Let's have "women liberation".....let's have "sexual liberation"......let's have "gay liberation" .......let's have "gender fluidity liberation". They made a lot of people think they were free....then they convince them of being bisexual.....then being gay......now being trans.....I agree with Bill that is a trend.....but this trend was socially engineered long long ago.

Like nobody actually wanted to be outlandish than drag queens or whatever, most people were trying to pass or blend in and fly under the radar. This is the complete exact opposite. It's the same thing as with all these fake disorders, people with REAL disorders aren't trying to get attention, they are literally trying (and often failing) to do exactly the complete f'ing opposite which is to blend in. Like kids who have bipolar or narcolepsy or tourettes, the last thing ANY of those kids want to do is draw more attention to their disorder, it's unbelievably mortifying, you DON'T want people to know that you are depressed.

@@drek9k2 One thing to always remember is that society as a whole follows trends. If something is hip and wild and makes you seem interesting, others will start copying it. If anyone thinks that young people arent willing to alter their identity in order to elevate their social media standing, they are delusional. When I was a kid the only people who had tattoos were bikers, convicts and ex-military. Seriously. Then tattoos became a popular way to show how unique and rebellious you were and next thing you know, everyone has tattoos. People become addicted to them. What they are really addicted to is the attention. "Hey, check out my new piece". Look at dreadlocks in the NFL. Originally there were one or two guys with dreads. Then 5. Now its 20 guys per team and now dreads are popular and trending upwards in the gen pop. The ultimate irony is that things become trendy because they are unique, different. As soon as they become trendy the uniqueness is gone. People are so anxious to stand out and be unique, that they fall in line with all of the other 'unique' people. Same applies to this topic.

Not necessarily, he says the amount of lgbtq people coming out nowadays is more than double what it was a few generations ago. This is true but then he takes it to the conclusion that by 2050 everyone would be lgbtq, this is a logical falicy at best. Not everyone is gay or trans or what have you and being such isn't something that can be taught or forced into existence at any age, we know this because being straight isn't something that can be taught or forced into existence at any age, believe me we tried. Conversion therapy even back when it's practices were blatantly tantamount to torture it still didn't work. If it didn't work for gays it won't work for straights plain and simple. Now that we have that out of the way, with increasing acceptance of lgbtq people you will predictably see an uptick in population that identifies as such, but after a certain point that number will plateau, same way it happened for left handed people in the 1920s and 1930s, (when before even then being left handed was considered taboo). We saw the same growing of general acceptance, individuals who came out, and the same predictable plateau. not all people are left handed and not all people are lgbtq, that fact will not change. As for the puberty blocker stuff, we have over 30 years of research already put into the effects of it especially in children, considering one of its original purposes was to treat early onset breast cancer in children. The only real danger that is consistent across the board is very rare cases of temporarily reduced bone density. A lot of context is left out here and I don't blame Bill at all for it considering not everyone knows about this stuff yet but I'd imagine after a session of answering some of these questions we can clear up a lot of the misconceptions

I was a tomboy when I was a kid. Hated "girly" things, and despised those girls who screamed and snivelled at everything, which seemed to my eyes to be almost every girl except me. I wanted to be a cowboy (not cow girl) or failing that, a pirate, and I loved climbing trees. I was always with the boys, and they were happy to have me, apparently, since they never drove me away like they did with other girls. I was the despair of my mother, who desperately wanted a pink, frilly, girly girl. I'm still pretty much the same, but happily married with two kids. I like dressing up in nice clothes and jewellery at the appropriate time, though I'm probably happiest in jeans and boots on the farm with my horses. These days I would definitely have been steered towards gender change treatments, and probably have been miserable for the rest of my life. What people are doing to children now is utterly immoral. Joseph Mengele would have been proud of today's experimental child abusers.

The acronymic "T", included in the Gallup 20.8% of Gen Z LGBTQ individuals, represents less than 2% of the U.S. Gen Z population who are transgender. Less than 2% is a vastly different concept/number from 100%, which Maher explicated with his untethered, "All the babies . . . ". Is there a term that applies for when one exponentially exaggerates hyperbole? @1:37 "The ACLU recently tweeted a list of those who would be disproportionately harmed by this (loss of abortion rights). You would think women might top that list, no. Wasn't even on the list. Second on the list was LGBT. Really? Abortion rights effects gay and trans people more than . . . you know, breeders?" What a dickheaded diatribe. The ACLU's unranked listing of those at risk of disproportionate harm is as follows: ▪ Black, Indigenous & other people of color ▪ the LGBTQ community ▪ immigrants ▪ young people ▪ those working to make ends meet ▪ people with disabilities The ACLU erred in ascribing a reasonable level of intelligence and common sense to Maher and his producers. It seems apparent that the ACLU did not anticipate that people would miss the obvious . . . that abortion bans do "proportionately" harm all "individuals with uteri who can become pregnant" (at times incl. most women, many trans-men, some non-binary folks, etc.). Their list is clearly meant to identify the minority demographic subcategories, of the over-arching population with potential for pregnancy, which would experience harm "disproportionately". @2:13 "Not everything's about you." @4:03 "Compared to trans, gay is practically cis and cis is practically Mormon." The messages here are that (1) trans people struggling for equal rights, acceptance and dignity must mean they think everything's about them, what a nuisance, can't they just stop existing and (2) that trans people, being abnormal, weird, strange or de minimis . . . outliers, compared to everyone else, specifically gays, cis people or Mormons, are perhaps worthy of marginalization or dismissal and unworthy of equal rights, recognition of existence or necessary medical care. @2:35 "We're literally experimenting on children" @2:43 "We just don't know much about the long term effects." (of puberty blockers) "I don't understand parents who won't let their 9 yr old walk to the corner without a helmet, an epipen and a gps tracker. And god forbid their lips touch dairy, but . . . but hormone blockers and genital surgery . . . fine." Puberty blockers, GnRH analogues, administered with historical safety to children suffering from precocious puberty, since the early 80's, are only ever prescribed on a temporary basis, for a limited time period, during which patients are monitored for adverse reactions and side effects like loss of bone density. They would not be prescribed for a child as young as 9 unless that child exhibited precocious puberty. Also, I challenge anyone to identify any case where a 9 yr old has undergone genital sex reassignment surgery, as Maher implies here. @5:45 "Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them." Ohio Republicans are again seeking to restrict gender-affirming health care for transgender youth and prevent transgender girls from competing in female sports. Does this kind of legislation promote shame? Arguably yes, or at least inhibitive feelings which negatively impact the free expression of the lives of trans people/youth. One would have to torture words and concepts to construe the legal protections for trans people codified in California law as "creating" transgender youth in any way.

He deserves the prize for Most Dishonest Pandering. Maher is simply practicing disingenuous deception and peddling harmful disinformation here. @0:32 ". . . and 20.8% of Gen Z." (identify as LGBTQ) @1:03 "All the babies are in the wrong bodies?" The acronymic "T", included in the Gallup 20.8% of Gen Z LGBTQ individuals, represents less than 2% of the U.S. Gen Z population who are transgender. Less than 2% is a vastly different concept/number from 100%, which Maher explicated with his untethered, "All the babies . . . ". Is there a term that applies for when one exponentially exaggerates hyperbole? @1:37 "The ACLU recently tweeted a list of those who would be disproportionately harmed by this (loss of abortion rights). You would think women might top that list, no. Wasn't even on the list. Second on the list was LGBT. Really? Abortion rights effects gay and trans people more than . . . you know, breeders?" What a disingenuously dishonest dickhead diatribe. The ACLU's unranked listing is as follows: ▪ Black, Indigenous & other people of color ▪ the LGBTQ community ▪ immigrants ▪ young people ▪ those working to make ends meet ▪ people with disabilities The ACLU erred in ascribing a reasonable level of intelligence and common sense to Maher and his producers. It seems apparent that the ACLU did not anticipate that people would miss the obvious . . . that abortion bans do "proportionately" harm all "individuals with uteri who can become pregnant" (at times incl. most women and many trans-men, some non-binary folks, etc.). Their list is clearly meant to identify the demographic subcategories of the population with potential for pregnancy, which would experience harm "disproportionately". @2:13 "Not everything's about you." @4:03 "Compared to trans, gay is practically cis and cis is practically Mormon." The messages here are that (1) trans people struggling for equal rights must mean they think everything's about them, what a nuisance and (2) that trans people, being abnormal, weird, strange or de minimis . . . outliers, compared to everyone else, specifically gays, cis people or Mormons, are perhaps worthy of marginalization or dismissal and unworthy of recognition, equal rights or necessary medical care. @2:35 "We're literally experimenting on children" @2:43 "We just don't know much about the long term effects." (of puberty blockers) "I don't understand parents who won't let their 9 yr old walk to the corner without a helmet, an epipen and a gps tracker. And god forbid their lips touch dairy, but . . . but hormone blockers and genital surgery . . . fine." Puberty blockers, administered with relative safety to children suffering from precocious puberty since the early 80's, are only ever prescribed on a temporary basis, for a limited time period, during which patients are monitored for adverse reactions and side effects like loss of bone density. They would not be prescribed for a child as young as 9 unless that child exhibited precocious puberty. Also, I challenge anyone to identify any case where a 9 yr old underwent genital sex reassignment surgery as Maher implies here. @5:45 "Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them." Ohio Republicans are again seeking to restrict gender-affirming health care for transgender youth and prevent transgender girls from competing in female sports. Does this kind of legislation promote shame? Arguably yes, or at least inhibitive feelings which negatively impact the free expression of the lives of trans people/youth. One would have to torture words and concepts to construe the legal protections for trans people codified in California law as "creating" transgender youth in any way. Anecdotally, I know of transgender young people who have moved to California because of the legal protections afforded them there. @8:54 "I wanted to be a pirate." If only he had simply desired to be thoughtful and carefully accurate.

He's playing to the stupidity and ignores the history of same sex friendships and the criminality that once led to many to hide their passions away from societies laws and eyes. Of course the numbers of those willing to say they enjoy same sex friendships is rising due to the elimination of extreme laws that imprisoned and at time put people to death for these friendships. Maher should do some research into the history of same sex friendships and he may just find even Abraham Lincoln enjoyed same sex friendships. Perhaps even Maher himself at one time experimented but at his age he would have known if it was found out he'd either have been castrated or put in prison. WTFup folks.

As an older gay man I have to concur with much of what he has to say. I find for instance the explosion in people who identify as nonbionary is something only a very rare few did back in the previous decades. A nonbinary person I spoke with spoke specifically about learning online what they were. My vibe of them - after getting to know them - is that they are a lesbian who is fairly masculine, not exactly an identity that needs a new category. In fact many older lesbian friends say fewer young people are identifying as lesbian, prefering to be nonbianary, which is a shame considering that those of us L and G people fought hard to make room for women to break the bonds of strict gender roles. As an older, white gay man I've also been told to shut-up, I have no right to have any input in the modern movement, a movement that I and the generations before me built! The truth is that the best statistics indicate we LGBT people make up around 4 to 5 percent of all humans. Truly trans people make up about one half of one percent of humans. That's a lot of people, but having people who dye their hair blue declaring themselves queer, just makes a mockery of those of us who were in fact "born this way."

My family, including me, is very liberal. It also includes many Phds in the sciences. During a recent gathering, I voiced many of the concerns that Bill Maher does in this segment. I was appalled by the overwhelming opinion that hormone blockers are completely reversible and therefore harmless. I, who do not hold a PHd, have not been convinced of this. Yet somehow, otherwise rational, intelligent, highly educated people have been convinced. I fear for the current wave of trendy teens. Ten or twenty years down the road, a large number of them will regret decisions they made as teenagers that ultimately profoundly affect their physical and mental health.

Ask them why the life expectancy of a transgender person is roughly 10 years less than a biological gender person. Ask them as well what peer-reviwed studies on higher cancer incidence on trans people are available.

I had a 6th grade girl student back in 2000 who HATED anything girly. Not "was a Tom Boy" (though she was) but actually got upset about having to wear something frilly for a formal event she was attending (maybe bar/bat mitzvah). She ended joining the army as a therapist working with soldiers suffering from PTSD. Always saw photos of her on social media in her fatigues with a pony tail. Then one day photos of her wedding showed up (to a man) and she was in a beautiful dress and I made a comment. She laughed and noted she really did hate dresses as a child, but doesn't mind wearing them from time to time now. Sadly, had she grown up today there might be an urge to make her something she wasn't. The girl just hated dresses, liked playing sports, and could kick the ass of any boy in her class (and was VERY proud of the fact she was from Texas)...but we all liked her because she was funny, hardworking, sweet, kind, tough, and 100% herself.

But even here he still uses their false narrative that they are somehow oppressed and "Marginalised" How? They are the most promoted and protected group in history and have special privileges through "diversity quotas" heterosexual people don't have. In fact "affirmative action" of any kind actually actively discriminates against people outside of the specified privileged groups. The most marginalised people across the West by far are white heterosexual working class men who are vilified 24/7, just supporting Trump is unprecedented extremism according to the US government! Before that they were deplorable and they are scapegoated for every single social issue in America, how is that not marginalised? Identity politics is the very definition of discriminating between groups based on religion, race, gender or sexual proclivity - something they pretend they are fighting. The more they divide, the more they have power and so they must perpetually invent new divisions and there fore a new oppressed class and new oppressor classes. Identity politics is the the mechanism for this and even where there may be a hint of real oppression it is hijacked by the high Priests and Priestesses of the cult of Political Correctness for their own self promotion and empowerment. Every individual within a so called minority group these people attach a label to has their individual voices stolen and are then forever "represented" by these antihuman, anti freedom, Marxian social engineers. There are plenty of gay men, for example, who disagree with the LGBT agenda but are now too frightened to speak out. They understand that they won the arguments for equality and now this is a war against the traditional family and decent civil society based on Christian ethos and morality. This is simply turning vast swathes of people against them and this anger is fermenting silently because speech and debate are so oppressed. The longer we allow the tyranny to continue and thrive the higher the price will need to be paid if we are ever to be free once more.

"I remember a time when people would ask kids what they wanted to be when they grew up, and they were talking about a profession!" 😆 so good.

Now all most think whether or not they'll admit or say it, is... RICH.

Common sense is becoming a revolutionary speech these days.

This perspective is a breath of fresh air and admittedly because I share the same perspective. The message is delivered in such a humorous way that I hope it is easier for people to see the irony in their own actions and to focus on that. We can all get caught up in our stupid decisions. Then we get wrapped up in the justification of something that ends up being harmful. Denial doesn't equal growth. Accepting and loving ourselves should be unconditional and not involve telling other people what to do or overreacting to their voiced opinions. Communicating our thoughts should never be compared to violent acts. That is done to keep people silent and compliant. We define ourselves throughout our lives which is a beautiful thing. Most people get stuck when they think they have to change to feel normal. Why is it that we can't all just embrace our uniqueness? Our unique feelings make up for the wonderful part of who we were meant to be. Love yourself and forget about generalities and what other people are thinking. We all need to lighten up. Thank you, Bill Maher.

“I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God no one scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery” Great!

Fantastic, Bill! That sums up exactly my thoughts and concerns but with way more clarity and humor than I could muster. I have a three year old boy, live in LA and am regularly horrified by the by the insanity that comes out of the mouths of parents at the pre-school. One mother was boosting about how she was taking away her son's boy toys and trying to force him to play with girl's toys and then complaining how the boy was resisting. I have no problem if a boy gravitates to that out of choice but to force it on him means you can't tell if it's what he wants or if he is just seeking his mother's approval by playing with girl toys. What a mess. I now consider myself an anti-woke liberal. Is that even a thing?

And who would most likely have been set on a path towards lifelong medical patienthood, chemical castration and irreversible surgery if he was born just a few years later into this dangerous new trend. You absolutely nailed it with your statement regarding gay men and pride. I've never encountered so much homophobia in my life than I have from the "let's just be nice" crowd, the LGBTQ+ community.

The acronymic "T", included in the Gallup 20.8% of Gen Z LGBTQ individuals, represents less than 2% of the U.S. Gen Z population who are transgender. Less than 2% is a vastly different concept/number from 100%, which Maher explicated with his untethered, "All the babies . . . ". Is there a term that applies for when one exponentially exaggerates hyperbole? @1:37 "The ACLU recently tweeted a list of those who would be disproportionately harmed by this (loss of abortion rights). You would think women might top that list, no. Wasn't even on the list. Second on the list was LGBT. Really? Abortion rights effects gay and trans people more than . . . you know, breeders?" What a disingenuously dishonest dickhead diatribe. The ACLU's unranked listing is as follows: ▪ Black, Indigenous & other people of color ▪ the LGBTQ community ▪ immigrants ▪ young people ▪ those working to make ends meet ▪ people with disabilities The ACLU erred in ascribing a reasonable level of intelligence and common sense to Maher and his producers. It seems apparent that the ACLU did not anticipate that people would miss the obvious . . . that abortion bans do "proportionately" harm all "individuals with uteri who can become pregnant" (at times incl. most women and many trans-men, some non-binary folks, etc.). Their list is clearly meant to identify the demographic subcategories of the population with potential for pregnancy, which would experience harm "disproportionately". @2:13 "Not everything's about you." @4:03 "Compared to trans, gay is practically cis and cis is practically Mormon." The messages here are that (1) trans people struggling for equal rights must mean they think everything's about them, what a nuisance and (2) that trans people, being abnormal, weird, strange or de minimis . . . outliers, compared to everyone else, specifically gays, cis people or Mormons, are perhaps worthy of marginalization or dismissal and unworthy of recognition, equal rights or necessary medical care. @2:35 "We're literally experimenting on children" @2:43 "We just don't know much about the long term effects." (of puberty blockers) "I don't understand parents who won't let their 9 yr old walk to the corner without a helmet, an epipen and a gps tracker. And god forbid their lips touch dairy, but . . . but hormone blockers and genital surgery . . . fine." Puberty blockers, administered with relative safety to children suffering from precocious puberty since the early 80's, are only ever prescribed on a temporary basis, for a limited time period, during which patients are monitored for adverse reactions and side effects like loss of bone density. They would not be prescribed for a child as young as 9 unless that child exhibited precocious puberty. Also, I challenge anyone to identify any case where a 9 yr old underwent genital sex reassignment surgery as Maher implies here. @5:45 "Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them." Ohio Republicans are again seeking to restrict gender-affirming health care for transgender youth and prevent transgender girls from competing in female sports. Does this kind of legislation promote shame? Arguably yes, or at least inhibitive feelings which negatively impact the free expression of the lives of trans people/youth. One would have to torture words and concepts to construe the legal protections for trans people codified in California law as "creating" transgender youth in any way. Anecdotally, I know of transgender young people who have moved to California because of the legal protections afforded them there. @8:54 "I wanted to be a pirate." If only he had simply desired to be thoughtful and carefully accurate.

Many kids are in fact just being kids and exploring who they are, and should be left to explore and experiment so long as rash decisions aren't made that can't be undone or fixed. The whole concept of "gender identity" people are using is based around psychology, they use the words male and female to describe who they are mentally as a person, not what's in between their legs. This isn't some new concept either, it's just being more widely discussed and explored. Your genitals determine very few things about who you are. The 2 most important ones being your role in reproduction and how easy it is to piss standing up lol. That's where the biology of it ends. Just about everything going on in your mind(that isn't some sort of neurological disorder) is psychological. Hormones do have an impact, but they do not determine how you walk or talk, your interests and hobbies, or anything about who you are as a person. If someone really wants to make drastic changes to their body it is no business of mine. I hope someday medical technology advances to the point where people can fully transition, with functional reproductive systems, to the point where they can become the sex they want in every biological way. I'd say maybe this would shut people up about what makes a "real woman" but then the goalposts would be moved and it would be added that they have to be "born that way" despite being able to give birth and breastfeed lol. Nobody should be forced or pressured into anything, especially at a young age, but people should be free to live how they see fit. There's no reason to treat grown adults living their lives as shitty as some people do. So many people want trans people just "locked up" for existing. Hell, people STILL talk shit about people with a lot of tattoos! Nobody seems to be able to just mind their damned business.

“Talk about a nut allergy…” that’s is a goddamned gorgeous joke.

Finally, someone is saying what millions are thinking. Are some people trans? Yep, even in my family. But is it a way to shock parents, Yes. How much confusion can a young person cause by refusing to be ANY gender, unless they "identify" as a Kardashian? Be who you want to be. Just don't shame the people who love, defend and protect you for "microaggressions" because when the MACRO-aggressors come to harm or kill you, they will have been rendered helpless to save you.

This needs to be forwarded a million times
