Mood dysregulation. It's Borderline Personality Disorder, and to expand their bottom lines, these predatorial "doctors" are now trying to convince autistic people to escape their social anxiety and identity confusions with massive amounts of hormones.
I don't know much about Korea, but I'm part Japanese and it's not uncommon for Westerners who live in Japan to begin dressing Japanese, changing their name to a Japanese name, etc., and most Japanese people are fine with that. Surgery is quite something else, though, I've never seen anyone do that!
@@BlueSparkshine the way I see it: while he was very ill, because he was a fully formed adult already (and not psychotic) he was able to conceive of the lifelong consequences of undergoing that procedure. He understood, at least to some extent, how dire and irreversible it is. He also had enough self awareness to say, _hmm, every time I undergo some change or procedure, I'm happy for a fleeting moment, then I get unhappy again. This procedure will probably be like that too._ The brains of people under the age of about 25 are not fully developed. What's the last cognitive ability to develop fully? Cause and effect. Consequences of one's actions, especially long-term. Our mental model of the future 5, 10, 20+ years down the line. The people marketing these surgeries to 18-24 year olds are fully aware of this. They are fully aware that they are selling long-term disability to physically healthy young people... and I hope there is hell to pay. Soon.
Exactly...if a person can identify as an animal of a clown and if people can identify as the opposite gender, then why not another race? At least Oli was honest to say it out loud. Thousands of people take plastic surgery to look like someone else, or better than their natural self. It's true what Oli says of Asian people, they do go for surgeries to look Western!! Parents even gift surgeries to their kids over there! Therefore anyone criticizing Oli for wanting this is hypocritical.
@@cloverflower2820 the "identifying as other races, objects" or whatever js absurd, yes, but being transgender is not, since there is scientific proof that people can be born with the opposite sex's brain structure, therefore they feel real heavy discomfort in their bodies. But, it's always only male and female, not crazy genders like pangender, or skoliogender and stuff like that. Those, yes, are just bs. I believe some people just hate their role in society as a man or a woman, or maybe don't fit the social criteria for their gender at birth, so they 'identify' as something else.
@Samantha Whang Kids and even adults enjoy things that are meant for the "opposite gender", all the times, yet that doesn't change their gender. What makes people transition is the dysphoria they have, which is a strong, unbereable discomfort towards their parts. Don't know what you've read, but scientists studied trans brains and found out the brain of a trans person is "way more similar" to the brain of their opposite sex/ the gender they know they are, and it doesn't really matter if they didn't study 1000 of them. They at least were able to give us an explenation. I don't really care how to call this or what causes this (I mean, I do care, but that's not what I'm talking about now). The point is that some people have dysphoria and it's a real thing, not an illusion, and if they don't go through HRT they might unalive themselves (I know from personal experience.) Therefore trans people exist and pretending they don't exist is just, stupid and nonsense. Also I call them male and female's brain, (not men and women's) for a reason. I know what biological sex is (if it didn't exist, just like some crazy people say, trans people wouldn't exist either) So my point is just, trans people (ftms and mtfs) are real as hell, always have been, since they have always existed. Now if you were able to find a concrete reason on why they exist, I'd be really glad to hear it. I'd love if you also found a way to cure dysphoria definetly. Like, I'd genuinely want to know if there's any way to do that Also don't know where you've read the criminality thing, and I'd like to read it too, but that's just funny. What causes more violence is anger right? (aside from being a bad person or just having a rough past) Testosterone makes you angrier. That's why men are more likely to commit crimes. But once a trans woman has transitioned, she's got more estrogens jn her body and is less angry (everything I'm saying varies from person to person of course). If anything you could say that their past play a big role on how they turn out, but that again wouldn't have anything to do with their gender
@Oblivion PTX what scientific proof that there is a female or a male brain structure. If that was the case then we could proof if somebody is transgender. But there is no such thing. We can't proof. That's why the professionals use gender affirming care. Everybody is selfidentifying if he or she wants to become the opposite gender legally.
the fact that almost not one talks about Oli's change of heart, after publicly talking about him for years, just shows you how the mainstream media and social platform try to hide any pushback... I'm really proud of Oli he's really grounded and educated now
" I'm really proud of Oli he's really grounded and educated now" What if he is still just a bottom feeder, and you are licking his balls for no good reason?
I just found out about a month ago . I didn’t realize he even became a trans female and now is going against all the bullshit he use to be sucked into . No one is really talking about it but it’s so interesting to hear him now
Oli was the last person I expected to see on this channel. What a powerful interview and massive educational experience. When he first announced he was "trans-racial" I figured he was a victim of the self-validation echo-chamber that social media which he fully admits. Full credit to him in coming to this realization and his bravery to talk about it. I wish him well for the future and hope he does more to help further victims of social media.
Who woulda thunk you can't be trans-racial, huh? I'm going to transition to a dog seeing as that millions of years ago we share common DNA and it's just forcing itself out of me lol. Freaking insance people, what a joke!
Yes, it's good when someone admits something they did wrong, which might help other people (especially kids) who've been thinking about doing something drastic and irreversible.
@@kirstenmadsen2628 brave ha yea I could have gave him the same look in a ally in Chicago with him saying a few wrong words and he doesn't look Korean he looks like a pimple faced Karen
Actually no one but trolls have been telling him this was amazing. The BTS Army dislike him because of what he was doing and told him many times to stop and to love himself as he is and not try to be someone else. Because it started with him wanting to look like BTS jimin.
I'm a Thai gay guy. We are famous about ladyboys & gender transition since before social media but Thai people never support kids to surgery or let LGBT+ to grooming kids at school. We are only teaching kids to overcome difficulties and bully is wrong. That's it all we do. But what I can see in Western media is keeping remind LGBT+ kids that they are the victim, tell them that they are "Beautiful" no matter what they wanna be and the different opinions are toxic. This is only making more hate and wrong message about the meaning of "beautiful" when it should be about "goodness". The worse part is Thai people are starting to be woke and think the same because of social media and this is really worrying me. They are like disease that keep spreading.
This is the most sincere and lucid I think I have ever seen Oli. Made some really valid points and seems a lot more self aware than before which is great
The picture they showed of him without all the surgery...he looked handsome and just normal. He didn't need all that plastic surgery. All he needed was some good self-esteem boost.
Honestly, this is one of those sparks of hope this year has given us. There is hope. Sucks this person went off the rails but to come back down with more nuance and understanding about what was wrong with all that is astounding. Credit where credit is due
Or who has always been, inside. This is the fallacy of our current culture. It seems so elementary, so obvious, that we can’t change the problems on the inside, from the outside.
@@twn5858 he is admitting he made a mistake, publicly, showing his face, which is quite obviously, damaged for life. You don’t think people might connect the dots? I personally respect his effort to try to correct some of the damage.
@@outsidethepyramid I think when people have more time to ruminate, they will. Humans are neurotic by nature, and without a healthy outlet, of course this kind of thing would happen.
Mad respect for Oli. Great interview- who would've known I really like the genuine Oli London. He seems like a gentle and insightful human- beautiful on the inside where it truly does count💖✨
Exactly. If we stop giving this insanity attention people are less likely to engage Notice there is only regret once he was no longer in the lime light
It’s astounding how someone who has done such crazy things can speak so sensibly now: maybe a reminder that we should never write people off, no matter how misguided their actions, but also that even people capable of inhabiting the realm of reality and common sense are still vulnerable to indoctrination and cult-like manipulation.
@@kezzokav5905 I agree some people WILL do anything for fame, but do you really get the impression that that was this guy’s primary motivation? I thought so when I first heard reference to “a British guy who transitioned to be a Korean woman”, but listening to him explain, it seems more likely he was just very deluded.
@@nf6386 No hate to him but honestly, I find it hard to believe that he 'identified' as Korean for several years without any mention of being trans, had a completely different persona and articulation level and then all of a sudden, the toxic trans ideology made him realise he's not Korean, not trans and he can miraculously articulate himself quite well now. I think he always knew he wasn't Korean but milked it for the shock factor with appearances on Dr. Phil, Truly, etc. Then he used the toxic trans ideology as a means to escape the 'Korean identification' box which he had firmly placed himself into. And in the process, capitalised on that but we all gotta money somehow, so I won't begrudge him for that. I prefer this version of him significantly more.
@@kezzokav5905 well maybe, I really can’t be sure myself, just prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt in assuming they’re telling the truth, unless it’s obviously not the case.
I was one of those who thought Ollie was crazy, and I guess in a way, he was. It is wonderful that he has come to terms with his real self and is speaking out. I hope more podcasters will have him on to tell his story. It shows that if adults can be sucked into the fantasies, what chance do children have. God bless him.
I was there rolling my eyes when Oli was trying so hard to be Korean. I didn't even know he had transitioned to be a woman, only to be nb. I'm so incredibly happy to have found this, even back then, Oli didn't seem like a bad person, just perhaps a lost one, with different ideas. I respect him for being so open and not running, for staying and admitting his faults and staying true to his changing values. I wish him all the best
MY QUESTION IS! Why aren't people attacking the very large section of Korean people having surgeries to look white? Why do they get a pass? None of them are saying it was a "mistake">
The start of this video I was thinking "who is this idiot"? By the end, I had utter respect for this man. So glad I watched it all. Stay sane Oli......and thank you for being genuinely brave.
No. If you look at how it REALLY started and how people especially the fans of the pop star who he was trying to look like. Told him to stop trying to be someone else and LOVE HIMSELF. Regardless of how many people told him to stop he kept going. And his hole thing oh i saw all the ads. Im quite sure he still lived in the uk at that time when he started. Im happy he has stopped now but he isn't telling the hole truth to seem like a better person than he is and that i dont respect. Cause he started off where u didn't know if he was serious to where we all knew he is attention seeking because he didn't even know who the leader was of this group that this popstar jimin is apart of that he claimed to be obsessed with.
@@itzjia_6005 and he had a mental illness. Hardly anyone was kind towards him, he was the laughing stock of the town. someone who has anorexia and body dysmorphia, when someone tells them they are too skinny or too thin that actually makes them happy and fuels them to keep starving themselves. It gives them a thrill. And when someone calls them fat or chubby it makes them determined to continue to starve them self. Mental illness is a ruthless cycle and taking on criticism is difficult to take for someone who’s thinking processes are errored.
I worry for a whole group of people that made huge mistakes they can't take back. It will be very shocking and sad. Shame on the healthcare industry for not treating mental health before cutting the body.
Sorry ,but as a philosophy lover I couldn't resist commenting on your post. Full enlightenment mode is exactly what put him in his immense struggles with ideas and self perceptions. He is actually discovering the intelligible philosophical mode of meaningful being not scientistic postmodernism that denies purpose and meaning. I know you didn't intend that by the way but philosophical lostness is the sign of our age. And we act it out.
I've met Ollie in real life and regardless of his discussion, past, aesthetics- he's a genuinely lovely and authentic person. Obviously very smart and a great Soul. Brilliant interview ❤
yeas not good at all and is age he is 37 years old he looks like a 65 years old grandfather of plastics of plastic sthe shit that gets me is why would you mutilate your face to troll people Oli, she's lying to Korean and his screen with the Filipino flagout slang in the Philippine language. So now he's fetishising Filipino women and not Korean men stop Please leave my Korean 1
I have a LOT of respect for this guy. Say what you want about appearances, past behaviours etc. but it takes a real man to have the humility to face up to this and spread the right message.
I'm shocked how normal he actually seems like and it is so strange how someone can fall into rabbit hole so easy. I'm glad that you found Jesus and sanity Olie
@@angeleye4253 What’s wrong with that? He accepts his (biological) sex, found God and does whatever he wants without hurting others or hurting himself, without losing his sanity.
What a circumspect, compassionate, articulate, self-aware young man. I am very impressed with how well-informed he has become on the topics you discussed. Always amazing to see/hear from someone who has learned from their mistakes and gained wisdom. I wish you the best, Oli!
Yes, his moral compass seems to be set correctly and the desire to not set a bad example for others to follow in future is admirable. I hope he keeps on calling out the sexualisation of children issue...that is more shocking and important than his trans-racial story IMO.
Circumspect and compassionate 🤣🤣🤣 His latest transition is to an alt right born again Christian. He - and I swear I'm not making this up - livestreamed himself 'praying' in church, starting off telling his audience " I'm just in church again praying .." As you do🙄 Oh and he was praying for "the haters" apparently.
@@rebeccapenders5050 I don't think he means well - conflict and drama are his lifeblood.. I think he's got some sort of narcissistic personality disorder and just needs constant attention. He constantly trolls people then plays the victim. The problem is we give people like this attention, if we just ignored them they'd have no reason to continue this nonsense
It’s funny, I always thought he was just completely batshit crazy but when he explained the context it makes perfect sense and anyone in the same situation could have gone down the same route. He’s clearly very intelligent and rational. And you can actually tell he’s so much more comfortable with himself and happier. Fascinating interview.
I'm impressed by him. As a person with many inner struggles my heart goes out to him becauseI understand the hell it can be. I'm glad he's in a better place where he can accept himself for who he is ❤️
Im glad he is doing better now. However in the beginning he was a huge attention seeker. He gained views off trying to look like BTS member jimin and claimed to be obsessed with this group yet didn't even know who the leader is which is such common knowledge. The fandom was calling him out, many even told him to love himself and to stop trying to look like jimin. Only later on when trying to get him to stop didn't work did people start "supporting" him ans that was just trolls cause no one thought he actually seriously believed this stuff anymore. Everyone thought he was just doing it for attention. One of his friends even said once that he had admitted to her that he was just doing it for attention and actually didn't like this kpop group at all. Honestly i think hes realised that the left is no longer giving him attention and now is trying to get attention from the other side of the political isle. Or with the lack of attention online he realised it was dumb and that he fucked up his life and is just unwilling to admit he was just doing it for attention at least at the beginning he most certainly was.
i am 40 years old and have never had as many identity crisis' as this guy has had within the span of a year. that he can hold a new perspective so radically opposed to his previous perspective with such certainty makes it hard for me to believe that he is now suddenly of sound mind. If a mind can change so quickly, and is capable of believing things so uncritically, it indicates to me that he may very well fall into other salvation traps along the way in effort to escape himself. But i sincerely wish him peace and wellness.
Because it isn’t true, he clearly just wanted attention and the only way to keep getting it was by going further and further. He’s botched now probably wouldn’t have went this route if all was going well.
Don’t underestimate the power of sitting in church and listening to Gad. To reading the Bible and realizing that maybe you are exactly the way you’re supposed to be.
It happened to me in 2012 when researching history and politics and I completely changed my world view and perspective. So much of history is propaganda. Whoever said the Victor's write the history books is absolutely true
So much respect and love for Oli. Truly a redemption arc. So happy he’s found salvation from church and I hope our brothers and sisters in Christ will continue to welcome him with open arms and not judgment. ❤
@@Obatala_Vibez he was brave to publicly admit he was wrong on so many levels. That took balls. What needs to stop is people trying to police the speech/word choices of others expressing their own opinions.
How very brave of this man to speak publicly about these issues in his life. I have great respect for his candour on such difficult times, and I wish him a happy, healthy and good future.
I used to really dislike him and I would never have thought that I would change my mind about him, but he seems a really nice guy who realised he made a mistake. Good for him.
This is the only way we will understand this phenomenon by listening to people like Oli London who is brave enough to talk about it and who is very articulate.
What a lovely, brave and self aware man. I'm sorry to hear that he felt so bad about his appearance that he went to these measures. I'm glad that he's turned a corner and I hope he finds self acceptance and self love. Thank you for this interview.
Funny when talking about pronouns, Oli went from addressing Dylan Mulvaney as "she" to "they." Even after the host corrected him, Oli wouldn't use "he/him" pronouns. Oli still has a way to go.
Genuinely surprised to hear Oli London on Triggernometry! I didn't expect him to be so well articulate to be honest. Park Jimin, the Korean singer he was trying to look like (also the guy on my pfp) is one of my favorite artists so I'm a bit familiar with Oli London's trajectory. He was a great subject of mockery in kpop fandoms - which is quite a world of itself by the way, much to say about... The first time I heard about him, I obviously found him wacky, extremely cringy but as annoying and cringy as he was I always felt bad for the way people were mocking and insulting him constantly because it was oh so obvious he was struggling a lot mentally. And the backlash he faced after his "coming out as Korean" (I honestly thought he was trolling at the time..) was indeed quite hypocritical coming from the same woke mob who claim you can be x, y, z gender or God knows what. I'm no expert about South Korea but his vision of the country and its people does not seem really accurate though. Anyway, I just hope he's sincere now and feeling better.
Its funny because these same types act incensed at B.Free for his few comments against BTS members yet they come in droves to harrass B.Free and cant see the hypocrisy and imbalance of their behaviour. The same for Oli. His accounts are FULL of awful comments not to mention the videos RUclipsrs make running him down. It's not like a few people he could handle. They're bullying him en-masse. They dont stop even when someone apologises. They cry over someone like Jonghyun committing suicide but treat someone like Oli as fodder to abuse to their own pleasure.
@@DarkAngel2512 Exactly. Bullying is a massive problem in kpop fandoms. And the bigger the fandom, the worst the bullying, obviously . A lot of fans just can't accept any tiny bit of criticism, they have this typical victim mentality that makes them extremely sensitive, and overreacting for the sake of "protecting" their idols. And in the case of BTS, it's even more ironic considering they've teamed up with Unicef in the past on anti-bullying campaign... Those fans just don't care much about the message behind the music and what the artists say unfortunately.
@@vivit.8326 even when I've said I dislike an artist's singing, dancing or rapping etc, the onslaught was insane. I stopped going to the concerts and listening to the music for a bit just because I couldnt stand being around the fans. You cannot have an opinion with Kpop fans. One even said on one forum she was at a house party playing BTS and her friend said she didnt like them, said they were crap or something and the first girl said she shouldnt speak badly about them even behind closed doors as its disrespectful and hurtful to BTS even if BTS arent there to hear it. These guys are extreme and lack balance.
@@DarkAngel2512 I didn't want to dive into kpop in the first place partially because of the bad reputation of its fandoms... still decided to give it a go and well, it was even worst than I expected lmao so I'm not surprised. I don't let it interfere with my love for the artists but I completely understand people who just don't want to get involved at all anymore!
Respect for Oli for admiting it was a mistake and speaking up honestly about the cause of why young people are being encouraged to make these life changing decisions.
This is seriously one of the best interviews you've done so far. Truly fascinating stuff. And massive respect for this guy not only for owning his past mistakes but also for coming to be such an eloquent and sensible adult. If he can go through such a jorney towards a more sane and fulfilled life, there's still hope for society.
I remember over 20 years ago when I realized that no matter how much I exercised, dressed better or groomed better, I would never be taller... And I had to learn to accept and eventually love myself for just being a bit shorter.
I hated being tall when I was a kid - kids just want to be average and fit in - I used to think that they could remove 2 inches from my femur and 2 inches from my tibia/fibia ---- kid's minds are so plastic and undeveloped - they'll believe almost any sort of brainwashing - thankfully what I was thinking was not available and now I'm happily 6 feet four and stand tall (not arrogantly) ----- brainwashing kids in this war on reality is truly insidious --- we're all equal but we're not all the same -- that's just a fact.
Oli, you are absolutely fantastic! My respect is yours! I know you might not see my message, but I was brought up in Japan. I cannot tell you how many times I thought that all my problems would go away if I was Japanese. It seems you found your peace of mind. Respect! I am your newest follower.
I have disliked Oli “online” (as I’ve never met them in person), for a long time. The attention seeking, plastic surgery glorification, and then becoming “trans-racial” created a lot of divisions in the global kpop community. However, Oli makes an incredible point: “why can’t I look like a Korean, when Koreans are trying to look western?” That question spoke volumes to me. As someone who’s been listening to kpop since 2010, this has been a LONG GOING issue with Kpop artists. Tons of plastic surgery, and extreme weight loss are more than prevalent amongst artists. If you follow kpop artists for long enough, you WILL get some sort of mental illness or insecurity from it. I’m glad that Oli has recognized their own behaviors and has come out about them honestly. I’d love to see this side of them more on RUclips. We shall see.
There are many Asians with natural double eyelids and high nose bridges so him not realising that shows how he’s still stereotyping all Asians as he always had. Koreans aren’t trying to look white, they are still proud to be Korean and aren’t claiming to be white like he tried to claim being Korean. The look they go for may seem more westernised but it’s not at all the same thing as trying to look completely white. They have their own unique beauty standards there and while it may lean toward a more mixed look, it’s still very much Asian and all their models are still Asian, not white.
It's good that people who have been 'that person' are coming out and talking about it. Hopefully it reaches others who are where he has been and saves them from themselves before they ruin their faces, bodies, or whatever.
45:05 - The attachment of sexualizing children to Queer Theory and Critical Theory goes BEYOND some of the founders wanting to have sex with teens and kids. They actually promote it as a way of creating radicals. They think that introducing children to mature and heavy concepts and experiences (like racism, sex, kinks, masturbation, porn, climate/doomsday alarmism, victimhood, etc.) is a way of galvanizing them, destroying their innocence, emancipating them from their parents, and turning them into like shocktroopers for their causes. It's not just "grooming" kids with the goal of molesting or raping them... it's molesting and sexualizing kids as a form of cult grooming.
I can’t lie as soon as he referenced the addiction to surgery and identity crisis. I immediately thought of Jessica that used to be the ‘human Ken doll’. Thank God my tattoo/metal phase didn’t go as far as it could. I feel so sorry for people when they don’t have the right grounding and they’re just trying to ‘find’ themselves
I am glad that you had Oli on. I always wanted to hear someone have a proper conversation with Oli and hear why and what Oli was going through and the thought process.
I could have never imagined the Oli I saw in social media these past years was this level headed person. Glad you made it out before things got out of hand. Wishing you peace and happiness for the future.
This story honestly just makes me sad. To take the search for love and validation so far as to hurt and scar yourself is gut wrenching. I'm happy Oli is turning things around and actually using his experience to warn and help others. Cheers.
Wow, I saw a video from him a year or two ago and it seemed insane, but I am positively surprised what a real and sensible guy he has become! Good luck Oli, keep fighting the good fight man! Right on.
Oh wowzer. Congrats on beating the addiction Oli! Takes great strength, honestly. We all have our different issues to overcome, and it's always inspiring to see it.
Very interesting, honest , likeable and humble guest ..shocking at times to hear what goes on in certain circles. Like the way KK and FF interviewed him and he wasn’t reactive at all …so despite the subject matter, an enjoyable interview.
"why did you want to be korean?" "what made you fall in love with their culture?" this is the same for gender btw. its a love, and admiration, a desire to be like them and be seen or treated like them. just like race, just like ethnicity, we grow feelings about this throughout life. most people healthily integrate their race into themselves even if they sometimes dont like the way theyre treated or seen based on it. some people struggle more. some people cant shake their race from their heads, think everyone is judging them or seeing them differently through the lens of their race, and to some extent thats true, some people will do that, but most people wont. some people with these struggles may even envy another race and wish to be them. wish to be a cool rapper, wish to be a pretty kpop boy, wish to be white to escape being seen as "other". this is the EXACT same for sex. some people have issues, some people have envy (based on biased perceptions), some people heal from these struggles, some dont-- and if all of society is going to play into your fantasy you have no incentive to heal. the wound stays open while living in a delusion.
like, listen to him, he says korean people are nice and kind (not all are, this is a clear bias), he says that he found their culture beautiful, he said he was captivated by all of it (a fantasy). even in his story there was probably an underlying factor, which is falling in love with kpop boys sexually and romantically as many girls and boys do. but even if thats the foundation (as agp is the foundation for many mtf males) thats not all of it. its loving the entire culture, everything about it, its idolization, agp men do this same thing with women, and they will bolster at the claim that their desire to be women is founded in a sexual origin, because it doesnt FEEL that way... it feels like everything feels right about the opposite sex, their culture, theyre all kind, the way you want to look etc. but its all fantasy. in the exact same way. because not all women are nice, not all women are beautiful, and a man's perspctive on female culture will always be from a perspective that didnt have to grow up female with those expectations being place on him.
Just because you have a sexual fetish, a paraphillia about being a woman, it doesn't make you a woman, no matter what you do to your body or what costume you wear. It does however, make you an autogynephille. A sexual fetish and magical lady feels does not and will never make you female.
He did not want to be a Korean woman. He was obsessed with Kpop and he was gay. I'm grateful he's being honest with himself now and he's gotten past his plastic surgery addiction.
@Adopt-a-Pet because people get a lot of backlash when say they say regret transitioning or they have stopped believing other woke concepts and ideologies. Especially if you top that with religion aswell which is also becoming shunned by western society. The fact the he is brave enough to make this public despite scrutiny especially a platform as big as his speaks volumes.
I am female and if my brain was somehow forcibly transplanted into a male body, I would simply learn to accept that body and not try to deform and destroy it. These destructive surgeries are horrifying.
exactly. How the hell can you be "in" the wrong body. You ARE your body. If you feel like you are in the wrong body, there is something wrong with your perceptions, not your body.
@@delta-9969 that's a fundamental issue that I hardly ever see anybody address: this idea that somehow body and soul are completely separate. That your body is ultimately nothing more than a vessel for you soul, and that only your soul constitutes your identity. That's really not self-evident. It's Gnosticism. It's a spiritual assertion that droves of people just accept without thinking twice. And the woke left (or however else you want to summarize it) isn't consistent about it either, because as soon as we're talking about race, your body IS suddenly a huge part of your identity again. Heck to some of these people it seems to be the primary defining factor of who they are and who they're gonna associate with.
@@delta-9969 They can't be. The dysphoria people feel is a mental illness. They are in their right body and always were. Intensive therapy to accept this rather than life altering, irreversible surgeries is needed.
Oli is pretty well informed about what's going on in the world, I can't believe that someone who was recently caught up in this ideology is so well informed, and so quickly realized what someone else needs years for...
I have to say I was very worried when I first saw Oli identifying as a Korean woman. I thought I've seen it all now and the world has gone insane. But this story has a beautiful ending and I really admire Oli for his honesty and courage. And God bless what you're doing Oli because what you're doing is so valuable. Keep speaking for our children that are being hunted by sexual predators and medical psychopaths that want to destroy their little bodies for money.
"But this story has a beautiful ending and I really admire Oli for his honesty and courage." You are wrong. He is still grifting. He hasn't learned a damned thing. He is still the same needy loser that he was when he thought surgery could actually make him Korean. He realised that wasn't working for him (to get him the attention he craves), so he came up with a new angle. And shame on you for feeding his ego. You are not helping him by being 'nice', you are enabling him. Helping him to hurt himself etc.
We need to get past this notion that surgery is an optional thing, like leather seats or air conditioning. Cutting is an assault on the body. Just because we aren't conscious of the pain, doesn't mean the body doesn't feel attacked.
I had so much surgery in 2018-2020 for health issues. It is a whole violation to your vessel. I felt so violated every time, and kept it completely to myself. I appreciate your comment. Never saw someone say this
Oli said it correctly. There is a lot of money involved in these transition processes and included surgeries. As long as there is money involved it won’t stop… Edit: btw there are people who identify as a person of a different age than what they are..
I didn't realize this was Oli London while you guys were talking about the interview last week. I commend you both for considering him. A fantastic interview, well done and important.

This was essentially just the low T liver King puplic apology grift.
Perfect interview boys. And huge respect for this guy, that had to be hard to admit to himself - all of that.
Mood dysregulation. It's Borderline Personality Disorder, and to expand their bottom lines, these predatorial "doctors" are now trying to convince autistic people to escape their social anxiety and identity confusions with massive amounts of hormones.
I don't know much about Korea, but I'm part Japanese and it's not uncommon for Westerners who live in Japan to begin dressing Japanese, changing their name to a Japanese name, etc., and most Japanese people are fine with that.
Surgery is quite something else, though, I've never seen anyone do that!
Lot of respect for anyone who can publicly admit a mistake.
Here's hoping Oli can accept himself and grow.
I am genuinely impressed. Of all the wacky internet personalities, I would NOT have picked Oli to come out the other side.
Definitely. This took a lot of balls!
@@Anne_Onymous its a good thing he kept them!
Yep, he's a sodomite.
@@BlueSparkshine the way I see it: while he was very ill, because he was a fully formed adult already (and not psychotic) he was able to conceive of the lifelong consequences of undergoing that procedure. He understood, at least to some extent, how dire and irreversible it is. He also had enough self awareness to say, _hmm, every time I undergo some change or procedure, I'm happy for a fleeting moment, then I get unhappy again. This procedure will probably be like that too._
The brains of people under the age of about 25 are not fully developed. What's the last cognitive ability to develop fully? Cause and effect. Consequences of one's actions, especially long-term. Our mental model of the future 5, 10, 20+ years down the line. The people marketing these surgeries to 18-24 year olds are fully aware of this. They are fully aware that they are selling long-term disability to physically healthy young people... and I hope there is hell to pay. Soon.
Oli is extremely rare in the sense that someone so far down that rabbit hole is able to come back, congrats and good luck to him.
I'm genuinely impressed
Thank God fr
His face ain't coming back though
Yeah holy moly I’m happy for him
They usually go to their grave with a mind full of confusions frustrations and regrets.
"Why can't I be Korean?", actually a reasonable question, given everything else going on in the world right now.
Because hes not lol Being "trans racial" isn't a thing because race I's made up.
Exactly...if a person can identify as an animal of a clown and if people can identify as the opposite gender, then why not another race? At least Oli was honest to say it out loud. Thousands of people take plastic surgery to look like someone else, or better than their natural self. It's true what Oli says of Asian people, they do go for surgeries to look Western!! Parents even gift surgeries to their kids over there! Therefore anyone criticizing Oli for wanting this is hypocritical.
@@cloverflower2820 the "identifying as other races, objects" or whatever js absurd, yes, but being transgender is not, since there is scientific proof that people can be born with the opposite sex's brain structure, therefore they feel real heavy discomfort in their bodies. But, it's always only male and female, not crazy genders like pangender, or skoliogender and stuff like that. Those, yes, are just bs.
I believe some people just hate their role in society as a man or a woman, or maybe don't fit the social criteria for their gender at birth, so they 'identify' as something else.
@Samantha Whang Kids and even adults enjoy things that are meant for the "opposite gender", all the times, yet that doesn't change their gender. What makes people transition is the dysphoria they have, which is a strong, unbereable discomfort towards their parts.
Don't know what you've read, but scientists studied trans brains and found out the brain of a trans person is "way more similar" to the brain of their opposite sex/ the gender they know they are, and it doesn't really matter if they didn't study 1000 of them. They at least were able to give us an explenation. I don't really care how to call this or what causes this (I mean, I do care, but that's not what I'm talking about now). The point is that some people have dysphoria and it's a real thing, not an illusion, and if they don't go through HRT they might unalive themselves (I know from personal experience.) Therefore trans people exist and pretending they don't exist is just, stupid and nonsense.
Also I call them male and female's brain, (not men and women's) for a reason.
I know what biological sex is (if it didn't exist, just like some crazy people say, trans people wouldn't exist either)
So my point is just, trans people (ftms and mtfs) are real as hell, always have been, since they have always existed.
Now if you were able to find a concrete reason on why they exist, I'd be really glad to hear it. I'd love if you also found a way to cure dysphoria definetly. Like, I'd genuinely want to know if there's any way to do that
Also don't know where you've read the criminality thing, and I'd like to read it too, but that's just funny. What causes more violence is anger right? (aside from being a bad person or just having a rough past) Testosterone makes you angrier. That's why men are more likely to commit crimes. But once a trans woman has transitioned, she's got more estrogens jn her body and is less angry (everything I'm saying varies from person to person of course). If anything you could say that their past play a big role on how they turn out, but that again wouldn't have anything to do with their gender
@Oblivion PTX what scientific proof that there is a female or a male brain structure.
If that was the case then we could proof if somebody is transgender.
But there is no such thing.
We can't proof.
That's why the professionals use gender affirming care.
Everybody is selfidentifying if he or she wants to become the opposite gender legally.
the fact that almost not one talks about Oli's change of heart, after publicly talking about him for years, just shows you how the mainstream media and social platform try to hide any pushback... I'm really proud of Oli he's really grounded and educated now
" I'm really proud of Oli he's really grounded and educated now"
What if he is still just a bottom feeder, and you are licking his balls for no good reason?
@@zalamael show me evidence of that and I'll tell you if it changed my mind
So….he just loves the Color pink and snuggling with teddy bears?.
I just found out about a month ago . I didn’t realize he even became a trans female and now is going against all the bullshit he use to be sucked into . No one is really talking about it but it’s so interesting to hear him now
he is still doingt he same things he did before....
Wow Oli has clearly gotten therapy and grown as a person. So happy to see it.
well now he influenced more idiots to do the same so i dont rly forgive him
Nice to see him in a better place speaking out for the greater good 👍
Oli was the last person I expected to see on this channel. What a powerful interview and massive educational experience. When he first announced he was "trans-racial" I figured he was a victim of the self-validation echo-chamber that social media which he fully admits. Full credit to him in coming to this realization and his bravery to talk about it. I wish him well for the future and hope he does more to help further victims of social media.
Yes a very brave young man
Who woulda thunk you can't be trans-racial, huh? I'm going to transition to a dog seeing as that millions of years ago we share common DNA and it's just forcing itself out of me lol. Freaking insance people, what a joke!
Yes, it's good when someone admits something they did wrong, which might help other people (especially kids) who've been thinking about doing something drastic and irreversible.
@@kirstenmadsen2628 brave ha yea I could have gave him the same look in a ally in Chicago with him saying a few wrong words and he doesn't look Korean he looks like a pimple faced Karen
Actually no one but trolls have been telling him this was amazing. The BTS Army dislike him because of what he was doing and told him many times to stop and to love himself as he is and not try to be someone else. Because it started with him wanting to look like BTS jimin.
I'm a Thai gay guy. We are famous about ladyboys & gender transition since before social media but Thai people never support kids to surgery or let LGBT+ to grooming kids at school. We are only teaching kids to overcome difficulties and bully is wrong. That's it all we do. But what I can see in Western media is keeping remind LGBT+ kids that they are the victim, tell them that they are "Beautiful" no matter what they wanna be and the different opinions are toxic. This is only making more hate and wrong message about the meaning of "beautiful" when it should be about "goodness". The worse part is Thai people are starting to be woke and think the same because of social media and this is really worrying me. They are like disease that keep spreading.
There was that famous case where the British woman flew her 16 year old son to Thailand to be castrated, so don't give us that!
I did a thai (female) once it was unpleasant. She smelled of noodels
I would love a trig episode on what happens in Thailand.

@@chernobylcoleslaw6698 send it to the SNP now!
This is the most sincere and lucid I think I have ever seen Oli. Made some really valid points and seems a lot more self aware than before which is great
Were you born this morning hon?
The picture they showed of him without all the surgery...he looked handsome and just normal. He didn't need all that plastic surgery. All he needed was some good self-esteem boost.
I know, right? He wasn't ugly really at all.
Honestly, this is one of those sparks of hope this year has given us. There is hope. Sucks this person went off the rails but to come back down with more nuance and understanding about what was wrong with all that is astounding. Credit where credit is due
same here
Gee yersel a shake ya fud
He seems like such a lovely person. Glad to see he’s accepting & loving himself for who he is now.
Yep, he looks like a cyborg now. Great role model for the sheep out there.
Looks aren’t what’s important
Or who has always been, inside. This is the fallacy of our current culture. It seems so elementary, so obvious, that we can’t change the problems on the inside, from the outside.
@@BlueEyes499 you nailed it. That is it, in a nutshell.
@@twn5858 he is admitting he made a mistake, publicly, showing his face, which is quite obviously, damaged for life. You don’t think people might connect the dots? I personally respect his effort to try to correct some of the damage.
Insanity has increased due to social media and identity politics.
Perfectly stated
You mean due to psyops?
Spot on
has Insanity really increased? We really don't have the stats.
Social media and identity politics has become the focal point of insanity.
@@outsidethepyramid I think when people have more time to ruminate, they will. Humans are neurotic by nature, and without a healthy outlet, of course this kind of thing would happen.
I'm so proud of Oli learning from his mistakes
It’s such a problem that our society reinforces people’s delusions
Mad respect for Oli. Great interview- who would've known I really like the genuine Oli London. He seems like a gentle and insightful human- beautiful on the inside where it truly does count💖✨
Attention is one hell of a drug
100%
This made me laugh a little too hard
🎯
The attention from becoming trans racial dried up so he's turned to detransitioning and right wing media for a boatload of new attention.
Exactly. If we stop giving this insanity attention people are less likely to engage
Notice there is only regret once he was no longer in the lime light
It’s astounding how someone who has done such crazy things can speak so sensibly now: maybe a reminder that we should never write people off, no matter how misguided their actions, but also that even people capable of inhabiting the realm of reality and common sense are still vulnerable to indoctrination and cult-like manipulation.
Or a reminder that people will say and do anything for fame.
@@kezzokav5905 I agree some people WILL do anything for fame, but do you really get the impression that that was this guy’s primary motivation? I thought so when I first heard reference to “a British guy who transitioned to be a Korean woman”, but listening to him explain, it seems more likely he was just very deluded.
Tiktok needs to be banned. It's a big problem with this stuff and kids
@@nf6386 No hate to him but honestly, I find it hard to believe that he 'identified' as Korean for several years without any mention of being trans, had a completely different persona and articulation level and then all of a sudden, the toxic trans ideology made him realise he's not Korean, not trans and he can miraculously articulate himself quite well now. I think he always knew he wasn't Korean but milked it for the shock factor with appearances on Dr. Phil, Truly, etc. Then he used the toxic trans ideology as a means to escape the 'Korean identification' box which he had firmly placed himself into. And in the process, capitalised on that but we all gotta money somehow, so I won't begrudge him for that. I prefer this version of him significantly more.
@@kezzokav5905 well maybe, I really can’t be sure myself, just prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt in assuming they’re telling the truth, unless it’s obviously not the case.
Oli legitimately looks happy now. There's a genuine depth to his smile.
Nah, he is just loving the attention.
Really??? Very hurting individual.
I was one of those who thought Ollie was crazy, and I guess in a way, he was.
It is wonderful that he has come to terms with his real self and is speaking out.
I hope more podcasters will have him on to tell his story.
It shows that if adults can be sucked into the fantasies, what chance do children have.
God bless him.
I would not expect this in a million years. That's worthy of massive respect.
I was there rolling my eyes when Oli was trying so hard to be Korean. I didn't even know he had transitioned to be a woman, only to be nb. I'm so incredibly happy to have found this, even back then, Oli didn't seem like a bad person, just perhaps a lost one, with different ideas. I respect him for being so open and not running, for staying and admitting his faults and staying true to his changing values. I wish him all the best
MY QUESTION IS! Why aren't people attacking the very large section of Korean people having surgeries to look white? Why do they get a pass? None of them are saying it was a "mistake">
i think it’s because he tried to also be “transracial”, i dont think the people in korea are trying to transition into being white
The start of this video I was thinking "who is this idiot"? By the end, I had utter respect for this man. So glad I watched it all. Stay sane Oli......and thank you for being genuinely brave.
I had the same impression, it was like watching someone completely pissed sobering up...
@@quotejoss I have no idea what "Gtfo" means Joss....but I hope you have a lovely Christmas...x
@@TaraConti Really? Goodness.....ah well....
No. If you look at how it REALLY started and how people especially the fans of the pop star who he was trying to look like. Told him to stop trying to be someone else and LOVE HIMSELF. Regardless of how many people told him to stop he kept going. And his hole thing oh i saw all the ads. Im quite sure he still lived in the uk at that time when he started.
Im happy he has stopped now but he isn't telling the hole truth to seem like a better person than he is and that i dont respect. Cause he started off where u didn't know if he was serious to where we all knew he is attention seeking because he didn't even know who the leader was of this group that this popstar jimin is apart of that he claimed to be obsessed with.
@@itzjia_6005 and he had a mental illness. Hardly anyone was kind towards him, he was the laughing stock of the town. someone who has anorexia and body dysmorphia, when someone tells them they are too skinny or too thin that actually makes them happy and fuels them to keep starving themselves. It gives them a thrill. And when someone calls them fat or chubby it makes them determined to continue to starve them self. Mental illness is a ruthless cycle and taking on criticism is difficult to take for someone who’s thinking processes are errored.
I worry for a whole group of people that made huge mistakes they can't take back. It will be very shocking and sad. Shame on the healthcare industry for not treating mental health before cutting the body.
Oli's honesty and transparency is incredible. He seems like a very sweet person and it sounds like he's done a lot of introspective healing.
Wow, Oli realized something wasn’t right and went FULL enlightenment mode.
Sorry ,but as a philosophy lover I couldn't resist commenting on your post. Full enlightenment mode is exactly what put him in his immense struggles with ideas and self perceptions. He is actually discovering the intelligible philosophical mode of meaningful being not scientistic postmodernism that denies purpose and meaning. I know you didn't intend that by the way but philosophical lostness is the sign of our age. And we act it out.
Admitting something has become heroic in this age.
Telling the truth is seen as bad
And being ordinary - which most people are - is seen as bad and boring.
@@Willowtree82 I hate ricers... That's my truth lol

I have a LOT of respect for this guy. Say what you want about appearances, past behaviours etc. but it takes a real man to have the humility to face up to this and spread the right message.
I remember seeing him a few years ago. Massive respect for being able to stand up and say he made a mistake.
I'm shocked how normal he actually seems like and it is so strange how someone can fall into rabbit hole so easy. I'm glad that you found Jesus and sanity Olie
So he found Jesus…loves pink and still wears makeup. The whole vid shows how much he is hurting. Normal???
@@angeleye4253 What’s wrong with that? He accepts his (biological) sex, found God and does whatever he wants without hurting others or hurting himself, without losing his sanity.
What a circumspect, compassionate, articulate, self-aware young man. I am very impressed with how well-informed he has become on the topics you discussed. Always amazing to see/hear from someone who has learned from their mistakes and gained wisdom. I wish you the best, Oli!
Yes, his moral compass seems to be set correctly and the desire to not set a bad example for others to follow in future is admirable. I hope he keeps on calling out the sexualisation of children issue...that is more shocking and important than his trans-racial story IMO.
Circumspect and compassionate 🤣🤣🤣
His latest transition is to an alt right born again Christian.
He - and I swear I'm not making this up - livestreamed himself 'praying' in church, starting off telling his audience " I'm just in church again praying .."
As you do🙄
Oh and he was praying for "the haters" apparently.
@@willsmith39 He certainly has some issues, but I like to think most people mean well. Time will tell, perhaps.
@@rebeccapenders5050 I don't think he means well - conflict and drama are his lifeblood.. I think he's got some sort of narcissistic personality disorder and just needs constant attention. He constantly trolls people then plays the victim. The problem is we give people like this attention, if we just ignored them they'd have no reason to continue this nonsense
Im so impressed by Ollie here: fortright, highly intelligent, to the point, and immensely brave. A big round of applause for you Sir!Bravo!
It’s funny, I always thought he was just completely batshit crazy but when he explained the context it makes perfect sense and anyone in the same situation could have gone down the same route. He’s clearly very intelligent and rational. And you can actually tell he’s so much more comfortable with himself and happier. Fascinating interview.
I'm so happy to see Oli in this better mindset. Good on him.
I'm impressed by him. As a person with many inner struggles my heart goes out to him becauseI understand the hell it can be.
I'm glad he's in a better place where he can accept himself for who he is ❤️
Im glad he is doing better now. However in the beginning he was a huge attention seeker. He gained views off trying to look like BTS member jimin and claimed to be obsessed with this group yet didn't even know who the leader is which is such common knowledge.
The fandom was calling him out, many even told him to love himself and to stop trying to look like jimin. Only later on when trying to get him to stop didn't work did people start "supporting" him ans that was just trolls cause no one thought he actually seriously believed this stuff anymore. Everyone thought he was just doing it for attention. One of his friends even said once that he had admitted to her that he was just doing it for attention and actually didn't like this kpop group at all.
Honestly i think hes realised that the left is no longer giving him attention and now is trying to get attention from the other side of the political isle. Or with the lack of attention online he realised it was dumb and that he fucked up his life and is just unwilling to admit he was just doing it for attention at least at the beginning he most certainly was.
@@itzjia_6005 Vaildation and mental issues from the internet, it's not fake

@@zephyrsky__ definitely
i am 40 years old and have never had as many identity crisis' as this guy has had within the span of a year. that he can hold a new perspective so radically opposed to his previous perspective with such certainty makes it hard for me to believe that he is now suddenly of sound mind. If a mind can change so quickly, and is capable of believing things so uncritically, it indicates to me that he may very well fall into other salvation traps along the way in effort to escape himself. But i sincerely wish him peace and wellness.
Because it isn’t true, he clearly just wanted attention and the only way to keep getting it was by going further and further. He’s botched now probably wouldn’t have went this route if all was going well.
Mental illness is mental illness.
I don't wish ill on the guy, but I can't see anything good in his future.
Don’t underestimate the power of sitting in church and listening to Gad. To reading the Bible and realizing that maybe you are exactly the way you’re supposed to be.

It’s so refreshing to see Olli being so honest about his condition. I hope lots of kids with these problems see this video.
So impressed you interviewed Oli, and that he was brave enough to do it. Well done, everyone.
Stop with the word brave
No.
There is some privilege in this, so I understand people not wanting the word brave
@@Obatala_Vibez he was brave to publicly admit he was wrong on so many levels. That took balls. What needs to stop is people trying to police the speech/word choices of others expressing their own opinions.
How very brave of this man to speak publicly about these issues in his life. I have great respect for his candour on such difficult times, and I wish him a happy, healthy and good future.
Tragic thing is that he did this to himself to try to be handsome, but he already was.
I used to really dislike him and I would never have thought that I would change my mind about him, but he seems a really nice guy who realised he made a mistake. Good for him.
It's the poison of extreme superficiality in Korea that did it to his brain.
This goes down as one of the best interviews to date. Well done all and Merry Christmas 🎉
This is the only way we will understand this phenomenon by listening to people like Oli London who is brave enough to talk about it and who is very articulate.
You’re really living up to this show’s premise: “honest conversations with fascinating people”. Oli is both fascinating and honest.
Glad to see he has come full circle and now sees reality.
What a lovely, brave and self aware man. I'm sorry to hear that he felt so bad about his appearance that he went to these measures. I'm glad that he's turned a corner and I hope he finds self acceptance and self love. Thank you for this interview.
Funny when talking about pronouns, Oli went from addressing Dylan Mulvaney as "she" to "they." Even after the host corrected him, Oli wouldn't use "he/him" pronouns. Oli still has a way to go.
Genuinely surprised to hear Oli London on Triggernometry! I didn't expect him to be so well articulate to be honest. Park Jimin, the Korean singer he was trying to look like (also the guy on my pfp) is one of my favorite artists so I'm a bit familiar with Oli London's trajectory. He was a great subject of mockery in kpop fandoms - which is quite a world of itself by the way, much to say about... The first time I heard about him, I obviously found him wacky, extremely cringy but as annoying and cringy as he was I always felt bad for the way people were mocking and insulting him constantly because it was oh so obvious he was struggling a lot mentally. And the backlash he faced after his "coming out as Korean" (I honestly thought he was trolling at the time..) was indeed quite hypocritical coming from the same woke mob who claim you can be x, y, z gender or God knows what. I'm no expert about South Korea but his vision of the country and its people does not seem really accurate though. Anyway, I just hope he's sincere now and feeling better.
Its funny because these same types act incensed at B.Free for his few comments against BTS members yet they come in droves to harrass B.Free and cant see the hypocrisy and imbalance of their behaviour. The same for Oli. His accounts are FULL of awful comments not to mention the videos RUclipsrs make running him down. It's not like a few people he could handle. They're bullying him en-masse. They dont stop even when someone apologises. They cry over someone like Jonghyun committing suicide but treat someone like Oli as fodder to abuse to their own pleasure.
@@DarkAngel2512 Exactly. Bullying is a massive problem in kpop fandoms. And the bigger the fandom, the worst the bullying, obviously . A lot of fans just can't accept any tiny bit of criticism, they have this typical victim mentality that makes them extremely sensitive, and overreacting for the sake of "protecting" their idols. And in the case of BTS, it's even more ironic considering they've teamed up with Unicef in the past on anti-bullying campaign... Those fans just don't care much about the message behind the music and what the artists say unfortunately.
@@vivit.8326 even when I've said I dislike an artist's singing, dancing or rapping etc, the onslaught was insane. I stopped going to the concerts and listening to the music for a bit just because I couldnt stand being around the fans. You cannot have an opinion with Kpop fans. One even said on one forum she was at a house party playing BTS and her friend said she didnt like them, said they were crap or something and the first girl said she shouldnt speak badly about them even behind closed doors as its disrespectful and hurtful to BTS even if BTS arent there to hear it. These guys are extreme and lack balance.
The movie Paradise is a great Korean movie.
@@DarkAngel2512 I didn't want to dive into kpop in the first place partially because of the bad reputation of its fandoms... still decided to give it a go and well, it was even worst than I expected lmao so I'm not surprised. I don't let it interfere with my love for the artists but I completely understand people who just don't want to get involved at all anymore!
How great that you had Oli on! What a story he has to tell and it's an important one. I really hope he keeps telling it! Thanks Oli!
Tough to walk that back tbf. I'm still embarrassed about shit I said at the pub 10 years ago
Respect for Oli for admiting it was a mistake and speaking up honestly about the cause of why young people are being encouraged to make these life changing decisions.
This guy was literally never accepted, he was called insane from the beggining
This is seriously one of the best interviews you've done so far. Truly fascinating stuff. And massive respect for this guy not only for owning his past mistakes but also for coming to be such an eloquent and sensible adult. If he can go through such a jorney towards a more sane and fulfilled life, there's still hope for society.
I remember over 20 years ago when I realized that no matter how much I exercised, dressed better or groomed better, I would never be taller... And I had to learn to accept and eventually love myself for just being a bit shorter.
I hated being tall when I was a kid - kids just want to be average and fit in - I used to think that they could remove 2 inches from my femur and 2 inches from my tibia/fibia ---- kid's minds are so plastic and undeveloped - they'll believe almost any sort of brainwashing - thankfully what I was thinking was not available and now I'm happily 6 feet four and stand tall (not arrogantly) ----- brainwashing kids in this war on reality is truly insidious --- we're all equal but we're not all the same -- that's just a fact.
Im sure, though, you had many inspirational tall people to look up to
I bet you heve been punching up your entire life....
Wow. What a story! God bless him.
Oli, you are absolutely fantastic! My respect is yours! I know you might not see my message, but I was brought up in Japan. I cannot tell you how many times I thought that all my problems would go away if I was Japanese. It seems you found your peace of mind. Respect! I am your newest follower.
I have disliked Oli “online” (as I’ve never met them in person), for a long time. The attention seeking, plastic surgery glorification, and then becoming “trans-racial” created a lot of divisions in the global kpop community.
However, Oli makes an incredible point: “why can’t I look like a Korean, when Koreans are trying to look western?” That question spoke volumes to me. As someone who’s been listening to kpop since 2010, this has been a LONG GOING issue with Kpop artists. Tons of plastic surgery, and extreme weight loss are more than prevalent amongst artists. If you follow kpop artists for long enough, you WILL get some sort of mental illness or insecurity from it.
I’m glad that Oli has recognized their own behaviors and has come out about them honestly. I’d love to see this side of them more on RUclips. We shall see.
*HE, Oli is a HE, He's dropped all the pro noun crap he says and would like to be referred to by the gender he represents, that being HE.
There are many Asians with natural double eyelids and high nose bridges so him not realising that shows how he’s still stereotyping all Asians as he always had. Koreans aren’t trying to look white, they are still proud to be Korean and aren’t claiming to be white like he tried to claim being Korean. The look they go for may seem more westernised but it’s not at all the same thing as trying to look completely white. They have their own unique beauty standards there and while it may lean toward a more mixed look, it’s still very much Asian and all their models are still Asian, not white.
It's good that people who have been 'that person' are coming out and talking about it. Hopefully it reaches others who are where he has been and saves them from themselves before they ruin their faces, bodies, or whatever.
@@idylledoll really...look at the double eyelid surgery.... please dont sugar coat anything... yet I'm oriental myself..this pandemic getting worse
He is now a 'He' and Him. Can you not see that. 'They' are a group of people not one person, sounds like you skipped the first years of school......
45:05 - The attachment of sexualizing children to Queer Theory and Critical Theory goes BEYOND some of the founders wanting to have sex with teens and kids. They actually promote it as a way of creating radicals. They think that introducing children to mature and heavy concepts and experiences (like racism, sex, kinks, masturbation, porn, climate/doomsday alarmism, victimhood, etc.) is a way of galvanizing them, destroying their innocence, emancipating them from their parents, and turning them into like shocktroopers for their causes. It's not just "grooming" kids with the goal of molesting or raping them... it's molesting and sexualizing kids as a form of cult grooming.
Yes, I hate the indoctrination with the climate alarmism even more than the silly read hours from ugly men in archaic dresses.
I can’t lie as soon as he referenced the addiction to surgery and identity crisis. I immediately thought of Jessica that used to be the ‘human Ken doll’. Thank God my tattoo/metal phase didn’t go as far as it could. I feel so sorry for people when they don’t have the right grounding and they’re just trying to ‘find’ themselves
I thought of Jessica too. I'm so sad when I see her face now.
Metal and tattoos are a phase to you? Clearly you were never into either.
I am glad that you had Oli on. I always wanted to hear someone have a proper conversation with Oli and hear why and what Oli was going through and the thought process.
I must say, I never knew he could be so sensible.
I could have never imagined the Oli I saw in social media these past years was this level headed person. Glad you made it out before things got out of hand. Wishing you peace and happiness for the future.
This story honestly just makes me sad. To take the search for love and validation so far as to hurt and scar yourself is gut wrenching. I'm happy Oli is turning things around and actually using his experience to warn and help others. Cheers.
This is why I love you guys and its why I support you on Locals... These are the conversations I really like to listen to. Great work!
Wow, I saw a video from him a year or two ago and it seemed insane, but I am positively surprised what a real and sensible guy he has become! Good luck Oli, keep fighting the good fight man! Right on.
Excellent testimony. I'm so proud of Oli deciding to go against this agenda. His story really matters because he's lived this.
It’s what’s inside that counts! I can tell that what is inside you Oli is sweet, kind, lovely, and trustworthy. I’m glad you found yourself Oli ❤
Oh wowzer. Congrats on beating the addiction Oli! Takes great strength, honestly. We all have our different issues to overcome, and it's always inspiring to see it.
Very interesting, honest , likeable and humble guest ..shocking at times to hear what goes on in certain circles. Like the way KK and FF interviewed him and he wasn’t reactive at all …so despite the subject matter, an enjoyable interview.
"why did you want to be korean?" "what made you fall in love with their culture?" this is the same for gender btw. its a love, and admiration, a desire to be like them and be seen or treated like them. just like race, just like ethnicity, we grow feelings about this throughout life. most people healthily integrate their race into themselves even if they sometimes dont like the way theyre treated or seen based on it. some people struggle more. some people cant shake their race from their heads, think everyone is judging them or seeing them differently through the lens of their race, and to some extent thats true, some people will do that, but most people wont. some people with these struggles may even envy another race and wish to be them. wish to be a cool rapper, wish to be a pretty kpop boy, wish to be white to escape being seen as "other". this is the EXACT same for sex. some people have issues, some people have envy (based on biased perceptions), some people heal from these struggles, some dont-- and if all of society is going to play into your fantasy you have no incentive to heal. the wound stays open while living in a delusion.
like, listen to him, he says korean people are nice and kind (not all are, this is a clear bias), he says that he found their culture beautiful, he said he was captivated by all of it (a fantasy). even in his story there was probably an underlying factor, which is falling in love with kpop boys sexually and romantically as many girls and boys do. but even if thats the foundation (as agp is the foundation for many mtf males) thats not all of it. its loving the entire culture, everything about it, its idolization, agp men do this same thing with women, and they will bolster at the claim that their desire to be women is founded in a sexual origin, because it doesnt FEEL that way... it feels like everything feels right about the opposite sex, their culture, theyre all kind, the way you want to look etc. but its all fantasy. in the exact same way. because not all women are nice, not all women are beautiful, and a man's perspctive on female culture will always be from a perspective that didnt have to grow up female with those expectations being place on him.
Just because you have a sexual fetish, a paraphillia about being a woman, it doesn't make you a woman, no matter what you do to your body or what costume you wear. It does however, make you an autogynephille. A sexual fetish and magical lady feels does not and will never make you female.
Beautiful comment
Great comment
It's more than love or fantasy, it's mental illness.
He did not want to be a Korean woman. He was obsessed with Kpop and he was gay. I'm grateful he's being honest with himself now and he's gotten past his plastic surgery addiction.
My admiration for oli is beyond words. Never would have thought this day would come
Why do you admire him?
@Adopt-a-Pet because people get a lot of backlash when say they say regret transitioning or they have stopped believing other woke concepts and ideologies. Especially if you top that with religion aswell which is also becoming shunned by western society. The fact the he is brave enough to make this public despite scrutiny especially a platform as big as his speaks volumes.
@@interviewsimplified if he never got backlash, he'd still be "trans-korean", dude loves attention, nothing brave about what the is doing.
"admiration" for an idiot
Bravo! Brilliant conversation lads 😊 Thank you to Oli for having the courage to speak out, and to do it gracefully.
I am female and if my brain was somehow forcibly transplanted into a male body, I would simply learn to accept that body and not try to deform and destroy it. These destructive surgeries are horrifying.
exactly. How the hell can you be "in" the wrong body. You ARE your body. If you feel like you are in the wrong body, there is something wrong with your perceptions, not your body.
Well, that's easier said than done. Old school transsexuality is not trivial.
@@delta-9969 that's a fundamental issue that I hardly ever see anybody address: this idea that somehow body and soul are completely separate. That your body is ultimately nothing more than a vessel for you soul, and that only your soul constitutes your identity. That's really not self-evident. It's Gnosticism. It's a spiritual assertion that droves of people just accept without thinking twice. And the woke left (or however else you want to summarize it) isn't consistent about it either, because as soon as we're talking about race, your body IS suddenly a huge part of your identity again. Heck to some of these people it seems to be the primary defining factor of who they are and who they're gonna associate with.
@@delta-9969 They can't be. The dysphoria people feel is a mental illness. They are in their right body and always were. Intensive therapy to accept this rather than life altering, irreversible surgeries is needed.
@@delta-9969 yeah - the brain is a manifestation of the body and the mind is a manifestation of the brain.
3 cheers for someone exiting the woke cult.
When Oli was a kid there was no tick tok or woke bs so what is he talking about? I really think this is just his way to get attention.
Oli is pretty well informed about what's going on in the world, I can't believe that someone who was recently caught up in this ideology is so well informed, and so quickly realized what someone else needs years for...
Excellent warning to parents, teens and young adults! Do not change your body~
I have to say I was very worried when I first saw Oli identifying as a Korean woman. I thought I've seen it all now and the world has gone insane. But this story has a beautiful ending and I really admire Oli for his honesty and courage. And God bless what you're doing Oli because what you're doing is so valuable. Keep speaking for our children that are being hunted by sexual predators and medical psychopaths that want to destroy their little bodies for money.
"But this story has a beautiful ending and I really admire Oli for his honesty and courage."
You are wrong. He is still grifting. He hasn't learned a damned thing. He is still the same needy loser that he was when he thought surgery could actually make him Korean. He realised that wasn't working for him (to get him the attention he craves), so he came up with a new angle.
And shame on you for feeding his ego. You are not helping him by being 'nice', you are enabling him. Helping him to hurt himself etc.
Wow what a naive reply. U mentioned psychopaths. U left out narcissists and sociopaths. Behaviours he clearly exhibits!.
@@zalamaelexactly he’s clearly off it. Why would he try to be asian when he was already white.
Thank you for speaking out Oli❣❣
Well done Ollie for sharing the true story behind your journey - I wish you love and healing !
I'm so glad he called out Dylan.
Good on you, Oli! Takes a lot of courage to do what you're doing. Thanks for sharing and being an advocate for kids.
We need to get past this notion that surgery is an optional thing, like leather seats or air conditioning. Cutting is an assault on the body. Just because we aren't conscious of the pain, doesn't mean the body doesn't feel attacked.
I had so much surgery in 2018-2020 for health issues. It is a whole violation to your vessel. I felt so violated every time, and kept it completely to myself. I appreciate your comment. Never saw someone say this
Yes! I agree with you both!!!!!
Need a massive encouragement to admit your mistake. Proud of what he does. I pray for his recovery from the past experience. Massive respect for Oli.
Definitely brave articulate man. Keep fighting Oli.
Impressed by his honesty, he clearly had a rough time growing up. I hope he finds happyness and some peace.
Oli said it correctly. There is a lot of money involved in these transition processes and included surgeries. As long as there is money involved it won’t stop…
Edit: btw there are people who identify as a person of a different age than what they are..
And Oli has seen that sanity is on the horizon and he’s following the money. When Dylan Mulvaney goes back to he/him it’ll be the US version.
@@yyclept well fair enough, I don’t know but as long as he’s promoting sane views I don’t necessarily care
Money not really an issue outside the US. It’s that surgery seems to be more of an ideological crusade in the U.K. - with not much evidence.
Lol I identify as a 27 year old but my body won’t go along with my fantasy. Stodgy old thing just refuses to drop those decades.
@@OkTxSheepLady 😂👍🏻
"Children are being misinformed.' Understatement of the year?
I didn't realize this was Oli London while you guys were talking about the interview last week. I commend you both for considering him. A fantastic interview, well done and important.
I so respect this man, how brave to come on this major platform and speak Truth to Power!
This is called : "Having more money than you have brains"
I wish him nothing, but the best in the future. Who knows? He might be a prominent voice of sanity in the future. 🙂
I can’t pretend I understand , ‘ cause I don’t . This just sounds mad to me . I blame the doctors whose irresponsibility is scary .
Wow, Oli is brave. It’s extremely difficult when you are highly intelligent with body’s dimorphism because you can articulate yourself into extremism.
Oh Please, this person is an absolute grifter and will be anything anybody wants him to be if they are willing to give him attention and money.
yeas not good at all and is age he is 37 years old
he looks like a 65 years old grandfather of plastics of plastic sthe shit that gets me is why would you mutilate your face to troll people Oli, she's lying to Korean and his screen with the Filipino flagout slang in the Philippine language. So now he's fetishising Filipino women and not Korean men stop Please leave my Korean
