While this video focuses mostly on the UK's trans healthcare system, I can't help but recognize how similar the system is in the Netherlands. I've gotten lucky on many counts - from a GP who was excited to help me get a referral to being in a social position I could safely start the process. One thing that was expected of me during the diagnostics portion was that I would start the social transition during the diagnostic process or else I would not get a referral to the medical team. This was explained to me as "a test to see if I would be able to deal with the stresses of a medical transition not giving the desired results" and "to help the people around me to adjust to my new name and pronouns". Again, I was lucky that my family has been very accepting, and that I am currently a student at a university with a fairly progressive atmosphere. During the last general elections here I looked at what the various parties had to say about trans healthcare. Of all the big parties, including left-wing ones, only one supported the abolition of gender dysphoria as a required diagnosis for medical transition. Other parties generally supported funneling money into training more psychologists to diagnose it.

SHOUT! They told us we were sick, they claimed we were perverted They beat us and jailed us and the drove us from employment They called in God and Ministers to defame and abuse us They said we made bad choices and that we could change They promised that we could become just like them. We said go to hell. We stood and we marched and we made riot when we had to We yelled and we sued and we ran in elections for decades We took to the streets, we went to school and we taught Our pride never failed us and we always knew who we were We always had faith that we could change this weary world We made a difference. Now you tell us all over again how bad and wrong we are You place us last in line with a huge multitude of the marginalized You promise us that our struggle has been for nothing You maintain that our pain and our loss and our lives mean nothing You do all this because you fear us and our truth We will never go away.

Strap an instrument to his penis to figure out if he’s lying. Omg I’m dying here! I am so grateful that you did this episode and are educating us about the horrors of this all especially since I keep hearing more and more about this lately. As always Abigail your amazing love!!!!

"We were just following orders", they'll say when their Nuremberg trials finally come. Thanks Abby and everyone at Philosophy Tube for the amazing video.

Love that you've raised the spectre of conversion 'treatment'. I tried for decades to 'convert' myself out of fear of the consequences of being discovered. I eventually realised my feelings around my gender identity was not a phase and could never be changed. It's laughable that anyone could believe they could succeed wheredo 40 years of self torture and self hate, all inflicted on myself by myself, failed spectacularly to do. I fear, however, there will be many more years ahead of smashed windows out frustration and protest as the cruel anti trans influence in politics grows ever more powerful, here in the UK and around the world. God help us in the years to come. Keep fighting our corner, Abi; you are much loved and your bravery for standing up and speaking out is hugely admired. I live in hope this particular battle is just a phase we're going through before the sense of self determination wins out

Amazing video, thanks so much for making it ♥

Hey! Amazing video as always. I think the double standards between intersex "correction" and trans kids transitioning could have been highlighted even more strongly. And the thought experiment at the end was the chef's kiss! Mwah!

Amazing work

Thank you for making this video. It was hard to watch: I sometimes had to pause the video and pace around the room for a bit before continuing. It has to have been stressful and at times painful to do in depth research into some of this. I know some may see this as one of the minor side points that can easily get lost in the heavier issues, but something that struck me as signficant here is the idea of a disconnect between what people think they are doing and what they actually are doing. While technically, this is true of all human efforts (I sincerely doubt many people, if anyone, specifically sets out to do wrong as they understand it), it gets dangerous when the lack of human clairvoyance intersects with self righteousness. People determined to defend a hopeless and harmful status quo no matter how many facts are piled up telling them they are wrong to defend it. Religious dogma emphasizes "faith" for a reason. In this regard, religious dogma also sometimes turns humans into something lower and lesser than AI. No wonder the new breed of authoritarians are so fascinated by AI. They have always wanted humanity to act just like it.

That runtime! :O I will get round to watching this eventually, but probably not for another week or so. Given that you’ve been doing a play these past few weeks, I don’t know where you found the time to make it!

Cheryl Jolly

Absolutely fantastic video and well worth watching to the end even with the long run time. Abi has knocked it out of the park again. On a personal note, I had to put off watching this because I am going through a lot in my personal life with health problems for myself and my mother and I knew this subject is stressful, particularly for a transgender woman like myself. My heart goes out to trans and intersex folks in Britain. I'm in the US and things aren't great here either.

Great video! Would it be possible to publish the bibliography here on Patreon? I'd like to check out one of the citations from Germany, but I can't find the place in the video where it's mentioned.

OhTheMountains

could you possibly post a full resolution/legible version of the murder board at 50:35? it would be a super helpful resource. (Not as potential sources of information, but as case studies in unethical research practices. )

OhTheMountains

TBH, they're my fave co-star to date

"American academy? good for your family. American College? Don't Acknowledge." is such a helpful rhyme

Eilis

Seconding this. Incredible video, but I find it hard to pause on the right bit to get the citation!

Nikolay Zhlebinkov

Hey, at 32:00 you mention that Malcolm J. McCulloch became under secretary in charge of mental health. I searched through everyone who's held that position and couldn't find him, and went on to search on what McCulloch has actually been doing after psychiatry and couldn't find anything solid. Sounds like a ton of research went into this episode so I'd love to see some of the references. This statement about McCulloch especially caught my eye since you said he went into the government and I was excited to share that enraging piece of trivia until I decided to fact check it and hit a wall.

Thank you for the information. The small, highly-biased group did not think critically, targeting members of the vulnerable sector through political overreach in a system that had few checks and balances.

Amyphist

Couldn't bring myself to watch this at the time because the subject matter was too depressing. Two months later, finally got round to watching it. Well done, it was worth the time commitment. (Still was very depressing though...)
