YouTube has deleted an episode of Candace Owen’s podcast where she and her guest argued that there are only two genders.
The story: Owens and the Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles, who was her guest for the episode, both complained about YouTube’s decision on Twitter. Owens slammed YouTube, claiming that she and Knowles spoke “basic truth” and rejected the idea that their arguments amount to “hate speech.”
In his tweet, Knowles indicated that Big Tech censorship will get worse once Joe Biden officially becomes the president of the U.S.
YouTube removed an entire episode of the Candace Owens show because we said that men are not women, and women are not men.
I honestly cannot even believe how absolutely batshit woke you have to be to believe basic truth to be “hate speech”. @YouTube, you are outrageous. https://t.co/DUfmrwVaii

The episode was uploaded on the platform more than a year ago. The podcast aired on July 14, 2019, and featured Owens and Knowles discussing gender identity, sex, and pronouns. Both of them stated they do not recognize any other genders that female and male and also pushed back against transgenderism.
“What the left wants to do is break down structure, and what it creates is mass confusion. And I genuinely believe that mass confusion, and when you have a society that does not have structure, that leads directly to depression,” Owens said.
She further asserted that she doesn’t “play that game” of using preferred pronouns for people.
“What I always say to people is ‘if you have a mental disorder, that’s fine. I don’t need to come up to you and tell you that you have a mental disorder, that would be rude.’ But when you have a mental disorder and you’re now requiring that I have a mental disorder to meet your mental disorder, that doesn’t work for me,” she added.
Knowles said that people who do not accept the notion that males and females are intrinsically different are denying “objective reality.”

YouTube’s statement: “We rigorously enforce this policy, which prohibits claims that LGBTQ+ individuals are mentally diseased based on their sexual orientation or gender identity,” a spokesperson said of the decision to remove the video.
Worth noting: Owens recently came under fire for slamming the cover of Vogue Magazine that featured British pop star Harry Styles in a Gucci gown.
There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence.
It is an outright attack.Bring back manly men. https://t.co/sY4IJF7VkK

She later doubled down.
PSA: Mining pictures on the internet of men in dresses is not going to suddenly make me attracted to men in dresses.
I’m impervious to woke culture. Showing me 50 examples of something won’t make it any less stupid.#BringBackManlyMen https://t.co/7NKrrGiZSf

I’m sure Candace was right on and not harming or disrespecting anyone. To my knowledge, 99% of the time, there are only two genders at birth, a male or a female. The rest of the story is what you choose to be and that’s who you are. Your choice, you be whatever or whomever you choose, it’s simple. People have become unhinged with all this ridiculousness! Everyone, just go live your life and enjoy it and stop the chaos. Personally, I cannot wait for this nightmare ride of PC to end.
Women always wanted to be equal to or above men; well, now they can be – there are no men. All we have now are a bunch of wimpy, whiny, flaky people with a penis that want to be women! Well, that should cut down on abortions since these people don’t even know what a penis is for (except maybe to pee out of)!
