And recently your words have gotten you in trouble with— Gavin McInnes: Yes. I’m in trouble now. TN: —your career. Can we talk a little bit about this? So you wrote an article about transgender for Thought Catalog. GM: That’s correct. TN: And then what has been—what—tell me a little bit about the article, ‘cause I couldn’t read it. GM: Okay, so, in that kind of ‘short hair is rape’ kind of dialogue, stand up comedy dialogue— TN: Yeah. GM: —not kidding, but very caustic and unforgiving language. TN: Extremist, and— GM: —extremist. I said ‘let’s cut the shit. It is fucking weird having a sex change.’ And, I said, ‘by the way, you college kids with your mascara on, think you’re transgendered, you’re just a gay dude.’ Or you’re not even gay. You’re just going through a gay phase. You’re a LUG—we used to call ‘em lesbians until graduation. Uh— TN: I went to Sarah Lawrence, I know all about that. GM: Oh, it was a rug-munching festival. And all those girls now are married with a kid and wearing a sweater vest going “what the fuck was that about?” But today they just grow their hair long and—guys grow their hair long, girls cut their hair short and they go “I’m—I’m not a gender”. Okay, sorry but biology exists. So my article made fun of them, said ‘we’re all freaked out by sex changes’, threw in the brutal suicide rate these guys have when they do it, and also brought up this, uh, hormone blockers that kids are being given now, because it’s assumed they’re in the wrong body. And there’s a Canadian doctor who refuses to do it anymore, and actually—is it John Hopkins?—John Hopkins Hospital has stopped doing the operation ‘cause they’ve noticed they tend to be worse off. And with the kids it’s especially egregious ‘cause I don’t think a kid knows sexuality, uh, at the age of nine. And this doctor, this Canadian doctor goes “I’ve seen this happen countless times, they go through the surgery and they realize ‘oh wait, I’m gay. I’m a gay dude.’” So in the article I was saying—look, the dick you’re going to get stinks. Probably literally. It looks like a cheese blintz, it doesn’t look like a cock. Strap-ons are fucking amazing these days. Most of sex is cerebral; just have someone suck your strap-on. You can have your tits removed, I guess, uh—and by the way, when you write these articles, you’re not a lawmaker. So, you’re just saying “hey, I think that a fake dick looks stupid, just use a strap-on.” Or if you are a guy and you feel like a woman, fuckin’ get some tits and get fucked in the ass and put a wig on, have a great time—grow your hair, use real hair. Enjoy being gay. And a lot of feminists feel this way, like, you can’t just put a dress on and go to a women’s rape crisis center and go “hey ladies, sorry I’m late”. You’re not a fuckin’ woman. I’m sorry. It’s not something you can procure. And that’s my opinion, and there’s lots of data to back it up but this is the cause du jour, today. So the shit hit the fan, I mean, I always have about fifteen spinning plates—all the plates flew off the sticks and crashed to the floor. My company I think is shut down, that’s fifteen jobs. I was working on a show that got shut down, that’s thirty jobs. You know, millions of dollars. And I can afford it, but—I just, fuck, I’ll never forget when we were, we were shooting this movie that’s shut down, and the sound guy was like fifty years old, and we’re in Georgia, and he’s packing his milk crate with his boom and his mics and stuff, and I’m seeing him put it—watching him put it into the back of his truck, and he doesn’t even know what a ‘tranny’ is. A tranny is a transmission to him. And I always think of his face and just think “you fucking poor bastard”. What an insane world we live in, where you can’t work at an ad agency who makes commercials because someone at the agency has opinions about sex changes that don’t comply with yours. So now the agency can’t work?
