22:10 HOLY CRAP! I actually have a... semi-man-hating cat. ALWAYS hisses at men, but then ALWAYS rubs against them IF they speak in a sad voice (ie: "Oh no, why did you hiss at me? I didn't do anything to you") ... never bites or scratches, but will hiss again if males touch him too much - you can circumvent that again with a sad voice, and he'll start rubbing against you apologetically. LMAO, I only ever tested him on one (VERY passing) trans woman, and he didn't hiss. I wish I could test my cat just for fun... just don't wanna upset some trans people if my cat ... "misgenders" them, LMAO There must be other people with man-hating and/or women-hating pets? Maybe do a reaction to them??? LOL

MY GENDER IS PANTS

One time I was wearing shorts with no pockets, so my phone was in my waistband. Someone said "your gender is what's in your pants" so I pulled my phone out and said "voila, my gender" 😈.

So basically, gender is pants, and pants are glitter. Idk where I got that from but it works in my brain

Pants all the way down.

PANTCEPTION.

So is there like a fifteen-minute window where it's okay? (yes, I know that transphobes won't allow any such window. Which is why we're kicking in the door.) On another note, for transphobes and homophobes who say "people are too young to know", get a friend they don't know you know to ask them about their first crush and how old they were. I think you'll find that they admit that they knew their gender and orientation at a young age. Then watch them dance as they try to explain how straight cis people can know who they are but LGBT people can't.

Or how about moms that say 'oh my friend has a boy your age' and you're like 'mom for the 5th time, I have a girlfriend'@@philopharynx7910

They just don’t want people to be trans. They’ll come up with as many loopholes and hoops to jump through in order for people to be considered “actually trans”, because they just don’t want people to be trans

Reminds me of the: "Trans women who went through male puberty can't participate in women's sports it's unfair" Meanwhile when a kid wants to go on hormone blockers: "They're too dangerous for you"

They set up a whole ton of stupid guidelines and loopholes for them to consider someone “really trans”, but in reality, they just don’t want people to be trans.

For real. Like ah yes, discrimination, hateful laws and bigotry, so easy. /s

Actually, I kind of *know* it is, because it’s why I continue to go by feminine pronouns instead of switching to neutral ones when both sets feel equally right for me.

Because in their tinfoil addled minds, we're secretly running the world. Actually, I kind of want to live in that world.

It only makes sense if everything is flipped on its head. Up is down, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Though that's the kind of world transphobes live in.

For real, if life was a Game Being Trans would basically be like a character thats DLC exclusive and also changes the game to nightmare difficulty.

absolutely. I wondered if I might be lesbian since I just did not get why and how my peers were simping over boys, actors, singers... But I did not find that same vibe they seemd to get from girls either. And yes, wondering to being annoyed about the big fuss most movies are making about the whole heterosexual couples and love thing. I simply really never got "sexy". Nice aesthetic, sure, but the same way animals/nature can be beautiful. Only in my 30 did I learn about asexuality. I 100% related. Like, wow, I finally have a term for my experience, and so many people having had similar ones. Explains so much.

Aces used to be considered a subset of bisexuals until we got our own designation. I've found I can relate to a lot of bi culture, just not the dating or crushes.

@@FrozEnbyWolf150 did not know that. But I totally see how the "I don't care about the gender" is similar. Just without the "sexy" bits in it.

i thought i was just bisexual for a long time until i asked myself the question whether i’d rather kiss a boy or a girl, and while my response was both equally, i really just mostly wanted to hold their hand. biromantic asexuality where you just want a romantic relationship (no sexual relations) with either gender was how it ended up being for me, so the beginning of the video felt really validating when they kept their biromantic heart lol

This is a great response. But also, we've been using singular "they" longer than we've been using singular "you" - if you have the spoons to deal out some linguistic damage

@@manaash4316 Wait, that's brilliant! I'm not a native English speaker and I had no idea, I assume it's not a well known thing, but I'll sure look it up. It's open season for BS and my chamber will be full of linguistic facts!

@@SylvesterLazarus Second-person pronouns in English used to follow a pattern very much like what still exists in French -- a familiar singular second-person, and then one that's plural but also doubles as formal/respectful. We just mostly stopped using thee/thou over the centuries and now just use the plural/formal one. (There are subtleties to "you" vs "thou" that I won't say I have a complete sense of; "thou" could be dismissive or insulting in some contexts. It's funny that, since it's now an archaic term, "thou" tends to sound _fancier_ to contemporary English speakers even though it was originally the opposite.)

@@SylvesterLazarus it's not a very well known thing, even among English speakers. ☺️ Most of us don't really consider how much English has changed even in just the past couple hundred years! It's just my favorite fact to whip out at people who complain that it's incorrect.

@@manaash4316 Personally my English stops functioning properly somewhere around Edgar Allan Poe, both in vocabulary and just in general, but I'll remember this piece of info!

The “right” to oppress and erase others.

"Being a bigot is a basic human right" says a lot about how they view humanity. Very pitiful.

States rights to do what?

When it's not in the context of the U.S. Civil War moderate conservatives sometimes actually do mean what they think they mean when talking about states' rights (as in classic small government with ulterior motives being secondary), but yes

Not the same at all, no. States in a federation losing their individuality to the centralized power is a form of disenfranchisement. It has nothing to do with a person gaining rights they have been previously denied.

as someone who is aromantic, asexual, and agender and nonbinary... yeah this is pretty much exactly how it went for me too. i assumed that lack of feeling was normal. i didn't even realize i didn't have those feelings at all because i just wasn't thinking about it. i sort of assumed that once i hit a certain age i'd start feeling those feelings too. it took me years before i realized that 1. other people actually *felt* real feelings in those areas and it WASN'T made up, and had felt them most of their lives, and 2. the idea that "i don't know if i've ever felt those things before because i don't know what they feel like, how am i supposed to tell" was actually itself a sign i'd never felt those feelings before the fact i didn't start 'noticing' others the way a lot of allos do, or get any inclination to do anything physical with anyone the fact i had no idea what a romantic crush felt like and had to try to force myself to have one, which big surprise didn't work the fact i felt absolutely no connection at all to the gender i was "supposed" to have, and was shocked when others said they did it is very, *very* easy to gloss over those things and that lack of feeling and just assume you're allocishet by default if you don't put in the conscious work to examine your orientation, attraction, and identity. it can completely fly under the radar if you're not specifically looking for it

Let's go, Comrades! 😁(I'm not cishet but definitely Left, and I welcome my cishet brethren)

I’ve found it to be quite easy, in a sense English is “lucky” in that it has a pre-existing grammatical way of being gender neutral (the transphobes that think it’s ungrammatical can go argue with Shakespeare about it). I’ve found it very easy to default to they/them, though I usually switch to someone’s preferred pronouns when I learn what they are (even then I still use they/them a lot because it’s natural to me now). I also speak Dutch, and there it’s a bit more difficult. We do also have gender neutral “die/die/diens” (equivalent of they/them/their) but especially “diens” is seen as quite formal in my experience, so it’s less natural in regular speech. Dutch also has the old idea of “gender neutral he” but even more extreme than in English. We actually use “hij/hem” (equivalent of he/him) for _inanimate objects_ as well. For example “Mijn stoel is kapot, ik ging zitten en toen is hij in elkaar geklapt” is a perfectly acceptable sentence that translates roughly to “my chair is broken, I went to sit and then _he_ collapsed”. I realise this is perhaps an unnecessarily long reply to this short comment lol, hopefully it was interesting nonetheless. Have a nice day!! Edit: made the translation for the Dutch sentence slightly better, clarified that “diens” is equivalent to “their” not “them”

good job keep going!!!

When I started learning the language I decided to use only the gender neutral pronouns for everyone. I wasn't aware of how important gender could be for some until I learned about transgenders. Now I try to use the correct pronouns for people I know but my brain still often defaults to they/them.

Great idea tho. I wish I could do that in my native language(Portuguese).

That's what I love about amie's community. Everybody here is so helpful when people start to figure things out.

@@ahmadkhairul337 *"Hey, fun fact anecdotal evidence isn't a convincing argument. Biology and scientific facts are..."* Correct! *"...they say humans can't change gender."* False!

@@TheReaverOfDarkness another fun fact, you can't just say whatever you think is right and expect people to believe it. You need to give evidence or explanation for it to be accepted as truth. For example, you can't just say you identify as a cop to someone. You need to prove you're one. Understood kid?

@@ahmadkhairul337 Nah, just making sure you have your facts straight or even going to great lengths to demonstrate your argument will not guarantee that people will accept its validity; nor will being wrong stop people from taking your word for it. Case in point: you and your certainty in something so clearly incorrect. I was going to play nice but you went too far and stayed too smug. It's play time now. So answer me this: how come frogs can change sex? What sex is an earthworm? I'll be surprised if you get these right, seeing as you don't even know the difference between sex and gender which are two entirely separate things.

We should really normalize having painted nails for everyone. It's literally just paint on your nails. That can look amazing and make you feel like the baddest bitch. I even think 70 year old grandpas would be delighted to feel the power that comes with painted nails.

@@nutella7162 I was thinking about that the other day when I was at my nephew's birthday and I noticed that only 2 of 10 guests had nail polish on and I was totally dressed to have mine painted as well. I wear make-up as well. Not that many people notice that, they mostly just mention I look good, not (always/often) realising exactly why they think that. I know exactly why though. Some years ago I ran into two guys who looked stunning, and I looked closely and they had perfectly groomed beards and eyebrows and perfect hair and make-up on, and I was like... why is it that only gay men and women are expected to look this good? So... so I was like, F that bullshit, and I now look that good too! And people notice and turn their heads and flirt with me a lot more, and I like it! :D Getting the right nail polish can be a bit of an issue though. I wouldn't want it to clash with my more masculine clothing. I have some ideas. Dark red and aubergine would look great with everything I have. Or silver and black in diagonal stripes or with a small image if I feel fancy and have someone do it for me. I'd love to have black and green on one hand and black and aubergine on the other and walk around with a black wooden cane with a silver dragon head or something.

my mom makes g-free cake for our g-free family friends and it is honestly just as good as the cake with gluten (aroace speaking)

In some ways, it’s easier to make cakes without gluten, because you don’t have to worry about overworking the batter.

I've made gluten free brownies, only from a box recipe so far... Hmm... I should experiment with gluten free cake... For science ofc ^^' Actually I don't go to events or anything and I don't know enough people to make my own events, but ik my one friend would try my baking, gluten free or not, so that's ok. Always nice to save for a rainy day as well ^^'

As somebody who also hast to watch the gluten, not full on celiac, but do you have a sensitivity and have to limit my gluten intake and who has a best friend who is full on celiac and has helped me through the first few years of the diet change I have to agree They always does still have your cake and eat it too so to speak without having any negative side effects from gluten did you make gluten-free cakes in some places some bakeries depending on where you are specially the small ones do pretty good at gluten-free options and if worse comes to worse, there’s always ice cream cake but most bakeries especially the small ones do a pretty darn good job at gluten-free cakes and pastries. Turn the big ones including the ones in super stores do an OK job but you’re better off going to a smaller mom and pop shop and they do make gluten-free cake mix that you can make at home if you’re trust yourself or your family members but there are some good gluten-free be good so that you just kind of have to look and find a places around you that have the good quality gluten-free bait, goods imported, any crazy spelling, legally, blind, using speech to text technology, which tends to get messed up due to my speech impairment as well

@@bloomjuliaeslavin525 I would ask why there's no periods in that entire message but the last bit explains it. Hate how speech to text seems to be allergic to adding periods in any messages but dw, you're understandable. Do wonder about you thinking mom and pop stores are better then chain stores, do you think that depends on the area and some are better or worse or do you think the small reach of smaller stores is just a stronger incentive to make higher quality goods? Or perhaps it's smaller bakeries might have a little more room to experiment with recipes rather then larger buisnesses, some products of which are likely factory produced and therefore pretty rigid in quality and sometimes cheaper made (depending on manufacturer)? I've always been curious about that ngl, since mom and pop stores can be hard to come by in some areas but I've heard others swear by them as well, I just have a hard time finding any that interest me to see for myself

Yes, there's some wonderful gluten-free foods out there. I am unfortunately one of the unlucky with Celiac disease, so GF is an absolute must.

where do eggs come in with garlic bread?

Eggs in garlic bread..? Where and how? I'm genuinely curious about this because there's plant based alternatives to traditional butter but butter uses milk, not egg, and if it's in the bread itself... That's not how I was taught to make homemade bread, though I learned and since forgotten most of the steps from a vegan so... Is the way I was taught, not the norm?

@@discordiacreates6669 it is not in making the bread garlicky,, but in getting a bread of the appropriate consistency. To get a good crusty texture to bread with the large and pervasive gas bubbles such as are in baguettes and other breads traditionally used for garlic bread, one needs a certain amount of long-chain proteins. Traditionally, these would be the gliaden glutens in flours such as wheat or spelt. The proteins of most gluten-free flours are much shorter, resulting in a denser texture throughout, less dramatic rising, and a crust which is more chewy than crispy. The easiest way to overcome this challenge is to add egg, especially egg yolk, to breads which would not traditionally contain egg, so that the long-chain protiens in the egg will give the dough the elasticity for the sort of large gas bubble formation in high rising crusty breads. This is also why most gluten-free free cakes which are also vegan tend toward the chewier side; the egg substitutes such as applesauce, mashed banana, flaxmeal, and aquafava replace the binding action of eggs, but not the rising action. I can get a passable naan by using flaxmeal, aquafava, and active culture nut yogurts --all three, no two alone work -- but that is nothing compared to the rising action needed for a crusty baked loaf.

@@marieugorek5917 ah I see, so the protein chain is what matters for that. Thank you for the explaination, I'm barely a novice with baking and don't do it nearly enough so haven't noticed that difference since I haven't experimented enough. Will try to remember and keep that in mind now

I personally think it would sound a lot more fAnCy if it used predates singular you instead, but that is simply my personal opinion.

"Pre dates singular you" would fit the meter better

My gender is piss

I mean technically it’s possible to build a computer out of ternary, quaternary, quinary, and higher. Ternary especially has some nice features so it’s been proposed before. And where does a quantum computer fall? It has states that are a mixture of the binary 0 and 1, so perhaps it includes genders between “man” and “woman” but not genders outside that part of the spectrum. Seems the solution is a ternary quantum computer for true computational equality. Let’s get working gang!!

@@kikivoorburg Seems like the perfect solution to me. It's also how many non binary people describe their gender or being gender fluid: like being somewhere in a triangle where one corner has no gender and one has male and one has female. Seems perfect for me as well as a cis man, and I assume for most people. I mean, do all that many people perfectly fit on a point of that triangle? I sure don't. Maybe anatomically I almost fit perfectly, but men have breast tissue, and what do male eyeballs look like as opposed to female eyeballs? And the way I go about my days doesn't feel like I'm 100% male and nothing but male, but I'm also not female or non binary. So I'm a man, but I don't feel like I fit exactly on that male point of the triangle. It's more like I have an elastic tied somewhere in the male corner of the triangle and I'll just gravitate around that point a bit. I try to pull myself a little toward the female side sometimes, but that's just because I like feeling sexy and I find femininity generally more sexy than most masculinity, and I feel that expressing things from the opposite sex often emphasises your gender instead of another gender. Like how a feminine woman can look more feminine wearing a typically masculine blouse and a man can look more masculine in a stylish dress. I'm also wondering about the superposition of a binary system, is that really just a mix of the two and there's no option for _none?_ Because if _none_ just equals 0 that seems broken to me. Let's get cracking with this ternary system!

Yeah, change is damn hard. But breakdowns make space for rebuilding.

Dysphoria was waaaay easier to deal with once I understood what was going on. I was able to say to myself, "It's not a bad body. There is nothing inherently wrong with it. Some parts of it aren't right for me but that's not it's fault." It sounds silly but being able to forgive my body really helped. There will always be aspects that trigger dysphoria but I can accept that better now.

Can we specifically claim KD? I know that that most people don't have it thing but it specifically tastes so good.
