Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] What if this memetic structure which encourages transition instead of being something that is intrinsically toxic is actually a social technology that evolved to treat the increased nihilism and bupacidality caused by the urban monoculture.
Simone Collins: I like that
Malcolm Collins: as a premise spicy. So how could it do this? When you transition, you are basically abandoning an identity, your current identity, and then building a new one.
Simone Collins: You're literally killing it. Actually. For example, dead naming people is dead naming them that person is dead to them
Malcolm Collins: What is most disturbing is that after a year on blockers, a significant increase was found in the first item.

As I've said before in the show I think that there's the historic trans movement. And now there's the new trans movement, which contains some elements that are more like a religion than like a traditional gender ideology movement. Now the second thing I wanted to talk about, which I find really interesting is a recent Emil Kierkegaard, I know, [00:02:00] thought criminal piece that was talking about something that everyone basically knows, but I thought he did a pretty good job of summarizing it and laying out the stats again, which is that trans people are much more likely to be high IQ than other individuals.
Simone Collins: And this isn't
Malcolm Collins: like a small thing. In fact, the difference between trans people and the general population is higher than the difference between Ashkenazi Jews in the general population.
Simone Collins: Wow.
Malcolm Collins: About a standard deviation, higher IQ than the general population. That
Simone Collins: doesn't surprise me because you're looking at
