WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.080 I think the most fascinating coverage discussion I heard of 2 00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:09.839 the election results from last week had to do with 3 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:14.400 the topic of transgenderism. Anyone who watched TV watched football, 4 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.480 or that's really the only TV I watch anymore. Pretty 5 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.719 much over the last month or two, saw these Republican 6 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:28.039 ads where the Trump camp was highlighting that Kamala Harris 7 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.399 was for they them, but Trump is for us. Basically 8 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.159 that Harris is so totally committed to the transgender cause, 9 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.759 and how ridiculous that is. How she'd expressed support for 10 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.359 giving transitions surgeries to inmates in prisons and all kinds 11 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.600 of crazy transgender policies that she supported that are just 12 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:53.280 not where the country is. So CNN had a panel 13 00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:02.960 discussing this and this pro LGBT activists named Jay Michaelson, 14 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.560 an older white man, is on along with a young 15 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.879 African American man named Shermichael Singleton. Singleton is expressing the 16 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.599 viewpoint that a lot of they were having this debate 17 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.400 about who those ads were aimed for. The LGBT activist 18 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.359 was like, this is just Trump trying to rev up 19 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.400 his bass. This is ridiculous. His race is not racist. 20 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.959 I guess his anti trans bigoted bass and Singleton said, 21 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:32.760 I don't think this was aimed at the base. I 22 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.239 think this is kind of aimed at the broader American 23 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.239 public who are just not there with regards to transgenderism 24 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.799 in all these issues, I don't think they want biological 25 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.719 males playing girls' sports. So this is Abby Phillips show, 26 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.040 and she's sort of moderating it. And I want you 27 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:56.719 to listen to this clip just of how liberals think 28 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.680 they well, how historically they have one a lot of arguments, 29 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.239 how they are trying to win, specifically this argument over transgenderism, 30 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.520 gender biological sex, et cetera. Okay, here we go, roll 31 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.960 the tape. I'm not and I think there. 32 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.240 Are a lot of families out there who is single. 33 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.240 Boys should play girls sports. 34 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.919 I'm not going to listen to I am not going 35 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.919 to girl boy. 36 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:32.599 When you use. 37 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:39.560 Okay, so listen to what happened there. Singleton, who's taking 38 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.000 the more conservative position here, is just saying, no, I 39 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.039 don't think that's true that Trump's playing this ad just 40 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:48.879 for his base. I think it's for the broader public. 41 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.000 I think a lot of the public isn't comfortable with 42 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:59.520 boys playing girls sports. This LGBT activist. By the way, 43 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.719 a white man shouting down this black man yells at 44 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.199 him and says, I will not listen to slurs at 45 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.000 this table. I will not tolerate transphobia at this table. 46 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:18.479 Trans girls are not boys. That is a slur. He 47 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.840 calls it a slur. And the whole rest of this segment, 48 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.080 you've got the so called moderator of this debate then 49 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:32.080 lecturing the guy who referred to what are in fact 50 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.039 biological males as boys. The moderator here, Abby Phillip, then 51 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.319 is like lecturing Shermichael that you need to talk about 52 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.360 this more respectfully, like she's an HR manager. 53 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.439 And this is just what has This is the problem. 54 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.560 This is sort of the advantage of the left has 55 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.000 had for so long, but the problem they're facing now 56 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.360 specifically with this issue. Historically, because the left controlled the media, 57 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.240 they were able to change the terms of the debate 58 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.560 and win the debate as a result, win the debate 59 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.120 without even having the debate. Really because they changed the terms, 60 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:18.759 they delineated what was acceptable language, they delineated the vocabulary 61 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.600 that we were forced to use, stuff like the AP 62 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.199 style guide is important for this. They did this all 63 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.199 the time with the abortion debate, and they're still doing 64 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.959 it with the abortion debate. Abortion is quote reproductive health care. 65 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.120 Abortion is abortion care. That's just what allegedly neutral news 66 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:49.399 outlets are supposed to call it. Allegedly neutral news outlets 67 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.519 are supposed to refer to abortion as this as a 68 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.879 healthcare service, even though that's an intensely debated medical ethical 69 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.399 point whether abortion is in fact the healthcare service. People 70 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:06.079 in favor of legalized abortion are allowed to be referred 71 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:12.439 to in the media with the entirely a euphemism sloganeering 72 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.480 term pro choice. The fact that we just accept pro 73 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.560 choice as a label for people who want abortion to 74 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.920 be legal. When you really stop and think about it, 75 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.000 how insane that is. You'd think maybe pro choice could 76 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.279 refer to I don't know, someone who's in favor of 77 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.000 laissez fair capitalism, free markets, who want people to have 78 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.759 maximal amounts of economic choice, or school choice or this choice. 79 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.399 But the only people we actually call pro choice are 80 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.439 people in favor of the legalization of one choice and 81 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.399 one choice only, namely the choice to kill a baby. 82 00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:05.879 So the media has successfully altered language, and left wing 83 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.240 academia works with them in various ways to alter language. 84 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.360 For example, changing this is a common This is the 85 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.000 thing I've been researching about, changing the definition of what 86 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:24.040 pregnancy is. Pregnancy doesn't start until implantation of a newly 87 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.639 formed embryo. That's sort of the way that a lot 88 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.319 of the left frames it. So interventions that result in 89 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.240 a newly formed embryo not being able to implant, they 90 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.879 would deem that not to be abortifacient. Okay, So there's 91 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.439 all kinds of ways in which the left tries to 92 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:46.120 win an argument by defining the terms of the debate beforehand, 93 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.600 to put conservatives into a heads I win tails, you 94 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:59.160 lose position. So you oppose gay rights. By gay rights, 95 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.800 they mean gay marriage. That's what they mean, is gay marriage. Well, no, 96 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.480 that's a disputed political topic right now. The question is 97 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.839 whether that is a legitimate right that actually exists or 98 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.800 should be recognized. Oh so you're opposing gay Oh so 99 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.439 you oppose abortion rights. Well no. The whole debate, especially 100 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.720 within the context of ro V Wade or the Dobbs decision, 101 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.600 was is there actually any kind of constitutional right to abortion? 102 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.600 The way the media frames it is this person opposes 103 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.000 abortion rights, assuming that such rights are in existence and 104 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.639 one party is just denying those rights. So for so 105 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.199 many issues, in so many ways, the left has made 106 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.360 hay out of their ability. Because they control the media, 107 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:51.519 because they control the AP Style Guide, they've been able 108 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.680 to win the debate, and they think they were. 109 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.240 They have thought that they should. 110 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.519 By now have been able to win a debate on 111 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.279 the transgender issue through those same mechanisms. Here's this guy 112 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.480 yelling down this black man. This this older white guy 113 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.439 yelling down a young black man because he had the 114 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.439 temerity to say that a lot of Americans don't want 115 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:21.560 boys playing girls' sports. Because he says, nope, that is 116 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:27.319 a slur, and the host basically agrees with him and says, 117 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.120 you need to talk about this more respectfully. 118 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.440 Even though the ling the language usage here is part 119 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.559 of what's actually in debate politically. Now, the AP style 120 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.720 guy just blew right past it. The AP style guy 121 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:51.759 just basically agreed. If a transgender person identifies as a heat, 122 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.840 you call that person a heat in the article. If 123 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.279 a transgender person identifies as a she, you call that 124 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.879 person a she in the article. If a transgender person. 125 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:05.320 Idafies as they, you call them they in the article. 126 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.720 The they thing leads. 127 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.799 To I think the most absurd example of this is 128 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:22.759 the actor Ezra I think it's Ezra Miller. So Ezra Miller. 129 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.879 Actor Okay, yeah, Ezra Miller. So Ezra Miller played the 130 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:36.000 flash in some DC Comics movies and declare this biological 131 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:39.799 male says that he insists on going by they, they them. 132 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.879 Those are the pronouns that I insist that you refer 133 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.399 to me by when you're talking about me in the 134 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.440 third person. By the way, that's the other ridiculous thing 135 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:50.840 about the whole pronouns argument. You're talking about third person pronouns, 136 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.159 not first person pronouns I and me or we and us, 137 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:03.279 not second person pronouns you, but third person pronouns, and 138 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.759 within English grammar, really any language grammar, I guess, uh, 139 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.559 the third person first person is I, myself talking the 140 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.480 the doer of I am, the doer of the action. 141 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:22.200 Second person is the person being addressed. The third person 142 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.799 is another person that we're talking about who's not directly 143 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:35.279 within this exchange, this verbal exchange. You know, Uh, the 144 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.200 boy walks his dog, boy is the third person subject 145 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:44.919 of that verb. So the whole pronouns argument is not saying, 146 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:51.000 when you address me talk about me like this, No, 147 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.600 it's when you're talking about me to other people. I 148 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.639 insist that you refer to me this way, which is like, well, 149 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.320 why do you get to control how I talk about 150 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.519 you when you're not even a party to the conversation. 151 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.759 Why should that be anyway? The most ridiculous anyway, the 152 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.559 most ridiculous example of how the AP style Guide governs 153 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.919 this stuff again is with the actor Ezra Miller. So, 154 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.519 Ezra Miller is just a biological male, but for some 155 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.960 stupid reason, he insists on going by they, And Ezra 156 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:30.639 Miller is a lunatic who went on an absolute crime spree. 157 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:38.120 He seemingly, he seems to have kidnapped or run off 158 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.440 with like a fourteen year old girl to have to 159 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.039 basically have a sexual relationship with a fourteen year old 160 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:52.279 girl something like that, He committed several different robberies. He's 161 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.039 this incredibly unstable, anti social person who has committed all 162 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:09.840 kinds of ridiculous crime games and as a result, the 163 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.279 media has to report on this criminal engaging in criminal behavior. 164 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:19.960 But they, this guy is a slimeball, an absolute flippin' slimeball. 165 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:25.120 Like I'm just going through his Wikipedia Disorderly conduct in 166 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:30.000 twenty eleven, choking incident in twenty twenty as video surfaced 167 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.840 of Ezra Miller choking woman and throwing her to the ground, 168 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:39.639 Hawaii incidents in twenty twenty two. From March seventh through 169 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.399 March twenty eight of twenty twenty two, Miller was the 170 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.759 subject of ten calls to the police because of various 171 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.279 minor incidents, such as filming people at a gas station, 172 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:53.240 loitering on a restaurant sidewalk, arguing with people. Couple got 173 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:57.360 a restraining order against him because he allegedly threatened the 174 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.720 two and stole the wife. He threatened this couple, stole 175 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:07.159 the wife passport and the husband's wallet. He had a 176 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:15.639 relationship with a young woman that began when she was twelve. 177 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.399 When it began in twenty sixteen, when Miller was twenty 178 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:26.600 three and she was twelve. Okay, So in short, this 179 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.960 guy is is that a pedophile? I guess? Is that 180 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.919 an a feeble fhile I don't know what the term is. 181 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.279 So this this guy as a monster on like twenty 182 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.159 different counts, and the media insists on calling this person 183 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:51.519 they them and I think with transgenderism. The media has 184 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:56.320 come up against the limit of their ability to define 185 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.159 this stuff, because the problem is they can declare that 186 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:04.480 this is what the AP Style Guide says all they want. 187 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.840 People get their news from a lot of different outlets 188 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:11.480 out nowadays, though that don't recognize the almighty authority of 189 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.519 the AP Style Guide for issues other than grammar. The 190 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:22.759 APS Style Guide here is making a metaphysical, philosophical declaration. 191 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:34.279 The actual point in issue is, are transgender people people 192 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.519 who are of one biological sex but want to identify 193 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.200 and present as a member of the opposite biological sex 194 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:50.000 or as some other third thing? Do we acknowledge it? 195 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.519 Acknowledge it in some cases, acknowledge it in all cases. 196 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.679 All cases, there's no way in which someone's biological sex 197 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.759 is a relevant factor. When we return, this touches on 198 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:10.840 the topic of discrimination, and I'll explain why discrimination is 199 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:17.360 not actually always bad in America, unreasonable discrimination is, and 200 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.279 we'll see how transgenderism fits into that. That's next on 201 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:25.360 the John Jbardy Show. This amazing clip from Abbie Phillips 202 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:30.000 CNN show in which a young African American man says, Hey, 203 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.240 I think democrats, this is not a winning issue of Democrats. 204 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.080 Most Americans don't want boys playing girls' sports, and this 205 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.320 LGBT activist on the panel, an older white man yells 206 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:44.320 at him, shouts him down, says he's saying anti trans slurs, 207 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:50.440 it's bigotry, etc. I don't think this is going to 208 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.200 be a winning message for the left, for the pro 209 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:58.960 transgender left. If you just declare that what most of 210 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.799 the country thinks is a slur, you're probably just gonna 211 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:06.279 drive them farther away that they're just being bigoted, because 212 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.799 the reality is people can intuitively understand that they're not 213 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:17.720 being bigoted. Let me explain our legal and ethical culture 214 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:23.679 in America towards the topic of discrimination. In America, we 215 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.279 discriminate all the time, and you're legally allowed to discriminate. 216 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:33.600 It's just that over time we've come to realize that 217 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.600 there are certain categories on the basis of which it 218 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:48.360 is unreasonable unjust to discriminate. There are certain qualities that 219 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.759 don't if they are not logically related to the end 220 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.600 purpose of what you're doing. It's unfair and unjust to discriminate. 221 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:05.319 If you're interviewing someone to hire them for I don't know, 222 00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.319 let's say we want a board op for the radio station. Okay, 223 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.279 here I am looking at the board. If we want 224 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.640 to board op for the radio station, and a white 225 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:21.000 guy applies and a black guy applies, the fact that 226 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.240 the white guy has white skin and the black guy 227 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:28.920 has black skin has actually no bearing whatsoever on the job. Similarly, 228 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.920 if a black man and a black woman both apply 229 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.359 for the job, the fact that someone is biologically a 230 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.720 woman doesn't necessarily have any bearing on whether or not 231 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:49.359 she's a good boardop. Just doesn't. Now, if I'm interviewing 232 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:54.039 for let's say, let's see, I think this is fine. 233 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:56.599 If I'm interviewing for a position, a leadership position within 234 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.720 the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement Colored People, 235 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.200 and a black man applies, and a white man applies, well, 236 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.839 the fact that they're black is relevant. Discriminating on the 237 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.839 basis of race in that context is reasonable. This is 238 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.599 an association for advancing African American people. It's an African 239 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:22.920 American organization, like Okay. Similarly, a Catholic social justice organization 240 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:27.079 would look at a Catholic applicant versus a Hindu applicant 241 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.759 and say, well, you know nothing against you being Hindu, 242 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.039 but this is a Catholic organization. We were going to 243 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:39.559 hire a Catholic. So over time in America we developed 244 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:44.039 laws to protect people in various kinds of categories in 245 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:52.079 which discrimination against them is illogical, where discrimination doesn't actually 246 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.079 make sense for the job, the task, the activity at hand. 247 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.720 Within the military, there are still differences in how male 248 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.839 and female soldiers are treated, their physical readiness standards, et cetera. 249 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.200 Why because we recognize that biologically men and women are different, 250 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:17.039 and the level of scrutiny that American law places for 251 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:23.000 different treatment between people on the basis of race is 252 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.480 a heightened level of scrutiny relative to disparate treatment to 253 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:30.119 people on the basis of sex, because American law has 254 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.440 recognized sex is a real difference. That is more than 255 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:45.200 literally here skin deep. The transgender the pro transgender crowd 256 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:53.599 is trying to convince you that even in the category 257 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:59.960 of you know, transgender woman identifying biological males playing women's sports, 258 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:05.839 that that is not relevant, that's not a relevant or 259 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:14.960 reasonable category for discriminating. And everyone realizes that's dumb. And 260 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.599 there are a lot of other categories where look, there's 261 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.160 probably some kind of position out there saying yeah, okay, 262 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.279 if someone wants to present as the opposite sex, that's fine, 263 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.359 but there are certain things we're not going to allow 264 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:33.200 that person to do. Right, you can't be having a 265 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:38.880 biological male showering in private, secured spaces with biological women. 266 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.480 You can't have a biological male playing women's sports. You 267 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.559 can't have a biological male in a prison with biological females, 268 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:54.880 because that stuff starts to actually threaten women, and we 269 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.599 lose sense of the fact that there are certain aspects 270 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.440 that being a woman does come with, many, many times 271 00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.200 on the average, less physical strength than men, a position 272 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:12.839 of vulnerability visa v men biological men, and vulnerability that's 273 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.119 born out of men on the whole being bigger, taller, stronger, faster, 274 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:26.519 that this could endanger women's safety. People intuitively grasp that, 275 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.720 and as legally and ethically as far as our American 276 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.319 tradition of when we allow discrimination and don't allow discrimination, 277 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.599 we allow discrimination when it's reasonable. We don't allow discrimination 278 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.839 when it's not reasonable. No shoes, no shirt, no service, 279 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:52.400 reasonable discrimination. Blacks need not apply unreasonable discrimination. So for 280 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.480 the pro trans left to just shut down debate and 281 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.279 say I will not listen to a slur, but you're 282 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.160 gonna tick people off more because people are reasonably understanding 283 00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:09.359 this is not a surface level difference here. 284 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.960 We're not even nor is it when we're talking about 285 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.759 transgender issues. 286 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.400 We're talking about issues where biological sex has been relevant 287 00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:26.799 in every other case, housing people who are who are 288 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:35.240 prisoners or in jail, sports, locker room, shower, bathroom access. 289 00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.640 We've always segregated people on the basis of sex for 290 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:43.720 those things, and you cannot just say that biological sex 291 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:49.400 your physical body is irrelevant in those categories. People will 292 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:54.279 not accept that because it isn't true. People won't accept 293 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:58.759 that because as much as we want to say socially 294 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.400 that we want to treat this person as the opposite sex, 295 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.160 it's a denial of a certain kind of reality. And 296 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.920 where the rubber hits the road, you have to have 297 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.160 discrimination on that category, or else you risk harm to women. 298 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.359 When we return the liberal culture around therapy and the 299 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.640 idea of needing therapy for things that are actually just disappointments. 300 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:29.160 Next on the John Girardi Show, my buddy Manny has 301 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:32.359 a kid who is at present state, and the day 302 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.920 after the election, his kid got an email from the 303 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.200 professor saying, I'm canceling class for those of you who 304 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:44.720 need mental health, a mental health break, or mental health 305 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:46.000 assistance today. 306 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.000 Because this is a lot to process. 307 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.559 I then read a story about the Department of Justice. 308 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:02.839 The Department of Justice, not the Department of Social Workers, 309 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:09.200 not the Department of I don't know DEI professionals, the 310 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.759 Department of Justice. Who let's remember what's under the ambit 311 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:18.400 of the Department of Justice, the whole FBI and a 312 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:24.599 bunch of lawyers, Lawyers who are involved with federal criminal 313 00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:32.920 law enforcement prosecutions, Lawyers involved with you know, protecting defending 314 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:38.680 the federal government in high stress, high profile litigation circumstances 315 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:51.200 like it's. These are like high profile lawyers, very smart, 316 00:24:51.680 --> 00:25:00.960 very accomplished, high stress, hard work professional people, or at 317 00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:04.599 least most of them are should be. I guess until 318 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.279 I read this thing that the DOJ has a bunch 319 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:09.640 of people on for a conversation about change and the 320 00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:14.200 stresses of change that since the election and mental health 321 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:24.599 resources available to This is sort of, I think, just 322 00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:28.279 more manifestations of the way in which the Left is 323 00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:33.039 sort of wholesale and gen Z and millennials especially have 324 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:38.519 wholesale sort of adopted the language of mental health professionals 325 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.480 and the reflexive instinct of turning to mental health professionals. 326 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:47.599 Now. 327 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.640 And I'm not saying like, don't seek out mental health 328 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:54.839 if you're having a mental health help, if you're having 329 00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.119 an extremely difficult time, if you're experiencing symptoms of things 330 00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:01.079 that don't seem healthy, obsessive thoughts, et cetera. Whatever, you know, 331 00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:09.160 if you're actually facing things like that. Sure, but it 332 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:14.759 seems like the more I read about this, like I've 333 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:20.720 interacted with people who seem to just have like permanent 334 00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:25.240 standing relationships with a therapist. There's just sort of forever ongoing, 335 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:33.920 and I don't know how helpful that is at a 336 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:44.160 certain point, Like it seems as though it's society replacing 337 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.640 the normal kinds of help that people would get for 338 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:58.279 difficulties with some sort of secular version of you know, 339 00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:02.960 whether it's the Catholic sacrament of confession or religion or 340 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.440 what have you. Maybe it's a symptom of greater atomization 341 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.920 within our culture that there are more people who are 342 00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:15.319 more alone. There are fewer adults getting married than ever before, 343 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:24.599 more people living in one person households, more instability within relationships, 344 00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:31.680 people in longer term relationships without commitment, and then a 345 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:38.400 growing irreligiosity that causes people to flock more and more 346 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:47.480 and more towards these kinds of methods of dealing. But 347 00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.920 I think it's what you've seen on the left especially, 348 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.799 is you know, I hate to just be sort of 349 00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:57.440 old man yelling at cloud, but I guess I just 350 00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:02.680 sort of feel like there's a toughening up that needs 351 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.200 to sort of happen with a lot of people sort 352 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:15.720 of my age and younger. I've had disappointments in life. 353 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:21.839 I've had several disappointments in my life. I've had jobs 354 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:28.160 that didn't really work out. I've had, you know, times 355 00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:33.359 in my work where I was really stressed out. I've 356 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:39.119 had times where I was really upset about things, but 357 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:43.480 it was usually stuff that was personal to me, stuff 358 00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:49.839 that could maybe impact my career, my livelihood, or deep 359 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:59.440 personal relationships that I have. I don't understand the idea. 360 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:07.640 I don't understand the idea of needing to get mental 361 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:12.880 health help because someone won or lost an election. All Right, 362 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:15.799 was I really disappointed in twenty twenty when Joe Biden 363 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.680 won you bet I was, and I got over it. 364 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:26.519 I don't know. It didn't rock my world, it didn't 365 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:33.119 necessitate me getting therapy. It's not to say I don't 366 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:39.039 think there's like fundamental questions of justice that aren't involved there. 367 00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:44.480 I think there are. I think they're deep, deep in 368 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.319 fact it. You know, on a certain level, maybe I 369 00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:52.799 should have been more upset. I really care about the 370 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.279 issue of abortion. I think the wholesale killing of hundreds 371 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.240 of thousands of unborn children every year, whole business is 372 00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:05.799 set up to do it, is horrifying. It makes me 373 00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.920 fear the judgment that God can visit on this country 374 00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:13.759 as a result. And I just think of the millions 375 00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.880 of women who are having abortions who don't even want 376 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:20.599 to get most. Several turnaway studies on this show that 377 00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:22.880 sixty to seventy percent of women who are having abortions 378 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:28.480 don't want to have an abortion. They feel coerced into 379 00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:36.400 it by financial or other constraints. I think about the 380 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:39.279 human wreckage left behind by it, and maybe I should 381 00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:41.799 have been more upset. I don't know. Maybe I should 382 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.359 have been laid out in my bed for a week, 383 00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.240 unable to get up and move because I was so distraught. 384 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:53.319 But at the end of the day, I get up 385 00:30:54.400 --> 00:31:00.400 and I go to work, and that's that maybe I 386 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:04.319 have advantages that a lot of these liberals don't. And 387 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.160 on account of the lifestyle that I've chosen to live 388 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:09.240 and that a lot of them have chosen to live. Again, 389 00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.359 we do see this that there is a lot more 390 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:17.279 atomization within our culture. They're more and more millennials, especially 391 00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:23.880 not getting married. If they are in a relationship, maybe 392 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:34.440 it's not a committed relationship, they're not having kids, they're 393 00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:38.200 sort of you know, they're turning away from religion. They 394 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.440 don't have the comfort or solace that that can bring 395 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.480 in life, or the self reflection or the silence or 396 00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:51.759 the thought that maybe religious experience can engender, and so 397 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:57.119 they don't have a way of coping with serious problem 398 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:04.200 with bad things that happen in life. So, I mean, 399 00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.440 I guess there's a part of me that wants to say, like, 400 00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.720 holy cow, you you there's a big part of me 401 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.680
