  1. The `Four Yorkshiremen` sketch`? Now I`ve heard everything. It`s obvious that the `older generation` have moved science forward at such a speed, you can transfer surgeries from areas involving cancer and explosion/burns (mastectomies, genital rebuilding) to the area of trans healthcare, moving on so quickly you keep on hearing young people surprised that they may be able to have vocal cord ops for voice changes etc. It`s the younger generation who don`t want to follow science and have these changes for feelings rather than physical, medical reasons; or are backing the use of puberty blockers on children who have no medical issue with their puberty. But, hey if you want to talk vaguely about the Four Yorkshiremen sketch, go ahead...nobody`s listening. Btw...you`ve got to pretty old to remember the Four Yorkshiremen sketch, done first in the late 1960s.

  2. That`s it in a nutshell. We have to part ways with the trans community. Believe you`ve been born in the wrong body? Sorry, we can`t help...goodbye. That is inevitably going to happen unless the trans community, maybe, just maybe, concludes many of its ideas are unworkable and indeed, demonstrably incorrect.

  3.  @Aarenby  I`ve got at least two of your replies to me calling me a `rapist`. So something is `going on here`, Aarenby. When it comes to an ideology and its connection with the sterilisation of children, yes, some WPATH members have shown way too much interest in eunuchism; despite sterilisation being an obvious side effect, trans activists still back the use of puberty blockers for minors; and the stopping of maturation in puberty is seen as beneficial to a better transition using hrt in minors: that is the sterilisation of children.

  4.  @mm5478  Aarenby leaves abusive comments and has already been reported. You`re lucky to get such a cohesive and expansive reply. Usually it`s just a few words of abuse.

  5. Labour have all the best words. They do the same as the Tories, but give it a `cuddlier` name.

  6. Abigail and Freddy...logic? Sure, Freddy is going to be a great grand dad one day following her logic, and the continuation of her delusion by her kids. Abigail will shift into admitting to being a cross dresser soon. Both great arbiters of `logic`.

  7. The definition of a medical problem is you need to have something medically wrong with your body...an impairment, a blockage, a malfunction. Something physical in blood, bone or tissue. `Gender distress` is not a medical problem. If it were, we would have probably found a medical solution. `Not getting on with your life` isn`t catastrophic. A medical problem like a broken spine, or brain injury IS catastrophic.

  8. Sure, sure, some cross dresser with a YT channel called `PhilosophyTube` is going to have a huge impact on the medical profession.

  9. For people to be angry about it, they need proof that it`s true. Evidence? How is the health system politicised? It usually skews towards the Left as, y`know, a socialist model health system. Certainly trans issues have been politicised by activists...but that is outside the health service`s control. How are patients dying through laziness? Whose laziness?

  10. I`d go further. They look terrible after `transition`...male and female, and are physically repulsive to most people. They need to just go and live their lives and stop convincing themselves they`re a big deal.
    2
  11. That`s essential to politics though...discussing what rights people should have;so they don`t conflict with other people`s rights. Increasingly nobody`s worried about `trans rights` because you`re all such awful, selfish, foul-mouthed people. Sunak and Starmer would be best not to mention `trans` issues at all....but then that would get you finding different immature ways of insulting them.
    2
  12. Let`s break this down...you criticise `womens and LGB rights` being debated but then complain about `queer people` being banned from certain spaces....yes, trans identifying men from womens` spaces. That`s womens` rights. Instead of challenging this you just say it`s due to `hateful reasons they`ve completely made up and genuinely have no evidence to back up`. What is needed in that argument...womens` spaces for women only. Then, oh it`s three paragraphs about LGBTQ+ in schools...well most people would say why is this group being granted access to a child`s education, then you say kids will get info anyway...but sometimes misinformation...they`re likely to get it from the LGBT community sites, helplines, SM and support group, unless you think the evil Right-wing are there telling people gayness is a problem or a shameful thing...but the queer and trans communities are already doing that. Nice try...but you`re just going through all the victimhood tropes. Most Right-wing people don`t know or care what `queer people` are. They`re just pushing back against the fascist bullying of the trans activists and the completely confused thinking of people like yourself.

  13. `A crisis in the Right?` Oh that`s hilarious, the left-wing disaster master David Lammy is shillin this crap to Americans who haven`t got a clue.

  14. Why don`t you explain it? You`re trans. I`ve heard one of his lectures, like a lot of biological ideas, he`s just giving that...ideas and theories. How can that explain the reality of Transgender folk? You explain it, or at least your experience. Sapolsky isn`t trans.
    2
  15. So say something that is nonsense to most people, but understood by the favoured few is your way of communicating to people who `foam at the mouth` due to your very existence...when you`ve just made it impossible for people outside your group to even understand what you`re saying?
    2
  16. What injustices have been perpetrated against `trans people`? And why do they need justice? And be specific, not a word salad of vague Hallmark greeting card soundbites. This is why `trans activism` gets nowhere...it`s so vague. You need specific issues where you consider injustice has been done.
    2
  17. The Cass Review isn`t a scientific study and doesn`t claim to be. Aarenby, aren`t you better off with your many reported one line comments about rape and other sexual violence, rather than this block of a comment?
    2
  18. Yeh, throw ideas out there...accept the idea and refine it, remodel it or reject the idea...it`s called `thinking`. The UK has definitely had--under Labour or Conservatives--schemes whereby unemployed 16 year olds can work while retaining their benefits, but not get a wage. If you offered an unemployed 16 year old board and lodging in a conscription based scheme miles from home by the sea somewhere they`d jump at the chance. Thrown in a 50% of the minimum wage salary, they`d be begging you where to sign....and they`d come out of it with some employment skills.
    2
  19. Gay people: sex act criminalised, `queer bashing`, the destruction of careers, blackmail,arrest and the closing of businesses and bars, constant harassment by the police. Racism...racial and ethnic minority presences regularly criminalised and made illegal, murders, employment and housing discrimination, constant harassment by the police, destruction of businesses, regular humiliating grafitti on walls, insults in language, history and culture, signs of ethnic and religious difference ripped off bodies (burkhas, turbans...) Interracial relationships...made illegal by many US states, and countries worldwide...ramifications..see above. Trans people...er...er...(waiting for a mention of bathroom bills and the Nazis...)...er...er... Stop borrowing other people`s oppression, you appalling people.

  20. They`re not going to say...they want to leave room for some more, and are still thinking up some new `sexual orientations` while they`re at it.
    2
  21. They`re inventing it all to fit what they want to believe, not what reality is...especially trans identifying men...they go on hrt and enter a `second puberty`, they`ve missed out on `girlhood`, they really grow `breasts`, their hips widen and waist narrow, so that in bone structure they are `female`; they have `periods`, and the list of sad delusion carries on. Why don`t they just accept they`re cross dressers with extra steps, I just don`t know. It`s a fetish.

  22.  @DisgruntledPeasant  So someone who is intersex is the same as being born ginger? And you`re telling me I`m listening to some misrepresentations? Here`s a defintion of intersex: Intersex people are individuals born with any of several primary sex characteristics including chromosome patterns, gonads, or genitals that, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies" That sounds like an issue or problem to me, and such conditions sound as if they can lead to illness (including mental health conditions). We`ll have to agree to disagree about it having a connection to trans. Nobody seems to be agreeing on a definition of `trans` I use gendered `soul` as a way of describing what trans people themselves are saying...there is nothing we can see but it makes a feeling of a gender different from the physical birth-sex. `Basic biology` is the building block of more advanced ideas in biology...and I have looked into both biology and neuroscience and neither contradict `basic biology`. It`s still a binary. If some scientists want to say things are more complex, there`ll be just as many who say it isn`t...but it`s all about the binary. `Gender` is not the realm of biological science as...it isn`t biological. `Gender` is an idea from sociology and psychology...non-sciences.

  23.  @Aarenby  Aarenby, most of your posts have been taken down because they`re so offensive. Why don`t you just give up?
    2
  24.  @DisgruntledPeasant  I`m talking about transgender, not intersex. Obviously if there is a physical/medicinal/chromosomal issue, it should be dealt with, but that`s not the same as putting someone on a gender affirming care programme when they say there is an incongruence between their `gender` and birth-sex. Even that statement alone contradicts what biological science/NHS has said: you`re born male, that`s it, you`re born female, that`s it. This idea that there is a gendered soul that can be different from birth-sex flies in the face of NHS/science and is totally a belief of the LGBTQIA+ community, and the NHS has to believe it also or be called bigots. The NHS shouldn`t be following an ideology that has no conclusive scientific proof.

  25. Abigail has a fork in a world made out of soup.

  26.  @paulkazanvanfan1045  It`s victimhood all the way through.

  27. Trans is fascism, coming at people to cancel, doxx and intimidate them into agreeing. A reaction to that isn`t fascism. Without activism, nobody would be any the wiser to trans at all. No government has just out of the blue decided to `solve` the trans problem. And `solving` is the interesting word you use...but you see socialism as the solution...to what? What`s the problem? A tiny proportion of society want to follow the trans ideology; the rest don`t. It sounds like you want to use socialist fascism to force people to believe as you do.
    2
  28.  @itcouldbelupus2842  People need to stop the emotional blackmail, and actually discuss comments made. How would ending gender affirming care in the NHS result in the loss of human life?

  29. There`s nothing anybody can do. You can`t force people to accept other people.
    2
  30. You lost me at ` if we actually believe that kids should be allowed to start puberty at 12.` They`ll start puberty at whatever age they start...nothing we can do about it. And why should we try to control a natural part of life, unless there is some malfunction (early puberty for example, usually when puberty blockers are used). If there is no medical issue with puberty, why use blockers just on the say so of some kid clueless about what puberty is claiming they`re a different `gender` from their birth-sex? The reasoning doesn`t add up.

  31.  @bootyspoon4675  I reckon you don`t say this to anybody irl.
    2
  32. Because society clearly doesn`t want men in women only spaces. We will go by birth sex. I`m sure the Gender Recognition Act...uh, recognises gender identity, but that isn`t the same as birth sex fact. As trans activists have told us many, many times. I`m sure you`ll skulk around invading womens` spaces...but you`re not getting legal backing for it. And people stopping you won`t be breaking ANY law.

  33. Gender theory...is just that...theory. KIds uncertain of their orientation (which is the main issue, not identity) can be directed to the requisite help. And that help needs to concentrate on gay sexual health, anti-bullying, meeting other young gay people...not teaching them what `greysexual` means. It`s LGB who are fumbling this, not the so called `anti-trans` people.

  34. It`s specifically white male middle class West. Indeed it`s colonialism...this time women are being colonised, backed up by an ideology that makes zero sense, just like the old days of forcing christianity on the non-West.
    2
  35.  @BrittanyCocchino  `Just Jesus flavored instead of Mohammed flavored.` is all I need to know about your knowledge of anything, comparing a Christian nation`s misogyny to that of the Middle East (I assume you`re referring to) with obvious anti-Islamic overtones. All I`ve said is...the healthcare for dysphoria is there is you wish it, and if you don`t seek it or use it, that problem comes mainly from yourself. We have 17 year olds suffering dysphoria to such an extent they will threaten to end their life it`s so crippling...sorry, `transitions` later in life after marriage and starting a family is not the concern of most people here. It`s young people with dysphoria desperate to do something about it NOW, not after a decade or decades. It doesn`t matter if your ex `passes` and i wouldn`t know the difference on sight on the street...i would if talking to him, seeing his mannerisms, behaviour and vibe up close. Nobody passes fully.

  36.  @mrmoment6061  Just stating a fact. He`s a guy. He`ll be fine. Most of the issues in society come from male entitlement. He`ll go into boymode and cope.

  37. .`Like Nish basically said, no one should have to defend or debunk who they are` ...so if people are racists, they can`t be challenged? What`s the point of the pod with its anti-right stance, if it`s totally okay for right-wing people to be right-wing, and they don`t need to defend their ideology? Either trans people are under scrutiny like anybody else or they are not...if they are not, then neither are extreme right-wingers, who can now be proud of who they are, following your logic. People are there already believing `human sexuality and gender are a spectrum` but they don`t understand the leap from that to men being lesbian women or women becoming men by growing a beard.

  38. It`s laughable you bring Martin Luther-King and the Civil Rights Movement into this nonsense of privileged white people playing dress-up and claiming to be oppressed. And that`s his worse quote, suggesting well-intentioned and supposedly not extreme racist white moderates are a bigger stumbling block to freedom than the Klu Klux Klan. But certainly nothing relevant to the fascist, bullying anti-woman trans movement.

  39.  @tecromancer  As part of gender affirming care, girls have had mastectomies at 14. i`d say that`s a child.

  40. Ah, but the British media is overwhelmingly left-wing. Just like this channel. It`s the Left who are the problem.

  41. They say: Gender is a social construct... Yet you can have a gender identity? It doesn`t make sense. Is it a true gender identity, authentic to you? Or one you can pretend to be, because it is a social construct? They just haven`t thought this through, and since the alternative is a simple belief in a birth sex-based biological binary...that`s they way society is gonna go. If they want to play gender games as a hobby...great, they can knock themselves out. But leave everybody else out of it.
    2
  42. There is no `functional` definition of gender identity...it`s a social construct. It will change with cultures, birth-sex, societal perceptions etc. As party of gender theory, it`s just that...theory. Or opinion. But it isn`t scientific with `functional` definitions.

  43. Nobody on this planet automatically connects the number `72` with muslims.

  44.  @itcouldbelupus2842  They`re not living authentically as women. That`s absurd. They`re living as men deluded that they are `women`. But they`re nothing of the kind. You`re one of the keyboard warriors who will spout this nonsense on-line but wouldn`t ever dare say this to anyone irl.

  45. Well said. Yes, the fallout from the Tavistock means the plan to open regional GICs...so, more beds, more staff, more doctors. And the trans activists aren`t happy with that, or overlook that part of what the Cass Review is doing. Of course very few seem to know this protocol (no blockers, social transitioning, no medicalisation of minors...) has been in place since 2022, and this is a REVIEW of what`s being done. The massive wait lists will be reduced because all the girls who are `agender demi boys` and want their nipples removed for..reasons will not be wasting the NHS` time, and they can focus on people with actual gender distress. The `trans mascs` who want testosterone for as long as it takes to get a deeper voice and some bottom growth will all be weeded out. If trans people don`t like that, then the NHS needs to end the gender affirming programmes.

  46. One, Trump has been busy with a trial and verdict, I don`t see how his `far right troupes` have been hitting the headlines and having influence. You may mean deSantis, and just forgot which Republican you needed to insult. You can`t expect to want to live in the pretense of being a `woman` without that giving issues in a society where 99% of the population just don`t try and deceive people and present themselves as their birth-sex. Plenty of places offering jobs give the option of gender neutral bathrooms, if that`s something you`re worried about. Yes, I know, bathroom issues are up there with lynching, apartheid, and bussing when it comes to oppression, but I`m sure you`ll survive.

  47. There is accountability all the way to the top...if you don`t like a government, you elect another one. If you don`t like your M.P. you throw them out etc etc. We don`t have a system that allows governments to do just as they wish. Conservatism is about the strength of the individual to make their decisions, it`s the Left who think people are weak and vulnerable and need government to take care of them. Left-wing governments are rarely in power and when they are, they get thrown out because they are pushing for a society people just do not want. People hardly notice there is a Conservative government as they just let you get on with your life. Nish is aiming at a young audience who just follow like sheep his immature ideas that conservative is bad and labour is good...how come for every 1 year of labour rule, there have have 3 of conservative in the past 79 years? Conservatives are way more popular historically.

  48. If Abigail`s done that, how is he making a living from acting, and Philosophy Tube, and hoodwinking people into believing he`s a lesbian? He`s just another privileged white middle class nobody gaming the system which works so badly it feeds, clothes, educates, and gives a fantastic standard of living to 60 million people./s

  49.  @Morris1989  You`re overthinking things. No men in womens` spaces. It`s this polite middle class chattering that expects people totally uninterested in mental masturbation to bow down and believe men are women and women are men that is going to come unstuck when the majority of society rejects the reality of cross dressers invading womens` spaces. Violence will ensue.
