    “I wasn’t prepared to have a Supreme Court argument today”
    This sentence really says a lot about how other interviewers have treated her. She sees asking “what doctors recommend the policy you’ve enacted” as an unfairly high bar to have to meet in an interview, but it should be the norm.

    One of the greatest things about Jon is that he doesn't just let the people he interviews slide on their BS. He calls them out and holds them accountable. That is what is missing from the media today. A willingness to say "No, you're wrong. Your data is not data, and there is just truth and facts, and you are doing neither." I love that about him.

    There is something my dad (a seasoned litigator) taught me from a very young age. Something Jon exemplifies right here. It's the idea that you are not obligated to take someone at their word. And the idea that if someone is going to present something with confidence, they should know how to back it with confidence. The great thing about telling the truth is that you can also say where you get your truth from. I love that Jon is so good at this.

      Comparing gender confusion to cancer is kind of a terrible way to argue a point though. They are in no way the same thing or on the same level. I love Jon Stewart, but this was a weak arguing point. Jon even helped me personally when he fought for the pact act recently, but I still don't thing he's got a very good argument on this point. I don't support the mutilation of children, physical or hormonal. The human brain isn't fully developed until around age 25. This lady is trying to prevent children from mutilating themselves who may later change their minds. If you're confused about your gender you for sure shouldn't be making decisions that permanently affect your health and wellbeing for the rest of your life. Once someone is an adult they then have the freedom to go on hormones or get whatever surgery they want. I support the prevention of child genital mutilation.

      @@nh251 Why is it a terrible comparison? Kids can't have surgery until they are over 18. Before 18, we are ALL on hormones. That's where we get breasts and beards and periods and deeper voices from. Some people are just on the wrong hormones. And it is somewhat reversible. After puberty, some trans women will have to have surgery in adulthood if their voices are too deep, so the deep voice is not reversible for some, but is for others. I've had cancer and I have friends who are trans. Cancer is a cakewalk in comparison, and people bring you casseroles.

      ​@@theresa7328 Slight addendum here: the surgeries for voice aren't always effective, or have as good results as the patient might like. Honestly, it's all the more reason to make puberty blockers more accessible because puberty is permanent.
      Those who argue "wait for adulthood" are leaving out the fact that the changes puberty inflicts are also permanent! We can't unwiden hips, we can't reliably undeepen voices. Breast removal costs thousands of dollars. We could prevent all of this, and cheaply too. But these people don't care, because they don't understand us and don't want to understand us. They are confident they know the truth, but their ignorance is obvious the minute they open their mouths.

      It's unfortunately an interviewing style that burns bridges. You get to have a few interviews where people are grilled, but then the next person you attempt to interview says, "We saw that last one, we don't want that to happen to us." But your reputation or your organization's reputation follows you.
      In general in an interview you have to let people spew their bullshit allowing the person to feel like they got something out the interview and hope that the audience can form their own thoughts about the ideas, maybe framing the piece with a meta narrative, talking and informing the viewer with real informed statistics and the interview is only part of the story.
      Interviews are done the way they are to let the interview prove their ideas are dumb by saying them out loud. The standard styles exist because they're repeatable.
      ** Edit to clarify. I agree with Jon's point of view, AG of Arkansas is clearly cherry picking and being a weasel to pass whatever she already believed and wanted to pass. This response was only related to the style of combative interviews vs let them say bullshit.

That number is now higher in 2023, and those numbers are only those that health insurance paid for. It does not account for out of pocket surgeries.
      2) Associated press: June 2022. Talks about how a leading transgender health association lowered the age for minors to 15 to have surgery.
      3) Article talks about the fact that puberty blockers have unknown risks and are still to this day, not FDA approved, and have no actual measurements of how much or for how long. Plus, there is a potential increase in osteoporosis because bone loss density, loss of bone growth, cancer, and infertility, and worst still, unknown neurological effects that only take place during natural puberty years.

      first of all his interview style is extremely hostile and he never really considered that the other side do have some valid concerns. Other countries like Sweden and the UK are beginning to realize that most of the rapid onset gender dysphasia in Teenage girls are cases of psychogenic contagion. Sweden has put a complete stop on treatment for trans minors and the UK has closed the only dedicated gender identity clinic for children and young people. 1000 lawsuits is filed against them.
      It’s not a health professional job to confirmed patients self diagnosis or identity. Self reporting is a part of it of cause but now it’s required by law some places.
      Older studies (real large population studies) has indicated that 80% settles into their gender from birth if left alone. And a large portion of those actually turn up gay.

      @@Pants4096 I have. Fact is that part of growing up is the formulation of identity. It’s an ongoing exploration. If a 12 year old boy feels like a girl that is highly unlikely to be permanent. He may feel like a boy again at 13 and a girl again at 14. Who knows? And hormone blockers are not a mere pause button, they are a permanent derailment of natural biological development. And you don’t do something like that if the gender dysphoric condition is in flux. It’s like slamming the brakes on a fast-moving train and expecting it to stay on the tracks. Then there’s the actual surgery, even worse, which forever changes reproduction potential. The consequences of making a mistake are catastrophic. Have you seen interviews with those who have tried to de-transition? Have you seen the number of suicides? It’s one horror story after another. It’s a life-changing, permanent decision that cannot be treated lightly. Therefore, if a fully grown adult truly feels that transitioning is the right move… so be it. But it is quite literally impossible for children, with still-developing minds and bodies, to competently make that decision. And this was all abundantly obvious and understood until basically yesterday. Why? Money. It’s a booming industry. Do your homework on this.

      @@CharityApple07 You are not getting the whole story here, which is very frustrating. The WPATH, AAP, and the Endocrine Society (along with the other profesional bodies advocating for these interventions) have not conducted systematic reviews on the topic of pediatric gender medicine to back their recommendations. The countries that have (Finland, Sweden, and the UK) have concluded that the risk factors for these interventions remain largely unknown and are not being systematically reported. These reviews have also highlight the lack of data collection when it comes to patient outcomes, including rates of detransition and regret.
      These are not fringe and/or right wing political groups expressing concerns.
      Are you familiar with what happened in what was once the world’s largest pediatric gender clinic? The NHS commissioned an independent review following a 4000% increase in referrals to the clinic (i.e., the Tavistock’s GIDS) and in light of the concerns of several whistleblowers. The whistleblowers’ concerns regarding the managing of the clinic and its “affirmative model” (rushed assessments, lack of data collection, lack of safeguards, diagnostic overshadowing) were then corroborated by an independent panel of experts. Further, the review’s interim report (which also bases its information on two systematic reviews on pediatric gender affirmation) concluded that there is at the moment no way for professionals and clinicians to distinguish which patients will benefit from these interventions versus those who will not.
      Bear in mind the crucial fact that the original Dutch study (which introduced the use of blockers for the treatment of GD), used a very small and selective sample of minors without any preexisting MH comorbidities and whose Sx began prior to the onset of puberty. These sample is not at all representative of many of the patients currently being prescribed PB. Not only that, the Cass interim report also asserts that the benefits of these interventions remain uncertain even for patients whose profile closely resembles the Dutch cohort (i.e., childhood onset, no coexisting psychopathology). The NHS no longer prescribes PB outside of clinical research settings.
      Why do you think people do not hear about this part of the story? After all, this pertains to the NHS and to what used to be the largest pediatric gender clinic.

Yet, if you focus on be empirical evidence you will realize that these interventions do not meet the criteria for evidence based medicine.

      Strawman. Have you ever considered she is actually acting in bad faith and that her actions as a politician are theater?
      We cannot justify the harms of sterilizing, stunting, or mutilating children to treat feelings. 300 citations on the harms of puberty blockers at lesbians united.
      Furthermore, we’ve always known that affirming delusion exacerbates it, and the countries that have performed literature reviews, have already STOPPED doing this to children. Meanwhile our AMA refuses to perform a lit review.
      This is addition to WPATH recent exposure for collaborating with Eunuch Archives on their Trans Standard of Care doc, even though EA posts erotica on their site, with authors content including child bdsm & forced child castration. Wpath indicated eunuch was a gender role… What is the performance of eunuch role? Historically they were SA class of people exploited by elites… Receipts with Genevieve Gluck Substack & at Reduxx.
      There is published literature showing the removal of reproductive organs from 16 year olds, and mastectomies on 13 year olds. Medicalization of variance in personality is occurring in the classroom, one hospital video leaked with claims the fetus knows it’s gender role performance, another in Cali educating on this topic is indicating that a baby unsnapping a onsie is making a dress, rather than say… discovering a snap function. Many states are keeping the child’s synthetic sex identity a secret from parents. My own school board refuses to engage the topic. An arcus funded grift. Jennifer Bilek 11th hour blog tracks the top down funding conflicts of interest. Two states allow the early treatment & priming for these surgeries & drugs behind parents backs. In Canada a father lost custody of his child for fighting the state in court to NOT sterilize her, & was jailed for refusing to collude with the sterilization of his child.
      Heartbreaking accounts from desisters.
      Meanwhile MOST of these comments are shadow banned. Lmao. Grandiosity always depends on censoring a narrative. I was banned from reddit for trying to warn youth there of the massive TOP DOWN funding of this astroturfed social movement that RELIES on CENSORSHIP. Paypal bans small orgs before they can even start up to fight for our own children’s safety from this criminal corporate syndicate of Mengele Mutilators & their colluding Munchausen Censorship Cult.
      So Jon is a bad faith actor, ignoring what he’s likely already found and relying on strawman. These kids are being LIED to, given wrong sex hormones with many irreversible side effects, and told it’s possible to change sex when these procedures have a high complication rate & will NOT change sex. A drugged and mutilated male, is still a male. Children are not pharma fodder or little cash cows for the Biotech market that builds a synthetic sex id Niche.
      Jon knows there is massive censorship. Just as we all do… The truth doesn’t require this much assistance. I cannot even get a shirt made that doesn’t say anything about T, rather it says “Children are not born the wrong gender role” (it’s a performance no?), and “Affirming Delusion is medical malfeasance”.
      This conversion malfeasance is consuming young autists, LGB, and mentally ill, and Jon does not see their lives worth protecting, same for ignoring desister’s own testimonies.
      THAT is the context where these organizations understand the low benefit to high risk analysis, and intentionally refuses to perform a lit review. Financial conflicts of interest… Jon knew that in the Opioid crisis but “forgot” that was possible with this.
      If that’s worth saying to you knowing full well my reply will likely be scrubbed from anyone else’s view. Know that we will never willingly sacrifice our children to this criminal enterprise and it is absolutely a hill I will die on.

      @@skumflum3768 certainly there can be medical "fads" where over prescription of medicine or treatments will be over done. The way over prescription of Ritalin and other amphetamine salts during the 1990s for example, and the over prescription of opioids. More than anything this stems from financial kickbacks doctors receive for prescribing as much as possible. This is solely a problem in the structure of our Healthcare systems. And do doctors make the wrong choices sometimes? Absolutely. But to say there is an epidemic of children being pressured into treatments that they choose to do and later regret is a lie. They are the exception and not the rule. But this minority is used as a tool to push the ultimately religious agenda to do away completely with a young persons access to important care. On the political level they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater, when, as Jon says, these decisions are solely between children and their doctors. The science is in, doing away with all treatment until adulthood will do far more damage than the minority that jump the gun being confused teenagers. But again, the confused child or teenagers business is not the states business.
      Why aren't they passing the same laws to prohibit circumcision? Circumcision is genital mutilation that children don't agree to and is put upon them. Many of which come to regret, and claim to have their sex lives ruined by the procedure. But MOST don't. I myself wasn't circumcised till I was 6. It was horrible, don't regret it one bit! But if I did regret it and you can certainly find "experts" to speak out against it, does that give the state the right to ban the practice all together until you turn 18? Or does circumcision have special protection having Judeu-christian roots?
      No, people will kid themselves that it's "to protect the children!", but the motivation is religious. And these people haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about. You can tell they've never knowingly met a single passing trans person in their lives! They make it obvious when they pass incredibly stupid things like "bathroom bills"! 😂 do you realize what extreme uproar there will be by these fearful bigots when fully bearded manly people, born female, start walking into women's bathrooms looking more like men than their own husbands. And how many fully passing females, born men, with a rack larger than your mothers will be taking a dump next to you!? It becomes so obvious, all these people know of these other humans lives is fed to them through the sick mouth of their pastors, and conservative talking heads.
      Its not about the children...
      Over 10,000 children die A DAY, due to easily preventable causes world wide. But no, the real tragedy is a few money grubbing doctors going along with a confused kids wishes, and later on regretting it. Boo hoo, let's just make it all illegal!!! As for kids who it saves?

      @@curtisowen3233 There is much to discuss in this context. It is evident that individuals, including politicians, may be driven by personal motives and religious beliefs. However, the only viable approach to organizing our society is through the exercise of free speech. Freedom of speech is not a mere philosophical notion; instead, it is a crucial instrument for preserving the cohesion and stability of our thoughts and societies. Currently, there is a trend towards restricting the questioning of transgender ideology, which itself is an ideology, resulting in conflicts.
      Regarding the medical facts, there are no long-term studies available on the effects of puberty blockers in transgender adolescents. While there have been studies on hormones, they are not without significant and potentially permanent side effects.
      It is worth noting the existence of psychogenic contagions, which have a documented history spanning 400 years. Several recent examples include the Satanic daycare ritual panic in the 1980s, as well as the spread of cutting and bulimia among white teenage girls in schools.
      Considering the statistics on rapid-onset gender dysphoria, there has been a 1500% increase, primarily among white teenage girls. As teenage girls have historically been most susceptible to psychogenic contagion, this could be a plausible explanation.
      Research, as previously mentioned, shows that 80% of individuals experiencing gender dysphoria eventually desist without intervention, which is why Sweden has ceased medical treatment for minors. This topic undoubtedly warrants further discussion.
      It is not fair to label people as hypocritical for prioritizing this issue over the deaths of thousands of children due to other causes. Human nature does not allow us to empathize equally with every issue. As Stalin allegedly remarked, "One death is a tragedy, but a million is just a statistic."

    When she referred to this very straightforward interview as a "Supreme Court" argument, I couldn't help but momentarily flash to Jon in a robe alongside Samuel Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas, etc. quashing their hollow arguments. The kind of elevated thinking and reasoned approach he brings to this is outstanding. This woman isn't even in the stadium with him. She's at a tailgate party in the parking lot unaware whose playing or perhaps even what the sport is.

      When she said that, I actually said out loud "You knew who you were gonna be doing the interview with!" He ain't just funny jokes. He took on the US Senate and WON.

      Lady is so used to everyone around her agreeing with her that she wasn’t prepared for anyone to disagree!
