Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 800 | Anthropologie: Women’s Clothes for Men

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, this is Steve Day. If you're listening to Allie, you already understand that the biggest issues facing our country aren't just political. They're moral, spiritual, and rooted in what we believe is true about God, humanity, and reality itself. On the Steve Day show, we take the news of the day and tested against first principles, faith, truth, and objective reality. We don't just chase narratives and we don't offer false comfort. We ask the hard questions and follow the answers wherever they leave, even when it's unpopular. This is a show for people who want honesty over hype and clarity over chaos. If you're looking for commentary grounded in conviction and unwilling to lie to you about where we are or where we're headed.

Starting point is 00:00:33 You can watch this D-Day Show right here on Blaze TV or listen wherever you get podcasts. I hope you'll join us. Trans activists are losing their minds over state legislation that is protecting kids from body mutilating procedures and medications that are being given to them in the name of so-called gender affirmation. And then other states are passing legislation to become havens for these kinds of terrifying procedures. So there's good news and there's bad news when it comes to the kinds of laws that states are passing. We're also going to talk about that NYC subway writer that died after being

Starting point is 00:01:11 put in a headlock during an outburst on the train and the different reactions to that. And then, of course, we're going to talk about anthropology. What the heck? Using a man to model their female clothing. What in the world? We've got a lot to get through today. This episode of Relatable is brought to by our friends at Good Ranchers. Go to Good Ranchers.com. Use code Alley at checkout. That's Good Ranchers.com. Code Alley. Hey guys, welcome to your relatable. Happy Thursday. We've almost made it through this week. Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. That's exciting. I don't know if you and your loved ones celebrate wherever you are, but you should have at least a cassadilla or something to mark the day tomorrow. I'm a little under the weather. I just got like a little cold. I don't even

Starting point is 00:02:02 feel bad. So maybe it's just allergies. But if you hear that I sound more nasally than you. unusual, then that is why. All right, we've got a lot to get through today because the last two days, they've been interviews, and so I haven't been able to get through all of the news that I want to get through. I will try to get through them as quickly as possible. I probably won't because knowing myself and my history, it's basically impossible to do that. But, okay, first, let's talk about the story that everyone's talking about on Twitter this morning. We didn't even plan to talk about it. It wasn't part of the original rundown, but because I just know so many of you are going to ask me, what about this story? What do you think about it? I wanted to go ahead and give you a little

Starting point is 00:02:42 bit of a rundown about this man, 30-year-old man, Jordan Neely, who was killed during an outburst that he was having on the New York City subway. The reason why it's become a big deal is not only was he killed, but also he was a homeless person. He apparently was ranting and raving about not having any food, not having any shelter. He was put in a headlock by a white man. So people are calling this a lynching. People are calling this racism. And there are protests. If we have pictures of that and you're watching on YouTube, we can put that out there. Our protests outside the NYC subway saying that this is racism going unchecked in New York City. That's the reason why this black homeless person was killed. But of course, there is more to the

Starting point is 00:03:31 story. So let's back up a little bit. This is according to the New York Post. On Monday, a 30-year-old man Jordan Neely was put in a headlock when he began acting erratically and making threats to passengers on the subway just before 2.30 p.m. The man was shouting on the F train that he was hungry and thirsty, but did not attack anyone before he was placed in a chokehold. He had, however, started to throw garbage at fellow commuters, according to freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vasquez, who was there. He said, I don't have food. I don't have a drink. I'm fed up. I don't mind going to jail and getting life in prison, I'm ready to die, which is obviously very sad. Now, I will say there are a lot of resources in New York City for those who do not have resources, those who do not have a home,

Starting point is 00:04:14 who don't have shelter, who don't have food, who don't have anything to drink. There are a lot of places, thankfully, that provide that kind of thing. There's also a lot of government help. That's why there are so many homeless people who are in those kind of city centers in New York because there are so many resources for him. Obviously, this guy has some mental health problems. He has had numerous past arrests. According to Newsweek, 42 prior arrests for offenses, including assault. It's pretty serious. Disordedly conduct and fair evasion. At the time of his death, he had a warrant out for his arrest in a November 2021 case where he was accused of assaulting a 67-year-old woman in the East village. The man, he's 24 years old who put Neely in the chokehold. Apparently, he's a Marine

Starting point is 00:05:06 veteran. He was taken into custody. He was later released without any charges. The city medical examiner did say that Neely died due to compression of the neck. And the death is being investigated. Of course, people are saying that this was a murder. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a relatable fave tweeted Jordan Ely was murdered, but because Jordan was houseless in crime for food at a time when the city is raising rent and stripping services to militarize itself, while many in power demonize the poor. The murder gets protected with passive headlines and no charges. It's disgusting. Obviously, there's something wrong and inconsistent about this take because the real failure here, the real failure here is the criminal justice system in New York, which didn't do anything

Starting point is 00:05:57 about this person who has 42 prior arrests. Now, maybe he has some mental health problems. Maybe the underlying issue here is poverty. But look, for someone to be arrested and released 42 times, wouldn't you say that that's a problem? That's not compassion for Jordan Neely. That's not compassion to his victims. That's not compassion for the innocent people of New York. That is a broken criminal justice system. Does that sound like a criminal justice system in New York City that is militarizing itself, according to AOC, that is actually taking law enforcement seriously? No, that means that we have a very sick problem in the United States, especially in these major cities, with how we deal with crime, how we deal with those who need help.

Starting point is 00:06:43 Maybe he needed mental health help. But however he was treated, he did need to be separated from the rest of society. that he was not constantly harassing and assaulting innocent people so that they can't live their lives peacefully. Now, all that to say, does that mean that he deserved the death penalty from this person who put him in a chokehold? No, I'm not saying that. I'm not an advocate of vigilante justice. Now, if this was a case of self-defense, and we don't really know, I guarantee there's going to be more footage, more facts that come out here. But if he was a case, he was, he was a case, was really threatening violence. If he was putting this guy who put him in a chokehold or the

Starting point is 00:07:30 innocent people around him in imminent physical danger, then this wasn't vigilanteism. This was a form of self-defense. But citizens should never have to be put in the position to have to protect themselves and the people around them in this way when it's so clear that law enforcement and the system in New York City have failed. They have failed to actually protect their innocent they're innocent citizens from someone who is known to be a serial, violent criminal. Now, of pertaining to the charge of racism, that this was a lynching, that this happened because he was black and this white person was just looking to inflict violence upon a black person. There's obviously no evidence of that. And actually, if you, we'll put up, we'll put up a still.

Starting point is 00:08:22 I don't know if we can actually play the video because YouTube might, you know, give us a strike for that or they might say, no, you can't do that because it's violence. But we can put up a picture that we have, which is a screenshot of the video that shows all of the people who are holding him down. And what you'll see is that there is a variety of ethnicity going on here. You've got black people that are restraining him. You've got a white man that's restraining him. Like this is a multicultural effort to try to restrain this black man. And so, of course, because the media likes to stoke this kind of revision, they like the race wars, they like the racial resentment. The media really likes black people angry at white people. They really like to

Starting point is 00:09:07 stoke that kind of fear, that kind of suspicion of underlying and constant white supremacy. They will focus on the fact that there was a white man among the many people restraining him that put him in a chokehold. The fact of the matter is there were many people responsible for this. Again, I'm not defending the actions because I just don't know the proper contact and I don't think a disproportionate reaction to someone who is maybe just verbally harassing people is the right way to go. I am in favor of law enforcement actually doing something. But look, places like New York have become so chaotic and so violent. And I think people have kind of thrown up their hands in despair in a lot of ways because they don't actually trust the system to be

Starting point is 00:09:49 able to protect them from violence and from threats, that unfortunately you're going to see more situations like this. And the only person, the only people that are being demonized are the people who ended up assaulting and very sadly and tragically killing this guy. Again, I'm not saying that's right. But look, there are a lot of different factors that led up to this moment, that played into this. And like I said, you've got a bunch of protesters outside F train apparently saying, you know, this is so awful, we're protesting this. Yeah, it is awful that this guy died. But there have been multiple murders in the subway that these people did not protest. There have been other assaults, other terrible incidents that have happened, where people, similar to Jordan Neely, people probably with mental health issues, people on drugs, just criminals, violent people, pushing innocent people and children in front of trains, assaulting people, pulling knives out.

Starting point is 00:10:49 harassing people, intimidating people with violence. I mean, there's been all kinds of terrible incidents that have basically gone unchecked on the subway and no one was protesting for that. But again, this is just an opportunity for the left-wing media to stoke racial resentment and to stoke that kind of division and hatred that doesn't have to be there. It's not actually relevant to the story at all just to get people active, just to get people again to keep pushing this narrative that white supremacy is the problem, that white violence against black people is pervasive. It's not, it's not even common statistically. As we've said many

Starting point is 00:11:30 times, according to the Bureau of Justice statistics, it is much more likely for a white person to be killed by a black person than vice versa, despite black people only accounting for a small percentage of the population. Now, most violence is between white people and white people, black people and black people, Hispanic people and Hispanic people, intracial violence. But if you want to look at statistics, like if we're going to fearmonger and say that one kind of violence is a big pervasive problem, well, then we're going to have to actually look at the numbers and to see what's more statistically likely. White violence, white murder against a black person is not statistically likely at all comparatively. And so I just don't think it's helpful. I don't think

Starting point is 00:12:16 it's truthful. I don't think it's just or compassionate or wise to turn this in to a racial story. The only thing that does is divide and bring apart and bring down and it does nothing to edify. And it doesn't paint, it doesn't paint the whole picture. And actually it distracts us from the real problems that led to something like this, which is a lack of proper tools, mechanisms in place to be able to prevent crime, to protect innocent communities from people who commit crimes so that people don't go out and commit vigilante justice, which I think is bad and not something that is going to help society ultimately. The system in a lot of ways failed in this case. They failed Jordan Neely. They failed the people on the subway. They're failing the people of New York City. And only now

Starting point is 00:13:13 where people like AOC and others getting up in arms about what happened, well, there's a lot of things that could have happened over the years, over the course of his 42 to 44 arrest that could have prevented something like this. It's really sad. I mean, this is an image bearer of God. This is, it's sad that he died, especially that he died in this way. This is, this is something that we can mourn over without jumping on a narrative that is not truthful and is not righteous and is not compassionate. Hey, this is Steve Day. If you're listening to Allie, you already understand that the biggest issues facing our country aren't just political. They're moral, spiritual, and rooted in what we believe is true about God, humanity, and reality itself. On the Steve Day show, we take the news

Starting point is 00:14:00 of the day and tested against first principles, faith, truth, and objective reality. We don't just chase narratives and we don't offer false comfort. We ask the hard questions and follow the answers wherever they leave, even when it's unpopular. This is a show for people who want honesty over hype and clarity over chaos. If you're looking for commentary grounded in conviction and unwilling to lie to you about where we are or where we're headed, you can watch this D-Day show right here on Blaze TV or listen wherever you get podcasts. I hope you'll join us.

Starting point is 00:14:33 All right. Let's move on to Texas where there's other chaos going on. So Texas is considering Senate Bill 14 right now, which would prohibit doctors from providing so-called. This is according to the Dallas Morning News. this is the language they use, gender affirming treatments like puberty blockers. Now, if that is, there is no more Orwellian phrase than that, gender affirming treatments like puberty blockers. So you were stopping a natural process in the body in order to affirm someone's

Starting point is 00:15:07 gender. Try explaining that to someone from like 10 years ago. Puberty blockers in children, a natural, necessary process that the body that the mind has to go through for normal, healthy maturation. This is something that we are allowing to happen for children. And Dallas Morning News is calling it gender affirming. Look, if you're actually affirming someone's gender, you don't block their puberty to do that. But of course, they have a different definition of gender than sane people do. Gender apparently is something that you just come up with in your mind and not something that your body dictates at all. hormone therapy, they say, or surgery intended to transition the biological sex of any child

Starting point is 00:15:52 under the age of 18. All of this is nonsense. You can't transition your sex. Can't transition your gender either. Those words are actually interchangeable. You can't transition your biology. Nothing's going to change your gametes. Nothing's going to change your DNA. You can change different parts of your body to appear to be a certain way, but even then, it's usually not very successful, especially if you're a man trying to look like a woman. But here's what the bill says. Senate Bill 14 in the Texas state legislature, for the purpose of transitioning a child's biological sex, as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child's perception of the child's sex, if that perception is inconsistent with the child's biological sex, a physician or

Starting point is 00:16:41 health care provider may not knowingly perform a surgery that sterilizes the child, including castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy. I don't even know all these words. Medoidplasty, orchioctomy, panectomy, phalloplasty, and vaginoplasty, perform a mastectomy, provide prescribed administer or dispense any of the following prescription drugs that induce transient or permanent infertility, puberty suppression, or blocking prescription drugs to stop or delay normal puberty. doses of testosterone to females or like things that are that are not okay so supra physiologic

Starting point is 00:17:20 and that just means a level of testosterone that would not be normal in the female body you can't give that level of testosterone to a female or an undue dose of estrogen to a male and number four remove any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue duh duh you can't do that for children. I'm sorry. You can't give a minor double mastectomy because she's confused about her gender. She probably is on the autism spectrum. She probably is bipolar. She's probably been sexually assaulted. She probably has an eating disorder. She probably has body dysmorphia. You're not helping her by taking off healthy body parts because she says that she's the opposite sex. Address the underlying issues if you really care about anything other than lining your pockets. I mean, really, the state

Starting point is 00:18:10 state legislators shouldn't have to do this. They shouldn't have to do this. This should violate the Hippocratic oath. Do no harm. No doctors should be even willing to do this just ethically and morally. But because there are so many doctors who have given into this ideology, who are scared of the political pressure, they're scared of the left-wing activists, and because many of them just don't care. They just don't have any moral qualms with it because it makes them rich. And it's, it's, it even gives them virtue points at this point. They'll just go along with it. And so, yes, it is the role of the state to say, okay, doctors, you can't do this. You are going to be criminally liable if you butcher children. Of course. This is logical. Transgender rights activists

Starting point is 00:19:01 filled the gallery at the Texas Capitol where they were debating this and chanted, protect trans kids. such thing as a trans kid. Let me just say that. There's just this thing as a trans kid. There is a kid who may be confused about their gender or who has been told that they're confused about their gender, but there's no such thing as a trans kid. And we're here, we're queer, we won't

Starting point is 00:19:23 disappear to disrupt proceedings so the officers cleared the gallery of protesters. Here's what some of those beautiful protesters looked like. Protect trans kid. Passage. Transk! Get the f***.

Starting point is 00:19:50 Oh, man. There's a lot going on there. You know, they always look like that. I was trying to look up, do you remember in C.S. Lewis's Lion, the Witch in the Wardrobe, when he is describing the Witch's Army, he's describing Jadis's Army, and then he's describing Aslan's Army. And what they looked like, what Jadis's Army looked like compared to Aslan's Army, it always reminds me of these kinds of left-wing protesters who I'm not saying that they naturally are ugly people. I'm not even talking about their facial structure, their bone structure, anything like that. But how they have morphed themselves to look, how they have tattooed their body, pierced their body, changed their hair, the kind of

Starting point is 00:20:39 clothes that they wear, sometimes to look like the opposite sex or to look not like a normal human. It's so grotesque. Like it's so dark. It's so clearly demonic that every time I see them, I'm like, it reminds me of the ghouls and the goblins that are described by C.S. Lewis and the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. They don't only look like that, but they seem to be possessed in some way. And I don't call everyone who is evil demon possessed, because I think those are different categories. Now, we understand from Ephesians 2 that you are either under the authority of Satan, the print of the power of the air, or you have been bought by grace through faith in Christ. So you're either an enemy of God or a friend of God, whether you have been reconciled to God through Christ.

Starting point is 00:21:29 And so that is a reality. So I don't know if these people are actually demon possessed or if they are just evil. Like if they are just playing the part of the enemy's army. Either way, like there is a rabidity to these people. They are almost literally, like if you're watching that on YouTube, they're almost foaming at the mouth. And of course, when you just stop to consider what they are actually advocating for, they are angry that it is illegal, will be illegal, to butcher the body of a minor, to render them permanently sterile because they're confused about their gender.

Starting point is 00:22:07 Now, what they will say is that this is killing kids, this is causing suicide and kids when there is no, no objective data proving that. Actually, the best data that we have shows that most. kids grow out of any perceived confusion or real confusion that they might have about their gender after puberty and isn't that better like why would we want a kid to be confused about their gender and to maim their body and to pause puberty all the people who say that pausing puberty are going on cross-sex hormones or even just socially transitioning that it's harmless that is temporary that is not true you do not we don't even know all of the physical physiological

Starting point is 00:22:50 and psychological consequences that that has on a young person who is actually being forced to not mature in a normal way. And again, like, I will ask you, and you can look at some of the people that were protesting there. And like I would say that this probably applies to some of the people that you saw there. Again, I will ask what category of person? What kind of person benefits from or likes the idea of kids being trapped in perpetual adolescence by putting off their puberty. Because that's what happens. Like if you put off your puberty, okay, then your body does it grow, does it mature, does it form the same way that it would? If you went through that natural and good puberty process, you look like a child for much longer and you also think and act

Starting point is 00:23:44 like a child for much longer. Now, what kind of person likes that? What kind of person likes that delayed maturation? What kind of person likes the idea of there being masses of children who don't go through puberty? What kind of person likes prepubescent children and likes to talk about all of the procedures and all of the things that have to do with their genital, uh, genitalia and sexuality and identity. It's not a coincidence that we keep seeing some overlap there, right? So Texas legislators stay strong. You are unequivocally, objectively, objectively on the right side of this. You are on the side of truth. You are on the side of justice. You are on the side of beauty. You are on the side of goodness, period. In no world

Starting point is 00:24:35 should this be legal. So it's sad that we even need. Again, legislation on this. And the people on the other side of this issue are diluted. They are completely. completely and totally diluted and depraved, its Romans one made manifest. And to just prove again that this crossover that we tend to see between absolute sexual perversion and this kind of identity madness is not coincidental. That is actually very consistent and persistent. We'll move on to our next story, which is in the state of Minnesota. All right, let's look at the state of Minnesota. So on Thursday, April 27th, Minnesota Governor Tim Wall signed legislation, the Transfuge Act that makes the state a haven for those seeking abortions or gender, quote,

Starting point is 00:25:35 unquote, transitions. It also allows for the courts to seize emergency custody over a child if he slash she is prevented from receiving quote unquote gender affirming care. So, I mean, this really just builds off of the conversation that we had on Tuesday. with the woman who was trying to adopt in the state of Oregon, and she was told, sorry, you can't unless you say that one day you will go along with cross-ex hormones and puberty blockers for a potential child that you adopt. So it's more important to make sure that kids are orphans. It's more important that, or rather I would say, it's more important to these liberal states that these children are able to mutilate their bodies than it is for them to have a safe

Starting point is 00:26:22 and secure home. They would rather than be orphans than to stay in a home that doesn't agree with the maiming of bodies of kids who say that they're confused. It's really, really sick. And again, like, I just want to ask, how can a Christian vote Democrat? How can you? Even if you're like, yeah, but guns. Yeah, but immigration. Yeah, but welfare. I'm sorry, these things are too stark. The position on gender that the Democrat Party has. The position on a abortion that the Democrat Party has. That's it. No, there's nothing that you can tell me that would justify a Christian voting for this party. Now, you might say, you know what, I can't vote for Republicans either, or I just can't vote. Okay, like, I can tolerate those positions. I don't agree with you

Starting point is 00:27:11 necessarily, but okay, that's fine. Or you want to vote third party, or you want to write in. Okay, we can have that discussion. I think that's a reasonable discussion and debate to have. again that's not the path I go down but I get that I do not understand how a Christian can vote Democrat there is no justification for it you are perpetuating this kind of sickness and depravity and Satan is cheering every step of the way so let's go this is not even the worst of this this is not even the worst of this before this bill was signed the law recognized only abandonment and abuses grounds for a court taking custody of a child but this bill as a third category the has been unable to obtain gender affirming health. You hear that parents in the state of

Starting point is 00:27:55 Minnesota. If you decide that you don't want your child to go on puberty blockers because they decided on their anime obsessed subreddit that they were the opposite sex, then you get your child taken away from you and they go into the system where they will receive all of these body mutilating hormones and surgeries and who will be there holding their hand when they figure out that they've made a huge mistake and that they no longer want to live, it won't be you, parent. It'll actually be no one because the state doesn't care about them. These social workers don't care about them. These doctors don't care about them. They just want the money. They just want the accolades. They just want the activism points. They don't care

Starting point is 00:28:42 about your child. If their child goes through this is permanently sterile. If your child goes through this and wants to commit suicide, they won't shed a tear. It's evil. You can't. You You can't vote for these people. You can't. Okay, but here's a part of this. The proposed pedophilia protection that is a part of this. The Minnesota State Legislature is also considering a proposed bill that makes updates to the current Minnesota Human Rights Act legitimizing pedophilia. So the current Human Rights Act protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation defined as having or being perceived as having an emotional physical or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or having or being perceived

Starting point is 00:29:19 is having an orientation for such attachment or having or being perceived as having a self-image or identity not traditionally associated with one's biological maleness or femalness. The current law also includes the caveat sexual orientation does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult. So it's basically saying, look, we're talking about all different kinds of sexual orientations, however many you want to say that there is, but we are not talking about pedophilia. That's what the current Minnesota Human Rights Act says. But the Take Pride Act says. But the Take Pride Act was authored by rep Lee Fink, who is a man who thinks he's a woman and identifies as a woman. He proposed this bill that creates a new separate definition for gender identity.

Starting point is 00:30:02 Gender identity means a person's inherent sense of being a man, woman, both or neither. A person's gender identity may or may not correspond to their assigned sex at birth or their primary, secondary sex characteristics. A person's gender identity is not necessarily visible to the others. So it's saying you can't be discriminated against because you're a man who thinks that he's a woman in a variety of contacts in the state of Minnesota. That's problematic enough. That's problematic enough because you should be able to say, sorry, we're a domestic abuse shelter. You man that thinks that you're a woman, you're not going to be allowed in here.

Starting point is 00:30:34 That should absolutely be legal. But that's not even the most troubling part of this. Also in his bill, he proposes removing the clause in the Minnesota Human Rights Act that says, sexual orientation does not include physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult. You hear that? So he's removing that. He's saying, yes, that actually is a sexual orientation and adult being attracted to a child that should be protected under human rights law. This so-called transgender representative in the state of Minnesota.

Starting point is 00:31:10 He defended the measure to Fox News and said that the measure updates outdated language that incorrectly ties pedophilion. to a person's sexual orientation, which is not true. Nothing to the bill changes or weakens any crimes against children of the state's ability, he says, to prosecute those who break the law. Of course, pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, Fink says. The language never should have been included in the statutory definition. In the first place, crimes against children are located in Minnesota's criminal statutes. They remain on, they remain unchanged.

Starting point is 00:31:38 But of course, this is a cover. Why would he touch this? Why would he say anything about this at all? why would he want to remove this? This just makes it explicitly clear that pedophilia is not a sexual orientation that is protected. And he wants to remove that. I think that that's a story. If he didn't want any suspicion of creepiness or predation, he shouldn't have said anything about that.

Starting point is 00:32:05 By the way, Lee Fink was named one of USA Today's, 2023 Women of the Year in March. We'll put up a picture of Sweet Lee. So that's what's happening. That's what's happening in the state of Minnesota. But there is some good news. There's some good news that's going on. Okay. So some good news.

Starting point is 00:32:39 Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, Indiana, and Idaho are among the most recent states to pass laws that ban these harmful gender procedures on minors and protect sex-specific spaces. Yes and amen. Another reason not to be confused about like which party is at least more in line with righteousness and truth. Not completely. Neither one ever will be, but it's really not hard, guys. Like, it's not that complicated. So on Monday, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into loss and a bill 613 banning so-called gender affirming care for minors with the possibility of a felony charge for

Starting point is 00:33:14 health care professionals who provide it. Bam. Effective immediately, the ban prohibits surgeries, puberty blocking medication, and hormone treatments for those under the age of 18. Praise God. Also, Also last week, Kansas legislators enacted what the AP calls to the most sweeping transgender bathroom law in the U.S. by overriding Democratic Governor Laura Kelly's veto with a two-thirds majority. The law will take effect July 1st. SB 180 legally defines male and female based on the sex assigned at birth.

Starting point is 00:33:43 I hate that language, but I get what they're trying to do. Assigned a birth and protect separate spaces based on the sex of an individual. The law specifically names athletics prisons or other detention facilities domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, locker rooms, restrooms, and other areas where biology, safety, or privacy are implicated. I'm sorry, a man doesn't want to go into a rape crisis center for any innocuous reason. You just don't. We have to be able to protect those places. You know, those women are getting raped in prisons in Washington and California because of the gender identity laws there. Those vulnerable, helpless women are being raped and sometimes impregnated

Starting point is 00:34:21 by these violent men who suddenly identify as women and get moved to the women's prison. Yes, it is the job of the state to protect those women. Absolutely. And for all of you, oh, social justice advocates, criminal justice advocates, what about those women? Do you care about them? Stop voting Democrat then. The law says there are important governmental objectives to protecting the health, safety, and privacy of individuals in such circumstances.

Starting point is 00:34:46 Yes and amen. Two weeks ago, North Dakota governor, Doug Bergam signed house. Bill 1254 into law preventing so-called gender affirming procedures for minors in early April, Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb signed Senate bill for 80 into law and Idaho Governor Brad Little enacted House Bill 71, both banning gender transition procedures for minors. Yes and amen. Good. That's great. I am very thankful for that. And you know what? Don't think that your voice doesn't matter. I know things look dark. I know they look depraved. I know they look helpless. But don't think that your social media posts, that your truthful conversation, that you're a sermon pastor,

Starting point is 00:35:24 that you're standing for truth, that you're attending or speaking at your school board meeting or every single step that you take in the way of what is good and right and true doesn't matter. Don't think that. Don't be misled into thinking that your voice, even if you feel like you're only influencing a small circle of people, doesn't count it does. It is one brick that is placed in the path to what is good, right, and just. and true. You don't know what flap of the butterfly wing you are, but you do know that you are called as a Christian to simply do the next right thing, say the next true thing. That's all we can

Starting point is 00:36:01 ever do in private and in public. It matters. It matters. All right. I just want to talk about one last story. It's silly, but it's important. And speaking of like our voices having an impact and like having to say, I do think that our voices could have a say when it comes to Anthropology's decision to be really stupid and to go along with this radical, crazy, insane agenda that says that men can be women. So here is the latest post on Anthropology's Instagram page as of yesterday. Okay, I want to, first, I want to show, like, if we can show a still of this man's back, but you're right there, right there.

Starting point is 00:37:19 Let me just show you the person that they decided was going to be the model for these dresses. He cannot even zip up the dress in the back. So if you are listening to this, he, this is a man and he is modeling some of Anthropology's clothes. I don't know if he got paid for this. or if he just posted it and they reposted it. Either way, they thought, okay, this person is a good model for our clothes. This is a man. He's apparently a ballerina. Incredible dancer. It's nothing about that.

Starting point is 00:37:47 I mean, this is very impressive, the little like number that he just did. You know, he could probably be a male model and all that good stuff. It's not about that. It's not about him not being handsome or anything. It's about the fact that he is a man. And he is wearing women's clothes for a women's clothing line. And one of the dresses that he puts on to model, he cannot zip up in the back. If you're listening to this, we did a still of his back. He can't zip up this flapper dress because it is not made. It is not made for men. It's not because he's overweight.

Starting point is 00:38:23 It's not because the dress is too small of a size. It is because he is a man. And the dimensions of a man's chest and shoulders are going to be very different from that of a woman's. and so he can't zip it up. And here's my question to you, anthropology. How often, how often do you choose a female model to model clothing that they cannot fit? Would you put a woman on display who was wearing a dress

Starting point is 00:38:54 that they could not zip up? Would you put that on your Instagram? Would you put that on your website? A model wearing clothes that she clearly couldn't zip up or couldn't button on the side that was clearly too small for her because it wasn't made for her? No, you wouldn't make that kind of exception for a woman. You only make that kind of exception for a man,

Starting point is 00:39:11 which shows me actually that you elevate the position of this man wearing women's clothes more than you do a woman wearing women's clothes. And some people are still asking the question, why would anthropology, why would a clothing line like this do this? Don't they know their audience? I mean, they really do. Anthropology has a very large, I would say, like conservative Christian audience, for whatever reason, not audience, but clientele, customer base.

Starting point is 00:39:39 And I have been shopping at anthropology at least for 15 years. They've taken a lot of my money over the years. And not that I thought that they were conservative or aligned with my values in any way. I just thought that they made very unique and beautiful clothes for women that I have bought many, many times over the years. And of course, I still love their clothes and the variety that they offer. But now they're telling me that they think that men can be women or that it's okay for men to cross-dress. That's their value.

Starting point is 00:40:11 And they don't care, by the way. They don't care what I say. They don't care what you say. They don't care about our money. They don't care about losing your business. It's the same thing that Bud Light did. They're trying to change your values. They actually hate your values, Christian Conservative.

Starting point is 00:40:25 They hate what you think. They actually probably don't even really want your business or they think that they don't want your business. So it's not really that confusing to me anymore. These companies, Nike, all of these companies. They care more about their ESG score. They care more about their score from the human rights campaign. They care more about being called inclusive, tolerant, diverse, pro-LGBQ, gender fluid, diverse, whatever, more than they do, their bottom line. So I still think it's important for us to make our voice known.

Starting point is 00:41:05 They shut off comments. Of course, they shut off comments on their Instagram post because they can't take the heat. They post something like that that they know is going to be controversial. And then they're mad when it stirs up controversy. And then it gives them the opportunity to be the victim and to say, oh my goodness, here we are, the martyrs. Laying down on the altar of inclusion and tolerance when really, no. You just joined in the movement of female erasure. You think men and women are interchangeable.

Starting point is 00:41:37 You actually think that men in some cases apparently make better women than actual women do. It's not about selling their dresses. Obviously, we're not looking at that dress and thinking, oh, yeah, I could see what that would look like on me. And also, when he's spinning around, you see, it's freaking dingling. No one wants to see that on Anthropology's page. It's weird. Again, this guy is an incredible dancer. you know, very handsome man.

Starting point is 00:42:01 He could be a male model. It's not about that. He's a man, though. He shouldn't be wearing women's clothing. He shouldn't be wearing it on Anthropology's Instagram page. They shouldn't be potforming that. It's an insult. It's gross.

Starting point is 00:42:14 Stop anthropology. Do better. Do better. All right. That's all we've got time for today. Lots of other things to talk about that we're going to put off until next week. I was in at San Jose State this week. speaking to a group there for a Leadership Institute and Turning Point USA.

Starting point is 00:42:45 And lots of wonderful students showed up and we had an amazing dialogue. There were some disagreeing students that I really appreciated. I appreciated their questions. I'll talk more about that. Actually, one of them sent me a rude and sassy message after. I was like, what the heck, dude? We had a civil exchange and now you're just annoying. And then we had some protesters outside the event saying things like, how do you spell

Starting point is 00:43:06 murder TPSA? you guys are literally protesting for the dismemberment of babies but okay remember hearts of stone brains of mush and there's no real condemnation that comes from us because we've all been there too right like that is where all of us would be we would all be that confused and not depraved and not chaotic if it weren't for christ and so yes there's anger and i think that there is righteous judgment that goes towards those people but there's also a lot of like there's a lot of compassion they're like sheep with without a shepherd. They're people who are totally diluted in their minds, hearts of stone, brains of much we should pray for them, but we should also be completely unashamed and totally strong

Starting point is 00:43:47 and sharing truth to them without fear. All right, that's all we've got time for today. We will see you back here on Monday. Hey, this is Steve Day. If you're listening to Allie, you already understand that the biggest issues facing our country aren't just political. They're moral, spiritual, and rooted in what we believe is true about God, humanity, and reality itself. On the Steve Day show, the news of the day and tested against first principles, faith, truth, and objective reality. We don't just chase narratives and we don't offer false comfort. We ask the hard questions and follow the answers wherever they leave, even when it's unpopular. This is a show for people who want honesty over hype and clarity over chaos.

Starting point is 00:44:29 If you're looking for commentary grounded in conviction and unwilling to lie to you about where we are or where we're headed, you can watch this D-Day show right here on Blaze TV or listen wherever you get podcasts. I hope you'll join us.
