Chapter 1: Why is Brett Cooper focusing on transgenderism in this episode?

0.049 - 20.315 Brett Cooper

So last week, I basically did my longest ever video in the history of Fred Cooper videos and did a recap on Trump's first month in office. And a huge portion of that video was talking about his executive orders. I think he has signed more executive orders in this first month than any president in history. And as you guys saw, I am a huge fan of basically all of them.

0

20.455 - 31.642 Brett Cooper

But within this slew of executive orders with wide-ranging topics, there were four that addressed transgenderism. And I want to talk about those specifically today. Well, not just them in general, but about one issue in particular.

0

Chapter 2: What executive orders did Trump sign regarding transgender issues?

31.742 - 49.553 Brett Cooper

And those executive orders, you know, he did one that established that the United States only has two genders, which, you know, it's a shock that even has to be established. He's also doing what he can to ban men from competing in women's sports. He is now keeping transgender members out of the military. And lastly, he cut federal funding for the chemical and surgical mutilation of children.

0

49.613 - 69.808 Brett Cooper

And that is what I want to focus on today. And obviously there was outrage over every single one of these four executive orders, and it feels unlikely as Congress stands right now that any of these will be passed as bills, even though I would love them to. considering that every single Democrat in Congress voted against passing a bill that would keep men out of women's sports just last week.

0

69.828 - 84.879 Brett Cooper

And I want you to hear that again, every single Democrat. And that issue specifically, as we discussed last week, is not even controversial. Studies have shown that 70% of Americans on a baseline believe that men, biological men, should not compete against women.

0

85.319 - 96.848 Brett Cooper

And these people that are in Congress that are supposed to represent us, that are supposed to represent that 70%, overwhelmingly, every single one of them voted no. So I think that just kind of gives you an overview of where our government stands right now.

0

96.908 - 115.04 Brett Cooper

And so what needs to change in order to push any of these bills through to make these into law so that they can't just be undone by another president four years from now? Well, in my opinion, people need to be hit in the face with the facts about these procedures and the lasting effects that they have on people, specifically on developing minds, specifically on American children.

115.12 - 129.648 Brett Cooper

And the thing is, changing people's minds on this is not an impossible feat. It is happening in countries around the world, just not here in America. Now, in this episode, I'm going to be joined by my good friend, Chloe Cole, and we're going to talk about why America is so ridiculously behind on this issue.

129.668 - 151.976 Brett Cooper

We're also going to break down the recent bombshell studies that should horrify Americans and jolt our government into action if they weren't so cucked by their own freaking flawed ideology. I also want to remind you guys that this is the last week to buy my exclusive launch merch. This is the merch collection that we created just for the launch, this launch period of the Red Cooper Show.

152.036 - 162.499 Brett Cooper

We have had an amazing first month. I'm so grateful for all of your support. I'm so grateful that you guys are so excited about the merch. So we're going to be closing those sales and I'm so excited to get you all your hoodies and your hats and your T-shirts.

162.639 - 171.422 Brett Cooper

Now, in addition to those executive orders, obviously being a very relevant and pressing issue, this week also had Detransitioner Awareness Day. It was actually just yesterday.

Chapter 3: What are the consequences of transitioning surgeries according to recent studies?

237.714 - 245.859 Brett Cooper

And if you are not up to date on the best new academic platform out there, Peterson Academy is Jordan Peterson's new online university that is open for enrollment right now.

0

245.899 - 261.007 Brett Cooper

And so if you are somebody like me who loves lifelong learning and wants to learn from the brightest professors in the entire world, or if you're somebody who has just ever benefited from Dr. Peterson's lectures and his incredible guests on his podcast, then this platform is for you. Every month, Peterson Academy releases four new in-depth,

0

261.287 - 271.275 Brett Cooper

eight-hour university-level courses that are taught by world-renowned experts and professors, and they are produced specifically to keep you fully engaged. This is not your normal boring college lecture. This is something totally different.

0

271.335 - 283.984 Brett Cooper

They cover an amazing range of topics from philosophy to history to psychology to science to business to mathematics, complete with optional testing to further and deepen your understanding. Plus, they are continually rolling out new educational features as they continue growing the platform.

0

284.024 - 299.297 Brett Cooper

There is also a built-in social community, which I think is so important, so that you can connect with and learn alongside like-minded people from around the world. So guys, if you are ready to challenge your intellect, to expand your horizons and take control of your continuing education, it is time to go to petersonacademy.com slash Brett.

299.358 - 313.131 Brett Cooper

And guys, you do not have to be at a certain point in your life or a certain age to benefit from Peterson Academy. I think that this will be an incredible resource for homeschool families. This is something that I would have just been obsessed with as a teenager. It'll be great for college students who like me felt like they weren't really getting what they wanted.

313.331 - 333.06 Brett Cooper

We're paying for, for adults who feel like they're missing out on learning. There really is something for everyone. And it is only $599 per year or $59 a month to access all 31 eight hour courses with four new courses a month, plus the community with a seven day money back guarantee. But I highly doubt you will need it. I have been on Peterson Academy. I've been taking the classes.

333.4 - 350.642 Brett Cooper

They are truly top tier, high caliber. You guys will love them. And guys, best part, in my opinion, is that for that price, for $599 a year, you do not have to go out and take out some $60,000 student loan to further your education. Again, that is petersonacademy.com slash brett to get started and join Peterson Academy today.

350.762 - 366.361 Brett Cooper

Now the latest bombshell example of this accountability, of this self-awareness, of finally being honest about these procedures came out just a couple of weeks ago through the Oxford Journal. They released their findings after studying over 107,000 patients with gender dysphoria and found that yes, unequivocally,

Chapter 4: How does Chloe Cole's story contribute to the discussion on trans regret?

481.053 - 500.351 Brett Cooper

It was reanalyzed, and the American Journal of Psychiatry came in and clarified that, quote, the results of the reanalysis demonstrated no advantage of surgery in relation to subsequent mood or anxiety disorder-related healthcare visits or prescriptions or hospitalizations following suicide attempts. I mean, that... It's crazy. Again, nine months later.

0

500.671 - 519.44 Brett Cooper

Then, in 2024, an American study was finally released, because all of this was done overseas, that also confirmed all of this. But their sample size was only of 1,500 patients, so obviously it did not get the attention or the credibility that it probably deserved. So basically, we, on the common sense side of this issue, and all of the researchers have been saying this for years.

0

519.52 - 530.507 Brett Cooper

We have been sounding the alarms. People like Chloe Cole, like Riley Gaines have been sounding the alarms. But this new study from the Oxford Journal, with its magnitude, with its scope, with its size, and its damning outcomes, is pretty hard to refute.

0

530.587 - 546.757 Brett Cooper

And my good friend Chloe, who you guys probably know is a teen detransitioner who started puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones at age 13, who then underwent a double mastectomy at age 15, agreed with all of this, and she came on the show to share the validation that a study like this brings to her and her entire community.

0

546.877 - 564.084 Chloe Cole

I mean, it really affirms not only my own experiences with going through the entirety of transition, especially the surgery, but also that of all of my other detransition friends who've also had these surgeries and these other individuals who've reached out to me and have gone through them.

564.244 - 582.934 Chloe Cole

It's almost kind of vindicating that there are studies now that are showing the harms of what these surgeries do, not only physically, but also psychologically. And it really takes down this narrative that these surgeries are beneficial to the patient, that they create better outcomes for mental health and overall quality of life.

583.155 - 597.105 Brett Cooper

And I wanted Chloe to come on and I wanted you guys to hear her story and continue hearing her story because it tells you why these studies, why all of these reports are so vital. Because parents are literally told that their gender dysphoric children will die if their parents do not help them transition.

597.125 - 614.637 Brett Cooper

Many parents are threatened into agreeing to these experimental procedures purely based on fear and lies from psychiatrists, from doctors, and most importantly, from the media. This is what happened to Chloe Cole and her parents, and it is what famously happened to Elon Musk. This is why he cares so deeply about this issue. Just take a listen.

614.957 - 641.136 Elon Musk

I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier, This was before I had really any understanding of what was going on. We had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And, you know, I was told, oh, Xavier might commit suicide. That was a lie right from the outset? Incredibly evil.

Chapter 5: Why is the narrative of gender-affirming care being questioned?

644.988 - 663.322 Brett Cooper

It was a complete lie. They literally said, you must agree to this because your son will commit suicide if you don't. I mean, imagine putting that in front of a parent. Obviously, parents are going to go along with it. They're not going to think that it's a lie because why would doctors tell them a lie? Why would they use fear to push an experimental procedure on this innocent child.

0

663.422 - 680 Brett Cooper

So I want you guys to know that because when you hear the media freaking out that Trump is killing trans children, that he's doing all of this legislation that will kill trans people, that gender affirming care is actually keeping trans people alive, I want you all to know that all of that is based on a lie. That is what these reports are telling us.

0

680.02 - 699.948 Brett Cooper

So when you see headlines like this from the ACLU, Doctors agree gender-affirming care is life-saving care. This is from USA Today. Gender-affirming care is life-saving, research says. Why is it so controversial? Well, it's controversial because the science isn't really on your side. You might have a couple of doctors that are on board, but it is objectively scientifically controversial.

0

700.028 - 711.592 Brett Cooper

Like, the jury has been out. We are now getting to an objective solution. I have my opinions on it, but there is now becoming more of a consensus. It objectively has been controversial because you guys have been telling lies.

0

711.752 - 724.864 Brett Cooper

So gender affirming care saves lives is really an emotional fallacy that makes us easy, that makes parents and children easy to control and manipulate without having all of the facts. And so again, I have empathy for these parents.

724.904 - 742.582 Brett Cooper

It makes sense that so many parents would hear this from doctors, from the media, from specialists and be terrified for their kids and go, oh my gosh, I will do anything that it takes to keep my child from dying. I mean, who wouldn't do anything? to protect their child. But this is anything but protection. I mean, protecting your kids is being proactive.

742.602 - 756.276 Brett Cooper

863.015 - 878.639 Brett Cooper

Now, even though all of these studies that I've referenced at the beginning of this episode are incredibly important, especially that recent one from the Oxford Journal, just because of how huge the sample size is, and it should be eye opening for people around the world, they are still, in my opinion, missing a huge piece of the puzzle. Because at the end of the day,

0

879.039 - 895.738 Brett Cooper

If you read these reports, if you read these surveys and then you get to their conclusion, their conclusions are still flawed. Like the way that they interpret this issue, the way that they interpret the data and propose a solution is still dictated by their emotional ideology. And this idea that we have to affirm, we have to affirm.

0

895.838 - 912.007 Brett Cooper

For example, in that 2024 curious study that was done in the States with a very small sample size. Their conclusion found that patients who have undergone gender-affirming surgery are associated with significantly elevated risk of suicide, highlighting the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support. Here we go, another one.

0

912.047 - 930.013 Brett Cooper

In the Oxford Journal, this most recent one, they concluded that gender-affirming surgery, while beneficial in affirming gender identity, they're still propelling this lie that it's very good for affirming, that's very good for affirming, is associated with increased risk of mental health issues, underscoring the need for ongoing gender-sensitive mental health support for transgender individuals,

930.413 - 944.122 Brett Cooper

post surgery. This is where the science and the protocol is still inherently flawed. I mean, we have all of these studies saying the same thing, that these risks are increased, that the surgeries do not actually do anything, but make the situations worse.

944.242 - 960.273 Brett Cooper

And their response is not to address these experimental irreversible procedures that are obviously not working, but to say that they need more support after going through these surgeries that just clearly do not work, which in a way is still true. And we're going to get to that, but that is not the real pressing issue at hand, as Chloe said.

960.553 - 977.838 Chloe Cole

I guess the culture around these studies and the research around this was more focused on prevention of cases like mine, prevention of regret, and mitigating the risk of detransition as much as possible.

977.978 - 1002.008 Brett Cooper

But this, of course, also doesn't have to be exclusive because in her mind, in Chloe's mind, there should be a more holistic approach from when the patient comes in with gender dysphoria, with confusion over their bodies and their gender, and even after medical treatments, if they end up going through with it like she did at 15 years old, because in her experience after her surgery, when she started experiencing regrets and confusion about what she had just done to her body, she received nothing.
