00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday. This episode is brought to you by Good Ranchers.

00:00:19.660 Okay guys, I've got a really big and important interview for you today. I'm just going to go
00:00:26.480 ahead and warn you. Do not listen to this interview out loud around your kids. All right? This is for
00:00:34.840 you to listen to and watch maybe with your spouse so you can discuss it or maybe with the women in
00:00:40.820 your Bible study. If you are a teenager who listens to this podcast, I love that you're here. This is
00:00:48.060 a very mature subject that I would really encourage you, if you would, to have your parent listen to
00:00:54.220 first or just to skip over it. I'm not even sure if it's necessary for you to listen to or watch. I
00:00:59.420 know I don't really have control over that, but I'm going to do the best I can to put this kind of
00:01:03.760 filter in front of you and say that we are talking about some explicit things, some things that I
00:01:09.500 wish we didn't have to talk about because they're so disturbing. They really make me want to cry.
00:01:16.680 But the reason why I'm so desperate for you to listen to this conversation,
00:01:21.260 the reason why I'm doing this conversation in this interview is because I want us to see and
00:01:29.140 to stare in the face the darkness and the depravity that is underneath the gender ideology,
00:01:38.200 the radical gender ideology that has taken our culture captive. I want you to see that when it
00:01:45.700 comes to this subject, we are dealing with evil. We are dealing with people who are perpetrating evil
00:01:52.500 and people who are victims of evil. Sometimes those are the same people. We're going to be talking
00:01:57.600 about pornography. We are going to be talking about pornography's role and sexual perversion's role
00:02:07.580 in all of this. We're going to be talking about BDSM and how that is inextricably intertwined with this movement
00:02:18.400 as taboo, as controversial as that is to say. This is largely, when it comes to the involvement of adult men
00:02:27.740 in this sexual in nature, predatory in nature. It is important that we recognize that. That is not an
00:02:38.680 unloving thing to say. Actually, the most loving thing that we can do is to speak the truth about
00:02:44.740 this because we are talking about the victimization in particular of women and children. If you care about
00:02:51.840 so-called social justice, if you care about equality, if you care about true equity, if you care about
00:02:58.060 the least of these, if you care about the vulnerable and the marginalized, you need to care about this
00:03:03.260 and you need to open your eyes and ears to the truth of what is really going on here. I know it's easy
00:03:12.000 to just add some colors to the rainbow flag and call it a day and to just latch on to every new
00:03:19.620 cultural, social movement that happens and call yourself inclusive and tolerant. But this moment
00:03:27.000 calls for a lot of critical thinking. It calls for explicit clarity and it calls for courage,
00:03:35.180 especially on the part of Christians. So one of the reasons why I'm talking about this is that
00:03:41.100 I think that it is biblical to talk about this. So there is a passage in Ephesians 5 that I think
00:03:49.100 is pertinent to this. Take no part, 511, take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness,
00:03:57.820 for it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed
00:04:05.000 by the light, it becomes visible for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says,
00:04:11.980 awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead and Christ will shine on you. And you know what? Let me
00:04:17.720 back up just a little bit because I also think that the verses before this matter. So let me go to verse
00:04:23.840 6. Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God
00:04:29.600 comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not become partners with them. For at one time you
00:04:35.840 were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. So walk of children as children of light,
00:04:41.000 for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true. And try to discern what
00:04:47.200 is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose
00:04:54.160 them. Whatever is shown by the light becomes visible. For anything that becomes visible is light.
00:05:01.740 So that is what I venture to do in this conversation that I am about to have with someone who describes
00:05:07.600 yourself as a feminist. That means that we probably disagree on a lot of political issues, but on this,
00:05:13.000 I'm happy to link arms with her. And she is an incredible reporter, very smart, very insightful,
00:05:20.920 especially when it comes to the subject. And she has really fearlessly investigated into the roots and
00:05:26.980 into the organization of transgender ideology and how that is affecting women and children. So we are
00:05:34.460 joined today by a woman named Genevieve Gluck. She's a journalist at the site Redux, and she is
00:05:40.180 going to talk to us about her research and what it has revealed, just the depths of depravity here.
00:05:46.340 And I want you at any point that you need to, to pause and to pray, to take a breath. But I also want
00:05:52.220 you to share this episode. I want you to share this episode with as many people as possible. People who are
00:05:57.560 on the fence, people who are confused, people who just need to be woken up to this. If this is something,
00:06:03.240 if this is an ideology that is being pushed on your kids, whether it's through Disney, the shows that
00:06:07.900 they're watching, the videos that they're watching, the school that they're attending, the curriculum
00:06:11.500 that they're learning, you need to wake up to the reality of what is going on. This is serious, serious
00:06:17.020 stuff, as serious as it gets. So let's care about this. Let's speak up about this, as our friend Genevieve
00:06:22.700 Gluck does so well. And I'm excited for you to hear this, to listen to this, to watch this, and then to do
00:06:30.460 something about it and turn around and share it with other people. Maybe one of the most important
00:06:35.140 episodes and interviews that I have ever done. Genevieve, thank you so much for joining us.
00:06:51.420 Could you tell everyone who you are and what you do?
00:06:53.580 Sure. Yeah. So my name is Genevieve Gluck, and I'm a feminist essayist and researcher. I have been
00:06:59.780 writing about issues that pertain to women's rights for several years now, I think, starting around
00:07:04.980 like 2017. And I have written some essays about this topic. But in particular, I started a website
00:07:12.860 this year with my friend Anna Slatz called Redux. And we've been using that platform to focus on
00:07:20.160 how gender identity is in conflict in many ways with the rights of women and the rights of children.
00:07:27.780 So that's been my primary focus recently.
00:07:32.300 And you hear a lot that feminists are silent about this issue of gender ideology. Whenever there's a
00:07:40.340 story that comes out of a trans-identified male inmate going into a woman's prison or beating a girl in
00:07:50.080 an athletic competition, you hear, where are the feminists? The feminists are silent. Why are the
00:07:54.480 feminists on board with this? But that's obviously not true. It's not just your outlet, but there are
00:07:58.840 other feminist outlets, too, that are pushing against this ideology. Does that ever get frustrating
00:08:03.880 when people accuse kind of feminists? It's so frustrating.
00:08:07.040 Yes, I'm sure it does. Go ahead.
00:08:10.060 Yeah, I know Megan Murphy, who you've talked with last year, has the same problem. So she was banned from
00:08:16.020 Twitter for talking about this. But, you know, part of the problem is that whenever women do talk
00:08:20.400 about it, we get so much backlash and even get censored. So even the backlash itself could be
00:08:29.040 discouraging people from talking about it. But, you know, there are a lot of feminists who
00:08:33.080 unfortunately have to be anonymous online for this very reason, because of the threat to their job,
00:08:38.020 to their families, and so on.
00:08:39.520 And then there are professing feminists, especially like mainstream Hollywood feminists,
00:08:47.260 who do say that they are totally on board with gender ideology. They don't see any conflict in
00:08:53.000 a man who identifies a woman as a woman playing on a female sports team or going into a female locker
00:09:00.700 room or prison. They think that's just inclusive and fine. What do you make of that?
00:09:05.920 I mean, you know, it's hard to say. It's different for everybody. But obviously,
00:09:11.220 there's an immense amount of social pressure to go along with this, because going against this has
00:09:16.440 been portrayed as being against human rights, which I would actually argue is not the case at all.
00:09:23.280 But, you know, it's popular. It's trendy, even it's become something of a cool thing and cool issue.
00:09:31.620 You know, recently I was talking to a mother who had a detransitioned daughter, and she even said
00:09:37.200 so that with the children in school, that this is something that's cool and that being quote unquote
00:09:42.480 cis is very boring or seen as old fashioned. So there's that as well.
00:09:49.180 Oh, that's really, really sad. I mean, Abigail Schreier, who I know that you're familiar with,
00:09:54.100 she wrote the book Irreversible Damage. We had her on the podcast at the time,
00:09:57.600 and she looks at the research that shows the social contagion aspect, especially for a lot
00:10:03.060 of young women who are caught in all kinds of social contagions, probably for all of history.
00:10:07.200 And this just happens to be one and a very physically and psychologically damaging one at that.
00:10:15.360 Tell me a little bit more about, I mean, we've gone back and forth about this a lot,
00:10:19.960 but about your research as it pertains to kind of the origins of this kind of gender ideology,
00:10:28.040 and then how it's gotten to the point that you just described, where it's almost cool in some
00:10:34.400 circles. It's almost a trend. I mean, how in the world did we get here?
00:10:40.180 It's a long story.
00:10:41.460 It's a big question.
00:10:42.120 Yeah. But I guess I would put it somewhere along the axis of, you know, sexology and academia in
00:10:50.060 sexology, as well as in pornography. And I see them as intersecting with each other.
00:10:55.800 But if you look at the history of sexology, there's been this growing push to
00:11:02.220 de-stigmatize certain fetishes, which are technically called paraphilias, right? And so
00:11:09.220 in the past, until very recently, actually, this sort of behavior that we see in adult men of,
00:11:15.960 you know, calling themselves girls or wanting to be seen as girls or as women was understood to be
00:11:24.160 fetishistic in nature. And it was called things like transvestic fetishism or transsexualism as
00:11:30.140 well, depending on the extent to which someone would go through with living through this fantasy.
00:11:34.880 So the idea just to be kind of explicit for people who don't know,
00:11:39.140 when you say fetish, it used to be understood that men who dress up as girls, that it was,
00:11:44.700 they would get sexually aroused from that kind of thing. And now it's seen as an identity.
00:11:51.320 Exactly. Exactly. Yes. Now it's taboo to talk about that, even though
00:11:56.340 they will openly talk about that in their own forums throughout Reddit or, you know,
00:12:01.800 anywhere that this issue is being discussed online, it's quite apparent. And that was actually
00:12:06.500 one of the things that led me to look further into this was because it was so out in the open.
00:12:10.640 And yet, if you talk about it, you're deemed to be somewhat crazy or making it up or blowing it out
00:12:18.900 of proportion. So yeah, there's that fetishistic element. And the way I see it is, as this becomes
00:12:27.340 normalized through society, as the push to normalize this, this fetish goes further, it extends on to
00:12:34.300 women and children. So by using women and children as the conduit, this, this typically male behavior
00:12:44.860 can become normalized and accepted through society. And that goes along with the pornography as well.
00:12:51.420 So pornography viewership has just skyrocketed immensely, obviously, with streaming pornography.
00:12:57.820 And so one thing that you have with pornography consumption is the tendency to need to seek out
00:13:04.740 greater and more shocking content to elicit the same thrill. So then you have you enter into this
00:13:11.020 area of body modification. So initially, that would have been women getting really large breast implants
00:13:17.140 or what have you to to heighten the the unnatural aspect and to keep pushing the boundaries as it
00:13:24.580 were further and further. And then you have, well, this isn't my term for it. But technically,
00:13:31.780 it's called tranny porn online, which is the the aspect of the male as the female. So when you have those
00:13:39.860 things combined, the the sexualization of body modification, and then pushing for more and more extreme
00:13:47.460 thrills, you have this going on behind closed doors. And then it's seeping into the public sphere. Yes,
00:13:56.420 that's my take on it. Yeah, there. So there are so many questions that I have within that. And I do want
00:14:00.820 to make sure that we come back to the pornography question. This is something that you have written
00:14:06.020 about before that you've investigated and uncovered. But to go back kind of to the origins of sexology,
00:14:12.740 kind of I mean, I know, it's before the 60s and 70s. But it seems like that one kind of is when it
00:14:18.180 became more institutionalized, especially in academia, if you're looking at someone like Alfred
00:14:23.460 Kinsey, or you're looking at someone like John Money, that's almost when it seems like at least it became
00:14:30.340 acceptable to make these kinds of suggestions that, well, maybe pedophilia is just they would say
00:14:38.420 some kind of sexual orientation, or maybe it is possible, as we saw with the experiment that Dr.
00:14:44.820 Money did on the Reimer twins, to just basically castrate a boy, raise him as a girl, all will be
00:14:51.700 well. And of course, we know that he actually conducted sexual experiments between those two boys, they
00:14:56.260 ended up growing up and committing suicide. And then Alfred Kinsey and all of his perverted ideas
00:15:01.380 of sex and gender. It was the 60s, it seems like that kind of form of what they would call sexual
00:15:08.340 liberation came into being. And it was like an academic and intellectual label was slapped on it.
00:15:15.940 So it kind of became normalized. But only recently, as you're kind of saying now, has it become
00:15:22.340 mainstream, as bad ideas often do, they seep down from academia, into the mainstream. And now we are
00:15:30.500 seeing, as you're saying, it become kind of this identity that you're not allowed to push back on.
00:15:35.780 And is your argument or from your investigation, are you saying that it went from this kind of
00:15:42.020 esoteric academic idea into the mainstream, through the prevalence of pornography? Like, is that the
00:15:50.340 connector? You know, a lot can and should be said about the role of academia in this. But it's also
00:16:00.260 important to notice that the organizing that has been going on behind the scenes as well, that's been
00:16:07.140 at a more grassroots level. And when I say that, I'm talking about certain societies within the U.S. that
00:16:13.380 were being formed in the 60s and 70s, cross-dressing organizations. So in particular,
00:16:18.900 Virginia Charles Prince is a man who created, well, one publication he created was called Transvestia,
00:16:27.780 but he also created these lobbying organizations that were spreading through across the U.S.
00:16:35.460 And what these organizations were was essentially fetishistic cross-dressing and lobbying politicians
00:16:42.180 to have this normalized into the mainstream. So that was going on towards the end of the 60s,
00:16:47.780 early 70s. And Prince himself, notably, it should be mentioned, he took the tactics of the LGB movement
00:16:58.260 of the time. So he actually kind of piggybacked off of what they were doing,
00:17:02.500 talking, talked about going to their meetings and observing them in order to get their contacts,
00:17:09.220 as he put it. And so I really see what happened through the 60s to 70s as this fetishistic attachment
00:17:19.380 onto a human rights movement. And we're seeing that, unfortunately, again, in my opinion,
00:17:27.460 in a scale that's just unprecedented. Right, right. And I want to hear more about
00:17:35.220 the pornography aspect that you have mentioned here, or that you mentioned a few minutes ago,
00:17:43.340 because you talked about what is referred to, not your term, but I guess just what is referred
00:17:47.780 to online. It's tranny porn. But there's also something that you've written about called sissy porn.
00:17:53.220 And you talk about its prevalence and how it has also affected the normalization of this idea that
00:18:01.060 a man can identify as not just a woman, but a girl. Like that's something that we're seeing on TikTok.
00:18:06.540 There's a very popular TikTok influencer who is a grown man with a five o'clock shadow, who is a who
00:18:12.820 says that he is now experiencing a girl and he is not seen as a creep by people. He is seen as someone
00:18:17.820 that like people applaud and love and will follow. So this is normal. But you're saying some of this
00:18:24.060 came from something called sissy porn. So what the heck is that? And how did that infiltrate into
00:18:29.540 mainstream society? Well, I'm sorry to have to explain this. I know. We've already told people
00:18:37.300 at the beginning that this is like, this is a disturbing and explicit conversation, unfortunately,
00:18:42.520 but I do think it's important to kind of expose just like the darkness that's underneath all of this.
00:18:47.820 So sissy porn is actually a sub genre of a much broader genre, which is called forced
00:18:54.720 feminization pornography that revolves around eroticizing humiliation, particularly of men
00:19:04.880 being humiliated by being turned into metaphorically turned into women by being forced to wear lingerie,
00:19:15.280 put on makeup or take on the submissive sexual role, I guess you could say. So that's a much
00:19:23.260 broader umbrella that has other types of things under it. But so sissy porn falls under that category.
00:19:29.180 And it also has different types. So there are audiophiles, for example, that are just focused on
00:19:35.620 listening. That's called sissy hypno, which it's exactly as it says, it's meant to hypnotize the listener
00:19:42.880 into believing that they actually are a woman through repeated mantras and sexualized dialogue,
00:19:49.680 not even dialogue, it's often monologue, saying things like you are a girl, you always have been
00:19:54.980 a girl, you are a good girl, you're very submissive, things like this. That's the audiophiles. But then
00:20:00.980 there's also things called sissy captions, which are photographs usually of real women in pornography that
00:20:07.960 the man has then written some kind of story along the side of them to go with them. This one's
00:20:14.020 particularly disturbing, in my opinion, because I have seen cases where men have taken photos of
00:20:19.460 children and written things of sexual nature alongside them. So that's disturbing on its own,
00:20:28.860 right? But also the fact that nothing legally can be done to take those images down, even though
00:20:34.440 they're someone else's children. And yeah, so in general, it's just this concept of being forced
00:20:41.200 to be turned into a woman, and then the male viewer finding that arousing. So I've actually been
00:20:47.340 speaking with some men who are trying to give up pornography in general, but also who specifically
00:20:53.460 had an addiction to sissy pornography, which they have described as, you know, weapons grade mind control,
00:21:00.060 they say it's somehow it's even worse, in terms of addiction than than what they would call mainstream
00:21:06.160 pornography, because it has this, this taboo or extreme element to it, and incorporates your lifestyle.
00:21:15.320 So you're then encouraged to start doing these things on your own, such as dressing up, or they even give
00:21:21.900 you challenges that you're supposed to do, such as going out in public to do things. And so the men who
00:21:29.580 have spoken to me, were very honest about all of this and saying that they wanted to quit, but also
00:21:36.640 that, that it's unlike, it's unlike anything that they had ever experienced before, in terms of how
00:21:43.160 it altered their, their perception of themselves. Wow. And so do you think that this has to do with
00:21:50.960 kind of the what seems like the growing prevalence of men suddenly saying when they are adults, like,
00:21:58.420 I mean, men who have been men for several decades, and then they decide that they want to identify
00:22:06.060 as a woman, like, do you think that this type of pornography is affecting that or leading to that
00:22:12.520 in any way? 100%. I don't think it's in 100% of cases, but absolutely, it is having an impact. And I know
00:22:21.700 that because I've actually spoken with some women while I talked to a woman who was in the pornography
00:22:28.020 industry. And she, she spoke about this in particular, the, the sissification aspect, which,
00:22:34.540 you know, really what this is, is, is sadomasochism. So, so just for a moment, let me break that down.
00:22:41.500 So when you have this behavior, this fetishistic behavior, it's, it, that involves a man pretending
00:22:49.480 to be a woman, it's actually the, uh, sexualization of humiliation and the, the thrill in lowering
00:22:57.060 one's status as it were. So that's the masochistic element involved. And like, so the woman's
00:23:02.940 submissiveness that they perceive is attached to the feminine identity. Exactly right. Yeah. So the
00:23:09.760 woman I talked to was sort of in the BDSM scene and she personally witnessed, um, men who were
00:23:16.780 initially involved in, in certain BDSM activities, then declaring themselves to be transgender.
00:23:22.540 So the BDSM-5, um, says that gender dysphoria, true gender dysphoria is the persistent, insistent,
00:23:44.120 consistent feeling of being in the wrong body, of having the wrong gender. And we're simultaneously
00:23:50.700 told by transgender ideologues that a child knows their gender identity at two years old. So if they
00:23:59.340 find, you know, interests that are typical to, um, the other sex, then maybe they're transgender,
00:24:05.080 or if they don't want to wear, you know, dresses and they were born a girl, they might be transgender,
00:24:09.680 but simultaneously we're told it's just as legitimate for someone who has lived as a girl,
00:24:15.880 lived as a boy their whole lives to suddenly, when they're either a teenager or when they're adult,
00:24:20.400 to realize that they really are the opposite sex. Um, do you think in general, not just with men
00:24:27.460 suddenly declaring that as adults, but the entire kind of transgender as adult movement or kind of,
00:24:35.480 uh, popularity has grown. Do you think that has to do with this kind of sissification that we're
00:24:42.360 seeing in pornography or those things connected in general?
00:24:45.200 Well, one problem with this is that it's not being researched. Um, well, that's a big problem
00:24:51.760 with the whole gender identity movement in general, because it's just, you're just supposed to take it
00:24:56.320 at its word and, and it's entirely objective depending on what someone says. But with the
00:25:02.820 sissification, um, I have seen anecdotally stories, for example, of young boys who started
00:25:11.640 looking at this kind of content when they were very young, uh, I mean, young, young, like 11,
00:25:17.900 12, 13, and then that leading down the pathway of being confused about their bodies, their gender,
00:25:24.560 um, you know, sex actually with their sexed bodies. So, um, uh, and that's also another problem is that
00:25:31.820 it's not actually gender, is it? It's got to do with the body. So when we talk about having these
00:25:38.120 feelings of gender dysphoria, what we're actually, or should be discussing is body dysmorphia, the
00:25:44.360 feeling of, of being at illities with your body, um, genders is something else. And, um, I would
00:25:52.300 argue that many people feel illities with gender, but specifically feeling illities with your body and
00:25:59.160 pornography is known to induce that actually. So research has shown that even specifically in,
00:26:07.000 in men, um, feelings of dysmorphia about their genitalia, which is one of the so-called indicators
00:26:12.920 of gender identity disorder. Well, that makes a lot of sense. If you're seeing something that doesn't
00:26:18.080 really match reality, um, and it's distorted in some way, whether it's amplified or someone is playing
00:26:24.340 a role, whatever it is, of course, that is going to affect how you see yourself and how you see
00:26:29.640 yourself in the mirror. I mean, just think about, we've seen studies as well of girls having forms of
00:26:34.380 body dysmorphia when it comes to their facial features, because of the filters that are used
00:26:39.760 on TikTok that are used on Instagram. So if that is true, when it comes to just looking at your face
00:26:44.980 and then being disappointed, when you look at the mirror, think about when it's something as intimate
00:26:49.460 and not just psychological, but physiological and, um, and, and physical as well as looking at
00:27:01.240 pornography, that is going to affect how you see yourself and not just that, not just your body,
00:27:06.400 but also your identity and your entire life. I think people really minimize the impact that
00:27:14.220 pornography has not just on an individual's mind, but then it also has the power to kind of shape
00:27:19.980 society and how a society views sex and so-called gender. And I think you're right. Not enough people
00:27:26.540 are exploring this link. It's taboo. You're seen as prude. You're seen as, you know, anti-fun or anti-sex
00:27:33.460 in general. In order to be sex positive, you have to just say, yay, pornography. Um, but you're really
00:27:38.840 calling out that, I mean, this is having some very serious effects on people's lives.
00:27:44.820 Yeah, it's, it's a bit frustrating too, because even, um, among women I know who, who criticize
00:27:50.620 pornography, this particular issue is not really on the table, you know, and I understand that everyone
00:27:56.640 has to choose their own, uh, fight, I guess, and pick what they're going to stand for. But the, the impact
00:28:04.240 that I believe that this is having on identity is huge and really needs to be talked about more.
00:28:11.160 Um, we, we have seen too, uh, a detransitioner who spoke about this. So Helena had written a post
00:28:17.080 about how Tumblr porn had had an influence on her decision to, well, to declare herself to be a boy,
00:28:24.860 I guess you would say. Um, so it's shaping children's perceptions of who they should be, uh, what they
00:28:33.540 should look like, how they should act, what young girls are supposed to be doing. Um, the, the extreme
00:28:39.740 sexualization involved in pornography that harms girls, girls' self-image. And then they go on to
00:28:45.880 say, I must not really be a girl because I don't want that. I don't want to do that.
00:28:50.560 Mm-hmm. And if anyone doubts that the sexualization and the different subsets of pornography
00:28:58.200 are affecting what the world thinks about transgender ideology, and not only that, but
00:29:03.600 actually the so-called treatments that are giving to, that are given to kids who call themselves
00:29:08.640 transgender, they can learn more about your research into the World Professional Association,
00:29:14.420 uh, for transgender health, which is what I want to talk to you about now. We've kind of gone back and
00:29:20.660 forth about this, um, for a little while, but what you found is really that this organization
00:29:27.700 that is publishing the standards of care for so-called transgender youth, they're getting
00:29:33.220 some of their information, some of their research from like online pornography groups and fetish, uh,
00:29:40.560 fetish groups, right. That are fetishizing the castration of children. Is that correct?
00:29:45.420 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm, unfortunately it is correct. Yeah. Um, so I started to look into this
00:29:51.980 issue around December, uh, when WPATH, let me back up, let me explain what WPATH is for those who don't
00:29:59.380 know, because this is hugely important. And I think we need to start taking our fight to WPATH. We need to
00:30:06.380 shift our focus maybe so much from the politicians and not too much, but we need to start looking at the
00:30:12.520 medical professionals who are at the top, um, in order to then have an influence on the politicians,
00:30:18.280 because in many regards, the politicians are following what WPATH is saying. And so the World
00:30:25.000 Professional Association for Transgender Health recommends certain guidelines and protocols,
00:30:29.640 which are used internationally, including those that involve the transitioning of children.
00:30:35.700 So first of all, that's very important. Um, second of all, the investigation that I did was,
00:30:41.780 I started around December when they announced their new standards of care document. Within that
00:30:47.560 document, they had made a reference to a website that I recognized from my own research, which was
00:30:53.700 called the Eunuch Archive, which is basically a, a, a fetish forum, I guess. So it's, it's where people
00:31:02.780 would post, uh, stories of an extreme sadomasochistic nature that involve castration in particular. Um,
00:31:11.260 and nearly half of the stories on that site involve the castration of children, the sexualizing of the
00:31:18.360 castration of children, torture, snuff, I mean, sexual abuse of, of an extreme graphic detail. It's hard for me to
00:31:27.100 overstate it because, you know, I had to look at some of these things and I, I, it made me feel ill. Um, we're talking
00:31:33.080 about stories about doctors intentionally castrating children in order to keep them in a childlike
00:31:38.800 state. Uh, Nazis, like Nazis are a part of this fantasy and pornography. So these men are reading,
00:31:46.120 depicting stories of Nazis, basically castrating young boys. They're getting off on that.
00:31:51.960 Yes. Yes. Um, and it's all behind a password, uh, protected part of the site, which I was able to
00:32:01.520 get into. So it's quite clear that they know that this content is, I mean, they even warned that it
00:32:07.940 might be illegal in your jurisdiction. So they're based in the U S and unfortunately this type of
00:32:12.700 content is legal. So that was done in a Supreme court decision in 2002 called Ashcroft versus the
00:32:19.260 free speech coalition. So basically the pornography lobby of the U S allowed for this to happen. Um,
00:32:26.000 anyway, the point that I want to make that I want everyone to really understand is that the
00:32:31.260 administrators of this site were selected by W path leaders beginning as early as 2009 to come and speak
00:32:40.240 at their conferences and influence policies and influence standards of care. But not only that to
00:32:46.780 influence the DSM five, so the diagnostic and statistic manual for mental disorders. So these
00:32:53.640 people who are writing these awful stories involving harming children in unspeakable ways, um,
00:33:01.440 specifically castrating them and then having them involved in, in saying what is and isn't a mental
00:33:08.940 disorder. So somewhere around that. And it's not just the castration. I just want to emphasize that
00:33:13.820 these people, many of them are actually pedophiles. The thing that they are also fetishizing is not
00:33:19.240 just the castration and the gender mutilation, but also this idea, which reminds me of something else
00:33:24.960 that you've reported on, um, this idea of a child being frozen in their adolescence. They are also
00:33:32.880 fetishizing that. So once again, we see the link, um, to pedophilia. It reminds me of also what you've said
00:33:40.400 about the guy who came up with the transgender flag, who used to write this kind of pornography and this
00:33:47.980 kind of fantasy of little, of being a little girl and staying a little girl and being frozen in this
00:33:56.400 childlike state. So we're not just talking about one example of a few random people in this eunuch archive
00:34:02.340 being pedophiles and getting off on this kind of stuff. This unfortunately is pretty prevalent when
00:34:07.940 you're looking at the roots of this ideology and movement, as you are also proving in their connection
00:34:13.780 to this mainstream transgender organization. Right. So I want to respond to a couple of things. So the
00:34:20.740 first thing is that I think that this overlap that you're talking about exists because what you have is
00:34:26.000 not so much a transgender umbrella, you have a sadomasochism umbrella and under sadomasochism, uh, anything
00:34:32.160 goes really. And so as I've described before, basically the, the humiliation and the masochistic
00:34:38.520 fetish of the man being reduced to the woman's status, that obviously falls under sadomasochism,
00:34:44.080 um, as does pedophilia. So they're, they're in the same family, I guess you could say. Uh, that's why
00:34:52.600 the overlap is so prevalent. And that's why the overlap will always be there and it cannot be removed.
00:34:58.800 Um, it just goes, you know, the fetishism goes further and further, um, tends to escalate over
00:35:04.860 time anyway. Um, but the other thing I wanted to say before we move to the trans flag is again,
00:35:12.720 I just really think it's so important to, to say that W path was involved in this. I proved it. Uh,
00:35:19.980 anyone who's curious to know more about that can look at the reports that I did for Redux. Um,
00:35:25.060 there's two of them and I named some of the academics who were behind this website. Um,
00:35:29.960 I actually personally got an email from one of them that was quite angry, but also confirmed what
00:35:35.940 I was saying. Um, so it's, it's, it's crucial that people not look this over or think it's too
00:35:44.520 shocking to talk about because we need to bring this to the front door of W path and we need to do
00:35:50.260 something about this. Um, but I will go on to talk about the trans flag now. So, well, no, let's,
00:35:56.340 let's talk about this a little bit more deeply. I know I kind of took us off on a tangent there,
00:36:00.180 but I do want to make sure as you're saying that people really understand what's going on here.
00:36:04.140 And I want to ask some specific questions about this. Um, who is Dr. Krister Hill doll
00:36:10.320 will let, how is he connected to all this?
00:36:13.400 Okay. So I have two articles that I wrote about this and in the first one I named Krister Willett
00:36:21.920 and then in the other, I was able to name two other academics. So in total three. So Willett is
00:36:28.500 one of three academics who are main site administrators for the UNIC archive, uh, and have
00:36:36.860 been for over 20 years. Now, this website was initially hosted on an extreme body modification
00:36:47.200 pornography site that was called BME and it was hosted in Canada. So these men actually were, uh,
00:36:55.900 well, I can say at least one of them was speaking with the host of the BME site and then he was hosting
00:37:03.280 the UNIC archive and then on it, um, various, um, various pornographic content related to genital
00:37:08.980 mutilation. Um, then they launched their own site to, to use the written stories, uh, to collect the
00:37:17.000 written stories. Sorry. And Willett is one of them. Willett has been involved with the website for over
00:37:22.420 20 years and he was there at the very beginning. The other one is Dr. Tom Johnson and the other is
00:37:29.300 Richard Wassersag. Um, Johnson is an academic in California and Wassersag is from Canada or was a
00:37:37.240 professor in Canada, I should say. Anyway, so these three men were involved in taking research
00:37:43.840 surveys that they specifically conducted with members and participants of the fetish forum,
00:37:49.000 the UNIC archive. They took that research and presented it at WPATH conferences beginning in 2009.
00:37:56.160 So the first one was a conference in Oslo. This conference, by the way, is the one that is where
00:38:04.040 the decision was made to change gender identity from a disorder to, to dysphoria. It was this conference
00:38:12.340 in Oslo in 2009 that that happened and they were in attendance there. So I think that that's really
00:38:18.460 important. And then as I mentioned, uh, Johnson, the, the academic from California, uh, had a hand in
00:38:26.040 editing the DSM five. And what about Eli Coleman? He is also an academic. He is, from my understanding,
00:38:32.120 a professor at the university of Minnesota. He's also connected to this.
00:38:37.600 Right. So the UNIC archive members have a meetup every year and they have been for nearly 20 years
00:38:44.340 now. And Eli Coleman is based in Minneapolis where they hold their gatherings. Uh, Eli Coleman was a
00:38:51.400 former president of WPATH and was the lead, uh, lead executive chair on drafting the new standards
00:39:00.360 of care document. And he specifically reached out to Tom Johnson, the academic I'd mentioned previously
00:39:07.620 in order to help him devise these new standards of care. So there is an obvious and stated connection
00:39:15.340 between the two of them working together. Uh, I don't know exactly how long that connection has been
00:39:20.740 going on. I know it must be since at least 2016. I would probably put it earlier at somewhere around
00:39:26.260 2009 when they first attended the Oslo conference. And WPATH also just announced recently that hormones
00:39:35.040 could be started for kids who apparently identify as transgender, even younger than before age 14,
00:39:41.700 rather than age 15 or 17. Obviously that's disturbing for a whole host of ethical reasons,
00:39:47.080 but understanding where they are getting some of their inspiration and direction from the very
00:39:51.480 people who fetishize, um, the kind of freezing in time of adolescence, which is exactly what puberty
00:39:58.920 walkers do. That's exactly what in some cases these cross-sex hormones do. Understanding that they are
00:40:04.500 getting their direction from the people who are actually getting off on that kind of thing. I mean,
00:40:09.200 that is just disturbing beyond words.
00:40:10.940 It is. Yeah. I mean, I don't really know what to say that I, I've, I've actually seen on Twitter
00:40:17.860 when I was looking into the sissy porn stuff, sorry, but, um, I actually saw
00:40:24.200 kind of CSA that was posted there, um, referencing puberty blockers, which Twitter was very quick to
00:40:34.140 take that down when I reported it, but that's good. That's, that is good. But in general, they're not,
00:40:40.840 usually. So no, no, they're absolutely not. And I just am thinking about how difficult it probably
00:40:46.720 was for your mind and for your heart to kind of have to inundate yourself with all of this
00:40:52.160 disturbing darkness. I think we like to think that this kind of stuff doesn't exist. And, and wow,
00:40:57.620 when you think about the fact that this whole thing has been attached to LGB and it's just been
00:41:04.580 added onto the rainbow, like without any kind of critical thinking or consideration, I mean,
00:41:09.180 you've got all of these mainstream corporations that are just kind of adding it on to pride and
00:41:16.020 are just accepting this idea that it's this irreversible identity, that there's nothing fishy
00:41:20.680 about it. And there's no kind of questions that you can ask about it. I mean, that is some pretty
00:41:26.520 successful to, for a lack of a better term, marketing and work on the side of transgender
00:41:33.580 activism. It's, it's, I mean, it's happened so fast. It almost makes your head spin. Even in all
00:41:38.700 of your explanations of this, it's still hard for me to understand how in just the last five to 10 years,
00:41:44.920 it has become so mainstream and so accepted and so taboo to ask the questions that you're asking,
00:41:53.520 which is simply, where did this come from and what is pushing it?
00:41:57.160 Hmm. Yeah, there, there has been a lot of things going on behind the scenes, uh, as well that we
00:42:05.120 haven't been seeing in the public eye, lots of mobilizing. Um, I did want to mention that, you
00:42:11.700 know, I see this as something of a parallel between the sort of movements that were happening in the
00:42:16.380 sixties and seventies that you had mentioned before of, uh, for example, the push to normalize
00:42:21.640 pedophilia, because that was also something that was going on, uh, kind of behind the scenes with
00:42:27.600 these, these special interest groups that they organized very well. And that was before the
00:42:32.740 internet, you know, you've got to imagine that the capability to organize has just been, um,
00:42:38.900 heightened exponentially recently. And I have started looking into the history of, for example,
00:42:45.700 Usenet. So Usenet being a sort of closed forum of what we would consider early social media. And then
00:42:53.420 there are extreme fetish groups there that have been organizing, um, as well. I I I'm exploring that
00:43:00.940 avenue because I strongly suspect that some of the early organizing was going on through Usenet. And,
00:43:08.860 um, well, when you have a group of people who have a shared interest in, in, in predatory interest,
00:43:15.260 they, they tend to work very hard to get what they want.
00:43:29.940 I mean, it's kind of hard to deny that this is happening when you're seeing some of the
00:43:34.520 recent stories, um, that have come out that you've been reporting on. I mean, there are some
00:43:40.160 terrible and just such disturbing examples that you, um, have talked about recently. One of them
00:43:46.540 headline from Redux, which is sadistic killer with a blood fetish transferred to New Jersey
00:43:51.840 women's prison. Um, he's a male convict. He admitted to killing a prostitute woman to satisfy
00:43:58.280 a blood fetish. He has now identified himself as transgender and is in the Edna Mahan women's
00:44:05.160 correctional facility in New Jersey. I mean, this is just proof of what you're talking about,
00:44:09.500 that this is BDSM. Like this is a fetish. This is a sexualization. It's really not about someone's
00:44:17.220 identity or their struggle with gender dysphoria. This is about for a lot of people. I'm not saying
00:44:24.420 everyone. Of course, there is a small percentage of people who truly have always had gender dysphoria
00:44:28.960 who are not in the category that we're talking about. But for a large percentage of people that
00:44:33.780 too many people don't want to talk about, I mean, this is about predation. So tell me a little bit
00:44:38.140 more about this story and stories like it. So this story, actually, I kind of stumbled upon when I was
00:44:45.540 looking through the inmates currently at Edna Mahan, because I was speaking to some of the women
00:44:51.040 there. And, uh, it's quite shocking, I know, but I mean, just the fact that no media will touch it.
00:44:56.900 Uh, so this man, he, he killed an Ecuadorian immigrant woman named Flora Andrade. Um,
00:45:05.500 as he, he boasted about drinking her blood, he actually wrote a letter to a newspaper to boast
00:45:11.060 about it. And, uh, specifically this, this for me, it was really shocking that he took her clothing,
00:45:19.660 put on her clothing, took her car. He was found arrested wearing her clothing and driving her car
00:45:25.240 and had taken his own photograph and placed it over hers on his ID as if he was taking her soul or
00:45:32.520 her identity. Um, I mean, that's like the silence of the lamps. I mean, that's as horrifying as you
00:45:39.780 can even imagine. Yes. Yes. I mean, when, when we talk about it, again, things that used to be well
00:45:48.660 known have become taboo. I mean, it has been known that, that certain sadomasochistic fetishes lead to
00:45:55.100 criminal behavior, to violent criminal behavior. We knew that any decent sexologist or criminologist
00:46:00.760 30 years ago could tell you that. Um, I mean, there's a reason why silence of the lamps was
00:46:05.680 even made because it was a based on at least two, uh, such men who actually existed. So, um,
00:46:13.140 the, the, these men, when it comes to the fetishists, when it comes to the fetishists,
00:46:19.040 these men can actually possibly be even more dangerous to women than, um, you're a typical
00:46:25.660 male offender. And then, so now you're having these women in New Jersey being forced to share
00:46:31.860 spaces. Um, but not only the fetishes, I mean, it's open to anybody right now. So you just have,
00:46:38.960 for example, I spoke with a woman who was being forced to shower with a convicted male killer who
00:46:43.540 was 6.7, a huge guy. And he's just in there in the shower watching women, ogling them and making
00:46:51.060 him sexual crimes. And he's there for murder, by the way. He's there for murder of a man as well,
00:46:56.120 which, you know, so he could kill a man. And then he's now being allowed to shower with women.
00:47:03.820 And these women, just to like put a fine point on it, these women are being forced to shower,
00:47:09.880 shower to be naked. And I mean, many of these women have also experienced sexual trauma already.
00:47:16.060 So they've already been raped by men. They've already been assaulted by men. And many of them
00:47:20.000 are victims of violence themselves, even if they are also perpetrators of other kinds of violence.
00:47:24.000 And they are being forced to shower, to be naked in front of a male murderer who is standing there,
00:47:32.160 ogling them. It's some, it's like a sick joke for these women.
00:47:34.860 That's, that's kind of exactly how Myseka put it. So when I spoke to a woman named Myseka Diggs,
00:47:42.480 and she said, it's like a nightmare we can't wake up from. She said, you know, it's like I'm being
00:47:47.600 traumatized over and over again. We all are. Some 80% of these women have an experience with
00:47:54.140 male sexual violence and abuse. So they're, they're being re-traumatized. It's quite a bit like
00:48:01.580 torture, I would say. Yes. I believe this even violates the Geneva Convention. So it's, it's
00:48:07.700 international law should, ought to consider this a human rights violation. I mean, even the U.S. law.
00:48:16.880 So the Eighth Amendment is supposed to protect from cruel and unusual punishment. I mean, how cruel
00:48:23.160 and unusual is this. Yes. I mean, that is a known, a known form of shame and of torture,
00:48:31.980 forcing a woman to be naked in front of men. That is a form of humiliation. And I think what
00:48:37.760 you have well documented is that is actually part of what these men are getting off on,
00:48:43.040 is the humiliation, either the forced submission of themselves or the forced submission of other
00:48:47.520 people, which again, goes back to exactly what you're talking about. It's also under the umbrella,
00:48:52.980 of BDSM. And wow, how sick and how perverted that this has somehow, that this has somehow been
00:49:01.740 co-op, or this has somehow been taken in and adopted as this form of love and inclusion and
00:49:07.400 tolerance and something to be celebrated when at every turn it is victimizing people. It's victimizing
00:49:13.780 women, not just in scenarios like this, but it's victimizing children through the online predation that
00:49:18.360 you're talking about and also convincing them to lop off their healthy sexual organs when they are
00:49:22.960 15 years old. I mean, this is creating victims. It is not leading to a form of liberation.
00:49:32.460 Regarding the BDSM, so in some extreme BDSM circles, it's very common. Well, I shouldn't say
00:49:39.700 because I don't know how common it is, but it's been documented that amputations have been done for
00:49:45.440 fetishistic reasons. So it's intended to show submission to the master. And so when you put that
00:49:51.480 in the context of double mastectomies for little girls, it quite frankly infuriates me. And that
00:49:59.100 this is being done to children, essentially to normalize these behaviors that are sexual for
00:50:06.760 certain men, that children and women should be the collateral damage in this push, and quite infuriates
00:50:14.980 me. And I think it's something that we need to talk about more. I know people have their own angles
00:50:18.900 when they discuss this issue. They might talk about, for example, the money that's involved. They
00:50:23.240 might talk about the damage to someone's health. But because no one else had been talking about this,
00:50:29.020 I decided to look into the fetishistic aspect of it. And frankly, what I found, it just keeps
00:50:35.180 confirming everything that I think. And ultimately, I have come to the conclusion that this is, you know,
00:50:40.860 BDSM full-time, as a full-time identity. I mean, I've even read personal's ads that explicitly said
00:50:48.140 this, that, you know, I want to live out my 24-7 BDSM fantasy with someone.
00:50:56.480 And I'm sure that for some of these people, they probably experienced abuse of their own in the
00:51:04.580 past. It's kind of, I think, a pattern or a history that we see when people are abused as children.
00:51:10.100 They kind of turn around and become abusers. Of course, that's not any kind of excuse or
00:51:14.220 justification whatsoever. It just shows kind of the damage of cycles of abuse, and they become
00:51:19.440 abusers themselves. And then, of course, when you're pushed into this, as you said, there are
00:51:25.180 so many different aspects of it. But when you have psychologists who aren't even willing to ask
00:51:29.280 these questions, like, is there something else going on here? Is there something that is making you
00:51:34.620 feel like you need to have this surgery, or that you need to take these hormones, or that you need to
00:51:39.900 identify in this way? And then, of course, the pharmaceutical companies that make a lot of
00:51:44.440 money off of this, and the politicians that get a lot of power from this. I mean, there are so many
00:51:49.720 different aspects, like you said, but I don't actually see really anyone wanting to touch the
00:51:55.040 sexual aspect of it. It seems like that is the most taboo part. But I also, I want to also talk about,
00:52:01.960 we were talking about this as it relates to prisons. And you talked about a prison in New Jersey.
00:52:09.020 This is also happening in Washington. It's also happening in California. And the Women's Liberation
00:52:14.860 Front, I know that you're familiar with them. They're known as Wolf. And they filed a lawsuit
00:52:21.740 last year, November 2021, on behalf of four incarcerated women challenging the California law
00:52:26.740 that allows men to self-identify as women are non-binary, be housed in women's facilities. And
00:52:32.580 they have been opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union, so ACLU and other advocacy groups,
00:52:41.920 because they, of course, are being demonized as bigoted. And they have faced all kinds of opposition.
00:52:50.960 And they have had a hard time even maintaining a platform online. They have actually had to use a
00:52:56.700 server that is owned by like a conservative Christian group, which is kind of ironic.
00:53:01.760 And so tell me, I mean, tell me your take on that. I don't know if you have any special insight into
00:53:06.000 that story, but just so people kind of know what's going on here.
00:53:10.880 Well, you mentioned ACLU, and I do kind of want to talk about that, right? So ACLU has been trying to
00:53:16.860 block Wolf, as you mentioned, in their lawsuit. So initially, I believe Wolf had filed for a freedom
00:53:22.800 of information request to see how many men were actually in the women's prison. And the ACLU attempted
00:53:28.700 to block that. Now, the ACLU, where to begin? In my opinion, they're no longer fit for purpose. And
00:53:36.240 they need to, there needs to be a huge overhaul within the entire ACLU, because they're not doing
00:53:42.200 anything for, in my opinion, they're not doing any good right now, that they're fighting for
00:53:47.880 the rights of these men that I've just mentioned to be transferred into women's prisons. That has
00:53:53.360 been their main fight in recent years. And they have been successfully lobbying to have convicted
00:54:02.460 violent men housed with women. How? I don't know. It's just that all of these institutions are so
00:54:09.740 beholden to this belief system right now. But that's been their main drive. They haven't quite
00:54:16.340 so much been focusing on other issues as much as they have that from where I'm sitting. And so
00:54:21.920 obviously, we see that when they tried to block Wolf as well. It's hard to know where to begin with
00:54:28.180 that, because, you know, you had an organization that's ostensibly set up to be helping people.
00:54:33.200 And the people that they're helping are prioritizing. I mean, what about the discomfort of
00:54:39.280 women? You know, we talk about a lot about the discomfort of these men who may have a hard
00:54:45.700 time in the men's prison, although technically, a lot of these men, I strongly suspect, are not
00:54:52.120 actually having any kind of body dysmorphia whatsoever. Right. But what about the discomfort
00:54:57.480 of women? Why? Why isn't that a priority for nearly anyone? And the physical safety, it goes beyond
00:55:05.540 if I had to choose, even if a man really did have dysmorphia, and we had to choose between his
00:55:11.640 discomfort with his own body and the physical safety of the woman in prison, I'm going to go
00:55:15.560 with the physical safety of the woman in prison. You know, so even if it was real discomfort, which
00:55:20.080 as you said, I think it's not in a lot of cases, still, there's priorities. And why don't women's
00:55:27.880 physical safety, why doesn't that matter more? I mean, in all these cases, when it comes to locker
00:55:32.540 rooms, when it comes to sports, why don't women's not just their rights in general to fairness and
00:55:38.320 to fair competition and to equality and all of that, but why don't our rights to physical safety
00:55:44.140 matter more than what a man says that he wants? I mean, I guess that's the question that a lot of
00:55:50.660 feminists have been asking for a very long time. That's the million dollar question. Yes.
00:55:56.200 It's kind of depressing when you put it like that. Right. So on May 31st, Wolf submitted a brief
00:56:02.060 in opposition to California's motion to dismiss the civil rights case opposing the California law
00:56:08.380 that allows male offenders into female prisons. And some things that they said were, I mean,
00:56:12.840 and this is just, again, it just seems like a parody, a really dark parody. The men that are
00:56:17.760 transferred to women's prisons are not even required to take hormones or have surgery. So
00:56:22.540 we're talking like, I'm sorry, again, explicit, but you're talking about a man who can physically
00:56:28.340 like rape a woman. It's not like he has been neutered in any way by hormones or by surgery
00:56:34.200 or anything. And right before this motion was filed, another female inmate was raped in prison.
00:56:38.740 So this actually happened. This is not some like hypothetical scenario, raped in prison by a male
00:56:43.520 inmate in the yard port-a-potty while another male accomplice stood guard outside. I mean,
00:56:49.120 if this doesn't make you just want to, oh my gosh, she was drugged and found unresponsive in her cell.
00:56:56.160 The rapist was not immediately removed from the yard, despite a number of women pleading with
00:57:01.920 the staff to do something. I mean, how do you, how do you describe this? What's your reaction to that?
00:57:11.340 I mean, with this, with this, you have horror after horror every day, almost. It seems like, you know,
00:57:19.020 why the extent to which it's so taboo to talk about this, that even a story like this isn't getting
00:57:29.540 really mainstream traction, of course not. Why is everyone so scared to stand up against this?
00:57:37.980 You know, women are being hurt terribly.
00:57:43.180 I guess I would say that it is a bit frustrating. I understand, but it's a bit frustrating for me that the
00:57:49.720 sports issue is the issue that's really taken hold in the public consciousness at the moment, because it's
00:57:55.660 something that we can all see. We see it in front of our eyes. We're told to deny the reality that we see in front
00:58:01.640 of us, for example, with Leah Thomas. And so these women in prison who are the most marginalized, I would
00:58:09.680 say, women in the entire country, are hidden from public view. And what happens to them, I mean, they,
00:58:17.240 even if they complain, they get put into lockup, they get put, which is basically isolation.
00:58:23.120 So if they say anything against this policy, then they are punished. And often, at least with the women
00:58:30.160 in New Jersey that I'm speaking with, they say that these men get certain priorities over women.
00:58:34.980 They get their own cell, you know, so they're very specifically being privileged over the women
00:58:43.240 within the facility. And they'll even say to the women that they can't say anything about it,
00:58:48.740 or else they'll be in trouble. So they brag about that.
00:59:00.160 I mean, as you said earlier, cruel and unusual punishment in so many different ways. And we are
00:59:09.500 seeing the prioritization of men's comfort over women's physical safety in so many different
00:59:14.800 areas, not just prisons, but also women's shelters, and also girls' bathrooms and girls' locker rooms.
00:59:20.300 And as I've heard Megan Murphy say before and ask such a good and disturbing question, as I'm sure you
00:59:26.440 have, like, what kind of man enjoys that? Like, what kind of man enjoys making a woman or a girl
00:59:31.800 uncomfortable? Like that spa, I think it was We Spa in LA, where this man, he, I guess, identified as the
00:59:39.580 opposite gender, and he was walking around erect in front of, like, minor girls. Someone who truly has
00:59:47.060 body dysphoria or gender dysphoria, who is truly uncomfortable in your body, and you want to be the
00:59:52.120 opposite sex. That is not a characteristic of true gender dysphoria. That is not a characteristic of
00:59:57.980 being uncomfortable in your body. That is a characteristic of someone who gets off on making
01:00:02.760 women feel uncomfortable. Like, as you mentioned earlier, we've always known that. Like, there are men
01:00:07.000 who, perverts, who like that kind of thing, who have been flashers, who have been sexual harassers,
01:00:13.000 and now they get to jump under the umbrella of transgender, and now they're an oppressed class
01:00:20.180 instead of an oppressor class. Now they are marginalized instead of just, like, a straight
01:00:25.060 white male who likes to harass women. And because of that, because of how they've climbed up the
01:00:30.980 intersectionality scale, just by way of declaration, their wants take priority over the needs of women.
01:00:39.280 And it's crazy how people just don't see that.
01:00:41.260 Yep. The white male rapist has more clout than the underprivileged women in prison who are victims
01:00:50.620 of sexual abuse. Isn't that something? It's crazy how that works.
01:00:53.940 Crazy how that works. I heard the story. I'm sure you saw it too. I first saw it was on Taylor Silverman,
01:00:59.780 who is a female skateboarder. It was on her Instagram, and now I'm seeing that it's reported
01:01:03.440 elsewhere that male skateboarders are being able to, you know, they identify as the opposite gender,
01:01:10.100 and then they are able to compete against female skateboarders. But it's not just that. I saw this New York
01:01:15.040 Post article that showed a 30-year-old, or 29, I think, a 29-year-old male who identifies as a woman
01:01:23.020 was in competition a few days ago against not other, just other female skateboarders, but 10- and 13-year-old
01:01:30.220 girls. So guess who won? Like, it was him. Of course he won the competition. And the poor girl who came in
01:01:35.960 second place, who is 13 years old, so more than half his age, you know, less than half his age,
01:01:44.620 is saying, oh, I don't mind. You know, I want to be inclusive. I want to love everyone. Of course
01:01:48.680 this little girl is going to say that. She doesn't want to be bullied online. She doesn't want to be
01:01:52.880 called a transphobe. Who knows that? No one asked the 10-year-old little girl for comment. But
01:01:58.240 seriously, I mean, the people online, people on Twitter defending this guy and saying, oh, you know,
01:02:03.640 what advantage does he have over these people? You know, I can't, seriously saying that they can't
01:02:08.540 imagine what advantage this man would have over a 10-year-old girl in skateboarding. So I wonder
01:02:14.820 if you ever think that people's minds have just become mush over this subject. Like, what do you
01:02:19.860 think the mass delusion is that has come over people's brains that they just refuse to see reality
01:02:25.400 here? I'm not going to lie. Of course, I think that's sometimes what happened. This is insane. But I think
01:02:33.020 part of it too is definitely technology and social media. I know that this probably gets talked about
01:02:39.480 a lot or maybe there's a tendency to over hyperbolize the importance of this. But I really
01:02:48.200 think it is crucial because, you know, social media, technical, well, just think about the fact that
01:02:53.340 we're interacting right now through a device with each other. So we're already kind of separated from
01:02:58.100 our own reality. Does that make sense? So we already have all of these things between us that
01:03:02.580 are separating us from reality. So it's not quite so much of a leap to go a little bit further.
01:03:07.500 And then you have people on social media who are using the hive mind or the echo chamber,
01:03:13.400 whatever you want to call it, but basically peer pressure. And the power of human deniability
01:03:19.280 actually is quite strong, much stronger than I would have thought before I got involved in all of this.
01:03:24.780 I used to think, well, surely if people are presented with the truth or with facts,
01:03:33.420 then they would come around. And I'm starting to wonder about that, having seen all of this. But
01:03:40.620 that's why we have to keep talking about it. And, you know, again, I just wanted to reiterate the
01:03:45.980 importance of, you know, the reason why I'm doing this is because I'm concerned about children,
01:03:50.000 the medical abuse of children. You know, I myself, I grew up with epilepsy and I was recommended for
01:03:56.760 lobotomy at around 11 years old. And thankfully, my father intervened on my behalf. So that was
01:04:05.140 happening that recently in the United States? Well, yes, technically, lobotomy can be considered
01:04:11.800 a treatment for epilepsy that doesn't respond to drugs. And it's very rare, but I was not responding
01:04:19.940 well to the medication, which one of those medications was made by the same company that
01:04:26.340 makes Lupron, which is the hybrid blockers for children and has its own scandal that's called
01:04:31.540 Depakote. So anyway, so I myself went through a lot of medical interventions or medical things that
01:04:41.280 I didn't feel comfortable with, things that were scary for me, things that caused me to dissociate
01:04:45.780 or depersonalize from my body. And so the issue of children, you know, it resonates with me very
01:04:52.780 strongly when I listen to the voices of detransitioners, which we should, I think, all be
01:04:57.740 trying to amplify more and more because there will be a lawsuit coming. And the sooner the better. So
01:05:03.320 we need to get ahead of that and get behind these children and support them and be ready for that
01:05:09.120 lawsuit. And one way we can do that is by looking at WPath and criticizing WPath, who has been
01:05:16.260 recommending these protocols. Yes. And I know that we're about to close out, but I realized that we
01:05:21.660 never circled back to the man who identifies as Monica Hogue, who came up with the transgender flag.
01:05:30.180 And I've always pointed out how I think it's so weird that the transgender flag is baby colors,
01:05:34.240 like baby blue and baby pink. That in itself to me is creepy. But could you just tell us quickly,
01:05:39.120 who this person is and how they came up with this flag and why that matters?
01:05:46.260 So, right. So Monica Helms, he goes by and then his birth name, Robert Hogue. Hogue, I'm not sure
01:05:53.480 how to pronounce it. But yeah, so he's an army veteran. He's in the Navy. Sorry, he was in the Navy.
01:06:00.260 Um, and he, I read his memoir, which is called more than just a flag. And he very openly talks about
01:06:07.120 his, uh, fetishes in that book. It's, it's quite something I don't necessarily recommend it, but he
01:06:14.960 spends a great deal of time talking about wanting to lose his virginity, for example, um, and stealing
01:06:21.120 women's underwear. Um, just astonishing. So again, a fetish. Right. I wondered too, why don't people
01:06:30.660 know who created the trans flag? That's what got me interested in this. Like we should be talking
01:06:35.220 about this person more if they're so influential that they even have an emoji of the trans flag.
01:06:39.180 And yet no one knows his name. No one knows anything about him. As far as I can tell, not
01:06:44.340 anyone's read his memoir apart from me. It's, I can't find anybody anyway. So he, he also had a
01:06:50.440 book of, uh, science fiction short stories, which are basically light versions of the forced
01:06:56.840 feminization erotica, um, that I was telling you about. And that involves themes too, of like age
01:07:02.300 regression. And I'm not kidding. If you go to Amazon right now and you type in TG age regression,
01:07:08.420 you're going to see some stuff. So he, he, uh, he wrote this fantasy about marrying a little girl
01:07:16.300 who doesn't age. Um, she's a witch. Apparently this is her superpower. And then they have a daughter
01:07:23.180 together who looks like him and has that same power. So it's this, this weird projection of,
01:07:31.700 I mean, it's pedophilia, it's pedophilia. So the person who created the transgender flag,
01:07:40.260 which happens to be baby colors also wrote pedophile pornography, basically a pedophile fantasy.
01:07:49.420 There's just, there's, there's so much, there's so much more that I could talk to you about. Just,
01:07:53.260 I just want to list like a couple of things that you've reported on. There was, there's this man
01:07:57.820 who is a convicted toddler rapist, who is now an award winning trans activist who goes by Zena
01:08:05.840 Grandicelli born Jeffrey Wilsey. There was also this terrible story that you wrote about, about, uh,
01:08:13.940 a toddler, a toddler killer who, Oh, I read about that murder and I won't even say it on here. How
01:08:19.200 awful it is. You reported on this, um, in May named Christopher King. He has been transferred now
01:08:27.780 to the women's prison in New York because he suddenly decided that he is transgender. So
01:08:33.880 all of what you're talking about and the roots of where it's coming from and what's underneath it,
01:08:38.940 I mean, that is affecting policy. And that is then in a, in, in turn affecting, especially women
01:08:46.800 and children. I mean, uh, I, I think we haven't even scratched the surface, or at least in this
01:08:53.680 conversation, we haven't even scratched the surface of just the depths of depravity.
01:08:57.780 That are behind all of this. Um, so just to kind of close us out, um, besides like following you
01:09:03.660 and supporting you, which I really, really encourage people to do, like, what can people
01:09:08.080 do who care about this and who want to sound the alarm about this and want to do something
01:09:11.920 about this, but they just feel totally powerless. What do people do?
01:09:16.340 Uh, so I would guess the first thing is to talk with other people. Um, one of the problems with this
01:09:23.040 issues, people often feel alone or that they're going crazy, that nobody is thinking the same way
01:09:29.760 that they are or seeing the same things that they are. So trying to talk about it, um, for those who
01:09:36.100 can, um, get involved with your school, uh, try, we really need to try to fight back against this being
01:09:43.560 in the school system as well. But for, for those who, who have, you know, maybe a more legal mind,
01:09:51.040 I would try to encourage you to, to find ways to support detransitioners or to, to be prepared for
01:09:58.860 a medical lawsuit that I, I mean, just this week, we saw a boy in, in the UK who's suing the NHS, uh,
01:10:06.900 over this, uh, surgery that he was, he felt forced into or pushed into. So, I mean, that's coming and,
01:10:14.380 uh, we need to be ready for it. But I guess the biggest thing that most of us could do is just to
01:10:21.320 keep talking about it. And, you know, for my part, I try to keep highlighting the aspects of it that are
01:10:27.580 really grim and difficult to look at because I know that people tend to not want to talk about the,
01:10:33.320 the fetish aspect. It's very uncomfortable. It's very squeamish and, um, very, very unpleasant. Uh,
01:10:40.440 but, um, it's there. So we got to do something about it.
01:10:46.180 Yeah, we do. And I just, I mean, this is a, a Christian podcast. And I think like one of the
01:10:51.460 most disheartening things for me is to see people who I know, or they say that they have the same
01:10:57.240 belief system as I do. Christianity is very clear about the existence of male and female.
01:11:03.460 They really don't want to talk about this because people, and not just Christians, but so many
01:11:07.740 people have been convinced that in order to be loving, in order to not be a bigot, which no one
01:11:11.640 wants to be, you just kind of have to go along to get along. You just kind of have to accept every
01:11:16.680 new iteration of sexuality and identity in order to be a loving person. And I'm so thankful for people
01:11:23.840 like you who just kind of put the brakes on that and say, hang on, like, we need to look under the hood
01:11:28.860 here. We need to look at what's really going on. And I agree. The more you talk about it,
01:11:33.180 the more you lift the hood, the more you look at the atrocities that are going on in the name of this
01:11:37.620 ideology. I do. I just hope and pray that people wake up to the reality of how dark this is. So
01:11:43.040 thank you for what you do. Where can people find you and support you?
01:11:48.000 So I'm on Twitter at Women Read Women, and you can support our work. So Redux is,
01:11:55.700 our funding comes from our readers. So if you're willing to support us, we do have a Patreon account
01:12:02.100 where you can subscribe. And we sent out weekly newsletters about some of the work that we've
01:12:07.380 been doing. And we're always looking for stories. So if you have something you want to say,
01:12:12.460 you can contact us through our website, reduxwith2xs.info.
01:12:18.720 Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to come on. Please come back anytime. I know
01:12:23.740 that there's a lot that we didn't get to cover today. Anytime you have a new story or a new
01:12:27.120 investigation, we would love to amplify it as much as possible. So thank you so much.
01:12:32.260 Great. Thank you for having me, Ellie.
01:12:33.600 All right. I just want to do a quick outro because I want to remind you all as you are
01:12:41.280 listening to this and realizing just how dark and awful this is that our presidential administration
01:12:47.100 in the United States is pushing this stuff hardcore. The Biden administration, the USDA,
01:12:53.320 under the direction of the Biden administration is withholding, is withholding food funding for poor
01:13:00.860 children if the schools that receive this kind of funding do not allow boys into girls' locker rooms
01:13:10.580 and bathrooms. And so the Biden administration is forcing this kind of stuff. They're pushing this
01:13:15.120 kind of stuff. Also, they have changed Title IX to mean not just banning discrimination on the basis of
01:13:24.800 sex, but also banning discrimination on the basis of so-called gender identity, making it impossible
01:13:32.340 for any kind of public entity to ban males from female sports or female locker rooms or female
01:13:41.980 bathrooms. And so they're pushing this stuff. They're forcing this kind of stuff. They are negating
01:13:47.420 biological categories and saying that if you declare yourself to be a woman, then again,
01:13:54.040 your comfort and your wishes trump a woman's right to fairness or to safety or to privacy. I mean,
01:14:00.660 it really is some kind of sick joke. It's some kind of dystopian nightmare that we are living in when it
01:14:07.120 comes to this stuff. And again, as I just kind of alluded to with Genevieve, I just do not understand.
01:14:13.040 I cannot understand besides them being just completely deluded with the spirit of the age,
01:14:18.100 professing Christians who tiptoe around this, who pretend that, oh, we just need to be polite
01:14:22.560 about it. It's just a nuanced topic that we don't really need to talk about. Once again, just like on
01:14:27.440 the abortion issue, you are failing to do your job. Like you're failing to do your job as a Christian,
01:14:32.400 which is not just to speak the truth in love. And this is the most basic truth there is. It's all the
01:14:36.500 way in Genesis 127 that God made us male and female. But also you are failing to act in love.
01:14:42.680 You're failing to protect women and children. And both scenarios, by the way, when it comes to
01:14:46.720 abortion and when it comes to gender ideology, like what are you good for? Just like giving
01:14:51.460 these so-called nuanced takes on Twitter about how we need to walk the line on everything. And
01:14:56.100 apparently the Bible is clear on absolutely nothing. According to these people, they're cowardly and
01:15:01.700 people are being hurt because of that. If just every single Christian, not even talking about the
01:15:06.400 general public, if just every single Christian would stand up against this stuff and be clear about it
01:15:11.100 and push for a good policy that recognizes not just biblical, not just morality, but also reality,
01:15:18.880 then we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in. But because so many Christians have been deluded into
01:15:23.900 thinking that empathy means accepting all forms of irrationality and all forms of immorality and all
01:15:30.540 forms of anarchy, we are in this terrible state of depravity and people are being hurt because of that.
01:15:37.040 So let this be your wake-up call. First of all, stop voting for these people if you are for some
01:15:42.580 reason. But also stop believing that politeness is what is required for you as a Christian. It's not.
01:15:50.480 Truth is. Courage is. Obedience to God is. And obedience to God is going to look like resistance to
01:15:56.040 this absurdity. All right. That's all I've got for you today. We will see you back here on Monday.
01:16:01.740 I hope you have a great weekend.
