00:04 When I first heard about the idea of being trans,

00:07 it didn't strike me as a good idea.

00:10 But when I thought the thought instead,

00:13 what if I'd just been born a girl,

00:15 that thought kind of devastated me.

00:19 I wasn't this effeminate gay guy.

00:22 I was more of this sort of a romantic type

00:25 that had interest in poetry and music.

00:29 There's this whole aspect of shame and just rejection

00:36 around femininity or any sort of me touching femininity.

00:42 The messaging that these boys have

00:44 heard throughout their childhoods about toxic masculinity

00:47 has instilled a sense of shame, a shame about being male.

00:51 I need to talk to somebody.

00:55 The first time she told me, I'm definitely transgender,

00:57 and only a transgender person would like that kind of porn

01:00 and that kind of lifestyle, and that I

01:02 need to start transitioning.

01:05 I came across this intimate forum.

01:08 It sort of affirmed my idea that I was born in the wrong body.

01:13 Gender critical means I'm critical of gender ideology.

01:19 Gender ideology does not believe there's biological sex.

01:24 It believes that felt gender has replaced biological sex.

01:28 It believes that there are 100 genders.

01:31 And I think it's nonsense.

01:32 There's biological sex.

01:34 You're male, you're female, and a very tiny proportion

01:37 of the people are intersex.

01:38 A good therapist, I think, would have said, well,

01:41 maybe you're transgender, who knows.

01:43 But let's get sober for a while, and then

01:46 let's revisit this topic.

01:48 That's not what happened.
