We finally have progress on the legal front and this is what it will take to subdue this craziness!! You should be doing more to raise awareness of the legal battle fronts including the how the AAP keeps changing rules to twart members, the real harms to detransitioners and the slander and liable cases involving people with courage. Times up and lawyers need to go after the AAP and others. Campbell Miller Payne, PLLC DALLAS, TX is a law firm that is now singularly committed to seeking justice nationwide for those detransitioners and others who have suffered harm due to medical malpractice, fraud, and other healthcare-related wrongs in the USA

I'm so thankful for men that stand up for women. As someone who grew up without a father, it instill much hope and respect when men know how to treat and protect women and kids.

Kudos to Bill Maher!

I think ONE of the reasons people don't get involved is because "trans" issues from the outside can seem quite specific and include issues of mental health and medical health, and people often feel that those subjects are ones for the "experts" to comment on. I don't think most people realise that so much of the issue is ideological, and concerns itself with things that we ALL experience and have perspectives on, like masculinity, femininity, stereotyping, figurative versus literal language, how we make truth claims, feeling uncomfortable with what we're told about our sexed bodies and what that means for us, the important of biological sex differences, etc. They don't realise that the ideological aspects of gender identity impacts _everyone._

No! Don’t you dare remove the fight! 😆 It’s was hilarious because it tells the truth. The reality is that the trans identified man was still physically a man and had male strength. I can’t remember who threw the first punch but it was great to see the reality of the trans identified man being able to defend himself (more than a woman would have been able to…and that added comedy value because you saw someone who looked like a woman absolutely battering a large bloke). It was utterly compassionate and respectful and accepted the reality of identifying as trans more than some tims are capable of accepting themselves. It just points out that trans identifying men are still men and embraces that fact. That’s why it’s sinful.

1:08:29 I appreciate manly men who protect women’s access to the public square. I am speaking as a female military officer with success in a “masculine” sphere.

Excited about this. I have watched a few of his "mess we're in" videos on gender in the past.

Great episode and I would recommend Graham’s book.

That's it, Stella! For some people, it is like: But wait - there's something WRONG ! Wait now, hang on a second, I need to have a look at this, said someone.....now 5 years later.... BINGO, Stella.

I want to commend Graham for intentionally turning the spotlight on the women in this fight. I have long, been a huge fan of his comedy work; I became aware of the gender issue around the same time as he began speaking out about it. I remember him tweeting that people shouldn’t just listen to him, and he tagged numerous women on Twitter, the ones at the centre of the gender, critical corner, who I had never heard of, and subsequently started following. He has flaws, as we all do, but he has never tried to keep the glory for himself.

A wonderful and illuminating engagement between three highly talented, sane, reasonable and humane human beings. Their discourse a vivid repudiation of the inhumane insanity of totalitarian trans-activist brutality and obscurantism.

Magdelen Berns. I miss her 😢♥️

Loved this episode. I've heard Glinner do formal interviews, and of course his very informal Mess, but this was something quite different. And I've had no idea he's friends with Stella! A charming conversation. Now that you seem to invite, in a sense, "random" people who got involved with the gender world for no directly obvious reason... Know whom you should get on your show next? JK Rowling. (The scream of your viewers would go around the planet.)

I found Graham before I found Gender a wider lens. I just happened across him on KZread. He was doing an interview with a trans widow, Jenny I believe. It was the first I'd heard of the experience of women with husband's who go off the AGP deep end. *Huge* eye opener for me. The widows are demonised as much as parents of ROGD kids. I've been more vested in parent resources for quite a while, and have gotten alot out of your show. I haven't listened to him in awhile, but seeing him here makes me curious to check out his substack :) and his book.

The industrial economic engine that built our wealth in global northern countries was not built with the paid labor of women, but mostly the unpaid labor of them. They are also 70% of the working poor in the global south, and had been the largest demography of striking persons in the still industrializing world prior to covid. Women’s rights disappearing is rarely about just economic forces driving politicians toward morality, religion or bias, or even the birthrate in the last century. It's about redistribution of labor. Material gains to be made etc.

I've just ordered a couple more copies of Graham's book for my male relatives. They used to totally love Graham's work but turned against him because of this utter ideological nonsense. They expected me to agree with them. I was 100% clear that I am with Graham 100%. I explained further why. They'll be getting Graham's book and hopefully they'll read it.. whatever

I don't know a single person that agree with this ideology, but no one speaks up because they think it doesn't affect them or that it's not happening or is exaggerated and they'd rather not draw any negative attention from the ideologues.

A great interview - thank you. Just one point: I'm sure both men and women can be bullied online (video around 36 min in), and I would have thought both men and women contribute to the bullying. However, I wonder how much the forms of bullying online are those that women tend to participate in more (eg relational bullying)? I haven't seen any data on this and I would be interested to know what the data tells us.

Just a comment. I read last night a criticism of you guys and similar organisations in an article, I can't remember wich one, reading alot at the moment. They mentioned that alot of academics involved in this movement are plugging books they have written. It does look like people are using your channel to generate revenue after having lost their other revenue streams ie jobs because of "transphobic" ideas. I know it is a tricky one but I could see that advertising books that are being sold could weaken what you are trying to do. Just something to think about. A lot of people are suffering. a lot of people with very little to lose are losing what they have - ie vulnerable kids from poor families who are destroying their earning potential when they ruin their bodies and mental health with hormones and surgery. Not a criticism, just something to think about. It might be good to somehow illustrate how people from lower socioeconomic groups are coping with this ontop of job insecurity or unemployment of the household providers. This is not just a middle class problem, I think it's effect on poverty is important

I really enjoyed listening to the three of you… But… I think what I can’t reconcile is when Glinner says he hates to see women bullied and yet wasn’t it Debbie Hayton who drafted, or helped draft, the school policy in the UK to allow men and boys into girls’ bathrooms and change rooms at schools in the UK? And Debbie uses the female spaces himself?

Some ➡️ additional thoughts ⬅️, that went through my mind while typing my reply: I will refer you here, to the YT channel which was an inspiration for me concerning online fact checking: That is the channel of geologist and science journalist "potholer54". He is not perfect either (who is?), but he does a pretty decent job of debunking online nonsense both on the left wing and (mostly) the right wing of the climate debate. His maxim is to trace assertions back to the peer reviewed scientific literature. I submit here, that even this method can be too simple and credulous, because even in peer reviewed journals junk-science can be found. More so in medicine and psychology than in physics and chemistry, I suspect. One reason: People are complex! In that context, I suggest looking with your favorite search engine for (psychology reproducibility crisis). Any online assertion should be traced back to the "raw data". These raw data should then be critically analyzed for their merit. (Potholers54 does present some decent analysis, how online influencers manipulate or misunderstand the raw data and then draw incorrect conclusions). In science, it should be subsequently checked, if the raw data have been reproduced by competing groups, elsewhere in the world. An example of disinformation in the gender discussion, are the rather alarming statistics about suicide attempts of gender-questioning adolescents that seem to be used to blackmail parents and usher their gender-questioning child onto the medicalized pathway of the "trans train". These statistics seem to have been debunked by Michael Biggs from Oxford in: "Suicide by Clinic‑Referred Transgender Adolescents in the United Kingdom", Michael Biggs, Archives of Sexual Behavior (2022). In that article, Biggs gives references to sources of dis-information about suicide. Cheers 🙂

The part where he talked about seeing someone yelling for funding for trans surgeries at an abortion rally was very telling to me. Progressivism is all about pushing boundaries. Its about pushing the envelope with whats acceptable in society and doing away woth morals. Specifically, Christian/conservative morals. So why would you be surprised about seeing someone protest for funding for trans surgeries at an abortion rally? I really liked the analogy of this whole thing being a self driving car. And i would add that its a self driving car without brakes. Because progressivism, liberalism, wokism, whatever you want to call it, has no limits. The advantage that conservativism has is the fact that its held in by the biblical boundaries that its based off of. Thats why Christian doctrine has stayed relatively unchanged for 2,000 years. Liberalism doesnt have these same boundaries and so its allowed to become more and more radical all of the time. We have replaced our society's judeo Christian morals with a new doctrine that has no boundaries to hold it in. And now, we sit here and act surprised when we see abortion and trans rights being protested simultaneously. Having a doctrine without boundaries dominating society is going to cause harmful things like the trans ideology to come to fruition. Liberals made their bed and so now they have to sleep in it.

Graham, are you actually comparing yourself to Jews in Nazi-occupied France? Really? Stella, Sasha! That's funny? At best, bottom of the barrel. At worst, narcissism blended with anti-semitism. No, I am not being a humorless "woke" policeman. You have to think about it. You aimed the torpedo right at yourself.

@numberonedad Yep they sure are.

Your obsession with Transgender identity is relentless and means much less to us than to you. Your examination of trans identity is never in good faith. I identify as many things, I'm a recovering alcoholic, I'm Australian, I'm Aboriginal, I'm disabled and chronically ill, I'm a kidney transplant recipient, I'm a redhead, I'm a trans female, I'm bisexual, I'm a senior person, I'm non-religious etc etc

​@@lynnej.9357I don't find this person responds to comments. Which makes the "good faith" thing ring a little hollow. I also think the criticism is a bit unfair when they discuss many aspects of gender, gender dysphoria etc. Many of the ideas are about a healthier approach to gender too so calling it an "obsession" when kids are getting clearly the wrong medical interventions just doesn't make sense to me. I always wonder why other people don't care more.

I find men cosplaying as women are 'not in good faith' especially when women and children do not have a voice with their concerns about these men inserting themselves into what was safe spaces for females. Wow! How many boxes do you like to tick!

“Your obsession with gender identity”. Has become an obsession because it’s your obsession. And you are forever shoving it down our throats. When we complain, you say “transphobe”.

It's an issue when men invade women's spaces in the name of an identity. I don't care what labels you use on yourself. You are not a woman and you don't belong in women's only spaces.

في العالم الاسلامي يتقبلون المتحولين جنسيا نسبيا ولا يتقبلون المثليين . لأن الاسلام يعترف بالخنوثة انها خلقة الله . لكن المثلية يعتبرها لواط .. وخطيءة كبيرة . لكن الغريب في الامر ان العكس هو ما يقع في الغرب ... لا يتقبلون بشكل نسبي التحول .. ويقبلون المثلية ويحتفلون بها . . انا ارى ان اي طفل انثوي في سلوكه .. مند الطفولة المبكرة .. فهو حتما سيكون عابر جندري ومثلي التوجه في المستقبل ... لكن عدم تسامح المجتمع يجعله يمحي هذه الطبائع في كينونته . .. وهذا ما لاحظته في الغرب ... انا كنت اعرف نفسي اني مثلي لكن مع الوقت اكتشفت اني اخدع نفسي لأني لست رجل انا مرأة تحب الرجال وتحب الجنس بطريقة تجعلها تلعب دور المرأة 😊

You're a man who thinks hes a Woman, and more power to you, your feelings are yours. The only entry requirement to being a "trans woman" is being male - if you're not male, you can't be a "trans woman". Your womanly feelings are your business and its not on anyone outside of your feelings to affirm them as being real or true. Women, unlike Men, don't have to move heaven and earth to prove how and why they are Women, they just are. Unless you can invent a time machine and go through conception and birth again to grow and develop as a Girl and Woman, you're screwed. Sorry, you just are. You have no pathway towards being Female or a Woman - none exist.

Graham is butchering the Hayes Code, Bogart and Bacall, and “Bonnie and Clyde.” The Hayes Code was a reaction to the very raciness (not ‘racism’) of some films of the 1920s and 30s. Film was headed towards too much nudity and explicitness The studios actually came up with the code. Btw the Catholic Church had come up with its own conservative code. The Bogart and Bacall bit was her saying to Bogart, “If you need me just whistle.” Then she pauses and ask languid and slow, “You know how to whistle don’t ya?” Long pause… “You just put your lips together and blow.” The reply camera shot of Bogey wide-eyed is a classic. And lastly, “Bonnie and Clyde” was towards the end of film censorship. While toe on the ground and two beds for married couples went away, full blown explicit sex never made it to mainstream and the rating system (G, PG, R, X, etc.) we have now is a replacement. Studios as well as TV want to warn people of what might be considered offensive. Or what some folks today might label “trigger warning.” 🫣

Yes and no, on your Hays code bit- The hays code was very much a tool of political suppression and expressly enforced antimiscegnation provisions. Despite the hays code seeming to be similar to a ratings system, it was effectively used as a tool of political suppression as this was the beginning of the labor battles against the studio system, and it wasn't really widely adopted until Upton Sinclairs platform became the darling of the California voters, despite his election loss- his machine got in and passed quite a few programs that scared the monopolies in California for several decades, it's why they gave us Ronald Reagan and SWAT Teams- This is also the blacklist era- McCartheyism did produce a trial of Hollywood and theater writers who became living legends who had to use pseudonyms or history's cowards. And it did end in 1968, but it was self enforced, so there were studios that did produce nonhays code films throughout the era.
