Hank, I think we're past calling this a culture war. This Trump administration is immediately performing cruel acts towards marginalized people and the groundwork is being laid to do more harm.
There's rhetoric and then there's action. We're seeing the later *today.*
If you step away to rally and recenter, I think that's wise and good.
Clear, accurate science is your stated goal. You've updated other episodes in the past to stay apace with current knowlege. I hope that you update the HRT episode too.
Misinformation kills. That's why these women are so angry.
Well, all that is what needs to change. That's what's wrong with not only this country but a lot of the world.
Some rich old parts wanna control everything.
It needs to stop!
I’m more worried about trans people no longer protected in state facilities like prisons. I work in a state psych ward and I’m afraid for my trans patients.
I’m worried for them already just out in public. Never mind I know some fools that can’t tell a muscular woman from a trans person and will assault them for thinking they’re trans. That’s how deeply this country has decided to hate trans people.
Agree. I’m just sad because this will hurt biological non gender conforming people and trans people. I know trans people and I’m glad I’m in CA but it doesn’t help us all the time we still have a holes here.
Not a dig on you at all. I like your posts. But I found it interesting to observe how the word "biological" has become so synonymous with "cisgender" that it ends up in places where it doesn't make sense. Trans people are also biological people. All people are biological as far as I know.
Republicans have turned trans people into a singular symbol of, and an anger focus for, everything and every one to the left of themselves. I'd say we're not even people to them, but at the federal level we don't exist any more.
It’s by design. They’re quite literally following a lot of what was laid out by the heritage foundation in Project 2025. The end goal is to match biblical values to family and marriage limiting equity programs across the board.
I look like my brothers. Annoyingly so and I have broad shoulders and weight lift. Plus we all see what some of these guys say to women like Ilona Maher.
For anyone else reading this, Hank isn't really the person to ask about taking down the SciShow video on HRT - he's not the CEO of the company behind it anymore
(I do think it should be removed, but the calls to do so shouldn't be based on a misconception - I apologize for perpetuating it myself)
That's true, but that doesn't mean he has as much editorial control as he did when he was CEO or when he founded the channel; to my understanding he pretty intentionally has less power than he used to.
This is a video with dangerous and false information, as well as deeply transmisogynistic language. Even if he does have less power, he has a responsibility to pass on critiques to the people who do have editorial control. Instead, there's been 7 months of radio silence from him AND Scishow.
Well you do have a platform you can use to help in this fight and it would be more than welcome. Lots of topics to cover from a positive understanding of the effects of hrt in sports to 'trans panic defense' laws. Lots of trans people willing to help navigate these conversations if you invite them!
In that interest, maybe I've missed a post by you or sci show, but your hrt video contains a lot of information that many trans people view has harmful and/or incorrect info, and I was wondering if you had any plans to comment on these claims, either clarifying that you are indeed correct and why
these other claims are wrong, or by releasing a video apologizing for the spread of misinformation, something I believe you are very vocal about being an issue.
To simplify it, their info for trans women was the issue.
They used a source that they misinterpreted and presented a lot of outdated information.
Some big ones are finesteride as a testosterone blocker, suggesting spiro is the ideal for estrogen when in reality it is suboptimal
My parents are struggling so immensely due to the healthcare system in this country.. here is a link to their gofundme if anyone would be willing to share or support in any way.. https://gofund.me/dba1dab3
It's difficult to take you seriously when you've actively ignored criticism of this viciously transmisogynistic video on your SciShow channel. Virtually every claim made about transfeminine hormones ranges from inaccurate to false to outright dangerous.
And such a waste of time, energy, resources and human life. We could be working on fixing the issues we really have. Not the issues created by ignorance and bigotry.
IMPORTANT: I used to work for a specialty pharmacy and everything had to match for insurance to work - id, prescription, your name in our system, your name in your ins system, and the name the doctor wrote on the RX. This caused issues with trans PTs in the past. If they are unable to match their...
legal documents, they will not be able to get their meds. And specialty pharmacy meds are mostly for very expensive/rare/deadly/etc conditions. This is worrying.
Better lace up. You have more legitimacy and authority than the DNC to most young people. You have better grassroots, communications, organizing, transparency, backlog of intention and earnest, genuine love of mankind than 90+% of politicians. Go watch West Wing and be a statesman
We had a strange confrontation recently, having dinner with some old friends while visiting the US.. They were very worried about schools enanbling kids to change gender. We couldn't believe it.. But they were absolutely convinced that this was going on.
Then, my daughter got a bit pissed...
... And told them that she has a trans sister-in-law. And that this lady's struggle had absolutely nothing to do with school, but a deep-seated personal identity.
This is so sad. Do you have any resources, new sources, etc from other countries that are reliable so we can keep sharing correct information while they erase it in the US? Or even US resources that we can save before they erase history, gender, etc…
Can we please stop using their terms? "culture war" is often times used to dismiss what is happening as trivial. This is an attack on trans people and trans rights.
Equal rights have never been easy to establish or keep. You, and we, are here (like John says); And we’ll be here BECAUSE we are here - for those who cannot speak or advocate for themselves, in solidarity with those who can and do, for the future - we are here.
In what way is it important for identification? For healthcare, that's true, but that's between you and your doctor. There's no good reason the government needs to know what genitals you were born with other than a line on your birth certificate. And I'd even be ok with being able to change that
Probably the best solution is trans women getting prisons just for them. Abused trans women being forced out of shelters and into general population shelters would be my suggestion.
For healthcare, knowing sex assigned at birth can be essential (depending on what they're treating you for). But on identification? The only reason a woman named Jessica should have an "M" on her identification is if you actively want to endanger her.
It’s literally not even about us. We’re just pawns in their ploy to control ALL women’s bodies. It’s hard to control someone by gender if you can’t control people’s gender. This way when they make things bad enough that women will lie about their gender to get out from the boot. They’re stuck.
Not only about us. But yeah, I'm gonna say that the transphobic persecution is mostly about us. Sad that you think we're so unimportant that we should be considered an afterthought even in our own oppression.
My guess is it's a way of strengthening the cohesion of their supporter crowd.
Invent an enemy; make it an enemy common to everyone in the crowd; collectively take down that enemy. Crowd feels good, powerful. Righteous. Attributes that feeling to leader. Leader profits.
We are such a small portion of the population that even if perfectly organized we still wouldn’t have much impact in voting, striking or even fighting. Indifference I get. To go after such a small group can only be for ulterior motives.
You gonna start listening to trans people, Hank? Or are you going to continue to ignore them and keep that HRT misinformation up? I think I know what I'm putting my money on.
I'm a cisgender heterosexual ekidna from Sochshew Island Mobius, I luckily identify with the gender assigned to me at birth, but not everyone does, people shouldn't be forced into a category that they don't identify with, let people be who they are- Magnus
Beyond the absurdity of it, even as an attempt at legislating morality, it's simply impossible. Attempts to tie gender as a social construct to biological sex, shows they have 0 understanding of the sociology or science of either.
What was the misinformation? What group of people was it about? Which kinds of trans people were allowed to participate in the video, and which were excluded? What bias/prejudice could cause such exclusion and misinformation and justify ignoring its effects since? (The answer is transmisogyny)
The scishow hrt video from last year. It's full of dangerous misinformation and out of date/inaccurate nonsense about transfeminine HRT, and they didn't consult any transfems while making it. They even joke in the video about how they didn't consult us when talking about us.
To add some context since I was blocked by the original commenter: I'm a trans woman, and I wholly support being critical of and calling out mistakes even from people you admire. I just think it's important to perform due diligence before accepting a surprising claim without accompanying evidence
This video seems to be a fairly good critique of the SciShow video if you're truly worried about amplifying dangerous signals. I disagree with some of the stronger claims here, personally, after consulting primary sources, but good critique nonetheless. https://youtu.be/mnhgEtl2HfM?si=GA48rmS1OkbTSFtm
Namely, the reporter critiquing the video claims that anti-androgen only therapy for NB patients is dangerous misinformation due to bone density loss. This is a real concern, but the approach is supported by the primary source with the caveat that levels are closely monitored to avoid density loss.
They don’t want the government to decide Hank, they want a panel of conservative men who serve as church leaders to conduct genital exams of all the children. Because we have to protect the kids.
That is true, but the majority (slight majority) of births are male, at about 105:100 unless there is some cultural intervention, like we have seen in China and the Middle East.
Presumably, that is nature compensating for the likelihood that males are less likely to survive than females.
This really isn’t difficult. Simple science. If you were born with male genitalia - use the men’s spaces. If you were born with women’s genitalia- use the women’s spaces.
no what's weird is that they have already been able to decide that a cluster of cells is more human than the fully formed human they are inside of-so much so that the fully formed human should be allowed to die in the name of those cells.
Not to themselves, or each other, or those who care about them as people.
To the wider populace, who are affected not at all by trans people, but who have been given the scent of blood to focus on, the anti-trans bullshit *is* a distraction.
Yes, indeed. Anti trans or anti migrant or anti human of any group is only done to hide massive upward migration of our dollars financially. It's done to fool us into arguing over stuff that doesn't affect us over stuff that matters like us living indoors
It is, and simultaneously has the effect of destroying that population. See the anti-semitism, and anti-Asian American rhetoric from WWI/WWII as our leading example of what happens.
It's a distraction in the same way a grenade is a distraction. Sure it's tossed to keep people scrambling around so they don't see the bigger picture happening in the moment, but if you don't deal with it, it still explodes and kills people.
as a trans woman i think its both, gender deviance directly opposes western society’s worldview so those in power who fear that demonize trans ppl in order to turn our neighbors against us and isolate us while also using it as a distraction from other issues that affect all of us
Unfortunately very little of this is new. We've been warned and warned and had history to learn from time and time again... but that's part of why attacking education is so important to them, too.
I mean... actually they sort of do get to, that's the whole point of "assigned gender". You can't ignore oppression away. If the government didn't have this power there wouldn't even be transgender people, because we would all be choosing our gender
But if it weren’t first assigned, how would you be able to tell that you were truly the one choosing it? Because then it could be influenced or manipulated by any number of things— as is just about everything else in life.
Okay, so we got Anschluss-Phantasies, Expansionist-Phantasies, Pressing-Minority-Phantasies, Military-Buildup-Phantasies and Musk doing the Nazi Salute. I‘m curious for day two.
1. Sex ≠ gender. These are two different concepts describing different phenomena
2. Biological sex is multivariate and more accurately described as bimodal
even weirder that you're nominally supportive of trans people, but refuse to issue a correction for the scishow episode that was woefully misinformed about feminizing hrt
He has been saying for months that he literally doesn’t. He handed over the reigns after his cancer journey. He has said so many times for months that he’s no longer involved, not all of a sudden because of a controversy.
Across several of his Vlogbrothers videos and Dear Hank and John podcast where he discusses how Cancer has reframed the amount of stress and work he should take on.
He has also talked about the choice to move away from Complexly because he didn’t want the company to suffer the founder problem.
Whether you’re speaking about gender or sex (which is what I presume you meant), that’s not even remotely true. I get that you lot aren’t the biggest on science or facts, but this is easily discoverable info. Even outside if trans people, there are millions of people who do not fit into the binary.
2/2. It is a naturally occurring human condition, among many on the continuum of genetic events. Words like choice, morality, and agenda do not apply. Treatment is appropriate, if desired.
Stop. Stop giving them engagement. This is what happened with Twitter. Block and ignore them. They do not care. No argument you give will ever matter or change any minds. They are here to hurt people for attention. Just. Stop. Giving. Them. Attention.
So allowing governments to dictate society leads to genocides and pogoms and human rights violations ending in bloody and destructive revolutions. This is why when the government tells you what gender you are you ƁŮŘŇÎŦÐØẄŊ.
many have said this, but if you want to do something that would ACTUALLY be in support of the trans community instead of ineffectual and reductive posting...take down your misinformation about trans HRT :3
I know things are extra hard now for the cis-het-white men...but you can do it!! :)
SciShow made a post about what they got wrong, why they initially left the video up, and the conversations that made them decide to take it down and do better. I hope that helps with things.
What are these shots being fired at "cis het white men". I mean calling out a group of people cause you don't like them makes you just as bad. Not all "cis het white men" are musk / tate / trump lovers. We gotta work together for change and that includes not attacking each other on the left.
This is the same argument people who say "not all men" about movements supporting those who have been sexually assaulted. The problem is not that every man is dangerous. The problem is that it is always a man. Same here - the cishet white men are more likely to be and most often at fault.
So you acknowledge that it's not always but it is a majority which is a fair statement. But then I deserve to be excluded from groups or discussions I support and fight for because I was born a cis white het male? We shouldn't be excluding any group, makes us no better than those on the right.
It took Hitler around 50 days to Retool Weimar's Government into the Reich.
Your statement might be true now, but our laws are like ice rn. My trans feet don't feel as confident as you do that this will hold up my weight much longer.
But society can, and the government should be a reflection of a society's needs. A small fringe group of reckless individuals who have not matured past their hormonal stages of puberty are not a reflection of the whole picture.
An individual gets to decide their own gender.
Here's why:
* Gender is a social construct: It's about how someone feels internally and how they express themselves to the world, not just biological factors.
* Self-identification is key: A person's own understanding of their gender
Not sure I’m allowed to say this as a millennial but Hank Green is based.
Did I use that right?
Anyway you’re correct and I love that the party of small government is now telling us all what we are allowed to do and be, but they’re do enjoy their hypocrisy.
bro did you for real take down a post because trans people correctly pointed out that the SciShow on HRT is full of flaws and that fixing them would be a good first piece of work?
Yeah, certainly feels that way though doesn’t it? Especially with over 50% of America screaming it with him. It’s. Dehumanizing we want to pretend we are evolved beyond violence but this, is a lynching call wrapped in the flag. And we’re responding with posters and social media….
For a political party that touts personal liberty and freedom they love to tell you how to exercise that liberty and freedom. Only their way - of course.
Hey man just wanna echo the many trans voices that are asking you to take down/exit that scishow episode, as there is a lot of misinformation regarding HRT. Its a really positive thing when allies take responsibility and listen to the people they're trying to support, ya know?
"they claim that having to go through this system in the UK is not transphobia, just a failure of the system." this quote from the article you linked is key.
hank has flawed views on systemic issues like this.
he regularly gives a "the system is good, just bad actors" type view.
the system is bad
Yeah but for those of us with vaginas the government does get to say what happens to us if and when we get pregnant, and that's terrifying for a lot of folks.
The government doesn't have to decide what is a family neither.
But,Project 2025:"Families comprised of a MARRIED mother, father,&THEIR children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society.
So no LGBTQ+equity nor single-mom etc.
fellon trump is a dangerous idiot& ignorant, !
The "tolerant left" was a nickname further liberals used for centrist dems and Republicans used to make fun of the left. Also read the tolerance paradox. Can't tolerate intolerance because that in itself allows it. "If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people join him there's 11 Nazis."
Maybe you are trying to say I hate Republicans? Or maybe them saying destroy maga means to hurt or disparage Republicans? If either no because I don't have those feelings for Republicans or Muslims. I believe all people have the right to exist and be themselves and this hatred needs to end.
Yes but only recognizing "male or female assigned at birth" has huge implications for things like health care, protections for employees, and so much more.
They can't make a person "no longer trans or nonbinary" but they can force the LAW to see you that way.
@hankgreen.bsky.social, have you listened to the NPR Embedded podcast series “Tested”? If not I think you should give it a listen. It’s a historical and contemporary look at sex testing in Olympic level sports. It’s both educational and horrifying. Wild to see how persistent debunked things are.
Well, I’m pretty sure our oligarchy government disagrees with you on this subject. So with as weird as it may be, it doesn’t change the fact that this is where we are as a country now.
As someone who actually believes in liberty above practically everything in government I can’t even say I am libertarian because that party doesn’t value liberty.
A libertarian is someone who is pissed that they are required to pay to play the game that already has dealt them a winning hand.
Read:
Sorry excuse for an "independent voter"
Modern libertarianism seems to be all about "I got mine, so screw everyone who doesn't" along with wanting "small government" when it comes to limiting corporations' ability to abuse their employees, customers, and the environment. It doesn't extend to your or my bedroom.
Not in the states it's not lmao. American libertarianism is astrology for old white men. They serve no purpose other than to be uneducated contrarians.
I’m non binary and thought about updating my id with an X, but I’ve been to scared to for exactly this reason. I know who I am, and I don’t like that the govt does not believe people like me exist.
"In any case, the genetic variants identified so far in candidate genes may represent preliminary data for further studies that will help to better understand how genetic factors may impact an individuals tendency to manifest gender dysphoria"
Attempts to ban appropriate care for transgender people (including children) are not science based and directly contradict recommendations by the medical, scientific, and psychiatric communities. Use of inappropriately applied concepts like "only two sexes" are deliberate attempts to deny humanity.
2/2. Replicability increases the likelihood of accuracy. There may, however, be more than 1 mechanism, possibly as yet unidentified. This accounts for words like "may."
1/2. It seems you are concerned by words that appear nonspecific to you. I think I understand your point - why am I so certain despite words like "could" and "may?" Because having been identified to be presented in multiple studies, the several alleles associated with transgender are replicable.
Thank you, Hank! Because even if a person is not Trans, but biologically intersex. What happens to those folks?
What happens if a woman or man doesn’t *look* like whatever some rando believes a man or woman should *look* like?
This opens up a whole can of worms. I’m none of those & I’m terrified.
It's a catch-22-- the government spends time debating things that have nothing to with governing, while we're expected to work harder just to keep up with rising costs. Where's the example we're supposed to follow?
Hank, I respect your intellect, but goddamn you are deeply in denial about what's about to happen to humanity. Trump will help Putin spread fascism to Europe. Humanity will do nothing about the Climate Crisis. Climate migrants will entrench fascist regimes. We all die when the planet does. Fin.
Hank.... man..... you gotta at least edit that video. You don't even have to get rid of it entirely, just edit the ridiculously wrong stuff out. Hell, hand over the files, there's like 40 trans girls in your replies who could re-edit it in like 20 mins and this could be done.
yah... Not even counting the fact that there are people like me who they'd include in that statement that are intersex and literally biologically do not fit cleanly into the categories of male or female this shit is Terrifying
I thought of intersex first when I heard about this “decree” today. Not everyone is born clearly male or female, and this is a biological fact. You have a right to exist and be yourself.
Sounds like they're just going to use whatever they picked for your birth certificate, whether that was appropriate or not. This is going to hurt a lot of people, I think our intersex friends maybe most of all. Virtual hugs if that's ok, internet stranger.
X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner’s )

XY – Most common form of male
XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people
XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births
As *a people*, we’ve always been here and we’ll always be here. But as *people* we’re still dying en masse. Thank you for using your platform in this way. (Although some folks are concerned about your scishow HRT vid.. maybe revisit that?)
Do you mean doctors who have been working for decades?
Doctors in what?
Or do you mean decades of research in biology?
If the latter then you should check out the most recent research.

Read "Bitch" by Lucy Clarke about this.
I think i will claim my power back by doing whatever they ask of me in terms of "legal" gender/sex and live my truth. And help with affirming care however I can.
I thought that exact same thing at the time. Why even say that or why does he even care what genders people identify as? At the time we were doing impressions of Trump declaring that there were also only 3 flavours of ice cream now…
They will very well try, but trans people have always been here and always will be here. I'll outlive trump, that's for sure, and I'll be happy while I do it. We're not going anywhere.

We're real and we're here. What exactly are we supposed to do with ourselves?
If you're suggesting different tactics for the same cause, that's still the same war.
(I do think it should be removed, but the calls to do so shouldn't be based on a misconception - I apologize for perpetuating it myself)
I've not done deep dives on the biology or science of hrt, in part because i've found it hard to find reliable information about it among the noise
They used a source that they misinterpreted and presented a lot of outdated information.
Some big ones are finesteride as a testosterone blocker, suggesting spiro is the ideal for estrogen when in reality it is suboptimal
sorry, that’s probably too wild to ask, sorry if i overstepped sir, i’ll go back to fighting or whatever
Liberalism has failed, Hank. Look to your left and start listening.
Also take down the HRT video if you wanna minimise harm for fuck’s sake!
what happened to my GOAT 😞
So, in the extremely unlikely case that someone read this and judged me for it;
There is a detailed explanation on why I still appreciated the video:
https://bsky.app/profile/haefey.bsky.social/post/3lge2kzdn5c2o
This has been an ongoing fight for the past 10 plus years, esp in the UK.
The stuff today was being discussed and talked about at the start of it. I was there. I can find the receipts.
It's BEEN a long fight.
Then, my daughter got a bit pissed...
We left quite quickly after that...
We stopped calling “Winter Break” “Christmas Break” and so now we all must suffer
Sex is your identity that had given by nature.
Even if we tried to move on and change our identity, nature always give you a slap with the identity that you were born with...
Not only about us. But yeah, I'm gonna say that the transphobic persecution is mostly about us. Sad that you think we're so unimportant that we should be considered an afterthought even in our own oppression.
It just seems like so much effort has been spent on oppressing so few people.
Maybe I’m just trying to make sense of it when it doesn’t make sense.
Invent an enemy; make it an enemy common to everyone in the crowd; collectively take down that enemy. Crowd feels good, powerful. Righteous. Attributes that feeling to leader. Leader profits.
In trying to “codify” personhood at conception it defines a person’s sex as being that at conception!
EVERY human zygote is female at conception!
Trump just made all Americans females or trans males officially in the sight of the US Government!
Moron!
https://youtu.be/mnhgEtl2HfM?si=GA48rmS1OkbTSFtm
//“Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.//
Because all foetuses start out female, and gender doesn't resolve until about week 9, so now everyone is female?
Neither gender is determined AT conception.
They just accidentally temporarily abolished AGAB.
Presumably, that is nature compensating for the likelihood that males are less likely to survive than females.
