00:00:00.000 I don't know if this person had the surgeries but I've interviewed people that have had them
00:00:03.820 and holy crap they can't even pee right they have to use a catheter to pee what's up guys welcome
00:00:09.560 to my reaction series so today we are reacting to Elliot Page uh who is formerly this is like 0.99
00:00:16.660 a trans person so it used to be Ellen Page and it was this like batty woman and now she's become
00:00:23.180 like a ugly male um i don't know why on earth he would do that but elliot page is now asking 0.81
00:00:31.980 about masculinity so let's see what this um he she's got to something something and um
00:00:40.220 i'm getting you know to continue to grow and and and build this relationship with someone that i'm
00:00:45.260 really love who's so sweet and caring and incredibly funny and talented and uh
00:00:59.020 and gorge she's so hot and cool yeah she's so hot you know her yeah our little julia
00:01:04.300 shiplett and it's cool how julia's just got her thing going you know like it's really so great
00:01:09.100 that you guys have just each doing your own thing yeah i've been asking people about masculinity
00:01:15.900 and femininity we are seeing so much and i mean i mean our entire lives we've seen so much
00:01:22.460 unhealthy masculinity so much sickness in this world specifically through the lens of men and
00:01:30.540 in your gender journey which to me as someone who knows you but also as someone consuming you as a
00:01:37.020 a public figure to me you appear healthy and continually finding more health and security
00:01:45.100 what does um what does it mean to you to hear me say healthy masculinity healthy masculinity
00:01:53.580 to me is or even just something i've felt as trends like transitioning is like leaning away 0.79
00:02:01.260 from you know it's unfortunate is because being a trans person you're still the genetics of women 0.91
00:02:06.220 which are defective right like we are emotional um like at least a he she like a he that becomes 0.59
00:02:12.620 she gets like the logic the problem solving and the reason but none of the like emotions of being 0.62
00:02:18.700 a woman but a woman gets like the negative mental of being a woman because men have like better
00:02:23.340 mental um i don't know if i'm making sense but yeah and now like it's like a double homicide
00:02:32.300 now whenever there is some sort of impulse or expectation you've put on yourself to like
00:02:39.340 shut down or conform in a way that usually feels like this like i am closing off i remember kind
00:02:46.860 of being like oh elliot maybe you should you know talk with your hands a little less or
00:02:51.580 you know maybe in pictures yours because all ever since transitioning now i'm like johnny i'm
00:02:56.060 smiling i am smiling in those photos that is it whereas i hope this does not look like a happy
00:03:02.220 person i'm always smiling okay i'm a smiler like but ever since i was a kid this is my picture i'd
00:03:09.900 be like you know uh are you you sir i barely look at a photo of myself i was always like
00:03:16.620 you know and now and i'll be taking to say a dude's like hey are you are you victor from
00:03:21.580 umbrella academy you know and we're doing a photo together he's very i'm right yeah and like having
00:03:27.340 that moment where i'm like oh should i also not like should i also be close it's just like what
00:03:32.780 the elliot what are you what are you talking about like oh honey you're the part of the problem
00:03:38.860 so i think it's to me healthy masculinity would be well you know what healthiness for anyone to
00:03:47.180 just you know love themselves be able to care for themselves ideally get rest when masculinity is
00:03:52.860 having a plan a plan of action that's masculine loving yourself as a woman because uh women don't 0.98
00:03:59.420 do anything other than you know try to love our flaws which is so many right so canned you know 1.00
00:04:07.820 like just the practical basic drink water like eat a banana you know like and also just
00:04:17.180 you know doing what you can to be intentionally and mindfully not letting yourself get like
00:04:23.900 swayed or twisted by um the the the rules that i i feel like end up like leading to
00:04:37.100 what's up guys i have an urgent announcement about an epidemic that has already crippled
00:04:42.300 our society near the point of no return. This epidemic, the media will not dare to mention,
00:04:49.700 except me. It is rotting the economy, the social order, and life itself in this society.
00:04:57.420 The simp epidemic has taken a hold of America and it must be stopped. Strong men are being 0.87
00:05:02.420 destroyed and sabotaged. The agenda is clear. They want to make men weak, docile, and compliant.
00:05:08.360 The end game is for all men to be simps, and we're dangerously close to the point of no return. 0.90
00:05:14.260 One of the primary attack vectors is to lower men's testosterone levels. 0.70
00:05:18.640 This happens on a physical level, but it is done by first crushing the male spirit and drive. 0.98
00:05:24.960 I've partnered with my friends at Chalk.com, C-H-O-Q.com, who are on a mission to stop the simp epidemic in its tracks. 0.96

00:06:06.520 that we see that are, you know, do get inflicted by toxic masculinity, um, violence and, um, abuse,
00:06:16.240 um, just general cruelty. And, uh, yeah, I think it's just like
00:06:24.340 healthy masculinity could just mean a really good cry a really good cry 0.90
00:06:31.660 oh let me know how that goes you know what i mean that's the thing women like to cry men like to 0.69
00:06:38.360 figure out a plan i just want to make sure i'm always like 0.98
00:06:43.080 leaning away from that pull to
00:06:49.220 to shut off emotionally i'm hearing like an openness yeah practicing opening yeah because
00:06:58.060 it's so true like a closed off that and like see they're like when they say that about men
00:07:03.780 like men are closed off you're trying to teach men to emote like women um
00:07:08.440 so you're teaching men to communicate emotions like women do and women don't communicate like us
00:07:15.580 or men don't communicate like women so they're effectively communicating that uh being masculine
00:07:22.060 is wrong and the closed off could lead to just impatience it could lead to whatever it is i'm
00:07:28.700 trying so much to just be like when that happens it's like elliot shoulders back take a few breaths
00:07:35.260 it really makes a difference but when we are organized through this such a strict rigid
00:07:40.140 system the pressure to conform we don't realize how that pressure to conform is suppressing our
00:07:46.620 health restricting our nervous system this is kind of what i was like thinking about about being in
00:07:51.580 love and the ah the relaxation and my my journey with gender and sexuality has like opened up so
00:07:59.420 much since becoming a parent the physical experience of of making a person and then
00:08:05.260 getting that person out of my body like that has been a huge touchstone for me for opening up my
00:08:12.540 own pressure to conform like it was in my pregnancy that i realized i identify as non-binary as a
00:08:20.300 non-binary woman in pregnancy and that was when my sex like opened up and actually i was able to
00:08:27.500 finally take in the relax and the surrendering to my partner that i i didn't realize i didn't even
00:08:33.820 know how tightly i was holding on to it but it is that pressure to conform that restricts us
00:08:41.180 that we don't even know we're being held so tightly by and it's it's painful for everybody
00:08:47.900 it's it's so it's so um it's cruel you saying cruelty as related to the patriarchy it's
00:08:55.180 unfortunate it's so incredible that these women are paid to act talk and do really relatively 0.53
00:09:00.620 easy jobs for a living uh hypocritical i know i have an easy job i have an easy job i have one 0.98
00:09:06.220 it has its challenges but it's not the same as like the coal mine or whatever bullshit so 0.95
00:09:11.300 um sorry not bullshit but you know what i mean like that all that stuff is way harder
00:09:16.380 hierarchy of hard jobs i'm at the bottom so anyways my my point really with this is um 0.98
00:09:24.640 it's just incredible how women can be paid to talk into a microphone and still complain
00:09:30.240 women can be paid to talk into a microphone and then complain about oppression with the microphone
00:09:34.720 that men sacrifice their bodies to build so true you know the trans experience of finding your
00:09:41.800 comfort in your body is particularly visible and yours as a person who's been famous for so long
00:09:48.440 is particularly pronounced but this is actually uh emblematic of how everybody feels in this
00:09:55.600 society wrong in their bodies i the as women being told we're too fat we're too thin not curvy enough
00:10:02.620 too curvy men cis men are taking tea no okay oh you've got to be i mean you're chopped the reason
00:10:08.420 you're told you're too fat too thin is because you're chopped if you look like um a beautiful 0.97
00:10:12.720 woman then you get compliments um ugly men don't get complimented either this men take tea and then 0.98
00:10:18.000 are uh loudly transphobic you know podcasters whatever and we're missing this we're missing
00:10:25.440 this opportunity for the trans experience to be this like just uh particularly pronounced
00:10:35.440 and accessible example of finding your true self one thing i feel really fortunate about about like
00:10:44.720 what does your true self mean you know that's because women are fit you know i bet women say
00:10:53.380 my true self because women are so used to being fake all the time that we don't even know what 0.63
00:10:57.660 our true self is you know what i mean because we're just so fake so getting nominated for an 0.95
00:11:04.160 oscar when i was 20 or whatever and having that happen when i was so young and in that period
00:11:12.560 feeling the worst like absolutely just not okay and those in those years following and to learn
00:11:22.440 can you imagine getting an oscar and still complaining ninja please in that lesson so young
00:11:28.320 like to go like i actually don't care that's not what i care about and something's not okay here
00:11:37.260 And like to be in a place now where I can like reflect on that and then just sort of where my priorities are, where they are creatively, like there's just, I feel so lucky to have learned that young, that you could have this thing that everyone's saying is the dream come true and people's obsession with fame and, you know, or what success means and don't get me.
00:11:58.040 And stop doing it.
00:11:59.340 Do you know what I mean?
00:12:00.060 This is the problem with people never having had a real job is that they don't know what it's like to spend five years at a job you hate that builds character.
00:12:10.040 You're wrong.
00:12:10.880 Of course, it comes with, you know, it helps your career, of course.
00:12:15.580 But I just mean, like, it gave me such a, I think, profoundly important lesson so young.
00:12:23.680 and
00:12:25.500 in some ways I feel like that relates to like you know conformity or you know how people
00:12:32.800 think they should you know approach life or or they get lost in an idea of what success means
00:12:43.460 to them or what have you and and like in terms of my transness I feel so lucky because
00:12:49.880 i feel like i've gone from a place where i could barely function i was so uncomfortable to now
00:12:58.260 kind of no matter what's going on like my feet are on the ground and uh do you know what after
00:13:04.280 those surgeries i don't know how anybody could be comfortable i don't know if this person had
00:13:07.860 the surgeries but i've interviewed people that have had them and holy crap they can't even pee
00:13:13.480 right they have to use a catheter to pee i had to do all that digging and i had to like
00:13:17.620 This is a problem. When women look too far into ourselves, ourselves are evil. So we got to look 1.00
00:13:23.020 outward because inward, it's just going to be demons. So you really got to look outward because
00:13:27.100 if you look inside too long, you're just going to go crazy. And this is the antithesis, right?
00:13:32.980 She's saying, I looked inward. Well, if you look inward, you're just going to get evil, you know.
00:13:39.540 Scrape through all those layers and not worry about what people were going to say or think
00:13:43.880 and all that and gosh when you do get like feel like liberated from that and that shame that
00:13:50.540 you've been carrying like that is what I would wish for everybody for everybody and I do think
00:13:57.660 that's what trans and gender non-conforming people can can offer and I and of course they people in
00:14:07.080 power what have you these like you know white supremacist patriarchal structures don't want
00:14:13.380 people to feel liberated yeah and feel how much more liberated can you be again talking on a 1.00
00:14:19.420 podcast women always have the audacity that's why i know the same demand this is a woman because 1.00
00:14:23.160 she has the audacity to complain while talking that sense of power and feel that sense of 1.00
00:14:27.920 possibility um yeah nor do they want to lose a societal structure that you know keeps so many
00:14:35.860 people oppressed and resources extracted and men are really the oppressed one thing that it leads
00:14:41.640 do men are really the oppressed ones because men are enslaved to women like they have to take
00:14:45.640 they through taxes they take men's money and give it to women that is so brilliant okay my last
00:14:52.040 question is you were you started working at a young age you had talent plus drive plus the
00:14:59.400 skill set to apply that talent and drive keep yourself as safe as you possibly could and make
00:15:06.120 it through to this healthy state where you are more and more and more yourself as such a driven
00:15:13.800 person who's also had the sometimes it can be unfortunate the confirmation of success
00:15:20.840 how do you pause and step away and find rest well this now that's incredible they're asking
00:15:30.360 a podcast or how you found rest it's like every day is rest ninja dude um i feel like i'm so much
00:15:39.000 better at but i think that's just because i'm comfort like i can actually physically rest you
00:15:43.720 know i think just sitting with yourself yeah right just being more comfortable in my body so for me
00:15:48.520 now it's i don't know it's pretty simple i'm really just i love walking my dog hell yeah
00:15:58.440 getting to check in see friends spend time with my wonderful girlfriend i love to read
00:16:04.920 now you strike me as a reader i really love to read bragging page bragger author and reader
00:16:12.520 um it really it just really calms me it's just like that is actually what in the evening and
00:16:18.760 just a couple hours of that like that is just for me so calming and weirdly where i can focus
00:16:24.280 yeah whereas lately i'm noticing like watching stuff weirdly i i end up looking at my phone
00:16:30.120 you know it's just but uh yeah the the book keeps me there so it really i think is just about um
00:16:40.520 it's just incredible because this he she or whatever this is what she was cute before
00:16:47.880 a cute young woman bruh why would you give all that up 0.83
00:16:54.280 to enjoy feeling comfortable. Oh my gosh. Okay. Well, this is what happens when 1.00
00:16:59.200 people need to be victims for a living. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. I really
00:17:04.180 enjoyed this podcast. So if you want me to react to more feminist slop, put it in the comments, 1.00
00:17:09.340 like the video. I'll see you next time. 0.85
