[0:00]Today I want to talk about why there are so many damn transes? Where are all the transes coming from?

[0:08]I'm in the hole. This is the hobby hole. It's somewhere new. I'm very sorry. It's probably just this one video.

[0:13]I had to wait all day to film because near my house there would do they people were doing a thing, they were doing a music thing. There was lots of singing.

[0:23]It may seem in 2025, trans people are everywhere. Millions of us.

[0:29]We are in your walls. We are in your sewers. We are going to take over.

[0:33]That's not true. You're being lied to. There are lots of trans people, do not ask us about why economy bad. Definitely not a distraction technique.

[0:43]There are not very many trans people overall. We are just talked about a lot.

[0:48]There is a crazy amount of news based on us and topics and debate. It's just culture wars.

[0:53]It is not the most fun. I have statistics right here on my phone, so you know they're real.

[0:59]There was a census in England in 2021. It's not crazy up to date, but apparently we haven't done another one.

[1:05]There was 262,000 people that were over 16 and trans, which is 0.5% of the population.

[1:16]That's a tiny amount. Of the 262,000 people who reported a different gender identity, around 48,000 identified as a trans man, and 48,000 as a trans woman.

[1:27]30,000 is non-binary and 18,000 as other. But I didn't start making YouTube videos until 2023.

[1:35]So there's probably like a million more trans people. You're welcome woke.

[1:40]More statistics, in the USA, 1.6 million people are estimated to be transgender aged 13 and older. This is 0.5% of the adult population in the US.

[1:51]Pretty much the same percentage amount of trans people in the US. It just skews more young, which makes a ton of sense because it's it's harder the older you get to make such drastic changes.

[2:02]It makes a lot more sense that younger people would push to transitioning because they don't have an established life. They have a life. They have school, friends, but they don't have like job routines, maybe like their own kids.

[2:17]It's not kids being brainwashed into the trans cult. It's kids feeling that they can be themselves or adults feeling that they can finally be themselves.

[2:26]You don't have to hide it, bury it. Go about your life and and hate everything, your job, your wife, your kids because you want to be a woman.

[2:35]It it does seem like there are more trans people in 2025 than there like ever have been and honestly, that's probably true.

[2:42]The majority of day-to-day people are accepting. We have more knowledge and community. We have places we can go online to learn and to talk with others and to understand ourselves and feel supported.

[2:56]A lot of people, conservative people seem to think that it's a trend or if you talk about it at a certain age, you'll brainwash your kids or because a very, very small minority of people de-transition that it is like a thing that you can put upon people.

[3:11]You can't. It's like being gay or straight. You can't. It's it's hardwired in, it's hard coded.

[3:17]I don't think de-transitioners disprove the point at all because the majority of de-transitioners de-transition because of social pressure or hate, not really regretting a transition. It's more just like fear of not being safe.

[3:34]It's so outside social pressure, not inside. There is a very, very, very small amount of people who de-transition because they are not trans. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that.

[3:44]You can experiment and you can get it wrong. It's it's not a huge deal. No kid is going straight to the genital factory and and having stuff messed with without the consent of doctors and adults and parents and all that stuff.

[3:57]That is just propaganda or propagander, love.

[4:04]I would like to bring up the left-hand chart. Back in ye olden days, before the transes existed, obviously.

[4:11]People thought that being left-handed meant that you were demonic, you were evil, you suck. Right-handed people were the best. Everyone stays with the best.

[4:19]We write the goodest. As society moved on from whatever that nonsense was, into new nonsense. Acceptance for left-handed folk became more common.

[4:29]My mom is left-handed, and I accept her for her lifestyle choice. As it became more socially acceptable in society to be left-handed, the amount of left-handed people shot up.

[4:40]It was not brainwashing, it was not people faking it. It was that now they are allowed to be out as left-handed.

[4:49]If you were to just ban being right-handed, the amount of right-handed people would drop off a cliff. It's perfect common sense. I don't really know how you can argue against it.

[5:00]It's also happening with neurodiverse people. Autism, ADHD, they are lumped into the like, it's a trend disease. It's not real. It's something that you learn about and just pretend that you have.

[5:12]But it's one of those things that somehow the uneducated have really just they've been spoon-fed this propaganda and they're gonna they'll, boy, they're gonna stick to it. The autism is in the water and the trans is in the food.

[5:27]What food would turn you trans? Hmm.

[5:31]It has been proven time and time again that you cannot brainwash the trans out of someone. The reverse of that is also true. You cannot brainwash the trans into someone.

[5:40]You cannot turn a cis person trans. There have been studies or examples from individuals who have been forced, like their parents were forced into making a decision and they did a tiny bit of mutilation.

[5:56]And then as the child grew up, they basically transitioned, but it was more like a de-transition.

[6:00]I am referencing a particular one that I can't remember right now, and I don't have it.

[6:05]Hey, Ashley, the editor here. Ashley is ever so eloquently talking about the case of David Reimer.

[6:10]Born in 1965 as Bruce Reimer, he underwent a dreadfully botched circumcision in his infancy.

[6:15]A solution was posed by a deeply unethical and now thoroughly debunked and discredited psychologist who suggested his parents raised him as a girl.

[6:22]At 22 months old, he was surgically reassigned and raised as Brenda.

[6:27]Throughout his youth, even with no knowledge of his trauma, he didn't feel comfortable being a girl, and noted his discomfort even at the age of nine or ten.

[6:33]By age 14, he had reverted to living as male and took on the name David.

[6:37]It's complicated and confusing, but basically, you can't brainwash the trans into a person.

[6:43]You cannot convince someone that they are trans long term. You you could maybe brainwash a dumb idiot child to be trans for a little bit.

[6:54]And I completely understand that as a fear. However, that is when sane adults around the child are responsible.

[7:02]That is why children can't get surgery, like to take hormones, you need like parental consent and medical consent.

[7:09]You need psychologist to be like, 'Hell yeah, you're trans,' and then endocrinologist to be like, 'Yeah, you're safe to have the medication, I think you should have it.'

[7:16]It's a whole thing, right? It takes a lot of professional, well-educated people that you trust. You have to trust them.

[7:23]You would trust them to do surgery. You would trust them to treat you if you were ill. It is the same thing.

[7:28]It may seem everywhere, but it is because people won't shut up. We are a tiny, tiny community who just want to fit in and be normal and build Horus Heresy Space Marines mark II armor variant.

[7:41]It's going to take me forever to build these. I want to build the Satarine Termine. We just want to fit in and be normal and have families and friends and jobs and regular stuff and people just won't shut up.

[7:50]The world collectively went mental. They went completely insane, and since 2020 until now, we have not shut up about the transes.

[7:57]But I guess it it means that like I stay in business if we're still talking about it. But if it was up to me, and it was up to the trans community, I imagine that we would much prefer to just be left alone.

[8:08]We don't need scaremongering articles. We don't need articles in general. We don't need to be in the news. Barely anything happens, okay?

[8:17]No harassments, no, uh, scary bathroom attacks. They're just kind of doing their best. There's not many of us.

[8:24]So you should join in. I hope that this has been a video.

[8:30]Yeah, join our cult is my second channel, at smalliky or ikkystreams on Twitch. And YouTube technically you can search that too.

[8:38]And also ik.studio because clothes are cool and you need them. You do.

[8:45]Transition 2020. Zero bathroom incidents in five years. I need a sign that says, um, bathroom harassments and it's like how many days it's been.

[8:56]That many days since harassment harassing someone in a bathroom.
