Speaker 1 (00:00):
Positive note. I want to congratulate all of the male
to female transgender athletes making a splash in high school
competitions in blue states this spring, the support from the
Washington Times. Looking at California, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington State.
They're winning races, capturing roster spots in basketball, skiing, track
and field. Really exciting for equality. Jack. Here's a skier
(00:24):
in California and well, there's this dad whose daughter was
pushed off the podium and probable scholarship by a transgender athlete,
and so he seems kind of gripy about it. And oh,
here's some girls who are beat by what some call
biological males, and they seem kind of unhappy about it too.
I guess they're against equality. They're transphobes. I could go
(00:47):
through the list, but you can guess. Here's a former
fella who is in seventh seventy second place the previous
year on the boys team. This year set the school
record and capture the gold medal.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Oh wow, now that he is a shay Wow. That's unbelievable.
How have they not figured this out yet?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
How many former girls are whooping ass in male sports
huh answer that question.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
For me, folks, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And then you have this and you know the reason
we're bringing this up. Probably should set this up a
little bit is, as Jack observed last hour, the whole
this is Pride Month, and you will be happy about it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Push has gotten enormous. God, I'd say it is everywhere
we're in. In fact, we're gonna play a clip of
ABC's big promo for their month long specials that they
plan to have around this whole thing. It's so much
bigger than it's ever before. And the juice, the fire,
the engine seems to be the trans issue.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, do you want to play that now?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh with me? Do we have that already? Okay? Cool?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
The Senate bill one band's gender affirming medical care for
trans youth, restriction bathroom access and van discussion of sexual
orientation and gender identity in the schools.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We can make common sense decisions here that protect our children.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
In Kentucky, Senator Berg held the floor repeatedly urging lawmakers
not to target young people. They deserve to exist.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
So ABC, presenting it in near apocalyptic tones that the
forces of evil are out to get the world of
trans and luckily ABC is stepping up to alert people
to the threat of all the whack jobs out there
who aren't on board with everything that is trans All
(02:41):
of a sudden, I really think, God, if I'm wrong,
this is the most wrong I've ever been in my life.
I really don't think the whole country is where bud Light, ABC,
what was the other big one target thinks that we are.
I really don't think so.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, that's absolutely true, absolutely true. And and the fact
that nobody on the pro side talks about the experimental
treatments on kids except to say they're much more likely
to commit suicide because they're trands. So you have to
have them transition.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You have to do it. You have to.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It's just it's utterly untrue. There's no data to support
that whatsoever. But you know, if you're again, for the
million of the time, an adult who's made some sort
of decision your the other sex, go ahead, that's fine.
I wish you along and happy life. But this experimenting
on kids has become part of the whole Pride Month thing.
It's not like, hey, I'm down with K people. I'm
fine with K people. Of course I am doing. Marriage
is perfectly fine, perfectly legal. Right. For instance, it's now
(03:42):
so much more than that you're supposed to be down
with the entire queer theory thing, that there's no such
thing as men and women and kids ought to be
able to be anything they want, even though it's clearly
a craze among confused adolescents.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well the sports thing. Also, what percentage of Americans look
at former boy now girl setting school records? I again,
maybe I'm just so wrong. I'm the most wrong I've
ever been, But I can't believe that the majority opinion
in America is no. That makes sense. That seems like
(04:17):
a good idea, right right.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Well, I'll get to why it's so insidious, but I
wanted to drop this in really quickly. Do you remember
Chris Beck, Navy seal who went transgender became Christen Beck.
A big deal was made of that if somebody is
manly and tough as a Navy seal could be transgender,
well then it must be fine and good. Well he's
now detransitioned instead. So yeah, no, you didn't, did you.
(04:42):
So I was in mental health counseling from a graduate
degree here at university where I live, and so I
was learning all the procedures. I was learning all about
human development from birth all the way up to twenty
five years old. You're still developing your brain. So the
thing is he says, is that when you're going through
these courses, they're coaching you, and they're coaching you on
what to say to parents, and they're not showing you
all the day. So one of the biggest piece of
data they're missing right now is that eighty percent of
(05:03):
the kids who are going through gender dysphoria or gender
confusion either before or during puberty, eighty percent of those
kids are corrected. They'll get rid of all that gender
confusion by the time puberty is over eighty percent. It
is a brief stage of kids development these days because
they're being pushed on it in school all the time.
(05:25):
I think he added that puberty blockers are another irv
irreversible step and can impact minors fertility in the future. Quote,
if a kid goes on puberty blockers when they're thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen years old, they're chemically castrated. They're not going to
have children when they get older. They're not given this data.
So eight of those kids, eight out of ten are
going to want to go back to being just a
regular old person, and they're not going to be able
(05:46):
to if they have this experimental stuff. And here's why
this stuff bothers me so much. There are a number
of reasons. Number one, I've watched and raised and coached
so many kids and watched them go through adolescent confusion,
trying to grab an identity, trying to figure out who
they are, you know, hairstyles and clothing styles and makeup
(06:07):
styles and I'm a goth and whatever it's and we
all did it. I did it myself. But there are
activists who are seizing on that momentary confusion to advance
a radical agenda. And the article about the male born
athletes dominating, there were a couple of instances. Oh, and
there's a story about a gal University of Cincinnati who
got a zero on a paper because she used the
(06:28):
term biological female or biological women and was told that
is utterly unacceptable, that's transphobic, it's exclusionary, we don't use
that term. You, Jack, were the first person who explained
this to me, clearly years ago, when we were talking
about the current or the at the time, the current
dictator of North Korea, Kim Il Sung who is or
(06:51):
was it his fat headed son claim headed son claimed
to have aced eighteen holes in a row a golf match. Really, ah, yeah,
at eighteen is a good score. I kind of going
for a while yesterday. But no, no, no consecutive holes
in one. None, Well, my par five's are difficult. Well, right,
(07:12):
a hold on hitter Kim Il Sung anyway or Kim
Jong yiel I think it was, but you pointed out
they don't say that. So the North Koreans think their
dear leader is a fabulous golfer. They make that claim
because as everybody says, great round, sir, that's fantastic. Eighteen
(07:33):
consecutive holes and run in one. That's wonderful. Good job.
It's not the information, it's the submission they're looking for.
You have to submit to statements, no matter how ridiculous,
or you're in serious trouble. And a male competing is
quote unquote a female and me being told you have
(07:54):
to say that's a woman. That's like saying Kim Il
Sung or whoever it was made eighteen second of holes
in one. You are forcing me to submit and to
say something I know to be untrue.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It is as an active submission kind of similar. If
you're there and everybody's cheering the former boy stepping to
the top of the podium to get the gold medal,
and everybody's cheering you, you would have to really be
you'd be calling a lot of attention to yourself if
you were to say, wait a second, this is crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Absolutely, But as orwell, you know from nineteen eighty four
taught us. You know, war is peace, freedom is slavery,
ignorance is strength. Everybody's heard the quote. But the point
is not that a big brother was confused and had
lost his dictionary. The point was these words mean what
we tell you they mean, and you will say, yes,
war is peace, even though you know it to be untrue.
(08:48):
It's an active submission. Man.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
When this started happening a couple of years ago, I
didn't think it would last very long. But it's growing.
It sounds like especially in high school sports. Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, it's it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy, and it's unfair
to the girls, brutal. And the arguments. You know, I
could tell you some of the arguments in favor of it,
but they're nonsense. Well, there's a huge variation. Men, I mean,
some men are very small and weak, so you can't
say that men have an advantage. Man, I take a
critical thinking class. Please just one for me. I'll pay
(09:21):
for it. That would be fine.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, ask a similar question we asked last week. The
five years from now, are we further down the road
of former boys dominating girls sports or will we have
fixed this somehow? Fixed?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Definitely, just because it may take a while for people
to sort out that, oh this stuff, I'm being swept along,
to being forced more or less to say it or
to do it, or to smile and applaud and say
it's a good thing. The more I think about it,
the more it doesn't make any sense. And as they
live with it and witness it and maybe see their
(09:56):
kid become a victim of it, or you know, like
the emails we got last week, which were amazing, a
couple of different parents of adolescents saying, it's swept through
the school. All of my daughter's friends now claim to
be a polyamorous or pangender or gender fluor or it's
just it's and it's funny. It reminds me of a
meme alert listener, Aaron senses this meme. It's a bearded
(10:18):
dude in a dress in front of a Zara store
and the caption is it's from a news story a
transgender woman feels dehumanized and humiliated that they wouldn't admit
her into the women's changing rooms. And so you know,
it's a multi level. Number One, I need to say
(10:40):
that's a woman I need to submit to that it's
plainly not a woman I'm looking at him. And secondly,
this white dude now gets to be the victim. He's
the victim class. He's a brave, non typical person and
he needs to be celebrated and lauded for that. And
(11:00):
that's another message the kids get over and over again.
I can be the oppressor, or I can get affection
and support and love and be the cause celeb in
my classroom. And all I have to do is say
I'm bisexual, even though I'm not sexual at all.
Positive note. I want to congratulate all of the male
to female transgender athletes making a splash in high school
