Seth LISTENS during his interviews. He rarely interrupts and basically lets his guests discuss what it is they are there TO discuss.

You mean he actually conducts an interview by asking good questions, listening to the answers, and then responding to those answers rather then sounding like he’s checking off questions on a check list WITHOUT hustling his guest to play stupid games which are nothing but filler?????

Yeah, I was actually fascinated by what they did. He gets his hair cut, comes out to the siblings and they basically go, "Huh. Ok. Cool. So let's get back to business." I don't think I've seen many LGBTQIA+ storylines that skip the angst like that. Kind of refreshing, to be honest. I mean, obviously not everyone gets immediately accepted like that, but this is a fantasy series, and a teachable moment for a lot of people. This is what someone transitioning COULD look like when approached with love and acceptance. It doesn't HAVE to be a big deal. The only reason it's seen as a big deal is because bigots have made a big deal of it to begin with.

Elliot's voice sounds to be in the mid-way stage of HRT, when it's cracking like going through a second puberty. His facial bone structure is also changing to a masculine one due to the testosterone treatments.

Essentially biologically we've been born the wrong way and we can't change that part of our brains but we can change our bodies so we're doing exactly that to make us feel better about who we are and as I said it doesn't hurt anyone, only makes us happier to feel comfortable in our own skin.

@@chancemoody8448 In the first three sentences I thought you were ok, but then it took a turn with the last two. You fell off a cliff. Opinions are not facts and therefore they do not qualify as the truth. I run into many people (almost exclusively on the left) that do not understand the difference between an opinion and a fact. For example, I think that pineapple on pizza is disgusting. Pizza is savory to me. I like it meaty, salty, and savory. Adding pineapple to that mix completely destroys it. This is an opinion. If I were to say that some people enjoy pineapple on their pizza I would be stating a fact. My opinion is not a fact. It is not the truth. I have my moments where I’m not exactly clear in what I’m saying, but I do ok. Coherency is very important in the USMC. Fortunately I graduated from high school and then went on to earn my degrees while serving in the Marines. That primary and secondary education really helped me become what has been described as an outstanding Marine. During my 20 years I was able to rise through the ranks to Master Gunnery Sergeant. After serving my 20, I was honorably discharged. I still needed to support my family and so I went through the police academy and then joined the Sheriff’s Department in my county. Based on my prior military experience, I was fast tracked to Sergeant and I am called upon to handle more dangerous situations and other assignments. As I said, Seth is nothing special.

There is so much wrong with this point of view, if you do not fit into the cultural idea of man or woman, this does not mean something is wrong with you, you just do not you know how to identify yourself in the body that nature has given you, we need to teach people who are so deeply entangled in themselves to develop these qualities within the framework of reality and not change their real sex to an artificial one, the chromosomes remain the same and you are not at all who you want to be, you are something incomprehensible, amorphous.

Whether you believe in gender labels or think it's stupid to refer to trans people as members of the opposite sex, just remind yourself of the 10,000 foot view: trans people are people. They have a finite time upon this earth just like the rest of us, and it behooves us all to love one another without condition. None of the rest of it matters. Make the world a better place through patience, love, and understanding. It's completely pointless to harbor negative emotion about it.

I grew up in a pretty religious conservative household and still hold some semi-conservative beliefs. I sometimes find myself subconsciously resisting the newness of things (couldn’t wrap my head around the importance of pronouns for the longest time). But even so, I’ve never been able to understand how some people have the audacity to tell others what to do with their bodies and minds. Like let’s say you’ve never met a trans person and the whole thing is foreign to you… that’s fine. It’s ok to be curious or even worried or scared when you learn about something so different from YOUR norm. But when that fear and worry turns to anger, discrimination, and threats… it’s just wrong. There’s no gray area. Queer/trans people don’t need our permission to live their lives with dignity and rights. It was NEVER our place to dictate whether their existence was right or wrong to begin with. As long as someone isn’t putting you in harm’s way, there’s no excuse to be hateful towards them (being uncomfortable or losing control doesn’t count). Live your own life and leave people to theirs.

I loved everything about this interview. When Seth turned to Elliot, just literally turned his whole body to ask questions, you can tell he was PRESENT in that moment. He was listening, and caring, and not focusing on the audience but on the person he was talking to. We could all learn how to be better listeners and allies.

Allies are cringe

@@honeyinglune8957 I’m glad you have such a satisfying life as a rugged individualist with no allies or solidarity in sight

[@honeyinglune8957]

@@kaitlyn__L ally is not used in traditional sense anymore. It now means someone who submits to modern gender ideology. Of course people need companions in life

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@honeyinglune8957 sounds like you think “trans ally” has erased all other meanings. There are disability allies, women’s allies, black allies, and much more besides. Allies in general still just means people who will fight your corner.

[@honeyinglune8957]

@@kaitlyn__L OK I see your point and I agree. However to me personally it seems like when people say ally in this context it means to somehow demean yourself. Or in other words, 'since they are more oppressed than me i am worth less than them and somehow guilty for their suffering.' It seems not to aim for equality but the superiority of all those groups you mentioned. Again just my opinion and feel free to disagree

[@coffeecat2812]

I really appreciate that Seth didn't talk over Elliot and was respectful. As a Trans Male, seeing Elliot so happy makes me hopeful about my own journey.

[@philollenberg2494]

I'm really enjoying how Elliot is navigating his own presentation of masculinity. It's like he no longer has to "play a girl" on TV but he's not quite used to just playing himself.

[@robjohnson9270]

What is trans male? Is that a guy that pretends to be a girl or a girl that pretends to be a guy? Your gender is determined by the 23rd chromosome, not how you feel or what interests you have....women are not limited from feeling the same emotions that men feel and vice versa....identifying with a stereotype that everyone knows is WRONG, means you are identifying with the wrong thing.....

[@robjohnson9270]

@@philollenberg2494 but masculinity has nothing to do with being an ACTUAL man.....the gay guys on Will and Grace had NO masculinity but they were 100% men. If anything, her refusal to accept reality and demand what she wants regardless actually fits the female stereotype....

[@facelessdrone]

Same, and the fact that his transition is being handled well by his work and a large part of the media as well, this means the culture truly is shifting to being more accepting, it makes me want to halt the thoughts of the world burning.

[@franfoley8171]

@@eurasiangamer3807 to be honest though, the voice doesn't make the person. Yes it helps with the dysphoria but you can still be beautiful without having the voice to match.

HER! SHE WILL ALWAYS be XX.....that is the ONE thing that is the SAME for ALL women.....and XY is the ONE thing that is the same for ALL men.... it is a classification system that doesn't account for feelings or perspectives. When a child crawls around on the ground and purrs, they are "identifying" as a cat but at no point are they ACTUALLY anything but a human child, as dictated by DNA, not how the child "feels". Similarly, when someone is in a coma and isn't identifying as ANYTHING, do they cease to exist? Elliott Page had the same surgery as Angelina Jolie....but Angelina Jolie is still a woman. In fact, we go out of our way to express that a woman who gets breast surgery is NO LESS a WOMAN. The REALITY is, we have a portion of society, outcasts by society standards, that wants their personality type legally protected. But, if you protect one personality type, you have to protect them all. That means, if society must not just tolerate but accept and respect these oddballs, then society ALSO has to not just tolerate, but accept and respect the views of ignorant redneck racists, neo-nazis, conservatives, etc....That would also make it a hate crime for "jocks" to mock "nerds". I perfer to maintain my right to judge individuals based on their actions, not based on what group they WANT to be part of. Gender is not a choice. How you interact with the world IS a choice and it is NOT based on gender. Gender stereotypes are WRONG. Anyone thinking "I must be a guy because I identify with male gender stereotypes" is WRONG....MANY actual men do not identify with most male stereotypes, and it doesn't mean they are women. In fact, I'd say that a woman has a woman's brain and can only SPECULATE what it is to think like and feel like a men...and a man has a man's brain and can only SPECULATE what it is to think like and feel like a woman.

[@WelcomeToMyHead]

@@BulkBoxer2 if you’re asking sincerely for education, there are a ton of online resources that explain exactly how this works biologically/chemically.. again, it varies person to person based on how and what they want to do with their transition. There are also tons of research papers and interesting medical facts about sex and gender, which outline exactly how they differ, and also there are many biological and hormonal variations within human beings that most people wouldn’t even know about themselves, had they not looked further into it. It’s actually quite fascinating from a medical standpoint.. humans are much more complex than our social constructs make them out to be.
