It's In To Declare

| I was speaking right before the show. | |
| In other words, just a few minutes ago, I had a 20-minute conversation with an LDS, or a Mormon family, that I have great affection for. | |
| They're a great help to PragerU. | |
| And they were telling me that in their area of Utah, It is widespread in the major public school of this city. | |
| I mean, it's a city. | |
| It's not a town. | |
| It's a city in Utah. | |
| It's not Salt Lake City. | |
| It is in to declare yourself a trans. | |
| Are you aware of that? | |
| It's in. | |
| You say, of course. | |
| Well, that means, of course you're aware. | |
| I want you to reflect on that, you who are listening, for a moment. | |
| This is Utah, generally considered a conservative state. | |
| And my only question, and I'd like you to respond. | |
| What do you think parents are thinking in America when they send their kid to a regular school, private or public? | |
| In other words, not a specifically religious school or charter school that they know the values of, or homeschool. | |
| The basic three alternatives. | |
| What are they thinking? | |
| Are they thinking... | |
| This won't affect my child? | |
| And if they are thinking that, why? | |
| I wouldn't. | |
| And I have quite strong values, but it wouldn't matter. | |
| Oh, and early in my career, I had a woman on. | |
| I'll never forget. | |
| I don't remember her name. | |
| She wrote a book and I had her on as a guest. | |
| And her thesis, or maybe I didn't even have her on, maybe I just read from her piece. | |
| Her thesis was that peers are generally, not always, but generally more impactful than parents. | |
| Are you familiar with that thesis? | |
| And it bothered me, but it did not strike me as wrong. | |
| You spend more time with your peers and your peers are your peers. | |
| So my producer is saying they're more impactful in the short term but not the long term. | |
| That's fine. | |
| But it doesn't address my issue. | |
| He would agree. | |
| If they influence you, if you have issues, you know, you may really be in the wrong body. | |
| It may be a short-term thing, but it damages you the long term until you detransition or kill yourself. | |
| I saw data that suicide after transition is as great as before transition. | |
| Generally speaking, mentally healthy children do not wake up one day and say, oh, I'm in the wrong body. | |
| I'm really the other quote-unquote gender. | |
| I always wonder about that anyway. | |
| How do you know what the other gender is like? | |
| You don't have their brain or their body. | |
| How do you know? | |
| It's a wild guess. | |
| Is there any one of you listening who really knows what it is to be the other sex? | |
