Trans activist upset by Dax Shepard’s inquiry on teens’ changing perspectives.

Trans activist Jonathan Van Ness breaks down in tears during podcast discussion ​on trans ideology

In a recent episode of Dax Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair⁤ Expert,” Jonathan Van Ness, a prominent trans activist, became⁣ emotional when Shepard questioned the logic of pushing trans ideology on vulnerable teens who may change their minds later.

The conversation arose while ‌they were ‌discussing whether The New York ⁢Times was truly⁤ left-leaning, as Van​ Ness ‌believed the outlet had published some​ “anti-trans” articles. Shepard argued that these articles were ​merely posing ⁤questions and challenging extreme stances, such ‍as allowing teenagers to undergo irreversible puberty blockers.

“How do⁤ we know that the ⁣person’s not gonna change their mind?” Shepard asked, expressing discomfort with the idea of teenagers transitioning. “To be critical or to question it⁢ doesn’t ⁤make you an enemy. I don’t ⁣think that’s the ‍way forward,”⁣ he added.

Van Ness, who identifies as a “non-binary” trans person and ⁣demands the⁣ use of they/them pronouns, responded, “I feel like I’m talking ⁣to my dad.” They emphasized the prevalence of misinformation ‌and disinformation surrounding the anti-trans backlash.

Later in ‌the conversation,⁤ Van Ness clarified that they were not ‌calling Shepard a transphobe but highlighted the existence of transphobic ideologies and beliefs that can be unknowingly held. Shepard reassured Van Ness of his support for trans rights and apologized for unintentionally starting a debate.

Van Ness became overwhelmed with emotion⁢ and tearfully expressed their wish for people to be as passionate about⁤ inclusivity for children as they are about fairness in women’s sports. ⁤They emphasized that holding transphobic ⁢beliefs doesn’t necessarily make someone a ‌bad person.
