"It's EXHAUSTING!" Piers Morgan Reacts To Sam Smith's Outrage About Gender
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2023
- Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by TalkTV contributors Esther Krakue and Paula Rhone-Adrien to discuss the outrage from singer Sam Smith after rallying for non gender-specific BRIT awards and then protesting that only male artists were voted.
Piers begins by explaining he is "exhausted" by Sam after the pop star came out as gay previously before announcing a non-binary identity, asking people to use the pronouns 'they/them'. Piers suggests that with the amount of new genders being discovered he should have the right to be referred to as his preferred pronoun: 'Hottest Man Alive'.

This generation is a laughing stock. It's embarrassing
The future generations will be worse !!
All humans are embarrassing & disgraceful. We should be wiped off the face of this crazy planet earth.
So confusing 😅
It's okay James. You'll be dead soon and the pain will all be over. Go gently.
Wait until this woke nation starts breeding 😂😂😂
I used to have a hard time with Pierce , but Lately it seems like hes asking the questions that need to be asked and using the platform that he has which is absolutely wonderful
all andrew tate g
His name is literally in the title of the video… how can you still misspell it🤦🏼♂️
Andrew tate fixed him lmao
He was always like this...not just lately
Piers*
I gained a whole planet of respect for Piers..after watching this.
Thank you, Piers!!.
I'm happy piers has a platform to say what we the 99% all want to say
"There's someone in the elevator. I wonder what floor they are going to."
We all use singular, gender neutral pronouns all the time. Piers is playing dumb. I'm unhappy if 99% of people are genuinely too dumb to understand pronouns.
99%??? What small minded world do you live in?!
Including promoting harmful vaccines and demonizing anyone that stood against it?.. I actually agree with him on this particular Sam Smith subject but the guy is an absolute scumbag the way he pushes agendas without no actual real knowledge
If you are unhappy get off this planet
@@cesnav7593 reality
She contradicts herself so many times it’s hilarious
Piers?
@@timbpmusic the woman
@@timbpmusic yes Piers.He’s a POS
That's what these "rights activists" do all the time and never admit it.
@@timbpmusic obviously not considering he's not a woman and "herself" is a feminine term.
PIERS SAYS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE THINKING.. YOU GO PIERS.
Unfortunately he shouts it over guests and repeats himself ad nauseum.
Not always he goes with what suits him at the time and luckily for him a lot of people are really dumb and have the memory of a goldfish
HELLO MARGARET, JUST USING CAPS SO YOU CAN HEAR ME. PIERS IS A VERY NICE MAN AND I'M GLAD YOU LIKE HIM ALSO. WARM REGARDS.
He called himself a cnt?
No he doesnt, hes too scared to go the whole way so he doesnt completely go against these freaks
As a Canadian woman in my fifties I am exhausted as well. This culture of “today I’m this ,tomorrow I’ll be that “ is ridiculous. The people that identify as one gender are the majority in this planet . We need to be respected as well not to be forced to alter our vocabulary just because the minority want to be respected . I never used those preferred pronouns because I’m just not comfortable using them and that doesn’t mean I’m a bigot . Some friends and family don’t understand my faith in proclaiming Jesus is my lord and saviour , it doesn’t mean im going to make a big fuss and call them ignorant and disrespectful. They are right to their opinions and I wouldn’t want them to be uncomfortable being forced to engage in conversation about Faith.
I’m 26 and this whole cancel culture/woke movement, multi-gender society makes me sick 🤮
Exactly, I'm not religious but I don't demand you have every opinion that I do and have the exact same values as me and if you don't you are bad, no.
As long as our values are close enough that I treat you as I wish to be treated we can get along and have a great difference of opinions.
These woke lobby people aren't happy unless you believe EVERYTHING they do and treat them much better that you should except to be treated by them, they expect extra special treatment, extra special rights, extra special respect while at the same time telling you how bad a person you are and how you aren't special because you're cis, to use their word, it's BS.
How can you have sexism when there are no genders?
Piers is absolutely right.
No he is not
@@whitleybayman123 yes he is
Ofc he is right the whole thing is dumb if you make it gender neutral you will either have more men or more women.
Having separate categories was fine why do these people have to ruin everything for women that is the issue to be a biological women these days means nothing it has no meaning anymore.
A woman now is what anyone feels and its just not true.
Should be the XX rewards and the XY rewards sorted
@@whitleybayman123 Tell us why he is wrong?
This is what happens when the lunatics run the asylum. They their, nonsense.
This obsession with SELF entitlement is what is concerning the most.
I am glad there are people like Pierce around to confront this bizarre generation and there ideas
What we need to do is to stop the BS!🛑
The fact that she called Sam Smith “him” is testament your brain will always revert to logic no matter the nonsense you force to feed it 😂😂. You know you’re look at a man it’s a natural inclination to say him, you know “they” is plural.
I don't care what Sam smiths pronouns are, he may identitfy as a twat, pregnant fish.
They isn’t always plural. If police have a suspect they don’t know any details of, the phrasing would be “the murderer dropped their weapon in the bin, and they ran into the forest.”
@@Evanz111 and you felt the need to mention this why? Ever heard of a little thing called “context”
@@Evanz111 that is true. That is when you don't know of the person, or the person is an abstraction.
We know Smith, he is a man. You would hence refer to him as "he".
@@brogad5724 Because the comment ends with saying “you know “they” is plural” which it isn’t always. I can’t stand Sam Smith, but I disagree with people saying they is too unnatural to use for other people.
This is the beginning of a very bad society up ahead … a society based on emotions and not facts is disturbing
Don't worry, once climate change, war and the dwindling economy start to really hit us, there will be no time for this nonsense. There's only time now because life is so privileged that people are bored. Once the lights go out and there's no food, no one will be arguing about pronouns!
Not sure how else a human life can be created, last time when I've checked only the womb of a female can keep and grow a fetus.
That's the miracle of life and its a fact, the rest it's politics, division, marketing.
Some of us just forget how we arrived on this planet.
I respect everyone, no matter of our gender/identity but those are the universal laws of nature.
In this modern society It's already difficult for females to get pregnant and have at least one single healthy baby.
By the way Sam Smith has a gourgeous voice, talent, but let's respect the laws of nature.
No it isn't. I agree it's currently insane but it will balance back out again. In the next few years they'll be a trickle then a torrent of law suits.
I don’t know if I agree with this. I think the woke culture is starting to die off because everyone is fed up and we are finally starting to not let them control everything. The problem is that it’s gonna take time because we allowed to get to such a bad point.
"They" will never win.
I love it how Piers always gets one person who agrees with everything he says and they both rubbish the other guest 😂😂
"Theres no woke war, you're just exhausted"😂
Thank you Piers
I’m so sick of this woke shit it’s absolutely ridiculous I won’t be calling anyone they them it or whatever anytime soon so sue me cancel me I don’t care, I can’t believe this is actually something we arguing about.much love from a real woman from South Wales 🏴 ❤

She literally proved his point.
Piers you are speaking for the majority of us, who have been bullied out of having a voice because the woke bullies shout and scream all the time.
Sorry mate, can you type this again? I couldn't read it because you've been bullied out of having a voice.
Well said

This is ridiculous!
Totally agreed with everything Piers said! 😂
Piers went from snot and eggyolk to the voice of reason in just a few years. My God, how the times have changed.
What a crazy world we live in.
Why should everyone bend over backwards to pretend someone's fantasy is reality?!?! If he's confused about his identity that's on him!
Ty!!!
You have a point. I let him be on a journey of his self discovery without forcing the rest of the world to be active on that journey
Why are we going out of our way to go with peoples fantasies? Well I mean it worked really well for people who believe in God.....what's the different?
They are even forcing it upon primary school children now to accept it as the norm or be punished
@@mason4966 It's not one or the other though. It doesn't always have to be pepsi vs. coke. I'm not a fan of people forces their religious beliefs on others either. I believe in equality of thought, which seems to be the only type of equality which isn't discussed by the 'progressive types'
I don't have a problem with someone going on a personal journey and discovering themselves. What I have a problem with is these people dragging everyone else into their journey and forcing us into trying to keep up with their personal journey. We all have to operate under certain societal structures, so why do some people feel like they're exempt from it?
And yet here you are watching Piers. What a curious paradox.
Well said Katy
“We need to operate under certain societal structures” - exactly. You hit the nail on the head. The question is who decides that? Think 💭 😊

You must respect what they want you to call them... but you are "just being silly" if you ask them to call you what you want to be called???
The worlds gone mad!
Why hasnt anyone yet asked what is the logic behind referring to a person as “they/them”. I wanna see them just trip in their own arguments
Every time a woker says 'we need to have this conversation' an angel loses its wings.
They don’t really even want to have any conversation actually, just bloviate and confuse the youth into their extreme ideology
"Woker"? The word "woke" is to right wingers is what "racist" is to left wingers. It's lost all meaning and is just a buzzword to shut down the conversation before it starts.
That phrase is annoying me too
People can be idiots! Thanks for keeping it sane Piers.
Guess you don’t think you’re an Idiot.
This lady needs to get it straight .in plain ENGLISH Born as a Man you have a Penis...... Born as a Woman you have a Vagina Period !!!!!! BORN A MAN DIE A MAN ..BORN A WOMAN DIE A WOMAN ...ALL THOSE PEOPLE HAVE MENTAL ISSUES......
For 1000 years, They = plural
Today onwards, They = singular… 😂
Couldn’t agree with piers more haha I love how worked up he is , everyone is woke all of a sudden and he’s the voice of the people everyone else in the media is afraid to speak their mind because of cancel culture but piers goes against them repeatedly. Respect
I don't think everyone is woke. I think it's a minority that's really loud.
@@nabilellaji6509 true
@@nabilellaji6509 just like Pierce. He is a very loud man who makes it seem as if the entire world is becoming non-binary. It's two small camps shouting really loudly over things that make no impact.

I used to hate Piers But im sorry the more i listen to him the more i like what he is saying
I hated him when he was at CNN , pushing their agenda. When he's free to say what he wants then I like him and think he has common sense and he's witty.
Even an absolute prick can make valid points some of the time. It’s still ok to hate Piers though.
I've always loved Piers, he says it as he see's it, and for the most part, I always agree.
It's almost like he's affirming your views which makes you feel good. What a wild journey.
I was just thinking the same!
Piers: stay strong! Don’t bow to the idiocy! These freaks can go on as many journeys as they wish but we don’t have to go along for the trip.
Exactly! These freaks! They're weird and they shouldn't be allowed in our country, Catholics and atheists and Muslims and gays and all these women wearing trousers! Oh sorry I may have gotten off track, which freaks?
And yet here you are, frothing at the mouth about something which has zero impact on your life. Powerful story, Minnie.
@@OGMillwood it's having a very real and heartbreaking effect on very young people being encouraged to doubt and question themselves on every level possible!

Who would have thought Piers Morgan would be the voice of reason in 2023???
Only in an age of unreason can Piers be a voice of reason. Hence he sounds reasonable.

No Cathy, he says it as you like to hear it. Please understand the difference.

Human: What is the baddest thing about TERFs?
ChatGPT AI: The most concerning thing about TERFs is that they obstruct trans rights and promote the exclusion of trans people from the wider community. TERFs actively advocate for denying transgender people their rights, and contributing to a hostile environment for trans individuals. Many TERFs also have deeply rooted anti-trans biases and harmful beliefs about gender identity and expression. Such beliefs can do great harm to transgender people and the wider LGBTQ community.
@@cathyjoenganje3978 you're absolutely right.
@@OGMillwood so you are denying everything that has been built for the past thousand years 😂
Piers speaking for the majority of real people here. We want to respect that community, but their demands are becoming ridiculous. I want them to live their life, and I want to live mine. Simple.
There's the truth (minority of people experiencing otherwise) and there is an agenda = a push from society and media to the masses. People will never be okay with this thing until they realise the difference between these two

As a “ gay man” can we just be ourselves, respect each other and move on without having to add unnecessary labels. Who cares about the little things just move on with life.
Love this
I think - by and large , labels are for people with mental health issues . I am not being flippant , I truly believe that , and avoid such people when and wherever ever I can.
Don’t identify yourself as a gay man, I’m not interested in what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom. I don’t “identify” as heterosexual and white, I just am, and I don’t ram it down anyones throat. One’s character is what counts, and “identifying” is designed to draw the eye away from weak and bad character.

Fantastic, good man Piers 🦸♂️
The woke war is beyond real. I've seen people who argue about who struggled harder. Who has it tougher. Different groups are starting to fight with the groups they once agreed with. Its embarrassing
On my facebook recently an ad popped up on the side to take a quiz to "find out how oppressed you are". The oppression olympics yay!
... at work employees are sent a list of how to identify as being the person that struggle the most or the least. And apparently the white male is the least oppressed one!
It's crazy all white man are targeted now just based on the gender identity and skin colour at the place of work!
Next: white male will start declaring themself something else and start some aesthetic/medical procedures to look less "white" and less of a male.
Competency and hard work doesn't matter anymore? Let's see who is going to do some work!
Life it's tough, that's how we grow, become better of what we do! That's how we managed to stay alive on this planet!

Go on Piers! We are with you.
Piers makes all valid points and still she refuses to genuinely listen to him and take in what he's saying. She basically goes into this discussion with a close mind because she has this false sense of belief that she's always right about everything she says and she can't be wrong, that ego is going to come back to bite her and it represents many people, not just her that are like that. And you can tell Piers is listening to her because he responds to her and shows her where he agrees with her and where he doesn't and he gives explanations to where he doesn't agree with her.
Exactly right.
Mate she's mad doesn't know her arse from her elbow 😂
Zealots won't accept anything that interferes with their ideology. The woke are no exception.
in fairness Piers wasnt really listening to her and I completely disagree with her stance
I think Piers needs to directly ask her why sex/gender is malleable but age, race,species, height etc are not according to her and Sam Smith
I'm with Piers on this.

“They” are sick!
I saw a clip of a old soldier crying and saying this is not what we fought for.... I felt that.
I once had no time for Piers. Today after seeing this I realise I was wrong in doing so. Our so called modern world has gone absolutely crazy. Please take me back to my childhood.
Let’s hope people see common sense and we get there eventually 🤞
There is man and woman. The rest is just a load of bollocks
Don't we have intersex? People naturally born with male genitalia and female chest organ thing...though they technically are still male and female. So yh there are only 2 genders then. I am just waffling.
Actually working bollocks are only on a man 🤣
In a nutshell.end of.
I'm a woman, I'm a feminist, and I agree with Piers on the both topics. The pronouns and the award shows.
Here’s a history lesson in the use of singular “they” which goes back all the way back to the middle ages (courtesy of the Oxford English dictionary):
The Oxford English Dictionary traces singular they back to 1375, where it appears in the medieval romance William and the Werewolf. Except for the old-style language of that poem, its use of singular they to refer to an unnamed person seems very modern. Here’s the Middle English version: ‘Hastely hiȝed eche . . . þei neyȝþed so neiȝh . . . þere william & his worþi lef were liand i-fere.’ In modern English, that’s: ‘Each man hurried . . . till they drew near . . . where William and his darling were lying together.’
Since forms may exist in speech long before they’re written down, it’s likely that singular they was common even before the late fourteenth century. That makes an old form even older.
In the eighteenth century, grammarians began warning that singular they was an error because a plural pronoun can’t take a singular antecedent. They clearly forgot that singular you was a plural pronoun that had become singular as well. You functioned as a polite singular for centuries, but in the seventeenth century singular you replaced thou, thee, and thy, except for some dialect use. That change met with some resistance. In 1660, George Fox, the founder of Quakerism, wrote a whole book labeling anyone who used singular you an idiot or a fool. And eighteenth-century grammarians like Robert Lowth and Lindley Murray regularly tested students on thou as singular, you as plural, despite the fact that students used singular you when their teachers weren’t looking, and teachers used singular you when their students weren’t looking. Anyone who said thou and thee was seen as a fool and an idiot, or a Quaker, or at least hopelessly out of date.
Singular you has become normal and unremarkable. Also unremarkable are the royal we and, in countries without a monarchy, the editorial we: first-person plurals used regularly as singulars and nobody calling anyone an idiot and a fool. And singular they is well on its way to being normal and unremarkable as well. Toward the end of the twentieth century, language authorities began to approve the form. The New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998) not only accepts singular they, they also use the form in their definitions. And the New Oxford American Dictionary (Third Edition, 2010), calls singular they ‘generally accepted’ with indefinites, and ‘now common but less widely accepted’ with definite nouns, especially in formal contexts.
Not everyone is down with singular they. The well-respected Chicago Manual of Style still rejects singular they for formal writing, and just the other day a teacher told me that he still corrects students who use everyone … their in their papers, though he probably uses singular they when his students aren’t looking. Last Fall, a transgender Florida school teacher was removed from their fifth-grade classroom for asking their students to refer to them with the gender-neutral singular they. And two years ago, after the Diversity Office at the University of Tennessee suggested that teachers ask their students, ‘What’s your pronoun?’ because some students might prefer an invented nonbinary pronoun like zie or something more conventional, like singular they, the Tennessee state legislature passed a law banning the use of taxpayer dollars for gender-neutral pronouns, despite the fact that no one knows how much a pronoun actually costs.
It’s no surprise that Tennessee, the state that banned the teaching of evolution in 1925, also failed to stop the evolution of English one hundred years later, because the fight against singular they was already lost by the time eighteenth-century critics began objecting to it. In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much. More recently, a colleague who is otherwise conservative told me that they found singular they useful ‘when talking about what certain people in my field say about other people in my field as a way of concealing the identity of my source.’
Former Chief Editor of the OED Robert Burchfield, in The New Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1996), dismisses objections to singular they as unsupported by the historical record. Burchfield observes that the construction is ‘passing unnoticed’ by speakers of standard English as well as by copy editors, and he concludes that this trend is ‘irreversible’. People who want to be inclusive, or respectful of other people’s preferences, use singular they. And people who don’t want to be inclusive, or who don’t respect other people’s pronoun choices, use singular they as well. Even people who object to singular they as a grammatical error use it themselves when they’re not looking, a sure sign that anyone who objects to singular they is, if not a fool or an idiot, at least hopelessly out of date.
Thank you Piers. Never change.
So many these days back peddle and apologise these days whilst the world goes to crap
Does "back peddle" mean the same as backpedal? To me (and the dictionary), to peddle means to sell something, so I guess back peddle means either the selling of backs or un-selling something. I'm not trying to be a grammar notsee(sic). I'm just trying to make sure I understand what you are writing.

Turns out just because you believe something in your brain, doesn't make it true, and you can't force others to pretend it is
😂😂😂 You're wrong for that if you really went to the bank and said that but I agree 💯 percent!😂
Piers: "Can you apologize to they?"
That had me, hahahaha.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They who? 😂
"Hotest man alive" ahahah I just love Piers! One of the few people on media with common sense ahaha
Why did Stevewilldoit get cancelled but this guy can say whatever he wants uncensored? Makes a lot of sense RUclips
I'm so sorry you Brits are dealing with this absolute bullshit. My heart goes out to you.
I am with Piers on this!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Don't you feel ridiculous calling a single person "them"?"
No because we've been doing it since the 1300s. look it up, it's acceptable in the English language.
Really
I absolutely refuse to call an individual person by a plural pronoun!
First she says that Piers has to keep up with the made up gender identities and that he is struggling 3:26 Then she struggles to keep up with Piers identity as Hottest Man Alive 5:17 These people contradict themselves so much that they seem delusional and need to seek therapy.
Piers please dont become exhausted.. you need to go on with this”discussions” in order to show the world how ridiculous this is and best picking up examples like the prison case or sports or medical treatments etc
Exactly!!! Thank you Piers. I myself self-identify as a non-binary Hobbit!! If "they" can do it, why not me!!😂
Mr. Morgan is Right... People are too free now days such that they don't know what to do with their FREEDOM....
I'm so tired of this. Screwing up with our children's minds, confusing them and putting in danger their future.
Most controversial thing you could say in 2023 is... men can't have menstrual cycles
Most controversial thing you could stay in 2033 is... The sky is blue. You cannot say this because you're excluding the colorblind community as for some people the sky is red or purple.
hahahahaha thx u sooooo much thx thx thx
😂😂😂 this is hillarious 🤣🤣
Hahaha men wouldn't want a bloody menstrual cycle they couldn't cope with the pain
@@pebbles8677 so true!!🤣🤣🤣
Wow, what a world we're now living in. I can't believe she just apologised for referring to Sam Smith as 'he'. People are going too far with all this crap and we need to get back to basics and call shit for what it really is. Gone with the woke and in with the real is what I say!!
@@kanttouchthis3716 how would they know?
People being themselves is woke? Weird
@@jacob4690 Non-heterosexual marriage was just in jeopardy not too long ago, yet we are more concerned with pronouns. If Americans would be better at picking their battles, instead of complaining and whining and people pleasing on every little thing, then maybe we wouldn’t be having serious right being challenged. Still illegal to be gay in MANY countries RIGHT NOW.
“What do you mean, THEY? …. Paula?” Lol
“Fisherthem” 😂
I am a gay 60 year old man and I can't get my head around all these new sex terms . Call me old fashioned ... I suppose if I was a young teenage confused boy growing up today I may be tempted to call myself non binary . Never liked the word Queer, never really liked gay. Called a poof or fairy at school in the 70s . Times are always changing but even faster since social media. It's hard being an old queen ! XX. PS....and queen is not a derogatory term just old fashioned camp !
Do you have a happy marriage??
It’s hilarious when they put themselves into a corner and immediately contradict their own agenda.
She said that we have to call Sam Smith they in order to show our respect to what they want to be called, yet when Piers asks to be called something that he wants, she says it's ridiculous. Where is the logic in that? How about we call people by their NAMES.
"Because changing a name doesn't change the discrimination"
So she accepts that there are only 2 genders since there would be discrimination. Thank you!
Love Piers he says what we all think xxx
Who's this 'we'?😁
