New Will Ferrell Movie on "Trans" Friend, and Attempts to Normalize the Topic, with Kellie-Jay Keen

so now mainstreamed is will frell and I'm so sad about this because who doesn't love will frell he's a comedian he's spent his whole life trying to make us laugh and he's very good at it yeah and so now on Netflix no less I mean this very popular platform that all of our kids have access to most of our kids so he's releasing a movie of himself and his lifelong or at least 20 plus years best friend whose name is Andrew but now he's going by Harper because he's quote transitioned to female again that's impossible it's not a thing and here's a little uh so from the movie trailer let's watch it hi there I'm will frell one of the greatest actors in the world a long time ago back when I was at Satur Night Live I met a guy who was hired as a writer the same week I was hired he wrote a bunch of sketches for me and eventually became the head writer of SNL and over the years he became one of my closest friends and then one day I got this email hey Will something I need you to know I'll be transitioning to live as a woman I don't doubt that will is my friend but I'm not Andrew steel anymore oh my Lord it was just oh D whoo that is a wo and so now this is is going to be all over Amazon and celebrated as they do among other things go to this man's high school and sit down with a bunch of young teenagers and talk about uh you know his alleged transition and how wonderful it is including um their gender affirming health care and so on I I don't know what they're going to discuss but is this appropriate for Netflix is it appr possibly I think it might I I think it actually might do more damage to the cause to be quite honest Megan I I I think um will frell's really good at Prestige so maybe this is just an extension of that and I wonder if he's done something very wrong in the eyes of the uh so-called trans community and this is his punishment yeah I just I just wonder if he said something off color and then they've said you hate us we're going to that often happens doesn't it when some celebrity comes out because he's been very silent on this issue and it's very funny like if I were a comedian this would be the main topic of nearly everything I discuss because it's Preposterous and it's it's so nuts that I think it's almost difficult to joke about I've tried to do jokes before about um and Prestige sort of pieces about what would I if I were a mother of a kid and I was trying to transition them and nothing you say can be too far because there are women that have already said it there's there's people whove already done it who've talked about having a a three-year-old who's trans so I I I just I wonder if Will if Will is in trouble somehow but this man what won't be discussed is how his wife felt about it how his children felt about it the coercive control that often goes along with it um and all the really dangerous stuff but hopefully this will show up this will show it up for what it is which is a a really pentious uh self- indulged uh self-indulgent um ideology certainly show you mean so here's a write up from GQ uh this Andrew who now goes by Harper it was is 63 said he was trans as of 2022 at age 61 and the GQ writes that though steel that's his last name had known her it's so confusing thank God you open my eyes on the trans on the pronouns I can't even do it now I'm I'm in fact I meant to mention to my team when you cut and paste these articles please put the right pronoun in there because I can't my brain can't even process it anymore um though steel this man steel Andrew steel had known her transition was a long time coming it was frequently interrupted by therapists uninterested in guiding her to embrace that kind of change she says uh it leads frell to ask about breast surgery and whether she has struggled with body dysmorphia every time I've done something for myself it's been guns blazing says steel another day she remembers the depressive thoughts that made her scared to keep a gun in the house after her transition though quote all I wanted to do was live she says you know what's so bad about this is they're not they're not going to trans or to discuss and out all of the trans kids so-called who only had body dysmorphia or parents going through a divorce or who just didn't enjoy puberty who got swept into this cult and wound up suicidal or almost suicidal and and certainly did not feel all I want to was live after they had their body parts cut off it's just so revisionist isn't it because most of these men claim once they once they've watched enough of um persuasive content should we call it once they've watched enough of that and they decide that they see themselves as a woman which I don't even believe it all this language that they use I don't believe that any man looks in the mirror when he's when he grows his hair or puts on a wig and genuinely sees a woman I think what he's really doing is he wants you to pretend you see a woman but I don't think he thinks for a minute that you think you see a woman and I don't think that he thinks he sees a woman and so it's all manipulation and uh sort of coercive control of everybody around him and so I I just think all of the language around it is is just bogus and it's all meant us meant for us to play the game and they know that that's what the purpose is so I don't think he this idea about I lived he's how can I put it politely he's arised by the fact that he's convincing people to pretend they see something that they don't aroused by it I think so oh well I mean there's there's an overwhelming odds there are overwhelming odds that that's true right that he's an autophile who gets off on dressing like a woman yeah and this so often this does start with oh I'm just a crossdresser you know I just occasionally like to put on women's clothes and then you know with a year it's I'm getting the surgery I'm taking all the hormones all these women who married these guys not knowing this wind up devastated the children totally devastated yeah we're going to talk about a case like that that's in the news right now but something you said reminded me of a new term that's come out trans misogyny yeah so that you and I would be considered trans misogynists yes for not accepting that Andrew is Harper and a woman yeah look I'm happy I'll go with Uber trans misogynist if it means I can just speak the truth I just don't I just I Uber I I just don't care anymore I just think fine okay I'm like it's a madeup word it makes absolutely no sense it's a way to silence women and we are we are both the most likely to go along with it with this kind of uh insincere empathy because I don't believe that women are really sort of have empathy for these men either I think it's I think women are supposed to be exploited yeah I think we're supposed to be seen to be kind and seen to be um um empathic but I don't think we really are I just think that women think that they have to be seen to be doing it um so yeah I've had a few epiphanies over the last year of actually no women aren't kind we just have to be seen to be kind um but yeah when it comes to trans misogyny like what a it's just a big joke fine let them let them call us trans misogynist great you're still men right you can't be it's not that is not a thing no why is it so many white liberal rich women pushing this nonsense on us well like I I think it's not kindness It's really not kindness but like if you truly would um had empathy for other humans you wouldn't choose the 60-year-old blowen address over a 13-year-old girl having privacy and dignity in a toilet but you would if it paid off you would pretend that you have more empathy for that man if it gave you some sort of payoff and the payoff is that people then think that you are a kind person whereas you're not a kind person and I think we need to sort of teach our daughters that actually you can be honest you don't you you don't really gain anything you certainly don't gain any Integrity or self-worth by pretending that you you see something or you believe in something that you really don't and actually if you just stand firm on what you believe eventually that will give you more self-respect and that will also give you more respect from other people so I think these these white rich women I think that's that's all about look how lovely I am it's sort of um it's our
