- Reacting to the wonderfully transphobic PargerU again on this channel. This time they went around asking people if 8 year olds can choose their gender, and shockingly that's the best question they asked.

That's because Asexual people are dragons
Before I get misunderstood:
In the Asexual community we call ourselves dragons.
I'm not trying to say that asexuality doesn't exist.
As an ace, hell yeah we're dragons! But trans people can be dragons too I think
As an ace non-binary cat, I'm going to betray our kind by revealing our secret: Ace people do exist. And we are in fact literal dragons.

Host baffoon: "Can an 8 year old choose their gender?"
Most people interviewed: "Yes."
Host baffoon: "And so most people agree that an 8 year old can't choose their gender."
I'm trusting Jamie to have not cherry picked the footage for this call-out to work. Lol
tbh even if he had, it's kind of telling that the buffoon interviewer left all those contradictory responses in the original video. Usually with those sorts of things they're cut to look like all or almost all respondents agreed with them... But maybe there just wasn't enough footage to make a full video without them 🤭
It basically went:
- Do you like bananas?
- Yes, they are tasty
- Would you like to only eat bananas for the rest of your life?
- No, I wouldn't like that
- Here we have one person who doesn't like bananas.
Nope he didn't I watched the original shit show video-
@Fernando Avalos - Sure, I'll take the bait. Care to explain why you think I'm the buffoon? =P

What parent responds to their small child saying "I want to be a dragon" with "No, you're a boy"? That's so depressing! When I was eight, I wanted to be a unicorn, and do you know what my mom did? She bought me a unicorn onesie and I wore it everywhere. A good parent fosters their child's creativity and listens to their wants and feelings, even if they might seem silly from an adult perspective. Parents shouldn't force their kid to be a rigid mini adult. That's just dumb.
Omg so that’s why he’s so messed up!
so you're basically saying you should let your children role-play as the opposite sex to foster their creativity til they eventually grow up and (with their adult mind that has a better grasp of reality) realize you can't actually change your gender irl, just like you can't actually be a unicorn irl.

Them " Does an eight year old have the maturity to decide to chop it off"
me "No they don't that's why they CAN'T UNTIL THEY'RE 18
Babies get stuff chopped off without a say in it just because they are intersex and have "too large clitorises" and whatnot. Well, thankfully not anymore, but it was the norm for a while. Some places wouldn't even tell the parents about any genital adjustments they made to intersex children. Decades later most of the medical professionals and parents bloody finally understand how wrong it is to do that shit.
Bottom surgery for trans women isn't even "chopping it off" its inverting it and then resetting the tissue to form a vagina 💀 transphobes don't even know what they're talking about half the time

As a trans girl who, for completely unrelated reasons, is also a dragon, I find your statement "trans people are not dragons" to be exclusionary. Dragon's can be trans too, and are just as capable of knowing their gender at 8 years old or 800 years old. /s

It's ironic that he asked if 8 year old have the maturity to make life decisions because, when I was 8, I was diagnosed with cancer. I decided I was going to survive, and I did. I think that qualifies as a literal "life decision".

If changes make you happy, go for it! But if you are a guy you are a guy, no matter what :)
This makes no sense ... chromosomes have nothing to do with trans ... you still have female chromosomes after you turn male and vise versa ....
Dude, same.
A better question would have been "can 8 year olds choose how they want to present themselves based on their gender?" and then the answer is absolutely YES because regardless of your gender you have ideas at 8 years old about what image you want to project to the world : )
when i was 8 years old i was....hmm...i was..uh...just...really...really....gay..? and i looked like dora the explorer
when I was 8 someone asked me "are you a boy or a girl?" and that was the peak of my life everything from there has gone downhill
When I was 8 I identified as a 'tomboy' like a boyish girl. 16 years later I identify as genderqueer. So maybe I did know what I was but was lacking in the vocabulary and even the concept that it was a choice.
I’m 15 and i still dont know who i am so I definitely knew nothing when i was eight
And even if people say, "Oh, it's just a phase, they'll want to change later!!!!" like okay. that is a possibility (definitely not guaranteed). is there anything wrong with that though? no. life is entirely composed of phases, changes, learning. embrace it, instead of worrying about whether or not this is who you want to be forever.
PragerU seriously targeted an ad to me on RUclips saying that I couldn't be an ashiest because I have to be a horrible person with no morals at all, and I cannot believe that they actually thought it was okay to tell people that, "what you believe makes you the worse person imaginable"
"I'm a dragon!"
"No you're not, you're a boy"
First off, what does gender have to do with a dragon???
Second, why don't your parents let you pretend to be a dragon when you're 5 or 8? I'd tell my mom I was everything, from a witch/wizzard to a bacteria, and she'd always, like, nodd and laugh.

Hello, fellow enby aroace!
And Dragons are cool!
They’re not perfect orators of gender theory, but the heart is there.
Yeah, and let's not forget the video was edited to fit pragerU's agenda. Also most cis people don't really know what transitioning entails for a grown up, let alone a child.
Also, they were likely surprised on the street with video cameras. Not everyone is at their best in that situation.
Comments were 666 then I came in
Yeah I can tell that they edited the shit out of their answers as soon as he started bringing up medical transitions too
As someone who was raised in the Mormon "Church", I find this question extremely amusing. No, an eight-year-old child can't get a haircut and go by a new name and pronouns, but they CAN make an eternal oath that they'll dedicate themselves to a man in the sky who will split up their family in the afterlife if they have a cup of coffee. Makes perfect sense.
"Career plans changed a little bit"
Such a shame, he could have been a dragon. Instead he just became a bigot.
If we ignore all the transphobic bullcrap in this weird advert thing, as a teacher of young children, I'm quite upset that this guy had parents who told him he couldn't be a dragon at 8 years old. Who is telling kids at 8 years old that they can't be what they want to be? Sounds like he had a really sad childhood, I hope he finds peace.
Yeah, it's kind of like people who tell little kids that Santa isn't real. Most older kids know it, but that doesn't mean you should spoil the kid's happiness.
@@amberleckie4143 exactly. my 12yr old sister still mostly believes in Santa and im not gonna ruin that for her (she'll find out in like a year) it costs nothing to let them be happy and it doesn't hurt anyone
@@kaelin8775 as an autist, it would possibly mess up an autistic child, but not a neurotypical one probably. Not that my parents ever bothered to make me believe in santa despite them not realizing I was autistic. I was too fascinated with the history and the cultural variations of St Nicholaus and Santa to care about missing out or not missing out, as a kid. (I am the kind of person who doesn't feel like knowing the trick behind a magic trick ruins it, it in fact enhances it for me as it makes me appreciate it more deeply).
IKR?? His mom crushed his dreams
@@Call-me-Al I'm neurotypical and I would say it probably would have an impact for many. My mum always said she was a witch when I was young, no idea where it came from but there we go. When I was 13 it came up in conversation and while I knew by that stage obviously it was all a game, she went out of her way to confirm she wasn't really a witch. I knew, but it really hurt me because I wasn't in control of my own imagination anymore, she had ripped it away, while unintentionally. So I would imagine Santa would have the same impact. My mum still feels awful to this day although I am now over it, 11 years later, but it taught me a valuable lesson that I've carried into both my teaching and motherhood.

On the dragon thing: when I was a kid (and growing up, even as a teenager), the thing I wanted more than anything in the world was to be something else. And having grown up reading high fantasy nigh on constantly, that took the form of wanting to be a dragon, or a cat, or an elf, or a plant, or whatever the hell else I happened to be interested in at the time, because all of those things were better, because they weren't what I WAS.
In hindsight, that's one of the biggest symptoms I had of being trans. But I didn't know that transgender was something that existed, I didn't know I was ALLOWED, and so I wanted to be a dragon.
TLDR: fuck that dragon comparison because actually, wanting to be SOMETHING ELSE is a massively overlooked symptom of transness.
Highly relatable. I've been obsessed with shapeshifters from a young age and long into adulthood. I always identified most with shapeshifter characters in fiction, and grew frustrated that they were almost always depicted as the villains. (See also how many fictional villains are coded, and how LGBTQ+ people have had to read themselves into the characters for representation.) Since I grew up with depression and chronic illness, I felt that being able to change into anything I wanted would let me escape this form that was causing me so much distress. I'm an author and illustrator now, and have written a lot of stories about shapeshifters like werewolves, kitsune, nanomorphs, you name it. I had been aware for some time that my characters could be interpreted as trans allegories, and I have several who are canonically nonbinary, but it didn't occur to me I was writing about myself the whole time.
Looking back at the stories and characters I created over the course of my life was one of the major signs that helped me figure out my own identity. Perhaps all along I wanted to conceive of a world where I might belong.

When I was a kid (I'm cis woman), I had an opposite sex kid come over to play with me (with Barbies), and he got bullied for it, because boys aren't supposed to play with dolls. We were six years old. It's interesting that some people think an 8-year-old is too young to know their gender, yet no-one questions the fact that most parents force these silly strict gender roles on small kids. I grew up in the 80s, and thankfully, at least some parents are more educated about these things nowadays. Kids should be allowed to be kids, and play with the toys and friends they want and wear the clothes they like. Maybe the question should be, are kids too young to have someone force them into a specific gender role?
imho gender role is made up .... we assume things about gender ... but its not true ... I believe there are two genders ... but being male or female shouldn't dictate your interests ... I'm a bisexual cis woman... I'm into boy things and girl things .... I'm a tomboy....
I played with Barbie’s when I was in kindergarten. I’m glad that I was fortunate enough to be allowed and not prohibited to play with what I wanted

Kids at 8 can absolutely choose their own gender.
acquaintances of ours have a pair of identical twins, and one of them is trans. She showed quite a few signs as early as 2 and was encouraged to wear whatever she wanted and grow her hair out. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen her, but the last time I saw her she had socially transitioned completely.
She is about 14 now if I remember correctly.
I think about her sometimes, she was so lucky with accepting parents and siblings from such a young age
8yr olds can't choose their gender, because no one chooses their gender, that's not how gender works, at all.
If you're cis or trans isn't anything you choose, no one chooses to be a girl, boy, or nb, they just are. The only choice being made, when it comes to being trans, is if they live authentically, as a trans person, if they are out or stealth, and what transitional steps to take.
no they need to be a leate teen to do that
I’m cis woman, when I was ~4, my mom bought me a pair of overalls. I refused to wear them because for whatever reason, my 4 year old logic told me that only boys wore overalls. I distinctly remember having a knock down drag out fight/tantrum with my mom over this. I remember being so frustrated that she couldn’t understand something that was so obvious to me. I KNEW I was a girl (again, cis women here), and what she expected of me felt so wrong. As an adult I can laugh about the silliness of that incidence, but I always think about this when people question trans children. No one argued with me about something I knew so deeply about myself.
I think this guy is just bitter that he realised he couldn’t be a dragon
Career plans have changed a little: Instead of something cool like a dragon, now I'm a professional transphobe
lol
niiiice
Actually, sometimes kids do get sex changes.
Not trans kids who have asked for it, but intersex kids who are too young to even express a gender identity, usually before they’re even speaking.
I wonder why anti trans people never talk about how intersex children are being given sex change surgeries and hormone therapy as children often in secret. I mean, when an intersex baby is given genital alteration to make them look “normal” as a baby, they have around a 40% chance of regretting that, where as a trans person has less than a 1% chance of detransitioning, and the trans person actually consented, so it’s not like there was a violation of bodily autonomy.
It’s almost as if transphobes don’t actually care about protecting children, but only about pushing an agenda that intersex people, since they don’t fit neatly into male or female cut and dry gender boxes, are a threat to.
It's crazy how that works, isn't it?
in every case I've ever seen, if someone tries to bring up intersex people, transphobes dismiss them out of hand because apparently it's too rare to be relevant to the issue... when clearly, even if that was the case, even if there was a threshold for what % of people need to be affected by something for it to be relevant to human rights issues, it's not as uncommon as they think
@@Romanticoutlaw some studies suggest a percentage of 2 percent intersex people. That's roughly the percentage of red haired people in middle Europe 🙃
Crazy how people just want to be harmful to someone who has not done anything to threaten them just because their tiny brains can't comprehend that people can be different then them and still be good people.
Me to the interviewees: They a confused but they got the spirit
The "What did you want to be when you were 8?" question bugged me. Being transgender is not a career! Or a fantasy.

THIS all the way!! I wanted to be a pilot when I was a kid (as long as I can remember... so probably 5 - 6 years old?), but knew I couldn't be because of my eyes, so instead declared that I would be an engineer...
My school careers advisors would tell me that I needed to consider other things as well and make me do various career questionnaires... nearly all of which came back with varying forms of engineering as suggested careers.
A little over 18 years ago I qualified with a masters degree in engineering and have been working as an engineer ever since!
(I know this is different to gender... but it shows that kids CAN be very certain about things that will shape how their lives turn out!)
kids: I wanna be the president when I grow up!
transphobes: that's awesome honey, you can be anything you want if you put your mind to it!
(male-designated) kids: I wanna wear dresses/paint my nails/play with dolls/grow my hair
transphobes: YOU CANT POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
like hunny, pick a lane. It's a thousand times more likely that your kid could be trans (or even just gender-nonconforming) than could grow up to be a president or an astronaut
Career paths can change. I'm 15 and a lot of people my age don't know what they want to do later on. If an 8 year old boy says he wants to be a girl and gets treated like a girl as well as getting surgery and or hormone changes then that will stay forever with him. But when an 8 year old is still in school then he has time thinking about his job. I think a lot of people are underestimating the seriousness.
@@ayoutubeuser7613 no 8 year olds are getting hormones or surgery.
At 8 the most that will happen is they will change their name and the way they dress, style their hair etc.
When they reach puberty they *might* be lucky enough to get puberty blockers (if they have supportive parents, a supportive doctor and have jumped through all the hoops (therapy, etc.). Still nothing irreversible, all puberty blockers do is pause the onset of puberty.
Then when they reach 16 - 18 they *might* be able to get hormones. There will be no kind of surgery until AT LEAST 18.
@@robthurgood yes. And that's good. But it might not stay that way. Also letting them dress and style their hair differently can also be a bit much considering their image in society and the effects it has on themselves (For example: A boy realizing he doesn't want to be a girl and that he has thrown away the past years trying to be a girl).
Yeah.... trans people definitely aren’t dragons, hahah, that’s ridiculous...
*guys they’re onto us, I repeat, they’re onto us*
UH OH!
@Carlina M I think it was steve.
Dammit, Steve...
We were doing so well
" My gender is man" unironically my favorite thing i have heard all year
"You can't be a dragon" apparently equals "You can't experience your gender experience, I know it better than you"
prageru really causes a lot of self hate even if its ridiculous arguments it gets lodged in your brain. basically watch out and dont internalize their messages
“And then you...chop it.”
I nearly spit out my lemon
@@emo_grinch_440 YESSSSS!
@@emo_grinch_440 Same
hol up-
Nah I eat *packing peanuts*
Now I want a Lemon! besides they don't they chop it.. I want to get surgery but will have to wait a couple years.
Eight year olds don't think they're dragons. They may, may pretend to be a dragon. But by eight you know the difference between reality and fiction and wouldn't conflate that with gender.
Note how he said ‘I *WANT*ED to be a dragon
Like he knew he wasn’t a dragon but wanted to be one
Trans kids don’t WANT to be another gender, they ARE that gender
@@jupitersparx4101 I'm saying their argument is flawed because they are assuming being trans is a choice - hence, the example of a child saying they want to be a dragon. They're implying kids don't understand; I'm saying they do and their example was incorrect and poor.
Ik I was agreeing with you :)
I was also making another point - sry if it didn’t come of that way
@@jupitersparx4101 Gotcha. No worries
Yes. If an 8yo can know they're cis, they can know they're trans, gender fluid, bigender, non binary, or anything else. I'm 10 and know I'm a demi girl. I have a friend who is gender fluid. I have another friend who's non binary. I DESPISE when people tell me online "You're 10, why do you have your pronouns in your bio" like BRUUUUHHHH. Thanks to all the people you've helped me through this sh!t
Just because I want a dragon and want to be a dragon does not mean that relates to gender.
Transphobes, don't speak to me or my dragon children.
"But we trust cis kids."
That was exactly my thought. What they mean when they ask "Can an 8 year old choose/know their gender?" I'm here wondering, "Well you wouldn't question it if an AFAB 8 year old was saying they were a girl, would you?"
Because their natural birth gender is self evident and there has never been any confusion about it. The reason trans people transition is because they are confused & switching genders brings them to a more centered normalcy. Why ask a CIS person who has no wish to transition if they are confused? They aren't, they are comfortable with their natural gender
As someone else already pointed out, it's self-evident, unlike transgenderism.
TRANS PEOPLE AREN'T DRAGONS
but i wanna be a dragon D:
but dragons are cool!
@@Crow.c I am a cis dragon and I am now leting you know, that you indeed, are a dragon
not yet, anyway. Here's hoping
I really wanna be a dragon tho 😭
One of the saddest moments was when he said his mom told him he wasn't a dragon. Why couldn't his mom play along and let him pretend? Bad parenting.
And we can all see that an unhappy childhood leads to a life without acceptance for others...
That’s why he is the way he is
@@bacul165 ah he disagrees with you. he surely must have had an unhappy childhood, surely
“my gender is ... MAN”
love that for you
I was a dragon princess and my cousin was the fairy queen… Kids don’t actually think they are that. They’re playing pretend.
Gender identity is different. I didn’t really think I about actual gender. I just knew I was treated like a girl. And for whatever reason I loved be “mistaken” for a boy or being called a tomboy. Years later, “Hang on a minute…”
ive been arguing with transphobes on a video and they pulled the "I'm a dragon" card, and I pulled the " do you want a fursuit site card"
It's dangerous to go alone, take this
I hate that, i've heard so many degrading "i'm an *object/animal* now" cards and i hATE THEM ALL
@@amidar6634 yeah I just tell them that isn't a gender and it's called being a furry and move on
@@localsatanist it's not even being a furry, it's being a therian.
A therian is someone who identifies as an animal like how one might feel as if they're nonbinary, or due to experiences in past or future lives. (The grandma in Moana could be interpreted as a Therian)
Meanwhile a furry, is a person who likes the idea of anthropomorphic animals and how they can be portrayed.
Obviously, a person can be both
hehe i identify as a spoon hehe look at my original joke guys i owned the libs please laugh
Jamie: they’re not asking the right questions
Me: of course they’re not asking the right questions. They’re asking questions that will get them the answers they want
‘Trans people can’t be dragons’
My female presenting trans male friend: drops dragon cosplay
I struggled a lot reading that
Okay it makes sense now 😂
I love how he has to clarify that trans people aren’t dragons.
“TrAnS pEoPLe AreN’T DrAgONs” this had me dying
Everyone is wearing a mask except the damn interviewer
@Gay and Broadway that’s because the interviewer is far right, and they don’t ‘believe’ in wearing masks, or Covid!
Also, everyonw who agreed with him.
wow who would have thought... so suprising
They believe jesus will save them form corona
I love all the people that said yes 💜
hi, I’m a furry, one of my funsonas is a raptor. His name is Aqua. Aqua doesn’t like transphobia. Be like Aqua
Thank you, you are a good person
I will also be like aqua, he sounds very cool
wouldnt it be a scaly
or a feathery if were being scientific
I like Aqua, he seems cool!
I strive to be like Aqua
The question of what did you want to be was so funny because when I was 8 I wanted to be a teacher, and I'm now in college studying to be a teacher. Oops guess I missed the memo that was supposed to change.
"everything is covered in cat fur" tis the life of a cat person
Oh my god, I wish I was a dragon!
...and I actually remember what I wanted to be at 8 years old... a girl. I wanted to be a girl, because I wasn't. I was just pretending I was and wanted to be normal.
I'm a trans dude, if you didn't quite get it.
Also a warlock. 8 year old me, wanted to be a warlock and blow stuff up with fireballs.
you realise that both the dragons and warlocks do the explody fireball thing, right?
@@randomdogdog I thought about becoming a pyrotechnician, when I got older.
I really like the though of exploding things ^^
This is very relatable
It's actually scary how close this is to me...
Except I wanted to be a druid and be one with nature lol
(I grew up to become a pagan. That's close enough, right? Haha)
@@kortmann9 Druids instantly have my respect. Nature is amazing.
So when he didn't get the answer he wanted, he just strawmans "So kids should be able to schedule gender reassignment surgery?" That's not even a discussion, but it's scarier than should a child be able to wear what they feel comfortable in, and be referred to as who they are.
it's almost as if he has no concept of non-medically transitioning trans people. Because he doesn't.
Wow imagine not letting a kid express themselves. They can pick their clothes and what hairstyle they want but *gasp* ,not what pronouns they want?! The audacity ✨
I identify as to and from... and I'm a bisexual cat
@@DinosaurNick kids know the difference between gender+sexuality and animals. Can't tell what point you are trying to make with your comment ✨
When he brought up dragons my mind went, "Nah, fam. You're thinking aces."
My son at 2 to 4 years old KNEW he was a boy and got very upset at being misgendered as a girl. To the point that for years we had to rename grilled cheese sandwiches as melted cheese because he thought they were GIRL cheese sandwiches and he was NOT a girl but a boy. He was so adamant about it that though he was cis male, I often use his experiences as an example that young trans kids know early on.
I can’t help but scream “ITS NOT A CHOICE PLEASE STOP”
Okay so I used to play act that I was a dog when I was a child, and my mom wasn't like _NO, you are a hUmAn BeInG_ , however she didn't tell me it was wrong for me to transition either, she supports me and I appreciate that immensely
The other day there was a dog that was afraid of me. the only way i could ease their concerns was by panting with them. i got some weird looks from some people but it worked. i was friends with the dog. Sometimes breaking societal norms can be of great benefit.
randomdogdog
Dog psychology is fascinating. I work with dogs and showing them a familiar behavior is actually so great for clear communication. Seriously, how do people think humans learned each other’s languages? Same concept but cross- species.
The dog will identify so much more with you if you exhibit your understanding
(Sorry if that was too unrelated)
Exactly
@@kimberlymadrid8507 My bro believed he was a robot. I don't know if I said something special. Only that "I'm a girl, but I have a boy's spirit". My mom didn't react well lol. Now I know I'm a demigirl :D
Jamie: says something
Everyone: get that on a shirt
I LOVE all the citations in your videos! It’s a great way to start learning more about the science so I can be better informed when people spout ignorance. Thank you!! ❤️
As a mom to a 19 and 8 yr old trans kids I say thank you for addressing this. I speak to a lot of these type of comments on my TikTok and it blows me away by the comment section
People have no business judging trans kids when they have no idea of the process they have even to go through and what social transition entails
Thinking an 8 year old is ever going to get gcs is ridiculous no trans person would EVER advocate for that
Cool watching all the comments flowing in when you are early.
True

Idk what to comment but *i hope the person who reads this has a great day/afternoon/night!*
Your sexuality or gender is valid, dont let people tell you it´s not. *Your perfect how you are*
@@emo_grinch_440 Im glad!
Yay :D I hope you have a nice day too!
Enjoy your day 😁🌈
@Zeenat Ahmed My pleasure

I’m 13 and ftm, haven’t done anything medical but I’m much happier than I was before I transitioned. I don’t get why transphobic people care so much, if the kid realizes they’re actually not trans they can go back. The earliest age you can get testosterone where I live is 14, but they make you talk to a lot of therapists and doctors to make sure that’s the right decision for you. People need to do their research and THEN form an opinion on transgender issues.
"it's the responsibility of parents to tell a child when something isn't possible" so.... Uh when I came out at five years old as trans I was told I couldn't. Turns out I can. Just took me 17 additional years to come out again because of that initial rejection 🤔
