- Colin Wright spoke at the ICONS Conference in Las Vegas on June 27th, 2022 and gave this talk: "What is a Woman? Debunking Myths about the Biology of Sex".
I am tall, straight-shouldered, small-hipped and muscular. My waist-to-hip ratio is not “most favorable” at 32”/38”.
This does not make me “more male.” How do I know? Two pregnancies made it pretty dang clear to me.
We all have different body structures because of genetics. Some girls have no defined waists and athletic figures but that does not make them a boy...
And the drive that you had to search out a male to impregnate you ALSO told you. Had you not received that instruction in your mind, but instead received instructions to go out and find someone to impregnate you would have been VERY CONFUSED. SAD that no one could understand you. And maybe even hating your body.
You are speaking rubbish.
@@aicram62 Yes, and that incorrect instruction would have been a mental disorder and would not have contributed at all to what sex she is. And despite the tremendous amounts of distress and anxiety that disorder would cause, it still would have meant that her mind is wrong. It would not have meant that everyone else is wrong. Everyone else that perceives her as female would have been correct, therefore it would have been ludicrous to force everyone else to comply to her wrong instruction.
@@mrkiky I don't think it means her mind was wrong. Or that it's a mental disorder. There is nothing about that situation that inherently causes hardship on your survival like being blind or deaf. What if CIS people are the ones whose mind is wrong?
And I somewhat agree that it doesn't contribute to what sex she is. Biological sex is more than just your genitalia. It's also your brain.
Here's an example A LONG TIME ago NYC was willing to take anyone to start teaching if they could just pass a test, which I took. A question was how would you teach children to learn how to read, And wrote about phonics and practicing sounding it out blah blah. When I got the test back it was marked wrong along with the response WHAT ABOUT THE MEANING? They can't read without knowing the meaning of the word.
And I think you all do the same with sex. Yes, we are a Sexually reproducing species as opposed to an asexually reproducing species. But all that tells you is which parts do what things to create offspring. It doesn't tell you anything about that person specifically.
I was a male trapped in a woman’s body until my mother gave birth to me!
😂
LOL
LOL
I don’t get people saying they feel like a man or woman.
I am 75. Been female all my life. But I could not say I “feel” like a woman.
I have nothing to compare it to.
How you feel as a man or a woman appears to be based, at least partly, on brain physiology, however how we express our gender is based on our environment (culture). For example, there was a longitudinal study which followed a group of boys who had their penises destroyed due to botched circumcisions. The doctors told the parents that they couldn't repair the damage, however since they were babies, could be 'transitioned' into girls. What the study showed was that these girls, who looked like girls and were treated as girls (having no memory of being transitioned because they were babies) felt like boys trapped in the wrong body. Some parents took them to therapists to help them adapt, however nothing worked. They were told what happened when they were older and some decided to transition back to males.
Right? I’m a woman and so…I’m a woman. That’s it. 😊
@@pillsareyummy I am not familiar with a multi-person long term study of boys raised as girls.
I AM familiar with the Devid Reimer case and there are excellent documentaries on it on YT and other platforms. He was a twin whose penis was rendered useless in a botched circumcision as an infant. He was raised s girl until puberty where he said,"No I am boy." and stopped cooperating in the experiment.
He was the control person of Dr. John Money's theory that gender is all nurture and zero nature. It was a failure in every way. It ended with both the boys committing suicide and destroyed the family. Money destroyed that family on a THEORY. One that failed totally.
They admit their goal from the get go was to destroy sexual norms through sex education programs in schools. Money was so extreme in his beliefs (influenced by his known hatred for his own penis, perhaps) advocated for castrating all males at birth! I encourage you to do a deep dive on your own and see if it passes your personal litmus test for settled science.
@@divergentsenior I can't speak to Money's psychological disposition, nor is motives, however I'd advise caution when getting info from social media, unless you know the sources are both non biased and cognizant of the issue
I remember hearing about this at University, during a 'sensation and perception' class in Psychology (we were studying the primate visual/auditory systems). A discussion broke out concerning the ethics of scientific progress and how it can run amok (Japan's unit 731 or the Nazi concentration camps being resent examples of unethical science). The discussions focused on two things: ethical research and the implications of the research the professor spoke of. As far as the studies are concerned, from what I remember the psychologists didn't interfere in any way, they just collected data. Many of the 'girls' felt like they were in the wrong body, some parents tried therapy to deal with their gender dysphoria, however nothing really worked, they later told them what had happened.
Money believed that gender identity was learned, however the studies I heard about said the opposite. Although their bodies were changed to look female, their brains didn't change, thus the idea is that gender identity is a product, at least in part, of brain anatomy. Years later I found myself talking with another professor (Neuroscientist), and over some 'herbal products' we discussed the aforementioned issue, we both agreed it'd be interesting to see if there were any differences between the brains of Transgender people vs Cis gender people. Years later studies have shown that there are differences between the brains of trans vs cisgender subjects using fMRI scans (we also know that there are differences between female vs male brains). In short, the data appears to show that the brains of transgenders resemble what you'd see in the gender they identify as. As to what causes this is at present unknown (at least as far as I know, since I don't follow this research that closely). The problem is that trans ideology maybe influencing how children see themselves, leading to false diagnosis of transgenderism. However, that's a topic for a different time ...
@@pillsareyummywhat do you think about the claim "female and male brains"? Does this have anything to do with gender dysphorea ?
Sex really matters when it comes to medical diagnosis
ruclips.net/video/qF14BmfWw1k/видео.html
Only after men get a papsmear?
true that. i work in medical coding, and while some "woke codes" are available to indicate that a person is trans-sexual, biological sex will always be a necessary component in the chart - not to discriminate, but because it's critical for understanding disease processes and for developing and administering treatments (eg for malignancies).
Of course. We are sexed right down to the cellular level and disease processes are different for females and males. I don’t understand why the medical profession goes along with this when they know it’s wrong.
@@charmainebaines-nk6dk same. 💯. It's a threat to both normal and trans health to create these delusional ideas. How can we move forward in medicine if we cannot use sex as a Dx factor? How can we produce decent scientific research if we follow ideology instead of biology!
Insane that it takes a whole panel and an evolutionary biologist to explain something humans have known for many thousands of years. Thank somebody that sanity still exists!
Thousands of years if quite an understatement, I think as long as sexual life has existed is more accurate.
@@petneb Yeah, I tried to leave it vague cause I didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole! I have the vague recollection of having read somewhere that there was some prehistoric time where they believed it was some kind of ‘voodoo’ and actually had no clue of the connection between s*x and babies. 🤷♀️
Also, ‘History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.’ ~George Santayana 😊
"to explain something that all animals have known for hundreds of MILLIONS of years." It's enough to make a cat laugh.
Sexual orientation is a description for social construct, a male is gay. Male is his gender, gay is his sexual orientation.
@cutwagman Homosexual.
Not Candy Coated. As is the Arbitrary Term of One Choosing a hidden identifier, as in
Gay.
What is embarrassing to be Homosexual ?
IF One needs to be identified as something other than what one prescribes to be other than the Normal Science Conclusion, for Reproductive Capacity, or in this instance, a useless mistake, a malfunction, in the mental construct of one's personal identifying characteristic that does nothing but attempt to add confusion, orMalfunction, broken mental need or fudged necessity, in defying rational thinking ?
But ONLY as to bring insanity to a Normal Societal Reasoning Construct of True Existence.

"Natural Elimination of This, Coddled Mistake, as is this Disfunctional Malfunction, Must Be Realized."
the mutual policing he's talking about during the questions, that a college of his "had to" publicly denounce him on twitter... this is truly like what happened in Mao 's China during the cultural Revolution!! when I was 16 I read the book Wild Swans and never forgot.
And don't forget in Hitler's time they killed the doctors, professors, and philosophers first!
Wow, I haven't heard of Wild Swans. Will look it up. From a distance I remember when some of the cultural revolution was happening, and later watched a documentary on it. Was so heartbreaking. All the beautiful art that was destroyed. My dad read about history, and especially about Chinese history all the time. I grew up surrounded by the families collected antique Chinese art.
Why is it important that it is like what happened in Mao's cultural revolution?
I'm not a biologist and I knew all of this already. lol
Yes, Because Fifteen Years ago this is not a thing, just a regular biology facts, nowadays people got butthurt and offended easily and try to cancel the platform for people doing it by pressuring with Mobs Force, That's why you rarely hear this again hahhahaha
its called common sense. unfortunately its not so common these days
I'm a uneducated bum with basic middle school biology understanding. And I fucking knew this already.
Show off! 🙂
@@MrFelixifyThat is the point, everybody knows this but children are brainwashed in to thinking it is different by telling them since first grade they can be who ever they want to be.
This has to be heard so common sense comes back
Summed up...Outward appearances do not determine what sex you are. Hair, makeup, plastic surgery do not a woman make! I almost forgot to include feelings which most definitely do not determine your sex.
Sanity still exists. It's shocking that a talk like this is even necessary. So grateful for Colin Wright. 👏
Your first Communist uprising??? Nothing new here. Research Weinmar Germany 1923. Promotion of immorality, homosexuality, cross-dressing and androgyny, pornography & licentiousness etc etc etc... There was a reason Hitler rose to power. He may have lost himself to the intoxication power and methamphetamine, but he knew who his enemies were.
Also research "Who were the Bolsheviks?".
"We defeated the wrong enemy." - General George S. Patton

I second that conclusion. 😎👍
Yes.
Yes. But sadly, this insanity is still spreading. Apparently, a school, or some schools are actually referring to boys as "sperm carriers", and girls as "egg carriers" in their sex ed. class. If this is true, parents really need to get their children away from this stuff.
In 100 years society will have forgotten all about the flat earth society.
But they will be laughing hysterically about educated people back in the 21rst century trying to figure out the difference between a boy and a girl.
ruclips.net/video/RgMiyp5bwrg/видео.html What about the hypothalamus?
I think they'd be more recoiling in horror how human animals ate the dead bodies of other animals even though they had the brain to understand the pain they cause and the technology to not do so.
@@wayfa13 I agree that death is horrific and so many animals are unnecessarily raised and butchered without human compassion. We would all be well served to recognize this. It is also a simple fact that for you (& I) to live REQUIRES death and not only death (and pain) of plants - despite any mental gymnastics we try to play to deny it. And, this death is a picture of what our rebellion against our Creator has caused. Yet, the God of compassion wants us to live full & meaningful lives worthy of this death.
The God, who made us all, has demonstrated true (self-sacrificial) love for us by coming down to live among us, restricting his own freedoms and rights (as GOD), living in obedient alignment with God's (his own) design for us, allowing himself to be mocked and unjustly condemned, whipped to the edge of life such that he was no longer recognizable, and dying a tortured death, even a humiliating, criminal's death on a cross. Then, Jesus proved that he can save us because he himself was raised from the dead! (see the extensive historical evidence). If Jesus had not paid the price of our rebellion, we would have no hope, only causing death and each ending in death. Thanks be to God, who made a way to pay the debt of our sin.
@@wayfa13 I love eating animals. They taste good with herbs and spices, mix in plants.
@@wayfa13 Absolutely laughable take. They would be "recoiling in horror" at the fact that human animals did what every other animal has done since the beginning of time? What they themselves are doing? The fact that you (willfully?) don't extend your line of thinking to its logical and absurd conclusion (that eating plants is also morally wrong) show just how much of a joke animal rights activists become when they take themselves too seriously.
Mistreating animals with unnecessary cruelty in things such as factory farms is wrong. Eating them is not.
Thank you for being brave and standing for reality.
What could be easier or more simple than the truth?
It takes no time to BE who you are, but it has taken time to forget
N n. N

Now to get rid of those pesky creationists
You mean brave and stunning..
How did we ever get so far from this truth? People's brains have fallen out of their heads. Such a shame that this presentation even needs to happen.
Um, this question is actually one that has always made me sad. There have always been a group of people in every society that denies reality. Some people are very easily fooled. It really is that simple.
Just one small historical example: even though it was very clear to a large majority of Germans that Adolf Hitler was a danger, there were still upwards of 30% of Germans that voted for the Nazi party in the 1930s. Every society has a significantly large minority that just doesn't have the thinking skills to discriminate between truth and fiction. This was as true during Roman times as it is right now.
Historically, the danger always comes when those that don't understand reality for what it is gain control in government. Once there, usually things play out very badly indeed. If you want to see some of this in action, I'll point to something most people have no awareness of.. the history of Liberia. Just go read that.. and you'll know how stupid things can be.
@@rbarnes4076 what are you talking about?
@@addiecoelman1996 I'm agreeing and adding detail to Maggie Muggin's original statement.
She was complaining that people can't accept the facts of basic biology. I agree, and pointed out that there have always been people in all societies that can't accept reality, and must make up other reasons that aren't based in fact. And some people are VERY easily fooled (hence my comment about 30% of Germans voting for Hitler in the 1930s, when most Germans could see what he really was).
And when those types of people get control of government, they tend to create chaos. The radical left has a lot of representation in the US government.. and the radical left has a LOT of individuals that can't accept reality for what it is.
When you let a tiger in the tent, don't be surprised when people get killed by it.
They made bigotry to disagree with Transgender Ideology and that shunt a lot of people down. Women how have been fighting this have been attacked, yelled at, protested and ignored by most media.
@@rbarnes4076 Yup. The classic case is the trump cult that just can't see the guy is a criminal grifter milking his "base'. And on the left are these leftist idiots who use terms of abuse for normality - "CIS gendered" and "TERF" for those who refuse to say a trans "woman" is not an adult female (actual woman). Two opposed sets of idiocy. No nuance, just two idiotic political camps. The two-party system is corrosive of reality.
I graduate from medical school in four days, and I have been assigned readings from medical news today, which had articles claiming sex, is a spectrum. So this insane idea has permeated highest levels of medicine and science.
What's crazy is how they use intersex folks, about 0.03% of the population as "proof" sex is a binary. This is like saying because albinos exists, we need to change everything.
I love this guy!! He's not left, he's not right, he's not pro or anti. H's just factual - and that is really difficult to find on the internet. With all the woo-haa about trans-gender ism, here is a clear voice amongst a cacophony of noise. Thank you sir!
Factual = the Right now. The Left is simply disconnected from any reality.
It's usually neoliberal conservatives versus neoliberal "progressives" in the public eye. Actual left-wing people often get left out of the conversation all together.
As John Gray explains The difference between men and women is that estrogen makes women too emotional or 10 times more emotional under stress......Testosterone makes men do problem-solving and suppresses the estrogen in his body at the same time. Therefore men are usually so cynical about females' emotions and they look like they never grew up, but it's biology, they don't do it consciously but subconsciously. Even though it looks like they do it on purpose....... I guess the humor and divine aspect make people use empathy and give each other space to understand each other. 🙂 .....When a woman is not in stress, she is calm and focuses better....So let's do some sports that make all of us in balance. 🙂 Music is also good therapy. 🙂
@@mchlle94 Are you saying that left wingers are now centarist with the binary conservatives and neoliberal progressives on the extremes? Where would you then place the ordinary conservatives?
@@alaalfa8839 I disagree with John Gray. I''m a psychologist. It is not that women are more emotional but that women express their emotions differently. Men can be just as emotional but testosterone makes men turn their emotions to more violent expressions. This is why men are more likely to commit suicide than women are and men are more likely to rape than women are and men are more likely to have mental illnesses than women are and on and on. That thing about "Testosterone makes men do problem-solving" is complete bullshit. (Women are more likely to attempt suicide but men will choose deadlier methods of suicide and are also more likely to commit murder/suicide taking other people down with them when they kill themselves).
Its incredible we actually have to explain these very basic biological concepts.
Totally Agree..
What's incredible about it? The American Government has been working hard for decades to create a placated, lazy, dumbed down, third world level iq populace, to 100% guarantee they'll never, ever fight back. They've succeeded in almost every way. Give it 10 more years max, and America will be the perfect slave nation.
It demonstrates just how effective the Marxist long march through the institutions has been--people have been fooled by a political ideology into denying physical reality.
Yes. Physically, men can become women as the body can be drastically altered using technology. Hormones are suprisingly effective in changing someone's physical appearance even just biologically.
Mentally, trans women were always women since they were born since the whole reason they are trans was that they were incorrectly born with a female brain in a male body when they should have been a female brain in a female body. Genetically, you cannot change your DNA to be a different gender on a genetic level. No trans person says you can do this. However, genetics isn't everything and isn't the end all be all.
Gender is a lot more complex that just someone's genetics and isn't entirely black and white. It also involves their brain (mental gender) and body (physical gender) both which are seperate from someone's genetics.
What determines someone's gender in this modern society, as we've discovered in recent years, isn't their genetics. It's not even their body, though that is still very important. It's their brain and if their brain is male, female, or intersex. Also, no trans person wants to "recruit kids."
No one is trying to do that, that's a baseless conspiracy formed in "gay recruitment theory" which is bullcrap and has always been. In a perfect world, no one would be trans as everyone would be born in their proper bodies. HRT is banned until 18 years and sex change operations aren't avalible until age 21 and at least 2 years on HRT. So no child is going through life-changing surgeries or medical intervention before they're able to. In some cases Puberty
Blockers may be used, which while more research certainly needs to be done on them, have mostly proven to be safe and effective in delaying puberty and have been used since the 70s to treat early onset puberty. It only become a problem for people once questioning, potentially trans kids started using them. And trans people aren't "going against women's rights." More rights for one group does not mean less rights for another.
Trans women being accepted in society and allowed to do what they want does not hurt women in every way, especially when it's not taken to a logical extreme. Trans people just want to recieve proper medical care and be free from hate and discrimination. It is 100% legal in a large majority of countries and states to fire someone or deny them medical care just for them being trans and it's also legal and sometimes even encouraged in many places to harass and bully trans people without consequence.
It's madness that this discrimination is still allowed. It isn't what Jesus would want. However, there is a limit I don't think trans women who aren't yet 2 years on HRT (which at that point they would nearly be fully biologically female) should share a locker room or compete with cis women, but after 2 years of HRT it's mostly fine. Bathrooms are a non-issue because nobody cares and is just there to take a crap.
No one is looking at each other's junk in there and honestly single-gender bathrooms are stupid anyways as the only difference is that the girls stall doesn't have urinals and is usually cleaner due to girls being less rowdy and gross.
The solution is easy: create multiple isolated single stall stations for families, nonbinary people, and not fully transitioned trans people in changing/locker rooms and get rid of separated bathrooms by gender and just make every bathroom gender neutral.
All your bathrooms in your own house are gender neutral so why do you need gender exclusive ones in public? It's all so stupid.
This needs way more traction and views than it currently has. Schools NEED to teach this!!! This video should be a mandatory watch in every highschool and unfortunately university and college too!!
In order for school to teach this, the school boards and elected officials have to be removed as most of them are pushing the narrative along with greed.
Unfortunately, what needs to happen first is that the activists need to be removed from the education system. The snake oil salesmen that are teaching this ideology KNOW that they are lying to our kids. It's not going to make any difference as long as they are being taught by ideologists.
I was actually felt like it was a waste of time, barely any details were given at all. I could’ve had those slides and just ad libbed that
um, schools do teach this? they always have.
@@Jaryism i feel the same way. not much to learn from this presentation.
Why is this insanity being pushed down our throats? It's quite simple
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.
-George Orwell "1984"
It wasn't so much that orwell was a prophet, it was he was in on the big Agenda.
Also, "transgenderism to transhumanism" by Martine Rothblatt. The trans millionaire, along with others who push this garbage. BIG money, and influence behind this agenda.
Why so many just go along with this garbage is beyond me. Well, not totally, because I know how powerful cults can be. And this has become a very socially acceptable cult.
Very unfortunately.
I find it sadly ironic, those that push the sex is whatever you think you are, have coopeted themselves as being "the party of science" while denying lab science every single day.
That's why they're now banning all of the pro-conservative books in Florida, like the ones where people express a mildly lesbian sentiment and don't have sex.
Small price to pay for achieving the final and total eradication of the gender binary, the patriarchy, and white supremacy, once and for all!
Great Speaker! Hit the nail on the head.

I really enjoyed both his graciousness and his clarity of thought.
The thought police are everywhere.
To hear that a former colleague has to denounce this lecturer is so reminiscent of Orwell in fiction and Mccarthyism in fact.
McCarthy was trying to fight the sort of people who believed in undermining society as the Marxists are doing today. McCarthy was right; the state apparatus was infested with Marxists. McCarthy has had his reputation destroyed by guess who, the left!
and thank god! The gender binary must be eradicated once and for all. The fate of the earth is at stake
McCarthy had nothing on these folks, he was a small time operator by any comparative measure..
This is downright despotic. Only, who actually is the despot..?
@@barbarakauppi9915 I would argue it doesn't matter, to us, who the despot is. The despot is going to exist no matter what. Factor the basics in this world equation: Finite length of time left on this planet + current technology + immense wealth and power spread among a few.. We can't do anything to the despot. The despot works to control all that which is necessary to control in order to achieve a desired outcome. The outcome is to answer the question of a space exploration pilgrimage. We can see an arm of the despot having meetings discussing world events under the context of things which the room has the power to change.. I would guess if the despot is looking at least 300 years into the future, there are many things which it can act on now and may necessarily need to act on now.. I'm always more obsessed with the thought of where the despot is going with things, because perhaps if I look close enough I could more or less "see the future" which we are all along for the ride. World population had long been a popular subject among MEGA millionaires or billionaires... We are finally reaching a point now, after years of seeing this subject float around, where the population is predicted to top out and possibly even decline at some point. It wouldn't surprise me if all this gender confusion is just a large portion of the newer 'brainwashing' being introduced into societies which these despot arms have the most immediate influence over.

Society has really regressed when we need phd scientists to drive home obvious truths.
Meanwhile in 2035:
"Hey, remember that time people thought sex wasn't real?"
Most people who talk about gender non-binary understand biological sex. The biological sex of human should be based on sex chromosomes, hormones and sexual antamony collectively. The main problem is that the sex of human mammals is usually determined at birth solely on what sexual antamony the baby possess , and not at the sex chromosomes,hormones and sexual antamony collectively.
I don't know whether to laugh, or cry.
The mental gymnastics that otherwise intelligent people will go through, to deny this basic, evidence-based truth, is insane.
If I hear one more person raise the 100% unrelated topic of (evidence-based) intersex conditions, when they're trying to validate (evidence-free) transgenderism, by brain is going to rupture...
@@marieblackbird89 lol, that is a complete red herring. (1) 99.999% of the time, chromosomes, hormones, and sexual anatomy DO line up (plz don't try to push that dishonest af, 500x inflated "2% of people are intersex" d0gshit. Women with hairy arms, and men with moobs ARE NOT "intersex", and re sexed just as accurate as anyone...)
And (2) even when there IS one those super-rare cases of GENUINE intersex conditions, these cases DO LITERALLY ZERO to validate transgenderism (despite the cynical way trans-activists CONSTANTLY try to politically exploit the medical tragedies of strangers...)
Intersex conditions are EVIDENCE-BASED; Every single one of the myriad of conditions, under the umbrella-term "intersex" is diagnosed based ONLY on 100% objective, evidence-based criteria... There are exactly ZERO intersex conditions that have ANY self-reported, psychological criteria for diagnosis...
Transgenderism is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE... it has literally ZERO evidence-based, physiological, observable criteria for diagnosis. diagnosis is based ONLY on subjective, UNverifiable, self-reported psych criteria. Physiologically, a transgender person is 100% PERFECTLY PHYSIOLOGICALLY IDENTICAL to a non-trans person of the same sex, according to EVERY evidence-based metric we know of.
Trying to validate transgenderism, by invoking intersex conditions is EXACTLY the same logic, and EXACTLY as valid as trying to validate a 60lb anorexic's belief that she's "obese", by saying "But LOOK!!! We have evidence that obese people DO exist!!! So I believe this 60lb woman TRULY IS obese... in some mystical,.pseudo-spiritual, never-actually-defined sense..."
You can't validate a """condition""" which has NO physiological manifestation at all, which is ENTIRELY behaviourally-diagnosed, by pointing to a condition (or group of... same diff..) which has NO behavioural manifestations, but is ENTIRELY physiological...
If you genuinely have (somehow?) been convinced that transgenderism has ANY physiological basis, you really need to think more critically, and start paying attention to THE ACTUAL EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE (or 100% absence thereof...).
The evidence very clearly demonstrates that transgenderism is a sociological phenomenon, NOT a medical phenomenon.
Transgenderism USES medical science, in the exact same way that body-builders, or cosmetic surgery patients USE medical sciences... But there is perfectly equal evidence (ie NO evidence) for body-building, cosmetic surgery collecting, and transgenderism RESULTING from any physiologically-based medical condition...
Of course, it's impossible to ever prove a negative, so body-building MAY be driven by some yet-undiscovered secret physiological condition...
Body-builders MAY have somehow "been born into the wrong body" in some mysterious way, such that they're really seeking out their "TRUE physique" by taking steroids and having synthol injections in their pecs... OR... it MAY be what the evidence SUGGESTS- 100% just a social fad for altering their body, for weird psychological reasons...
@@marieblackbird89 "The main problem is that the sex of human mammals is usually determined at birth solely on what sexual antamony the baby possess" -- the sexual anatomy of the baby is a correct marker of sex 99.98% of the time, and that is good enough for me.
What's really disturbing is that we actually spend time and energy entertaining the insanity that we all have seen in the past 5 or 10 years. Everybody knows the truth. Some people just pretend not to know, and they are not doing a very good job at pretending.
What happened is that compassion was craftily hijacked and weaponized against us. Many people who participated in this absurdity and insanity thought the delusion would remain with the group. But they were so wrong! Now they want to twist your reality. Who knows what they would want more now that they have men competing in women's sports? 😅
When you speak with people who are deranged, you sometimes have to accept that they are being sincere. I suspect that this is also the case here. What fascinates me about transgenderism is the anthropology it expresses. There is an inner "me" that is more "me" than the physical "me." Yet this inner "me" has sexuality it can only express through the outer "me" with which it can differ. This, we are assured, is the "scientific" stance.
If intolerant political ideologies continue to attack people's autonomy (sexuality, freedom of expression, civil rights; gay marriage etc), then you will see this sort of radical pushback. What you are calling insanity, I call willful ignorance (confusing biological sex with gender). But society _should_ entertain discourse on the matter because it's the social oppression that caused this in the first place.
A lot of those pretending not to know are afraid. People have lost their jobs for telling the truth.
Did it though? It came right AFTER same sex marriage was made legal, not before.
There's a huge difference between acceptance and capitulation.
Love that he called out trust in science he’s right if these activists speak louder than real scientists we are in deep trouble
With nursery school teachers believing and teaching toddlers about gender neutrality what else can you expect.
This is the equivalent of a physicist spending 43 minutes to explain that if you let go of an object it will fall towards the ground...
Unless it's a balloon or a pigeon.
Simple truths need to be repeated again & again in these times of obfuscation & relativism. Such truths -- however simple -- are the sunlight that disinfects.
HA! Truth
No Nobel Prizes have been handed out for the discovery of 'The Sex Spectrum'. It is wonderful to listen to Colin Wright debunking some of the fantasies and quackery around this subject.
Defending common sense is what happens when people think sociology is real science; lol. Good presentation….. but it shouldn’t even need to be made.

The question has always been not what a woman is, but what is trans?
Trans is not being happy with the biological sex you were born as. It doesn’t mean anything more than that, and other people’s unhappiness with their bodies is not my problem to fix.
🙏👏👏👍
Great point.
reality bites. You're right that should have been the end
"Chromosomes determine sex, they don't define it".
You know I never thought about it like that. And I agree, there's a distinction between define, and determine.
Well that's wrong. Chromosomes don't determine or define sex.
Genes do.
Its incredible we actually have to explain these very basic biological concepts.. Thank you for being brave and standing for reality..
This should be shown in schools

Inclusion does not mean to include lies. True differentiation does not mean exclusion.
Equality is taken to mean sameness, when the reality is that true equality is accepting we are different, but worthy of respect nonetheless. Sameness is a hatred of differences, which is like solving a housefire by teaching people to look away from the fire.
“Insidious” is the perfect word to describe the insane and unhealthy ideology permeating our society, schools and families.
I love FACTS. As a physician, I am appalled at the ridiculous ideas that there are more than 2 sexes. I only know that if you have a Y chromosome, you are a male (androgen insensitivity disorder is a hormonal problem and unrelated to sex.)
And does that rule hold in the entire animal kingdom without exception?
@@diamon4u It holds in the human kingdom without exception.
@@diamon4u Mammalian species are ALL binary male/female, and segments of each have physical disorders which do not invalidate the rule, they prove the rule by being the exceptions.

When I saw evolutionary biologist I almost didn't click on it because I figured it would be another lecture on how many genders there are and how they are fluid.
But... thankfully I reluctantly clicked on it.
This lecture gives me hope! I'm fearful for our children who are no longer learning real biology as given in this lecture, but are learning the new so-called "science."
God, this is so strange that these discussions are taking over everything.
It's not as if it was ever in doubt nor something that needed to be expanded on.
Whatever is happening it's captured huge amounts of our attention for little else but to deny or escape the pain of reality.

It's such a Disgrace that someone has to Explain the OBVIOUS.
Why must we break it down to the basics every time we try to fight this movement??? Everyone already knows all this information, it’s kind of redundant to always talk like a doctor these people don’t care, it’s a social issue, everyone knows what a woman is, we have to address this social problem, we have to convince people that living in reality is what makes the best society and life, we only have this problem because life is so good and so easy nowadays, now people invent problems for themselves and it’s a trend
I believe this whole Gender queer/Trans Theory nonsense was implemented on purpose by people in Power wishing to deconstruct the world as we know it and create a necessity for a New World Order governance that seeks to dominate mankind and make the world in their own image, to subjugate and control the masses. Always creating new problems and dividing us so we are so busy defending our beliefs that we fail to ever identify the real culprits behind it all, nor come together to overthrow the current overlords.
I agree with you, talks like these are redundant for most of us, the Trans Community isn't interested or invested in Objective Truth and Reality, they are high on the current power and attention they are getting in their protected Victim Class.
I believe God's Word, and our obedience to it is the only way we will regain structure and reclaim purity and truth in this Nation. Many would disagree with me, and that's okay.
God bless you friend!
Because of the billionaires' ongoing investment in this fiction. Look up 11th hour, Jennifer Bilek. This isn't a movement, it's an industry
Yes. So much time and energy wasted on this when we could've been solving real problems or focusing on things that actually matter.
While I agree with most of what you say, saying this in public gets you abuse, violence, slurs, doxxing, gaslighting, and coercion. The language must be taken back from those who wish to obliterate it to serve on the alter of trans ideology. There are far too many doctors infected with this cult crud, and they are drugging and mutilating children, that is abuse, trabz is a form of grooming and the real problem is the money in this industry and the captured who carry this out should be in jail
everyone already knows , but most dont have the guts to stand up to the lunatics and just say no , we are not accepting your bs delusions !
My brother and sister in law had a baby whose sex was unable to be determined at birth due to Trisomy 13 disease. We had to wait to find out the sex after she died. Guess what? There were still only 2 choices: male or female. She was female. How could you pull in a third choice or fourth? It’s ridiculous

Just upgraded to Colin's (paid for) Substack on the basis of having seen this courageous and very clear presentation. It should be required viewing in all schools and universities.
How nice of you to support his hobby of terrorizing children from support groups.
The lack of views on this is troubling, shows you how the scientific facts are literally being thrown aside for an agenda, so disgusting and so disheartening
ruclips.net/video/qF14BmfWw1k/видео.html
He is the one doing the gaslighting.
Honestly i was avoiding viewing this video because of the title. "Debunking Myths of Biology" sounds a lot more like newspeak than what the video actually represents. Made it seem like it would be full of quackery rather than logical facts.
@@whiskybrush3219 Me too! I thought the same.
You rock, Colin. You present a cogent, intelligent, and compelling description if this gender nonsense.
It is interesting that on the whole the comments after this video (as far as I have read) are congratulatory and in aggreement with the points made, I too largely agree. I recently listened to a video that was defending trans people from awful victimisation and the terrible and cruel behaviour of 'obviously' hateful people who dare to question trans ideaology , the comments following that video were likewise congratulatory and in agreement with the points made.
The thing that strikes me is how the algorythms siloe us all, ununderstanding of the others point of view rarely happens . Sadly the scientific points raised in this video will probably not be seen, understood or recognised by the people who are being most damaged by the myths regarding sex.
I have noticed the same thing. I believe it is by design. Once the system recognize you as pro something, you'll only be shown the pro videos, even-tho there are many anti videos with the same topic. This is not how the algorithm used to work. You usually get recommendations on anything related the topic you are searching, regardless if you are pro or against. as long as its on the topic. At least that's what I observes
This is making sure people live in echo chambers and don't get to exposed the opposite voice. Interesttingly you can see even in schools and universities, these woke folks have been conditioned to not engage in any discussion with their opposition. They will respond any attempt of engagement with scream, anger and harassment. You can see those who are still willing to engage usually find themselves shock at how easily they get refuted...a sign they are never get challenged in their opinion.
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing as well. I don't think there is anything we can do about it now, the platforms are not going to change. It's a sad situation.
Oh the siloing is absolutely real, it's an intentional part of the "personalized" marketing to drive up engagement.
To your other point it's possible to appreciate the reality of the sex binary, recognizing objective truths without bigotry, AND still support trans rights. I don't hate trans folks, I want them to live happy and healthy lives, but I also refuse to discard truth, facts, and science in order to protect sensitive feelings: a male cannot become a female, the Earth isn't flat, and god doesn't exist. Get over it.
It’s so insane that this has to be told to people. This knowledge is basically intuitive and it’s crazy how kids and some adults can become this brainwashed. It’s so hard to believe that anyone can deny this, it’s beyond comprehension
spend a decade in a public school these days
> This knowledge is basically intuitive
Its common human experience. Intuition is a random mixture of ideas, emotions,imagination, perceptions.memories. Hitler said race is inituited. Marx said economic class is intuited. Sometimes intuition is rational, sometimes not. But common human experience is mans primary contact w/reality. Its studied by philosophy.
Thanks, it seems like the world has gone mad lately! Its great to hear sanity and logic at work!
He is absolutely correct. Gender is proclaimed at the moment of conception. There are no arguments, that's when you are well on your way to being who you are.
"Sex is a binary system." How dare you? Where are my pearls? I must clutch them!
I hope this truth will be shared a lot. Thank you sir for your common sense expression of truth from a scientific point of view.
Well organized with good content. Trust in science DOES matter!
Folks need to understand that politics & funding $$$ is driving science.

We need more of this-especially from young scientists and other young intelligent, articulate people who are willing to discuss this in a rational and apolitical fashion. Dave Chapelle is doing his part (love love that guy) but it is great to see people talking about this outside of a political or overly heated context.
So Dave Chapelle is a scientist nowadays?

'Spectrum' is an advertisement for reassignment surgeries.
Mr. Wright you are a hero. Thank you for standing up for science and truth.
I love his politeness. Unlike trans activists, he sees a problem with telling women what they are.
I know the speaker has already mentioned this in the presentation and it tracks with what I learnt years ago in a biological science class (can't remember whether high school or university). From memory (many years ago, studying biology) my understanding of the classification/definition of the two sexes has to do with what's required to procreate - and that is male gametes or sex cells (spermatozoa) and female gametes (ova).
There's no 'third sex' that's required or can be used for human procreation. Secondary sex characteristics provide a visual signifier - but it's the primary sex characteristics - the gametes that are important.
EDIT: Actually, per what the speaker says - the chromosomes determine rather than define the sex.
Oh and by the way old bean forgot to mention I loved his lecture couldn’t agree with the Chap more well done Dr Wright, if you were British or from the Commonwealth I would put your name forward to Buckingham Palace for a Knighthood.
I love that he points this out in the beginning. This is all good and well. But speaking from experience. As someone who studied all this both through education and personal interest... you can spell all of this out clearly and coherently and it will not do anything to change their minds. There is something else going on there. I don't think they would be willing to say this on a public stage. But if we are being honest...what's going on there is mental illness. Mental illness is an inability to cope with or correctly perceive reality.
.
Fundamentally speaking
Depression - inability to cope with reality physically
Anxiety - inability to cope with reality mentally
Schizophrenia - inability to perceive reality
Split personality - inability to cope with and perceive reality
Bi-polar - inability to perceive reality through an unbiased lens
PTSD - inability to cope with reality, with inability to perceive reality in extreme trigger cases
Dissociative disorder - inability to cope with reality that leads to an inability to correctly perceive reality
Transgenderism - inability to cope with and perceive reality
The fact so many older adults with titles after their names are willing to completely destabilize & manipulate children & extremely unstable young adults is absolutely abhorrent.
And it's also what the "elite" have been doing to the "peasants" since the dawn of humanity. Only problem with our society is we're the first group of people not to simply kill our elite like everyone else throughout history.
Can someone make a list of the universities that push this rhetoric so I know where NOT to send my children if I want them to actually learn science. He mention Florida Univesity and I’m assuming anything in California but someone really needs to make a list.
On my farm, there are bulls and cows; there are billy and nanny goats; there are dogs and bitches; there are roosters and hens just outside our farmhouse walls.
I do not need to analyse their chromosomes to tell which is which, they manifest their differences without any influence from me psychologically or socially or politically.
My daughters and sons were raised in a family where both mother and father were working medical practitioners who did not do the colour coding of the baby clothing nor polarise the toys or books available freely around the house and on the extensive bookshelves.
What a wonderful man. I hope he has a thick skin because he will get such a lot of criticism, I imagine from a lot of delusional individuals. It pains me to say that schoolchildren are being fed delusions and that facts like these are being ignored. It is mad!
More people need to hear this guy speak.
What an amazing talk. Love Colin Wright. I find it amazing that some people spent hundreds of thousands of dollars (and are still in debt) to go to universities to study higher education and after all of it argue that anyone can be a woman, women can have a penis, and men can menstruate. 🤯
I'll not be naive and pretend that there isn't a social psychosis happening regarding human sexuality. Is it possible that what's being referred to IS identity assigned to each sex , as a societal construct. To question gender norms isn't new, and neither gender should be expected to conform to an imposed identity. How gender is exhibited, strictly from a biological perspective, IS simple.
This is even better than the You Can't Fly, You Don't Have Wings lecture.
DR. COLIN WRIGHT - thank you!!!❤❤❤
I can't believe I watched it and like the gentleman said , that he even has to do a talk about this subject!!.
I did learn new words tho😅
Good presentation 👏
I learned in 7th grade science class: 2 chromosomes determine sex. One is provided by each parent. The mother always supplies an X {because that's all she has) and the father supplies either an X or a Y. These form either the pair XX, in which case the offspring is female, or the pair XY, in which case the offspring is male. It's really that simple. In rare instances, one parent supplies both of their chromosomes, in which case the resultant offspring would be XXY, or possibly XXX. In even rarer instances, there could be XXXY, receiving both chromosomes from both parents. This generally results in sterility, or serious fertility issues. Also, instances of occurrence are 1:500-1000, so it's very rare. Also, there's a test for that. So why don't we use that test, and codify legislation around it? If someone "identifies" as something other than what seems obvious, why don't we just say "Well, let's do the chromosome test, and we'll abide by the results."? If they turn out to have Klinefelter syndrome (XXY), I don't have a problem with them choosing to identify as whichever they want. If they have no Y chromosome, then they're female. Transitioning children who have a normal XX or XY pair should be banned.
i totally agree. Leave children alone.
You’ve explained this very well, better than my 7th grade science teacher, in fact! I actually had a hard time remembering this and I use the phrase “XY, you’re a guy” to remember which is which, and while I knew there were certain variations, I didn’t remember what they were or how they came by them.
But unfortunately the surgeons (butchers ) treating these children aren't interested in what sex the child is. They're only interested in providing them with the visual aspect of a different gender, which of course doesn't change their sex . Let's see if Leah Thomas can conceive!!
What you say is generally correct, but not the whole story. The purpose of the SRY gene of the Y chromosome is to TRIGGER the development of the fertilized egg into a male, but it's the development itself, in the presence or absence of testosterone, that determines the embryo's sex. Without sufficient testosterone in the womb, the fertilized egg will develop as female irrespective of the presence of a Y chromosome. Gonadal development occurs in early pregnancy. High or low levels of testosterone or testosterone insensitivity will affect gonadal development and often results in intersex development of the fetus. The amount of testosterone in the womb in late pregnancy is also important. The presence or lack of testosterone will determine the sex of the brain. The sex of an individual is far more complex than the existence of a single gene at conception.
Klinefelters are male.
Love and acceptance needs to be accompanied by wisdom and civility. Is it wise to sterilize and change anatomy? Is it civil to impede upon private/ intimate spaces?
No, but that is what doctors did when someone's genitals didn't look right at birth. They guessed. And this is the LAB that we had to learn uh-oh "SEX" is not only your genitals and your ability to reproduce. You might be able to produce sperm but that does not necessarily mean you are male. OOPs. ruclips.net/video/RgMiyp5bwrg/видео.html
I can't remember who said it first but I always liked the thought experiment: If you had an island and on it you placed 100 men and 100 women, in 100 years there would be men, women, and children on the island. If you had the same island and on it you put 100 men and 100 transwomen, in 100 years you would have 200 skeletons.
Highly sympathetic media environment.
Couldn't agree more!
Sex is real; it's sexual *stereotypes* that are fake, and cause all the trouble. There are only two sexes, but their characteristics can vary wildly.
Stereotypes haver a reason to exist
What a beautifully presented eloquent lecture. How dispiriting that those who refuse to declare their pronouns can be prevented from job opportunities and promotions .

Biological sex is 2 billion years old...it literally predates the neurons needed for self-awareness/consciousness. Billions of years of dimorphic specialization matters.
I agree with what he says but sex and gender are the same thing and I know a lot of people say they’re not but it’s so arbitrary. They get personality mixed up with gender. No matter how you feel In your head and what delusions you believe it does not change your reality of being born male or female
Yes but how we express our sex is learned behaviour from societal norms. Females and males should be allowed to express their gender identity without being medicalised sterilised and mutilated for life. We need to accept true gender non conformity and then this madness will end- hopefully. We shouldn’t be forced into conformity by society.
We are living in a time where the idea that 'trans women are not actually women' is described as a 'belief'. How did this happen?
