​​​@@IronFreakV Just because it's well recieved doesn't mean it's renowned. The whole point is to spread awareness that being part of the lgbt community doesn't make you any less of a human. The best way for that to happen is to have representation in big companies where everyone will see this fact, and not some indie project that no one is going to care about. The only thing I hate about modern society is that they like to believe that since minorities gained more rights that we should just be content with what we have, but that's not how this works. The whole point of having movements for equality is so that everyone is totally and completely equal. And though it may not happen before we die that doesn't mean we should stop.

I don't use the mens' room because it's some sort of gender-affirming experience that cements me as a man. I could enter the ladies' room, take a dump, wash my hands and leave without a problem. The only reason I don't do it is because I don't want to make the women in there uncomfortable. If using the mens' room make people less uncomfortable then just use the mens' room. It's creepy.

Pretty sure the bathroom scene is the less subtle way of getting the point across. I don't know why, maybe because kids nowadays are more dumb and ignorant and can't relate to any character and their issues in media unless it's LITERALLY THEM, i'd like to think it's more about script writers and directors being illiterate which makes it impossibe to have characters whose issues are not one dimensional. I don't know about gender/ethnicity issues, but i'm pretty sure people in real world have more going for them than that.

This is 100% why youth suicides are increasing.

The real healing began when Woody refused to play pretend.

True but I think this is mostly because what is represented is not what will be interpreted. Like you, I think this wouldn't be a bad thing to show a kid to get them to understand trauma, but this is supposed to represent being trans. By using that context, it basically says that they are emotionally and mentally fragile that helping a poor helpless kid causes them severe issues. Kids are not nice, especially when they are between the ages of 5 to 10 (or maybe it's just that my family has gremlins until they are 12). This basically tells them that they are more mature because they have no issues going into the correct bathroom (they just don't do it because the opposite gender is full of cooties and they think the other bathroom is a magical place of wonders).

Because after awhile, adults stop caring, they just flat out, stop caring. And we, as kids, never figured this out until later.

The sad thing is that the animation is actually a great short video about someone who is clearly not mentally sound, but you can't tell them that or advocate for any kind of mental health treatment because 'affirming them' is the only PC solution these days. Its kinda messed up in its own way.

[@EnderGhost119]

@nobody8717 I mean telling a schizo they are actually friends with little green men instead of finding some way to treat them is messed up in the same way. Yet the "best" we can do is tell these people they actually are born in the wrong body, and then they have to live through this nightmare. Even the animation managed to capture it, the well meaning friend dragged them into the women's bathroom and that "affirmation" did not help them at all.

I hear people say this a lot, that "Company only cares about money, they'll do whatever if they think it'll be profitable". That's true in theory, but it ignores the deeper truth that companies are composed of individual people, who each have their own ideas and biases. And when companies get taken over by activists in leadership/decision-making positions, those activists only care about advancing their ideology regardless of the corporate consequences. That's why we see these companies put out bewildering garbage that obviously flops or harms the company, yet they double/triple down. It's because the activists don't care, and they are so ingrained into the leadership structure that it's very challenging to remove them once they're embedded.

Having separate categories and areas for different ideas and expressions is good. Forcibly blending everyone and everything together is not only bad but dangerous. You ARE allowed to be trans and express yourself as much as you want, but what you are not allowed to do is force your ideas on other people. Children are not allowed in bars, strip clubs, or casinos, but that isn't because society hates them and is age-ist. It's for the safety of the children and customers. Just because you aren't allowed in one (or a few) place doesn't mean you are targeted by society and barred from everywhere. Emotionally manipulating people will only limit the places where others will welcome you.

Like I love the context and the artistic vision to represent gender dysphoria. But I feel like this would do much better as it's own plot in a young adult animation series rather than something VERY CLEARLY marketed towards like 15 under. Tbh I don't care much for the political struggle behind gender and identity, but it should not be something children overtly see or are forced to observe as they are impressionable. These concepts are better tackled once they mature into young adults, they have a fuller sense of self and are better able to understand abstract concepts and disengage with something ideologically. It's a well recorded fact in child development that 15+ is when they begin to engage with abstract thought and rationalization. So we should keep media that has these kinds topics relegated to that more mature audience.

As someone who is trans I understand first hand that people don’t just understand you on the spot. It’s a shame something like this needs to be censored and hid away because it shows that people still think there is a right and wrong when in reality to right is being whoever you wanna be and not living your life to satisfy someone else’s belief. Yet I understand why they pulled this, it would have caused more harm than good simply because those who don’t wanna learn won’t learn. It’s unfortunately this mindset that causes this divide between people but it’s from a place of misunderstanding. Put simply, if you are not trans you will NEVER understand what that struggle is like, you can be nice but you won’t understand. You’ll never understand what it’s like or how it feels to feel put together the wrong way and you’ll never understand the fear of someone hating you for doing nothing but seeking a better life. Tbh I agree that this animation is before it’s time, but I just hope the world that we live in, and the people in it, one day realise that it’s free to be nice.

"To feel put together the wrong way" is something LITERALLY EVERYBODY lives through. And that's what you brainwashed guys don't understand. *Identity crisis is a normal part of life,* but it's something you overcome by learning to accept yourself. You poor souls were taught the exact opposite : to hate yourself and never ever accept it unless you pay thousands for meds and surgery that destroy your biology. How convenient that "getting the right body" requires you ruining yourself for it. Almost like the goal was not to help the "trans", but only to drain their money. Even the will to be the opposite sex is something everybody goes through. You think no girl ever thinks "I wish I didn't have to have periods"? You think boys never think "I wish I was a girl so I have boobs"? The difference is you were told it's because you are in the "wrong body"... which doesn't make sense to begin with, there are no wrong body.

[@MrTomyCJ]

I think it may be a bit arrogant to say other person could never understand. But in reality it's kinda impossible to determine if a person really understood or not, so the only thing that matters is whether they are respectful or not. IMO being respectful just means not being aggressive, it doesn't even mean acceptance or recognition. Because otherwise anyone could claim stuff like "anyone that doesn't call me Mr godoftheuniverse is being disrespectful and should be punished". I don't think this is just "before its time", because I don't think companies should expose kids to topics that they aren't mentally developed enough to properly understand. For example, it will *never* be a good time to expose kids to porn.

[@jamesarcher9916]

@ I don’t think it’s arrogant because you won’t understand it unless you’re in that position. And yes whilst obviously it’s never gonna be a good idea to show children adult things only adults will deal with, everyone deals with gender identity. I don’t feel like a portion of the population should be hidden away because parents are too afraid to tell there children that it’s okie not be girly as a boy or boyish as a girl. My heart goes out to the poor young individuals who think there broken or are in terrible places mentally because they don’t feel the same about who they are as everyone else and no one is telling them why. And to be honest, the school system as it is is a mess. I’m in my early twenties and was never taught how to do taxes or make CVs but what I was taught is useless information about old stories that won’t help me at all in the future. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt actually teaching kids more important information like previously mentioned and also topics like this too so they not only grow up knowing this is normal and not to be made fun of but also allow those who might be under this umbrella to help understand themselves.
