I think Matt Walsh is a self-promoting prancer and ignorant as hell about transgender people.

That being said, I think it's generally accepted that we live in an era of prolonged adolescence. I'm guessing it's a consequence of living in an age when so many basic needs are taken as given. Prolonged immaturity has fewer consequences than it would have had throughout most of history.

I have believed for some time that there is no intrinsic reason for people not to be ready for marriage by the time nature makes them ready, e.g. by the age of 14. Obviously, most people in Western culture aren't psychologically ready for marriage at this age; but I think this is a function of nurture, not nature.

Many believe that there are benefits to postponing the formation of a family -- education, starting a career, etc. -- but these are not values inscribed in stone; they are subjective.

Years ago, a high school education really meant something. If we ever return to those days, it will be possible to complete the same course of study by age 14, if students attend school year-round. I think making people ready for self-support and marriage by 14 would be a good thing. Of course, I don't think it will ever happen -- not without some violent social upheaval.
