I was someone who was an insecure young teenager because I did not feel "girly" enough. In those days there was no such thing as transitioning, and I am so glad there wasn't. If there had been I probably would have started the process of transitioning from a female to a male. In the end, all it took was me accepting the fact that I was simply a "Tom-boy" in those early adolescent years who liked doing all the guy things, and was more comfortable in pants than I was in a dress. Today, I am a happily married women (to a man) with two grown sons. So with that said, I think what JP is trying to say is that we need to stop telling young "Tom-boy" girls that they are really boys in stuck in a girls body. And we need to stop brainwashing their young little minds into believing they need to start transiting to feel good about themselves. Instead maybe all they need to do is simply wait to see how things play out once they have grown out of that terrible insecure adolescent stage.
I have yet to see any widespread evidence where health professionals, parents and adolescents involved make such a decision regarding sex/gender/surgery/medications rashly. Tomboy girls are not rare and this issue is not about misunderstanding such girls nor misunderstanding young men who have obvious feminine traits. I am not convinced there is a coordinated effort to brainwash young ones towards changing their gender. I do believe the stigma and vilification of these people has lifted somewhat, they are able to speak openly, assert rights and not be discriminated against. I also think exploration of the gender spectrum, sexual conduct, change and new tolerance is a much needed quality in society which this topic promotes.
This was your story. The issue is not being a “Tom-boy” is a literal feeling of not feeling the sex you were meant to be. It is NOT a stage... this is not even an issue! There are more issues for kids/teenagers not being able to identify with their sex to be. There’s a process that the child/teenager has to go through with many doctors. It’s their choice.
@@BlahblahblahblahblahblahblahFU being alike to something doesnt mean you are that 1:1 the same and that's what Tom-Boy means, alike, not the same, you need to go back to basic linguistics
@@LARESCIV I need to go back to basic linguistic... in an argument of sexual identities! Your an idiot!

I am gay and Jordan gets it when he says "LGBTQ is not a community" That is the truth. I am gay and I am not part of LGBTQ. I am an individual with my own beliefs and thoughts and it is often contrary to the beliefs of LGBTQ. I just happen to be gay.
This gay man agrees. It was important to me in the 70s, 80s, not so by 90s. It got more 'edgy' for me .. NAMBLA, other stuff. Haven't been to one in over 20 years. Maybe I'm old and grouchy but would never take kids to one. At least not in SF, LA.
NO! You ARE part of "it." And, you didn't just "happen" to "be" gay. You "chose" homosexuality as your preferred lifestyle, no different from a women who chooses to be a lesbian or a man a gigolo and so on. Trans is a grossly dysphoric psychological condition where the focus is entirely different, a rejection of one's own physical being. Very sad. The most obvious evidence is that LGTBQ+ individuals demand that "others" embrace, not just accept their dysphoria. My response is to quote Dr. Peterson: "You can go to hell in a hand-basket."
^^^^. This. I would pay extra to have Kyle and JP go back and forth like this on multiple topics. I’m very impressed by Kyle here. Very (And I disagree with him on almost everything …very much)
@@destroytheboxes everything Peterson said that was clinical went completely over Kyles head. Another clinical psych needs to ask JP these questions not a journalist that knows nothing about the DSMV.
I agree with you but it’s also sad that just having/posting a conversation now a days is brave. Conversations like this need to be had everywhere with open ears by everyone.
My daughter is 14 and wants top surgery and it’s maddening because she’s shown no signs of being trans or gay until very recently and it really feels like she’s hopping on a crazy trend and we’re having fights about it. It sucks for parents.
Obviously I don’t know how at this point you’ve discussed things with them. But I think a compromise could be offered if it hasn’t already. Binders could be a relatively good compromise as long as they’re used in a safe way along with the usage of sports bras, undershirts etc. I would also add that a component could be respecting how they want to be called if it’s different than how they’re already being called. Like using son or referring to them as a he. Even if you feel internally that they’re still your daughter. I would also give them the space to understand that they can explore this without it being a commitment and can change if they feel they want to. If we look at as in they are trans and they really do feel that way then not offering any compromises could be cruel and hurt your relationship even more. Or on the other hand if they feel like they might like this way better than how they are now offering comprises may help them get closer to what they feel they desire. They try it out and know that maybe this isn’t for me and change back to female pronouns etc. On the note of surgery again I have no idea how you’ve talked about it but I would state that there are many surgeons that won’t operate on young trans or even older trans people until they show signs of body dysmorphia for around 3-4 years. I would also note that if they are trans while their breasts may be a big point of dysmorphia, surgery will be just as effective at any age. I would note that this feels really new to you that surgery is a huge commitment and I would advise saying how you feel really uncomfortable with this aspect and you love them but you aren’t comfortable with surgery at this stage and instead offer in other ways (binders, undershirts, pronouns, maybe a short haircut etc.) to help explore this side of them they want to change. It’s also good to inform them of the risks of binding and help them make that decision if they even want to go there. I hope I could offer some advice. My own personal experience when I was a teenager at one point I cut my hair very short and started dressing very masculine and I had never heard of a trans person. But I did stick out a bit and felt weird in regards to femininity what was expected to be feminine and a woman and masculinity. I just was at a weird space I was around 15. However I never felt that I was stuck in the wrong body but I did have a desire to fully dress up as a guy sometimes. I watched a video later about someone transitioning to be transgender and I cried and thought that could be me however 2 days later I realized that it wasn’t. And later on in that year I was misgendered as male and it didn’t feel right or comfortable. I guess at that time I was reestablishing my feelings about expectations and gender presentation. It took me a while but I slowly over the years dressed as more feminine and dissociated feminine clothing as being an entirely very womanly woman. I knew right away pretty much that it didn’t feel right. So I think it’s best to let them explore and I think they will come into their own and figure things out.
Ma6be connect her with the detrans network where she can hear another perspective? There are a lot of young women there who feel mislead by the clinics and she might relate to their warnings
She's being brainwashed by the cult of her friends that aren't really her friends. She is too young to even have her own Smart Phone, much less be discussing things like this. Smart Phones are a direct plug to the mind virus going around now, and I'm a former Geek that loved Tech and used to promote "Information wants to be free!" but even I have seen what Social Networks are doing to young peoples minds.

Though I disagree with Kyle and agree with Dr. Peterson, I do think that Peterson got a bit heated and I appreciate that Kyle kept his cool and stayed respectful. I have a lot of respect for him for that
I found Kyle to bit a bit more snarky instead of respectful. Peterson did seem to snap at him every once in a while though. Even so, great conversation to watch and look forward to more
Even the sudden "realization" by millions of Californian kids that they "must be gay" is part of the peer pressure based on the artificially created gender madness.
He should be heated. After all it's kids we are talking about. They are impressionable and we as adults have a responsibility to protect. The left have this idea that kids will save adults. Thats never happened in any ancient society or after for a good reason.

You can tell that he will say just about anything to promote himself, and win popularity. These are the people that used to be these born-again preachers in the 50's and 60's, they are con men, that produce nothing except false hope, and earn a living by talking garbage, and seeming smart. Then they are caught in the back of a limo with a prostitute. It is the BLM leader with the million dollar houses. We need to stop giving these people air to breathe. Let's promote instead the mother with 10 kids making their packed lunch in the morning before she goes to work. Let's applaud the farmer up at 5am, working to feed us all. I can't like a society that deems all men toxic, and when little boys say, "I don't want to be toxic", they surgically alter them.
As a therapist who has worked with a client who regretted making and early decision about transitioning with surgery and hormones we do have to look at the harm in these procedures at young ages. They are life time decisions you can’t just change back. And it’s a big deal to take hormones and the effects on the body.
You aren't saying anything, you are just concern trolling about trans people and feeding into Jordan Peterson's moral panic. What solution are you actually advocating for?
Which is why Sweden and Norway have banned these procedures on kids. Past the age of 18, I don't give two shits what you do with your body. When you start doing it to kids, I've got a problem with that.

I love that someone so educated can sit there and think about a question publicly then just be bold enough to say “I don’t know” and genuinely mean it. There’s no ego here
The answer is "yes" but the ramifications of saying that would be disastrous especially in America where they celebrate Ultra liberalism and Hedonism. America is so morally bankrupt got any restriction on "freedom" is seen as anathema. The fact that gender reassignment surgery exists is Testament to how obscene and degenerate your Society has become
The answer is pretty simple. Abolish gender completely. The reality is that gender is made up, as much as 'race' is - and is just as meaningful/less. Gender is cultural / social / fashion. I think people are less likely to undergo surgery if they are allowed to present as one gender and retain their original genitalia - it follows logically. The definition of man and woman should not be about penises and vaginas.
We need more conversations like this, even if it gets heated yet still remains civil (no cutting into each other with personal insults or escalation past that). What we don't need is when someone tries to shut down the entire conversation by saying that the other's words lead to violence.
Debates don't do anything. The best way for right wingers to stop hating trans people is for them to actually know people who are trans and understand and have empathy for them, debates don't help that. Jordan Peterson is never going to change his mind about anything. You can see from how defensive he was and how he tried to change the subject whenever Kyle pressed him.
@@danielshepard1449 good arguments and coherent definitions of commonly used words within the ideology would probably also help. And honesty. Religious assertions like “transwomen ARE women” need to stop. Frame the issues accurately.. calling ppl bigots or telling them they are causing “violence” bc they don’t adhere to your religious tenets isn’t fair.. as long as they respect gender non conforming people and allow them to live their lives in peace.
@@danielshepard1449 I don't think public debates like this are designed to change one participant's mind or the other, but to create a space for the discussion to take place and expose the audience to different views.
I'm an ex trans woman. Medically transitioned, and lived as a woman for almost 4 years. I found it to only be a mental illness, and it should not be encouraged. But I do believe adults should have the right to do what they want with their body, BUT with access to unbiased information to make an INFORMED decision. We do not have that now. We have subjective and misrepresented information being peddled by the medical and academic communities, and both children and adults are making harmful decisions because they are told it is medically necessary.
I can speak first hand on this. My daughter was a socially awkward kid much like I was. When the “scene” phase hit schools I followed that trend and grew out of it. But tight pants and goofy hair didn’t have any long term adverse effects, besides some ribbing later on. Now this transgender and identifying with your pronouns has hit the schools; and my daughter has followed suit. One day it was she was weirded out by her peers. Then she said she was pan and gained some more friends. When her first friend came over it was clear what was going on. These are just awkward kids looking to fit in. Now my daughter is talking about hormone blockers. Her mother is unquestioning and supports her. Meanwhile I’m absolutely terrified she has no idea about the full ramifications of what this means. Luckily my daughter is smart enough to have reasonable conversations with me. After many talks she has came to the conclusion that she is lesbian. But I’m afraid for other children where the parents are too afraid to talk to their children on these matters.
80% of dysphoric children turn out to be gay. So this 'affirmative' principle - 'acceptance without question' is in fact gay conversion therapy for a majority of children. Your daughter is lucky that she had you as a parent, you have saved her from doing something that she would have regretted the rest of her life.
What idiots like Peterson seem to neglect is gender dysphoria is an actual real thing. It is something that affects a person at a physical level, it's not something you just choose to have or decide you want to be to "fit in". You can find a doctor that can give her a proper diagnosis to find out if her dysphoria is real or "just a phase".
you are so right at that age you have literally not a clue what it means to take hormone blockers or have these surgeries and just how irreversible it is. I feel for you man you're really up for it because you can't let your daughter do this to herself but her and your wife are going to fight you. You really need to get your wife on the same page as you, this sh*t is really bad idea. When she gets a little older and realizes what she did to herself was a huge mistake and is irreversible she could possibly become suicidal. Kids will do whatever to fit in to the point of multilating themselves and that fact that people are condoning it makes me fu*cking sick. Whoever thinks we should give hormone blockers to kids so they can "become" the opposite gender should be shot.

Thank you, Jordan and Kyle, for having this conversation. This is what's missing in today's society. Whether I agree or oppose, I first listen to both sides of the argument.
I agree with Jordan. People on the Left (though I am not Right) dismiss concerns as “moral panic”. Not realizing their blind spots they march forward into “progress” without knowing what that progress is.
Agreed. One of the reasons I left the left was because they couldn’t discern the difference between someone raising concerns and someone being a bigot.
Kyle and Krystal could both stand to play the 'It's just a moral panic' card a lot less. We are just now on the front end of the backlash against the trans insanity. We are going to be hearing a lot more stories from detransitioners over the next 2 decades, and the folks who were collecting the dollars to harm young people thru hormone blockers and surgical intervention are going to be as popular as certain Catholic priests.

Good conversation. Props to Kyle for hanging in with a passionate, very articulate and learned professor. I find that Jordan voices concerns that many others should have. Ethical questions, societal impact. The more than significant chance that many of the transitioning children might very well have grown up as happy straight or gay adults, if allowed to work through the critical years prior to adult maturity.
Peterson is more concerned with the growing market of exploitation over all of this, which I can totally see being a very real issue given enough time, if not already.
Interesting - cos I hear quite the opposite: he's full of buzzwords and epithets, and I hear anger in his strident claims, and absolutely no willingness to step down from his own soapbox
@@bananamiriam What sort of things does he say? Does he use the word "Transition"? It's a buzz word. In Veterinary science has anyone ever "transitioned" a dog, cat, horse, chimpanzee or any other mammal for that matter or "re-assigned" it's sex? No of course not yet we accept "transitioned" as a word applied to humans which are primates.
When I was in high school I wore girls clothes to school almost every day and was 100% convinced I was bi. I'm so glad I didn't have adults pressuring me to transition because I was wrong about literally all of that.
@@sdefonta I think what he means is that they weren't so fast to label him as trans. Humans thrive off of labels and subconsciously conform to them. Another thing is that some people are so accepting of it, that one gets positive affirmation and feedback if they label themself as it. To a child that is still developing and building/discovering their identity, it is all too easy to influence them with conditioning (in this case, positive affirmation for the label). When I was a child just wanted to have fun and be accepted by my parents, and they were proud of me and called me brave when I dressed up as a girl, I would have done it more often. When positive attributes are put on a label, why wouldn't a kid want to be brave and beutiful?
I agree with Jordan that a celebrity can influence thousands of youngsters into doing something they will most likely regret at some point. The consequences are monumental. Body parts gone forever, sterilization, girls balding like men. Openly accepting this is agreeing to voluntary human torture.
Now apply that same argument to the overwhelming standard of hetero society standards. How many women get breast enhancement because it is so fundamentally tied to what makss them valuable? How many boys dont take baking class for being labeled a sissy? How many men and women get married because socially it is what is expected of them culturally and in a family environment? Influence works both ways and you should be honest about how it impacts both side. Gay, trans , straight etc. The core problem is hyper masculinity and hyper femininity . The core problem is in one person defining what is “just” for another where there is no actual harm being done.
The hypocrisy comes out when the solution to your problem is not making surgery permissible for those below maybe 18 years of age and allowing adults to be able to choose what they want to do with their own body. But you wont like this solution will you. You'll come up with some other excuse to not allow it probably because it goes against your bigoted religious views.
It’s like you think getting these surgeries is as easy as going to the store and buying candy. There is a lengthy process involved and statistically only 1% of people regret transitioning which is lower rate than most major life decisions. 14 % of people regret getting tattoos, for example. Please learn the processes and procedures involved before spreading alarmist propaganda about them.
Old gay here with a spouse who has diagnosed dysphoria (diagnosed almost twenty years ago mind you). The only reason I mention that is to provide context. Dr. Peterson, generally speaking, is spot on regarding contemporary trans issues, especially when it comes to Page. And no Kyle, (2:00), the trans issue is not the same as the gay issue from before. Being-trans is, in no uncertain terms, an existential incongruity whereas sexual preference is a matter of a priori taste (for lack of better words). The two things are not even in the same ballpark as each other at the level of concept. The two categories were lumped together for so longed, typically because of shared sexual interest and because both demographics were legitimately, systemically oppressed e.g. no state recognition of natural rights such as marriage, or the right to serve openly in the military , the latter of which actually warranting some attention when it comes to military readiness (i.e. a person who requires constant, uninterrupted chemical therapy cannot serve in a forward location). Final note: Again, Dr. Peterson is right, especially now. (7:10) There is no community. Shared sexual interest constitutes a community about as much as shared interest in ice cream flavor or television programming, maybe less so. In the latter half of the 20th century it might have been a community, but nothing of the sort exists now outside of individuals so shallow in their character that all they can be "proud" of is the types of bodies they spend physically intimate moments with.
Given how often gay people express gender non conforming traits and interests there’s probably a continuum or some overlap on a biological level for what we now separate as gender and sexuality. In many cultures that acknowledge homosexuality view it in gendered terms. I do see how what is asked of society by being trans is distinct.
@@metatypology Yeah, gay women and men consistently find themselves somewhere in the middle of male and female physical and mental traits. This is true for both "butch" and "fem" lesbians and whatever the male gays call such a pair.
//Final note: Again, Dr. Peterson is right, especially now. (7:10) There is no community. Shared sexual interest constitutes a community about as much as shared interest in ice cream flavor or television programming// The word "community" has been commonly used to describe a group of people who share a specific trait since well before you were born. I promise you Jordan Peterson isn't "right" about his claim just because he says so hahaha! I've heard people describe themselves as being part of the "bird watching community" or that they work in the "scientific community" and have heard many gay people from old to young describe the local "gay community" where they live. It is a pretty post modern idea though that a word with a long accepted common use just doesn't get to mean that now based on criteria Jordan can't name. //In the latter half of the 20th century it might have been a community, but nothing of the sort exists now outside of individuals so shallow in their character that all they can be "proud" of is the types of bodies they spend physically intimate moments with.// I remember when conservatives in the latter half of the 20th century painted people like you as all a bunch of degenerates who secretly just wanted to hurt little boys. They also didn't have any evidence to back up what they said. They also pained a huge group of people based on small fractions of people they knew about.
When Jordan spoke against bull C-16 I supported him because I’m against legally compelled speech. I totally agree with him that they shouldn’t allow surgery or anything permanent to children until they’re 18. The bridge too far for me is not allowing adults to make their own decisions. If an adult wants to transition they should be able to and if they are open about it, that’s fine too. Also I do find it kind of funny that trans issues are such a huge thing and a topic that’s constantly covered, meanwhile I’ve met maybe 2 trans people in my entire life lol. The way they make it sound it’s like they’re as common as gay people
@@duffydope Nope, There was a dad locked up for publicly discussing his kids gender after a court ordered him not to do so publicly, for the sake of the kids privacy. Kids have privacy rights. Bill C-16 wasnt invoked wahtsoever. He broke a publication ban.

It seemed it even took Jordan back at first - as if he was expecting a confrontation and instead got a proper debate. Depressingly uncommon nowadays.
@@jerkchickenblog in kind? Since when do you need to be kind in a discussion? If you were kind, you wouldn’t even get anything productive done. You wouldn’t even tackle these issues because you’d be scared to be unkind. These discussions are complex discussions where pushback WILL happen. They are so complex that multiple connections are made to the “main question”. This is not a black and white issue. For example, did you really think a question about adults doing whatever the fuck they want in society wouldn’t get children involved in that discussion when adults and children are so deeply intertwined to such a degree that they can’t live without each other? The thing that actually annoyed me as well is the fact that he tried to move the topic away from children. That WAS a confrontation, a confrontation to avoid talking about the elephant in the room. Why? Is it because the moment you bring in children, your arguments sounds very wrong and evil? The “let’s get back to the main question” is a pretty terrible attempt of actually dismissing Jordan’s points on the involvement of children, individuals that are actually deeply rooted into the question itself. It was quite obvious and I’m sure Jordan picked up on this confrontation as well. That was the remarks he was mentioning (I’m sure he also picked up on some more queues to make an educated guess) that pointed towards his beliefs though I’ll have to give it to the other because he didn’t mention his belief so Jordan had no concrete proof that was his belief even when his after remarks pointed towards his stance of that matter. Now the question becomes more of a “should adults do whatever the fuck they want without any responsibilities for the sake of freedom of expression” or “should adults take responsible actions in their lives because the next generation of kids are watching with hawk eyes and responsible actions will also help these adults in the long run.” (Btw, I still consider people “kids” until their brain have fully matured which is at the age of 26, even if the law considers them adults at 18.) For example, would you do a drag show in front of kids? You’re an adult, you’re free to do whatever the fuck you want (even these are limited like you can’t commit crimes) and you’re not responsible for some other parents bringing their kids to your drag shows but would you take the moral responsibility of at least requesting for no kids at your drag shows? We already have the answer and these adults picked the first option. They don’t give a shit about who they hurt as long as it’s within the law and they will even influence the next generation of kids just because they want society to be painted in their color. The question is “can we ban adults doing bad things in society” and it’s obviously a bad thing considering all the negative effects that are happening to those young folks and to western society as a whole. Look into what Marxism is and how they are reflected in the alphabet group (and more). Like Jordan said, you might have saved one person but you doomed a 1000 more. So do we allow adults to negatively fuck up their own life and influence children into making the same mistake (look at the suicide rate statistics after transitioning and no it’s not a bully thing because if it was, we’d have an epidemic of suicides in the past when people were more critical of bs, and that didn’t happen) all in the name of freedom of expression, or do we ban those things from happening for the sake of these kids not turning into these shit shows? And that’s a complex question to answer. Protect kids by putting a limit on freedom of expression, specially the bad expressions, or protect all freedom of expression regardless if they’re good or bad and just don’t interfere at all and let these kids make the same mistakes in their lives when they grow up. Another example is like saying if a group’s freedom of expression is to worship Satan and adults have to willingly sacrifice their lives to it, do we protect that freedom of expression or do we ban it because we know it’s gonna turn more kids (and adults) suicidal. The “I don’t know” answer is perfectly understandable specially when it comes from Jordan’s character.
@@jesspeed "in kind" does not mean to be kind. It simply means to respond in the same manner. For example, if Person A was being nice to Person B, then for Person B to respond "in kind" they would be nice back. However, if Person A were to be aggressive to Person B, then for Person B to respond "in kind" they would respond aggressively back. Nothing to do with kindness, just a strange quirk of the english language
@@jesspeed I respectfully disagree with your stance on trans adults and their influence on children. It is important to recognize that trans individuals are not inherently immoral or harmful to society. In fact, research shows that trans youth who are supported in their gender identity have better mental health outcomes and a lower risk of suicide. Additionally, it is important for all individuals, including children, to have representation and visibility in society. It is not the responsibility of trans adults to shield children from the reality of their existence. It is the responsibility of parents and caregivers to educate their children and foster open-mindedness and acceptance. And while some may argue that trans individuals performing in drag shows or other public events may be inappropriate for children, it is important to remember that these events are not solely for children and that parents have the ability to decide what is appropriate for their own children to attend. Finally, I urge you to consider the impact of language like 'the alphabet group' and accusations of Marxism, as they serve only to marginalize and further stigmatize a vulnerable community.

Jordan, as a gay man, thank you so much for saying that we are not a "community." You are one of the very few straight people who realize this. Gay people do not need to cut off body parts, and take drugs to accept ourselves. We have ZERO in common with the TQ+ Cult. Love your common sense approach to things.
Politicians do not have talks like this because their goal is to not solve the issue. Their goal is to maximize the political power the issue can generate. The traditional next step is to then use that power to serve their financial or political bases. Solving the “problem” is akin to asking a farmer to not utilize his most fertile land.
I love that Jordan literally just wants to uncover the truth, not his truth. You rarely see an academic admit they don't know the answer to something, and especially when they literally vocalize weighing out the pros and cons.
Completely disagree - I hear academics say I don’t know all the time.. Meanwhile, JP’s ‘unbiased’ world view just so happens to align with almost everything conservatives believe - including climate change denial, lower taxes, and anti-BLM. He frequently cites wrong statistics that fit his beliefs.
@@Dudemar0 Those beliefs you just cited are not exclusive to conservatives; many liberals hold those views as well. Secondly, Peterson does not deny climate change; he actually stated (after reading a lot of literature) that the data of what he's read seems accurate. He only thinks that it's mostly been construed erroneously; that change is necessary, but the best approach is discuss and plan; not to panic, develop authoritarian tactics, and kill millions of poor people in the process. That sounds to be a reasonable view to me.
@@Emloch Petersons approach is indistinguishable in results and agenda when it comes to climate change. It essentially bids us to do nothing while donning the facade of being proactive and pensive. The science is rather clear and the rate of warming is unprecedented on the paleoclimate record. If we reach a 4C world in the next century, it will be catastrophic. Peterson is exaggerating "panicking". Perhaps we should. I also take Peterson with a grain of salt because he tends to veer from science and the scientific method when supporting points. He'll often conflate analytical and experminetal psychology since he realizes his audience will often be able to tell the difference. His arguements on religion such as with Matt just left me bewildered.
I LOVE this type of format. We should be allowed to express our opinion without someone regulating the conversation. Tired of adult conversations being moderated with inherent biases.
@@zaknaifen193 what- did I send you to the dictionary? If so, you're welcome. And no, I don't believe it. I know it to be fact. I've seen him mislead and obfuscate (there's another big word for you, so don't get excited), when talking about topics he has no expertise in (e.g., biology, climate, economy). He's been trained by his handlers to narrativize a talking point because it'll get people riled up.
Peterson was literally seething answering basic questions. If he weren't such a beloved online guru you'd all be makikg fun of him for acting 'like a woman'. Goddamn, so much emotion and such little facts. Did you actually take the time to research any of the studies he cited?
@@MonkeyDIvan It's called passion and conviction, he knows what he is talking about. And he does have plenty to back it up. Are you qualified to make this judgement on him ? Are you even taking into account the amount of different people he speaks with on a consistent basis? I wonder how you would be emotionally if you were constantly being harassed and threatened wherever you went. I think he does a wonderful job of maintaining sanity. Have you ever thought that he actually cares deeply for people and their "long term" well being? Not their short term emotional relief. Jordan knows there is deeper issues that need to be addressed in most cases.
Liberals get way too emotional to think straight. I know I was one for 30 years. I never understood why conservatives hated people so much. It wasn't that at all though. I just wasn't thinking. I wanted the best for everyone even if it screwed everything up. I didn't think it all the way through to the end. I know for sure that's what's wrong with most liberals. It's all about, well it makes me feel good now so that's what we are doing.
Peterson is completely wrong when he says “all of that is wrong” regarding the magazine point. Hopefully it will be obvious but he’s rejecting the idea that awareness of a gay or trans person having a life in a magazine article will encourage a person to come out. There of course are many cases of this. People hear about something because media is able to print that story about a persons life. It no longer becomes something to hide and ridicule. So others who share the same attribute will “come out” and express something that they otherwise would not.
I have worked with adolescent girls for many years. I used to see lots of goth kids, then later emo kids, now every kid that would likely have adopted those trends, identities as "trans". It seems to be the current way to reject societal norms, rebel, stand out, get attention, etc. Most have also seen violent porn and seem terrified to be girls, fearing that is what it means to be female. That is a huge part of this that is not discussed enough. It is heartbreaking.
Yes, it’s mostly girls who have internalized extreme amounts of misogyny, so they turn their backs on and attack their own sex by saying that biological sex does not exist and that women don’t exist. It’s an act of betrayal by radicalized, entitled, violent women and girls trying to erase the very existence of the woman. They sicken me.
it is not a "huge" part of this nd it isnt discussed at least on the scientific level because it is completely irrelevant. The problem i have with most ppl discussing trans issues is that most people seem to go with baseless deductive reasoning that completely ignores the science and the sadest part is that jordan is doing the samething which makes his motivation more nefarious since he isnt ignorant on the scientific front so he is purposefully avoiding the scientific data and chooses to describe puberty blockers as brutal for kids when the reality is absolutely not anywhere near that. if a kid say 8 is given puberty blockers they CAN de-transition whenever they want to, which a very small minority of them, about 2.5% choose to, so him describing it as this insane brutal procedure is just an absolute lie
My late father was a transexual, full post op - we were very close and I loved him dearly. Becoming a woman was the beginning of the end for him, the surgeries and hormones were hell on his body, and in the end he did not stand by his decision to become a woman, as he found that life was no better as a man or a woman. I am with Jordan on this one.
Powerful. People forget that it is a medical procedure. Medical procedures have massive risks. They should never be undertaken unless absolutely necessary. Joan Rivers went for her hundredth facelift and it wiped her our
The dude has essentially 40+ master degree equivalents, and has been working with thousands of men and women on all aspects of psychology as a professional for decades. He is probably the most intelligent individual on the planet who specializes in the science of human social behaviour. Then you have these internet/youtube trolls that think their opinion actually matters and they try to "debate" somebody with light years more intelligence and experience like Jordan Peterson. It's crazy!
@@77dris I am very sure that Peterson is expert on psychology. That is why I am sure that Peterson is trolling. He is a psychologist and he doesn't know what is feeling of being born in wrong body?
Why he's talking to this idiot is baffling .. Peterson is a gem and ol slime shady thinks he knows it all and truthfully just a moron ..its almost a joke
I grew up with a best friend who was convinced she was a boy from around 8-9 to 15. She was dressing like a boy, spoke and acted like a boy, had girlfriends, and even at some point wished she had male genitalia. When she touched on 16-17 years old, she did a 180 degree turn. Told me she was confused as hell and that I should forget about it and act like it didn’t happen, since she was embarrassed of the degree to which she was previously confused, and what path of behaviour that led her to. She is 27 today, happily married and waiting on her second child. Moral of the story: if we were living in a culture back then when these mutilation surgeries were promoted in my country, she would very likely now be regretting it, her depression would get worse and who knows, she might have even ended it all. I agree with Jordan, this is extremely dangerous.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your story about your friend. It sounds like she went through a lot of confusion when she was younger, but eventually figured things out and is now living a happy life. That's great to hear! I understand your concerns about gender reassignment surgeries, but I don't think it's fair to generalize based on one person's experience. There are many trans people who feel much happier and more comfortable after transitioning, and I think it's important to respect their choices. It's also worth noting that these surgeries are not taken lightly and are only recommended after extensive evaluation by medical professionals. It's not like people just walk into a clinic and demand surgery without any thought or consideration. Overall, I think it's important to listen to and support trans people in their journeys. It's not our place to judge or dictate what's best for them. Let's all just strive to be kind and understanding towards one another!
@@wessel5799 Hello, thanks for your reply. I am definitely not generalizing at all since, as I mentioned in my initial comment, I see it as "extremely dangerous". So, while I completely acknowledge the fact that it can have positive outcomes in many cases, I cannot just ignore the negative outcomes either. So my concern isn't the surgery itself per se, even though I do consider it quite horrid which is why I characterized it as "mutilation". My concern is: what about the people who are simply confused, and then go and do something that they will later regret? There should be someone who is held accountable for that, in this specific example. So for me the solution to this is something along the lines of: Set the age eligibility for such surgeries around the early to mid-twenties, when we at least have an almost fully developed brain which is capable of consciously make decisions and be responsible for those decisions. There should have been a long parameter-setting discourse that needed to be done on the public level, as well as the legislative level, before surgeries like these are made available to the general public. And some might say: "Okay, that discussion has actually been done already which is why the surgeries are available". But that is far from reality, because the world is still very much divided about this, even amongst the LGBTQ + community. I have a lot of gay friends and 2 friends that are trans, who think that these surgeries are dangerous as well. In fact one of the aforementioned trans friends is someone who transitioned, regretted it, and then transitioned back. But again of course this is an anecdotal experience and should not be generalized, as you said as well. But, we cannot ignore the existence of these people and we cannot ignore the dangers and potential irreversible harm that such a surgery can do to a person. So my conclusion is, I very much agree with your sentiment of listening and understanding, not only is that the only way forward for humanity, but it is also part of my job. But it would be completely disingenuous of me to ignore the risks and potential harm I mentioned above. It would also be completely disingenuous of me to ignore the potential good it can do for some people, therefore, it is a conversation that still needs to continue, and rash decisions should not be put into legislation and healthcare institutions. My bottom line gets crossed is when they make the surgeries available to teens, who are by and large not even able to cook a full meal for themselves, keep their room in order or decide what they want to do with their life. Hence the danger. Hope you have a nice day!
@@PellosMaxhthc Hello Leslie, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate your concern for the potential risks and negative outcomes of gender-affirming surgeries. It is important to have a thoughtful and nuanced discussion about the benefits and risks of these surgeries before making them available to the public. However, I must respectfully challenge some aspects of your position. First, referring to gender-affirming surgeries as "mutilation" is not an accurate or respectful way to describe a medical procedure that can significantly improve the quality of life for trans individuals. Additionally, while it is true that there should be age restrictions and a thoughtful approach to offering gender-affirming surgeries, it is important to recognize that teens who are experiencing gender dysphoria are often in significant distress and may benefit from these surgeries as a part of their gender-affirming treatment plan. It is also worth noting that many medical professionals and organizations, such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, recommend that hormone therapy and surgery be made available to patients who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Finally, it is important to remember that each person's experience with gender and gender dysphoria is unique, and we must avoid making broad generalizations based on anecdotal experiences. While it is certainly possible for someone to experience regret or dissatisfaction after a gender-affirming surgery, studies have shown that the vast majority of trans individuals report significant improvements in their mental health and overall well-being after these procedures. I hope that we can continue this conversation with respect and empathy for all individuals who are impacted by these issues. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
@@wessel5799 I don't disagree with you, other than to say that it is NOT after extensive counseling and therapy that gender affirming care is recommended, it is more and more being recommended immediately, after only one session. That's the issue.
This guy starts with a wrong comparison: gay are nothing like trans ppl, first is a matter of PREFERENCE, while the second is a question of PERCEPTION. You can have your own preferences, but you cannot IMPOSE your perception to others.
I'm a trans woman and transitioning has made me significantly happier, but I definitely agree it's not for children. The way that's being pushed on them is nuts
We really need more sensible trans people like yourself to speak out on that. You're an adult, you can make your own decisions. A child's mind is easily molded. As a parent your job is to guide your child onto a healthy fulfilling path while trying your hardest not to warp their mind into what that path might be. The left ideology is doing it's damnedest to warp it for you.
Ah, but do you accept the fact that you are actually a man, you just (perhaps) feel better if you present yourself 'as a woman' to others? Do you feel 'slighted' if someone - upon learning that you are actually a man - doesn't wish to accept your 'womanhood'? Do you think the society should be forced to accept you as a 'woman' even though you aren't a woman, in fact? Those are the critical questions.
@@haitolawrence5986 bro you're part of the problem. There's no reason to purposely try to make people feel bad about themselves. That's part of the reason the left is so psychotic now. Hate fules hate. This person is agreeing with what we think, and you're still making fun of them. Grow up dude
Jordan is right about the community description. I’ve noticed that we never hear from trans people who are concerned bout young people being in danger of making the wrong decision. They are not a homogenous group. They have differing opinions. We only think of them as all the same.
Who said communities are necessarily "homogenous groups"? The etymology of "community" means "to go/move with" and is related to "common". The word can refer to subgroups that have narrow interests "in common", but most often it refers to large-ish groups whose only fundamental commonality is that they share the same living space, such as towns and cities. But if you want to insist the word is misapplied and inappropriate, what other word would you use to refer to people who have identification with LGBTQ+ issues?
@Jack Sheridan and here is the stereotypical over-zealous far-right anti trans guy in his/her natural habitat: *THE RUclips COMMENT SECTION* lets have a look at this comment... random rambling at the start that has nothing to do with the comment, check, ooooh and then they call it a cult, that's a new one, ah and then they play the most typical card in the book for this type of person, you know it, you hate it, you love it (you probably hate it) the dreaded *WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?* in all seriousness why do y'all always jump straight to thinking about the kids? like a know the catholic church is known to have issues with pederasty and all but people like you seem to pull this stunt so much it kinda worries me
@@KravMagoo Tran individuals, that is it. There is no real over lapping and you aren't talking about gay people when you mean Trans. Out of LGBT 3 of those types of people have no need or thought for surgery and by adding the plus at the end the whole group is become more and more of a worthless term. It is just becoming a group think mob instead of looking more towards individuality.

Wow it's the first time I hear a real, legitimate debate from two opposing sides on this topic. Maybe the tides are turning and soon we'll be able to have more debates. Kyle kulinsky and Jordan Peterson are pioneers for this discussion. Especially JP for having such an honest response. I loved it when such a smart man said "I don't know". That was a surprise and also a window to further discussion. Thanks breaking points for posting this!
@@bootsie5396 it's a complicated matter. And that part maybe should be left to medical boards. Plus we would need more data and way more debating to decide whether trans surgeries have a net benefit. I think it's honorable for a man to admit when he's not sure about something.... In Canada we have a public health care system so perhaps a debate whether tax dollars should cover these procedures is warranted.
A 'discussion' implies a two way respectful way conversation. it is not the one way traffic of one person practically monologuing their rationale (1:30 - 6:27) and then disrespectfully nit pick and not allowing the other to develop their position. JP is a fool and a bigot.
@@ablackgoliath1827 dying on the hill of what a discussion is and then calling a great intellectual a fool and a bigot in the comment section of a RUclips video that's a year old is pretty telling my friend. I hope you breathe some air and touch some grass today, friend.
Thank you Kyle for having this debate with Dr. Peterson. This is how these conversations and debates should be, ask questions, think critically and be willing to change your mind.
I didn't get the sense that Kyle was open to having his mind changed at all. He was very dismissive of Jordan's arguments, e.g. "I just don't believe it's a moral panic" in the face of the reported evidence of over triple-digit percentage increases in trans-identifying individuals in only one specific more vulnerable sub-group. Jordan made a pretty important point about the impact of celebrities using social media platforms to publically celebrate their transitions on children confused by this relatively new wave gender ideology. If Elliot Paige had made a post celebrating their purchase of a new hunting rifle they intend to use for sport shooting, the left would have been chomping at the bit to condemn such a "problematic" post in the wake of America's real problem with gun violence. But here we have a case clearly identified, with a real social contagion is sweeping across the western world and affirmative care mandated placed upon the medical institutions is having a real measurable damaging effect on the lives of children and young people, celebrities are not using care not to promote their own personal decisions to transition, meanwhile, folks on the left like Kyle hold their hand s up and say they "aren't taken a position" on the children issue. It's supremely hypocritical.
What I truly love about Dr. Peterson (among so many things) is that he chooses and uses words with such precision. He knows how critical it is to not blend words carelessly.
Oh, like how he called the lgbt community a community twice and then once Kyle called it a community, he said “first of all it’s not a community.” Very “surgical”
Is that a joke? I’ve never seen a man come up with such impressive word salads. He’ll spend 5 minutes trying to make a point that could be said in a single sentence. The man is the living embodiment of sophistry. And you are his mark.
@@markmirabella4066 the first time peterson uses the word 'community' is at 5:02 , and he *very clearly* refers to it then and there as a 'hypothetical community,' being entirely consistent where you are claiming he isn't. the second time is in the very same unbroken passage of speech wherein he is getting to the same point, but in the same spoken paragraph... he clearly qualified it. so yes: surgical as adjective stands.
Both men had their strong points, I agree with Dr. Peterson when it comes to children, as a matter of principle though: I believe adults should have complete autonomy over their bodies. Should a person decide to transition as an adult is completely up to that person.
Ofcourse, mutilate your body all you want. Just don't make it accesible for kids. People have been doing things to change their bodies for the entirety of human history.
I think the trans movement is going to end up doing far more damage than good but I agree that adults if mentally well should be able to do what they want.
"I believe adults should have complete autonomy over their bodies" Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID) is a rare, infrequently studied and highly secretive condition in which there is a mismatch between the mental body image and the physical body. Subjects suffering from BIID have an intense desire to amputate a major limb or severe the spinal cord in order to become paralysed. Do you think that adults with BIID should have the right to have themselves mutilated?
Taking Kyle's anecdote of the trans person who felt their transition was beneficial, I completely understand Peterson's reluctance to blindly accept that as a positive outcome. Kyle says, "Who am I to say (they aren't happy)?" As a lay person that is sertainly the case but, as a physician or clinical psychologist, we can't speak for long term effects - either medical or psychological - with certainty. In that setting a clinical endorsement is arguably irresponsible. To take a different example sometimes patients come to me (a clinician) with chronic pain who demand that, all they need, is as much morphine/demerol/vicodin etc. they can handle. Should I just give it to them because they asked for it or does my clinical knowledge task me with a more informed opinion?
I don't know if it is that different from what Plastic Surgeons have to decide. I think there could be a very strong argument to be made that plastic surgeons can never predict the long term medical or psychological consequences of their work on each particular patient. It varies from patient to patient. Should we outlaw plastic surgery? It"s not medically necessary. I think if there is 100% evidence that the outcomes are always negative, then perhaps it should be outlawed. However, that certainly is hard to prove when the negative side effects are often mostly psychological and not physical. This is unlike the example you gave of giving too much morphine where potential side effects are more physical (not psychological) and easier to prove as negative.
@@CJ-mq3mk I disagree. The consequences of gender reassignment are not merely cosmetic, such as with a face-lift. Remember, this also involves manipulation of hormones and removal of hormone-producing organs. In that setting we have to consider long term consequences such as osteoporosis, risk of thrombotic events such as pulmonary embolism, coronary disease, stroke and to various forms of cancer. This is not to mention whether or not the long term psychological benefit truly is positive or if there is underlying depression or psychosis that gets worse or ignored. I'm not saying this should be illegal, but I'm also not sure we know enough to say that it is necessary beneficial in all cases. I think Peterson alluded to a statistic that suicide rates don't improve after gender reassignment and, possibly, even get worse. In light of that I would certainly want to know more about the condition and the procedure before I endorse it in every case. I am in clinical practice and I happen to have some transgender patients in my panel. I can think of two cases where the person regretted their decision to transition for medical and psychological reasons, both. In both cases they stopped taking their hormones and, without the resources, support or courage to detransition, remain disfigured in their own eyes. One expressed to me that the overwhelming "encouragement" he had in the beginning was effectively coercive, although he doesn't want to blame anyone for a decision he ultimately made for himself. He just wished he had been exposed to a counter argument. Interestingly the supportive community wasn't really there for him anymore when he felt he made a bad decision.
@@stevencoardvenice you can't say people can't do something "because kids". The world doesn't revolve around kids. You can't sanitize everything because kids exist.

@@CrackYouUpFilms In addition, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, transgender males in the U.S. underwent 9,985 gender confirmation surgeries in 2020 compared to 8,986 in 2019.
I don't know what universe Kyle is living in but I have seen trans identified 9 yr olds at my daughter's school, so yes, there has been a huge shift in our culture in terms of gender identity in recent years. I also know of teens getting irreversible surgery. I would like to see some data on the number of young people who de-transition or have regrets about surgery and the irreversible effects of hormone treatments.
Sean, I don't think we live in bizarre and crazy times, we live in outright dangerous times. If populace will not come to their senses in short order...... God help us all.

Everyone seems to forget the that Jordan Peterson is a DOCTOR. He’s extremely well read and has much more experience dealing with human psychology than any of these people that want to “debate” him.
@@chknrsandTBBTROX73 That depends on what their focus of study was. If they are studying the mechanics of how the brain works with regard to things like perception, it wouldn't be applicable at all. Or organizational psychology.
He seems happy to opinions on stuff he knows diddly squat about, the environment suddenly he's an expert on that, his tirade on postmodernism shows complete ignorance, he can't be taken seriously
"I'm a woman but I feel Like I should be a man" is to me a strange statement as the only person that can know what a man feels is a woman who has feelings they think and believe are those of a man. A woman can feel something that makes them uncomfortable unhappy about being a woman such as having masculine tendencies or being sexually attracted to other women but I don't think that equates to having the feelings of a man as whatever feelings this woman has while inhabiting a female body can't be those of a man as she isn't one. To claim to be something you aren't or have never been by experiencing feelings you could never have is illogical and self deceiving just as a man who believes they should be a woman while never knowing or understanding the lived and felt experience of a woman is feeling something dysmorphic but could never know what its like to menstruate, be pregnant, give birth or experience menopause etc. They are feeling something that is making them unhappy in their own bodily existence but to know exactly that those feelings are those of the opposite sex is impossible to verify and believe. Being unhappy with what sex you were born doesn't make you something else, it just makes you unhappy with the reality of what you actually are and having a lot of work to do in accepting reality.
I agree with everything you said, but how you or I feel about it is largely irrelevant. If an adult is feeling overwhelmingly that they should be the opposite sex then they should be free to make whatever decision about their body they feel the need to make. How much work should they do first on trying to 'accept their reality' and who should oversee that they've done that work before they decide to transition?
I wonder what you’d think of the male who’s bitched circumcision led to his being raised as a girl. He was never comfortable with it and grew up to become a man again, eventually committing suicide. If all he ever knew was being a girl, how could he have desired to be a man?
@@jezplaisance I agree ADULTS who want to reshape their body to better fit what they believe they want to be should be free to do that. Which is a completely different thing being forced to play along with it or to allow people to impose this agenda on confused and impressionable children.

Not sure why but I totally missed this and almost a year later now I stumbled on this video. I would like to hear more between these two dudes who I agree on most things with.
I wasn’t expecting to - but I agreed very strongly with Jordan Peterson on a lot of points. On trans surgery it should only be allowed for adults - and adults well past their adolescence imo
Kyle made that point. And Jordan was dancing around the fact that he doesn’t think adults should be allowed to make that choice because it may hypothetically adversely affect younger people to normalize it
@@samplum1567 Jordan never said he thought that. He said the fact that medical professionals are involved complicates the issue so he wasn't sure how to feel about it.
Great to have this posted. The more I listen to Peterson on this issue, the the more I agree in general. Huge kudos to Kyle for handling this and not getting overly defensive.
Agree with what, exactly? The inevitable path in following JP's logic would be to force LGBT adults into conversion therapy. Elliot will never live up to the religious and moral standards of JP, or anyone on the right-wing. He has no responsibility for what children make of him and shouldn't be guilted into concessions by anyone. JP essentially makes the same irrational arguments presented to Marilyn Manson after the Columbine shooting, and violent video games.
Agree with Jordan, its way more important to have an opinion of what is done to children, it's less important to have a strong opinion of what adults do to their bodies. Hopefully, Kyle will make up his mind of what he thinks about how kids are being influenced today.
but its just not though, you could spend your entire life not giving a sht about this issue and nothing will change, it's just a lame wedge issue so we don't actually get to solving real problems of society. 100% click bait waste of time.
Jordan is passionate because "trans" is entirely psychological. No biological basis whatsoever, for all except for a tiny %-age of people who are hermaphroditic or biologically asexual.
I love Jordan. I watch so much of his stuff. I find he's getting a lot more heated talking about things lately. I do kinda miss the calmer Jordan who would still cut through arguments with precision and clinical experience.
Careful saying that here. Last time I said something similar in the comments I got attacked by a bunch of angry leftists who hate jordan because they were told to.
Sometimes anger is an appropriate emotion when children are being indoctrinated, given irreversible, life-altering surgeries, and are dosed by “medical professionals” who give them hormones that their bodies normally don’t produce in large quantities on its own. Perhaps it’s correct to be mad as hell when they’re told their confusing adolescent feelings/vexations can be alleviated if they “become who they truly are” via mutilating their bodies beyond recognition and pick out a new, fun name to match their fresh start as their new identity. It might be good for level-headed adults to stand up for the children that are being sacrificed in the name of progressive tolerance to the whims of delusional, propagandized ideologues who can shut down arguments by simply using the dreaded “B” word mic-drop, bigot. One cannot question, take issue with, criticize, or discourage a child’s desire to make this leap lest they want to lose their license/job (in the case of doctors/psychologists/teachers) or even the child themselves, in the case of a concerned parent. The time for sitting back and pussyfooting around is over. To sit back and allow this to happen is akin to compliance. If we don’t allow an impressionable young person’s decision making skills to get a driver’s license (if they’re under 16), to join the military, to buy/use cigarettes/alcohol, or even to bloody vote, then why the hell would we think they know what they’re doing if they want to remove their sexual organs for life to reshape them into a faux version of the opposite sex’s? You bet your ass this deserves all the anger JBP and the rest of the sane adults in the room can muster. One day we will have thousands of destroyed young adults who were once those children to answer to.
This is because of the severity of the issue: "children, young adult are being misled to mutilate themselves". If that doesn't cause you to burn as a parent, I don't know what will.
Yeah but it’s an elective procedure. Hair plugs (which JP is clearly familiar with) is a smaller health car market at around 10 billion a year, meanwhile trans surgery is a drop in the bucket at 350 million.
That is such a weak anti medical science argument. There are no ads running to push people to transition. The discussion is truly incomplete without recognizing the rights and bodily autonomy of trans patients.
I feel the same way. However I feel like he was especially agitated in this conversation which worries me that it will undermine anybody hearing what he has to say. At least in this conversation specifically
@@davidwhitney947 good point I thought of that as well, but I think he is really waking up to the devestatng darkness behind this woke ideology, and once your eyes are open to it it's hard not to have a little bit of righteous indignation of the let's self righteous indignation. But you are right, he needs to temper thst a bit without compromising his clarity on the issue. Basically it's his own critique of Trump and letting his emotion get the better of him. In this case, however I think his emotion underscores the severity of what we are dealing with and the theft of an entire generations identity.
@@dwolfcoach in his clear moral statements as to the damage and very near sighted vision of the left who will exploit every devient behavior in human nature just to create division and and gain power with little to no assessment of unintended consequences. To celebrate gender dysphoria as a choice and then to support the permanent surgical mutilation of 5 year Olds based on their feeling which is guided an manipulated by adults with an agenda that is not in the interest of that 5 year old is a moral issue we should all be outraged by, but clearly many have lost thst moral compasse, but thankfully Jordan is morally very clear on this and the lefties can't threaten him taking their Twitter balls home because he won't play their games
I totally agree with Jordan Peterson as a woman I’m disgusted with men pretending to be woman without going through experience of a real woman and not having reproductive organs competing with women
There are Less than 100 Trans Athletes in sports, in the Entire Country. Our Economy has been the Republican Party’s Biggest complaint with the Biden Administration. Yet, No Legislations are being proposed by the Republicans. Just Legislating against “Woke” issues. And “Woke” has turned out to be Anything that is Not; White, Christian or Heteronormative. ~ it’s a distraction, because they don’t know how to fix the economy
I agree with Jordan on most of this. But it’s not criminal for adults to make a decision and doctors to oblige. We can argue about the larger effects of individual actions. But it’s not criminal in any sense.
If you ask a doctor to cut your leg off because you feel like a one-legged person, you will be refused by any ethical medical professional. You will also rightly be referred for serious psychiatric intervention. But if you want your genitals removed, doctors will flock to you and complete the surgery before you even know what has happened. Reasonable people don't care if it's legal. They CORRECTLY see it as a crime.
I think at the heart of what Mr. Peterson is saying is that we are being painted this “all is hunky dory” picture of those who transition when in reality, even if for arguments sake that’s what would theoretically be best for them, the real world physical results are very blunt and complicated. The activism surrounding this paints the picture of these transitioned folks finally being able to live as their “true selves” but in 99% of instances that newfound true self has a myriad of health issues and physical complications to deal with. I think he’s harping on the reality that we don’t live in a futuristic Star Trek world where you can just switch your gender, back and forth, consequence free from Chris Hemsworth to Cindy Crawford. Thus his long pause on the question of banning it. I’m sure he knows how totalitarian it could be construed to be hung up on that but he’s well versed enough on the subject to recognize the immense issues of it being allowed to begin with. Physically altering your body to try and appear as something you’re not (biologically) and signing up for a lifetime of hormonal treatments that are only there to supply you with something you were never gonna have to begin with is not just a decision, it’s a crossroads that can’t be undone. That’s a hell of a Pandora’s box to open up at any age.
He's not saying here or anywhere that the results are "blunt and complicated." If anything, he's saying that they are clearly bad. If we want to fault "the left" for doing the uncomplicated 'It's all hunky dorey" thing, I think it is fair to fault Peterson for doing an equally uncomplicated "It's all gloomy and wrong" thing.
And they have the choice is exercise that choice. That's about it. Go along with it and wish them the best. Or sit around stewing about it all day like Jordan as though he can pontificate some string of sentences that'll solve anything.
If it’s between a lifetime of gender dysphoria, crippling self-esteem problems, and suicidal ideation and taking hormone pills once a day/week, most trans people would choose the latter. People don’t really empathize with trans people partly because it’s a strange and alien experience to them. I would love if transphobes and similar people to that would take the time to listen to the real life experiences of trans people.
Just because some people may change their mind doesn't mean that others don't have a deeply ingrained sense of their own gender. I can understand why you might be concerned as a parent, but I believe it's important to approach these issues with an open mind and a willingness to listen to others' experiences, rather than dismissing them based on our own personal beliefs or fears.
It’s only scary if you believe the lie that there’s a huge trend of kids undergoing gender affirmation surgery. You should watch the video of Matt Walsh on Rogan being asked to give an estimation of how many trans kids in the US are taking hormone blockers and he says "millions" . Then Jamie pulls up the data and it’s actually a couple of thousands. This right here incapsulates perfectly how disconnected from reality and how hysterical conservatives are on this issue. If there’s only a couple of thousands of kids on hormone blockers, the number of minors undergoing affirmation surgery must be in the 10’s if there’s any. This is one of the main issues on the platform of the second most powerful party in the world. Quite concerning. Noticeably what’s not on their platform is reducing the high infant morality rate in red states or school shootings. They definitely have a good sense of priorities these people
@@j.knight9335 Thanks for sharing your concern. I understand that some people may change their minds about irreversible procedures, but it's important to respect their autonomy and allow them to make decisions about their own bodies. It's also worth noting that gender-affirming surgeries have been shown to have positive outcomes for transgender individuals. Ultimately, we should prioritize the well-being and happiness of all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.
Peterson has fallen off. He keeps interrupting, and he's actually making this guy look credible. He wasn't like this before. Remember when they called him a mean white man? He's playing into that. He's become a parody of himself.
@@Nepthu Yea for sure. I can't stand it when he's on Rogan, but Peterson is actually making him look calm and collected here. When you lose your temper, you lose the argument.
When they are getting kids to block their natural hormone process and stop their puberty which is very dangerous. Not to mention this delusional costs lives it's got a 60 percent suicide rate the highest of any type of mental illness there is.
Every kid my 14 year old has been friends with since 2nd grade identify as transgender or nonbinary. They're all trying to change their names. There was a child at their school who went from being a boy to a girl for a year & left the school. The following year someone ran into them at the market & he was back to being a boy. This child had seen his father sexually abuse his sister & maybe this was a temporary coping tool. The school had to explain gender identity to the kids because this child was now going to be using the girls bathroom, staying with the girls during health class & bunking with them during a week long camping trip. I was supportive at the time, but now looking back I think we caused them a lot of confusion. There were other parents who were standard Democratic liberals and they were not really comfortable with a lot of the choices the school made, but they all said they didn't want to be accused of being transphobic. Last week I pulled up a study about the social contagion aspect after hearing this clip on Kyle's channel & found out that in 2018 there was a study on this which received a lot of backlash from trans activists & caused the university to not do a press announcement. Apparently, many professors signed a letter pushing back on the university for not backing the researchers & standing for academic freedom. We can't have a serious policy discussion without the facts & we can't get the facts if researchers are intimidated by activists & universities don't grow a backbone. Didn't anyone learn their lesson after so many scientists stayed quiet on the lab leak theory with COVID? I also think the trans community has shifted the goal posts a lot over the past 10 years, leaving many of us confused. I was under the impression that we were being asked to use preferred pronouns out of respect, which I have no problem with, and that adults just wanted to have the right to make their own medical decisions which I also have no issue with. However, now it seems like there's a demand that we actually believe these people are the exact same sex as the gender they identify as. I didn't sign up for that. Moreover, I like being referred to as a "birthing person" about as much as I like being called "Latin X" or being compared to a breakfast taco. Kim Iverson debated that new girl on Rising just the other day & it was a real moment of clarity about why the left will never be a threat to anyone. The most fringe people on the left are loud & anyone who isn't on board with 100% of everything related to LGBTQ+ issues is considered a "right winger." By that logic, 95% of the country is conservative.
You people are so pathetic. That is 100% a lie and you don’t get to say otherwise maybe don’t bring up ridiculous stories that are so obviously false we see this with you right wingers all of the time.
I agree with everything you said. I live in southern California and the amount of gen z I see identifying as trans is staggering. I also agree that most of this is academic and corporate cowardice. They are allowing this exceedingly small group of fringe extremists to essentially call the shots because they don't have the backbone to stand by their ethical, religious, and most importantly academic convictions. Sometimes the best thing to do for a person is to scold them and tell them they are wrong, that their behavior is out of place. If you let that bad behavior/belief continue, it becomes seen as more acceptable and spreads.
So refreshing to see two adults have a discussion like this. Listening, thoughtful, actually answering each other’s questions. We should bring this back to the political sphere. Less mouth, more brains!
@@JavaAndroid You are so right. Jordan was the only adult here. Kyle doesn't know anything. He will always side with fake authoritarian left because he is a shill for the Dems.
@@JavaAndroid idk what you mean by that, but in the video, Peterson was petulant and dodging the question of whether he believed that some people should not have freedom of expression. Which tells me that Peterson does not support free expression wholesale, and I thought you would be interested to know that because I’m assuming that you support freedom of expression
When trans identification has been approximately doubling every 5 years for the last few decades, combined with the fact that the vast majority of this exponential increase has been down to teenagers in the last decade, it is simply UNDENIABLE that we are looking at a social contagion.
did you know that more people started being left handed once we stopped stigmatizing being left handed, it seems pretty obvious that now when we are more accepting towards trans people that obviously more people will be openly trans, the same thing has happened with atheism, where once atheists were excommunicated or forced to hide their atheism when the persecution of atheism stopped more people started identifying as atheist. It's obvious if we persecute a specific identity and a person is capable of hiding said identity they will for the most part do so until the threat is lessened, now we are starting to re-evaluate the persecution of transgenderism it is obvious that more people will identify as transgender.
what a dumb statement ofc as something becomes more accepted more people identify that way the same thing happened with people who wrote with there left hands all the way to the gay movement around 2015 anytime something becomes more accepted in society there are obviously gonna be more people who go that way … just a shitty argument
You’re being dishonest or you’re just ignorant of the facts but the study you’re referring to about the trans population doubling every 5 years is very misleading without the proper context the follow up study was done with a new modeling strategy that made their sample size bigger than previously as well as them adding a question if they were transgender unlike the previous study that only came to the estimation by determining if they were transgender based off question patterns instead so it’s not necessarily as big of a trend in population as you may think but it is undeniable that it’s increasing just not to the extent you believe which makes perfect sense knowing how left handiness being socially acceptable made it so more left handed people existed the same case is for trans people so no it’s not a social contagion that’s nonsensical
@Liam1536 You're the ones being dishonest with yourselves. It's nonsensical to deny that it's social contagion, and I'll explain why. 1. The exponential trend of LGBT identifying youth is directly correlated to how much access they have to social media. 2. You can compare the exponentially growing rate of trans against the proportional decline of homosexuals. Studies have shown that about 80% cases of gender dysphoria are just misdiagnosed homosexuality, and that well over 90% of cases actually resolve themselves and go away if treated properly with therapy instead of castration pills and mutilation. But therapy isn't allowed in some countries anymore where laws have been put in place to prevent therapists and psychologists from looking for any other resolution other than putting them on the LGBT conveyor belt. It's now considered "conversation therapy" to help someone accept themselves and be happy with who they are while it's called "affirmation care" to chemically prevent healthy puberty, prescribe cross-sex hormones and mutilate genitals to make them crudely resemble other genitals. 3. Go anywhere outside the Western world and see how much of it believes in this gender nonsense. If you go to a tribe in Africa they wouldn't even understand the concept. 4. It's distinctly generational. The identification rate of each generation is exponentially higher than the one before that. In fact the earliest recorded case of someone identifying as the opposite sex was in the 1910's who robbed a bank I believe and she wanted to be in prison with the men because that's who she felt like. Any other examples you might think of in history (like two-spirit etc) are modern appropriations of historical tradition which actually had nothing to do with someone of one sex believing themselves to be the other. 5. It's localised mostly to certain regions in the Western world. The rate of LGBT identification is densely grouped in certain places while extremely sparse in others, even within countries that accept it. 6. Despite being supposedly an oppressed group, people are now clambering to identify with one of its many facets, even making up new categories to do so, and this happens mostly when those people are already surrounded by that very group. On a side note, when before in history have people exponentially clambered to identify with a supposedly oppressed group? 7. Ever notice how the celebrities whose children end up identifying with this group all happen to be partially woke? You can even observe many of them determining that their kids will be LGBT long before it happens, and sometimes before they're even born. For instance, Megan Fox decided her kid was trans because she could "feel the energy" while she was still pregnant, and what a surprise!!! Her son likes to wear dresses (which she must have already bought for him first). These celebrities are a public representation of what's happening in the general population too. 8. The entirety of gender ideology was made up by a number of figures in 20th century Western world, and we know who they are. They were almost all "sexologists", and curiously enough they ALL were proud pedophilia apologists. Outside of that, you won't find this gender nonsense anywhere else in the world or in history. The main figures were John Money who coined "gender" for humans, which until then the word was a purely linguistic term. He was first to summise there's a gendered aspect of humans distinct from sex, and that it's socially constructed and therefore could be socially conditioned. You can look up his work in detail but in summary his experiments lead to the suicides of his subjects (who he sexually abused in childhood) and his own work proved his own theory wrong. That same theory you insist is legitimate while his work is still used to supposedly affirm gender ideology today. Then there's Alfred Kinsey, a sexual deviant to got into "sexology" in order to destigmatize his sexual fetishes. He enjoyed things like strangling his testicles whole shoving pencils up his urethra (real example). He insisted that most people were like him but were just repressed, he made up his own figures out of whole cloth about things like how how 90% of farmers rape their own animals and how over half the population was gay etc. Out of his two most influential works, the first was found to be fraudulent when it was found sexual data he claimed was from the general population was actually from sex offenders in prison. He did this to skew sexual deviance data to normalize his own. His second work includes a table ("Table 34") recording the orgasm times of children as young as 5 months. He got this data by collaborating with active pedophiles and having them pass their findings on to him, yet he never reported a single one to the authorities. Those two fraudulent and pedophilic works are also cornerstones of a huge portion of the work on gender ideology has been built on too. Then there's Volkmar Sigusch, who coined the term "cis" in the 90's. He insisted there was no such thing as immoral sex between anyone and anything, he said that pedophiles shouldn't be punished, that child sexual abuse "benefits the victim" and he also blamed sexual assault on feminists because they were against pedophilia and he claimed that not being able to sexually abuse children made people sexually abuse each other. These are the patron saints of the ideology you're defending. They're the big three but you'll find similar stories and similar defence of pedophilia from any of the others you might look up. There's also the fact that the idea of a woman being in a man's body or vice versa, just makes no sense and can be nothing more than a superstitious and spiritual claim rather than anything based on real science. What part of a man is actually a woman? The brain? Well the brain is part of the body so by definition that brain inside the man's body is by definition a man's brain, as are the synaptic signals it creates. Can a man have a woman's arm. Can a woman have a man's leg? Every study used to support gender ideology and how it benefits people all have invalid methodology, often in multiple ways. They tend to be funded by institutions and carried out by researchers who even admit the conclusion they want the study to come to ahead of time, which is not how science can be truthfully done. The ones claiming that people are happier after transition use incredibly small sample sizes which are cherry picked even smaller after they transition to get the results they prefer, and none of them have ever followed on more than 3 months after transition when the patients are still under the drug-like euphoria of cross-sex hormones and haven't had any significant time to really assess how their lives have been permanently changed. The only study ever done with a large sample and over many years was in Scandanavia, and that study found (against the researchers intentions) that it has no long-term benefit when it comes to levels of happiness, and it even suggested it might be detrimental to mental health, as it also found that the highest rate of suicide in the trans"community" is at 7-13 years post-op. They kill themselves the most, AFTER surgery. Now that's out of the way, I just have two questions for you that I'd like you to attempt to answer coherently: 1. What is a woman? 2. What is the precise distinction between gender and personality? Not sure if my comment will last long before it's removed for heresy against the alphabet cult, but see if you can answer those intelligibly and without psychobabble before that happens.
While I'm more on Peterson's side of the argument i think you did a great job interviewing him. I do feel Peterson has developed a tendency to get a bit angry and frustrated when he gets interviewed by people who aren't exactly aligned with his ideas. Sadly I feel this is something that has developed along the years since he's become more famous and he's had to deal with quite a lot of journalists and interviewers who were just outright hostile to his persona. I remember in his earlier interviews he'd be much more relaxed and open. Nowadays he can seem a lot more weary of interviewers, especially if he hasn't had prior experience with them. Although sometimes his anger can also be confused with being targeted at the interviewer, while in fact it is genuine anger and frustration about the subject.
The very way that a question is framed can speak to a prevailing bias. While the host claims that he has not formed a firm opinion, the framing of his questions either speak to a profound level of ignorance or bias.
I’ve noticed this too. It seems to be a thing that’s risen out of his fairly recent health crisis with the benzos, mixed with political/societal craziness
Exactly. You can tell JP has run out of patience. It’s a shame tho because Kyle is arguably a good faith actor. So Kyle is sort of dealing with JP’s pent up anger from dealing with bad actors.
It's the anger for the issue not him. He has just seen enough of stupidity in basic reasoning that he is not believing what humans are capable of doing. Listen to his argument and you will understand why he is angry. Kyle might not be aggressive but his reading and framing are 'ideological'. This is why Jordan is angry cuz Kyle is claiming to be neutral but anyone can tell he has a side.
This was great ! I love Jordan, I assume i disagree with Kyle a lot, but his ability to stay calm when Jordan was somewhat aggressive is awesome ! That is what is necessary to have important conversations. Well done Sir!
Yeah, I enjoy hearing JP talk about existential ideas, but he's simply not a very good debater when he loses his cool, which is unfortunately increasingly frequent. And yes, I know there are loads of people who say "wouldn't you be losing your cool too with how much people come after him?", but that doesn't mean it's good that he's losing his cool even if I were to do the same thing in his shoes (I don't know whether or not I would).
Didn't find him to be aggressive at all. If you watch his podcast he talks like that too. It's more about being anal about using the proper words so there is no room for wiggling about and playing games in debate.
@@MrDNMock i think he was super aggressive. spent half the video getting angry about something that kyle didnt even ask about. super unprofessionel, bravo to kyle to staying calm and letting him vent for a while.
Go to Krystal Kyle and Friends on Substack for the whole interview. It's good and about an hour and 20 minutes. There's probably a link in the description of this video.
@@vanessacarly5140 JP was definitely pearl clutching at one point and kept referring to Kyle as "you people" until Kyle had to tell him he didn't even hold those beliefs, lol. Still, this is sadly about as good as it gets in politics nowadays.
10:46 it would be incredibly arrogant of you to say. It is not, however, arrogant for medical professionals to say it. If someone says, "It feels like I have too many arms." The onus is upon the medical community to say, "Chopping one of your arms off is not the appropriate way to deal with this."
Kyle, though I haven’t always been the biggest fan, did a great job here. Wonderful interviewing skills/ technique. However.. the notion that there is no element of social contagion regarding transgenderism in adolescents is just silly though.. we have the statistics.. any sane person paying attention should concede this. Two things can be true at once. Some people can legitimately have the pronounced sensation of “being the other sex” that is best treated with transition AND there is an enormous spike in the amount of adolescents (particularly females) claiming to be transgender. Undoubtedly there are rampant misdiagnoses here that will be tragic. Guidelines forcing psychologists to affirm immediately and without question will be taught to future genderations as the catastrophic blunder that it is.
i wonder if anorexia stats are down these past couple years. my daughters are living through this shit storm. pressures are heavy from all sides. half the kids from the alt high school are identifying as some kind of forest creature or LGTQ+. something is amiss here. bottom line, kids in general ain't happy these days.
Wtf is "social contagion"? " Undoubtedly there are rampant misdiagnoses here that will be tragic." Why? Based on what? Even if this was true, how does Jordan Peterson hating trans people being in magazines solve this problem? What do you mean "affirming immediately without question"? What would the questions be? The only way to know if someone is trans is to ask them, the only person that knows your gender identity is yourself.
@@danielshepard1449 well there is a 4400% increase in the number of girls seeking treatment at gender clinics in the uk. 4400! The us has seen similar sharp rises though the centralized nature of the uk system makes it easier to compare. And we don’t see anything like this in other demographics of women- as we would expect if this were an organic, real presentation. These teenage girls also tend to very disproportionately be autistic. This population is where we see other social contagions break out such as eating disorders and cutting. And do you really not know what a social contagion is?The rate of transgenderism is increased significantly within friend groups as well. More so than would be expected simply from similar girls seeking each other out. And I don’t think I said anything about this being solved by Peterson so no idea what you’re talking about there. And as far as the immediate affirmation- the guidelines for psychologists/psychiatrists is to affirm whatever gender the child claims to have. Most people who understand the job will tell you that it is certainly not the role of any competent mental health worker to mindlessly affirm the self diagnosis of anyone, much less children. Reports from the mass exodus of employees at the Tavistock clinic (the uks one child gender clinic in the nhs) reported that children are too easily put on a track to transitioning- without the proper work and full understating of other factors that may play into the childrens’ self diagnoses. Just affirmation. We know from multiple studies that if children presenting with gender dysphoria are treated without transition, more than 80% will adjust and be satisfied with their body by adolescence. Most will be gay. If children are started on a transition- whether just socially or with hormone blockers- nearly 100% of them will continue on with transition. The thinking being it’s too difficult to go back when you’ve begun such a monumental process. So a life of constant medication, invasive surgery and questionable mental health outcomes await. It’s a cascading effect of medical intervention. Now granted these initial studies about the number of people ultimately comfortable in their bodies were done in boys. As girls presenting as transgender simply used to be a very rare occurrence. Now they are the OVERWHELMING majority at pediatric gender clinics. As it is there is almost CERTAINLY a large number of misdiagnoses being made. The numbers simply don’t add up. And how DOES one know their gender identity? Like how do you know what you are? May I ask what you identify as?
@Johnny Rotten sure I don’t agree with Jordan Peterson here (frankly I’m not sure he was even making coherent points here). I just don’t think it’s wise to gaslight about what we know is true. I thought Kyle did a great job overall it just irked me that he pretended there wasn’t very much a trend element to these identities for young people. That’s all.
And to add to his point, my nephew who identified as trans all through his teen years did in fact just become a gay man. When asked why he couldn’t differentiate his reply was, the groups I was talking with online had me convinced I liked other boys because I was actually trans and needed to be a woman. As he matured he decided he is 100% male and 100% likes males. You would think this is anti-gay in its motives.
I love how right wingers only argument is "trust me, I know a guy and he confirms everything I say about trans people!" you can make up any story you want on youtube. And even if the story is true it doesn't mean it represents the bigger picture.
There's nothing wrong with exploring your identity when you're a kid. Contrary to what Dr. Peterson states, doctors don't do any kind of gender transition surgery on minors. The most they do is hormone therapy, which is reversible and has well-known possible side effects (bone growth and fertility issues).
@@danielshepard1449 Ok so you agree that anecdotes are useless for the most part? Then why should we take the anecdotes that trans people are happy after transitioning as absolute gospel, while the suicide attempt rate has stayed the same if not higher? You're right, there is a bigger picture here, the problem is that no one actually knows what it is. Affirming and shutting down any dissenting opinions won't get us any closer. In my opinion, transitioning doesn't seem to be an absolute solution. It seems like a bandage. But hey, I'm probably transphobic for caring about trans people attempting to end their life.
@@danielshepard1449 It's not that every conservative knows a guy, it's that the majority of youths who feel trans turn out to be gay and grow out of their "trans phase." This is well documented from a psych perspective if you put 5 minutes into Googling it. Normally it wouldn't matter if they're truly gay or truly trans, but when you're talking putting the kid on hormone blockers during key pubescent years you risk permanent damage. Hormones have a large impact on development during those key years, and fucking with them can definitely have permanent consequences. The discussion when it comes to kids is if we should be letting kids make ever-lasting decisions about their bodies when they're 14, 15, 16 years old.
I love how Jordan isn’t talking about this like it’s acceptable. He is just being honest and true to what the actual issue is instead of looking at this through rose colored glasses
He's looking at it through the lens of someone who is totally ignorant of how people work and feel. No one just chooses whether they feel like they are male or female, just like no one chooses to like the same or opposite sex. These are choices made for you at an unconscious, physical level. The fact that that Jordan Peterson does not grasp this simple concept speaks volumes about his failure as both a psychologist and a rational and understanding human being.
@@jasonx7501 how do you figure he's a failure? Looking at his following and how successful he has been over the past years, I'd imagine there is a lot of people that think differently than you. How much thought have you put into trying to understand that maybe he's right?
@@jasonx7501 It’s ignorant to think children should undergo life altering surgery when they can’t make their own decisions let alone lead a life of their own at such an uncertain stage in their life. If I lived my life based on all of the fickle thoughts and feelings I had as a child I’d be considered delusional now. If it’s not ever a conscious decision then why do a certain percentage of people live to regret it years later? You just think all trans people are on the same wavelength like robots as if they are either trans or they aren’t. They have their individual thoughts and it’s very complex. So complex in fact that it’s almost as if people often don’t know what they want in life even if they think they do. Any honest psychologist understands that fact about human beings. I’m not just talking about trans people. I mean everyone experiences confusion about what they want to do with their life whether they feel unconsciously predisposed toward a certain direction or they consciously decide. And in most cases people make bad decisions.. whether it’s a conscious thing or an unconscious feeling that motivates you. People experience unconscious feelings all the time beyond sexuality and gender. Does that make it written in stone? Absolutely not because I’ve seen people go from one side of a spectrum to another based on regret. You obviously don’t understand how humans think. Humans aren’t defined by labels. It’s vastly complex. However there are biological truths like males and females. Being trans is not that. It is indeed both an unconscious feeling and a conscious choice depending on the person. I have unconscious feelings we call anxiety. I can’t always control it. Does that make it the natural way of things for me? Am I forever bound to a certain feeling just because it might be unconsciously engrained into me. No anyone can adapt to whatever they want to adapt to. We are not bound to our personal fleeting thoughts like it’s some kind of programming. We are bound to truths.
@@blairmaffin3287 Oh I have put enough thought into this man to see he speaks out of the mouth of his social edicts and religious hang ups. How does a clinical psychologist not understand that gender dysphoria is a rare yet real thing, and conflates it to being a fad? Wouldn't a clinical psychologist know that people who do experience gender dysphoria have as little control over their feelings as a gay person would about being attracted to same sex or a straight person being attracted to the opposite sex? Yet he approaches this easy to grasp concept like some kind of right-wing reactionary lune. Most people do not think differently than me about this, most people are grown up and understanding enough to approach this with a live-and-let-live attitude and not get sucked into a moral panic. You didn't think at all that Jordan Peterson is just looking at this as some irrational reactionary? Society is growing up, and it's leaving people who think like Peterson in the dust bin of history.
It is an absolute fact that this whole thing is with predominately teen girls, and it didn’t exist 10 years ago. Common this is a horrible fad that damages young females disproportionately.
Your comment perfectly illustrates the Dunning/Kruger effect as you seem overconfident and incapable of adequately assessing your own level of incompetence. As an education, spend a day perusing shemale porn and then try claiming this whole thing is with predominately teen girls. In fairness, you haven’t given the assessment of your own level of incompetence that would merit my opening claim. So, would you care to do so in a reply, or defend your initial truth claim that the trans issue and it’s externalities are matters of absolute fact?
Exactly that’s the one thing I notice now young women dating other women more then young guys dating other guys, I do really think that women are doing this more because they are confused and they want to fit into a “community” more than because they actually want to do that
I was someone who was an insecure young teenager because I did not feel "girly" enough. In those days there was no such thing as transitioning, and I am so glad there wasn't. If there had been I probably would have started the process of transitioning from a female to a male. In the end, all it took was me accepting the fact that I was simply a "Tom-boy" in those early adolescent years who liked doing all the guy things, and was more comfortable in pants than I was in a dress. Today, I am a happily married women (to a man) with two grown sons. So with that said, I think what JP is trying to say is that we need to stop telling young "Tom-boy" girls that they are really boys in stuck in a girls body. And we need to stop brainwashing their young little minds into believing they need to start transiting to feel good about themselves. Instead maybe all they need to do is simply wait to see how things play out once they have grown out of that terrible insecure adolescent stage.
Thanks for sharing this experience. So many people need to hear this!
I have yet to see any widespread evidence where health professionals, parents and adolescents involved make such a decision regarding sex/gender/surgery/medications rashly. Tomboy girls are not rare and this issue is not about misunderstanding such girls nor misunderstanding young men who have obvious feminine traits. I am not convinced there is a coordinated effort to brainwash young ones towards changing their gender. I do believe the stigma and vilification of these people has lifted somewhat, they are able to speak openly, assert rights and not be discriminated against. I also think exploration of the gender spectrum, sexual conduct, change and new tolerance is a much needed quality in society which this topic promotes.
This was your story. The issue is not being a “Tom-boy” is a literal feeling of not feeling the sex you were meant to be. It is NOT a stage... this is not even an issue! There are more issues for kids/teenagers not being able to identify with their sex to be. There’s a process that the child/teenager has to go through with many doctors. It’s their choice.
@@BlahblahblahblahblahblahblahFU being alike to something doesnt mean you are that 1:1 the same and that's what Tom-Boy means, alike, not the same, you need to go back to basic linguistics

I am gay and Jordan gets it when he says "LGBTQ is not a community" That is the truth. I am gay and I am not part of LGBTQ. I am an individual with my own beliefs and thoughts and it is often contrary to the beliefs of LGBTQ. I just happen to be gay.
This gay man agrees. It was important to me in the 70s, 80s, not so by 90s. It got more 'edgy' for me .. NAMBLA, other stuff. Haven't been to one in over 20 years. Maybe I'm old and grouchy but would never take kids to one. At least not in SF, LA.
NO! You ARE part of "it." And, you didn't just "happen" to "be" gay. You "chose" homosexuality as your preferred lifestyle, no different from a women who chooses to be a lesbian or a man a gigolo and so on. Trans is a grossly dysphoric psychological condition where the focus is entirely different, a rejection of one's own physical being. Very sad. The most obvious evidence is that LGTBQ+ individuals demand that "others" embrace, not just accept their dysphoria. My response is to quote Dr. Peterson: "You can go to hell in a hand-basket."
This bisexual woman also agrees. I've lost so many friends in recent years because they have subscribed to insanity.

My daughter is 14 and wants top surgery and it’s maddening because she’s shown no signs of being trans or gay until very recently and it really feels like she’s hopping on a crazy trend and we’re having fights about it. It sucks for parents.
Stay strong. It would be incredibly unloving to allow her to mutilate her body. One day she’ll thank you.
you can just say to her "You're too young now but when you turn to an adult you can do whatever that makes you happy" simple as that :)
Obviously I don’t know how at this point you’ve discussed things with them. But I think a compromise could be offered if it hasn’t already. Binders could be a relatively good compromise as long as they’re used in a safe way along with the usage of sports bras, undershirts etc. I would also add that a component could be respecting how they want to be called if it’s different than how they’re already being called. Like using son or referring to them as a he. Even if you feel internally that they’re still your daughter. I would also give them the space to understand that they can explore this without it being a commitment and can change if they feel they want to. If we look at as in they are trans and they really do feel that way then not offering any compromises could be cruel and hurt your relationship even more. Or on the other hand if they feel like they might like this way better than how they are now offering comprises may help them get closer to what they feel they desire. They try it out and know that maybe this isn’t for me and change back to female pronouns etc. On the note of surgery again I have no idea how you’ve talked about it but I would state that there are many surgeons that won’t operate on young trans or even older trans people until they show signs of body dysmorphia for around 3-4 years. I would also note that if they are trans while their breasts may be a big point of dysmorphia, surgery will be just as effective at any age. I would note that this feels really new to you that surgery is a huge commitment and I would advise saying how you feel really uncomfortable with this aspect and you love them but you aren’t comfortable with surgery at this stage and instead offer in other ways (binders, undershirts, pronouns, maybe a short haircut etc.) to help explore this side of them they want to change. It’s also good to inform them of the risks of binding and help them make that decision if they even want to go there. I hope I could offer some advice.
My own personal experience when I was a teenager at one point I cut my hair very short and started dressing very masculine and I had never heard of a trans person. But I did stick out a bit and felt weird in regards to femininity what was expected to be feminine and a woman and masculinity. I just was at a weird space I was around 15. However I never felt that I was stuck in the wrong body but I did have a desire to fully dress up as a guy sometimes. I watched a video later about someone transitioning to be transgender and I cried and thought that could be me however 2 days later I realized that it wasn’t. And later on in that year I was misgendered as male and it didn’t feel right or comfortable. I guess at that time I was reestablishing my feelings about expectations and gender presentation. It took me a while but I slowly over the years dressed as more feminine and dissociated feminine clothing as being an entirely very womanly woman. I knew right away pretty much that it didn’t feel right. So I think it’s best to let them explore and I think they will come into their own and figure things out.
Ma6be connect her with the detrans network where she can hear another perspective? There are a lot of young women there who feel mislead by the clinics and she might relate to their warnings
She's being brainwashed by the cult of her friends that aren't really her friends. She is too young to even have her own Smart Phone, much less be discussing things like this. Smart Phones are a direct plug to the mind virus going around now, and I'm a former Geek that loved Tech and used to promote "Information wants to be free!" but even I have seen what Social Networks are doing to young peoples minds.

Though I disagree with Kyle and agree with Dr. Peterson, I do think that Peterson got a bit heated and I appreciate that Kyle kept his cool and stayed respectful. I have a lot of respect for him for that
Quite
I found Kyle to bit a bit more snarky instead of respectful. Peterson did seem to snap at him every once in a while though.
Even so, great conversation to watch and look forward to more
Even the sudden "realization" by millions of Californian kids that they "must be gay" is part of the peer pressure based on the artificially created gender madness.
He should be heated. After all it's kids we are talking about. They are impressionable and we as adults have a responsibility to protect. The left have this idea that kids will save adults. Thats never happened in any ancient society or after for a good reason.
Sad that Peterson wasn't. He wasn't even this disrespectful towards the GQ woman.

I can't like a society that deems all men toxic, and when little boys say, "I don't want to be toxic", they surgically alter them.
As a therapist who has worked with a client who regretted making and early decision about transitioning with surgery and hormones we do have to look at the harm in these procedures at young ages. They are life time decisions you can’t just change back. And it’s a big deal to take hormones and the effects on the body.

It's why i love Jordan Peterson, he actually stops and thinks about the questions and his answers before answering.
The answer is "yes" but the ramifications of saying that would be disastrous especially in America where they celebrate Ultra liberalism and Hedonism. America is so morally bankrupt got any restriction on "freedom" is seen as anathema.
The fact that gender reassignment surgery exists is Testament to how obscene and degenerate your Society has become
The answer is pretty simple. Abolish gender completely. The reality is that gender is made up, as much as 'race' is - and is just as meaningful/less.
Gender is cultural / social / fashion.
I think people are less likely to undergo surgery if they are allowed to present as one gender and retain their original genitalia - it follows logically. The definition of man and woman should not be about penises and vaginas.

We need more conversations like this, even if it gets heated yet still remains civil (no cutting into each other with personal insults or escalation past that). What we don't need is when someone tries to shut down the entire conversation by saying that the other's words lead to violence.
Debates don't do anything. The best way for right wingers to stop hating trans people is for them to actually know people who are trans and understand and have empathy for them, debates don't help that. Jordan Peterson is never going to change his mind about anything. You can see from how defensive he was and how he tried to change the subject whenever Kyle pressed him.

I'm an ex trans woman. Medically transitioned, and lived as a woman for almost 4 years.
I found it to only be a mental illness, and it should not be encouraged.
But I do believe adults should have the right to do what they want with their body, BUT with access to unbiased information to make an INFORMED decision.
We do not have that now. We have subjective and misrepresented information being peddled by the medical and academic communities, and both children and adults are making harmful decisions because they are told it is medically necessary.
What do you say about those who transition and accept it? Do they not exist?
@SivasankaranSumathi Citation needed.
I knew it was mental illness long before this. I've been saying this for a decade.
I don't think you are. I kind of think you're full of crap. Kinda fishing for likes, and you're bored.
@SivasankaranSumathi do you have any proof of that?
I can speak first hand on this. My daughter was a socially awkward kid much like I was. When the “scene” phase hit schools I followed that trend and grew out of it. But tight pants and goofy hair didn’t have any long term adverse effects, besides some ribbing later on.
Now this transgender and identifying with your pronouns has hit the schools; and my daughter has followed suit. One day it was she was weirded out by her peers. Then she said she was pan and gained some more friends. When her first friend came over it was clear what was going on. These are just awkward kids looking to fit in. Now my daughter is talking about hormone blockers. Her mother is unquestioning and supports her. Meanwhile I’m absolutely terrified she has no idea about the full ramifications of what this means.
Luckily my daughter is smart enough to have reasonable conversations with me. After many talks she has came to the conclusion that she is lesbian.
But I’m afraid for other children where the parents are too afraid to talk to their children on these matters.
80% of dysphoric children turn out to be gay. So this 'affirmative' principle - 'acceptance without question' is in fact gay conversion therapy for a majority of children. Your daughter is lucky that she had you as a parent, you have saved her from doing something that she would have regretted the rest of her life.
What idiots like Peterson seem to neglect is gender dysphoria is an actual real thing. It is something that affects a person at a physical level, it's not something you just choose to have or decide you want to be to "fit in". You can find a doctor that can give her a proper diagnosis to find out if her dysphoria is real or "just a phase".
Her mother is stupid and her daughter sexually confused
So you people are now saying trans people are just gay? I feel like I have been plopped back into the 80's.
you are so right at that age you have literally not a clue what it means to take hormone blockers or have these surgeries and just how irreversible it is. I feel for you man you're really up for it because you can't let your daughter do this to herself but her and your wife are going to fight you. You really need to get your wife on the same page as you, this sh*t is really bad idea. When she gets a little older and realizes what she did to herself was a huge mistake and is irreversible she could possibly become suicidal. Kids will do whatever to fit in to the point of multilating themselves and that fact that people are condoning it makes me fu*cking sick. Whoever thinks we should give hormone blockers to kids so they can "become" the opposite gender should be shot.

Good conversation. Props to Kyle for hanging in with a passionate, very articulate and learned professor. I find that Jordan voices concerns that many others should have.

@@sdefonta I think what he means is that they weren't so fast to label him as trans. Humans thrive off of labels and subconsciously conform to them. Another thing is that some people are so accepting of it, that one gets positive affirmation and feedback if they label themself as it. To a child that is still developing and building/discovering their identity, it is all too easy to influence them with conditioning (in this case, positive affirmation for the label). When I was a child just wanted to have fun and be accepted by my parents, and they were proud of me and called me brave when I dressed up as a girl, I would have done it more often. When positive attributes are put on a label, why wouldn't a kid want to be brave and beutiful?
Bi people don't transition, you donkey.
Good story. Edit to add /s.
I agree with Jordan that a celebrity can influence thousands of youngsters into doing something they will most likely regret at some point. The consequences are monumental. Body parts gone forever, sterilization, girls balding like men. Openly accepting this is agreeing to voluntary human torture.
Now apply that same argument to the overwhelming standard of hetero society standards.
How many women get breast enhancement because it is so fundamentally tied to what makss them valuable?
How many boys dont take baking class for being labeled a sissy?
How many men and women get married because socially it is what is expected of them culturally and in a family environment?
Influence works both ways and you should be honest about how it impacts both side.
Gay, trans , straight etc. The core problem is hyper masculinity and hyper femininity . The core problem is in one person defining what is “just” for another where there is no actual harm being done.
The hypocrisy comes out when the solution to your problem is not making surgery permissible for those below maybe 18 years of age and allowing adults to be able to choose what they want to do with their own body. But you wont like this solution will you. You'll come up with some other excuse to not allow it probably because it goes against your bigoted religious views.
Yep just look at all the drag 80s hair band rock and even prince.
There has been quite the extensive studies regarding to that subject. It's not as bad as some conservatives try to make it look.
It’s like you think getting these surgeries is as easy as going to the store and buying candy. There is a lengthy process involved and statistically only 1% of people regret transitioning which is lower rate than most major life decisions. 14 % of people regret getting tattoos, for example. Please learn the processes and procedures involved before spreading alarmist propaganda about them.
Old gay here with a spouse who has diagnosed dysphoria (diagnosed almost twenty years ago mind you). The only reason I mention that is to provide context. Dr. Peterson, generally speaking, is spot on regarding contemporary trans issues, especially when it comes to Page.
And no Kyle, (2:00), the trans issue is not the same as the gay issue from before. Being-trans is, in no uncertain terms, an existential incongruity whereas sexual preference is a matter of a priori taste (for lack of better words). The two things are not even in the same ballpark as each other at the level of concept. The two categories were lumped together for so longed, typically because of shared sexual interest and because both demographics were legitimately, systemically oppressed e.g. no state recognition of natural rights such as marriage, or the right to serve openly in the military , the latter of which actually warranting some attention when it comes to military readiness (i.e. a person who requires constant, uninterrupted chemical therapy cannot serve in a forward location).
Final note: Again, Dr. Peterson is right, especially now. (7:10) There is no community. Shared sexual interest constitutes a community about as much as shared interest in ice cream flavor or television programming, maybe less so. In the latter half of the 20th century it might have been a community, but nothing of the sort exists now outside of individuals so shallow in their character that all they can be "proud" of is the types of bodies they spend physically intimate moments with.

Given how often gay people express gender non conforming traits and interests there’s probably a continuum or some overlap on a biological level for what we now separate as gender and sexuality. In many cultures that acknowledge homosexuality view it in gendered terms. I do see how what is asked of society by being trans is distinct.
@@metatypology Yeah, gay women and men consistently find themselves somewhere in the middle of male and female physical and mental traits. This is true for both "butch" and "fem" lesbians and whatever the male gays call such a pair.
You’re gay but support Jordan outlawing trans people and homosexuality? Ok self hater
//Final note: Again, Dr. Peterson is right, especially now. (7:10) There is no community. Shared sexual interest constitutes a community about as much as shared interest in ice cream flavor or television programming//
The word "community" has been commonly used to describe a group of people who share a specific trait since well before you were born. I promise you Jordan Peterson isn't "right" about his claim just because he says so hahaha! I've heard people describe themselves as being part of the "bird watching community" or that they work in the "scientific community" and have heard many gay people from old to young describe the local "gay community" where they live. It is a pretty post modern idea though that a word with a long accepted common use just doesn't get to mean that now based on criteria Jordan can't name.
//In the latter half of the 20th century it might have been a community, but nothing of the sort exists now outside of individuals so shallow in their character that all they can be "proud" of is the types of bodies they spend physically intimate moments with.//
I remember when conservatives in the latter half of the 20th century painted people like you as all a bunch of degenerates who secretly just wanted to hurt little boys. They also didn't have any evidence to back up what they said. They also pained a huge group of people based on small fractions of people they knew about.
When Jordan spoke against bull C-16 I supported him because I’m against legally compelled speech. I totally agree with him that they shouldn’t allow surgery or anything permanent to children until they’re 18. The bridge too far for me is not allowing adults to make their own decisions. If an adult wants to transition they should be able to and if they are open about it, that’s fine too.
Also I do find it kind of funny that trans issues are such a huge thing and a topic that’s constantly covered, meanwhile I’ve met maybe 2 trans people in my entire life lol. The way they make it sound it’s like they’re as common as gay people
You supported someone who LIED about C-16? That's sad.
His interpretation of Bill c-16 was hyperbolic.

We need more people that interview and talk like you. As someone who leans right, it's refreshing to see someone on the left speak to someone with likely opposing views with civility. It seemed it even took Jordan back at first - as if he was expecting a confrontation and instead got a proper debate. Depressingly uncommon nowadays.
to bad peterson didn't respond in kind huh? or is civility only warranted from one side?
@@jerkchickenblog in kind? Since when do you need to be kind in a discussion? If you were kind, you wouldn’t even get anything productive done. You wouldn’t even tackle these issues because you’d be scared to be unkind. These discussions are complex discussions where pushback WILL happen. They are so complex that multiple connections are made to the “main question”. This is not a black and white issue.
For example, did you really think a question about adults doing whatever the fuck they want in society wouldn’t get children involved in that discussion when adults and children are so deeply intertwined to such a degree that they can’t live without each other? The thing that actually annoyed me as well is the fact that he tried to move the topic away from children. That WAS a confrontation, a confrontation to avoid talking about the elephant in the room. Why? Is it because the moment you bring in children, your arguments sounds very wrong and evil? The “let’s get back to the main question” is a pretty terrible attempt of actually dismissing Jordan’s points on the involvement of children, individuals that are actually deeply rooted into the question itself. It was quite obvious and I’m sure Jordan picked up on this confrontation as well. That was the remarks he was mentioning (I’m sure he also picked up on some more queues to make an educated guess) that pointed towards his beliefs though I’ll have to give it to the other because he didn’t mention his belief so Jordan had no concrete proof that was his belief even when his after remarks pointed towards his stance of that matter.
Now the question becomes more of a “should adults do whatever the fuck they want without any responsibilities for the sake of freedom of expression” or “should adults take responsible actions in their lives because the next generation of kids are watching with hawk eyes and responsible actions will also help these adults in the long run.” (Btw, I still consider people “kids” until their brain have fully matured which is at the age of 26, even if the law considers them adults at 18.) For example, would you do a drag show in front of kids? You’re an adult, you’re free to do whatever the fuck you want (even these are limited like you can’t commit crimes) and you’re not responsible for some other parents bringing their kids to your drag shows but would you take the moral responsibility of at least requesting for no kids at your drag shows?
We already have the answer and these adults picked the first option. They don’t give a shit about who they hurt as long as it’s within the law and they will even influence the next generation of kids just because they want society to be painted in their color. The question is “can we ban adults doing bad things in society” and it’s obviously a bad thing considering all the negative effects that are happening to those young folks and to western society as a whole. Look into what Marxism is and how they are reflected in the alphabet group (and more). Like Jordan said, you might have saved one person but you doomed a 1000 more.
So do we allow adults to negatively fuck up their own life and influence children into making the same mistake (look at the suicide rate statistics after transitioning and no it’s not a bully thing because if it was, we’d have an epidemic of suicides in the past when people were more critical of bs, and that didn’t happen) all in the name of freedom of expression, or do we ban those things from happening for the sake of these kids not turning into these shit shows? And that’s a complex question to answer.
Protect kids by putting a limit on freedom of expression, specially the bad expressions, or protect all freedom of expression regardless if they’re good or bad and just don’t interfere at all and let these kids make the same mistakes in their lives when they grow up. Another example is like saying if a group’s freedom of expression is to worship Satan and adults have to willingly sacrifice their lives to it, do we protect that freedom of expression or do we ban it because we know it’s gonna turn more kids (and adults) suicidal. The “I don’t know” answer is perfectly understandable specially when it comes from Jordan’s character.
@@jesspeed "in kind" does not mean to be kind. It simply means to respond in the same manner. For example, if Person A was being nice to Person B, then for Person B to respond "in kind" they would be nice back. However, if Person A were to be aggressive to Person B, then for Person B to respond "in kind" they would respond aggressively back. Nothing to do with kindness, just a strange quirk of the english language
@@jesspeed I respectfully disagree with your stance on trans adults and their influence on children. It is important to recognize that trans individuals are not inherently immoral or harmful to society. In fact, research shows that trans youth who are supported in their gender identity have better mental health outcomes and a lower risk of suicide. Additionally, it is important for all individuals, including children, to have representation and visibility in society.
It is not the responsibility of trans adults to shield children from the reality of their existence. It is the responsibility of parents and caregivers to educate their children and foster open-mindedness and acceptance. And while some may argue that trans individuals performing in drag shows or other public events may be inappropriate for children, it is important to remember that these events are not solely for children and that parents have the ability to decide what is appropriate for their own children to attend.
Finally, I urge you to consider the impact of language like 'the alphabet group' and accusations of Marxism, as they serve only to marginalize and further stigmatize a vulnerable community.

Jordan, as a gay man, thank you so much for saying that we are not a "community." You are one of the very few straight people who realize this. Gay people do not need to cut off body parts, and take drugs to accept ourselves. We have ZERO in common with the TQ+ Cult. Love your common sense approach to things.
Because Jordan is a good clinical psychologist.
That was refreshing. Why can’t our politicians have a conversation like this
Well honestly nothing was accomplished here in my opinion..
@@randall7853 agreed. But there was a actual conversation. Unlike with the Senator Hawley and the professor.
you must be new here.
@@Dave-space I’m sorry. I’m don’t think I understand. Are you saying that Jordan Peterson has 1% brain capacity?
Politicians do not have talks like this because their goal is to not solve the issue.
Their goal is to maximize the political power the issue can generate. The traditional next step is to then use that power to serve their financial or political bases.
Solving the “problem” is akin to asking a farmer to not utilize his most fertile land.
I love that Jordan literally just wants to uncover the truth, not his truth. You rarely see an academic admit they don't know the answer to something, and especially when they literally vocalize weighing out the pros and cons.
Completely disagree - I hear academics say I don’t know all the time..
Meanwhile, JP’s ‘unbiased’ world view just so happens to align with almost everything conservatives believe - including climate change denial, lower taxes, and anti-BLM. He frequently cites wrong statistics that fit his beliefs.
@@Dudemar0 Those beliefs you just cited are not exclusive to conservatives; many liberals hold those views as well. Secondly, Peterson does not deny climate change; he actually stated (after reading a lot of literature) that the data of what he's read seems accurate. He only thinks that it's mostly been construed erroneously; that change is necessary, but the best approach is discuss and plan; not to panic, develop authoritarian tactics, and kill millions of poor people in the process. That sounds to be a reasonable view to me.
@@Emloch Petersons approach is indistinguishable in results and agenda when it comes to climate change. It essentially bids us to do nothing while donning the facade of being proactive and pensive. The science is rather clear and the rate of warming is unprecedented on the paleoclimate record. If we reach a 4C world in the next century, it will be catastrophic. Peterson is exaggerating "panicking". Perhaps we should.
I also take Peterson with a grain of salt because he tends to veer from science and the scientific method when supporting points. He'll often conflate analytical and experminetal psychology since he realizes his audience will often be able to tell the difference. His arguements on religion such as with Matt just left me bewildered.

He's been trained by his handlers to narrativize a talking point because it'll get people riled up.
I'm with Jordan on this one. Unfortunately it's hard to argue with people who argue with their gut and not their brain
Peterson was literally seething answering basic questions. If he weren't such a beloved online guru you'd all be makikg fun of him for acting 'like a woman'. Goddamn, so much emotion and such little facts. Did you actually take the time to research any of the studies he cited?
@@MonkeyDIvan It's called passion and conviction, he knows what he is talking about. And he does have plenty to back it up. Are you qualified to make this judgement on him ? Are you even taking into account the amount of different people he speaks with on a consistent basis? I wonder how you would be emotionally if you were constantly being harassed and threatened wherever you went. I think he does a wonderful job of maintaining sanity. Have you ever thought that he actually cares deeply for people and their "long term" well being? Not their short term emotional relief. Jordan knows there is deeper issues that need to be addressed in most cases.
Liberals get way too emotional to think straight. I know I was one for 30 years. I never understood why conservatives hated people so much. It wasn't that at all though. I just wasn't thinking. I wanted the best for everyone even if it screwed everything up. I didn't think it all the way through to the end. I know for sure that's what's wrong with most liberals. It's all about, well it makes me feel good now so that's what we are doing.
Peterson is completely wrong when he says “all of that is wrong” regarding the magazine point. Hopefully it will be obvious but he’s rejecting the idea that awareness of a gay or trans person having a life in a magazine article will encourage a person to come out.
There of course are many cases of this. People hear about something because media is able to print that story about a persons life. It no longer becomes something to hide and ridicule. So others who share the same attribute will “come out” and express something that they otherwise would not.
I always respect when someone can admit that they do not know and need to think about and discuss something more
I have worked with adolescent girls for many years. I used to see lots of goth kids, then later emo kids, now every kid that would likely have adopted those trends, identities as "trans". It seems to be the current way to reject societal norms, rebel, stand out, get attention, etc. Most have also seen violent porn and seem terrified to be girls, fearing that is what it means to be female. That is a huge part of this that is not discussed enough. It is heartbreaking.
Yes, it’s mostly girls who have internalized extreme amounts of misogyny, so they turn their backs on and attack their own sex by saying that biological sex does not exist and that women don’t exist. It’s an act of betrayal by radicalized, entitled, violent women and girls trying to erase the very existence of the woman. They sicken me.
Excellent comment.
Agreed.
They are terrified to be girls because they seen violent porn?
Really, dude?...
it is not a "huge" part of this nd it isnt discussed at least on the scientific level because it is completely irrelevant. The problem i have with most ppl discussing trans issues is that most people seem to go with baseless deductive reasoning that completely ignores the science and the sadest part is that jordan is doing the samething which makes his motivation more nefarious since he isnt ignorant on the scientific front so he is purposefully avoiding the scientific data and chooses to describe puberty blockers as brutal for kids when the reality is absolutely not anywhere near that. if a kid say 8 is given puberty blockers they CAN de-transition whenever they want to, which a very small minority of them, about 2.5% choose to, so him describing it as this insane brutal procedure is just an absolute lie
Dr Peterson has my respect and he is correct 💯❤️.
He’s incorrect
My late father was a transexual, full post op - we were very close and I loved him dearly. Becoming a woman was the beginning of the end for him, the surgeries and hormones were hell on his body, and in the end he did not stand by his decision to become a woman, as he found that life was no better as a man or a woman. I am with Jordan on this one.
If you don't like yourself as one sex, switching to another won't change that --and will only cause more trouble in your life.
Powerful. People forget that it is a medical procedure. Medical procedures have massive risks. They should never be undertaken unless absolutely necessary. Joan Rivers went for her hundredth facelift and it wiped her our

Why he's talking to this idiot is baffling .. Peterson is a gem and ol slime shady thinks he knows it all and truthfully just a moron ..its almost a joke
I grew up with a best friend who was convinced she was a boy from around 8-9 to 15. She was dressing like a boy, spoke and acted like a boy, had girlfriends, and even at some point wished she had male genitalia.
When she touched on 16-17 years old, she did a 180 degree turn. Told me she was confused as hell and that I should forget about it and act like it didn’t happen, since she was embarrassed of the degree to which she was previously confused, and what path of behaviour that led her to.
She is 27 today, happily married and waiting on her second child.
Moral of the story: if we were living in a culture back then when these mutilation surgeries were promoted in my country, she would very likely now be regretting it, her depression would get worse and who knows, she might have even ended it all.
I agree with Jordan, this is extremely dangerous.
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your story about your friend. It sounds like she went through a lot of confusion when she was younger, but eventually figured things out and is now living a happy life. That's great to hear!
I understand your concerns about gender reassignment surgeries, but I don't think it's fair to generalize based on one person's experience. There are many trans people who feel much happier and more comfortable after transitioning, and I think it's important to respect their choices.
It's also worth noting that these surgeries are not taken lightly and are only recommended after extensive evaluation by medical professionals. It's not like people just walk into a clinic and demand surgery without any thought or consideration.
Overall, I think it's important to listen to and support trans people in their journeys. It's not our place to judge or dictate what's best for them. Let's all just strive to be kind and understanding towards one another!
@@wessel5799 Hello, thanks for your reply.
I am definitely not generalizing at all since, as I mentioned in my initial comment, I see it as "extremely dangerous". So, while I completely acknowledge the fact that it can have positive outcomes in many cases, I cannot just ignore the negative outcomes either. So my concern isn't the surgery itself per se, even though I do consider it quite horrid which is why I characterized it as "mutilation". My concern is: what about the people who are simply confused, and then go and do something that they will later regret? There should be someone who is held accountable for that, in this specific example. So for me the solution to this is something along the lines of: Set the age eligibility for such surgeries around the early to mid-twenties, when we at least have an almost fully developed brain which is capable of consciously make decisions and be responsible for those decisions.
There should have been a long parameter-setting discourse that needed to be done on the public level, as well as the legislative level, before surgeries like these are made available to the general public. And some might say: "Okay, that discussion has actually been done already which is why the surgeries are available". But that is far from reality, because the world is still very much divided about this, even amongst the LGBTQ + community. I have a lot of gay friends and 2 friends that are trans, who think that these surgeries are dangerous as well. In fact one of the aforementioned trans friends is someone who transitioned, regretted it, and then transitioned back. But again of course this is an anecdotal experience and should not be generalized, as you said as well. But, we cannot ignore the existence of these people and we cannot ignore the dangers and potential irreversible harm that such a surgery can do to a person.
So my conclusion is, I very much agree with your sentiment of listening and understanding, not only is that the only way forward for humanity, but it is also part of my job. But it would be completely disingenuous of me to ignore the risks and potential harm I mentioned above. It would also be completely disingenuous of me to ignore the potential good it can do for some people, therefore, it is a conversation that still needs to continue, and rash decisions should not be put into legislation and healthcare institutions. My bottom line gets crossed is when they make the surgeries available to teens, who are by and large not even able to cook a full meal for themselves, keep their room in order or decide what they want to do with their life. Hence the danger.
Hope you have a nice day!
@@PellosMaxhthc Hello Leslie, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate your concern for the potential risks and negative outcomes of gender-affirming surgeries. It is important to have a thoughtful and nuanced discussion about the benefits and risks of these surgeries before making them available to the public.
However, I must respectfully challenge some aspects of your position. First, referring to gender-affirming surgeries as "mutilation" is not an accurate or respectful way to describe a medical procedure that can significantly improve the quality of life for trans individuals.
Additionally, while it is true that there should be age restrictions and a thoughtful approach to offering gender-affirming surgeries, it is important to recognize that teens who are experiencing gender dysphoria are often in significant distress and may benefit from these surgeries as a part of their gender-affirming treatment plan. It is also worth noting that many medical professionals and organizations, such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, recommend that hormone therapy and surgery be made available to patients who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
Finally, it is important to remember that each person's experience with gender and gender dysphoria is unique, and we must avoid making broad generalizations based on anecdotal experiences. While it is certainly possible for someone to experience regret or dissatisfaction after a gender-affirming surgery, studies have shown that the vast majority of trans individuals report significant improvements in their mental health and overall well-being after these procedures.
I hope that we can continue this conversation with respect and empathy for all individuals who are impacted by these issues. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
@@wessel5799 now that you're done virtue signalling, can you shut up and stay that way?
@@wessel5799 I don't disagree with you, other than to say that it is NOT after extensive counseling and therapy that gender affirming care is recommended, it is more and more being recommended immediately, after only one session. That's the issue.

You can have your own preferences, but you cannot IMPOSE your perception to others.
I'm a trans woman and transitioning has made me significantly happier, but I definitely agree it's not for children. The way that's being pushed on them is nuts
We really need more sensible trans people like yourself to speak out on that. You're an adult, you can make your own decisions. A child's mind is easily molded. As a parent your job is to guide your child onto a healthy fulfilling path while trying your hardest not to warp their mind into what that path might be. The left ideology is doing it's damnedest to warp it for you.

Do you feel 'slighted' if someone - upon learning that you are actually a man - doesn't wish to accept your 'womanhood'? Do you think the society should be forced to accept you as a 'woman' even though you aren't a woman, in fact?

I love to see the discourse, and the open discussion we need more of this in every regard
Jordan is right about the community description. I’ve noticed that we never hear from trans people who are concerned bout young people being in danger of making the wrong decision. They are not a homogenous group. They have differing opinions. We only think of them as all the same.
Who said communities are necessarily "homogenous groups"? The etymology of "community" means "to go/move with" and is related to "common". The word can refer to subgroups that have narrow interests "in common", but most often it refers to large-ish groups whose only fundamental commonality is that they share the same living space, such as towns and cities. But if you want to insist the word is misapplied and inappropriate, what other word would you use to refer to people who have identification with LGBTQ+ issues?

Thank you Kyle for having this debate with Dr. Peterson. This is how these conversations and debates should be, ask questions, think critically and be willing to change your mind.
I didn't get the sense that Kyle was open to having his mind changed at all. He was very dismissive of Jordan's arguments, e.g. "I just don't believe it's a moral panic" in the face of the reported evidence of over triple-digit percentage increases in trans-identifying individuals in only one specific more vulnerable sub-group.
Jordan made a pretty important point about the impact of celebrities using social media platforms to publically celebrate their transitions on children confused by this relatively new wave gender ideology.
If Elliot Paige had made a post celebrating their purchase of a new hunting rifle they intend to use for sport shooting, the left would have been chomping at the bit to condemn such a "problematic" post in the wake of America's real problem with gun violence. But here we have a case clearly identified, with a real social contagion is sweeping across the western world and affirmative care mandated placed upon the medical institutions is having a real measurable damaging effect on the lives of children and young people, celebrities are not using care not to promote their own personal decisions to transition, meanwhile, folks on the left like Kyle hold their hand s up and say they "aren't taken a position" on the children issue. It's supremely hypocritical.
if kyle could think critically this discussion wouldn't be happening in the first place
What I truly love about Dr. Peterson (among so many things) is that he chooses and uses words with such precision. He knows how critical it is to not blend words carelessly.

Ofcourse, mutilate your body all you want. Just don't make it accesible for kids. People have been doing things to change their bodies for the entirety of human history.

I think the trans movement is going to end up doing far more damage than good but I agree that adults if mentally well should be able to do what they want.
"I believe adults should have complete autonomy over their bodies"
Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID) is a rare, infrequently studied and highly secretive condition in which there is a mismatch between the mental body image and the physical body. Subjects suffering from BIID have an intense desire to amputate a major limb or severe the spinal cord in order to become paralysed.
Do you think that adults with BIID should have the right to have themselves mutilated?

Kudos to these two... both of these fellas adeptly raised interesting aspects of this topic.
Debates solve nothing.
No we need reality
Taking Kyle's anecdote of the trans person who felt their transition was beneficial, I completely understand Peterson's reluctance to blindly accept that as a positive outcome. Kyle says, "Who am I to say (they aren't happy)?" As a lay person that is sertainly the case but, as a physician or clinical psychologist, we can't speak for long term effects - either medical or psychological - with certainty. In that setting a clinical endorsement is arguably irresponsible. To take a different example sometimes patients come to me (a clinician) with chronic pain who demand that, all they need, is as much morphine/demerol/vicodin etc. they can handle. Should I just give it to them because they asked for it or does my clinical knowledge task me with a more informed opinion?
I don't know if it is that different from what Plastic Surgeons have to decide. I think there could be a very strong argument to be made that plastic surgeons can never predict the long term medical or psychological consequences of their work on each particular patient. It varies from patient to patient. Should we outlaw plastic surgery? It"s not medically necessary. I think if there is 100% evidence that the outcomes are always negative, then perhaps it should be outlawed. However, that certainly is hard to prove when the negative side effects are often mostly psychological and not physical. This is unlike the example you gave of giving too much morphine where potential side effects are more physical (not psychological) and easier to prove as negative.
@@CJ-mq3mk I disagree. The consequences of gender reassignment are not merely cosmetic, such as with a face-lift. Remember, this also involves manipulation of hormones and removal of hormone-producing organs. In that setting we have to consider long term consequences such as osteoporosis, risk of thrombotic events such as pulmonary embolism, coronary disease, stroke and to various forms of cancer. This is not to mention whether or not the long term psychological benefit truly is positive or if there is underlying depression or psychosis that gets worse or ignored. I'm not saying this should be illegal, but I'm also not sure we know enough to say that it is necessary beneficial in all cases. I think Peterson alluded to a statistic that suicide rates don't improve after gender reassignment and, possibly, even get worse. In light of that I would certainly want to know more about the condition and the procedure before I endorse it in every case.
I am in clinical practice and I happen to have some transgender patients in my panel. I can think of two cases where the person regretted their decision to transition for medical and psychological reasons, both. In both cases they stopped taking their hormones and, without the resources, support or courage to detransition, remain disfigured in their own eyes. One expressed to me that the overwhelming "encouragement" he had in the beginning was effectively coercive, although he doesn't want to blame anyone for a decision he ultimately made for himself. He just wished he had been exposed to a counter argument. Interestingly the supportive community wasn't really there for him anymore when he felt he made a bad decision.

"I'm a woman but I feel Like I should be a man" is to me a strange statement as the only person that can know what a man feels is a woman who has feelings they think and believe are those of a man.
A woman can feel something that makes them uncomfortable unhappy about being a woman such as having masculine tendencies or being sexually attracted to other women but I don't think that equates to having the feelings of a man as whatever feelings this woman has while inhabiting a female body can't be those of a man as she isn't one.
To claim to be something you aren't or have never been by experiencing feelings you could never have is illogical and self deceiving just as a man who believes they should be a woman while never knowing or understanding the lived and felt experience of a woman is feeling something dysmorphic but could never know what its like to menstruate, be pregnant, give birth or experience menopause etc.
They are feeling something that is making them unhappy in their own bodily existence but to know exactly that those feelings are those of the opposite sex is impossible to verify and believe.
Being unhappy with what sex you were born doesn't make you something else, it just makes you unhappy with the reality of what you actually are and having a lot of work to do in accepting reality.
Omg!! Thank you for putting my thoughts down better than I could have. 👍🏼
I agree with everything you said, but how you or I feel about it is largely irrelevant. If an adult is feeling overwhelmingly that they should be the opposite sex then they should be free to make whatever decision about their body they feel the need to make. How much work should they do first on trying to 'accept their reality' and who should oversee that they've done that work before they decide to transition?
I wonder what you’d think of the male who’s bitched circumcision led to his being raised as a girl. He was never comfortable with it and grew up to become a man again, eventually committing suicide. If all he ever knew was being a girl, how could he have desired to be a man?

Elliot will never live up to the religious and moral standards of JP, or anyone on the right-wing. He has no responsibility for what children make of him and shouldn't be guilted into concessions by anyone. JP essentially makes the same irrational arguments presented to Marilyn Manson after the Columbine shooting, and violent video games.
@joeymchavarti Jordan Peterson has benzodiazepine.. wich is why I applaud him even more for doing what he's doing.
Agree with Jordan, its way more important to have an opinion of what is done to children, it's less important to have a strong opinion of what adults do to their bodies. Hopefully, Kyle will make up his mind of what he thinks about how kids are being influenced today.
sensitivities about how kids feel shouldnt regulate how & what an adult can do

Sometimes anger is an appropriate emotion when children are being indoctrinated, given irreversible, life-altering surgeries, and are dosed by “medical professionals” who give them hormones that their bodies normally don’t produce in large quantities on its own. Perhaps it’s correct to be mad as hell when they’re told their confusing adolescent feelings/vexations can be alleviated if they “become who they truly are” via mutilating their bodies beyond recognition and pick out a new, fun name to match their fresh start as their new identity. It might be good for level-headed adults to stand up for the children that are being sacrificed in the name of progressive tolerance to the whims of delusional, propagandized ideologues who can shut down arguments by simply using the dreaded “B” word mic-drop, bigot. One cannot question, take issue with, criticize, or discourage a child’s desire to make this leap lest they want to lose their license/job (in the case of doctors/psychologists/teachers) or even the child themselves, in the case of a concerned parent. The time for sitting back and pussyfooting around is over. To sit back and allow this to happen is akin to compliance. If we don’t allow an impressionable young person’s decision making skills to get a driver’s license (if they’re under 16), to join the military, to buy/use cigarettes/alcohol, or even to bloody vote, then why the hell would we think they know what they’re doing if they want to remove their sexual organs for life to reshape them into a faux version of the opposite sex’s? You bet your ass this deserves all the anger JBP and the rest of the sane adults in the room can muster. One day we will have thousands of destroyed young adults who were once those children to answer to.
This is because of the severity of the issue: "children, young adult are being misled to mutilate themselves". If that doesn't cause you to burn as a parent, I don't know what will.
He has been really angry lately in all the clips I've seen.
Maybe it's getting sober, it can bring out the inner asshole in people
This discussion is incomplete without discussions of predatory profit motives of pharmaceuticals, surgeons, and psychologists.
Yeah isn't that Kyle's entire schtick? Predatory profit off of vulnerable people?
JBP brought it up, Kyle dismissed it because cognitive dissonance is too painful.
True, but currently we don't care to much about that. Because that would hurt big pharma.
Yeah but it’s an elective procedure. Hair plugs (which JP is clearly familiar with) is a smaller health car market at around 10 billion a year, meanwhile trans surgery is a drop in the bucket at 350 million.
That is such a weak anti medical science argument. There are no ads running to push people to transition. The discussion is truly incomplete without recognizing the rights and bodily autonomy of trans patients.

I agree with Jordan on most of this. But it’s not criminal for adults to make a decision and doctors to oblige. We can argue about the larger effects of individual actions. But it’s not criminal in any sense.
If you ask a doctor to cut your leg off because you feel like a one-legged person, you will be refused by any ethical medical professional.
You will also rightly be referred for serious psychiatric intervention.
But if you want your genitals removed, doctors will flock to you and complete the surgery before you even know what has happened.
Reasonable people don't care if it's legal. They CORRECTLY see it as a crime.
I think at the heart of what Mr. Peterson is saying is that we are being painted this “all is hunky dory” picture of those who transition when in reality, even if for arguments sake that’s what would theoretically be best for them, the real world physical results are very blunt and complicated. The activism surrounding this paints the picture of these transitioned folks finally being able to live as their “true selves” but in 99% of instances that newfound true self has a myriad of health issues and physical complications to deal with. I think he’s harping on the reality that we don’t live in a futuristic Star Trek world where you can just switch your gender, back and forth, consequence free from Chris Hemsworth to Cindy Crawford. Thus his long pause on the question of banning it. I’m sure he knows how totalitarian it could be construed to be hung up on that but he’s well versed enough on the subject to recognize the immense issues of it being allowed to begin with.
Physically altering your body to try and appear as something you’re not (biologically) and signing up for a lifetime of hormonal treatments that are only there to supply you with something you were never gonna have to begin with is not just a decision, it’s a crossroads that can’t be undone. That’s a hell of a Pandora’s box to open up at any age.
no one is 'hunky dory' because we are all trapped in rotting corpses. Why do you care how someone chooses to spend their time in their own meat robot?
He's not saying here or anywhere that the results are "blunt and complicated." If anything, he's saying that they are clearly bad. If we want to fault "the left" for doing the uncomplicated 'It's all hunky dorey" thing, I think it is fair to fault Peterson for doing an equally uncomplicated "It's all gloomy and wrong" thing.
And they have the choice is exercise that choice. That's about it. Go along with it and wish them the best. Or sit around stewing about it all day like Jordan as though he can pontificate some string of sentences that'll solve anything.
I imagine that 99% of the facts you state are as accurate as your claim that 99% of trans people suffer after they transition.
If it’s between a lifetime of gender dysphoria, crippling self-esteem problems, and suicidal ideation and taking hormone pills once a day/week, most trans people would choose the latter. People don’t really empathize with trans people partly because it’s a strange and alien experience to them. I would love if transphobes and similar people to that would take the time to listen to the real life experiences of trans people.
I grew up with girls who wanted to be boys until they didn't. What is happening is scary as a parent.
Just because some people may change their mind doesn't mean that others don't have a deeply ingrained sense of their own gender.
I can understand why you might be concerned as a parent, but I believe it's important to approach these issues with an open mind and a willingness to listen to others' experiences, rather than dismissing them based on our own personal beliefs or fears.
It’s only scary if you believe the lie that there’s a huge trend of kids undergoing gender affirmation surgery. You should watch the video of Matt Walsh on Rogan being asked to give an estimation of how many trans kids in the US are taking hormone blockers and he says "millions" . Then Jamie pulls up the data and it’s actually a couple of thousands. This right here incapsulates perfectly how disconnected from reality and how hysterical conservatives are on this issue. If there’s only a couple of thousands of kids on hormone blockers, the number of minors undergoing affirmation surgery must be in the 10’s if there’s any. This is one of the main issues on the platform of the second most powerful party in the world. Quite concerning. Noticeably what’s not on their platform is reducing the high infant morality rate in red states or school shootings. They definitely have a good sense of priorities these people

@@harmondraws and how exactly is that a problem? all of you far right blokes always seem to be obsessed with children and its REALLY creeping me out
Every kid my 14 year old has been friends with since 2nd grade identify as transgender or nonbinary. They're all trying to change their names. There was a child at their school who went from being a boy to a girl for a year & left the school. The following year someone ran into them at the market & he was back to being a boy. This child had seen his father sexually abuse his sister & maybe this was a temporary coping tool.
The school had to explain gender identity to the kids because this child was now going to be using the girls bathroom, staying with the girls during health class & bunking with them during a week long camping trip. I was supportive at the time, but now looking back I think we caused them a lot of confusion. There were other parents who were standard Democratic liberals and they were not really comfortable with a lot of the choices the school made, but they all said they didn't want to be accused of being transphobic.
Last week I pulled up a study about the social contagion aspect after hearing this clip on Kyle's channel & found out that in 2018 there was a study on this which received a lot of backlash from trans activists & caused the university to not do a press announcement. Apparently, many professors signed a letter pushing back on the university for not backing the researchers & standing for academic freedom. We can't have a serious policy discussion without the facts & we can't get the facts if researchers are intimidated by activists & universities don't grow a backbone. Didn't anyone learn their lesson after so many scientists stayed quiet on the lab leak theory with COVID?
I also think the trans community has shifted the goal posts a lot over the past 10 years, leaving many of us confused. I was under the impression that we were being asked to use preferred pronouns out of respect, which I have no problem with, and that adults just wanted to have the right to make their own medical decisions which I also have no issue with. However, now it seems like there's a demand that we actually believe these people are the exact same sex as the gender they identify as. I didn't sign up for that.
Moreover, I like being referred to as a "birthing person" about as much as I like being called "Latin X" or being compared to a breakfast taco. Kim Iverson debated that new girl on Rising just the other day & it was a real moment of clarity about why the left will never be a threat to anyone. The most fringe people on the left are loud & anyone who isn't on board with 100% of everything related to LGBTQ+ issues is considered a "right winger." By that logic, 95% of the country is conservative.
My stepdaughter is dealing with currently. Social Contagion is spot on.
Being trans is trendy for kids. They might not be getting much attention so they claim to be trans to receive praise.
You people are so pathetic. That is 100% a lie and you don’t get to say otherwise maybe don’t bring up ridiculous stories that are so obviously false we see this with you right wingers all of the time.
🙌🏼✌🏼
I agree with everything you said. I live in southern California and the amount of gen z I see identifying as trans is staggering. I also agree that most of this is academic and corporate cowardice. They are allowing this exceedingly small group of fringe extremists to essentially call the shots because they don't have the backbone to stand by their ethical, religious, and most importantly academic convictions. Sometimes the best thing to do for a person is to scold them and tell them they are wrong, that their behavior is out of place. If you let that bad behavior/belief continue, it becomes seen as more acceptable and spreads.

When trans identification has been approximately doubling every 5 years for the last few decades, combined with the fact that the vast majority of this exponential increase has been down to teenagers in the last decade, it is simply UNDENIABLE that we are looking at a social contagion.
did you know that more people started being left handed once we stopped stigmatizing being left handed, it seems pretty obvious that now when we are more accepting towards trans people that obviously more people will be openly trans, the same thing has happened with atheism, where once atheists were excommunicated or forced to hide their atheism when the persecution of atheism stopped more people started identifying as atheist. It's obvious if we persecute a specific identity and a person is capable of hiding said identity they will for the most part do so until the threat is lessened, now we are starting to re-evaluate the persecution of transgenderism it is obvious that more people will identify as transgender.
what a dumb statement ofc as something becomes more accepted more people identify that way the same thing happened with people who wrote with there left hands all the way to the gay movement around 2015 anytime something becomes more accepted in society there are obviously gonna be more people who go that way … just a shitty argument
You’re being dishonest or you’re just ignorant of the facts but the study you’re referring to about the trans population doubling every 5 years is very misleading without the proper context the follow up study was done with a new modeling strategy that made their sample size bigger than previously as well as them adding a question if they were transgender unlike the previous study that only came to the estimation by determining if they were transgender based off question patterns instead so it’s not necessarily as big of a trend in population as you may think but it is undeniable that it’s increasing just not to the extent you believe which makes perfect sense knowing how left handiness being socially acceptable made it so more left handed people existed the same case is for trans people so no it’s not a social contagion that’s nonsensical
@Liam1536 You're the ones being dishonest with yourselves. It's nonsensical to deny that it's social contagion, and I'll explain why.
1. The exponential trend of LGBT identifying youth is directly correlated to how much access they have to social media.
2. You can compare the exponentially growing rate of trans against the proportional decline of homosexuals. Studies have shown that about 80% cases of gender dysphoria are just misdiagnosed homosexuality, and that well over 90% of cases actually resolve themselves and go away if treated properly with therapy instead of castration pills and mutilation. But therapy isn't allowed in some countries anymore where laws have been put in place to prevent therapists and psychologists from looking for any other resolution other than putting them on the LGBT conveyor belt. It's now considered "conversation therapy" to help someone accept themselves and be happy with who they are while it's called "affirmation care" to chemically prevent healthy puberty, prescribe cross-sex hormones and mutilate genitals to make them crudely resemble other genitals.
3. Go anywhere outside the Western world and see how much of it believes in this gender nonsense. If you go to a tribe in Africa they wouldn't even understand the concept.
4. It's distinctly generational. The identification rate of each generation is exponentially higher than the one before that. In fact the earliest recorded case of someone identifying as the opposite sex was in the 1910's who robbed a bank I believe and she wanted to be in prison with the men because that's who she felt like. Any other examples you might think of in history (like two-spirit etc) are modern appropriations of historical tradition which actually had nothing to do with someone of one sex believing themselves to be the other.
5. It's localised mostly to certain regions in the Western world. The rate of LGBT identification is densely grouped in certain places while extremely sparse in others, even within countries that accept it.
6. Despite being supposedly an oppressed group, people are now clambering to identify with one of its many facets, even making up new categories to do so, and this happens mostly when those people are already surrounded by that very group. On a side note, when before in history have people exponentially clambered to identify with a supposedly oppressed group?
7. Ever notice how the celebrities whose children end up identifying with this group all happen to be partially woke? You can even observe many of them determining that their kids will be LGBT long before it happens, and sometimes before they're even born. For instance, Megan Fox decided her kid was trans because she could "feel the energy" while she was still pregnant, and what a surprise!!! Her son likes to wear dresses (which she must have already bought for him first). These celebrities are a public representation of what's happening in the general population too.
8. The entirety of gender ideology was made up by a number of figures in 20th century Western world, and we know who they are. They were almost all "sexologists", and curiously enough they ALL were proud pedophilia apologists. Outside of that, you won't find this gender nonsense anywhere else in the world or in history.
The main figures were John Money who coined "gender" for humans, which until then the word was a purely linguistic term. He was first to summise there's a gendered aspect of humans distinct from sex, and that it's socially constructed and therefore could be socially conditioned.
You can look up his work in detail but in summary his experiments lead to the suicides of his subjects (who he sexually abused in childhood) and his own work proved his own theory wrong. That same theory you insist is legitimate while his work is still used to supposedly affirm gender ideology today.
Then there's Alfred Kinsey, a sexual deviant to got into "sexology" in order to destigmatize his sexual fetishes. He enjoyed things like strangling his testicles whole shoving pencils up his urethra (real example). He insisted that most people were like him but were just repressed, he made up his own figures out of whole cloth about things like how how 90% of farmers rape their own animals and how over half the population was gay etc.
Out of his two most influential works, the first was found to be fraudulent when it was found sexual data he claimed was from the general population was actually from sex offenders in prison. He did this to skew sexual deviance data to normalize his own.
His second work includes a table ("Table 34") recording the orgasm times of children as young as 5 months. He got this data by collaborating with active pedophiles and having them pass their findings on to him, yet he never reported a single one to the authorities. Those two fraudulent and pedophilic works are also cornerstones of a huge portion of the work on gender ideology has been built on too.
Then there's Volkmar Sigusch, who coined the term "cis" in the 90's. He insisted there was no such thing as immoral sex between anyone and anything, he said that pedophiles shouldn't be punished, that child sexual abuse "benefits the victim" and he also blamed sexual assault on feminists because they were against pedophilia and he claimed that not being able to sexually abuse children made people sexually abuse each other.
These are the patron saints of the ideology you're defending. They're the big three but you'll find similar stories and similar defence of pedophilia from any of the others you might look up.
There's also the fact that the idea of a woman being in a man's body or vice versa, just makes no sense and can be nothing more than a superstitious and spiritual claim rather than anything based on real science.
What part of a man is actually a woman? The brain? Well the brain is part of the body so by definition that brain inside the man's body is by definition a man's brain, as are the synaptic signals it creates. Can a man have a woman's arm. Can a woman have a man's leg?
Every study used to support gender ideology and how it benefits people all have invalid methodology, often in multiple ways. They tend to be funded by institutions and carried out by researchers who even admit the conclusion they want the study to come to ahead of time, which is not how science can be truthfully done. The ones claiming that people are happier after transition use incredibly small sample sizes which are cherry picked even smaller after they transition to get the results they prefer, and none of them have ever followed on more than 3 months after transition when the patients are still under the drug-like euphoria of cross-sex hormones and haven't had any significant time to really assess how their lives have been permanently changed.
The only study ever done with a large sample and over many years was in Scandanavia, and that study found (against the researchers intentions) that it has no long-term benefit when it comes to levels of happiness, and it even suggested it might be detrimental to mental health, as it also found that the highest rate of suicide in the trans"community" is at 7-13 years post-op. They kill themselves the most, AFTER surgery.
Now that's out of the way, I just have two questions for you that I'd like you to attempt to answer coherently:
1. What is a woman?
2. What is the precise distinction between gender and personality?
Not sure if my comment will last long before it's removed for heresy against the alphabet cult, but see if you can answer those intelligibly and without psychobabble before that happens.
While I'm more on Peterson's side of the argument i think you did a great job interviewing him. I do feel Peterson has developed a tendency to get a bit angry and frustrated when he gets interviewed by people who aren't exactly aligned with his ideas. Sadly I feel this is something that has developed along the years since he's become more famous and he's had to deal with quite a lot of journalists and interviewers who were just outright hostile to his persona. I remember in his earlier interviews he'd be much more relaxed and open. Nowadays he can seem a lot more weary of interviewers, especially if he hasn't had prior experience with them. Although sometimes his anger can also be confused with being targeted at the interviewer, while in fact it is genuine anger and frustration about the subject.
The very way that a question is framed can speak to a prevailing bias. While the host claims that he has not formed a firm opinion, the framing of his questions either speak to a profound level of ignorance or bias.
I’ve noticed this too. It seems to be a thing that’s risen out of his fairly recent health crisis with the benzos, mixed with political/societal craziness
@@Kimmyqween 6 years of communist mobbing and the communist takeover of his country will do that to a person.
Exactly. You can tell JP has run out of patience. It’s a shame tho because Kyle is arguably a good faith actor. So Kyle is sort of dealing with JP’s pent up anger from dealing with bad actors.
It's the anger for the issue not him. He has just seen enough of stupidity in basic reasoning that he is not believing what humans are capable of doing. Listen to his argument and you will understand why he is angry. Kyle might not be aggressive but his reading and framing are 'ideological'. This is why Jordan is angry cuz Kyle is claiming to be neutral but anyone can tell he has a side.
This was great ! I love Jordan, I assume i disagree with Kyle a lot, but his ability to stay calm when Jordan was somewhat aggressive is awesome ! That is what is necessary to have important conversations.
Well done Sir!
Yeah, I enjoy hearing JP talk about existential ideas, but he's simply not a very good debater when he loses his cool, which is unfortunately increasingly frequent. And yes, I know there are loads of people who say "wouldn't you be losing your cool too with how much people come after him?", but that doesn't mean it's good that he's losing his cool even if I were to do the same thing in his shoes (I don't know whether or not I would).
Didn't find him to be aggressive at all. If you watch his podcast he talks like that too. It's more about being anal about using the proper words so there is no room for wiggling about and playing games in debate.
@@MrDNMock i think he was super aggressive. spent half the video getting angry about something that kyle didnt even ask about. super unprofessionel, bravo to kyle to staying calm and letting him vent for a while.
@@Bahramiish Eh, maybe you are right. Maybe it's just that I'm biased againt Kyle after seeing how big of a shill he is after "Force the Vote".
@@MrDNMock you know i may be wrong. but the second part of the video is actually okayish. the first half doesnt make any sense imo
Interesting discussion. Would love to see more of this.
Maybe just do brain surgery, that is why the problem is.
2nd.
Go to Krystal Kyle and Friends on Substack for the whole interview. It's good and about an hour and 20 minutes. There's probably a link in the description of this video.
This was not a discussion lmao. This was a one sided vitriolic rant with a couple polite questions in between
@@vanessacarly5140 JP was definitely pearl clutching at one point and kept referring to Kyle as "you people" until Kyle had to tell him he didn't even hold those beliefs, lol.
Still, this is sadly about as good as it gets in politics nowadays.
10:46 it would be incredibly arrogant of you to say. It is not, however, arrogant for medical professionals to say it. If someone says, "It feels like I have too many arms." The onus is upon the medical community to say, "Chopping one of your arms off is not the appropriate way to deal with this."
I stand with Jordan !!! He’s a bright light in this current dark dark world … KEEP SHINING 🎉
Cum on, there are plenty of bigots full of hatred for you to befriend.
Don't just trust one person because it fits your believes....
He is wrong here though. Kyle had a point that actually would support Peterson if he was paying attention-this is a morality issue
Kyle, though I haven’t always been the biggest fan, did a great job here. Wonderful interviewing skills/ technique. However.. the notion that there is no element of social contagion regarding transgenderism in adolescents is just silly though.. we have the statistics.. any sane person paying attention should concede this. Two things can be true at once. Some people can legitimately have the pronounced sensation of “being the other sex” that is best treated with transition AND there is an enormous spike in the amount of adolescents (particularly females) claiming to be transgender. Undoubtedly there are rampant misdiagnoses here that will be tragic. Guidelines forcing psychologists to affirm immediately and without question will be taught to future genderations as the catastrophic blunder that it is.
i wonder if anorexia stats are down these past couple years. my daughters are living through this shit storm. pressures are heavy from all sides. half the kids from the alt high school are identifying as some kind of forest creature or LGTQ+. something is amiss here. bottom line, kids in general ain't happy these days.
Wtf is "social contagion"?
" Undoubtedly there are rampant misdiagnoses here that will be tragic."
Why? Based on what? Even if this was true, how does Jordan Peterson hating trans people being in magazines solve this problem?
What do you mean "affirming immediately without question"? What would the questions be? The only way to know if someone is trans is to ask them, the only person that knows your gender identity is yourself.
@@danielshepard1449 well there is a 4400% increase in the number of girls seeking treatment at gender clinics in the uk. 4400! The us has seen similar sharp rises though the centralized nature of the uk system makes it easier to compare. And we don’t see anything like this in other demographics of women- as we would expect if this were an organic, real presentation. These teenage girls also tend to very disproportionately be autistic. This population is where we see other social contagions break out such as eating disorders and cutting. And do you really not know what a social contagion is?The rate of transgenderism is increased significantly within friend groups as well. More so than would be expected simply from similar girls seeking each other out.
And I don’t think I said anything about this being solved by Peterson so no idea what you’re talking about there.
And as far as the immediate affirmation- the guidelines for psychologists/psychiatrists is to affirm whatever gender the child claims to have. Most people who understand the job will tell you that it is certainly not the role of any competent mental health worker to mindlessly affirm the self diagnosis of anyone, much less children. Reports from the mass exodus of employees at the Tavistock clinic (the uks one child gender clinic in the nhs) reported that children are too easily put on a track to transitioning- without the proper work and full understating of other factors that may play into the childrens’ self diagnoses. Just affirmation. We know from multiple studies that if children presenting with gender dysphoria are treated without transition, more than 80% will adjust and be satisfied with their body by adolescence. Most will be gay. If children are started on a transition- whether just socially or with hormone blockers- nearly 100% of them will continue on with transition. The thinking being it’s too difficult to go back when you’ve begun such a monumental process. So a life of constant medication, invasive surgery and questionable mental health outcomes await. It’s a cascading effect of medical intervention. Now granted these initial studies about the number of people ultimately comfortable in their bodies were done in boys. As girls presenting as transgender simply used to be a very rare occurrence. Now they are the OVERWHELMING majority at pediatric gender clinics. As it is there is almost CERTAINLY a large number of misdiagnoses being made. The numbers simply don’t add up.
And how DOES one know their gender identity? Like how do you know what you are? May I ask what you identify as?
Do you people think children just stroll down to the local surgeon and have their body parts snipped off?
@Johnny Rotten sure I don’t agree with Jordan Peterson here (frankly I’m not sure he was even making coherent points here). I just don’t think it’s wise to gaslight about what we know is true. I thought Kyle did a great job overall it just irked me that he pretended there wasn’t very much a trend element to these identities for young people. That’s all.
I like the fact the fact JP is always willing to say I don’t know when he doesn’t know
JP is off his rocker.
😭😭😭
Tough conversation but definitely needed. Thanks Kyle
I deeply respect Jordans courage
Nothing is heaver than the weight of lives very existence.
And to add to his point, my nephew who identified as trans all through his teen years did in fact just become a gay man. When asked why he couldn’t differentiate his reply was, the groups I was talking with online had me convinced I liked other boys because I was actually trans and needed to be a woman. As he matured he decided he is 100% male and 100% likes males. You would think this is anti-gay in its motives.
I love how right wingers only argument is "trust me, I know a guy and he confirms everything I say about trans people!" you can make up any story you want on youtube. And even if the story is true it doesn't mean it represents the bigger picture.
@@danielshepard1449 nice strawman
There's nothing wrong with exploring your identity when you're a kid. Contrary to what Dr. Peterson states, doctors don't do any kind of gender transition surgery on minors. The most they do is hormone therapy, which is reversible and has well-known possible side effects (bone growth and fertility issues).
@@danielshepard1449 Ok so you agree that anecdotes are useless for the most part? Then why should we take the anecdotes that trans people are happy after transitioning as absolute gospel, while the suicide attempt rate has stayed the same if not higher?
You're right, there is a bigger picture here, the problem is that no one actually knows what it is. Affirming and shutting down any dissenting opinions won't get us any closer. In my opinion, transitioning doesn't seem to be an absolute solution. It seems like a bandage. But hey, I'm probably transphobic for caring about trans people attempting to end their life.
@@danielshepard1449 It's not that every conservative knows a guy, it's that the majority of youths who feel trans turn out to be gay and grow out of their "trans phase." This is well documented from a psych perspective if you put 5 minutes into Googling it.
Normally it wouldn't matter if they're truly gay or truly trans, but when you're talking putting the kid on hormone blockers during key pubescent years you risk permanent damage. Hormones have a large impact on development during those key years, and fucking with them can definitely have permanent consequences. The discussion when it comes to kids is if we should be letting kids make ever-lasting decisions about their bodies when they're 14, 15, 16 years old.
Why is Jordan Peterson wasting his time with this guy?
I love how Jordan isn’t talking about this like it’s acceptable. He is just being honest and true to what the actual issue is instead of looking at this through rose colored glasses
He's looking at it through the lens of someone who is totally ignorant of how people work and feel. No one just chooses whether they feel like they are male or female, just like no one chooses to like the same or opposite sex. These are choices made for you at an unconscious, physical level. The fact that that Jordan Peterson does not grasp this simple concept speaks volumes about his failure as both a psychologist and a rational and understanding human being.
I know, most people respect courage when they see it.
@@jasonx7501 how do you figure he's a failure? Looking at his following and how successful he has been over the past years, I'd imagine there is a lot of people that think differently than you.
How much thought have you put into trying to understand that maybe he's right?
@@jasonx7501 It’s ignorant to think children should undergo life altering surgery when they can’t make their own decisions let alone lead a life of their own at such an uncertain stage in their life. If I lived my life based on all of the fickle thoughts and feelings I had as a child I’d be considered delusional now. If it’s not ever a conscious decision then why do a certain percentage of people live to regret it years later? You just think all trans people are on the same wavelength like robots as if they are either trans or they aren’t. They have their individual thoughts and it’s very complex. So complex in fact that it’s almost as if people often don’t know what they want in life even if they think they do. Any honest psychologist understands that fact about human beings. I’m not just talking about trans people.
I mean everyone experiences confusion about what they want to do with their life whether they feel unconsciously predisposed toward a certain direction or they consciously decide. And in most cases people make bad decisions.. whether it’s a conscious thing or an unconscious feeling that motivates you. People experience unconscious feelings all the time beyond sexuality and gender. Does that make it written in stone? Absolutely not because I’ve seen people go from one side of a spectrum to another based on regret. You obviously don’t understand how humans think. Humans aren’t defined by labels. It’s vastly complex. However there are biological truths like males and females. Being trans is not that. It is indeed both an unconscious feeling and a conscious choice depending on the person. I have unconscious feelings we call anxiety. I can’t always control it. Does that make it the natural way of things for me? Am I forever bound to a certain feeling just because it might be unconsciously engrained into me. No anyone can adapt to whatever they want to adapt to. We are not bound to our personal fleeting thoughts like it’s some kind of programming. We are bound to truths.
@@blairmaffin3287 Oh I have put enough thought into this man to see he speaks out of the mouth of his social edicts and religious hang ups. How does a clinical psychologist not understand that gender dysphoria is a rare yet real thing, and conflates it to being a fad? Wouldn't a clinical psychologist know that people who do experience gender dysphoria have as little control over their feelings as a gay person would about being attracted to same sex or a straight person being attracted to the opposite sex? Yet he approaches this easy to grasp concept like some kind of right-wing reactionary lune. Most people do not think differently than me about this, most people are grown up and understanding enough to approach this with a live-and-let-live attitude and not get sucked into a moral panic. You didn't think at all that Jordan Peterson is just looking at this as some irrational reactionary? Society is growing up, and it's leaving people who think like Peterson in the dust bin of history.
It is an absolute fact that this whole thing is with predominately teen girls, and it didn’t exist 10 years ago. Common this is a horrible fad that damages young females disproportionately.
Your comment perfectly illustrates the Dunning/Kruger effect as you seem overconfident and incapable of adequately assessing your own level of incompetence. As an education, spend a day perusing shemale porn and then try claiming this whole thing is with predominately teen girls. In fairness, you haven’t given the assessment of your own level of incompetence that would merit my opening claim. So, would you care to do so in a reply, or defend your initial truth claim that the trans issue and it’s externalities are matters of absolute fact?
Exactly that’s the one thing I notice now young women dating other women more then young guys dating other guys, I do really think that women are doing this more because they are confused and they want to fit into a “community” more than because they actually want to do that
