Finalizing my Gender Critical Video! But need some feedback

submitted by Kai_Decadence from self.GenderCritical

Hey there everyone. So I've bene working on a followup video on my YouTube channel about why I don't believe in transgender ideology. I alluded to this in my last video I posted which was received in a way I wasn't surprised to see which was mostly mixed but I wanted to do a follow up to really explain in depth why I felt the way I did.

I know full well that at the end of the day it may not make a difference to a lot of people who watch it but I want to complete and publish it just to have something out there as well as a "TLTE (too long to explain) shortcut instead of writing out long walls of text to explain my views.

I'm really trying to cover all possible basis and the way I've broken up the video is in 3 parts

  • Brain Sex & "Transgender Science" (Mostly about the ridiculous brain sex argument and the obfuscation of DSDs)
  • Society & Environment (How gender roles and gender norms impact how people's opinions and views on sex)
  • Sexuality (Talking about homosexuality and trans has been used as a homosexual erasure)

The thing that's giving me some trouble is how I should go about ordering this. Like do you think it would be better to talk about the "science" before I dive into the societal/environmental chapter or vice versa? I'm trying to do this in a way that is coherent and digestible as well as making sure I tick all the boxes I can.

The points of interest I already have

  • Brain Sex theory
  • The side effects of HRT & Genital Surgeries
  • Homosexual erasure
  • Gender nonconforming men & women + boys & girls
  • Impact on women's rights & spaces (namely women's sports and facilities)
  • Fetish (AGP)
  • What can make a boy and man think he's a woman
  • What can make a girl and woman think she's a man (this one I don't think I'll go too deep into because I feel like it coming from a man would be kinda unhelpful so I'll probably briefly touch on this and direct people to Ben from GNC Centric to hear from a woman perspective)
  • Suicide rates (the 41%)

And yeah I think that's pretty much it though am I possibly forgetting anything else?

Thanks in advance if you do read, I just don't have anyone IRL I can talk about this stuff with.

Trans children although that's such a huge, developing area you couldn't hope to cover it all as part of one video. I truly believe it's a medical scandal in the making.

Are you looking at gender stereotypes specifically, I'm assuming so.

Detransitioners - their voices are (to me at least) some of the most important voices in the room. Re transmen Scott Newgent is absolutely fascinating.

You might be better doing a summary video then several shorter ones on what you feel are the most important issues.

Gender critical or just inquisitive psychologists are very interesting. Theories about how puberty blockers actually prevent normal development in every way even when stopped, horrifying.

Yeah it's more or less gonna be a summary tbh. I don't want the video to be too long but I want to have something I can refer people back to when they ask me why I don't believe in gender ideology because it gets annoying typing out something akin to a wall of text to explain myself.

Good list, 2 notes from me: 1) maybe talk about the effects on children specifically if the ideology is accepted (e.g. if people are born trans then you can start transitioning at any age which ignores the fact that most kids desist by adulthood, which I guess dovetails into your "homosexual erasure" and "nonconforming" points) and 2) I believe the attempted suicide rate of 41% stat is not very reliable; check out the "Gender: A Wider Lens Podcast". Can't remember which episode, but they discuss the Swedish (?) study that was actually a self-reported survey & therefore not very trustworthy. TRAs usually use this stat to spout the old "do you want a dead son or a live daughter?" nonsense, but there is likely not much truth behind it. Haven't watched your other video yet - any chance you can post a link on this thread? - but good luck with it! Make sure to research thoroughly so they can't poke holes in your arguments, and thanks for fighting the good fight.

Thanks for the feedback! I think your suggestion on the transing of kids and the negative conseqences would be a good lead into the discussion of homosexual erasure and gender nonconformity. It's just gonna be a little awkward because I know for some people, transing their kid so they don't become gay is something some parents want... Bit maybe if I explain the reality of what happens when you put kids on puberty blockers and how it can mess with their brain development and sex development problems, it can show that it really is a form of child abuse if you allow a child to do this to themselves.

And thanks for the tip on the 41%. I think what I'm gonna do instead is explain that "transition" doesn't fix anything in the long run because these trans-identified men and women still suffer from depression and that it can lead to suicidal idealization and that the money used on these ridiculous surgeries and drugs could be used for better mental healthcare avenues (that aren't gender affirmation).

Make sure to research thoroughly so they can't poke holes in your arguments

Right, this is why it's taken me a year to think about this and I'm still having a bit of difficulty writing my script LOL I have some key notes down though so all I'm trying to do is get organized. As for my previous video, I might post it here but I'm not sure because it was more of a general top 10 unpopular opinions of "LGBT" where I briefly go over certain things I don't agree with when it comes to the "LGBTQA+++"
