Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 800 ｜ Anthropologie： Women’s Clothes for Men

00:00:00.000 Trans activists are losing their minds over state legislation that is protecting kids from body mutilating procedures and medications that are being given to them in the name of so-called gender affirmation.

00:00:13.300 And then other states are passing legislation to become havens for these kinds of terrifying procedures.

00:00:22.240 So there's good news and there's bad news when it comes to the kinds of laws that states are passing.

00:00:26.420 We're also going to talk about that NYC subway rider that died after being put in a headlock during an outburst on the train and the different reactions to that.

00:00:37.060 And then, of course, we're going to talk about anthropology.

00:00:39.460 What the heck?

00:00:40.520 Using a man to model their female clothing. 0.99

00:00:44.300 What in the world?

00:00:45.080 We've got a lot to get through today.

00:00:56.420 Hey, guys.

00:01:04.180 Welcome to Relatable.

00:01:05.400 Happy Thursday.

00:01:06.440 We've almost made it through this week.

00:01:08.180 Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo.

00:01:10.520 That's exciting.

00:01:11.560 I don't know if you and your loved ones celebrate wherever you are, but you should have at least a quesadilla or something to mark the day tomorrow.

00:01:19.220 I'm a little under the weather.

00:01:20.800 I just got like a little cold.

00:01:22.300 I don't even feel bad.

00:01:23.260 So maybe it's just allergies, but if you hear that I sound more nasally than usual, then that is why.

00:01:31.040 All right.

00:01:31.580 We've got a lot to get through today because the last two days, they've been interviews, and so I haven't been able to get through all the news that I want to get through.

00:01:38.880 I will try to get through them as quickly as possible.

00:01:41.280 I probably won't because knowing myself and my history, it's basically impossible to do that.

00:01:47.840 But, okay, first, let's talk about the story that everyone's talking about on Twitter this morning.

00:01:52.180 We didn't even plan to talk about it.

00:01:53.940 It wasn't part of the original rundown, but because I just know so many of you are going to ask me, what about this story?

00:01:59.920 What do you think about it?

00:02:01.020 I wanted to go ahead and give you a little bit of a rundown about this man, 30-year-old man, Jordan Neely, who was killed during an outburst that he was having on the New York City subway.

00:02:14.220 The reason why it's become a big deal is not only was he killed, but also he was a homeless person.

00:02:22.200 He apparently was ranting and raving about not having any food, not having any shelter.

00:02:27.000 He was put in a headlock by a white man.

00:02:29.980 So people are calling this a lynching.

00:02:32.200 People are calling this racism.

00:02:34.500 And there are protests.

00:02:35.700 If we have pictures of that and you're watching on YouTube, we can put that out there.

00:02:39.460 There are protests outside the NYC subway saying that this is racism going unchecked in New York City.

00:02:45.820 That's the reason why this black homeless person was killed. 1.00

00:02:49.920 But, of course, there is more to the story. 0.72

00:02:52.900 So let's back up a little bit.

00:02:54.440 This is according to the New York Post.

00:02:56.360 On Monday, a 30-year-old man, Jordan Neely, was put in a headlock when he began acting erratically and making threats to passengers on the subway just before 2.30 p.m.

00:03:03.940 The man was shouting on the F train that he was hungry and thirsty but did not attack anyone before he was placed in a chokehold.

00:03:09.900 He had, however, started to throw garbage at fellow commuters, according to freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vasquez, who was there.

00:03:17.320 He said, I don't have food.

00:03:18.460 I don't have a drink.

00:03:19.480 I'm fed up.

00:03:20.500 I don't mind going to jail and getting life in prison. 0.89

00:03:23.840 I'm ready to die, which is obviously very sad.

00:03:27.520 Now, I will say there are a lot of resources in New York City for those who do not have resources, those who do not have a home, who don't have shelter, who don't have food, who don't have anything to drink.

00:03:38.220 There are a lot of places, thankfully, that provide that kind of thing.

00:03:42.200 There's also a lot of government help.

00:03:44.760 That's why there are so many homeless people who are in those kind of city centers in New York, because there are so many resources for him.

00:03:53.660 Obviously, this guy has some mental health problems.

00:03:56.280 He has had numerous past arrests.

00:03:59.800 According to Newsweek, 42 prior arrests for offenses, including assault.

00:04:05.640 It's pretty serious.

00:04:06.800 Disorderly conduct and fair evasion.

00:04:09.600 At the time of his death, he had a warrant out for his arrest in a November 2021 case where he was accused of assaulting a 67-year-old woman in the East Village.

00:04:20.600 The man, he's 24 years old, who put Neely in the chokehold.

00:04:25.360 Apparently, he's a Marine veteran.

00:04:27.520 He was taken into custody.

00:04:29.140 He was later released without any charges.

00:04:32.620 The city medical examiner did say that Neely died due to compression of the neck.

00:04:40.500 And the death is being investigated.

00:04:43.980 Of course, people are saying that this was a murder.

00:04:46.880 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a relatable fave.

00:04:50.600 Tweeted, Jordan Neely was murdered, but because Jordan was houseless and crying for food at a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself, while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected with passive headlines and no charges.

00:05:05.340 It's disgusting.

00:05:06.960 Obviously, there's something there's something wrong and inconsistent about this take, because the real failure here, the real failure here is the criminal justice system in New York,

00:05:16.620 which didn't do anything about this person, who has 42 prior arrests.

00:05:21.220 Now, maybe he has some mental health problems.

00:05:23.560 Maybe the underlying issue here is poverty.

00:05:26.880 But look, for someone to be arrested and released 42 times, wouldn't you say that that's a problem?

00:05:33.700 That's not compassion for Jordan Neely.

00:05:35.820 That's not compassion to his victims.

00:05:37.580 That's not compassion for the innocent people of New York.

00:05:41.060 Look, that is a broken criminal justice system.

00:05:43.640 Does that sound like a criminal justice system in New York City that is militarizing itself, according to AOC, that is actually taking law enforcement seriously?

00:05:53.160 No, that means that we have a we have a very sick problem in the United States, especially in these major cities, with how we deal with crime, how we deal with those who need help.

00:06:04.100 Maybe he needed mental health help, but however he was treated, he did need to be separated from the rest of society so that he was not constantly harassing and assaulting innocent people so that they can't live their lives peacefully.

00:06:24.160 Now, all that to say, does that mean that he deserved the death penalty from this person who put him in a chokehold?

00:06:31.980 No, I'm not saying that.

00:06:33.340 I'm not an advocate of vigilante justice.

00:06:36.520 Now, if this was a case of self-defense, and we don't really know, I guarantee there's going to be more footage, more facts that come out here.

00:06:45.040 But if he was really threatening violence, if he was putting this guy who put him in a chokehold or the innocent people around him in imminent physical danger, then this wasn't vigilantism.

00:06:57.080 This was a form of self-defense.

00:07:00.460 But citizens should never have to be put in a position to have to protect themselves and the people around them in this way when it's so clear that law enforcement and the system in New York City have failed.

00:07:13.060 They have failed to actually protect their innocent citizens from someone who is known to be a serial, violent criminal.

00:07:23.440 Now, pertaining to the charge of racism, that this was a lynching, that this happened because he was black and this white person was just looking to inflict violence upon a black person.

00:07:37.720 And there's obviously no evidence of that.

00:07:41.000 And actually, if you will put up, we'll put up a still.

00:07:43.520 I don't know if we can actually play the video because YouTube might, you know, give us a strike for that or they might say, no, you can't do that because it's violence.

00:07:52.120 But we can put up a picture that we have, which is a screenshot of the video that shows all of the people who are holding him down.

00:07:59.660 And what you'll see is that there is a variety of ethnicity going on here.

00:08:03.320 You've got black people that are restraining him. 1.00

00:08:05.800 You've got a white man that's restraining him. 0.98

00:08:08.180 Like this is a multicultural effort to try to restrain this black man. 0.99

00:08:12.920 And so, of course, because the media likes to stoke this kind of revision, they like the race wars, they like the racial resentment, the media really likes black people angry at white people. 0.53

00:08:26.440 They really like to stoke that kind of fear, that kind of suspicion of underlying and constant white supremacy.

00:08:33.460 They will focus on the fact that there was a white man among the many people restraining him that put him in a chokehold.

00:08:40.080 The fact of the matter is there were many people responsible for this.

00:08:43.440 Again, I'm not defending the actions because I just don't know the proper context.

00:08:47.520 And I don't think a disproportionate reaction to someone who is maybe just verbally harassing people is the right way to go.

00:08:54.600 I am in favor of law enforcement actually doing something.

00:08:57.500 But look, places like New York have become so chaotic and so violent.

00:09:02.000 And I think people have kind of thrown up their hands in despair in a lot of in a lot of ways because they don't actually trust the system to be able to protect them from violence and from threats that unfortunately you're going to see more situations like this.

00:09:18.460 And the only person, the only people that are being demonized are the people who ended up assaulting and very sadly and tragically killing this guy.

00:09:28.780 Again, I'm not saying that's right.

00:09:30.880 But look, there are a lot of different factors that led up to this moment that played into this.

00:09:35.660 And like I said, you've got a bunch of protesters outside F train apparently saying, you know, this is so awful.

00:09:43.200 We're protesting this.

00:09:44.940 Yeah, it is awful that this guy died.

00:09:47.060 But there have been multiple murders in the subway that these people did not protest.

00:09:51.640 There have been other assaults, other terrible incidents that have happened where people similar to Jordan Neely, people probably with mental health issues, people on drugs, just criminals, violent people pushing innocent people and children in front of trains, assaulting people, pulling knives out, harassing people, intimidating people with violence.

00:10:14.380 I mean, there's been all kinds of incidents that have basically gone unchecked on the subway and no one was protesting for that.

00:10:22.800 But again, this is just an opportunity for the left wing media to stoke racial resentment and to stoke that kind of division and hatred that doesn't have to be there. 0.89

00:10:34.140 It's not actually relevant to the story at all just to get people active, just to get people again to keep pushing this narrative that white supremacy is the problem, that white violence against black people is pervasive.

00:10:46.880 It's not.

00:10:47.640 It's not even common statistically.

00:10:50.380 As we've said many times, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, it is much more likely for a white person to be killed by a black person than vice versa.

00:10:59.300 Despite black people only accounting for a small percentage of the population.

00:11:05.600 Now, most violence is between white people and white people, black people and black people, Hispanic people and Hispanic people, intraracial violence.

00:11:12.820 But if you want to look at statistics, like if we're going to fear monger and say that one kind of violence is a big, pervasive problem, well, then we're going to have to actually look at the numbers and to see what's more statistically likely.

00:11:27.140 White violence, white violence, white murder against a black person is not statistically likely at all comparatively.

00:11:34.120 And so I just don't think it's helpful.

00:11:36.580 I don't think it's truthful.

00:11:38.180 I don't think it's just or compassionate or wise to turn this in to a racial story.

00:11:44.660 The only thing that does is divide and bring apart and bring down and it does nothing to edify and it doesn't paint.

00:11:55.380 It doesn't paint the whole picture and actually it distracts us from the real problems that led to something like this, which is a lack of proper tools, mechanisms in place to be able to prevent crime, to protect innocent communities from people who commit crimes.

00:12:12.600 So that people don't go out and commit vigilante justice, which I think is bad and not something that is going to help society ultimately.

00:12:24.120 The system, in a lot of ways, failed in this case.

00:12:28.100 They failed Jordan Neely.

00:12:29.440 They failed the people on the subway.

00:12:30.960 They're failing the people of New York City.

00:12:33.100 And only now are people like AOC and others getting up in arms about what happened.

00:12:38.300 Well, there's a lot of things that could have happened over the years, over the course of his 42 to 44 arrests that could have prevented something like this.

00:12:47.500 It's really sad.

00:12:48.560 I mean, this is an image bearer of God.

00:12:50.720 This is, it's sad that he died, especially that he died in this way.

00:12:55.380 This is, this is something that we can mourn over without jumping on a narrative that is not truthful and is not righteous and is not compassionate.

00:13:08.300 All right, let's move on to Texas where there's other chaos going on.

00:13:19.980 So Texas is considering Senate Bill 14 right now, which would prohibit doctors from providing so-called, this is according to the Dallas Morning News, this is the language they use, gender affirming treatments like puberty blockers.

00:13:34.020 Now, if that is, there is no more Orwellian phrase than that, gender affirming treatments like puberty blockers. 0.75

00:13:42.760 So you are stopping a natural process in the body in order to affirm someone's gender.

00:13:50.300 Try explaining that to someone from like 10 years ago.

00:13:53.980 Puberty blockers in children, a natural, necessary process that the body, that the mind has to go through for normal, healthy maturation.

00:14:04.460 This is something that we are allowing to happen for children.

00:14:09.260 And Dallas Morning News is calling it gender affirming.

00:14:12.700 Look, if you're actually affirming someone's gender, you don't block their puberty to do that.

00:14:17.900 But of course, they have a different definition of gender than sane people do.

00:14:21.320 Gender apparently is something that you just come up with in your mind and not something that your body dictates at all.

00:14:27.440 Hormone therapy, they say, or surgery intended to transition the biological sex of any child under the age of 18.

00:14:34.640 All of this is nonsense.

00:14:37.300 You can't transition your sex. 0.99

00:14:39.340 Can't transition your gender either. 0.95

00:14:41.380 Those words are actually interchangeable.

00:14:45.320 You can't transition your biology.

00:14:47.440 Nothing's going to change your gametes.

00:14:49.180 Nothing's going to change your DNA.

00:14:51.320 You can change different parts of your body to appear to be a certain way.

00:14:56.960 But even then, it's usually not very successful, especially if you're a man trying to look like a woman. 0.93

00:15:03.580 But here's what the bill says.

00:15:04.980 Senate Bill 14 in the Texas State Legislature.

00:15:07.920 For the purpose of transitioning a child's biological sex, as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child, or affirming the child's perception of the child's sex, if that perception is inconsistent with the child's biological sex, a physician or healthcare provider may not knowingly perform a surgery that sterilizes the child, including castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy.

00:15:29.240 I don't even know all these words.

00:15:31.980 I don't know all these words.

00:16:01.980 And that just means a level of testosterone that would not be normal in the female body. 0.96

00:16:08.340 You can't give that level of testosterone to a female or an undue dose of estrogen to a male.

00:16:15.200 And number four, remove any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue.

00:16:20.040 Duh.

00:16:20.680 Duh.

00:16:21.020 You can't do that for children.

00:16:22.200 I'm sorry.

00:16:22.660 You can't give a minor double mastectomy because she's confused about her gender. 1.00

00:16:27.020 She probably is on the autism spectrum. 0.96

00:16:29.280 She probably is bipolar. 0.95

00:16:30.900 She's probably been sexually assaulted. 1.00

00:16:32.960 She probably has an eating disorder. 1.00

00:16:34.620 She probably has body dysmorphia. 1.00

00:16:36.980 You are not helping her by taking off healthy body parts because she says that she's the opposite sex. 1.00

00:16:43.120 Address the underlying issues if you really care about anything other than lining your pockets.

00:16:49.840 I mean, really, the state legislators, the state legislators shouldn't have to do this.

00:16:55.020 They shouldn't have to do this.

00:16:56.720 This should violate the Hippocratic oath.

00:17:00.540 Do no harm.

00:17:01.980 No doctor should be even willing to do this just ethically and morally.

00:17:07.440 But because there are so many doctors who have given into this ideology, who are scared of the political pressure, they're scared of the left-wing activists, and because many of them just don't care.

00:17:18.200 They just don't have any moral qualms with it because it makes them rich.

00:17:22.240 And it even gives them virtue points at this point.

00:17:27.000 They'll just go along with it.

00:17:28.380 And so, yes, it is the role of the state to say, OK, doctors, you can't do this.

00:17:33.320 You are going to be criminally liable if you butcher children.

00:17:38.200 Of course, this is logical.

00:17:41.660 Transgender rights activists filled the gallery at the Texas Capitol where they were debating this and chanted, protect trans kids.

00:17:50.960 There's no such thing as a trans kid. 1.00

00:17:52.620 Let me just say that.

00:17:53.240 There's no such thing as a trans kid. 1.00

00:17:54.400 There is a kid who may be confused about their gender or who has been told that they're confused about their gender.

00:18:00.840 But there's no such thing as a trans kid. 0.52

00:18:03.060 And we're here.

00:18:03.880 We're queer.

00:18:04.500 We won't disappear to disrupt proceedings.

00:18:06.880 So the officers cleared the gallery of protesters.

00:18:09.600 Here's what some of those beautiful protesters looked like. 0.61

00:18:13.060 Protect trans kids.

00:18:14.820 Protect trans kids. 1.00

00:18:16.740 Get the f*** out of me. 1.00

00:18:17.720 Get the f*** out of me. 1.00

00:18:19.860 You can go. 1.00

00:18:20.860 Protect trans kids.

00:18:22.180 Protect trans kids.

00:18:24.620 Protect trans kids.

00:18:26.640 Protect trans kids.

00:18:28.700 Protect trans kids.

00:18:31.780 Oh man, there's a lot going on there.

00:18:34.520 You know, they always look like that.

00:18:37.640 I was trying to look up.

00:18:40.040 Do you remember in C.S. Lewis's Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe when he is describing the witch's army?

00:18:47.100 He's describing Jadis' army.

00:18:49.340 And then he's describing Aslan's army.

00:18:52.820 And what they looked like, what Jadis' army looked like compared to Aslan's army, it always reminds me of these kinds of left-wing protesters. 0.83

00:19:03.840 Who I'm not saying that they naturally are ugly people.

00:19:08.260 I'm not even talking about their facial structure, their bone structure, anything like that.

00:19:13.540 But how they have morphed themselves to look, how they have tattooed their body, pierced their body, changed their hair, the kind of clothes that they wear, sometimes to look like the opposite sex or to look not like a normal human. 0.96

00:19:27.600 It's so grotesque, like it's so dark, it's so clearly demonic that every time I see them, I'm like, it reminds me of the ghouls and the goblins that are described by C.S. Lewis in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

00:19:40.240 They don't only look like that, but they seem to be possessed in some way.

00:19:46.440 And I don't call everyone who is evil demon-possessed because I think those are different categories.

00:19:51.760 Now, we understand from Ephesians 2 that you are either under the authority of Satan, the prince of the power of the air, or you have been bought by grace through faith in Christ.

00:20:02.640 So you're either an enemy of God or a friend of God, whether you have been reconciled to God through Christ.

00:20:11.080 And so that is a reality.

00:20:12.280 So I don't know if these people are actually demon-possessed or if they are just evil, like if they are just playing the part of the enemy's army.

00:20:22.800 Either way, like there is a rabidity to these people.

00:20:26.420 They are almost literally, like if you're watching that on YouTube, they're almost foaming at the mouth.

00:20:31.360 And of course, when you just stop to consider what they are actually advocating for, they are angry that it is illegal, will be illegal to butcher the body of a minor, to render them permanently sterile because they're confused about their gender.

00:20:49.180 Now, what they will say is that this is killing kids.

00:20:52.360 This is causing suicide in kids when there is no, no objective data proving that.

00:20:58.220 Actually, the best data that we have shows that most kids grow out of any perceived confusion or real confusion that they might have about their gender after puberty.

00:21:08.460 And isn't that better?

00:21:10.360 Like, why would we want a kid to be confused about their gender and to maim their body and to pause puberty? 0.74

00:21:18.100 All the people who say that pausing puberty or going on cross-sex hormones or even just socially transitioning, that it's harmless, that it's temporary, that is not true.

00:21:26.820 You do not, we don't even know all of the physical, physiological, and psychological consequences that that has on a young person who is actually being forced to not mature in a normal way.

00:21:41.020 And again, like I will ask you, and you can look at some of the people that were protesting there, and like I would say that this probably applies to some of the people that you saw there.

00:21:50.880 Again, I will ask what category of person, what kind of person benefits from or likes the idea of kids being trapped in perpetual adolescence by putting off their puberty?

00:22:07.020 Because that's what happens.

00:22:10.480 Like, if you put off your puberty, okay, then your body, does it grow, does it mature, does it form the same way that it would if you went through that natural and good puberty process?

00:22:22.480 You look like a child for much longer, and you also think and act like a child for much longer.

00:22:27.880 Now, what kind of person likes that?

00:22:30.680 What kind of person likes that delayed maturation?

00:22:35.300 What kind of person likes the idea of there being masses of children who don't go through puberty?

00:22:43.380 What kind of person likes prepubescent children and likes to talk about all of the procedures and all of the things that have to do with their genitalia and sexuality and identity?

00:22:57.560 It's not a coincidence that we keep seeing some overlap there, right?

00:23:03.720 So, Texas legislators, stay strong.

00:23:06.040 You are unequivocally, objectively, on the right side of this.

00:23:09.160 You are on the side of truth.

00:23:10.180 You are on the side of justice.

00:23:11.380 You are on the side of beauty.

00:23:12.380 You are on the side of goodness, period.

00:23:15.940 In no world should this be legal.

00:23:18.680 So, it's sad that we even need, again, legislation on this.

00:23:22.440 And the people on the other side of this issue are deluded.

00:23:24.760 They are completely and totally deluded and depraved.

00:23:28.140 It's Romans 1 made manifest. 0.92

00:23:30.400 And to just prove, again, that this crossover that we tend to see between absolute sexual perversion and this kind of identity madness is not coincidental.

00:23:43.580 That is actually very consistent and persistent.

00:23:46.120 We'll move on to our next story, which is in the state of Minnesota.

00:23:49.960 All right, let's look at the state of Minnesota.

00:24:05.740 So, on Thursday, April 27th, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed legislation, the Trans Refuge Act,

00:24:12.500 that makes the state a haven for those seeking abortions or gender, quote-unquote, transitions.

00:24:19.280 It also allows for the courts to seize emergency custody over a child if he slash she is prevented from receiving, quote-unquote, gender-affirming care.

00:24:29.780 So, I mean, this really just builds off of the conversation that we had on Tuesday with the woman who was trying to adopt in the state of Oregon.

00:24:38.040 And she was told, sorry, you can't unless you say that one day you will go along with cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers for a potential child that you adopt.

00:24:46.540 So, it's more important to make sure that kids are orphans.

00:24:50.900 It's more important that, or rather, I would say, it's more important to these liberal states that these children are able to mutilate their bodies than it is for them to have a safe and secure home.

00:25:06.100 They would rather them be orphans than to stay in a home that doesn't agree with the maiming of bodies of kids who say that they're confused.

00:25:14.540 It's really, really sick.

00:25:16.180 And again, like, I just want to ask, how can a Christian vote Democrat? 0.89

00:25:20.080 How can you?

00:25:21.580 Even if you're like, yeah, but guns.

00:25:24.320 Yeah, but immigration.

00:25:25.720 Yeah, but welfare.

00:25:27.300 I'm sorry, these things are too stark.

00:25:29.860 The position on gender that the Democrat Party has.

00:25:33.400 The position on abortion that the Democrat Party has.

00:25:36.060 That's it.

00:25:37.060 No, there's nothing that you can tell me that would justify a Christian voting for this party.

00:25:43.080 Now, you might say, you know what, I can't vote for Republicans either, or I just can't vote.

00:25:49.000 Okay, like, I can tolerate those positions.

00:25:51.500 I don't agree with you necessarily, but okay, that's fine.

00:25:55.800 Or you want to vote third party, or you want to write in.

00:25:58.600 Okay, we can have that discussion.

00:26:00.620 I think that's a reasonable discussion and debate to have.

00:26:03.740 Again, that's not the path I go down, but I get that.

00:26:06.340 I do not understand how a Christian can vote Democrat. 0.97

00:26:10.340 There is no justification for it.

00:26:13.180 You are perpetuating this kind of sickness and depravity, and Satan is cheering every step of the way.

00:26:20.800 So, let's go.

00:26:21.760 This is not even the worst of this.

00:26:22.980 This is not even the worst of this.

00:26:26.180 Before this bill was signed, the law recognized only abandonment and abuses grounds for a court taking custody of a child.

00:26:31.220 But this bill, as a third category, the child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health.

00:26:35.660 Do you hear that, parents?

00:26:36.660 In the state of Minnesota, if you decide that you don't want your child to go on puberty blockers because they decided on their anime-obsessed subreddit that they were the opposite sex,

00:26:49.740 then you get your child taken away from you, and they go into the system where they will receive all of these body-mutilating hormones and surgeries.

00:27:00.920 And who will be there holding their hand when they figure out that they've made a huge mistake and that they no longer want to live?

00:27:08.160 It won't be you, parent.

00:27:10.240 It'll actually be no one because the state doesn't care about them.

00:27:13.520 These social workers don't care about them. 1.00

00:27:15.400 These doctors don't care about them. 1.00

00:27:17.260 They just want the money.

00:27:18.680 They just want the accolades.

00:27:20.420 They just want the activism points.

00:27:23.120 They don't care about your child. 0.92

00:27:25.320 If their child goes through this, it's permanently sterile.

00:27:27.860 If your child goes through this and wants to commit suicide, they won't shed a tear.

00:27:31.760 It's evil.

00:27:32.780 You can't vote for these people.

00:27:34.100 You can't.

00:27:35.280 Okay, but here's a part of this.

00:27:36.660 The proposed pedophilia protection that is a part of this.

00:27:39.820 The Minnesota state legislature is also considering a proposed bill that makes updates to the current Minnesota Human Rights Act legitimizing pedophilia.

00:27:48.720 So the current Human Rights Act protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation defined as having or being perceived as having emotional, physical, or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or having or being perceived as having an orientation for such attachment or having or being perceived as having a self-image or identity,

00:28:05.720 not traditionally associated with one's biological maleness or femaleness.

00:28:10.320 The current law also includes the caveat sexual orientation does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.

00:28:18.280 So it's basically saying, look, we're talking about all different kinds of sexual orientations, however many you want to say that there is.

00:28:23.340 But we are not talking about pedophilia.

00:28:26.080 That's what the current Minnesota Human Rights Act says.

00:28:28.520 But the Take Pride Act was authored by Rep.

00:28:33.000 Lee Fink, who is a man who thinks he's a woman and identifies as a woman.

00:28:37.860 He proposed this bill that creates a new separate definition for gender identity.

00:28:43.620 Gender identity means a person's inherent sense of being a man, woman, both or neither.

00:28:47.800 A person's gender identity may or may not correspond to their assigned sex at birth or their primary or secondary sex characteristics.

00:28:54.460 A person's gender identity is not necessarily visible to the other.

00:28:57.240 So it's saying you can't be discriminated against because you're a man who thinks that he's a woman in a variety of contexts in the state of Minnesota.

00:29:04.880 That's problematic enough.

00:29:06.600 That's problematic enough because you should be able to say, sorry, we're a domestic abuse shelter.

00:29:12.420 You man that thinks that you're a woman, you're not going to be allowed in here. 1.00

00:29:15.960 That should absolutely be legal.

00:29:18.160 But that's not even the most troubling part of this.

00:29:20.260 Also in his bill, he proposes removing the clause in the Minnesota Human Rights Act that says sexual orientation does not include physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.

00:29:33.680 You hear that?

00:29:35.200 So he's removing that.

00:29:36.800 He's saying, yes, that actually is a sexual orientation.

00:29:40.340 An adult being attracted to a child that should be protected under human rights law.

00:29:47.500 This so-called transgender representative in the state of Minnesota.

00:29:52.040 He defended the measure to Fox News and said that the measure updates outdated language that incorrectly ties pedophilia to a person's sexual orientation, which is not true.

00:30:01.240 Nothing that the bill changes or weakens any crimes against children or the state's ability, he says, to prosecute those who break the law.

00:30:06.700 Of course, pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, Fink says.

00:30:09.780 The language never should have been included in the statutory definition in the first place.

00:30:13.640 Crimes against children are located in Minnesota's criminal statutes.

00:30:17.060 They remain unchanged.

00:30:20.100 But of course, this is a cover.

00:30:23.080 Why would he touch this?

00:30:24.980 Why would he say anything about this at all?

00:30:28.040 Why would he want to remove this?

00:30:29.620 This just makes it explicitly clear that pedophilia is not a sexual orientation that is protected.

00:30:36.940 And he wants to remove that.

00:30:38.720 I think that that's a story.

00:30:41.820 If he didn't want any suspicion of creepiness or predation, he shouldn't have said anything about that.

00:30:47.540 By the way, Lee Fink was named one of USA Today's 2023 Women of the Year in March.

00:30:53.140 We'll put up a picture of Sweet Lee.

00:30:55.680 Um, so that's what's happening.

00:31:00.140 That's what's happening in the state of Minnesota.

00:31:02.500 But there is some good news.

00:31:03.960 There's some good news that's going on.

00:31:05.640 Okay, so some good news.

00:31:20.860 Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, Indiana, and Idaho are among the most recent states to pass laws that ban these harmful gender procedures on minors and protect sex-specific spaces.

00:31:31.640 Yes and amen!

00:31:32.300 Again, another reason not to be confused about, like, which party is at least more in line with righteousness and truth.

00:31:40.260 Not completely.

00:31:40.980 Neither one ever will be.

00:31:42.160 But it's really not hard, guys.

00:31:43.480 Like, it's not that complicated.

00:31:45.420 So on Monday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law in a bill 613, banning so-called gender-affirming care for minors with the possibility of a felony charge for health care professionals who provide it.

00:31:57.100 BAM effective immediately, the ban prohibits surgeries, puberty-blocking medication, and hormone treatments for those under the age of 18.

00:32:04.040 Praise God!

00:32:04.780 Also last week, Kansas legislators enacted what the AP calls the most sweeping transgender bathroom law in the U.S.

00:32:11.140 by overriding Democratic Governor Laura Kelly's veto with a two-thirds majority.

00:32:16.540 Woo! 0.99

00:32:17.200 The law will take effect July 1st.

00:32:20.080 SB 180 legally defines male and female based on the sex assigned at birth.

00:32:24.420 I hate that language, but I get what they're trying to do.

00:32:27.240 A sign to birth and protect separate spaces based on the sex of an individual.

00:32:31.500 The law specifically names athletics prisons or other detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, locker rooms, restrooms, and other areas where biology, safety, or privacy are implicated.

00:32:42.020 I'm sorry.

00:32:42.600 A man doesn't want to go into a rape crisis center for any innocuous reason.

00:32:47.820 You just don't.

00:32:49.620 We have to be able to protect those places.

00:32:51.200 You know, those women are getting raped in prisons in Washington and California because of the gender identity laws there. 1.00

00:32:59.020 Those vulnerable, helpless women are being raped and sometimes impregnated by these violent men who suddenly identify as women and get moved to the women's prison.

00:33:07.940 Yes, it is the job of the state to protect those women. 1.00

00:33:11.600 Absolutely.

00:33:12.960 And for all of you, oh, social justice advocates, criminal justice advocates, what about those women? 0.99

00:33:17.700 Do you care about them?

00:33:18.600 Stop voting Democrat then.

00:33:19.980 The law says there are important governmental objectives to protecting the health, safety, and privacy of individuals in such circumstances.

00:33:28.280 Yes and amen.

00:33:29.080 Two weeks ago, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum signed House Bill 1254 into law preventing so-called gender-affirming procedures for minors.

00:33:37.760 In early April, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Senate Bill 480 into law.

00:33:42.420 And Idaho Governor Brad Little enacted House Bill 71, both banning gender transition procedures for minors.

00:33:49.220 Yes and amen.

00:33:50.560 Good.

00:33:51.340 That's great.

00:33:52.040 I am very thankful for that.

00:33:53.180 And you know what?

00:33:54.280 Don't think that your voice doesn't matter.

00:33:55.900 I know things look dark.

00:33:57.060 I know they look depraved.

00:33:58.240 I know they look helpless.

00:33:59.320 But don't think that your social media posts, that your truthful conversation, that your sermon pastor, that you're standing for truth, that you're attending or speaking at your school board meeting or every single step that you take in the way of what is good and right and true doesn't matter.

00:34:15.840 Don't think that.

00:34:16.640 Don't be misled into thinking that your voice, even if you feel like you're only influencing a small circle of people, doesn't count.

00:34:24.220 It does.

00:34:24.780 It is one brick that is placed in the path to what is good, right, and just and true.

00:34:31.340 You don't know what flap of the butterfly wing you are, but you do know that you are called as a Christian to simply do the next right thing, say the next true thing.

00:34:41.800 That's all we can ever do in private and in public.

00:34:44.780 It matters.

00:34:45.600 It matters.

00:34:47.120 All right.

00:34:47.420 I just want to talk about one last story.

00:34:50.680 It's silly, but it's important.

00:34:54.460 And speaking of like our voices having an impact and like having a say, I do think that our voices could have a say when it comes to anthropology's decision. 0.99

00:35:07.320 To be really stupid and to go along with this radical, crazy, insane agenda that says that men can be women. 0.96

00:35:19.080 So here is the latest post on anthropology's Instagram page as of yesterday. 0.99

00:35:37.320 Okay, I want to first, I want to show like if we can show a still of this man's back.

00:35:58.540 But you're right there, right there.

00:36:01.240 Let me just show you the person that they decided was going to be the model for these dresses.

00:36:06.640 He cannot even zip up the dress in the back.

00:36:09.900 So if you are listening to this, this is a man and he is modeling some of anthropology's clothes.

00:36:17.240 I don't know if he got paid for this or if he just posted it and they reposted it.

00:36:20.680 Either way, they thought, okay, this person is a good model for our clothes.

00:36:23.900 This is a man.

00:36:25.060 He's apparently a ballerina.

00:36:26.760 Incredible dancer.

00:36:27.880 It's nothing about that.

00:36:29.320 I mean, this is very impressive.

00:36:31.340 The little like number that he just did.

00:36:34.200 You know, he could probably be a male model and all of that good stuff.

00:36:38.480 It's not about that.

00:36:39.800 It's not about him not being handsome or anything.

00:36:42.280 It's about the fact that he is a man and he is wearing women's clothes for a women's clothing line.

00:36:48.460 And one of the dresses that he puts on to model, he cannot zip up in the back.

00:36:53.140 If you're listening to this, we did a still of his back.

00:36:56.780 He can't zip up this flapper dress because it is not made.

00:37:00.560 It is not made for men. 0.60

00:37:03.360 It's not because he's overweight.

00:37:05.100 It's not because the dress is too small of a size.

00:37:08.680 It is because he is a man.

00:37:11.640 And the dimensions of a man's chest and shoulders are going to be very different from that of a woman's. 0.99

00:37:18.040 And so he can't zip it up.

00:37:19.440 And here's my question to you, Anthropologie.

00:37:21.660 How often, how often do you choose a female model to model clothing that they cannot fit? 1.00

00:37:31.500 Would you put a woman on display who was wearing a dress that they could not zip up? 1.00

00:37:37.040 Would you put that on your Instagram?

00:37:38.920 Would you put that on your website?

00:37:41.200 A model wearing clothes that she clearly couldn't zip up or couldn't button on the side that was clearly too small for her because it wasn't made for her? 1.00

00:37:47.520 No, you wouldn't make that kind of exception for a woman.

00:37:49.600 And you only make that kind of exception for a man, which shows me actually that you elevate the position of this man wearing women's clothes more than you do a woman wearing women's clothes. 0.53

00:38:00.300 And some people are still asking the question, why would Anthropologie, why would a clothing line like this do this?

00:38:08.000 Don't they know their audience?

00:38:10.140 I mean, they really do.

00:38:11.200 Anthropologie has a very large, I would say, like conservative Christian audience for whatever reason, not audience, but clientele, customer base.

00:38:21.040 And I have been shopping at Anthropologie at least for 15 years.

00:38:25.380 They've taken a lot of my money over the years and not that I thought that they were conservative or aligned with my values in any way.

00:38:32.040 I just thought that they made very unique and beautiful clothes for women that I have bought many, many times over the years.

00:38:40.240 And of course, I still love their clothes and the variety that they that they offer.

00:38:44.760 But now they're telling me that they think that men can be women or that it's OK for men to cross dress.

00:38:51.700 That's their value.

00:38:53.080 And they don't care, by the way.

00:38:54.780 They don't care what I say.

00:38:55.820 They don't care what you say.

00:38:57.140 They don't care about our money.

00:38:58.360 They don't care about losing your business.

00:38:59.980 It's the same thing that Bud Light did.

00:39:02.200 They're trying to change your values.

00:39:04.300 They actually hate your values, Christian conservative.

00:39:06.860 They hate what you think.

00:39:08.300 They actually probably don't even really want your business or they think that they don't want your business.

00:39:16.440 So it's not really that confusing to me anymore.

00:39:20.420 These companies, Nike, all of these companies, they care more about their ESG score.

00:39:27.940 They care more about their score from the human rights campaign.

00:39:31.620 They care more about being called inclusive, tolerant, diverse, pro-LGBTQ, gender, fluid, diverse, whatever, more than they do their bottom line.

00:39:43.260 So I still think it's important for us to make our voice known.

00:39:47.060 They shut off comments, of course.

00:39:48.760 They shut off comments on their Instagram post because they can't take the heat.

00:39:53.940 They post something like that that they know is going to be controversial.

00:39:57.940 And then they're mad when it stirs up controversy.

00:40:00.680 And then it gives them the opportunity to be the victim and to say, oh my goodness, here we are, the martyrs laying down on the altar of inclusion and tolerance when really, no, you just joined in the movement of female erasure. 0.94

00:40:16.400 You think men and women are interchangeable.

00:40:18.640 You actually think that men in some cases apparently make badder women than actual women do.

00:40:24.760 It's not about selling their dresses.

00:40:26.140 Because obviously we're not looking at that dress and thinking, oh yeah, I could see what that would look like on me.

00:40:30.760 And also, when he's spinning around, you see it's freaking ding-a-ling.

00:40:34.360 No one wants to see that on Anthropologie's page.

00:40:37.260 It's weird.

00:40:38.740 Again, this guy is an incredible dancer.

00:40:40.700 You know, very handsome man.

00:40:42.540 He could be a male model.

00:40:44.220 It's not about that.

00:40:45.160 He's a man, though.

00:40:46.340 He shouldn't be wearing women's clothing. 1.00

00:40:48.240 You shouldn't be wearing it on Anthropologie's Instagram page.

00:40:52.500 They shouldn't be platforming that.

00:40:53.940 It's an insult.

00:40:55.060 It's gross.

00:40:55.980 Stop, Anthropologie.

00:40:57.480 Do better.

00:40:59.100 Do better.

00:40:59.900 All right.

00:41:12.920 That's all we've got time for today.

00:41:14.520 Lots of other things to talk about that we're going to put off until next week.

00:41:18.700 I was at San Jose State this week speaking to a group there for Leadership Institute in Turning Point USA.

00:41:26.560 And lots of wonderful students showed up.

00:41:28.380 And we had an amazing dialogue.

00:41:29.860 There were some disagreeing students that I really appreciated.

00:41:33.220 I appreciated their questions.

00:41:34.480 I'll talk more about that.

00:41:35.560 Actually, one of them sent me a rude and sassy message after.

00:41:38.100 I was like, what the heck, dude?

00:41:39.000 We had a civil exchange. 0.99

00:41:40.380 And now you're just annoying.

00:41:41.980 And then we had some protesters outside the event saying things like, how do you spell murder TPUSA?

00:41:49.400 You guys are literally protesting for the dismemberment of babies, but okay.

00:41:55.040 Remember, hearts of stone, brains of mush.

00:41:58.280 And there's no real condemnation that comes from us because we've all been there too, right?

00:42:04.480 Like that is where all of us would be.

00:42:06.040 We would all be that confused and that depraved and that chaotic if it weren't for Christ.

00:42:10.880 And so, yes, there's anger.

00:42:12.800 And I think that there is righteous judgment that goes towards those people.

00:42:15.840 But there's also a lot of like, there's a lot of compassion.

00:42:18.440 They're like sheep without a shepherd.

00:42:19.700 They're people who are totally deluded in their minds, hearts of stone, brains of mush. 0.65

00:42:23.240 We should pray for them.

00:42:24.220 But we should also be completely unashamed and totally strong and sharing truth to them without fear.

00:42:32.380 All right.

00:42:32.720 That's all we've got time for today.

00:42:33.900 We will see you back here on Monday.

00:42:40.880 Good morning.

00:42:46.300 Thank you.
