They are indeed trying to change our society by influencing the minds of our future. The school children are a captive audience. They are teaching something false.
They have gone off the deep end & must be reined in, then destroyed.
These 'Trans' people that want to advance their crazy ideas about gender are VERY confused people. They need help and acceptance from the Psych-Social professionals for special treatment. What they DO NOT NEED is acceptance of their crazy sexual doctrines about gender from ANY legitimate governmental or medical community members. Nor the media. Yet, that's happening.
Think of their position: They want desperately to be accepted by any and all legitimate community groups/individuals about their obtuse sexual ideas. Yet, they are completely unable to accept who they are as they were born! In fact, many of these sexual basket case INSIST that other MUST accept them.
The Trans Position: "I cannot nor would not accept myself as BORN. However, if I want to mutilate my sex organs and believe I'm a different sex, YOU MUST ACCEPT me without judgement?"
Why are we so ready to embrace a guy who identifies as a gal and consequently use their “preferred pronouns,” but we recoil and shout “racism” is, for example, a white person identifies as “black.” Would it be more socially acceptable if they darkened their skinned and permed their hair? At what point does society accept people who change their race (socially constructed) or ethnicity? Accepting men as women only further diminishes women’s rights and access. Interesting how rare these individuals are in faith-based communities…
One of my favorite podcasts is “Relax with Animal Facts.” Each episode covers a different animal and often goes into the differences between males and females and the importance of the features each is given.
It’s not a political show. It’s just fact-based and fun. Listening to it reminds me that there is God-given sanity and order in the natural world.
And that animals don’t have time for navel gazing to come up with bizarre theories.
Ben, great work, as always. I am sure this person is sincere, but he or she is a kook. I'm a teacher. Sex matters don't belong in the classroom. Basic biology is simple. I teach boys and girls. If one has an issue we discuss it. It's The Left, not the Right Wing as the interviewee shamelessly blames, that is the problem. Leave well enough alone. The OVERWHELMING majority of boys and girls know what they are.
outrageous, immoral, delusional. Sex is assigned on birth based on genitals, it isn't arbitrary. Lets continue messing up an entire generation shall we..
Ben you're kinda cute....so that accounts for my gay id. I kept it out of the classroom during the entirety of my "career" in education.....only once did a kid make a reference to me and "man to man" sex....I think the class was stunned....and this isn't that long ago....another time a girl student ...I know old fashioned gender normative....if I and another teacher were "best friends." I told her we are colleagues....which is what we were. Kids say the darndest things.....Art Linklater ...I go back way back....Ben you're kinda cute.... I guess my post will be censored as inappropriate use of the public forum....well I didn't do that during my "career" so give me credit for that.
Shouldn't you have this "talk" with your professional psychologist? And no, your post is not inappropriate at all. Just a cry for attention and/or help.
"cis-heteronormative belief" was all I needed to see to convince me that the interview was going to be a waste of my time.
The suspension of disbelief that was required to live in the progressive bubble is mercifully unnecessary going forward. That bubble was popped on election day.
I seriously have no idea what this advocate is saying. The interviewer asks some basic questions and we get back a circular argument. And when a question is too difficult, the person does not answer becasue right wing people will do something? This is evicdence of weak arguments.
If one wants to state that your genetics and biology do not define your gender (whatever that means) then start there. We can all agree that your biology does not define WHO you are. But why fight against what is obvious and scientifically accurate. Genes define your 'sex'. Who you are and how you express your 'gender' within that genetic range is who you are. And if you are a feminine genetic male- fine. So what.

Mimi would never advise a teacher to use a biological definition of gender. That would be "disgustingly right-wing".
Thanks to people like Mimi and her enablers, many of whom lack the courage to speak out, I became a "right-winger" and voted for Trump.
No.

Also, I’m really enjoying Ben’s interviews - keep doing what you’re doing, Ben!
If a couple wants a girl but their newborn has a penis, could they just tell the doctor to assign the child as female?
Brilliant

This person is a sincere grifter.
A sincere groomer!
Objectively, Mimi Shelton is a "he" and the article should reflect that.
Why do we let people like this "education activist" near our children and our schools?
We should NEVER allow someone this confused near our children.

Dear misguided, meanspritied Shasta......I use the forum to have a bit of fun.....you use it to be a bitch.....
And the cryin' continues.
No.

Amen!
How much longer are we going to cater to these delusions?
As long as there money to be made. Hoping for some HUGE lawsuit settlements against the perpetuators of this insanity.
There will be lawsuits. Think of the tobacco industry lawsuits - on steroids.
A while. The Left will not go quietly. I'm very glad Ben made this video. We need to see this gobbledygook is still being spewed.
