Unbearable.

support comment for you

Calling gender a social construct is literal terf rhetoric

'Biological combined with sex' as a term, is a shortcut. As some may say biological sex in An attempt to remove marginalized people's humanity. -On this planet, 'Biological' is life! Phenotypic sex (observed characteristics) and genotypic (chromosome) sex are terms used to describe different aspects of biological sex, focusing on how it is expressed and determined

I want to thank you for creating this video. I thought you did a good job explaining the current scientific knowledge regarding transgender folks. I also liked the true and false part of the video. However, as a transgender woman myself, I am strongly opposed to the idea that "gender is a social construct". I am convince it is harmful to transgender people because it plays into the hands of conservatives and the like who argue that being transgender is not real, that our gender identity is a made-up illusion, and that conversion therapy should be effective. I have seen transphobic people make these types of comments. The idea that gender is a social construct apparently began with sexologist John Money, who conducted unethical experiments in the 50's on intersex children. He was attempting to demonstrate, by having these children raised either as girls or boys, that ones gender is aquired through socialization. These experiments failed to support his hypothesis. John Money was also involved in the infamous David Reimer case. His ideas were picked up by socialogists and gender studies academics in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, and unfortunately, the definition of gender as a social contruct became fixed. Of course, gender roles and gender expression are indeed social constructs, as they very among cultures and over time. However, to me, gender identity is what is most important. Gender roles and expression are secondary. The 'F' on my drivers license refers to my gender identity, not how I express myself. I could cut my hair and walk out the door dressed in men's cloths, and I would still identify as a woman. My gender would still be female. In several places throughout your video, I heard you use the word gender when you were referring to gender identity. I think that is the natural way to talk about gender identity. I just wish I could snap my fingers and have the definition of gender be gender identity. This video, "Trans Psychiatrist Explains - Why gender identity is not a social construct.", fully explains this point of view: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnbEmGhsh997gsU In any case, I do very much appreciate this video.

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Heyyy new to the channel thanks to this video, you did a really great job! I knew most facts from other sources but this is the first time I've heard so much information convenientely packed into one video. As a fellow AuDHDer diagnosed in adulthood, welcome to the club! Another great journey of self discovery awaits you (with ups and downs so be prepared) I'm stoked to hear that you'll be covering neurodivergence too, but please take your time. Burnout is an asshole, especially for us ND folks. Sending love ❤

People will say "basic biology" like that's a gotcha and not their ignorance.

Gray blazer look for sure~ Both are fantastic but the colour contrast makes the romper pop. Loving those platforms by the by

Very well researched and articulated. Thanks!

As a young trans boy trying to understand myself about 11 years ago, i was floored when i discovered that clip from Stanford University talking about the differences in trans peoples brains. It felt so good to have a scientific study that helped explain why i feel the way i feel. Thank you so much for putting out this video!!

Thank you for creating such a comprehensive and informative video that is based on science and logic. It’s refreshing to see a video that truly reflects my personal experiences as a trans woman.

Thank you for supporting us. 💖🏳‍⚧ This was an excellent video.

(am trans) Thank you for this fantastic rundown. My only qualm is "gender is a social construct". It's so easy to lump gender identity in with that, even though there is evidence that gender identity is more than social. I'm starting to think we should shift the language toward "gender norms are a social construct".

Great video, plz feel hugged. :-)

Posting an algorithmic comment for the algorithm gods.

I am looking forward to watching this in full very soon!!!!

please stop talking about trans issues. sincerely, a trans person

Great video! Looking forward for the neurodiversity one to drop👍

Great video Meghan. But cilantro does taste like soap!!

Timestamp 5:07 is when she finally gets through saying "Gonna talk about... gonna talk about... gonna talk about... ..." and finally starts talking about it. Then the video gets good. Just trying to be helpful to others like myself who get involuntarily irritated at other people's imperfections in oration despite our own worse shortcomings in that department.

Fascism is back. Trans people are the new Jews in that paradigm. The disinformation is deliberate and malicious.

This was wonderfully made! As a trans person, even I learned some new stuff from this. It's sad that the people who need to see this video the most are also the people who will probably click off once they realise it won't agree with their worldview :(

I'm leaving a comment for the algorithm, but I'm going to listen to this in its entirety only later in the day. Can't wait!

I'm early af, algorithm knows my trans ass already damn 😂

🧡🦄🏳‍⚧ others still say how much my discovery ruined their appreciation of my masking autism, orientation, and identity SO well for 40 years. 🤦🏼‍♂ someday ppl will understand this foolishness. Until then, I/m *Not* 'gonna mask like I'm ignorant again. Naive, yes. Surviving this slog so I can love some already-forgiven fools. Thank you! I cannot craft the language to effectively celebrate or explain how perfectly this slaps. 🫶

Ahhhh I am so excited! thank you for posting this stuff!!

I started listening to you until you started saying, "Conservatives say..." and "Transphobes..." This is not an unbiased science report. Good science examines both sides fairly and comes to conclusions base don rationality, not emotional insults against people to preclude anything they might have to say. Also, "We have discovered recently that sex isn't a binary." What is recently? We've known about abnormal chromosomal and sexual developments for decades. These are incredibly rare conditions however, and the vast majority of born individuals are male and female. Very, VERY few of us have these genetic variations. Finally read here about the difference in trans brains. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8604863/#Sec27 Its not very cut and dry at all. You're not doing due diligence here, but taking a one sided approach from biased individuals. Good luck in future videos.

Bro your videos on gender and sexuality are a godsend, thank you so much. We get shown such a narrow slice

It's nice to see you again. I look forward to the discussions. Have a great week.

As a trans woman, I think we should pronounce "SRY" as "sorry". "SRY, you're male!"

OMG THANK YOU this made me realize that i didnt like jorkin it,,,, i liked the FEELING that jorkin it gave me

I'm a writer and definitely on the ace spectrum

This is everything I’ve ever wanted to say in a wonderfully articulated video. Love this

amazing work

Idk if I'm ace, but clearly questioning, and I draw erotic comics...

Why is wearing fur cruel while wearing leather is not?

24:55 thanks a lot, I love doing erotica in my comics and I wondered why I wouldn't like to really experience what I drew...

Demi here, so i have a hard time understanding the 'separation' of sensuality and sex, but that's me and my type, i'm involved with a kinky ace and can confirm most of this~ its more about the action and 'fantasy' and as a demi i get that alot, how we interpret that is though a bit different. Something like you mentioned 'touching butt' completely goes over my partner's head, but i've informed my ace that a majority of humans find that as a sexual act. We have quite a number of discussions on what is considered 'sexual' and what isn't, it is somewhat fascinating... i'm very much only attracted because of sensual intimacy, which i guess kinky aces are good at, just don't understand that can lead to 'sexual' things for others, sexual and romantic intertwine with demis so we don't really separate it, but for 'normies' we are too 'slow' or laser-guided, we have an emotional attachments that locks us onto one person generally at a time or a limited group, and that connection makes us attracted to them. Hetero-norm culture says we're 'ace' but i can confirm to aces we are 'way too sexual', so we're sitting in a weird spot. But i can say i much prefer being with my kinky ace as they can be much more cerebral and lean on the romantic/sensual side over just pure 'physical sex' which... can be extremely boring when its just that... no build up, no sensuality, no connection... its just not fun... so this was fun to watch as another kinky's aces experience, and just a lot of the things you mentioned echoing what i've heard from my partner as well~ we both agree, the brain is the largest sex organ we have, USE IT!! i've screamed this from the heavens to so many people, its why fanfic and fantasies are so important to explore~ you figure out what you want, and then can test what you can, its fun~ like kinky aces~ :3

Just bought my first fur hat, friend of mine trapped/tanned/made the Coyote hat. After learning how warm it actually was, ordered some tanned pelts. Planned to make myself some booties for camping rather then buy some down booties...

These kind of topics always make me feel guilty when i have to think about it, but mostly a me problem. Im Ase in the "might feel the need for a partner no more than once a year" i have a partner. I can do it, but i dont want it, or like it because im hypersensitive. Its more overwhelming then nice, and once it isnt overwhelming its boring, so its a lose lose, and i just feel guilty ready stuff that can make them blush while i can even kiss them consistently. Kink actually reaches thay middleground for us. I feel less guilty and have fun in a less sexual way while my partner actualy feels it in the uhm.. prefered way. Sorry for overshare. it's just screaming into the void.

i was with a guy for about 2 months before i inevitably called it off and cut contact. i made it very clear i was ace since the beginning of our friendship even. when we started dating i was actually really happy. he said he did not mind that i was ace and said if we continued the relationship for a long time he'd be fine not having sexual activities with me. this was before i knew more about asexuality and didn't research everything about it. so when i started to feel a certain way about things most people would consider sexual, i turned to him. hoping he'd help me. i was wrong. after i told him how i felt about stuff and some things i had imagined of doing (without any sexual meaning behind it). he tried to say i wasn't asexual without just flat out saying it. for weeks i had questioned myself if i was truly asexual or just really confused about what sex meant. recently I've done a lot more research about asexuality, pretty much a deep dive if you will. and I've learned a lot about myself. one being the fact i am indeed ace. when i was with the guy after i had told him my feelings about my asexuality, he made me feel like i had to be sexual with him. not anything physical but a lot of talking. he'd flirt sexually and at the time of being a bit naive still and just wanting a relationship, i did it back. after a while i realized it wasn't ok, and an unhealthy relationship for me. i never told him the actual reason of breaking up with him, just that i didn't have feelings for him anymore and i hoped he could find someone. i haven't talked to him since. he did try and reach out a few months after the break up but i ignored him. i am now a lot more comfortable with my asexuality and how i feel about what people call sexual things. i am now very single and sometimes a bit lonely. but the time of not having a relationship and just being by myself has really helped me work on myself and be comfortable with who i am. I'm still getting there of course but i got the asexuality down. sometimes i do wish i wasn't since it has forced me to be single before and after that guy, but it has given me some confidence to set boundaries. i now know what i deserve in a relationship but haven't been looking right now because i want to be more comfortable with myself before i do that. being a trans asexual man isn't easy, lol.

Excellent video!~ Would take a course on this stuff if I could :)

14:33 that’s me lol

3:29 Here as a sex-repulsed ace! Will only be talking about my own experience since I don't know any other ace in person so I don't want to generalize without knowing others opinions. I'm still not sure about whether I have kinks or fetishes (I have your video about it on my watch list still), but I still wanted to comment on the sensual/sexual feelings. For me, I don't think I have anything that makes me feel any sensual feelings, or at least I haven't discovered any yet. On the other hand, I do have several things that do make me feel sexual things, and those only work in my head, just like you said its usual. Still, those things that make me feel horny (Writing this when english is not my first language is so hard-) are far from anything sexual, and the moment it might actually turn into anything sexual, I nope the f*ck out of there. One time, when I was still trying to figure out what was "wrong with me" for being so against sex, I took the chance of being close to orgasm thanks to one of those things to try to touch myself, the thought process being, "I might need a kickstart to enjoy it so that I am too into it to be turned off". In one single instant, I went from 90% to 10%, no exaggeration. Still trying to get myself to like it, I tried to turn those fantasies sexual in my head once I was reaching that point, but the result was the same. But I don't think I've ever experienced any of those sensual sensations that you described. Warmth and comfort when cuddling people, but everything else is just...normal, I don't know. Also, on the being aroused by situations, not people (Sorry, can't remember the exact wording), for me is not only that imagining it makes it more enjoyable and less like a chore, but also an absolute PANIC at the idea that the other person will trick me and make it sexual; maybe not on purpose or not realizing it, but still. If it's irl, for me there is always a posibility of it turning into sex of someway, so not only do I not really enjoy making things real, but it's incredibly scary because they might not respect my boundaries and NO. Although that could absolutely be a me thing, trust issues or something. So I'm a repulsed asexual who only feels sexual sensations through non-sexual situations and when they turn sexual is turned off. Sometimes I still wonder why I'm like this :')

5:10 Weirdly, even though I was (supposedly) raised as a boy, I ended up doing literally everything you listed here for my partners when I thought I was a man. Felt responsible for her emotional state, didnt want to make her upset, tried to make sure she felt big and strong, couldnt diminish her ego in any way, etc. This whole mess is bad for everyone. Even for trans eggs. Maybe even for cis men?

Click away? Will do!

I'm ace myself and honestly the comment about sex being a thing in my head is so good. I honestly find it pushes me away a lot but when I imagine fantasies I can somewhat enjoy it My libido is infuriatingly high and honestly I don't enjoy dealing with it even remotely (I often find it distracting and a waste of time I could spend drawing or studying or anything) but usually more kinky stuff is more enjoyable I remember a very specific comic that was focused on kink but had a lot of consent and the characters constantly checking if they are comfortable and the end scene talked about how sex is a useful tool for self discovery and honestly I felt so heard in that comic

I'm thinking I may be ace because whenever I have a crush it's usually a feeling of admiration for them or wanting them to be happy more than a feeling of want for them, this video definitely helped me understand asexuality better:)

Ace and an artist. (:
