Speaker 1
Look how great the greatness and we've had greatness and everybody's had greatness. Plus we've had failures and we've had mess ups, you know, we've done stuff wrong as nations, as peoples. Every people's done stuff wrong. So if you wanna start hating people then hate all people, you can't just pick one group of people that in history did one thing and what slavery in America was like 70 or 80 years total. If you really look at the numbers, when we were done 1776 and when it was over, it was barely a blink of an eye in all of mankind's history. You know, I'm sorry, you're not saying.

I just kind of stuff really bothers me,
Speaker 1
you know? But that's why I quit college. When I started seeing this, this hatred against people, I started seeing the same thing in the trans community about the labels and about hatred and about setting these labels up for failure. And I don't wanna hate myself. And, you know, so I started looking at all of this and I put this entire ideology into the same group as CRT that did purposely separate people for whatever reasons and causing discontent and causing hate by labels, by mental health issues that are exacerbated into surgery, which we don't do for N-A-X-V-A or any other, you know, thing that's bodily issued, you know, eating disorders. I don't see you doing teenagers surgeries for somebody who has an eating disorder, you know? And I can go through this forever. But so that's, I mean, that's a huge explanation of me, but you just have to understand that all of this happened. I would've been silent. I was already out of transgender 100% a while ago and I understood it for me with gender identity disorder was a mental health issue, which I can deal with. You know, I can work on that. But if it's something that you tell me that's permanent, that's something that we're all born like this, we'll do this and there's only one way to fix it. But that's bunk, you know? Cause you're putting a blanket solution on every human being that shows up saying anything about being a tomboy or, hey, I like the word, you know, it's really in soft things. Sometimes it makes me comfortable. Oh, you're transgender. It's like, come on, you know? The whole thing has just been blown out of the water so far that I just, I had to start speaking out. I wanted to be silent. I never wanted to come on these programs. I did that one with Robbie Starbuck, which, you know, great people and they did a good job. And then I went on Tucker Carlson for like four minutes and it was like the only like mainstream I've done. I will not do any mainstream. Every time I come on these kinds of podcasts, cause I looked at a little bit of stuff and I actually looked up the wrong person first. But I looked up and I see if somebody's a good person and if they're pretty good information. And then I say, yeah, go on your show. But as mainstream media, I just keep saying no, not doing it. You know, unless you just give me my ability just to speak and don't interrupt me. And Tucker was kind enough that he did that. If you look at the Tucker Carlson show that I did a week ago, he just lets me talk. And when I finished, he says, wow, good point. And then he goes on and it was next thing. So he was very respectful for that way. They let me speak. And the message that I was trying to give on Tucker was, raw people, we all struggle. The main message is we all struggle. You know, we all have issues and I have my issues and you have your issues and everyone. So why would you want to pile on top of somebody else's issues? Or why would you want to take your issues and shove them on top of somebody else to make their issues even even tougher and mess with their life, you know? And so I'm saying that to all those folks on both sides of the aisle, that's all you're doing. Everybody on the right has problems. Everybody on the left has problems. Why do you keep piling more on top of each other? I don't understand that, you know? People need to start waking up and look at your neighbor and look at the folks living in Canada and Mexico and all around us. We think there were some kind of like great nation that we can do whatever we want. And forget about those guys North, forget about those guys South, they're our neighbors. But we're the same. And then I say, look across the pond at Europe. Look at Russia, Ukraine, everything. We're all neighbors. This is a really small planet. So my whole message is just wake up. Start being nice to each other. Stop piling on. We have enough problems, you know? I mean, I know I've spucked for a long time, but. I just, I live this every day because it's my heart hurts right now to see where our country's gone and to see where the world is going. We need to do something. People need to wake up and chill out, have some compassion and go talk to your neighbor in person. Don't Facebook them. Don't Instagram them and all that tweeting stuff. You know, walk next door and talk to your neighbor. Start speaking face to face or you're never gonna get true answers. You know, we gotta start conversing.
In this episode, I was joined by Chris Beck. A retired Navy SEAL with multiple awards, including a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, he gained significant public attention in 2013 when he came out as a trans woman. At the time, Chris transitioned to “Kristen Beck” until 2022, when he announced his “detransition” and shared that the initial transition had “ruined my life”.
In our conversation, Chris tells his story and shares his experience with gender dysphoria and gender identity politics. We discussed the potential dangers of transition therapy, the politicization of gender identity, and the problems with pushing it as well as ways to navigate gender identity disorder.
