I think it's really interesting how both of you are trying to step beyond your own bias and actually listen to one another... but then it turns out to be a real struggle because you both so much want the other person to see your point. I agree with both of you. As it stands, the almost mythical status of trans individuals is making it nearly impossible to criticise their place in society, so there I agree with you. And I agree with Neil that it is now upon us all to solve these problems moving forward, by leveling the playing field altogether. Maybe in fifty years we will look back at this and think it's all just as silly as the boys and girls entrance to the school. New solutions will be found. Thank you for bringing light to this topic and speaking to people with very different views about it.
@@hannekezijlmans6578 we did even the playing field when we made women only spaces/sports/shortlists that’s how women got opportunities, it’s men that want to be women that are pushing into these areas causing the problem. Trans women are not the same as women. Pretending so only hurts real women. Have a trans category and let’s see how many trans athletes sign up shall we? If you transition to another sex you are a trans person in a separate class from man and woman if there are actually so many of them it won’t be a waste of time and money to accommodate them in their own spaces/sport/shortlists. That won’t happen because the trans movement has been hijacked by fetishists and perverts and if they can’t spy on or intimidate women then what’s the point.
@@lordgizmor1376 Because the personal is political, being trans isn't just about their junk, or lack thereof, but the ability to force others to accept their worldview as well. It all comes back to Marx and Gramsci eventually, it does with practically every leftist ideology. They just change the names every so often to hide it.
i had an ongoing "debate" with a couple of these parrots who kept coming back to "why do you care" after their accusations of phobia and bigotry did not achieve the desired and expected withering away and dying. i asked chat gp t if that was a reasonable argument - "In a debate, "Why do you care?" is generally not considered a reasonable argument on its own. This response may be perceived as dismissive or evasive rather than addressing the actual points or issues raised during the debate. Debates are meant to be an exchange of ideas and arguments, and simply asking why someone cares does not contribute to the substance of the discussion."
I like it, whereas normally I'd just have to listen to this annoying blowhard lecture everyone on cosmology and the composition of celestial bodies, now I know that I can walk intellectual circles around the guy regarding basic biology and its relevance in society. I'll bet I can beat you at arm wrestling too.
That’s considerate, and if it’s a joke, it is funny. The key thing to remember is that being an expert in a field it does not mean that one is naturally right. Because someone is well educated does not mean that they are knowledgeable on the subject. The truth is, Tyson’s arguments, about many things, are suspect. It’s the quality of the argument, not the merit or résumé of a person. Good luck with your astrophysicist endeavors.
As much as i disagreed with him, i dont think neither side interrupted rudely. Both sides just wanted to counter points across a varying discussion. I do agree however NDT doesnt like it in other discussions ive seen.
It is deeply sad to see such a great scientist and science popularizer being so indoctrinated by the woke movement that he can only shit out of his ass.
Truth! I've lost all faith in my celeb scientists. Neil is woke AF, The late S.Hawking was an Epstein fan. late Carl Sagan on the climate crisis... I used to love these dudes
Comedians has always spoken the truth. They just convey it in a way to make fun of the reality. Seinfeld only speak of what he sees and understand. Nothing more or less. Ever. George Carlin is probably the biggest legend of speaking the truth on a level above most people, but still make everyone understand his point with comedian perspective he delivers this.
And no-one is smart enough to break down this issue into its actual fundamentals: The only real objective and reason for any of this to begin with is: some criminal peeping tom and flasher men want to gain access to women's locker rooms to commit the crimes of peeping on those women and indecent exposure of themselves to those women for their sexual gratification. Well, maybe for some of them the objective is purely the criminal financial benefit they gain from cheating in sports.
"Why do you care?!" He wouldn't dare ask Payton McNabb parents that question. She was a high school volleyball player who was severely injured when a ball spiked by a trans opponent struck her in the face with such force, that it knocked her to the ground and left her with brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a volleyball college scholarship and has made it difficult to walk without falling.
@ What would be the point of asking the parents apart from rubbing in the pain of such a tragic accident? I know there is no compassion of the left side of the political spectrum, that make a lot of noise about being caring people, but we tend to judge people by their actions and their actions are clear
When you ignore the science that you have built your whole career on you have been indoctrinated. Ideology is the complete opposite to actual definitive science. The man is a fool
They are intellectually superior to him and by staying quiet, sitting back and letting him rant on he exposes his arrogance and belligerent manner, and spurious ideology. It's cringeworthy to watch him self-destruct.
Bloody Hell! How rude is he? The guy is not stupid but he clearly swallowed the pill of trans ideology. His suggestion that we bend over forwards and backwards to accommodate a few mediocre men in sports is ridiculous. Comparing trans to Jim Crow and racial segregation is very offensive. Neil has been chipping away at his credibility for some time now.
I’ve got a friend like this, a scientist, who speaks to everyone as if they are too stupid to understand. What he and Tyson lack is common sense and the ability to be challenged without getting angry
Yeah, as someone who is a military history freak, it blows my mind how ignorant he is when he talks about warfare or geopolitics. I have to skip through most of what he says because he beats his points to death thinking that “if only the plebes understood…” We understand, you’re just a dipshit.
It's the way he keeps interrupting and talking over Konstantin. It's obvious he's hoping he can distract from the point being made, or derail to such an extent that he won't have to actually answer the question being asked. When he is asked a simple question, he witters on providing extraneous, irrelevant details, as if trying to run out the clock. "When I was a kid I did wrestling" , "years ago in kindergarten they made boys and girls use different entrances" blah blah blah ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!
A platform in which people are allowed to disagree and make their point to each other broadens perspective. I had an idiot friend who debates people the exact same way, don't talk to him anymore because it turns into an ego fest.
No kidding, It's so crazy that I'm starting to question my own reality.. like either I've gone mad and this is all a weird delusion I'm having or like the 60% of the world has gone nuts.
@@garethdelux9266I'm with you. It feels like many of us are trying to hold our minds together as we witness the majority of the world (the western world, at least) collectively lose theirs. It makes me very sad, and VERY concerned. Something is truly, deeply wrong- and I don't know how we can possibly get over this.
@@garethdelux9266 Feel helpless and ineffectual? Here is some clarification... “If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master.

The three women who have accused Neil deGrasse Tyson of sexual misconduct are: 1. **Tchiya Amet** - She accused Tyson of raping her when they were graduate students in the 1980s. 2. **Katelyn Allers** - She accused Tyson of inappropriate behavior at a 2009 American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting. 3. **Ashley Watson** - She accused Tyson of making inappropriate sexual advances while she worked as his assistant on the show "Cosmos."
This man has absolutely lost his mind. He refuses to answer the most basic questions, provides nothing but hypotheticals, and frustratedly talks over everyone. _"Fix the playing field"_ is utterly meaningless. The playing field wasn't broken until men and their supporters like Neil decided to break it. Men's sport won't be affected. This is pure absurdity.
Yes, there's something surreal about watching this grown man yell about "fixing the playing field", when you realize that what he's talking about is the staggering injustice of . . . women's sports and women's safe spaces. This clown actually believes these spaces are equivalent to Jim Crowe. He really just stuffed his own foot in his mouth and chowed down like it was finest steak. "Neil, you're eating a stinking shoe!" "Fuck you, racist! This is finest tenderloin! When will we fix our BROKEN SOCIETY?"
When he made the comment about worrying more about why there are female quotas, I realized he was incapable of critical thinking. Kisin: A house is on fire. How would you put the fire out? Neil: I'm more concerned about how the house caught on fire in the first place.
Japp. He’s using rhetorical methods of downgrading the person he’s talking to. Ad hominem approach, loads of wordy BS, but not letting the other person finish their argument. And what kind of argument is “what do you care”??! The dumbest of them all. Gosh this dude, unbelievable.
@@jordach545never have I ever heard someone supposedly schooling somebody, with baseless suppositions. This was NDG schooling himself and making himself into a fool, same as the tailors made the emperors new clothes, school the emperor by his own hubris.
I spent a few minutes going through the comments and it was interesting. Every comment was against NTD. I didn't see one commenter agree with his viewpoint. Maybe this country has a chance afterall.
with money on my mind, got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye. I'm a loc'ed out gansta, set trippin' banger and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, FOO!
You might disagree with him and in terms of trans women competing in sports I do as well, but he’s definitely not a fool. He has thought out positions that require thought out responses.
He hasn't always been a fraud. He just happens to be egregiously wrong in this conversation. Not everyone that has a perspective you disagree with is an idiot. They're either influenced or have a temperament geared towards that perspective. In this case Tyson is influenced by probably a myriad of things My attitude is exactly as @NotZelda1. It's concerning because Tyson seems to be towing a line that may have severe social consequences
He is just another “hustler” doing his thing, Alexis De Tocqueville journaled this very accurately. In addition, he is just another “idiot” in a planet overflowing with the hard of thinking….
he's a human beings and i'm sure the emotional reaction is frustration at the possible range of solutions to these cultural changes - rather than wanting to go backwards.
Ye exactly because if gender can be based on how I present myself. If a man wants to wear makeup and make his jaw look smaller and eyes look more feminine. And be a woman. Why can't someone apply dark tan and makeup to darken or lighten their skin to present as a different race, if they FEEL they identify with another culture more and want to be Asian for example... like plenty white people love Asian culture say. And may dress in the way the trends are popular over there and act a certain way. Like cutesy shy personality and wacky clothes or whatever... they aren't claiming to be Asian they just like that vibe and fashion. Dress however you wanna dress. Look however you wanna look, makeup, surgery, whatever. Don't claim to be something you are not. The social contagion has gone wild.
He is like Ben Shapiro. They way he bombastically over dramatizes his mannerisms and speech patterns makes you think what he is saying has gravitas and depth but it is a baffle because the words he is saying are empty. It is made to make you think he is so confident in what he says. But he can't hide his body language. He is terrible at it. Several points he was visibly shaking. He was trying to explain how enlightened their bathrooms are. He literally just described a bathroom. The problem isn't that there aren't small dividers between stalls mate, its that people can still look and touch over those things.
@@simondavis750 Bathrooms have, IMO, always been the 'easy' win which masks the real harm. It is relatively simple to create private spaces in a bathroom, the real issue is the underlying principle of 'women (female) only spaces.' I don't care about bathrooms. I care how you can prove voyeurism and exhibitionism - known sexual crimes committed overwhelming against women - if you have locker rooms, spas, and other spaces where anyone can 'self identify' as a woman and enter. I am still waiting for someone, anyone, to give me a definition of the word 'woman' that neither relies on biology nor on stereotypes yet still retains enough meaning you could legally classify someone as one. Maybe I'll consider the 'trans women are women' point as possibly valid if anyone could do it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is the single most arrogant person I've ever seen embraced by the media. Carl Sagan built bridges, Tyson just lectures and talks down to people.
It's not that arrogant to expect every sport to completely change so men and womens physical and mental differences don't matter. All we need to do is capture a leprechaun and wish it. Easy peasy
Carl Sagan didnt have to deal with todays right-wing populism and extremism, did he. People were sensible back in Carl Sagans time. And they were careful not to say stupid stuff because that would be embarrassing. People arent like that anymore. Its about "owning", "winning", and "embarrassing" people that are smarter than you now. Its a different culture. The age of the clickbait.
why should I have to wake up go to my pool and look at a penis I never wanted to see in my women’s change room feel who you want to be but your comfort as a trans man is more important than my comfort as a woman NEIL YOU HAVE MADE ME SAD YOUR ONE OFF IS SAD
No he is 100% right I know your primitive neanderthal brain has your feelings hurt but that's ok because no one gaf 🤣🤣 but he is right by the way. It's biology until you earn your PhD you could debate Neil. Until then STFU B
It's so sad to see a formerly intelligent man like this making a fool of himself stumbling through nonsensical points just to try to justify the brainwashing that he's fallen under.
he's not brainwashed, he's been bought. Push the narrative and receive speaking jobs at conventions, news interviews, etc. He's gets paid a lot of money to push things he knows aren't true. A fools salary is very high these days.
Was he ever intelligent or was he a manufactured product? All those popular science programs, who wrote the words he spoke? Was he just a figure head with the right....um...physical characteristics desired by the puppet masters?
Completely true. I'm a physicist, and I have had no training on gender issues. He's not speaking as a physicist, but (as I see it) a buffoon with an ideology who is terrified of being cancelled. I'm done with NDT.
I don't remember anything Stephen Hawking invented but I can tell you all about a Doomsday clock that moves backwards in time he did the mental gymnastics on.
Honestly I’d question anything he speaks on, even physics. The lack of logic, critical thinking he’s displayed should ensure this guy isn’t taken seriously in anything.
So instead of male and female sports categories, we have lung capacity categories, bone density categories, hip girth categories, fast twitch muscle fibre categories, testosterone level categories. Only in Neil deGrasse Tyson's mind does that make sense.
And it will end up being essentially male groups seperate from female groups, with a small overlap where 110lb flyweight men can compete with 140lb women.
It really wouldn't be difficult at all. Create trans categories. However, of course, you can't, because we all have to play along with the idea that they are not "trans" they are REAL women, and REAL men, and therefore they should compete with the other REAL categories. Because saying, alright you are a biological male but you want to live your life as a woman, fine by me, is NOT enough. We have to accept them as REAL women or men. That's the crazy part of it all.
I always had mixed feelings about Neil. The guy is clearly a brilliant science communicator. He has an amazing ability to convey complex ideas in science in a way the ordinary person can understand and be engaged. He is also a loudmouth with a giant ego. He can't help but talk over other people which is a character flaw I find highly irritating.
Yep. NGT's intellectual mediocrity never ceases to amaze me. NGT is conflating gender and biological sex when these are two very different things. There are some rare chromosomal anomalies, but for the most part (99.995%), biological sex is binary: male XY and female XX. Changing external genitalia via surgery doesn't change this. A female's fertility cycle, physiology and biochemistry is very complex. Yes, gender is more fluid, and yes that's many associations many of which are cultural. But still gender and biological sex are two very different things.
If I’m honest, I never cared for him. I thought he was a decent science communicator who bought into his own hype. And now he’s still buying into his own hype AND he’s bought into this ideology as well. It’s compounded his own sense of self righteousness.
I never comment on anything, but here goes. You guys did a spectacular job, but I really do wish you gave more examples when he asked because there are a ton. Besides sports, bathrooms and Parliament there is also: DV/SA centers, group therapy, AA or sensitive support groups, any type of lesbian group, scholarships, changing rooms, jails, prison, rehab, inpatient, hospital settings, birthing situations, dating apps, friendship apps, sororities, living situations, group homes, it messes up crime statistics, any kind of data collection, medical studies, it clogs up services meant just for women. On and on and on.
Oh dear ! This is a classic example of how intelligence does not give any protection from stupidity. Neils "shut up I'm smarter than you!" behaviour has lost him a lot respect IMO. Imagine Thomas Sowell or John McWorter behaving like that! Two very smart guys who calmly and simply put points forward and quite rightly gain massive respect in doing so.
Tyson thinks there are perfect solutions, ie fix society. Thomas Sowell thinks there are no perfect solutions, there's only trade offs and he's right! Tyson has an elitist mindset
That’s why when he can’t win an argument he turns to insults - like saying that the interviewer is being rude in interrupting, and then making a big deal about it. 😏. He always needs to be on top.
TYSON: I'm a libertarian and the trans issue has no externalities. TRIGGERNOMETRY: It has externalities. TYSON: So let's turn the whole world upside down to address these externalities. TRIGGERNOMETRY: WTF?!?
Pretty much sums it up for me. His 'solutions' would requiring changing how the world organizes public restrooms and locker room and such (just as a start). That sounds like a humongous amount of money needed to set things right according to his view. He might know science, but he is NO economist.
🎉...There are other examples because you don't get the functions,the sensibility ,the strength,the filters and shields your instincts and natural biological body has when you are willing to get a different one. Having another hole in your body doesn't make it a vagina...if you are a male you aren't even aware of all the movements of a real one...less the feelings and the triggers in your body, thoughts and actions.. You don't have the alarm to be half sleeping hearing everything when you are a mother , neither the "weakness" feeling when you are without your male partner ( while he has the strongest protection feeling of all his life)...that rewards you with comfort and satisfaction when you both are together.There hundreds of other aspects/ functons/ full package thoughts+feelings+physical automatic syndromes that is inherently part of a woman and a man,they are different and complementary. Special places for women...just because instincts are the strength to keep going on when even our faith and body is scrambling down. Men should not have to fight their instincts all time as women should not risk to face some few men who don't care about others releasing the danger part of their instincts when they are alone with women undressing. You will lose a war if your army has just females and the enemy has males.You will loose your civilization if the main daily carers are males and no females as physical strength is not the main force to keep you healthy. There were children in a hospital in South America,one hundred years ago( scientific data in medical school library), many babies were dying after admission, even when they had the proper treatment...they didn't have their mother or any maternal figure with them. One male doctor thought the nuns could help,and they did,in less than one month all the babies were eating and getting better with the same medical treatment as before.After that trial, mothers were allowed and prompt to stay in hospital with their children,if they had children at home the nuns would help in the hospital. You don't feel the same in front of a woman and it's not just a feeling... you don't feel the same in front of a man and it's not just a feeling,.It has consequences in your life and everyone else. If you need to do anything to reassemble a man or a woman then you are not one because all you need to become one is TIME 🕐. Trans...so much effort to get the fake spot!
He originally went along with the gender madness because he was scared of being cancelled, and now he's just too scared to admit that he's ever been wrong about something.
Rather, he thinks his PhD in astrophysics makes him an expert in other subjects due to his rational scientist's mind. He's not the only expert like that.
I just reached a new height of respect for Konstantin and Francis watching this. The patience and respect they are able to show dealing with this pompous, self-important and overblown piece of pop media "smart man" Tyson is awe-inspiring. They show how healthy communication should be across the mid if we want a better future for all of us. Much to his shame, but not unexpectedly, Tyson doesn't show the same level of intellect and empathy. ...and yes, I do know that pompous and self-important is sort of the same thing, but for this man, I felt a strong need to cement the statement.
He embarrassed America by acting like a child. It’s funny how they said virtually nothing and the whole time he was defensive and throwing his arms around as if no one could understand his towering intellect. The cherry on top was his ending statements about how people act stupid and if they only understood him the world would work perfectly. Talk about echo chamber arrogance.
I scrolled down just a bit and CTRL-F'ed the word "pompous" and was going to be very disappointed if there was nothing found. Thank you for not letting me down. lol
I'm so sick of people who want to pretend that the bathroom issue isn't important. Years ago,before all this controversy,I had a female friend who was raped in a gender neutral bathroom. To hear a scientist talk this way is very disturbing. I'll never again be able to take anything that man says seriously. He is so afraid of being cancelled What a coward!
its horrible that horror was visited upon your friend but the gender neutraul bathroom was not the key component in that crime. incidentally i dont agree with NDT on this subject. my point is Evil people will do Evil things regardless of which Gender they wish to Identify with.
But it barely made a dent against someone who deflects, deflects and then motte-and-baileys as if his life depended on it. God, this was unbelievably frustrating.
@@paulhitchens7180 Ladies and gentlemen, one of the greatest Scientists™ of our time. Truly. Complete with TV presenter speech, overenunciated, with all the right pauses.
Hell, you can identify as toad and it's no ones business, but when you ask others to believe in your own delusion and change their own lives and morality to fit yours, then your delusion can no longer should be tolerated. Your delusion must be cured or you must be removed from civil society.
Which is why the division will remain, the trans radicals want all or nothing, or you are a transhomosogynistphobeemicist Acceptance of gender expression is not on the table to them unless it includes changing the scientific literature,ediucation,law,justice,medical practices and funding, and the right to suppress other's rights with their own radicalisation.
be patient: in '92, Falcone, the most important Italian judge, was blown up with 1 ton of TNT. the mafia could have killed him with 2 gunshots a week earlier outside Sicily where he was not super protected. this created such a sensation that the state had to create special laws and prisons. the underbosses asked the mafia boss "why? it will be our end" and he said "they asked me". Who asked him to do it and why remains a mystery he took to his grave. now I have the same feeling: Who is asking the scientist to defend these unscientific and indefensible ideas? why is he spending all his credibility?
"Fix the playing field," I assume, means fix the rules and divisions or categories within the sport, for a few who's belief of their individuality now outweighs the rules of the sport. This gives rise to the problem of the playing field not being constant across the board and then it becomes unfair play rather than sport, competition and athleticism. Let them have their own category while keeping the playing field constant.
Ok so you want to suppress people's involvement instead of trying to accommodate their freedom? The reality is that society is rapidly changing and more and more people will come out with their freedom of expression as we become more accepting of them (like what happened with homosexuality and gay marriage laws). Transgenderism and homosexuality is a fact of social phenomena, and if we suppress their freedom, how can we ever cross the barrier of segregation and bigotry? The solution is to have weight classes, not further divide. What is the point of being called the land of the free if we continue with these polarizing outdated thoughts?
Nope. It’s trans people who want to prohibit girls’ and women’s freedoms, and our involvement in athletics. Why trash all women’s sports from grade school to college; college scholarships; Olympic opportunities; and women’s privacy and safety so that men in dresses can play on the easier team for them? It’s absurd to push women and girls around like this.
I don't think so. I think he's genuine. He just does not understand what the argument is actually about. He's approaching things from his perspective not realising that his perspective is not shared by anyone else.
Exactly. He knows if he doesnt pish this bs then he will never get another multi hundred thousand dollar speaking gig ever again. Yet he does also seem to have rationalised it to himself. So hes a pos and a moron.
Hes got skeletons in his closet. They tried to get him once with the metoo movement and know he's terrified and tries to ass lick every left wing ideology
@@CristiNeagu Nooooo. He's looking down the barrel of a pistol and reciting the script to the masses. Normally he wouldn't even be involved in talking about this bs.
This dude is very good at turning me off "mainstream" science. He's the antithesis of what it should be. The scientific method is to admit that you never have the answer and to always question. He's helped to bring in the idea of an absolute truth within the discipline; he's basically aided the idea of heresy within science...
Yea there isn't science anymore there is simply bought and paid for studies with an express intention to skew the data toward an agenda. In essence it is a new religion doled out by the "authority" to the ignorant masses that wouldn't have the ambition to look up and understand the scientific method.
@@Aspartame69 Different matter entirely. Even in different species of creatures, even in plants, there are male and female and there are differences. The differences between ethnicities is insignificant in comparison.
But if you take the idea of women and men and then if... just wait, I can explain let me finish let me finish. The thing is I am a scientist and if you take into account a society and the thing you have to take into account is that I'm right.
Well if you rank people IQ across ethnicities or regions, you’d maybe be surprised to know that it isn’t an equal distribution. So clearly IQ is racist.
Tyson is very rude. So a little 5 year old girl has to go into the same communal bathroom as a 60 year old man?! NO! Bad policy is being created based on bad "science"
It was my understanding he was talking about changing facilities and not bathrooms, wash rooms or toilets. My question is this, who sends their 5 year old into the toilet alone?
Yeah, I totally fail to see how having separate stools in the same communal bathrooms solved anything. What happened to the urinals? Do guys now have to queue for ages to go for a piss because of this 'solution'?
@@LowlyEidolonwho would send a 5 year old into a bathroom alone? A father. One that knows a man won’t be in there because it is a WOMANs bathroom. You know that kids go to school at 4 or 5 alone, right?
According to Tyson’s words, a man can wake up feeling female, choose to be a woman for the day, make his way into a woman’s locker room, and then have the feeling of being male and revert back. In Tyson’s world, this is acceptable.
So many left leaning men clearly do not care about women that they claim to protect. I'm a woman. I hate that this is even an appropriate public conversation. Men should protect us from those of you who are criminal. Thank you.
Neil struggling to come up with a fair way to divide people in sports without saying just divide them by sex. When you already have a conclusion so you try and force the evidence to fit it.
@@jimluebke3869 agreed. If you’re spending more time doing tv/podcast appearances than you are working in a laboratory you are by default a representative of intellectual ideals. Not a discoverer of said ideals.
If you start peddling a narrative that isn't backed by empirical evidence, nor biological reality and yet keep telling people you are a scientist...........you are gonna get exposed, and that's what happened here, big time for old Neilly!
He’s a social construct made by the media, the actual man is not nearly as smart as the media has made him out to be. He’s mostly just a political asset.
Honestly I’d question anything he speaks on, even physics. The lack of logic, critical thinking he’s displayed should ensure this guy isn’t taken seriously in anything.
Hey, Neil. Who says makeup is a feminine trait and pumping-iron shirts are masculine? That is the whole point. Nobody can define that for others, only themselves. People can present themselves however they want, but to force themselves to be acknowledged by others for what, by scientific definition, they are not is just absurd. There is nothing wrong with being a trans-woman because that accurately relays truth. There is a problem with being a trans-woman and forcing everyone to acknowledge that you are a woman rather than trans woman. Delusions are a symptom of mental illness.
Thank you! I'm sitting at home without make up, in sweatpants and a tshirt and thinking about how he'd call me non binary because I'm over here sipping my coffee instead of picking my gender for the day.
There is a lot wrong with being a 'trans woman'. There a many reasons why a man would wear women's clothing and none of them are wholesome. I don't respect those whom wear their disgusting fetish out in public.
You had just never noticed that he wasn't credible before... he's always been a blithering idiot.. always acted like he could skip over facts, always throws out odd opinions in a debate, always shills for people who are not being held responsible for their choices of scientific funding, all while he tries to convince everyone of certain points which are obviously unscientific social-engineering talking points...
Neil is a smart guy in astro physics. however i don't need a bachelor of sociology to know BS when I hear it. Neils opinions on social issues are at everyone's level. when it comes to astro physics only a peer can challenge him.... i cannot. but i can certainly challenge him on social issues..... esp when his words don't come out sounding too intelligent on these social issues.
I’ve known him to be a crackpot for at least 5 years now, nothing new. NOT a man of science, a “science communicator” the likes of the Science guy and other half baked looney tunes.
I listened to Neil thoroughly convince me that he is an idiot for the first two or three minutes of this interview. As a Christian, I will pray to God that he recovers his lost mind some day soon.
NDT is _really_ working hard to totally eradicate whatever shreds of scientific credibility he still had remaining. And he's succeeding beyond his wildest expectations.
@@1312Johnny Yeah, NDT always seemed like the type to happily forget all about his scientific integrity for the sake of a quick pay check. As far as I'm concerned NDT is now in the same category as Bill Nye the activist guy.
I would love to hear his mental gymnastics for justifying letting biological males in female prisons, and how he would justify the rapes that have happened because of it
Prisons. Exactly. R* shelters or domestic violence shelters too. Or instances where children are sleeping together overnight. Can he really not grasp this?
My 'favourite' was a girl couldn't have been attacked in that way because there were no males in the girls bathroom. It must have been the girl with a penis then...or the male in a skirt.
"Fix the damn playing field!" We did already by giving women their own sports divisions. The issue that was missing from this debate is that it's not about having opposition to an individual's freedom to express themselves, it's about the trans movement not being content with that freedom but rather also want the world to ignore scientific fact as well. They don't want to be considered to be trans-women they want to be considered exactly as biological women and to take full ownership of all the rights of biological women and to hell with the fact that it means stealing those very rights away from them. "Trans women ARE women" they say. It blows my mind that someone who presents as a public intellectual misses such an obvious point.
Bingo- the solutions to the problem are being overwritten by the idiocy of changing language to suit feelings. Then he presents no solutions while screaming about finding solutions that he’s undermining.
@@16m49x3 indont think they did given that their goal is to probe what their guest thinks. They push back mainly to see what defense the guest is willing to use for their ideas. The spectators can the decide if its a good and sufficient defense or not.
So did he also 'fix the playing field' when he was accused of raping 4 women? Of course he did. The trans movement is just another term for classic misogyny. In this video, Neil is confirming himself as a misogynist
The trans problem is not a civil rights issue. To treat it as such is a massive oversimplification. They are more than welcome to use the same drinking fountain. But when a man wants to fight against a woman or run track against a woman or be alone in the same restrooms as our young girls we need to start drawing some lines.
and why those lines should be about gender or sex? why not simple about wight for example. or height and muscle density in sports. Why a really tall and strong woman shouldn't be able to play in a volleyball team with other men? why a really slender and small men shouldn't be able to participate in high jumping with other similar women? onbce you answer that you understand that if a trans participates in any it doens't matters.
@@rodgar3759 because at the level of elite sports, no woman can compete with any man. It doesn't matter if she's tall or strong *for a woman*, she can't compete with a man. Not at that level.
@rodgar3759 if you believe it's only about weight or height, you're either acting very simple or being very disingenuous. Do you really believe two humans , one male one female who have the same weight/height are would be equal in competitive sports?
@rodgar3759 Here's one reason among many: if women want to have their own sporting leagues they should be able to. No other reasoning needed. If there's a million trans people in this country (well below the 1% claim), they have enough to have their own league too.
9:23 Everything is a monologue for Neil. He expects people to bow to his intellect and not participate- as if he has everything figured out and we should all just accept that he is the biggest brain in the room and nod our heads with each point. He is a fitting icon for the ideological arrogance of modern America.
He didn’t miss that point at all. He is saying the separation needs to be more nuanced, not just be gender and weight, but by more factors such as hormone, puberty age, and more.
@@2403rygar i honestly don't care who wrestles who. Wrestling is 2 men in spandex straddling each other, its a pretty strange event to watch. Not every 120lb man would destroy a 190lb female. I would lose to probably any weight.
@@michael-4k4000 That's why in his first comment he said "dude that wrestles" and "woman that wrestles". Obviously a 120 lb female wrestler would destroy most regular guys with no training in a wrestling match.

Uncomfortable, to see Tyson jumping through hoops to defend an absurd unscientific position. Lost respect for this man of science who, apparently, places more stock in his politics than reality. Sad to see.
I love how NDT simply changes the context of the question (like a biased activist does) when logic and reason interferes with the conclusion his political agenda requires of him. He actually snarls with contempt at the beginning when describing why biological sex and gender is wrong. He's lost his mind!
Makes you wonder what other positions in science he's been schilling for. In areas where the common person doesn't know all the facts, Tyson has wide latitude to spin his "facts."@@FilmFlam-8008
Thanks Tyson. I’ve never been black, but I woke up today feeling 80% black. I now understand all of the persecution that we blacks have felt these past 400 years and I cannot wait until my reparations come. Unite fellow black men, hallelujah!
"I now understand all of the persecution that we blacks have felt these past 400 years" That is an absurd statement by itself. Do you feel all the hardships of your ancestors? The fact people think this is a valid argument is insane.
@@RobotacularRoBob NDT is a delusional, condescending, woke shill. I never said otherwise. Try rereading what I wrote, then maybe you’ll realize how you’ve proven my point.
This is one of the hardest and most ridiculous interviews I have ever seen. There was a time, I held this man in high regard. I have lost all respect for what I once thought was a gifted scientific mind. This man is a clown.
I love how dumbfounded Konstantin and Francis are as Neil makes the most unscientific argument for trans people. It's not about "how you feel". It's about the reality of who you are.
He is right that u do have the freedom to express yourself however u want to. But when he goes further to say that changes to your appearance change your gender he is sooo wrong. Personality is a spectrum gender is not.
Being wrong is bad. But being wrong and trying to stick to that opinion no matter what is the worst. Neil was not even listening to the argument. He was only thinking about refuting and counter arguing. And he didn’t want to admit he was wrong, only trying to prove he’s right no matter what.
This was all rehearsed, he has a narrative he's decided on, has a bunch of hypotheticals he uses and a monologue he uses that probably works with most people most of the time.... and then someone asked him to explain why... and it all collapsed
he lost when he defended puberty blockers for children....so his idea of progressivism includes medical experiments on children to try to prove a future political point in favour of trans people...sorry, but you CANT use children for these experiments because they are not mature to CONSENT
Why should we ‘slice the population’ to fit these trans people’s agenda? This bloke has lost his effing mind. Can’t watch any more of this moron, or I’ll start smashing the house up!

I think it's really interesting how both of you are trying to step beyond your own bias and actually listen to one another... but then it turns out to be a real struggle because you both so much want the other person to see your point.
I agree with both of you.
As it stands, the almost mythical status of trans individuals is making it nearly impossible to criticise their place in society, so there I agree with you.
And I agree with Neil that it is now upon us all to solve these problems moving forward, by leveling the playing field altogether.
Maybe in fifty years we will look back at this and think it's all just as silly as the boys and girls entrance to the school. New solutions will be found.
Thank you for bringing light to this topic and speaking to people with very different views about it.
Neil Tyson is so full of it. Bought and paid by the establishment.
@@hannekezijlmans6578 we did even the playing field when we made women only spaces/sports/shortlists that’s how women got opportunities, it’s men that want to be women that are pushing into these areas causing the problem. Trans women are not the same as women. Pretending so only hurts real women. Have a trans category and let’s see how many trans athletes sign up shall we? If you transition to another sex you are a trans person in a separate class from man and woman if there are actually so many of them it won’t be a waste of time and money to accommodate them in their own spaces/sport/shortlists. That won’t happen because the trans movement has been hijacked by fetishists and perverts and if they can’t spy on or intimidate women then what’s the point.
Is N.D.Tyson a real scientist?...his sense of reason is flawed to F.
I think I can manage without that, thanks all the same.
He’s a man of science right up until science conflicts with his political ideology.
I wonder if he genuinely believes all of this or just desperately wants to avoid getting cancelled so he’s going with the party line
No ideology, just an opportunist who sees which way the wind is blowing.
@@meglukes What exactly do you disagree about with him?
Some days he's only 80% a man of science. Other days he's 80% a women of science 😅
Conflicts with his master’s voice. He’s a slave
A supposed scientist asking “why do you care” is like a doctor asking “why do you want to be healthy”. His ignorance is matched by his arrogance.
The question made me think: "why does any transperson care? Nobody I know gives a damn!" They seem to want attention. Not recognition.
Deepak chopra of science
@@lordgizmor1376 Because the personal is political, being trans isn't just about their junk, or lack thereof, but the ability to force others to accept their worldview as well. It all comes back to Marx and Gramsci eventually, it does with practically every leftist ideology. They just change the names every so often to hide it.
Why does Neil care?
Shouldn't he be shrugging his shoulders going "i dunno, i have no opinion" if he wants to make a "why do you care" argument?
i had an ongoing "debate" with a couple of these parrots who kept coming back to "why do you care" after their accusations of phobia and bigotry did not achieve the desired and expected withering away and dying. i asked chat gp t if that was a reasonable argument - "In a debate, "Why do you care?" is generally not considered a reasonable argument on its own. This response may be perceived as dismissive or evasive rather than addressing the actual points or issues raised during the debate. Debates are meant to be an exchange of ideas and arguments, and simply asking why someone cares does not contribute to the substance of the discussion."
As an astrophysicist, I apologise and am extremely embarrassed on his behalf.
You got to where you are because of merit, not racial diversity quotas
He's reached Bill Nye the Science Guy levels of idiocy.
I like it, whereas normally I'd just have to listen to this annoying blowhard lecture everyone on cosmology and the composition of celestial bodies, now I know that I can walk intellectual circles around the guy regarding basic biology and its relevance in society.
I'll bet I can beat you at arm wrestling too.
That’s considerate, and if it’s a joke, it is funny. The key thing to remember is that being an expert in a field it does not mean that one is naturally right. Because someone is well educated does not mean that they are knowledgeable on the subject. The truth is, Tyson’s arguments, about many things, are suspect. It’s the quality of the argument, not the merit or résumé of a person. Good luck with your astrophysicist endeavors.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 He is making it hard for you to practice your hate, I get it.
One thing I notice about NDT is that he hates being interrupted but he has no problem interrupting people.
He’s so fkn arrogant - never liked him.
As much as i disagreed with him, i dont think neither side interrupted rudely. Both sides just wanted to counter points across a varying discussion.
I do agree however NDT doesnt like it in other discussions ive seen.
NDT is an arrogant blowhard and a terrible human being in many respects.
Neil is a pure example of how politics over rules science

And politics is over ruled by big money.

It is deeply sad to see such a great scientist and science popularizer being so indoctrinated by the woke movement that he can only shit out of his ass.

Truth!
I've lost all faith in my celeb scientists. Neil is woke AF, The late S.Hawking was an Epstein fan. late Carl Sagan on the climate crisis... I used to love these dudes
Comedians has always spoken the truth. They just convey it in a way to make fun of the reality.
Seinfeld only speak of what he sees and understand. Nothing more or less. Ever.
George Carlin is probably the biggest legend of speaking the truth on a level above most people, but still make everyone understand his point with comedian perspective he delivers this.
Someone highlight this comment!
Believe me, there are also comedians who push propaganda and scientists talk facts.
And no-one is smart enough to break down this issue into its actual fundamentals:
The only real objective and reason for any of this to begin with is: some criminal peeping tom and flasher men want to gain access to women's locker rooms to commit the crimes of peeping on those women and indecent exposure of themselves to those women for their sexual gratification. Well, maybe for some of them the objective is purely the criminal financial benefit they gain from cheating in sports.
"Why do you care?!"
He wouldn't dare ask Payton McNabb parents that question. She was a high school volleyball player who was severely injured when a ball spiked by a trans opponent struck her in the face with such force, that it knocked her to the ground and left her with brain damage and paralysis on her right side, which ended her dreams of getting a volleyball college scholarship and has made it difficult to walk without falling.

They are brave to have him on in the first place. He loves to hear himself talk and never shuts up.
They are intellectually superior to him and by staying quiet, sitting back and letting him rant on he exposes his arrogance and belligerent manner, and spurious ideology. It's cringeworthy to watch him self-destruct.

Lysenkoism
Well said.
Bloody Hell! How rude is he? The guy is not stupid but he clearly swallowed the pill of trans ideology. His suggestion that we bend over forwards and backwards to accommodate a few mediocre men in sports is ridiculous. Comparing trans to Jim Crow and racial segregation is very offensive. Neil has been chipping away at his credibility for some time now.
Hard to fall off something you were never on
I’ve got a friend like this, a scientist, who speaks to everyone as if they are too stupid to understand. What he and Tyson lack is common sense and the ability to be challenged without getting angry
I agree zero common sense.
Smugness goes before a fall
Yeah, as someone who is a military history freak, it blows my mind how ignorant he is when he talks about warfare or geopolitics. I have to skip through most of what he says because he beats his points to death thinking that “if only the plebes understood…” We understand, you’re just a dipshit.
It's the way he keeps interrupting and talking over Konstantin. It's obvious he's hoping he can distract from the point being made, or derail to such an extent that he won't have to actually answer the question being asked.
When he is asked a simple question, he witters on providing extraneous, irrelevant details, as if trying to run out the clock. "When I was a kid I did wrestling" , "years ago in kindergarten they made boys and girls use different entrances" blah blah blah ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!
A platform in which people are allowed to disagree and make their point to each other broadens perspective. I had an idiot friend who debates people the exact same way, don't talk to him anymore because it turns into an ego fest.

2. **Katelyn Allers** - She accused Tyson of inappropriate behavior at a 2009 American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting.
3. **Ashley Watson** - She accused Tyson of making inappropriate sexual advances while she worked as his assistant on the show "Cosmos."
4 minutes in and Tyson is unbearable. Kudos to the host for keeping his cool despite the disrespect he is shown from his guest.
I was thinking insufferable, but yes, unbearable as well.
it took me 30 seconds to find NDS unbearable.
The subtle eye rolls as he "forces" himself to let opponent finish his "bigoted" question said it all.
The host give him too much respect, Neil don't realize how much of a dick he looks like when he start talking.
Tyson always does that on shows who don’t agree with him. He acts like he’s a 100% right and the host is a moron
This man has absolutely lost his mind. He refuses to answer the most basic questions, provides nothing but hypotheticals, and frustratedly talks over everyone.
_"Fix the playing field"_ is utterly meaningless. The playing field wasn't broken until men and their supporters like Neil decided to break it. Men's sport won't be affected.
This is pure absurdity.
Yes, there's something surreal about watching this grown man yell about "fixing the playing field", when you realize that what he's talking about is the staggering injustice of . . . women's sports and women's safe spaces. This clown actually believes these spaces are equivalent to Jim Crowe.
He really just stuffed his own foot in his mouth and chowed down like it was finest steak.
"Neil, you're eating a stinking shoe!"
"Fuck you, racist! This is finest tenderloin! When will we fix our BROKEN SOCIETY?"
When he made the comment about worrying more about why there are female quotas, I realized he was incapable of critical thinking.
Kisin: A house is on fire. How would you put the fire out?
Neil: I'm more concerned about how the house caught on fire in the first place.
Good point
Neil cherry picks science as he chooses. Also, gets very heated anytime someone dares to contradict him. What a great embassador for science he is.
You can take the scientist out of the ghetto..

He hasn't always been a fraud. He just happens to be egregiously wrong in this conversation.
Not everyone that has a perspective you disagree with is an idiot. They're either influenced or have a temperament geared towards that perspective. In this case Tyson is influenced by probably a myriad of things
My attitude is exactly as @NotZelda1. It's concerning because Tyson seems to be towing a line that may have severe social consequences
Right
He is just another “hustler” doing his thing, Alexis De Tocqueville journaled this very accurately. In addition, he is just another “idiot” in a planet overflowing with the hard of thinking….
he's a human beings and i'm sure the emotional reaction is frustration at the possible range of solutions to these cultural changes - rather than wanting to go backwards.
Since he turned the debate to racism, a good follow-up question could have been, "so can a person identify as a different race"
Or can we identify as other species?
NO the CONSENSUS in the MEDIA isn't that someone can change his race, so I don't believe that!
His head would've exploded
people have and do identify as a different race.
Ye exactly because if gender can be based on how I present myself. If a man wants to wear makeup and make his jaw look smaller and eyes look more feminine. And be a woman. Why can't someone apply dark tan and makeup to darken or lighten their skin to present as a different race, if they FEEL they identify with another culture more and want to be Asian for example... like plenty white people love Asian culture say. And may dress in the way the trends are popular over there and act a certain way. Like cutesy shy personality and wacky clothes or whatever... they aren't claiming to be Asian they just like that vibe and fashion. Dress however you wanna dress. Look however you wanna look, makeup, surgery, whatever. Don't claim to be something you are not. The social contagion has gone wild.
What a great move to just let Tyson talk.
People need to see how crazy he’s become.
Great job!
It's kind of the other way around though, you have to wait for a 5 second gap where Neil grants you permission to talk.
This is what "turn the other cheek" looks like in real life. It's about staying civilized when your opponent is an asshole.
He is like Ben Shapiro. They way he bombastically over dramatizes his mannerisms and speech patterns makes you think what he is saying has gravitas and depth but it is a baffle because the words he is saying are empty. It is made to make you think he is so confident in what he says. But he can't hide his body language. He is terrible at it. Several points he was visibly shaking. He was trying to explain how enlightened their bathrooms are. He literally just described a bathroom. The problem isn't that there aren't small dividers between stalls mate, its that people can still look and touch over those things.
He really is an ass. He's the public face of modern science - illogical, irrational, emotional, egotistical.
@@simondavis750 Bathrooms have, IMO, always been the 'easy' win which masks the real harm. It is relatively simple to create private spaces in a bathroom, the real issue is the underlying principle of 'women (female) only spaces.' I don't care about bathrooms. I care how you can prove voyeurism and exhibitionism - known sexual crimes committed overwhelming against women - if you have locker rooms, spas, and other spaces where anyone can 'self identify' as a woman and enter.
I am still waiting for someone, anyone, to give me a definition of the word 'woman' that neither relies on biology nor on stereotypes yet still retains enough meaning you could legally classify someone as one. Maybe I'll consider the 'trans women are women' point as possibly valid if anyone could do it.
"Fix the playing field"? Wtf does that even mean? They should have forced him to explain that instead of ending the video.

And it will end up being essentially male groups seperate from female groups, with a small overlap where 110lb flyweight men can compete with 140lb women.
2041 - Only identical twins can compete as that's the only fair competition there is.
Woah woah woah, just a minute! He has "thought about this."
He has always been an actor
It really wouldn't be difficult at all. Create trans categories.
However, of course, you can't, because we all have to play along with the idea that they are not "trans" they are REAL women, and REAL men, and therefore they should compete with the other REAL categories.
Because saying, alright you are a biological male but you want to live your life as a woman, fine by me, is NOT enough. We have to accept them as REAL women or men. That's the crazy part of it all.
Tyson is a gatekeeper for the political establishment. Always has been, always will be.
Neil is utterly unhinged. My respect for him has just transitioned to disrespect, contempt and pity.
I always had mixed feelings about Neil. The guy is clearly a brilliant science communicator. He has an amazing ability to convey complex ideas in science in a way the ordinary person can understand and be engaged. He is also a loudmouth with a giant ego. He can't help but talk over other people which is a character flaw I find highly irritating.
Underrated comment
You're right. Neil is smart but has a big mouth at the same time.@@WondrousMindTrick
Yep. NGT's intellectual mediocrity never ceases to amaze me.
NGT is conflating gender and biological sex when these are two very different things. There are some rare chromosomal anomalies, but for the most part (99.995%), biological sex is binary: male XY and female XX. Changing external genitalia via surgery doesn't change this. A female's fertility cycle, physiology and biochemistry is very complex. Yes, gender is more fluid, and yes that's many associations many of which are cultural. But still gender and biological sex are two very different things.
If I’m honest, I never cared for him. I thought he was a decent science communicator who bought into his own hype. And now he’s still buying into his own hype AND he’s bought into this ideology as well. It’s compounded his own sense of self righteousness.
I'd have to disagree with Dr. Tyson here.
I never comment on anything, but here goes. You guys did a spectacular job, but I really do wish you gave more examples when he asked because there are a ton. Besides sports, bathrooms and Parliament there is also: DV/SA centers, group therapy, AA or sensitive support groups, any type of lesbian group, scholarships, changing rooms, jails, prison, rehab, inpatient, hospital settings, birthing situations, dating apps, friendship apps, sororities, living situations, group homes, it messes up crime statistics, any kind of data collection, medical studies, it clogs up services meant just for women. On and on and on.
Well said 💛
Thanks for the list. I needed that info.
A lot of excellent examples. But I think most of them are covered by Konstantin referring to female only spaces.
Unfortunately, Neil didn’t give them a chance. He just cut them off and continued on
It obviously doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Or does it?
Oh dear ! This is a classic example of how intelligence does not give any protection from stupidity.
Neils "shut up I'm smarter than you!" behaviour has lost him a lot respect IMO.
Imagine Thomas Sowell or John McWorter behaving like that!
Two very smart guys who calmly and simply put points forward and quite rightly gain massive respect in doing so.
NDG can go suck a dick! I lost ALL respect i had for him bro!
Tyson thinks there are perfect solutions, ie fix society. Thomas Sowell thinks there are no perfect solutions, there's only trade offs and he's right! Tyson has an elitist mindset
Contrary... being very intelligent actually makes it easier for you to do mental gymnastics to convince yourself of absurdities.
Knowledge ≠ Intelligence/Logic/Common sense
He’s arrogant and condescending, but that doesn’t make his points wrong so this is just a red herring.
Neil convinced me he was right by shouting.
And by using sweet sounding words like: creative, together and solving 😀

@@lauralee6628That IS actually true!

You can tell Neil never thinks he's wrong. He always thinks is he has the answer to everything and can't ever be wrong. Very telling.
That's a psychopathic trait.
That’s why when he can’t win an argument he turns to insults - like saying that the interviewer is being rude in interrupting, and then making a big deal about it. 😏. He always needs to be on top.
Everything he has ever said is wrong. There isn't a single true statement he has ever made, about anything. Not even physics.
Yes, it is so obvious and frustrating. He acted like that the whole interview
Narcissistic
TYSON: I'm a libertarian and the trans issue has no externalities.
TRIGGERNOMETRY: It has externalities.
TYSON: So let's turn the whole world upside down to address these externalities.
TRIGGERNOMETRY: WTF?!?
Pretty much sums it up for me.
His 'solutions' would requiring changing how the world organizes public restrooms and locker room and such (just as a start). That sounds like a humongous amount of money needed to set things right according to his view. He might know science, but he is NO economist.
100%
It is extremely bizarre how far Tyson goes to twist the facts... sad too
🎉...There are other examples because you don't get the functions,the sensibility ,the strength,the filters and shields your instincts and natural biological body has when you are willing to get a different one.
Having another hole in your body doesn't make it a vagina...if you are a male you aren't even aware of all the movements of a real one...less the feelings and the triggers in your body, thoughts and actions..
You don't have the alarm to be half sleeping hearing everything when you are a mother , neither the "weakness" feeling when you are without your male partner ( while he has the strongest protection feeling of all his life)...that rewards you with comfort and satisfaction when you both are together.There hundreds of other aspects/ functons/ full package thoughts+feelings+physical automatic syndromes that is inherently part of a woman and a man,they are different and complementary.
Special places for women...just because instincts are the strength to keep going on when even our faith and body is scrambling down.
Men should not have to fight their instincts all time as women should not risk to face some few men who don't care about others releasing the danger part of their instincts when they are alone with women undressing.
You will lose a war if your army has just females and the enemy has males.You will loose your civilization if the main daily carers are males and no females as physical strength is not the main force to keep you healthy.
There were children in a hospital in South America,one hundred years ago( scientific data in medical school library), many babies were dying after admission, even when they had the proper treatment...they didn't have their mother or any maternal figure with them.
One male doctor thought the nuns could help,and they did,in less than one month all the babies were eating and getting better with the same medical treatment as before.After that trial, mothers were allowed and prompt to stay in hospital with their children,if they had children at home the nuns would help in the hospital.
You don't feel the same in front of a woman and it's not just a feeling... you don't feel the same in front of a man and it's not just a feeling,.It has consequences in your life and everyone else.
If you need to do anything to reassemble a man or a woman then you are not one because all you need to become one is TIME 🕐.
Trans...so much effort to get the fake spot!
“This conversation will look completely ridiculous “. Sure does Neil. You sure do.
One day Neil will look back at this interview and be like wtf was i doing
He originally went along with the gender madness because he was scared of being cancelled, and now he's just too scared to admit that he's ever been wrong about something.
He has always been a fraud

I really think he just cares about others and has a lot of empathy. He has talked about that a lot.
@@LiamDaLemon He sure doesn't seem to care much about women, nor does he display any empathy for women.
This is what happens when you believe your degrees make you smarter than what you really are. This man has lost his mind.
Rather, he thinks his PhD in astrophysics makes him an expert in other subjects due to his rational scientist's mind. He's not the only expert like that.
Totally a buffoon
He's just offering his opinion, and he's correct.
JCRosario, you hit the right on. NDT is show the world that he is a over confident reprobate, and that he is. Without shame but very proud
I just reached a new height of respect for Konstantin and Francis watching this. The patience and respect they are able to show dealing with this pompous, self-important and overblown piece of pop media "smart man" Tyson is awe-inspiring. They show how healthy communication should be across the mid if we want a better future for all of us. Much to his shame, but not unexpectedly, Tyson doesn't show the same level of intellect and empathy.
...and yes, I do know that pompous and self-important is sort of the same thing, but for this man, I felt a strong need to cement the statement.
He embarrassed America by acting like a child. It’s funny how they said virtually nothing and the whole time he was defensive and throwing his arms around as if no one could understand his towering intellect. The cherry on top was his ending statements about how people act stupid and if they only understood him the world would work perfectly. Talk about echo chamber arrogance.
perfect response
They turned the other cheek while he pointed his finger & pissed in their ears. It was an excellent real-life depiction of a debate with a socialist.
You are right. No rebuttal from them could do as much damage to his own argument as he did.
I scrolled down just a bit and CTRL-F'ed the word "pompous" and was going to be very disappointed if there was nothing found. Thank you for not letting me down. lol
Neil, for some reason, is trying to defend the indefensible, and his reputation is going down in flames. Sad.
I'm so sick of people who want to pretend that the bathroom issue isn't important. Years ago,before all this controversy,I had a female friend who was raped in a gender neutral bathroom. To hear a scientist talk this way is very disturbing. I'll never again be able to take anything that man says seriously. He is so afraid of being cancelled What a coward!
He has always been an actor
Yeah, similar to Howard stern. He was probably told to fall in line or else they will come after him.
He's not scared of being cancelled, he's legitimately brainwashed by the agenda.
"Solution is simple. Fix the underlying problem behind rape" --Tyson
its horrible that horror was visited upon your friend but the gender neutraul bathroom was not the key component in that crime. incidentally i dont agree with NDT on this subject. my point is Evil people will do Evil things regardless of which Gender they wish to Identify with.
Masterclass on how to discredit yourself as a scientist.

You can't embrace transgenderism without abandoning the no harm principle. Freedom of expression must be tempered by others' freedom from repression.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hell, you can identify as toad and it's no ones business, but when you ask others to believe in your own delusion and change their own lives and morality to fit yours, then your delusion can no longer should be tolerated. Your delusion must be cured or you must be removed from civil society.
Which is why the division will remain, the trans radicals want all or nothing, or you are a transhomosogynistphobeemicist
Acceptance of gender expression is not on the table to them unless it includes changing the scientific literature,ediucation,law,justice,medical practices and funding, and the right to suppress other's rights with their own radicalisation.
Why didnt they i ask him can any1 identify as black?
@@armondtanzvalid point; any differences between ethnicities is much less than between male/female … yet one is deemed valid the other is not 🤷♂️
I never thought I was smarter than Neil degrasse Tyson until today… Thank you Neil..
Oh he's smart alright, a least smart enough to fool himself. His problem is his vanity and his lack of humility.
be patient: in '92, Falcone, the most important Italian judge, was blown up with 1 ton of TNT. the mafia could have killed him with 2 gunshots a week earlier outside Sicily where he was not super protected. this created such a sensation that the state had to create special laws and prisons. the underbosses asked the mafia boss "why? it will be our end" and he said "they asked me". Who asked him to do it and why remains a mystery he took to his grave. now I have the same feeling: Who is asking the scientist to defend these unscientific and indefensible ideas? why is he spending all his credibility?
I just burst out laughing. Love this comment. 😂 Neil has lost it
you aren't. you are just a feminist
Don't worry. You're not.
"Fix the playing field," I assume, means fix the rules and divisions or categories within the sport, for a few who's belief of their individuality now outweighs the rules of the sport. This gives rise to the problem of the playing field not being constant across the board and then it becomes unfair play rather than sport, competition and athleticism. Let them have their own category while keeping the playing field constant.
Ok so you want to suppress people's involvement instead of trying to accommodate their freedom? The reality is that society is rapidly changing and more and more people will come out with their freedom of expression as we become more accepting of them (like what happened with homosexuality and gay marriage laws). Transgenderism and homosexuality is a fact of social phenomena, and if we suppress their freedom, how can we ever cross the barrier of segregation and bigotry? The solution is to have weight classes, not further divide. What is the point of being called the land of the free if we continue with these polarizing outdated thoughts?
Nope. It’s trans people who want to prohibit girls’ and women’s freedoms, and our involvement in athletics. Why trash all women’s sports from grade school to college; college scholarships; Olympic opportunities; and women’s privacy and safety so that men in dresses can play on the easier team for them? It’s absurd to push women and girls around like this.

I don't think so. I think he's genuine. He just does not understand what the argument is actually about. He's approaching things from his perspective not realising that his perspective is not shared by anyone else.

That's why "science" refers to things as theory.
Neil is too intelligent for this conversation
'Sorry I wasn't finished' Love it!! NDT is usually the one taking all the space in a conversation. It's good to see him humbled.
Or, if wea accept men and women are different, are blacks and whites?
@@Aspartame69 Different matter entirely. Even in different species of creatures, even in plants, there are male and female and there are differences. The differences between ethnicities is insignificant in comparison.
I doubt he was actually humbled, but he should have been.
But if you take the idea of women and men and then if... just wait, I can explain let me finish let me finish. The thing is I am a scientist and if you take into account a society and the thing you have to take into account is that I'm right.
Well if you rank people IQ across ethnicities or regions, you’d maybe be surprised to know that it isn’t an equal distribution.
So clearly IQ is racist.
Tyson is very rude. So a little 5 year old girl has to go into the same communal bathroom as a 60 year old man?! NO! Bad policy is being created based on bad "science"
It was my understanding he was talking about changing facilities and not bathrooms, wash rooms or toilets.
My question is this, who sends their 5 year old into the toilet alone?
Yeah, I totally fail to see how having separate stools in the same communal bathrooms solved anything. What happened to the urinals? Do guys now have to queue for ages to go for a piss because of this 'solution'?
I'm not really sure what it is but it is certainly not "SCIENCE".
@@LowlyEidolonwho would send a 5 year old into a bathroom alone?

According to Tyson’s words, a man can wake up feeling female, choose to be a woman for the day, make his way into a woman’s locker room, and then have the feeling of being male and revert back. In Tyson’s world, this is acceptable.
It's a scary place.
How did personality and style get confused with gender?
He's one of them, the establishment. Put in place by higher ups...
So many left leaning men clearly do not care about women that they claim to protect. I'm a woman. I hate that this is even an appropriate public conversation. Men should protect us from those of you who are criminal. Thank you.

He’s a social construct made by the media, the actual man is not nearly as smart as the media has made him out to be. He’s mostly just a political asset.
You right. This was the interview that finally made him dead to me. Just spouting nonsense at this point to protect idk what
I love when scientists make cultural and social arguments and pass them off as objectively true scientific facts
Honestly I’d question anything he speaks on, even physics. The lack of logic, critical thinking he’s displayed should ensure this guy isn’t taken seriously in anything.
@@SquidFox9 I agree. Over the years he has cared more about his celebrity status over all else.
Hey, Neil. Who says makeup is a feminine trait and pumping-iron shirts are masculine? That is the whole point. Nobody can define that for others, only themselves. People can present themselves however they want, but to force themselves to be acknowledged by others for what, by scientific definition, they are not is just absurd. There is nothing wrong with being a trans-woman because that accurately relays truth. There is a problem with being a trans-woman and forcing everyone to acknowledge that you are a woman rather than trans woman. Delusions are a symptom of mental illness.

"Fix the damn playing field!" We did already by giving women their own sports divisions. The issue that was missing from this debate is that it's not about having opposition to an individual's freedom to express themselves, it's about the trans movement not being content with that freedom but rather also want the world to ignore scientific fact as well. They don't want to be considered to be trans-women they want to be considered exactly as biological women and to take full ownership of all the rights of biological women and to hell with the fact that it means stealing those very rights away from them. "Trans women ARE women" they say. It blows my mind that someone who presents as a public intellectual misses such an obvious point.

The trans problem is not a civil rights issue. To treat it as such is a massive oversimplification. They are more than welcome to use the same drinking fountain. But when a man wants to fight against a woman or run track against a woman or be alone in the same restrooms as our young girls we need to start drawing some lines.
and why those lines should be about gender or sex? why not simple about wight for example. or height and muscle density in sports. Why a really tall and strong woman shouldn't be able to play in a volleyball team with other men? why a really slender and small men shouldn't be able to participate in high jumping with other similar women? onbce you answer that you understand that if a trans participates in any it doens't matters.
@@rodgar3759 because at the level of elite sports, no woman can compete with any man. It doesn't matter if she's tall or strong *for a woman*, she can't compete with a man. Not at that level.

@rodgar3759 Here's one reason among many: if women want to have their own sporting leagues they should be able to. No other reasoning needed. If there's a million trans people in this country (well below the 1% claim), they have enough to have their own league too.

Thanks Tyson. I’ve never been black, but I woke up today feeling 80% black. I now understand all of the persecution that we blacks have felt these past 400 years and I cannot wait until my reparations come. Unite fellow black men, hallelujah!
I've just spit my tea out 🤣
"I now understand all of the persecution that we blacks have felt these past 400 years" That is an absurd statement by itself. Do you feel all the hardships of your ancestors? The fact people think this is a valid argument is insane.
@@thomgizzizyou need help.
@@thomgizzizya, you obviously don't understand.
@@thomgizzizpoor reading comprehension
Imagine being as smart as Neil thinks he is.
Ha ha!
It’s quite tiresome, because you have to deal with morons all the time
@@bobsmith5185imagine think NDT is smart and not a shill. Imagine thinking disagreeing with him makes a person a moron.
@@bobsmith5185Remember, if everyone's a moron, it may be you who is the moron.
@@RobotacularRoBob NDT is a delusional, condescending, woke shill. I never said otherwise. Try rereading what I wrote, then maybe you’ll realize how you’ve proven my point.
“This conversation will look completely ridiculous.”
I hate to break it to you, Neil, but you’ve accomplished that already
👍
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 😂
" Fit or not it and I ( Neil De A$$ Tyson) will look totally ridiculous in this conversation"
That is literally what he is saying Sean
This is one of the hardest and most ridiculous interviews I have ever seen. There was a time, I held this man in high regard. I have lost all respect for what I once thought was a gifted scientific mind. This man is a clown.
Everyone has a price. 2024 and a scientist arguing about gender as spectrum. 🤷🏻♂️
I love how dumbfounded Konstantin and Francis are as Neil makes the most unscientific argument for trans people. It's not about "how you feel". It's about the reality of who you are.
He is right that u do have the freedom to express yourself however u want to. But when he goes further to say that changes to your appearance change your gender he is sooo wrong. Personality is a spectrum gender is not.
@@blutamis7697 completely agree
FF and KK must be practised at keeping a neutral expression on their faces ..... my jaw near hit the floor!
Is Francis swigging tea so he can laugh into it?
No no no- gender is determined entirely by fashion choice (makeup, skirt, muscle shirt), according to Neil. Trust the science!!
I have news for Tyson, this conversation ALREADY looks ridiculous and it’s because of him.
In about 20 more years this conversation is going to look morbidly embarrassing for him..
Being wrong is bad. But being wrong and trying to stick to that opinion no matter what is the worst. Neil was not even listening to the argument. He was only thinking about refuting and counter arguing. And he didn’t want to admit he was wrong, only trying to prove he’s right no matter what.
This was all rehearsed, he has a narrative he's decided on, has a bunch of hypotheticals he uses and a monologue he uses that probably works with most people most of the time.... and then someone asked him to explain why... and it all collapsed
he lost when he defended puberty blockers for children....so his idea of progressivism includes medical experiments on children to try to prove a future political point in favour of trans people...sorry, but you CANT use children for these experiments because they are not mature to CONSENT
People like him are made for politics. When they're wrong & the writing is on the wall they coalesce a new wall.
This is NDT 101. He is a human narration robot. 🤖
Why should we ‘slice the population’ to fit these trans people’s agenda? This bloke has lost his effing mind.
Can’t watch any more of this moron, or I’ll start smashing the house up!
