This is 2 hrs so it's going in the commute to work playlist but anyone know what was up with the opening statement where the woman on the side just seems to interject to kick the other person off the stage?

Wow, I didn't notice that. What a petty bitch. I wonder what the issue was.

She cynically argues for "parental rights" in her opening statement to justify child mutilation, then gets owned so hard at 1:08:10 that she needs to be bailed out by her mask-wearing aide.

Watching all these Dems and their rambling, fake "freedom" platitudes is disgusting.

Just going to comment on something near the beginning of the video. Someone made a dumb comment about intersex people. Basically the terminology "assigned male/female at birth" comes from medical categorization of intersex people but trans ideology parasitically stole the terminology in order to help legitimize their transitions. The speaker makes some dumb point then tries to say x millions of intersex people in the US exist. Basically this number is bullshit.

US population 331.89M

.

Now you can look up these numbers in the Wikipedia for intersex but I'll add a bit of context. Some organizations use an inflated number 1.7% to represent the intersex population for various ideological reasons.

.

Anne Fausto Sterling puts out a number 1.7% which comes out to 5.6M people in the US. (I think that was what the person said in the video?). Problem is the number is nonsense another researcher put out a response to that exact data saying the final number was full of errors and should have been calculated as 0.37% if Sterling had calculated it correctly from her own data. That's 1.2M people but this is still way over inflated.

.

Leonard Sax put out a number 0.018% but he way undercounted because he omits almost all intersex conditions because they present normally as male or female. Another 2018 study estimated the number at 0.02-0.05% but this is based entirely on ambiguous genitals which is how doctors end up being stuck "assigning" a sex at birth. It also doesn't include the actual sex chromosome results which seems to actually define the condition of being intersex.

.

For the real number XXX or XXY adds up to 0.1%. the other conditions are at least a decimal point lower so insignificant. That puts the estimate at about 332k intersex people max but they are all still classified as either male or female. Perhaps the only exception is genetic mosaicism but that is absurdly rare.

.

That's just my rant about whenever someone tries to claim there are millions of intersex people in the US and the way they try to leech off the medical credibility of intersex conditions is a whole other pile of shit.

Did a quick Google search for congress gender affirming care and sure enough, propaganda.

USA Today's article portrays Scanlon as some heroic warrior who defended kids from transphobes, failing to mention her complete humiliation when her confused hypocrisy was exposed.

Then there's the Washington Post article that opens with this:

When AJ DePre, a trans rights organizer, heard that a House subcommittee was holding a hearing about “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care,’” on Thursday, they spent the day making calls to their family in Belgium to assess if they could move to Europe.

The fact that this entire debate is occurring at all is an embarrassment to the human race. People really should've listened to Cicero when he said "The fruit of too much liberty is slavery"; I think when you start debating whether parents/the government/ANYONE should have the right to coerce, force, or even simply allow children to be permanently mutilated in a process that has a disgustingly high rate of suicide, death, complication, etc. it's high time to consider if democracy is really a good idea.

Of course, it could be worse, we could be a literal death factory like Canada where humans are turned into trannies, junkies, and homeless people and then rather than simply forgotten about are MURDERED BY THE STATE, all in the name of profit

Calling subhuman parasites like these Democrats or Trudeau "trash" would be an insult to refuse, at least garbage usually at one point held meaning or was useful in any way.

When did this "care" become "essential?" We haven't had it until very recently and yet the youth seem to have flourished. Our time would be better spend limiting their time on the internet/social media. Those platforms are doing a lot more damage than having to wait until they're at least physically done growing (though I think they should have to wait until they are mentally done growing too) before they take such drastic action.

That's why the "it's like left-handedness" theory about the explosion of trans identities doesn't work. Where's the mountain of bodies from all the closeted trans people who offed themselves in the 80s because they didn't have "essential care?" It doesn't exist.

I keep seeing this narrative that trans children are dying by the thousands because some states have enacted laws to protect them from harmful/irreversible transitioning before they're in double digits. Where are they? Name one child that was "murdered" period, let alone from a law designed to protect them from making one of the worst decisions of their lives?
