telling me a lie and i don't want to be part of this movement anymore and that's when i kind of just left the left and i would identify as a libertarian um but you know it is what it is i can't get i i can't be okay with being told i need to agree with lies or indulge lies i just can't do
All right, guys. Got Josh here all the way from Chicago. Thanks for making it out today, my man. Thanks for having me, man. I appreciate it. Coming off a five-month social experiment, made the headlines. Joe Rogan was just talking about it. Congrats on all the PR, man. Thank you. I appreciate it, man. That means a lot. Yeah. Did you expect it to blow up like it did?
Yes and no. I knew it was probably going to make some headlines just because I had been on The Bachelorette and I've been in the news before. And that topic is so polarizing. Gender ideology is probably one of the biggest topics for sociopolitical issues going on right now. So I thought it was going to make a splash.
But I didn't think it was going to make quite the splash it made with the number of people talking about it. I wasn't expecting Megyn Kelly to be talking about it, Michael Knowles, and a lot of the people that ended up commentating on what I did. So that part was unexpected. I thought it was going to be more just people on social media discussing this and discussing wider issues related to it.
But I was kind of shocked how it made it into the mainstream media a little bit more. I feel that. Now making it to Rogan's. Super crazy. Yeah, so that's kind of top of the hill. Yeah for people that don't know about the experiment Could you explain what you did?
Yeah, so in May of last year I announced that I was transgender and I was gonna transition and I was now a woman named Jay I was no longer Josh and for six months I put on dresses makeup and lipstick and I made videos every day on Instagram documenting my journey as a woman. And I wanted to see what people's reaction was going to be to it. And there's a lot of people that said, we support you.
You are a valid woman. There's a lot of people that said, you're still a man. You need to shave more and then you'd be a woman. Or if you would just do your makeup better, then you'd be a valid trans woman. And so I did that for six months. And then in October, I announced on Alex Stein's show, Primetime with Alex Stein, that it was all a social experiment to kind of expose
why gender ideology is pernicious, and that at the end of the day, we're all just men in makeup and lipstick. We're not women. There's no magical transformative power to saying, I'm trans. And the medical guidelines are creating a problem by allowing people to self-identify into women's spaces who aren't women. I love that. Was six months always the plan, or were you planning on doing it longer?
Six months was always the plan. I wanted to keep it short enough to keep people engaged. I didn't want to go too long where I lost interest or people kind of moved on to other things. So me and the people that I came up with this idea with kind of thought six months would be about the perfect time. Which community's reactions were you surprised with that either supported or did not support it?
