00:00:00.000 So we get to look at some viral TikTok videos.
00:00:04.480 Ah, s***. Here we go again.
00:00:07.020 We've got a woman talking to her baby 1.00
00:00:10.160 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.
00:00:16.480 Let's see.
00:00:17.340 What?
00:00:20.340 You may not touch my belly button.
00:00:22.420 That's my body, and I don't want you to touch it that way.
00:00:27.220 Yeah.
00:00:27.700 You may touch your own belly button,
00:00:29.700 but I do not want my belly button to be touched, okay?
00:00:33.760 No.
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.
00:00:42.180 No.
00:00:42.980 Yeah, okay?
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.
00:00:51.580 Yes, okay?
00:00:53.020 No, no, no.
00:00:55.300 Oh, really?
00:00:56.020 Do you want your bottle?
00:00:58.500 Yeah, I'm sure your six-month-old baby can understand
00:01:02.200 what the hell you're babbling about. 0.51
00:01:04.260 I'm sure that's really sinking in.
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?
00:01:18.160 Your baby is touching you,
00:01:19.800 and you're framing that as him violating your consent?
00:01:22.620 Your baby?
00:01:23.820 That's how you want to, like, see this?
00:01:26.360 That's sort of the framing, the context we're giving this?
00:01:30.540 Yes, mother.
00:01:31.920 Do I have consent to make physical contact with your mother?
00:01:35.460 Six-month-old is supposed to say that to you.
00:01:36.920 That's what you're expecting.
00:01:38.040 These people are such freaks.
00:01:40.840 Absolute freaks.
00:01:41.440 And I feel so bad for these kids.
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
00:02:03.020 their bodies and that no means no.
00:02:05.060 I teach them about racism and skin color because they are not too young to learn. 0.53
00:02:09.380 I never force them to finish their plates because I want them to have a healthy relationship
00:02:13.920 with you.
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
00:02:45.560 eating disorders down the line.
00:02:47.320 No, that's not what it's about.
00:02:49.460 There's a few things.
00:02:50.600 Making your kid eat the food that's on their plate.
00:02:52.520 Eat.
00:02:53.080 Eat the food.
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?
00:03:09.500 Is that a healthy relationship?
00:03:11.460 No, you make them eat it because it's about not being wasteful.
00:03:16.140 It's also about being grateful.
00:03:18.820 Okay, you are providing sustenance to your child.
00:03:22.260 You're making meals for them.
00:03:23.540 You're doing all that.
00:03:24.840 And even though it's your responsibility as a parent, they should still be grateful that
00:03:27.680 you're doing it.
00:03:28.420 And refusing to eat the food is not grateful.
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
00:03:43.100 going to be eating pure sugar.
00:03:44.500 Like if you let your kid decide that if you had a jar of sugar in your pantry, they will
00:03:50.060 just eat from that.
00:03:51.840 Like sugar and wash it down with soda.
00:03:54.460 That's all they'll eat.
00:03:55.680 Why is that?
00:03:56.420 Because kids don't know what's best for them.
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.
00:04:12.900 Okay, there's one more.
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.
00:04:24.880 Let's watch some of this.
00:04:25.600 Okay, so first of all, I will say that the process, the journey is ongoing and probably
00:04:30.280 will be for potentially her entire life.
00:04:33.540 But here's how it started.
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
00:04:59.920 wanting to put on lip gloss.
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.
00:05:06.800 No issue.
00:05:07.360 We had no issue with, you know, her wanting to do those kinds of things. 0.82
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
00:05:20.980 in dresses and jewelry.
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 1.00
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.
00:06:06.580 No one's going to misgender me now.
00:06:08.540 Um, and so it, it progressed.
00:06:10.360 It just kept moving in that direction with more and more things that started showing more
00:06:14.220 and more signs.
00:06:15.320 Um, she would say, when I wake up tomorrow, I'll be a girl.
00:06:17.820 And we were kind of like, Oh, okay.
00:06:19.720 Yeah.
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
00:06:27.520 this thing out.
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. 0.73
00:06:35.520 And so I was like, all right, let's do it.
00:06:37.420 Well, that didn't go over so well.
00:06:38.900 She not only hated t-ball, she hated the uniform.
00:06:41.860 She hated the hat.
00:06:42.420 Oh, okay.
00:06:42.900 Everything in the trash multiple times.
00:06:44.660 Well, if he hated t-ball, then he must be a girl. 1.00
00:06:46.680 There's no other explanation.
00:06:48.400 Obviously that was the final, right?
00:06:51.840 That's when they knew that was the final test because there's no way a child could not like
00:06:57.200 t-ball unless they're a girl. 1.00
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.
00:07:07.720 I didn't like t-ball either.
00:07:09.560 But okay.
00:07:10.360 Well, I guess I'm a woman then.
00:07:11.340 This is a weird way to find out.
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
00:07:16.020 in the world.
00:07:16.340 That means I can't be criticized anymore.
00:07:17.980 I'm a, you know, I have more victim points than I ever thought I did.
00:07:23.960 I have so much contempt for these people.
00:07:27.480 The parents are the worst.
00:07:28.960 She is an evil, despicable woman. 1.00
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 0.96
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 1.00
00:07:52.760 fashion accessory for her and she will destroy her son's life to do it. 1.00
00:07:57.240 And that's what this is.
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? 1.00
00:08:10.780 I mean, she's just so in her and her, her and her useless, hen pecked, emasculated, effeminate, 1.00
00:08:18.060 ballless husband are two of the dumbest humans to ever live. 0.98
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
00:08:43.120 that.
00:08:43.480 Here's what you say to that.
00:08:44.840 Oh, no, you're not.
00:08:46.160 Son, you'll, you'll be a boy tomorrow because you're a boy.
00:08:49.060 End of conversation.
00:08:50.100 That's it.
00:08:51.560 That's all you got to say.
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
00:09:10.400 this.
00:09:11.040 I guess it's up to interpretation.
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.
00:09:22.720 I just don't.
00:09:24.100 I don't believe it.
00:09:25.060 So we can end on that fun note as always.
00:09:28.680 Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows.
00:09:32.000 Everything that's wonderful is what I feel.
00:09:34.740 And we're together brighter than a lucky day.
00:09:39.040 All right.
00:09:40.740 All right.
00:09:42.300 What?
00:09:43.540 What?
00:09:44.100 What?
00:09:44.700 What's wrong?
00:09:45.020 What?
00:09:45.420 What?
00:09:45.720 What?
00:09:45.880 What?
00:09:46.500 What?
