It's an old thing to the far right in America who think that fascism and socialism are the same thing and that Hitler and the Nazis were socialists, some even saying things like "it's in the NAME of the party, National Socialist German Workers' Party, they MUST be socialists." By that measure, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea must be both democratic and a Republic. It's all an attempt to paint their hated opponents on the left with negative annotations while trying to whitewash the fact that they are the ones who are acting more akin to what those hated labels really point to.

The "Has anyone ever witnessed a star form?" remark really triggered me, not going to lie. If you see two mangled cars in the street, skid marks, shattered glass and crumpled bits of metal all over the road, then any remotely reasonable person will think "Oh, those two cars just crashed into each other". A person with the requisite knowledge of things like impact dynamics can work out the probable sequence of events from looking at the skid marks, crumpled metal, etc. But only a complete and utter cretin would think "Oh, those two cars look like they crashed into each other, but as I didn't witness it personally, I can only conclude that those cars have always been like that". It's the worst kind of wilful ignorance and it really annoys me.

You hit the nail on the head at 18:55 I am speaking as a cis, bisexual man. I got married at 20 years old to a cis woman. As far as I knew at the time (deeply indoctrinated in the church), I was "straight". That's all I knew. I've since done A LOT of learning about myself and exploring the world. I can confidently say that I am bisexual. But you know what I haven't done? Cheated on my wife. I love her and cherish her. We've been through hell (haha) together. Our relationship is paramount in my life. OF COURSE I'm not "bisexually active". I would be a complete fool to be. There are days I feel almost entirely straight. There are days when I feel massively queer, haha. Most days it's somewhere in between. Anyways, I'll stop rambling. You nailed it though....

[@Paulogia]

Appreciate that affirmation.

[@eduardopena5893]

You can't be speaking as that, because there's no such thing as a "cis" anything.

[@nasonguy]

@@eduardopena5893 I'd love for you to expand on that. I was under the impression that the word "cis" as a prefix has been in use for hundreds of years and has it's roots in the latin 'Cis' meaning "this side of" or "nearer to".

[@eduardopena5893]

@@nasonguy Well, this is going to be a bit of a deep dive, but you did ask me to expand on it, so I hope you are prepared for a bit of a read. Latin is a quite old language and while that original version of the word "cis" has been around for a long time, it was not at all used in the way it is currently being used in our time. It does mean what you think it does, but it was never in use with the other term "gender." That connection didn't occur until the English current day usage. I'll get to that a little later, but if you use some common sense here, it should already make sense to you. While I have been on this planet for nearly a half century now (goodness, has it really been that long?) and because of my line of work with a doctorate of pharmacology, that involves a lot of science and chemistry, the term has been around in science for a long time and has absolutely nothing closely related to the Latin meaning of the word, or the current day adaptation. But, in all of my time, my parents' time, and my grandparent's time, none of us had ever heard the word used in common/popular language to refer to anything, especially as it refers to gender. The current adaptation of the abbreviation for "cisgender" is "cis." That is a very important distinction. The word "cisgender" includes the word "gender," which is an English word. This might be a rather meaningless distinction since you can trace that word back to other root words from other languages, but it is not a direct copy of the word like "cis" is in this discussion. At any rate, the term "cisgender" didn't come about until supposedly the 1990's from my research, but I hadn't heard of that terminology until perhaps five years ago. So, I don't agree with the term "cisgender" or "cis" for short. There is already a term for a male and a female, it needs no precursor. The term is being used in a derogatory fashion, and also being used to pervert the notion that there are only two genders. So if you are to accept the notion of a "cisgender," you have to agree with the notion that there are other kinds of genders. There aren't. You can take this last part of my argument any way you like.

[@nasonguy]

@@eduardopena5893 Yeah, thanks for elaborating. You've made it clear that you are of the "Old Guard". You bait and switched me with an ambiguous statement. Language changes. Social norms change. The newness of a word has nothing to do with the validity of the thing it describes. You are conflating Gender and Sex. You are implying that "cisgender" means something other than "A person whose gender aligns with their biological sex assigned at birth". To say that "cisgender" is being used in a derogatory fashion means nothing. So is the word "queer". So is the word "gay". Their derogatory use has NOTHING to do with the validity with which they are used in positive and non-derogatory contexts.

[@DeludedOne]

10:48 Yeah, Ham's bs thought stopper is nonsense on several grounds. One of which is the fact that while no human can live long enough to see a star form from start to finish, we are able to see different stages of that star formation, and that's enough to tell us a lot about how stars form. If mayflies were able to pass down information to their descendants, or share it collectively, it might be possible for them to know of houses in different stages of construction, which would also allow them to deduce how houses are built. Another thing is that by simply denying something happened because no one was there to witness it or no one could possibly witness the whole thing, Ken is basically denying a lot of things including the entirety of the Biblical works. After all, no one alive was around to actually see those things happen. Ken Ham cannot simply claim then that the Bible itself is a reliable record when his own statement denounces similar scientific records. It would then boil down to which is actually more reliable as information and evidence which is entirely outside of his "were you there schtick". Finally, Ken Ham's attempts to shrug off applying the same standards to his own worldview by ad hoc asserting that "God was there" and relying on the evidence free assertion that the Bible was essentially written by God. Which of course is simply the hypocritical Christian method of applying different standards to different information.

Right. How do they know that God wrote the Bible? Were they there to see it happen? The idea that no one can know anything they didn't personally see is ridiculous on its face. None of us saw the American Revolution happen. And it's not in the Bible either. I guess we shouldn't believe it happened. We don't even personally see most of what we know about that happens in our own time.

[@eduardopena5893]

You don't know how stars form. You BELIEVE you know based on what you think you see.

[@DeludedOne]

@@eduardopena5893 Based on many observations plus how gravity works, plus what we know about physics and we can piece together how stars form, not to mention we've seen how stars are destroyed. If we've never seen something, does that mean that for any murder that occurred withput witnesses, it can never be known how it happened?

[@eduardopena5893]

@@DeludedOne No, but to prove that somebody committed a murder, you have to prove that case with actual evidence. You can't have somebody go to court and say, "I think this person committed murder," and expect to win your case. Nobody has observed the birth of a star. Nobody has seen a star "form." So there are no observations of this. You think we know how physics and gravity works. Seeing something being destroyed is not the same thing as seeing it being created. You THINK you know how stars form based on limited bits of information and accepting on FAITH that certain things happened. You don't actually have any proof of this.

If you're not going to form or sustain your belief based on evidence, having your public-facing hypotheses explain everything (because they're unfalsifiable and have no predictive power) is the way to go. Otherwise you have to make specific claims about observable things, and then people might notice how often you're factually wrong. Which is bad optics for someone who claims to hold the only correct interpretation of the infallible word of god.

[@broddr]

Most evangelicals not only believe that this world is destined for destruction, they are hoping for that “judgement day” and, for some of them, actively working to make it happen.

18:25 - "They found in the research that sexual activity has not kept pace with identification" I mean, there's no reason it needs to. If someone's bi they don't need to put on a demonstration for you and "prove" it. If people are becoming more open to different ideas of what's right for them, I think that's great. If nothing's really fundamentally changed that much but we're just recognizing and acknowledging (even... wild idea here, *accepting*) something that was already there, that's good too.

[@eduardopena5893]

Nobody is against you. I disagree with your lifestyle choice in the same way you disagree with Ken Hamm's religion and teachings. You can be comfortable being whomever you want. You don't have the right to force others to be, and you certainly have no right coming around my children and trying to teach them about your choices without my knowledge or permission. I believe the trend is on the rise because of a severe lack of access to and availability of proper mental health care in this country.

[@SkepticObserver30]

@@eduardopena5893 ok first things first. sexuality is NOT a choice. in fact if you really think it is i challenge you to choose to be gay. second the statement "nobody is against you" is just plain wrong. you dont know me or anything about my life so for you to claim that anyways simply has no merit. ive been berrated, yelled at, and even had things thrown at me simply bc i was publicly showing rainbow colours or when i was with my bf. ive been told countless times about how i will burn and suffer unimaginable torment in hell for eternity for my "choice" of being gay. as far as children education on sexuality goes, i personally do not go out of my way to teach any child on the subject nor did i claim to, so to bring that up is irrelevant. i will say however i do believe education to be very important and in this context it teaches children people are different and they exist just as much as anyone else and if they themselves realise somewhere down the road thats how they are as well it can be taught to them that 1 its normal and 2 they can figure it out sooner and hopefully live more fulfilling lives by doing so. and i assume by the last part of your comment (please lmk if i am misinterpreting your point) you mean to say that being gay, bi, trans, or what have you is actually a mental disorder when it is not and generally has been known not to be since the 50s or 60s if im remembering my history correctly. mental problems can stem from stigma and discrimination towards those in the lgtb+ community. i personally have experienced sever anxiety and depression from it and the fact that ik that if i were to come out to my family (bc its happened to a cousin of mine) i would be immediately disowned by half of my entire family. i encourage you to research this topic more and hope that you can walk away from it with a better understanding. one more thing, im not entirely sure what youre saying by "you dont have the right to force others to be" im not forcing anything on anyone, i just hope that people can better understand the troubles ppl in the lgbt+ community go through and what actually goes through their heads instead of relying on what i can only assume (bc ive seen it time and time again) what you have heard from various pastors and other religious spokepersons

Damn. I didn’t realize Ham used the “did you observe it?” Argument. I mean, the irony in that is incredible. Astounding. “Hey Ken, have you ever observed Jesus? Have you ever been in a group of people who heard god speak audibly?” No? I reserve my snarky name calling for now.

[@CUtz143]

As a bisexual in a straight passing relationship thank you so much for your understanding of bisexuality. I'm not straight just because the person I fell in love with is the opposite gender, he is just who clicked with me! Id love him just as much if he was a woman or an endby!

I'm bi, and I didn't come out until I was 40 when I met my first girlfriend (20 years ago), after 2 failed marriages. Unfortunately I had no idea that bisexuality even existed in my teens and 20's. I thought that everyone was either gay or straight, and since I'd fallen in love with a man, I must be straight. I am so glad that young people nowadays are more clued in than I was, and confident enough to express their sexuality openly.

I'm an LGBTQ person, I didn't even know I was trans because I didn't have the language to understand what I had felt like almost my entire life. Once I felt safe exploring my gender identity without even knowing that's what I was doing, I did, that's when I slowly found out I'm a girl and my story is not unique, most of us knew we had strange feelings we couldn't explain most of our lives, once we knew what being transgender means, everything fell into place and we started our transition which dramatically improved our quality of life without hurting anyone else in the process. I'm post-op too and I have ZERO REGRETS about it, I'm very happy with my results and if I had to, I would do it again!! Most of us trans people experience those same results after our surgeries, the right is constantly lying about transgender people; if people really wanted to know what it's like to be trans, they should ask a trans person instead of relying on far Right propaganda.

[@eduardopena5893]

You didn't know you were trans because you never were, and you still aren't. There is no such thing. Jazz Jennings might disagree with you. There are many videos of people that are trying to reverse the mutilations done to them because they are more miserable after they've gone through it. You are in store for some severe medical issues in the future. You are eventually going to come to the realization that you aren't really what you think you've become. I am sure you know who Dylan is. "Days of girlhood." Notice he is focusing on the word "girl" and not "Woman." But, that's a separate issue. Dylan has a huge fan who was inspired to go through the mutilation surgery by Dylan (even though Dylan hasn't done that himself) and now they are completely depressed. The videos are heartbreaking to watch.

[@happyraver1958]

@@eduardopena5893 the regret rate among transgender people is between one percent and a fraction of a percent, statistics confirm this fact. What other transgender people have gone through to resolve the dissonance between who they feel they are and how they are perceived by society (gender dysphoria) always comes with risks and we all known them as we are also willing to take them because being absolutely sure that we are in pain for not being able to express to the world and see ourselves the way we absolutely need to is much greater than the risks and pain we go through to modify our bodies to achieve the closest approximation we can to the internal image we have of ourselves. You're weaponizing other people's experiences to deny my identity as a woman, that's not just immoral, it's downright cruel, it's hate disgused as concern for me.

re: identifying as bi and acting on it One of the issues of trying to characterize bisexuals by behavior is that it's not like they are currently having a relationship with both male and female at the same time. It's very likely that they are currently only in a relationship with one or the other. What makes them bi is there attractiveness to both. A bisexual woman could be in a relationship with a guy, which is a heterosexual relationship. But because she is bi, if they were to break up, her next relationship could be with a woman. Or with another guy. You can't tell bisexual orientation just by looking at who they have a relationship with currently or recently or even historically.
