The loving thing to do is to go into her room to turn on the light and say, baby, that's just a pile of clothes. That's not a monster. But today, when it is unpopular to turn the lights on and to tell someone that the that they fear or the thing that they've constructed in their mind, the narrative that they are following isn't real.
It's just the proverbial pile of clothes when it's more popular and it's considered more loving and more righteous and more empathetic to tell someone, yeah, you should be really scared of that monster or the delusion that you believe is absolutely true. people are really disincentivized to tell the truth because you get punished for it. You get blowback for it.

You and I are used to getting criticism. Most people aren't. So when you can just say, well, I'm just being empathetic by affirming something that you don't know is true, for example, that a man can become a woman, well, most people are going to fall in line.

Yeah. And gosh, that goes so deep into the differences of worldviews because there are different definitions of even harm. Like whenever I'm talking to a progressive or when I'm reading something from someone on the other side of the aisle, I really have to take the time to to ask about every word, but what do they mean by X? So what is meant by harm?

What they typically mean is that I am hurting this person's feelings. And this kind of goes in line with their ideology, which of course they believe that who we really are is what we feel on the inside. And that physical reality is kind of arbitrary. It's in submission to how we feel.

That's how they land at the conclusion that someone's true identity and true self is not what they are on the outside, but how they feel on the inside. And of course, I don't believe that. I think science, biology, observable reality tells us a lot about what is really true and who we are. So when I say harm, that gender ideology harms someone, I'm not just talking about hurt feelings.

I'm talking about the mutilation of someone's bodies. I'm talking about the harm that comes, I think, not just individually, but societally when you say that two plus two equals five. And of course, all the implications that this has for confused young people and on their ability to function sexually and all the stuff that we know about puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and all of that.

So we have two different definitions of harm. Theirs, I think, is superficial and it comes to feelings. Mine, really, I would say is about the whole person. And I am willing to risk hurting someone's feelings if it stops them from going down a path that is truly harmful.

Yeah, I just wanted to also point out that it not only harms the very people that I call them empathy mongers, say that they're trying to help. But it also, when we're talking about the gender issue and in the book, I talk about abortion, I talk about gender, I actually talk about sexuality. justice versus social justice and illegal immigration. So this is just one of the topics that I get into.

But one of the features of toxic empathy is that it blinds you to or purposely ignores the people on the other side of the moral equation. And so they will force you to only look at the person that they hoist up as a victim. But Gender ideology doesn't just harm those people. It harms the people on the other side. So it harms the young girl, Peyton McNabb.

I had her on my show, who is the young 17-year-old volleyball player who played a volleyball match against a boy who identified as the opposite sex. And he spiked the ball into her face. She is still dealing with paralysis from that. And she had a brain bleed and she will deal with some effect of that injury for the rest of her life.
