Thank you, both of you, for this precious episode. If I may ask... would you consider making an exception about how the comments are dealed with on this one, with maybe pre-moderation? Many transphobic comments, it can be quite problematic for our fellow trans folks and KZfaq does not act quick enough when signaled, sadly enough.

Please interview John Gray. He is a former Monk who wrote "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" and many other relationship books. . He often appears on Michelle Marchant Johnson, You Tube channel. I think you two would have alot to talk about seeing that you were both monks.

I love this podcast. Mr. Jay it's really inspiring, perspective changing podcast. My conclusion is that parents in the first place have to give undivided, non judgmental and unconditional acceptance to kids that express themselves differently. This will help them to grow and excell. And this is also applicable to all the children. Home lays the foundation stone for every child to grow and open up to the world they are put in. Love this podcast.😊😊

@kommisar. 6 ай бұрын

Actually, no, parents absolutely should be judgmental since they are the PARENTS and know better than the child (or at least SHOULD know) what is good behavior and what is deviant behavior. This crap about letting kids do whatever they want is totally ridiculous and why so many kids wind up miserable like Ellen Page or turn into criminals.

These kinds of episodes help a lot of trans folks feel less alone and get the courage to take some important steps to becoming more authentic to themselves. But also, they help cis people learn more about trans people, which will hopefully enable them to have more empathy and understanding for this community.

And I get it if anyone is the type that finds it hard to accept people, maybe cause of their beliefs, it's okay too, I understand and I accept you to live your life enjoyably, just don't bash innocent people that wanna live their life's in a way that's different from your beliefs.

So my mom pulled him out. I hope the day will come when it’s accepted and not such a big deal to come out of the closet. I have many loved ones in the LGBTQ+ community, some have no family because they were disowned when they came out. How can a parent/family do that? I don’t get it!! I hope books like Elliot’s will help some young people see themselves in him, and they will have the courage to be their authentic selves. 💕

The problem is you can no longer speak out against this in any way on platforms like KZfaq. I already had a couple of community guidelines strikes(or warnings). Had last one today, where a window popped up and said if I say anything they don't like again, I could have my ability to comment closed or the whole channel terminated. I took a screenshot of it, they couldn't even tell me what message it was about, but I think I know.

@oevers 2 ай бұрын

Of course you can speak out against this, BUT it depends on how you say it. There are even still videos on this platform online, that support your opinion. The reason your comments suddenly disappear is likely because of either your content insults these people, instead of sharing actual arguments for the opinion, or you state that science has proven that that all of this doesn’t exist (which isn’t true, even if you don’t want to hear it). I’m not sharing your opinion, but I would really like to understand yours better. Why are you scared of these people or where do you see the actual problem in the way they want to live? These are the questions you can talk about here.

I was reading through some comments saying that Elliot’s description of what it is to be a man is “not true” or “wrong”…I think we have to remember that not every person’s experience is right or wrong regarding their gender and keeping our minds open to listening to different peoples experiences is so important; and letting that be an open conversation without getting defensive about it is just as crucial.

The fact that people who believe to understand everything is thinking that happiness is the same that being smiling and being positive all the time is just ridiculous. Not only because someone can be serious about a serious matter means that this person isn't happy,and not because someone smiles and is funny means that this one isn't sad. If you look at the last pictures from people who has taken their own lives, they're smiling. The fact that when this person is being asked about the difference before and after his transition,he can mention how the goal it's not the presence of constant joy but the lack of the negative aspect that before was everything you was able to see,is showing already how grounded he is instead of being focusing on getting distracted by enjoyment in denial and avoiding to think about the negative stuff by getting wasted as most of people do... I'm a sociopath with a Catholic background who worked as a bricklayer for over 7 years, I naturally lack empathy and remorse,and even I can see how much time and effort there's behind this person's self improvement, because I had to work on my own for the last decade to not be causing damage outside,to be away from drugs, alcohol, meaningless sex etc. If someone who's literally incapable of taking pity of people,and who doesn't bulsh*t around,is able to recognize that this person has more value than a million of funny friends but you cannot, you're just a piece of sh*t who delusionally lives in denial of everything that doesn't pass through your own mind. Go educate yourself,go learn the minimum amount of manners to address someone as they tell you to address them,go learn how to be a decent person instead of some loud idiot that feels the need to comment only with the intention of hurting someone's feelings...

Sadly it is a possibility that detransition happens in some cases, but gladly only 1℅ or less of people who get gender affirming care end up detransitioning. Based on some articles Ive read I'm pretty sure the maon cause of detransitioning isn't even the regret, it's the backlash from those around them :(

"Just let people live their life’s how they want to as long it doesn’t harm other people. " Sure. If it's adults then it's really a non-issue but once Ellen started talking about how safe it is for kids that's just totally untrue. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Even for adults going on hormones can bring lifelong health consequences but Ellen's not going to talk about that publicly is she.

Some guests (like this one) talk about themselves. The whole thing is just about themselves, how they feel, how they are victims, etc. Then there are guests like Sam Harris (that you had on as well), that talk about ideas, about making the world better,etc. He doesn't talk about himself, his childhood, his personal life,etc. He is concerned with the world. I like those types of interviews better.....

There is just something disturbing about this. Look at the pictures of the 6 pack on him/her. It's like you're messing up something you shouldn't be messing up with. If these people were so uncomfortable with their sex, do you really believe they are experiencing inner bliss now that they're the opposite sex? No. People who identify themselves so much with an identity or a label, never find inner bliss.

Not a name of a decent male was given actually male as we know are human with good and bad behaviors nevertheless the behaviors towards the female gender to mask their brotherhood activities that male don't discuss to help themselves out, has caused the bad of male to be so pronounced that the bad overshadows the good.

So, reading through the LAtimes interview after she came out as trans, she said that she used to not eat to deal with her depression and anxiety. But I can't help but realize how skinny she is here. Her cheekbones stick out more than ever before. She seems to not be eating... ? If that's what she claimed to have done beforehand to cope? ;/ I did a side-by-side comparison and her face is so so much skinnier here. Reminds me of Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry, sucked in cheeks and all.
