Such lovely people. I don’t know why I find detransitioners so great. Maybe the fact that they managed to get out of a cult by themselves shows some serious bravery and intelligence.
This was helpful in trying to understand the entire "trans" phenomena. I'm happy these women are dealing with reality and will be happier once they accept their true selves.
if the beeping is intended to protect children's imaginations of what to apply in their life - Sylvie's self harm dreams could have been beeped out. ...I had similar associations myself. it brought me back to these memories. and i know: this self harm dream stuff is also contagues if you expose children to it. should we beep it out for that reason if we have tough topic conversations? no. like swearwords.
i suspect they have to bleep the “vulgarities” in order to allow the video to reach the widest audience. But, good note on the relative volume of the beep…
RUclips can take a video down if it has particular swears that are not offensive to British or Irish ears, but which are considered extremely offensive to American audiences
@@WonderfulWorldofAwesomeness believe me I have heard many Ritchie Interviews on plenty channels and they are all unedited and not with geo-restrictions since they come from US hosts. If you'd argue with the customs of your audience I'd see you. But I am convinced it wouldn't be the platform, with them I am more stressed if they d suppress the whole topic as they obviously not do completely, maybe per algorithm, maybe not even on purpose.

Thanks to all the people who spoke so openly about their personal experiences!! I’m shocked about the severe health issues that are ignored by dr’s!!? And the aggressive behaviour of the t community towards R when she stopped T due to life threatening health problems. Unbelievable… Wish you all the very best!!
Thank you for this. 7:27 I was raised to accept myself as a lesbian by my family, but the homophobia in the mainstream community and how much it contrasted with the idolatry of gay men made me want to be a gay man instead. I thought I was only attracted to men, but after transitioning I realised I was always bisexual (my messing with hormones was very short lived because I realised my sexuality before I started hrt so it was easy to go back to being soft butch). 12:55 I did the exact same with my therapy too. Because I believedI was trutrans amongst a lot of toocute fakers, it never occurred to me to hide my sexual assaults or the sibling rivalry for my parents affection growing up. All my difficulties were framed as a symptom of gender dysphoria. 49:33 I realised I was bisexual because I wanted to date a feminine trans man but not a trans woman. 55:18 great question! I spent years as an adult trying to pretend to be girly, but only when specific people were around. I still do it when I don’t feel safe with people i don’t know very well. On my own I don’t perform femininity anymore. It’s really sad that women view lesbians in such a negative light. I was also one complimented when I gave in to the pressure to wear dresses and I also got gifts that weren’t what I wanted. 1:00:11 yes I wanted to be invisible and go stealth. I’m bisexual so I would’ve dated another trans man or bisexual man, but I didn’t transition because I wanted attention. I wanted to be “normal”.
Just 30min in and already have to say: Absolutely great talk, as sad as it is to hear more about these tragic experiences detransitioning people went and still go through. I can relate to so much bc I was a mentally very unwell teen and young adult, experienced a lot of what Ritchie was talking of. I‘m grateful that in my country gender affirming care had not „progressed“ like it is today. I definitely would have fallen prey to this, had it been as promoted as today. As a teen/young adult you jump to anything that could offer you an explanation for the pain and go along w any suggested treatment that seemed helpful or even seem to be THE only way to go to get happier, to be in another place. The imagination of being a more bearable self, a more fitting self to this world etc is so taunting. But extremely destructive with the whole mindset that comes along w it and is heavily propagated in fhe community… An artificial world, reality with so unhealthy ideas of who we are as humans and so much denial, ignorance and very inhumane tendencies. No authentic emotions are accepted. You have to feel and say what the „community“ is pushing you to, zero tolerance or autheticity, a lot of anger turned against anyone who‘s trying to question the idea of becoming „a true self“ that leads you as far away from your original self… That is only one obvious contradiction the extreme ideologists are blurring out, repeating it loudly, aggressively. It‘s a shame how so many suffering young people are denied proper help this way and later have to deal w a disfigured body on top of the initial issues and the trauma from botched surgeries for some. It‘s difficult to hear how stealth transpeople experience being treated w more respect in daily life than prior to trans‘ing… Also I wasn‘t aware of the level of homophobia in our society😱 Terrifying!!
These stories completely controdict my testosterone expeince. I know one other person who had the same experience as me. It's crazy Testosterone can effect people so differently.
2:17:35 In other words, they're say you detransitioned because you just didn't get enough propaganda from trans activists. The pro-trans activists who deny detransition are just like the politician with widely unpopular policies who blames the problem on lack of effective communication about these policies no one likes.
Nevermind, found the article, yes it's Halberstam. I was surprised to see that statement as she's always been flirting with trans. But she tried to stake out some kind of stone butch/drag king middle ground in the "butch/ftm border wars" and always defended butch lesbians against raging TRAs. She's also still against the transitioning of minors as far as I know. But yeah now that she cut her breasts off all the "queer allies" in academia permanently switched to "Jack" and "he". Butler is apparently a "they" now too but unlike Halberstam Butler always hated women, lesbians and feminists, it just oozes through her writing.
13:54 I find it utterly impossible to imagine the state of mind of your therapist in that situation. 14:20 That didn’t take long to change. I have just imagined a very plausible, and thoroughly despicable possible reason a gay therapist would advance such an explanation for someone else’s same-sex attraction.

Brilliantly insightful as always
One hundred and thirty six thumbs and counting!
thank you all for speaking out!
i am just a little disappointed you covered Ritchie's swearwords in SO LOUD beeps instead of keeping them in.
if the beeping is intended to protect children's imaginations of what to apply in their life - Sylvie's self harm dreams could have been beeped out.
...I had similar associations myself. it brought me back to these memories.
and i know: this self harm dream stuff is also contagues if you expose children to it. should we beep it out for that reason if we have tough topic conversations? no. like swearwords.

That is an interesting take, but that is certainly not what censoring individual expletives is about.
RUclips can take a video down if it has particular swears that are not offensive to British or Irish ears, but which are considered extremely offensive to American audiences

@HelloWorld wow. Testosterone had 0 effect on me until 8 months of being on the Gel.

The truth does set you free, after all.
What’s it called when things are too easy to understand for us to remember them when we need to?
28:22 Don’t scare me like that Stella, I thought the whole video was ending just then!
Where is the "Anime as Gateway" even mentioned in this video? I can only find it being mentioned to Abel and him dismissing it with a simple no.
Jesus Christ, every part of this needs to be a clip

Who is Carol talking about about 3h in? Halberstam?

Sara Ahmed is one of the worst academic TRAs ever but she didn't trans as far as I know (and was never remotely butch)
