You're in the ladies room and then you realize somebody else is in
there that doesn't have a female's has a male body instead of a female's body.
It just causes some issues there.
People, they probably don't realize you
think that's because you have to be on the air.
That's been are you gonna go through the procedure?
>> We just saw right there was Republican Senator Elaine Gannon of Missouri asking
obviously very medically invasive questions to a teen.
Trans teen named Avery Jackson.
Avery by the way said that this was the first time a random grown up not a doctor,
not a medical professional had asked them that kind of question.
Their mom, Debbie added that what the video didn't show was her squeezing
Avery's hand in that moment.
Quote almost in an attempt to have myself not jump up.
And although we should acknowledge that,
I think it's impossible to come up with a context where some random
Republican state senators asking unprompted questions like that of a teen.
The conversation wasn't about bathrooms or anything like that.
That's just something that apparently Elaine Gannon is curious about and
just wants to make a public spectacle over the hearing.
Where you just saw Avery speaking was about transgender kids being able
to play on sports teams that align with their gender.
But again, these Republicans are are perverse,
they're insane when it comes to this topic.
And so getting an opportunity to talk to a trans team and ask these questions to try
to throw them off, try to embarrass them, God only knows what.
Elaine Gannon isn't gonna miss the opportunity for that.
Now, I wanna give you at least a little bit of the response from Avery and
their mom, Debbie, here's what they had to say about the interaction.
>> I think we're going around forcing our trying to deal with the factory and
what you want to do is not let people do that.
Your whole argument here is the fact that you don't
want people to use back in the bathroom.
The one that no one is looking at lieutenant.
>> I was seriously just curious public record about genitals.
And if people would see that, how would anyone know that we have been coming for
seven years trying to help people understand.
And I know this is about but that's the point of his article around
those myself here, wanting to play sports with your friends.
That's what this bill is and getting wrapped up in the genitals and bathrooms.
[INAUDIBLE].
>> I love everything that Debbie had to say there.
This is about the life of kids like Avery, but for the state senator it's,
I'm just curious, it's just a thing I could just ask these questions.
It doesn't mean anything to me, I don't care.
It's your life for me it's a political weapon.
It's something to get my base fired up.
If I get them to hate and fear people like you enough
then maybe we can stay in power and we can continue to profit.
It just, it makes me sick.
And I can only imagine for people like Avery or
for people like Debbie having to continually go through with this.
Just trying to have a member of the family get to live their life.
>> Yeah, so nothing says individual liberty and
song government like a government official asking about your genitalia.
Yeah, I mean, they say with a straight face, right?
Like, we're for small government and let me see your Johnson or or
whatever you got going on.
Okay, I want to know all about it.
I want to hear the details.
What do you do with it in the bathroom?
Or you're 14, who cares?
Tell me more.
Show me more, right.
What part of that is small government?
What part of that is individual liberty.
Republicans?
You have a rebuttable presumption you meet a republican.
Maybe he can convince you that he's not a liar.
But their ideology is nothing but lies.
They never meant small government.
They never meant freedom.
They meant I oppress you.
And that's how this thing works.
Okay, so, and the absurdity of this topic is endless.
So they say, well, if you look male, but
they think you're actually female because of how you were born.
And you walk into a female, you should walk into a female bathroom
because you were born a female walking a few.
And if you did, and you look like a male, what would they do?
They flip out.
They'd go nuts.
They'd be like, what's the guy doing in the girls bathroom?
You told me to come in here.
Okay, I wanted to go into the guy's bathroom because I am a guy.
But you said no, you were born a girl, so you have to go into the girls bathroom.
So I'm in the girls bathroom, how dare you come in here?
You look like a guy.
You know, that's what they would do.
Okay, so it's absurd in every way.
And then finally she said, how would anyone know?
That's such a good point?
I can't believe I have made that point in all these years.
So thank you.
What are your republicans doing?
Are you looking at us when we're in the bathroom?
All of us?
What's gonna tell you, do they have?
Are you sneaking in a peek at the urinals?
You perverts, are you busting into people's stalls?
Why do you care what they're doing in private?
What genitalia do you have?
I really want to see your genitalia,,
that's how republicans are small government, my ass.
You guys are up in our business.
You're trying to find out about our genitalia.
Leave us alone, you perverts.
We actually believe in freedom and individual liberty.
>> I'm sorry Jake [LAUGH].
So I know it's not funny, but it's funny?
I agree with you.
First of all, I cringe at the thought of thinking about anybody's genitalia while
I'm in any bathroom.
Secondly, as a mom to a daughter and a son, I can tell you which I've taken
both of my children to the bathroom when they were younger.
I have never really heard of anybody being assaulted by a trans human in a bathroom.
But I have heard people being assaulted by a heterosexual
male in the bathroom or by sorry cis gender male.
So I just think that it's so fascinating.
I have many trans friends and I will tell you the people who are DM them,
the people who are creeping into their DMs on twitter and
Instagram who are fascinated with them.
And many of them who want to get down with them are cis gender people
who are supposedly heterosexual and anti-trans.
So I just think it's so interesting why that,
first of all they were talking about sports.
And courtroom Karen made it about bathrooms and
her fascination because she sorry, I got angry.
I just think that when you do stuff to the kids, you talk to her mom.
Talk to their mom, don't address the Children.
And I've always had that as a rule with my own kids,
don't you dare take issue with my Children, their Children.
You take that issue up with me.
That was totally inappropriate.
I am burning up as a mom because I wouldn't let her have it.
How dare you!
>> You're totally right obviously of the sorts of people that do these assaults.
But in particular one of the things that makes this constant debate
that they keep coming back to about bathrooms.
And Glenn Junkin tried to make that like half of his run for governor that,
making us that you can't talk about slavery or whatever.
What makes it even more perverse is if a trans person goes into a bathroom.
Of all of the danger that exists, virtually every bit of it is felt and
experienced by that trans person.
Because as you're right,
there's no epidemic of trans people assaulting anyone bathrooms.
But there is an ongoing epidemic that nobody almost even acknowledges,
let alone does anything about trans individuals being hunted down and
harassed and assaulted and murdered.
And so to take this particular thing is just so
purposefully sick and also exploitative.
Like there are definitely regular conservatives,
that are incredibly ignorant of the trans community and obsessed and hateful and
fearful of the trans community.
I don't doubt that at all.
But for the elite class of Republicans, the politicians,
they are just using this to maintain their
position of power to stop regulations that might cost them some money.
They don't care at all about this.
They're not losing sleep over what happens in bathrooms.
But they do believe that their base is hateful enough and ignorant enough to be
convinced to think about politics exclusively through that lens.
>> I wanna give, let one of our members have a comment here.
Would love to do the show with you guys, TYT.com.
So let's join to become a member, be part of the show.
Dragon with the girl tattoo wrote in being curious about a 14 year old genitals can
land you in prison.
So Q and on where you at where you at?
There's a Republican senator, elite,
powerful Republican senator who's asking about a young child's genitals.
I assume you guys are enraged, right?
You're, finally, you got him, you got someone in power who's interested in
Children's genitals, you're not gonna do anything, right?
Because of course everyone in the right wing is full of crap.
They don't mean a word they say.
They just, the whole thing is an excuse in a facade for hatred, fear and hatred.
That's the Republican Party period.
Sorry, also agreed.
Okay, and finally, I was, I'll tell you personally acted,
I actually did have a creepy situation once in the bathroom.
It was a public bathroom in New York.
I think it was Grand Central Station and
I was in a stall and I'm like, just something weird, there's something wrong.
It's like I had this instinct, but I couldn't tell what it was and
then I looked up and some creepy dude was looking into the stall.
He had stood on the toilet of the other stall and
was looking down at me like this.
That is the creepiest thing you'll ever see, right?
That right there, that picture in my mind, that's the Republican Party.
They're creeping into our stalls, like what are you doing?
What's your want to invade your personal life?
You should do what I tell you and not what you want.
I hate your individual liberty.
Show me your gentleness.
That's the perverts that are the Republican Party.
