The issue of mental health in our society is something that is not understood in the least.
Just like the word we use, crazy.
You're crazy.
He's acting crazy.
He's crazy.
What are you, nuts?
You're crazy.
These people are crazy.
What is mental illness?
When does it become a problem?
For virtually my entire life, since...
I was a psych major in criminal law, insanity defenses, not guilty by reason of insanity, you name it.
You name it.
The human mind is what fascinates me.
Remember, neurology, psychiatry.
Neurology, hardware.
Psychiatry, software.
Operating systems.
That's the thing.
What is and is not Mental illness.
What is and is not a fad?
What is and is not a group of people collectively saying we're going to believe this?
That was a time years ago where there were people who were involved in this My Little Pony thing.
I don't know what that was about.
I have no idea.
But I'm telling you, there were more people involved in My Little Pony than you could ever imagine.
It blew my mind.
Is that mental illness?
No.
It's a kind of a choreographed, performative, what have you.
But then we get into things where all of a sudden people are saying, you can appreciate and enjoy this notion called transgenderism.
And there have always been...
Transgender, since the beginning of time.
The number of them, we don't know.
The actual cases, we don't know.
The actual, legitimate, real numbers, verifiable, we don't know.
What does that mean, transgender?
Transgender in your head, preoperative, versus transvestism, transvestitism, whatever that is.
Cross-dressing, then we got into variations of non-binary.
And as the momentum started, as the discussion started, as everything started to take shape and blow up, it took on an aspect of its own.
Remember what I've told you since day one.
The most important experiment ever was what we saw regarding tattooing.
Overnight!
Rational people, scarred, marred, disfigured their dermal real estate for reasons I will never, ever understand.
But they did it!
And there are people today who will do anything.
Do you know the number of people who all of a sudden actually, and I'm going to tell you this right now, who are actually saying, who work in government officials, that they are stressed out over the fact that they have to turn in their five-point thing.
It turned out to be an online meme.
So sit back.
Today, the truth about transgenderism, science...
Sit back, my friends.
Make sure you are signed up and ready to go.
Make sure you are ready to go and that you are subscribed to Lionel Nation.

Don't wait until it's too late.
Go to preparewithlionel.com, preparewithlionel.com, and lock in your emergency food supply before the real panic begins.
Alright, my friends, let me explain to you a couple of things which is important and critical.
First, recent events in the U.S. Congress, as you know, have once again brought attention to the ongoing political battle over what we call transgender rights with Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware and Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina at the center.
Of the controversy.
During a recent White House, excuse me, a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearings, tensions flared, as you saw, when Representative Keith Self of Texas misgendered McBride, and we have all of this with our sound working today, as Mr. McBride.
Later on, she responded to him with him as madam, but nobody caught that.
Now, the incident led to an immediate reaction from Democratic colleagues, who frankly had nothing to say, nothing on their agenda, nothing important, but they were very upset because McBride had been addressed incorrectly.
And rather than correcting himself, self ended the session abruptly, fueling outrage from those who saw it.
As an intentional provocation.
In response, Congressperson McBride stated that certain Republicans appear to be so obsessed with her gender and her gender identity that she seems to live rent-free in their minds and that they are crazy.
They are weird.
They The latest incident follows months of escalating clashes between Nancy Mace, who made McBride a frequent target in her rhetoric.
Mace previously, as you know, introduced a resolution to restrict transgender individuals from using restrooms that align with their gender identity within the Capitol.
And this was, of course, a move.
Widely seen as directed at McBride.
Gee, I wonder why.
In statements leading up to the resolution, Mace repeatedly, repeatedly, get this, misgendered McBride and insisted that she, he would not allow whatever McBride to use women's restrooms in the building.
And her comments, of course, received...
Sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers, including AOC, who of course accused Mace of using the issue to stir up division and enmity rather than focusing on real policy concerns.
Real policy concerns that they're worried about.
So Mace fired back saying she enjoyed living rent-free in Ocasio-Cortez's mind and back and forth.
Now, the ongoing confrontations are nowhere soon to be over.
The confrontations between McBride and Mace and other Republican lawmakers illustrate the broader cultural and political fight over transgender rights That exist in a population faction so tiny, so absolutely minuscule, nobody can even hear them.
This never, ever, ever appears or affects our life.
We don't have anybody in our family.
We don't see this in real life.
It doesn't exist anywhere.
It doesn't exist.
It is a manufactured, deliberate...
Psychologically centered focal point to cause and inspire dissent and waste our times.
And I say to me, listen to me.
Embrace it.
Embrace it.
Yes.
You want this argument?
You got it.
You want to talk about it?
You got it.
For Congressperson McBride, these incidents highlight, of course, the obstacles she says faced by transgender individuals in leadership positions, while for Mace and her allies, the debate over gender identity remains a key battleground in their efforts to define social and political norms in America.
And, of course, you must understand, recent events in the Congress have, of course, brought attention to this ongoing political battle over transgender rights, which, let me say this again, does not exist anywhere!
Has this in any way affected anything?
If I ask you, have you been affected by crime, inflation, illegals?
Yes!
Yes!
If all of a sudden, if we never brought up transgenders, would you even know anything about them?
No.
Would we have seen so many of them?
No.
Have we inspired these performative transgenders?
Yes!
If tomorrow you, as a joke, said, there's a new trend.
We've seen this with people eating Tide Pods and eating cinnamon and Subway Surfing.
Tell people what to do, and they will do it.
The battle over transgender rights with Representative McBride, and I will call her Sarah or Hershey, doesn't bother me in the least.
I have been through this my whole life.
I don't care.
I'm not going to ever lose my groundwork, my positioning, because I won't refer to you.
Look, we've been through this through black names.
Negro, colored, Afro-American, African-American people of color!
We've been through even the name of undertakers and gravediggers and morticians and funeral directors and funeral...
and thanaticians from the Greek thanatos.
That will be the name.
I've been through this before.
We love to change it.
I don't care.
Whatever you want to call it.
Doesn't matter.
I will never ever...
I'm not going to cheapen.
I'm going to give you whatever you want.
Argue the point, but say, you want me to call you Larry?
I don't care.
I don't care.
Miss?
Miz?
Remember Miz?
Remember when some of the feminists didn't like women?
W-O-M-E-N?
They like W-O-M-Y-N?
Fine!
I don't care.
Doesn't matter to me.
I don't care.
Doesn't matter.
Whatever you want.
If that's what you want, because I'm going to go to the art house, I'm not going to give you a reason to argue with me.
So Sarah McBride and Nancy Mays are, of course, at the center of this controversy.
And it's fantastic, because believe it or not, as simple as you may think this is, I think it is most important in making people understand that there is something to this.
And during, of course, you know, the recent House Foreign Affairs Committee, there were tensions which were going, as you know, between...
Keith Self of Texas who misgendered.
Remember this?
Now, let me explain this to you.
And this is the most important part.
Let us get an idea of what we are talking about.
And the question is, do you believe, do you honestly, truly, actually believe that these cases are legitimate?
First, let's start off with one of the issues of who is this Sarah McBride and why is she important and what's the big deal?
Here was one instance which I found interesting.
This was, let me see.
Yes.
Here she is in a meeting.
This is what we were talking about.
Oops.
This is the meeting that we were discussing.
Let me move this over here.
And listen very carefully to how this was.
And this was, was this petulant?
Absolutely.
Mr. Self did this.
Yes.
This was another example to throw red meat.
Anyway, it went something.
Like this.
I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Thank you.
Mr. McBride.
One more time.
Get this.
Get what he did.
Okay.
I now recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Mr. McBride.
Now you've done it.
You've misgendered.
Oh, not good.
Not good.
No, my God.
Not good in the least.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Okay, now, let us see what happens.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Wait a minute.
She came right back.
Nobody brought that up.
Is that okay?
I guess it's okay.
I'm not sure if that's okay.
Was it a joke?
Was it a report?
A riposte?
R-I-P-O-S-T-E.
What do you think?
What do you think?
Ranking Member Keating, also wonderful.
Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please?
Yes, it's a...
We have set the standard on the floor of the House.
Yes.
And I'm simply...
What is that standard, Mr. Chairman?
He should have said, well, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
What should I do?
What's the problem?
What seems to be the problem?
He just assumed he knew what it was, thus verifying the hint and the suggestion that it was deliberate and mean-spirited and blah, blah, blah.
Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America?
Please.
I will.
A representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Uh-oh!
Oh, twice!
Chairman, you are out of order.
Mr. Chairman?
Mr. Chairman, have you no decency?
Have you no decency?
I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent.
We will continue this.
You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.
This hearing is adjourned.
Wow.
Now, this is silly, of course, but let's go back.
I just found this interesting, and nobody seems to have picked up on it.
I recognize the representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride.
Mr. Now, seriously, would you have done this?
No.
No.
I wouldn't have done this.
You wouldn't have done this.
This is ridiculous.
It makes you look petty.
It's cute.
It's fun.
Great for us!
Great for us to talk about.
We're not going to go either.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
We got this woman wearing Carmen Miranda hats.
She's supposedly this.
We got another one over here who's...
Whatever.
This one's wearing a wig.
The whole world is full of falsities.
So if you want to be a man, woman, that's okay.
I'm not going to give you the opportunity to argue against me because I didn't give you this.
Irrelevant courtesy of calling you that.
Okay?
I'm just going to tell you.
Okay?
Alright?
I'm just going to tell you.
But this is the part I love the most.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Now, as you know, in the world of what we're doing, this is great.
And the reason why it's great is it's petty.
It's petulant.
You don't have to know.
Anything about it.
You don't have to know anything about the issues.
It's about crazy people and they're this and they're nuts.
Okay, fine.
I wouldn't have done that.
I wouldn't have done this.
I don't understand why they did it.
I don't get it.
But that's okay.
It doesn't matter.
That's me.
But before we move on, let's also remind you of this And I'm going to say something to you, and I'm going to be honest with you, okay?
Whereas my friend always says, I'm going to be as honest as I possibly can be.
I love that expression.
I'm going to be as honest as I possibly can be.
In fact, we have, who is it?
Karen Peterson says, not true.
It's that constant five o 'clock shadow all day that triggers Mace.
There you go.
But also, seriously, Karen.
Would you really, of all the things to be worried about, do you...
Does this really bother you?
Does this really bother you?
That's okay.
That's okay.
This one's walking around.
This one's got fake boobs.
This one's got a fake wig.
This one's bleaching her skin.
This guy's wearing lifts.
This one's really gay but isn't letting you know.
This one's closet.
This one's snooping.
This one's wife.
This one's an alky.
This one's a drug addict.
Come on.
This is Congress.
Is there anybody here who really would say I wouldn't lose the argument and say I'll call you whatever you want.
Or you could say Madam, you could even emphasize it, if that's what you want to do.
And now I introduce Madam Sarah McBride.
You want to be a deke?
Go ahead.
Save it for the good stuff.
But let me explain to you something.
And this is the part that is the truth.
And this is the part that's the truth.
Do you know what's the most problematic?
Her voice.
I'm going to say her.
Her voice.
Listen to this.
Listen.
For the love of God, listen and tell me this doesn't annoy the shite out of you.
I will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection.
Would you ever have a product?
Sold!
Using that voice.
Now, as you know, many people, like Brad Rung, many people, Brad Rung was very, very, who, by the way, always interrupts, not interrupts, but brings us all kinds of wonderful things like, in 1973, future U.S. Senator John McCain was released from North Vietnamese captivity after being held as a prisoner for more than five years.
Thank you, Brad.
Even Brad knows.
Would you have this voice?
As I was saying, my stentorian pipes, my Robert Goulet baritone.
Somebody told me I sounded like Joe Pesci.
My favorite is Curly Howard on Benzedrine, which I think is the best one.
And interestingly enough, my voice, Has been the greatest asset in the world of radio.
Because people would say, I know that guy.
I know that.
People would say for example, you've got to hear this guy Lionel.
Who is he?
You'll know.
I've always loved it.
Fine.
It's the way I am.
But there were some things where they would say, I don't really want you.
I don't think I would be like a booth announcer.
And I recognize this.
Can you imagine somebody...
If you had this on the radio...
I appear to live rent-free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.
And she loves it.
Loves it.
Good morning, Big Dick.
Appreciate it, my friend.
She loves it.
This is the only reason she's there.
I'm a trans woman.
And that's it.
And if you don't like it, that's exactly...
That is it.
Totally.
I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower the costs for American families.
The lower the cost for families.
And you can say, well, tell me, you mean like you did during the Biden administration when it was straight to the center?
But that's okay.
Now she's interested.
She had this worked up, but that's okay.
But we're not done yet.
We're not done.
We're not done.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We're not done.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, figuring out how to make government actually work better, rather than making it work worse, in order to prove that government can't work.
That's not right.
That's not right.
I think Doge is trying to make government work.
They are obsessed with culture war issues.
No.
And you see these women behind?
You see these women behind?
I promise you.
I promise you.
If you gave them a few drinks and said, listen, do you really consider this a woman?
Hell no.
Do you know?
And I'm going to say something.
I don't want to be mean.
Do you know, ladies, how mean women are to each other who are women?
How do you think women are to women who are men acting as women?
Alright?
That's all I'm going to tell you.
Okay?
The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues.
She thinks this is a culture war issue.
It's weird and it is bizarre.
Women, we are weird and bizarre.
Listen to this.
I'm going to throw myself in this, okay?
It is weird and it is bizarre.
Weird.
And bizarre.
And the American people deserve serious legislators?
Serious legislators, serious people, and serious discussions about a serious issue such as transgenderism.
Serious elected officials?
Serious elected officials who take their jobs seriously, who don't live in fantasy world or la-la, seriously, because you don't need any more of this weird stuff.
Who are focused on bringing people together.
Bringing people together.
Look at these two in the back.
I'm wondering, what the hell are we doing here?
To deliver real results for the American people.
Not to play games and not to engage in schoolyard taunts.
Schoolyard taunts.
Oh, yes.
Oh, they have so lost this, it's not even funny.
They have absolutely...
Now, let me explain it to you.
You...
You have got to understand a couple of things here.
You have an obsession with things that are weird.
You just don't understand that this is just an alternative means of living.
You don't understand this.
I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean.
But you've got this obsession with these people.
Let me give you an example.
Why is this such...
A roadblock.
Absolutely.
100%.
What is your problem?
Why is it, why have we spent an hour discussing this?
Especially, you say you care about the students, but half of you are not sure what gender it is.
Exactly.
What is your obsession?
Especially transgender.
I know.
No, the lawyer said transsexual earlier.
That's not the correct term.
It's transgender.
It's transgender and it's not transsexual.
What is your problem?
You people, you've got a problem.
I'm a transgender woman.
My pronouns are she, her.
This is she, her, and you've got a problem with the pronouns.
And my pronoun is thou.
That's me.
Which is a clicking noise.
You've got a big problem with these people.
And I will only accept those pronouns.
She will only accept.
So don't you even think.
Don't you even think for a minute of trying to slip in some inappropriate pronoun.
Oh, no siree.
I will not be addressed any other way.
She will not be addressed.
And by the way, love that fetching outfit.
And in the workspace, I'm protected by that.
She is protected.
So get it through your head, okay?
Our students should be too.
Especially when they're not over 18 and don't have a voice.
When they're over 18, you're right about that.
Now I'm glad you brought up this idea about students.
Students.
You know what McBride said about students?
Now this is going to be really tough to listen to, okay?
Really tough.
But here she is.
Here she is.
Speaking to kids.
And this is when I say, that's it.
All bets are off.
Whatever you did before, no problem.
No problem.
Kids?
Uh-uh.
Nope.
Now listen carefully.
This is tough to hear.
But watch.
She went with her family to the doctor, and the doctor said that she's a girl.
Now look at these little kids, and there's one little boy in the lower left corner who kind of looks around like, what the is this?
Looking at you for help and guidance.
Is this okay, adult?
And everyone should see her and treat her like a girl.
Now watch.
Lower left.
Hang on.
What is this?
What the hell is this?
He's looking around like, has anybody seen this?
What's going on?
Kids!
Jazz and friends.
Journey.
And the fact that Jazz knew she was a girl to her parents and her friends accepting her as the girl that she is, that journey is called being transgender.
That journey, you hear kids?
It's called being transgender.
And like Jazz said, that makes her a little different from some of the other kids.
Look at these kids' hands like, what about me?
What is going on here?
This is called menticide.
This is brainwashing.
And...
Now, this is where I say...
Oh, no!
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
Everything was fine.
You want to argue in Congress?
Go ahead.
You want to have bathrooms?
Go ahead.
Kids?
Uh-uh.
I don't even want to have kids talk about divorce.
I don't want to have kids talk about things that maybe bother them.
I'm not interested in any of that.
You understand what I'm saying?
I don't want kids to hear things they don't understand.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
I don't want kids to have to say, what?
What?
What?
I'll never forget.
It was a case, a little kid was watching, true story, was watching some romantic...
It was just nothing.
It wasn't even sexual.
But it was like a kiss or two people they were embracing and the woman was, ah, you know.
So the little boy said, does sex hurt?
All of a sudden, out of nowhere.
What?
Huh?
And of course, you know, men and people thinking they're funny said, only the next day when you win or something.
They were thinking of something huge today.
But they said, But you always should say, well, why do you ask?
Not, no, sex is not her because of the schemes.
No, no, no.
You ask, well, why do you ask?
And the reason why the kid asked was because she's making those faces like she's in pain.
The child did not understand ecstasy and didn't understand that.
They don't understand what their favorite color is.
That's the difference.
Whatever you want to do is, I don't care.
This is an artificial, it's nuts.
The fact you want to talk about it?
Go ahead.
But not with kids.
Listen to this one.
This is the one.
I don't know where this came from, but this is where I say, oh, no, no, no.
Identify as trans and non-binary.
I don't know what this is saying.
This is kind of a garbled non-binary.
I'm not sure.
I'm Jack.
My pronouns are they, them.
They, them.
Okay.
And I identify as trans and non-binary.
Trans and non-binary.
Speak clearly, please.
Here are three things you can do to support trans children in your school.
To support trans children.
First of all, I don't know if there are trans children.
I don't even know what that means, but I'll play along.
Number one, be a visible trans ally.
Be a visible trans ally.
I don't even know what that means.
Trans ally?
You mean advocated?
Proponent?
Advocate?
What do you mean an ally?
Trans ally?
There are lots of ways to do this.
By the way, you notice the particle board behind them?
What is this?
What is this set?
It's this particle board.
From having trans-inclusive flags in your classroom.
Trans-inclusive flags that you've got to point to and say, there's a trans-inclusive flag.
They don't even want you to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
But I've got to have...
By the way, that's flag.
Don't mispronounce that.
So having trans-inclusive storybooks on your...
Your bookshelves.
Trans-inclusive story.
Okay.
Number two.
Stop unnecessarily gendering things in your school.
Don't gender things!
No!
Gender...
No!
No!
Good point there, Jack.
This ranges from easy changes, like not grouping children into boys and girls.
Don't do that!
Don't do that, Jack.
And by the way, if Jack helped...
You awful whores.
Would you help?
Anyway.
To not having gendered uniforms.
No gendered uniforms.
Consider how excluded trans and especially non-binary children and staff may feel about gendered spaces and policies.
How do you even get into this?
Who's, who, how do you walk in?
I don't know.
I'm non-binary.
I don't like this.
I don't like this.
The whole desk thing.
The men, boys, I don't like.
Wear the flags.
I don't feel inclusive here.
Don't feel inclusive.
And number three, teach children about pronouns.
Pronouns!
They don't even know what a pronoun is to begin with, but we're going to start off by telling them they.
A singular item being considered a plural.
I'm all for pluralization, but not this.
They are how we use them and why they're important.
The norm?
Now let me explain something to you.
And listen like you've never listened before.
President Trump, whoever is your political ally, your political strategist, this Is the message that Americans will understand.
This versus sanity.
You can talk all day long about, hey, did you see a lot of fires?
Hey, did you see Trump Plaza?
There was a Palestinian.
You know, they're having peace talks in Turkey.
Got to make sure we do something to work out our fractionalized world geopolitically.
You know, inflation is...
How about teaching kids?
What?
What?
I would...
You think I'm kidding.
I would say very, very, very, very carefully.
Ladies and gentlemen, you can have America the way...
You think it should be, or this.
Why is this such a roadblock?
Now you can say to yourself, wait a minute.
Isn't that unfair?
Uh-huh.
Remember Willie Horton?
That was terrible.
Only because it was effective.
Only because it connected to what people were actually feeling.
It made people say, wait a minute.
Now, we can talk about this all day long.
We can talk about this all day long.
Now, the question you have and other people have is, what does the science say specifically?
What does the science say about this?
Well, I've got a whole bunch of things for you about the science and medicine and what psychiatry says, and you're going to be very surprised.
But first, this.
Listen to me.
Are you drowning in debt?
You're not alone.
New reports show the average person is buried under $8,674 in credit card debt, with total consumer debt soaring to a staggering $104,215, including mortgages, auto loans, student loans, and credit cards.
It's a financial crisis, and without a real solution, many will keep spiraling deeper.
That's why I want to introduce you to a powerful secret weapon that has helped so many regain control.
They specialize in consolidating all your debts into one manageable monthly payment and even negotiate a settlement so that you can pay less than you actually.
Think about this.
They've already settled over $275 million in debt.
Think about that.
Helping people break free in an average of just 28 months.
I've personally recommended their services to friends and clients who needed a way out, and now I'm bringing it straight to you, my loyal Lionel Nation family.

It's time to take back control of your finances.
Act now.
Get out of debt and start living the life you deserve.
In law, there's a notion, there's a thing called opening the door.
And there's nothing worse than you could ever hear, if you're doing a trial, than have someone say to you, I'm sorry, but you opened the door.
Oh no.
Oh no.
That means that I took something which I normally would not be able to explain.
And by virtue of my stupidity, I have opened the door.
And now people are talking about it.
And now, I didn't want them to bring up the fact that he had a prior conviction, but because I brought up prior conviction, I now opened the door.
And now I have got to deal with people and subject matters that I do not want.
Big Dick, I'm going to thank you, my friend.
Big Dick also says, what do you call it when two cults war?
Make America self-autonomous, self-governing again.
I don't know if it's ever going to be self-autonomous, but I think you're on to something there.
Thank you for that.
Now let's talk about this.
Mental illness.
I do not believe that these individuals are mentally ill.
I believe this is called performative.
I don't think they have any...
It's like somebody who decides, I'm going to wear my hair on a mohawk.
It's not mental illness.
They know where they are.
They don't hear voices.
They're not.
But is what they're doing legitimate?
Absolutely not.
So transgenderism, is this a normal variation or mental illness?
This is what people are asking.
Now the science says it's not what the left wants you to think.
And this is very interesting.
All you got to do is spend a little time.
For years, the radical left has pushed a narrative, and especially more now, for reasons I don't understand, that transgenderism, or identifying as a gender opposite to one's biological sex, is just another beautiful alternative strand in the tapestry and the mosaic of human diversity and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
They screamed bigot.
Anyone who dares question this dogma, this truth, insisting that it's a natural thing, and a variation is being left-handed, having blue eyes, right?
But let's cut through the noise and look at the cold, hard facts.
Science, real science, not the woke, filtered version of it, because don't forget, trust the science.
Remember that on all these front lines?
Trust the science.
Paints a far different picture.
Far from being a harmless variation, transgenderism is tied in some people's mind to, in some cases, mental illness, psychological distress, and a rejection of biological reality.
Could that be?
The data backed this up, and it's time we stopped pretending otherwise.
And this is a very, very interesting thing here.
The mental health crisis at the core of this is something that's interesting.
Let's start with the elephant in the room, so to speak.
The staggering rates, Of mental health issues among these individuals.
Now, could it be because the society that they live in foments, exacerbates, exaggerates this?
That normal people, if you had to go through this, of course you'd have mental illness.
Of course you'd have psychological problems.
Of course, because of society's intransigence.
You know, the left loves to chalk this up to societal stigma, transphobia.
But the numbers tell a different story.
There was a 2016 study from UCLA's Williams Institute and they found that 41% of transgender adults in the U.S. have attempted some form of self-harm compared to just 4.6% of the general population.
Now that's not a typo.
41%.
Now you could say, well that's exactly because of The problem, and I think it's a good argument.
You could say, well, of course you're going to see this.
You see a lot of people who have, people who suffer from, not suffer, people who share different variations themselves have higher incidence of this because of the problems they go through.
Not that they were like this supposedly first and then would have shown this type of behavior later on.
You can argue this chicken or the egg all day long.
41% though.
Now, if this were any other demographic, if you say that 41% of New York Yankees fans or 41% of people who use the word literally every other word, you would say, there's something to this.
We'd be sounding the alarm about a public health crisis.
Not celebrating some kind of diversity or not saying, well, of course.
Of course this is normal.
They're actually making it worse by allowing it.
If you dig deeper, and the evidence piles up, a 2021 study published in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, in JAMA Psychiatry, analyzed over 7,000 transgender individuals and found that 60% had, according to this, a diagnosable psychiatric disorder, most commonly depression, anxiety.
Personality disorders.
Now again, you could say, well of course!
What do you expect?
And that point is well taken.
The etiology of it, the teleology, the source of this different story.
Now, this is important.
Before any gender transition interventions, you have to ask this stuff.
Now compare that to the general population.
Where lifetime prevalence of mental illness hovers around 20-25% Per the National Institute of Mental Health.
So the correlation is undeniable, and it's Leslie.
Transgender identity and mental illness go hand in hand.
Again, causal, correlation, you decide.
Yet the woke elite want us to believe that this is just a coincidence, or that it's causal.
Then there's the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.
of mental disorders, the DSM-5.
This is, whether you like this or not, this is what they use.
This is the gold standard, and I think a lot of argument can be made against it, but for psychiatric disorders.
Until 2013, identifying as transgender was classified as gender identity disorder, which was a mental illness.
This was according to that.
Up till then, The American Psychiatric Association rebranded it as gender dysphoria to kind of soften the stigma.
But the core issue remains a persistent distress stemming from a mismatch, a disconnect between one's biological sex and perceived gender.
Now remember something.
Isn't it interesting how an identifiable mental illness can be perceived as being Acceptable then, but not now.
There was never a time when depression was, you could call it melancholia and all these other things.
Depression is a very serious thing.
It was never like, you know what, we've thought about this and depression really isn't that bad.
No, it doesn't change.
You know, hemorrhaging, pneumothorax really isn't a problem anymore.
No, it is!
This is distress.
That's the key word.
This isn't a normal variation in a condition defined by suffering, and no amount of rainbow flags can paper over that.
Biology doesn't bend to feelings.
Their favorite talking point is that gender is a spectrum.
It's untethered from biology and reality.
They'll trot out...
Fringe studies about brain scans or hormone levels to claim transgenderism is innate.
But let's get real here.
Biology isn't a suggestion.
It's a fact.
Every human cell screams male or female down to XX or XY chromosomes.
A 2019 study in Nature Communications confirmed that sex-specific Gene expression patterns are hardwired from birth, in essence dictating everything from skeletal structure to reproductive organs.
I mean, you can't feel your way out of that.
And the brain argument?
Very interesting.
Some people would say flimsy at best.
A 2016 review in the New Atlantis by Johns Hopkins researchers, Dr. Lawrence Mayer, And Dr. Paul McHugh shredded, destroyed the idea that transgender individuals have, quote, female brains in male bodies, or vice versa.
After analyzing decades of neuroimaging studies and the like, they concluded that there is no consistent evidence of sex atypical brain structures in transgender people.
What did they find?
High rates of co-occurring mental disorders, like depression and schizophrenia.
That could explain, might explain, maybe the distress driving gender confusion.
This is not my idea, theirs.
In other words, it's not biology creating transgenderism, it's psychology.
And don't forget the hormones.
The left claims that...
Atypical prenatal hormone exposure might prove a transgenderism.
It's very interesting that it's natural.
A 2020 study in endocrine reviews found no conclusive link between fetal testosterone or estrogen levels and later gender identity issues.
So the science is clear.
Biological sex is binary and it attempts to blur That line, or rather attempts, are rooted in ideology and wish and politics, but not evidence.
And then there's the transition trap.
Does it even work?
If transgenderism were truly a natural variation, you'd expect transitioning, for example, hormones or surgery, the whole nine yards, to fix the problem, right?
Wrong.
The data on transition outcomes is a wake-up call.
The left never wants you to hear.
In fact, look at the number of people who claim to be transgender who have never had the transition surgery.
Who've never had it.
I mean, it might be some plastic surgery, if you will.
A landmark 2011 Swedish study published in PLOS 1 tracked 324 transgender individuals.
Post-transition for over 30 years.
And the result?
They were 19 times more likely to succumb to, let's say, self-harm than the general population, even after surgery.
And their rates of psychiatric hospitalization and some forms of violent crime also skyrocketed compared to controls.
So the question is, if transitioning aligned them, We're their true selves.
Why are they still drowning in despair from this study?
A 2019 study in the American Journal of Psychiatry initially claimed that transition reduced mental health issues until it was corrected in 2020 after researchers admitted their data was overstated.
So the revised results?
No significant long-term improvement.
Meanwhile, the 2022 report from UK's...
Here we go.
Tavistock Clinic?
Oh, you know that name.
Once a mecca for youth gender transitions revealed that 34% of kids referred for treatment had autism spectrum disorder.
Another red flag, they said.
Another red flag that was tying transgenderism to neurodevelopment issues.
Not normalcy.
And then there's this detransitioning that we're hearing about.
This is what they never talk about.
A 2021 study in Archives of Sexual Behavior found that up to 30% of those who start transitioning eventually stop or regret it after citing unresolved mental health issues as the real driver.
Now, if this were a natural state of being, why are so many walking away?
And then there's this social contagion angle.
Here's where it gets even more murky.
Transgenderism isn't just a personal struggle.
It's a cultural epidemic.
There was a 2018 study by Dr. Lisa Littman in PLOS, PLOS, PLOS 1. And it introduced the concept of rapid onset gender dysphoria, ROGD, rapid onset gender dysphoria, where teens, mostly girls, Suddenly identify as trans after heavy exposure to social media and peer groups.
No prior history of gender issues.
Just a plunge into TikTok echo chambers and activist propaganda.
So, Littman's research showed that 62.5% of these kids had pre-existing mental health diagnoses like anxiety or depression before their trans identity emerged.
Is this a coincidence?
It's hardly.
Hardly many suggest.
It's a classic case of social contagion, like anorexia or whatever.
So the bottom line is simply this, and we have to ask ourselves, what are we really doing here?
What are we doing?
We have to ask ourselves, is this, and you can go on, the studies are, I'm not going to go through this forever.
I couldn't believe this.
I couldn't believe.
There has to be something here.
There has to be a balance.
First and foremost, there can't be bigotry of people in this country.
I'm sorry.
Big Dickie says he's born a born thespian natural actor.
Thank you.
George at the Lake says, here in North Cal, our Christian hospital has removed all portraits of Christ healing.
All single bathrooms have been unisex.
And posters of services posted all around.
Karen Peterson says, if we keep blurring everything, our society is over.
Well, but you've got to understand this one aspect, which I appreciate.
It's the notion of how much of this is peer-oriented?
How much of it is focused?
How much of this is TikTok?
Especially when, how do I say this?
Transitioning causes dysphoria.
Again, I understand we're throwing words around.
The bottom line is simply this.
If you want to talk about this, if you want to talk about this, great!
You have to talk about everything.
These people...
Have no problem...
I say these people, the left, the radical left, whoever it is.
And I submit to you that there is a de minimis number of people in the radical left who actually go along with this.
I absolutely, positively believe that.
Absolutely.
I do not believe that this is a niche consideration.
But the question that I have for you is simply this.
Everything is fine unless you talk about children.
Whatever you want to do.
If Sarah McBride wants to be...
Fine.
You want to be called ma 'am?
Fine.
Whatever you want.
It doesn't matter to me.
You're an adult.
You can transition.
You can do anything you want.
This is America.
Go ahead.
That's not what we're talking about here.
There seems to be this recruitment part of this.
We want to spread this.
And the bottom line, I don't care what anybody tells you, the bottom line is simply this.
This isn't right when it comes to kids.
And this is something that you have to realize.
And it's not just a matter of sitting back and saying, oh, that's crazy.
I don't think people are crazy.
I think there is something, there is this weird concept, this notion, this very interesting notion of how it can be almost kind of like crowdsourced.
You know what I mean?
This crowdsourcing, this social, this notion of ROGD, this routinized TikTok world of rapid onset gender dysphoria.
Let me tell you another example.
The number of people, and I didn't know this, but we had a friend of ours who...
I guess you'd say lesbian, though that word for some reason has been lost.
We knew someone whose daughter, I think, went to college and lo and behold became fluid.
I don't know if they say fluid anymore.
I'm not even sure.
Fluid found the woman for intimacy, whatever it is, and lo and behold came out as fluid.
Okay.
Our friend, who is a lesbian, said, oh, that's college.
Everybody does that.
You watch what happens.
And I don't know whatever the story was.
I don't know if there was any kind of resolution of this, but the bottom line is simply this.
And this is critical.
When you are in a world that is throwing All kinds of things at you.
Especially in a world now where you, on your phone, on your device, are susceptible and able to see things nobody would have ever seen in prior generations.
Pornography, pictures, ideas, people, music.
You are blasted.
Women would go to college for the first time, hang around women.
They were from small towns or places where all of a sudden you're into this liberal arts stuff and you're in classes and you're talking about Susan Sontag.
And whoa, even that could maybe open areas of experimentation or open...
Fine.
Fine.
What's happening now is when you have a kid who is all of a sudden looking at somebody who has teeth filed down to a cat, whatever this particular thing is, whatever it is, you've got to ask yourself the question.
Think about what this will do.
It's just the old drinking from a fire hose.
I hate to explain it.
But all of a sudden you are just...
So with that in mind, and with this...
Performative, rapid onset, gender, all of this stuff.
People watching this, kids and their parents watching, Mommy, who's that?
Well, that's her.
What is it?
Well, she was born.
Do people, are people...
I never heard any of this when I was growing up.
Never.
Later on, I heard about Renee Richards.
The tennis star, Dr. Rene Richards, Jorgensen of World War II.
They even played a little bit with Klinger, but Klinger wasn't legit.
We never heard of this.
It was theoretical.
We heard more about unicorns than this.
What do you do when you have kids?
What do you do when you have kids who are listening to this?
I wouldn't let somebody talk to kids about divorce.
With 50% of divorce, I guarantee you the chances of kids coming into contact at an early age with divorce is a lot greater than coming into somebody who's non-binary or whatever it is.
But I wouldn't even do that because then they're going to get scared.
Because they're going to say, Mommy and Daddy, they're going to leave?
Because kids don't understand.
They worry.
Remember the movie Home Alone.
Remember this?
Home Alone.
We thought it was a great movie, right?
It's kind of funny.
Until kids...
I'll never forget this.
Kid sitting in a movie theater turned to his parents and said, they are coming home, right?
Because to a kid, abandonment is one of the worst things ever.
How about when you were a kid and you saw Bambi or Dumbo or...
Freaked you out.
I saw Old Yeller.
I do not understand how they took out Old Yeller because he was sick.
And I asked my father, why don't they take him to the vet?
And they said, I don't understand this.
I don't get this.
I don't understand this.
I don't understand how this happens.
We're doing this to kids.
There's a recruitment scheme.
And when you have this woman, I'll be damned.
I wouldn't talk to kids about jail.
Maybe other than the police are here to help you.
I wouldn't sit.
Can you imagine sitting in a room full of kids and you're telling them?
Oh no, this is normal.
This is normal.
And my boy, maybe I'm a boy.
I told you this story and I'm going to tell you again.
This is important.
There was a teacher one time who said there was a student who had diabetes type 1 and this child had to use the restroom.
More than usual.
So they told the child, listen, if ever you have to go, don't raise your hand.
Just get up and go, and that sort of thing.
And I'll explain to the parents, or the students.
And the teacher, I forget the grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, who knows?
But the teacher said, now listen, little Marmaduke over here has a condition called diabetes.
And sometimes he has to go to the restroom.
And when he does, I've given him instructions that he can just go and come back.
You know, kids are, Mr. Johnson, Marvin Dukes, you know, they rat each other up.
So, the teacher very carefully said, and I am going to, you know, warn you.
So, don't worry about it.
And the teacher said, I gave one of the best descriptions in my class about diabetes and everything.
Okay, fine.
The next day.
The principal calls this teacher and says, what the hell did you do?
He says, what do you mean?
All my parents are calling me.
And they're telling me that you told them their kids have diabetes.
And he said, what?
I didn't say that.
And he says, don't you understand?
They're kids.
And I've never forgotten that.
They don't understand.
They worry.
They perseverate.
And sometimes they'll look at you.
And their mind is going a mile a minute.
And it looks like they're just playing something.
But their heads are spinning.
They don't have judgment centers.
They have no perspective.
So right now, we're talking about this.
And I didn't even think kids would hear this in the first place.
So when you see this, this is a movement on the part of some of the radical left.
Not just to introduce open-minded or whatever, but to teach people or to make kids think that somehow, to change the inner core of what we believe in.
Personally speaking, I'm inclusive.
I will respect everybody when it comes to adults, within reason.
If you're not doing anything, if you want to wear a dress, if you don't, if you want to shave your head, or not, or whatever, I don't care.
Be yourself.
You don't need my approval.
My approval doesn't matter.
You are a human being, God's children, American citizen, that's it.
Okay?
That's it.
Kids, different story.
And what we are doing is, the Republican Party is being handed the script from now on.
And from now on, they are telling you, This is where they are putting their attention.
They didn't learn from 2024.
They didn't understand this.
They don't get it.
They will never understand how they fit in and don't fit in and how they are perceived in the world.
It's that simple.
And what I'm telling you, and this is important, what I'm telling you is that if we As a political force behind President Trump and Magen, Dogen, whatever the hell this is, do not emphasize this.
Do not remind everyone that they have not learned anything and force.
Ask the Democratic Party, do you accept this?
Is this your position?
Say it now and form a wedge so that they have to break into this category or this category.
Either you're with McGuire or you're not.
Because you have groups, you have the Bernie Sanders group, you got the AOC group, you got the Squad, you got the Nancy Pelosi, you got the Rennie Story, you got all these old folk, but you've got a very fractionalized Democratic Party that can be broken and divided because they don't understand why they lost the election.
And I want to make sure they understand exactly why they lost the election.
Big Dicky Daniels says, what's in place on the books right now to go after these rat bastards that are doing this to children?
Well, guess what?
Nothing is.
Because you have school boards who are approving this.
School boards.
Rather than worrying about whatever.
So understand what I am saying.
Adults can do whatever they want.
I don't care.
I truly mean that.
Kids are a different story.
And the second thing I want to tell you as Republicans, if you don't use this as an example of the difference between our collective ideologies, you're not paying attention.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
To Big Dicky Daniels, thank you.
Karen Peterson, George at the Lake.
Brad Rung, thank you.
Don't forget to follow Mrs. L at Lin's Warriors, which is very, very important.
Thank you very much.
Very, very, very critical.
Follow her stuff, which is the most important.
She will tell you.
Be watching the events she went to last night.
I'm not going to steal her.
The school she attends, what she is seeing.
She is out in the jungle, so to speak.
She is on the battlefield.
She is out.
Among the troops.
Not sitting back pretending to be doing something.
She is doing something.
So that's Lynn's Warriors.
