The reason you don’t get it is because logic is incompatible with stupidity. Stop wasting your time with these clowns. All they are saying is that your status as a man or a woman is determined by your personality traits (if you’re masculine you’re a man, if you’re feminine you’re a woman) which is a sexist lie all by itself. It is the literal equivalent of claiming that I might not actually be a Black woman because because I don’t like hip-hop and didn’t grow up poor. If you know better than that then you know better than to accept this sexist garbage spewed by gender ideologues. They just might have white supremacists beat with how proudly regressive and stupid they are. Besides, Most of these “transgenders” are trans-PRETENDERS anyway, aka basic azz white kids seeking to forge an identity as an oppressed minority. Talk about privilege- when you literally have nothing to worry about in life other than typical growing pains so you just start making up crap to paint yourself as “marginalized”. Pathetic!

@@yarr0 No, I’m talking about the “Z” pronouns and everything

Hi there, yes entirely fair. in the same way that some terms become outdated and other things are brought into existence language needs to be reflective of the word it's used to describe. In the same way people have had to unlearn words like colored, oriental, mongoloid, calling things "gay" or "retarded." I supposed yes, these words would be unknown but new words are introduced into the lexicon all the time. At one point guacamole wasn't a household term, nor was salsa or even cherry coke but as we recognize them we need to identify them accordingly. Ze / Xe / Ey have actually been introduced into the English language as non-binary pronouns several times but they're not commonly taught because of how repressed/ isolated the trans population has been. You likely don't need to know the names of cheeses they don't sell in your local markets or plants you rarely encounter. When they become part of your world they deserve their own proper linguistic terminology : ) Hope that helps!

@@Sprayfaint I disagree about why neopronouns have had such trouble historically. It's a long time interest of mine. I've been seeking to get some neutral pronouns established for many decades, long preceding the more recent non-binary identification (my reason was more about feminism and avoiding presumptions of male defaults). There have been LOTS of attempts over the decades (you've probably never heard of "co" and "per" and such, which came and went with few ripples), but each has only been used in some small context - nobody could agree to standardize them, each group made up their own, there was no accumulated momentum. The recent surge in neo-pronouns also ran into almost the same problems. Except this time, rather than different sets of pronouns scattered sparsely over time and place, there were dozens hitting at once and in effect competing with each other. Again, no ability to agree and compromise and push one consistent set. It's hard historically to change structure words like pronouns; we add nouns and verbs and adjectives (or new meanings of existing ones) all the time, but pronoun changes tend to take literally hundreds of years to change. When you combine that human tendency with a plethora of proposed new varieties, and expect people to remember every person's individual and *current* preferences, it's a really hard sell, at least among this species. This involves an imposed cognitive load which does not resonate with people as justified. Sure, we can learn whatever pronoun a daughter uses, but for everybody we meet - when many are barely able to remember names? Not going to happen broadly and sustainably. However, even more recently, "they/them" has gotten by far the most traction I have ever witnessed as an acutely interested participant/observer. This is not a neo-pronoun, it's a variant on an existing usage. Yay! In my quest to avoid unnecessary he/she assumptions but also communicate well, I settled on using "they" when I could several decades ago. Like "if a user wants to delete their answer, they can click on the red X at the bottom". If done well, few people will notice, and this use of "they" to represent an unknown or unspecified person actually goes back centuries (tho its popularity has varied over time). The most recent usage has expanded that historical usage to incude a new thing -known persons who identify as non-binary. Semantically, there is a difference between "person of unknown gender" and "person of known non-binary gender". But "they/them" has recently become used for both, a small linguistic innovation. To be honest, I was rooting for standardizing on a neopronoun set like "zie/zim" because it would preserve the semantic nuance described above and avoid singular/plural ambiguities. I like expressive language. But since no such neopronoun is winning out linguistically, I'm happy enough to have "they/them" as the new standard, and hoping it succeeds for the long run. But the core reason we may settle on "they/them" is that we as a community have been utterly unable to come to any consensus about a single neo-pronoun set. If we were more cooperative and collaborative, more of a real functioning community, we could do that - and I'd be glad to throw my full support on the new standard as well. This is a historic moment where the language might permanently shift - but only if we could form consensus. Failing that, "they/them" is ok. I believe that (whether we like it or not) the approach of everybody choosing idiosyncratic neo-pronouns from a large set of options, is going to be in the end a temporary and forgotten historical fad, known someday only to specialists in linguistic history as an amusing quirk of the early 21st century. (Read up on the roots of "okay" to get the flavor of that). But the usage of "they/them" for indeterminate and neutral gender may just stick around for the long run. I'm not advocating this so much as predicting it.

You can't control others, so no, having such an expectation will lead one quickly to disappointment.

Your body is an avatar, it is that inner self that tells you you are in the wrong avatar. I think thats what it mean. Your body is one way but your inner says its not the same as your body hence dysphoria.

The sense of inner self refers to one's subjective experience and understanding of themselves, including their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about who they are as a person. For transgender individuals, this sense of inner self may conflict with the gender they were assigned at birth based on their physical sex characteristics. In other words, they may feel like their true gender identity doesn't match the body they were born with, which can cause significant distress and discomfort. Sense of inner self is like your gut feeling, your vibe, your intuition about who you are at your core. And for transgender individuals, that vibe might not match what society expects based on their birth-assigned gender.

@OWN If you gender is how you feel or think you are how does that make you what you are? Can a person be a feeling?

If I had not been able to transition, I likely would have committed suicide in the near future. I can't speak for everyone, but that's generally how it feels to be trans. Transition is not always amazing, but it is a relief from the agony of dissociating and faking your life. The fact that transition sounds inherently unpleasant is a good sign you're not trans, you're lucky not to struggle with that aspect of your sense of self. The reason the majority of people detransition is because OTHER people made their life miserable while transitioning, be it their parents, their former friends, or harassment from bigoted people like you.

Lucky for you most trans people are responsible.

No. Repulsive.

look at me go Or an it

I think the start of the video covers your point on the distinction between “trans” and “gay”. My understanding is that: - the term ‘gay’ is used to describe people attracted to the same sex. So, being ‘gay’ refers to someone’s *sexuality*, ie sexual preference. - the term ‘trans’ refers to someone who breaks away from the limiting, stereotypical cis male / cis female binary system. That is to say, people who are “born male” or “born female”, and live their whole life happily accepting that gender assignment + gender role. In this sense, being ‘trans’ refers to someone’s *gender* (or gender identity). Gender and sexuality are of course two different things! And when you have two different factors, it creates not just a spectrum, but an axis. As an example, one person may identify as a straight, trans female. Someone else may identify as an asexual, cis female. Both identify as female, one is trans while the other is cis, and their sexualities are pretty much an unrelated other part of their identities. Please correct me if I am off base on any of this ❤

@A0 a type of callorie

You're doing pretty good I think. Gender is a societal construct. We as a society at some point decided that "females" played with dolls and "males" like cars. If you are a male who likes dolls and she/her pronouns, then you're not a male. This is entirely arbitrary and stereotypical. However, unfortunately, we do live in a society. And this society runs on a binary system, whether we like it or not. Almost everyone has lived with this for so long that it is hard to understand that this system doesn't actually make much sense. Afterrall, we're just all humans with three different types of biological sexes. Why does the way we dress and things we like have to matter in that? To fit into society, we are expected to fit the standard of "male" or "female" boxes. However, if your sex is male but you're not one internally, then you do not fit the box. An error in the binary system. The term to use then is "Trans" (think biology class, when you were learning about cis and trans golgi bodies in Cell). A person whose gender doesn't fit their biological sex is labelled as Trans. They can "transition" into their gender to fit in the other binary box. (or maybe, fit into both boxes, or none at all) You said gender as a personality thing. To slightly correct it, "it is an identity thing." Being trans is about *who you are* as opposed to *who you are wrongfully perceived by society to be.* If society considered gender to not be limited to binary then there wouldn't be this conversation at all. Let everyone be who they are. At the end of the day, if we're all nice and kind to each other, then why do stereotypical gender labels have to matter? We're just people, man. We're all gonna die one day and what's in someone else's pants isn't gonna matter then.

You clearly haven't grasped the basics of what it means to be transgender. It's not about changing the way someone uses their "native tongue," it's about respecting the identities and experiences of people who may not conform to traditional gender norms. And let me tell you, "relax and be yourself" is some seriously privileged advice. Trans people face discrimination, harassment, and violence on a daily basis just for existing as themselves. So no, they can't just "relax" and expect everything to be sunshine and rainbows. So before you make uninformed and insensitive comments, maybe take the time to educate yourself on the issues at hand. Or, you know, just keep your mouth shut and let those who actually know what they're talking about speak. Either way works for me. 😜

Watch out. You might get publicly humiliated as a bigot and transphobe for that!

Seek treatment to learn to love yourself the way you are. We don't operate or feed into the thoughts of people with anorexia so they're as skinny as they feel comfortable with. We get them help so they learn to love themselves and so should you!

@Cian MacGana what brainwashing???

Brainwashing

I've read your comment several times and I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. I would say that I think everyone should be free to express their gender identity in any way they see fit, with the usual caveat that doing harm to others is not acceptable. So, if you are happy being a man who has feminine traits that is fine as far as I am concerned.

@@MilesDavisKDAB well I guess I'm genuinely asking why someone would choose to identify as non-binary, besides not having to conform to certain norms considered as typically feminine or masculine? Once again, just trying to be informed 😁

So three things: 1, identity is not a choice, but labels are. To use an analogy, if you were feeling tired, you probably didn't choose to feel tired, but you might choose a way to describe that if someone asked you depending on how you felt, e.g. "I'm feeling sleepy/tired/exhausted." So for me I didn't choose to be nonbinary, but I did choose to start describing myself as Nonbinary/Genderqueer/Androgyne, because those words best match how I feel. It's kinda confusing, but basically think of it as "born this way", same as sexuality. 2, nonbinary people can have dysphoria. It can be similar to the dysphoria experienced by binary trans people e.g. I have dysphoria around my body being too feminine, which trans men may also experience. It can also be different to the dysphoria experienced by binary trans people e.g. I have dysphoria over not be called by they/them pronouns, and I have dysphoria around not being able to look "feminine in a boyish way". I don't imagine that many binary people would feel like that. 3, gender identity =/= gender roles/norms. I like pop music and the colour purple and having long hair. Doesn't make me a woman. I also like electric guitar and the colour blue and male-dominated STEM subjects. Doesn't make me a man. What I think does make me the gender that I am is the way I want to be perceived. I want to look in the mirror and look androgynous, and I want people to see me as neither a man or a woman. So to me it doesn't matter what traits you have - if you're happiest being perceived as a man by yourself and by others, you're a man. Hope that helped!

@@SaintMarianne Not at all. By transitioning from one gender identity to the other you are validating the thesis according to which your sex implies a certain gender, otherwise if you truly believed every human being can do what he wants with his preferences and his personality you wouldn't even care to switch, because your sex would not limit you at all in your actions. What the comment above is saying is true: the entire concept of "gender" is just nonsense, not because it's too complex to understand or too progressive, as the LGBT people usually like to say to make themselves feel better, but because it clearly contradicts itself to the core. If you think gender identity is a thing, it means you belive you can't get long pink hair just because people see you as a male, and you think you need permission from them first, that can be obtained just if you make yourself appear as a female to others. It's an incredibly conservative way of seeing the world, yet it's inexplicably brought on by leftists.

That’s false though. You can absolutely get long pink hair or dress femme and still identify as a man, if you want, that’s part of what breaking the traditional gender boundaries is all about, whether you’re a femboy or a tomboy or a twink or butch or whatever. Sex doesn’t determine what you are and how you choose to be, our gender identity and how we express it is completely within our control. There’s nothing even remotely conservative about removing birth sex from the equation and allowing people to define gender on their own terms instead, and that’s what transition is all about.

i hope you start coming in

@@bastainjames4526 and I hope you staple your mouth shut

Since no one has answered yet, I'll tell you what I know. You'll have to forgive me if it's not that complete! Binary trans people are included in the categories that match their gender (that is, with cis people). But, from what I've seen, they can only do this if their hormonal levels are inside the average of their group. This is more important in women's categories, because some people feel like permitting someone with a male body to compete would be unfair (by average, male bodies tend to be stronger etc, although not all of them are). This means that, if you're a trans person, it is likely that you'd have to be in some form of hormonal treatment to be able to compete with cis people. (It is my belief that trans people wouldn't want to compete with people of their assigned gender, because that would be misgendering them, but I don't speak for every trans person.) I don't have knowledge about non-binary people in sports though. Since "women's" and "men's" sports have been so commonly divided by biology and who fits the arbitrary average of male and female, my guess is that non-binary people would be grouped with the people of their assigned gender. I hope this helps!

It’s one thing to have an opinion, but then being ignorant and refusing to accept something your brain might not be able to comprehend and still argue is when you should be quiet and not cause problems you don’t comprehend nor experience.

Being transgender is not about "switching gender based off of how one feels." It's about a deeply felt sense of incongruence between one's assigned sex at birth and one's gender identity. It's not just about personality and emotions, it's about a fundamental sense of who you are. And as for your question about why gender norms even matter, well, have you ever heard of something called "systemic oppression?" Yeah, that's kind of a big deal. Gender norms and expectations are deeply ingrained in our society, and they often lead to discrimination and violence against people who don't conform to them. And as for your suggestion that people should just be able to feel whatever they want without having to place themselves into a gender category, well, that's a lovely idea in theory, but it's not how the world works. Gender is a social construct, but it's a powerful one, and it affects everything from how we're treated in the workplace to whether or not we're safe walking down the street at night.

It is not a social construct it’s biology Your characteristics could be more masculine or feminine but biology is biology And that is SCIENCE

@@narcodium I don't deny the reality of biological sex. There is no evidence however for some inner feeling of masculity/ feminity. The idea that you can feel like 'a man trapped in a women's body' or vice versa finds not root in science. Gender is the socially constructed behaviours and expectations that come with being male/ female.

"Cis" is a derogatory term. Learn your history, before you become a victim of it.

@@michaelmaguire5594 What does the word cis mean to you? Because to me and many others it is a simple acronym that is short for cisgender which is the scientific word for someone who l’s gender is aligned (or in other words a person who isn’t transgender or non-binary) with the one they were born with. I don’t see how a word describing your relationship with your gender can be derogatory unless the person saying it is trying to insult a person with the term by saying it with a derogatory intensions or tone.

@@MVCoffin This current display of mass mental illness started with Dr. Money and the 2 boys he treated, David & Bruce Reimer, in the mid 60's. 'Cis' was originally a derogatory term. Anyone who can be led to be confused as to what SEX they are, can be led to believe ANYTHING. Once again, like I stated before, learn your history before you become a victim of it. This is what happens when everyone is running around spewing THEIR version of the truth; the REAL TRUTH gets forgotten in the chatter.

Nope, just transphobic trolls in the dungeon.

Yes the whole video is wrong

Yes, they're saying you don't need dysphoria to be trans implying that trans is a choice when it really isn't

@@MisaChan101 stop spamming the same crap over and over. It is abundantly clear that you do not understand anything about being trans.

@@yarr0 They don't even understand it themselves 🙄

wtf

Agreed. I have yet to hear a definition of "non-binary" that does not reference gender stereoptypes.

Cis: your gender aligns with your sex Trans: your gender doesn't align with your sex Non-binary: something that falls under the trans umbrella, but is specific to people who identify outside of the gender binary Simple as that.

​@@hiimapenguin So how is gender described in this video, other than as a set of stereotypes? Note that it defines cis as completely aligning, but I've never yet met anybody who completely aligns, so I think that makes everybody trans. That is not a service to trans folks, nor to anybody else. I've fought against gender stereotypes my entire adult life, and now I'm seeing them reified as the gold standard. Do you believe that gender is not binary but a spectrum? If so, then we can logically infer that nobody has a binary gender since that doesn't even exist, and we are all non-binary but rather on a spectrum.

@@zephsmith3499 in a way, yes, gender is a spectrum, but for a large amount of people it is quite binary, thus the binary gender system that is female and male. Also along with what you are saying, sex is also technically a spectrum, with slight (or not so slight) variations between person to person, that's just how it is, does that make everyone intersex? No, it does not. The system of binary and non binary sex and gender is so unfathomably complex, physiologically, that we simplify it down to the nearest binary or non binary, similar to how 1/3x3 is simplified to 1 instead of 0.9 with the 9 indefinitely repeating, of course there are larger leaps than that, but for the majority, that's how it is. To addon, technically all people who were born male are trans, or at least some form of intersex, seeing as we all start out as females until the Y chromosome is activated leading to male genitalia and whatever is Y chromosome specific. Of course, like most things, I have simplified this quite a bit by taking trace variables out and only going with the basics, though it would change very little, if anything, if I include them, it would just be a whole lot more typing. P.S. anyway, I'm going to go to sleep now and will check to see if there is a response sometime in the late evening tomorrow. P.P.S. as a side note, gender is how you identify, say a person is AMAB and identifies as male, are cis, but if someone is AMAB but identify as female or other they are trans, the second of the 2 would more specifically be non-binary. P.P.P.S. this is getting way so long it's lagging my phone so I'll make this short and sweet, sex is how you are identified, gender is how you identify.

@@hiimapenguin Since gender is about socially constructed stereotype clusters, and nobody fits all the stereotypes, I can understand that one simplified model is to think of it as a spectrum. (I personally far prefer to abolish the stereotypes and let people have whatever mixture of stereotyped or non-stereotyped traits they wish, but I nevertheless can understand how the simplified 'spectrum' model would appeal to some people). Biological sex on the other hand is at heart about reproduction; all else is just secondary markers associated with sex. There are exactly two gametes. There is no third gamete, and no gamete which is 1/4 sperm and 3/4 ovum. The only way for mammals to reproduce is to combine exactly a gamete from each type; not two of the same type, not two of one type and one of the other, exactly one of each. That's as binary as it gets, and biologically this goes far beyond homo sapiens. Of course, there are sometimes genetic and development errors which cause some of the secondary and tertiary markers typically associated with (but NOT comprising) sex to be atypical. A tiny proportion of humans is born with truly ambiguous genitalia, for example, and this is called "intersex". But intersex people do not comprise a third sex, or produce gametes which are 1/3 male and 2/3 female. There is no spectrum of sex - though one might find a spectrum in such markers as penis size or clitoris size, but those are not sex, they are markers statistically associated with sex. Some people accidentally or deliberately confuse secondary markers of sex with sex itself, and I am familiar with their arguments but find them scientifically unsupported, closer to the old debates about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin - abstract word games divorced from physical reality. None of that wordplay matters to sexual reproduction which still requires exactly one male gamete to fuse with exactly one female gamete, period. No postmodern philosophy changes that binary reality. Gender does not become binary, or biologically determined, just because some people personally think of it that way; gender is still socially constructed and they are still somewhere on that socially constructed gender spectrum. And sex does not become a spectrum just because some people confuse it with the secondary traits typical of a sex; they are still mammals with no third gamete type nor intermediate gametes for biological reproductive purposes. I'm not saying this to harm anybody, it's just trying to be rational and thoughtful. These facts are 100% compatible with treating all people (of *any* combination of sex and gender) kindly and compassionately. Being kind and compassionate does not require ignoring the factual universe. Nor does it require us to reinforce gender stereotypes, telling people what social constructions are only for women or only for men. It is not hateful to reject coercive stereotyping. I am advocating acceptance and tolerance and appreciation of human diversity - and also factual honesty, and there is no conflict whatsoever in that approach.

8 months late, maybe you reaserched info but im gonna respond anyway. Being trans is not about fitting in the stereotype that you think matches your personality or taste in anything. People are trans and transition because their body feels strange to them in the sense that they don't feel its theirs, you can't erase the feeling and the only known non harming way is to medically transition.

@@muumu0 okay, that being said do you believe that you need to have gender dysphoria to be trans then? cuz i would agree with that too but it seems like most of the trans community does not

@@bilawl9359 dysphoria varies depending on the person, maybe you feel dysphoria with your body, or socially or somewhere else but dysphoria is key to transition EVEN THOUGH maybe your dysphoria lowers or increases during hrt for reasons relating to the dosage, how well you take it and even something as basic accepting you are trans. There should be a discomfort that bothers you and doesn't let you live your life because, why would you change if you have don't have that discomfort?

@@bilawl9359 but also some people don't transition or by example identify as non binary and decide they are comfortable with their bodies and thats valid too.

@@muumu0 how is that valid though? What is the reason they choose to identify as non-binary? What is the is the reason that makes them not want to identify as neither man or woman? Is it feeling masculine one day and feminine the other?

TLDR; language is important to people and it helps us communicate our previously undefined experiences better with people who don’t understand.

Well he’s old enough to do what he wants but he should thoroughly research what he’s assuming and be objective about it and not just look at studies or statistics that were done in bias just to reinforce his already echo chambered ideology. He needs to look at suicide rates of trans both before and after operation as well as the “very un-talked” about consequences of the operation such as ingrown hairs in surgical vaginas, infections, high risk of cancer taking hormones, etc…. Unfortunately gender dysphoria does not get proper research these days because of ideological morons who care more for image and profit over actual well being. Good luck and god speed

Don't go along with it. Inform yourself. Get him out of this cult.

i think a good first step to accepting your child and loving them is to find out what name or pronouns they want to use and to practice using them! if you mess up just quickly correct yourself and move on. it can be hard to change what you refer to someone as especially if they’re very close to you but do your best to make them feel comfortable and happy :)

@@cycledance so make them feel like dirt and like they aren't allowed to be themselves?? NO.

Why do u need crystal earring when u can just shoot up crystal up ur body dat makes more sense to me than someone liking this video.

best of luck to you with your journey. But it you are male and "want to be a girl", that isn't "gay". It sounds more like transgendered; male body outside, female mind,hart and emotions inside. Find some legitimate support; wish you well

crossdress at home! don't play the other gender at the outside world! And don't risk your health just to get the other genitallia please!!!

@Arabella Willette A physically white person may may think/feel they’re black but to the rest of the world the person IS white, regardless of their feeling black. It’s their feeling about themselves despite what everyone else SEES. What someone feels about themselves has nothing to do with me. It’s none of my business. People can feel about themselves what they want/need to, it just doesn’t change what PHYSICALLY is regardless of the politically correct terminology/descriptors used by other caring people. Everyone has their own cross to bear. I feel/think I’m slim but the rest of the world knows I’m not but some may humor me because they are really caring individuals and don’t feel that their “accepting” my view of myself doesn’t impact them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@Earthomo The difference with the example you give here is that if that white person who identifies as black physically altered their appearance to "look black", entered a black community and said "I'm like you now, I understand what it's like to be you because I dress and 'feel' black based on stereotypes I've seen in the world and you must accept this and I want you to call me a "New black" and I've decided that you must call yourselves "Old black"" and the people of the black community took offence, the world wouldn't side with the white person and lambaste the people of the black community for being "racist". They would recognise this was only furthering the oppression the black community has faced from white people. Whereas women are being lambasted for saying "Don't call me a cis woman, or a person who menstruates, I'm a woman". Or are being called transphobic for saying that it only furthers the oppression of a minority group who have been historically (and are still!) oppressed to force them to change their own identity language to please others. Or we're "transphobic" for identifying that the experience of being a woman is different to the experience of being a trans woman, and we are equal, but different. We're not even allowed to speak out as ourselves, as people with lived experience in the category being debated, without being called transphobic!

Yea I love their style :]

🤢

I know, right?? Their style is just gorgeous! 💜

It looks like a genetic experiment gone wrong XD

@@user-jw2ol3dq2z so true 😂😂😂

No if you are confused about your gender, then what the hell else are you confused about? Do you think dogs are cats and cats are dogs? It's not that hard to KNOW your gender. I'm tired of this movement and people acting like hurt feelings is like murder. You are wrong. Just accept it! Changing EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF DOESN'T CHANGE YOUR DNA!!!!

@ CoopertheTrooper 199300 and yet, you’re more emotionally hurt here by a comment saying a positive thing than the commenter is about your negative comment. Nice work.

@@CoopertheTrooper-xx2rq you are almost understanding it. We know our gender, but people like you keep insisting we are a different gender.

Confused and delusional? That’s what I took from this

Treatment for prostate cancer is determined based on a variety of factors, including the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health and medical history, and the preferences of the patient and their medical team. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider who can provide you with personalized information and guidance on treatment options that are appropriate for you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to seek additional information from trusted medical sources or consult with a healthcare provider. Remember, your health and well-being are important, and there are resources available to support you through this challenging time.

That’s the beauty of genderfluidity. Though detransitioning is uncommon, it happens sometimes. And that’s totally ok! As people we grow and change through our life and so does our perception of who we are. If this makes me happy and I’m not harming anyone or myself, why not?

@@copper.canary trans people create the bathroom problem so yes they are harming other people even if not direct harm

People know what's right for them because they freaking feel it in their bones. It's called being true to yourself, something you might not be familiar with. And yes, sometimes people make mistakes, but that's called learning and growing. It's not an excuse to deny someone's identity or invalidate their experiences. So why don't you take several seats and educate yourself on the struggles that trans folks go through instead of questioning their basic human rights? Okurr?

@@own4801 aesthetic changes are not "human rights"

@@yol_n Being transgender isn't just about "aesthetic changes," as you put it. It's about a person's gender identity not matching the sex they were assigned at birth. It's about feeling like you were born in the wrong body, and the emotional pain and confusion that comes with that. But let's talk about those "aesthetic changes" you seem to be so dismissive of. Transitioning isn't just some frivolous cosmetic procedure, it's a crucial part of many trans people's journeys to living authentically as themselves. And let me tell you, honey, nobody's doing it for funsies. It can be expensive, time-consuming, and downright dangerous in some parts of the world. So when you say that "aesthetic changes" aren't human rights, you're completely missing the point. Access to healthcare, including transition-related care, is a basic human right. Nobody should have to suffer because they can't afford or access the medical treatment they need to live as their true selves.

@ULGROTHA i love you lmao

Okay boomer. 🙄

Yeah. I have slipped into suicidality quite a few times in my life because of how bad my dysphoria can get. Nobody wants this. Please just be respectful and educate yourself.

You're a trans person in denial

@@senseisleepyhead Zoomer here. Grow up.

yes. Being gay is the attraction to the same gender. Trans is when you are born diffferent to the way you feel

Homosexuality is being attracted to the same sex. Someone who is transgender wishes to identify and be identified as the opposite gender.

Okayyy, I get it now. Thanks!

But they often come together. A man may be straight, but after becoming a woman - she is now gay.

thats the biggest one. LGBT is self acceptance but also surgery to change gender wtf haha. Just dress as the other gender at home, don't risk a useless surgery that would complicate your life

Being transgender is not just a "personality trait." It's a deep-rooted identity that people are born with, just like your eye color or your height. And guess what? Loving yourself for who you are includes accepting and embracing your gender identity, even if it doesn't match the sex you were assigned at birth. It's not about becoming an "alter ego," it's about being true to yourself and living authentically. And as for your comment about "mutilating" and "poisoning" the body, that's just plain ignorant. Medical transition is a legitimate and often life-saving treatment for gender dysphoria, a condition recognized by the medical community. It's not about hating your body, it's about aligning your body with your true self. So, before you go spouting off your uninformed opinions, maybe take a minute to educate yourself and show some empathy for your fellow human beings.

@@own4801 which part of multilation is not true? How the hell is someone "born" trans? And we're the ignorant one?

@@yol_n Being transgender is not about "mutilation," but rather a deeply personal and complex experience of gender identity that can differ from the sex assigned at birth. And if you had done your research beyond spewing ignorant comments, you would know that studies have shown that biological factors, such as hormone levels in utero, can play a role in shaping a person's gender identity. So yeah, people can indeed be born transgender.

Same here. Don't worry.

Can I ask a question to you guys? I hope asking to you will be useful and informative, unlike the video. I really don't get the core concept of "gender". I'm biologically a male. Let's say tomorrow I want to paint my nails, make my hair pink and wear makeup. What prevents me from doing that? Nothing, should be the correct and most logical response. In an actually progressive and inclusive society, nobody would feel the need to judge another person based on their sex, and more in general nobody would assume that certain things and behaviors are for men and some are for women, simply because it's clear that sex and behaviors are not mutually implied in any way. In a society like this, where everybody can feel and act as they want and desire, why would anyone feel the need to change sex to get "permission" from people to do and be certain things? If the "masculine" and "feminine" stuff is just a social construct (and it is, in fact) and not an actual consequence of your sex, why validate this construct by switching sex to pair your gender identity with the sex you think it's associated with? I really really don't get it. And please don't elude the question by saying "trans people don't hurt anyone, they just want to be happy", because as you know this topic has many other potential implications on a large scale that should be carefully considered.
