and trying to communicate some ideas to the baby
00:00:13.340
that might be over his head a little bit, but I don't know.
00:00:22.420
That's my body, and I don't want you to touch it that way.
00:00:29.700
but I do not want my belly button to be touched, okay?
00:00:34.420
Yes, I am in charge of my body, and you are in charge of your body,
00:00:38.800
and right now I don't want my body to be touched on my belly button.
00:00:44.020
So you can touch your belly button because that's your body,
00:00:48.200
but I don't want my body to be touched right now.
00:00:58.500
Yeah, I'm sure your six-month-old baby can understand
00:01:06.440
Your lesson about consent is sinking in with your infant child.
00:01:13.080
And also, how just weird is it to frame this as a matter of consent?
00:01:19.800
and you're framing that as him violating your consent?
00:01:26.360
That's sort of the framing, the context we're giving this?
00:01:31.920
Do I have consent to make physical contact with your mother?
00:01:43.380
I can only imagine what's going to happen as that child gets older.
00:01:46.100
I take my kids to protests because I want them to learn to use their privilege for justice.
00:01:51.420
I let them wear what they want and go to drag queen story hours because love is love,
00:01:55.380
all humans are valid, and gender is a social construct.
00:01:58.260
I ask if they want hugs because I need them to know that they have consent and control over
00:02:05.060
I teach them about racism and skin color because they are not too young to learn.
00:02:09.380
I never force them to finish their plates because I want them to have a healthy relationship
00:02:14.880
I have them tell me their feelings by showing me inside-out figurines because sometimes
00:02:19.160
that's easier than putting emotions into words.
00:02:21.740
And I teach them to love everyone because life is too short for hate.
00:02:28.560
I mean, this is becoming, it seems like an increasingly popular, at least I'm seeing on
00:02:34.760
social media more and more, this thing about you don't want to force your kid to eat
00:02:38.900
because you want them to have a healthy relationship with food.
00:02:42.120
I guess the idea is that if you force your kid to eat, that you're going to cause like
00:02:50.600
Making your kid eat the food that's on their plate.
00:02:53.680
It's about teaching them not to be wasteful, which is a very important skill.
00:02:58.860
You put food on a plate and the kid doesn't eat it and then you just throw it away.
00:03:02.400
Let me ask you, is that a healthy relationship with food?
00:03:05.040
To throw good food away when they're starving people out there?
00:03:11.460
No, you make them eat it because it's about not being wasteful.
00:03:18.820
Okay, you are providing sustenance to your child.
00:03:24.840
And even though it's your responsibility as a parent, they should still be grateful that
00:03:32.220
And also because you do have to force your child to engage in proper nutrition because
00:03:38.080
if you don't, if you let them take the lead, all they're ever going to do is they're just
00:03:44.500
Like if you let your kid decide that if you had a jar of sugar in your pantry, they will
00:03:58.200
Kids will also be hungry and yet they'll want to refuse to eat anyway.
00:04:04.100
Even like they want to eat and they need to eat and yet they'll try to refuse anyway because
00:04:09.740
they're being defiant or because they're in a snit about this or that.
00:04:13.600
This one's kind of seeming to get passed around on Twitter quite a bit.
00:04:17.760
And this, I believe, is a woman talking about her trans two-year-old, if I'm not mistaken.
00:04:25.600
Okay, so first of all, I will say that the process, the journey is ongoing and probably
00:04:34.980
So she was designated, assigned, observed male at birth.
00:04:40.240
And until about 18 months, didn't really, you know, know too much, just kind of was raising
00:04:46.500
two kids, working full time, not really paying attention to what was going on.
00:04:50.180
And at around 18 months started, she started showing signs of like really being interested
00:04:55.040
in things that her sister had and had in her closet and wanting to play dress up and
00:05:01.040
And when she would see fingernails, she would want her fingernails painted too.
00:05:04.620
And, you know, we just, we thought it was cute.
00:05:07.360
We had no issue with, you know, her wanting to do those kinds of things.
00:05:10.420
Um, and then around the age of two, things started to progress at a quicker pace.
00:05:14.840
And so each time that we would go to pick her up from preschool, she was fully outfitted
00:05:23.280
And so I will say I was super stoked that we had such a wonderful childcare center that
00:05:30.800
she was in because she was allowed to, you know, experiment with her gender and play dress
00:05:36.420
up and do those kinds of things and have access to them.
00:05:39.060
So when I would go to pick her up from preschool, like I said, she would be dripping in, you know,
00:05:43.160
just jewelry and clicky shoes and all kinds of stuff.
00:05:45.520
And getting her to take that off to go home was usually a pretty gnarly struggle.
00:05:49.060
Uh, and then around the age of four, she started wanting to wear like leggings and headbands.
00:05:56.040
She had this one headband she was completely attached to that she felt.
00:05:59.620
I, I look back on it now and think to myself, gosh, I wonder when she put that, that headband
00:06:04.200
on, she thought to herself, people see me for who I am.
00:06:10.360
It just kept moving in that direction with more and more things that started showing more
00:06:15.320
Um, she would say, when I wake up tomorrow, I'll be a girl.
00:06:20.720
And my husband and I would be like, we gotta, we gotta figure this thing out.
00:06:23.700
And so kind of for that final test, my husband decided, you know what, we're going to figure
00:06:28.160
We're, we're going to, we're going to tap into this and see what happens.
00:06:31.060
So he said, you know, I'm going to coach a t-ball team and I want her to be on it.
00:06:38.900
She not only hated t-ball, she hated the uniform.
00:06:44.660
Well, if he hated t-ball, then he must be a girl.
00:06:51.840
That's when they knew that was the final test because there's no way a child could not like
00:06:59.360
Turns out all my kids are girls because none of my kids like t-ball.
00:07:04.500
Even the kids that are playing t-ball don't like t-ball.
00:07:06.460
They're just, why they're not interested in it.
00:07:12.820
I didn't, I never thought I'd find out this way, but you know, that's not the worst thing
00:07:17.980
I'm a, you know, I have more victim points than I ever thought I did.
00:07:31.420
I will continue to say people like this should be in prison, life in prison, you know, and
00:07:36.560
I'm not satisfied with anything less than that.
00:07:38.920
Life in a cage for this monstrous demon is what she is because she wanted her child to
00:07:47.700
be trans and hell or high water, she was going to get it because she wants her kid to be a
00:07:52.760
fashion accessory for her and she will destroy her son's life to do it.
00:07:59.180
I know the more charitable interpretation is that rather than being a monstrous demon,
00:08:05.120
she's just the dumbest on the planet because that's the other potential, right?
00:08:10.780
I mean, she's just so in her and her, her and her useless, hen pecked, emasculated, effeminate,
00:08:18.060
ballless husband are two of the dumbest humans to ever live.
00:08:21.560
That's the other possibility because you would have to be that stupid if your one and a half
00:08:27.020
year old son shows interest in shiny, pretty things.
00:08:31.400
And so you start to think maybe he's actually a girl.
00:08:34.960
And then your, your little tiny son says, I'm going to wake up as a girl tomorrow.
00:08:38.680
And their response is, well, I don't know what, gee, I don't know how to, what to say about
00:08:46.160
Son, you'll, you'll be a boy tomorrow because you're a boy.
00:08:52.960
So are they really so stupid that they don't understand that?
00:08:57.780
Or are they evil and they are creating this identity crisis in their poor, helpless son
00:09:04.300
because it will make them feel better and they can virtue signal and make TikTok videos like
00:09:12.420
I can't see inside their hearts or their souls.
00:09:15.100
I especially can't see inside their souls because I don't think they have them.
00:09:17.980
But I think ultimately, you know, I just don't think anyone is that stupid.
