Dylan Mulvaney raps about being a girl, and TikTok makes you feel validated by it. Also, teachers need to stop putting the burden of validation on the kids they re supposed to be teaching and start putting it on themselves.

00:00:00.000 We're going to take a look at some viral videos and TikTok videos the kids are passing around on the internet this week.
00:00:07.840 These are videos that have been sent to me by my producers, specifically McKenna,
00:00:12.400 and she has sent me a lot of Dylan Mulvaney stuff because I guess she, you know, as usual, is trying to get me into even more trouble.
00:00:19.660 So I'm only looking at the description here, and they sent me this clip sheet.
00:00:23.480 This is all. So clip 20, Dylan raps about being a girl.
00:00:30.000 Okay, it's day 200 of being a girl, and I think we can agree that it's been a whirlwind.
00:00:39.840 I have a tendency to overshare my life, and y'all are still watching. How cool is that?
00:00:46.840 Once upon a time, I was a boy who had ADHD, and now I'm a girl who still has ADHD.
00:00:53.980 I really like possums and Twilight and pretzels.
00:00:57.440 I accidentally became an influencer. Now here we are.
00:01:01.680 Girlhood has had its ups and its downs, and here's what I've learned so far.
00:01:07.480 Six, seven, eight.
00:01:08.900 Women are awesome, but can also be cruel. 1.00
00:01:12.140 I'm doing my best, and boys, they kind of drool.
00:01:15.860 My hormones are wild, and my boobs kind of sore.
00:01:18.960 It's only day 200. We have so much more to experience together.
00:01:24.680 We're just getting started.
00:01:26.500 Thank you for being my friend.
00:01:28.820 You're open-hearted. I don't feel so alone.
00:01:31.880 No more shame and carefree.
00:01:34.100 Being a girl is awesome.
00:01:36.160 Would you agree?
00:01:37.340 Woo-hoo! 1.00
00:01:40.600 Woo-hoo! 1.00
00:01:41.700 Love ya!
00:01:46.020 Why would you do that to me?
00:01:47.640 Why would you do that to me?
00:01:51.020 I think I've said all about this guy that needs to be said, or that can be said.
00:01:57.260 I am interested in, well, not really interested, but I'm slightly curious about,
00:02:01.580 uh, I like possums and pretzels.
00:02:04.860 Like, the two most random possible things.
00:02:11.440 Wait, first of all, you like possums. What does that mean?
00:02:16.660 You know what? We're just gonna move on.
00:02:18.740 So, today was our first day back from spring break,
00:02:22.100 and I told all my students that my pronouns are they, them,
00:02:27.880 and that my honorific is mix.
00:02:31.580 A few of my students had some questions,
00:02:34.480 and we were able to talk about those,
00:02:37.120 but I wanted to tell you about two of my students
00:02:40.240 that just made my heart sing and made me feel so validated.
00:02:45.020 One of them, she put in the chat,
00:02:47.700 ah, I'm so proud of you!
00:02:50.080 And then one of my other students,
00:02:52.600 maybe like half an hour after we had talked about that,
00:02:55.680 had a question and put in the chat,
00:02:58.540 mix, da-da-da-da-da, here's my question.
00:03:01.580 Um, and it was just so validating to see mix pop up on the screen instead of miss,
00:03:08.220 and I just, it made my day.
00:03:11.340 You know, it really, uh, it really, it cannot be emphasized enough how perverse,
00:03:19.040 I mean, obviously, all of this is perverse.
00:03:21.000 But just the very idea that you are, you are seeking validation from kids,
00:03:28.240 not only kids, but the kids you're supposed to be teaching.
00:03:31.440 You are supposed to be providing a service to the child by teaching the child,
00:03:36.420 and, and therefore to the parents and to the community,
00:03:38.740 like, that's what you're supposed to be doing.
00:03:40.440 And yet they become forums, uh, or, or, or you, you have now put on them
00:03:46.140 the burden of validation.
00:03:48.360 So I think we spent a lot of time talking about how it, it, you know,
00:03:51.300 being called mix, just a total gibberish.
00:03:55.000 It doesn't make any sense to feel validated by that.
00:03:58.220 That is a bizarre and ridiculous thing to be validated by.
00:04:02.140 And of course that's true, but also just, just that you want to be validated at all
00:04:08.320 by the kids, that you are putting that on them.
00:04:10.360 That's not their burden.
00:04:11.940 In fact, it's not, it's not anyone's burden.
00:04:14.000 It's not anyone's job to validate you in that sense.
00:04:17.840 And I still, I, you know, people make this point all the time when we see these videos of teachers
00:04:22.780 and, um, but it's a good point that way I think back to when I was a kid
00:04:27.440 and it's like, you didn't know anything about your teachers.
00:04:32.100 You didn't know anything about their private life.
00:04:34.340 It didn't come up.
00:04:35.600 They didn't talk about it.
00:04:37.240 There's no reason to talk about it.
00:04:38.820 As far as you were concerned, your teacher lived at the school.
00:04:42.160 And it's like, the teacher was like a, some sort of a vampire or something that they
00:04:47.000 cart out from the basement and then bring up into the classroom and then bring back down.
00:04:51.300 That's what you thought.
00:04:52.040 It was like, as far as you were concerned, the teachers lived there.
00:04:54.680 And then if you, if you saw a teacher somewhere else, if you saw them at the grocery store,
00:04:59.160 if you saw them in civilian clothes, anywhere else, it was like mind blowing.
00:05:04.700 And that's actually, that's how it should be.
00:05:06.340 Cause that, what that shows, of course, it's like as a child, that's, it's a, it's a, it's
00:05:10.660 an absurd kind of view that you have of your teacher.
00:05:12.880 But what it shows is that there are appropriate boundaries in place between you and the teacher.
00:05:20.120 And what this shows is that there are no boundaries at all.
00:05:22.660 And that you are seeking validation from kids.
00:05:25.660 You know, you should be providing emotional support in an appropriate way.
00:05:30.800 And in a, in a, in a properly ordered way to the child, not the other way around.
00:05:35.480 You know, you've heard me talk about how important it is to have a VPN to protect your
00:05:39.260 online privacy, but choosing a VPN you trust is equally as important.
00:05:42.340 I like to do my research on my sponsors, and I only recommend brands to my listeners
00:05:46.260 that I believe in to actually stop people from monitoring your online activity.
00:05:49.340 You need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:05:51.940 Think about all the times you've used wifi at a coffee shop, hotel, even a friend's house.
00:05:56.540 Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit can be logged by the admin of that network.
00:06:00.780 That's still true.
00:06:01.640 Even when you're in incognito mode, ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts all of your network
00:06:05.920 data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that your private online
00:06:09.800 activity stays private.
00:06:11.480 ExpressVPN works on all your devices.
00:06:13.140 It's super easy to use.
00:06:14.440 The app has one button.
00:06:15.460 You tap it to connect, and your browsing activity is secure.
00:06:18.320 Stop letting strangers invade your online privacy and protect yourself at expressvpn.com
00:06:23.100 slash WalshYT.
00:06:24.780 Use my link at expressvpn.com slash WalshYT to get three extra months free.
00:06:29.260 That's exprssvpn.com slash WalshYT.
00:06:32.060 If I work somewhere and I express to a number of people what my pronouns are, and I'm working
00:06:41.220 there for like six months, um, I shouldn't have to explicitly tell every single person.
00:06:49.340 I've been working, I work there for like six months or more.
00:06:52.140 Okay, so we have another person complaining about being misgendered.
00:07:00.440 This actually reminded me of a video that I had a couple days ago and we didn't get a
00:07:03.620 chance to play.
00:07:04.740 And so these two videos kind of tie together.
00:07:06.700 They almost look like similar people, different hairstyle anyway.
00:07:09.400 But here's another person complaining about being misgendered.
00:07:11.540 And there's an important point to be made from this, but let's, let's watch this first.
00:07:14.340 You know what I don't get is why people still see me as a woman.
00:07:19.180 What more could I be doing?
00:07:20.820 I literally go my titties off.
00:07:26.420 I don't think I look like a woman.
00:07:31.500 So why does everybody?
00:07:35.760 Well, people still see you as a woman because, because you are one. 1.00
00:07:39.480 And this only goes to show that, uh, it actually does not boil down to any individual body part.
00:07:47.520 That's a, that's what that, that side accuses us of doing that.
00:07:50.220 They, they accuse us of just sort of like reducing people to their body parts and all of that, you know?
00:07:56.480 So when you say that, well, a man has a penis, they say, well, that's, that's reductive.
00:08:01.500 They say that's all.
00:08:02.580 But then of course the, the irony in the self-contradiction is always is that that's exactly what they do
00:08:07.460 because they think we'll remove a couple of body parts or change some body parts, you know,
00:08:12.320 and then you're, you'll, you not only will you look like the other sex, but you actually will be the other sex.
00:08:18.680 We're the ones saying, no, it doesn't work that way.
00:08:21.480 Okay.
00:08:22.220 Now it's, it's, it's true that for example, men have penises.
00:08:26.740 That's a correct statement, but that's not the only physical difference between men and women.
00:08:32.780 So even if a man is castrated, he's still a man and will still look like a man.
00:08:37.740 And the same is true for women also, because your, your entire body is a woman. 1.00
00:08:44.200 And, uh, we can just see that.
00:08:46.800 We can see that in the, your shoulders.
00:08:50.040 We could see it in your facial structure.
00:08:52.280 You know, you can see it in your hand.
00:08:53.640 You can see, you see, it's your entire body.
00:08:56.560 That's what it is.
00:08:57.160 And you cannot escape it and you shouldn't try to escape it.
00:09:01.060 And also doctors shouldn't be doing that to anyone at all, especially not the kids though,
00:09:06.220 which is why to bring this all back to the beginning, because this is a, this is a celebratory
00:09:10.180 day at the end.
00:09:11.020 And I, I hate to end it on such a sour note because at least in Tennessee anyway, anyway,
00:09:15.660 uh, doctors would not be able to do that to kids, um, anymore.
00:09:19.440 Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky.
00:09:22.500 Ain't no telephone bill.
