Poetry and Trans Politics: Darkmatter

[@6iaZkMagW7EFs]

13:30 I feel this. Being trans has made me feel farther from my father, even though I think he would really accept me.

[@EezhamDemon]

You both absolutely killed it. I always love how eloquent you both are. Sending love from a South-East Asian brother in Australia!

@Dark Matter Janani, where is your video from Hamshire College in 2014? I'm searching for it the whole day! :(

[@AlexCantu]

Lovely!

[@ZoraTheberge]

Kay, but where do they shop?

[@ginelleiammarino7195]

I miss back in the day where we could just be gender non conforming men and women without having a million crazy labels and identities and pronouns

[@sebastianbelli4341]

i have a label for you, transphobic, that's the one :)

Palestinians don't need Indian saviors to help them, they can solve their problems themselves. They don't need you to appropriate their culture.

[@saifjamali1737]

*American saviors. Get your rant in order.

[@johannaa1894]

where do they appropriate Palestinian culture?

[@aharper12]

So timely right now

[@treadyster123]

What is their class background? Why do I get the feeling it's "upper middle" and "professional" and maybe even "scared of the hood?"

[@mathewgladden8914]

I wonder if there’s anything Alok would critique about himself or that he doesn’t like about himself. He seems to really enjoy celebrating himself. And pointing out everyone else’s faults.

@@justin.7849 ok...but why?

[@justin.7849]

@Distinguished Gay I agree. But we can critique peoples personality and still respect their pronouns.

[@Oozmine]

@@justin.7849 this was well said 👏

[@saraohm9753]

Alok is a predator

How tf are they Trans? These are men in dresses and makeup 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@11kindpunk11]

A really enlightening discussion. 💙

[@thesuburbanelectric]

How is this "trans" and not cosplay?

[@6iaZkMagW7EFs]

I am trans because I don't identify with my assigned gender. See: 10:25. I am not cosplaying because this is not a costume, it's my clothes. And I'm not playing a character, I'm myself.

[@canseidesersarah]

fucking amazing But I would like to hear 50/50 from both, thank you great ideas very well put.

[@TheIndividualChannel]

When he compared the Natives to transsexual people, it's very offensive.

[@yellow947]

this is absolutely incredible. the first poem is so truthful and thoughtful.

[@lunarlady4255]

Riveting👏🌈🎉 Brings up some memories.

[@thefuture5386]

When woke poetry meets bitter minority. Read: pencil to the ear.

[@sebastianbelli4341]

I just can't stop listening to that first poem, genius!

[@gregoryx330]

Incredible. Thank you.
