Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets was interviewed by radio megastar Joe Rogan about the risks of empowering young people with transgender ideology.
Rogan emphasized how impressionable kids can be, to the point where the profitable transgender medical industry can take advantage of them. The radio host recalled how a dentist he knew had told him about another physician who “gets $70,000 every time specializing in gender transition procedures.”
Rodgers remarked, “I don’t know why they’re just so hell-bent on going after the kids.”
Rodgers said “there’s big money in it” when Rogan suggested money was a factor.

Rogan remarked, “I believe it’s money, and it is also waving the flag of woke.”
Rodgers advised leaving the kids alone.
New York Times opinion pieces sparked debate because they contained accounts of transgender people trying to change their practices and experts warning against imposing sex reassignment procedures on young people.
Rogan added, “Yet the f—- New York Times wrote a big story about detransitioners,” adding that “their lives are ruined, their bodies are destroyed, they can’t have children nowadays,” “they lost their breasts, the loss of their penis, it’s in-f—-g-sanity.”
Rogan also made reference to a video in which someone went around interviewing people while asking them bait-and-switch questions like, “Do you think it’s okay to encourage young people to move… to Catholicism?” When they realized the question was about urging spiritual transformation and not transgender procedures, Rogan recalled how different “blue-haired” people would quickly switch from affirmation to condemnation.

“Do you think 12 years old is too young to get a tattoo?” they asked. “They were doing the same thing with tattoos. They were like, ‘Yeah, they don’t know any better,'” Rogan said, adding that a 12-year-old could switch genders, according to the interviewee.
Rogan argued that it is “the same sort of religious-like thinking that exists in all kinds of groups of people that we call cults,” saying, “It’s just ideology, man.”
In an earlier meeting, Rogan credited writer and psychologist Jordan B. Peterson with foreseeing this issue and noted that as college students entered the workforce, their “ideologically based culture that’s gonna change the world in its lines” became widespread.
