@mi5anthrope Show me some evidence that there is a developmental difference between races that would allow you to identify as a race other than your own. In fact, before you do this, show me some evidence that race is actually a meaningful concept in any way whatsoever.
Gender identity is something people are born with. Identifying as part of a cultural group is learned and social in nature. Maybe you should check if there is a solid foundation under you before throwing up strawmen.
@logofreetv: maybe you should look up something called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome... or anything that pertains to research concerning gender variance and/or sexual orientation. Also, if you have super mad google skills, why not try "George Rekers." =)
YOU are absolutely fantabulous. :) You have a strong voice, and even though you're scared (as most of us in the confused middle ground are) in general, you're being brave enough to speak out. Don't ever stop that. Kids like Bobby need people like you.
I've always enjoyed playing with both girls and boys as long as we enjoy the same activities. Being a girl scouts was never an issue with me, it's simply fun. I can't say I ever leaned toward other boys aside from those awkward middle school years where girls didn't care about the stuff I did.
If a kid wants to be a girl scout than be it. It's a nice group.
Thank you for this video! After watching the video you are responding to, I was appalled and wanted a way to point out the flaws in her logic. Then I saw your response video and I think you did it justice, so thank you!
Doesnt anybody on this site believe in god? God is perfect. He doesnt make mistakes. Only he knows why he made you the way you are. Don't try to change it.
It's a shame really. Whenever truly spiritual people voice FACTS from the Bible( You know, the book that most people need to read), they always get slammed for being closed minded. So what? Am I supposed to love the guy down the street who digs me? Rainbowjunkie, and all HER supporters are disgusting.
@Are115020 If you believe that God is perfect and doesn't make mistakes, and also believe in the FACTS of the Bible, I would love to point out to you that you are just as "sinful" according to your book, as any other person. Jesus hung out with liars, thieves, and whores. Isn't one of the things the Bible tells people to "be Christlike?" Also, I would like to point out that Jesus didn't like "religious" people. Religious people killed Jesus. Hm.
@barefootwits There are some FACTS in the Bible that go a little like this: If a man rapes a woman, the way for him to "correct" this is by marrying her, and he can always take on other wives. If you plant two herbs in the same garden, or wear clothes made of two different threads, or touch the skin of a dead pig (IE: football) then you are committing sins, according to the Bible. There are more. I'd be more than happy to quote them all. Please go read the BOOK that you follow.
@barefootwits But Jesus wasnt friends with those liars, theives, and whores. He was trying to banish the devil from them, just as I like to do to all you LGBTs!
Those religious people that killed Jesus were corrupted by SATAN, just like you LGBT. Get behind me Satan!
@Are115020 Jesus still LOVED those liars, thieves, and whores. He treated them like they were actual human beings. (Also, Jesus never once mentioned LGBT people in any way.)
@Are115020 The religious people that killed Jesus were corrupted by their own skewed religion. Just like people like you are so corrupted that you say things to LGBT people that cause them so much grief and cause them to feel so unloved that they take their own lives.
and people like you are corrupted for supporting the SINFUL behavior of LGBT's, who are also corrupted. The religious people were swayed by SATAM, you know, the one posessing the LGBT's.
You act like its a good thing to be LGBT. Thats a sick thing that will get you burned in Nigeria, and Arabia.
@Are115020 And people like you are corrupted for misinterpreting the words of the Bible, picking-and-choosing verses, and using it to spread hatred, which it ACTUALLY tells people not to do. LGBT people were made by God and are loved by God.
And, also, newsflash: There are LGBT people in Nigeria and Arabia.
And people like you are corrupted for justifying the Sinful behavior of those people. I'm using the verses to spread the WORD of GOD, something you people lack.
Also newsflash: Yes there are LGBT's in those two countries. Thats why they are soaked with gasoline, and burnt!
@Are115020 You seriously need to go read your book and understand the history of it. It was written by MEN, as I believe I stated earlier. You are using the verses of men. To spread hatred. Good job.
Also, newsflash: The LGBT people in those two countries are on their way to being supported and most of them are actually quite safe. They just have to live their lives in fear of people like YOU.
Yes, it was written by men.... who knew the Word of God. I'm not spreadidng hatred. Im just trying to spread my views on this whole situation. Next thing I know, all you supporters start bombarding me with insults just because I'm not accepting their sick behavior.
Look, I'm not going to shake hands with a man who just smeared feces on his palms now would I?
@Are115020 WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU? YOU GOTTA PROBLEM. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN LEAVE AMERICA, NOBODY GONE MISS YO IGNORANT ASS. PEOPLE LIKE YOU IS WHY AMERICA IS FUCKED UP
@Are115020 It was written by men who had their own perceptions and sinned just like everyone else. By calling LGBT people "sick," you are spreading a mass amount of hatred. You should be reading what you're writing before you say that it isn't harmful.
I bet you wouldn't shake hands with a lot of people. Not really what Jesus called us to do, now, is it?
@Are115020 "Bigot" is a descriptive word that describes a person spreading hatred. I think it rather suits you, and if you take offense to that, you should ask yourself why, if you believe it doesn't apply to you so much.
So you're basically saying you would only shake hands with people who suit you or who you deem respectable people, and you would ignore everyone else and treat them disrespectfully. Jesus would be proud.
@Are115020 Jesus freak away! I hope the world rebels against the ignorance next I'd be glad to lynch you instead of hearing about retards proclaim their understanding of humanity and normality just because they read few thousand year old book.
@Are115020 SO DO YOU GO ON EVERY VIDEO DEALIN WITH THE GAY COMMUNITY? WHATS YO INTEREST, YOU A CLOSET CASE OR SOMETHIN, AND DONT WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW? YOU HAVE NO LOGICAL ARGUMENT AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY SO, YOU CAN STOP POSTIN ON VIDEOS DEALIN WITH HOMOSEXUALITY. SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN THEM. YOU'RE AN UNDERCOVER
"Since when does anyone need to know anything about anyone else's genitals" is the best frigging quote I've ever heard. So true. I want to broadcast your video to the entire nation. And for what it's worth, this kind of courage is what makes you more of a man than most of the bio men I know. Cheers.
At best this girl scout is ignorant the difference between identifying as male or female and wanting to be male or female. She interprets the first quote to mean "as long as a boy wants to be a girl, they'll let him join based solely on his wishes and desires." Now... in the past I have wanted to be a girl. I saw a documentary or read something about the bond a woman form with her child and I was envious. I wished I was female. This is a very very different thing than naturally thinking...
Keep it going dude. You're very courageous to speak out against such a common prejudice in the world today. Just know that you have our support and always will.
This is the best response to the original. You are a VERY intelligent, well-spoken, and courageous young man. Thank you for posting and standing up for this cause. Best of luck in your transition and your whole future! You've got it together!
RainbowJunkie - you may feel like "just one of the guys", but you are most definitely a girl. Stereotypical guys don't call themselves names like "RainbowJunkie" or talk about their "feelings of solidarity & brotherhood" or "forging emotional bonds" & they don't get eating disorders. I'm not saying you need to fit this stereotype. On the contrary, be yourself! But don't claim to be something you're not. You're obviously very female. To deny that is silly. Who cares about labels anyway?
@ahobimo732 Actually, 10% of people who develop eating disorders are male. Health practitioners believe the number is higher, but men are ashamed to admit that they have a "girl's problem," so they don't seek the help they so desperately need...once again, because of people like you. Congratulations. Also, I'm not aiming to perpetuate stereotypes. I'm totally fine with being a gay guy. In fact, that's kind of my dream. West Village, frozen yogurt shops, theater, and unisex scarves, here I come!
@raiinbowjunkiie I really am sorry if I misunderstood. But I thought you were identifying yourself as "just an average (heterosexual) guy" which just isn't true. As for eating disorders, I think your statistic proves my point. Even if it's a low estimate, 10% is still a small minority. So even though there are exceptions, it is MOSTLY females who get eating disorders. And I am not shaming anyone. I think exceptional is great. I just don't like inaccurate descriptions.
It's called being a tomboy. I was one and so were my sisters. I related to boys better than girls growing up. Guess what? I married a MAN. I real bonafide man. Just because I grew up getting along with boys better than girls did NOT MAKE ME A BOY!!!! I STILL have a vagina which makes me a GIRL!!!! :)
@COWBOY197801 Then you were obviously NOT TRANSGENDER, but other people ARE. Guess what? They exist and the term "tomboy" doesn't apply, because being transgender is completely separate.
@COWBOY197801 Yeah, and did you ever watch an Abercrombie commercial and feel stabs of envy instead of attraction because the frame of a man's upper torso, the angle of his jaw, and the aura of his stark masculinity, were all features that you craved to exhibit? Have you ever worked out with a picture of an ideal guy body as your inspiration? Have you ever studied a guy's body as you walked behind him on the street with ardent hope that one day, you could look like that, too? Because I have.
No, you have been female all your life. Sorry that too many people around you pander to your fantasy, but it isn't healthy to deny your sexuality. But I don't really need to argue with you, your own body does that for me - it is made sexually compatible for a male, whether you acknowledge it or not. I'm sorry that political correctness has infected your life to the point where you cannot even accept your own body.
@logofreetv You're confusing the meaning of sexuality with sex and dismissing a very complex subject which has been discussed by many academics for centuries as political correctness.
You are right about one thing though, it isn't healthy to deny your sexuality.
@SOLOcan I think my point is that she is the confused one and I have 7 billion endorsements of my argument, and well, you have zero. It isn't healthy to deny if you are male or female as if you are something else. Sorry if that's too hard for you.
@logofreetv And what of transgendered people whose brain organization and composition resembles that of the gender that they perceive themselves to be? You claim to be grounded in reality, and you allude to fact, when really, you have not even an iota of acquaintance with science.
@logofreetv Technically, all bodies are made to be sexually compatible with all other bodies. Anyone can give anyone else an orgasm and the point of sex ISN'T SOLELY to have children. Shocker! Sorry that your ignorance has infected your life to the point where you cannot accept other people being different than you and just as beautiful as anyone else. Sorry that too many people around you pander to your ignorant fantasy that trans* people don't exist. The real world will shock ya.
@barefootwits That's demonstrably false. There are a range of biological factors involved with normal sex - not just the obvious mechanical aspect - and the fact YOU exist is the ultimate demonstration of the falsehood of your own argument. Btw, I do think people who live in fantasies exist, so I don't know what your point is. But unlike you, I think a girl thinking she is a boy is as wrong as a girl thinking she is a bottle of water. XX exists, and there is the complement - XY. Real world.
@logofreetv Your analogy with the water bottle is false because she's talking about gender identity, you're still confusing sexuality with actual physical sexual attributes.
If you want to flippantly dismiss a topic that has been extensively researched in academia and is a predominate theme in centuries of culture and art without citing any evidence or doing any research that's your prerogative but you should really keep your opinion to yourself in that case.
@SOLOcan Sorry but YOU are confusing sexuality with something that is behavioural, not a criteria for identity. I don't care what so-called credentials exist, if someone cannot argue within reality (ie. male or female) their research is worthless. WORTHLESS. There is nothing flippant about adhering to reality. I'm not the one dismissing the topic, my friend, it is actually you. As for citing evidence - try 7,000,000,000+ to zero. That's not "opinion", that's just fact.
@logofreetv I don't get what your saying by stating the world population? Sex has never been just about reproduction and and argument from that perspective gets less relevant as the world population gets higher.
I also don't see how you can dismiss "credentials" (what does that even mean? I assume you mean experts on this field right) and then claim your sticking to reality. This isn't exactly a new subject, the entire field of psychology began with an investigation on sexuality.
@SOLOcan Sexual behaviour can be studied, of course, but I object to someone shoving their unnatural desires in my face and forcing me to accept them as if those desires are innate and immutable, when enough people have changed their sexual behaviour to make that suggestion absurd. Sex is of course not only about reproduction, but it is nonsensical to deny it completely which is what you are attempting to do. Experts are not 'reality', but reproduction is. 7 billion plus is the evidence.
@logofreetv To be natural simply means to occur within the boundaries of nature. When a scientist dispels a law by coming across its exception, he is stating that there is more than one way for the universe to be exhibited. If a species is capable of harboring variance, this variance becomes a part of what this species may possess in order to be recognized as this species. Everything that is capable of occuring, everything that is physically possible, is natural.
@logofreetv Ok, so this has come down to what you are saying: "I reject you shoving your ideas in my face." Good. So do we, so why don't you just stop commenting, because you've made it clear that you're arguing for the sake of disagreeing, rather than having an actual point. Show me an actual statistic of people who change their sexual orientation or gender identity and I will still not be interested in what you have to say, because one doesn't exist.
@logofreetv Those "ex-gay" ministries where people are sent to be "cured"... yeah, I'm sure you need to go do some research on those and see what actually happens to people there, and when you can give me a reputable, actual source (NOT FROM THOSE MINISTRIES) stating that anyone has left there "cured," maybe you'll gain my attention, but I doubt it, because no sources like that exist. Experts are experts for a reason and you're commenting on YouTube with ignorance. Hilarious!
@barefootwits Well obviously if you accept the fantasy politically correct idea that sexual 'orientation' is immutable, you'll deny everything until the cows come home. I've no doubt you'll deny that the sky is blue on a sunny day and say it is green. But people are born male and female and even if sexual activity does not result in children, I can detail for you several reasons why male/female vaginal sex is the only type healthy for human beings.
@barefootwits Furthermore, are you expecting me to have someone who does not believe that someone can change their sexual habits to then simultaneously admit that you can? You set up your 'criteria' so that it is logically impossible to satisfy it. I'm not playing such an idiotic game. The simple fact is that ONE person changing their lifestyle is enough evidence and there is a great deal more than that - literally thousands. Why do you deny that these people exist?
@logofreetv As stated in comments before, gender identity is a psychological thing that is not set in stone, so yes, I would deny that there are set genders according to a person's genitalia. The colour of the sky, on the other hand, isn't even blue. The LIGHT that enters into the receptors of our eyes makes the sky appear blue. Go back and study some science before you attempt to argue with it. Please, detail away why heterosexual sex is the only "safe" kind and I'll fetch popcorn.
@barefootwits Well, let me answer that by pointing out that this is one of the things this girl gets wrong in her video. A geneticist could determine that she is a girl from virtually ANY part of her body - they would literally only need a drop of blood or a tiny sample of tissue. Genitalia is only the most obvious way of determining sex, but as adults you could for example tell most women apart from men in a room with no light 10ft away and simply getting them to speak! XX or XY. Go learn.
@logofreetv There is a term called androgyny, and it means this: Being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior. A geneticist wouldn't be able to determine the gender of a person by looking at them, hearing them speak, or even looking at their genitalia, because GENDER IDENTITY is psychological, and geneticists would KNOW this because they are professionals and actually pay attention to what their top medical associations state as fact.
@logofreetv Again, XX or XY has nothing to do with what makes up your gender, which is more than proven by the fact that transgender people successfully transition by the use of hormone therapy that does nothing to affect their chromosomes, but their bodies production of either testosterone or estrogen, which determine either masculinity or femininity. Go research, really.
@barefootwits "XX or XY has nothing to do with what makes up your gender" That sentence alone is enough to conclude that it is pointless to argue with you because you have ZERO regard for truth and live in a weird fantasy world. The rest of what you wrote is just mostly nonsense and has little basis in reality. I'm not wasting my time with someone who believes the logical equivalent of 2 +2 =carbonated water. Michael Glatze, Tony Horton, Janet Boynes, Sy Rogers, DL Foster, to name but 5.
@logofreetv Oh, good, you're finally seeing reason that your arguments are invalid and have no place here, because you're just spewing rubbish. I'm glad to see that you just Google search people who claim that they are ex-gay, again, giving us no sources and not even able to state anything about those people. I could continue, but really obviously don't need to.You've shown us you can't do research because you choose to live in ignorance.
@logofreetv I'm asking for you to FIND that ONE person who states that they have had their sexual orientation or gender identity actually changed due to some outward force, and I'm not asking you to find that person from an unreliable source, such as the outward force that would of course claim falsehoods just to back itself up. (Very much like you're doing.) Give me an example of one of those thousands of people. Ex-gay ministries (ect.) are only harmful.
@barefootwits Are you serious? Let me introduce you to this tool called Google with which you can search on terms like "Left homosexual lifestyle". Don't blame me for your ignorance or illogical criteria. I could just as easily deny any pro-homosexual organisations claims as being unreliable. (And I would be more likely to be right than you.) There are plenty of testimonies that exist for people that have walked away from the lifestyle of denying their bodies and stayed away from the delusion.
@logofreetv I could search "Michele Obama porn" on Google and probably find tons of sites and pictures of it. That doesn't mean that any of them are real. There really are no pro-homosexual organizations, because homosexual people understand that you are BORN with your sexual orientation and that it isn't something that develops or can be influenced by outside forces, just like gender identity can't be. There are definitely organizations for people in the LGBT community...
@logofreetv ... and those organizations are there to bring support to those people, not to "turn them gay." Again, show me actual testimonies from people who have walked away from their sexual orientations or gender identities. Actual facts and resources that your brain hasn't provided for you. Try looking up some actual testimonies of people who have been through "ex-gay ministries" and find out the horrible things that they are forced to experience there.
@logofreetv You can start by looking into BBC's "The Making of Me with John Barrowman" and proceed to watching films such as "For the Bible Tells Me So." Those would be actual sources from ACTUAL people, claiming that they were put through terrible things in ex-gay ministries and were more convinced of their identities and orientations than ever before, although probably even more frightened to be themselves BECAUSE of the intolerance they dealt with.
@logofreetv And again, sources directly from those ex-gay ministries are unreliable, and because I've really done some research on this topic, most ex-gay ministries list "cured" people that cannot be located in databases or will not give comment to these claims.
@logofreetv You don't understand the meaning of sexuality or identity. Sexuality is a broad subject that includes behavior. Behavior is also a large part of identity in general even if we ignored sex.
@SOLOcan I'm likely to understand it better than you, since my view is grounded in physical reality, whereas you are doing everything you can to deny the simple binary reality of male and female. What if I just decided that the sky is green on a clear day? Should everyone just pander to my distortion of reality? Why can't you just be more accepting of my 'canopy orientation'? I could spend the rest of my time calling you intolerant and bigoted and hateful for telling me the sky is blue.
@logofreetv Sorry, sexuality is more than just "physical reality". You say you understand it better than me but you keep ignoring the accepted definition in favor of your made up one. Gender identity is different from saying the sky is green because it IS behaviour and not a physical attribute.
You keep saying your grounded in reality yet you post as if transgendered people don't exist IN a video made by a transgendered person talking about another video which IS ABOUT a transgendered person.
@logofreetv Go and tell the top medical associations of your country that their research is useless and see how they reply to you. They'll probably tell you to fuck off and do some research of your own that is actually worth anything. Show me your 7,000,000,000 sources of evidence for your argument, since you seem to have them, and obvious, since so many people are speaking against you, realize that you're outnumbered more than by 0.
@logofreetv The fact that I exist only shows that my parents decided to have sex together and have a child, and I'm more than sure that my parents have had sex and NOT had children from it, thus my point. Sex =/= Reproduction. You can believe that trans* people and those who support them live in fantasy, but you can't ignore that they are real. The proof is right here, and you're very simply just ignoring it.
@logofreetv A girl doesn't "think" she is a boy. A transgender person is born a boy or a girl, but their body doesn't reflect this, so their genders are mistaken due to societal standards that are harmful. XX and XY have nothing to do with your gender, they have to do with your reproductive organs, which, as stated, don't depict your gender. Also, your reproductive organs can fail just as much as any other organ in your body, and you would still be whatever gender you are.
@barefootwits People have realise there's a difference between Sex and gender identity as most of the specifics of gender roles are arbitrary and are not linked to their genitals hence there's purpose for the distinction.
Its funny you tell people to use google to search "left homosexuality lifestyle" (Who would google that? Gay socialists looking for a good time?) when you could just google even simpler terms like gender or sexuality so you can understand what your talking about.
@barefootwits And you still keep mentioning the world population as if we have an obligation to procreate. If anything as that number gets higher that responsibility becomes less relevant. Following your thinking promiscuous people would be morally superior to people in committed relationships.
Surely the pursuit of happiness (a stated goal of a particular nation i'm sure you've heard of) is much more important goal now.
Having known transgendered people of both sexes I can honestly say that there is no from them, as much as the people who cast blame on them for being who they are. Gender is an IDENTITY, sex is and outward characteristic.And yes they do not always match, but that does not mean that they should just deal with the sex that they were given. Tran-people go through so much trouble trying to figure out who they are which is incredbly hard as well as living as the choice to live as who you feel you are
Thank you for this very brave testimonial. It is very moving and educational to hear about your experiences and I appreciate you sharing them in such an honest, intelligent and courageous fashion. Wishing you all the best for your future!
I think the saddest thing is that BSA is nothing like the GSA. I'm a MAAB Transgirl, wasn't presenting or even thinking I was Trans when I was part of BSA and I still didn't like it at all. BSA has sexist leanings, discriminatory against non-christians and even MORE discriminatory against non-theists. It's Racist towards Natives via cultural appropriation, and it's gotten so far from the root purposes that it barely teaches anything.
IF I WERE BORN INTO A GIRLS BODY AND I FELT I WAS REALLY A BOY ID ACCEPT WHO AND WHAT I WAS AND NOT TRY TO CHANGE THAT BY DRESSING LIKE A BOY OR TAPING MY TITS DOWN BECAUSE THATS SOCIALLY AWKWARD AND LYING TO YOUR OWN BODY. ID BRUSH MY HAIR AND WEAR CLOTHING THAT SUITS ME BUT STILL BE STRONG TO WHO I AM AND MY BELIEFS AT THE SAME TIME AS NOT LOOKING LIKE AN ODD PERSON OUT PEOPLE DONT LIKE THAT.. LOOK AT YOURSEL YOU ARE A GIRL, YOU CANT CHANGE THAT. DONT TRY TO
LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE BODY OF A GIRL AND INSTEAD OF PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARENT OR DONT HAVE (LIKE THE BODY OF A GUY) DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND DRESS LIKE A BOY. IF YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE A GIRL IN THE MIRROR THEN PUT ON SOME GIRL CLOTHES DONT GO AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN TRY TO GROW SOME BALLS BECAUSE YOU WONT EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE BORN WITH BALLS THE TRUTH IS YOU WERENT. OTHERWISE YOU JUST LOOK LIKE A WEIRDO TO ME AND IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE
@Cronicwisdom So avert your gaze or do some LSD without a babysitter and gauge your own eyes out. Either way, don't shift the responsibility to change on me.
The girl scouts decision to allow this little girl in is absolutely heartwarming. This girl, who made this video to boycott the girlscouts, needs to grow up.
I'm going to buy a shit ton of girlscout cookies next time I can.
My last year in Girl Scouts was well over ten years ago by now, but after seeing that "girl's" boycott video and your response to it, I almost feel like putting on my vest again despite it totally not fitting me anymore. That girls video was so lacking in passion and so cold that it made me sick to watch it. While yours... man, you show EXACTLY how someone should be when making a point: passionate. She makes me embarrassed to say "I was once a girl scout," You make want some cookies too!
Hey Brother, me again. I would very much like to know the source of your info on androgen exposure in the womb. Could I have the reference please? Also do you know of Vica Papp? She is a very knowledgeable and involved researcher.
Well said. Thank you for being brave enough to stand up for your beliefs. It is for trans girls and boys like yourself that I am proud to pick up the torch and help my little sisters sell LOTS of Girl Scout cookies!
The Girl Scout that wants people to boycott is absolutely right;The people criticizing this girl are immoral morons. The problems with this country are it’s become overrun with idiots and perverts.you talk about tolerance when, what you really want is for everyone to give up their values so you freaks can inject yours.we’re sick of you people.Call us what you want and we’re going call you out for exactly what you are.Its sad you and your kids are messed up but that’s your problem.deal with it
Gays take a seat! 7 is way too young to make a decision like that. Children's minds don't even develop fully until they are 18. What information and environment is this child being raised in? I think all of you need to evaluate what you believe. This kid is 7. Get him some help and away from the parents. If this kid can figure out his sexuality at such a young age then why are peds in jail? If he can make this decision then shouldn't he be able to make a decision about sex? Think fags?
@JusticeForPhoebe For one, SEX has NOTHING to do with GENDER. The only thing your genitals have to do with your gender is the hormones that they produce medically. To a child, your body is a second thought. It doesnt matter/you dont notice, REALLY, it until puberty. UNLESS you are transgendered. As an FTM, I KNEW that I wanted to be treated just like boys. I knew that I wasnt like other girls. I just didnt have a word for it. It's not that I fit the label, the label fit ME.
@JusticeForPhoebe And furthermore, children know more about themselves than children let on. Children know that boys and girls are different physically, but that didnt really matter much. They only mimicked what adults would let them do in front of them. I might have played with barbies (i liked their cloths, im a textile major now), but I LOVED climbling trees, rockclimbing, ropeswinging, and getting dirty. My parents actually FORCED me to act like a girl in front of them.
@JusticeForPhoebe Your SEXUALITY is generally discovered around puberty. But your GENDER is discovered when you are PRE-pubescent and a child. SEX (as in fuck) and SEXUAL ACTS have NOTHING to do with ANY child, whether transgendered or not. Pedophilia is NEVER ok, regardless of a child's gender identity. Sex is only okay between two consenting, legal adults. UNTIL that time, if a girl wants to dress in pants or a boy in a dress who gives a fuck? Let children discover themselves
I am really proud of you for your persistent courage through everything you've been through, and I hope this not only reaches out to people like that twisted girl scout, but also to young lgbtqia people and helps them remember to always be strong and to be who you are in spite of the obstacles. don't ever forget how much of a difference you can, and have, made just by being true to yourself.
OMG! this is so genius! Honey you are right on point, and very articulate. Clean, and straight to the point. Like society wants to give the "gay community/transgender community" the way they want to, You fired and fed it right back at them with YOUR perspective. I am very proud to say that after viewing this video, I have faith in our generation of young trans/gay kids. We are the ones who can put us one step closer to national acceptance and equality. Thank you my dear, you are an inspiration
you seem very well informed. question: you say you've been transgendered your whole life but in earlier videos you look like a girl. by transgender do mean you just behaved male but still kept your female appearance or were inwardly male and weren't ready to share it yet?
This is probably one of the best response videos that I've seen for that boycott girl scout cookies. I adore your passion, and the fact that you spoke up about your own personal experiences is very inspirational. I think the best part about your video is that you used various facts to truly support your claim. It makes me smile to know that so many people are speaking out about this whole ordeal. *hugs* i believe you'd make a great public speaker for the transgender community
Gender identity disorder (GID) is the formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe persons who experience significant gender dysphoria (discontent with their biological sex and/or the gender they were assigned at birth) It is a mental condition. Not a "Physical Brain Alteration" Like the so called Y.T. experts proclaim. Let them be excepted. But I refuse to call something by a name it is not to make all you sensitive metros feel better.
I am a male with three sisters. My mother was a Girl Scout leader for 10 years. I went everywhere with the troop until I was about 10. Wence I joined the Boy Scouts. I slept in a seperate room/tent or with my mom. No one ever objected to me being along. We had great times camping and making stuff. I grew up a normal hetro male now married for 18 years. What's the problem?
I tip my hat to you. Not only were you eloquent and passionate, you did it in a respectful and well thought out manner. Thank you. Thank you for being brave, passionate, and intelligent. Thank you for standing up for your beliefs, and thank you for doing it in a respectful manner. You have my utter admiration and have moved me in way I haven't been moved in a while. I think I will be buying a few boxes of girl scout cookies too.
Thank you so much! As a former Girl Scout and a bi-sexual, gender-neutral/fluid person, I salute and hug you. I think I can do both at the same time...you're wonderful. Thank you for your honest, eloquence and bravery.

@mi5anthrope Show me some evidence that there is a developmental difference between races that would allow you to identify as a race other than your own. In fact, before you do this, show me some evidence that race is actually a meaningful concept in any way whatsoever.
Gender identity is something people are born with. Identifying as part of a cultural group is learned and social in nature. Maybe you should check if there is a solid foundation under you before throwing up strawmen.

I've always enjoyed playing with both girls and boys as long as we enjoy the same activities. Being a girl scouts was never an issue with me, it's simply fun. I can't say I ever leaned toward other boys aside from those awkward middle school years where girls didn't care about the stuff I did.
If a kid wants to be a girl scout than be it. It's a nice group.

@barefootwits There are some FACTS in the Bible that go a little like this: If a man rapes a woman, the way for him to "correct" this is by marrying her, and he can always take on other wives. If you plant two herbs in the same garden, or wear clothes made of two different threads, or touch the skin of a dead pig (IE: football) then you are committing sins, according to the Bible. There are more. I'd be more than happy to quote them all. Please go read the BOOK that you follow.

At best this girl scout is ignorant the difference between identifying as male or female and wanting to be male or female. She interprets the first quote to mean "as long as a boy wants to be a girl, they'll let him join based solely on his wishes and desires." Now... in the past I have wanted to be a girl. I saw a documentary or read something about the bond a woman form with her child and I was envious. I wished I was female. This is a very very different thing than naturally thinking...

Stereotypical guys don't call themselves names like "RainbowJunkie" or talk about their "feelings of solidarity & brotherhood" or "forging emotional bonds" & they don't get eating disorders. I'm not saying you need to fit this stereotype. On the contrary, be yourself! But don't claim to be something you're not. You're obviously very female. To deny that is silly.

Congratulations. Also, I'm not aiming to perpetuate stereotypes. I'm totally fine with being a gay guy. In fact, that's kind of my dream.

As for eating disorders, I think your statistic proves my point. Even if it's a low estimate, 10% is still a small minority. So even though there are exceptions, it is MOSTLY females who get eating disorders. And I am not shaming anyone. I think exceptional is great. I just don't like inaccurate descriptions.

barefootwits 1 month ago
@barefootwits That's demonstrably false. There are a range of biological factors involved with normal sex - not just the obvious mechanical aspect - and the fact YOU exist is the ultimate demonstration of the falsehood of your own argument. Btw, I do think people who live in fantasies exist, so I don't know what your point is. But unlike you, I think a girl thinking she is a boy is as wrong as a girl thinking she is a bottle of water. XX exists, and there is the complement - XY. Real world.
logofreetv 1 month ago
@logofreetv Your analogy with the water bottle is false because she's talking about gender identity, you're still confusing sexuality with actual physical sexual attributes.
If you want to flippantly dismiss a topic that has been extensively researched in academia and is a predominate theme in centuries of culture and art without citing any evidence or doing any research that's your prerogative but you should really keep your opinion to yourself in that case.
SOLOcan 1 month ago
@SOLOcan Sorry but YOU are confusing sexuality with something that is behavioural, not a criteria for identity. I don't care what so-called credentials exist, if someone cannot argue within reality (ie. male or female) their research is worthless. WORTHLESS. There is nothing flippant about adhering to reality. I'm not the one dismissing the topic, my friend, it is actually you. As for citing evidence - try 7,000,000,000+ to zero. That's not "opinion", that's just fact.
logofreetv 1 month ago
@logofreetv I don't get what your saying by stating the world population? Sex has never been just about reproduction and and argument from that perspective gets less relevant as the world population gets higher.
I also don't see how you can dismiss "credentials" (what does that even mean? I assume you mean experts on this field right) and then claim your sticking to reality. This isn't exactly a new subject, the entire field of psychology began with an investigation on sexuality.
SOLOcan 1 month ago
@SOLOcan Sexual behaviour can be studied, of course, but I object to someone shoving their unnatural desires in my face and forcing me to accept them as if those desires are innate and immutable, when enough people have changed their sexual behaviour to make that suggestion absurd. Sex is of course not only about reproduction, but it is nonsensical to deny it completely which is what you are attempting to do. Experts are not 'reality', but reproduction is. 7 billion plus is the evidence.
logofreetv 1 month ago
@logofreetv To be natural simply means to occur within the boundaries of nature. When a scientist dispels a law by coming across its exception, he is stating that there is more than one way for the universe to be exhibited. If a species is capable of harboring variance, this variance becomes a part of what this species may possess in order to be recognized as this species. Everything that is capable of occuring, everything that is physically possible, is natural.
raiinbowjunkiie 1 month ago
@logofreetv Ok, so this has come down to what you are saying: "I reject you shoving your ideas in my face." Good. So do we, so why don't you just stop commenting, because you've made it clear that you're arguing for the sake of disagreeing, rather than having an actual point. Show me an actual statistic of people who change their sexual orientation or gender identity and I will still not be interested in what you have to say, because one doesn't exist.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@logofreetv Those "ex-gay" ministries where people are sent to be "cured"... yeah, I'm sure you need to go do some research on those and see what actually happens to people there, and when you can give me a reputable, actual source (NOT FROM THOSE MINISTRIES) stating that anyone has left there "cured," maybe you'll gain my attention, but I doubt it, because no sources like that exist. Experts are experts for a reason and you're commenting on YouTube with ignorance. Hilarious!
barefootwits 1 month ago
@barefootwits Well obviously if you accept the fantasy politically correct idea that sexual 'orientation' is immutable, you'll deny everything until the cows come home. I've no doubt you'll deny that the sky is blue on a sunny day and say it is green. But people are born male and female and even if sexual activity does not result in children, I can detail for you several reasons why male/female vaginal sex is the only type healthy for human beings.
logofreetv 1 month ago
@barefootwits Furthermore, are you expecting me to have someone who does not believe that someone can change their sexual habits to then simultaneously admit that you can? You set up your 'criteria' so that it is logically impossible to satisfy it. I'm not playing such an idiotic game. The simple fact is that ONE person changing their lifestyle is enough evidence and there is a great deal more than that - literally thousands. Why do you deny that these people exist?
logofreetv 1 month ago
@logofreetv As stated in comments before, gender identity is a psychological thing that is not set in stone, so yes, I would deny that there are set genders according to a person's genitalia. The colour of the sky, on the other hand, isn't even blue. The LIGHT that enters into the receptors of our eyes makes the sky appear blue. Go back and study some science before you attempt to argue with it. Please, detail away why heterosexual sex is the only "safe" kind and I'll fetch popcorn.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@barefootwits Well, let me answer that by pointing out that this is one of the things this girl gets wrong in her video. A geneticist could determine that she is a girl from virtually ANY part of her body - they would literally only need a drop of blood or a tiny sample of tissue. Genitalia is only the most obvious way of determining sex, but as adults you could for example tell most women apart from men in a room with no light 10ft away and simply getting them to speak! XX or XY. Go learn.
logofreetv 1 month ago
@logofreetv There is a term called androgyny, and it means this: Being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior. A geneticist wouldn't be able to determine the gender of a person by looking at them, hearing them speak, or even looking at their genitalia, because GENDER IDENTITY is psychological, and geneticists would KNOW this because they are professionals and actually pay attention to what their top medical associations state as fact.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@logofreetv Again, XX or XY has nothing to do with what makes up your gender, which is more than proven by the fact that transgender people successfully transition by the use of hormone therapy that does nothing to affect their chromosomes, but their bodies production of either testosterone or estrogen, which determine either masculinity or femininity. Go research, really.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@barefootwits "XX or XY has nothing to do with what makes up your gender" That sentence alone is enough to conclude that it is pointless to argue with you because you have ZERO regard for truth and live in a weird fantasy world.

@barefootwits Are you serious? Let me introduce you to this tool called Google with which you can search on terms like "Left homosexual lifestyle". Don't blame me for your ignorance or illogical criteria. I could just as easily deny any pro-homosexual organisations claims as being unreliable. (And I would be more likely to be right than you.) There are plenty of testimonies that exist for people that have walked away from the lifestyle of denying their bodies and stayed away from the delusion.
logofreetv 1 month ago
@logofreetv I could search "Michele Obama porn" on Google and probably find tons of sites and pictures of it. That doesn't mean that any of them are real. There really are no pro-homosexual organizations, because homosexual people understand that you are BORN with your sexual orientation and that it isn't something that develops or can be influenced by outside forces, just like gender identity can't be. There are definitely organizations for people in the LGBT community...
barefootwits 1 month ago
@logofreetv ... and those organizations are there to bring support to those people, not to "turn them gay." Again, show me actual testimonies from people who have walked away from their sexual orientations or gender identities. Actual facts and resources that your brain hasn't provided for you. Try looking up some actual testimonies of people who have been through "ex-gay ministries" and find out the horrible things that they are forced to experience there.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@logofreetv You can start by looking into BBC's "The Making of Me with John Barrowman" and proceed to watching films such as "For the Bible Tells Me So." Those would be actual sources from ACTUAL people, claiming that they were put through terrible things in ex-gay ministries and were more convinced of their identities and orientations than ever before, although probably even more frightened to be themselves BECAUSE of the intolerance they dealt with.
barefootwits 1 month ago

@logofreetv Sorry, sexuality is more than just "physical reality". You say you understand it better than me but you keep ignoring the accepted definition in favor of your made up one. Gender identity is different from saying the sky is green because it IS behaviour and not a physical attribute.

@logofreetv The fact that I exist only shows that my parents decided to have sex together and have a child, and I'm more than sure that my parents have had sex and NOT had children from it, thus my point. Sex =/= Reproduction. You can believe that trans* people and those who support them live in fantasy, but you can't ignore that they are real. The proof is right here, and you're very simply just ignoring it.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@logofreetv A girl doesn't "think" she is a boy. A transgender person is born a boy or a girl, but their body doesn't reflect this, so their genders are mistaken due to societal standards that are harmful. XX and XY have nothing to do with your gender, they have to do with your reproductive organs, which, as stated, don't depict your gender. Also, your reproductive organs can fail just as much as any other organ in your body, and you would still be whatever gender you are.
barefootwits 1 month ago
@barefootwits People have realise there's a difference between Sex and gender identity as most of the specifics of gender roles are arbitrary and are not linked to their genitals hence there's purpose for the distinction.
Its funny you tell people to use google to search "left homosexuality lifestyle" (Who would google that? Gay socialists looking for a good time?) when you could just google even simpler terms like gender or sexuality so you can understand what your talking about.

Having known transgendered people of both sexes I can honestly say that there is no from them, as much as the people who cast blame on them for being who they are. Gender is an IDENTITY, sex is and outward characteristic.And yes they do not always match, but that does not mean that they should just deal with the sex that they were given. Tran-people go through so much trouble trying to figure out who they are which is incredbly hard as well as living as the choice to live as who you feel you are

I think the saddest thing is that BSA is nothing like the GSA. I'm a MAAB Transgirl, wasn't presenting or even thinking I was Trans when I was part of BSA and I still didn't like it at all. BSA has sexist leanings, discriminatory against non-christians and even MORE discriminatory against non-theists. It's Racist towards Natives via cultural appropriation, and it's gotten so far from the root purposes that it barely teaches anything.

IF I WERE BORN INTO A GIRLS BODY AND I FELT I WAS REALLY A BOY ID ACCEPT WHO AND WHAT I WAS AND NOT TRY TO CHANGE THAT BY DRESSING LIKE A BOY OR TAPING MY TITS DOWN BECAUSE THATS SOCIALLY AWKWARD AND LYING TO YOUR OWN BODY. ID BRUSH MY HAIR AND WEAR CLOTHING THAT SUITS ME BUT STILL BE STRONG TO WHO I AM AND MY BELIEFS AT THE SAME TIME AS NOT LOOKING LIKE AN ODD PERSON OUT PEOPLE DONT LIKE THAT.. LOOK AT YOURSEL YOU ARE A GIRL, YOU CANT CHANGE THAT. DONT TRY TO

LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE BODY OF A GIRL AND INSTEAD OF PRETENDING TO BE SOMETHING YOU ARENT OR DONT HAVE (LIKE THE BODY OF A GUY) DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND DRESS LIKE A BOY. IF YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE A GIRL IN THE MIRROR THEN PUT ON SOME GIRL CLOTHES DONT GO AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN TRY TO GROW SOME BALLS BECAUSE YOU WONT EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WERE BORN WITH BALLS THE TRUTH IS YOU WERENT. OTHERWISE YOU JUST LOOK LIKE A WEIRDO TO ME AND IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE

The girl scouts decision to allow this little girl in is absolutely heartwarming. This girl, who made this video to boycott the girlscouts, needs to grow up.
I'm going to buy a shit ton of girlscout cookies next time I can.

My last year in Girl Scouts was well over ten years ago by now, but after seeing that "girl's" boycott video and your response to it, I almost feel like putting on my vest again despite it totally not fitting me anymore. That girls video was so lacking in passion and so cold that it made me sick to watch it. While yours... man, you show EXACTLY how someone should be when making a point: passionate. She makes me embarrassed to say "I was once a girl scout," You make want some cookies too!

The Girl Scout that wants people to boycott is absolutely right;The people criticizing this girl are immoral morons. The problems with this country are it’s become overrun with idiots and perverts.you talk about tolerance when, what you really want is for everyone to give up their values so you freaks can inject yours.we’re sick of you people.Call us what you want and we’re going call you out for exactly what you are.Its sad you and your kids are messed up but that’s your problem.deal with it

Gays take a seat! 7 is way too young to make a decision like that. Children's minds don't even develop fully until they are 18. What information and environment is this child being raised in? I think all of you need to evaluate what you believe. This kid is 7. Get him some help and away from the parents. If this kid can figure out his sexuality at such a young age then why are peds in jail? If he can make this decision then shouldn't he be able to make a decision about sex? Think fags?

@JusticeForPhoebe For one, SEX has NOTHING to do with GENDER. The only thing your genitals have to do with your gender is the hormones that they produce medically. To a child, your body is a second thought. It doesnt matter/you dont notice, REALLY, it until puberty. UNLESS you are transgendered. As an FTM, I KNEW that I wanted to be treated just like boys. I knew that I wasnt like other girls. I just didnt have a word for it. It's not that I fit the label, the label fit ME.

@JusticeForPhoebe And furthermore, children know more about themselves than children let on. Children know that boys and girls are different physically, but that didnt really matter much. They only mimicked what adults would let them do in front of them. I might have played with barbies (i liked their cloths, im a textile major now), but I LOVED climbling trees, rockclimbing, ropeswinging, and getting dirty. My parents actually FORCED me to act like a girl in front of them.

@JusticeForPhoebe Your SEXUALITY is generally discovered around puberty. But your GENDER is discovered when you are PRE-pubescent and a child. SEX (as in fuck) and SEXUAL ACTS have NOTHING to do with ANY child, whether transgendered or not. Pedophilia is NEVER ok, regardless of a child's gender identity. Sex is only okay between two consenting, legal adults. UNTIL that time, if a girl wants to dress in pants or a boy in a dress who gives a fuck? Let children discover themselves

I am really proud of you for your persistent courage through everything you've been through, and I hope this not only reaches out to people like that twisted girl scout, but also to young lgbtqia people and helps them remember to always be strong and to be who you are in spite of the obstacles. don't ever forget how much of a difference you can, and have, made just by being true to yourself.

I am very proud to say that after viewing this video, I have faith in our generation of young trans/gay kids. We are the ones who can put us one step closer to national acceptance and equality.

you seem very well informed. question: you say you've been transgendered your whole life but in earlier videos you look like a girl. by transgender do mean you just behaved male but still kept your female appearance or were inwardly male and weren't ready to share it yet?

This is probably one of the best response videos that I've seen for that boycott girl scout cookies. I adore your passion, and the fact that you spoke up about your own personal experiences is very inspirational. I think the best part about your video is that you used various facts to truly support your claim. It makes me smile to know that so many people are speaking out about this whole ordeal. *hugs* i believe you'd make a great public speaker for the transgender community

Gender identity disorder (GID) is the formal diagnosis used by psychologists and physicians to describe persons who experience significant gender dysphoria (discontent with their biological sex and/or the gender they were assigned at birth) It is a mental condition. Not a "Physical Brain Alteration" Like the so called Y.T. experts proclaim. Let them be excepted. But I refuse to call something by a name it is not to make all you sensitive metros feel better.

I am a male with three sisters. My mother was a Girl Scout leader for 10 years. I went everywhere with the troop until I was about 10. Wence I joined the Boy Scouts. I slept in a seperate room/tent or with my mom. No one ever objected to me being along. We had great times camping and making stuff. I grew up a normal hetro male now married for 18 years. What's the problem?
