░░░░░░░░ and love having young ░░░░░░░░ the show on our ░░░░░░░░ show our maiden primetime ░░░░░░░░ So let s talk ░░░░░░░░ little bit about this ░░░░░░░░ both came from Fox ░░░░░░░░ in the day and ░░░░░░░░ know this whole idea ░░░░░░░░ this not only the ░░░░░░░░ Month that fox is ░░░░░░░░ promoting and doing but ░░░░░░░░ whole thing about the ░░░░░░░░ the trans family where ░░░░░░░░ young girl said that ░░░░░░░░ was a boy but ░░░░░░░░ told her mom at ░░░░░░░░ years old with her ░░░░░░░░ she wasn t able ░░░░░░░░ talk yet but with ░░░░░░░░ eyes the mom says ░░░░░░░░ s going on over ░░░░░░░░ Fox Kelly Well I ░░░░░░░░ tell you I mean ░░░░░░░░ ve done stories on ░░░░░░░░ kids and I actually ░░░░░░░░ somebody we have a ░░░░░░░░ trans people in my ░░░░░░░░ family and one of ░░░░░░░░ was male to female ░░░░░░░░ the male to female ░░░░░░░░ says that they knew ░░░░░░░░ a very very young ░░░░░░░░ that they were supposed ░░░░░░░░ be a girl And ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ history of transgender gender ░░░░░░░░ it affects mostly almost ░░░░░░░░ little boys who think ░░░░░░░░ they re actually girls ░░░░░░░░ the stats show that ░░░░░░░░ percent of those kids ░░░░░░░░ grow out of it ░░░░░░░░ left alone if you ░░░░░░░░ t interfere but not ░░░░░░░░ of them will So ░░░░░░░░ s room for some ░░░░░░░░ on this there is ░░░░░░░░ for reporting on how ░░░░░░░░ identify what s real ░░░░░░░░ s not how to ░░░░░░░░ supportive How not to ░░░░░░░░ anything drastic until you ░░░░░░░░ all that stuff Okay ░░░░░░░░ problem is the Fox ░░░░░░░░ Channel mission is not ░░░░░░░░ do reports that sound ░░░░░░░░ MSNBC right The Fox ░░░░░░░░ channel mission is to ░░░░░░░░ sure that they include ░░░░░░░░ context that gets ignored ░░░░░░░░ all the other stations ░░░░░░░░ in 2022 in particular ░░░░░░░░ know that there s ░░░░░░░░ lot more to this ░░░░░░░░ and it is irresponsible ░░░░░░░░ put it on the ░░░░░░░░ like this as a ░░░░░░░░ without flagging for the ░░░░░░░░ out there who are ░░░░░░░░ to this the significant ░░░░░░░░ of jumping onto this ░░░░░░░░ making sure you re ░░░░░░░░ that very very small ░░░░░░░░ of cases where this ░░░░░░░░ this gender dysphoria might ░░░░░░░░ be a thing And ░░░░░░░░ know the trope of ░░░░░░░░ d rather have a ░░░░░░░░ daughter than a live ░░░░░░░░ or the other way ░░░░░░░░ it s like that ░░░░░░░░ a very dangerous trope ░░░░░░░░ this is used by ░░░░░░░░ LGBTQ activists to shame ░░░░░░░░ who know about that ░░░░░░░░ percent statistic that generally ░░░░░░░░ I stay out of ░░░░░░░░ my kid s going ░░░░░░░░ outgrow this And in ░░░░░░░░ cases they just turn ░░░░░░░░ to be gay It ░░░░░░░░ like this is a ░░░░░░░░ form of conversion therapy ░░░░░░░░ default And so to ░░░░░░░░ flag the significant downsides ░░░░░░░░ what happens to these ░░░░░░░░ when they re put ░░░░░░░░ puberty blockers when they ░░░░░░░░ put on cross gender ░░░░░░░░ by the way when ░░░░░░░░ s done to girls ░░░░░░░░ re sterile they can ░░░░░░░░ have children anymore and ░░░░░░░░ can go down the ░░░░░░░░ is irresponsible to their ░░░░░░░░ I mean I don ░░░░░░░░ expect any of the ░░░░░░░░ press to do it ░░░░░░░░ really don t although ░░░░░░░░ should In 2022 we ░░░░░░░░ enough that they should ░░░░░░░░ I am surprised to ░░░░░░░░ Fox News not doing ░░░░░░░░ at all BOLLING Well ░░░░░░░░ conservative social media is ░░░░░░░░ in arms And I ░░░░░░░░ you and I would ░░░░░░░░ with this I don ░░░░░░░░ care as an adult ░░░░░░░░ you sleep with who ░░░░░░░░ want to wake up ░░░░░░░░ to what you want ░░░░░░░░ dress like I could ░░░░░░░░ less It s when ░░░░░░░░ children and we ve ░░░░░░░░ this push by teachers ░░░░░░░░ are pushing this on ░░░░░░░░ We see LibsofTikTok exposing ░░░░░░░░ many teachers who go ░░░░░░░░ know I came out ░░░░░░░░ my third grade our ░░░░░░░░ grade kids Kelly Absurd ░░░░░░░░ And another stat Megyn ░░░░░░░░ this is where the ░░░░░░░░ meets the road and ░░░░░░░░ hate using those terms ░░░░░░░░ I just saw a ░░░░░░░░ that in the last ░░░░░░░░ the number of children ░░░░░░░░ rate of children identifying ░░░░░░░░ trans has doubled than ░░░░░░░░ was just five years ░░░░░░░░ and it may be ░░░░░░░░ of some of this ░░░░░░░░ maybe these kids it ░░░░░░░░ not that they re ░░░░░░░░ realizing who they are ░░░░░░░░ what they want to ░░░░░░░░ it s they think ░░░░░░░░ s the right it ░░░░░░░░ more acceptable and what ░░░░░░░░ should be doing not ░░░░░░░░ they really are Kelly ░░░░░░░░ it s what that ░░░░░░░░ what s so disturbing ░░░░░░░░ I first started covering ░░░░░░░░ issues because I ve ░░░░░░░░ it in my own ░░░░░░░░ I was very kind ░░░░░░░░ open minded and sure ░░░░░░░░ point out to people ░░░░░░░░ this is a real ░░░░░░░░ in a small amount ░░░░░░░░ cases and we shouldn ░░░░░░░░ be bullying people who ░░░░░░░░ from this What s ░░░░░░░░ since then Eric is ░░░░░░░░ ve lost our minds ░░░░░░░░ this issue It s ░░░░░░░░ a political issue almost ░░░░░░░░ s like the politics ░░░░░░░░ that had taken over ░░░░░░░░ actual issue of it ░░░░░░░░ where now you know ░░░░░░░░ somebody s calling their ░░░░░░░░ a theyby instead of ░░░░░░░░ baby it s going ░░░░░░░░ be some far left ░░░░░░░░ progressive who s got ░░░░░░░░ political agenda they re ░░░░░░░░ out on their kid ░░░░░░░░ it s abusive And ░░░░░░░░ what we re doing ░░░░░░░░ hiding facts from parents ░░░░░░░░ have an absolute role ░░░░░░░░ this teachers who have ░░░░░░░░ own agenda trying to ░░░░░░░░ it on children when ░░░░░░░░ comes to sex when ░░░░░░░░ comes to gender things ░░░░░░░░ they should not be ░░░░░░░░ anywhere near And that ░░░░░░░░ middle school teacher working ░░░░░░░░ her issues because she ░░░░░░░░ safe with her sixth ░░░░░░░░ Go to a therapist ░░░░░░░░ t work out your ░░░░░░░░ on my kid In ░░░░░░░░ if my kid brings ░░░░░░░░ issues of his own ░░░░░░░░ you you bring them ░░░░░░░░ me I didn t ░░░░░░░░ you for that I ░░░░░░░░ you to teach math ░░░░░░░░ s it This one ░░░░░░░░ not well enough to ░░░░░░░░ in front of these ░░░░░░░░ So we ve crossed ░░░░░░░░ to this point in ░░░░░░░░ where it s getting ░░░░░░░░ dangerous because tolerance by ░░░░░░░░ who wanted to be ░░░░░░░░ minded who were totally ░░░░░░░░ favor of non bullying ░░░░░░░░ support and loving kind ░░░░░░░░ have been taking taken ░░░░░░░░ of now to the ░░░░░░░░ where their children are ░░░░░░░░ wrestled away from them ░░░░░░░░ are I mean we ░░░░░░░░ seen that literally in ░░░░░░░░ Walsh s film What ░░░░░░░░ a Woman we see ░░░░░░░░ case in Canada where ░░░░░░░░ guy lost his daughter ░░░░░░░░ he would not say ░░░░░░░░ she was his son ░░░░░░░░ more and more tolerance ░░░░░░░░ being exploited
