The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 151 - A Mother Forces Son To Be Transgender - Is it Legal？

00:00:00.000 Today we're going to discuss one of the worst cases of child abuse that I've ever read about in my life,

00:00:04.800 but it's the kind of child abuse that the left celebrates in this country.

00:00:09.280 We're going to discuss that and other subjects now on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:16.640 Well, I just read that Judge Judy made $147 million less.

00:00:22.860 $147 million in a year.

00:00:25.460 Just one year.

00:00:26.740 For hosting a show where every episode involves her yelling at a guy who's getting sued because he stole his neighbor's garden hose or something.

00:00:35.780 I've never actually seen the show.

00:00:36.860 I just assume that's what it is.

00:00:38.320 But I just don't understand.

00:00:40.380 How do you make that kind of money hosting a show that airs at 1.30 p.m. on a Tuesday?

00:00:45.900 I don't understand.

00:00:47.240 But let me just say, she makes $147 million in a year, yet she has never given me even a million dollars.

00:00:56.480 She could give me a million dollars, and it would be like, no, she wouldn't even notice it.

00:01:01.320 And she has never once given me a million dollars, which I just find to be really rude.

00:01:05.700 You ever think about that with, like, really rich people?

00:01:07.800 Think about Bill Gates has so much money that he could easily give me $100 million.

00:01:13.660 He could give me $100 million, and he would never even notice that it was gone.

00:01:17.140 But, yeah, Bill Gates has never once given me $100 million, if you can believe it.

00:01:23.100 I know.

00:01:23.480 It just seems, I mean, it's extremely rude.

00:01:27.700 And this is why we need socialism.

00:01:31.360 All right.

00:01:32.280 I want to talk about something.

00:01:34.960 Well, I don't want to talk about it.

00:01:36.480 It's incredibly horrible.

00:01:40.440 And, in fact, when I first saw this story, my plan was to not talk about it because it's so horrible.

00:01:47.120 It makes me so angry that I don't even know if I can, I don't know what kind of analysis I can really offer because it just, that's how angry it makes me.

00:01:54.720 But maybe you saw this headline on the Daily Wire yesterday.

00:01:58.260 Mom says six-year-old son is transgender.

00:02:02.260 Dad disagrees.

00:02:03.820 Now he might lose his son.

00:02:06.580 So the story goes, a Texas father is fighting for his son in court after pushing back on his ex-wife's claim that their six-year-old is a transgender girl.

00:02:16.120 According to court documents, the young boy only dresses as a girl when he's with his mother, who has enrolled him in first grade as a female named Luna.

00:02:23.780 The father, however, contends that his son consistently chooses to wear boys' clothes, violently refuses to wear girls' clothes at my home, quote-unquote, and identifies as a boy when he's with him.

00:02:36.760 The Federalist reports that the mother has accused the father of child abuse.

00:02:41.700 The mother is accusing the father of child abuse in their divorce proceedings for not affirming James as transgender and is looking to strip the dad of his parental rights.

00:02:52.060 She is also seeking to require him to pay for the child's visit to a transgender-affirming therapist and transgender medical alterations, which may include hormonal sterilization, starting at age eight.

00:03:05.560 The father has been legally barred from speaking to his child about sexuality and gender from a scientific or religious perspective and from dressing his son in boys' clothes.

00:03:14.580 He is legally barred from dressing his son in boys' clothes.

00:03:18.300 He has to offer girls' and boys' outfits for the child to wear.

00:03:21.120 The boy consistently refuses to wear dresses, according to the father.

00:03:25.360 The boy was diagnosed with gender dysphoria by a gender transition therapist.

00:03:32.140 A gender transition therapist decided that the boy has gender dysphoria.

00:03:37.420 You wonder, has this gender transition therapist ever met a child who they would not diagnose as gender dysphoric?

00:03:46.600 And, by the way, the mother is a pediatrician.

00:03:53.740 According to the therapist's notes, the boy chose to identify as a girl when he was in sessions alone with his mother.

00:03:58.940 Alternatively, he chooses to identify as a boy when he is in sessions alone with his father.

00:04:03.940 The Federalist reports a dossier filed with the Dallas court says that under the skilled eyes of a therapist, the child was presented two pieces of paper, one with the word James, one with the word Luna, and asked to pick the name he preferred.

00:04:19.600 When the appointment only included his mother, James selected Luna, the name and gender he uses at his mother's home and in his first grade classroom.

00:04:27.920 When the appointment was only with his father, however, James pointed to the boy named James, not the girl name.

00:04:34.500 Moreover, the father has collected testimony from friends and other people saying that the boy is just a normal boy who likes being a boy.

00:04:42.540 And it goes on from there.

00:04:47.860 I mean, this poor kid.

00:04:51.620 Imagine how confused and scared this poor boy is.

00:04:56.660 I mean, does he even understand what's going on?

00:04:59.660 Of course he doesn't.

00:05:01.380 He's being asked to choose between two alter egos.

00:05:05.120 He's being given a choice between wearing dresses.

00:05:07.960 I mean, this kid has no clue what's going on.

00:05:12.100 He's six years old.

00:05:13.320 He just wants to be a kid. 0.99

00:05:15.580 Yet he's got his mother who is an evil, evil woman. 0.99

00:05:19.200 Let's be clear about that. 1.00

00:05:20.220 This mother is an evil person. 1.00

00:05:23.480 And anyone who defends the mother or agrees with the mother is also an evil person. 0.87

00:05:29.140 So this is not, I know we're supposed to be all into bipartisanship and, you know, we don't judge people for their beliefs and all beliefs are valid and kumbaya, let's come together.

00:05:39.760 No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:05:42.020 If you hear stories like this and you think, oh, yeah, well, that's right.

00:05:45.140 That's, you know, the mother's doing the right thing.

00:05:47.940 Then you're just a bad person. 1.00

00:05:49.420 You're a demented, evil person. 1.00

00:05:50.920 And I want nothing to do with you. 1.00

00:05:52.920 Honestly, I don't respect your beliefs.

00:05:54.880 I don't respect your opinions.

00:05:55.980 Friends, you're completely wrong and I have no respect for you.

00:05:59.940 I just don't.

00:06:01.280 This is so, I told you that, how angry this makes me.

00:06:04.960 How can it not make you angry?

00:06:06.620 They're going to chemically castrate this boy. 0.98

00:06:09.840 At the age of eight, they're going to start castrating him.

00:06:13.700 How can anyone read that and not be filled with anger for the sake of this child?

00:06:20.240 He is being physically, psychologically, emotionally abused, mangled, tortured, destroyed, all to fulfill the perverse, insane desires of the mother.

00:06:34.880 This is easily one of the worst cases of child abuse I have ever read about in my life.

00:06:40.980 Think of, they are going to destroy this kid.

00:06:43.440 They're ruining his life and his body.

00:06:46.940 They're ruining everything about him.

00:06:51.440 In a sane or a just society, this mother would be in prison forever. 1.00

00:06:57.960 Lifetime sentence.

00:06:59.400 That's what she deserves.

00:07:01.580 I draw no distinction between this mother and any of the other horrible child abusers that you might read about.

00:07:11.840 This is horrendously, unimaginably evil.

00:07:18.340 Now, there are three other thoughts that come to mind after reading this.

00:07:25.900 Well, more than that, but I have to control myself.

00:07:28.540 I can't say everything. 0.99

00:07:29.360 I can't tell you everything I really think about this woman, this mother, this horrible, disgusting, monstrous woman. 0.99

00:07:35.200 Because if I did, well, I just, I can't, I can't say it all. 0.99

00:07:38.940 So I'm going to move past that.

00:07:40.280 But here's what comes to mind.

00:07:41.640 First of all, what we're seeing here in real time, this is what makes it just so terrifying, just so demented and disturbing,

00:07:51.260 is we're seeing in real time how mental illness is being instilled, implanted into the mind of a child.

00:08:00.040 He is, the mother is trying to force the child to be mentally ill, and he's resisting.

00:08:09.800 He doesn't want it.

00:08:11.120 But how long can a child resist?

00:08:12.860 He has no idea what's going on.

00:08:14.980 How long can a six-year-old withstand this?

00:08:19.480 He's trying to resist, but at what point does the child say, fine, I'm just going to wear the dress.

00:08:24.640 I guess mommy really thinks I need to wear dresses, so I guess I should just wear the dress.

00:08:29.000 Because mommy really thinks that I'm a girl, so I guess I'm a girl.

00:08:32.000 Mommy really wants me to take this drug that's going to, you know, make me not a boy anymore, so I guess I just need to do it.

00:08:39.580 I mean, it sounds like the boy is still at the point of resisting, but at a certain point, you know, no child can resist forever.

00:08:49.540 At a certain point, he's going to be, when he's being manipulated and exploited like this, eventually it's going to sink in.

00:08:56.580 It would for any kid.

00:08:57.740 But what we have here, this is based, I don't know if you've, Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

00:09:03.120 I don't know if you've ever heard of Munchausen by proxy syndrome.

00:09:06.360 That's when a parent, usually a mother, causes her own child to be sick. 0.56

00:09:11.620 And either she can fabricate symptoms in some cases, or she can actually make the child sick, poison the kid, you know, not give him enough food so that he's malnourished. 1.00

00:09:25.520 Whatever the case may be, very often in these cases, the child is made sick by the mother.

00:09:33.820 And the mother does this because, well, she does this, number one, because she's just a sick person herself. 0.88

00:09:39.820 But her motivations, you know, she wants attention. 0.99

00:09:43.620 She wants to be seen as the white knight who's caring for a sick child, so she makes her child sick. 1.00

00:09:48.160 Or she just wants her child to need her and to be completely dependent on her, so she makes the kid sick for that reason. 1.00

00:09:54.200 And that's basically what seems to be happening here.

00:09:56.840 This is a mental illness, maybe not a physical illness yet, although there are physical ramifications, but this is a mental illness that is being caused in the child by the mother. 0.56

00:10:08.720 This is a perfectly normal, healthy young boy, a boy who just wants to be a boy, wants to be a kid, wants to enjoy his life, have fun.

00:10:16.420 But the mother and the medical establishment, remember, this woman is a pediatrician, and then there's a therapist involved as well. 0.62

00:10:23.160 So the mother and the medical establishment, they have plucked this kid out of his life, and they have said, no, no, you have to be horribly confused about who you are.

00:10:33.820 We want you to have an identity crisis, so we will create one.

00:10:37.960 No, sorry, little boy, you're not allowed to have a normal life.

00:10:41.580 We're going to ruin your life because that's the trendy thing. 0.98

00:10:46.660 You know, I'm the mother, and it's trendy to have a transgender kid, so I'm going to make you be one. 0.99

00:10:54.480 You know what a child needs?

00:10:57.300 A child needs clarity, instruction, guidance.

00:11:01.780 And then he also needs, at a certain point, for adults to just get out of the way and let him be a kid.

00:11:07.320 So, in other words, a kid needs to be a kid within the safe and clarifying structure of a loving and attentive and caring family.

00:11:19.460 And this child does not have any of that, thanks to the mother.

00:11:22.560 He has the opposite of that.

00:11:25.180 He is getting the opposite of what he needs.

00:11:27.800 Now, fast forward 15 years.

00:11:32.320 Imagine that the kid is 21 years old.

00:11:35.040 And if we had never heard this story before, if there was no father there to fight for him valiantly, as this father is doing.

00:11:41.820 And by the way, imagine, you know, we're talking about how bad it is for the kid.

00:11:44.940 And obviously, the child is the number one victim in this situation.

00:11:48.880 But imagine being the father.

00:11:52.320 You know, imagine this happening to your son, your son being destroyed this way. 1.00

00:11:57.800 By these perverts and these maniacs. 0.94

00:12:02.060 And you're being legally prevented by the courts from stepping in and doing anything about it. 0.96

00:12:07.580 I mean, can you imagine?

00:12:08.360 Can you imagine the courts telling you as a father that, you know, you're not allowed to get your son dressed in normal boy clothes?

00:12:16.140 You have to provide dresses for him? 1.00

00:12:18.980 This is so insane.

00:12:20.640 What's going on?

00:12:23.200 Could anyone, 15 years ago, could anyone have imagined that this is where we would be?

00:12:27.100 Even just 15 years ago.

00:12:29.000 This is how far we've fallen in just a decade, decade and a half.

00:12:33.840 Nobody could have conceived of this 15 years ago.

00:12:37.020 And here we are.

00:12:40.800 So just imagine, fast forward another 15 years.

00:12:44.680 Kids 21 years old.

00:12:45.720 If we had never heard of this story, if there was no father there to fight for him, if the mother were to succeed in having the child chemically castrated, literally physically forcing him to be a female, to take on this female identity.

00:13:00.280 Then it's 15 years later, and he identifies as a woman, quote unquote.

00:13:06.480 Now, the left would take him and they would use him as another example.

00:13:13.120 And they would say, look, see, some biological males just naturally identify as women.

00:13:19.060 But there's nothing natural about this.

00:13:22.500 We are seeing how this process really plays out in real time.

00:13:28.960 And we are seeing how he is being shaped this way.

00:13:32.580 He is molded.

00:13:34.360 This delusion is forced into his skull.

00:13:38.920 He's not being given a choice, really.

00:13:40.880 And he didn't stand a chance.

00:13:44.800 So what we call, when we see this transgenderism, we say, oh, you know, it's just naturally arising. 0.98

00:13:51.860 None of this is natural. 0.90

00:13:53.620 Either this is a mental illness that just came up on its own somehow, as mental illnesses sometimes do.

00:14:00.520 Or I think probably more often than that, more commonly, you've got some form of abuse that happens to a child at a young age.

00:14:12.000 And that's how they end up as transgender later in life.

00:14:16.260 Now, it may not always be this kind of abuse where you've got a parent forcing transgenderism on the child.

00:14:22.600 But this kind of thing does happen.

00:14:24.220 I think it happens much more frequently now.

00:14:25.560 It certainly happens more frequently now than it did in years past.

00:14:31.600 But you could also have other forms of abuse that cause the child to be confused about who he is, ashamed of who he is, naturally.

00:14:39.920 And then to go and seek other identities.

00:14:44.880 So there's just, this is not a natural process that takes place.

00:14:50.800 Second point, I think we should also be clear about something else.

00:14:53.040 Because this child is being sexually abused.

00:14:59.340 And I think we should, that's what we should call it.

00:15:02.960 We should call this sexual abuse, because that's what it is. 0.98

00:15:06.600 This is not just physical abuse, emotional abuse.

00:15:09.640 This is sexual abuse.

00:15:11.260 This is sexual abuse in a very literal way. 0.97

00:15:14.120 Because his sexuality is being abused. 0.99

00:15:18.680 His sexuality is being perverted, mutated, destroyed. 0.91

00:15:22.460 His sexuality, his natural sexuality is being taken from him. 0.94

00:15:27.600 So in the most literal and direct kind of way, I think we could call this sexual abuse.

00:15:33.740 And that is what we should call it.

00:15:36.480 Because it deserves the same kind of visceral anger and disgust that anyone feels and experiences when they hear about child sexual abuse.

00:15:47.060 This deserves to be put in that category and thought of in the same way.

00:15:52.820 And again, if we were a sane and just society, it would deserve to be punished the same way.

00:16:00.180 Third point, you know, I have often said, I've made the point many times, that the transgender agenda conflicts with, contradicts feminism.

00:16:09.740 And I think that's still true.

00:16:14.120 But in cases like this, you see how actually the two go together.

00:16:20.280 They go hand in hand.

00:16:21.840 So you see how in some cases, militant feminism and transgenderism form a kind of dangerous and unholy alliance. 0.96

00:16:28.700 So it would seem that in this case, this woman hates boys so much that she wants to turn her son into a girl. 0.91

00:16:37.420 And I think this is something that even I have missed when I've been talking about this.

00:16:42.060 And I say all the time, well, why aren't feminists resisting this more? 1.00

00:16:46.060 And I think this is one of the reasons that I've overlooked.

00:16:50.820 This is why so many feminists go along with the transgender thing, because it's anti-male, it's anti-boy. 1.00

00:16:59.040 Why do you think such a large percentage of transgenders are boys? 1.00

00:17:02.520 That seems like a weird coincidence, doesn't it?

00:17:05.340 Why is that?

00:17:06.760 If this is just a naturally arising thing, gender is fluid, blah, blah, blah. 0.99

00:17:11.100 Then why is it that most of these, then why is it happening to boys most of the time?

00:17:16.160 Why are the vast majority of them boys?

00:17:17.900 Because this is a, this is a, we live in an anti-boy, anti-male culture.

00:17:24.380 We live in a culture dominated by feminism. 1.00

00:17:28.100 And so that's what this is.

00:17:32.100 What the mother is really saying is, I want a girl. 0.54

00:17:34.740 I don't want a boy. 0.81

00:17:38.460 And so I'm going to turn my son into a girl. 1.00

00:17:42.560 And I think that's what our culture does in a, you know, on a, on a, in a, in a general sense.

00:17:47.640 That's what our culture is doing.

00:17:50.100 Our culture is saying, well, girls are better than boys. 0.93

00:17:52.720 We would rather have girls than boys. 0.98

00:17:54.200 So we're going to take these boys and we're going to turn them into girls. 1.00

00:17:58.060 By whatever means necessary. 0.98

00:18:00.860 Up to and including chemical castration.

00:18:04.480 I mean, one of these days, a hundred years from now, 200 years from now, uh, 500 years from now,

00:18:11.120 like archaeologists are going to go back.

00:18:14.320 Future archaeologists, centuries in the future, they're going to go back and they're going to,

00:18:18.940 you know, dig up the, the remains of our doomed civilization.

00:18:23.060 And they're going to find evidence of, of these sorts of things.

00:18:26.700 And they're just going to scratch their head.

00:18:28.880 Do you realize we are living through things right now that archaeologists in the future

00:18:34.920 are, are going to, are going to spend, are going to spend their entire careers debating

00:18:40.520 and trying to figure out, try to get to the bottom of, trying to figure out how this could

00:18:44.780 have happened.

00:18:45.240 We are experiencing, we are experiencing right now, what will be in the future, a mystery

00:18:51.840 where people are going to debate, how did the, how did this ever happen?

00:18:55.000 That they, how is it that this, that this ancient civilization ever became confused

00:18:59.740 about what a man is and what a, what a woman is.

00:19:03.360 Look at this strange, weird custom that they would have, where they would forcibly turn boys 0.88

00:19:07.980 into girls.

00:19:08.740 Why did they do this?

00:19:10.300 Were they worshiping some sort of deity?

00:19:11.920 And it's going to be a, it's going to be, they're going to be writing thesis papers and

00:19:15.020 they're going to be, you know, publishing papers and scientific journals debating this

00:19:20.260 question.

00:19:21.040 And the thing is, we're living through it right now.

00:19:23.560 And it's kind of a mystery, even to us.

00:19:26.400 We don't even exactly know where this came from or why it's happening.

00:19:31.260 When and why and where did we cross this kind of Rubicon where all of a sudden we became

00:19:37.080 confused about these basic facts of life, these basic biological facts.

00:19:41.920 It's really a horrible thing.

00:19:46.080 Um, so let's, let's pray for this young man and for this, uh, for this father who is, who

00:19:51.060 is fighting heroically, um, to save his son.

00:19:57.200 And, uh, and let's, let's, let's hope that and pray that he succeeds.

00:20:01.360 All right.

00:20:03.880 Um, I think that's, Oh, actually one, one of the thing I wanted to mention before we wrap

00:20:08.620 up here, um, not nearly as important as the subject I was just discussing, but I wanted

00:20:17.500 to tell you, I wanted to tell you what happened to me this morning.

00:20:19.520 Um, and this has just happened to me way, way too many times in my life and I'm tired of

00:20:24.540 it.

00:20:25.340 And so it needs to be addressed.

00:20:27.500 Um, here, here, here's what happened.

00:20:29.240 I pulled up to a four way stop.

00:20:31.660 Okay.

00:20:32.740 Just happened this morning.

00:20:33.820 And I got to the stop probably, uh, probably a half a second before another car pulled

00:20:40.780 up, but the other car that pulled up, they were on my right.

00:20:45.700 So if, if we had arrived simultaneously at the four way stop, they would have had the right

00:20:50.720 of way, but we were not simultaneously simultaneous yet.

00:20:54.960 Our arrivals were so close together that I thought he might not realize that I have the

00:20:59.440 right of way.

00:20:59.940 So I very generously, very magnanimously in an act of unimaginable kindness in order to

00:21:08.600 avoid any confusion, I yielded the right of way to him.

00:21:12.880 And I, and I gave him the wave.

00:21:14.420 I said, you know, I did this, go ahead.

00:21:16.380 And I even nodded my head, go ahead.

00:21:17.760 That's what I did.

00:21:19.300 And I waved him on, but this anarchist refused to go, right?

00:21:24.380 Because then what did he do?

00:21:25.720 And you've seen people, then he waved me on instead.

00:21:27.960 He said, no, go ahead.

00:21:29.160 So I'm waving him.

00:21:29.820 And he's waving to me.

00:21:31.080 He's refusing my act of kindness.

00:21:33.520 So I, I say, okay.

00:21:34.920 So I switched my wave to this and I say, okay, I switched my wave to a thank you.

00:21:38.920 And I said, okay, fine, I'll go.

00:21:41.000 And then I started to go.

00:21:42.240 But then in a delayed reaction, as I'm starting to go, he decides at that moment to take me

00:21:47.460 up on the offer that I've now rescinded.

00:21:49.500 And then he starts to go.

00:21:50.880 So then I stop and I wave him on.

00:21:52.880 And then he's delayed in every, in every case he stops and waves me on.

00:21:56.000 And now we're just stopping and going and waving.

00:21:57.720 We look, we look like we're having seizures in the car.

00:22:00.800 So finally I took on, took charge of the situation and I just plowed right through, but it was a very traumatic

00:22:07.080 and potentially dangerous moment and it happens way too often at four-way stops and just, and just in general in life.

00:22:13.600 So here's what we're going to do.

00:22:15.340 When I am dictator of the world, there's going to be a new law and it will apply not only to four-way stops,

00:22:22.940 but to all similar social situations.

00:22:26.180 And the law goes like this.

00:22:27.860 When somebody extends a minor act of courtesy towards you in order to facilitate a social interaction,

00:22:36.840 you must accept that courtesy.

00:22:40.320 You must say thank you and just accept it.

00:22:43.380 You may not decline the courtesy and deflect it back to the person who offered it to you.

00:22:49.240 This isn't dodgeball.

00:22:50.380 This is not courtesy dodgeball where you're dodging it, throwing it back to me.

00:22:53.960 We're not doing that.

00:22:54.860 So you take the kindness, you say thank you, you move on with your life.

00:22:59.220 Another example of this would be like if you're going through a door and you hold the door for someone,

00:23:03.460 but then they come in behind you and they hold it behind you and they say, no, after you.

00:23:07.080 Or even worse, when it's a double door situation and you hold the left door for someone as they're coming in,

00:23:12.540 but then they go through the right door, even though you're holding the left door, 0.99

00:23:15.260 just leaving you standing a door, standing, holding a door for nobody, looking like an idiot. 0.99

00:23:19.160 So that is, when I am dictator, that's not going to be allowed anymore. 0.99

00:23:25.320 If you are caught declining an act of courtesy in that way, you will face execution and or a $50 fine,

00:23:35.480 depending on how I'm feeling that day, because that is how I will rule when I'm a dictator,

00:23:40.060 as any good dictator would.

00:23:42.000 All right, just wanted to clarify that as we wrap up.

00:23:45.280 Hope you guys have a great day.

00:23:46.600 Thanks for watching.

00:23:47.100 Thanks for listening.

00:23:48.280 Godspeed.
