Ritchie is as much a gentleman off air as he was on. What the ideologically motivated medical establishment put him through is tantamount to torture. I wish him all the best with his lawsuit, and we both hope that sharing his story makes even one person reconsider this irreversible and painful "transition."
no they didnt, he went to the doctors, he asked for treatment and he wanted it, what lies did he tell to the doctors to get treatment? did he read the internet script? did he throw people born with DSD's around as a smoke screen so he could feed his own narcissism . I've been arguing with trans people and lesbians for over a decade, there are plenty of long timers in this fight against stupidity, shame he didnt listen to all those voices saying how wrong it was. Ask him, did her hear those voices and how did he respond? was he like the rest of them shouting terf and rape insults?
Sorry, no sympathy, we all should have no sympathy, people like him would unpick society
I think the people who did this to him deserve the same treatment against their will so they can live with the consequences of their decisions
@@thomascook8541 i dont think anyone forced him to take the pills, or book his appointment or travel to the hospital. Or are you suggesting the kidnapped him strapped him to a bed and just had at it because we'd all be against that, we both know that never happened
@@edenwalker5494 He was clearly mentally ill and had his illness enabled by the "professionals" and "experts" who preyed on his illness for personal gain
@@edenwalker5494 "no one forced him to volunteer to be the subject of a snuff film so what's wrong with it"
Absolute duck1ng mor0n
Hey, thank you everyone for the kind words! It's really appreciated. Connor is an absolute gent, and a very good interviewer. Thank you buddy, appreciate you letting me ramble on :) x
You are so articulate, full of never ending knowledge & have a huge part to take part is society. You speak full of genuine concern for others. You are vulnerable yet aware which you must commend yourself for. Speak soon. Amber
Thanks for sharing your story. I’m so sorry we did not protect you as a society. I hope we can turn this around as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing your story! This sounded like a nightmare, but we’re glad you made it through. Good luck in the future, we’re all rooting for you!
Make videos! You'd do well especially now that Isaac uncooked is going off the rails. @Tullip R
Amazing interview and so gut-wrenching to realize the left (my tribe) is being fed "the right wing are crazy saying people are grooming trans kids" but that is... actually happening in plain sight. Opportunists are everywhere. Everyone is being duped. My best wishes for your lawsuit and I cracked up that if your case doesn't stay pro-bono you'll assuredly be loud about fundraising. :-)
I genuinely respect Ritchie for having genuine courage, it can't be easy to talk publicly about this
Agreed. There are going to be many, many more people in the same boat as Ritchie in the coming years. My heart goes out to them all
totally agree
Its disgusting how the medical world is taking advantage of the young and the confused, instead of offering mental help they are making it worse, pushing them to destroy their bodies. They should all have their licenses revoked if not charged.
Very courageous, knowing that the trans community and 'trans-allies' are going to dogpile him for Heresy.
It just makes me think how awful it must feel to watch your child be ‘chewed up’ by all this.
I have no words. I am heartbroken for this young man.
Me too. It made me cry. My heart goes out to him
@@alimay1011 this is proof the trans movement is homophobic and dangerous ideology.
@@alimay1011 To all de - trans souls out there: Ye are beautiful and bold soul. Psalms 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Sadly deceived like we all are and once were. Keep having the boldness, and i pray that inside you shall rise up the hunger for truth, which allows you not to keep being satisfied with lies, but that ye seek out the whole truth, including seeking out GOD/CHRIST and daring to call upon His name.
Psalms 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Psalms 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Psalms 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: I pray ye don´t block me from committing time to time, even tough i am fully aware that souls, who are going through that huge shock which i could not even comprehend, would not at least for a while want to see nor hear BIBLE VERSES or anything about GOD. Here i agree with the BIBLE and also say; that too shall pass. I pray also, that GOD shall heal you, allowing you to feel joy again and boldness to end up abiding in Him.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. May you and yours shall be blessed and protected wherever life takes you and them. Amen.
Just to let all know: We have the body dysmorphia, because we are and were abused, and usually through the worst way possible: sexually abused/raped. And the outcome of this abuse is the trans movement. The endless FORNICATION with everybody. All sins have it`s consequences
and the trans movement is the biggest in our time and age.
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Acts 15:29
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
1 Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
How long will mankind FORNICATE with one another?
How long will this sick way of living continues?
How long will the “so called trust(UN)worthy DOCTORS” keep making up pointless diagnoses just to poison their own kind, human population? Can´t all these doctors see, that they end up suffering the same?
How blind and deaf can human souls be?
Everyone reads the Bible yet comes to different conclusions? because not everybody hungers for truth nor receives the Comforter.
All the wordily entertainment we all consume, shall be analysed through our SPIRIT eyes and ears:
movies - sharing signs and symbols of the masons, and the plans of the wicked.
music, -sharing signs and symbols of the masons,
sport. -sharing signs and symbols of the masons,
And as i analysed the movie named: the unlisted (2019) - already in the beginning of the movie, one of the boys got a vision / warning about the dentist , so does many souls among us in real life visions which end up being warning yet like the boy in the movie, so doing many in real life, we forget and denying the accuracies of the warning in our every day lives.
I know. When he said he eventually had the surgery my heart sunk. We are butchering people and no one is screaming STOP!! No one who has any power. I know we have some brave detransitioners speaking up but where are the politicians?!
@@galilaya42 Follow the *money* and you'll understand many evil on this world 🥺
Nuremberg 2.0 required. This evil practice of 'transing-the-gay-away' is insidious. Well done for speaking out, Ritchie
Although if you look closely a same s. Couple, one is always looking more masculine and the other feminine. Also looks only one is having a time of his life when the other party looks like toleratong/suffering. Its uncanny once you look for it.
The best thing a doctor has ever told me is that her goal is to never see me again. The more I look into the medical world, the more thankful I become that I ended up with such a good doctor. I feel terrible that Ritchie didn't get the same kind of doctor. But, through his horrible experience, I'm glad to see that he's garnered a great purpose: to warn people of the dark side of the medical world. Thank you, Ritchie. I salute you.
They're rapists.
As long as her solution to never wanting to see you again isn't the Canadian way.
@@jamescollier9196 xd
Had a doc say that to me too lol, am glad that there are more of those that still have their integrity.
My GI surgeon said the same thing to me! That's the making of a good doctor, knowing they're necessary but wishing they weren't.
"sexual lobotomy" is such an apt term.
Exactly!
Yes, in so many ways. This current generation of "gender affirming surgeons", going through uni, medical schools etc., no doubt learned how the wide spread use of lobotomy and sterilization were the ultimate evils of medical malpractice in the 20th century. But somehow they themselves magically arrived at a new peak of humanistic enlightenment whereby removing the genitalia of phychological patients was the only right thing to do.
I'm on the same medication for anxiety and am a gay man, I'm extremely grateful I didn't fall into the same trap. thank you for sharing Ritchie!
🙏Stay healthy
Glad to hear it. Hope it continues to work out for you. Anxiety is terrible and I hope you find a way to put it behind you for good
@@fab9223 luckily for me its almost completely gone.
@@fab9223 Some forms of chronic anxiety aren’t curable, and in such cases it’s just a matter of attempting to manage the symptoms. When anxiety is of psychological origin there’s always a strong chance of eliminating it entirely, but “organic” anxiety is a different kettle of fish.
There's a big scandal in how many people are being prescribed this medication and being left on it for decades. It completely messes with the chemistry in your brain, even though research now shows that anxiety and depression aren't created by a chemical imbalance in the brain, so in most cases all these meds are doing is creating an imbalance that will come to the fore as soon as you are late with a dose or try to come off them.
For many of us, anxiety is a lifelong condition that we have to learn to manage, these meds are useful as an emergency short term treatment for acute cases of anxiety or depression, but they are not suitable for long term management of chronic issues, and the medical community is slowly recognising this. Hopefully, this is only an acute case for you, but if it isn't, then I wish you luck in developing a toolkit that will help you to mute the anxious thoughts as and when they occur.
I don't think I've felt more horror than hearing his story. Ritchie and many others are cannon fodder for the collective. These people are monsters.
Monsters like SS prison guards think they are Saints.
These professionals actually believe the shit they shovel.
No child should be cut.
For any reason.
If any adult wants to put his bollocks on an anvil and hit them with a hammer crack on.
Don't drag kids into this.
Does he say that "some of them are genuine"?
We all are for the so-called "elites", they released experimental jabs worldwide, forced them, and apparently the goal wasn't to stop a certain flu cuz those jabs do everything but stopping it.
It's obvious to me that it's all part of the globalist depopulation agenda.
Genuine monsters.
Everyone involved in pushing him into this deserves to face varying degrees of criminal charges. This is absolutely horrifying, I wish him the best.
Groomers go on the wall.
@@Wicker_ I get what you’re saying, but I put more responsibility on the doctors whom performed the surgery and the therapist whom recommended it than the nurse that passed the scalpel.
@@Wicker_ I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, but in our legal system, accessory to murder isn’t the same charge as murder.
@@kristoferprovencal3608, maybe it should be. If you assisted someone so they were able to murder someone else, the fact that you didn't do the act directly doesn't change the fact that your actions made the act possible and even ensured that it would happen when it might otherwise have not been able to.
@@Wicker_ Its not actually legal, even by their standards, the therapist and doctors pushed him into irreversible treatment he did not need, I think there's easily an argument to be made for malpractice.
Dude is made of granite. Big time respect to Richie.
100%
Amen to this!!!!
And he's somehow kept his sense of humour. Guy is a true legend.
This is an eye-opening interview. The medical community needs to account for this sort of gaslighting and manipulation!
They won’t account for it. They need to be brought to account for it-lives are totally ruined by their butchery and punishments need to be up to and including the gallows in some cases.
money
I’m a nurse and totally agree. Medical community knows this is wrong and the docs / nurses going along with it are doing it for money/clout.
I work connected to the emergency department at a trauma one hospital. Many of the young people coming in for anxiety/depression/SI are dealing with gender issues. People won’t give them the truth and want to sell them lies 😢
The medical community lol 😂
Drug dealers more like
Where are the parents? I would never consent to this in an underage child.
I’m neutered. When I heard these words from the guest I felt great sadness
I love Richie. He shines bright. You see the light in his eyes. We love you Richie
The way the butcher/surgeon sat with his back to Rickie...and two other victims, only communicating through a nurse prior to the butchery says everything aBout the narcissists and nutjobs involved in these crimes against humanity being passed off as health care!
They're psychos and should be in a secure prison.
Many in the medical community giving approval and encouraging this are guilty as well, they need to be more more mindful of what they are pushing, even if mildly, and accountable for that.
Sounds like he couldn't face his victim who he was mutiliate.
Ritchie has a lovely speaking voice. It's a crime what has been done to this lovely gent.
Geordie & Mackem accents are so appealing and easy to listen to😍
People need to hear the surgery part. This is what people need to understand.
My respect and admiration for Ritchie grows with each interview that I watch. His compassion, wisdom and humour make him so likeable. He manages to tell his harrowing story without recourse to victim hood, despite the fact that he is undoubtedly a victim of extraordinary medical malpractice. Connor did a great job there, really lovely. I could see he was holding back tears (I had enough streaming for both of us) at the end. Touching. I hope Ritchie wins his case and the NHS stop letting ideology dictate clinical practice.
This is heartbreaking. He has very good descriptive skills with the amount of pain he must be experiencing.
Bottom surgery sounds like castration with extra steps.
Compared to the butchery they performed on him, castration is just a simple snip.
@@anhedonianepiphany5588 21st century is when the Hippocratic oath was abandoned in the west.
It is the spin doctors marketing slavery and eunuchs as fighting the system look at the people who beleive they are fighting for freedom they all want slavery and ownership
It's mutilation end of
It is. It is messing up your insides as well. Operation is always risky and I think trans people should have a special reason for it like a relationship. Otherwise what is the point if one does not need it.
Ritchie’s story is so heartbreaking. I certainly hope he succeeds in his lawsuit. Those monsters need to be held accountable. I wish him good health and a bright future.
I'm glad you guys made this a free video.
It's an important testimony.
Good lord, this surgery should be illegal, not just for children, but everyone.
I kind of disagree, because we have age limit on tattoos, piercings, several kinds of body modifications, plastic surgeries of several kinds, implants placed under the skin like breast implants, muscle implants, and so on. Why would you ban adults from having aesthetical surgeries? I would certainly made it absolutely privately paid, and that already puts a limit on it. Maybe also require a psychological certification of no mental illness, idk. But you can't just ban it for adults, imo. When it is an aesthetic operation they can also admit that it is not functional. It looks like one but does not function like one. Clear case.
@@moma-b because its essentially still an experimental surgery with a 60% failure rate and almost always requires revisions- it is really an "unsuccessful" procedure and no one should have deal with surgeons playing God. This isn't a "life saving" surgery, it a botched half job cosmetic procedure with major major life altering consequences- consequences that aren't just cosmetic.
@@moma-bi always agreed with you until he described it and it really is trying to modify an internal organ. Breast implants and muscles can come out. This interview is making me rethink my perspective
This is an amazingly sensitively conducted interview. Props to Connor. And Ritchie elucidates his story so very well. My heart goes out to him being herded by "experts" into transition based on their mystical thinking motivated by medical tyranny. Thankyou for sharing your story Richie - this is such an important story.
Whag does he say about it?
"some of them might be genuine"
No.
Apart from the near slip-up at the 0:11 mark, where Connor almost said it took balls for Ritchie to come on the show.
@@baldieman64 hahaha oh shit that would genius if that's true and he quickly changed it.
This is Connor’s best work to date.
The motivations of the medical establishment are predicated upon the motivations of the ruthless gender ideologues who take magical thinking to new extremes. That this tiny minority of genuine trans people who are politically active have swayed a significant proportion of the population into supporting their crazy agendas says more about the vulnerability of society to nefarious influence than it does about the radical activists themselves.
Ritchie has such beautiful humility and honesty. We are lucky to have him.
What a great talk. Disgusted with this medical malpractice inflicted upon thousands of children and young adults all over the country.
I saw Ritchie on Blair White's channel and my heart broke into pieces for him. He is not only one of the bravest people of the moment, he's smart, funny, insightful and easy on the eye, too!
I wish you the best of everything, Ritchie. You're a warrior!
I have respect for people who warn others about things they feel harmed them, it’s true bravery
Richie - you have no idea just how much you are 'needed'. You are needed by the thousands of boys and girls whose lives are going to be ruined while vultures get fat living off young peoples' confusions. Thank you for your bravery and eloquence.
”TikTokers got free surgery for promoting the clinic.” That’s either the funniest sad thing or the saddest funny thing I’ve ever heard. That’s seriously some dystopian s**** right there. Straight from the pages of Babylon Bee
My friend got plastic surgery from a well respected hospital because they need people for surgeons to do their first surgeries for board certification done while under supervision of an expert surgeon. Well she got a face lift then a nose job which blew her facelift out because of swelling and that led to revision surgery which damaged her neck and breathing. She suffered and came to regret her decision. It's a slippery slope and once down that path your body cannot be repaired and these people may live with pain, humiliation, guilt, family condemnation. Vulnerable people told "oh this will solve all your problems" are being lied to. Plus patients in elective surgeries need to have informed consent of what these body changing surgeries will create. It's very difficult to get a jury sympathetic to elective surgery damages in civil suits. Most personal injury lawyers won't agree to represent those clients.
@@WindTurbineSyndrome The suffering of the mind can never be solved with external surgeries. Never.
@@verabolton 100000000000%
This experience can happen to an adult. Let that sink in. The establishment wants this for young teens.
I genuinely hope this lad has a long, happy life.
I am sorry for his suffering, and I hope he finds peace .
Ritchie has great courage for showing up to talk about this. Obviously this will make him an enemy of the cult, but the less vocal majority is absolutely on Ritchie's side. Good job to Connor as well for organizing & competently conducting the interview.
The lefties will hate that this goes against their usual narratives, and they'll hate how respectful all these comments are, united in wishing Ritchie well, great interview, a real eye opener, thank you for sharing Ritchie
Real trans people do exist, though, just not as many as the current trend suggests. One story is not an excuse to pretend it doesn't happen. Then again, anyone who thinks the problem is "lefties" vs the right and not rich vs poor has no critical thinking skills.
@@cl5470 a critical thinker would have the intelligence to know when they come across stereotypes and what is intended when generalisations are used. If you don't understand left from right then just say so.
Many of the women fighting the trans industry are lefties. So it's not really accurate to make sweeping statements about leftie narratives. What exactly is the usual leftie narrative anyway?
WTF please do not use this brave man's experience to further your own political agenda!! Did you not learn anything from what he said about labs and identity. My politics are to the left and you know nothing about my narrative. I think what happened to Richie is horrific. I know many people on the left who would feel the same.
@@redmoon8217 if you were correct, isn't it funny that the leftie silence is deafening. Stop trying to play "nothing to do with us" and just accept that when things get too liberal things fall apart. And gender and identity politics is a weapon of the left
im horrified by this sick ideology its a evil cult, i hope all the best for Ritchie and his case.
Ritchie is intelligent, well-spoken, educated on the history of the topic and compelling. Well done coverage of a frustrating topic. Wishing him the best ❤
Connor - this is some of your best work you’ve done. You did such an amazing job getting Ritchie’s story out. I’m so glad you had him in studio. I’ve seen other interviews with him but in person really made a difference. Thank you.
Hear Hear!
I love how you just let Ritchie talk and tell his story without interrupting at all. I found myself hanging on to his every word. So articulate and so honest.
As a Mum, I found this to be utterly heart-wrenching to listen to. I just want to wrap Ritchie up in a very very very long hug. Its an absolute travesty as to what he has suffered through. History is going to judge as as the obscene monsters that we are, for allowing this, encouraging this and doing this to our kids. And yes, that includes people like myself (and presumably anyone watching this video). Just because we hate this, just because we don't support it, even if we speak out, protest, fight like demons against it - we will still get lumped in with the rest - that's just how history is written. We are allowing a bunch of filthy perverted predators to indulge to their hearts contents - at the direct cost of our kids. Its mind boggling to realize what is happening, here.
What a courageous and articulate young man. The so-called professionals and system that pushed him down this route need to be destroyed.
This is a difficult listen but worth the time. I wish him well.
Respect to both Connor and Ritchie for this nice intervieuw. I think Connor did a nice job. Showed compassion and let Ritchie talk when he needed to and asked questions where he felt it was needed. Dispite Ritchie's situation I think he still has a massive set of balls to be able to talk about his experience like this and with sueing these scumbags. I wish him the best!
I've heard Ritchie speak about his experiences as misdiagnosed transgender and every time he brings new facts and aspects of his harrowing experience to light. I'm glad that he continues to speak so openly and honestly about what happened to him. He's a remarkably articulate and intelligent young man. I hope that at some point he can find peace and heals from all of this trauma.
The secret to labels is to wear them loosely and not let them define you. Other people will label you however they choose, but you get to decide how much you care about your labels. If you try to reject them they will rule your life just as much as if you try to live up to them.
No, the secret to labels is, that they are mainly used to discriminate and osteracize, and deflect from the real issues.
It's your obligation to kick people out of your life who use this manipulation tactic.
I developed a lot of health issues (cancer) due to exposure to f**** up people (narcs). I'm in recovery from the abuse.
Rest of society can play their stupid label games, but without me.
That’s a nice approach - just been taking to a gay friend who has never felt gay or straight enough - but he is cool as he is to me - athletic, artistic, psssionste and adventurous
I was born in the 80s, am gay and have OCD...although I was more gender conforming as a boy. With my robots and building robots and avoiding girly things.
I'm so glad that I kept everything hidden until my 20s. I can only imagine what would have happened if I was boy growing up today.
I've actually seen this happening in comment sections on RUclips. I saw one guy mentioned he was definitely straight despite enjoying spending time with his sisters doing feminine activities.
The amount of Trans jumping the poor guy and trying to convince him he must be trans too was sinister.
A couple of people tried to intervene but got branded as transphobes.
The trans community honestly scare me, they hate themselves so much that they feel need to make everyone be like them just to feel better
I saw a video on tiktok about this gay teenage boy joking that he wished he was lesbian instead (romanticizing lesbian relationships bc he disliked the gay male hookup culture and desired an actual monogamous relationship)
The trans cult infiltrated the comments telling him he could be a lesbian if he wanted to.
“Who’s gonna tell him”
“That’s what I thought but then I actual became one haha”
“You’re probably trans bro”
Just purely insane.
Did you hear thé part how "works" thé "approach " one "panel of experts " connected with dubious others groups "listening " and asking photos...to "affirm " is a process...why the most quickly group are autistic??? Do you really think the kids "nourrish " by spoons of narrative can really focus in your argument?...thé first imposition is secrecy...isolated and "guided" only deal "with the conséquences " is the price...
Eff them then we are phobes
Well I think if I encounter trans people like that, I would totally define me as a transphobic because this kind of behavior scares the sh*t out of me.
Same as pedophile, is there a word for fearing them? Like pedophobic? Because I sure am phobic of them.
Or psychopath? Psychopath phobic?
Same.
Narcissistphobic?
I am scared of people like these.
Manipulativephobic.
Hypocritephobic,
Raperphobic.
I am scared of all of them!!!!
They destroy lives of people on their way, I am afraid of this.
I saw the same thing when a man was saying he liked dressing femininely and doing make, and they almost tried to convince him that he was trans. It's crazy ironically they are the most obsessed with gender roles and stereotypes.
Ritchie is a very gifted speaker. He is so eloquent and thoughtful, and I appreciate when he searches sensitively for accurate meaning and good analogies. He has so much to offer the world with these gifts alone. Best of luck Ritchie! Your friends are lucky to have such a thoughtful and emotionally wise person in their lives. I will be following.
Yes a lot of de transitioners are so well spoken and eloquent, makes it 10x heartbreaking knowing such good intelligent people felt for this and got hurt.
I love listening to Ritchie. He's so eloquent and intelligent.
You are a brave man. Thank you for contributing to the world.
I knew it would be nightmarish but its something else to hear it from a victim
I rarely few compelled to comment, but I am truly in awe of the strength that Ritchie shows to be able to tell his story and continue on after being done so wrong by the system which was supposed to help him. His courage and stoicism are inspiring.
Every single person that is contemplating transitioning NEEDS to be made to watch this interview. Because I don't think people are told all the things that can go wrong, or told that maybe they have underlying issues which have nothing to do with gender dysmorphia.
I’m so proud of this brave man. He is helping so many people with his honesty and brave testimony. Please keep going Ritchie - you are helping more people than you realise.
To hear Ritchie talk of grief is heart wrenching... my 8yr old son is still grieving for his daddy whom we lost to cancer during the lockdown in a nursing home, so we couldn't say goodbye.
I pray Ritchie will go on to live a life full of love, happiness, and creativity.🙏
Much love, and admiration for your courage, Ritchie 💕
Fantastic interview. Ritchie's story is heartbreaking, but I'm so glad he got to tell it and meet Connor. I wish him all the best.
Ritchie, thanks for articulating your story. I hope you find happiness in your near future.
I can't help but feel incredibly sad that Richie went through this. I'm sorry that nobody challenged him from these medical institutions. I'm ashamed that people like him are getting treated like the great Satan for doing nothing wrong.
Was listening to this while cleaning the kitchen. Think I might have stopped the video if I hadn't been preoccupied as it is such a difficult listen. Can't believe Ritchie's come out of this as balanced as he is. If I had to guess, the drive to stop this madness destroying more lives is what's keeping him going. Brave lad.
I hope / believe one day appropriate justice will meet those pushing this ideology.
The idea I would change my genitalia and then regret it, is honestly the biggest nightmare I can imagine. I feel so sorry this happened to you.
Millions of men do not even have that choice thanks to circumcision.
@@PungiFungi little bit different to cutting it off though don't you think?
Much respect to Ritchie. He's helped more people than he will ever realise.
What frustrates me about this subject is that, from a psychological perspective, transitioning isn't actually solving the problem. Just because something is a solution doesn't mean it's addressing the cause. Cutting off your leg is technically a solution to a stubbed toe. The underlying psychological issues are what need to be addressed.
Ritchie’s lived experience breaks my heart. The pressure placed on him to have surgery - God what are we as a society doing? Thank you for your bravery to speak out Ritchie. Sending positive energy to you.
Lived experience 🙄🙄
Thank you for using your experiences to help others that might be tempted to do the same as you. I'd imagine it would be much easier to just give in to despair and give up, but I have all the respect in the world that you are willing to speak out and try and do good.
Feeling like a freak led him down the trans path, which ultimately resulted in him feeling unfathomably freakier. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be for him now to intentionally drag himself into the public eye. His altruistic imperative must be very strong indeed. There’s obviously tremendous bravery present, which most certainly deserves enormous respect.
@@anhedonianepiphany5588 I've noticed this line of thinking a lot more recently. It's definitely been around since the dawn of time, but it's now getting so much attention, I'm beginning to wonder if it's turning into a social disease. Worse of all, it's getting normalized to push them further down the hole, instead of trying to help pick them back up. Biggest offenders in that regard being fat acceptance and trans.
Thank you both for such an amazing interview! ❤️🙏✌🏻
honestly this dude has a very pleasant voice, he could have a whole radio show tbh
Amazing talk, well done Connor. You usually come off as a bit sharp and 'black and white'. I was a bit uncomfortable and unsure if you were the right man for this interview at first but it was heartwarming to see a softer side. I have seen Richie talk before and his story is shocking and worthy of sympathy but I love the way that he rejects victimhood. You were the perfect man for the interview Connor, an interviewer should let the interviewee speak which you did beautifully. I am proud of you and will view you differently in future ❤️
Damned incredible interview to the both of you's. Hope everything goes incredibly for Ritchie, and by the degree of maturity, honesty, and resilience exhibited I'm sure my hopes will be met.
the whole affair is so pathological I can't really believe that the "professionals" involved aren't mentally ill
I've seen my own insides, been around dead and dismembered people and animals, and never have I felt more uncomfortable and so close to fainting as I have listening to Richie recall seeing the aftermath of his surgery.
This man is a legend.
I am in a state of shock having listened to Ritchie's story. I never quite understood the realities of these medical processes, and ideologies. Very brave ,highly intelligent and articulate man.
thanks for not including a minute long 'coming up in this interview' section like every other channel does these days.
One of several reasons I do not want to keep following the gay community (though I am gay myself and happily with my boyfriend) is reasons like this. I knew several people who transitioned to other genders while part of it, and didn't really question it if they ever changed their minds. Then I recall someone in that group who had transitioned just disappeared one day. I found out some time later they just didn't want to come back to the community, because they realized their mistake, wanted to de-transition, and was scorned by that community for it, ostracized from the group.
That was one of several reasons, the nail of course being the progression of woke culture within it.
Ritchie, is really a brave young man. I too am hopeful that he is successful in his lawsuit.
Ritchie is a hero to blow the whistle on what they did to him.
asa man who despises trans ideology i feell genuinely sorry for what this nice young guy, his physical health and life have been destroyed by a cruel ideology.
That poor lad, he's been let down by so many health professionals.
THANK YOU for this open, honest and much needed conversation!
How does a child stand a chance... Thank you, Ritchie, for bringing this to light it took loads of courage to be vulnerable to tell us the truth xxx
Thank you for sharing this and for giving Ritchie a space to discuss this.
Ritchie is a beautiful human being. I feel sad this happened to him. I wish him all the luck in the world. He is still here to stand out and help others who may be thinking of going down the path he unfortunately was encouraged to follow. Thank you Connor for an outstanding interview with Ritchie.
Listening to Richie talk about all of this, is just devestating.
I really, really, hope no one tries to attack this person. I've been through it, in quite a different way, but I don't think I could talk about it on a high traffic show like Richie just did. Listening to his voice shake, I know I would be the same.
I can only hope he's feeling a little better and has sunny days ahead.
Brave lad, telling an important story. I hope other people in the position Ritchie was in can gain some insight from his story.
This guy is eloquent, brave and should be listened to by the Left, the Right and everyone in-between. I feel for him and wish him success and peace of mind. Good luck mate.
Conner, this may be the most important work you do. It's a superb job.
Ritchie, you are a lovely bloke.
Ritchie hit the nail on the head at 35:00--It's escapism, people trying to get away from their current situation.
My heart breaks for this poor man. This hell is what they call “gender affirming care.” Keep fighting it!
I don't know how this popped into my suggestion feed but it is a gift and an education.
Thank you Richie and Lotus Eaters.
Damn!!! Damn, Ritchie! Often a person who is spotlighted will fade their background story if telling it multiple times. You have succeeded at bringing it to focus in a way that any walk of life can understand. Good on you. Thank you for taking the time to continue to educate us all. You are appreciated.
Richie's story is genuinely heartbreaking. It's good to hear there is finally some pushback happening to all this horror. I wish Richie all the best for the future and in his legal case.
Thanks for speaking out, this interview will save countless lives!
Why would someone considering mutilating themselves be watching the lotus eaters. Unfortunately, like this guy, they don't realise till they look down and reality hits them. That realisation must be awful.The ones that can still live with themselves are like Ritchie. The others I assume would sink into deep despair and off themselves.
@@spyzmusic it’s possible that someone hears about Richie and in the stage which Richie was for 2.5 years saying “No” to surgery but being pressured to change his mind. If they start to look for info they could find this interview and many others.
I wish him great success. What a wonderful guy he is.
What a nightmare it must be. To be convinced that you are someone else and going about itthe firthest one could go. My condolences to the man he used to be. And a warm welcome back.
My heart goes out to you Ritchie, I sincerely wish you the best of luck with your future and the lawsuit.
Such a lovely, articulate man. Thank you for giving him the time and respect he deserves.
What happened to "First, do no harm"?
It disappeared nearly 3 years ago
Money more money
This evil insanity masquerading as compassion needs to stop! 😠
What a great guy. I feel so bad for him But still a great guy even after everything he's been through.
I wonder if that awful woman who runs Scotland would have a change of heart if she sat with a child and witness this stuff for herself x
she wont.
Good on ya Conner
When I first saw ya come on lotus eaters I appreciated you for just your more shitposter-y, young and christian/traditionalist perspectives you were bringing, but I think this interview showed me more of your respectful and journalistic sides.
This was tough but necessary, and I thank you for showing me this.
