Quite interesting. A man takes to a US college campus to say "There are only two genders. Change my mind" and films people giving him the other side of the argument.

Oh and pronouns have no limits and are up to an individual to impose on everyone else!!

I love how he uses the example of identifying as a bobcat to illustrate the absurdity of the claims

Such uncritical acceptance of gender roles

Also, love the surprise of the black guy when told about the legal ramifications of identifying as trans

I wanted to talk to the non-binary woman about why she rejects womanhood. Because I understand that. I do. Something or someone hurt her

Lastly - the interviewer's demeanour towards the guy was different. Sexism, or simply that his back was up from the get-go
?

I like how the interviewer nails them for their assumption he's male - he's also very informed about the roots of transgender and intersectionality plus the administrative and governance contradictions it throws up - plus the unworkability of it.

It's a shame the women seem to be "God's Police" acting as agents of men to police the environment (have they got permission), his behaviour and words. One questions his right to be there - then another his right to hold the interview as he sees fit and lastly another his words - he's verbally abused and talked over incessantly by Madison.

i.e. misgenders them. Commits literal violence.

Watch how women onlookers intervene to try to rescue the volunteer interviewee and then later to actually verbally abuse and threaten the interviewer.

That's how you see the undue influence at play - the same dynamics are seen when a cult member is pinned down - other cult members get very aggressive in their interventions. The same dynamics when unhealthy family dynamics are exposed - the whistleblower is condemned.

I cannot help noticing how the interrupter from the floor, who rushes in to rescue 'them' when they get stuck, refers to them as her

You couldn't make this stuff up

Not watched all of this, but isn't this guy disputing that there is a difference between biological sex and gender as a social construct? He seems to be saying they are the same- you are feminine because of your biological sex. I disagree- I definitely think there is socially constructed gender. (And the guy comes across as a bit of a prick).

"The law defines an act of violence"

"No it doesn't"

TransplantsArePlants · 23/06/2018 18:06

I wish he didn't interrupt the first non-binary person. At all. Because what "they" are saying trips "them" up enough. Then when "they" are struggling, to rescue them the other women interrupt him. which shows them up. A fascinating watch

Love his Intersex rebuttal

womanformallyknownaswoman · 23/06/2018 17:49

Yes, the first is an embarrassment in his critical thinking - but consistent in that he asserts there's no limit to the number of genders and when the administrative, as well as biological implications this has, are pointed out i.e. that's it's unworkable as well as unbelievable, plus that law then becomes a feeling, has no answer.

The second interviewee is painful - totally brainwashed I make up. And constantly interrupting and talking over whilst never once actually explaining anything rationally.

TransplantsArePlants · 23/06/2018 17:45

"what if I said I was a bobcat. Would you subscribe to that?"

"Yes I would" Grin

TransplantsArePlants · 23/06/2018 17:39

Just starting to watch it. Oh the knots the first guy gets himself tied into - when he apologises for assuming the host has a penis. Bless

Brilliant video from a guy who doesn't believe there are more than 2 genders and who is discussing with people the issues that the current TRA stance causes. And guess what - the aggression comes from TRAs
