Default Ben Shapiro tackles the question of Transgenderism



[Benjamin Aaron Shapiro (born January 15, 1984) is an American conservative political commentator, writer and lawyer. He has written seven books, the first being 2004's Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth, which he started writing when he was 17 years old.

Also at age 17, he became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the USA. Shapiro writes a column for Creators Syndicate, serves as editor-in-chief for The Daily Wire, which he founded, and hosts The Ben Shapiro Show, a daily political podcast and radio show. He was editor-at-large of Breitbart News between 2012 and 2016. ] Source: wiki

You can convince yourself that you’re right on any topic if you have an ego and an enabler. This idiot has plenty of both.

To be fair, I think everyone acknowledges that transgender people will always biologically be their birth sex no matter what, so it's a pointless argument. But calling transwomen "he" is unnecessary and harsh, obviously.

So... before he had actually ever set foot in a University? Says quite a lot about his character on its own, doesn't it?

A professional Contrary Mary for the sake of it.

He must have had to fight several siblings for attention as a child.

Was it not obvious what I think?

I think he's a person desperate for attention and takes small obvious pieces of information and exaggerates them to try and be controversial for the sake of it.

What do you think of what he said?

Edit - Katie Hopkins is, arguably, "successful". Means nothing to me.

Agree with this tbh. I do agree with bits and pieces of what he said but he comes across as arrogant and a bit of a dick. I bet he was the one no one liked on his school debating team

'Pro-abortion arguments'

So another man who thinks he can dictate what a woman can do with her body. Keep him.

Well he isn't as intelligent as he appears. He does say many things that are not true. For instance, he said that all biologists are taught there are only two genders which is not the case. In genetics there are two sexes usually, XX or XY, but there are many instances of mutations where the sex is more unclear (such as if there is an extra X chromosome). But the point is Biologists never learn there are only two genders. Gender is completely societal, and the idea of gender fluidity has been present in civilizations even 100s and 1000s years old.

Not to mention other idiotic things he's said like debating climate change. He talks fast and has a big ego, but that doesn't make him smart

this guy isnt as intelligent as he likes to make himself out to be or how he comes across as. seen a couple of videos of his and he seems to get gender and sex mixed up like yes everyone is aware that somebodies sex isnt changed. he seems to only listen to the facts which he agrees with then ignores everything else

He also seriously confuses himself over sex and gender and the similarities/differences between the two.

Of course these don't apply to everyone, blahblah. But to say that gender roles are entirely constructed is just wrong, but society does place the expectations the men and women will behave in a certain way.

Hold up. As you said the two sexes have different biological make-up. Key word being *sex* NOT gender. I'm also not talking about gender roles I am talking about gender.

So we're not talking at cross-purposes, can you define exactly what you think the differences are?
