We are in a new dawn of gender and sex complexity where those who don't fit into a simple binary are meant to be seen with humanity.

00:11

It wasn't always like this, people. As recently as, let's say, the 1990s, early 2000s, people were making reductive jokes about the subject.

00:23

What can I say? The joke rhymed. This is

00:29

Jon Stewart. And that was Stewart basically giving a groveling apology for his past anti -trans remarks.

00:36

You see, Stewart has since become enlightened regarding the gender binary, and now he is going to educate all of us about the real answer to Matt Walsh's viral question, what is a woman?

00:48

What is a woman? Can you tell me that? Well, you're at the

00:54

Women's March, you must have some idea. Please, if one person could tell me what a woman is. You are not here for women. We ask you to leave.

01:01

What is that? The very notion that there are only two genders is now offensive to Stewart, and he will now proceed to provide irrefutable arguments against that idea.

01:11

Any moment of progressive visibility will be met with a vicious backlash. There are two genders.

01:17

There are two genders and everyone knows it. Ain't but two genders. That last guy sounded like it's an emergency and we're running out of genders.

01:29

Everyone, there ain't but two genders. The point is clear. The human race is defined by a simple binary, a black and white understanding.

01:39

There are men and there are women, and never the twain shall meet.

01:45

So Stewart begins by making it seem like believing there are only two genders is a laughably ridiculous position to hold, except throughout all of history, until about five seconds ago, every single person and every single civilization believed that there are only two genders.

02:01

More fundamentally, there's an argument about what it means to be a man or a woman. Just let that sink in for a moment.

02:09

We went from having an argument about, you know, what were acceptable sexual practices to then going to an argument about who are acceptable marriage partners, and now to an argument about what is a male and what is a female, what is a man and what is a woman.

02:33

Nobody even questioned this idea until the radical LGBTQ movement introduced this idea extremely recently.

02:40

And now they're trying to make us think the idea of infinite genders is the most obvious thing in the entire universe.

02:46

Oh, okay. And there are other neopronouns you said? Well, yeah, because they're customizable.

02:52

Anything can be a pronoun, really. Never the twain shall meet. Trump is an alpha male. Beta gamma cock.

02:59

Pajama boy. Soy boy. Girly man. I was a big tomboy. These purple haired angry freaks.

03:04

Rabid feminist. Cat lady. High rolling bimbos. Pretty girly girl. Turns out there's a lot of non -binary s*** happening between the binaries.

03:13

Really? Is Stuart really arguing that different personality traits within the two genders is evidence that there are more than two genders?

03:22

And this is the argument that Stuart is leading off with. So we have to assume this is one of the strongest arguments he has.

03:30

But these are all just descriptions of personality traits. And most of them are labels used to describe the same sorts of people.

03:38

So how does this at all even slightly call into question the existence of the man -woman binary?

03:47

Nobody ever said, John, that every man is exactly the same as every other man or that every woman is the same as every other woman.

03:54

Squares can also come in many different shapes and colors and rather many different sizes and colors, not shapes.

04:00

That's the point. A square is still a square. So you can color a different color. You can have a big square, a little square.

04:05

There are lots of different ways you can describe squares, depending on how you decorate them. But a square is still square.

04:11

You can do a lot of interesting things with a square. But you can't make it a circle, is the point. That hasn't stopped the traditionalists from deploying their newest weapon in the culture war arsenal, the obvious gotcha question.

04:23

The real basic question, what is a woman? Can you provide a definition for the word woman?

04:30

For all of recorded history, people have known what a woman is. A woman is a deformity that occurred in the ordinary course of nature.

04:38

I'm sorry, that's, that's Aristotle. A woman is a person who has no legal existence once married.

04:45

That's, I'm sorry, that's, that's early American coverture law. A woman is 30 shekels.

04:52

I'm sorry, that's Leviticus. Again, really? This is the best that Stuart can offer?

04:58

All of those definitions of women that Stuart provided from Aristotle, coverture law, and Leviticus, that supposedly prove there was no universally agreed upon definition of woman, still presuppose that a woman is an adult human female.

05:12

They may have had different conceptions concerning the value of women or how women should be treated, but they still had the same understanding of what a woman is.

05:21

No, actually, a woman is an adult female human. Amen. Two sexes, two genders, just two, that's all.

05:27

Aristotle and the author of Leviticus, and everyone else that you might name from ancient history, all agreed on what a woman is fundamentally and physically.

05:37

This is John Oliver, and Oliver is about to make an irrefutable case for why it's good to allow minors to have life -altering transgender surgeries performed on them.

05:46

Let's see what he has to say. There are many on the left who seem at best reluctant to engage on this issue and at worst outright hostile to it, either complaining about pronoun police or arguing that this issue will cost

05:58

Democrats elections. If you go to the middle of the country, people would say, if your conversation during a presidential election is about some guy wearing a dress and whether he, she, or it can go to the locker room with their daughter, that's not a winning formula for most people.

06:18

Wow. It. Michael Bloomberg can all the way off with that, but also, while this fun -sized billionaire is clearly good at a lot of things, like making money and end of list, maybe don't take advice on a winning formula for elections from a man who spent over a billion dollars of his own money to lose a presidential bid in just 14 weeks.

06:37

So, John, are you saying it's a good political strategy to prioritize fighting for giving minors the right to choose life -altering transgender surgeries that they might regret for the rest of their lives?

06:49

This is what I mean. This is how deep my voice is. It's gotten deeper over time and it's settled.

06:57

This is what I mean by hair loss, and it just keeps getting worse. It keeps thinning. It keeps receding backwards, you know, and I'm not exactly sure that's coming back.

07:06

Those are the main things when I talk about being androgenized to a point of no return.

07:12

I really don't see those being fixable. So that's when I talk about, you know, just kind of staying how

07:18

I am, regardless of how I feel. That's why, just because I don't really see me personally being able to come back from what's happened so far.

07:27

If so, I certainly won't stop you from promoting that idea. Let's also remember that it's not actually the left talking about trans rights non -stop.

07:35

It's Republicans who see an advantage in demagoguing this issue, and to ignore them doing that is to allow them to have real calamitous impacts on people's lives.

07:45

A few years ago, Vice profiled a girl named Kai Shapley, and just watch how happy she is talking about her hopes for a future until she remembers something that changes her mood.

07:55

Mama says I might grow up to be the president. Yeah? What would you change about the world if you were president?

08:04

Let trans people be free and go to the bathroom they want to go to.

08:10

Are you able to use the girls' bathroom at school? No. And now they just put security guards up for the bathroom security or whatever.

08:22

Oh, I hate that. That is brutal. It is so dark, it's genuinely hard to watch.

08:29

Well, what's really hard to watch is the adults in this boy's life, failing him in every way and putting him in front of the media and the world to further the

08:38

LGBTQ agenda. This boy has no idea who he is or what he wants, and he is being brainwashed by the adults in his life into thinking he is actually a girl.

08:48

Rapid onset gender dysphoria. But it's worth you knowing that study was based on a survey of parents, not actual trans kids, and it targeted parents from organizations dedicated to opposing trans ideology, which is instantly disqualifying.

09:03

As for the rapid rise in kids identifying as trans, as the writer Julia Serrano has pointed out, when you look at a chart of left -handedness among Americans over the 20th century, you see a massive spike when we stopped forcing kids to write with their right hand and then a plateau.

09:19

That doesn't mean everyone became left -handed, or that there was a rapid onset southpaw dysphoria.

09:25

It means people were free to be who they f***ing were. But John, comparing the rapid rise of children who identify as transgender to the increasing number of people who are left -handed is pretty dishonest.

09:37

Trans identification has risen 20 -fold in the youngest generation. Even that example he gives of left -handedness, which is a red herring if I've ever seen one, that shows, what, a 6 % rise over the course of decades?

09:48

We're talking about 20 -fold in the course of a few years. We went from almost nobody being confused about their gender to huge swaths of young people being confused about their gender.

09:59

That is rapid. It is gender dysphoria. It seems that calling it rapid onset gender dysphoria makes a lot of sense.

10:07

John, what you are leaving out is that whereas left -handedness is a neutral, apolitical issue, transgenderism is an ideological agenda -driven issue, where there is a concerted effort to have as many children as possible identify as LGBTQ and transgender.

10:24

Are you a boy or are you a girl? You don't know who you are?

10:33

Who do you think you are? At the onset of puberty, an adolescent and their family might consider puberty blockers, hormones that delay puberty.

10:41

And importantly, if that treatment is suspended, then puberty will resume, meaning that this is reversible.

10:47

Think of it like a pause button, the thing you can't do easily on the HBO Max app. The next potential medical intervention is usually hormone therapy, which boosts levels of testosterone or estrogen.

10:57

Opponents of gender affirming care make a lot of alarmist claims about hormone therapy, from saying that it's experimental, which it is not, to arguing that it sterilizes people.

11:06

And look, for some, in specific situations, there can be risks to fertility.

11:11

But for others, the effect is anticipated to be reversible if the medication is discontinued.

11:16

But there is definitely an informed decision to be made there. John, first, you compare puberty blockers to the pause button for television.

11:24

Well, John, just how long can a person pause puberty? Are you really saying that a child can pause puberty for five, ten years without any effect?

11:32

What we can say is that the NHS used to claim that puberty blockers are reversible. They had it on their website.

11:38

If you go to the website now, it's not there. They removed that claim from their website, and they now admit that, in fact, they don't really know anything about the long -term effects of these drugs on kids.

11:47

Why don't they know? Well, because we've never put millions of physically healthy kids on this kind of drug regime before.

11:52

So we don't know. There's no way to know for certain what the long -term effects are. Anyone who claims they know is lying.

11:59

These kids are being experimented on. We don't yet have the full results of the experiment. It is ongoing right now.

12:05

Yet common sense would tell us that all drugs have side effects, especially those that intentionally interfere with the natural physical development during childhood.

12:14

You cannot pause the human body like you pause a television, John, which, by the way, it's not that hard to figure out how to pause on HBO Max.

12:21

I'm not even sure what you're talking about. This is not science fiction, okay? Human bodies can't just hang out in a state of suspended animation without consequence.

12:29

That's not how it works. And second, you say that hormone therapy is not experimental, but then you add an unbelievable number of qualifiers that strongly suggest that it actually is very experimental.

12:41

The effect is anticipated to be reversible if the medication is discontinued.

12:46

In other words, yes, it permanently damages a child's body, permanently sterilizes them, but that's okay because sometimes, potentially, maybe, it won't harm them as much if they stop it before the worst side effects set in.

13:00

And third, your sources are just the very organizations that are promoting these kinds of operations on children.

13:05

So they're just as biased as the researchers you accused who are on the other side of the debate. And fourth, the key question is whether underage children are capable of making such life -altering decisions at that age.

13:17

If we don't allow them to drink alcohol or to vote, then why would we allow them to have life -altering surgeries performed on them?

13:24

Can a child under the age of 18 actually consent to any of this? Can a 14 -year -old consent to taking a drug that will likely sterilize him?

13:34

Can a 15 -year -old girl consent to having her breasts removed? Everything we saw from Stuart and Oliver is exactly what the most powerful leaders in this country are arguing.

13:44

And the fact that these kinds of evil arguments are now mainstream arguments points to the fact that our nation is under divine judgment.

13:52

What is happening in our country and largely in our world is a divine judgment. I just want you to mark that in your mind.

13:58

It is a divine judgment. Joe Biden is not in charge of this. God is. And our

14:04

Congress and our Senate and the people who run this nation, whoever is behind the Wizard of Oz pulling the strings, does not have the final sovereign say over this nation or over any nation in the world.

14:16

So we are experiencing the judgment of God on our nation. It's not as if we're waiting for it. It's not as if it's nearby.

14:22

We're in the middle of this judgment. Stuart, Oliver, and everyone else who are trying to destroy the definitions of male and female, which is destroying the lives of countless young people who are being brainwashed into this ideology, need to repent and turn to Christ or face

14:37

God's terrible wrath on the day of judgment. Don't you understand the thunders and the lightnings were warnings thundering from Sinai.

14:46

The day of judgment, when God judged Adam and Eve, don't you realize that those judgments were also acts of mercy?

14:52

He said, you're going to live in a fallen world. And every time you sweat and every time you suffer, it's me crying out to you, fallen, fallen, turn, repent, come and be saved.

15:02

Every time a woman gives birth in pain, it is God calling out, you're fallen, fallen, return to me and be saved.

15:10

Every thunder, every lightning from Sinai was, you cannot keep this law.

15:16
