WEBVTT - The Trans Genocide Part 1: Eradication

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Hello, welcome to it could happen here. We've got a

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 1>bit of a bit of a downer of an episode here,

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 1>but this is going to be part one of a

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 1>two part series talking about the the increasing war on

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>trans people that we've seen both on the rhetorical side

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and on the actual legislative side. Um with me today

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.319
<v Speaker 1>is mia Anna Margaret. How how are you doing on

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>this fine day? It's it's been. It's been really fun

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.639
<v Speaker 1>frantically updating my part of the script because they're keep

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>being fucking new bills that are like going through committee.

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's great having having a good time. I'm doing great.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not aware of anything that's wrong. I assume you

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>all are here to tell me that everything's fine forever well,

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>hopefully next episode we'll talk more about how we can like, uh,

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't deal with this sort of thing. I most

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I it was my job to handle the bad part

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of the of this two part series, and it was

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the other people's job to handle the good part. So

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they have and planned for the

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>next episode. Actually all I all I did was watch

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>hours and hours of people advocating for genocide and put

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>together some of the worst bits that I feel like

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>are still worth mentioning. It's probably worth noting that the

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>two of us who are supposed to be writing about

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>what we do about it both have swords over our shoulders.

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>I can go grab a sword if that is If

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that is a core part of the advice, I think,

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>so okay. So I think whenever I put together episodes

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>like these, I always try to be careful not to

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't just want to include people who are talking

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>about why myself and others should die, like just like

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to include that unnecessarily because that's just

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of a bummer. But I think it is also

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>important to actually hear and understand the types of rhetoric

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that they are trying to spread and they're trying to normalize,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and be aware of what techniques and what rhetorical styles

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>they are trying to employ. So i've I've condensed this

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.399
<v Speaker 1>down as much as I can. You will still hear

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>a decent amount of pretty gross stuff. I think I

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>should have almost all of the machendering completely edited out.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I should have a whole bunch of things not not included.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>But there will be a decent amount of rhetoric that

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>that you will hear from just as as a heads up.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what's going to be kind of part of this episode.

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>A lot of this is going to be talking about

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>hosts that are employed by the conservative news site ran

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 1>by Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire. They have really, really

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>focused in an excruciating extent on anti trans like campaigning

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and activism for really the past year. It got this

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>type of stuff got really bad last February, and it

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>once again got really bad is February. It's no coincidence

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>that this is also the start of the legislative cycle.

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>This is why they're doing this right now. It is.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>It is part of an attempt to actually affect the

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>laws that the United States have around if trans people

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to exist. It is. It is purposeful, So

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>we may as well just get started here. We're going

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>to start a little bit ld actually, so most of

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 1>this will be documenting the types of rhetoric they were

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>using in February to March, so the past like month

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and a half. In early February, Candice Owens on her

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Daily Wire show refer to transpeople as demonic while advocating

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>for the total ban of transgender healthcare for all ages.

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>The trans Lives Matter protesters decided to occupy the Oklahoma

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Capitol building to fight GOP bills that ban gender conforming

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>surgery for people that are under the age of twenty one.

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>So that course that should be banned. If you are

0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>in the age twenty one, you should not be honestly,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>never be allowed by I would go a little further, Oklahoma,

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>if you really want to do something, just ban it

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>all together. Yeah. I love that, because they're always trying

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to be like, no, no, no, we're just here to

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>protect the children, whereas we've known this entire time that

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to stop anyone from being trans. Yes, this

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>is a pattern that will come up a lot in

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the research I've put together for this is how last

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>year it was their fay much trying to make it like, no,

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just about the kids. And then we were talking

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>about how first they're going to try to limit it

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to eighteen years old, and they're gonna limit it to

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty one years old, and they're gonna limit it to

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years old. Then they're just going to ban

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 1>it all together. And that is very clearly what they're doing.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>And they're now just saying the quiet part out loud.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>So good on us for calling that a year in advance,

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>but now they're emboldened just to say it outright. So

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of someone's refers to trans people as demonic leader

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>on in that clip. I'm not not including that bit

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>because just today Michael Knowles on his Daily Wire show

0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>said that this so called transgenderism is is demonic, the

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>second second Daily Wire person to drum up this satanic

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>panic shit. This is demonic stuff, really demonic stuff. And

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I made this point I got in trouble with our

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>publicists over at Media Matters because I said that the

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>attacks on man's sexual nature and sexual difference in complimentarity

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>are demonic, and they are. They go back throughout all

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.280
<v Speaker 1>of history, throughout some of the earliest depictions of demons.

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Even one of the most prominent depictions of demons comes

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>from an artist, Lafas Levy, who is an occultist, who

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>did a depiction of Baphomet. If you just think what's

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a demon looked like, you're probably thinking of this picture. Okay, okay,

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>all right, that's not true. It's completely wrong. This is

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>this is really funny to be because for years now

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been trying to say that being trends is not demonic.

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>It's very clearly alchemical. Please please get your occult terms right.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Thousands of years of alchemical development has delivered onto me

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>estradial valorate. It's it's very clearly alchemy. Um. But also

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just extremely funny to me that Knowles tried to

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>cite Levy, Who's like, Baphamet isn't really a demon in

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Levy's work, but like whatever, it's it's all it's extremely funny.

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>He goes on to talk about solidate and and Kigila,

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>which I've actually been planning to do an episode on

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>for a while. But it's it's all extremely funny too.

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it worth describing that Baphomet is the statue of

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the like hornheaded person with like Yes, often falsely falsely

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>identified as the Satan or a demon, But yes, it's

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>a very famous, very famous statue. Like if you think

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>of like the statue of Satan, this is what Baphamet

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>actually is. Yeah, it's it's not Satan, but I mean

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the use of this like demonic rhetoric is a very

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>is it's very basic, like a dehumanizing stuff, trying to

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>de human eyes trans people, um, while also pulling from

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>like the remnants of the satanic panic that still exists

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>in some conservatives minds um. Moving on to a friend

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>of the pod, Matt Walsh Um. One of one of

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>his recent main targets is actress Dylan mulvaney. On February fourteenth,

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Matt went on a mindless rant while continuously miss gendering

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Mulvaney and attacking her appearance, at one point referring to

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>her as like doing a woman face minstrel show routine.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Which a reaccording thing about this is that all in

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>all of their rhetoric against transpeople, they also managed to

0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>be incredibly racist yep, and like understanding what racism actually is,

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>which I mean is not surprising considering there they work

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>for the Daily Wire. I'm not going to actually include

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the clip of Matt Walsh there because it's it's just

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just miss gendering and like making fun of how

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>someone looks for like a minute, and it's all very gross.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Who is that actress? I just I live under a

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>rock Dylan Mulvaney. I think she does like Broadway stuff.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>She's like a New York person. I've not I've only

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I've ady really heard of her. Based on Matt Walsh's

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>continuing rants against this person, we can't have cross stressors

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>in the theater. Imagine we have to. I actually don't know.

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I literally don't know how far back you'd have to

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>get to get to where people didn't play with gender

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.559
<v Speaker 1>on stage. I think it's impossible. I think the further

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>back you go to worsing guests, because like you get

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>things where like only men could be on stage, and

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>it's like, well, okay, this is every Shakespeare before Wance,

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera. In one of the more bizarre

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Daily Wire appearances in this um so on, on February fifteenth,

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a young dad who called into the Daily Wire sports

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.719
<v Speaker 1>show Crane on Company talked about how dad's like him

0:08:55.760 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>are gonna cause dangerous problems if trans inclusive continues. The

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>hosts of the show agreed and said that violence will

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>be an inevitable response to trans women playing sports which

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>want to be brought up. But somebody said something about

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>dad being in the stand, finding out that for the

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>first time that somebody in the locker room was a male,

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and that they were just hanging it all out in

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>front of their girls how I rate they would get.

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>My view is that, yeah, we're gonna have not just

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>one irate dad, We're gonna have a lot of I

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>rate dads. That's going to cause the massive problem in

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the school system, and it's going to be very dangerous

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>for everybody because people are going to start taking in

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>their own hands because they're seeing that other people are

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly jungle rules, as we call it, jungle rules. Exactly

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>at what point do we say, we've tried to talk

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this out and hash this out with you, you're not

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>being reasonable. Those are part of my values. So it's

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>not even us saying go in there and handle business.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It's saying, I know what's going to happen the minute

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that girl runs out of that locker room or a

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of girls. Imagine if a twelve year old girl

0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>ran out of the locker room and said that to her,

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Just imagine that how great or whatever. Men shouldn't be

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>in women's locker room. But if a man that was

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>straight walked into a women's locker room with a trench

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>coat and just showed everything and started shaking like this

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and got beat asleep, everybody would be doing this. They'd

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be clapping. Great job. But you let the same thing

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 1>happen to somebody who says they think they're a woman

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 1>in there and does the exact same thing, then it's no,

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a totally different situation. So while we're not advocating

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>for it, I'm telling you what's going to happen because

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I live in the real world. I know what you

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>would do for your daughter. Yep, that man does not

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>live in the real world. No, And it's it's all, like,

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it's this weird like trying to have some form of

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>like of like denial in their very clear advocating for

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>violence and like advocating for the normalization of just assaulting people.

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I even feel like though this is like,

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>this is like last year's anti trans rhetoric, you know,

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the like lowest hanging fruit was to come at us

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>about sports, this issue that affects the tiniest percentage of people. Yeah,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's it's the it's the blending of the

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 1>sports issue with like the locker room stuff. Yeah. Later

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 1>on in the show, another caller admitted that he would

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>assault transwomen, including his own children. M and the Daily

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Wire hosts refused to push back on like any of this,

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>as this man just advocates child abuse. And I just

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 1>wanted to say too, as a as a new father.

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got a new baby boy, uh, and I've got

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.840
<v Speaker 1>a two year old daughter, And not only would I

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 1>want to beat somebody up for doing that to my daughter,

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but I would beat my son up if he ever

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>thought about doing something like that in a women's locker room.

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just again, and and I want to make sure

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:45.839
<v Speaker 1>and again, we live in the real world. We know

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>what's gonna happen, because we're not even advocating violence, Like

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, we're telling you what's gonna happen. These are

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the fathers and the brothers and the uncles and the

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>mamas are it's gonna get to a point where they're

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>just gonna handle business like. And it's just it is.

0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>It is what is We're trying to tell y'all this

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in the threat, it's just a fore warning. It is

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>foreshadowing what's gonna happen. British are coming. Yeah, okay, but

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>but the British is coming. Is a really really funny

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.959
<v Speaker 1>thing for an American to say about this, because he wait,

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.199
<v Speaker 1>is he saying that they're the British they're trying to

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>do like a Paul Revere thing. Oh oh oh oh.

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought they were trying to be like, we're gonna

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>show up and we're gonna handle business us. No, in

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the opposite. I'm sorry, we are. We are warning that

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>if this insanity continues, then people will start violently assaulting

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>anyone who they suspect of being a man in a bathroom,

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>which will also just lead to like people assaulting like

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>like a butch sis woman as well. Like no, I mean,

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 1>it's like this has already been happening, like like one

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of my friends can't get changed at the local gym

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>um even though they're assigned female at birth, because there's

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>no safe place for them to do it because the

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>way that they read, you know, like and I don't

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>know whatever. I mean, that's just one example of the

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>time my head. But it's just happening constantly. Suddenly we

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 1>have gender police everywhere, and everyone is expected to perform

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>masculinity and femininity and like weird sis normative ways that

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows. I'm sorry, I'm just no, no, no no, But

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something important about this too, which is

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>like and anytime someone tries to say, like, anytime someone

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>starts talking about the real world, this is the way

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the world really works. Right, That's not an actual description

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>of reality, it's an it's an aspirational thing, right. And

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the way that you make something real is through violence, yes,

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's what all this stuff is absolutely and and

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>specifically speaking of violence and child abuse. The next day,

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>on February sixteenth, Candice Owens was discussing this, uh, this

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>like trans kids TikTok video about his grandmother's transphobic reaction

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 1>to him coming out. And it's it's also it's it's

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 1>just extremely grows. So these like these media people who

0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>are paid millions of dollars spend their days may making

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>fun of trans kids on TikTok, like like random like

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>random miners on TikTok, We're making videos about their experiences.

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And they then these these like these grifters and these

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>content creators who work on their right just like blast

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>these kids on their on their shows. They get like

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>millions of millions of viewers. I mean, this is the

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>entire lips of TikTok platform. But yours now seeing this

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>across like almost every mainstream conservative influencer. So on top

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>of Candice calling being trans a mental illness placed upon

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>you by society. Candas Owns also said that if she

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>had a trans grandchild, she would beat them with a cane.

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>It is a cry for help, and your grandmother answered

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that cry for help by telling you that you are

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>loved as you are and that you don't need to

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>fall into this trap of insanity. You're the best grandma ever,

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>by the way, because when I'm a grandma, I get

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 1>any foolishness like that. I don't know. I want to

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>be a sweet grandma, they do. I want to be

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a sweet old lady. But I feel like I might

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>be the kind hit somebody with a cane. I don't know,

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like, why you're not calling you, Michael. I

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like that will probably be me, but I will.

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I would have prayed for you, you know, like a

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>thing that I keep thinking about. With this, like with

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>this Cannons clip, With most of these clips, it's like

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>they're just like laughing the whole time they're saying this stuff. Yep,

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Like it's just a joke to them, right, It's like, yeah,

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>they believe it, but it's also it's just like a joke.

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just something they can sort of like casually talk

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>about while like you know, fucking hanging out in their

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 1>show or whatever. And absolutely, because I mean the primary

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>goal for these people is is content creation. And yeah,

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>they're making suffering content for for and as well as

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>like normalizing this type of like violent response. Yeah, and

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and and I think I think the sort of joking

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>thing is is a big part of how normalization works.

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't think, like I think it would be

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:59.520
<v Speaker 1>much harder to have someone just being incredibly serious going

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, I'm gonna like beat my child with a cane,

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>right like if if if you do, When that's sort

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of like joking, like matter of fact thing, it helps,

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It helps normalize it enormously. Yeah. No, absolutely, I'm just

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>really sad thinking about the because acceptance by family, a

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>family that doesn't necessarily understand, but there's willing to accept.

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like the thing that I think bolsters the spirits

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of young trans people or adult trans people more than

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>anything else, you know. And I've been like reading a

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>bunch of history about like trans people from one hundred

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.880
<v Speaker 1>years ago where their family or like all right, well

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't get it, but what's your name now? Yeah,

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And like a hundred years ago, we we could have

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>improved from there. And and this is something that the

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Daily Wire definitely does continue to harp on across multiple hosts,

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>even like the next video that we have here Matt

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Matt Walsh is doing like this is the same thing

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>they're they're talking about if they themselves had trans kids

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>or trans grandkids, that they would continue to be as

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 1>openly vitriolic and even violent against their own children. So

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.120
<v Speaker 1>this next clip came like a week after Matt Walsh's

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 1>first unhinged rant attacking Dylan Muldaney. Walsh claimed that he

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't stop barking vitriolic rhetoric if he had a trans kid,

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that in fact, he would quote rather be dead than

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>discover he had a trans kid. A beautiful and innocent

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.400
<v Speaker 1>kid one day, seemingly out of nowhere, gets sucked into

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the gender call and is devoured by it. All of

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:40.679
<v Speaker 1>their innocence and light and beauty just drained out of them,

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>replaced by this self cannibalizing madness. For a parent to

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>see this happen to a child, it is a fate

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 1>worse than death. I would rather be dead than have

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>that happened to my kids then die. We do argue

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 1>with you. I'm not on the debate team. This is

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a mock trial. I keep thinking, whatever these things happen, like,

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I keep thinking about Matt Chrisman's one good line, which

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>is we should give to Christians what they want and

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:13.160
<v Speaker 1>crucify them, persecute, persecute all day, every day. So unfortunately,

0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.199
<v Speaker 1>there was more to that clip than Walsh just threatening

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to kill himself using the like a groomer and protect

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the children rhetoric that we saw go viral last year.

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Walsh promises that mean words are only the beginning. See,

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing that I most despise about Dylan Wolvani is

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 1>that part of a movement which actively seeks to turn

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 1>my children into Dylan Wolvni. That's why I'm entitled to

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:44.199
<v Speaker 1>my anger and to whatever language I use to convey it.

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I will say whatever I want to say, and I

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>will be justified in saying it, because these people are

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>after my kids and yours and everyone else's. And you're

0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 1>worried that I'm being a little rude when it comes

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 1>to my children, the children that I cherish more than

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.880
<v Speaker 1>my own life. If you think mean words go too far,

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>then you would be very shocked to hear how far

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I would really go to protect them. Trust me, words

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.880
<v Speaker 1>are the least of it. I love this. I would

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 1>do anything to protect my children, unless they're a gay,

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in which case I'm good, like off myself or something

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.679
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, just I mean, I mean, I don't know whatever.

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Already the legally actionable things have already been said. Hey,

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.159
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not my idea, it's only Matt Walsh's. This

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 1>is his idea. You know. I do want to go

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>back for a second to the early parts of this clip.

0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.679
<v Speaker 1>We are he's talking about like, oh, like you have

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 1>these like puerian innocent children and like the light goes

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 1>out of them, Like it's this thing that strikes you

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>about that so much. Is like she's describing the process

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 1>exactly in reverse. Like the thing that he's describing is

0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 1>what is like, this is what happens if you try

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>agition a kid like by force, Like the thing that

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>actually happens when a trans kid transitions is like you

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>can you can literally see this in like like you

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 1>could you can like literally see this in pictures of kids.

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.920
<v Speaker 1>It's like like you can wash the light come back

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to their eyes. As a transition totally. No, yah, yeah,

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's you know, it's it's it's one of sort

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of like it's one of the most beautiful things about

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 1>being trans It's like is experiencing that joy and experiencing

0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 1>like what it is to be yourself and then you

0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:32.000
<v Speaker 1>get to watch this fucking dipshit like just literally just

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>like taking the process as it actually happens, and then

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 1>like lying and saying it's like literally like lying and

0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that the thing that is making these people have

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 1>this joy is the like the thing that's fucking killing them. No. Absolutely,

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that that's something that's often overlooked when covering this sort

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 1>of thing, is the like just the presence of trans

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 1>joy and the trans joy that can be experienced when

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>people are given access to the treatments that have been

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 1>like known to be successful for decades now. It's also

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if you're intentionally going in

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 1>an escalating sense. This is the first person that I'm

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>looking at being like, oh, this man wants to kill me,

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you know I am I am going in an escalating Yeah, yeah,

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.159
<v Speaker 1>we escalate pretty far over the next bit. First, I

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think let's let's have a bit of an ad break.

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you know who doesn't want to kill you? Fifty

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 1>percent of the advertisers, at least at least fifty percent

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of the advertisers don't want you dead because instead they

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>want your money. All right, we are back as as

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 1>previously stated, Like when when reporting on this topic before,

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 1>we've always said that the limited focus on transgender miners

0:21:54.840 --> 0:22:00.479
<v Speaker 1>was simply a form of rhetorical deception. Oh, somebody, please

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.880
<v Speaker 1>think of the children. By conjuring concerns that have been

0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.120
<v Speaker 1>like culturally ingrained in US around the protection of children,

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:12.439
<v Speaker 1>anti transactivists have been introducing and a normalizing anti trans

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>talking points that inevitably get used against trans people of

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>all ages. Last year, Matt Walsh openly said that quote,

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>it should be illegal for doctors to medically transition anyone

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>of any age. Unte And as Margaret said, it seems

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>like we were moving in a more escalating direction. But

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:35.679
<v Speaker 1>that just so happened to corresponds as the month of

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>February continued. So here's a clip from Daily Wire host

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Michael Knowles from the late February twenty twenty three. In

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 1>order for women to have the right to have their

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 1>own bathrooms, you have to ban transgenderism entirely. You can't

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 1>just ban it for the kids. It's got to be

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>entirely in order for women to be able to have

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.479
<v Speaker 1>their own locker rooms at the gym, you have to

0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:01.920
<v Speaker 1>ban transgenderism entirely. In order to protect businesses from having

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:07.919
<v Speaker 1>to participate in weird occult sexual rituals like the transgender transition,

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to ban transgenderism entirely. So that is just

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like straight up advocating for genocide, right, Like, yeah, there

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 1>there is no difference between this this term that the

0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Daily Wire people use transgenderism and and currently existing transgender people.

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 1>That that isn't you It's like saying we have to

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>eradicate judaism, Like what is what is it? What do

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you mean by that? You obviously mean exterminating human beings

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:39.439
<v Speaker 1>and making it impossible for them to continue on? Like

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that is that? That is what genocide is? Yeah, and

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:43.919
<v Speaker 1>you can hear me like literally the next thing he

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>says is like you know, he's talking about like like

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:48.800
<v Speaker 1>transition angas in the cult ritual or whatever the fuck

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>it is, Like well, yeah, no, Like like he's he's

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:55.400
<v Speaker 1>explicitly saying like what what Yeah, what does banning transgenderism means,

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>does it never like confuse you all when you just

0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>have these moments where you're like, these people believe in

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 1>sky Daddy. Like I'm not even anti religious, I'm not

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.880
<v Speaker 1>even an atheist. I don't know exactly what I am.

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>But like when you hear people just being like God

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 1>has willed me to do this murder or whatever, that

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>this is what this person is saying. I'm just like

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 1>they think of themselves as like holy warriors who have

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:23.119
<v Speaker 1>been chosen by God to eradicate this demonic plague that

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 1>is infecting like humankind. Yeah, it would be like if

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden they were like, and that's why

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Gandolf has told me that I must go on a quest.

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm just like, am I living in the same

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>century as these people? Like, again, not an atheist, but

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like you've decided that sky Daddy has told

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you to march off to murder, Like, yeah, that doesn't

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>even map to a fucking basic understanding even of religious anyway. Sorry, No, absolutely,

0:24:56.640 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And I mean this unfortunately continues to get worse. Yea.

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>The very next day, Michael Knowles defended his elimination as rhetoric.

0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>In another unhinged rant about the probably about two million

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>trans people in the United States, saying that quote, there

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>can't be a genocide of trans people because it's quote,

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 1>not a legitimate category of being. They said that I

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>was calling for the extermination of transgender people. They said

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I was calling for a genocide against I said, I

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.400
<v Speaker 1>must have missed that part of my show. When did

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I did? I say that? I don't one. I don't

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>know how you could have a genocide of transgender people

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 1>because genocide refers to genes, It refers to genetics, it

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>refers to biology. And the whole point of those genderism

0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>is that it has nothing to do with biology. That's

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>what the transgender activists say. They say, forget about biological sex.

0:25:57.040 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>My gender expression doesn't have to have anything to do

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>with my biological sex. Okay, well, then there can't be

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a genocide that refers to genetics. But furthermore, nobody's calling

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to exterminate anybody, because the other problem with that statement

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is that transgender people is not a real ontological category.

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not a legitimate category of being. There are people

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>who think that they're the wrong sex, but they're mistaken,

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.439
<v Speaker 1>they're they're laboring under a delusion, and so we need

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to correct that delusion. Okay, so that was that was

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I'm just clinging to my emotional support sword, Like,

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:41.400
<v Speaker 1>what what solution, pretel, will you be employing to correct

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that so called delusion? Maybe just like one one once,

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 1>like a like one one of the last one, Yeah,

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>fidal one, not a penultimate solution, that's not his his thing.

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:56.720
<v Speaker 1>No one step further, the very the very last one.

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:58.679
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of a of a of a of

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 1>another word for for for very last. But yeah, I

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>also like, have these motherfuckers karatyped themselves? No one has

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>almost no one has been goddamn like the percentage of

0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 1>people who've seen what their genes are like, I don't

0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>know whatever, sense it's nonsense. Yeah, that the science does

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>not hold up to the like thing you learn in

0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 1>fourth grade that the you know, I don't know when

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>they teach you x x and x y or whatever.

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, but like, that's not science, that's not

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>the current scientific understanding. And I think it's never really

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>been the scientific understanding. That part I'm not as certain about.

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Um No, I mean like it's and by saying I'm

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>not calling for genocide because the group I'm targeting aren't

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 1>even a real group of people. They're not even literally

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 1>it's literally the talking point of every single jenicidal fascist

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>ever it existence. So like like literally this is I

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>can I cannot find the person who was writing about this.

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I apologize immensely. But when when when this clip was

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>first circulating, there was a really interesting article of BA

0:27:56.440 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that was circulating about how like not a legitimate category.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Gry is what like the word that gets translated as degenerate,

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 1>like that the Nazis used like actually means like like

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:11.119
<v Speaker 1>that's like non legitimate kind of like that very specifically

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 1>is what the Nazis used as like you know, as

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:17.159
<v Speaker 1>as they're saying, for we need to kill the Jews,

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 1>right like that. That's that's that's very very specifically what

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>they were doing. No, And and like genocide does not

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.399
<v Speaker 1>refer to genetics, it it doesn't. And and you know,

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can you can look at like because

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 1>like these people are like just unfathomably fucking stupid, right

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Like they they they look at genocide, right and they

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 1>see the word gen and they go, this means no.

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, and I think I think something that

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:47.120
<v Speaker 1>is worth mentioning is that So Raphael Lemkin is the

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>guy who coins the term genocide, right, Um, the Lemkin Institute,

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>which is the the like the lempicin SciTE, which is

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the institute from this guy that that does genois, like

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 1>does anti genocide prevention works specifically in the West. Was

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 1>like there was now a risk of genocide against trans people.

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>So you know, the institute of the actual guy who

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>made the term genocide versus a guy who thinks that

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>jen means gene. It's like, it's just no, It's it's

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 1>very obvious that that saying that transgender people are not

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a real ontological category is like he's doing He's literally

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 1>is how you do the Nazis did. That is how

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you do Nazi stuff. Like I'm under the impression of

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing with ontology is accepting that there's like

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>multiple ontologies, Like it's clearly not an ontological concept in

0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>his ontological like his way of viewing the world. That's

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>one of my problems, you know, I just like I

0:29:40.760 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think he would pass a basic philosophy of course

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>in college, you know, Okay, I will say this my my, my,

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>my argument against against, specifically against there being multiple legitimate ontologies.

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Is this is this these people's fucking ontology who like

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>believe that like these people, all these fucking freaks literally

0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 1>believe individually right that there is no scientific explanation for

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 1>lightning and that like every act of lightning is an

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>individual act of God, that is not a legitimate ontology.

0:30:06.960 --> 0:30:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Like fuck that shit. No, I I refuse. I refuse

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to do fucking to have to have there be fucking

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:17.479
<v Speaker 1>multiple valid ontological positions. I refuse for there to be

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>valid worlds like no, there's something are just wrong and

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to be able to say that shit otherwise

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you get this fucking bullshit reality tunnels do do be

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 1>funny like that? He He later added quote transgenderism ultimately

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>is a lie, It's a deception. It is a fraud.

0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Fraud is not protected by the First Amendment. Fraud is

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>not a category protected by the principles of a free speech.

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 1>You have no right to fraud. But you know, here's

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the thing, I will I will agree with him. You

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>have no right to fraud. Fraud is not protected by

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>free speech. I really like have have have a real

0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>fun time when we fucking come for you. On those principles.

0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a little like tights show disappears a few days

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:08.080
<v Speaker 1>of A few days later, Noles once again invoked grooma

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:13.320
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric and openly called drag Queen's pedophiles and explicitly called

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>on quote the heavy hand of the state to shut

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:20.520
<v Speaker 1>down to drag shows and arrest performers and parents. Why

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 1>is he dressed like um, mister Rogers in a Black

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Mirror episode. He's just mirror universe, mister Rogers. He's like

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 1>just telling you to hate your neighbor. You know. I

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you can watch this and not conclude

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that the performers are pedophiles. I don't use that word lightly.

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of people on the right use

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>that word. They fling it around, and they use it

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:49.040
<v Speaker 1>in precisely. I don't see how you can dance around

0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 1>in a thong or in a leather harness in front

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of babies and toddlers if you are not a pedophile.

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm I would be if not the farm, I'd

0:31:57.760 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>bet a lot of my money that that's the case,

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's being normalized. I don't see how these parents

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 1>should be permitted to keep their children they're abusing your children,

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:09.760
<v Speaker 1>are sexually abusing your children by taking them to these events.

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't see how whatever company is hosting this should

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.239
<v Speaker 1>be allowed to keep its doors open. All of this

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>should be shut down by the heavy hand of the state.

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>All of these people other than the children should be arrested,

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and some of them should face pretty severe consequences. Not

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 1>great stuff. He did hedge his bets. He was like,

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm actually not sure about this. That was

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>my favorite part. I think it is. It is interesting

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that the whole heavy hand of the state line is

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting, little little unique gem in their style

0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of rhetoric whenever they explicitly call on the powers of

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the government to do fascism. I think a lot of

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 1>this type of rhetoric was leading up to Seapack in

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>what should happened in early March. During Seapack, anti trans

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric was a very central theme across There are many speakers.

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 1>That's like the big right wing gathering where all the

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>far right people get together and talk to an empty room. Well,

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 1>SEPAK is the Conservative Political Action Conference. It is far

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 1>right by the world's over to the window, but it's

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like a mainstream right wing convention in the United States

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 1>cool So. The conference featured in a rave speakers, including

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 1>prominent Republican politicians and policymakers, as well as people like

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Michael Knowles who are just like right wing pundits. The

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 1>many many speeches had attacks against gender affirming healthcare, trans

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.959
<v Speaker 1>inclusive sports, and bathroom policies, as well as the you know,

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the typical groomer and pedophelia stuff that we saw get

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>super popular last year, as well as framing this word

0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:50.720
<v Speaker 1>transgenderism as a radical ideology. Now, words like transgenderism and

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:54.480
<v Speaker 1>gender ideology are not actually terms that trans people use.

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>These were terms invented by anti transactivists. I want to

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 1>be very certific about this because this is the thing

0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't think people understand. The term gender ideology was

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:07.880
<v Speaker 1>specifically invented by the Catholic Church, like as as as

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a thing to oppose this and also a sort of

0:34:09.760 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a way to oppose like gay marriage and like queerness

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 1>in general. And they're all of the fucking all of

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the like shitty like one one of the one of

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 1>those sort of like quote unquote like dark secrets in

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the fucking closet of all of the black people who

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 1>claim to be like radical feminists who are anti trance is.

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 1>All of these people specifically worked with the back back

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:29.840
<v Speaker 1>when this up was first being developed in like the

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 1>late nineties and early two thousands. All of these people

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>worked with the Catholic Church specifically to make sure that

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I like that that that more sort of liked more

0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:41.440
<v Speaker 1>gender inclusive like terminology and stuff like not on terminology,

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:45.080
<v Speaker 1>like more gender and preclusive programs and definitions of like

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:47.799
<v Speaker 1>of what gender is wouldn't be implemented at the un.

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 1>So this this sort of like rad fem conservative Catholic

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:56.759
<v Speaker 1>alliance is very old, and most of the people who

0:34:56.800 --> 0:34:58.879
<v Speaker 1>are in it will deny that that's what they were doing,

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but it is like, this is the this Catholic Church shit.

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 1>The Pope literally had a rant about how gender ideology

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 1>was colonialism, like like a week ago, and and and

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the Pope does the same demonic rhetoric as these people.

0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, yeah, so I believe this terms him.

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense from him. That's his that's his thing,

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:24.879
<v Speaker 1>that's his literal job. Yeah, which immediately also it's like, sir,

0:35:25.200 --> 0:35:28.879
<v Speaker 1>you are the pope, like shut the fuck up about colonization, man,

0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, like you know from Latin America. That doesn't

0:35:32.120 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 1>excuse you, like the church, the Catholic Church famously never never,

0:35:37.200 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 1>never done colonization. Um. But yeah, these words were invented

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:44.480
<v Speaker 1>by anti transactivists to the humanized transgender people and frame

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>being trans as itself this dangerous ideology or a mental

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>illness in a need of curing um. CEPAC speakers consistently

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:57.799
<v Speaker 1>invoked like grooming and pedophilia stuff in their In their

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>long anti LGBTQ hate rantum, Lauren Bobert claimed that educators

0:36:02.440 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>attempting to groom children, echoing the libs of TikTok stuff

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that got popular in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two,

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Tulsa Gabbard was at Seapack. She basically claimed that LGBTQ

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 1>plus people were trying to gain acceptance for pedophiles by

0:36:15.680 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 1>labeling them as minor attracted persons and allowing them to

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:21.919
<v Speaker 1>teach in schools. This is another conspiracy theory that Libs

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of TikTok has boosted for a long time. By the way,

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to hold a fucking greed share, which is

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that there were a lot of people who like claimed

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to be leftist. Two in like twenty eighteen, twenty, nineteen, two,

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and twenty were like telling all of us that Tulsa

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Gabbard was a leftist. It was like the only antick

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 1>very clearly a fascist. Falk like she she, she like, no,

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:44.880
<v Speaker 1>fuck off, you were wrong. Please admit you were wrong.

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Please be more careful about who you're going to fucking

0:36:47.680 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 1>back so you don't end up backing this fucking like

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:56.840
<v Speaker 1>weird peto jacketing dipshit. But you know who you should back.

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, is it not yet? Not yet? Almost almost

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>not almost almost time? Sorry, I have abbot planned. Matt

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Gates spoke about an instant in Virginia which the right

0:37:09.760 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 1>wing media sphere has spread disinformation about to falsely frame

0:37:12.600 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it as an instance of a trans student abusing inclusive

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:18.840
<v Speaker 1>bathroom policies to attack young girls. Just spreading all kinds

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of misinformation and disinformation from these right wing hate websites,

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.279
<v Speaker 1>that that is why they exist, is to prop by

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:29.720
<v Speaker 1>gate disinformation. Marjor Taylor Green targeted gender affirming healthcare, praising

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:33.239
<v Speaker 1>her current reintroduction of the twenty twenty two Protect Children's

0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Innocence Act in the House, a bill which would make

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it a felony to provide a gender affirming care to miners.

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Green spread the lies and disinformation made popular by Matt

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Walsh that gender affirming healthcare is designed to quote mutilate

0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>your kids and quote chemically castrate them. Stuff that we've

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:52.040
<v Speaker 1>debunked on the show before and many others have debunked.

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump gave a pretty pretty bad transphobic speech to close

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:01.880
<v Speaker 1>out the conference. On the one side, he said that

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:05.840
<v Speaker 1>he would keep men out of women's sports, but then

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:10.240
<v Speaker 1>closed out Seepack by saying, quote, he would revoke every

0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Biden policy promoting the sexual mutilation and chemical castration of

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:17.160
<v Speaker 1>our youth, and I will ask Congress to send me

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a bill prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all fifty states unquote.

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to include Trump's stuff here because I

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 1>find his voice to be slightly annoying. Anyway, moving off,

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump more annoying than Michael Knowles. Shocking so hard,

0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:41.359
<v Speaker 1>challenge level, almost impossible speak. Speaking of Michael Knowles, he

0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 1>gave a speech at Seapack where he advocated that transgenderism

0:38:45.239 --> 0:38:49.440
<v Speaker 1>must be eradicated. To thunderous applause. Now I'm going to

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:52.719
<v Speaker 1>play this whole clip here, Bear with me. There can

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 1>be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. It is

0:38:56.760 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>all or nothing. If transgenderism is if men really can

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 1>become women, then it's true for everybody of all ages.

0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:09.600
<v Speaker 1>If transgenderism is false, as it is, if men really

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 1>can't become women, as they cannot, then it's false for

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:18.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody too. And if it's false, then we should not

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:23.800
<v Speaker 1>indulge in, especially since that indulgence requires taking away the

0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:27.400
<v Speaker 1>rights and customs of so many people. If it is false,

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 1>then for the good of society, and especially for the

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:32.800
<v Speaker 1>good of the poor people who have fallen prey to

0:39:32.880 --> 0:39:39.280
<v Speaker 1>this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely,

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the whole preposterous ideology at every level. Pretty bad stuff.

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Not great to hear a room full of people applied

0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:54.480
<v Speaker 1>someone who's very clearly talking about the eradication of an

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:58.680
<v Speaker 1>entire group of people. And I want to specifically point

0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>out the from public life thing, because that was something

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:03.879
<v Speaker 1>that you know, like back when the first bathroom bills

0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 1>were happening in twenty sixteen, right, you know, like people

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like trans people who were following this stuff. You know,

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the thing everyone said was they're trying to they're trying

0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to erase trans people from public life, right, because that's

0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what happens when you can't use a restroom in public, Right,

0:40:20.480 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like it limits your ability to just exist in

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the public sphere. And we've gotten to a point now

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:29.359
<v Speaker 1>where they can just fucking say what we you know,

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:31.920
<v Speaker 1>what we all knew they wanted from the beginning, And

0:40:32.040 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that's terrifying. I remember when I hit them the kind

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 1>of uncanny valley space, like when I hit the space

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:43.959
<v Speaker 1>where I freaked people out no matter what bathroom I used,

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like a very conscious thing where I

0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:48.799
<v Speaker 1>remember it because I pick which bathroom to use based

0:40:48.800 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 1>on safety, right, and and like depending on my presentation.

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It's it's wildly different depending on what kind of space

0:40:57.040 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm in, it's wildly different. I don't know, I just

0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I just re member really consciously. The first time, I

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:03.799
<v Speaker 1>like just I picked the men's room and then got

0:41:03.800 --> 0:41:05.680
<v Speaker 1>like double takes about why was I in there, And

0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just like, oh, I like can't do anything anymore. Yeah,

0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like no, absolutely. After Noel's speech at SPACK arguing for

0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the eradication of transgenderism, quote unquote, Daily Wire hosts, including

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Matt Walsh, defended him by saying, quote, we are in

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a war against the most deranged ideology ever invented by

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.959
<v Speaker 1>the human race. We are fighting to eradicate the ideological

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 1>equivalent of a parasitic infection. But is a term like

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:38.360
<v Speaker 1>eradicate over the top. Does it have a needlessly militant tone? No,

0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:43.040
<v Speaker 1>definitely not. The tone may be militant, but not needlessly so.

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>We are, after all, in a war and lives are

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 1>at stake. We are in a war against the most

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:54.800
<v Speaker 1>deranged ideology ever invented by the human race. Plane and sample.

0:41:55.520 --> 0:42:00.040
<v Speaker 1>We are fighting to eradicate the ideological equivalent of a

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:04.759
<v Speaker 1>parasitic infestation. And the parasite gender ideology seeks to not

0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:08.400
<v Speaker 1>only brainwash a generation of children, not only degrade and

0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:12.399
<v Speaker 1>appropriate womanhood, but also and manhood by the way, but also,

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and most fundamentally, it seeks to eat away at truth itself.

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:21.840
<v Speaker 1>This is coming from somebody who glibly refers to himself

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:26.239
<v Speaker 1>as a theocratic fascist, And in cases like this, when

0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:29.319
<v Speaker 1>they tell you who they are, you should fucking believe them.

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Like the first bit of that clip is like pretty bad,

0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 1>very very clearly fascistic like it's it's checking all of

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the boxes. But then I'm going to continue on to

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the second part of this clip, and it is incredibly chilling.

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Can we point out about how his poor choice and

0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:49.640
<v Speaker 1>plaid is also degrading into masculinity. Really, he is the

0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:52.760
<v Speaker 1>greatest threat to masculine right now because of his plaid choice.

0:42:53.360 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Eradication of gender ideology. Total defeat is the only option

0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:00.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's no compromise with it, there's no living side

0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 1>by side with it, there's no finding common ground. The

0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 1>gender ideologue wants to destroy your culture and your children.

0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:12.320
<v Speaker 1>You will either rise up against it or lose everything

0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to it. We're so fucked, it's so Nazzi, Like, yeah, quote,

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:20.879
<v Speaker 1>total defeat is the only option. The gender ideologue wants

0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to destroy your culture and your children. Like that is

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:26.640
<v Speaker 1>less than the stones throw away from We must have

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:28.560
<v Speaker 1>secure the existence of our people in the future for

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:31.439
<v Speaker 1>white children. It's right there. It's like, it's so it's

0:43:31.480 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 1>so clear. I think there's like a tiny grain of

0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:37.040
<v Speaker 1>truth in it, which is that like they are very

0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:41.440
<v Speaker 1>very very close to like permanently losing the battle over

0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:44.879
<v Speaker 1>where the trans people could exist, and that's why they're

0:43:44.920 --> 0:43:48.200
<v Speaker 1>doing this right, because like the only like like like

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:50.920
<v Speaker 1>so support for trans people getting healthcare is like sixty

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:54.399
<v Speaker 1>is at like sixty percent, right, the only thing they

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 1>have left is just straight up genocide because if they

0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>don't fucking kill us all now, right, and they don't

0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:03.840
<v Speaker 1>right now act to make it impossible for future trans

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.800
<v Speaker 1>people to be trans, right, they are going to lose.

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:09.840
<v Speaker 1>And I will talk about this towards the end of

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the episode. This is kind of part of my thesis

0:44:11.880 --> 0:44:14.360
<v Speaker 1>on this, and this is something that Michael Knowles himself

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:18.719
<v Speaker 1>actually admits. In one of Michael Knowles's first shows after Sepack,

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:23.360
<v Speaker 1>he suggests that eradicating transgenderism would be a simple matter

0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of returning to the state of Affairs in twenty fifteen

0:44:26.719 --> 0:44:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to eradicate transgenderism from public life. And it's a good question.

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad people are talking about that. That was the

0:44:33.440 --> 0:44:36.800
<v Speaker 1>point of my speech. What would it mean to eradicate

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:41.959
<v Speaker 1>the preposterous ideology of transgenderism from public life at every level?

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Put simply, eradicating transgenderism from public life would mean behaving

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:58.360
<v Speaker 1>as American society did before, say twenty fifteen. Before round

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen, we did not have any acceptance of transgenderism

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:07.760
<v Speaker 1>in public life. Also, in just like a grim moment

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:13.080
<v Speaker 1>of sourality, in the middle of that clip, Knowles does

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:16.720
<v Speaker 1>an adder read for a company called Rabbit Air, which

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:21.080
<v Speaker 1>is an air purifier company who has an office in Pasadena, California.

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:26.759
<v Speaker 1>She's fucking oh ba. Knowles goes on to blame Obama

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:30.799
<v Speaker 1>for leading this wave of trans acceptance in public life. Now,

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:33.360
<v Speaker 1>this whole twenty fifteen thing is very funny to me

0:45:33.400 --> 0:45:35.920
<v Speaker 1>because in a lot of ways, it was actually kind

0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of easier to be trans in twenty fifteen that it

0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:42.360
<v Speaker 1>is right now. But I think that this is mostly

0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that like for conservatives, it's mostly that young trans people

0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:51.720
<v Speaker 1>are simply more visible now, mostly due to things like TikTok.

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Like there's just there's a more visible presence of trans

0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>joy and trans people living, and that is angering conservatives.

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So they think it's just like some new recent thing.

0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:05.000
<v Speaker 1>And because Michael Knowles did an ad break for Rabbit Air,

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:08.680
<v Speaker 1>who again has an office and Pacady, Ina, California, I too,

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:11.400
<v Speaker 1>am going to do an ad break for our fine sponsors.

0:46:21.920 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, and we're back. We are we are almost done.

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I only have like one or two more clips to

0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:28.880
<v Speaker 1>show I like the ad for Rabbit Air that just

0:46:28.960 --> 0:46:36.359
<v Speaker 1>played Chuck Off. So in Michael knowles case, I think

0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 1>he isn't even primarily against just like trans equality, he

0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is against modernity. Now, when I say modernity, I'm not

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.720
<v Speaker 1>referring to like industrial civilization. It's many consequences for humans

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:52.279
<v Speaker 1>and the planet at large. Right wing anti modernism is

0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:56.240
<v Speaker 1>very different than like anarchist ANTISTI of ideas. This idea

0:46:56.280 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of modernism isn't really tied to industrial developments. It's more

0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:05.840
<v Speaker 1>linked to a psycho spiritual antagonism against modern social progress.

0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 1>It's more akin to the esoteric super fascist Julius Vola's

0:47:10.080 --> 0:47:13.439
<v Speaker 1>idea of like revolt against the modern world and how

0:47:13.520 --> 0:47:17.680
<v Speaker 1>liberalism is like a plague against moral society and causing

0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:22.719
<v Speaker 1>maths degeneracy. Michael knowles own Twitter bio reads quote, I

0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:27.040
<v Speaker 1>am completely opposed to the error of the modernists. Again,

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>when these people tell tell you who they are, you

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:34.360
<v Speaker 1>have to believe them. Um. Just this week, during a

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:37.279
<v Speaker 1>speech at the University of Buffalo, Knowles laid out a

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 1>plan to attack quote the illogic of so called gay marriage,

0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:46.799
<v Speaker 1>the rights to fornication, and the feminists who loosened divorce laws. Yeah,

0:47:47.120 --> 0:47:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it's worth pointing out here, right.

0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the actual reason why twenty fifteen

0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:52.520
<v Speaker 1>is the year that he picked out of his head

0:47:52.560 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 1>is at twenty fifteen is the year that game that

0:47:54.840 --> 0:47:58.040
<v Speaker 1>game marriage was legalized by the Supreme Court. Sure like

0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 1>that that like ninety nine percent chats that he means

0:48:02.200 --> 0:48:05.080
<v Speaker 1>like twenty fifteen before gay marriage is the thing that

0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:08.239
<v Speaker 1>he wants to go back to. But here's here's here's

0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a clip of him talking about how conservatives have continued

0:48:11.560 --> 0:48:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to lose the battleground at a whole bunch of topics

0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and how he's going to try to win them back. Now,

0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:22.759
<v Speaker 1>even many conservatives accept so called gay marriage, and they

0:48:22.800 --> 0:48:27.359
<v Speaker 1>have to. They have to accept gay marriage if they

0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.560
<v Speaker 1>accept the illogic of the Sexual Revolution, which held that

0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:33.480
<v Speaker 1>all sexual relations are fine and dandy so long as

0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:38.239
<v Speaker 1>they're consensual. After the Sexual Revolution, the only test for

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:42.759
<v Speaker 1>sexual ethics became if it feels good, do it. For

0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:45.840
<v Speaker 1>most of American history to nobody believes that too. For

0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:48.680
<v Speaker 1>most of American history, there were all sorts of laws

0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:52.920
<v Speaker 1>against certain sexual behaviors. There were famously laws against sodomy,

0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:55.560
<v Speaker 1>but there were lots of other laws as well, laws

0:48:55.560 --> 0:49:00.480
<v Speaker 1>against fornication, laws against adultery, laws against plenty of other

0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:04.200
<v Speaker 1>destructive sexual behaviors. Those laws around the books as recently

0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:06.840
<v Speaker 1>as two thousand and three, when liberals on the Supreme

0:49:06.880 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Court discovered in the Constitution some sort of right to

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:14.759
<v Speaker 1>all of those things. He wants all these things to

0:49:14.760 --> 0:49:18.799
<v Speaker 1>become illegal. Again, that that is his political project. And

0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to quote airy drenand quote none of this is a

0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>theoretical exercise. After banning drag or gender I firm and

0:49:25.440 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 1>care for minors, the Tennessee House yesterday passed a bill

0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:32.840
<v Speaker 1>that would allow local officials to refuse same sex, interfaith,

0:49:33.000 --> 0:49:37.520
<v Speaker 1>or interracial marriages unquote. Now, last year we titled some

0:49:37.560 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of our episodes that cover this wave of anti trans

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:44.320
<v Speaker 1>attacks quote like the War on Transpeople unquote, and even

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:47.200
<v Speaker 1>like considering the origin of this podcast, I am often

0:49:47.239 --> 0:49:51.000
<v Speaker 1>hesitant to entertain fantasies of actual civil conflict in the

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:55.000
<v Speaker 1>United States, But in this case, like they are the

0:49:55.040 --> 0:49:57.200
<v Speaker 1>ones who are killing us and trying to make our

0:49:57.320 --> 0:50:01.480
<v Speaker 1>very existence illegal, it is them who has initiated this

0:50:01.560 --> 0:50:05.359
<v Speaker 1>type of militant language. The last clip I have here

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:09.799
<v Speaker 1>is of Matt Walsh talking about just that we aren't

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 1>even remotely done. Okay, this is honestly only the beginning.

0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:17.880
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot more in store for you. I

0:50:17.960 --> 0:50:19.719
<v Speaker 1>promised you a year ago that we were going to

0:50:19.719 --> 0:50:21.880
<v Speaker 1>war here, and I kept that promise. I'll keep this

0:50:21.920 --> 0:50:25.399
<v Speaker 1>one too. There's much more to be done, that needs

0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to be done, and we aim to do it. So

0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:32.319
<v Speaker 1>the battle continues. Whether you like it or not. The

0:50:32.360 --> 0:50:38.000
<v Speaker 1>battle continues. So a few days ago, the Governor of

0:50:38.040 --> 0:50:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi brought Matt Walsh to speak during an official press

0:50:42.280 --> 0:50:45.680
<v Speaker 1>conference about the signing of House Bill one one two

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:49.759
<v Speaker 1>five banning gender affirming healthcare for minors. The presence of

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Matt Walsh at a State of Mississippi official press conference

0:50:53.120 --> 0:50:56.480
<v Speaker 1>is a clear example of fascism being inserted into the

0:50:56.480 --> 0:51:00.560
<v Speaker 1>governmental process. And speaking of bills, I'm going to hand

0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:02.759
<v Speaker 1>this over to Mia to now talk about some of

0:51:02.800 --> 0:51:06.799
<v Speaker 1>the legislative stuff. Yay, yeah, wow, So this is gonna

0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:10.440
<v Speaker 1>be a long one, I'm sorry, folks. Yeah. Unfortunately, the

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:13.640
<v Speaker 1>list of ways in which they are trying to kill

0:51:13.719 --> 0:51:17.440
<v Speaker 1>us as long. So, yeah, this is this is the

0:51:17.480 --> 0:51:21.879
<v Speaker 1>inevitable result of that. In one of the very early clips, right,

0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, how I can't remember which one it was,

0:51:25.640 --> 0:51:27.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the maybe it was Kennis Owen has talked

0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:30.080
<v Speaker 1>about like our publicist at Media Matters, right, Yeah, And

0:51:30.440 --> 0:51:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, I think there is in a

0:51:33.200 --> 0:51:35.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of cases. I think there's a lot of merit

0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and not like covering this ship when it's specifically people

0:51:39.040 --> 0:51:41.799
<v Speaker 1>like like very specific, Like you know Alex Jones does this, right, Well,

0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:45.440
<v Speaker 1>he'll say something like specifically incredibly inflammatory is a way

0:51:45.480 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to start to get media attention to him. Yeah, But

0:51:48.200 --> 0:51:50.879
<v Speaker 1>in this case, we can't fucking do that because all

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.160
<v Speaker 1>of the policy proposals that these people want are getting

0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:57.520
<v Speaker 1>actually fucking implemented. So here here's from the Human Rights

0:51:57.520 --> 0:52:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Campaign about how bad things have gotten. Less than two

0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:03.880
<v Speaker 1>months into twenty twenty three, Human Rights Campaign is already

0:52:03.880 --> 0:52:07.560
<v Speaker 1>tracking three hundred and forty anti LGBTQ bills that have

0:52:07.600 --> 0:52:10.319
<v Speaker 1>been introduced in state houses across the country. I think

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:14.160
<v Speaker 1>four hundred. Oh yeah, it's this, Yeah, I was gonna

0:52:14.160 --> 0:52:16.160
<v Speaker 1>get this. So those numbers are from early Those numbers

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:19.040
<v Speaker 1>are from early February, right or mid February. Now, yeah,

0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:21.239
<v Speaker 1>it's something like over four hundred. It's really hard to

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:24.879
<v Speaker 1>get actual totals because there are so fucking many of them.

0:52:25.440 --> 0:52:27.960
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and fifty of those would specifically restrict the

0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:30.560
<v Speaker 1>rights of transgender people, the highest number of bills targeting

0:52:30.600 --> 0:52:33.200
<v Speaker 1>transgender people in a single year to date. They also note,

0:52:33.239 --> 0:52:36.200
<v Speaker 1>as everyone else does, every single successive year breaks the

0:52:36.239 --> 0:52:40.000
<v Speaker 1>record for the most number of bills targeting trans people. Yeah,

0:52:40.000 --> 0:52:42.480
<v Speaker 1>those numbers are already out of date, and okay, so

0:52:43.640 --> 0:52:46.520
<v Speaker 1>on the one hands, right there, there are there are

0:52:47.120 --> 0:52:52.120
<v Speaker 1>real problems with projects that just track the raw number

0:52:52.160 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of bills, and you know, okay, on the one hands,

0:52:56.160 --> 0:52:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the world like the raw numbers are I think a

0:52:58.680 --> 0:53:02.759
<v Speaker 1>good way of actually getting people to sort of understand

0:53:03.040 --> 0:53:06.000
<v Speaker 1>like the level of threat that is happening, like just

0:53:06.040 --> 0:53:08.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of just sort of the raw magnitude of the threats.

0:53:09.440 --> 0:53:13.600
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, okay, it's kind of misleading in

0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the sense that almost all these bills are going to

0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:18.640
<v Speaker 1>fail because most of these most most and this is

0:53:18.640 --> 0:53:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the incredible important thing here, most but not all, most

0:53:22.000 --> 0:53:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of these bills are made by just random state lawmakers

0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and no political backing. And this allows organizations, you know,

0:53:28.560 --> 0:53:30.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of like like a lot of the nonprofit groups

0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:33.279
<v Speaker 1>who work in these sort of legislative spaces to like

0:53:33.320 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 1>claim credit for defeating like ninety percent of the bills,

0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:38.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, well, no, like most of those, like

0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:40.200
<v Speaker 1>almost none of them we're ever going to pass in

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:43.319
<v Speaker 1>the first place. And the second thing that it does

0:53:43.480 --> 0:53:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is it puts this sort of cloud out, which makes

0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:48.359
<v Speaker 1>it really really difficult, you know, if you're just being

0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:52.359
<v Speaker 1>if you're if you're trying to follow right, the sort

0:53:52.360 --> 0:53:55.360
<v Speaker 1>of legislative process here, it gets very very hard because

0:53:56.120 --> 0:53:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it's it's very difficult to sort out which bills have

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:00.080
<v Speaker 1>any chance of passing in which ones are just some

0:54:00.200 --> 0:54:05.040
<v Speaker 1>random dipshit like first term like I don't know someone

0:54:05.120 --> 0:54:07.880
<v Speaker 1>some like first term lawmaker from like a part of

0:54:07.920 --> 0:54:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi that is two lawmakers right, like. But so my, my,

0:54:13.880 --> 0:54:16.279
<v Speaker 1>my solution to this is we're going to run through

0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the bills had ever already been passed. Um, I guess

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:21.560
<v Speaker 1>we should just started in Mississippi because we've sort of

0:54:21.600 --> 0:54:24.920
<v Speaker 1>already talked about Yeah, Governor Tate Reeves inviting that wallshy

0:54:24.960 --> 0:54:28.839
<v Speaker 1>have a speech at the bill signing ceremony. So in

0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi a law was passed called the reap Act, which

0:54:34.400 --> 0:54:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's. That's great. It's a that's that tells

0:54:37.719 --> 0:54:41.359
<v Speaker 1>you exactly what they fucking I mean by this. Uh,

0:54:41.880 --> 0:54:43.800
<v Speaker 1>this is a bill that bans and this this is

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a very very common pattern for bills. Um. It bans

0:54:47.160 --> 0:54:50.160
<v Speaker 1>miners from getting hormones, from getting any kind of gender

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:53.439
<v Speaker 1>affirming surgery, and blocks anyone from getting puberty blockers. Um.

0:54:53.760 --> 0:54:56.960
<v Speaker 1>We've said this before, We'll say it again. All of

0:54:56.960 --> 0:54:58.879
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is good. Kids should be able to get

0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:00.880
<v Speaker 1>these things. Kids should be able to g these things easier.

0:55:00.960 --> 0:55:05.359
<v Speaker 1>They they just unfathomably improve the lives of the child

0:55:05.520 --> 0:55:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you get them. All of the data supports this notion.

0:55:09.960 --> 0:55:12.880
<v Speaker 1>This has been normalized for literally decades. Yeah, and I

0:55:12.880 --> 0:55:15.680
<v Speaker 1>mean puberty blockers in particular is one of the things

0:55:15.719 --> 0:55:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that's become the focus of like, oh, it's not safe.

0:55:17.600 --> 0:55:20.759
<v Speaker 1>It's like puberty blockers were the compromise position, right, And

0:55:20.800 --> 0:55:22.160
<v Speaker 1>this is something that I think has been lost in

0:55:22.160 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of debate about this, because you know, we've

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:26.120
<v Speaker 1>gotten to the point where everything is being banned, but

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:29.960
<v Speaker 1>puberty blockers. You know, we're a compromise position because you

0:55:30.000 --> 0:55:33.160
<v Speaker 1>could give people puberty blockers without like actually giving trans

0:55:33.280 --> 0:55:36.840
<v Speaker 1>kids to hormones. That they need, and even that, you know,

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:38.520
<v Speaker 1>we're at a point where stays there's just full on

0:55:38.560 --> 0:55:43.400
<v Speaker 1>banning kids from getting them. This sucks, it's awful. It

0:55:43.640 --> 0:55:49.480
<v Speaker 1>is killing trans kids. Um. Mississippi also has a ban

0:55:50.400 --> 0:55:52.040
<v Speaker 1>one of the other things about this specific one and

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 1>not all the states are doing it do this, but

0:55:54.880 --> 0:55:57.440
<v Speaker 1>this specific bill also bans state money from going to

0:55:57.480 --> 0:56:02.720
<v Speaker 1>any institution that practices like does like gender form for miners.

0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:05.200
<v Speaker 1>They also have an anti sports law, so you can,

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can see the sort of like how

0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:13.360
<v Speaker 1>how the dominoes went down in terms of like, sorry,

0:56:13.600 --> 0:56:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you can see how the dominoes fell down in terms

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:16.600
<v Speaker 1>of where it started and where it was going right

0:56:17.080 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 1>for at first you get your anti bathroom log. Then

0:56:19.040 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you you get your sort of like keep trans people

0:56:22.680 --> 0:56:26.759
<v Speaker 1>out of sports, and then and then you get healthcare laws. Yea, yeah, yeah,

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:31.360
<v Speaker 1>So I Will also has a band that's you know,

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:35.080
<v Speaker 1>but basically identical identical band on hormone gender firming surgery,

0:56:35.120 --> 0:56:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and puberty blockers. They also passed a bill that bands

0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:40.800
<v Speaker 1>trans kids from using bathrooms and locker rooms according to

0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:44.040
<v Speaker 1>their gender and elementary, middle and high schools. And I

0:56:44.120 --> 0:56:46.120
<v Speaker 1>want to talk a little bit about this, because this

0:56:46.320 --> 0:56:49.160
<v Speaker 1>is going to lead to kids getting fucking raped, because

0:56:49.480 --> 0:56:51.640
<v Speaker 1>it turns out if you force a trans girl into

0:56:51.920 --> 0:56:54.839
<v Speaker 1>a men's locker room, things are going to go real

0:56:55.000 --> 0:56:57.200
<v Speaker 1>fucking bad for them. They don't give a shit about this, right,

0:56:57.239 --> 0:57:01.080
<v Speaker 1>They simply do not care. Um, but that's you know

0:57:01.200 --> 0:57:05.319
<v Speaker 1>that that that's that that that's the actual substantive results. Um.

0:57:07.360 --> 0:57:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I will also pass. I've seen it variously refers to

0:57:11.400 --> 0:57:13.160
<v Speaker 1>as like I don't say trans or like I don't

0:57:13.160 --> 0:57:16.720
<v Speaker 1>say LGBTQ plus bill. This is a bill that prohibits

0:57:16.800 --> 0:57:19.840
<v Speaker 1>teachers who teach either from kindergarteners through sixth grade from

0:57:19.880 --> 0:57:22.240
<v Speaker 1>teaching about trans niss like at all. You can't teach

0:57:22.240 --> 0:57:25.480
<v Speaker 1>about gender. You can't teach about like sex. You can't

0:57:25.520 --> 0:57:29.440
<v Speaker 1>teach about you know, you can't teach about the fact

0:57:29.480 --> 0:57:31.600
<v Speaker 1>that you can, in fact change your gender and it's

0:57:31.640 --> 0:57:34.960
<v Speaker 1>good and cool. Um. The Human Rights Campaign says quote.

0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:38.440
<v Speaker 1>This bill would also prohibit schools from providing gender reforming

0:57:38.440 --> 0:57:42.920
<v Speaker 1>accommodations for transgender students without parental consents, and would require

0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:46.680
<v Speaker 1>school staff to out transgender students. UM. So I read

0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:48.720
<v Speaker 1>this bill and it's not clear to me how it

0:57:48.800 --> 0:57:51.120
<v Speaker 1>requires that but that's what the lawyers are saying, and

0:57:51.120 --> 0:57:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a lawyer, so it may or may not

0:57:53.680 --> 0:57:56.680
<v Speaker 1>require that. This is another thing, very specifically, This isn't

0:57:56.680 --> 0:57:59.680
<v Speaker 1>everything that that that that's been happening in the sort

0:57:59.680 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of news where waves of these laws are laws that

0:58:02.280 --> 0:58:07.080
<v Speaker 1>specifically require school counselors, teachers, and school staff to out

0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:10.360
<v Speaker 1>their kids, like to out kids to their parents, which

0:58:10.480 --> 0:58:14.800
<v Speaker 1>is unbelievably dangerous. In the last few years alone, there

0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:16.520
<v Speaker 1>have been a bunch of trans people who are just

0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:19.760
<v Speaker 1>killed by their parents. And you know, forcibly adding people

0:58:20.000 --> 0:58:22.360
<v Speaker 1>is like you you're you're exposing them to the risk

0:58:22.400 --> 0:58:24.520
<v Speaker 1>of abuse, You're exposing them to the risk of unsafe

0:58:24.600 --> 0:58:27.640
<v Speaker 1>housing environments. No, it's just a little soft whack by

0:58:27.680 --> 0:58:30.840
<v Speaker 1>your grandma, I remember, just a little a little tap

0:58:30.920 --> 0:58:33.400
<v Speaker 1>on the head. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna fucking beat

0:58:33.400 --> 0:58:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you to death. So these bills in Iowa have been

0:58:38.120 --> 0:58:40.240
<v Speaker 1>passed by the House in the Senate and they're just

0:58:40.680 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like they're just like sitting on a desk waiting for

0:58:42.520 --> 0:58:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the government to sign them, and the governor's going to

0:58:44.720 --> 0:58:48.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that's that situation in Iowa. In Arkansas, you

0:58:48.320 --> 0:58:51.680
<v Speaker 1>have the hormone pubuty blocker, gender firming surgery ban. The

0:58:51.840 --> 0:58:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas one is on hold because you know, and this

0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:56.720
<v Speaker 1>is a this is true for a couple of these,

0:58:57.400 --> 0:59:01.120
<v Speaker 1>is that people have done legal challenges on it, and yeah,

0:59:01.400 --> 0:59:05.080
<v Speaker 1>our Arkansas particulars had a huge legal fight. We still

0:59:05.160 --> 0:59:06.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know how that's I mean, the legal fights are

0:59:06.560 --> 0:59:08.439
<v Speaker 1>going on for like a year. We still haven't gotten

0:59:08.560 --> 0:59:11.760
<v Speaker 1>ruling on it yet. They also have a ban on

0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:15.920
<v Speaker 1>transcids competing in sports. Alabama made it a Class C

0:59:16.240 --> 0:59:18.640
<v Speaker 1>felony punishable by oh to a decade in prison. To

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:22.400
<v Speaker 1>give trensch Endry kids hormones, puberty blockers, gender affirming surgery.

0:59:22.800 --> 0:59:25.080
<v Speaker 1>This was also interesting because it's the only bill so

0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:27.240
<v Speaker 1>most of these ones when they do when they say minors, right,

0:59:27.280 --> 0:59:30.440
<v Speaker 1>it's until you're eighteen. You can't get it for whatever reason. Alabama,

0:59:31.040 --> 0:59:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it also bans eighteen year olds from getting any of

0:59:33.160 --> 0:59:38.320
<v Speaker 1>these things. You just have to be nineteen. Yeah, part

0:59:38.400 --> 0:59:41.760
<v Speaker 1>part of the bill, you know about hormone blockers, So okay,

0:59:41.760 --> 0:59:45.000
<v Speaker 1>So specifically, the part of the parts of this bill

0:59:45.080 --> 0:59:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that are about hormones and hormone blockers are on hold

0:59:47.920 --> 0:59:50.360
<v Speaker 1>pending sort of resolution to legal challenges. But the judge

0:59:50.440 --> 0:59:52.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, fuck it, you can do with the surgery band,

0:59:52.920 --> 0:59:57.880
<v Speaker 1>So that sucks. Alabama also has bills that you know,

0:59:58.040 --> 1:00:00.560
<v Speaker 1>have the whole trans kids in school can't use the

1:00:00.640 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>right bathroom and you know, teachers, counselors and other school

1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>officials have to out them. They also have another dose

1:00:08.960 --> 1:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>trans bill that does a very similar thing about bands

1:00:12.000 --> 1:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>teachers from talking about transits until fifth grade. I think

1:00:14.960 --> 1:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these bills are written by like lobbying

1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>groups who just be and paced the same thing. And

1:00:19.240 --> 1:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>so I see a whole bunch of different states. I

1:00:21.840 --> 1:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>will say there are weird differences in them, like so

1:00:26.000 --> 1:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you'll see like different completely scattered shot like definitions of

1:00:30.720 --> 1:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>what hormones are, or like like some somebody's bills trying

1:00:33.720 --> 1:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to find what a woman is. And it's very funny

1:00:36.360 --> 1:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>because they have to like do all this weird stuff

1:00:39.000 --> 1:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>about like like clusters of like chromosomes, but also there's

1:00:42.720 --> 1:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>like chromosomal diseases, Like you can't do this, like a

1:00:45.840 --> 1:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>fuck off. It's it's so funny. We should also mention that,

1:00:48.920 --> 1:00:52.160
<v Speaker 1>like there will be more reporting on this later, this bill.

1:00:52.320 --> 1:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>This episodes are ready too long, but there have been

1:00:54.880 --> 1:00:57.479
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of emails released from a bunch of anti

1:00:57.560 --> 1:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>trans sort of organizer and fake scientists and stuff about

1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>how they've been coordinating all of this, and a lot

1:01:04.840 --> 1:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of the experts that they use for testimony for all

1:01:07.720 --> 1:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>off they show up to these capitals are like, are

1:01:09.520 --> 1:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>exactly the same people, And the big guy they have

1:01:12.640 --> 1:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>saying that puberty blockers is unsafe like has never worked

1:01:15.800 --> 1:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>with a transperson in their life and has no fucking

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>idea what they're talking about. So you know, this is

1:01:21.520 --> 1:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>this is this is this is fun. Utah also bands

1:01:26.280 --> 1:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>also passed a band banning gender affirming surgeries, puberty blockers,

1:01:29.840 --> 1:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and hormones. They also have a band I also have

1:01:32.240 --> 1:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a bill forcing students and counselors to out their students

1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to their families. Last year, Utah Governor Spencer Cox was

1:01:39.240 --> 1:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>praised by the media for a symbolic veto of a

1:01:42.280 --> 1:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>bill that made it illegal for trans students to compete

1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in sports. Cox signed this fucking bill. Signed, signed, the

1:01:49.440 --> 1:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>one signed, the one that bands of gender affirming surgeries,

1:01:53.200 --> 1:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>pubty blockers, and hormones. Yeah, I think we're talked about

1:01:55.840 --> 1:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>this last year. Yeah, I want to we had we

1:02:00.480 --> 1:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>talked about some Utah thing last Yeah, well we talked. Yeah,

1:02:04.280 --> 1:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the thing we talked about him vetoing that bill. Um,

1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to read his thing for why why he packed?

1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Why so he vetoed the bill that was less bad

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and signed the one that's worse. And I'm going to

1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>read what he said about this quote. While we understand

1:02:21.400 --> 1:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>our words will be of little comfort to those who

1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>disagree with us, we sincerely hope that we can treat

1:02:26.360 --> 1:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>our transgender families with more love and respect as we

1:02:29.800 --> 1:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>work to better understand the science and consequences behind these procedures.

1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Fuck off, Fuck all the way off. He's trying to

1:02:36.760 --> 1:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>avoid the Nuremberg trials. Look as a neutrals. As a

1:02:41.600 --> 1:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>neutral objective journalist, I'm obligated to inform me that Spencer

1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Cox was a full time missionary from the Mormon Church,

1:02:47.240 --> 1:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>which is currently embroiled in a pedophilias gandal after is

1:02:50.040 --> 1:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>revealed to have systematically protected church members and members of

1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the clergy who sexually abused children from church sanctions and

1:02:56.440 --> 1:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>legal repercussions. Under Utah law, clergy have the right of

1:03:00.040 --> 1:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>penitent privilege, which means they are not required to report

1:03:03.160 --> 1:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>child abuse to the authorities as long as the information

1:03:05.680 --> 1:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>is revealedgere confession. Both the Mormon and Catholic churches, along

1:03:09.720 --> 1:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>with Jehovah's witnesses, have lobbied against all efforts have changed

1:03:12.920 --> 1:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>this law. Earlier this month, survivors at the Mormon Church

1:03:16.000 --> 1:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>rallied in support of a bill that would have endependent privilege.

1:03:19.120 --> 1:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Governor Cox publicly announced his support for the bill being

1:03:22.200 --> 1:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>considered and in legislature, but did nothing to pressure legislators

1:03:25.880 --> 1:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to vote for and as of time of recording, the

1:03:28.000 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>bill is dead, leaving the church free to protect yet

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>another round of pedophiles. Also, his name is Cox. Yeah,

1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>so South Dakota also did. I could do this for

1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>every fucking governor on this list, and I decided I

1:03:42.840 --> 1:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to do it once and not do it

1:03:44.080 --> 1:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>for all the rest of them, but fuck him. South

1:03:47.640 --> 1:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Dakota has a sports bill. They also have a ban

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>on puberty blockers, hormones, degenerate framing surgery. Arizona has a

1:03:53.680 --> 1:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>NATI bathroom bill. Tennessee has a sports ban. It has

1:03:59.480 --> 1:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the basically identical ban on puberty blockers, hormones, and gender

1:04:02.960 --> 1:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>affirming surgery, and it also has this. It also has

1:04:06.680 --> 1:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>what's been kind of a new innovation. I guess which

1:04:10.400 --> 1:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is the anti they have an anti drag law. Yes,

1:04:13.040 --> 1:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>this is the one that's gotten the most amount attraction,

1:04:14.720 --> 1:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and it sparked some debate over how much of it

1:04:17.880 --> 1:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>can actually be applied against just trans people living their

1:04:21.040 --> 1:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>lives because it is tied to the state's pre existing

1:04:24.480 --> 1:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>obscenity laws. So there's been some debate about this. We will,

1:04:29.120 --> 1:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>we will. We will learn more about this as it

1:04:32.200 --> 1:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>starts being enforced by law enforcement and the court system. Yeah,

1:04:35.960 --> 1:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about it. It's not good. Like, yeah,

1:04:39.240 --> 1:04:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about it a little bit more

1:04:42.120 --> 1:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>so the specific bill, it makes it illegal for anyone

1:04:45.120 --> 1:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>to be underage and a drag show. And you know,

1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it basically applies like the rules around the sex offender

1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>list for where you can have drag shows. So Governor

1:04:55.080 --> 1:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>William Brian Lee, who signed this bill, did drag in

1:04:57.840 --> 1:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>high school, which I'm saying. No, I'm saying here not

1:04:59.720 --> 1:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to out the hypocrisy, like Governor Lee doesn't see anything

1:05:02.280 --> 1:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>any hypocrisy here, but to get across the fact the

1:05:05.000 --> 1:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Republicans who want to do this stuff will still be

1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>able to This bill will targeted a very very specific

1:05:09.960 --> 1:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>group of people. As Jules gil Peterson points out in

1:05:13.080 --> 1:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>your piece to left hand of the law, which people

1:05:14.760 --> 1:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>should go read, this is an attack on a very specific,

1:05:17.880 --> 1:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>precarious class of workers, many of whom are trans, some

1:05:20.560 --> 1:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of whom aren't, who do drag performances. This is this

1:05:24.760 --> 1:05:27.280
<v Speaker 1>is it's it's it's a very specific attempt to sort

1:05:27.280 --> 1:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of like neutralize, Okay, it's targeting this very specific middle

1:05:33.600 --> 1:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>ground between sort of like being in the formal economy

1:05:37.640 --> 1:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>and doing sex work. There are an enormous amount of

1:05:39.880 --> 1:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>trans people who do sex work. Drag shows provide a

1:05:44.400 --> 1:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>way to sort of like not exactly enter the middle class,

1:05:48.960 --> 1:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>but it provides a legal way for trans people to

1:05:52.920 --> 1:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>like have a job that's not fucking that. And those

1:05:56.320 --> 1:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and those workers are specifically the people being targeted by this.

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. The other thing that's unclear is, for example,

1:06:05.360 --> 1:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like if a podcast does a live show where there's

1:06:07.680 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>trans people, like, what will happen? We don't know. But

1:06:12.200 --> 1:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the other thing I want to say about this, right

1:06:13.600 --> 1:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>is everyone's talking about this fucking drag bill. I have

1:06:16.160 --> 1:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>seen like basically zero discussion of the of the fact

1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that they also past the same fucking band on puberty blockers,

1:06:22.720 --> 1:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>hormones and gender affirming surgery, which is way way more

1:06:26.360 --> 1:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>destructive and damaging. It's like but directly attacking. Yeah, so

1:06:30.400 --> 1:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I want to push back about the like, yeah,

1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>like what you're talking about about, like what will happen

1:06:36.280 --> 1:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>if you do a live show? Like what will happen?

1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Because to trans people who live in these states, the

1:06:41.280 --> 1:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>state I live in as a red state, well it's

1:06:43.160 --> 1:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>not supposed to be, but as a red state, and

1:06:45.960 --> 1:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, is considering a drag bill and things like that.

1:06:48.480 --> 1:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>And I recognize that they're like aimed, they're targeted specifically

1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:57.960
<v Speaker 1>at drag performances, but there's a fairly easy interpretation of

1:06:58.000 --> 1:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these things that literally says I can

1:07:00.160 --> 1:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>go to the grocery store. And that is how like

1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of transpeople in Tennessee are viewing this right now.

1:07:06.280 --> 1:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And so I don't think it's it's a disproportionate thing

1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that the drag bill is something that a lot of

1:07:13.000 --> 1:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>people are focusing on. I mean, we all care also

1:07:15.960 --> 1:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>about the hormone issues or whatever, but the Tennessee passing

1:07:20.120 --> 1:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the drag law that other states are considering is a

1:07:24.320 --> 1:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>new bad thing that could criminalize our very public existence. Yeah,

1:07:31.840 --> 1:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that is part of the kind of discussion around this

1:07:34.600 --> 1:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>laws ties to the pre existing obscenity laws, and that

1:07:38.640 --> 1:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>will heavily depend on the discretion that law enforcement chooses

1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to employ this law, and if it gets taken up

1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to the court system, how the court's going to interpret

1:07:48.320 --> 1:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>this law. So it is like the vagueness is part

1:07:52.960 --> 1:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of the point because that causes a lot of fear

1:07:55.200 --> 1:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>because you really just don't know what it all entails.

1:07:58.800 --> 1:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that's weird because you don't know if you

1:08:02.760 --> 1:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>going to the store is going to be a felony

1:08:05.600 --> 1:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>or not, And how are you supposed to live like that? Yeah,

1:08:10.120 --> 1:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and it I don't know. The sort of pervasive atmosphere

1:08:13.360 --> 1:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of fear is definitely like part of the point of this, right,

1:08:17.520 --> 1:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Like part of the way the sort of extermination campaign

1:08:20.439 --> 1:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>works is by forcing everyone to sort of live in

1:08:22.720 --> 1:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>fear of what they can and can't do, and also

1:08:26.280 --> 1:08:28.639
<v Speaker 1>live in fear specifically of the police increasing the amount

1:08:28.640 --> 1:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>of violence that they're deploying. Yeah, I mean, and all

1:08:30.840 --> 1:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>the stuff like we talked about, they're specifically targeting people's

1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:37.719
<v Speaker 1>ability to exist in a public life, which is whenever

1:08:37.840 --> 1:08:39.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to do a genocide, that's one of the

1:08:39.760 --> 1:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>things you do is you make people unable to exist

1:08:42.040 --> 1:08:44.840
<v Speaker 1>in public life. This is literally what the Nazis did, right,

1:08:44.960 --> 1:08:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Like you section them off into their own little communities

1:08:47.800 --> 1:08:52.519
<v Speaker 1>where they cannot actually leave and enter into the outside world. Yep. So,

1:08:53.600 --> 1:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>so far as of writing this, there are seven states

1:08:57.800 --> 1:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with bands on gender, firm and care for Youth. I

1:08:59.760 --> 1:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>was to become number eight whenever the governor gets around

1:09:02.560 --> 1:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>as signing the bill. There are nineteen states that ban

1:09:05.120 --> 1:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>trans athletes from competing. There are a number of states.

1:09:09.479 --> 1:09:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh so other soft forgot much. So there's like literally

1:09:12.880 --> 1:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>while I was like, while I was like waiting to

1:09:16.120 --> 1:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>record this episode, there were a few things that happened

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>in like the legislature. So in Florida, there was a

1:09:25.120 --> 1:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>bill that got just got out of committee that would

1:09:28.080 --> 1:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>ban LGBTQ books like in all libraries, not just sort

1:09:32.439 --> 1:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of school libraries. So I don't know that that actually

1:09:35.880 --> 1:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>has a real chance of passing because it's Florida. There's

1:09:38.560 --> 1:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of movement right now. The situation is very

1:09:41.040 --> 1:09:46.519
<v Speaker 1>very sort of fluid and bad. Yes, yeah, I would

1:09:46.520 --> 1:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>say it it is. Um. I think one closing note,

1:09:49.040 --> 1:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I will save my kind of my ending thesis to

1:09:52.040 --> 1:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>start the next episode, just because we're going on so

1:09:53.960 --> 1:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>long here. But the last thing I will say is

1:09:56.439 --> 1:09:59.759
<v Speaker 1>I be wary of social media accounts that to depend

1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>on ramping up and spreading panic to grow their follower accounts.

1:10:03.200 --> 1:10:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Typically news news aggregation accounts are not the best source

1:10:06.520 --> 1:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of information because their existence is entirely dependent on causing PANICUM.

1:10:12.280 --> 1:10:15.639
<v Speaker 1>So like look into the things like beyond just a tweet,

1:10:15.760 --> 1:10:18.479
<v Speaker 1>like look into stuff before before you spread it. Um.

1:10:18.640 --> 1:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Just as like a general rule of thumb. I'm not

1:10:20.640 --> 1:10:23.160
<v Speaker 1>calling anybody out here in any way, I'm just saying

1:10:23.479 --> 1:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>it is. It is a good practice to get into,

1:10:25.479 --> 1:10:29.559
<v Speaker 1>especially when we're looking into stuff that is about our

1:10:29.640 --> 1:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>very existence being criminalized, and that can be very depressing. Um.

1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And it can suck to be constantly bombarded with. So

1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>it's good to stay connected to stuff that's going on

1:10:38.920 --> 1:10:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in your own state. It's good to stay connected to

1:10:41.360 --> 1:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>bills that have a decent trends of passing. But but

1:10:44.400 --> 1:10:48.479
<v Speaker 1>be wary of of of of undo panic spreading just

1:10:48.760 --> 1:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>constantly NonStop, because a big part of being trends needs

1:10:52.320 --> 1:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to also be like finding joy in living. Yeah, I think.

1:10:56.720 --> 1:10:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I think. The very last thing I want to say

1:10:58.760 --> 1:11:01.439
<v Speaker 1>to lead into this next episode is We're not fucking

1:11:01.560 --> 1:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>done yet. We are still here. We're going to continue

1:11:04.120 --> 1:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to be here. We are going to kick these people's

1:11:06.120 --> 1:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>fucking shit in and we are going to fight them

1:11:09.280 --> 1:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>for every fucking engine they are going to lose. And

1:11:11.960 --> 1:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>next episode is going to be us talking about how

1:11:14.200 --> 1:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you can start doing that. It could Happen Here as
