I love how Dan is out here doing his best to be a good person and an ally in spite of the baggage that comes with his legacy. He seems like such a genuinely good guy
That is indeed the best thing you can do. You don't waffle around trying to apologize or making up some kind of excuse for it, you do something that shows that you are no longer part of that legacy. At the end of the day, Daniel going out and actually /listening/ to people within these groups instead of doing the easy thing of saying "I stand with you, thoughts and prayers lol" shows that he has a lot more backbone than half the "allies" that say they do.
It feels like he is very intentionally using his fame and history with HP to raise trans voices and really putting in the work to be a good ally. It makes me tear up when I think about it too hard. 🥹💕
@@EzraM5 It's been hard, but I'm trying to be an ally since I don't want to be a bad person 😢. I have a question: If I see a man wearing women's clothes, and I still know for sure that he is a man (I just f****** know!! 😭). Anyway... would it be enough to pretend that he is a woman (I mean SHE is a woman), or do I have to actually believe it? Do you guys have any advice? Thank You ❤🌈
Dan's "hello, fellow kids" at the end absolutely sent me. 😂I've meant to watch this episode since it was first released and I'm so glad that I finally did. What a great discussion.
Who cares, he's wrong. Women cannot be men and men cannot be women. I've always supported someone's right to express themselves, but don't bullshit and say that men can be women or women can be men.
@@sampreece As someone from a region where trans folks have been part of our society for literally centuries, it's so weird that people like you deny their existence. Just because you and your society have been ignorant enough to not recognise them until now doesn't mean they don't exist. And they don't turn into anyone, that's who they are.
I felt like this wasn’t super charged with pain or desperation. Often trans discussions are stressful and exploitative. It was relaxed and hopeful and so helpful for me as a cis person watching and learning.
I suppose trans discussions are often stressful because there’s someone within the discussion who acts as a debater and they play the devil’s advocate. There’s not usually just a space for people to have good vibes and explain themselves without having to be on the defensive.
It means so much that Daniel so genuinely supports us and makes an effort to be a part of these conversations. Thank you Dan and thanks to all my trans peers who spoke in this video!
Dan is such a real one. Knows when to listen, sits patiently and lets everyone get their thoughts out, and not an ounce of bigotry in him. Such a wholesome human
We as the actual gay community used to make this very argument, that stereotypical likes, interests didn’t equate to somebody’s sexuality or identity. Now there pushing to alter hormones and surgically operate on kids for not conforming to stereotypes. Absolutely awful. Sex is immutable.
It's a biological fact that humans don't change sex. How can you demand that people believe that a man is actually a woman if you're not in a cult? What you call transitioning is nothing but the enactment of a set of sexist stereotypes. There's nothing wrong in being a man. I'm man myself, regardless of my preferences, and being a man is not an offense. You can dress whatever you want if it is appropriate for the circumstance, nobody cares. But it is not a human right to require people to lie and disregard the safeguarding of children and women based on what a person claims or thinks about him-herself or what they are wearing.
@@english3082 no one is changing their sex. your sex is different than your gender, and that's a fact that's backed by every leading medical organization. when someone is trans, their gender is different from their sex, which often makes them uncomfortable, so they transition to feel more in tune with their body and who they truly are. it's not that hard of a concept to understand.
@@english3082 First learn the difference between sex, and gender. Then, piss off with your antiquated & backwards view of the world, and take your concern trolling over the “safeguarding of children, and women” with you. Trans people are people, and are no different than anyone else.
This is the kind of loving support we need (especially on trans visibility day). Thank you so much for being safe and trustworthy, Dan. It means more than you know.
Yes, hope for a world where gender means nothing! I can’t wait, personally. It sounds like heaven. Like John Lennon said “Imagine no more genders”. It’s just, well, wonderful! ❤🎉
I heard that he had his cochlear implant disconnected the whole time but that’s because he wanted to “listen” and not be distracted from these wonderful stories of hope and redemption. He lip reads, by the way. It’s just so wonderful. ❤❤❤❤❤
Dan Radcliffe has such a big heart, if I ever meet him I will probably burst into tears. He is obviously all too aware of what it means for him to be the one affirming trans young people by taking part in this. Even though he's not the focus, this makes such a powerful statement against the hate spread by certain people connected with the legacy he grew up a part of. An absolute gem.
Radcliffe doesn’t give a shit. If he did, he would at the very least question these kids more who seem to think if u don’t like blue, you’re not a boy. He wouldn’t just nod placidly along , knowing the irreversible changes they will enact on their bodies if they continue believing this crap.
I always understood the idea of dead-naming (not by that term) because my name has a very common shortening that I HATE. The worst thing in the world is when someone just refuses when you say "don't call me XYZ, I don't like" and they KEEP DOING IT. It is so demeaning and infuriating.
As someone with a long name I've had similar issues in terms of how people say my full name or some nicknames of it, so I understand the pain trans people feel when they're called something they tell people not to call them.
I came up with a good solution for people who for whatever reason decide they are going to change their gender, pronouns, etc.... I just don't associate with them anymore. These people need help that I just can't give them by simply cowering to their constantly changing "identity". I just pretend like they don't exist as best as I can. It's called the "grey rock" technique for responding to abusers. A particularly egregious case was with a coworker who cut her hair, changed to they/them, got a promotion, and began yelling at coworkers for not affirming her new identity, all in the same week. I like my job, and so I simply stopped talking about her or to her. I completely ignored her except for "Yes" and "No" answers when absolutely necessary. These people have the woke power structures behind them, and so it's all you can do at this time while keeping your job. In the meantime, when you go home from a job like this, make sure you write your representatives to voice your opinion about coerced language, child mutilation, and all the rest of it. And research the companies that take a stand against Pride and support them! But at work, just grey rock them! Ignore the abusers
@@heldinahtmlhellthey didn’t say it was the worst thing in the world. They said it is infuriating and demeaning. Things can be bad whilst also not being the worst they could be. Keep building those strawpeople 😂
i think it's so important that Dan went and did this considering the situation in the UK... I know i shouldn't thank someone for just showing basic human decency but i can't help being truly grateful for this, for him openly taking a position on this matter and being a shield for trans kids, for giving them a space where they can openly talk about their experience, for spreading kindness and understanding... and also for the Trevor Project for all they do to help trans youth. Thank you.
@@grungehog The British press is infamous for being a refuge for upper-class failchildren, who for some reason decided to hate trans people. And because they're all part of the same incestuous club, they all back each other up in their bigotry.
@@grungehog Oh a lot of stuff, there was the time she declared that it was dangerous to presume that people were innocent (in the context of trans people specifically). In other words, Rowling has gone on record with the sentiment that we should assume trans people specifically are guilty.
Popping back here in the wake of JKR's open criticism of Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe. May we all treat our trans siblings with the openness, respect, and love Dan displays in this video.
Allowing these kids to live in delusion isn't love. Love is being honest. No you can't become a man or woman just because you say so. We have and need norms and "rules" in a functioning society. Example being I can't just walk in and fly an airplane because I've been struggling with my identity and identify as a pilot. I can't identify as the president or an animal or a cloud and expect to be taken seriously in society.
@@TiltyfishPoker I don’t know, as a society, we often let children explore who they are, how they want to live, and who they hope to be. Plenty of children pretend to be pilots or dinosaurs or mothers or have imaginary friends. It’s an important part of growing and learning. Of course, identifying as a pilot is very different from flying a plane without proper training and a license, but no trans people identify as trans without experience living as a trans person. In general I don’t care if you identify as a pilot or a cloud or a cat as long as you aren’t putting anyone in danger. See the difference?
@@TiltyfishPoker That's your argument? to make comparisons taken out of context? Back to reality, trans women are trying hard and risking everything they have for their identity? Be just like them, if you identify as a pilot then at least try to become a pilot, go to pilot school and learn to be a pilot. If you identify yourself as a cat, stop thinking, stop giving opinions and using social networks because cats don't do that, start acting and talking like a cat and start a catification treatment and a cognitive reduction brain surgery, it's not just a matter of saying it, GET IT!!!
Bollocks. Radcliffe is a scared and ungrateful small man. He should have stood by J K Rowling instead of dissing her. He's just going along with all this transgender nonsense and gender identity nonsense because he's scared of offending anyone and wants to look cool. Problem is he really believes it. It shows how stupid he is. He's been brainwashed by the looney left.
@@marlowemarlowe4893 Dearest...please tell me where you obtained your PhD in human behavior, human biology, and/or your medical degree in endocrinology. Trans folks have always been with us. Why are there more now, you ask? Because it's safer to come out thus they are more visible. But so often you wouldn't know someone was trans if you just met them on the street. Live & let live, babe.
Happy Transgender Day of Visibility. 56 year old TransWoman. 3 things that Do Not Lie: Children, drunks, and spandex. We knew as children we where different. By our teen years, we knew Exactly what we are. Even if we where still figuring out Who we are...
I love that Daniel Radcliffe is showing, publicly, that he is a trans ally, especially after all the BS with JK Rowling. Sending so much love to Dan and these incredibly brave trans youth 🥰🥰
Wonderful video! I’m not directly trans myself but I do fall under that umbrella as a demigirl and so I partially resonated with some of their experiences and feelings and struggles to understand themselves growing up and I’m happy that they know who they are because it took me a lot longer to figure myself out. Mad respect for Dan and his support of the community as well, it means a lot to see people like him in support and actually doing something about it.
It's so good to see Dan stand up and actually listen to the trans community ❤ it's a really nice piece of video:) all of them were so nice and thoughtful, I really love this ✨
I am an older millennial trans individual who struggled for years to NOT crack my egg. I tried so damn hard to just be what people wanted me to be. A couple years ago i gave up fighting and started embracing who i really am. And i cried soo dang much at this video. When the one person talked about having someone in their family embrace them and be like “I’ve always known, I’ve been waiting for you”… i never had that. I would have loved for my parents and grandparents to have seen those behaviors in me as a kid and embraced me instead of scorned me. We fight for a better future for those who come next. Sorry for the ramble… this had been a very trying year to be trans
@@english3082 and you don't need to be an asshole, and yet, here we are Also no one said anything about cutting anything off... stop being weird about it. But since you started that topic I think you will find it interesting that most transexual people do not have any operations done
I "fell in Love with Dan" with the Harry Potter series - and then he grew into an individual whom I grew to respect, as an adult - thanks to the various roles he chose to perform. As one who's spent more than 70.5 'trips around the Sun', knowing that I was Gay, around 5 years of age (and not knowing that thee was a word for how I felt), I can only applaud him for being an ally to our community. My humblest Thank You, for your support!
Yes... he is anything but a good guy and embraces lower social aspects of society. But him pushing for child mutilation is low even for someone like him.
Another bot account comment pushing lies that people accept this Evil When clearly they don't. Evil is evil and Dr John Money the creator of gender ideology was Evil as F.
I'm gonna be honest, this came across my Facebook feed, and just watching the trailer, i felt a little more heard; I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's stories
These kids aren't very well-spoken yet, but you can tell their words really came from the heart, and it was nice to see Dan so willing to listen. Young trans people need to be allowed to speak for themselves instead of always being spoken about.
As an LGBT+ person who grew up along side those Dan’s age it means the world to me he did this. It was so hard to grow up in the 90s and be a part of the LGBT+ community and try and find yourself, you never really felt like you fit in…it was so good to know someone who is so meaningful from our era understands, or at least cares about the community. It really made me feel like someone I grew up with, was turning to me, and saying I see you and you matter. 💕 Thanks Dan. Also thank you to these young kids who will grow the next generation one day…one who won’t have to be afraid to tell their families who they are! 🎉
Their families already knew and deep don..these kids also know they are what they are and not what they pretend to be. This is just a fad...just like tolerance of anything else Danny has stood for.
Can someone help me to understand? Dayley says she knew she wasn't a boy because she didn't like blue, superheroes, etc. Doesn't that seem very regressive and dependent on gender stereotypes? What does that have to do with being either a boy or a girl?
Being a boy or a girl has always been about stereotypes, when you are born a doctor decides what stereotype you're going to be assigned. If you thought there was some kind of test or measurement, there's not.
@@DeoMachina Hmm. But like, I don't align with many things about being a girl, according to this logic. But I don't think I'm a boy because of that. Doesn't it make more sense to try to obliterate these stereotypes, not to reinforce these stereotypes by saying you must be a boy or a girl because you do or don't fit into them?
@@BeeCHee87 It makes more sense to allow people to decide what stereotype they follow, don't you think? I don't see how you could possibly obliterate stereotypes in a society where they are assigned to you. Or to put it simply: Assigned stereotypes -> Chosen stereotypes -> No stereotypes See how one leads to the other?
I’m a trans man (female to male) and I like the color pink, and “girly” music, nail polish, other stereotypically girly things. However, I never liked being forced into liking dresses or playing dolls, among other things girls are expected to do. We as kids often just didn’t fit in the boxes people tried to put us, and can grow to resent them for that reason. There’s more nuance to it than just breaking or following gender stereotypes.
Honestly shocked how far our science has come. One thing I am wondering is long term effects? My friend had a boob job and it messed her up. I feel like some of the surgeries and hormones could have negative effects on their health, no? Heck I had to try five different birth controls before I found one that worked for my body because I had so many side effects.
There's no studies on the long term effects but it shortens their lifespan significantly to pump large amounts of hormones they're not supposed to have at high levels and vice versa of the hormones they should have being blocked. They're literally experiments.
It's really experimentary science. And the experiments are done on little boys who "never liked the colour blue and superheroes". Well, neither did I! I was also a gender non conforming kid, and I just grew up to be a normal gay guy. Thank God I grew up before this madness. Poor kids, my heart goes out to them. 😢
I'm 49 years old Polish/British gay man and I fully support and respect trans people. Thank you to all involved in this conversation - visibility and sharing experiences are very important, we all want to know and understand more about trans people's experiences. I know a few trans people, but I feel like asking them trans-related questions is wrong, as they are much more than just trans people. So these public conversations are very useful, as they cover the topic, and in "real life" we can move on and talk about the same things as everyone else, rather than focusing on gender identities. Thank you.
I respect all people and their will to express themselves, but men cannot women and women cannot be men. Stop pandering to groupthink, It is not kind in the long run. Many lives will be lost to this brainwashing.
Thank you, Dan for supporting the trans and non binary communities. It means so much to us. I am trans I didn't realize until later in life.(My 50s) Seeing you and other famous people supporting this cause is fantastic
@@RunningWythScissors The dude lived 50 years without noticing his a woman. You've got to be kidding. Really. I cannot fathom how people are buying this stuff. He most likely was married, had children... and now that he decided, as a middle-aged man, to wear a dress in public, he's suddenly the most marginalized person on the face of earth and has unrestricted access to women and girls spaces. I don't know about you, but for me it seems like the epitome of male privilege.
@@english3082 First of all I know you're a troll, although I know it's pointless I'm just gonna try to elaborate it a bit more because its easier to just say realize. So firstly it's not sudden, there tends to be a lot of subtle (or not so subtle) things scattered throughout life, there can be this sort of unhappiness that doesn't have a clear source, it's not always the same for everyone and theres a lot more to it than that, but that is pretty typical. Eventually you kinda put the pieces together and do something about it and wow that unhappiness that had no clear source up until now is suddenly gone. Anyway as I will go with my gut that you are an uncaring bigot for some reason.... Back off. Leave us alone.
I'm going to have to stop reading the comments: some are breaking my heart. I look forward to the day when it will be normal for you to be celebrated, embraced, and loved for being you. 🥰🤗
Happy #TransVisibilityDay !! You are valid. You exist. You are worthy. You are beautifully different. I'm so fucking sorry you're going thru all this evil, vitriol, and hate coming from every direction. It's not ok that this country is supposed to be free, but you're not free to be yourself. And just a reminder again, children aren't getting surgery. But access to trans healthcare/support LITERALLY SAVES LIVES. It decreases the likelihood of suicide by 70 fucking percent!
@@EzraM5how the heck have you not heard of her? My god, she made nationwide news for years and has more of a valid claim to "transness" than this nonsense.
This means so much to me, thank you Dan. You handled this with so much love and compassion. Your willingness to learn is admirable. And all the people you talked to are so lovely. I can't wait for more episodes!
These poor kids. It is one thing to support and love your child, it is another to sacrifice their future physical and emotional well being at the altar of social progress. You can stand on the side of reality and still love your fellow humans.
@@bobdavis4848 my thoughts are, if you're not old enough to legally have sex, you're not old enough to have sex reassignment. If you're not considered competent enough to make an informed decision about sex idk how you're expected to be mature enough to make an informed decision about who you want to be for the rest of your life when you still believe in Santa Claus. Once you're an adult, Godspeed. I get that there are things about puberty that can't be reversed, but there are also things about preventing puberty that can't be reversed. Life isn't fair, and the outcome that does the least damage to children has to be the way forward.
@@augoosto11 Having gender reassignment has nothing to do with intercourse with another person. People don’t decide to have gender dysphoria or to be transgender. They are born that way, they know it from childhood, and it’s misery for them if they can’t be understood and allowed to be their real selves. Transitioning has saved lives and prevented self-harm. Children should not have their whole youth clouded by gender dysphoria that makes them feel they are trapped in their own body like it is that of a stranger that does not belong there. One of my friends has a trans son, the puberty blockers worked well for him and the only problems have been prejudice and lack of acceptance from others. Letting children with gender dysphoria transition is indeed the outcome that does the least damage. They are given elaborate psychological counseling before transitioning to be sure it’s what they really need. The vast majority of youths and parents are very satisfied with the outcome except for unfair societal backlashes. It’s not for someone like you to try to meddle in their personal business and their happy results. Also that kind of thing is part of what sometimes helps embolden some people who may attack trans children.
@@bobdavis4848 you're right, it is totally different deciding to have intercourse. Having intercourse is a much smaller decision with less potential to do permanent damage to your body. No matter what you say, there are a non-zero amount of kids who will do permanent damage and regret it later. As for trans folks being born that way, that is false. Gender dysphoria, just like every other psychological disorder, has one foot in the nature camp, and one foot in the nurture camp. For some, it'll be much more of one than the other, but both play some kind of role no matter how you slice it. I do not want people to hurt themselves, but I also don't want people to hurt themselves. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm not demeaning your position, and I am so glad the trans folks in your life have had good outcomes. But, it stands to do more harm than good from where I'm sitting, so I cannot, and will not support it. I appreciate that from your perspective, you think this is the right thing, and even if I disagree, I can respect that your heart is in the right place. Hopefully, you can extend me the same courtesy. If some day, studies can prove that hormone manipulation causes no health complications later in life, and reassignment surgery becomes completely reversible, then I may change my position. As of now however, we know synthetic hormones can and do increase the risks associated with all sorts of medical conditions.
I mostly see comments about how great Daniel is for doing this, and kudos to him! It's wonderful, but I think the focus should be more on these young people, how smart they are and how well they speak even at their age, much better and much clearer than many adults out there. Very good talk!
Watched him grew up since he was 11, grew up with him, I can't believe being trans masc I'd see one of my biggest idols being in this space and talkin about it. Harry Potter is my childhood n later as I grew I really admired him, I feel blessed by this. 🎀✨🍓
I was going to write a huge paragraph on how bizarre and exploitive this messed up situation is for the kids, but then I saw Matt Walsh's video on it and he voiced out my every thought. I advise you all to watch it. It is truly enlightening.
More like happy "what is a woman" day. If you can't give a solid concrete answer to that, then that is no different then saying that women do not exist in any meaningful definable way, which is disgusting and bigoted.
Amen. I met a friend who's trans and I've learned a lot about her experience and the experience of trans people from her, far more than I'd ever learn than from listening to some politicians or activists.
@@Scar-jg4bn clearly you learned nothing from this video. Children cannot have gender-affirming surgery and nobody is arguing that they should be able to. Puberty blockers are fully reversible, and due to anti-trans campaigning, in the UK they're no longer allowed to be prescribed to anyone under the age of 16, by which time the majority of young people have already gone through puberty. People have been self-identifying throughout history and it's only modern western culture that excludes trans and non-binary people. We're not arguing that people can self-ID as purple, one-eyed monsters or domestic animals, by the way. What are your actual concerns?
"I didn't know deep down what my gender was, I just didn't feel like it should matter" I have never felt a sentence more than that. That is exactly how I felt for the longest time before I learned about the word "nonbinary". They perfectly described it. Thank you for that
Stay strong. We will sadly never be able to live in a world completely devoid of bigotry, but as long as we continue demanding for our right to be ourselves, as long as we stay standing for our everyone's right to be free, we'll continue to make the world a better place, one step at a time.
@grumpysphinx4911 Only Bellatrix and Voldemort's actors have really been publicly defending Rowling. Most others that's didn't outright condem her basically said they don't agree with her opinions but she's still entitled to her own opinion.
Thank you Mr. Radcliffe this is what the world needs right now, empathy for others that are not like yourself. Hearing these stories hopefully helps people out there either confused by all this hate or maybe helps someone hateful rethink where they are putting their energy.
A man cannot be a woman and a woman cannot be a man. A man cannot give birth and a woman cannot produce sperm. Feel free to express yourself as you wish, but do not steal the definitions of male or female in the process.
The world is in good hands with people like these panelists: intelligent, articulate, kind, and compassionate. Thank you for giving them a platform. They are leaders who will make a difference for good.
As a trans person, thank you for this video. It has been an inspiration and hope for many people, as well as an informative video for them. I'm looking forward to part 2.
Imagine watching someone show pure love for their fellow human, and all you can do is look for a reason to criticise?? He's showing kindness and compassion and you want to take that compassion and kindness away??
Serious question here…. For those of you who believe we should allow minors to make life changing, adult decisions; should we also begin trying minors as adults in criminal cases? Likewise, if you believe that a minor should be able to make the decisions absent of their parent’s approval; should we no longer hold parents criminally liable for their children’s actions? Serious question. I’m curious how one doesn’t negate the other.
We already try minors as adults but why the comparison to something so ugly, like crime. What life-changing 'decisions' are you talking about here? This is not about decisions...it is about who the minor IS. Should minors tell their parents they are gay if their parents are oppressive homophobes? No, they shouldn't. Also though...minors are not having surgeries...this is about identity... It is abusive to deny the child the right to express their identity in whatever way they want. Identity is not a tatoo for example. Transphobic adults need to get educated and listen to their kids, but also, if a kid does not feel comfortable sharing ANYTHING with their parents...it says more about the parents than it does about the kid. Grow up, adults!
@@JDKelleherMusic well life altering surgery and hormone treatment isn't something to ever be taken lightly, if they want to live as a man of a woman until their brain is fully developed and then make more permanent changes, I think that would be wiser
@@JDKelleherMusic want proof? Theres surgeons going online talking about performing double mastectomies on minors and how It’s so amazing (of course the people selling it would say that) if you’re gonna make a Statement at least look it up first
@@JDKelleherMusic how do they know who they are ? Do you not think that even adults can be wrong about who they are, not realize their qualities or flaws ?
This is exactly what I needed. Somehow its healed me in a small way to see someone I admired for so many years, Daniel Radcliffe, genuinely support people like me. Thank you, Trevor Project. Thank you, Daniel. And thank you to all these lovely human beings who gave us their time. I hope a lot of people see this video and it opens their hearts.
The way Dan listened and asked questions was very comforting to me as a trans youth. This entire video hits me very hard, just seeing people like me is wonderful.
Thank you dan!! Your allyship always brings a tear of joy to my face. After all the pain I've felt around the HP franchise from coming out as transgender, your kindness means so much more to trans people than you may even realize!! Love
Thank you for everyone who took part in this discussion. It shouldn’t be your work to educate, but for people to educate themselves, otherwise the burden can get heavy. So really appreciate your time with this ❤
Every kid up there expressed that they did this because they didn’t fit a gender stereotype. Think about that. We have entered an age where if you don’t fit an outdated completely made up definition of what a man or woman is, the current protocol is to drug the child in preparation to cut off body parts. These children will be lifelong patients because no one told them they can like whatever they want, wear whatever they want, and there’s no right or wrong way to be a boy or girl.
We need more people like Dan Radcliffe he's a genuine soul and acting on this to see where everyone is coming from with their own personal stories is so interesting. His questions were well thought out.
I love this! Daniel is such a nice, respectful and interested person. This conversation between him and all these brave and beautiful young people is really heartwarming. It's how it should be; just people respectfully holding conversations so they can learn from each other and share their experiences and feelings. Hopefully at one point the world will be a better safer place for trans people where they can truly be themselves. 🏳️⚧️❤️
Thank you so much Daniel, as a trans person who was also a huge huge fan of Harry Potter growing up, this means the world to me, especially with everything going on right now
Thank you The Trevor Project and Daniel Radcliffe for spotlighting what it means to be an ally. Trans rights ARE human rights. Love is love, kindness will always win as long as we use our voices and speak and fight for those that can't use their voice.
No one is questioning trans people are humans, we are questioning something else entirely.. A man cannot be a woman and a woman cannot be a man. A man cannot give birth and a woman cannot produce sperm. Feel free to express yourself as you wish, but do not steal the definitions of male or female in the process.
Thank you to everyone who worked to make this happen and to these amazing young people who decided to share their stories. We will keep educating people until the day when respect and acceptance is the norm to receive for all trans people.
These are such strong and amazing teenagers. They know exactly who they are and we should all as a society trust them and LISTEN TO THEM. Even if they don’t know who they are yet, we should give them the space to figure it out. Fantastic video🏳️⚧️
I learn so much from this group. Interesting thing to me is when I am with Trans people we do not refer to each other as Trans. For example, in a group of Trans women we are just women. I also learn more about non-binary identities. But the most important thing to me is how this group says that being Trans is only a part of who they are and I totally agree. I am Jamie, 66 years old and have lived a full life. Being Trans is just a part of me also.
I am so impressed with the self-awareness and intelligence of these kids. This is a valuable tool in understanding where these folks are coming from. Dan does a great job too!
do you think that if any of them desist, their stories will remain interesting to Daniel Radcliffe or mainstream culture generally? There are 45k people on the r/detrans subreddit expressing deep regret about not being able to undo sexually experimental medical procedures. They are the untold stories. The story you see above? It's told by mainstream culture ad nauseum, and if any of these poor souls veer off track from the mainstream narrative of unquestioning gender affirmation? They'll be forgotten. This must change. Tell detrans stories!
Absolutely loved this! There are so many bright, eloquent Gen Z kids that are ready to have conversations many full-grown adults are too fragile to engage with.
All these youth are so phenomenal, thank you to all of them for putting themselves out there so the world can learn from them. Thank you Daniel for using your voice and platform this way.
True. By admitting their problem, that's the first step in their recovery. I am hopeful they will find a cure so their delusions can be corrected. Variations of BID are indeed harmful. Most youths outgrow it but it was foolish of Danny to promote it.
I love how Dan is listening and apologizing. These people just wanted to be heard and Dan and The Trevor Project provided them the platform to do so. I feel like a lot of people who sometimes interview people are just plain rude, Dan didn’t give of any hate nor malicious intent towards anyone. I love him now and forever
That’s the funniest video. I like the ending where she said we shouldn’t have to make this video. Newsflash: you don’t have to make this video. Did someone force you to make this video?
I wonder if Radcliffe also thinks it's "condescending" when parents, for example, don't let their child get a tattoo, or a piercing, or that we don't let children drive, smoke, drink alcohol, etc, etc, etc... It is literally a parent's job to make decisions for their children, and the fact is research has shown that the vast majority of children who experience gender dysphoria will grow out of it, so it is absolutely right not to jump into these things and start making changes.
None of those things you listed are valid comparisons. And no, research does not show that the vast majority of trans kids grow out of it, quite the opposite,
@@leekohler5118 don't just say "that's not valid". Cite something as a rebuttal. You're probably not accustomed to being challenged on your views are you?
@@leekohler5118 according to Finland's leading pediatric gender expert, Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, 4 out of 5 kids who question gender grow out of it, her claim is backed by 12 separate studies. There are other studies from 2013 that state up to 94% of kids grow out of it, another study from 2011 puts it at 80%, etc, etc.
Hey Daniel how's about your next interview be with 6 people that detransition, it would only be fair because people that detransition are being horribly attacked by their own community.
I never liked superheroes, or playing with cars, or European football (which is a huge deal where I live) I don't like beer and I am a man, a father of two. There were always boys who called me gay because I didn't like those things, but I was not raised in such a bad environment that it would make me question what I am. My children play with the same toys and like the same things, but they have never questioned themselves about what they are. Only in a very bad family in which small things can define/confuse you. These kids have been lied to and manipulated. These things they innocently regurgitate are so shallow. Liking things defines you? That's what I always hear when this group speaks around the world.
Thank you so much to all the kids who took the time to participate in this discussion and share their experiences. Likewise thank you to The Trevor Project for putting this series together. This is a great first episode and I look forward to seeing the ones to come.
You were not born in the wrong body. Be in silent, break free from the divisive spell of language. Mind and body are one. Celebrate your uniqueness masculine girl/feminine boy. Knives and drugs are unneeded, just self acceptance and self love.

As a non binary person, people have a really hard time understanding binary trans people so you can imagine trying to grasp that I'm not either a girl or boy is not even part of the discussion. That my identity doesn't align with gender at all is still not being put on the table.
You will never be anything else than what you were at birth. No amount of chemically castrating yourself, taking hormones, or lying to yourself will change that. Go and treat your mental illness before it drives you to pain and/or suicide

"As flattering as it is, I am not brave because I just decided to be who I was." And Dan's face completely changes. I can only guess that he's told a trans person that they were brave and he suddenly learned that those words don't land with the same meaning. But it's also the face of understanding and evolution. That's all we (trans people) want.
You also want to compel everyone to pretend that you are a member of the opposite sex and exempt yourself from observing safeguard measures for children and women.

That is indeed the best thing you can do. You don't waffle around trying to apologize or making up some kind of excuse for it, you do something that shows that you are no longer part of that legacy.
At the end of the day, Daniel going out and actually /listening/ to people within these groups instead of doing the easy thing of saying "I stand with you, thoughts and prayers lol" shows that he has a lot more backbone than half the "allies" that say they do.
It feels like he is very intentionally using his fame and history with HP to raise trans voices and really putting in the work to be a good ally. It makes me tear up when I think about it too hard. 🥹💕

I felt like this wasn’t super charged with pain or desperation. Often trans discussions are stressful and exploitative.
It was relaxed and hopeful and so helpful for me as a cis person watching and learning.
You mean.. as a normal person?
I suppose trans discussions are often stressful because there’s someone within the discussion who acts as a debater and they play the devil’s advocate. There’s not usually just a space for people to have good vibes and explain themselves without having to be on the defensive.

@Kimberly Gonzalez every boy ends up loving the color pink 😉
We as the actual gay community used to make this very argument, that stereotypical likes, interests didn’t equate to somebody’s sexuality or identity.
Now there pushing to alter hormones and surgically operate on kids for not conforming to stereotypes. Absolutely awful.
Sex is immutable.
I'm a girl who likes superhero movies and the color blue,, so yes,, it has nothing to do with being a boy.
TRAs deny that this is the basis for pushing kids sex change. But without fail the children and parents cite this.
I honestly don’t know how trans people cope with the amount of ignorance and hate directed their way. I will never stop sticking up for your rights 🫶✊
Thank you
It's a biological fact that humans don't change sex. How can you demand that people believe that a man is actually a woman if you're not in a cult? What you call transitioning is nothing but the enactment of a set of sexist stereotypes. There's nothing wrong in being a man. I'm man myself, regardless of my preferences, and being a man is not an offense. You can dress whatever you want if it is appropriate for the circumstance, nobody cares. But it is not a human right to require people to lie and disregard the safeguarding of children and women based on what a person claims or thinks about him-herself or what they are wearing.
@@english3082 no one is changing their sex.
your sex is different than your gender, and that's a fact that's backed by every leading medical organization. when someone is trans, their gender is different from their sex, which often makes them uncomfortable, so they transition to feel more in tune with their body and who they truly are. it's not that hard of a concept to understand.
@@english3082 First learn the difference between sex, and gender. Then, piss off with your antiquated & backwards view of the world, and take your concern trolling over the “safeguarding of children, and women” with you. Trans people are people, and are no different than anyone else.

Fear probably helps. The more he listens the less likely he is to offend someone. Or somethey...? Err, help...

Dan Radcliffe has such a big heart, if I ever meet him I will probably burst into tears. He is obviously all too aware of what it means for him to be the one affirming trans young people by taking part in this. Even though he's not the focus, this makes such a powerful statement against the hate spread by certain people connected with the legacy he grew up a part of. An absolute gem.
He has a big heart buy given he favors delusions and other immoral social causes, we can con conclude he lacks a brain.
Or he is a sellout 😅
Lol
Radcliffe doesn’t give a shit. If he did, he would at the very least question these kids more who seem to think if u don’t like blue, you’re not a boy. He wouldn’t just nod placidly along , knowing the irreversible changes they will enact on their bodies if they continue believing this crap.
If Daniel is very aware of what it means to affirm trans people then he knows that trans people need constant affirmation. Why is that?
I always understood the idea of dead-naming (not by that term) because my name has a very common shortening that I HATE. The worst thing in the world is when someone just refuses when you say "don't call me XYZ, I don't like" and they KEEP DOING IT. It is so demeaning and infuriating.
As someone with a long name I've had similar issues in terms of how people say my full name or some nicknames of it, so I understand the pain trans people feel when they're called something they tell people not to call them.
I came up with a good solution for people who for whatever reason decide they are going to change their gender, pronouns, etc.... I just don't associate with them anymore. These people need help that I just can't give them by simply cowering to their constantly changing "identity". I just pretend like they don't exist as best as I can. It's called the "grey rock" technique for responding to abusers.
A particularly egregious case was with a coworker who cut her hair, changed to they/them, got a promotion, and began yelling at coworkers for not affirming her new identity, all in the same week. I like my job, and so I simply stopped talking about her or to her. I completely ignored her except for "Yes" and "No" answers when absolutely necessary. These people have the woke power structures behind them, and so it's all you can do at this time while keeping your job. In the meantime, when you go home from a job like this, make sure you write your representatives to voice your opinion about coerced language, child mutilation, and all the rest of it. And research the companies that take a stand against Pride and support them! But at work, just grey rock them! Ignore the abusers
That's definitely the worst thing in the world.
@@heldinahtmlhellthey didn’t say it was the worst thing in the world. They said it is infuriating and demeaning.

@@grungehog I mean the whole rampant transphobia JK is parading
@@NeArts What has she said that's transphobic?
@@grungehog The British press is infamous for being a refuge for upper-class failchildren, who for some reason decided to hate trans people. And because they're all part of the same incestuous club, they all back each other up in their bigotry.
@@grungehog Oh a lot of stuff, there was the time she declared that it was dangerous to presume that people were innocent (in the context of trans people specifically). In other words, Rowling has gone on record with the sentiment that we should assume trans people specifically are guilty.
Popping back here in the wake of JKR's open criticism of Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe. May we all treat our trans siblings with the openness, respect, and love Dan displays in this video.
Allowing these kids to live in delusion isn't love. Love is being honest. No you can't become a man or woman just because you say so. We have and need norms and "rules" in a functioning society. Example being I can't just walk in and fly an airplane because I've been struggling with my identity and identify as a pilot. I can't identify as the president or an animal or a cloud and expect to be taken seriously in society.
@@TiltyfishPoker I don’t know, as a society, we often let children explore who they are, how they want to live, and who they hope to be. Plenty of children pretend to be pilots or dinosaurs or mothers or have imaginary friends. It’s an important part of growing and learning. Of course, identifying as a pilot is very different from flying a plane without proper training and a license, but no trans people identify as trans without experience living as a trans person. In general I don’t care if you identify as a pilot or a cloud or a cat as long as you aren’t putting anyone in danger. See the difference?
@@TiltyfishPoker That's your argument? to make comparisons taken out of context? Back to reality, trans women are trying hard and risking everything they have for their identity? Be just like them, if you identify as a pilot then at least try to become a pilot, go to pilot school and learn to be a pilot. If you identify yourself as a cat, stop thinking, stop giving opinions and using social networks because cats don't do that, start acting and talking like a cat and start a catification treatment and a cognitive reduction brain surgery, it's not just a matter of saying it, GET IT!!!
love this!! So important to counter the HP transphobic author's views. Thanks, Daniel Radcliffe, this is extremely valuable.
Bollocks. Radcliffe is a scared and ungrateful small man. He should have stood by J K Rowling instead of dissing her. He's just going along with all this transgender nonsense and gender identity nonsense because he's scared of offending anyone and wants to look cool. Problem is he really believes it. It shows how stupid he is. He's been brainwashed by the looney left.

Gender is just sex stereotypes. It's confusing because it's based in pseudoscience
Being a boy or a girl has always been about stereotypes, when you are born a doctor decides what stereotype you're going to be assigned.
If you thought there was some kind of test or measurement, there's not.
@@DeoMachina Hmm. But like, I don't align with many things about being a girl, according to this logic. But I don't think I'm a boy because of that.

@@BeeCHee87 It makes more sense to allow people to decide what stereotype they follow, don't you think?
I don't see how you could possibly obliterate stereotypes in a society where they are assigned to you.
Or to put it simply:
Assigned stereotypes -> Chosen stereotypes -> No stereotypes
See how one leads to the other?
I’m a trans man (female to male) and I like the color pink, and “girly” music, nail polish, other stereotypically girly things. However, I never liked being forced into liking dresses or playing dolls, among other things girls are expected to do. We as kids often just didn’t fit in the boxes people tried to put us, and can grow to resent them for that reason. There’s more nuance to it than just breaking or following gender stereotypes.
Honestly shocked how far our science has come. One thing I am wondering is long term effects? My friend had a boob job and it messed her up. I feel like some of the surgeries and hormones could have negative effects on their health, no? Heck I had to try five different birth controls before I found one that worked for my body because I had so many side effects.
Long term? The short term side affects are already known and are necessarily damaging.
There's no studies on the long term effects but it shortens their lifespan significantly to pump large amounts of hormones they're not supposed to have at high levels and vice versa of the hormones they should have being blocked. They're literally experiments.
It's really experimentary science. And the experiments are done on little boys who "never liked the colour blue and superheroes". Well, neither did I! I was also a gender non conforming kid, and I just grew up to be a normal gay guy. Thank God I grew up before this madness. Poor kids, my heart goes out to them. 😢
I'm 49 years old Polish/British gay man and I fully support and respect trans people. Thank you to all involved in this conversation - visibility and sharing experiences are very important, we all want to know and understand more about trans people's experiences. I know a few trans people, but I feel like asking them trans-related questions is wrong, as they are much more than just trans people. So these public conversations are very useful, as they cover the topic, and in "real life" we can move on and talk about the same things as everyone else, rather than focusing on gender identities.

@@Scar-jg4bn how? do you believe in transness or not. It just seems you take whatever position to best dunk on your current enemy.
This means so much to me, thank you Dan. You handled this with so much love and compassion. Your willingness to learn is admirable. And all the people you talked to are so lovely. I can't wait for more episodes!
These poor kids. It is one thing to support and love your child, it is another to sacrifice their future physical and emotional well being at the altar of social progress. You can stand on the side of reality and still love your fellow humans.
Letting youths with gender dysphoria get gender affirming healthcare and transition is indeed supportive and loving.
@@bobdavis4848 my thoughts are, if you're not old enough to legally have sex, you're not old enough to have sex reassignment. If you're not considered competent enough to make an informed decision about sex idk how you're expected to be mature enough to make an informed decision about who you want to be for the rest of your life when you still believe in Santa Claus. Once you're an adult, Godspeed. I get that there are things about puberty that can't be reversed, but there are also things about preventing puberty that can't be reversed. Life isn't fair, and the outcome that does the least damage to children has to be the way forward.
@@augoosto11 Having gender reassignment has nothing to do with intercourse with another person. People don’t decide to have gender dysphoria or to be transgender. They are born that way, they know it from childhood, and it’s misery for them if they can’t be understood and allowed to be their real selves. Transitioning has saved lives and prevented self-harm. Children should not have their whole youth clouded by gender dysphoria that makes them feel they are trapped in their own body like it is that of a stranger that does not belong there. One of my friends has a trans son, the puberty blockers worked well for him and the only problems have been prejudice and lack of acceptance from others. Letting children with gender dysphoria transition is indeed the outcome that does the least damage. They are given elaborate psychological counseling before transitioning to be sure it’s what they really need. The vast majority of youths and parents are very satisfied with the outcome except for unfair societal backlashes. It’s not for someone like you to try to meddle in their personal business and their happy results. Also that kind of thing is part of what sometimes helps embolden some people who may attack trans children.
@@bobdavis4848 you're right, it is totally different deciding to have intercourse. Having intercourse is a much smaller decision with less potential to do permanent damage to your body. No matter what you say, there are a non-zero amount of kids who will do permanent damage and regret it later. As for trans folks being born that way, that is false. Gender dysphoria, just like every other psychological disorder, has one foot in the nature camp, and one foot in the nurture camp. For some, it'll be much more of one than the other, but both play some kind of role no matter how you slice it. I do not want people to hurt themselves, but I also don't want people to hurt themselves. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm not demeaning your position, and I am so glad the trans folks in your life have had good outcomes. But, it stands to do more harm than good from where I'm sitting, so I cannot, and will not support it. I appreciate that from your perspective, you think this is the right thing, and even if I disagree, I can respect that your heart is in the right place. Hopefully, you can extend me the same courtesy. If some day, studies can prove that hormone manipulation causes no health complications later in life, and reassignment surgery becomes completely reversible, then I may change my position. As of now however, we know synthetic hormones can and do increase the risks associated with all sorts of medical conditions.
I mostly see comments about how great Daniel is for doing this, and kudos to him! It's wonderful, but I think the focus should be more on these young people, how smart they are and how well they speak even at their age, much better and much clearer than many adults out there. Very good talk!
Watched him grew up since he was 11, grew up with him, I can't believe being trans masc I'd see one of my biggest idols being in this space and talkin about it. Harry Potter is my childhood n later as I grew I really admired him, I feel blessed by this. 🎀✨🍓

I was going to write a huge paragraph on how bizarre and exploitive this messed up situation is for the kids, but then I saw Matt Walsh's video on it and he voiced out my every thought. I advise you all to watch it. It is truly enlightening.
Happy Transgender Visibility Day everyone!!🏳️⚧️❤
More like happy "what is a woman" day. If you can't give a solid concrete answer to that, then that is no different then saying that women do not exist in any meaningful definable way, which is disgusting and bigoted.
This is it. Let people speak for their experience themselves and they will feel heard.
And LISTEN while they speak!
Amen. I met a friend who's trans and I've learned a lot about her experience and the experience of trans people from her, far more than I'd ever learn than from listening to some politicians or activists.
Yes, just let people self-identify as whatever they want and let kids make permanent choices about altering their body with no questions.
none of the things offered to children are permanent you utter airhorn
@@Scar-jg4bn clearly you learned nothing from this video. Children cannot have gender-affirming surgery and nobody is arguing that they should be able to. Puberty blockers are fully reversible, and due to anti-trans campaigning, in the UK they're no longer allowed to be prescribed to anyone under the age of 16, by which time the majority of young people have already gone through puberty. People have been self-identifying throughout history and it's only modern western culture that excludes trans and non-binary people. We're not arguing that people can self-ID as purple, one-eyed monsters or domestic animals, by the way. What are your actual concerns?
"I didn't know deep down what my gender was, I just didn't feel like it should matter" I have never felt a sentence more than that. That is exactly how I felt for the longest time before I learned about the word "nonbinary". They perfectly described it. Thank you for that
Too bad men can’t wear dresses and be feminine, but at least we can pay a surgeon for that

Thank you Mr. Radcliffe this is what the world needs right now, empathy for others that are not like yourself. Hearing these stories hopefully helps people out there either confused by all this hate or maybe helps someone hateful rethink where they are putting their energy.
A man cannot be a woman and a woman cannot be a man. A man cannot give birth and a woman cannot produce sperm. Feel free to express yourself as you wish, but do not steal the definitions of male or female in the process.
The world is in good hands with people like these panelists: intelligent, articulate, kind, and compassionate. Thank you for giving them a platform. They are leaders who will make a difference for good.
As a trans person, thank you for this video. It has been an inspiration and hope for many people, as well as an informative video for them. I'm looking forward to part 2.
it could also be not only inspiration but irreversible brain damage from empathetic empaths that change language and world just for the sake of change
@@onetwo6926 As opposed to apathetic empaths? Dummy.
Imagine watching someone show pure love for their fellow human, and all you can do is look for a reason to criticise?? He's showing kindness and compassion and you want to take that compassion and kindness away??
Serious question here…. For those of you who believe we should allow minors to make life changing, adult decisions; should we also begin trying minors as adults in criminal cases? Likewise, if you believe that a minor should be able to make the decisions absent of their parent’s approval; should we no longer hold parents criminally liable for their children’s actions? Serious question. I’m curious how one doesn’t negate the other.
We already try minors as adults but why the comparison to something so ugly, like crime. What life-changing 'decisions' are you talking about here? This is not about decisions...it is about who the minor IS. Should minors tell their parents they are gay if their parents are oppressive homophobes? No, they shouldn't. Also though...minors are not having surgeries...this is about identity... It is abusive to deny the child the right to express their identity in whatever way they want. Identity is not a tatoo for example. Transphobic adults need to get educated and listen to their kids, but also, if a kid does not feel comfortable sharing ANYTHING with their parents...it says more about the parents than it does about the kid. Grow up, adults!
@@JDKelleherMusic well life altering surgery and hormone treatment isn't something to ever be taken lightly, if they want to live as a man of a woman until their brain is fully developed and then make more permanent changes, I think that would be wiser

Thank you, Daniel. And thank you to all these lovely human beings who gave us their time. I hope a lot of people see this video and it opens their hearts.
The way Dan listened and asked questions was very comforting to me as a trans youth. This entire video hits me very hard, just seeing people like me is wonderful.
Thank you dan!! Your allyship always brings a tear of joy to my face. After all the pain I've felt around the HP franchise from coming out as transgender, your kindness means so much more to trans people than you may even realize!! Love
Thank you for everyone who took part in this discussion. It shouldn’t be your work to educate, but for people to educate themselves, otherwise the burden can get heavy. So really appreciate your time with this ❤
Watch 'Affirmation Generation.'
Every kid up there expressed that they did this because they didn’t fit a gender stereotype. Think about that. We have entered an age where if you don’t fit an outdated completely made up definition of what a man or woman is, the current protocol is to drug the child in preparation to cut off body parts. These children will be lifelong patients because no one told them they can like whatever they want, wear whatever they want, and there’s no right or wrong way to be a boy or girl.
Thank you Dan for being an ally and supporting us 💕💕
We need more people like Dan Radcliffe he's a genuine soul and acting on this to see where everyone is coming from with their own personal stories is so interesting. His questions were well thought out.
Yes actors always know what's fucking best for everyone. Wtf is wrong with you people.
"genuine soul" you mean that ironically right
Bless Dan, bless these youths for doing this! Happy visibility day 🏳️⚧️
I love this! Daniel is such a nice, respectful and interested person. This conversation between him and all these brave and beautiful young people is really heartwarming. It's how it should be; just people respectfully holding conversations so they can learn from each other and share their experiences and feelings. Hopefully at one point the world will be a better safer place for trans people where they can truly be themselves. 🏳️⚧️❤️

I learn so much from this group. Interesting thing to me is when I am with Trans people we do not refer to each other as Trans. For example, in a group of Trans women we are just women. I also learn more about non-binary identities. But the most important thing to me is how this group says that being Trans is only a part of who they are and I totally agree. I am Jamie, 66 years old and have lived a full life. Being Trans is just a part of me also.
@@Youraverageanimator1 I know that I am fine but those who choose to make hateful comments against us are not.
Really proud of you, Daniel. You show a lot of heart.
I am so impressed with the self-awareness and intelligence of these kids. This is a valuable tool in understanding where these folks are coming from. Dan does a great job too!
do you think that if any of them desist, their stories will remain interesting to Daniel Radcliffe or mainstream culture generally? There are 45k people on the r/detrans subreddit expressing deep regret about not being able to undo sexually experimental medical procedures. They are the untold stories. The story you see above? It's told by mainstream culture ad nauseum, and if any of these poor souls veer off track from the mainstream narrative of unquestioning gender affirmation? They'll be forgotten. This must change. Tell detrans stories!
Big thank you to Dan for your support & for giving younger trans a voice, something so desperately needed ❤️
Absolutely loved this! There are so many bright, eloquent Gen Z kids that are ready to have conversations many full-grown adults are too fragile to engage with.
All these youth are so phenomenal, thank you to all of them for putting themselves out there so the world can learn from them. Thank you Daniel for using your voice and platform this way.
True. By admitting their problem, that's the first step in their recovery. I am hopeful they will find a cure so their delusions can be corrected. Variations of BID are indeed harmful. Most youths outgrow it but it was foolish of Danny to promote it.

Just thank you.
I wonder if Radcliffe also thinks it's "condescending" when parents, for example, don't let their child get a tattoo, or a piercing, or that we don't let children drive, smoke, drink alcohol, etc, etc, etc... It is literally a parent's job to make decisions for their children, and the fact is research has shown that the vast majority of children who experience gender dysphoria will grow out of it, so it is absolutely right not to jump into these things and start making changes.
None of those things you listed are valid comparisons. And no, research does not show that the vast majority of trans kids grow out of it, quite the opposite,

I never liked superheroes, or playing with cars, or European football (which is a huge deal where I live) I don't like beer and I am a man, a father of two. There were always boys who called me gay because I didn't like those things, but I was not raised in such a bad environment that it would make me question what I am. My children play with the same toys and like the same things, but they have never questioned themselves about what they are. Only in a very bad family in which small things can define/confuse you. These kids have been lied to and manipulated. These things they innocently regurgitate are so shallow. Liking things defines you? That's what I always hear when this group speaks around the world.
Facts. it's complete madness
It's a terribly regressive ideology. These kids are the victims of adults who've turned society into one big anti-science post modern cult.
