No eighteen year old woman can walk into a doctor's office and demand to have her tubes tied, unless she has serious medical problems that makes pregnancy hazardous to her health. For a woman who has never had children, it can be difficult to get a tubal ligation at any age. Yet children are allowed to make decisions that can affect their fertility in the name of 'trans.'
Exactly!! A friend of mine has five children and they wouldn’t give him a vasectomy. He had to beg. “Please help meeeee!” Absurd, 5 children!!! Finally they did it.
@@abluecanoe I was able to get a tubal ligation in my mid thirties as a single woman with no children only because I had health problems that would prevent me from being able to carry a pregnancy to term. Both the pill and diaphragm gave me chronic infections that were difficult to control. The IUD was not an option since I had endometriosis and my partner would not use a condom. I wonder how many women are like me, struggling with contraception, but unlike me cannot get a tubal ligation because they are healthy enough to go through a pregnancy.

So just downloaded and deleted the book. First few chapters a load of gobblygook( in other words garbage). First you are not assigned sex/gender at birth. Your sex is decided at conception. I knew I was having my son when I was 3 months pregnant. My eldest daughter has a genetic syndrome, which happened at conception so things go wrong but we never had anything like this when I was going to school. We were just teen-agers. I think so much of what goes in is because of social media
@@judyboast4020 Very true!

I find Oliver to be smarmy and unfunny in general- his reception in the States truly proves that some Americans really are overly impressed by just a British accent. But on the issue of sports- which I assume he has never played- he is dangerously uninformed and pushing something that could be really dangerous for young women playing against men. It's twee nonsense hiding something that could get people injured.
Whenever they describe their opponents as 'having lost their minds' (read: caring about the truth) or use the phrase 'trans kids' uncritically, I immediately know that nothing they say will be of any value at all.
The wrestler disqualified herself by taking testosterone. She can longer play other women, and she has no business playing men because boys & men deserve to have same sex opponents that they feel free to engage with as their physical & social peers - just as women deserve that right too. These kids and young people need to know that the consequences of doing this to yourself has significant ripple effects that they may not have thought about and that everyone else who inhabits the planet doesn't have to go along with a lie or affirm various trans-fantasies. If schools have decided to teach or instruct the trans-delusion, then they need to facilitate a separate league for 'trans' students.
Yep. In contact sports with men, it's unfair to make a man fight a woman. There's always a question of whether the guy fought back as hard as he could and wasn't holding punches. Most, an overwhelming majority of men, don't go full force against women. The only dudes you see not holding back are the ones trying to infiltrate women's sport and prouder than anyone to utilise that male advantage.
It is so refreshing to hear someone say how I feel. No one should be allowed to make an irreversible decision to sterilize themselves before 25yrs old. I had a ton of issues and trauma with being a woman. It took a lot of therapy (different kinds) and not until 32 did I start thinking clearly. I realize I did want to be a mother. Because of the things that happened to me, my mental maturity was massively delayed. This whole thing is ludicrous, diabolical and pure evil (I’m not even religious) this feels like a form of eugenics.
Having a cold is a "medically recognized" condition, which we can treat the symtoms of with ephedrine type medicines, but because those medications do confer an advantage, you will be disqualified if you use them when competing.
I hate that acknowledging biological sex is a divisive issue. If body dysmorphia is seen as a mental problem, why wouldn't gender dysphoria? Eating disorders being on the rise isn't because there is "more visibility", it is because it is a social contagion.
The children transitioning thing will always be a topic of contention when these people say that the effects of puberty blockers are irreversible. Lupron, an ingredient used in blockers that is used to chemically castrate men and intensely fight against prostate cancer, I mean the writing is on the wall of why you shouldn't be giving this stuff to children. It's not just the fertility but also the disruption of the child's skeletal development and developing as well as brain development. It's so foolish and dangerous to sit there and not actually think about these things and how it will carry over into adult life with all the other things you mentioned (heart problems, liver problems, etc). All in all I'm not really familiar with John Oliver but he comes off as another nonce who really doesn't know what the hell he is talking about and should seriously actually look into this topic outside of the TRA group and engage with some true critical thinking.
There should be a red flag anytime someone says a drug is harmless, in the way Oliver has said puberty blockers are harmless. ALL drugs have side effects. Touting a drug as harmless is what caused the thalidomide tragedy.
@@oregonvibez I took Synarel (a GNRH agonist that is in the same class of drugs as Lupron and is also used as a puberty blocker) for six months as an adult for endometriosis. In this type of therapy, drugs such as Lupron and Synarel are used to increase fertility in women who have trouble conceiving. For adult women, treatment with GNRH agonists is limited to at most six months because of problem of losing bone density. The problem with giving puberty blockers to children is that they are given for years instead of months, and are almost always followed up with cross-sex hormones. It is the timing and the combination of drugs that threaten fertility. Birth control pills put a temporary stop to fertility that ends when you stop the pill. Corticosteroids are prescribed to reduce inflammation, and I've never heard these drugs as causing infertility. In fact one of them, prednisolone, is used to treat infertility. Anabolic steroids are used in adult men who have low levels of testosterone. They can also be used to improve athletic performance in men and women. It is this type of use can cause infertility; athletes usually get these drugs without a prescription and are therefore illegal in the US.
8:30 the reason she was not allowed in male sports - was her safety, not that she is breaking integrity of sports or smth. Which makes situation ironic.
It's also weird your eyeballs have to 'hide' from your immune system, to enable you to see. True facts! But something being weird doesn't make it false. People have been changing the gender society takes them for, for literally centuries (maybe longer!). Changing sex is more recent...though most biologists would classify human sex based on a constellation of characteristics, and many of those can be changed after birth. So yeah, depending on your definition, people 'change sex' as well.
John Oliver, Nish Kumar and all the rest of the shouty weasels are for an audience that is unaware satire is pretty much stone cold dead. Reality is more absurd and these goons aren't creative enough to shout anything original that a random individual isn't already saying themselves.
James Acaster is unfortunately another one (who is petty, childish, dramatic, cynical and arrogant) who is a supporter of this trans, non-binary etc, nonsense and he’s another one who wants to go over to America to be known there (he is in the Ghostbusters sequel, which he shouldn’t have been in) as well as some Americans liking him and finding him funny.
It’s quite telling that these shills are always loud, shouty and aggressive when trying to put their convoluted points across. Thank you for so eloquently debunking this rubbish, it’s poetry 🙂🐥
It's an attempt to hoodwink with grandiose and splendor. He's preaching to the choir with his audience anyway so it's completely unnecessary, but it fuels the ego and creates a false hyper intellectual presence, which is the point.
Paul Pogba, French footballer, World Cup winner, MALE, was recently handed a 4 year ban from the sport for “doping.” Blood tests found he had anomalous levels of testosterone, suggesting he had been utilising extraneous sources of the male hormone for sporting benefit. If it is against the rules for males to take that hormone, then of course that female wrestler shouldn’t wrestle girls after taking testosterone. There’s a serious question whether she should wrestle boys either. The entitlement of these activists and these trans “athletes” is extraordinary. Maybe if you want to “transition” you have to make some sacrifices in order to not insult the rest of society. One sacrifice might be not playing competitive sport.
about most of the giant increase of transgender people, didn't most of those people identify as non-binary. Doesn't that imply that it is just people experimenting with their gender expression.
John Oliver used to do a hilarious podcast called The Bugle when he was still UK-based. His politics were still Left-wing but he was nowhere near as mouthpiece-y and preachy as his American incarnation. Shame.
Discord link is broken again. One thing that I find funny is that people use terms like "biological female" in this discourse. This is a tautology, all humans are biological.
It was his episode on trans rights that made me stop watching him. I lived his show but after that I just couldn't take anything he said seriously. it was pure ideology with absolutely no real research done at all. Completely biased
One of the more important points is that the claim that puberty blockers don't have permanent effects because when you stop using them, puberty resumes. Sure, the puberty blockers themselves aren't permanent, but what about the lost physical development during the span in which the blockers were used? That's certainly permanent. Your body doesn't just tack the lost development period back onto the end of puberty and extend its duration, whatever missed development you had is permanent.
This was very well said and well reasoned, articulate and logical, which is why I've appreciated your videos for a long time now. And you present your thoughts well with a lovely modulated voice, very easy to listen to.
@@nataliekhanyola5669 That's nice to hear. I'm having a very difficult time at the moment and am very sleep-deprived but there are a few in the pipeline.
The point about teaching a script from Oliver was a big yikes. With that logic the trans discourse is all about teaching a script regarding how to talk about marginalized gender identities. Oliver shooting himself in the foot with a nuke once again.
What's funny is, there are like 3 or 4 of the most despicable people you have ever seen who are online tran(d)s activists. Gotta dodge the comment police, sorry. Anyway, there are countless clips of these people literally presenting scripted responses for debates that involve all things turans. Sometimes, they will even admit that some arguments are not true, but the rhetoric is effective in debate. It really is a bummer to see so many people bend the knee to all these groups who are competing for a slot on the oppression totem pole. It is especially disappointing that people who have shown some talent for being witty, are now slaves to a rigid ideology that is rooted in delusion.
Years and years before I peaked, I bought one of the satire books by Jon Stewart. No idea where it is now, but if I find it again it's going straight into the dumpster.
@@twocanplay7976 They are both completely different people now. Stewart and Oliver were both funny and pretty interesting back in the 2000s. Stewart was a little more soy than Oliver, but old Daily Show episodes hold up pretty well. That said, I have never been so disgusted than I was after tuning into Jon Stewarts comeback debut. It was like watching a boomer trying to fit in with his loser kid and their non-binary BFF from gender studies class. Soy levels were off the charts. I never thought I'd hear someone that was once held in such high regard, sound like such a pu ssy. And then that "White Fragility" panel where 3 tards freaked out on the only minority on the episode, because he thought they were drastically overestimating racism in America... that was when I knew that it was too late. They already lobotomized him and he's never coming back.
100%. Used to like both enormously but they've each morphed into woke morons, mouthing the religious mantras of the ideology without ANY critical assessment of any kind.
That Beggs was allowed to continue to fight women whilst ridden with doping disquilifying subtances is insane. She was juiced to eleven the whole time. And I remember her talking shit to that guy who challenged to fight 10 trans men at once but I don't think she ever took on any men ever.
It doesnt matter if its gender dysphoria or a car crash that had someone's limbs replaced with bionic ones, incendiary rounds included, its still an unnatural advantage.
No, my uncle was born in the 1960s and he had to learn to be ambidextrous for school. My brother was a millennium baby, and he showed better ability with his left hand, but because the school noticed that he wasn't strongly left handed, they encouraged him and told my mum to, train him to be right handed, which didn't have great results. He continued to have poor co ordination with his right handm and lost his better co ordination with his left. My mum wanted to direct him towards being solidly left handed, but the school had the ultimate authority on that.
@@climaksy1659 No, my mum wanted him to be encouraged to write with his left hand and use left handed scissors and all because he had better fine motor co-ordination with that hand than with his left, so he could have neater handwriting and straight cut lines. Not cut his right hand off!
Could this issue cost the Democrats the election? Maybe. Maybe not. But it will be the reason this lifelong Democrat will vote Republican in the next election and I’ll keep voting Republican until womens rights are protected
Unfortunately republicans are not protecting women’s rights. They are also simply attacking them outright in other forms, but most notably via the attack on reproductive rights. There are currently ZERO pro-woman parties in the US. I was like you in 2020, and thought that switching parties and voting for republicans might actually do something. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.
I generally like John Oliver and in many shows he and his crew have done a great job exposing the harmful things big corporations and politicians do. But on this issue he's unfortunately just wrong and endorsing a dangerous ideology causing real harm to children. (And just as a disclaimer, I'm not transphobic and don't have any issue with legit transsexual people)
Just subscribed and loving this video. I used to love John Oliver and he seemed to have a sensible take on most things. This LWT episode, and the “Black Hair” episode really started to turn my view though and I have started to see how he is no more genuine or truth seeking than any other MSM show. Would love to see more of your breakdowns on these LWT episodes!
If you consider all the channels I've ever done it's actually absurdly large! But that's mostly from trying lots of different things and not wanting to burden the subscribers of one channel with all my experimentation
@@KC_Streams Oh please do. Your channel has kept me sane in the midst the ideology. Your points are well constructed and thought out. Matt Dillahuntys partner, Arden, did a video "on the line" where a caller called in and asked about Transracialism and trasngednerism and boy did they the have an "answer". You might want to check that one out for future content.
I like this channel. But he makes the mistake of saying that everything is the way it is because of the male patriarchy. If the male patriarchy is responsible for everything bad, are they also responsible for every thing good. It sounds like without the white patriarchy we would be living in caves with the main issue being that we need to avoid being eaten by other predators. The whole debate is mind numbing, hysterical, and disingenuous.
To Christians, Satan is responsible for everything bad in the world. According to you, that means Satan is also responsible for everything good in the world. Hail Satan.
Especially when it comes to sports too. Women's sports aren't as popular because they aren't as fun to watch (with exceptions). The biggest driver watching mens sports over womens sports is women...because they generally like to watch men do manly things.
Yes. I think it would be fair to not allow that until age 25. My personal opinion aside, the earliest you can get those procedures electively is at age 18. It should be the same for any elective surgery or hormone treatment. The fact that children are being allowed and even praised for transitioning is baffling. We think people shouldn't take the wrong hormones or remove/alter body parts on the basis of gender identity, period. But if they are going to do it they should at least be 18.
Can you debunk Vaush's video on the Cass Report? Just reading the comments makes me fume, how can people be so ignorant to the state of the world around them?😊
Clarification question: what is your stance on trans people as a whole? You seem to have alluded to it in the video, but I don't want to make assumptions based on limited information.
I think that "trans" is currently such a nebulously and broadly defined concept that it's hard to say. Trans can include everything from a sex criminal identifying as a woman to get access to women's prisons; to a young girl who wants to cut her hair short and wear a tee-shirt and decides this makes her non-binary, and a whole load of things in between
@@torinhight No one can be "born in the wrong body", our brains ARE our body just as much as any other part of it. We are the sex we are, regardless of what our personal relationship is with the sexist stereotypes in society. "Trans" ideology, is regressive and sexist, as there is no "correct way" of being a boy or girl, man or woman, all those terms do is indicate sex and stage of maturity - decoupling sex and gender and trying to make gender into this ludicrous concoction of personality and sexist stereotypes is beyond regressive - it actively harms people who buy into it - the idea that there is something wrong with a kid's body that needs to be chemically altered because they believe living up to sexist stereotypes is some real measure of whether they are a boy or a girl (and man or woman for adults obviously), is insanity!!! I have asked hundreds of "activists" and "allies" to explain what they are measuring themselves against to determine that they have a need to transition - NOT ONE person has been able to articulate what that is - not one person is able to distance themselves sufficiently to realise that THEY are the ones with a regressively sexist idea of what it means to be a boy/girl or man/woman and that that is the issue causing all the problems - their own misunderstanding and severely limited perspective/sexist misunderstanding of what sexist stereotypes/"gender norms" actually entail - they are not rules, they are not real boundaries, they are regressive ideas and generalisations - no one needs to live up to any such utter nonsense or feel comfortable with those stereotypes to be a boy/girl/man/woman - all those terms represent, and all they should represent, is sex and stage of maturity - by creating this whole "gender identity" nonsense, THAT IS WHAT CAUSES ALL THE DISTRESS, THIS FABRICATION OF A FRAMEWORK WHICH DISTORTS REALITY. No one - NO ONE - in the movement has been able to explain or articulate what this supposed "womanly essence" or "manly essence" is that they feel/know/need to transition in order to represent etc. actually is - yet you all actively believe in it and push for it to be accepted. That is ludicrous.
@@ambientjohnnyCan't define what a woman is.. but can "transition" to one in very specific ways even though "woman" can't be defined. Make it make sense.
Using radfems to refute the argument that trans opposition is conservative stops working so well when you ask those radfems about things other than feminism. It was depressing seeing some of Holly Lawford Smith's takes on Israel lately.
That doesn't necessarily make them conservatives does it? I'm not aware of what she said, so I can't really say. I am personally as left as they come and this is really the only issue they (other leftists) support that i'm very against. Yet expressing as much has automatically labeled me as a conservative and a republican when that couldn't be farther from the truth.
God, this is just the lowest level of political discussion - genuinely politics for the politically illiterate, religiously deluded and the genital obsessed.

Males and females think differently socialize differently have vasrly different bodies so how on earth is it possible then to change from one sex to the other?
Changing genders and sex is different. You cannot change what you were born as even with surgeries. You can change your clothes and pronouns and your name.
@@asherkinsley So why are activists and allies demanding female single-sex-segregated spaces be opened up to males based on what "gender identity" they have?
25:30 Come on now. The idea wasn't "I want short hair, therefore I'm male", the idea is "this change to my body makes me happier, therefore it should be allowed (within reason your statement on infertility and stuff is valid)". You really need to get off the "trans ideology is innately sexist" train, it's making you draw some pretty spurious conclusions.
Sir Ludwig Gutmann was a German (not Austrian) Jewish doctor who _fled_ Nazi Germany, and after became a British citizen. He was not a soldier, nor a Nazi. So just some misinformation you infect others with.
There are all kinds of reasons why men's sports are preferred beyond the insipid ideological patriarchy nonsense. That you ignore this invalidates everything else you say. You lose.

The only dudes you see not holding back are the ones trying to infiltrate women's sport and prouder than anyone to utilise that male advantage.
It is so refreshing to hear someone say how I feel. No one should be allowed to make an irreversible decision to sterilize themselves before 25yrs old.
I had a ton of issues and trauma with being a woman. It took a lot of therapy (different kinds) and not until 32 did I start thinking clearly. I realize I did want to be a mother. Because of the things that happened to me, my mental maturity was massively delayed. This whole thing is ludicrous, diabolical and pure evil (I’m not even religious) this feels like a form of eugenics.
Having a cold is a "medically recognized" condition, which we can treat the symtoms of with ephedrine type medicines, but because those medications do confer an advantage, you will be disqualified if you use them when competing.
👏👏👏
Nice point
I hate that acknowledging biological sex is a divisive issue. If body dysmorphia is seen as a mental problem, why wouldn't gender dysphoria? Eating disorders being on the rise isn't because there is "more visibility", it is because it is a social contagion.

The children transitioning thing will always be a topic of contention when these people say that the effects of puberty blockers are irreversible. Lupron, an ingredient used in blockers that is used to chemically castrate men and intensely fight against prostate cancer, I mean the writing is on the wall of why you shouldn't be giving this stuff to children. It's not just the fertility but also the disruption of the child's skeletal development and developing as well as brain development. It's so foolish and dangerous to sit there and not actually think about these things and how it will carry over into adult life with all the other things you mentioned (heart problems, liver problems, etc).
All in all I'm not really familiar with John Oliver but he comes off as another nonce who really doesn't know what the hell he is talking about and should seriously actually look into this topic outside of the TRA group and engage with some true critical thinking.
By definition, puberty blockers are reversible. You stop taking them and BOOM! Puberty! Gosh medicine is great.
There should be a red flag anytime someone says a drug is harmless, in the way Oliver has said puberty blockers are harmless. ALL drugs have side effects. Touting a drug as harmless is what caused the thalidomide tragedy.
@@missanne2908 Agreed
-18 are given birth control and other steroids that have similar effects so idk the point seems mid
@@oregonvibez I took Synarel (a GNRH agonist that is in the same class of drugs as Lupron and is also used as a puberty blocker) for six months as an adult for endometriosis. In this type of therapy, drugs such as Lupron and Synarel are used to increase fertility in women who have trouble conceiving. For adult women, treatment with GNRH agonists is limited to at most six months because of problem of losing bone density. The problem with giving puberty blockers to children is that they are given for years instead of months, and are almost always followed up with cross-sex hormones. It is the timing and the combination of drugs that threaten fertility.
Birth control pills put a temporary stop to fertility that ends when you stop the pill. Corticosteroids are prescribed to reduce inflammation, and I've never heard these drugs as causing infertility. In fact one of them, prednisolone, is used to treat infertility. Anabolic steroids are used in adult men who have low levels of testosterone. They can also be used to improve athletic performance in men and women. It is this type of use can cause infertility; athletes usually get these drugs without a prescription and are therefore illegal in the US.
Yes, i think it's a good idea to consolidate the channels for ease of finding all your content.
8:30 the reason she was not allowed in male sports - was her safety, not that she is breaking integrity of sports or smth. Which makes situation ironic.
Just weird anyone can "change" gender. Kids can't know what a nightmare being an adult is like without thinking that way.
It's also weird your eyeballs have to 'hide' from your immune system, to enable you to see. True facts! But something being weird doesn't make it false. People have been changing the gender society takes them for, for literally centuries (maybe longer!). Changing sex is more recent...though most biologists would classify human sex based on a constellation of characteristics, and many of those can be changed after birth. So yeah, depending on your definition, people 'change sex' as well.
John Oliver, Nish Kumar and all the rest of the shouty weasels are for an audience that is unaware satire is pretty much stone cold dead.
Reality is more absurd and these goons aren't creative enough to shout anything original that a random individual isn't already saying themselves.
James Acaster is unfortunately another one (who is petty, childish, dramatic, cynical and arrogant) who is a supporter of this trans, non-binary etc, nonsense and he’s another one who wants to go over to America to be known there (he is in the Ghostbusters sequel, which he shouldn’t have been in) as well as some Americans liking him and finding him funny.
“…shouty weasels… “
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Perfect.
It’s quite telling that these shills are always loud, shouty and aggressive when trying to put their convoluted points across. Thank you for so eloquently debunking this rubbish, it’s poetry 🙂🐥
It's an attempt to hoodwink with grandiose and splendor. He's preaching to the choir with his audience anyway so it's completely unnecessary, but it fuels the ego and creates a false hyper intellectual presence, which is the point.
Paul Pogba, French footballer, World Cup winner, MALE, was recently handed a 4 year ban from the sport for “doping.”
Blood tests found he had anomalous levels of testosterone, suggesting he had been utilising extraneous sources of the male hormone for sporting benefit.
If it is against the rules for males to take that hormone, then of course that female wrestler shouldn’t wrestle girls after taking testosterone. There’s a serious question whether she should wrestle boys either.
The entitlement of these activists and these trans “athletes” is extraordinary.
Maybe if you want to “transition” you have to make some sacrifices in order to not insult the rest of society. One sacrifice might be not playing competitive sport.
about most of the giant increase of transgender people, didn't most of those people identify as non-binary. Doesn't that imply that it is just people experimenting with their gender expression.
John Oliver used to do a hilarious podcast called The Bugle when he was still UK-based. His politics were still Left-wing but he was nowhere near as mouthpiece-y and preachy as his American incarnation. Shame.
Discord link is broken again.
One thing that I find funny is that people use terms like "biological female" in this discourse. This is a tautology, all humans are biological.
Makes me think we should call them "socially constructed females"
Don’t be obtuse
@@soopersooper3291 I'm being facetious, you don't seem to argue the point though.
"Socially constructed female"
IDK why that damn discord link doesn't just stay valid. I set it to never expire every time
Doesn’t that left-handed point kind of go against their argument? Seems like great evidence that social pressure can influence such a graph.
It was his episode on trans rights that made me stop watching him. I lived his show but after that I just couldn't take anything he said seriously. it was pure ideology with absolutely no real research done at all. Completely biased
Thank you for having a youtube channel, I was beginning to think I was insane.
One of the more important points is that the claim that puberty blockers don't have permanent effects because when you stop using them, puberty resumes. Sure, the puberty blockers themselves aren't permanent, but what about the lost physical development during the span in which the blockers were used? That's certainly permanent. Your body doesn't just tack the lost development period back onto the end of puberty and extend its duration, whatever missed development you had is permanent.
This was very well said and well reasoned, articulate and logical, which is why I've appreciated your videos for a long time now. And you present your thoughts well with a lovely modulated voice, very easy to listen to.
Absolutely superb take-down - thank you!
Can't wait till you make a new video. I look forward to watching your content!
@@nataliekhanyola5669 That's nice to hear. I'm having a very difficult time at the moment and am very sleep-deprived but there are a few in the pipeline.
Your channel is criminally undervalued. The algorithm
The point about teaching a script from Oliver was a big yikes. With that logic the trans discourse is all about teaching a script regarding how to talk about marginalized gender identities. Oliver shooting himself in the foot with a nuke once again.
What's funny is, there are like 3 or 4 of the most despicable people you have ever seen who are online tran(d)s activists. Gotta dodge the comment police, sorry. Anyway, there are countless clips of these people literally presenting scripted responses for debates that involve all things turans. Sometimes, they will even admit that some arguments are not true, but the rhetoric is effective in debate.
It really is a bummer to see so many people bend the knee to all these groups who are competing for a slot on the oppression totem pole. It is especially disappointing that people who have shown some talent for being witty, are now slaves to a rigid ideology that is rooted in delusion.
Progressives project like one of their parents was a movie screen.
He and Jon Stewart are so gross to me now that I’ve peaked.
yeah Jon Stewart is such an arrogant asshole
Years and years before I peaked, I bought one of the satire books by Jon Stewart. No idea where it is now, but if I find it again it's going straight into the dumpster.
@@twocanplay7976 They are both completely different people now. Stewart and Oliver were both funny and pretty interesting back in the 2000s. Stewart was a little more soy than Oliver, but old Daily Show episodes hold up pretty well. That said, I have never been so disgusted than I was after tuning into Jon Stewarts comeback debut. It was like watching a boomer trying to fit in with his loser kid and their non-binary BFF from gender studies class.
Soy levels were off the charts. I never thought I'd hear someone that was once held in such high regard, sound like such a pu ssy. And then that "White Fragility" panel where 3 tards freaked out on the only minority on the episode, because he thought they were drastically overestimating racism in America... that was when I knew that it was too late. They already lobotomized him and he's never coming back.
@@twocanplay7976I mean, Stewart still has things of worth and value to say. Being stupid about this issue doesn’t discredit everythibg
100%. Used to like both enormously but they've each morphed into woke morons, mouthing the religious mantras of the ideology without ANY critical assessment of any kind.
That Beggs was allowed to continue to fight women whilst ridden with doping disquilifying subtances is insane. She was juiced to eleven the whole time. And I remember her talking shit to that guy who challenged to fight 10 trans men at once but I don't think she ever took on any men ever.
Cant belive i though john oliver was decent when i was younger
I like John Oliver, but his smugness and sexism here is intolerable.
Thanks for the video.
It doesnt matter if its gender dysphoria or a car crash that had someone's limbs replaced with bionic ones, incendiary rounds included, its still an unnatural advantage.
Male sports should be an open category.
It is, it has been.
That's almost always the case.
Male sports are already an open category. For example here in the US, the NFL and NBA do not bar women from competing.
trans women belong in their own catagory in sports, they have NO place in womens sports
No, my uncle was born in the 1960s and he had to learn to be ambidextrous for school. My brother was a millennium baby, and he showed better ability with his left hand, but because the school noticed that he wasn't strongly left handed, they encouraged him and told my mum to, train him to be right handed, which didn't have great results. He continued to have poor co ordination with his right handm and lost his better co ordination with his left. My mum wanted to direct him towards being solidly left handed, but the school had the ultimate authority on that.
So... he should have his right hand amputated so that he could only be lefthanded?
@@climaksy1659 No, my mum wanted him to be encouraged to write with his left hand and use left handed scissors and all because he had better fine motor co-ordination with that hand than with his left, so he could have neater handwriting and straight cut lines.
Not cut his right hand off!
Thank you. So many good points and analogies.
I like your set up it seems improved! 😊
I think that you are the King! 👑 🏆
Could this issue cost the Democrats the election? Maybe. Maybe not. But it will be the reason this lifelong Democrat will vote Republican in the next election and I’ll keep voting Republican until womens rights are protected
Unfortunately republicans are not protecting women’s rights. They are also simply attacking them outright in other forms, but most notably via the attack on reproductive rights. There are currently ZERO pro-woman parties in the US. I was like you in 2020, and thought that switching parties and voting for republicans might actually do something. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.
I generally like John Oliver and in many shows he and his crew have done a great job exposing the harmful things big corporations and politicians do.
But on this issue he's unfortunately just wrong and endorsing a dangerous ideology causing real harm to children. (And just as a disclaimer, I'm not transphobic and don't have any issue with legit transsexual people)
You should check out Buck Angel if you haven't already.
Just subscribed and loving this video. I used to love John Oliver and he seemed to have a sensible take on most things. This LWT episode, and the “Black Hair” episode really started to turn my view though and I have started to see how he is no more genuine or truth seeking than any other MSM show. Would love to see more of your breakdowns on these LWT episodes!
I thought you had like 13 channels 😅
If you consider all the channels I've ever done it's actually absurdly large! But that's mostly from trying lots of different things and not wanting to burden the subscribers of one channel with all my experimentation
Wish I could give you thousand likes. You tackled Oliver's "arguments" very well. Please keep up the good work!
John Oliver isn't stupid ,he cant actually believe the script he (i hope forced?)to read ????

-the line.
I like this channel. But he makes the mistake of saying that everything is the way it is because of the male patriarchy. If the male patriarchy is responsible for everything bad, are they also responsible for every thing good. It sounds like without the white patriarchy we would be living in caves with the main issue being that we need to avoid being eaten by other predators. The whole debate is mind numbing, hysterical, and disingenuous.
To Christians, Satan is responsible for everything bad in the world. According to you, that means Satan is also responsible for everything good in the world. Hail Satan.
Especially when it comes to sports too. Women's sports aren't as popular because they aren't as fun to watch (with exceptions). The biggest driver watching mens sports over womens sports is women...because they generally like to watch men do manly things.
19:39
Hmmm, that sounds like an anti-feminist stance. Aren't feminists mad that doctors don't like to perform hysterectomies or tie tubes?
Yes. I think it would be fair to not allow that until age 25.
My personal opinion aside, the earliest you can get those procedures electively is at age 18. It should be the same for any elective surgery or hormone treatment. The fact that children are being allowed and even praised for transitioning is baffling.
We think people shouldn't take the wrong hormones or remove/alter body parts on the basis of gender identity, period. But if they are going to do it they should at least be 18.
Alcohol can leave serious damages too. Should be banned for minors.
Can you debunk Vaush's video on the Cass Report? Just reading the comments makes me fume, how can people be so ignorant to the state of the world around them?😊

Clarification question: what is your stance on trans people as a whole? You seem to have alluded to it in the video, but I don't want to make assumptions based on limited information.
I think that "trans" is currently such a nebulously and broadly defined concept that it's hard to say. Trans can include everything from a sex criminal identifying as a woman to get access to women's prisons; to a young girl who wants to cut her hair short and wear a tee-shirt and decides this makes her non-binary, and a whole load of things in between
@@KC_Streams would it be correct to say that you believe trans is either evil or misguided? (As in 'trans' isn't a valid identification?)
@@torinhight No one can be "born in the wrong body", our brains ARE our body just as much as any other part of it. We are the sex we are, regardless of what our personal relationship is with the sexist stereotypes in society. "Trans" ideology, is regressive and sexist, as there is no "correct way" of being a boy or girl, man or woman, all those terms do is indicate sex and stage of maturity - decoupling sex and gender and trying to make gender into this ludicrous concoction of personality and sexist stereotypes is beyond regressive - it actively harms people who buy into it - the idea that there is something wrong with a kid's body that needs to be chemically altered because they believe living up to sexist stereotypes is some real measure of whether they are a boy or a girl (and man or woman for adults obviously), is insanity!!!
I have asked hundreds of "activists" and "allies" to explain what they are measuring themselves against to determine that they have a need to transition - NOT ONE person has been able to articulate what that is - not one person is able to distance themselves sufficiently to realise that THEY are the ones with a regressively sexist idea of what it means to be a boy/girl or man/woman and that that is the issue causing all the problems - their own misunderstanding and severely limited perspective/sexist misunderstanding of what sexist stereotypes/"gender norms" actually entail - they are not rules, they are not real boundaries, they are regressive ideas and generalisations - no one needs to live up to any such utter nonsense or feel comfortable with those stereotypes to be a boy/girl/man/woman - all those terms represent, and all they should represent, is sex and stage of maturity - by creating this whole "gender identity" nonsense, THAT IS WHAT CAUSES ALL THE DISTRESS, THIS FABRICATION OF A FRAMEWORK WHICH DISTORTS REALITY.
No one - NO ONE - in the movement has been able to explain or articulate what this supposed "womanly essence" or "manly essence" is that they feel/know/need to transition in order to represent etc. actually is - yet you all actively believe in it and push for it to be accepted. That is ludicrous.
@@ambientjohnnyCan't define what a woman is.. but can "transition" to one in very specific ways even though "woman" can't be defined. Make it make sense.
Using radfems to refute the argument that trans opposition is conservative stops working so well when you ask those radfems about things other than feminism. It was depressing seeing some of Holly Lawford Smith's takes on Israel lately.
That doesn't necessarily make them conservatives does it? I'm not aware of what she said, so I can't really say.
I am personally as left as they come and this is really the only issue they (other leftists) support that i'm very against. Yet expressing as much has automatically labeled me as a conservative and a republican when that couldn't be farther from the truth.
