  1.  @ally4131  historical materialism is a far better explanation than "Islam bad"
    1
  2.  @ally4131  by that standard, Christianity is also deeply violent and imperial. The Christian crusades were very brutal. Manifest destiny was also a Christian idea. Muslims are not a monolith, and neither are Christians.

  3.  @ca8944  the crusades were not "defense of conquest." That's very oversimplified, and apologetics for Christian logic supporting violence. How about the residential schools where Christians forced native Americans to convert, abusing them in the process? Do you believe that Christians have always been justified in their violence?

  4.  @ally4131  uh oh we got a yapper. You're far more sympathetic to Christianity for an obvious reason. We all know it. Muslims come in a variety of sects and beliefs. Trying to argue their religion commands them to be terrorists IS racist. Which is unsurprising because AP is a Tommy Robinson fanboy
    1
  5.  @ally4131  lack of condemnation from the good Muslims? Yea, Muslims aren't all responsible for each other. Racists tend to think that innocent brown people need to answer for the "bad ones"

  6.  @Tony-Injection  radicalism in response to the devastation of their region by western forces. ISIS literally formed in response to the 20 year war in Iraq. More violent groups like the Taliban start to gain legitimacy because they are the only militarized force and thus the only ones with the ability to police the country.

  7.  @ca8944  you're just doing apologetics. Claiming that violent Christians aren't "true" Christians.

  8.  @ca8944  conquistadors were Catholic, so I fail to see your point. The Christian abuses of the native Americans is well documented. I'm confused why you're defending it. To make Muslims look bad or something? Grow up
    1
  9.  @ca8944  yea, this is a no true Scotsman. If Christians believe that their Bible gives them the right to enact violence, then it is immaterial whether they are following the teachings. Belief is how religion works, and the Bible as well as the Quran have been interpreted differently in history. I also do not see this argument about Judaism, despite the many brutalities in the Torah. Finally, the Bible is full of violence and SA done in the name of God, which would imply that the Christian God is cool with violence to some degree. This is about islamaphobia, and you know it.

  10.  @jmlorenzo3639  obviously. Too bad you have no evidence
    1
  11.  @Poecilia1963  So you disagree with TERFs that say ALL trans women are fetishists?
    1
  12.  @zeldagoblin  how do I engage in a discussion about whether I'm a walking fetish? The whole premise is ludicrous
    1
  13.  @Poecilia1963  Okay then show me the clinical evidence. It doesn't exist. The hypothesis failed replication. Sorry, you lose. Good day, sir.

  14.  @wolfhugs2221  Gender identity is a psychological and neurochemical feature of the human brain. Transgender people experience a gender identity that differs from their sex. Transphobia is the fear, disgust, hatred, or irrational distrust of transgender people. And yes, the idea that trans identity is a delusion is irrational distrust because it directly contradicts psychological research
    1
  15. You refuse to accept that many many trans people are happy with their transition. Kiera Bell is only one of like 12 online detransitioners.

  16. 19:03 I hope you read this comment, Andrew. Because it may explain why trans people are hesitant about your podcast. This is a transphobic assumption, Andrew. Trans women are actually SA'd at 4x the rate of other women. There is ZERO evidence so far that trans women commit SA as much as cis men. The VAST majority of SA is committed by someone you know and trust. It is not usually a stranger in public.

  17. Playing the part is all Andrew does. HE is the useful idiot for far right ideologues
    1
  18. 42:20 Yes this tweet is transphobic because it directly invalidates the lived experiences of trans people?? Dude come on, stop playing dumb.

  19. Babe, no one said "90+ genders." There is not, and never has been, an official count of genders.

  20. ​ @richalderson6069 Yea why don't you watch the interview before assuming every trans woman is a pervert :)
    1
  21. As a trans person, I know many masculine trans women and feminine trans men. Your understanding of our gender identity aligning with stereotypes is wrong
    1
  22. @andrewgoldheretics  What? You claimed in this video that trans people are just adopting gender stereotypes. I was proving to you that wasn't the case. I believe gender identity is an ingrained part of human psychology that cannot be changed.

  23. There's a whole ocean of stuff we don't understand about psychology and neuroscience. For example, we still don't know why people are gay. We just trust them when they say that's just who they are. Trans people are the same way. And there's plenty of evidence that trans people have existed in humanity for a long time. So i think it's reasonable to suggest there are some natural psychological phenomena related to gender, considering the history. There's nothing I can say to get you to trust me as a transsexual, butch woman. But if you really trusted us for a moment, you would see that transition has brought us peace within our bodies. We aren't walking gender stereotypes, we're normal people.

  24. ​ @ellisdunegan where did you find that info on Moser's study??

  25. ​ @mikescollard6499 wow. Just call us groomers next. jfc

  26.  @ellisdunegan  oh of course. Michael Bailey, who was accused of having relations with his test subjects. Amid a myriad of other accusations of abuse. I'll look into his study
    1
  27.  @ellisdunegan  just looked into it. Bailey sampled men (who ID as men) from erotic and agp themed internet communities. It says NOTHING about trans women and the similarities therein to cis women. Bailey is a joke
    1
  28.  @ellisdunegan  j Serano's response to Bailey's 2022 paper is excellent.
    1
  29.  @ellisdunegan  Bailey sampled men, who ID as men, from agp forums. It says nothing about trans women.
    1
  30.  @ellisdunegan  you can't even engage with this subject without purposeless misgendering, which indicates this is more about your feelings of disgust than the science
    1
  31.  @ellisdunegan  my comment keeps being deleted but Bailey's sample for his study wasn't trans women. It's purposeless as a study
    1
  32.  @ellisdunegan  when Michael Bailey samples TW instead of men he found on AGP internet forums, maybe I'd take his studies seriously
    1
  33.  @ellisdunegan  you should sample trans women as the control, not agp forums
    1
  34.  @ellisdunegan  I also find Moser's response to Bailey's paper to be thorough.
    1
  35.  @ellisdunegan  it also appears that "AGP" in TW disappeared after surgery. Suggests that it is not core to their identity
    1
  36.  @ellisdunegan  Lawrence (2005) found that the condition disappeared in TW after surgery.

  37. 42:35 Helen is incorrect about what trans people believe, which I find interesting considering the immense amount of time she has put in to this. I know many gender non conforming trans people. Their existence is proof that trans identity is NOT based on stereotypes of behavior, but rather an internal sense of self.

  38. Oh look, another video on trans people. You relaly hate us huh
    1
  39. Ugh. Trans women ARE women. It's the same thing
    1
  40. Babe have you watched any of the transphobe interviews? They never stay on topic, jump straight to a different one when challenged
    1
  41. 39:12 How would you respond to data that shows suicidality decreasing by up to 70 percent after gender affirming care? Inhave seen ZERO credible studies that gender affirming care worsens suicidality.
    1
  42. 54:00 people do not have the right to set a boundary about public space. It's PUBLIC
    1
  43.  @andrewgoldheretics  no one thinks they're hateful. But I think you have rejected the possibility that trans people are normal instead of deviant
    1
  44. 56:53 You have ZERO qualifications to call anyone a psychopath. This is extremely harmful language to throw around.

  45. ​ @errin-mp1zy don't talk down to me. You have zero compassion as it is.

  46. Biological men are uncomfortable with trans women in their bathrooms too. What do you want them to do then? Not exist?
    1
  47. Honestly, i think you need to talk to a professor of social psychology. Men and women do a range of behaviors to "validate" their gender. Why do you think Men feel "emasculated" when women make more money or lift more weight than them?
    1
  48. Magdalen said horrific, dehumanizing things about trans women. People like you have zero empathy for trans people.
    1
  49. There is zero statistical research that trans-inclusive gendered spaces lead to an increase in violence. Graham's FEAR is coming from a transphobic place. Did you not question Graham because you also believe that trans women are likely to be violent in women's spaces?

  50. Autogynephilia is not recognized by the psychological community for a good reason. Studies on cisgender women show that they demonstrate agp traits as well. It calls into question how the condition can be unique to trans women. Julia Serano wrote a great investigation into the condition. Contrapoints made an interesting video on the subject! Highly reccomend
