I've 13 00:00:59.240 --> 00:00:59.920 ever seen? 14 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:05.200 This was yesterday and today is the We're recording on 15 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:10.599 April eighth, a Wednesday, and yeah, the resident woke up 16 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:19.480 with threats to yeah but wow, just wow. So these 17 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:24.400 are the times we're living in now anyway for now? Yeah, well, 18 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.719 we're just gonna keep recording. And you know, the man 19 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.120 is is that dementia? Is its sinility, is it Alzheimer's? 20 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.959 Is it syphilis? Is it a combination of all of it? 21 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.480 I was getting gonna say more than one thing can 22 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.439 be true at the same time. 23 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:49.480 M Yeah, whatever, it is. 24 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.319 Something must be done, and why aren't we doing it? 25 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:55.840 Yeah? Yeah, the twenty fifth Amendment seriously comes to mind, 26 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.640 because this is unhinged. And you know, if you want 27 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.280 to balance, just consider what the other side would have 28 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.879 done if Joe Biden said one Obama would have said 29 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.840 one of the things this jackass has said, or done 30 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:17.759 one of them, or let let Michelle have never mind. 31 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.960 But you know what I'm saying, I do like the 32 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.840 Democrats are supposed to be the grown ups at this 33 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.639 point apparently, and you know, whatever nonsense comes out of them, 34 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.599 it's a game of how ridiculous can they make it. 35 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.879 It's almost like human lives are not at stake and this. 36 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.800 Is all just for likes and clicks or something. I 37 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.039 don't know. 38 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.800 Well that's how well, that's how the nation's being wrong, 39 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.240 because that was really his biggest gig was being a 40 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.800 reality show host. Yeah, he liked that the best. I 41 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.800 think m's the only one he ever got baid for, probably, 42 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.039 I mean, well, the only one anyone got paid. 43 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.639 For, because the only one he was actually any good 44 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.080 at being a fake leader. 45 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:11.120 I mean that's subjective, but yes, but yes, So let's 46 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.360 just talk about what's going on here, because that's enough 47 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.560 of that. I'm sorry, but. 48 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.919 Let's start this a better way. 49 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:25.840 Hi baby, Hi, Hello, Other than dystopia. It's been a 50 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.280 good couple of weeks, I know, right, We've been busy. 51 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:35.039 Yeah, we've gone places and done things and met people, 52 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.199 and yeah. 53 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.719 We've been out a couple of times to dance related events. 54 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:48.240 Yes, we were fortunate enough to get to see Rennie 55 00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.719 Harris pure movement in the culmination of his three year 56 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.719 residency at Penn Live Arts. Yes World premiere work called 57 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.360 Losing My Religion, and uh. 58 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.319 You cried, I did? I did? 59 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.840 I mean, I'm saying you like I didn't. It was, 60 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:12.639 it was it was. 61 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.240 Very deep, deep moving. Yeah, and I just decided to 62 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.279 be with the peace in real time because you know, 63 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.639 it wasn't all exactly spelled out for you, right, but 64 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:32.240 here is a seasoned professional telling a story essentially without words. 65 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.800 Yeah, basically for me, it was why like I said, 66 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.319 I I saw it at first anyway, as uh, we're 67 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.560 looking at people in hell because they're like living this 68 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:55.759 ongoing cycle, and the cycle was struggle, violence, mourning, protest, 69 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:02.160 media attention, then back to normal struggle violence. 70 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.839 Well, right, but I you know, you're the one who 71 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.439 said the hell metaphor if anything this way, that we're 72 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.639 living as hell here on earth. Now, I didn't see 73 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.360 it as a metaphor at all. I saw it acted out, 74 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.680 reality acted out. 75 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.879 So all is how different? 76 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:21.480 Is that? 77 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:22.240 Actually? 78 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.800 Very because you know, our reality as hell is happening. 79 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.439 That's my point all around us. So my point was 80 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.079 that what my point is. It wasn't a metaphor, but 81 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.519 it was good. I mean, you know, it was very 82 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.759 worth seeing. It was, you know, something to be there. 83 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.600 There were two performances and yeah, we got to see 84 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.959 the second one. Are they doing anymore with it? Or 85 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:47.680 that was that? 86 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.160 I mean, I'm sure once the residency is over and 87 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.120 they go back to touring, we'll start seeing these pieces 88 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.519 out in the wild. 89 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:03.319 Yeah it was I again very sparingly used the word immersive, 90 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.439 but that was yeah. 91 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:14.000 And and Pure Movement is known for the prolific performances 92 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:19.480 of its dancers uh in the genre of hip hop 93 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.519 and street dance, like these are always gonna be the 94 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:28.240 top tier in the styles. And the culminating section of 95 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:34.079 the work was the uh, the uprising section, and it 96 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.160 was too like fierce and funky, like house music, and 97 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.800 it hit different than than it normally would in their 98 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:47.879 performances because yes, you're you're you're vibing to the intensity 99 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.839 of the movement and there and the dynamics of of 100 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.800 their of the performance. But because it's not meant to 101 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.680 be joyful, because it's an active protest, it hits in 102 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.319 a different place and so like it's cathartic without being 103 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.959 without that sense of joy necessarily, And that was a 104 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.079 different viewing experience for me. 105 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.800 I enjoyed it, Yeah, enjoys the strong world, but I 106 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:21.399 did enjoy that. You know. Again, yes, these are fantastic dancers, 107 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.040 and what they were able to do with their bodies 108 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.720 and together was phenomenal, and so that talent was very 109 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.519 much on display, indeed. But yeah, there was a point 110 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.160 at which it was just like, oh my god. Yeah, 111 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.800 it was a lot impossible not to just feel it, 112 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:37.600 the weight of it. 113 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.759 Yeah, and you've gotten to see a bunch of his 114 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.959 work by this point, so you've gotten this in the 115 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:46.279 what was. 116 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.560 The end of a three part a three year residence residency. 117 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.680 That's were you familiar with Pure Movement before we went 118 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.639 and saw them the first time. The first year of 119 00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.040 the residency. 120 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:02.199 I thought that was the second time we saw them. 121 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.399 I thought I thought the first year of the residency 122 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.160 was actually the second time we saw Rennie Harris. I 123 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.560 could be wrong, but I felt like I had seen 124 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.160 the work before, but maybe not. But I have gone 125 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.240 each year for the last right, we went and. 126 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.439 Saw Lifted, so that was would have been before that. 127 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.519 That one was really good. It was all house music, 128 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.439 but the ending kind of got on my nerves because 129 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.439 it felt like they were saying the devil gave us COVID. 130 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:31.600 That was that one. 131 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.399 That wasn't that was the first one. 132 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.879 No, the first year of the residency was the retrospective. 133 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.159 It was all because I remember the one about COVID 134 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:40.559 and it was kind of yeah. 135 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.679 It was chill, not in love with that one. It 136 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.799 was good till the ending. The ending kind of ruined it. 137 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.519 Yeah, it was, yeah, but you know, it's this conspiracy theory, 138 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.080 that's something. It did read like that a little bit, 139 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:53.720 a little bit. 140 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.399 And you know, I've seen a lot of Rennie's work 141 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.480 over the years and it bes that way sometimes sometimes 142 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.120 like I'll like eighty five percent of it and then 143 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.840 one part of it I'm like, eh, you've done better. 144 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:14.279 It sounds like your whole relationship with black people, dah, 145 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:19.799 eighty five percent of it just it's I mean, I 146 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.519 wish I could give away people eighty five percent. I can't. 147 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.080 Some days I can't gept them. 148 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.279 Eight eight to five. 149 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:31.759 We also saw Quan Young. 150 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:39.440 Yes, we saw sadly the final performance of Kunjunglin and 151 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:44.639 Dancers Company. They went out with a bang. Their final 152 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.720 show was called Echo in Flame Fang Wong Awakens, and. 153 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.080 It was beautiful. It was gorgeous, mean beautiful. 154 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.919 It's always beautiful and gorgeous. 155 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:59.759 Which his work is, yeah, elegant. He uses what is 156 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.120 that like? What am I trying to say? Space and 157 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:08.080 pause and absence as much as movement, Yeah, you know, 158 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.320 in such a beautiful way. 159 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:17.559 Yeah, Like it's always visually striking. And then the movement 160 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:24.679 is always like at at times it's very athletic and 161 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.759 and and and virtuosic, and at times it's very like 162 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.159 subtle and minimal. 163 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.320 Yeah, and what a sweetheart. And he was in the 164 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.960 lobby when we walked him running over and hooked me. 165 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.480 I was like, oh, he has such wonderful energy, always 166 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.240 has yeah. 167 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.759 And I was so grateful, Like so the second half 168 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.039 was the world premiere of the new work, but the 169 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.679 first half was repertory, and I was so grateful that 170 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:53.879 they opened the show with Pilgrimage, which is like easily 171 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.200 one of my favorite pieces. And I've told you about 172 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:01.840 this piece like unasked many times. 173 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.559 The simplicity of it is part of the elegance. Yeah, 174 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.320 because apparent simplicity. 175 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.679 Right, because really all they do is travel from the 176 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.240 upstage corner of this of the stage to the downstage corner, 177 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:20.240 repeating movements. But that's like the most minimal explanation of 178 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.639 description of it I can give. 179 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.120 Yeah, because what I saw was nothing like those words. 180 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.679 I mean, it was exactly like those words, but nothing. Yes, 181 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:34.240 it's a very minimal description, right. I wasn't prepared, yeah, 182 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.559 for just how lovely everything was. It was. It was 183 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.000 a lovely, lovely evening. 184 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:43.000 I'm always I love how they use the voice within 185 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.080 the choreography.

And 187 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.240 I imagine it's got to be cathartic as a performer 188 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.000 because you get though it's not often that you get 189 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.919 those moments in dance where you get to like be 190 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:02.679 that vocal. 191 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:08.080 Yes, true, Yeah, exactly, it makes sounds. 192 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:09.480 Yeah, lots of ha. 193 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.600 I'm just we you know, were just actually just still 194 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.840 talking about what we did. It's just I feel, you know, 195 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:21.360 I feel the need to prove that there are still 196 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:27.639 Americans with culture exactly, and we're so sorry read to 197 00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:29.759 star Oh god. 198 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:30.360 Uh. 199 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.360 The No King's Rally, which we are hearing now, something 200 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:40.000 like eight million people participated in around the globe. We 201 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:45.840 were there in Camden, New Jersey, indeed Wiggins Park, and 202 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.799 I spoke at the rally. 203 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.080 Yeah, and the main reason we were there was because 204 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:57.000 you were a speaker. I was, and you rocked that ship. 205 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.759 Thank you, thank you. Is that on our website? I 206 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.360 think it is. Yeah, the YouTube of the what is it? 207 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.120 I think it's entire might be have gone seven minutes. 208 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.200 But it's a really quick Yeah, well it's seven minutes 209 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:16.440 because I included her intros. Okay, So which was you know, 210 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.159 significant and substantial? 211 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.919 It was you know, supposed to be four yes, So 212 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.399 I tried to keep it to four ish, but I 213 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:28.759 didn't time pauses because you never know are you going 214 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.840 to need them? And I needed a couple. 215 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.320 So because folks had reactions. 216 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.759 They did they did. And the saddest part is the 217 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:42.440 angle you were angled to the side where there were 218 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.679 very few people because it's a very steep hill right 219 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.799 and and that's where the crowd was right Dead's center 220 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.200 d up with the stage, so there were a lot 221 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.399 of people there. You can hear them from the like 222 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:59.840 there are two there were there were more than that, 223 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.720 and you can hear them. So yeah, no kings and 224 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.759 I would do it again. Yeah, I would do it again. 225 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.799 Brought to you by our local Indivisible chapter, which is 226 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.919 Cooper River Indivisible. And yeah, I appreciated that they asked me. 227 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.960 It came from a pea Flag meeting that you know, 228 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.639 I was running and a good friend who was my 229 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.519 guest speaker that night, our guest speaker that night, said 230 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.360 what do you do on Saturday?

I would narrate the opening 233 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.080 of an envelope if I thought it was useful, So 234 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.039 I tried to be useful. I also spoke on Transgender 235 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.080 Day of Visibility at super Er. Yes you did, America. 236 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.840 I loved doing that. 237 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.559 That was a great event and not. 238 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.320 Just because they paid me, not just because they're not 239 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.840 no right, but because this suber is a corporation in 240 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:09.720 the US that has doubled down with DEI. They've embraced 241 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.320 that part of their identity. And yeah, you know, as 242 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.600 many of us now, a whole lot of lesbians strive supers. Yeah, 243 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.360 a lot of queer strives, but especially our lesbians love 244 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:25.480 their supers. And it was a beautiful day. They did 245 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.759 a walk around their parking lot, which is vast. I mean, 246 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.799 it was a big long walk around their facility which 247 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:36.799 is also huge. But what a lovely, warm crowd. And yeah, 248 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.879 so I got to do that too, And once again 249 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.200 you rocked that ship. Thank you. You posted that as well. 250 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.559 Yeah, I posted. I posted about the event on our 251 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:55.240 Instagram uhh and full circle the pot and but you 252 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:59.320 can see the video of the Subaru, the teet of 253 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.840 speech and the no King speech on our website and 254 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.399 full Circle theepod dot com. 255 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.919 And we can link to them in the episode notes. 256 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.279 Yes for today, Yes cool. 257 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.519 The Rooted Inequality Conference is coming up in the twenty 258 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.720 first of April. I just confirmed I'll be a panelist 259 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.320 on day one. There's an intergenerational panel. 260 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.320 You are just booked in Blessed I know. 261 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:28.399 Right, this hosted by Garden State Equality. So I'm excited 262 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:32.279 about that. I'm excited for what that conversation might be 263 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.000 because it's not just a panel talking, but it's a 264 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.600 panel talking with the audience, right. And we've got high 265 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.120 school kids. Oh I love that, you know, all the 266 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.600 way up to my old ass and probably beyond. 267 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.080 So intergenerational, Yeah it is. 268 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:52.080 And I that's something you know, I think is so important. 269 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.480 Oh yeah, And you know, it's one of the things 270 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.679 that I think works so beautifully with the Transformation Collective, 271 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:02.679 which is you know, the call Elizabeth and I run 272 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:10.799 together because everyone's there together as siblings talking. But we've 273 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:18.079 got a lot of generations represented, you know, and I 274 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.359 think it's an important perspective. I think we need to 275 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.079 know who our elders are, and we need their perspective 276 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.319 on queer life and trans life, and we need to 277 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.039 listen to the youngsters coming up and hear what they 278 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.960 have to say about the world that they're entering, the 279 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.960 world we handed them well, that we're handing out. Yeah, 280 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.200 it's important to know what they're thinking because I remember 281 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.240 just how terrified I was on so many fronts in 282 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.640 the early eighties. Yeah, the selective service notice kicked it 283 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.279 off when I turned eighteen. That was terrible, you know, 284 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.319 and there was this this disease going around that we 285 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:01.720 knew nothing about, and in particular gay men, We're just 286 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.079 dropping like flies. It was a difficult time to come 287 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:09.759 of age. And I would have killed well for a 288 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.200 conversation like this, right, you know, to have sat with 289 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.279 a bunch of a bunch of folks, and especially the 290 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.519 elders who you know, every time I talk about the past, 291 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:25.000 I'm like, this is not our first pandemic, right, the COVID, 292 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:31.720 because we lived through the eighties and there's too many similarities. 293 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.480 And you know, it was actually refreshing to see that 294 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.799 when when it's happening to CIS had people that you know, 295 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.640 how quickly vaccines came out and everybody's paying attention and 296 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.240 all of a sudden, that is not how it went 297 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:48.160 down in the eighties. Job, not a bit, not a bit. Yeah, 298 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.680 we we had to scream. We didn't just have to 299 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.839 beg and cry and die. We had to get loud 300 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.359 and embarrass people into action. I wonder you know, I've 301 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.119 thought about that recently. I'm working on now. I'm writing 302 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.720 a talk that I'll be doing in May, and I've 303 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.759 thought about that idea of could we even shame these 304 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.839 motherfuckers at this point? You know, because do they have 305 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:16.640 any I mean, I know that they are delicate little flowers. 306 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.759 They they're they're made of paper, and yet it doesn't 307 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.359 keep them from lying, it doesn't keep them from you know, 308 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.559 being ridiculously audacious with their their words, and it seems 309 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.960 like there is no bottom for these people. Maybe that 310 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:36.200 was the wrong choice of word. 311 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:39.799 Let that go, but. 312 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.839 Right, you know, the bar is in hell and they 313 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.559 keep digging for us. So I just had that thought 314 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.000 and I made a note about it. You know, it 315 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:56.240 was a different time in that Republican politicians could be 316 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.759 embarrassed and Democrats as well, but we're still talking about 317 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.920 books then and now, you know that you could shame 318 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.319 them into action. I'm not sure how that would work, 319 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.599 because look at what's going on right now. They have 320 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.119 no shame, they have no decency, they have nothing, nothing. 321 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.319 They're barely human. 322 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:20.000 Right We've even tried setting their things on nothing. 323 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.960 I know, I know. So the talk that I'm talking 324 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.599 about is May Sewi and it's called Lies, Damned Lies 325 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.920 and Statistics, which I believe was a Mark Twain quote. 326 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.119 But I had to come up with a title, and 327 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.279 I went, that'll fit. I can make it fit. And 328 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.240 that's in Medford, New Jersey at the United Methodist Church, 329 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.039 which is an affirming congregation.

Nicholas Brendan passed away at fifty four. Nicholas 386 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.160 Brendan was He played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 387 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:27.960 That's your era, right, Yeah. 388 00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:33.119 I was a huge fan of the Buffy the Vampire 389 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.319 Slay series, and I Xander was one of my little 390 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.240 TV crushes. 391 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.400 You know. 392 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:46.119 He was just like the goofy, straight dude, but he 393 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:51.200 was like a good guy, and Okay, he was always 394 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:53.960 there ready to like take one for the team and 395 00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.359 get his ass kicked for his his and he had 396 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.440 like mostly female friends who were who could all kick 397 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.359 his ass any given time. But it didn't stop him 398 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:06.880 from jumping in the way if the moment arose, right 399 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.240 then yeah, And as far as we know, like he 400 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.519 just died in his sleep of natural causes. 401 00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.480 Really at fifty four, that is very young for that 402 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:20.920 to happen, I'm saying, yeah, that is very young. Rest 403 00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:27.559 in peace, Rest in peace. Man. So the next one 404 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.480 has been reported in so many ways, and. 405 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:36.519 This is also from the end of last month. 406 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:43.000 Right at the end of last month, Chielle Diamond Sanchez 407 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:49.680 McCrae was killed in Virginia. We know that she competed 408 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.960 in many drag pageants and was a title holder in many. 409 00:25:55.000 --> 00:26:00.880 She was forty two. Yes, now I believe we are 410 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:07.240 talking about a black trans woman, yes, who was also 411 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:13.480 a drag performer who was shot and killed Petersburg, Virginia. 412 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.640 The reporting of this, even in queer news, has been 413 00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.400 all over the place, right, and who in the hell 414 00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:22.759 I think it might have been the advocate wasn't who 415 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:28.000 quoted the family right that she was misgendered in the beginning. 416 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.400 I think the first fucking time I've ever heard this, 417 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.359 she was misgendered as a trans woman in the beginning, 418 00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.920 but her family said that was inaccurate. I just want 419 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:45.359 to say almost always, probably always, the family is the 420 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:52.400 least accurate narrator in death. Yeah, you want to know 421 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.799 who the person was, talk to their friends. 422 00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.680 Right, And it was her friends who supported the narrative 423 00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:01.880 of her being a trans woman, right. 424 00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:03.559 And there is a quote from I believe it was 425 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.160 twenty twenty one where she talks about her transition. 426 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:07.799 Correct. 427 00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:13.559 So the part that bothered me was seeing a correction. 428 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.119 I'm trying to move from where we didn't link to 429 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:22.759 the article, and maybe that's for the best, but again 430 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:28.799 it was it was definitely a queer news outlet correcting 431 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.319 the fact that this was a trans person. I think 432 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:36.960 that now there's enough, and I did wait. She was 433 00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:43.319 also known as Mabel. Her friends called her Mabel, and 434 00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:46.559 in twenty twenty one, Mabel reflected on the trials and 435 00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:51.519 tribulations I had to go through when I transitioned. Okay, 436 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.119 gay men who are just drag queens don't transition. Correct, 437 00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.200 that's not a thing. It's not a word that applies. 438 00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.240 So you know, I think it's reasonable to say that 439 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:10.279 a black family didn't accept the transport, right, and yeah, 440 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:11.319 that happens. 441 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:12.920 Because we've seen that happenings that they're black. 442 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.799 But you know, her family looked at the whole thing, 443 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.400 was not accepting. We we saw this with your best friends. 444 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:23.640 That's what I'm saying. We've seen this with queer CIS people, 445 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.440 where you know, there's the person that we know and knew, 446 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.319 and then there's the story that the family wants to 447 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:36.720 I mean the married lesbian if we're speaking specifically, Yeah, right, 448 00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.519 but we knew it married lesbian and mom and dad 449 00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:44.160 went all the way back to childhood to eulogize and 450 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.480 talk about right in the fucking past or read her 451 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:55.599 fucking Facebook bio. Yeah, yeah, that's the case. 452 00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.599 I mean, that was the only like thing that sort 453 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:05.960 of remotely went to what they were saying, because you've 454 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.480 missed a couple of weddings in there for one thing. 455 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:11.200 Right, that's the part that one of the parts that 456 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.880 really pissed me off because they they you know, said 457 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.240 she was dada da da da da da da da, 458 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.240 And I was like that sounds familiar? Why does that 459 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.079 sound familiar? And then later on I looked at her 460 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.759 Facebook and that was her fucking bio word for goddamn word, 461 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.880 Like you didn't know her right, right? But what do 462 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.839 you expect when you know the family referred to her 463 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.160 wife as the woman that lives in my daughter's house. 464 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.359 Exactly exactly, And that's what happened. And just a note 465 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.960 to journalists, if you know at a queer fucking news outlet, 466 00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.880 don't quote the family right. Where trans people are concerned, 467 00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:52.279 you go talk to their friends, right, go talk to 468 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:55.119 the people they worked for, even in the clubs. Before 469 00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.880 you talk to mom and dad who are a grieving 470 00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.599 the death of their child, but b are the ones 471 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:05.480 who are most likely to miss gender right. It bothered 472 00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:07.440 me a lot because I just kept looking back and 473 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.039 forth and got you know, this is not back in 474 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:17.200 the day. Back in the day, things were looser unless 475 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:23.119 we didn't have the language right, So Marcia p pay 476 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:25.200 it no mind, Johnson. You know, if we want to 477 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.680 talk about Marcia, and you know, did she use her 478 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:30.680 birth name at home with her family or she did? 479 00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:35.200 She did? She was a queen if anything, probably though 480 00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.079 Randy Wicker says, you know, if we really would have 481 00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.920 the terminology she probably we probably would have called her 482 00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.799 a trans woman, right, but that you know, she didn't 483 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.240 self identify quite in the same way Sylvia did. And 484 00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:54.079 you know, so there's room for interpretations where I'm going, 485 00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:57.319 this is not that right, This is not we're not 486 00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:58.920 living where we don't have the words. 487 00:30:59.359 --> 00:30:59.599 Right. 488 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.359 No one talks about transitioning unless they transition. 489 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:11.359 Right. If everyone outside of the house, everyone outside of 490 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.839 the house, has one version of you. 491 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:20.599 And they're calling her she, right, But this particular paper. 492 00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:25.400 Used he, right, And the only version that refutes that 493 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:30.559 is that story being told inside of the house. That 494 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:31.960 seems pretty cut and dry. 495 00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:37.440 To me, right, right, because normally what happens is we're 496 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.839 misgendered initially and then it's corrected. 497 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.359 Right. 498 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.240 This is saying that she was initially called a trans 499 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:49.599 woman and that was she she He was being misgendered 500 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.079 because his family said no, no, no, no, he just 501 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.200 did drag right, he wouldn't trans. 502 00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.240 Which says to me that the family threatened a lawsuit 503 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:00.640 if they said anything different. 504 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:04.039 Well maybe, but that's bullshit, because I agree, you can 505 00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.319 back it up, but that's not who you go to 506 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:09.599 I agree. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the You know, 507 00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:12.359 we know a lot of loving and supportive families that 508 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.759 do get it right before also seen them get it 509 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.839 wrong more than off more. I have a jar pen 510 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:22.599 thank you, which is a whole story. But yeah, this 511 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:30.279 was upsetting because it was queer press, right, who should 512 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.880 fucking know better? Who should know better? Who should know better? 513 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:41.519 And among y'all you decided, well, they must know. How 514 00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:50.079 many lesbians get buried in pretty gowns? How many gay 515 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:54.039 men we didn't you know died and the partners not 516 00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:57.640 mentioned and the whole life goes away. I mean, that's 517 00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:01.640 what happened, you know with your friend talk about she 518 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:04.519 was in her forties, right? 519 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:04.920 Yeah? 520 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.200 Or were you all just turning? No, you're all just turning? 521 00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.880 What forty three? Is that forty or forty forty four? 522 00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.839 Maybe I would have to go to count the pat 523 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.720 have to count the pennies. 524 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.200 Yeah, we should probably tell that story because it makes 525 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:24.480 no sense without telling the story. But we went to 526 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.240 the funeral and we went out to eat afterwards, and 527 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.359 it was I would say, her closest friends, right, you 528 00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.039 and the two or three that were very close friends, 529 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.519 and y'all were talking about just what a travesty this 530 00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:42.920 funeral was. It was it was a joke. You know, 531 00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.279 this was a lesbian. We knew her exactly right, thank you? 532 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:51.119 Whose wife was in the fucking room? Yeah, but not 533 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.319 acknowledged in the program, not acknowledged in any of it. 534 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:57.160 What they put her in, like a lavender fucking pinafore 535 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.319 was not the. 536 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.839 Only part that we accurate was the lavender part. 537 00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:06.880 Right, but not the style of it. Looked like she 538 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.480 didn't she wouldn't have. She did not own that. I 539 00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.880 don't think. Yeah, I think they chose that. And it 540 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:22.480 wasn't too long after the funeral that and that's where 541 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:26.719 I think we started talking about we should host a 542 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:32.519 memorial for her actual friends and invite her wife and 543 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.039 celebrate the life that was not the life that her parents. 544 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:37.880 Right, And we did that at our bar. 545 00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:43.159 But we write the pennies were before the pennies made 546 00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:49.639 the decision. Yeah, no, that was after what what now? 547 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:55.280 Because you started finding pennies. We went to the funeral, 548 00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:58.000 we said it was an atrocity. We floated the idea 549 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.760 of a memorial, and then everyone went back their lives 550 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:06.199 and you started to find random pennies right. 551 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:10.079 This laying its member now, yeah, the bar. Yeah. 552 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.880 And on the third day or so, you said, this 553 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.840 is her. 554 00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.440 Yeah, and then right, because they were they all seemed 555 00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:24.960 very randomly placed, but intentionally placed, right, And they would 556 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:27.039 be in places that like I would be the only 557 00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.960 one in the bar and I'm cleaning, and it would 558 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.199 be in a spot that I had just cleaned, and 559 00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:32.800 it'd just be. 560 00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:35.440 Like and there there were john place. I mean, this 561 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:39.320 is this is some this is some what the fuck shit? Right, 562 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:44.599 because we weren't doing it and there was no human involved. 563 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.159 I mean, even if a human was placed, because we 564 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.239 found some outside too, not the one's inside because the 565 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:56.440 bar was locked overnight and there's pennies in the morning 566 00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.679 that weren't there when we closed. Right. So anyway, you 567 00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:03.719 did set because y'all were turning. It's forty three or forty. 568 00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:06.920 Four, I think, I want to say forty four. 569 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.679 And you both had a birthday near each other, yes, 570 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:11.119 And you said she. 571 00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:13.639 Was always twelve days older than. 572 00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:15.239 Me, and I never let her forget it, right, And 573 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:20.480 you said, if this stops at forty four, right, it's 574 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:24.400 her yep. And you know because because we're turning forty four. 575 00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:27.800 And and I said that to you and only you, right. 576 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:35.679 And I think we found forty three and I sat 577 00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.440 down on the bench outside and damn if there wasn't 578 00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:40.719 a forty fourth one right there on the little ledge. 579 00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:42.559 And that was the last one we found. 580 00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.800 And that was the last, the last penny, and then 581 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:49.639 no more. And they were some on the step. There 582 00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.639 would be three in a row on the steps. Yeah, 583 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.400 they were just. 584 00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:56.840 They were placed where they would be found, right, but 585 00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:57.599 not easily. 586 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:01.320 And we were discovered advertising that was happening, and it 587 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:05.320 kept happening in places that even if somebody was fussing 588 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.400 with us, right they how would they have known? How 589 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:10.199 would they First of all, they wouldn't have gotten in 590 00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:14.840 the bar, a locked bar, Yeah, and you know, could 591 00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:17.320 they have left them outside maybe? But where they were 592 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:20.079 left was just so random. And then the thing that 593 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:24.800 was beyond was they stopped at forty four. Yeah, that 594 00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:28.320 was it. Yeah. And then we planned and held a 595 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:33.039 memorial and included her wife. We never found another penny, No, 596 00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:35.159 but we have we have the jar. 597 00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.760 I mean I found pennies the way you want pennies, 598 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.119 but not like did not feel the same at all. 599 00:37:41.239 --> 00:37:43.400 No, that was a that was a period of time 600 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:50.880 and they were uh, you couldn't miss them. But they 601 00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.480 all felt intentional. But again, there were enough of them. 602 00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:58.159 There was no way somebody like it, just unless you 603 00:37:58.199 --> 00:37:59.360 were doing it right. 604 00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:00.519 And I was not right. 605 00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:03.079 You were the only one that could have been. Yeah, 606 00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:05.840 I don't and we would have held a memorial because 607 00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:08.119 you said so. You would didn't have to leave pennies 608 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.119 and freak me out, right, So we when I. 609 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:13.760 See change, I just put in my pocket. I don't 610 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.840 place it intentionally anywhere. 611 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:20.199 But you know, you knew that kind of right away 612 00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:23.280 because y'all were so connected, right and so close, and 613 00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:26.079 you said, this is what's happening. And she wants us 614 00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.440 to do what we said we were going to do 615 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:31.400 because that did not honor her life, right, and it 616 00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:38.000 left her spouse out in the cold. Yeah, I mean 617 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:42.480 she was allowed to be present and that was it. Yeah, 618 00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:45.440 And so we did and it was lovely, you know, 619 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.199 but yeah, we still have those forty four pennies. It 620 00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:53.360 fucking matters to us. And you're rarely going to get 621 00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:58.679 an accurate depiction of especially a queerer trans person's life 622 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.360 by asking their parents. Unfortunately, and you know this, this 623 00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.559 human was forty two. I'm going to say the parents 624 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.280 are at least in their sixties, which is very young. Yeah, 625 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.079 or seventy, which at this point you should know better. 626 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:21.239 But maybe that was reality to them, right. Maybe she 627 00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:28.639 never actually chose to say yo, right, could be, could be. 628 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:34.199 But that doesn't mean a man died, correct, correct, And 629 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.519 it doesn't mean that you know, a major creerent news 630 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.079 source should be listening to the family above, the friends above, 631 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:51.360 what was possible to know publicly and again quotes of transition. 632 00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:56.000 So rest in power Shale. Yes, she did bring a 633 00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.440 lot to the community. She did work for the community, 634 00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:03.760 and you know, used our art form not just to 635 00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:10.440 win pageants but in support of the community. Exactly. Yeah. 636 00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:14.920 So I want to take a break and we'll come 637 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:18.679 back with good news. Yeah, we'll be right back. 638 00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:40.760 And we're back, We're back. 639 00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:46.760 I love always to focus on the responses to bullshit. 640 00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:51.079 So right at the top of good news, I wanted 641 00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.519 to share the billboards that are all over Kansas right 642 00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:58.519 now that say God made trans people you. They hit 643 00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:03.639 the Kansas Highway after the state revoked trans People's IDs 644 00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:08.199 and this was the end of march. Organizers with Mayday 645 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:13.159 Health say The message is meant to affirm trans kansins 646 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:18.000 as state policy moves to erase them from public life. 647 00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:20.840 This is abhorrent to what they're trying to do or 648 00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.679 what they are doing in Kansas. It is. You know, 649 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.840 there are those who are saying, we're just they're trying 650 00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:31.400 to walk us right toward genocide. Yeah, taking away ID. 651 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.400 I talked about that a little bit. I talked about 652 00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.079 that a little bit at super I said, you know, 653 00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:39.239 I don't know if y'all have thought about how unsafe 654 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:42.719 this makes trans people, right, having to produce an ID 655 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:47.599 that outs them every time they need an ID, not 656 00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:50.320 to mention what it does to you psychologically, not to 657 00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:53.440 mention what it does to your spirit. But that's the point. 658 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.239 Cruelty is the only point they have. Right. 659 00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:59.639 So people aren't meant to live with this much a 660 00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:04.199 drug in coursing through their bloodstream at such a steady rate. 661 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.920 Right. So this is a four week campaign. It spans 662 00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:15.320 major corridors in Kansas City, Topeka, and wichital seven billboards 663 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:19.880 should reach more than one point two million drivers over 664 00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:24.480 the month. I just love the response, you know, not 665 00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:29.679 that it won't be dismissed, but good right, because yeah, 666 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:34.000 if there's a God and God created people. God created 667 00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:39.039 trans people period, period, and I think maybe we're here 668 00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:42.960 to make y'all find yourself and Jesus. I don't know, 669 00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:48.199 but something would be nice. The Kansas governor, you know, 670 00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:50.920 who had originally vetoed this shit and then you know, 671 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:57.320 the red legislature over rode, apologized to a transactivist who 672 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:01.719 was practicing civil disobedience in the capital. Ban activist Samantha 673 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:08.159 Boucher used a women's bathroom three times intentionally to trigger 674 00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:14.599 a misdemeanor under Kansas law, and she got an apology 675 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:18.719 from Governor Laura Kelly. She was pushing them to like, 676 00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:20.199 how are you going to enforce this shit and what 677 00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:20.800 are you going to do? 678 00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:21.320 Right? 679 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:26.280 So, I mean, good for her, but SB two forty 680 00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:30.320 four is the law pushed through by Republicans in February 681 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.199 that bans trans people from using bathrooms and government buildings 682 00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:36.880 that match their gender identity. So she made sure she 683 00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.599 went in there not once, not twice, but three times 684 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:45.119 and had a law enforcement officer with her at the time. Great. 685 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.519 Yeah, a better apology would be banning the law. 686 00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:53.519 Yeah, she told the governor, I appreciate your veto, but 687 00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:57.840 again it was overridden by the Republican supermajority. So it's 688 00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.920 kind of like a supermajority of Republicans might not be 689 00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.519 a good idea, right. I am very sorry that you 690 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:09.800 and others are being put in this situation, the governor said. 691 00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.880 Boucher walked away and shouted, and now we will see 692 00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:19.079 if the Attorney general chooses to enforce the law. Boop. Yeah. 693 00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:24.599 Her going into the restroom was witnessed by Capitol police officers. 694 00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:29.119 Police took her to a private room and later told 695 00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:33.079 a news outlet that they were investigating the situation but 696 00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:38.159 would not take legal action at this time. Two violations 697 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:41.239 may result in a one thousand dollars civil fine, according 698 00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:44.920 to the law's text, while a third may be charged 699 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:48.800 as a Class B misdemeanor. That's why she went in 700 00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:52.960 a third time. Now. What I hope to have accomplished 701 00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:57.320 here and in whatever I've become embroiled in as a result, 702 00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:00.800 is making sure that the nation doesn't forget that this 703 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:07.119 is happening here. This law is unprecedented, and it cannot 704 00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:11.159 be allowed to stand because the domino effect that it's 705 00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:17.119 going to have across the country is going to be profound, Kansas, 706 00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:20.960 we get scrappier when you put us against a wall. 707 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:25.079 But you know, to go and keep going. Mm hmm. 708 00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:28.079 You know, our resolution is only going to come through 709 00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.920 Congress and the courts at this point. And that's why 710 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:36.719 we need to make sure midterms occur that bar yeah, 711 00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:42.360 and and uh, control of our countries is arrested away 712 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:48.199 from these these just sick, villainous people. Moving on. 713 00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.920 New data shows a vast majority of American support trans rights. 714 00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:57.360 That's good to know. 715 00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:02.519 I know, despite all these bills, and I've been saying this. 716 00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:04.960 This is a new survey of over one thousand respondents. 717 00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:08.440 Eighty five percent of Americans believe that transgender people should 718 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:12.000 have the same rights and protections as everyone else. The 719 00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:15.440 sentiment was agreed upon by ninety two percent of Democrats, 720 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:21.079 seventy six percent of Republicans, and eighty seven percent of 721 00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:27.000 independence there's your voters, right, there's your your populaces. This 722 00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:31.280 is what people are saying, right. Yeah. The survey was 723 00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:36.760 conducted by SSRs and funded by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. 724 00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:41.360 It also found that over four in ten Americans now 725 00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:44.559 know a trans person, which has arise from just one 726 00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.559 in three in previous surveys. While twenty seven percent of 727 00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:51.519 Americans say that they regularly have conversations with trans people, 728 00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:56.199 Previous research has shown that knowing a transperson corresponds with 729 00:46:56.360 --> 00:47:00.280 increased support for trans issues unless you're hiring us, yes, 730 00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:04.639 I know, for your dirty deeds, and anyway they know 731 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:09.440 a transperson. At least there's coin. A large majority of 732 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:12.679 Americans agreed that trans people should be able to access 733 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:17.000 the healthcare they need eighty nine percent, be protected from 734 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:22.000 employment discrimination that's seventy nine percent, and protected from discrimination 735 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.920 and harassment in schools eighty three percent of respondents. 736 00:47:26.039 --> 00:47:26.599 That's a lot. 737 00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:30.440 Yeah. Notably, a majority of Republicans believe that trans people 738 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:34.599 should be protected from discrimination in both harenas as well. 739 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.199 Oh those are those same Republicans I hear about. 740 00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:43.519 So when are we going to be tired enough of 741 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:48.039 the actual pedophiles and the actual rapists and sexual offenders 742 00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:50.760 trying to say that we're the ones to be afraid of, Like, 743 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.119 when are we all going to go? You know what, 744 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:56.400 stop right? I think we're doing that we've seen, you 745 00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:58.840 know the results that we're seeing even in deep red 746 00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.800 areas where people are using their primaries and losing their 747 00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:04.599 seats is indicative of what's going on. They've had it 748 00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.880 with this that they'd actually maybe like you to govern, 749 00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:12.039 that would be nice and leave trans people alone. 750 00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:13.280 That'd be great. 751 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.960 Yeah. I mean, and I've said this, it's a twisted benefit, 752 00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:21.599 but the more they talk about us, the more you 753 00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.840 have the opportunity to get to know actual things about us, right, right, 754 00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:28.800 The more you have access to facts about us, the 755 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:31.519 more fact checking there is, the more studies are actually 756 00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:36.000 being funded. So we'll talk about some that shouldn't be Yeah, 757 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.159 how about it. Amazing people want you to knock it off. 758 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:45.559 And medical decisions should be made, you know, especially for minors, 759 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:50.639 should be made between a parent and the healthcare expert, 760 00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:55.480 the doctor, because I want these Republicans to start seeing 761 00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:57.800 a plumber every time they have a medical issue. Right, 762 00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:00.639 If they're going to keep fucking with us and listening 763 00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.760 to our doctors, I don't think they should have access 764 00:49:03.840 --> 00:49:07.199 to them, right, Yeah, I think we should send them 765 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:09.760 to a politician and I don't know, have a little 766 00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:12.840 surgery kit that we give them when they take their 767 00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:17.599 congressional oath. Why not makes as much sense, doesn't it? Yeah? Yeah, 768 00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:20.320 I said they should stop playing doctor and I met it. 769 00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:25.679 Here's something you probably never thought you'd hear me say. 770 00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:34.840 Uh oh yay, Georgia What Every single bit of anti 771 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:41.320 LGBTQ legislation in Georgia was defeated as their twenty twenty 772 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:48.679 sixth session ended. Bamn yeah, the executive director of Georgia 773 00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:53.599 Equality said, scapegoating lgbt Q plus Georgian's is not a 774 00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.079 winning political strategy. 775 00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:57.119 Exactly. 776 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:01.800 Wave after wave of anti LGBTI swept through Georgia this 777 00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:05.719 legislative cycle, but according to one state civil rights organization, 778 00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:10.480 every single one of them failed. After a late night 779 00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:13.159 at the capitol to finish out the twenty twenty six 780 00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:17.199 legislative session. We could not be more excited to share 781 00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:22.360 that we did it. We successfully defeated all of the 782 00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:26.599 nearly fifteen pieces of anti LGBTQ legislation. 783 00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:31.360 And that was Georgia Equality on Blue scot and not 784 00:50:31.480 --> 00:50:36.920 just in Atlanta. So Georgia Equality tracked twenty five hundred 785 00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:41.119 Peach State residents who contacted their legislators and nearly four 786 00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:44.880 hundred who trekked to the capitol to fight for LGBTQ 787 00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:48.719 rights over the last few weeks. This session. We stopped 788 00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:53.159 every bill targeting LGBTQ Georgians, even in spite of underhanded 789 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:58.039 political maneuvers, said Jeff Graham, the group's executive director, in 790 00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:02.800 a statement last week. Thousands of Georgians from over sixty 791 00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:08.159 counties came together to successfully defeat every last one, despite 792 00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:12.320 state leadership fixating on restricting LGBTQ plus rights as their 793 00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:15.199 core priority over the past years. We made it clear 794 00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:19.880 that scapegoating LGBTQ plus Georgians is not a winning political strategy. 795 00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:23.480 Bitch, I added the bitchmark, Yes you did. There was 796 00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:26.239 HB fifty four, which began as a bill on home 797 00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:30.519 health care workers, only to be hijacked by Republicans and 798 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.280 twisted into an attempted ban on puberty blockers to treat 799 00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:37.920 transgender youth. This is what they do. This is what 800 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:41.280 they do. There was the Riley Gaines Act. She's got 801 00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:42.320 shit named after her. 802 00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.960 I know, well, they gotta have something that you know. 803 00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:46.599 Never mind. 804 00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:53.599 The Riley Gaines Act is that's scratching your sores ooh, 805 00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:57.639 named for an anti transactivist whose political career was launched 806 00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:01.360 after tying for fifth play. We can't say it often 807 00:52:01.480 --> 00:52:04.280 enough in a college swim meet. Yeah, I was gonna say. 808 00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:06.519 The only Riley Gains act I know is losing and 809 00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:07.519 then bitching about it. 810 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:11.320 Yeah. That bill would have forced trans students out of 811 00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:14.840 the changing rooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. 812 00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:18.920 There was SB seventy four, which could have criminalized librarians 813 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:24.280 who provided LGBTQ books to minors. Let's see other measures 814 00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:27.679 that tanked included a forced outing bill for queer students, 815 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:32.800 a drag ban, and a bill to create an exemption 816 00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:38.360 for non affirming parents and caretakers to abuse transuse. Go Georgia, 817 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:41.039 Yeah really, go Georgia. 818 00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:48.679 I I can't put. I can't wrap my mind around 819 00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:54.039 being in favor of harming children like I just can't. 820 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:56.079 I can't either, And that's what they're doing. But they 821 00:52:56.159 --> 00:53:00.199 label it saving them, right, and they have convinced, you know, 822 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.280 the people that follow them, no matter what they say, 823 00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.639 and forget about all you know, common sense, right, will 824 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:11.440 parrot this bullshit. Let kids be kids, Yeah, that's what 825 00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:15.440 we're doing, right, We're actually letting kids. The difference between 826 00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:19.440 us is we let trans kids be kids, right, because 827 00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:22.480 they tell us who they are. It's always gonna work 828 00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:24.400 that way. No matter what you jackals do. 829 00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:28.360 Right, it's not let kids be kids, but only in 830 00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:29.400 the way we want them to. 831 00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:32.000 No, so they label it as protection, but it's nothing 832 00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:35.840 but cruelty. Truly. Yeah, it is hard to wrap your 833 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:39.320 mind around it. Why are you so invested in my healthcare? 834 00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:40.679 What do you give a shit? 835 00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:41.239 Right? 836 00:53:42.239 --> 00:53:45.320 How am I affecting your life one little bit? Oh wait, 837 00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:47.880 if you can make an issue out of me, the 838 00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:52.000 fact that you know you're diddling children, I guess no 839 00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.840 one will notice. I guess while you pass laws against me. 840 00:53:55.239 --> 00:53:58.719 That's what's literally fucking happening in this country. And they 841 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:02.039 do their shit in the name of g Maybe I 842 00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:06.519 should start wearing a cross. You think that went home? 843 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:07.440 I don't. 844 00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:09.960 I was going to say I wouldn't do that. 845 00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:13.679 God knows they do. What are we watching? What's the 846 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:23.079 tea for? It is a great, great response to a 847 00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:28.039 check where across Let's see where are we? The UN 848 00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:37.199 overwhelmingly votes against US proposal limiting the definition of gender. Yay, right, 849 00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:41.039 and of course they did. The United Nations have overwhelmingly 850 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:45.119 voted against considering a proposal from the United States, of course, 851 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:49.119 that would ask UN members states to define gender as 852 00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:53.599 referring only to men and women. The US introduced the 853 00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.519 resolution on the final day of the UN's seventieth Annual 854 00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:01.800 Commission on the Status of Women it's Women's Rights Conference 855 00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:09.840 on nineteen March. On March nineteenth, I know because it's 856 00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:13.119 not an American publication. In a draft seen by the 857 00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:18.320 publication pass Blue, the US noted quote the many meanings 858 00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:22.039 or connotations of the term gender that have become common 859 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.079 in recent years and that are different from accepted prior usage. 860 00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:29.960 It claimed that the Beijing Declaration on Women's Rights from 861 00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:33.840 nineteen ninety five defined gender as such, but a letter 862 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:37.440 from the Women's Rights Caucus sent to delegates last week 863 00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:43.159 said that the Commission did not hold specific definition of gender. 864 00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:46.679 Why are people so afraid of a spectrum? 865 00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:54.280 Great question? Great question? When it came to the US's resolution, 866 00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:57.599 Belgium's representatives said that it was factually incorrect, of course 867 00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:02.480 it was, and that it attempts to right the Beijing Declaration. 868 00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:06.760 Belgium called for a no action motion to stop the 869 00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:11.079 proposal moving forward. A total of twenty three countries voted 870 00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:17.559 with Belgium, while seventeen abstained and just two Pakistan and Chile. 871 00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:20.719 Voted in line with the United States. 872 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:24.119 Okay, hey, okay. 873 00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:28.880 Some of the member states that abstained from voting, including Italy, 874 00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:33.559 did so as the United States failed to follow due 875 00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:38.719 process in presenting the motion, but noted that their national 876 00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:44.880 policies aligned with the US grand So yeah, it's a 877 00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:48.239 mixed bag, but at the end of the day, the 878 00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:50.159 UN made some goddamn sense. 879 00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:56.559 It's so weird seeing the US not being referred to 880 00:56:56.960 --> 00:56:59.920 as the shiny example of forward thinking. 881 00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:03.559 Well, we can't be when we have this in the 882 00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:06.320 White House, I know, And that's you know, and these 883 00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:08.320 are the people that pick our government and we have 884 00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:12.360 a bunch of unqualified yahoos running our nation. 885 00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:16.039 Because usually, see I'm used to, my brain is used 886 00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:22.679 to when a country sides against the US in terms 887 00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:29.039 of like you know, social change and innovation, Like they're 888 00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:31.639 the ones that are like on the wrong side of history. 889 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:33.280 Not anymore. 890 00:57:33.679 --> 00:57:36.519 It's so weird. We're in the upside down. 891 00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:41.400 While we are, but that's where we belong. With a 892 00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:45.920 president like this, with quote unquote leadership like this, I 893 00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:50.679 hate it here. Yeah, yeah, I'm waiting for another country 894 00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:54.760 to take out our dictator because we think because just 895 00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:56.800 this is the world that we're living in. They must 896 00:57:56.840 --> 00:58:00.679 be keeping him very very locked up for real mm hm, 897 00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:04.119 because we think we can go in and do whatever 898 00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:07.920 we want, which we've pretty much always thought. But we 899 00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:09.000 were showing her strength. 900 00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:10.480 They can't even take his phone away. 901 00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:14.679 Apparently not. This one was fun. 902 00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:22.360 Oh yeah.

I think it was an 981 01:03:23.079 --> 01:03:26.599 Idaho like Boise. They you know, said that they're not 982 01:03:26.639 --> 01:03:29.039 allowed to have Pride flags, so they painted all the 983 01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:33.280 flagpoles in Pride colors. Uh huh. I just love good responses. 984 01:03:33.599 --> 01:03:35.840 Yeah, I saw another one like, oh, we can't have 985 01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:40.760 the crosswalks, okay, fine, so the entire sidewalk they. 986 01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:47.119 Made, Yeah the sidewalk.

Yeah. 987 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:52.039 When the Disanta administration painted over a rainbow colored crosswalk 988 01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:55.440 outside of what used to be Paulse Nightclub where forty 989 01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:57.920 nine people were killed, that was kind of a lastro 990 01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:03.880 yeah m hm, and trans community members repainted the tribute themselves. 991 01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:07.719 Many other cities have attempted to stand their ground and 992 01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:12.280 resist the removal of the crosswalks. Though most have been removed, 993 01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:16.840 cities and businesses have gotten creative, installing rainbow bike racks, 994 01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:23.280 moving rainbow crosswalks, two sidewalks, painting private parking lots, yep, 995 01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:27.039 and even displaying rainbow laser beams in the night sky. 996 01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:32.239 Take that right. This is we gotta be creative, folks. 997 01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:34.440 We got to keep being who we are. 998 01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:38.719 And this is the thing that I really wish these 999 01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:44.039 motherfuckers would realize. It's like, you know, they think of 1000 01:04:44.119 --> 01:04:48.039 queer people as the shy kid they used to beat 1001 01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:50.360 up in high school, and they think that that's all 1002 01:04:50.400 --> 01:04:52.239 that they're ever going to be, just because they haven't 1003 01:04:52.239 --> 01:04:58.400 fucking grown an inch, oh sign power Exactly. It's like, 1004 01:04:58.559 --> 01:05:01.199 while you were busy trying to like everyone else, we 1005 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:03.599 were figuring out ways to be as creative is as 1006 01:05:03.679 --> 01:05:07.719 humanly possible, while you were stalking the halls looking for us, 1007 01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:12.039 we learned to be like resilient and resourceful and adaptive, 1008 01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:15.440 you know what I'm saying. It's like the whole time 1009 01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:19.880 you were like being set in your little cis had ways, 1010 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:22.719 we were learning how to navigate you, and you know what, 1011 01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:24.400 that made us smarter than you. 1012 01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:30.119 It did so and we're resilient, right and so much 1013 01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:32.119 less snowflaky exactly. 1014 01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:37.880 So it's like learn to just you don't even know 1015 01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:39.639 who your enemy is. 1016 01:05:40.639 --> 01:05:45.400 You think you do right right, Some Miami Beach is 1017 01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:49.800 basically putting in a big rainbow brick path in all 1018 01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:53.239 cost about one hundred thousand dollars. Ha mm hmm. But 1019 01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:58.239 the Miami Beach City Commission, Oh this is a quote. 1020 01:05:58.480 --> 01:06:03.119 When the state forced removed the crosswalk and there was 1021 01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:06.440 a crosswalk, there was a rainbow crosswalk right there. Anyway, 1022 01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:11.400 it was our straight allies on the Miami Beach City 1023 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:16.679 Commission who ensured our gay community would not be pushed 1024 01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:22.679 into the shadows. According to Commissioner Alex J. Fernandez, the 1025 01:06:22.719 --> 01:06:26.719 only openly gay member of the City Commission, I'm deeply 1026 01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:29.840 grateful to my straight colleagues for their leadership and upholding 1027 01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:35.000 the uncompromising values of love, compassion, and equality. It is 1028 01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:39.840 a powerful reminder that our allies will help us overcome 1029 01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:44.719 this moment. Yeah yeah, And we need you as long 1030 01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:47.920 as you're not an asshole. Okay. So what they're doing 1031 01:06:48.039 --> 01:06:52.000 is building a new version of the Rainbow Crosswalk in 1032 01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:56.679 Loomis Park near the original location on Ocean Drive and 1033 01:06:56.719 --> 01:07:00.320 twelve Street, and the display is made up of thirty 1034 01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:04.880 six hundred and six colorful pavers designed by Savino Miller 1035 01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:09.320 Design Studio, which will be placed brick by brick in 1036 01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:12.840 the park, followed by an unveiling said later this week. 1037 01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:14.519 So I assume it's already happened. 1038 01:07:14.840 --> 01:07:18.159 Yeah, yeah, where. 1039 01:07:19.519 --> 01:07:22.800 The new park display is meant to be permanent installation. 1040 01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:26.920 In February, the Miami Beach City Commission allocated up to 1041 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:31.199 one hundred twenty thousand from the city's twenty twenty five 1042 01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:36.760 year end surplus to design and install the replica crosswalk 1043 01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:41.360 in the park. You h project is expected to cost 1044 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:44.920 about one hundred thousand, and it will use both original 1045 01:07:44.960 --> 01:07:48.159 pavers and along with new ones to create a new 1046 01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:53.679 rainbow sidewalk, and there will also be a plaque explaining 1047 01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:57.920 the history of the display, and commissioner Joe Magazine has 1048 01:07:58.039 --> 01:08:00.760 pledged to donate benches to the park. 1049 01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:01.920 I love it. 1050 01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:05.679 Yeah, So if I can ever go back to floridaga 1051 01:08:05.679 --> 01:08:07.880 and I would love to see it. I know, I 1052 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:12.199 hope to be happy with pictures until then, right, but hey. 1053 01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:16.600 So the original crosswalk was at Ocean Drive and Twelfth 1054 01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:22.520 and Ocean Drive is arguably one of the gayest streets 1055 01:08:22.560 --> 01:08:23.279 in the country. 1056 01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:30.039 Yeah, no, shit. Try to drive at night without a 1057 01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.680 drag queen interrupting the flow. You can't as she's performing, right. 1058 01:08:35.800 --> 01:08:36.880 I know you. 1059 01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:41.319 Cannot, right, because you can try, but then one of 1060 01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.680 the staff from the bar will stop you, and then 1061 01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:45.560 she'll climb on your car. 1062 01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.520 There are people and businesses and places we adore in Florida. 1063 01:08:49.560 --> 01:08:51.720 We're still not going back while they have these hateful 1064 01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:54.880 laws in place, unfortunately, because I'm not safe there exactly. 1065 01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:58.359 I mean even in Miami Beach, because you know of 1066 01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:02.880 DeSantis's cruel. I want to know if I need emergency 1067 01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:05.479 medical assistance, I won't get a period, and I won't 1068 01:09:05.720 --> 01:09:10.239 necessarily get it in Florida. So hey, I hope it 1069 01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:18.880 really hurts your tourism anyway. Another lovely response. So I 1070 01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:22.640 added this as a category because sometimes I don't know 1071 01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:26.119 where to put things. So I have one story that 1072 01:09:26.159 --> 01:09:31.279 I'm just going to call water is wet Okay. The 1073 01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:36.960 largest physician organization in the United States reaffirms gender affirming 1074 01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:45.079 care is medically necessary. This came out on March twenty sixth. 1075 01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:49.880 The American Medical Association is setting the record straight on 1076 01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:54.960 trans people's healthcare, expressing its full support of keeping decisions 1077 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:59.439 in the hands of doctors, patients, and their families. The 1078 01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:04.319 American Medical Association, also known as the AMA, has reaffirmed 1079 01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:09.319 that gender affirming care for trans miners, including some surgeries, 1080 01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:14.359 is medically sound and that access to this life saving 1081 01:10:14.439 --> 01:10:20.039 care should not be impeded damn it. In their March newsletter, 1082 01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:27.239 the nation's largest physician organization stated its position unequivocally. Quote 1083 01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:32.199 the AMA supports gender affirming care as medically necessary per 1084 01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:38.640 our policy end quote. The letter further clarified that the 1085 01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:44.199 board does not endorse the controversial position statements from the 1086 01:10:44.239 --> 01:10:50.119 American Society of Plastic Surgeons, issued this past February.

Trump breaks a record 1196 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:31.880 as a new pole delivers a brutal verdict on his president. Say, 1197 01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:34.520 let's see what this says. I love the headline already. 1198 01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:37.920 I believe it's went something like this boom. 1199 01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:42.319 He reached an unwanted milestone once again. According to the 1200 01:18:42.399 --> 01:18:46.399 latest poll from the University of Massachusetts. Amherst found that 1201 01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:49.359 his approval rating has fallen to thirty three. 1202 01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:51.680 That still feels high. 1203 01:18:52.159 --> 01:18:54.640 It feels really fucking high, right, but it is in 1204 01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:57.760 fact the lowest rating since he returned to the White House. 1205 01:18:58.720 --> 01:19:01.760 It is a five percentage point drop from last July 1206 01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:08.239 and an eleven percentage point decline from last April. Uh huh. 1207 01:19:08.399 --> 01:19:12.479 His disapproval rating, meanwhile, stands at sixty two percent. 1208 01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:14.319 That feels low. 1209 01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:20.000 I know, I know, I think there's that percentage of 1210 01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:24.399 oh no, probably in this right. So so sixty two 1211 01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:27.800 and thirty three, what is that? So that leaves two 1212 01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:32.760 percent or something I don't know, Yeah, like two percent, 1213 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.279 which is you know, this is getting close to accurate, 1214 01:19:36.319 --> 01:19:41.119 because that's I think, maggot is you know, no more 1215 01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:45.960 than thirty percent of you know, the percentage of the 1216 01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:47.840 population personally. But what do I know? 1217 01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:50.239 I guess to me, it feels like a high number 1218 01:19:50.279 --> 01:19:52.239 because there's not a minus sign in front of him. 1219 01:19:52.279 --> 01:19:55.520 There should be a minus. I agree, I agree, but 1220 01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:58.359 it's fun every time it drops, and I know that 1221 01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:02.079 he notices every fucking time it drops. 1222 01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.119 I hope when they revealed the number, someone was blowing 1223 01:20:05.119 --> 01:20:06.000 a slide whistle. 1224 01:20:06.199 --> 01:20:12.960 Okay, so there's one more right, Yes, the slide whistle. 1225 01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:18.800 Here's a perfect place for it.

She did 1271 01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:04.159 give one fuck about the privacy of everyone she you know, 1272 01:24:04.359 --> 01:24:09.159 the families she tore apart, put into detention, all the 1273 01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:12.720 lies she told on Trump's behalf. She didn't she had 1274 01:24:12.760 --> 01:24:15.119 no compassion for anyone else. So no, fuck her and 1275 01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:19.319 her privacy and uh yeah, yeah, I hope this is 1276 01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:24.159 yet another reason you never have a job again. Truly, truly, 1277 01:24:25.159 --> 01:24:27.920 And the one thing I did see that came out 1278 01:24:27.960 --> 01:24:33.439 of this is Republican women find more gay men to 1279 01:24:33.560 --> 01:24:38.359 marry than gay men do. But this doesn't mean he's gay. 1280 01:24:38.560 --> 01:24:42.199 This is a kink, right, This is a it's a kink, 1281 01:24:42.680 --> 01:24:45.279 you know, I don't. I'm not saying that doesn't make 1282 01:24:45.319 --> 01:24:48.680 them a straight man, because usually these kinks follow around 1283 01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:53.239 with this man. Yeah, they've got them. It's the fact 1284 01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:56.640 that they hide them and then they condemn anyone else 1285 01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:59.000 who has them that makes this. 1286 01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:04.119 I was just laughing because I basically cracked myself up 1287 01:25:04.159 --> 01:25:06.359 because in my head I referred to him as a 1288 01:25:07.199 --> 01:25:12.319 cock guy titty have an ass, bitch. That just set 1289 01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:12.840 me off. 1290 01:25:14.880 --> 01:25:18.560 I think someone said. I commented on Alexander Billings post 1291 01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:22.920 and said you think you know him, but you really don't. 1292 01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:28.760 And Alexander said, you want the internet today? It was funny, 1293 01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:30.279 objectively funny. 1294 01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:33.279 Welcome to the stage, titty Askew. 1295 01:25:35.760 --> 01:25:40.319 There you go, that perfect drag name for this one again. 1296 01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:49.640 Sexual kinks, slash proclivities slash whatever you're into, uh whatever. 1297 01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:54.119 You know. The problem is that one of the reasons 1298 01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:58.920 people like this fight against us is because this is 1299 01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:01.640 how they see the word world as a kink and 1300 01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:05.520 a fetish and you know something that they sexualize, and 1301 01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:10.199 therefore they cannot imagine that's not how all of us live, correct, 1302 01:26:10.720 --> 01:26:14.920 And they cannot imagine that someone who was ostensibly male 1303 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:18.560 would know themselves to be female and do the work 1304 01:26:18.680 --> 01:26:23.319 of whatever transition to make themselves comfortable. They can't comprehend 1305 01:26:23.359 --> 01:26:28.039 that because their fetish doesn't have room for that. Right, 1306 01:26:28.960 --> 01:26:32.199 I'm big enough to say, have at it. You know, 1307 01:26:32.319 --> 01:26:34.159 the fact that your wife didn't know is no big 1308 01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:37.560 surprise to me because they usually don't, right, And I 1309 01:26:37.640 --> 01:26:39.279 doubt you have the kind of marriage where you can 1310 01:26:39.279 --> 01:26:42.760 be honest with each other because you're not honest with anyone. Right, 1311 01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:47.880 you're fucking liars. You're paid liars, and you've done so 1312 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.880 much your wife is anyway, and she's done more destruction 1313 01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:54.640 to this country than many, and she belongs in jail. 1314 01:26:55.079 --> 01:26:59.840 I just hope that her cellmate posts pictures of Hubby 1315 01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.880 on the wall with his balloons in his crop tup 1316 01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:05.279 her altcy. 1317 01:27:05.479 --> 01:27:07.560 And her vision will be fucked up if she tries 1318 01:27:07.600 --> 01:27:09.239 to look at them both at the same time. 1319 01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:14.600 Whatever, whatever. Yeah, the shutting for it is all on her, 1320 01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:18.840 but hey, if you're not doing it in secret in 1321 01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:21.119 the dark, then nobody can out you for you know what, 1322 01:27:21.119 --> 01:27:25.079 if you run and tell for yourself, it's over right. Yeah, 1323 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:30.600 that's power. This couldn't happen to a nicer gal. Right 1324 01:27:30.640 --> 01:27:36.159 after being fired from her cabinet position, from the cabinet 1325 01:27:36.159 --> 01:27:42.840 to hubby's closet, she went none of it. None of it. 1326 01:27:43.560 --> 01:27:48.720 I don't think a happy please. Yeah, I hope she 1327 01:27:48.800 --> 01:27:50.199 has the life she deserves. 1328 01:27:50.479 --> 01:27:53.720 That part, I feel that part is accurate. 1329 01:27:53.800 --> 01:27:58.600 And I hope there are more photos. Yeah, I hope 1330 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:02.520 I did that well because again, no kink shame, no 1331 01:28:02.520 --> 01:28:05.079 no king shaming, no kink shaming. And again, you know 1332 01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:07.640 I've said before, not a secret. The only time I 1333 01:28:07.680 --> 01:28:12.000 agree withouting someone is, you know, if by day their 1334 01:28:12.079 --> 01:28:15.880 work is to marginalize others. Lindsey Graham should be out. 1335 01:28:15.880 --> 01:28:18.880 And I'm waiting for the rent point it spills the tea. 1336 01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:25.359 I'm just laughing at the fact that your your nipples 1337 01:28:25.399 --> 01:28:29.119 remind me of of sweet pussy Pauline. One's looking at 1338 01:28:29.119 --> 01:28:31.600 the dresser and the other ones in the closet dough. 1339 01:28:33.520 --> 01:28:47.199 H And that's okay, that's not okay, that's okay. Oh shit, Yeah, 1340 01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:48.640 this has been your moment of. 1341 01:28:50.039 --> 01:28:53.920 Employ people taking pleasure. 1342 01:28:56.000 --> 01:28:58.640 So before we roll out to the break, Uh huh, 1343 01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:06.560 do you have a fifteen minute save? I yell, Okay, 1344 01:29:06.600 --> 01:29:07.720 this is a song. 1345 01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:13.359 That I liked for a few years, but it didn't 1346 01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:16.600 It hit me different when I was hearing it in 1347 01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:17.960 the car the other day. 1348 01:29:18.239 --> 01:29:18.520 Okay. 1349 01:29:19.000 --> 01:29:24.119 It's a song from twenty fifteen, actually, and I first 1350 01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:28.079 encountered it when it was used on A World of Dance. 1351 01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:33.560 It is wild Things by Alessia Kara, and you know it. 1352 01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:37.760 It's a cute, poppy ass song on the surface, but 1353 01:29:37.840 --> 01:29:40.920 then I actually listened to the lyrics and it just 1354 01:29:40.960 --> 01:29:44.920 seems appropriate for like the way I feel now. It's like, 1355 01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:49.159 you know, everything about us goes against what you think 1356 01:29:49.199 --> 01:29:54.159 we should be, and our way is better, and so fine, 1357 01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:57.560 find me over here.

So 1368 01:30:33.159 --> 01:30:36.920 gather all the rebels now, rebel house, and sing a 1369 01:30:36.920 --> 01:30:41.079 loud We don't care if they say no way, no way, 1370 01:30:41.880 --> 01:30:45.039 and we believe the empty chest to those who say 1371 01:30:45.119 --> 01:30:51.840 we can't sit this find all by ourselves. So we 1372 01:30:52.039 --> 01:30:54.640 brought our drum, and that says, how are we dance? 1373 01:30:54.800 --> 01:30:57.479 No mistaken?

You tell me 1379 01:31:31.560 --> 01:31:34.600 to tread, I've gotta be whre want instead. 1380 01:31:54.239 --> 01:31:56.560 And we're back, clear back. 1381 01:31:59.079 --> 01:32:04.119 It's time, I know, for the cavalcade of nonsense, and 1382 01:32:04.439 --> 01:32:08.800 boy is it nonsense. This week I'm going to start 1383 01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:16.319 with the same dark money behind Project twenty twenty five 1384 01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:25.039 is bankrolling a Northwestern study recruiting trans kids. They should 1385 01:32:25.079 --> 01:32:28.199 send a chill up everyone's spine. And I say, if 1386 01:32:28.239 --> 01:32:30.159 there's a trans child in your life, I hope you 1387 01:32:30.239 --> 01:32:35.479 stay far away from this, recruiting them for what let's 1388 01:32:35.680 --> 01:32:40.560 let's keep going. They project twenty twenty five outright calls 1389 01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:45.800 on conservatives to fund and manufacture more studies on the 1390 01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:52.039 negative effects of transforming care. They're trying to write their producer, 1391 01:32:52.119 --> 01:32:55.560 it's the cast report, it's you know, they're producing shit 1392 01:32:55.680 --> 01:32:56.479 that's not real. 1393 01:32:56.600 --> 01:32:58.760 Right, the makeup ship and then go look what we found. 1394 01:32:58.800 --> 01:33:03.039 And apparently Northwestern is their bitch right now. Far right 1395 01:33:03.119 --> 01:33:07.439 dark money has been financing fringe research organizations that purport 1396 01:33:08.119 --> 01:33:12.279 to undermine the evidence backing gender firming care. Among those 1397 01:33:12.359 --> 01:33:18.239 beneficiaries is the Gender Dysphoria Institute, which is recruiting trans 1398 01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:26.680 use and their parents for aya GDS IOGDOS, the Adolescent 1399 01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:32.039 and Young Adult Gender Dysphoria Outcomes Study. Wow, they have 1400 01:33:32.119 --> 01:33:36.319 an agenda. It's not a good one. Right. There's a 1401 01:33:36.399 --> 01:33:38.880 place that they are going with this. It's not a 1402 01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:42.520 good place. And I hope the word spreads as fast 1403 01:33:42.680 --> 01:33:47.960 and as furiously as it possibly possibly can. Yeah. Doctor 1404 01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:51.880 Michael Bailey, who is a psychology professor at Northwestern University, 1405 01:33:52.439 --> 01:33:57.199 especially known for his widely rebuked book of quote Original 1406 01:33:57.319 --> 01:34:01.399 Research a depicting trans women as sex raised men who 1407 01:34:01.479 --> 01:34:05.680 are uniquely well suited to prostitution, is one of the 1408 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:12.079 leads in the study. Yeah. So the public facing rhetoric 1409 01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:17.239 says that they're seeking to promote evidence based information about 1410 01:34:17.319 --> 01:34:21.600 gender dysphoria. They're lying, Yeah, they're lying. They have a 1411 01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:26.560 predetermined conclusion and they will stuff any information that they 1412 01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:30.800 gather into that conclusion. That's what's going on here, and 1413 01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:35.479 it's disgusting. It is just like Project twenty twenty five 1414 01:34:35.560 --> 01:34:39.119 and the Heritage Foundation. They are a big chunk of 1415 01:34:39.199 --> 01:34:41.560 what is wrong with America right now. Yeah. 1416 01:34:41.920 --> 01:34:44.520 It is both disgusting and very much on brand. 1417 01:34:44.680 --> 01:34:50.800 Yeah, so beware what else we got. Portugal. Yeah this 1418 01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:54.399 is kind of heartbreaking because you know, on that fantasy 1419 01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:58.439 list of countries where I'm safe, Portugal's been at the 1420 01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:02.199 top of that list, I know. Yeah, glad we didn't 1421 01:35:02.239 --> 01:35:03.039 pack right. 1422 01:35:04.279 --> 01:35:09.359 Portugal advances three sweeping bills targeting trans rights. 1423 01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:10.680 Yeah, this is. 1424 01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:15.319 Towards the end of last month, Portugal's parliament voted to 1425 01:35:15.399 --> 01:35:19.359 advance three sweeping bills that would significantly roll back transgender rights, 1426 01:35:19.840 --> 01:35:23.680 marking a sharp shift for a country long scene as 1427 01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:29.960 a European leader on gender identity. Protections. Yeah by US included. 1428 01:35:29.600 --> 01:35:33.680 Yeah, backed by the center right governing coalition and for 1429 01:35:33.920 --> 01:35:37.880 right lawmakers. The proposals would ban gender firm and care 1430 01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:41.880 for trans youth, require adults to obtain permission from a 1431 01:35:41.960 --> 01:35:45.800 medical team before changing their name or sex marker on 1432 01:35:45.920 --> 01:35:51.720 civical documents, and limit discussion of gender ideology and schools 1433 01:35:52.239 --> 01:35:56.119 for under eighteensm Your. 1434 01:35:56.199 --> 01:35:59.920 Critics of the measures say they echo recent policies see 1435 01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:04.600 in the United States targeting trends people. The bills pass 1436 01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:08.359 their first reading by a wide margin and now move 1437 01:36:08.439 --> 01:36:12.640 forward in the legislative process. It's not the first time 1438 01:36:13.319 --> 01:36:17.640 that people have used the US as a model for 1439 01:36:18.119 --> 01:36:19.760 their fascist leanings. 1440 01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:23.840 Yeah. While these bills still face committee review at a 1441 01:36:23.920 --> 01:36:27.359 final vote, and they could ultimately be vetoed or challenged 1442 01:36:27.399 --> 01:36:32.720 in court, their advancement signals a major political shift in 1443 01:36:32.840 --> 01:36:37.600 the country. Chilling, upsetting, And I guess it's one that 1444 01:36:37.800 --> 01:36:39.960 you know, I'm sure it'll be followed and will follow it. 1445 01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:45.279 But how heartbreaking, I know, Yeah, how heartbreaking. It's kind 1446 01:36:45.319 --> 01:36:48.119 of why I'm staying here and fighting for as long 1447 01:36:48.199 --> 01:36:50.520 as I possibly can, because you know, there is no 1448 01:36:50.720 --> 01:36:54.640 guarantee anywhere in the world with dis you know, the 1449 01:36:54.840 --> 01:36:58.640 cancer of the lies being spread. You never know who's 1450 01:36:58.640 --> 01:37:00.439 going to pick them up and run with them, right 1451 01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:05.239 and why or when? Yeah? And you know, Portugal I 1452 01:37:05.319 --> 01:37:08.279 thought was proud of being a safe place for trans people. 1453 01:37:09.279 --> 01:37:13.199 Guessing not and equally heartbreaking. We have listeners in Portugal 1454 01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:17.439 and so you know, just know that our hearts are 1455 01:37:17.520 --> 01:37:20.199 with you. And yeah, I hope they don't pass because 1456 01:37:20.239 --> 01:37:21.880 it's the kind of thing we're seeing here and it's 1457 01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:24.319 not good for anyone's mental health and it's all based 1458 01:37:24.359 --> 01:37:27.319 in lies and we know it exactly. Yeah, I am 1459 01:37:27.359 --> 01:37:29.720 sorry this is happening to you because you live somewhere 1460 01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:35.600 you thought you were ye, same, right, So girl Guiding, 1461 01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:38.279 which is I want to say it's the Girl Scouts 1462 01:37:38.359 --> 01:37:43.239 in the UK. I think they set a September deadline 1463 01:37:43.399 --> 01:37:46.359 for trans girls to have to leave after they have 1464 01:37:46.560 --> 01:37:51.039 been banned the fuck. Yeah, they must leave by September sixth. 1465 01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:55.079 The deadline comes after the December twenty twenty five decision 1466 01:37:55.119 --> 01:37:59.560 to stop allowing trans youngsters from joining groups as part 1467 01:37:59.640 --> 01:38:03.399 of it's updated inclusion policies. Why don't we call them 1468 01:38:03.479 --> 01:38:06.560 exclusion policies because that's what they are. Thank you? Yeah. 1469 01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:10.720 In the fallout of the Supreme Court's judgment that the 1470 01:38:10.840 --> 01:38:14.239 twenty ten Equality Acts definition of a woman refers to 1471 01:38:14.399 --> 01:38:21.159 Bob Wade sex only, Girl Guiding announced late last year 1472 01:38:21.760 --> 01:38:26.239 that with a heavy heart my ass, trans girls and 1473 01:38:26.359 --> 01:38:29.000 young women would no longer be able to join groups. 1474 01:38:29.680 --> 01:38:31.800 I'll give you enlarged, but I doubt it's heavy. 1475 01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:40.520 Yeah, so that's how long they have. The decision effects 1476 01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:46.199 trans members of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers, and young Leaders. 1477 01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:51.399 They have also said that volunteer roles open to quote 1478 01:38:51.520 --> 01:38:55.479 women only will no longer be offered to trans women. 1479 01:38:56.199 --> 01:39:01.880 So it's any trans girl or who is currently volunteering 1480 01:39:01.960 --> 01:39:04.920 in a role open to women only will need to 1481 01:39:05.039 --> 01:39:09.880 move to a role open to everyone. By September sixth, 1482 01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:17.399 m M advocacy group Transplus Solidarity Alliance said inclusive organizations 1483 01:39:17.439 --> 01:39:21.239 being bullied into excluding people against their will is a 1484 01:39:21.359 --> 01:39:24.960 profound failure of this government to live up to its 1485 01:39:25.079 --> 01:39:29.479 promise to the trans community. Ah yeah, yeah, this news 1486 01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:33.279 will be heartbreaking for the children and volunteers leaders that 1487 01:39:33.560 --> 01:39:37.520 hold Girl Guiding together to fix the problem that doesn't 1488 01:39:38.119 --> 01:39:46.920 exist that part without anti trans law fare. Yeah like warfare, 1489 01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:50.640 but fucking with the laws right, law, fair, love it, 1490 01:39:51.159 --> 01:39:51.439 hate it. 1491 01:39:52.239 --> 01:39:52.840 Yeah that part. 1492 01:39:54.359 --> 01:39:57.920 Although our membership approach has changed, our belief in dignity, 1493 01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:02.479 respect and inclusion has not. We will continue to work 1494 01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:12.680 toward a fair, more equal world for every girl. Bullshit, bullshit. Yeah, basically, 1495 01:40:12.800 --> 01:40:15.920 they've said, although we have decided to discriminate against a 1496 01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:19.399 tiny minority group, our belief and inclusion has not changed. 1497 01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:21.960 Uh huh Okay. 1498 01:40:22.279 --> 01:40:25.640 Someone in the comments of this article decided to post 1499 01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:29.840 the rules of a girl guide, the laws that they 1500 01:40:29.880 --> 01:40:34.720 abide by. A guide is honest, reliable, and can be trusted. 1501 01:40:35.479 --> 01:40:38.800 A guide is helpful and using it right and uses 1502 01:40:38.880 --> 01:40:44.319 her time and abilities wisely. A guide faces challenges and 1503 01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:48.800 learns from her experiences. And this one the person who 1504 01:40:48.840 --> 01:40:51.720 posted it injected their own words. A guide is a 1505 01:40:51.760 --> 01:40:54.119 good friend and a sister to all guides and in 1506 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:57.399 the parentheses, apart from the ones we've just chosen to ostracize, yep, 1507 01:40:57.840 --> 01:41:00.920 a guide is polite and considerate. A guy respects all 1508 01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:04.359 living things and takes care of the world around. 1509 01:41:04.039 --> 01:41:07.800 Her, except the trainees can go fuck themselves in die 1510 01:41:08.079 --> 01:41:13.560 that part. Yeah, Okay, that's why it's in Camel Kid. 1511 01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:15.039 Yeah India. 1512 01:41:16.760 --> 01:41:22.960 Yeah, India passes a limiting trans protection bill that redefines 1513 01:41:23.279 --> 01:41:25.039 who qualifies. 1514 01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:29.800 As trans Oh, how exciting. India's House of the People 1515 01:41:30.119 --> 01:41:32.520 has passed a new bill that limits the rights of 1516 01:41:32.640 --> 01:41:34.880 transgender people in the country. 1517 01:41:35.760 --> 01:41:39.279 This was past the end of last month. The Transgender 1518 01:41:39.359 --> 01:41:44.479 Person's Protection of Rights Amendment Bill twenty twenty six makes 1519 01:41:44.520 --> 01:41:47.720 amendments to the previous twenty nineteen law that pertains to 1520 01:41:47.800 --> 01:41:51.239 the rights and well being of trans people. The amendments 1521 01:41:51.319 --> 01:41:54.760 redefine who qualifies as trans people and therefore who is 1522 01:41:54.880 --> 01:41:58.319 protected by the law, and also introduces a new system 1523 01:41:58.439 --> 01:42:04.600 for identity certification and stricter punishment for offenses against the transcripts. 1524 01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:09.079 Get this ship. Under the new bill, a medical board 1525 01:42:09.680 --> 01:42:15.680 will be formed to determine identity, with district magistrates issuing 1526 01:42:15.840 --> 01:42:21.840 new ID cards to the trans people that qualify. Punishments 1527 01:42:22.239 --> 01:42:25.640 for those that cause harm to the protected trans people 1528 01:42:25.920 --> 01:42:30.560 will also be graded for different offenses, with the maximum 1529 01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:35.119 jail term for the most serious offenses increasing from two 1530 01:42:35.279 --> 01:42:41.159 years to fourteen What the fuck right? 1531 01:42:41.760 --> 01:42:42.239 Who is this? 1532 01:42:42.720 --> 01:42:47.359 What? Social Justice and Empowerment Minister words don't mean anything 1533 01:42:47.399 --> 01:42:52.680 in India either, obviously. Vernda Kumar explained that the rewriting 1534 01:42:52.760 --> 01:42:55.520 of the bill was to ensure that quote only those 1535 01:42:55.560 --> 01:43:00.960 who face social boycott due to biological issues were protected. 1536 01:43:02.079 --> 01:43:06.319 Uh huh, he said. To ensure that transgender persons can 1537 01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:08.560 avail themselves of the benefits of this act, it was 1538 01:43:08.640 --> 01:43:14.439 necessary to provide a precise definition. Uh huh bish, what 1539 01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:17.479 why do I think it involves? Fingering? 1540 01:43:17.920 --> 01:43:18.079 Oh. 1541 01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:23.479 Through the bill, the Indian government has insisted that transidentity 1542 01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:29.560 cannot be based solely on personal choice or claimed self 1543 01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:38.239 perceived identity, in case it is misused beyond its original intent, 1544 01:43:38.600 --> 01:43:41.880 in case, at some point in the future, maybe somebody 1545 01:43:42.560 --> 01:43:47.560 misuses that. Okay, let's see. The new bill has come 1546 01:43:47.640 --> 01:43:52.880 under fire good from opposition parties, which have argued that 1547 01:43:53.000 --> 01:43:59.039 the amendments undermine the right to self identification as recognized 1548 01:43:59.079 --> 01:44:03.079 by the countries the court. Mm hmm. If the bill 1549 01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:08.640 is for their welfare, why are they opposing on the streets. Hmmm, 1550 01:44:09.399 --> 01:44:18.159 good question. Yeah. Other opposition politicians have called the amendments draconian, agreed, regressive, agreed, 1551 01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:22.319 and a brazen attack on the constitutional rights an identity 1552 01:44:22.960 --> 01:44:28.000 of transgender people. Agreed, agree, agreed, right, right, right, Okay, yeah, 1553 01:44:28.359 --> 01:44:30.720 we're going back to gate keeping as fast as we 1554 01:44:30.880 --> 01:44:33.359 possibly can for no other reason than we want to. 1555 01:44:34.279 --> 01:44:37.359 So God knows what the tests look like. That's not 1556 01:44:37.479 --> 01:44:42.680 in the article I'm saying. I assume obviously fingering is involved. 1557 01:44:43.640 --> 01:44:48.479 And again, we have listeners in India, and I feel 1558 01:44:48.520 --> 01:44:50.560 like I'm just apologizing to everyone around the world that 1559 01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:51.319 listens to our show. 1560 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:54.199 Well, sorry, it's happening, but we can. Maybe we got 1561 01:44:54.239 --> 01:44:59.840 our own problems over here, so I hope yours resolves better. Yeah. Really, Again, 1562 01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:03.399 we're solving problems that don't fucking exist, right, fix and 1563 01:45:03.439 --> 01:45:08.640 shown name broke fucking exist like the Olympics. Yeah, let's 1564 01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:10.800 let's I think we're getting there. Let's create a role 1565 01:45:11.159 --> 01:45:15.239 based on oh, nobody nothing, not a problem, but in 1566 01:45:15.399 --> 01:45:19.720 case we don't want them trainees getting big ideas about. 1567 01:45:19.800 --> 01:45:23.279 It reminds me of being included when Ned Flanders was 1568 01:45:23.359 --> 01:45:26.760 yelling at Lisa Simpsons, Like Lisa Simpson the answer to 1569 01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:28.800 the question that nobody. 1570 01:45:28.520 --> 01:45:32.319 Asked, right, uh, this is right out of CNN house. 1571 01:45:32.479 --> 01:45:37.560 It's not just vaccines. Parents are refusing other routine preventative 1572 01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:42.000 care for newborns. Uh huh. All my hospital shows keep 1573 01:45:42.079 --> 01:45:44.960 showing this. Yeah, and then you cry because your kid's dead. 1574 01:45:45.520 --> 01:45:49.399 One day at an Idaho hospital, half the newborns that 1575 01:45:49.560 --> 01:45:53.359 the doctor Tom Patterson saw didn't get the vitamin K 1576 01:45:53.520 --> 01:45:57.439 shots that have been given to babies for decades to 1577 01:45:57.600 --> 01:46:03.520 prevent potentially deadly bleeding. On another recent day, more than 1578 01:46:03.560 --> 01:46:07.520 a quarter didn't get the shot. Their parents wouldn't allow it. 1579 01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:11.079 When you look at a child who's innocent and vulnerable 1580 01:46:11.239 --> 01:46:15.600 and a simple intervention that's been done since nineteen sixty 1581 01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:20.399 one is refused, knowing that baby's going out into the 1582 01:46:20.439 --> 01:46:24.159 world is super worrisome to me, Patterson said, yeah, he 1583 01:46:24.279 --> 01:46:28.399 has been a pediatrician for nearly three decades. Doctors crastination 1584 01:46:28.720 --> 01:46:34.800 are alarmed that skepticism, fueled by rising anti science sentiment 1585 01:46:35.520 --> 01:46:40.720 and medical mistrust. Thank you Republicans, Hello, thank you Maga hello, 1586 01:46:41.640 --> 01:46:46.600 is increasingly reaching beyond vaccines to other proven routine preventative 1587 01:46:46.760 --> 01:46:50.199 care for babies. They're killing their own children now, for 1588 01:46:50.359 --> 01:46:56.840 Christ's sake, right, Oh my god, it's like, I don't know, 1589 01:46:57.720 --> 01:46:59.880 I picture who were the two old men that you 1590 01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:02.279 used to sit up in the balcony at the Muppets, 1591 01:47:02.520 --> 01:47:06.039 Oh Statlin Walde, I'm picturing the two of them placing 1592 01:47:06.239 --> 01:47:09.600 bets on how many fucking Republicans can we get to 1593 01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:13.479 kill their own children and laughing like how because the 1594 01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:16.960 ones from coming to America right or no? No trading 1595 01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:19.399 places were like, weren't they similar? 1596 01:47:19.920 --> 01:47:20.319 Actually? 1597 01:47:20.960 --> 01:47:22.439 Yeah, one was one. Yeah. 1598 01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:24.359 I never made that connection until just now. 1599 01:47:25.199 --> 01:47:29.079 Well I'm picturing them too, Yeah, because Ralph Bellamy and 1600 01:47:29.199 --> 01:47:33.920 Donimici I think I think were the chew in the movie. Anyway, 1601 01:47:34.359 --> 01:47:37.239 I'm just saying I picture the Koch brothers, for instance, 1602 01:47:37.600 --> 01:47:41.920 sitting there making million dollar bets over just how stupid 1603 01:47:42.319 --> 01:47:48.520 right people really are. A recent study in the Journal 1604 01:47:48.560 --> 01:47:51.640 of the American Medical Association We Just Talked About Them, 1605 01:47:52.479 --> 01:47:56.119 which analyzed more than five million births nationwide, found that 1606 01:47:56.279 --> 01:48:00.279 refusals of VITAM and kay shans nearly doubled between twenty 1607 01:48:00.319 --> 01:48:03.439 seventeen and twenty twenty four, from two point nine percent 1608 01:48:03.760 --> 01:48:07.880 to five point two percent. Other research suggests that parents 1609 01:48:07.920 --> 01:48:11.680 who declined vitamincay shots are much more likely to refuse 1610 01:48:11.760 --> 01:48:16.119 getting the newborns the hepatitis B vaccine and an eye 1611 01:48:16.199 --> 01:48:25.840 ointment to prevent potentially blinding infections. Rates for that vaccine 1612 01:48:25.880 --> 01:48:29.680 at birth dropped in recent years. Doctors confirm more parents 1613 01:48:29.880 --> 01:48:33.680 are refusing the eye medication entiing. 1614 01:48:33.199 --> 01:48:37.159 Dicisions right now because there's conflicting information. 1615 01:48:37.439 --> 01:48:42.159 No, there's information and then there's fucking ridiculous liars. Right, 1616 01:48:42.279 --> 01:48:46.720 it's not that hard. You're an idiot, but you do 1617 01:48:46.920 --> 01:48:51.359 have the resident of the United States undermining established science 1618 01:48:51.479 --> 01:48:57.880 along with he put a heroin, a former in charge 1619 01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:02.000 of whatever the fuck Kennedy's in charge, Jeff Yeah, and 1620 01:49:02.479 --> 01:49:06.760 chaos ensues. Okay. Robert of Kennedy Junior, of course, is 1621 01:49:06.760 --> 01:49:12.439 an anti vaccine activist who belongs nowhere near the job 1622 01:49:12.560 --> 01:49:13.079 he holds. 1623 01:49:14.159 --> 01:49:17.199 I'm trying to figure out this conflicting information. So I guess, like, 1624 01:49:17.439 --> 01:49:22.840 if you say science is good and then I go nah, 1625 01:49:23.319 --> 01:49:27.000 and then someone says Charles said nah ah, then that 1626 01:49:27.079 --> 01:49:28.520 would be the conflicting information. 1627 01:49:29.079 --> 01:49:35.079 Mm hmm. There's an idea that natural is always better 1628 01:49:35.720 --> 01:49:40.840 than artificial, said doctor David Hill, a Seattle pediatrician and researcher. 1629 01:49:41.319 --> 01:49:45.279 Nature will allow one in five human infants to die 1630 01:49:45.880 --> 01:49:49.319 in the first year of life. Nature, yeah, which is 1631 01:49:49.479 --> 01:49:54.199 why generations of scientists and doctors have worked to bring 1632 01:49:54.319 --> 01:49:58.920 that number way way down. Vitamin K and other measures 1633 01:49:59.439 --> 01:50:04.880 proven serious problems. Babies are born with low levels of 1634 01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:09.840 vitamin K, leaving them vulnerable because their intestines can't produce 1635 01:50:10.039 --> 01:50:13.319 enough until they starting neeting solid foods at around six 1636 01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:17.560 months old. It's important for helping the blood clot and 1637 01:50:17.720 --> 01:50:22.880 preventing dangerous bleeding in babies, like breeding into the brain. Yeah, 1638 01:50:23.319 --> 01:50:28.199 uh huh. Yeah. Before injections became routine, about one in 1639 01:50:28.359 --> 01:50:33.920 sixty babies suffered vitamin K deficiency bleeding, which can also 1640 01:50:34.199 --> 01:50:40.039 affect the castro intestinal tract. Today the condition is rare, 1641 01:50:40.600 --> 01:50:45.319 but research shows newborns who don't get the shot are 1642 01:50:45.560 --> 01:50:50.199 eighty one times more likely to develop severe bleeding than 1643 01:50:50.279 --> 01:50:51.760 those who do not. 1644 01:50:55.600 --> 01:51:01.119 So when I heard nature allows five infants to die, 1645 01:51:01.159 --> 01:51:04.560 you know what that reminded me. I remember that politician. 1646 01:51:05.079 --> 01:51:09.760 They were having a conversation about women getting pregnant from 1647 01:51:10.399 --> 01:51:15.479 their rapist, and he said something like, the female anatomy 1648 01:51:16.199 --> 01:51:20.039 has a way to shut that down. Yeah, that's that's 1649 01:51:20.119 --> 01:51:23.039 giving kind of it's like, you don't know what you're 1650 01:51:23.079 --> 01:51:24.760 talking about when you say with such assertion. 1651 01:51:25.880 --> 01:51:28.720 Yeah, I mean, and the article, of course it's sanning 1652 01:51:28.760 --> 01:51:31.039 because I to say, these parents love their children, and 1653 01:51:31.119 --> 01:51:32.600 it's a little more complicated, and. 1654 01:51:33.880 --> 01:51:35.399 They love their children, but you've got. 1655 01:51:35.319 --> 01:51:39.800 People like they're bringing back diseases like I don't know, smallpox, 1656 01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:43.640 measles that you were all but eradicated because of this 1657 01:51:44.159 --> 01:51:50.960 baseless sphere, right, because of the whole bullshit nonscience idea 1658 01:51:51.399 --> 01:51:54.720 that vaccines cause autism as of autism is so bad 1659 01:51:55.079 --> 01:51:57.600 that I know a lot of autistic folks who are 1660 01:51:57.680 --> 01:51:59.439 having a good time with it. So none of them 1661 01:51:59.479 --> 01:52:00.760 have the fuck alone. 1662 01:52:00.840 --> 01:52:02.880 None of them have fucking polio and. 1663 01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:05.279 Right, but what they don't have is polio or you 1664 01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:14.119 know what, death right, So yeah, okay, for foxs sake. Yeah, Yeah. 1665 01:52:15.319 --> 01:52:17.479 One of the doctors said, I understand this is a 1666 01:52:17.520 --> 01:52:20.720 hot topic, and I don't want to disrespect anyone, but 1667 01:52:20.840 --> 01:52:24.239 at the same time, I'm desperately saddened that we're losing 1668 01:52:24.319 --> 01:52:27.159 babies for no reason. Yeah, me too, and I'm happy 1669 01:52:27.199 --> 01:52:31.840 to disrespect them. Right, you were not the scientists. And 1670 01:52:31.960 --> 01:52:35.159 I'm not saying we don't ever argue with doctors or 1671 01:52:35.600 --> 01:52:39.039 or advocate for healthcare, but it's gotten to an extreme 1672 01:52:39.560 --> 01:52:44.079 and it's gotten ridiculous and it's baseless. Right, it's baseless. 1673 01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:48.000 You're talking to your fucking doula or or or you know, 1674 01:52:48.399 --> 01:52:51.239 your girlfriend down the street who you fucking drink herbal 1675 01:52:51.319 --> 01:52:55.000 tea with? Not you know, the doctors who are trying 1676 01:52:55.039 --> 01:52:58.399 to keep your kid alive so they don't become a statistic, right, 1677 01:52:59.520 --> 01:53:03.319 and that Unfortunately, we're trusting those people more than we're 1678 01:53:03.359 --> 01:53:05.560 trusting like the scientists and shit, because that's what the 1679 01:53:05.640 --> 01:53:09.439 Republicans have been doing to our brains for low these 1680 01:53:09.680 --> 01:53:12.680 last ten years or so. You can't believe anything, so 1681 01:53:12.960 --> 01:53:16.319 I'm not. You know, Okay, I. 1682 01:53:16.359 --> 01:53:19.720 Don't understand why my baby is sick. I was humming 1683 01:53:19.840 --> 01:53:23.119 while facing east and drinking the homemade kombucha that my 1684 01:53:23.600 --> 01:53:27.880 crunchy blonde dreadlock having girlfriend up the way gave me. 1685 01:53:28.479 --> 01:53:32.720 Right, I don't, and God help us. You know, we 1686 01:53:32.880 --> 01:53:35.479 saw this with COVID. Remember the people that finally wanted 1687 01:53:35.479 --> 01:53:37.439 a vaccine but they already were sick and they couldn't 1688 01:53:37.439 --> 01:53:39.520 get it. It was too late and they died. Yeah, 1689 01:53:39.840 --> 01:53:43.600 because I'll have that vaccine now, Yeah right, maybe maybe 1690 01:53:43.640 --> 01:53:45.880 I should get it. Won't now, It won't help you 1691 01:53:46.880 --> 01:53:49.399 right now. It won't help you now that you're dying 1692 01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:56.479 and you have cut your life short and it was preventable. Nope, sorry, sorry, 1693 01:53:58.560 --> 01:54:00.079 Oh God, stupid should. 1694 01:53:59.840 --> 01:54:02.399 Her I mean it hurts the hell out of me. 1695 01:54:03.359 --> 01:54:09.199 So trans women athletes have been banned from the Olympics 1696 01:54:09.600 --> 01:54:15.119 by a new IOC policy on female eligibility. Charles, tell 1697 01:54:15.159 --> 01:54:17.640 me who's going to pay for this policy? It won't 1698 01:54:17.680 --> 01:54:20.039 be trans women. No, we're not even in the game here. 1699 01:54:20.319 --> 01:54:24.319 No sis women, sis women who don't fit in particular 1700 01:54:24.560 --> 01:54:26.359 standards that they think. 1701 01:54:26.239 --> 01:54:30.760 They should keep going, Like who tend to be, Oh. 1702 01:54:30.760 --> 01:54:35.960 Who tend to be? Usually African women. They're just the 1703 01:54:36.079 --> 01:54:37.640 black people. Let's just say black people. 1704 01:54:37.720 --> 01:54:42.159 Yep, that's who this is actually gonna fuck. Yeah, yeah, 1705 01:54:42.880 --> 01:54:46.159 way more than trans people, because we ain't even playing right. 1706 01:54:47.840 --> 01:54:50.600 There was not one in twenty twenty four. Not one, 1707 01:54:50.840 --> 01:54:54.720 not one, no one. This new policy aligns with Donald 1708 01:54:54.760 --> 01:54:58.239 Trump's Executive Order on Women's sports ahead of the twenty 1709 01:54:58.359 --> 01:55:01.079 twenty eight Los Angeles Games. Why are we following a 1710 01:55:01.119 --> 01:55:04.000 man who shits in a diaper on a good day? 1711 01:55:04.399 --> 01:55:08.520 On a good day? It is unclear this was ABC. 1712 01:55:09.439 --> 01:55:12.479 How many, if any, transgender women are competing at an 1713 01:55:12.520 --> 01:55:16.520 Olympic level. No woman who transitioned from being born male 1714 01:55:16.840 --> 01:55:20.840 competed as a twenty twenty four Paras Summer Games. Yeah, 1715 01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:25.199 not that one. Exactly, goddamn one, exactly. Let's keep pointing 1716 01:55:25.279 --> 01:55:25.600 that out. 1717 01:55:26.800 --> 01:55:28.640 That's why they're going to come after SIS women, because 1718 01:55:28.640 --> 01:55:30.319 they didn't have any actual trans women. 1719 01:55:30.119 --> 01:55:34.159 To go after. Yeah, we now have a solution waiting 1720 01:55:34.199 --> 01:55:41.239 for a problem. I guess, I guess. Yeah. This is 1721 01:55:41.399 --> 01:55:47.279 such bullshit. Indeed, it's such bullshit. And of course it 1722 01:55:47.359 --> 01:55:52.119 doesn't apply to men, and it doesn't apply to trans men, right, 1723 01:55:52.640 --> 01:55:59.159 It only applies to transgender women and will adversely effect 1724 01:56:00.119 --> 01:56:04.039 CIS gender women who have naturally higher testosteron levels. You 1725 01:56:04.159 --> 01:56:07.159 will be affected, You will be you know, they just 1726 01:56:07.279 --> 01:56:14.159 tortured to CIS women that they thought were trans quite recently. Yeah, 1727 01:56:15.279 --> 01:56:19.720 but let's have a new policy, right for twenty twenty eight, 1728 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:24.279 just in case, just in case, maybe just in cases 1729 01:56:24.600 --> 01:56:30.760 we never know or something. Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard did compete 1730 01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:34.199 at the Tokyo Olympics in twenty twenty one without winning 1731 01:56:34.800 --> 01:56:41.399 a medal. There's one five years ago. Oh dear god, 1732 01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:44.720 who didn't medal? I don't know. Maybe she came in 1733 01:56:44.840 --> 01:56:49.079 what fifth place? We're not allowed to do that either. 1734 01:56:49.920 --> 01:56:51.960 We won't know because she didn't make it into her 1735 01:56:52.119 --> 01:56:54.199 entire personality and tell us about it. 1736 01:56:56.960 --> 01:57:00.920 Oh, here's one. Before the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics, 1737 01:57:01.039 --> 01:57:05.640 three top tier sports track and field, swimming, and cycling excluded. 1738 01:57:05.880 --> 01:57:11.479 Three top tier sports track and field, COMMA, swimming, Comma 1739 01:57:11.800 --> 01:57:16.079 and cycling. They're the three excluded trans women who had 1740 01:57:16.119 --> 01:57:21.000 been through male puberty. Samenya, who was assigned female at 1741 01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.720 birth in South Africa and has high natural testosterone levels. 1742 01:57:25.119 --> 01:57:29.439 One a European Court of Human Rights judgment in her 1743 01:57:29.880 --> 01:57:34.760 years long legal challenge to Track and Field's rules, which 1744 01:57:34.880 --> 01:57:47.159 did not overturn them. Mark my words, Sis, women will 1745 01:57:47.199 --> 01:57:52.960 pay for this, and that's what we keep doing to 1746 01:57:53.079 --> 01:57:57.199 each other and the turfs that fuel this shit. Don't 1747 01:57:57.239 --> 01:58:00.279 you dare call yourself a feminist that part? Don't you 1748 01:58:00.600 --> 01:58:08.560 dare anyhoror? A bill to track transgender Tennesseans has passed 1749 01:58:09.439 --> 01:58:09.880 the House. 1750 01:58:09.960 --> 01:58:10.840 For fuck's sake. 1751 01:58:11.840 --> 01:58:16.239 Yeah, uh, Tennessee lawmakers, with nothing better to do, want 1752 01:58:16.359 --> 01:58:19.960 to track the number of transgender patients seeking gender firming care. 1753 01:58:21.399 --> 01:58:22.840 Why thank you? 1754 01:58:23.680 --> 01:58:28.920 Why? Amid a crowd of chanting protesters, the state House 1755 01:58:29.039 --> 01:58:35.319 passed legislation that would compile data on trans Tennesseans. State 1756 01:58:35.359 --> 01:58:38.319 troopers carried one protester out of the House Galley in 1757 01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:44.159 accordance with rules against vocal protests. Mm hmm, yeah. It 1758 01:58:44.159 --> 01:58:50.279 would also the bill expand healthcare coverage for people de transitioning. 1759 01:58:51.199 --> 01:58:55.239 Now you want to spend money de transitioning, Yes, which 1760 01:58:55.359 --> 01:58:59.960 doesn't fucking happen much and doesn't require funding. They'll expand 1761 01:59:00.000 --> 01:59:03.159 and healthcare coverage for people de transitioning, of which there 1762 01:59:03.199 --> 01:59:08.239 are so few if any, doesn't require anything but stuff anyway, 1763 01:59:08.960 --> 01:59:13.239 and requires clinics to report who is accessing gender affirming care. 1764 01:59:14.079 --> 01:59:17.600 Why on earth? The data, it says would be deidentified, 1765 01:59:18.199 --> 01:59:21.439 meaning the reports would not include names, social security numbers, 1766 01:59:21.520 --> 01:59:25.600 or geographical information. Don't trust that for a second. Collecting 1767 01:59:25.720 --> 01:59:28.560 data gives us the ability to study trends, outcomes, and 1768 01:59:28.640 --> 01:59:32.239 effectiveness of treatment without knowing who the patient is. 1769 01:59:36.199 --> 01:59:38.319 Why? Why? 1770 01:59:39.439 --> 01:59:47.880 No clue? Why see this? Jackass believes gender affirming care 1771 01:59:47.920 --> 01:59:52.920 will eventually fall out of fashion, motherfuck, and it's so 1772 01:59:53.079 --> 01:59:57.439 important to collect as much data as possible. I believe 1773 01:59:57.520 --> 01:59:59.680 that we as a society are going to look back 1774 01:59:59.720 --> 02:00:03.319 on this time that really burst out in twenty fourteen, 1775 02:00:03.920 --> 02:00:07.840 that's when you assholes started this shit and think, dear God, 1776 02:00:08.079 --> 02:00:14.439 what were we thinking?

Sis had white men going 1783 02:00:49.239 --> 02:00:50.359 to go out of fashion? 1784 02:00:50.760 --> 02:00:53.239 I wish it would. God, dear God, when are they 1785 02:00:53.279 --> 02:00:56.479 going to stop playing doctor with us again? I want 1786 02:00:56.520 --> 02:00:59.439 to choose their doctors. I want to choose what healthcare 1787 02:00:59.439 --> 02:01:02.560 they're allowed. And when I take away their Viagara, their 1788 02:01:02.640 --> 02:01:06.199 wives will thank me profusely, although I'm not sure their 1789 02:01:06.239 --> 02:01:07.960 boyfriends will be very happy about it. 1790 02:01:10.000 --> 02:01:10.439 That part. 1791 02:01:11.720 --> 02:01:15.119 A chaplain with the Tennessee Equality Project said she's worried 1792 02:01:15.159 --> 02:01:19.119 about being tracked by a legislature that passed a record 1793 02:01:19.159 --> 02:01:23.399 breaking number of bills rolling back protections for transgender Tennesseeans 1794 02:01:23.479 --> 02:01:28.279 in the past few years. No shit, yeah, h yeah, 1795 02:01:29.439 --> 02:01:32.479 get out of Tennessee. I got nothing better. Get the 1796 02:01:32.520 --> 02:01:35.680 fuck out of Tennessee.

The actor said he was very 1803 02:01:57.720 --> 02:02:01.199 attracted to the job security of playing dumbled Door, so 1804 02:02:01.560 --> 02:02:06.680 he will pretty much say anything, yeah to justify this 1805 02:02:06.920 --> 02:02:11.319 decisions count who what was the world according to Garp 1806 02:02:11.359 --> 02:02:16.319 where he played a trans woman, right, uh huh the 1807 02:02:16.479 --> 02:02:17.800 twisting in the wind. 1808 02:02:18.479 --> 02:02:21.399 He must have like a gambling debt or something because. 1809 02:02:21.159 --> 02:02:23.920 He's kind of have money from Third Rock.

Still got to backdub the 1821 02:03:06.880 --> 02:03:12.000 whole subject of Rallying's imputed prejudice. It came up after 1822 02:03:12.159 --> 02:03:15.960 everything was already underway. I'd already said yes, I was 1823 02:03:16.199 --> 02:03:19.039 urged to walk away, and I was not about to 1824 02:03:19.119 --> 02:03:22.199 do that. Right, So you were bending over backwards to 1825 02:03:22.600 --> 02:03:24.560 tell us why it's okay not to have a spine 1826 02:03:24.720 --> 02:03:26.520 or stand for any goddamn thing in the right. 1827 02:03:26.680 --> 02:03:28.640 I'm a sniffling bit. You lost money, just say that. 1828 02:03:29.159 --> 02:03:35.199 Yeah, Instead of going oh fuck and bowing out gracefully, 1829 02:03:36.239 --> 02:03:39.920 you told the New Yorker the reasons to do so 1830 02:03:41.239 --> 02:03:44.960 were much much stronger to stay than the reasons to 1831 02:03:45.159 --> 02:03:49.800 protest against what Ralling has done, and said, I do 1832 02:03:50.079 --> 02:03:53.760 disagree with much of it. Much of it I think 1833 02:03:54.119 --> 02:03:58.239 has been twisted and misrepresented, and. 1834 02:03:58.680 --> 02:03:59.600 Not the important parts. 1835 02:04:00.119 --> 02:04:03.239 She has doubled down on it at her own cost. 1836 02:04:03.479 --> 02:04:05.920 Is that a word salad? Or do I not know 1837 02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:07.199 what a word salad is? 1838 02:04:08.000 --> 02:04:09.800 And it's all wilted lettuce. 1839 02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:12.479 Yeah. He did not specify which of her views he 1840 02:04:12.600 --> 02:04:17.079 disagreed with or which he believed had been misrepresented, though 1841 02:04:17.119 --> 02:04:20.039 he said he was surprised and disappointed by the tone 1842 02:04:20.920 --> 02:04:25.039 of her social media post. Uh huh, so you do 1843 02:04:25.239 --> 02:04:28.319 know what she's saying. He confirmed he has still not 1844 02:04:28.560 --> 02:04:32.560 met Ralling herself, but was convinced to take the role 1845 02:04:32.680 --> 02:04:38.800 by showrunner Francesca Gardner, who is a Potter fan since childhood. 1846 02:04:38.920 --> 02:04:46.800 Uh huh m de motherfucker. Wow, what a sad whether 1847 02:04:47.600 --> 02:04:50.520 he has played all these roles that were you know, 1848 02:04:50.600 --> 02:04:52.680 he's played queer roles in the past, he's had a 1849 02:04:52.800 --> 02:04:55.039 trans woman in the past. You know, that made him 1850 02:04:55.199 --> 02:04:59.079 seem like an ally and a person who's supported us. 1851 02:04:59.600 --> 02:05:05.800 But but not anymore. Not anymore. Of course, activists are 1852 02:05:05.840 --> 02:05:09.319 calling for Boycott's the Potter franchise. He seemed to question 1853 02:05:09.439 --> 02:05:14.760 whether her views are really so bad. He expressed confusion 1854 02:05:14.880 --> 02:05:18.279 as to why rallys anti trans speech was a factor 1855 02:05:18.359 --> 02:05:22.800 at all in fans support for the show after reading 1856 02:05:22.840 --> 02:05:25.760 an open letter asking him to walk away from the project. 1857 02:05:26.560 --> 02:05:30.119 In February, he told an audience at the Rotterdam Film 1858 02:05:30.239 --> 02:05:35.520 Festival that Potter was a mediation of kindness and acceptance, 1859 02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:42.760 and though he found her views ironic and inexplicable, he 1860 02:05:43.479 --> 02:05:53.760 saw no trace of transphobic sensitivity in the series itself. Okay, well, 1861 02:05:54.560 --> 02:05:56.920 as long as you don't anyway. 1862 02:05:57.920 --> 02:06:00.960 Yeah, I love gay people, but Chick fil a is 1863 02:06:01.039 --> 02:06:03.560 so delicious. That's what that sounds like to me. 1864 02:06:04.640 --> 02:06:05.039 Mm hmm. 1865 02:06:05.640 --> 02:06:08.479 So yeah, fuck John, let's go. I used to be 1866 02:06:08.680 --> 02:06:09.159 such a fan. 1867 02:06:10.119 --> 02:06:14.439 The production of HBOS Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 1868 02:06:14.960 --> 02:06:20.680 has faced troubles beyond its creators. Anti transfuse actor Papa 1869 02:06:21.279 --> 02:06:26.520 Tiju said he's received racist death threats for playing Potions 1870 02:06:26.600 --> 02:06:31.439 teacher Severus Snape. The series first trailer dropped last week 1871 02:06:31.560 --> 02:06:34.640 and quickly became the most view trailer in HBO's history 1872 02:06:35.239 --> 02:06:36.760 for The Hollywood Reporter. 1873 02:06:37.319 --> 02:06:41.640 So no one should be making Race's death threats. However, 1874 02:06:42.880 --> 02:06:47.399 had you not sucked at the teat of the transphobic 1875 02:06:47.760 --> 02:06:51.680 wizard writer, you wouldn't be in this situation.

I'm sorry. 1882 02:07:12.079 --> 02:07:14.920 I'm sorry. People did ask you to back away. In 1883 02:07:15.000 --> 02:07:17.199 good conscience. And part of that is because of the 1884 02:07:17.319 --> 02:07:20.880 roles you've played and you've made money based on, you know, 1885 02:07:21.239 --> 02:07:24.279 portraying our community. But where the rubber meets the road, 1886 02:07:24.520 --> 02:07:26.640 you say fuck off. Yeah. 1887 02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:36.760 Next, I'm gonna speed through this because basically Rosanda Thomas 1888 02:07:36.880 --> 02:07:42.520 aka Chili from TLC has donated to Trump's campaign wow, 1889 02:07:43.199 --> 02:07:48.960 and liked a series of Maga posts online. But then 1890 02:07:49.079 --> 02:07:52.760 she tried to say that she's not Maga, and she 1891 02:07:52.960 --> 02:07:56.600 denied making the donations. I think it like came up 1892 02:07:56.600 --> 02:07:58.720 to like a thousand dollars altogether. 1893 02:07:59.640 --> 02:08:04.880 And and and her repost about Michelle Obama. 1894 02:08:04.760 --> 02:08:13.920 Yeah, she reposted some conspiracy yeah right, really, Yeah, she's 1895 02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:16.199 trying to act like, you know, I never said that ship. 1896 02:08:16.279 --> 02:08:18.479 And then all of a sudden we realize she's been 1897 02:08:18.560 --> 02:08:21.520 taking down her Instagram posts like we can't already we 1898 02:08:21.640 --> 02:08:24.039 already saw it, babe, we already saw it. And then 1899 02:08:24.920 --> 02:08:28.720 Cheryl st. James with Salt and Peppa came out in 1900 02:08:28.880 --> 02:08:34.000 her defense. Right now, I think that is twofold one. 1901 02:08:34.920 --> 02:08:39.039 She's already been problematic, Salt, She's already been problematic on 1902 02:08:39.199 --> 02:08:44.560 her own. But just so happens TLC and Salt and 1903 02:08:44.640 --> 02:08:47.760 Peppa and in Vogue are supposed to be going on 1904 02:08:47.920 --> 02:08:50.800 tour together. Uh huh, So I believe that's what that's 1905 02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:54.960 all about.

Right? Yeah? Okay, 1982 02:13:28.359 --> 02:13:28.720 uh huh. 1983 02:13:29.560 --> 02:13:33.079 And they're casting as cis female to play Love. Yeah. 1984 02:13:33.680 --> 02:13:40.600 The executive producer said she best embodied the character. 1985 02:13:42.680 --> 02:13:46.520 Right, bad answer, because if she best embodied the character, 1986 02:13:46.720 --> 02:13:52.560 then why did you Why did a trans man originate 1987 02:13:52.640 --> 02:13:52.920 the role? 1988 02:13:53.479 --> 02:13:56.720 And I'm never going to accept that argument. Right. This 1989 02:13:57.000 --> 02:14:00.399 just isn't a disappointment over a single casting decision, but 1990 02:14:00.520 --> 02:14:04.880 a statement made by a major franchise that represents a 1991 02:14:05.039 --> 02:14:10.359 huge step backward in trans representation. While some will always 1992 02:14:10.439 --> 02:14:13.800 argue that an actor's job is to portray something they're not, 1993 02:14:15.159 --> 02:14:21.199 there are important reasons to have trans people represent themselves 1994 02:14:21.520 --> 02:14:26.119 in media, from giving transactors a chance to break through 1995 02:14:26.880 --> 02:14:30.399 when they might be denied CIS roles and so often are, 1996 02:14:31.079 --> 02:14:34.880 to providing a more authentic portrayal based on a full 1997 02:14:34.920 --> 02:14:41.840 and personal understanding of the trans experience. Trans Casting for 1998 02:14:42.000 --> 02:14:47.439 trans roles should be the natural choice if you're going 1999 02:14:47.520 --> 02:14:52.199 to tell our stories, right or keep us out your mouth. 2000 02:14:53.000 --> 02:14:55.800 Don't tell our stories. If you're not even going to 2001 02:14:55.880 --> 02:14:59.760 include us in the telling, how dare you? We were both? 2002 02:15:00.119 --> 02:15:03.720 Ian Alexander, who's the original, is a non binary human, 2003 02:15:03.880 --> 02:15:05.479 non binary transman. 2004 02:15:06.239 --> 02:15:12.159 Okay, right, he's in that fabulous transman place. Yes, yes, 2005 02:15:13.840 --> 02:15:17.399 that's what I thought. Too often, marginalized communities are pushed 2006 02:15:17.399 --> 02:15:21.600 out of the conversation about their own identities, whether it's 2007 02:15:21.640 --> 02:15:26.760 in fictional works about their existence or in political discussions 2008 02:15:26.960 --> 02:15:30.680 around access to healthcare. We might one day live in 2009 02:15:30.720 --> 02:15:34.520 a utopia where trans people are so accepted as part 2010 02:15:34.560 --> 02:15:37.399 of daily life that it doesn't matter who plays us. 2011 02:15:38.239 --> 02:15:42.720 But with anti trans hate spreading globally and Trump's America 2012 02:15:42.880 --> 02:15:46.960 being so unsafe for trans people, it's a crucial time 2013 02:15:47.119 --> 02:15:57.279 for us to get to tell our own stories. Uh 2014 02:15:57.359 --> 02:16:01.920 huh yeah, uh huh yeah, they aren't dry in their tears, 2015 02:16:02.000 --> 02:16:06.960 I am motherfuckers. There are two major factors in the 2016 02:16:07.079 --> 02:16:10.720 last of US TV casting that makes this move even 2017 02:16:11.079 --> 02:16:16.600 more appalling. First, it truly felt like we were past 2018 02:16:16.720 --> 02:16:19.760 this when it came to major productions. The last time 2019 02:16:19.840 --> 02:16:22.359 we saw a genuine, good faith attempt to portray a 2020 02:16:22.439 --> 02:16:26.239 trans character with a CIS actor was in Transparent with 2021 02:16:26.399 --> 02:16:31.199 Jeffrey Tambour from twenty fourteen to twenty seventeen. Both the creator, 2022 02:16:31.279 --> 02:16:35.760 Joey Soloway and Tambour himself, who didn't appear in the 2023 02:16:35.799 --> 02:16:41.520 final feature length episode Jr. Was actual occasions have said 2024 02:16:42.159 --> 02:16:46.000 that we need to move past CIS casting for trans roles. 2025 02:16:46.879 --> 02:16:52.000 Uh huh yeah, and even Tambor said I would not 2026 02:16:52.120 --> 02:16:55.159 be unhappy were I the last CIS gender male to 2027 02:16:55.280 --> 02:17:00.440 play a female transgender person on television. The other factor 2028 02:17:00.520 --> 02:17:03.360 came down to who played Lov in the video game, 2029 02:17:04.079 --> 02:17:07.879 right that The Last of Us is based on, and 2030 02:17:08.000 --> 02:17:12.040 the importance of their roles in trans representation and media 2031 02:17:12.079 --> 02:17:17.479 as a whole. Ian Alexander voiced Lev in the game. 2032 02:17:18.200 --> 02:17:25.360 Did the motion capture for the character so literally his movements? 2033 02:17:25.879 --> 02:17:26.000 Right? 2034 02:17:26.239 --> 02:17:29.799 Yeah? That sounds like embodying the character to me, thank you? 2035 02:17:30.799 --> 02:17:37.159 And was the model for the character's appearance. Huh? So 2036 02:17:37.440 --> 02:17:43.000 the character looks like Lev, but some CIS woman better 2037 02:17:43.760 --> 02:17:47.520 embodies What the fuck are you even saying? 2038 02:17:47.680 --> 02:17:49.440 This is called trying to play in our face, I. 2039 02:17:49.520 --> 02:17:51.760 Must say they don't like Lev for some reason. I'm 2040 02:17:51.799 --> 02:17:54.840 must say I don't know either Lev wouldn't fuck them 2041 02:17:55.559 --> 02:17:59.680 or stopped fucking them or something like that. Now we're mad, 2042 02:18:00.239 --> 02:18:02.920 right now we're mad. And suddenly we're going to just 2043 02:18:03.040 --> 02:18:07.120 rewrite everything that makes sense because this doesn't make sense 2044 02:18:07.479 --> 02:18:12.200 at all at all. Oh my god. As we moved 2045 02:18:12.239 --> 02:18:15.319 out of the era where trans characters in mainstream media 2046 02:18:15.360 --> 02:18:20.040 were either villains, offensive jokes, or both looking at you, 2047 02:18:20.159 --> 02:18:24.920 Ace Ventura, uh huh, we moved into one where stories 2048 02:18:25.000 --> 02:18:29.920 about trans characters focused solely on the character's transness. That 2049 02:18:30.120 --> 02:18:33.440 was the case with the cis led films Trans America 2050 02:18:34.479 --> 02:18:38.559 and The Danish Girl. Yeah yeah, it was still mostly 2051 02:18:38.639 --> 02:18:42.079 the case when transactors got to play trans roles, such 2052 02:18:42.120 --> 02:18:45.920 as Laverne Cox as Sophia Brissette in Orange Just the 2053 02:18:46.000 --> 02:18:50.840 New Black. But then trans representation reached an exciting new 2054 02:18:50.920 --> 02:18:54.000 point where a character could be trans not as a 2055 02:18:54.079 --> 02:18:57.079 defining point of the character, but as simply a small 2056 02:18:57.159 --> 02:19:02.799 facet right that was incidental to their narrative. And I've 2057 02:19:02.840 --> 02:19:05.520 said that before. I love like Laverne showing up as 2058 02:19:05.520 --> 02:19:08.840 a meter Maide right exactly, or the trainer or the 2059 02:19:08.920 --> 02:19:15.040 best friend or whatever. Right, yeah, uh huh. Alexander was 2060 02:19:15.079 --> 02:19:18.319 at the forefront of that, providing one of the most 2061 02:19:18.399 --> 02:19:22.559 notable early portrayals of this sort of character in Netflix 2062 02:19:22.639 --> 02:19:27.760 THEA in twenty sixteen. Since then, they've taken similar roles 2063 02:19:27.879 --> 02:19:30.959 in everything from Star Trek Discovery to Moon Girl and 2064 02:19:31.079 --> 02:19:34.920 Devil Dinosaur. By casting a CIS actor in the role 2065 02:19:35.000 --> 02:19:39.559 of Love, the showrunners are not only failing trans representation 2066 02:19:39.719 --> 02:19:45.840 in general, but taking trans representation back a decade while 2067 02:19:45.920 --> 02:19:51.639 failing the source material and the trans representation icon who 2068 02:19:51.799 --> 02:19:57.680 defined the original character. That's the hill they want to 2069 02:19:58.079 --> 02:20:02.479 stand on. It's gross. It is it's gross. I mean 2070 02:20:03.040 --> 02:20:06.399 what else I got. You know, we've talked about this before. 2071 02:20:07.079 --> 02:20:09.799 We've talked about, you know, the nuance of a queer 2072 02:20:09.920 --> 02:20:13.639 story or a trans story. You don't understand our lives 2073 02:20:14.239 --> 02:20:18.840 just by studying us, and there are things that we 2074 02:20:18.920 --> 02:20:22.079 would add to a portrayal that you don't begin to get. 2075 02:20:22.760 --> 02:20:27.000 And then when people watch your movie you say stupid 2076 02:20:27.200 --> 02:20:33.680 shit like it's really a universal story. No bitch, yeah 2077 02:20:33.719 --> 02:20:38.479 that so I'm sorry to the actor and Jesus fucking Christ, 2078 02:20:38.520 --> 02:20:41.799 all that HBO money and no goddamn sense, thank you. 2079 02:20:44.799 --> 02:20:49.399 This sounds personal. This sounds like the showrunners at HBO 2080 02:20:49.600 --> 02:20:54.520 are pettyfuckers for some reason. I don't know why, but yeah, 2081 02:20:55.120 --> 02:20:59.520 there's the perfect person to play the character, the character 2082 02:20:59.719 --> 02:21:03.040 literally designed around them, right, and you went, oh, no, 2083 02:21:03.360 --> 02:21:06.959 this cis woman better embodies this character and you think 2084 02:21:07.040 --> 02:21:09.879 that makes sense? Right, You can't possibly. 2085 02:21:10.399 --> 02:21:12.399 I mean, that would have been a way to get 2086 02:21:12.559 --> 02:21:16.159 so many people that are fans of the game to 2087 02:21:16.280 --> 02:21:18.639 watch the show, because it's like, oh my god, they're 2088 02:21:18.760 --> 02:21:20.600 the actual person is going to be in the show. 2089 02:21:21.079 --> 02:21:26.479 You would think you would think, why don't we take 2090 02:21:26.520 --> 02:21:30.520 a break. Okay, take a breath, have a breath mint, 2091 02:21:31.799 --> 02:21:34.559 maybe a little scrub out, and we'll come back. 2092 02:21:34.399 --> 02:21:36.840 And pop the culture with real pop culture. 2093 02:21:37.079 --> 02:21:58.399 Yeah, okay, we'll be right back, and we're bad. 2094 02:21:59.040 --> 02:22:10.799 We're so so. I've had the television on, yeah right, 2095 02:22:11.360 --> 02:22:15.319 I'm up to date now on all of Chicago Dick 2096 02:22:15.680 --> 02:22:22.760 Wolf's world in Chicago, which is Chicago MED, Chicago Fire Fire, 2097 02:22:23.840 --> 02:22:29.239 and Chicago PD Chicago Pete. Yeah, uh so I'm all 2098 02:22:29.280 --> 02:22:30.000 the way up to date. 2099 02:22:30.799 --> 02:22:33.520 Wow, I know you plowed through Chicago. 2100 02:22:34.000 --> 02:22:36.840 I plowed all the way through Chicago and a lovely 2101 02:22:36.959 --> 02:22:39.920 trip it was. Yeah, So now I just it's a 2102 02:22:40.000 --> 02:22:43.319 week to week thing for me, right, which I'll deal with. 2103 02:22:46.760 --> 02:22:48.760 And I also went all the way through the Pit? 2104 02:22:49.680 --> 02:22:52.079 Oh did you? Yeah? So I'm up to date on. 2105 02:22:52.159 --> 02:22:56.479 The Pit now that show it's it's I get why 2106 02:22:56.719 --> 02:22:59.479 it's it's being so well regarded and awarded. 2107 02:23:00.040 --> 02:23:04.159 It's good. It's a little much. The first couple of episodes, 2108 02:23:04.280 --> 02:23:07.639 we were like, you don't I thought we could eat 2109 02:23:07.680 --> 02:23:10.280 in front of the television. That was not the case 2110 02:23:10.719 --> 02:23:14.200 because it does get a bit graphic because it's on HBO. 2111 02:23:14.600 --> 02:23:18.920 So yeah, there was one where the dude had priapism 2112 02:23:19.159 --> 02:23:20.840 and we just watched them try to get rid of 2113 02:23:20.920 --> 02:23:27.719 that direction for yeah, yeah, because HBO. So that you did, 2114 02:23:28.600 --> 02:23:32.040 you know what I mean, like a stiff cock under 2115 02:23:32.200 --> 02:23:36.000 those you know what I mean? Not sexual right, like 2116 02:23:36.159 --> 02:23:37.040 oh poor thing. 2117 02:23:37.440 --> 02:23:39.959 Right, poor thing, poor stiff baby. 2118 02:23:40.159 --> 02:23:43.079 That's all you right kind of, that's all Like what 2119 02:23:43.200 --> 02:23:43.719 else is there? 2120 02:23:43.799 --> 02:23:43.920 Right? 2121 02:23:45.040 --> 02:23:47.639 So anyway, I'm all the way through the pit. Noah Wiley, 2122 02:23:47.719 --> 02:23:52.559 who we came to love in Er many many years ago, 2123 02:23:53.440 --> 02:23:58.799 is the head of the emergency department in Pittsburgh at 2124 02:23:58.799 --> 02:24:03.319 a Pittsburgh hospital, and they call that the pit. Yeah, yeah, 2125 02:24:03.680 --> 02:24:05.760 I like it. I like it. 2126 02:24:06.079 --> 02:24:06.479 I get it. 2127 02:24:06.600 --> 02:24:09.600 I understand why it's been interesting. 2128 02:24:09.760 --> 02:24:11.559 I did not watch it near as much as you did, 2129 02:24:11.680 --> 02:24:14.360 but I get it. And you pointed out something that 2130 02:24:14.440 --> 02:24:17.319 you know because I wasn't watching it regularly. Each season 2131 02:24:17.639 --> 02:24:21.040 is one day, one day, so each episode is one hour. 2132 02:24:20.920 --> 02:24:21.799 Of that day, yep. 2133 02:24:22.719 --> 02:24:24.920 Which is a cool device. 2134 02:24:25.239 --> 02:24:28.559 It is, Yeah, it is because it's literally a day. 2135 02:24:28.959 --> 02:24:32.840 And then like from season one into season two or whatever, 2136 02:24:32.920 --> 02:24:35.799 it was like three months had transpired, right, but then 2137 02:24:36.239 --> 02:24:39.680 still it was one day from morning until And. 2138 02:24:39.760 --> 02:24:43.120 That's not a new device like twenty four. That was 2139 02:24:43.200 --> 02:24:47.040 the whole conceit of that show. But it's not one 2140 02:24:47.159 --> 02:24:50.120 that you see that often. You do, you do, and 2141 02:24:50.200 --> 02:24:51.079 it's hard to do well. 2142 02:24:51.600 --> 02:24:55.319 It's interesting, especially when you're binging, right, you know what 2143 02:24:55.399 --> 02:24:57.639 I mean, hour after like you're right there with them 2144 02:24:57.799 --> 02:24:58.959 on their shift, right. 2145 02:24:59.000 --> 02:25:02.120 I mean, I guess it. The run You've got to 2146 02:25:02.239 --> 02:25:07.280 have a situation where there's enough ship going on that 2147 02:25:07.440 --> 02:25:10.120 you can parse it out hour by hour for an 2148 02:25:10.280 --> 02:25:14.879 entire season, right, And you know, twenty four you got 2149 02:25:15.000 --> 02:25:17.559 motherfucker's running from terrorists and ship and in the pit 2150 02:25:17.760 --> 02:25:20.920 you got you're in the emergency department. So there's gonna 2151 02:25:20.920 --> 02:25:22.120 be plenty of things happening. 2152 02:25:22.520 --> 02:25:28.159 Oh yeah, oh yeah all of the time. Yeah, it's good. 2153 02:25:28.639 --> 02:25:34.159 It's good entertaining. It's a diversion, you know, we all 2154 02:25:34.239 --> 02:25:37.719 need them. Also, we're in season four of Shrinking. 2155 02:25:37.879 --> 02:25:39.799 Yes, we finished season four Shrinking. 2156 02:25:39.959 --> 02:25:40.879 Do we finished finish? 2157 02:25:41.719 --> 02:25:41.840 Oh? 2158 02:25:41.920 --> 02:25:43.079 Wait, No, we haven't finished. 2159 02:25:43.120 --> 02:25:45.000 We're caught up is one?

I know it's funny. It is funny, 2165 02:26:01.319 --> 02:26:04.440 and it's sweet. It is and it's on Apple TV. 2166 02:26:04.719 --> 02:26:10.920 You should I recommend Shrinking. And Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford 2167 02:26:11.079 --> 02:26:18.440 is killing it. His character is going through having Parkinson's 2168 02:26:18.719 --> 02:26:23.280 fuck Parkinson's. And Michael J. Fox has made an appearance 2169 02:26:23.319 --> 02:26:27.559 on the show, and I think it's his first time 2170 02:26:27.760 --> 02:26:31.879 since his Parkinson has been manifesting as severely as it has. 2171 02:26:32.600 --> 02:26:38.639 And yeah, he's just as charming as he has always been. 2172 02:26:39.840 --> 02:26:41.360 I love it. I love it. 2173 02:26:41.440 --> 02:26:43.840 I do too, and I imagine playing that role has 2174 02:26:43.879 --> 02:26:45.120 got to be cathartic as hell. 2175 02:26:45.200 --> 02:26:45.520 For him. 2176 02:26:46.920 --> 02:26:51.159 Yeah, because you know it gets to say fuck Parkinson. 2177 02:26:51.600 --> 02:26:56.120 Parkinson's exactly. No, it's been good. I'm enjoying it. Two 2178 02:26:56.239 --> 02:27:00.879 more to go. Yes, And I also discovered the Dip yes, 2179 02:27:01.040 --> 02:27:04.600 which I want to say is on Netflix because I 2180 02:27:04.760 --> 02:27:07.360 was looking in the preview and I saw Alice and 2181 02:27:07.479 --> 02:27:09.600 Janny next to Bradley Whitford and I'm. 2182 02:27:09.479 --> 02:27:14.040 Like, oh, yes, please, Yeah, let's loot more of that. 2183 02:27:14.360 --> 02:27:17.719 So it's interesting.

Right, That's all you gave. 2215 02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:15.600 Me, right, because like sput, a song for each episode 2216 02:29:15.719 --> 02:29:20.840 is about a different musical, whether it be a stage performance. 2217 02:29:20.879 --> 02:29:23.120 I didn't realize it could be movies or a film, 2218 02:29:23.600 --> 02:29:28.319 or films or movies or yeah, so I wasn't clear, 2219 02:29:28.399 --> 02:29:30.799 but anyway I did. I did, and I stand by 2220 02:29:30.920 --> 02:29:35.079 this mention Anything Goes as one of my favorite musicals 2221 02:29:35.120 --> 02:29:37.799 because I love the coldport music of it all. Like 2222 02:29:38.079 --> 02:29:42.159 you know it's music, you know, it's a light hearted 2223 02:29:42.440 --> 02:29:46.040 funny story. You don't watch it really for the plot. 2224 02:29:46.319 --> 02:29:48.799 And I was gonna say, and what a plot, right. 2225 02:29:49.159 --> 02:29:52.959 There's not a lot, but it's it's just a fun 2226 02:29:53.079 --> 02:29:56.399 musical that has stood the test of times since nineteen 2227 02:29:56.520 --> 02:30:00.799 thirty four work when it was originally produced. Just a 2228 02:30:00.920 --> 02:30:03.959 fun show. So we you know, we did record and 2229 02:30:04.280 --> 02:30:07.360 had a blast.

I want to 2235 02:30:21.760 --> 02:30:22.280 do that again. 2236 02:30:22.440 --> 02:30:23.319 Yeah, I think we will be. 2237 02:30:23.600 --> 02:30:27.719 Yeah, we'll find another musical to talk about, but some 2238 02:30:27.840 --> 02:30:31.719 good side conversation and a lot of fun and a 2239 02:30:31.840 --> 02:30:36.719 discussion of So we took the twenty twenty one right 2240 02:30:37.399 --> 02:30:40.760 version of there.
