My gay 15 yr boy went through a phase of playing with make up/ dresses at home during grade school then suddenly in 8th grade started dressing boyish. Kids go through phases I don't believe in medication/surgery until they are adults. The mind doesn't mature until around age 25.

Thats the problem with this ideology. We are automatically a transphobe for trying to protect a child. They use bullying and aggression to fight for their ideology...sounds like what Hi&&er did back in the day...bully and indoctrinate kids to tell on their parent...this is happening in Canada right now. A 14 year old had her dad arrested for mis gendering them.

Absolutely, surgery and permanent change is worth waiting on. I get the sense your son really benefited from the chance to try things out when he was young! Trans kids often get a lot from reversible transitions, such as clothing, haircuts, makeup, trying new pronouns, or puberty blockers.

Yep, the "trans kids" thing is erasing an entire generation of gays and lesbians. Virtually ALL adult gays/lesbians were "gender non-conforming", and confused/insecure about their identity, at least SOME of their childhood... which makes them EXTREMELY vulnerable to being persuaded that they're a ""trans kid'"" (a label that shouldn't exist. NOBODY, no parent, no doctor, not the child themself, knows how an 11yo will identify AS AN ADULT). Conservative, Islamic, vehemently homophobic Iran has done this EXACT SAME thing since the 70s- Solving the """problem""" of homosexuality, by transforming gay men into (the ILLUSION of) "straight women"... Trans ideology tries to hide behind gays and lesbians (by accusing critics of being "anti-LGBT", even when they ONLY criticize trans ideology), in order to exploit the social acceptance gays and lesbians have earned in the last few decades... But they only do that, because it's politically convinient; In reality, trans ideology is UTTERLY OPPOSED to gays and lesbians... Trans ideology says that ANY acknowledgment of evidence-based sex is "hateful, transphobic bigotry"... Which makes ALL gays and lesbians "hateful transphobes", simply for BEING same-SEX attracted (rather than "same-GENDER attracted", which has never been a thing). Trans ideology says that straight men MUST be prepared to sleep with biological males, or else they're an "evil transphobic bigot", and basically a nazi... But THE SAME is true about how trans ideology sees lesbians... Trans ideology says that lesbians MUST be willing to suck "feminine girl-c0ck", or else they are a "hateful, transphobic bigot" EXACTLY like the straight man. (And obviously, the same is also true if gay men, being "obliged" to be open to sleeping with women) ALL lesbian spaces, lesbian forums, lesbian dating apps are now FULL of men, demanding sex from lesbians,- Often men claiming to "identify as female", despite having a full beard, no surgery, no hormones. It used to be a cheesy joke that your pervy uncle would say- "I'm a lesbian, in a man's body". Or "lesbians just haven't had the right c0ck yet..." But now we have "male feminists" SINCERELY using the same excuse, to force lesbians to have sex with men... THERE IS NO "LGBT"- Trans ideology is DIRECTLY OPPOSED to gay rights, and the biggest threat to gays and lesbians, in generations...

As a kid I've always been a tomboy who hated dresses and all 'girly' stuff. Now as an 20 years old adult I.... still hate dresses and all 'girly' stuff. I don't however think of myself as a man just because I like certain things associated with the other gender and dislike things associated with mine. That's just my character. I'm writing this cause I've seen multiple stories and comments in which women described how they were tomboyish but later grew up from that. I never have. But it still doesn't make me a man.

I agree with Buck on so many things. My brother is F2M. The thing that bothered me about his transition wasn't that he did it. It was the way he went about it. He was refused testosterone and a bilateral mastectomy by a few therapists. So he got in touch with the community who put him in touch with a different therapist. A therapist that was also trans. 10 minute conversation and he got everything that he wanted. Everyone talks about how it's amazing and a cure all, your depression will go away and you'll live a wonderful life etc. He's had his mastectomy and is on testosterone and is more of a depressed mess than he was before. It's his life and he can do as he pleases. But I can't shake the feeling that he was lead down this path rather than seeking it out himself and in the long run it's done him more damage. He's a social recluse, very rarely leaves the house. He eats way too much as has put on so much weight he needs a mobility scooter to get around now. It's things like this that have people concerned. We are beaten over the head with the bigot mallet the second we even dare to question it. It seems like the whole system is geared to encourage transition as a first resort rather than the last and I believe in the vast majority of cases it's doing more harm than good.

Thank you Andrew and Buck for doing this interview. As a post-op trans female, it was so good to hear someone else from the trans community talking sense. I describe myself as a trans female. I am not a woman. I have a male skeleton and a male skull. I style my hair with a fringe and often wear large glasses to hide my browbone. I also wear neck scarves and sometimes chokers to help hide my "Adam's apple". I have a husky voice and most people assume I was a heavy smoker, giving me a raspy voice. A good thing in the UK is you can not have surgery until you are around eighteen. That's the age you can say you are looking into having surgery. There is a five-year wait before you can start hormones and a further three to five years before you can have Sexual Reassignment Surgery. I keep reading in the UK press about how teenagers are undergoing surgery. This is not true in the UK. On the religious front, I am an ex-JW and now an ex-Christian. Having spent nine months in a Christian rehab, having demons pulled from my soul. I was also told that God did not want me to live as a trans person and God would restore my body back to my male body. When that did not happen, I was told I did not have enough faith. I left the church lol. I am a patron of Shelise Ann Sola, which is how I found your channel.

Unfortunately, governments seem to only talk to trans people with media presents and the loudest voices, these people do not talk for the whole trans community.

@@lisao6928I get called a terf as well. The ironic thing is, I have absolutely no problem with trans people who just want to live their lives in peace. I’m all for them having safe access to medical treatments and procedures that can alleviate their dysphoria. This is most trans adults in society. I’m mainly concerned with vulnerable women being able to have their own spaces that are for biological women only. And that’s exactly what concerns J.K. Rowling as well, but she gets publicly dragged over the coals for it. As Buck said, it’s not transphobia it’s misogyny; and many extreme trans activists are also extremely misogynistic towards biological women. They are filled with hate and rage against cisgender women and try to eliminate these safe spaces as much as they can, instead of focusing on their own happiness in the world. There is a rape crisis shelter in BC Canada that is the subject to constant physical threats and attacks by trans activists, because it’s a cisgender female only shelter. They have vandalized the shelter and terrorized the occupants more than once. I don’t understand why these people say they’re women, yet they’re behaving so aggressively like men (people like Jessica Yaniv for example). Male sexual violence against women is still just as endemic as it ever was. And yes I recognize there is also male sexual violence against trans women too, but I feel they would need spaces that can provide the specific care and support they require. I think there can be supportive spaces devoted to each without necessarily having to lump everyone together, I feel that’s disrespectful to everyone involved.

14:15 As a +50y/o heterosexual female 'tom-boy': Yes there's a huge difference between being a tom-boy and being trans. Just because we step out of societies' gender roles such as; 'girls sew, they don't work on cars', 'girls cook real food, they don't make mud pies'; does not mean we are attracted to the same sex or want in any way to be 'seen as' the opposite sex. Guess what, I sew, and I go fishing, and I do my own vehicle maintenance, and I've been told I'm a darn-good cook (especially fresh fish!). That does Not mean I have 'gender dysphoria' and it certainly doesn't make me trans! It simply makes me a woman who isn't afraid of a little dirt, and that is something I never grew out of... there's a ton of us out here too, and we are not studied by the scientific community b/c it'll skew their biased statistics, and there's no money in it.

I was really angry about hitting puberty. I was dreading the day I'd have to wear a bra & never wanted to get my period. My mom had said I'd probably get my period around age 13, but it came a few months after I turned 11. I was so upset, felt betrayed & that my life was over. I started experiencing depression, anxiety & shame/embarassment, all related to my body. That was the late-80s, I had no clue what trans was & never really thought about my gender. I knew I was female because I had a female body, that's it. I figured I'd be the same person internally even if I had been born w/ a male body. I was uncomfortable & angry w/ my body because I didn't want to be an adult yet & just wanted more time to be kid. If I had heard of puberty blockers back then, I absolutely would have wanted them. If I had read about trans, I would have started to believe that explained my situation, even tho I wouldn't have been happy about it. In my late-20s I was diagnosed with BPD which seemed to fully explain every issue I had since childhood. Tho the older I get, the more I'm convinced that BPD is a bit of a bs diagnosis in itself. Very interesting to me there appears to be a BPD/trans overlap. Based on my own experience w/ BPD, I can see how I could have been lead to believe I was trans when I'm absolutely not.

I never heard of Buck until now and I'm now a huge a fan and will follow him and listen to what he has to say. This is up there in one of your top 5 interviews and in my opinion all of your best interviews are not about scientology or any religion (just food for thought :)). You excel when you interview people about subjects you are not yourself an expert in - I think because you are a great listener and ask intelligent and very thought provoking questions. You were in your element in this one. And thank you to Buck - this was super great!

I think what is really important about Buck’s life story is that he had the irreversible procedures done when he was well into his adulthood and had full knowledge of and no doubts whatsoever about where the surgical procedure and hormone treatments would lead. I am glad he is happy and fulfilled and that his words can potentially help confused and frightened young adults and those who love them find the right route for them. Good man, Buck

Buck, your insight about what gender dysphoria actually is really helps me to understand it so much better. Your personal knowledge, and your willingness to share it, is wonderful. Thank you. Many us of are very very worried about young children who have some fleeting “dysphoria”, and allowed to be, or pushed by their parents to be, subjected to lasting medical procedures that in many cases bring on a lifetime of misery for those children. Most people want everyone to be as happy as possible, and have no problem respecting the “gender choices” of adults. But when it comes to children, we all know how frequently their ideas and feelings change about everything! To see a girl who is still a teenager wanting to get back her breasts that were surgically removed is wounding to anyone with any empathy at all. I hope that we can protect children from such things, and that our laws will discourage anyone from profiting by carrying out these life altering procedures on children. Buck, I think you rock, and I wish you and your family continued happiness.

Oh i was hoping for you to make one one this topic! I'm interrested abuot your views on this. My best friend for 23 years is a trans kid. He is female to male and started to transition at 15. I've been there for the whole process and grew up as he did. When we were 23 he told me he feels like a cripple who will never be a man, just something in between. That really opened my eyes and i started to realize what has happened to him. Transition helped him in a lot of ways, gave him opportunities and the high of testosterone gave him confidence... but that's something i, a normal woman, gained too with ageing, hard work on my psyche and... psychedelics sealed my positive look on myself at the end ngl. While i was just going through a normal process of maturing, my best friend had to take testosterone and go through horrible surgeries that both ruined his physical health. He had to because the doctors convinced a 15yearold it was the right path to go on for his condition. But was it? It's not worth sacrificing your heath to feel better quickly, especially as a kid. In our 20's we see the world completley different than when we were 15, i wish i knew back then how bad it's gonna get and not just go blindly with what the doctos say, they are full of c.... i could have saved my friend.

@AndrewGold1 Looking at both sides can be perfectly acceptable when done with the proper respect, sensitivity, and sincerity. I find nothing wrong with such a conversation. However, in private matters which involve physicians, psychiatrists or psychologists, vulnerable minors, we ought to be very careful what we promote and WHO we promote whilst having these "both-sides"conversations. Perhaps give some airtime to the opinion that this is a private matter between medical experts, children, and their parents, rather than a trendy culture war topic. It doesn't really matter what everyone else thinks; especially when they've no skin in the game; please pardon the pun. Blowing sunshine and rainbows up the arses of the likes of Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson shouldn't be part of any OBJECTIVE, THOUGHTFUL, or CONSIDERATE conversations about gay or trans folks. I hope you'll take my advice. They're too extreme, and their feelings and bigotry towards LGBT people should not be normalised. Calling them smart is a bridge too far for me, and most gay and trans people. I'm not reactionary enough to unsubscribe just yet, but I think much differently about you presently. I was able to shine on your admirations for Tim Pool, and your love of JP... but I'm growing rather weary here.

Thank you, Hairdo Vicious, for sharing your and your friend's story. These stories are so important to the larger conversation, because they are being drowned out in the din of 'affirmation care' and embracing inclusivity. There is so much harm being done to our youths, as they are given limited knowledge and bad advice while navigating the difficulties of adolescence in a society overrun with challenges -- many of which are, weirdly, like being in an undeclared war zone. We need far more understanding of how to help youths transition into adulthood WITHOUT biological interventions, but always with inclusivity and compassionate care -- especially the kind of care that includes listening, wise counseling, unconditional love and acceptance, and honesty about how much the larger world, including healthcare professionals, do not yet understand about what is leading to this surge in gender confusion. It is a huge ball of wax at this stage. And I have come to understand that this rush to so-called 'affirmation care' is wrong-headed, and very fraught with danger to those who are undergoing these radical interventions. It breaks my heart for all those who have been misguided, prematurely, and are already or will later, regret their choices and suffer life altering consequences. 😞 ☮💞

I see things as you do, I think. The issue for me is after having heard the words & cautions from a trans person who expressed strong cautionary concern for rushing to take hormones & have surgeries way too young before they've had the maturity to weigh the possible severity of the changes. I recently heard a presentation by a female to male trans person in his 30s who recently shared scientific studies showing it is understood that our brains dont reach cognitive maturity until after our teens and into our twenties. Therefore out of a sense of caution it seems logical to me that sexual/gender transitioning (forgive me for my lack of proper terminology) with all that it can entail hormonally, emotionally, surgically, mentally requires a depth of maturity reached at that 'age of maturity'. Doing so would help guard against irreversible regret years in the future thus should not be promoted/done until the trans child/teen reaches some sort of agreed upon magical age of maturity. Not that everyone would reach maturity at the same age however consider that we do have cheaper auto insurance rates for males after they've reached that magical age of maturity in early 20's. Same with alcohol usage. New evidence shows that early hormone usage negatively affects the bones, the skeletal structure etc. irreversibly. Honor the child who feels they're trans and is urgent to make the big change slow it down, put guard rails around it for a future timeframe for their own good. Get lots of therapy. Surround them with love & acceptance.

We are all in this together and should spend more time being kind and compassionate towards others instead of taking a myopic focus to the minute details that make us unique individuals.

I was a tomboy and could climb trees and skin knees with the guys & now I love dresses/dating men & girly stuff as well as being active & strong. Feeling uncomfortable in your body can be “a phase”. We’ve all felt that at some point. Kids can and should go through many different phases. Let them play with wardrobe & pronouns all day long…but when it comes to permanent self mutilation or puberty blockers…more wise counsel & dialogue is needed. And yes…of an age of consent. Really important conversation, thanks to both of you.

Far more aware, the most of the young female trans-activists who might have been bullied, but hopefully haven’t yet been violently assaulted by a man.

Thank you for having this guest today. I have a child who does not identify as their sex at birth. They are 13 and ASD. The hardest part is getting them to understand that no changes should happen until they know their body. Our hard line is 18 when we no longer have a say. Recently a well meaning healthcare worker told them that they could connect to healthcare for transitioning. Thankfully we had already connected to a paediatrician who specializes in caring for kids who are both ASD and gender questioning. The specialist agreed with me that nothing should be done at this time. My kid is safe, they are not at risk from their mental health and they have a supportive parents who just want a happy child. It is so hard to explain to a child that they are likely gay but also identity seeking but all kids identity seek. I was punk and my friends were whatever and no I wasn’t really punk. It is normal. It is currently madness watching the polarizing conversations. Kids are going to get hurt by well meaning people. I have found a great mental health professional who is both a PHD and ADHD. So the primary point in the mental health care is acceptance and learning personal mental health care and hygiene. Respect to you both. Let’s hope that the conversation moves on and our children get to do the hardest thing of all, grow themselves into wonderful people.

Ok, 18 as a line for actively transforming is a good idea, but your post is very short, so I wonder if your kid has the space to explore who they want to be/think they are? Do not feel that you must justify yourself. It is just a question.

@@annepoitrineau5650 Thanks for asking. Raising a very clever and high functioning ASD is very complex. Routines and even getting them out of the house for school is a daily struggle. Exploration of the self comes from many sources. School is hell and anxiety is near crippling. Thankfully we now have regular mental health care. This child is a very complex onion. They have access to all forms of art and history with regular visits to public galleries etc. We also go to a variety of cultural experiences I actively search for social opportunities that are both safe and good for personal growth. I am not always successful and feel blessed if we go to three or four of these a year. All healthcare and outside resources are accessed once I know they are gay/gender questioning positive. I also ensure that my child is exposed to good role models ie Drs who are also neurodiverse gay positive and trans positive. I do not restrict my child on the internet. I do however keep their computer monitor in the family area where we can see it at any time. We buy books on request. We debate issues like J K Rowling etc. The dialogue is open and we use references to ensure both sides are clear on the current issues. All points in question are checked for validity (no fake news or intentional drama please). In the end I can't say if they get a chance to explore because I don't always know if gender identity is top of mind or driving their current deep dive. I do know it is top of mind when the topic is raised however. Because they are so smart and ASD they can argue a topic and hold their line. Passion comes with the position argued but i could argue that the passion is sometimes as fleeting as an argument. Conversations such as the above video assist me in my parenting. I don't want to provide my child with examples of transition failures so I don't. They know how to do the research and honestly at their age anything I say could increase their resolve to transition. As parents we believe our child maybe gay or bi but not necessarily trans . We also believe they are in pain, confused and lonely. We also believe that they need to experience their body and all it can do before they make any permanent modifications. Our personal parenting guide is to provide opportunities to be exposed to all kinds of people, political and cultural thought and lifestyles. (before the internet loses it's mind NO it is only age appropriate) We don't control them we open doors and let them see inside.

When my daughter started starving herself we took her to a clinic for eating disorders. The councilor said she wasn't anorexic but too much information overload. She is intellectually disabled and when we found out that her class was talking about farm animals and genetically modified food for example, she was misinformed. I told the teacher to balance out the program and talk about healthy eating instead of telling teenage girls who already have body image problems the problems with the food supply today.

My response was become focused on losing weight and developed a restrictive ED from there. I am also autistic, and I didn't understand healthy eating that well.

@@FronteirWolf This is what is happening in schools today. The ones targeted for transing are young girls. It seems that the girls are on the spectrum are vulnerable ie problems at home problems coping for example, disabled children and gay children afraid of their sexual orientation. This is why it is important to let kids be, stop trying to transition them and get them the proper help not what is offered out there today. If a child grows up and then decides to transition fine but leave the kids alone.

I respect guys like Buck a lot. I remember 15-20 years ago watching documentaries on TV about transsexuals and their lifes and difficulties and the hoops they sometimes, depending on the country they lived in, had to go through to legally change their sex and such things. And I remember all of them always describing themselfs the same: I am a biological man/woman, but I feel like or think I am a woman/man. The qualification and ascertion of their biological sex always came first and what they wish for it to be like second. Because it is like Buck said, you just can not change your biological reality of what you are. But you can change your perception of yourself and of those around you if that makes you feel better. And that concept of feeling/wanting to be a different sex than what you are born is something I absolutely can not comprehend, but the way people like Buck and Debbie are talking about it so reasonably makes me accept it as a condition and as a possible way of living a happy life. It is a pity that somewhere along the way all of that transgender-madness that rationality got lost. Why did it even change from transsexual to transgender? Maybe cause people actually do know that you can not change sex, but gender is a much more fluid thing I guess? I don't know.
