Watched it right away and it exceeded my expectations. I honestly didn’t know if Matt could really be that pressing in interviews and he really delivered. I was impressed. (One critique though. I have a degree in African studies and it was very clear he was visiting with the Maasai in Kenya and every time he just said “African tribe” I cringed. 😬)
Hearing Scott Newgent speak of what they went through broke my heart. I wanted to strangle those doctors who admitted to abusing children. The fact that one worked for planned parenthood and was encouraging children to transition really shows how little these people think of the sacredness of human life and existence.
Truthfully, I’m scared for the future generations. It breaks my heart to see kids exposed to drag and being told to change their pronouns. As someone who saw sexual content quite young (on my own, not from an adult) I can’t imagine the consequences of having adults throw this in the face of children.
You’re right about how they treat womanhood as an act. I think that’s what disgusts me the most.
Having said that it’s hard to stand up for what is right sometimes. I live in a VERY far left city in New England and I feel like I’m one of the only sane people sometimes. Abby, I’m thankful to have found your blog/content because it gives me encouragement to speak the truth.
When I was in university I felt a little embarrassed, because I am such a feminine woman (I got literally told that I look like a romantic vision). I suppressed the desire to wear pastel colors, frills etc and I tried to showcase the edgy parts of my personality more. The lowest point was, when a male friend visited me and said that he felt uncomfortable in my apartment, because it looked like the room of a woman. I still don't know what he meant, but I stopped caring. Being feminine is what I like, I don't have the patience for being cool.
I had watched it the day it came out and thought it was very interesting and also concerning. I do think that the answer is quite clear and simple of a woman being “a biological female.” I thought it was interesting when Matt was interviewing a doctor and talking about reality and imagination. When he had the comparison of Santa Claus. We need to teach children the truth and have them live in reality!
I also thought it was interesting how some of the people that Matt was interviewing got offended so easily. Calling him “rude” with how he was asking questions. People are so easy to be offended!! It’s like walking on egg shells. When he was simply asking straight forward questions that were not condescending.
I have so much to say about this I have said very little! In 2007 I was at an academic symposium giving a presentation about the Psychology of Women undergraduate course ( which tooting my own horn was AWEEESSSSOMMMMMMEEEE) I designed for my Master's project. Many intelligent questions were asked and then all of the sudden a rogue professor asked me " What is a woman?" I was just bewildered. Why was that even a question?!?!? I am not even sure I answered him or just moved on to the next question. It was one of the strangest things that had happened to me in life at that time. I never, ever imagined this would be even a question?!?!? Why is it a question? It does not matter how much I read I still do not understand!!!! I still want to watch the video, I just really have not had a chance to.
So first, I agree 99% with the XY = male, XX = female argument. Because it's mostly true. There are chromosomal diseases (triple X, Klinefelter's, androgen insensitivity syndrome, etc.) that muddle the chromosomal argument, but if we're talking about the general population, then yes XY = male, XX = female (for humans).
I think the real issue here is that people aren't actually arguing about gender and how to define it. That's just what's easiest to latch onto. What they're really saying is that they want to belong to a group. And that feeling of not belonging is what causes a lot of suffering, anger, fighting, etc. Just because someone WANTS to belong under the "woman" category, doesn't mean that that person does or is accepted, right? And in a world where people already can't deal with rejection and are kind of entitled, well, you see where I'm going with all this.
I actually think it is sad that people no longer think religion is important. With religion, and with faith and belief, being children of God is what gives a person that sense of belonging. They no longer need to rely on physical traits and things that can be dissected and nit-picked.

Every tranmy I met sounds more manly than me. And I consider myself a man

Just my 2 cents.
