Society is fine as it is. lets stick to the old methods. no change." This is the textbook definition. U attribute the words of a very few extreme left to the entire left. I agree with some things Ben says. This is how it is in the entire world. In the US however, politicians, celebrities and rights come up with their own definition of lefts and just think everyones like that. Thats not true. Quoting you "If she was a leftist I think she would have a meltdown": very few are like this. Its just this false characterization made by rights for their own personal gain, for example trump, to gain more supporters. The image that lefts are over sensitive or nonsense like that is hogwash. True lefts are not like how u think they are especially in a divided country like the US. There are very few extreme lefts, uk like the ones who say "we dont need men!! we can use our bone marrow to make ugly babies" or "ur a physical male but since u think ur a female, u can compete against other females".

Ben's responses were educational and made without rancor. So many on the Left use terms meant as pejoratives by simply adding the suffix "phobic" to them. Literally, the term phobic means "fear of", not "hatred of". Expressing an opinion of what is normal or abnormal does not make one a hateful person. One can "hate" cancer, without hating the victims of cancer.

If you want to know how many genders are. Actually, there are only two genders (male or female). How to decide whether you are female or male. Just by looking at which part of genital do you pee. If you pee through penis, you are male. If you pee through vagina, you are female. If you have two genitals, then back to the basic. see through what genital do you pee. Even if you change yourself, by changing your penis to vagina, you are still called male. Or you are bored with your body, and you add a penis on your body, you are still called female. And nothing can change that.

@@dineshjanapati6511 I said saying she is intelligent is going too far because there was no signs of her being intelligent in this video, I didn’t say she’s not intelligent. There is not enough evidence in this video for me to describe her as intelligent, what was a sign of not being intelligent is her not even understanding what “phobia” actually means. I also am led to believe based on how she talked about Ben’s take on trans people that she believes that a man can be a woman and that a woman can be a man, so I would say another sign that she may not be intelligent is that she doesn’t understand basic biology. If all it takes to be intelligent is that you can speak normally then that is one reason why the world is how it is now. What I would like now from you is to know why you assume I think I’m intelligent just based on my short comment?

Nothing intelligent or civil about being an uneducated moron trying to play a gotcha game with someone who’s view points she didn’t even comprehend. She put the responsibility on him to answer with complete accuracy and civility by trying to pin him into a corner with her personal definitions. Trying to box someone in to wrote responses based on incorrect assumptions and definitions is not civil and is no more having a true dialog than yelling at someone. She tried to use vague words (which aren’t vague btw transphobic literally means afraid of trans people) to twist his ideas. Given the time he should have had her scrap the word transphobic and had her describe exactly what she meant. She would have been unable to do so because if she were to have to put her thoughts into coherent language it would be clear she did not have ground to stand on. She didn’t even understand the language she was using and is therefore incapable of true dialogue.
