To everyone in the comments saying my pronunciation of "blåhaj" was another mistake -- it was NOT. I know how to correctly pronounce it, but I intentionally pronounced it like "blah-hadge" because I think that's much funnier. So if you got a problem with that...come at me, ya Swedish speakers!! Square up, let's go!

I'm from sweden and I actually found that funny to. The pronunciation "technically" isn't wrong. Because you say the word with english pronunciation not swedish pronunciation. Its like how swedish people said Nev Jorck instead of New York when people started to move to USA under 1800.

Ok, so I hate correcting people (I have bad self confidence and imposter syndrome so I consider how harsh criticism affects me before I dole any corrections out to someone who has perhaps made a minor mistake), but in this case I'm doing it to give you a bit of vindication. So you made a "correction" about whether or not venom can be ingested. I recommend checking out the SciShow video entitled "Poisonous Plants, Venomous Animals and Toxic Organisms | A Deadly Compilation". They address this very concept at around the 20:20 mark of the video. The gist of it is that while venom and poison are ultimately defined by the manner in which they enter the body and cause disruption, both are still toxins. The question becomes whether various venoms are orally toxic and at what levels. Scientifically speaking most venoms have not been tested for oral toxicity, but some research in a few fields like pest control have found some venoms to be similarly toxic when ingested orally such as with certain insects ingesting spider venom. The whole video is interesting but that segment, which is the last in the video, is particularly poignant to what you talk about here...So take that naysayers! 😊 Love your videos ❤ Happy Holidays hun 😊

Adding onto the first mistake, with the blue whale and what exactly the definition of a 'predator' is, even ignoring that broad definition, I'd argue that a blue whale still meets your criteria of being a predator, in that it does engage in specific hunting behaviors. Blue whales don't filter feed by just swimming around at random and hoping krill get stuck in their baleen and sucking them down as a result. They intentionally seek out krill patches and clouds, circling around them until they find the densest areas that aren't currently being preyed on by other whales, and then will swim into the patch of krill in such a way to make sure that they're getting the most possible in the least number of runs, to avoid wasting excess energy.

Honestly, I have no problem with trans individuals whatsoever, but I kinda wish there was a way to the opinions of clownfish from their perspective and I will do my best to explain why. If you were to take, for example, an octopus and look at its intelligence, you may find that they are relatively quite intelligent. So much so, in fact, that if they lived past mating and laying eggs to teach their young, they might have become just as intelligent as humans. Unfortunately, in reality, every interaction between two octopi is very dangerous, and mating usually results in death. So, despite their intelligence, their viewpoints, perspectives and beliefs would be completely different alien to ours, not to mention their biology. So what is going on in the minds of non human beings?

She's a major inspiration to me. On the topic of plate tectonics and women scientists who don't get enough credit: Tanya Atwater. She linked what was happening with mid-ocean ridges and subduction around the Pacific plate with the geology of North America, proving that plate tectonics could explain major trends at sea AND on land. Awesome work as always, Octopus Lady! Sincerely, A Ne'er-do-well geologist. Citation: Atwater, Tanya (1970).

Honest question: if being trans is innate, please help me understand what you mean by "recently discovered". If it's innate did you always feel a certain way, that there was something bubbling underneath, but you couldn't put your finger on it, or did you come to this conclusion later in life?

@@jasondashney it's mostly as you described it. It isn't a universal experience, but most trans people feel as if something's "misplaced" or "not quite right" in their life, what changes the most between person to person is how severe this feeling gets, to many leading even to strong depression, while for others numbness or or indifference towards life, with a few not even feeling like something's wrong at all. Another thing that changes A LOT is the age people realize that those feelings generate from having a body and being seen as something they are not. There are some who finds out they're trans in their 20ies, while some even above the age of 40, while some people even realize it in their early childhood, such as 5 or 6. There is basically no trend or most likely age. That's also why trans health care accessibility to people of all ages is such an important topic. And realizing it is no easy thing. People who do it in their early childhood don't have many problems on this side, but for some people it takes A LOT of time to come to terms with everything and to connect all the dots. It took me 4 years. The past 2 months have been WILD So yeah, in my opinion gender identity is something innate, but society is pretty good at making you think you are what it believes you are. That's why "heteronormativity" sucks and why representation is important and a lot of similar things.

@@jasondashneytrans person here, I can share my experience with you as well! For me, I always had this ‘rebellion’ against feminine/marketed as “for girls” items, especially dresses and skirts. They always made me feel so gross, and I assumed it was simply apart of my sensory issues only. I was an extremely dense kid, and grew up sheltered, so I had simply thought “oh I’m a tomboy,” and that was that. Until puberty, when everything was horrible, and made me feel even worse. When I finally discovered (and fully digested) the concept of being trans, it was like it all clicked. I was 14 or so, and in a relationship with a person who was very unhealthy for me (my age, thankfully), so I was forced to closet myself in one place I always felt safe. I had told him “it’s fine if I’m gender fluid, I totally identify as a girl sometimes,” but when asked pronouns, it was always “he, they, he” and wanting to be seen as masculine. I still have moments where I go “no wonder I hated [stereotypically girl] thing, and it made me irrationally uncomfortable to talk about.” For example, if my grandparents call my backpack a “purse,” I get snippy and correct them. It’s like an immediate souring of my mood. That being said, I do enjoy “feminine” things, as long as I’m not being perceived as feminine for enjoying it. Toys/clothes shouldn’t have genders, and I wish I had the chances kids nowadays do with being able to play with whatever toy I wanted, or having the ninja turtle boy’s underwear. Also girl clothes suck, they cost more for less fabric, and it’s especially creepy that they make them more “form fitting” than boys clothes.

I think it arises from the basic human need to feel safe in their social group. If a person is denying basic reality to your face, like your gender identity, then they are obviously not safe to be around in the same way someone who denies it if you feel hungry isn't safe. Humans are social animals so we are entirely dependent on social groups for survival so anything that could indicate that a group doesn't respect your basic humanity is an obvious threat to your survival. A pretty good comparison would be if an immigrant identified as part of their new country but someone else denied their ethnic identity, what's obviously happening is that their claim to being part of a group is being denied and thus all the benefits and protections of said group.

This! This is part of why I really enjoy watching your videos and enjoy your channel! Not only do you admit when you don't fully know or understand something, you go back and correct your mistakes and explain in an easy to understand way! And you make it fun!

This is such a heartwarming video. The whole point of science is to revise mistakes when we develop new understanding-so this is point one million on how your hugely entertaining and informative channel embodies the spirit of science AND acceptance. Thank you for your work to shine a light in an often dark world. ❤

I think the hardest thing about coming out is learning that the stereotypes you grew up on are so far off the mark that you feel like you can only do things a certain way or else your "faking it". The amount of harassment and shit I took when I still looked extremely feminine but said I was trans was insane, not to mention when people thought I "wasn't trans anymore/lying about being trans the whole time" when I planned my pregnancy. It took me nearly a decade to realize I didn't need to prioritize medical transitioning and that I didn't fall into traditional masculine roles. For so long I was trying to prove to the world that I was a man that I did things I was never comfortable doing. It wasn't until I had my son and started my medical and legal transition that I truly thought about if this was what I needed. It's a horrifying discovery to make after taking hormones for a few years, changing your name and getting surgeries scheduled to realize "is this right for me?". I'm still coming to terms with just how fluid mine or anyone else's gender can be and how you don't have to put yourself in a category to be trans. But if I told my doctor or therapist this, I'm scared they could possibly take away my gender dysphoria and transgendered person diagnosis. Anyway, I'm learning what not to do raising my toddler and he constantly reminds me that "you're the best daddy in the whole wide world", so I'm gonna take this as incredible self-progress!

As someone who is agender, learning about gender identity is very interesting because i litteraly can't connect my identity with this concept. I do understand it in theory but i can't relate to it. Which is Always funny when you realise that they are people who are pangender and both of us are queer. It's Always impressive when you realise how wide the non-binary spectrum is. It's a very good video! We hope that you will a great day.

Cheers Octopus Lady, love your work! I'm glad you mentioned non-binary folks when talking about psychological gender, as my experience leads me to resist focusing too much on its supposed innateness (though I recognise how important this is to many people, and I understand why its politically important). I chose to exhibit some outward femininity and think of myself as not entirely male for many reasons, some of which are internal, some of which are not. If the standard for gender non-conformity was being 'sure' I wasn't a man, I probably wouldn't qualify and I think that's sad. I have a friend who has recently started identifying as bisexual (we're both in our 30s) and he has described a similar thing with his sexuality. For those who could be happy either way, telling them 'if you were, you would know' can discourage exploration and keep non-binary and bisexual people in the closet because it's just easier. Choice was a big part of both of our journeys and I'd like to think that the queer community has room for people like us.

When I was young and an agricultural major, we well as how conversations within that community used the terminology; grazers ate grasses and tended to be somewhat selective towards softer vegetation, browsers would eat brush and sturdier plants. Neither would naturally kill the plants, but over use due to confines like fences would create a situation where the land couldn’t keep up. Goats are often classed as browsers and used to clear dense brush in place of machinery or alongside machinery. Often in a vast over simplification the example of co-housing sheep and goats is given: sheep graze on the grass and soft plants, goats eat the remaining woodier plants.
