Moi! Tervetuloa kanavalleni. My name is Gage Touko Salander (He/Him) and I am a Finnish American activist based in Tempe, Arizona. I'm a life long learner passionate about sociology, anthropology, film studies, gender studies, and language learning. My academic background is in ecology & plant biology, specifically invasive species management (you can see why I'm studying whiteness right now), I was also a queer studies and film studies student.

Trans People Are Not Having a Good Time
Переглядів 183Рік тому
Just my thoughts and feelings on the wave of anti-trans bills and rhetoric in the US and UK. There have been now 400 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in the US as of the day this was posted. Many trans people are becoming refugees in their own country, seeking medical care and freedom from discriminatory policies in sanctuary states. It's time to take action now! If you are an ally interested in tak...

Thank God my language doesn't care about the gender😅 when you talk Farsi you don't need to think about genders at all. I can talk several hours about my friend and you can't know if my friend is a boy or girl 😅
Wow
I have been actively saving funds as a US Veteran in hopes of preparing a new life for me outside the very dangerous-for-trans USA. I love my country and even did my part to protect her constitution from enemies foreign and domestic, but as a transwoman, I rarely find home among my own people. Sure the local farm has badass fruit and the old diner deserves to be protected as a local landmark for their amazing food and customer service, but as a transwoman I rarely find this place one worthy of recomendation to others like me. This video helped me determine, at least on a legal front, how an older transwoman, done with the process, can find maybe a new home among the finns, while occasionally visiting my parents in the states. All in all, is it safe and welcoming there? Thanks ❤
I prefer to hear from trans people who have actually waited until adulthood to transition. I don't believe that children and teens are ready. They need to wait and see in order to make the right decision, if there will be any.
I have a question, some countries require you to stay for a number of years to get citizenship, can you have the self id if you are an immigrant in one of these countries?
Thank you soo much for this video... this was the one video i was searching for the entire time! Its always these "you already know you're trans" Videos... Finally a video that feels very neutral and not biased at all... i think i just figured out im trans nb... thank you for that!!!
Now that's what I call comedy. This is what happens when you have unfit or absent parents. 3 year old video will never get that popular
has your dog already chosen she/her pronouns or she/her likes to be called doggy
Elon Musk: "How leftist you are wont save you from the leftists of the future."
I love the she they, her him, pronouns. They denote who I will not hire.
Wow, you people even want to control the behavior of people who are ostensibly on your side. And whatever someone does on your behalf, it will never be enough for the RTAs.
This is fking madness!!!
Seems like a whole lot of bullshit to me
Is the g£nocide in the room with us rn?

Hi, your volume is low on your recording.
I'm in shock you are exactly like Bryan Johnson you can be his twin for real.
I myself go by he/they or they/them.
How a whole generation abused a language to get attention
yup
This is what happens when kids in the west have it so easy and win participation trophy’s as kids
Why did you assume that the dog is a she ?? That’s misgendering!!! 3:37 😮😮😮 😂😂
Tim Wise is a great speaker on whiteness
The Scandinavian might also be from your Scottish side. The Islands up north of Scotland was a part of Norway for over 500 years, before they were given away. That said, Scandinavians and Finns had a lot of contact after they came to the US as well.
I haven't had any help at all after top surgery! I'm a little over a week post op. My housemate was around for the first couple days but I didn't need their help at all and they're on a trip now. I feel really fortunate that I've actually been able to completely take care of myself, but it's also kinda bad because I keep accidentally doing things I'm not supposed to (reaching too far, etc...) because I've barely had any pain and I have really good arm mobility. It kinda scares me that I'm going to cause things to heal wrong, but I don't really have a choice with a lot of things since I'm on my own... The only thing I've found that I can't really do is driving. I had to drive myself to the pharmacy on day five and it didn't go very well. I still made it, but I asked a friend to drive me to my post op appointment that's 30 minutes away after that... Lol!
omfg this is terrifying! I am a little over one week post op and my left drain did the same thing, it also is draining only red fluid even though the right side is a light yellow/orange color and it hurts a lot more. I have my first post op appointment tomorrow and I'm so scared now that this is going to happen to me too😭
love them
Everything that is wrong with the world.... take me back 100 years
You mentioned my pronouns at 3:04 in the video I use he/she because I'm a Bigender person (Bigender means you have 2 genders)
Or you can use the universal pronounce that works with all genders sexes and beeings .... muppet, fkwit or idiot 😮
Pathetic excuses of human beings.
Cry about it

No question you're a dude.
Mental problems written all over this 🤡
Thanks for this video! ❣️
Great video! Really helpful

I use Jesus Loves ME
1. I don't really care, as long as I am treated as a human 2. Future is unknown, so there are infinite variants 3. I've never seriously thought about such an idea, actually 4. I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing can be described as dysphoria 5. People can be difficult to communicate with in general, regardless of their gender The conclusion: I am a human being Thanks a lot! Peace!
Iam a girl but i think iam a transgirl btw i always change my pronionuses its He/They i dont think my gender is girl i always think im (MTF)
Hi I am a gay man and I wonder what my pronoun should be?
That’s completely up to you! What do you feel comfortable being called?
This video is changing my perspective. I am neurodivergent I know I am. But symptoms like this can come from trauma. I wondered why did it seem like suddenly I was unable to to things I remember to just do (or seemingly) and the true is life hits us w traumatic experience afta de traumatic experience and I seem to be paradoxically both numb and hiper sensible
😂😂😂 In hungarian language there is no such a thing as he or she only one word for all: ő 🙂
I like to use “que onda wei” It’s simple. You can call any MALE/FEMALE “wei” and it’s all good. No butt hurts, no crying, no one offended😅
Hi! Thanks for your video. I've recently been feeling uncomfortable about the way I look and especially when looking in a mirror. I may be trans. I have to explore it more.
I just don’t feel a girl, I was (sadly) born as one, I never felt comfortable in the ladies bathroom, I always felt like someone was wrong with me, my body, my mind, everything, really. Whenever I go somewhere and someone tells me “Thanks dude” or “Is he okay ?” and my parents just correct them telling them I’m a she/her I just want to tell them to shut up. They look at me weirdly when they see that I don’t correct those that call me like a man. I don’t really feel good in my body and I don’t know if it’s just puberty or that I’m really trans.
Just asked my partner all of these and they admitted they're trans🎉🎉🎉
Most of my friends use she/they and I want to be better at using those pronouns, thanks!
