    Invite a trans person and listen to them. That's respect.
    What you are doing is the opposite of loving and caring. Two het cis men talking about "these poor creatures" as if they aren't even human beings.
    This self rightousness among christianity makes me so angry. Why can't you all just respect us and treat us like actual human beings. You can make as many sweet words as you want, your hate towards us is visible.
    It hurts so much.

    I appreciate this video and think the answers given are a great starting point for a discussion with a loved one who is identifying as trans right now. A very dear friend confided this in me recently and I wasn’t sure if RUclips would actually have anything useful to say on the topic.
    I wanted to ask though why is it just an acceptable assumption that Mormon missionaries wouldn’t genuinely care about you if they were at your door? I’m not suggesting all of those missionaries are great people who genuinely are looking to share additional information they believe to be true about Jesus Christ, but I certainly believe many of those missionaries are genuine. I’ve met many of them.

    I haven’t listened to the whole conversation but more than half of it. I think that the tone of this conversation is too conciliatory. Sometimes human beings benefit very well from boundaries. Hard and fast boundaries are necessary at times. That’s what God‘s laws are for are they not? I find Those with gender dysphoria or the need to run with the current fad offensive to me when I am asked to accommodate them with special pronouns or not to refer to them by their biological gender. My intention is not to be hateful but to clearly stand for my own self respect by not accommodating these requests. I have no problem with stating that either. In my opinion we need to make a stand and make this nonsense stop. There’s something much different than real gender dysphoria going on here when you have suddenly thousands upon thousands of people who no longer know their own biology. It’s nothing more than a trend and a fad for the majority of those participating in it.

      Amen. I agree 100%. The time for weakness is over. We're WAY past the "we just want equal rights so we can live in peace" with the Political Gay agenda. They're openly targeting children and they have the government, Corporations, Mass media, and Hollywood on their side. They will NOT stop until they get the 'P for pedophilia added to their LGBTQ.
      In the NHL ONE man stood up and said No to participating in Sodomy Pride night. A week later the whole NY Rangers team and the whole Carolina Hurricanes team refused to wear the anal sex pride jersey. We shouldn't be afraid to stand up because the demons are going to spiral and throw a temper tantrum.

      I think when it's a reaction to trauma, this guy's approach is best. It's a very vulnerable thing to be trying to heal from that and rejection is not going to be healing or helpful.
      If it's your teenager who isn't a trauma survivor...some boundaries are probably in order, yeah. But even then, how you apply them is going to depend a lot on the kid.

    @nategraham6946 Год назад

    Is it truly the assumption that is someone is gay, or any of the other letters, that there must have been child abuse? Do you ever talk to people who weren't abused as a kid and still gay, or other? Or bring up the discussion without that as a previous factor so you have something else to talk about instead and change the subject?

    • @helench6097

      Sexuality is not a disassociation with your own body and does not lead to medically damaging your own body. What a ridiculous analogy. Gender dysphoria is more often than not linked to something in one's.past and like anorexia and self harming is usually an expression from a mental health condition. Sexual assault can cause disassociation, internalised homophobia due to homophobic family or friends growing up, trauma response to your sexed body during puberty, or suddenly experiencing sexual attention, disassociation experienced by autism and then there are the fetishists.

    It's important to note he never addresses pronouns. Generally trans people aren't going to feel respected or "see their light shined back at them" when you don't see them or address them in basic ways they would like to be seen or addressed by. So I mean if Catholics are listening to trans people, trying to realize trans people are people and not arguments to be afraid of, using their prefered pronouns, who cares. But that isn't happening.
    If your answer to "how do you talk to a person in X large group of people" isn't pretty much "treat them with the same degree of respect you'd treat anyone", something has gone wrong. The fact that the speaker has to remind the audience that trans people aren't your enemy is CRAZY and reflects antagonistic attitudes, some of which are shown in the comments.

      I care, because I don't want to deny what is true according to the order of creation and the natural law. I would simply avoid using pronouns in my speech when referring to them. Trans people aren't our enemies, but transgenderism is.

      @@Mish844 That's a strawman argument. I did not mention any sacred book. It seems you don't know what Natural Law Theory is.

Therefore, none of your objections hold.

      "Natural Law Theory is an ancient philosophy that anyone can believe, regardless of religion"
      I also know that:
      a) catholics subscribe not to ancient natural law, but Aquinas' natural law, which is elaborate way of hiding that it's about the Bible.
      b) nothing in the ancient natural law dictates that those people are acting against it, so ofc pretending that trans doing their thing is against natural law is a straight out lie...
      ...Unless you mean Saint Aquinas' one, which means acting against Bible, which allegedly is a strawman. So pick your poison: either they aren't acting against natural law or you meant the one that is essentially dictate of a sacred book.
      "The order of creation is evident in biology"
      It's the same issue - if you mean the one that predates the Church, then nothing in trans goes against that order. Same as with natural law, that accusation only works if you mean catholic order, which you say would be a strawman.

      ​@@Mish844 I'm glad you agree that anyone can believe in Natural Law Theory. While Catholics are not bound to Aquinas' view on natural law, he is getting it from the Stoics and continuing that tradition. It doesn't strictly have to be about the Bible and if you read Aquinas you will see that he argues more than just what is in the Bible.
      The Ancient Roman Stoics would certainly not be okay with the trans movement as it clearly goes against “Living in accordance with nature” which includes the nature of the Universe and Human nature. This is fundamental to Natural Law Theory and clearly contrary to the trans movement as they are acting against their sex, which can never be changed.
      We know from biology sex is determined at conception; nobody can change this. Do you really think an Ancient Roman man would believe that someone can change their gender? Of course not.
      Your initial argument is still a strawman, because I didn't mention any sacred book. Bye bye!

    Sad that you don't interview a professional like which this doctor refers ('I'm not an expert in gender dysphoria' . . . ). I've twice read the presumed basis of gender incongruence yet I've never heard anyone speak on the biologics of this issue. Not from those who think it's a figment of a person's imagination nor those who accept it, with no objective examination. If a society is patient with your ideas of 'God' why shouldn't you be patient with a person's ideas of themselves, until science can dis/prove either/both? Also, host: Consistently interviewing those who agree with you doesn't lend itself to as much growth through critical thinking.

      Because science already said males are men and females are women. Proof is in the pants. And then people with gender dysphoria ignored it anyway, mutilated themselves, and expect everyone else to just play along. 2 + 2 does not equal 5 just because a chemical imbalance in your brain needs it to. Why do you need an expert on this? This doesn’t need a expert to explain it. No one needs to be an expert to count to 10.

      Here's some biologics for you. Women in California and New Jersey prisons are being housed with transwomen and are involuntarily bearing their children. That's happening now. Women in Washington state and California are having people who present as men but claim to be transwomen show up at SA support groups just to listen in. Children are going on puberty blockers and synthetic hormones with only one session of "counseling" at a Planned Parenthood and ending up with permanent bone deficiencies, higher chances of cancer, and sterility (both are proven and known side effects of those drugs). And don't even get me started on what's going on right now in Scotland.
      You appeal to science. I think the more scientifically responsible thing (on a medical, societal, and psychological level) would be to apply the breaks. Look up detrans stories here on RUclips. A lot of people are getting misdiagnosed and seriously hurt, and that's not even getting into the men faking it for access to women in vulnerable situations (again, not an exaggeration or slippery slope if it's ALREADY HAPPENING, which it is).
