I think right 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.320 now I'm looking at thirty two degrees right now. But 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.520 there's a ron you know, winter's coming. I mean, it 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.400 is December. I don't want people complaining when it's sunny 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.040 outside and it's thirty two degrees. It's you from Chicago. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.600 You know it's not painful. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.959 I forget. I've been here for eighteen years. I forget. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:11.960 It's like when you have a baby and you forget 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.680 how painful, and you have another one and you go, 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:14.920 why didn't I remember this? 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.600 Okay, another subject I can't relate to. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.240 Well, wait, I only had one, so I can't relate 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.240 to it. But so they said, but when it's not 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.720 when it's you know, not sunny, and they get that 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.480 wind that comes off the water, you want to die. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.120 But today it was okay, it was snowy this morning. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.200 We walk up to some snow. My Burmese mountain dog 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:42.520 was absolutely thrilled. We're doing okay. Speaking of weather, you 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.000 guys in California had a earthquake. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.880 You did, okay, seven point zero, but it was in 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.040 northern California. I'm in southern California. We didn't feel any 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.320 of the effects, but it has been affecting my internet. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.480 So we sound a little wompy today until my end, 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.400 I promise you, because they up there messing with et. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.960 Y'all better leave et alone. He made the phone and 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.480 went home. Lead that man alone, Honest to god. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.960 I'll tell you what got me nervous. And I because 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.400 I have my cousins live up in the Valeo area, 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.200 so I got I was a little petrified when I 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:19.279 saw tsunami warning. I haven't heard tsunami since the Bali debacle, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.880 so that kind of scared me. But that's been that's 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:27.560 since been removed, so that's okay. We're moving on. What 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.160 have you been up to? I heard you've been a 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.200 busy girl. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.080 Just working, Bobby, trying to sharpen my tool. Thank you. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.040 That the tour with Tiffany is over. We're supposed to 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.479 restarted February. I'm setting up to my own things. And 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.679 last night I went out to celebrate Kyle's birthday. Kyle Williams, 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.000 who was the role manager for me and Tiffany when 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.800 we were on the first two first couple of LEA 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.839 and he was also the producer of the free voices 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.919 when I did that at the laugh Factory, and he 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.840 had his birthday party last night, and then I went 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.240 to hang out with d ol Hugh, me myfrien the master, 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.000 who was so brilliant and so funny and so great. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.760 It's just to me just on this. And I wasn't 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.400 even on the show. I just went out to hang 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.159 out at the ice House. They already booked me to 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.679 come next week and d L was like, flame, please 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.400 go up. So he said, you're not gonna come out 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.320 and not work. I'm like, I got on jeans and 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.760 cowboy boots. He said, You're going on stage, and I 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.560 went on stage and had a fantastic time, talked about 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.720 all the something. And since I'm talking about all the 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.719 stuff they go on, let's start with the first with 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.520 the first subject that I want to start with. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:32.520 Bobby, Oh, can I put you on pause for one second? 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.120 I loved d L. Hughgley got a lot of thoughts. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.400 I've heard him on a lot of podcasts and stuff lately. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.000 Would be nice if you got really cozy with him, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.720 maybe we could, maybe we could bump some ideas off 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.960 on law and learn. Just saying I agree. 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.200 I believe that he would come home because he really 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.159 does respect my opinion. And he told me exactly he 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.040 had a project that he had something to come up 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.600 that he wanted me to be a part of So 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.960 we shall see, and I will definitely ask. Last night 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:01.800 was the first time I asked him for his phone number. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.680 He said, Funds, you don't have my phone number. I 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.400 said no. He said, why don't you have my phone number? 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.719 I say, because you never gave it to me. He said, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.479 because you never asked. I was kind of not not 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.200 afraid to ask, but I just didn't want to overstep 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.840 my balance, Bobby. But respectfully see, and I think this 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.000 is going to be a great segue into what I 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.120 want to talk about. As a seasoned trans woman, I 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.080 find that I don't have a place, but I know 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.160 when to place myself in a situation to make it 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.760 comfortable for everybody. Because just because I'm comfortable doesn't mean 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.120 that the person outside of me is comfortable with me. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.039 So I have to leave a little wiggle room to say, hey, 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.920 let me fill it out, let me let it balance out, 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.800 let me get conformed, so that we can come to 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.279 a common ground. And I think that that is why 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.000 we are in such up up in arms. They arrested 0:06:54.040 --> 0:07:01.719 some activists today or yesterday for testing and the bathrooms 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.960 in the Congress. They went to a bunch of trans 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:08.120 women made a video and just in protests, and you know, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.160 and I understand that situation. I understand the plight of 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.880 going to the women's bathroom because we have our first 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:19.840 transgender senator. Her name is Sarah McBride, and I'm so 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.760 proud of this woman. It also shows that we can 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:26.880 lead bounds and heels if given the opportunity to just 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.080 be who we are freely and work cohesively. And they 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.880 gave her a whole lot Nancy Mays, of course, of 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:41.200 Marjorie Taylor Green had given her so much grief about 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.960 using the women's bathroom. Her presentation is completely woman and 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.240 not just women, respectful women, dignified woman. She's not a 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.760 half dressed She's classy. She is a politician. She is 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.520 if you look at what a politician should be aligning 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.080 themselves with, she is that the face of that. She 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.400 just happens to be transgender woman. And when they went 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.000 after her, and they were very nasty, putting up signs 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.520 if you don't wasn't boring a woman and whatever, instead 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.360 of her clapping back and being like, oh well, she 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.840 was so classy with her. I'm here to represent Delawareans. 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.320 I'm not here to fight out with which bathroom I use, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.520 And they do have all gender bathrooms at the Congress 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.440 and at the Senate, so let's be may make that 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.600 very clear. They were just looking to cause commotion, because 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.760 the reason we are even having these issues about transgenders 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.400 in the bathroom is because the transgender community, the young, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.040 woke ones, not the seasoned ones like myself. The yump 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.840 made such an issue about like you needed validation to 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.000 use the bathroom again, Bobby, you and I talked offline 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.520 just what you said, FLA, when you go to the bathroom, 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.280 you just go use the toilet, wash your hands, and 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.800 come up out. That is not a meeting place. That 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.840 is not a place to go and have a conversation. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:56.640 I don't even want to be in there to hit 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.640 the sounds that's coming out the bathroom while I'm washing 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.240 my head, and so I would be uncomfortable once I'm 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.920 not doing my business as opposed to just coming up out. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.880 But they have made such a firestorm and made such 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.680 a funk and such a loud think about it that 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.960 now they are using it against the same people who 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.320 talked about it. Now they're telling them you can't use 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.679 the bathroom. But this also stems back to the walk culture. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.560 Telling anybody that you can be trains or that you 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.200 are training. You don't tell people they are trained. They 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.600 tell you they are trained because that's right, because it's 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.960 in you, not on you. So that's the problem. They 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.360 keep telling people that they are trains when they're not 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.000 trans and it just has become a tobaco. I do 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.480 believe that it is going to snowball out of control 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.800 before it gets even better. And again, so many airports, 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.960 restaurant businesses, schools have been so complicit with making all 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:53.360 gender bathrooms, which I totally prefer because it's private. I 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:54.600 don't have to worry about somebody. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:55.439 I don't want to. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.920 I don't want to go with anybody else. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:57.800 I don't want to. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.920 I don't want to have sounds and smeuse girls' bathrooms 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.079 are filthy? 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.000 What about the hold on? Because y'all have the option, 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.280 they've used them and the women and I have made 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.320 a joke about this, the women's bathroom are always nasty 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.480 that the men's bathroom. Say that again, Bobby true. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.880 When I don't get in go in and come up 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.200 with an STD pregnant or some other bacterial infection, I 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.160 feel like it's a win for me. I would rather 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.160 the have the bathrooms. I think that Mason Taylor Green. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.760 The only reason they started this nonsense is they're trying 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.800 to fit in with the new hateful regime that is happening. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.160 I'm not even saying Trump that is coming. They want 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.840 to be validated, They want to be heard because no 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.160 one's paying any attention to them. You know, her and 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.040 her bleach, blonde, bad bodied, I can't even take her. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.839 And Congresswoman McBride, God bless her. I know that these 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.680 ladies are probably I'm assuming that are they all just 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.840 transgender ladies or is it both ways that they're that 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.559 are protesting? Do you know they're probably trying to help, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.000 but they're making it worse. I think I. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.720 Think just this, Zack, what you just see it. They're 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.880 not getting the attention that they need to do the 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.960 jobs that they were voted in for, so they're finding 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.480 something to raise a funk about so that their names 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.640 can be acknowledged on the floor. Now that is all everybody. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.559 So it looks like they're seeking validation from both sides 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:20.080 of this. Because here's the thing, Bobby, when I'm dressed 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:21.880 up or when I look like I'm looking right now. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.040 You guys will see us. Because I'm a great producer, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.720 Aaron makes visuals for us. I go to the women's bathroom, 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.200 I have done it on lave on Ig with you all. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:35.040 Nobody says anything to me, Nobody questions me. Now if 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.000 I go to the men's bathroom, as I'm coming out, 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:38.880 men will look and they have to look up at 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.480 the sign to make sure that they're going into the 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:47.280 right man. Well, you got the girls out like you 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.560 always covered but they're always covered up. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.520 But you can see when you've got a sweatshirt on. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.040 You might not know, but if you were in something 0:11:55.080 --> 0:12:00.320 that was form fitting, I wouldn't feel comfortable with somebody 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.600 that presents as a trans man coming into the women's 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.239 like the women's room, that would make me very uncomfortable. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.920 I want to go ahead, which is why I believe 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.880 I want to thank the government or think who is 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:17.360 ever in charge of making all of these all gender ressrooms. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.000 That was the problem. Now with the all gender restrooms, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.240 women with children will use them now, so you have 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.320 to wait because they used to not be aligned for 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.400 the all gender bathroom, but now so many at the airport. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.800 I just experienced this in Chicago. I had to wait 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.280 for three women who had children to go in there 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.760 and change pampers in them because the problem is in 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.839 the baby's changing bathrooms there's no toilet, so you could 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.600 kill two birds with want someone so I could change 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.200 my baby's pamper and I can also relieve myself at 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.200 the same time. So I think they need to put 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.960 toilets in the baby changing station back for men and 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.719 for women, because they also have them for me, and 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.080 that would be fantastic. That way, it'll it'll, you know, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.480 it'll alleviate. 0:12:54.960 --> 0:13:01.200 It bocause if you have to go in and you 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:06.160 have to help somebody toilet, the even the handicapped stalls 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.600 sometimes sometimes they're roomy enough. Sometimes they're too small flame 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.040 so I can't get in there and and help pivot 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.000 and move and all that stuff. So those all gender 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.920 bathrooms are great. Now I can tell you what I 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.920 don't like about them. I go in with my wipes 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.280 in my pirale. This is my pocket book. I just 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:28.400 pulled that out of my pocketbook because you know. But 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.880 but they're roomy, they're private there. Whatever it is, or 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.640 if I have to, it doesn't happen often that. It 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.280 is funny as you get older, you kind of control 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.360 your bodily functions. If I have to get sick, I 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.640 don't want to be in a stall besides somebody else. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.600 I want to be private. I don't want to, you know, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:47.480 get sick in front of anybody else. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.640 So I love I love I love that too. I 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.680 love the exclusive, exclusive, yea of having something just for me. 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.120 I feel like those bad things are just for for me, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.400 you know, not somebody like me, but for me, because 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.280 I love the prophecy of it. Andybody, I don't know 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.920 about you, but you know the little the little douayleis 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.559 that you take to put over the seat, the little 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.440 paper ones. I use at least three of those bodies. Please. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.120 My ass is so big it would eat them. I'd 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:15.760 be spitting them out for a week. For the love 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.920 of God, I just wipe. I wipe the seat. I 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.000 actually go in and I clean the bathroom. I take 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.960 one of those and I pick up all the trash 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.920 and I put it inside, and then I run my 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.520 whitesaw wipe over the toilet, over the sink, over the handles, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.680 over everything, and then I do my business and then 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.000 I clean my way out so I figure for the 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:32.600 next person. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.720 I believe that if more people saw themselves as special. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.840 Not I'm more special than somebody else, but I am 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.840 just special because of who I am, then you would 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.600 not have all of these controversies. But I think this 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.720 is going to really snowball out of control. They're going 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.520 to make a big deal out of it. And as 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.960 we can see from the transgender perspective on the outside, 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.840 looking in everything that we have seen, even when it 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.880 was right, they made some people. They I think they 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.280 some of the wrong voices to speak for the community. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.040 But they weaponize everything. So they use everything that we're 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.960 fighting for some kind of way. They flip it over 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.960 and twist it and use it against us. It is barbaric. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.320 It is scary, and I don't know about it. I 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.640 just don't have issues with the rest room well I 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:21.160 thank God. 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.800 Well obviously I don't either, you know, like I'm not 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.000 in that area. But it does bring light to something 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.560 that Scotus is listening to right now. The Supreme Court 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:34.160 is looking at gender affirming care for minors, and it's 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:39.120 looking like they've only heard arguments. I think the judgment 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:45.080 won't come out until sometime later in December when they 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.320 make a decision, and they seem to be leaning it's 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.520 for a case that's in Tennessee that was brought forward, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.800 and they seem to be leaning for Tennessee the way 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.840 that the law is written right now. But it's I 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.920 think people are really thinking this is really like it's 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.080 transphobic or transgender like Scotus is being and I really 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.520 don't think it is. I think the keyword in this 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:11.200 is transgender affirming care for minors. They're saying, if you're 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.040 eighteen and under, do they think they don't think it's 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.080 okay to necessarily go ahead and do thiscare or any 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.960 care without your parents being being aware or et cetera, 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.160 et cetera. So I think I don't know how whoever 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.400 is fighting it. I know it's a trans lawyer, a 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.000 first openly trans lawyer that is fighting it. I don't 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.360 know if it's the way they wrote it up. But 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.960 I don't think they're necessarily going to move the needle 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.200 on this one. I think they If they don't, I 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.960 think they're going to have to take it back, look 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.560 at the way that the that the case was written, 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.600 and maybe reroute and go forward. But I do feel 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:52.360 a certain way. I'm very I'm very reluctant to say 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.840 it's okay for them to do permanent stuff and do 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.200 puberty blocking under the age of eighteen, where it can 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.400 really affect so many things. Look at, for the love 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.840 of God, we don't even Oh God, I'll probably get 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.680 in trouble for this, but we don't even fix our 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:10.000 poppies until they're one year of age because that's their maturity, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.800 because you want all the hormones and everything to go 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.639 through their body. So now you have a human and 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.760 they say that our brains aren't even like fully formed 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.639 until we're twenty five, and you want to stop some 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.320 of those hormones that are helping some of that that 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.960 helping the body to mature. I don't know. I don't 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.520 I'm not a scientist, so I don't know enough about it, 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:31.240 but I am a mom. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.119 I love your analogy on that, Bobby. That was perfect 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.399 that you're not gonna get in trouble for it. I 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.720 thought that was a very so easy the explanation of that, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:44.240 because people who have dogs, even transgender people, do care 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.600 about the health of their dogs. But you force a 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.040 health on your kid. I'm a transgender person. I did 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.720 not start taking hormones, Bobby until I was twenty years old. Yes, 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.440 some will call me a late bloomer, but I am 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.000 so appreciative of that. I did not start until that late, 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.080 because Lord knows, I might not have been able to 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.359 have my three beautiful children. I don't know what's that 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.359 would have entailed on my body before it was time 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.399 for me to make crucial decisions that would last me 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.720 a lifetime. Because even though you can stop taking the 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.240 hell hormones and you can shrink your breast, they don't 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.119 never go all the way back down or whatever. You 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.119 don't know what it does for your sperm count. You 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.399 don't know what it does for so many different things. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:31.920 And hormones is a drug, estrogen test sacerone, those are drugs. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.840 You are putting porn particles in your body, and it 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.440 should be under a doctor's care. And I do agree 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.520 with you until you are eighteen and older. And I've 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.520 said this on the Breakfast Club many times. I do 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.600 not believe that children under that age should get hormone 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.679 blockers or test sacerone because you change your mind throughout life, 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.280 and you could fight me and be argument with me. 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.639 But if you don't let life life. You'll never know 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.840 what you truly will and could possibly be because you're 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.520 so busy trying to alter what you want today and 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.320 don't necessarily know what you want a year from now. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.919 That is just what it is. And I know it 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.159 sounds like a year is a long time and the 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.040 times that were liveing in a year is like ten days. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.679 Damn it, a year comes quick. Here we are a 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.280 year later, and it doesn't feel like it. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.359 Yeah, it's a blink of an eye. And it just hormones, 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.239 you know. Hormones are so important to us. Look at 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.040 women that go through menopause, right and how their cancer 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.960 rates often go up, you know, for breast cancer, for 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:34.159 uterine cancer because they don't have that estrogen and progesterin 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.840 like they don't have they're not being projected protected. So 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.479 I just, I just I don't know. It makes me nervous. 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.119 I hate to see a kid make a decision and 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.840 then you know, regret it later. So we'll see what 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:49.960 We'll see what they say. 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.080 And that goes to the whole thing of oh, I 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.119 saw somebody else do it, so I'm good doing it 0:19:55.160 --> 0:20:00.880 because I saw somebody else doing that. Pull that back 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.400 because as you know, with me, that's a catch twenty two. 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:08.080 Because I had feelings at nine years old of how 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.439 I felt. But until I saw the character that I've 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.200 talked about here, Belly LaSelle all in the family, then 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.800 it approved to me that oh my god, I'm okay, 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.880 it's somebody else like me. But that was me already 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.720 having these feelings. Not I saw it. It was popular, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.719 so I wanted to do it, and I think that 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.760 is what is happening with the internet. I think a 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.520 lot of these kids are a little confused that because 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.800 a guy is a little feminine or key a girl 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.800 is a little masculine, you think that this is automatically 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.080 what you have to do. Absolutely not. You could just 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.560 be a little feminine boy or a little masculine girl. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.520
