Actually, that may not be as far away as you think. I mean, I don't think it's right around the corner but, with some technology that seems doable on the ballpark of within a lifetime (almost) any two people should be able to have a biological child together. Basically, the idea is to pull stem cells from each parent and then make one set into sperm, the others into eggs and boom! There you go. There might be exceptions but practically speaking everyone who could possibly have a kid now and most everyone else this would work for. There has been at least a successful pregnancy with a transplanted uterus but that was with a cis women so idk how use for trans women looks. As far as getting (or getting someone) pregnant the free way idk of any ideas on how to make that work for trans people. But still, I'd love to see a world where any family could have a kid and who knows maybe we'll live to see that! So exciting!

@@solsystem1342 Your last line, "a world where any family could have a kid", we do have that. It's called adoption. There are so many kids out there waiting for a family to love them and give them a safe home. If anything we need to make adoption cheaper and more accessible to good couples because many foster systems are screwed. My sister's HUSBAND had to pay over 10k once all was said and done, and over 8 months to adopt her biological son. It's not like there was a battle either His biological father easily signed over rights. It's even more expensive and time consuming for couples to adopt non biological related children. And this is in Canada. I've heard it's even worse in the USA and other countries.

I remember when a bisexual woman (at my old job) demanded to know if I was queer. I was strongarmed into saying I was asexual and without pause she started talking about wanting dick. Luckily, I'm not sex replused. Also, at the same job, a gay man point blanked asked if I was a lesbian and once again, I told him and his response was "Is there something wrong with you?" So, uh, yeah, that asexual tiktok spoke to me soooo much. Edit: Just an edit (because people asked) yes, I am out of that job now! I was made redundant and left with a decent redundancy so I won in the end! :D I have a different job, and I was asked and didn't say, but the woman who did ask, I knew she had vibes from me, and she started speaking about her gay son. But no one there knows, but I know they know I am Queer because I've spoken about a few women that I, in my own personal asexual way, find attractive.

He followed it up with "What about your maternal instincts? How will you have kids?" I don't know, something about "I'm asexual" seems to make people feel entitled to ask awkward personal questions in the same way that "I'm trans" makes people feel entitled to ask about what's in your pants.

Speaking for my (Boomer) generation - we didn't have (positive) words for many of the sexual orientations or basic information when we were younger. I didn't know that there was a designation for my total lack of sexual interest until a few years ago, about the same time I understood that I have dyscalculia, which is related to dyslexia, but involves only numerals. There's lots to catch up on, and a lot of validating info on the internet - I'm just so glad I live in a time & place where I can do some exploring, and put names to some of the aspects of my personality and brain function.

"But you're so pretty!" Yep. Throughout my 20's I was told I was too pretty to be single. (I'm old, so this was before the word aromantic had entered the lexicon, but I definitely knew that being single was the life for me. It was just a lot harder to explain without the right vocabulary.) People also told my sister she was too pretty to be lesbian. Because if you look a way that cis-het men find attractive, then obviously you should be dating them. The thought process is that all women are really attracted to men because men are so awesome, so if a woman is dating another woman, or dating no one at all, it can only be because she can't get a man. The idea that some of us just don't want to is inconceivable in this kind of mindset. One time some guy (who was probably old enough to be my dad, just for an extra layer of gross) asked me why I wasn't dating anyone and I said, "Because I don't want to." He responded with the classic, "But you're too pretty to be single." I was in the mood to challenge it, so I asked him, "What does how I look have to do with what I want?" And he literally said, "It's about what men want." I was at work, so I figured I couldn't get away with pushing him much more than that, so I just gave him a look and walked away. I always hoped he might have thought about it afterwards and maybe come to some better conclusions, but I doubt it.

I also called myself ace in high school 16 years ago (has minor panic attacking realizing that time is a weird soup) but wasn't actually aware of asexuality as a thing, I just used it to try to describe myself to people because it was the closest thing to explain to my friends that my lack of interest in sex wasn't a prude thing, I just wasn't interested. It was my LGBT+ friends who told me ""asexual" isn't a thing humans can be" and "it's not that you don't like/aren't interested in sex, it's just that you havent had it yet" etc, etc. Being that my friends were sexually active already and I was not, I just kinda assumed they must be right. Ah, if only I could go back and scream at my 16 year old self not to listen to the haters who didn't know any better, would have saved much drama later down the line... Long story short, don't let anyone deny how YOU feel about your sexuality! You know you better than they do.

yea, we give off “the vibes” i figured i’m ace and people have said “ you sound like an asexual” or “what are you? an asexual?” i also have explicitly said i’m ace after both of these and they still don’t suspect a thing somehow. it is magical and sometimes i feel like i am the only person i know with the common sense to connect the dots, like how they act, who and how they act around people, and then explicitly tell me their sexuality.

That reminds me, the town I grew up in had a small tunnel for cyclists under the railway that all the trafic was funneled trough there, but a lot of bullying and sometimes even violence happened there and it became a scary place to be. The gouvernement of the city solved it by placing a giant rainbow flag mural across the span of the tunnel with the Dutch law against discrimination written out of it. One of the coolest things they have done and it was actually effective. No more nasty people hanging around there.

2:23 I came out in the 1990s, and my generation just expected hostility from The Straights when we came out. We just expected them to hate us or act bigoted towards us as a reflex - because that's usually what happened to us back in the 1990s. We LGBT-folk just treated it as a basic fact of nature: The sky is blue; Water is wet; Heteros are going to treat us as not fully human and react with hostility towards us.

The school at 6:30 is Seattle Pacific University (for those who can't quite read it), and while *he* might not be homophobic himself, the school (a Christian university) has a policy prohibiting LGBTQ+ faculty from holding positions (or maybe just full-time positions) at the school. Washington State Attorney General Robert Ferguson has sued the university over their homophobic policies, and the university countersued over the same.

I can confirm that Pete is extrememly homophobic. The policy applies to both staff and faculty. The AG office didn't sue the school. They are just investigating.

There wasn't a lot I liked about high school, but one thing I did appreciate was the district-wide dedication to LGBTQ+ rights. They were required by the district to have signs posted outside every classroom saying "This is a safe space for LGBTQ individuals." Individual teachers or students might be homophobic jerks, but the school district policy was very supportive. And this was from 2000-2004 that I attended high school.

I even tried to volunteer for them but could not get my act together. In every issue I had there were multiple full page ads for Ani DiFranco. I think she kept that magazine afloat.

Yeah, when I was a kid we went to the rodeo every year and my favorite part was near the beginning when a bunch of women on beautiful horses would come flying out in to the ring carrying huge flags representing the nations of all the participants in that year’s rodeo. They’d go around the ring in these circles swooping between each other like a dance, but so fast that when they went by it would literally blow my hair back and people would have to hold on to their hats. It was soooooo cool. The strength and control was amazing, plus it was just beautiful.

A little context on the graduate pride flag video. That is at Seattle Pacific University, a local college, so it's been on the news a lot. They have admitted to not hiring LGBTQ+ staff. Within the last month a lawsuit has been filed against the school board by staff and students. The school is asking a federal judge to protect its right to hire who they do or do not want to base off their religion. Along with the flags at graduation there have been numerous protests on campus by students, other staff members, and the community.

I hoped so, but for the longest time I was so scared he might secretly be bothered by the rarety of... well, not eating cake. We are planning on whatching some Ace related videos some time in the future. We were too tired today, we are moving cities. Thank you a bunch! You really helped me feel more comfortable in my own skin. It is still new, so I and we still have to learn a lot. But we have a starting point. Excuse my english.

The students handled it very respectfully while condemning the board actions. It was fantastic to see him have to accept every single one.
