I watched this interview a few days ago.

The gist is that the daughter became indoctrinated around 14 years old by Tumblr/Deviantart - before this time she was very feminine, never presented as masculine. When she was about 17 or 18 she decided to go on testosterone. The mother did a bunch of research and saw that the likelihood of women having heart attacks on testosterone is extremely high, and since they have heart disease running through the family, the likelihood of her having a fatal heart attack before 30 is very high. The daughter said dying before 30 would be worth it to have a beard and a deeper voice. The daughter considers herself a gay man, even though her boyfriend considers himself a straight man.

There wasn't anything hateful in the video. Just a very sad mom who obviously loves her child a lot.

edit: it's still on Spotify

I've moved out to an area that doesn't get cell service (nearest service around 45 mins away) - and there aren't any crazy people. The "always connected" brain cancer normies are absorbing from echo chamber social media sites is destroying their ability to discern sane from insane, and real from fantasy.

If we want to make the world somewhat sane again - we need to get rid of smart phones. Worst invention to date. It makes me feel daft that I didn't realize how harmful these things were until I was in an area that didn't have them - and saw firsthand how (eliminating them) affects folks.

          No sympathy for drug users. I hope it's a million ice picks.

            Wild assumptions there.

            Also, you might want to get that shift key repaired.

            I am sure. Just don't let it affect the lives of others.

            Yep, my use has never impacted anybody else.

            Drugs don't make the addiction. Soldiers leaving Vietnam who had been doing heroin daily for months or years came home to their families, stopped cold turkey and never showed withdrawal symptoms. A large number of them.

            There are some documentaries out there demonstrating how the cause of addiction is psychological and has nothing to do with the substance.
