I do agree with this, both Lucy and more recently Mike have tempers and frustrations that they can't control but they both effectively rely on each other for comfort. They know that they can and that they would understand each other, that is obviously until Sandy calls out Lucy's temper and Mike starts avoiding her for it and of course lashing out. Lucy massively improves her temper (though not completely) while Mike flips, turning from kind to a rageful bully. They both have the potential to be nice to each other and hopefully one day they will and become Yin and Yang again. I do agree with this analysis, it explains a lot about why Mike specifically lashes out when Lucy tries to improve herself. Mike wants to hate Lucy, he doesn't want to go through her rage again, but needs confirmation that he and Sandy will work in order to assure this. When that happens he tries to discard Lucy, only seeing the negative side of her, and only too late when she's hospitalized does he acknowledge the fact that she has helped and cared about him many times, causing him to break down in regret.

I miss dozzy, used to be friends with her a lil bit but I was very repressed and stupid. I need to try to keep up more and go back to her and stuff.

(I'm poor and don't have home internet or a good computer these days, but I used to make youube poops as "Oliver Hancock" on old channels for years.)

Also please don't grade the comment section. Have a great day!

That’s a really interesting point.

Race is more than just melanin - every person from a certain race has certain features that apply to them (e.g. hair type, nose shape, eye shape, etc...). An albino black man is not a white man due to his lack of melanin; he is still black due to the facial features that are associated with his race. In addition, melanin can be seen in hair color, and I can assure that there are many non-white people with fair hair. Their lack of melanin does not exempt them from being a person of color or a non-white person. To be white is not to have white skin or fair hair or a lack of melanin (its name should not be taken literally), it's to have features that match up with the "white" race. It's quite complicated to try and detangle this, but the way I like to think about transracialism is that it's not comparable to transgenderism. The people making the argument that "transracial = transgender" most of the time are finding ways to be transphobic. Just because both race and gender are social constructs, does not mean that they are the same. Race has many factors and causes many experiences; black women, for example, grow up as black women and live their lives as black women, it's part of their identity and they experience their lives through that lens. Transracial people do not have those lived experiences. However, a transgender person from childhood is growing up with that maleness or femaleness because of the way that gender identity operates inside us regardless of what our bodies look like and how people treat us based on that. There is a degree of femaleness or maleness inside every person, however on the other hand, there is no degree of blackness in every person on earth. In terms of the point that David made in his video, I think it's a brilliant rebuttal to the argument. This question is really tough and some of the arguments people try to make are incorrect and give transphobes a reason to use it as evidence to justify their bigotry. Identify as who you want to be, as long as it doesn't harm others, sure, but I personally think that transracial people are doing some kind of harm. They are taking away from the struggles that both people of color and transgender people have to go through by suggesting that one can "choose" their race, and therefore by that logic you are also "choosing" your gender. If it were that simple, as a person of color, I would just "become" white to remove the struggles I have to go through due to my lack of whiteness. It doesn't really work that way. Your question is really good though, it made me think for quite a while. I hope this makes sense - it's quite hard to translate my thoughts into words especially when it's such a complicated topic.

@@nadine9018 Not all black people have lived the black experience honestly. I for one grew up in Africa but trust me I do not conform with the way of living here from my accenting to the way I dress, down to my music choice. If I am to probe or self- identity I'd say I struggled with racial dysphoria. I absolutely wanted nothing to do with this identity, I went out of my way to conform less. Are my feelings invalidated?

@@nadine9018 You can say the same for men who don’t understand the female struggle. Surely it’s understood that in this day n age women have more human rights violations across the globe then men do. So in a sense, can’t you argue the same thing that you’d argue about black people? A trans man will never go through a menstrual cycle nor be able to go through the horrible pain of labor or even the 9 months of pregnancy. Most, if not ALL arguments made for transgender people can be made for transracial. At the end of it, the main point is that they do not feel as if they are born with the appropriate identity. Regardless of anatomy in ANY form. To cherry pick gender and race is dishonest and discriminatory. Also u argued that race is more than just skin color which I agree with. I also believe that sex is more than just men having nipples. ( example used by him in video). That entire argument feels flimsy n doesn’t hold much weight in my mind.

Dear God no!!!

Thanks so much! I’ll start trying that out.

@@atmaweapon42 Charlie Kirk is debating a pretty popular “Lefty” youtuber/streamer who is also a sociologist and pretty great debater on the 4th I believe. His handle is Vaush. Also, the movie you were describing is called “Facing the Giants”

Oh that is great!!! I am already buzzing with ideas.
