Matt Walsh is a fascist who is promoting violence against trans people. The idea that being trans is the result of some kind of social contagion has been disproven so many times. The theory of rapid-onset gender dysphoria comes from a survey of 256 parents of trans children, and not from the trans children themselves.
00:00:28.840The idea that being trans is the result of some kind of social contagion has been disproven so many times.
00:00:34.780The theory of rapid-onset gender dysphoria comes from a survey of 256 parents of trans children, and not from the trans children themselves.
00:00:43.080The article has been removed and criticized for bad methodology.
00:00:46.040After being peer-reviewed, it was found that rapid-onset gender dysphoria isn't even a formal medical diagnosis.
00:00:51.300It was found that between 2017 and 2019, the rates of teenagers identifying as trans didn't even increase.
00:00:56.800Theory of rapid-onset gender dysphoria argues that trans children identify as trans because they're trying to escape social stigma or to become more popular with their peer group.
00:01:04.600This makes no sense because rates of bullying and suicidality amongst trans youth is consistently higher when compared to their cis peers.
00:01:11.140The idea that the existence of trans influencers like Dylan Mulvaney are somehow transing your kids is completely unfounded.
00:01:16.900None of Dylan's content that I have ever seen argues that you should be trans or is trying to promote transness onto children at all.
00:01:24.400You say that the survey about rapid-onset gender dysphoria was invalid because they interviewed parents rather than the children themselves.
00:01:33.220Well, yes, if a child is sucked into a social contagion, he's not going to report that he's been sucked into a social contagion.
00:01:41.520Are you actually trying to prove that children aren't being indoctrinated by arguing that the indoctrinated children say they haven't been indoctrinated?
00:01:48.620Yes, I mean, if you go to your local Scientology Center and you ask anyone there whether they've been brainwashed, they're all going to say no.
00:01:57.860If you don't like the term rapid-onset gender dysphoria, you can call it whatever you want.
00:02:01.420If you prefer something less clinical-sounding, then just call it, wow, look at all of these kids calling themselves trans all of a sudden syndrome.
00:02:10.040The point is that according to data compiled by the Williams Institute, only half a percent of all adults in this country identify as trans, while the number for kids between the ages of 13 and 17 is 1.4%.
00:02:48.980Or perhaps you would say that there have always been this many trans people in the world, but they weren't free to live their truth or whatever.
00:02:54.780Well, the trouble with that theory is that there's absolutely not even one single shred of evidence to support the dramatic claim that there have always been millions upon millions of closeted trans people through history.
00:03:07.460Now, you can either believe what the data tells you, what all of it tells you, all of it, or you can invent a story, entirely unsupported, completely built on your imagination, about millions and millions and millions of theoretical trans people in older generations who don't show up in the data.
00:03:27.920Have you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
00:03:31.320It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, your internet service provider.
00:03:36.280Well, to actually stop people from monitoring your online activity, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:03:41.420Think about all the times you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, hotel, or even a friend's house.
00:03:45.580Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit can be logged by the admin of that network.
00:03:49.480That's still true, even when you're in incognito mode.
00:03:52.140ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that your private online activity stays private.
00:04:28.320See, he wants to have it both ways, where he hates the oversaturation of language with micro labels, yet when something is not 100% consistent and precise enough, he gets mad at that too.
00:04:41.680Now he's taking issue with micro labeling.
00:04:44.260Despite earlier complaining that macro labeling is not specific enough, you can't have it both ways.
00:04:50.520You have to use umbrella terms which are not going to be exactly precise.
00:04:53.980Yet as long as we understand that if somebody says bisexual and asexual, they're probably referring to romantic attraction to both genders.
00:05:02.620Well, thank you for reminding me about my fart sniffing mumbo jumbo line.
