then there's Volkmar Sigusch, who coined the term "cis" in the 90's. He insisted there was no such thing as immoral sex between anyone and anything, he said that pedophiles shouldn't be punished, that child sexual abuse "benefits the victim" and he also blamed sexual assault on feminists because they were against pedophilia and he claimed that not being able to sexually abuse children made people sexually abuse each other. These are the patron saints of the ideology you're defending. They're the big three but you'll find similar stories and similar defence of pedophilia from any of the others you might look up. There's also the fact that the idea of a woman being in a man's body or vice versa, just makes no sense and can be nothing more than a superstitious and spiritual claim rather than anything based on real science. What part of a man is actually a woman? The brain? Well the brain is part of the body so by definition that brain inside the man's body is by definition a man's brain, as are the synaptic signals it creates. Can a man have a woman's arm. Can a woman have a man's leg? Every study used to support gender ideology and how it benefits people all have invalid methodology, often in multiple ways. They tend to be funded by institutions and carried out by researchers who even admit the conclusion they want the study to come to ahead of time, which is not how science can be truthfully done. The ones claiming that people are happier after transition use incredibly small sample sizes which are cherry picked even smaller after they transition to get the results they prefer, and none of them have ever followed on more than 3 months after transition when the patients are still under the drug-like euphoria of cross-sex hormones and haven't had any significant time to really assess how their lives have been permanently changed. The only study ever done with a large sample and over many years was in Scandanavia, and that study found (against the researchers intentions) that it has no long-term benefit when it comes to levels of happiness, and it even suggested it might be detrimental to mental health, as it also found that the highest rate of suicide in the trans"community" is at 7-13 years post-op. They kill themselves the most, AFTER surgery. Now that's out of the way, I just have two questions for you that I'd like you to attempt to answer coherently: 1. What is a woman? 2. What is the precise distinction between gender and personality? Not sure if my comment will last long before it's removed for heresy against the alphabet cult, but see if you can answer those intelligibly and without psychobabble before that happens.

To a child that is still developing and building/discovering their identity, it is all too easy to influence them with conditioning (in this case, positive affirmation for the label). When I was a child just wanted to have fun and be accepted by my parents, and they were proud of me and called me brave when I dressed up as a girl, I would have done it more often.

Old gay here with a spouse who has diagnosed dysphoria (diagnosed almost twenty years ago mind you). The only reason I mention that is to provide context. Dr. Peterson, generally speaking, is spot on regarding contemporary trans issues, especially when it comes to Page. And no Kyle, (2:00), the trans issue is not the same as the gay issue from before. Being-trans is, in no uncertain terms, an existential incongruity whereas sexual preference is a matter of a priori taste (for lack of better words). The two things are not even in the same ballpark as each other at the level of concept. The two categories were lumped together for so longed, typically because of shared sexual interest and because both demographics were legitimately, systemically oppressed e.g. no state recognition of natural rights such as marriage, or the right to serve openly in the military , the latter of which actually warranting some attention when it comes to military readiness (i.e. a person who requires constant, uninterrupted chemical therapy cannot serve in a forward location). Final note: Again, Dr. Peterson is right, especially now. (7:10) There is no community. Shared sexual interest constitutes a community about as much as shared interest in ice cream flavor or television programming, maybe less so. In the latter half of the 20th century it might have been a community, but nothing of the sort exists now outside of individuals so shallow in their character that all they can be "proud" of is the types of bodies they spend physically intimate moments with.

Given how often gay people express gender non conforming traits and interests there’s probably a continuum or some overlap on a biological level for what we now separate as gender and sexuality.

[@freedomextremist7215]

There is a big difference between the moral panic over gays and this issue. The "side effect" of accepting gay marriage and teaching kids to not discriminate is acceptable because our society norms help avoid anything irreversible before they become adults. A kid can think they may be gay, but they will have a LOT of time to ponder over it, while they will be prevented from engaging in sexual activity. This helps filter out confusion and gives them time to refine their own identity and understanding of themselves. Things are different for trans issues, especially with surgery as an option. Even without surgery, the context is different. There was an upsurge in adolescents saying they are gay, but that upsurge corrects itself with time and hardly any damage is done to society or the people around. Prejudice itself was a filter that helped making this less of an issue. We went from a situation of prejudice for people who go out of the norm to validation and extra attention. That's just as bad when it comes to LGB people, but it gets 10x worse for transgenderism since a surgery is irreversible. How can anyone be transgender before puberty? It's a contradiction in itself. Puberty changes the chemistry of the brain to a large extent, so it would be VERY easy for a kid to be influenced by the positive attention and indoctrination.

So much so, that individuals philosophically struggling to grasp their overall human identity see trans issues as an acceptable escape route or explanation for what's "wrong" with them - when in fact it is a temporary, inadequate mask that only eventually exacerbates the underlying psychological/physiological issues they have. It can also not be ignored that at the end of the day, absolutely no amount of butchering can actually turn a male into a female, or vice versa. It is a costume, at best. And just like any person pretending to be someone that they're not, there will always be a deep internal discomfort stemming from that inescapable fact that they are not who they say they are. They are fraudulent. And others know it as well; a lie only goes so far. Females with what are considered to be predominantly male social characteristics are not males; they are females with male personality traits. At a base level, there is nothing wrong with cross-gender tendencies, and this has been accepted as reality for all of time. To put as simply as possible, not every girl likes pink princesses, and not every guy is into monster trucks - nobody disputes the obvious variations of femininity and masculinity. And generally speaking, that is perfectly fine. Discrepancies in gender norms does not change the reality of who people actually are, though.

I think at the heart of what Mr. Peterson is saying is that we are being painted this “all is hunky dory” picture of those who transition when in reality, even if for arguments sake that’s what would theoretically be best for them, the real world physical results are very blunt and complicated. The activism surrounding this paints the picture of these transitioned folks finally being able to live as their “true selves” but in 99% of instances that newfound true self has a myriad of health issues and physical complications to deal with. I think he’s harping on the reality that we don’t live in a futuristic Star Trek world where you can just switch your gender, back and forth, consequence free from Chris Hemsworth to Cindy Crawford. Thus his long pause on the question of banning it. I’m sure he knows how totalitarian it could be construed to be hung up on that but he’s well versed enough on the subject to recognize the immense issues of it being allowed to begin with. Physically altering your body to try and appear as something you’re not (biologically) and signing up for a lifetime of hormonal treatments that are only there to supply you with something you were never gonna have to begin with is not just a decision, it’s a crossroads that can’t be undone.

[@jesspeed]

@@jerkchickenblog in kind? Since when do you need to be kind in a discussion? If you were kind, you wouldn’t even get anything productive done. You wouldn’t even tackle these issues because you’d be scared to be unkind. These discussions are complex discussions where pushback WILL happen. They are so complex that multiple connections are made to the “main question”. This is not a black and white issue. For example, did you really think a question about adults doing whatever the fuck they want in society wouldn’t get children involved in that discussion when adults and children are so deeply intertwined to such a degree that they can’t live without each other? The thing that actually annoyed me as well is the fact that he tried to move the topic away from children. That WAS a confrontation, a confrontation to avoid talking about the elephant in the room. Why? Is it because the moment you bring in children, your arguments sounds very wrong and evil? The “let’s get back to the main question” is a pretty terrible attempt of actually dismissing Jordan’s points on the involvement of children, individuals that are actually deeply rooted into the question itself. It was quite obvious and I’m sure Jordan picked up on this confrontation as well. That was the remarks he was mentioning (I’m sure he also picked up on some more queues to make an educated guess) that pointed towards his beliefs though I’ll have to give it to the other because he didn’t mention his belief so Jordan had no concrete proof that was his belief even when his after remarks pointed towards his stance of that matter. Now the question becomes more of a “should adults do whatever the fuck they want without any responsibilities for the sake of freedom of expression” or “should adults take responsible actions in their lives because the next generation of kids are watching with hawk eyes and responsible actions will also help these adults in the long run.” (Btw, I still consider people “kids” until their brain have fully matured which is at the age of 26, even if the law considers them adults at 18.) For example, would you do a drag show in front of kids? You’re an adult, you’re free to do whatever the fuck you want (even these are limited like you can’t commit crimes) and you’re not responsible for some other parents bringing their kids to your drag shows but would you take the moral responsibility of at least requesting for no kids at your drag shows? We already have the answer and these adults picked the first option. They don’t give a shit about who they hurt as long as it’s within the law and they will even influence the next generation of kids just because they want society to be painted in their color. The question is “can we ban adults doing bad things in society” and it’s obviously a bad thing considering all the negative effects that are happening to those young folks and to western society as a whole. Look into what Marxism is and how they are reflected in the alphabet group (and more). Like Jordan said, you might have saved one person but you doomed a 1000 more. So do we allow adults to negatively fuck up their own life and influence children into making the same mistake (look at the suicide rate statistics after transitioning and no it’s not a bully thing because if it was, we’d have an epidemic of suicides in the past when people were more critical of bs, and that didn’t happen) all in the name of freedom of expression, or do we ban those things from happening for the sake of these kids not turning into these shit shows? And that’s a complex question to answer. Protect kids by putting a limit on freedom of expression, specially the bad expressions, or protect all freedom of expression regardless if they’re good or bad and just don’t interfere at all and let these kids make the same mistakes in their lives when they grow up. Another example is like saying if a group’s freedom of expression is to worship Satan and adults have to willingly sacrifice their lives to it, do we protect that freedom of expression or do we ban it because we know it’s gonna turn more kids (and adults) suicidal. The “I don’t know” answer is perfectly understandable specially when it comes from Jordan’s character.

@@jesspeed I respectfully disagree with your stance on trans adults and their influence on children. It is important to recognize that trans individuals are not inherently immoral or harmful to society. In fact, research shows that trans youth who are supported in their gender identity have better mental health outcomes and a lower risk of suicide. Additionally, it is important for all individuals, including children, to have representation and visibility in society. It is not the responsibility of trans adults to shield children from the reality of their existence. It is the responsibility of parents and caregivers to educate their children and foster open-mindedness and acceptance. And while some may argue that trans individuals performing in drag shows or other public events may be inappropriate for children, it is important to remember that these events are not solely for children and that parents have the ability to decide what is appropriate for their own children to attend. Finally, I urge you to consider the impact of language like 'the alphabet group' and accusations of Marxism, as they serve only to marginalize and further stigmatize a vulnerable community.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your story about your friend. It sounds like she went through a lot of confusion when she was younger, but eventually figured things out and is now living a happy life. That's great to hear! I understand your concerns about gender reassignment surgeries, but I don't think it's fair to generalize based on one person's experience. There are many trans people who feel much happier and more comfortable after transitioning, and I think it's important to respect their choices. It's also worth noting that these surgeries are not taken lightly and are only recommended after extensive evaluation by medical professionals. It's not like people just walk into a clinic and demand surgery without any thought or consideration. Overall, I think it's important to listen to and support trans people in their journeys. It's not our place to judge or dictate what's best for them. Let's all just strive to be kind and understanding towards one another!

[@PellosMaxhthc]

​@@wessel5799 Hello, thanks for your reply. I am definitely not generalizing at all since, as I mentioned in my initial comment, I see it as "extremely dangerous". So, while I completely acknowledge the fact that it can have positive outcomes in many cases, I cannot just ignore the negative outcomes either. So my concern isn't the surgery itself per se, even though I do consider it quite horrid which is why I characterized it as "mutilation". My concern is: what about the people who are simply confused, and then go and do something that they will later regret? There should be someone who is held accountable for that, in this specific example. So for me the solution to this is something along the lines of: Set the age eligibility for such surgeries around the early to mid-twenties, when we at least have an almost fully developed brain which is capable of consciously make decisions and be responsible for those decisions. There should have been a long parameter-setting discourse that needed to be done on the public level, as well as the legislative level, before surgeries like these are made available to the general public. And some might say: "Okay, that discussion has actually been done already which is why the surgeries are available". But that is far from reality, because the world is still very much divided about this, even amongst the LGBTQ + community. I have a lot of gay friends and 2 friends that are trans, who think that these surgeries are dangerous as well. In fact one of the aforementioned trans friends is someone who transitioned, regretted it, and then transitioned back. But again of course this is an anecdotal experience and should not be generalized, as you said as well. But, we cannot ignore the existence of these people and we cannot ignore the dangers and potential irreversible harm that such a surgery can do to a person. So my conclusion is, I very much agree with your sentiment of listening and understanding, not only is that the only way forward for humanity, but it is also part of my job. But it would be completely disingenuous of me to ignore the risks and potential harm I mentioned above. It would also be completely disingenuous of me to ignore the potential good it can do for some people, therefore, it is a conversation that still needs to continue, and rash decisions should not be put into legislation and healthcare institutions. My bottom line gets crossed is when they make the surgeries available to teens, who are by and large not even able to cook a full meal for themselves, keep their room in order or decide what they want to do with their life. Hence the danger. Hope you have a nice day!

[@wessel5799]

@@PellosMaxhthc Hello Leslie, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate your concern for the potential risks and negative outcomes of gender-affirming surgeries. It is important to have a thoughtful and nuanced discussion about the benefits and risks of these surgeries before making them available to the public. However, I must respectfully challenge some aspects of your position. First, referring to gender-affirming surgeries as "mutilation" is not an accurate or respectful way to describe a medical procedure that can significantly improve the quality of life for trans individuals. Additionally, while it is true that there should be age restrictions and a thoughtful approach to offering gender-affirming surgeries, it is important to recognize that teens who are experiencing gender dysphoria are often in significant distress and may benefit from these surgeries as a part of their gender-affirming treatment plan. It is also worth noting that many medical professionals and organizations, such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, recommend that hormone therapy and surgery be made available to patients who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Finally, it is important to remember that each person's experience with gender and gender dysphoria is unique, and we must avoid making broad generalizations based on anecdotal experiences. While it is certainly possible for someone to experience regret or dissatisfaction after a gender-affirming surgery, studies have shown that the vast majority of trans individuals report significant improvements in their mental health and overall well-being after these procedures.

Peterson is an interesting person. He is clearly taking a lot of things into consideration when he answers a question. He is VERY much in favor of individual rights, but the issue of medical intervention is a complex one. Imagine if doctors started amputating limbs for people with body integrity disorder without much care for ethics or diagnosis? Kype needs to understand something very important. Jordan Peterson is not someone who throws away an important issue while pondering about related things. He can't just endorse a celebrity promoting this kind of surgery because the impact on kids is too large. There is no right answer, but the issue in this case comes from the ideologies making the transition something to be proud of, instead of a serious medical condition.

Every kid my 14 year old has been friends with since 2nd grade identify as transgender or nonbinary. They're all trying to change their names. There was a child at their school who went from being a boy to a girl for a year & left the school. The following year someone ran into them at the market & he was back to being a boy. This child had seen his father sexually abuse his sister & maybe this was a temporary coping tool. The school had to explain gender identity to the kids because this child was now going to be using the girls bathroom, staying with the girls during health class & bunking with them during a week long camping trip. I was supportive at the time, but now looking back I think we caused them a lot of confusion. There were other parents who were standard Democratic liberals and they were not really comfortable with a lot of the choices the school made, but they all said they didn't want to be accused of being transphobic. Last week I pulled up a study about the social contagion aspect after hearing this clip on Kyle's channel & found out that in 2018 there was a study on this which received a lot of backlash from trans activists & caused the university to not do a press announcement. Apparently, many professors signed a letter pushing back on the university for not backing the researchers & standing for academic freedom. We can't have a serious policy discussion without the facts & we can't get the facts if researchers are intimidated by activists & universities don't grow a backbone. Didn't anyone learn their lesson after so many scientists stayed quiet on the lab leak theory with COVID? I also think the trans community has shifted the goal posts a lot over the past 10 years, leaving many of us confused. I was under the impression that we were being asked to use preferred pronouns out of respect, which I have no problem with, and that adults just wanted to have the right to make their own medical decisions which I also have no issue with. However, now it seems like there's a demand that we actually believe these people are the exact same sex as the gender they identify as. I didn't sign up for that. Moreover, I like being referred to as a "birthing person" about as much as I like being called "Latin X" or being compared to a breakfast taco. Kim Iverson debated that new girl on Rising just the other day & it was a real moment of clarity about why the left will never be a threat to anyone. The most fringe people on the left are loud & anyone who isn't on board with 100% of everything related to LGBTQ+ issues is considered a "right winger." By that logic, 95% of the country is conservative.

I agree with everything you said. I live in southern California and the amount of gen z I see identifying as trans is staggering. I also agree that most of this is academic and corporate cowardice. They are allowing this exceedingly small group of fringe extremists to essentially call the shots because they don't have the backbone to stand by their ethical, religious, and most importantly academic convictions. Sometimes the best thing to do for a person is to scold them and tell them they are wrong, that their behavior is out of place. If you let that bad behavior/belief continue, it becomes seen as more acceptable and spreads.

[@dasc0yne]

Taking Kyle's anecdote of the trans person who felt their transition was beneficial, I completely understand Peterson's reluctance to blindly accept that as a positive outcome. Kyle says, "Who am I to say (they aren't happy)?" As a lay person that is sertainly the case but, as a physician or clinical psychologist, we can't speak for long term effects - either medical or psychological - with certainty. In that setting a clinical endorsement is arguably irresponsible. To take a different example sometimes patients come to me (a clinician) with chronic pain who demand that, all they need, is as much morphine/demerol/vicodin etc. they can handle. Should I just give it to them because they asked for it or does my clinical knowledge task me with a more informed opinion?

[@CJ-mq3mk]

I don't know if it is that different from what Plastic Surgeons have to decide. I think there could be a very strong argument to be made that plastic surgeons can never predict the long term medical or psychological consequences of their work on each particular patient. It varies from patient to patient. Should we outlaw plastic surgery? It"s not medically necessary. I think if there is 100% evidence that the outcomes are always negative, then perhaps it should be outlawed. However, that certainly is hard to prove when the negative side effects are often mostly psychological and not physical. This is unlike the example you gave of giving too much morphine where potential side effects are more physical (not psychological) and easier to prove as negative.

[@dasc0yne]

@@CJ-mq3mk I disagree. The consequences of gender reassignment are not merely cosmetic, such as with a face-lift. Remember, this also involves manipulation of hormones and removal of hormone-producing organs. In that setting we have to consider long term consequences such as osteoporosis, risk of thrombotic events such as pulmonary embolism, coronary disease, stroke and to various forms of cancer. This is not to mention whether or not the long term psychological benefit truly is positive or if there is underlying depression or psychosis that gets worse or ignored. I'm not saying this should be illegal, but I'm also not sure we know enough to say that it is necessary beneficial in all cases. I think Peterson alluded to a statistic that suicide rates don't improve after gender reassignment and, possibly, even get worse. In light of that I would certainly want to know more about the condition and the procedure before I endorse it in every case. I am in clinical practice and I happen to have some transgender patients in my panel. I can think of two cases where the person regretted their decision to transition for medical and psychological reasons, both. In both cases they stopped taking their hormones and, without the resources, support or courage to detransition, remain disfigured in their own eyes. One expressed to me that the overwhelming "encouragement" he had in the beginning was effectively coercive, although he doesn't want to blame anyone for a decision he ultimately made for himself. He just wished he had been exposed to a counter argument. Interestingly the supportive community wasn't really there for him anymore when he felt he made a bad decision.

I am impressed with Kyle in this video. I stopped watching him years ago, because he just repeated progressive talking points. But he seems to have grown and he was actually engaging in a dialectic here, something that is anathema to progressives. And I agree with him about gender surgery for adults, that's no one's business but theirs. I am surprised Jordan is so hesitant on that point. Although it definitely should not be covered under public health, which I believe is the case in Canada right now. It doesn't help that I watch Jimmy Dore a lot, and he has developed a real hatred for Kyle because of some petty drama I don't care about. edit: Rereading my post it looks like a non-sequitur. I agree that I'm glad Jordan was forceful, but that usually invokes a defensive string of gobbledy-gook from progressive. I was just saying that it only worked because Kyle actually engaged the challenge and made salient counter-points. Something I never would have expected to see.

[@jasonx7501]

​@@toobnoobify "Progressive talking points" right..... no these are sane talking points. Kyle correctly pointed out Peterson's folly and total ignorant and dimwitted attitude on this subject in other videos talking about Peterson's reactions to trans people. Someone with gender dysphoria has as much control on this feeling as someone who is gay or straight has control over which sex they are attracted to. It is a proclivity that is determined at an unconscious physical level. The fact that Peterson fails to grasp this simple concept shows that he's a very irrational person who is just speaking out of the mouth of his religious hang ups.

[@DorianPaige00]

@@atheisticallysound No, a transgender does not want the secondary sex characteristics of their natal gender and they fight it going through puberty often with anorexia as it stunts growth, breast development, etc. We were all born in the body of a baby and had an initial slate without those harsh characteristics. Women get breast reduction or augmentation often in hopes of acquiring a sexual partner. However, the sheer number of transitioners is alarming and a majority will reverse course and end up suing because doctors didn't require mandatory counseling as set forth by Harry Benjamin and WPATH in the 60's. Transgenderism is becoming a social contagion and that's not who transition is for. A patient regardless of age needs to put in their own words what the limitations and risks are as well as perform a real life test for a year before any surgeries can take place. At least 3 months of counseling was required to get cross hormones but doctors have lessened that to a visit and a two page waiver. Ten years ago I obtained two notes for an orchiectomy and the doctor grinned and said he didn't need it. Had I not done due diligence and asked myself core questions, I could've been someone with regret. I'm trying to bring common sense to the argument as someone who has went through gender transition. Most folks either want to hand hormones out like candy or ban transition all together.

Agreed. There is old saying that if you want to know the power, motivation, etc. behind something, then "follow the money." There will be, possibly exponentially, more lawsuits.

Gender "transition" is not real. It is impossible to change one's gender or sex or whatever synonym or euphemism is popular on any given day.

Kyle, though I haven’t always been the biggest fan, did a great job here. Wonderful interviewing skills/ technique. However.. the notion that there is no element of social contagion regarding transgenderism in adolescents is just silly though.. we have the statistics.. any sane person paying attention should concede this. Two things can be true at once. Some people can legitimately have the pronounced sensation of “being the other sex” that is best treated with transition AND there is an enormous spike in the amount of adolescents (particularly females) claiming to be transgender. Undoubtedly there are rampant misdiagnoses here that will be tragic. Guidelines forcing psychologists to affirm immediately and without question will be taught to future genderations as the catastrophic blunder that it is.

[@amandamcgovern5744]

@@danielshepard1449 well there is a 4400% increase in the number of girls seeking treatment at gender clinics in the uk. 4400! The us has seen similar sharp rises though the centralized nature of the uk system makes it easier to compare. And we don’t see anything like this in other demographics of women- as we would expect if this were an organic, real presentation. These teenage girls also tend to very disproportionately be autistic. This population is where we see other social contagions break out such as eating disorders and cutting. And do you really not know what a social contagion is?The rate of transgenderism is increased significantly within friend groups as well. More so than would be expected simply from similar girls seeking each other out. And I don’t think I said anything about this being solved by Peterson so no idea what you’re talking about there. And as far as the immediate affirmation- the guidelines for psychologists/psychiatrists is to affirm whatever gender the child claims to have. Most people who understand the job will tell you that it is certainly not the role of any competent mental health worker to mindlessly affirm the self diagnosis of anyone, much less children. Reports from the mass exodus of employees at the Tavistock clinic (the uks one child gender clinic in the nhs) reported that children are too easily put on a track to transitioning- without the proper work and full understating of other factors that may play into the childrens’ self diagnoses. Just affirmation. We know from multiple studies that if children presenting with gender dysphoria are treated without transition, more than 80% will adjust and be satisfied with their body by adolescence. Most will be gay. If children are started on a transition- whether just socially or with hormone blockers- nearly 100% of them will continue on with transition. The thinking being it’s too difficult to go back when you’ve begun such a monumental process. So a life of constant medication, invasive surgery and questionable mental health outcomes await. It’s a cascading effect of medical intervention. Now granted these initial studies about the number of people ultimately comfortable in their bodies were done in boys. As girls presenting as transgender simply used to be a very rare occurrence. Now they are the OVERWHELMING majority at pediatric gender clinics. As it is there is almost CERTAINLY a large number of misdiagnoses being made. The numbers simply don’t add up. And how DOES one know their gender identity? Like how do you know what you are? May I ask what you identify as?
