d they say, "Wow yeah it does look like Sweden is a mystery. They didn't lock down and they got the same result or better." All right. I just saw a comment that's making my brain explode but I'm not gonna go there. All right, let's talk about something else. So fact checkers, check me on that Sweden death thing. Elon Musk continues to be the most interesting of the billionaires, maybe just the m…

All right. But when I was commenting about the story Stephen Crowder replied to me on Twitter. So I don't know how banned he was if he's already replying to me on Twitter the same day that I heard the story. So I don't know if he's back or I got the story wrong. Did he get banned from a different platform? Can somebody clear that up? Did he get banned and he's back on already or did he get banned from a different... Oh it's a 12-hour ban. 12-hour suspension. That makes sense. All right, 12-hour suspension. Let's go with that because that sounds right anyway.
And as I have told you my new theme is that if somebody gets banned or censored, let's say if they get censored, I'm going to send them some money for being censored. So I want to make it, and I know a lot of people are on the same page, that individually you might buy his shirt or his mug from his store. I tweeted the address of his store. And to you it's 10 bucks but basically you're just voting for freedom of speech. It's a 10 vote to support freedom of speech whenever you see one of these situations happen.
So buy Stephen Crowder's stuff. I want to say while I'm at it that I do not agree with all of the things Stephen Crowder says. Doesn't matter. That's not what we're here to talk about, right?
And I'll tell you just so I'm on record with it, I'm not a fan of his argument that there are two genders. I know you hate it. Here's my argument. The two gender thing is a social construct based largely on biology. I mean it's not just invented out of nothing. It's based on observation and biology and stuff like that. But it's a convenience. Society categorizes things for convenience and it is convenient and useful to have two genders because then you just have two bathrooms and you can keep rapists away from women and there are lots of good reasons that we narrow it down to two. But it's social reasons.
I think a more productive way to look at people is that there are 7.5 billion people, rounded off whatever it is, and they're all different. Every one of them is just different. They're different sexually. They're different mentally, different physically, different health-wise. We're just all different. That's the healthiest way to look at the world. It's not two genders except for convenience.
Now if you argue should we keep it to two genders because we can't afford to have like a bathroom for every option, I would say that's a conversation. That's reasonable. You can reasonably say ye

ah I get that everybody's different but we can't have a different bathroom for every person etc. I would like my own bathroom. I'd like to be my own gender so I could not have to share a bathroom when I go to the mall. It's just my own bathroom. People like me, whatever I am. So the only thing I would put in your head is that while it's perfectly reasonable, perfectly reasonable to argue that you…
