 Now this has been going on not just at universities and at workplaces, but You see this the attacks on J.K. Rowland's Rowling Rowling Rowling no S. J.K. Rowling the writer of Harry Potter huge huge successful billionaire, but a leftist very much Committed to the left And yet J.K. Rowling has the audacity to actually believe that sex matters Sex not in the act, but sex in that there is a male man and they are women and that trans is not sex That a man who says he's a woman is not a woman He might be a trans woman, but he's not a woman. He's not the same. I don't know. There's a clear biological Claim here Is in my view obviously true and she is objecting to this idea that everybody Trans women and women be treated exactly the same Now for example, I'll give an example. I don't know what J.K. Rowling's views. This is sports well trans woman who's Hormonally and in every other aspect a man Men are stronger than women faster than women competing against women is just wrong in Scotland supposedly in order to Use a woman's bathroom All the man needs to do is I guess declare himself a woman Get some kind of certificate saying that he's declared himself a woman from The authorities and he can now use the women's bathroom and J.K. Rowling is just saying This is a threat. This is dangerous Too many men can use this to assault women and it's completely justified for parents and young women to be afraid of this To be worried about this to reject this idea So you can be declared a woman even if you've had none of the hormone treatments and you haven't had any surgery Just by saying you're a woman. You're declared a woman. I mean talk about Emotion about reason they were victory if emotionalism of a reality facts Now J.K. Rowling is just famous and she's a billionaire and she can take it, but her just indicating And and she says generally she supports Trans rights the rights of individuals the transition if they want to she supports them having Not being discriminated against She takes a very individualist approach to this. She says you can do what you want She says she has friends who are trans and so on but she says let's not be nuts about this Women do men straight trans women do not That's a biological difference just for saying that People are being ridiculed and attacked on social media And I mean accused of being Transphobic or you know, which is the equivalent of being accused of racism J.K. Rowling's has written an essay It's you can find it on her website J.K. Rowling calm It's called J.K. Rowling writes about who reasons for speaking out on sex and gender issues It's worth reading. It's an interesting read. Whatever you think about these issues She explains her reasons she explains why she's involved mainly because she cares about women and women's safety but she also cares about definitions of sex and sexuality and what it means and She was I guess a sexual assault victim. She's afraid for women who can become are going to become victims of sexual assault by men pretending to be women whatever And it's I think it's a really good It's a good essay. It's worth reading I don't agree with everything in it. You're not gonna agree with everything in it But it gives you a perspective on this whole issue and how violent the issue has become It's become like race if you say anything anything Skeptical about children transitioning which I think is a crime. I Think a doctor who transitioned a child should be Prosecuted parents who transition a child should be prosecuted under the law as child abuse J.K. Rowling herself says there were times when she was a teenager She didn't like being a woman. She didn't like being a girl and her father didn't want a girl He wanted a son Which she would have been tempted to transition But then she says that would have been horrific because I'm a woman and I love being a woman I just had a you know when you're a teenager you're confused I know lots of little girls seven eight nine Who would rather be boys? The tomboy's we used to call them tomboy's Now the label does trans and if they say they want to be a boy that parents immediately take them seriously and start Talking about the possibility of transitioning. I mean, it's insanity and if you do the surgery And you change your mind The damage cannot be undone cannot be under Turns out that many of these kids who want to transition or some of them many of them are autistic They just the idea that a kid knows what it means to be male or female has an opinion about it Maybe and again J.K. Rowling's talks about this Some women or men who are gay But afraid of coming out as gay Afraid of the stigma still in the in the world we live in today afraid of it transition as a way of Because there's less of a less of a I guess stigma I mean, that's horrible. I saw the most feminine women. I know Some of the most feminine women I know with tomboy's What you are as a young child What you are as a teenager even does not reflect what you're going to be and what you're going to think and what you're going to want And what you're going to care about Teenagers generally are depressed teenagers generally don't like their lives So they want to change but this is the kind of change you do not want your teenager to have Until they're sure a hundred percent that this is what they want and they understand the full consequences, but now It's easy and it's encouraged and it's supported and if you're against it if you speak up against it if you say anything against it If you discuss it in any way Without embracing it endorsing it Your transphobic which is worse than being racist and you're you're probably a racist too because I think Intersectionality says that if you're one of these evils, you're all of these evils the leftist killing itself J.K. Allens is a leftist. She supports a leftist causes. She's a prominent woman on the left But they're killing them themselves This is why I always said the left ultimately the nutty left ultimately cannot rule It is to disintegrate it It is too violent. It is too out To kill it its own people They need a Dogma that many more people can accept they need a real religion What they have right now is not enough of a religion yet. So Good for J.K. Allens. I'm a big fan of Harry Potter and And you know as a and and she writes well. She's intelligent her reasoning Is good again, you're not gonna agree with everything. I don't agree with everything But it's it's it's worth reading if you're interested in this culture They're just writes people off. So she's been written off by millions and millions of people online They've been book burnings of J.K. Allens books of Harry Potter because she said something That they view as transphobic What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason By the intellect not by feelings wishes women's or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not get want to give in to today's of despair cynicism and impotence and does not Intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show many of you step forward and actually Supported the show for the first time.
