Lovely! The only thing I would say is, you label people who say that 'gender and sex are the same' as "bad" - this could send the wrong message to youngsters that their misinformed parents and other adults are bad people. I would say something like "some people say that gender and sex are the same thing, they are wrong.". I would say a good chunk of those people are not great people, but also a good chunk are well-meaning people who just haven't learned about gender, sex and expression yet.
I agree with what you said very strongly! Well meaning people can be put on the side of human rights, if you are kind enough and take it slow when you explain enough .
@@e.g.5212 @E. G I agree! References to sex and gender (as well as race, class etc.) are everywhere in our society, so many people don't even see them as something that's critiquable in detail, let alone changeable via organized political action.
@@kaiyodei trans people and LGBTQIA+ educators believing that sex and gender are the same? 🤯 I forgot that there's no such thing as an absolute consensus...
I've heard about this classroom activity, but no one's ever explained to me. it's so cute and edutaining! 🥰 The only thing I'd change about it is the name of the heart label, from "sexual/romantic attraction" to simply "attraction". I'm Autistic and aroace, so more than one person has said to my face (out of nowhere btw) that I'm unable to really feel empathy, or even anything at all, just because I often express my emotions I'm different intensities and situations than most people do: I tend to be a highly sensitive emotional sponge, but when I'm anxious I feel fundamentally disconnected from humanity as a whole. Those two seemingly opposite states of mind can even overlap with one another, bc brains are FREAKING WEIRD.
I can kind of relate to that! I feel like I have fundamentally different emotions and emotional states than others, or that my emotions work in a different way. I also dissociate a lot, so I might appear emotionally numb and I have the 2 opposite states of mind think too! Seriously, society should stop assuming our emotions equal to how we show them.
@@existentialchaos8 You may be neurodivergent, like me! Several neurological disorders, most notably ADHD, make people feel much like we do. Indeed, society should stop assuming that every mind/body works in basically the same way. There's even something called the "Social Model of Disability" according to which many disabilities are, in large part, social issues, not strictly individual ones. Jessica McCabe from the RU-vid channel "How to ADHD" made a great video about this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ALJ3CFRRZpo.html
@@enbyarchmage Yeah, everyone is different and everyone's emotions work in different ways. Society should be more accomodating for neurodivergent people.
So I've been expressing being transgender to my parents as a kid when I ripped the heads of my dolls off and went on to play cars with the boys? When I put on dad's stuff all the time, be it his boots, his hat, hell, his underwater? When I refused to wear pink, or a skirt at all saying it's a girl's color and clothes and I'm not a girl? Because if yes, then congratulations to my parents for overlooking all the signs and now acting surprised about it.
Well, to be fair interests, fav color, and expression don't equal gender ... but if you flat out said "I'm not a girl" and rejected anything associated with being a girl.. yeah, big oof
You guys could have a “gender-bread” making party! (Just make delicious gingerbread but call it something more whimsical) That seems like it would be fun and tasty!
I have a question. So I'm a transgender teen girl and go by she/her/hers. I think my dad is transphobic. I told him that I'm transgender because my gender identity is a girl. I've told him countless times to address me as his daughter. He says, no you'll be addressed as my son. It hurts me to hear him say that. What should I do?
I feel your pain. I'm Non-binary (Libramasculine) and I've asked my brother to refer to me as they/them and call me his sibling and he says "No, you're my sister, not my sibling." I pointed out sibling is used for any gender and he argued "it's only plural, like you guys are my siblings" I said "Sibling is singular though" he still argued "No one ever says sibling though" and it hurts that he won't listen :(
This was very cute. I know this is simplified for children and such, but my one quibble would be saying that people who conflate sex and gender are "bad". They *may* be bad, being rude, etc; but they may be uneducated, or otherwise lack understanding. Their age doesn't matter, young ones may have this as a firmly held belief because that's what their parents taught them, and maybe they've never met anyone whose sex and gender do not align (cis folk). Older folk may have never been taught in a way that makes sense for them (especially cis folk). They are wrong, incorrect, but perhaps they've not been taught differently. (Speaking as someone who is gender fluid, but held such incorrect understandings well into my 30s.)
I assume this is for children. I am not "bad" because I don't think you can so easily separate biology from gender identity and/or expression. Biology is the most interesting part and in it lies the strongest argument in favor of sexual and gender differences. And sexual attraction is a lust for the flesh, which is all about the body.
@@Gregssocks I don’t think anyone denies trans people are humans or that things like gender dysphoria are real. What people are against is saying that a human with an identity/self perception outside of their biological realities actually makes them what they identify as. And that goes for any type of identity that doesn’t aline with reality, from a gender identity, to an age identity, to a race identity, to a non human identity, to a self perception that you are fat when you are skin and bones… etc
@@BeeAnarchic What is your point? He wasn't saying anything wrong or hurtful, he was complaining that in schools you CAN'T discuss this stuff, not that the guy in the video is.
