Trans College Student Demands to Be Called He
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
You're doing it as a way of just still trying to be disrespectful because you're refusing to call me he.
That's the view.
You want me to actively call you a boy and call you he.
That's crazy because that's what I just said.
I'm not going to do it.
It's disrespectful for you to continue to call me she after I told you that's not like I'm not comfortable with that at all.
I will call you Cyrus.
The video you're about to watch about transgenderism has way too many spicy moments for us to upload the content here on social media.
To get the full uncensored interaction, go over to LibertyHangout.tv where we are running our biggest sale ever in the history of LibertyHangout.tv.
Roll the tape.
So let's read this.
Yeah, so Trump's 24 plan on transgender Americans includes outlawing gender-affirming care for minors.
For minors.
Let's be important here.
That's for minors, children.
Do you think that minors should be given hormone replacement therapy or surgeries?
So, okay, so I want to just, I'm just going to blanket statement a lot of this here, but I do not think banning any kind of medical procedure in any context is okay.
And I say this specifically because, first of all, minors can't receive gender-affirming surgery.
Top surgery, most doctors will not do top surgery below the age of 16.
Okay, let's ban it.
Well, 16?
Do you think a 16-year-old should be able to receive getting their breast cut off?
I did.
Well, 16-year-olds can get breast reductions if they're female.
That's not what I'm asking.
What I'm asking.
What I'm asking.
So gender-affirming care is saying you are perfect as who you were born as, and we're going to affirm you in the perfection that you were born as.
You were born as a female.
There is nothing wrong with your body.
This is who you are, and this is who you are made to be.
We're going to affirm that and let you know that you are special, that you matter, and that you care.
I personally, I just don't think it's the general public's business what someone else decides to do with your body.
If you are confused and you want to get yourself a surgery, it's really not anybody's business but your own to do so.
It's everyone's business if someone is suffering, if a group of people is suffering, and we see injustices being performed upon them.
If it's in the terms of social media indoctrinating kids into thinking that they were born into the wrong body, making women more susceptible to these types of surgeries because they are inherently just bombarded with body image issues and the lack of fathers in the home is another one of that.
We don't promote these things.
We have a society right now who promotes very, very dangerous ideologies for how the family should run, which creates a lot of trauma for children, who then, if you ask most people who come up with these What is your idea of a traumatic family?
Abuse.
What do you define?
And then abuse.
Abuse can be a lot of things.
It can be mental abuse, it could be emotional abuse, it could be physical abuse.
I also think simply just an unstable home with no, when two parents are not raising children together in a loving environment, that's also detrimental to a children's upbringing.
We see it with a lot of people who are in the prison system.
If you look at most of them, they come from really broken homes.
And we have a society who says, let's just go out there, have casual sex.
Relationships don't matter.
Focus on your career.
It doesn't matter.
Go ahead and get divorced if there's any little problems going on in your family.
Did not know it was going to rain today.
But yeah, those are just examples.
I think a lot of what we promote for young people to do ends up leading to unstable homes because people don't have really, they don't have grounded beliefs and passions in what they think that a family should be.
I do want to say that.
So you believe that gender-affirming care only applies.
It only exists to affirm the gender that one is defined at birth, right?
How they were born.
You are given a gender at birth based on who you are.
Okay, so.
But that also, so you also believe that minors shouldn't be able to affirm their own birth-assigned genders through surgery.
So like if so, if a woman, for example, I knew a man who under the age of 18 had surgery because he was developing breast tissue.
And that can happen normally, you know, through just being born with messed up hormone levels, diet.
And he had surgery to take out breast tissue.
I forgot the name of the condition.
It's like gyno something.
Yes, yeah, that's.
That's the one.
The tourist over here.
So, I don't think there's anything wrong with somebody receiving that type of surgery.
And I believe it's a similar surgery if a woman wants to get a breast reduction or if...
So what you just described, and it actually has a name for it because it's actually not supposed to be that way.
So he's taking care of something in his body that has gone wrong.
So when it's harmless to have it.
So something that is not normal, because it has a name.
Well, it's not gender-affirming care.
It's fixing something that hasn't gone correctly in his body.
Like he has a hormonal issue.
So there's something dysfunctional going on in his body.
Whether it wouldn't hurt him to keep that, you know, the tissue that's growing.
But choosing to remove that because it's not supposed to be there, that's totally okay.
And I believe that that is surgery to help care for him.
That's the gender of man.
It doesn't change his, it doesn't change what he is.
Gender as a man.
Okay, so as a transgender person, I wear a binder because I can't get the surgery that I want to get.
And for me personally, it's also a comfort thing, but also the binders that I'm wearing do a lot of bad things to my body.
They constrict my ribs, they make it hard to breathe, and other such things.
So I don't understand why you would want someone who's not comfortable with their own chest not to just go and get that surgery done if they want to get it done because to be more gender affirming.
I wouldn't be hurting myself as much if I could just go get that surgery now.
I do understand where you're coming from.
I don't know what I'm going through.
And I think, can you tell me about your childhood?
My childhood?
Whoa.
I am formally back to visiting college campuses.
The first one is USF.

Thank you.
Whoa.
Okay, well, I grew up pretty happy.
I have a loving family.
They're great.
I live with my family, my dad, my stepmom.
Like, it's fantastic.
So your parents are divorced or never together?
No, they were divorced.
They were divorced.
Yeah.
Okay.
Does divorce call it?
Because transgender?
Wait, are you transgender?
No, I am.
I'm sorry.
What I'm saying.
It's not your fault.
No, I'm not apologizing, saying that I'm responsible for any of that.
I'm saying that I'm sorry that your parents didn't stay together and then you were in kind of a, what, a broken home?
Is that what we would say?
I would call that.
My family was quite loving.
When did you decide that you were not a girl?
Probably when I was younger.
Like, it's just feelings and thoughts, like, watching how other kids react to like, like, when they see a boy growing up, or like, they're just boys and all that and such.
Like, it's just a wanting thing.
Like, I want to be that.
I like that.
I like being called.
If I may add a contribution.
So what was...
Hold on, I just want to talk to...
So I'm not pushing you away.
I'm not trying to push you away, but I'm really interested in talking.
So, see, I'm being caring.
I'm affirming right now.
So, where would you say, who is the first person you told this to?
Probably my friends.
Your friends?
Yeah.
Okay.
And they were all supportive.
They're like, oh, yeah, yeah, like, you're totally a boy.
Well, there's always going to be the backlash of like, are you sure?
And it takes a while to figure that out for some people.
For me, I was like, no, I don't want to be a girl.
I want to be a boy.
And that's just how it is.
Do you think that you could do the things boys do, but be a girl at the same time?
So my thing is the fact that everything I do as like a boy is because I'm comfortable as presenting myself as a boy and I want to do it as a boy.
So I can't really speak on that half because I really haven't lived my life as a girl because I don't want to because I don't want to be a girl.
Why don't you want to be a girl?
There's the fear.
There's a lot of things that women face, ideas of like being afraid of being raped, they're looked let down upon in society, even things like the pink tax, like stupid stuff like that.
For me, I'm not saying that being a woman sucks.
Just for me personally, it's not my cup of tea.
Just like how you probably don't want to be a boy.
Like, I don't want to be a girl.
And what did your parents say when you told them this?
My dad was like, you are so cool.
Like fantastic.
Like he was super supportive of me because he wants me to be happy.
And if I'm happy as a boy, then why not live life as a boy?
If I'm not happy as a girl, then if I can be a happy boy, then like, why the heck not?
What is it about being a girl?
Do you think?
I know you said about like, you don't want to be a girl because of the rape and everything.
I'm not saying that.
Obviously, like, it's just me a personal thing.
I just don't want to be a girl.
That's literally it.
Like, I feel like I don't have to, there's, I shouldn't have to explain it much.
But what is it about being a girl that is so off-putting that you're wearing binders?
you wanna get surgery, you wanna take, Are you wanting to take hormone replacement therapy?
Okay.
What is it about being a girl that is so off-putting and just so like?
Well, it's not, yeah.
Like, I just don't want to be a girl.
It's just not.
But why?
But why?
I just think like the thing, the way that he femals are presented or the way that they're replaced, like, hello, oh my god, my bad.
The way that they're viewed to, like, I just not my thing.
Like, I don't want to be viewed as a girl.
I don't want to be viewed as like maybe less or how some people look at women and they're like, they automatically assume they're above.
Like, that's not how I want to be looked at.
I want to be looked at as a man.
And that's just how I'm comfortable as.
Okay, so what is it about a man that you're like, I want to be.
I want to be a man.
So I know like you're like, I don't, Okay, well, let's go to what you want to be.
Instead of focusing on the negatives, be the positives.
Why do you want to be a man?
There's a lot more privilege to being a man.
So it's like a selfish thing.
You're like, I want to be.
Okay, all right.
Same way people want to be rich because they want to have lots of money.
Like, I want to be a man.
I love the honesty.
Yeah, but also like I just am more comfortable as a boy with the way society views its boys, like all that other stuff.
Like if I look at like the way I was treated as a girl versus how I get treated now as like a boy, it's completely different.
Things like simple stuff like when girls say like, oh, I want to work on this, or they're like, well, no, you're a girl.
You can't be doing that.
Or like even like simple stuff is like, oh, like women can't be doctors, even though they technically can.
But like if you look at like children's toys and whatnot, it's like, okay, well, the man's like, oh, they're doing all this cool stuff.
And the girl's like, okay, you're just kind of there in the background.
But also like it's just a comfort thing for me.
Like I just want to be a boy.
Like that's just it.
Okay.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for explaining that.
I think you're perfect the way you are.
I think that you are special the way you are.
And I think there's nothing wrong with your body.
You could think that.
That's the truth.
And all that matters.
The way you are.
I think that.
I will pray for you to.
You don't need to.
I will.
I will pray for you because you were made in God's image.
Okay.
And you were made perfectly with no mistakes.
What's your name?
I'm Riley Riley Owens.
I think.
I appreciate your time.
I would like to ask what your purpose for having this conversation with these people is.
First I was talking about DEI and then it moved into transgenderism and we're talking here with Cyrus right now.
What is your purpose for filming and reporting on it?
I'm not reporting on it.
I'm just making YouTube videos.
It's a lot of fun.
It's how we make money.
Yep, how we make money.
It's a lot of fun.
And with that, you can go to patreon.com/slash Caitlin Bennett to support my work if you want to keep me coming out to college campuses and talking with people like Cyrus here.
And praying and praying for them as well.
So anyway, I appreciate all your guys' time.
I'm going to move on to talk to someone.
I'm sorry that I got interrupted in the middle of my sentence and never got to circle back on what I was talking about.
Yeah, I don't remember what we were talking about, but I appreciate your time anyway.
