Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm a transgender woman, I'm now a cat meal, i
am now non binary.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
That ends, and why so people over on TikTok are
losing their minds. We're going to react to more insane,
woke tiktoks in this bonus episode of the Brad Versus
Everyone podcasts, my daily show where we take on the
(00:25):
craziest ideas from across the Internet, our media, and our politics,
all from an independent perspective. Sometimes I do these bonus
videos on the weekends where I react to insane tiktoks
because you guys are a little sick in the head
and you enjoy watching me suffer. So up, First, we're
going to listen to perhaps the most incoherent rant from
(00:47):
a transactivist on TikTok that I have ever heard. In boy,
that's saying something. Buckle up and get ready to get
slightly dumber as we take a listen.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I'm a trans I'm now a cat me, I am
now non binary, and now I am a transwoman again.
Did you notice how I didn't explode Gender is whatever
the fuck you want it to be. This rock is
gender that's actually non binary. There are as many genders
as there are people in the world. So when people
say that I can't change my gender, they don't know
(01:21):
that in this conversation that I'm currently having with you,
I have already switched to non binary, the same way
that my pronouns are now vey them. Although trans women's
pronouns already become vey them if somebody doesn't like them,
and in that bit they changed to jiz and while
they changed to gizur, I'm now a transwoman again. Pronouns
do not correlate to gender at all. It's just how
(01:42):
you want to be referred to, like your name, and
your name does not correlate to your gender unless you're
non binary. So if your name doesn't correlate to your gender,
then your pronouns also don't correlate to your gender. Your
identity is something that you have complete control over and
you can do whatever you want with Oh, so if
I wanted to say I'm a psyclone, would you let me? Yes,
do what you want. Gender is a social construct, do
(02:05):
whatever the you want with it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, are you trying to make the LGBT community
look like a joke? Are you trying to lose rights? Like?
I really don't know what to tell you, because if
you were trying to convince people that this entire community
was insane, then you're doing amazing Other than that, I mean,
this just did not hit the way that you hoped
(02:30):
it hit, my friend. I mean, you don't seem to
realize this. Lots of these kinds of radical transactivist types
don't seem to realize this. But if gender means everything,
then it also means nothing. And if your gender can
fluctuate three times in the space of thirty seconds, you
should probably seek help first and foremost, But two, then
(02:53):
it's not actually an inherent or meaningful part of who
you are. Your gender identity that has to be respected.
You see that, right, Like the math here is not mathing.
And the other problem is that in this kind of argument,
they're making a distinction between gender and biological sex, where
they argue gender is you know, how you feel, or
(03:15):
the role you play in society or whatever they basically
mean like your personality. And even then I would say,
if your personality is switching three times in the space
of a sixty second TikTok video, that's probably an issue
you should discuss with a medical professional. But regardless, a
lot of people like don't accept that distinction. They don't
accept the idea of gender as personality and just view
(03:36):
gender as a synonym for biological sex, which can't change
and can't fluctuate thirty times in a span of sixty seconds.
It can't change at all. It's an immutable biological reality.
And then there's just a layer of incoherence to this
video that I found amusing, Like pronouns do not correlate
(03:58):
to gender? What? Then? Why are y'all so pressed if
people don't use your pronouns and they're invalidating your gender idea?
I thought they don't. Do they matter so much that
misgendering someone is cruel and mean? Or do they not
correlate to gender? Y'all are going to have to make
your minds up, because it can't be both, at least
not if your goal is to make any sense at all.
(04:21):
Like what and the same thing with the name, Your
name does not correlate to your gender? Oh well, that's
news to me because transactivists have said you can't use
their old name, that's dead naming and that invalidates their identity.
But here you are saying it doesn't correspond to their gender.
So I can't keep up and I am not the
only one. Seriously, most normal Americans are never going to
(04:45):
understand this radical gender ideology that this person is espousing,
and allowing it to be conflated with my rights as
a gay man is one of the biggest strategic and
political errors of modern history. Really, really, I mean, these
people are essentially you could almost call them identity anarchists,
(05:06):
and the position that they take is laughable. Your identity
is something you have complete control over and can do
whatever you want. Obviously that's not true. Would this person
be fine with people identifying as black when they are
in fact white. Something tells me they're not, Like you
cannot just have your unlimited right to identify as whatever
(05:26):
you want. Objective reality does still exist now. I have
never really had any problem treating trans people who just
have gender dysphoria and want to live as if they
are the opposite sex, but don't literally think they are,
you know, treating them how they want to be treated
because they have, you know, a unique medical condition, and
that's what will alleviate It. Has really never been any
(05:49):
skin off my back. It's something I'm okay with, and
I think a lot of people are. But when you
ask us to deny reality or pretend that people can
self identify as whatever they want, and it's perfectly valid.
It's just never going to happen. It's never going to happen.
So I don't know this kind of ideology, and it's
not just some random TikToker. This kind of identity anarchism
(06:11):
or gender ideology is embedded in the core of the
LGBT activist movement, the groups, the nonprofits, the rhetoric, and
it is incoherent and self destructive beyond belief. What do

And up next, we've got a helpful lesson for us
pesky gay men who are still heteronormative. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
In fact, you can be homosexual and heteronormative at the
same damn time.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Is a great example. So I actually kind of agree
with this TikTok. I just don't agree that it's a
bad thing. So heteronormative has always been one of the
sillier woke terms to me because the definition, if you
look it up, denoting or relating to a worldview that
promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation. Now
I don't know about preferred. I think it's fine for
(07:19):
people to be gay. Obviously that we would, I do acknowledge,
be in trouble if everyone was gay, because we do
need heterosexual people to biologically reproduce. However, the idea that
it's bad to view heterosexuality as the norm has never
and that's like problematic from the woke perspective, has never
made any sense to me because it literally just is
(07:40):
the norm. It's like most people, that's the definition of
the norm. And yet with this particular rhetorical twist and accusation,
they seek to portray gay people who acknowledge reality as
inherently problematic, and that is absolutely wild to me. Like,
I know y'all are on your d Lulu island and
(08:01):
living in fantasyland, but those of us who choose not
to join you are not. You know, somehow traders are
bad or evil. I simply do not agree with this.
But apparently, you know the alphabet people, the Wi Fi
password community on TikTok. They really are not in touch
with average opinion or common sense at all, at least
(08:25):
a lot of them. And this next video makes that
crystal crystal clear.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
No, there are no serious concerns about fairness in sports
related to trans people. You want to know how I
know because fairness in sports only comes up related to
trans people. If it was about fairness in sports, there
would be a variety of leagues in every kind of
sport that was based on your height, your weight, and
(08:51):
other characteristics that have nothing to do with your gender
or your gender expression identity, with what puberty you went through.
Anyone who is trying to have a converse about trans
rights and agrees to do it in the terms that
conservatives and transpogues want to have that conversation is a loser,
a loser incapable of leading because I have serious concerns.
(09:14):
I have serious concerns about trans people being allowed to
live in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, so I'm going to have to disagree with you
on that one. I do think people have serious concerns
about biologically male people competing in women's sports, and I
do think some of the high profile examples of that
illustrate those concerns, the Lea Thomas situation, some of these
high school level athletic competitions where you see a biologically
(09:39):
male student competing with girls and kind of dominating. It's
not to say it's a super common occurrence, but the
fact that it happens at all strikes people as absurd.
And the other funny thing about this is that many
of these people are on the progressive side of the
political spectrum and for a long time claim to be
the follow the science crowd, but when it comes to
(10:00):
under in sex, they're essentially science deniers. They're biology deniers,
like biology truthers who don't really acknowledge that the biology
of human sex exists. And it is funny to me
just the number of like objectively untrue statements thrown in
here willy nilly, like, oh, fairness in sports only comes
up related to trans people. That's just not true. Any
(10:20):
sports fan will tell you. I mean, there's like doping scandals,
there's all sorts of concerns about fairness that affect every sport,
and down to them regulating you know, the exact gear
you're allowed to use. And not use. Fairness is taken
very seriously in athletics. It's not just brought up when
it comes to trans people. That's totally nonsensical. And then
people like this, they don't really seem to realize the
(10:42):
difference between distinctions and differences within a category. And then
categorical distinctions so like yes, your height or your weight
or other things that very person to person within a
category do contribute to some degree of unfairness. Sports is
never going to be perfectly fair. However, the categorical distinctions
(11:05):
are much bigger, and they exist for a reason. I mean,
it would really be interesting. These kinds of people will
never really have conversations, typically with people like me, but
to ask them like, well, okay, then why do women's
sports exist as a separate division. Why don't we just
all have one team for everything and may the best
person make it? We all know because for most sports,
(11:26):
I'm not going to in most cases, I'm not going
to say in every single sport and every single case,
women wouldn't get to play because there's a categorical chasm
in certain physical attributes between males and females, and so
conflating that with differences within the categories is just not honest.
And it's interesting because this person's cites, Well, how could
(11:47):
you even compromise on any of this when we're concerned
about trans people being allowed to live now? In one sense,
that fear is unfounded because I've covered this before. Thankfully,
trans people are not killed or murdered at higher rates
than anyone else in America. That is a myth. But
I mean, I do understand the argument that like, okay, well,
(12:07):
trans adults lives and ability to be themselves and live
how they want is being restricted in some ways. I've
always been pretty clear about the fact that I firmly
believe in any adults right to live how will make
them happiest, and if that means transitioning, so be it. However,
what's so deeply ironic, and we've seen some places roll
(12:27):
back and restrict adults ability to do things, and I
don't support that. But what's so ironic about this person
talking about transadults ability to live is under jeopardy is
that it's literally happening because of people like you. Right
like five ten years ago, and nobody was pushing to
control what a trans adults could do, you know, whether
they could medically transition or not. But the trans community
(12:50):
hijack got hijacked by such extreme activism, including on things
like sports, that people decided the whole movement was absurd
and lost sympathy for it. So it's like, you can't
see that people like you are the problem. Sorry, not sorry,
it's just the truth. What do you guys think? Let
me know in the comments. Hit that like button while
you're at it, and make sure you're subscribed. Up next,
(13:12):
we're going to react to the wildest TikTok crash out
I've seen in a long time from a woke white
woman who dumped her long term boyfriend, who she says
she loved dearly for the most unhinged political reason imaginable.
Let's listen to her story and buckle up, because this
(13:33):
one's a wild one.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I broke up with my boyfriend, someone I love, someone
I have known for over ten years, because he didn't
stand up to misogynistic young men when he was given
the opportunity. We had just finished watching Adolescents, a mini
series on Netflix that essentially talks about how boys are
being more and more radicalized online, how parents aren't paying attention,
and how it's really up to men to help solve
(13:57):
this problem, because they're surely not going to listen to us.
So we were walking to the farmer's market and right
behind us were two boys, probably thirteen or fourteen years old,
and they were saying things like Trump is the best,
what has he ever done? He has more followers online.
I don't get why no one would like him. And
I was seething because my six 's four handsome, white
privileged boyfriend wasn't saying anything. And so finally I stop.
(14:20):
I turn around and I get right in their face
and I said, he's a fin rapist. He's as certified
fin therapist. And they go white in the face. Boyfriend
still just standing there, not saying anything. Once the boys
get their bearings, they say something like Trump is my daddy.
Trump is your daddy, and I was furious. I had
a full blown crash out. I took my full morning
(14:42):
latte and I smashed it on the ground and I
grunted and yelled and walked away, and he's.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Like, what's the murder?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You are the matter?
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Not even lois so.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Much him because he had an opportunity to stand up
against misogyny and he freaking didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Holy shit, bro dodged an absolute bullet. Oh my god,
what do you mean You claim you love this person,
have known your boyfriend for a decade, and yet you
dumped him over one social interaction where you didn't like
the way he handled it. You know that's insane, right, Like,
(15:19):
that's the kind of thing a loving relationship you would
potentially work through talk about, be like, hey, I didn't
like the way you handled this. Can we discuss how
maybe in the future you could do this? But no, yeah,
just crash out and dumb your boyfriend for no reason. Now,
in this case, I support it because he needs to
get as far away from you as possible, and potentially
also like, we need a restraining order keeping this person
(15:40):
away from kids, because it is absolutely insane for a
grown ass adult to crash out on random young boys
because they said they like the president of the United States.
Like people are allowed to have different opinions than you,
They're allowed to support candidates you don't like, and freaking
(16:02):
out on children in public and going like rage mode
is not a healthy or normal way to react to
simply people expressing an opinion that like half the country believes.
So Also, I mean this whole. He's a thing that
is not some like objective, neutral, verified fact. That is
an allegation that has been made that some people believe
(16:24):
and some people do not believe. So it's not as
if they all agree yeah he is, and we don't care,
like you're clearly grappling with a straw man there. They
don't believe that. Now we could discuss whether they should.
But again, having a full blown crash out, throwing your
drink into the ground and losing your crap well for
(16:45):
something teenagers said is insane to me. I mean, listen,
this hasn't happened to me, but say that I was
like walking with my boyfriend and some thirteen year old
boys like yelled slurs at us or yelled something. I
would just keep it moving. I would roll my eyes
at them and keep it moving because as an adult
like you. And to be clear, these kids did nothing
(17:07):
like that, Like they didn't even do anything wrong. Really,
they're just talking amongst themselves and saying their opinion. But
even if literal kids did do something wrong or something
upsetting or something offensive, a grown adult should not crash
out like this over the words of teenagers. Like everything
about that gives mentally unstable gives, mentally ill gives, I
(17:28):
lack the resilience of a functioning adult. It really is clinical,
clinical levels of derangement we're seeing here, And is so
funny to me because her boyfriend just acted normal, like
he just reacted to this situation how a normal person
would react, and you dumped him for it. But again
(17:50):
I support it because bro absolutely dodged a bullet. He
absolutely did. Now, while we are on the topic of
crazy woke white ladies, let's listen to this bizarre video
from another one from this interesting demographic. Take a listen
to this.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You know why people of color are more educated than
white people because people of color are the ones who
have been affected most by the government, so it only
makes sense that they would educate themselves. Therefore, it makes
sense that white people are the most uneducated people out
of everyone, because we've been least affected by shit. So
why would we look into the history of the government
(18:31):
when it didn't affect us. We're always safe, aren't we.
The answer is no to that question. By the way,
we're not safe. Educate yourself because it is white privilege
when you remain uneducated. Because this shit doesn't affect you directly,
and that is a fact.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh my god, Please don't tell me to educate myself
when you can't even change the batteries and your smoke detector.
That is. I think that noise drives me insane when
it's in the background of videos. Oh my goodness, I'm
literally crashing out because of that. I'm gonna throw my
latte on the ground. No, I'm actually not. But I
(19:13):
don't know how to engage with this because this is
just literally not true, like by any statistical measure of
educational attainment or like other things, white people are not
the least educated democratics. Is just not true. You're just
in fantasyland. And if you're just ascribing some like vague
notion about how awake to the government they are, that's
(19:35):
not really measurable or testable. So how we could prove
that one way or another, I don't know. But I
just really hate this weird collectivization that happens in this
rhetoric that you hear from these woke people, like you
should not be looking at the world this way where
it's all just like white people, this, black people, this.
Actually everyone's an individual, and some white people are very
(19:58):
educated and very informed, and some white people are deeply
ignorant and foolish, and some black people are extremely educated
and informed, and some black people have no idea about
anything and are totally ignorant. Like this is these categorical
group statements and declarations are not just useless, but are
(20:18):
inherently flattening to the reality of the world we live in.
And this whole thing about like, well, the government affects
white people less. I'm not even sure that's true at
a broad level, but it's absolutely not true about any
individual there maybe a white person who's been deeply harmed
by a specific government policy and a black person over
here who's never had an issue in their life with anything.
(20:40):
So it's just like a totally useless and broken framework
for analyzing things in my view, not to say there's
never a way to discuss race or that these things
don't impact our lives in any way, of course, I'm
not saying that, but to do it like this is
just so reductive, and then the whole thing, I mean,
it comes off. I just can't listen to anything you're saying.
(21:01):
When the smoke detectors like that, Like I'm still not
over that brou I'm not. I'll play you one final
video discussing white culture. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
You're telling me we're not allowed to study whiteness and
what white culture is because it's simply just passive aggression, aggression,
gas lighting, narcissism, not taking accountability for your inventions like racism,
but then taking accountability of other people's inventions like the
cell phone, and then totally ignoring the fact that y'all
were too lazy to be racist in the first place.
(21:37):
You weren't even racist, you were just lazy, and then
you became racist after we all discovered how lazy you were,
and then we got our rights. You created racism to
justify your own laziness. You weren't even racist during slavery.
You were just a piece of shit. No wait, but
I promise you guys, it's not that deepest seriously, not
that deep, Like, don't think about it that hard.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
What the actual heck did I just watch These people
are really really not okay. They're just not okay. I mean,
I will say this, I actually find it concerning how
much like pretty explicit anti white racism there is on
the internet, particularly social media, and particularly like TikTok. There
(22:18):
really is this just open hatred for whiteness and white
culture and white people, And I don't really think that's
a healthy way to look at the world. Like I
think any white person you meet you should treat them
as an individual and not make assumptions that they're aggressive
or passive aggressive because of some sort of collective impression
you have of the whites, which is not even really
(22:41):
like a meaningful category that you could decide who's in
it and who is not in it and when you
really get down to it. Camille Foster has actually talked
about this. He's a writer and a journalist. The racial
groups are not actually as clear and unambiguous as many
people think. But regardless, the same way that it would
be wrong to make some sort of generalization about white
(23:04):
about black culture and then meet a black person and
make a bunch of assumptions about them, Yeah, you shouldn't
really be doing that to white people either, especially when
those assumptions are like insane and baseless. What do you
mean white people invented racism? That is not true racism?
And basically all forms of in group outgroup bias are
(23:25):
kind of an inherent aspect of human nature. That tribalism
that I think was a survival impulse and perhaps evolutionarily developed,
but is one that, you know, because we're thinking people
with reason and rationality, or at least some of us are,
we're able to overcome with those critical thinking skills and
realize that it's actually not like that anymore and doesn't
(23:49):
have to be. And thankfully we can all treat each
other as individuals and get along and not necessarily devolve
into our tribes or whatever. But people like this really
do sound like they really they sound very similar to
the alt right, white nationalists. Racist. The way they talk
about black people is the same way that people like
this talk about white people. And I think it's all awful.
(24:11):
I think it's all grotesque, and I think it's all
just dividing our country and making people pitting people against
each other in the worst way imaginable. But other than that,
she's doing amazing. What do you guys think of all
these crazy TikTok videos? Let me know which one of

I'm a transgender woman, I'm now a cat meal, i
am now non binary.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
That ends, and why so people over on TikTok are
losing their minds. We're going to react to more insane,
woke tiktoks in this bonus episode of the Brad Versus
Everyone podcasts, my daily show where we take on the
(00:25):
craziest ideas from across the Internet, our media, and our politics,
all from an independent perspective. Sometimes I do these bonus
videos on the weekends where I react to insane tiktoks
because you guys are a little sick in the head
and you enjoy watching me suffer. So up, First, we're
going to listen to perhaps the most incoherent rant from
(00:47):
a transactivist on TikTok that I have ever heard. In boy,
that's saying something. Buckle up and get ready to get
slightly dumber as we take a listen.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I'm a trans I'm now a cat me, I am
now non binary, and now I am a transwoman again.
Did you notice how I didn't explode Gender is whatever
the fuck you want it to be. This rock is
gender that's actually non binary. There are as many genders
as there are people in the world. So when people
say that I can't change my gender, they don't know
(01:21):
that in this conversation that I'm currently having with you,
I have already switched to non binary, the same way
that my pronouns are now vey them. Although trans women's
pronouns already become vey them if somebody doesn't like them,
and in that bit they changed to jiz and while
they changed to gizur, I'm now a transwoman again. Pronouns
do not correlate to gender at all. It's just how
(01:42):
you want to be referred to, like your name, and
your name does not correlate to your gender unless you're
non binary. So if your name doesn't correlate to your gender,
then your pronouns also don't correlate to your gender. Your
identity is something that you have complete control over and
you can do whatever you want with Oh, so if
I wanted to say I'm a psyclone, would you let me? Yes,
do what you want. Gender is a social construct, do
(02:05):
whatever the you want with it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, are you trying to make the LGBT community
look like a joke? Are you trying to lose rights? Like?
I really don't know what to tell you, because if
you were trying to convince people that this entire community
was insane, then you're doing amazing Other than that, I mean,
this just did not hit the way that you hoped
(02:30):
it hit, my friend. I mean, you don't seem to
realize this. Lots of these kinds of radical transactivist types
don't seem to realize this. But if gender means everything,
then it also means nothing. And if your gender can
fluctuate three times in the space of thirty seconds, you
should probably seek help first and foremost, But two, then
(02:53):
it's not actually an inherent or meaningful part of who
you are. Your gender identity that has to be respected.
You see that, right, Like the math here is not mathing.
And the other problem is that in this kind of argument,
they're making a distinction between gender and biological sex, where
they argue gender is you know, how you feel, or
(03:15):
the role you play in society or whatever they basically
mean like your personality. And even then I would say,
if your personality is switching three times in the space
of a sixty second TikTok video, that's probably an issue
you should discuss with a medical professional. But regardless, a
lot of people like don't accept that distinction. They don't
accept the idea of gender as personality and just view
(03:36):
gender as a synonym for biological sex, which can't change
and can't fluctuate thirty times in a span of sixty seconds.
It can't change at all. It's an immutable biological reality.
And then there's just a layer of incoherence to this
video that I found amusing, Like pronouns do not correlate
(03:58):
to gender? What? Then? Why are y'all so pressed if
people don't use your pronouns and they're invalidating your gender idea?
I thought they don't. Do they matter so much that
misgendering someone is cruel and mean? Or do they not
correlate to gender? Y'all are going to have to make
your minds up, because it can't be both, at least
not if your goal is to make any sense at all.
(04:21):
Like what and the same thing with the name, Your
name does not correlate to your gender? Oh well, that's
news to me because transactivists have said you can't use
their old name, that's dead naming and that invalidates their identity.
But here you are saying it doesn't correspond to their gender.
So I can't keep up and I am not the
only one. Seriously, most normal Americans are never going to
(04:45):
understand this radical gender ideology that this person is espousing,
and allowing it to be conflated with my rights as
a gay man is one of the biggest strategic and
political errors of modern history. Really, really, I mean, these
people are essentially you could almost call them identity anarchists,
(05:06):
and the position that they take is laughable. Your identity
is something you have complete control over and can do
whatever you want. Obviously that's not true. Would this person
be fine with people identifying as black when they are
in fact white. Something tells me they're not, Like you
cannot just have your unlimited right to identify as whatever
(05:26):
you want. Objective reality does still exist now. I have
never really had any problem treating trans people who just
have gender dysphoria and want to live as if they
are the opposite sex, but don't literally think they are,
you know, treating them how they want to be treated
because they have, you know, a unique medical condition, and
that's what will alleviate It. Has really never been any
(05:49):
skin off my back. It's something I'm okay with, and
I think a lot of people are. But when you
ask us to deny reality or pretend that people can
self identify as whatever they want, and it's perfectly valid.
It's just never going to happen. It's never going to happen.
So I don't know this kind of ideology, and it's
not just some random TikToker. This kind of identity anarchism
(06:11):
or gender ideology is embedded in the core of the
LGBT activist movement, the groups, the nonprofits, the rhetoric, and
it is incoherent and self destructive beyond belief. What do

And up next, we've got a helpful lesson for us
pesky gay men who are still heteronormative. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
In fact, you can be homosexual and heteronormative at the
same damn time.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Is a great example. So I actually kind of agree
with this TikTok. I just don't agree that it's a
bad thing. So heteronormative has always been one of the
sillier woke terms to me because the definition, if you
look it up, denoting or relating to a worldview that
promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation. Now
I don't know about preferred. I think it's fine for
(07:19):
people to be gay. Obviously that we would, I do acknowledge,
be in trouble if everyone was gay, because we do
need heterosexual people to biologically reproduce. However, the idea that
it's bad to view heterosexuality as the norm has never
and that's like problematic from the woke perspective, has never
made any sense to me because it literally just is
(07:40):
the norm. It's like most people, that's the definition of
the norm. And yet with this particular rhetorical twist and accusation,
they seek to portray gay people who acknowledge reality as
inherently problematic, and that is absolutely wild to me. Like,
I know y'all are on your d Lulu island and
(08:01):
living in fantasyland, but those of us who choose not
to join you are not. You know, somehow traders are
bad or evil. I simply do not agree with this.
But apparently, you know the alphabet people, the Wi Fi
password community on TikTok. They really are not in touch
with average opinion or common sense at all, at least
(08:25):
a lot of them. And this next video makes that
crystal crystal clear.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
No, there are no serious concerns about fairness in sports
related to trans people. You want to know how I
know because fairness in sports only comes up related to
trans people. If it was about fairness in sports, there
would be a variety of leagues in every kind of
sport that was based on your height, your weight, and
(08:51):
other characteristics that have nothing to do with your gender
or your gender expression identity, with what puberty you went through.
Anyone who is trying to have a converse about trans
rights and agrees to do it in the terms that
conservatives and transpogues want to have that conversation is a loser,
a loser incapable of leading because I have serious concerns.
(09:14):
I have serious concerns about trans people being allowed to
live in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, so I'm going to have to disagree with you
on that one. I do think people have serious concerns
about biologically male people competing in women's sports, and I
do think some of the high profile examples of that
illustrate those concerns, the Lea Thomas situation, some of these
high school level athletic competitions where you see a biologically
(09:39):
male student competing with girls and kind of dominating. It's
not to say it's a super common occurrence, but the
fact that it happens at all strikes people as absurd.
And the other funny thing about this is that many
of these people are on the progressive side of the
political spectrum and for a long time claim to be
the follow the science crowd, but when it comes to
(10:00):
under in sex, they're essentially science deniers. They're biology deniers,
like biology truthers who don't really acknowledge that the biology
of human sex exists. And it is funny to me
just the number of like objectively untrue statements thrown in
here willy nilly, like, oh, fairness in sports only comes
up related to trans people. That's just not true. Any
(10:20):
sports fan will tell you. I mean, there's like doping scandals,
there's all sorts of concerns about fairness that affect every sport,
and down to them regulating you know, the exact gear
you're allowed to use. And not use. Fairness is taken
very seriously in athletics. It's not just brought up when
it comes to trans people. That's totally nonsensical. And then
people like this, they don't really seem to realize the
(10:42):
difference between distinctions and differences within a category. And then
categorical distinctions so like yes, your height or your weight
or other things that very person to person within a
category do contribute to some degree of unfairness. Sports is
never going to be perfectly fair. However, the categorical distinctions
(11:05):
are much bigger, and they exist for a reason. I mean,
it would really be interesting. These kinds of people will
never really have conversations, typically with people like me, but
to ask them like, well, okay, then why do women's
sports exist as a separate division. Why don't we just
all have one team for everything and may the best
person make it? We all know because for most sports,
(11:26):
I'm not going to in most cases, I'm not going
to say in every single sport and every single case,
women wouldn't get to play because there's a categorical chasm
in certain physical attributes between males and females, and so
conflating that with differences within the categories is just not honest.
And it's interesting because this person's cites, Well, how could
(11:47):
you even compromise on any of this when we're concerned
about trans people being allowed to live now? In one sense,
that fear is unfounded because I've covered this before. Thankfully,
trans people are not killed or murdered at higher rates
than anyone else in America. That is a myth. But
I mean, I do understand the argument that like, okay, well,
(12:07):
trans adults lives and ability to be themselves and live
how they want is being restricted in some ways. I've
always been pretty clear about the fact that I firmly
believe in any adults right to live how will make
them happiest, and if that means transitioning, so be it. However,
what's so deeply ironic, and we've seen some places roll
(12:27):
back and restrict adults ability to do things, and I
don't support that. But what's so ironic about this person
talking about transadults ability to live is under jeopardy is
that it's literally happening because of people like you. Right
like five ten years ago, and nobody was pushing to
control what a trans adults could do, you know, whether
they could medically transition or not. But the trans community
(12:50):
hijack got hijacked by such extreme activism, including on things
like sports, that people decided the whole movement was absurd
and lost sympathy for it. So it's like, you can't
see that people like you are the problem. Sorry, not sorry,
it's just the truth. What do you guys think? Let
me know in the comments. Hit that like button while
you're at it, and make sure you're subscribed. Up next,
(13:12):
we're going to react to the wildest TikTok crash out
I've seen in a long time from a woke white
woman who dumped her long term boyfriend, who she says
she loved dearly for the most unhinged political reason imaginable.
Let's listen to her story and buckle up, because this
(13:33):
one's a wild one.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I broke up with my boyfriend, someone I love, someone
I have known for over ten years, because he didn't
stand up to misogynistic young men when he was given
the opportunity. We had just finished watching Adolescents, a mini
series on Netflix that essentially talks about how boys are
being more and more radicalized online, how parents aren't paying attention,
and how it's really up to men to help solve
(13:57):
this problem, because they're surely not going to listen to us.
So we were walking to the farmer's market and right
behind us were two boys, probably thirteen or fourteen years old,
and they were saying things like Trump is the best,
what has he ever done? He has more followers online.
I don't get why no one would like him. And
I was seething because my six 's four handsome, white
privileged boyfriend wasn't saying anything. And so finally I stop.
(14:20):
I turn around and I get right in their face
and I said, he's a fin rapist. He's as certified
fin therapist. And they go white in the face. Boyfriend
still just standing there, not saying anything. Once the boys
get their bearings, they say something like Trump is my daddy.
Trump is your daddy, and I was furious. I had
a full blown crash out. I took my full morning
(14:42):
latte and I smashed it on the ground and I
grunted and yelled and walked away, and he's.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Like, what's the murder?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
You are the matter?
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Not even lois so.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Much him because he had an opportunity to stand up
against misogyny and he freaking didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Holy shit, bro dodged an absolute bullet. Oh my god,
what do you mean You claim you love this person,
have known your boyfriend for a decade, and yet you
dumped him over one social interaction where you didn't like
the way he handled it. You know that's insane, right, Like,
(15:19):
that's the kind of thing a loving relationship you would
potentially work through talk about, be like, hey, I didn't
like the way you handled this. Can we discuss how
maybe in the future you could do this? But no, yeah,
just crash out and dumb your boyfriend for no reason. Now,
in this case, I support it because he needs to
get as far away from you as possible, and potentially
also like, we need a restraining order keeping this person
(15:40):
away from kids, because it is absolutely insane for a
grown ass adult to crash out on random young boys
because they said they like the president of the United States.
Like people are allowed to have different opinions than you,
They're allowed to support candidates you don't like, and freaking
(16:02):
out on children in public and going like rage mode
is not a healthy or normal way to react to
simply people expressing an opinion that like half the country believes.
So Also, I mean this whole. He's a thing that
is not some like objective, neutral, verified fact. That is
an allegation that has been made that some people believe
(16:24):
and some people do not believe. So it's not as
if they all agree yeah he is, and we don't care,
like you're clearly grappling with a straw man there. They
don't believe that. Now we could discuss whether they should.
But again, having a full blown crash out, throwing your
drink into the ground and losing your crap well for
(16:45):
something teenagers said is insane to me. I mean, listen,
this hasn't happened to me, but say that I was
like walking with my boyfriend and some thirteen year old
boys like yelled slurs at us or yelled something. I
would just keep it moving. I would roll my eyes
at them and keep it moving because as an adult
like you. And to be clear, these kids did nothing
(17:07):
like that, Like they didn't even do anything wrong. Really,
they're just talking amongst themselves and saying their opinion. But
even if literal kids did do something wrong or something
upsetting or something offensive, a grown adult should not crash
out like this over the words of teenagers. Like everything
about that gives mentally unstable gives, mentally ill gives, I
(17:28):
lack the resilience of a functioning adult. It really is clinical,
clinical levels of derangement we're seeing here, And is so
funny to me because her boyfriend just acted normal, like
he just reacted to this situation how a normal person
would react, and you dumped him for it. But again
(17:50):
I support it because bro absolutely dodged a bullet. He
absolutely did. Now, while we are on the topic of
crazy woke white ladies, let's listen to this bizarre video
from another one from this interesting demographic. Take a listen
to this.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You know why people of color are more educated than
white people because people of color are the ones who
have been affected most by the government, so it only
makes sense that they would educate themselves. Therefore, it makes
sense that white people are the most uneducated people out
of everyone, because we've been least affected by shit. So
why would we look into the history of the government
(18:31):
when it didn't affect us. We're always safe, aren't we.
The answer is no to that question. By the way,
we're not safe. Educate yourself because it is white privilege
when you remain uneducated. Because this shit doesn't affect you directly,
and that is a fact.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh my god, Please don't tell me to educate myself
when you can't even change the batteries and your smoke detector.
That is. I think that noise drives me insane when
it's in the background of videos. Oh my goodness, I'm
literally crashing out because of that. I'm gonna throw my
latte on the ground. No, I'm actually not. But I
(19:13):
don't know how to engage with this because this is
just literally not true, like by any statistical measure of
educational attainment or like other things, white people are not
the least educated democratics. Is just not true. You're just
in fantasyland. And if you're just ascribing some like vague
notion about how awake to the government they are, that's
(19:35):
not really measurable or testable. So how we could prove
that one way or another, I don't know. But I
just really hate this weird collectivization that happens in this
rhetoric that you hear from these woke people, like you
should not be looking at the world this way where
it's all just like white people, this, black people, this.
Actually everyone's an individual, and some white people are very
(19:58):
educated and very informed, and some white people are deeply
ignorant and foolish, and some black people are extremely educated
and informed, and some black people have no idea about
anything and are totally ignorant. Like this is these categorical
group statements and declarations are not just useless, but are
(20:18):
inherently flattening to the reality of the world we live in.
And this whole thing about like, well, the government affects
white people less. I'm not even sure that's true at
a broad level, but it's absolutely not true about any
individual there maybe a white person who's been deeply harmed
by a specific government policy and a black person over
here who's never had an issue in their life with anything.
(20:40):
So it's just like a totally useless and broken framework
for analyzing things in my view, not to say there's
never a way to discuss race or that these things
don't impact our lives in any way, of course, I'm
not saying that, but to do it like this is
just so reductive, and then the whole thing, I mean,
it comes off. I just can't listen to anything you're saying.
(21:01):
When the smoke detectors like that, Like I'm still not
over that brou I'm not. I'll play you one final
video discussing white culture. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
You're telling me we're not allowed to study whiteness and
what white culture is because it's simply just passive aggression, aggression,
gas lighting, narcissism, not taking accountability for your inventions like racism,
but then taking accountability of other people's inventions like the
cell phone, and then totally ignoring the fact that y'all
were too lazy to be racist in the first place.
(21:37):
You weren't even racist, you were just lazy, and then
you became racist after we all discovered how lazy you were,
and then we got our rights. You created racism to
justify your own laziness. You weren't even racist during slavery.
You were just a piece of shit. No wait, but
I promise you guys, it's not that deepest seriously, not
that deep, Like, don't think about it that hard.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
What the actual heck did I just watch These people
are really really not okay. They're just not okay. I mean,
I will say this, I actually find it concerning how
much like pretty explicit anti white racism there is on
the internet, particularly social media, and particularly like TikTok. There
(22:18):
really is this just open hatred for whiteness and white
culture and white people, And I don't really think that's
a healthy way to look at the world. Like I
think any white person you meet you should treat them
as an individual and not make assumptions that they're aggressive
or passive aggressive because of some sort of collective impression
you have of the whites, which is not even really
(22:41):
like a meaningful category that you could decide who's in
it and who is not in it and when you
really get down to it. Camille Foster has actually talked
about this. He's a writer and a journalist. The racial
groups are not actually as clear and unambiguous as many
people think. But regardless, the same way that it would
be wrong to make some sort of generalization about white
(23:04):
about black culture and then meet a black person and
make a bunch of assumptions about them, Yeah, you shouldn't
really be doing that to white people either, especially when
those assumptions are like insane and baseless. What do you
mean white people invented racism? That is not true racism?
And basically all forms of in group outgroup bias are
(23:25):
kind of an inherent aspect of human nature. That tribalism
that I think was a survival impulse and perhaps evolutionarily developed,
but is one that, you know, because we're thinking people
with reason and rationality, or at least some of us are,
we're able to overcome with those critical thinking skills and
realize that it's actually not like that anymore and doesn't
(23:49):
have to be. And thankfully we can all treat each
other as individuals and get along and not necessarily devolve
into our tribes or whatever. But people like this really
do sound like they really they sound very similar to
the alt right, white nationalists. Racist. The way they talk
about black people is the same way that people like
this talk about white people. And I think it's all awful.
(24:11):
I think it's all grotesque, and I think it's all
just dividing our country and making people pitting people against
each other in the worst way imaginable. But other than that,
she's doing amazing. What do you guys think of all
these crazy TikTok videos? Let me know which one of
these was your favorite? I don't least favorite, I'm not sure.
