Megyn Kelly discusses the problems with the 'affirmation only' model of gender medicine - Real Time with Bill Maher (25 Oct 2024)

[UtopiaPlanitia]

On the recent episode, Megyn was interviewed by Bill and, as one of the two important issues that was informing her vote in the US election, she brought up the issue of children being damaged by 'affirmation only' medical organisations and she made the secondary point that gender identity negatively affects women's rights/spaces. She spoke about this in front of a hostile to indifferent studio audience but, as the interviewer, Bill was not hostile or indifferent on the issue.

I went to find the interview on YouTube to post here because I thought FWR would find it interesting. For some reason the YouTube version of the interview doesn't have the section where she discussed gender affirmation with Bill (who was on her side - he even mentioned the Cass Review).

So, instead of the full interview, I'm posting links to two videos discussing the interview: I've noted the relevant times when 'affirmation only' is discussed:

This video is Megyn herself discussing her time on the Bill Maher show (time 5.49 to 7.45):

The second is Amala Ekpunobi discussing the interview and how much Maher has moved on this issue (time 0.00 to 8.19):

If you have access to Sky TV then Real Time with Bill Maher is available on Catch Up and Megyn is the first guest interviewed.

Agreed. I think anyone who doesn't get 'ranty' about the sterilisation of children without a medical evidence base of risk or benefit , abandoning all normal medical ethics, which we'll definitely look back on as a medical scandal worse than the use of lobotomies, is of dubious character frankly.

Anyone who is a decent human being who's educated themselves on this is ranty! Lots are sticking their heads in the sand because they know the truth is appalling - they're willing to sacrifice children's health for their comfort. She's right to rant!

She thinks he's the best candidate of the two.

It's a vote for a political administration that will promote certain policies. Not a personal recommendation.

Thanks for posting that link Malaga, I would have missed seeing it otherwise.

Kelly has been consistent on her main two reasons for voting for Trump - protection of women and girls is the root of both of those reasons. Hearing the other reasons was interesting too and definitely fits the parameters of her personal convictions and ethics.

Have you been asleep? He has been convicted in a civil court.

George Bush/Tony Blair are not up for election, so there’s little point bringing them up here.
