Trisha Paytas made a lot of people mad today when she came out as trans which
makes us ask how can someone be capable of doing something like this there
actually might be a scientific explanation for it
yo yo yo if you're in a good mood you're gonna love it isn't that the fun part
though about dating someone with like borderline personality like you don't
know what mood they're gonna be in are they gonna be happier they're gonna be
mad what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired salt where we talk
about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel
what I try to do is take two the topics going on in the YouTube community and I
try to look at them from different angles then other channels are so if
you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and bring that notification
bell and if you're not yet follow me over on Instagram and Twitter
the rewired soul so many of you know that with each of my videos granted they
get monetized by YouTube 20% goes to a different charity and I try to tell you
with the topic of the video so in this video seeing as how Trisha Paytas is we
are going to be donating 20% of this video to The Trevor Project all right
the Trevor Project is an amazing organization that is dedicated to
helping LGBTQ teens alright so I will also provide a direct donation link down
below if you want to donate to them directly
but I would appreciate if you share this video so we could donate a little bit
more to The Trevor Project all right so what happened I'm not going to show a
bunch of clips from Trisha Paytas this video I'll link it down below but yeah
you heard her right she came out as trans today alright a busy day and I was
receiving a lot of DMS a lot of Dan's asking me if I was going to talk about
this and yeah I hopped on Twitter and I saw
Trisha pay this was trending I'm like all right like let's see what's going on
now Before we jump into what was happening on Twitter I need you to write
down two numbers I need you to leave two numbers down in the comment section
below all right I have a question for you
about empathy on a scale of one to ten how much empathy do you feel that Trisha
Paytas has all right one being absolutely no empathy ten being just
extremely empathetic all right so scale of one to ten write that number down put
it in the comments below but the second number is I want you to tell me how much
empathy you have how much do you feel you have on a scale of 1-10 how
empathetic do you think you are again one is no empathy at all ten is you are
just the most impact person on earth all right we're gonna come back to those
numbers later but anyways let's check out some of these tweets so this first
one from B says just open YouTube and saw Trisha Paytas say that she
identifies as a trans man because she finds gay men attractive next tweet says
Trisha Paytas fully said she finds gay guys hard so that's why she's a
transgender gay guy no effing words just crickets the next one says F Trisha
Paytas if you support her in any way shape or form then block me right now
and even our good buddy I never timed in where they say Trisha
Paytas is the reason I stopped eating McDonald's chicken nuggets
she put a weird vibe on them oh also because I'm slightly overweight new
video tomorrow responding to the kitchen floor cry baby so then I was curious I
was like how is Trisha Paytas responding to this all right so this first one this
is from a tweet about the video and it says this would be more funny if girls
weren't being killed for disclosing this fact Trisha Paytas says it's not meant
to be funny because I don't look like a traditional male on the outside on a
joke men can wear dresses heels and makeup you know closed-minded and
ignorant Vickey Vox actually retweeted this and
said that report this tweet using gender identity as clickbait is a privileged
act of violence I'm not gonna stand for it I don't care what it's actually about
the headline and photo use cannot be serious
trans people are murdered for quietly trying to live their life big nope
Trisha replies you don't know me by journey my struggle my transition I've
been with a gender identity therapy specialist for the past six months cuz I
hated who I was since I was three think before you tweet this is more
harmful than me sharing my story and her and Vicky box had one more
back-and-forth sharing your story not you're trying to sell clicks and tickets
do you I pray for the most benevolent outcome for your journey and she says
you're disgusting trash so harmful because I don't look like a traditional
male I'm a joke I pray no one judges you the way that you judging me I've been
hospitalized three times this year you do not know my struggle you're a pig and
should be deleted off Twitter so we have to ask ourselves why why would she do
this right why does anybody do what they do this is something that I'm regularly
thinking about and again like I showed in the intro she said this in a previous
video fun part though about dating someone with like borderline personality
and like you don't know what mood they're gonna be in are they gonna be
happy are they gonna be mad so I just finished this amazing book right here by
Simon baron-cohen the science of evil and yes if you're wondering I was
curious too when I started this book Simon baron-cohen is actually cousins
with Sacha Baron Cohen yeah maybe they just had the same hyphenated last name
but anyways I said book I will link it down in the description below but the
biggest thing to note is that Simon who's been researching this stuff for
decades now he doesn't even really believe in pure evil the way that he
describes it in this book and he dives into some of the science behind it as
well is empathy why having a lot of empathy or lack of
empathy he actually uses a scale of 1 to 6 but anyways to explain some forms of
lack of empathy he talks about zero degrees of empathy and then he talks
about zero negative and zero positive so zero positive he refers to people who
have Asperger's or autism all right so although people with Asperger's or
autism they struggle with empathy and reading other people's emotions and
things like that like there are many many things that people with autism or
Asperger's contribute to the world and they do amazing things they have a very
systematic mind and it's awesome right but then he talks about zero negative
people who have empathy and there are a few different categories that fall into
this all right so he discusses people who have been diagnosed with
narcissistic personality disorder he talks about psychopath sociopath as well
as people who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder all
right and again Trisha Paytas said this isn't a fun part though about dating
someone with like borderline personality and like you don't know what mood
they're gonna be in are they gonna be happier they're gonna be mad no through
simon baron-cohen research as well as collaborating with other scientists and
neurologists and things like that they discovered that there's actually an
empathy circuit all right in the brain so here are the brain region so part of
the empathy circuit includes the anterior insula the amygdala the caudal
anterior cingulate cortex the dorsal / ventral medial prefrontal cortex the
frontal a per coulomb inferior frontal gyrus inferior parietal lobule
inferior parietal sulcus middle cingulate cortex orbital frontal cortex
posterior superior temporal sulcus right temporoparietal Junction and the somato
sensory cortex alright so what does this talk now they have done fMRI brain scans
for people with different diagnoses and they see that these various regions of
the brain in in the empathy circuit do not function
properly alright and this can help us understand the lack of empathy that some
people have now like we've shown Trisha Paytas says she has borderline
personality disorder the question is how does somebody get a borderline
personality disorder alright so according to some studies
they say this forty to seventy six percent of people with BPD report that
they were sexually abused as children and twenty five to seventy-three percent
report that they were physically abused so while there is a good deal of
research that links childhood abuse to BPD there is also evidence that about a
third of people with BPD report know abuse
so if borderline personality disorder is a result of abuse in many cases alright
and a lack of empathy is the result of borderline personality disorder can we
really blame that person now that you've answered that question in your mind I
want you to go back to the question that I asked you at the very beginning of
this video on a scale of one to ten how empathetic do you feel that you are
right so many of us feel that we're extremely empathetic but when we learn
stories about how people become the way they are we completely lose empathy for
them and that's something else is very interesting in this book is about how
normal people are able to switch off their empathy all willy-nilly right like
wouldn't it make sense that we're empathetic towards people that developed
certain mental illnesses because they were abused and things like that like
when I was working in the treatment center I met so many people so many
people that became addicts and developed different diagnoses because of childhood
abuse right and then just seeing the stigma that's around them it's like yes
yes what they do sucks and a lot of it is a lack of empathy it's cruel
when I was in my active addiction I was a liar a cheat a thief you know and all
these other things so here's my question to you all right you can answer it in
the comments below or you could just answer it in your mind I just want to
get wheels turning alright although there might be a reason that mental
illness came to fruition and we also have to remember that genetics or a
component as well at what point does a person take responsibility for their own
healing right at what point does a person have to learn and educate
themselves about their diagnosis and you know get help for it right so something
that I was taught seven years ago when I got sober was although there were
reasons I became addicted to drugs and alcohol it was now my responsibility to
start changing my life for the better you know what I mean so these are just
things I want you to take into consideration moving forward when you
see these types of stories alright but anyways that's all I got for this video
