 we're going to try to analyze the phenomena. What is it that makes this issue so attractive to the left? And then what is it about this issue that the white finds so offensive? And my guess is we could probably do a few shows on this because there is a lot to say about this. And this has a lot. This is multi-layered. It's not just one layer. So this will be kind of a first attempt, the first stab at kind of dealing with this question. And then we'll see what we'll probably have to do follow-ups in the future. Let me say right off the bat, right off the bat, I think I've expressed this in the past, but I want to make it clear. Look, there's no question in my mind that transsexuality is a real thing. There are people who don't feel like, don't think they have the kind of the gender that their biology would suggest. And some of that is biological. That is, there are people who have the physical features of one gender, but their chromosomes don't align. I mean, so if X, Y, X, but there are kinds of bizarre, weird things that happen at the genetic level that confuse things. Now most of these things are borderline issues. They're also pretty rare, but they do indeed exist. And the more you read about this issue, the more you realize that, yeah, I mean, there really is something here. This is not, but it's a tiny minority of people. And I feel really sorry for them because they just like somebody who's born with other kind of genetic diseases, they have a genetic disease or a genetic problem. They have maybe hormones that are misaligned with or something in the brain that's misaligned with their genitalia. And that's screwed up. And I don't know that there's a solution for people like that. It's sad, right? But it's a tiny fringe. It's a small group of people. It's not a lot of people. And there might be some people right now who are listening who are trans and might or might not have this biological feature. So it definitely exists. I do not have the stats on how big of a group that is. I read about it, the stats in this book about trans that I read, but I can't remember the stats on. But they but it's out there and it exists. And yeah, Ian says, the book is Kathleen Stokes, material goals, which I read a big part of. And I thought I thought was quite good. I don't agree with everything she says, but it's quite good. In first establishing the fact that there is this phenomena and there is this small percentage of people where this phenomenon is not just psychological, it really is biological. And this group is confused and it's difficult for them. And some of them ultimately choose to have all kinds of reconstructive surgery, which is brutal. And I can't believe it's pleasant, but maybe at the end of the day, it's somehow better for them. I don't know and I don't pretend. But again, tiny fraction. And I think I've told you in the past, I know Deidre McCluskey, who used to be Donald McCluskey. And Deidre will certainly tell you, I think, that she is much happier as a woman that she was as a man as a man before this. And I believe her. I believe her. But that was sad because she lived a long life and had kids and family and everything as a man. And it must have been horrible and then the change must have been horrible. And your kids don't anyway, it's not these are not happy stories. But if they can find relief somehow, if they can improve their life somehow, if they can somehow live a semi-normal life, then so be it. Why deny them that as adults, even if it's almost unthinkable. And it is, it is pretty, it is pretty sad, the whole phenomenon. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show.
