I fee like OT is that one straight guy who didn't hang out with the gay friend group in high school just because he might not have had anything in common with them, but just on his own understood that the lgbtq community is good and valid, so he knows almost nothing aside from what the comments have told him, but is SUPER supportive nonetheless
Depending on his school, the LGBT+ folk might not have even been out. I didn't know people were queer until after I graduated. I knew statistically speaking, there had to be at least a handful. I'm queer and didn't tell anyone until after graduation.
In history class we've been learning about pirates. Apparently we only know of two female pirates and they "worked together." I've been trying really hard not to say, "And they were crewmates." Edit: It's been two years since I made this comment. As it turns out, my history teacher was not teaching correctly. Thanks to the people who have replied with (real) information! I appreciate you.
It’s true! Ruining History did an episode on it. It is also know that pirates would frequently have a partner that they would spit their earnings with, and even if one died, the other would receive their partners earnings. They also would have marriages (I can’t remember the exact name for them), and it ties into the origins of “matey”!
ADMENTMENT: I was wrong. Mary didn't get hanged. Apparently she was pregnant as well, but she died in prision while Anne got freed. Anne Bonny and Mary Read. The were in a romantic relationship alongside Jack Rackham. When they got captured, the English hanged Jack. As for Anne, supposedly she was pregnant, that's why she didn't got hanged. Some historians said that she left the baby in Cuba and went to live in the USA where she got married, had a bunch of kids and die of old age. Their story is one of the saddest, but also interesting pieces of pirate history ever. Also, male pirates used to marry each other.
Not to mention IVF. Side note: I am in a hetero relationship but still want to adopt with my partner rather than have biological kids and every time I mention this, even in a kind of 'I'm looking forward to raising a child' happy kind of way, my mum goes nuts like it's the worst thing in the world. She literally said to me "you HAVE to be pregnant!" wow. Why are people so hung up on birthing...? It's weird.
@@RagDollCookie Yea. It’s stupid. Oh, so I am a woman and I have to be pregnant? Well think of all the women who got pregnant and couldn’t/didn’t take care of their child/children, and left them at the orphanage? Why not instead of having kids, something that can be hard/stressful, I just go and adopt a kid? Both of us will be having a better life!
@MyBubbleInSpace Also, if it only counts as sex if you are “sharing” things like eggs or sperm, what about when you wear a condom? like is the whole sharing thing only applicable as a way to say lesbians can’t have sex or does it apply to protected hetero sex as well? Like is it slightly homophobic or extra homophobic? Lol

Okay... in his slight defense, maybe he was saying something along the lines of "gayness is a consistent attraction to the same sex. If you have sex with the same gender and decide that it's not for you, then you are not gay", lifted from contrapoints. There could be context were I could see someone making that argument.
@@danawolf3445 I do agree with that. I know a dude who's had sex with multiple guys and gals, but ended up being fully straight. Experimenting is totally cool, and actually i tend to trust people who have asked those questions and done that exploring more than people who just go with the cisheteronormative flow without that self discovery
I feel like part of the thing here is that saying gay sex is straight doesn't work. you can try gay sex and still be straight, but that doesn't make two dudes having sex a heterosexual encounter
@@cothogaming3451 It's easy to forget how much technology has changed and how much of an impact it has. I saw an episode of "Fringe" set in the 1930's, and most of the plot was advanced by the team in the lab telling the field team information through cell phones.
The term for the gecko's who reproduce without males is parthenogenesis! It's a phenomenon where a female animal can fertilize her own eggs, and reproduce this way, which makes males unnecessary in the species. This also means that, outside of some little mutations, all those geckos are genetically identical, so basically clones!
She may be confusing geckos with the desert grassland whiptail. The DGW is a single species of lizard that does reproduce through parthenogenesis. I don't think that all species of geckos are lesbians.
When it comes to the whiptail lizard, they also engage in a lesbian courtship ritual to initiate parthenogenesis, even though there's no mating involved.
Parthenogenesis also isn't exclusive to lizards. Boas for instance can occasionally reproduce through this way, although it's only one baby that's born instead of the usual 16 (can go up to over 50). And due to this, it's unlikely you'll notice until the baby hatches and they finally come out of the mother (boas incubate internally), because the mother won't have the standard gravid appearance due to only having one egg. It is very rare though.
ima say this as a guy, likeing 'girly' things is 'gay' the girliest' thing is the world is a girl so the most GAY thing in the world by that logic is to marry a girl aslo how the heck did gay go from meaning happy to an insult?
Fun fact: things that most consider girly were made for men. Like high heels, dresses(for men and women), makeup, wigs, ect. So when people call u girly for ever wearing any of this just remind them that these things were made for men and women.😁
I've also been thinking of how maybe these biological male corpses found with traditionally feminine clothes and jewerly, could have also been just crossdressing other than being trans And now I can't help but think of ancient drag queens. And ancient femboys lol
Part of me is curious though if any of them were intersexed. It’s rare but people can be inter-sexed and not know it while just living their lives. And how many people were trans and their families erased that part of that person’s life after they died? How many people were LGBTA+ and hid that part of themselves from everyone because of expectations? We get to see so little of people’s lives
Ok so I saw OT literally saying "I'm bisexual" on camera and my first thought "Oh, no you effed up." Then I came to the comments and saw nobody else talking about it. Ya'll are way too wholesome and I have been in too many crazy Fandoms lately apparently. I love you.
This reminds me of the time my friends girlfriend was being hit on by her ex, she then said “ I have a girlfriend! I can’t get back together with you!” He looked them confused and said “but you dated a guy”
As a Non-Binary, Anthropology major who wants to pursue Archeology as a career, I'm hoping to someday bring these amazing LBGTQ+ historical figures the justice and respect they deserve. Love your content OT!❤️❤️❤️
You know it’s great they’ll say “we can’t possibly speculate on their relation ship” but the second they have any reason to think it’s a strait relationship they jump on the that. you either can’t speculate or you can, PICK ONE
I just wanna say, you changed my life for the better. I used to be a very anti trans rights and mostly thought of the lgbtqia+ community as a joke, just some people looking for attention. But after watching your videos hearing actual points against my backwards thought process, I reavaulated how I thought. I now can say that (because of you and your videos) I support the lgbtqia+ community and understand why it's such a good thing.
I know this is a really old comment but just wanted to say a big thank you for being brave enough to post about your personal journey! It's SO encouraging to hear that this kind of mental shift is possible. Esp. at a time when bigots of various stripes seem to be determinedly doubling-down instead of being open to questioning or learning new things... Thanks for the infusion of hope!
I woke up to a bunch of homophobic and transphobic comments on tiktok and my day was already ruined and i was drained of all my energy already. This video made me happy again
i know this is really late but i feel so bad for you. it sucks how people just can’t support someone because they’re different. but just know a lot of people support you! hope it gets better and sending lots of support
Chin up. Keep trekking. People like that have always existed, and I know it's draining sometimes. Take a day for self care and watch a movie you love. Make a watch party out of it. 💙 Take care of you. You is important.
8:49 I'm pretty sure the geckos the person is talking about isn't all geckos, but this one species called the 'mourning gecko' which, yes, reproduce without males. They are parthenogenic, which means they reproduce asexually; once mourning geckos reach sexual maturity they lay eggs, which are clones of themselves (since there is no male to add genetic diversity). However, one mourning gecko cannot reproduce on its own, and does need the presence, and yes 'stimulation,' of another mourning gecko to reproduce, so who's to say they aren't lesbian geckos ;-)
Actually with the penguins one, they released it in Greek because they realized the mating patterns of Penguins were so horrific and evil that they figured it'd be too disturbing for too many to read. If you didn't know, Penguins are known to r*pe each other, eat their dead friends, have sex with other dead penguins etc. It's pretty brutal.
You know what's awesome? When you're writing your book with lgbt rep, as one topic posts, simultaneously talking with your friend over youtube, just a few hours after finding out your fav character is gay, and it's not even 3 yet. Today will be a good day :)
6:38 I don't see a lot of people jumping in to say that an opposite sex couple could just be a brother and sister taking care of the kids while the other spouse takes a break.
13:50 there are a lot of mummies that we have which are in the coffin opposite their gender, not *necessarily* because "gay" or "trans" but rather because people buying/selling mummies basically mixed and matched the most intact mummies with the most intact sarcophaguses. The mistreatment of Egyptian mummy remains was a tragedy and so much culture was lost to exploit it for profit.
Most gecko species require a male and a female to reproduce however, some species, like mourning geckos and vazimba geckos reproduce asexually (they don't mate) and are all female :) Edit: Grammar
@@URFTBOUND4LIFE I hope I don't remember completely wrong, but I think they often still do the do to make the babies happen? Kind of like a stimulus? So, asexual reproduction via homosexual intercourse..?
13:40 “queen” hatshepsut was literally referring to “her”self as male and even changed “her” name to be more masculine, historians still can’t tell why!
Well, one of the theories I've seen the most was that it was just for show, because she was the first female ruler ^^ But honestly a trans Pharaoh is even better :p
Straight people when they see two boys saying they love each other: friendship goals, yeah! Also straight people when they see two boys hugging each other: That’s gay
Me, suddenly remembering the episode of spongebob where Sandy, Miss. Puff, and Karen all high fived while yelling _gal pals_ : *and they were seamates*

I actually believe you can have gay adult time while being strait, because no matter who you have adult fun time with, you can’t change who you are attracted to
@Super Greyflash maybe if they’re questioning their sexuality, they try gay sex and if they’re into it, great, and if not, that’s fine. Im just guessing, I dunno either lol
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs I'm an sex positive ace, so I'm never attracted to the persons I have adult fun time with, but I think if you actually feel attraction you will go for the ppl you're attracted to unless, as already said, you're questioning. But as long as it works and everyones happy, there is no need to judge
sometimes people really wanna bang, I guess. maybe it’s like a forbidden fruit thing, maybe it’s a in denial about finding men sexually attractive thing, maybe it’s open gay men being sexually available to straight men more than straight women(or men percieving it that way), maybe a dude heard that men’s buttholes were tighter and wanted to know if that was true, and maybe it’s with his best friend who might be the only man he’s ever wanted to have sex with, thus he chooses the label “straight”
I absolutely love how OT, this straight man, makes so many videos about us and cares so much. He helps educate so many people while learning himself. Well done, One Topic. I wish all people were as accepting as you are. Thank you.
I've been learning along with him and I love it! I never realized how much hell the community has gone thru and still has to deal with. I've also come to realize I'm part of the community. I'm a proud bi-ace who supports LGBTQ rights. 💜
Somewhere around 14:00, That egyptian is Hatshepsut. They are called the forgotten pharaoh. Idk if they were trans or not but basically the next in line for pharaoh was a kid. They tutored him and essentially acted as the pharoah while the kid grew up. They made alot of progress and I believe they ended up as a co-pharoah. They also ended up presenting as a masculine figure and renamed themself Mahatkare(might have that name wrong) about halfway through their rule and idk if it was to be more respected or if they were trans but yeah that's how they ended up in a male coffin. When they died their co-pharoah destroyed alot of the memorabilia of them so they were effectively erased from history for quite awhile and not much is known about them and that's a big deal for egyptians bc alot of their afterlife beliefs have to do with memory/legacy so ye. I hope me trying to chaotically explain something I spent like a day studying when I was bored a couple months ago is somewhat helpful or entertaining and at least makes a bit of sense. Edit: in case I didn't make it clear I am pretty sure they were trans.
Are you saying they found Hatshepsut's coffin, but didn't know whose it was? Because if they did know, they wouldn't have had to come up with this "mortician's mistake" example, since Hatshepsut presenting masculine is a really well-known thing. However, I don't know why I hadn't considered whether Hatshepsut was trans before. It usually gets explained as a "Oh, a woman can't be pharaoh? Well, what if I wear a beard, then?" kind of thing, which isn't AS implausible for back then as now (when strict gendered career roles are less a thing). But since I've lately been applying the rule of "if they lived as the other gender for basically their entire life, rather than to accomplish some time-limited goal or as a clear fashion/political statement, then they were probably trans"...probably should apply that logic here too. So thanks for that!
@@PirateQueen1720 I don't know exactly what you mean by the question but they had already been essentially ruling for awhile before they started presenting as masculine and though the majority of pharaohs have been male due to the connection between the pharaoh and Horus but there have been multiple female pharaohs. Edit: let me know if I worded any of that weirdly.
I would rather learn about (11:23 - 14:49) in history rather then a whole bunch of little homework assignments I'm going to forget about completely by the end of summer break.
*Dramatic Sigh* I hate the post on r/Sapphoandherfriends because of the LGBTQIA+ erasure but, at the same time I find it so funny how oblivious straight people and the straights™ are. EDIT: It makes me produce a very loud sound either way.
@Olivia Carrender Intersex, is when somebody is born with genitals that don't follow the gender binary. It's different from transgender. Transgender is when somebody is assigned a gender at birth but they know that that gender isn't correct. They're both umbrella terms. Now I'm not intersex or transgender so take what I say with a grain of salt and if any intersex or transgender people correct me take their word not mine. I'm just sharing what I've seen online.

Okay... in his slight defense, maybe he was saying something along the lines of "gayness is a consistent attraction to the same sex. If you have sex with the same gender and decide that it's not for you, then you are not gay", lifted from contrapoints.
There could be context were I could see someone making that argument.
@@danawolf3445 I do agree with that. I know a dude who's had sex with multiple guys and gals, but ended up being fully straight. Experimenting is totally cool, and actually i tend to trust people who have asked those questions and done that exploring more than people who just go with the cisheteronormative flow without that self discovery
I feel like part of the thing here is that saying gay sex is straight doesn't work. you can try gay sex and still be straight, but that doesn't make two dudes having sex a heterosexual encounter
The ancient Egyptian gay dudes is the kind of history I wouldn’t sleep through
I'm sharing the Egyptian lovers story with my mom. She's been confused about why gay and trans people are showing up more in modern times.
One of the things could be because of phones and cameras. Showing someone a photo on the other side of the world wasn’t so easy 40 yeas ago...
@@cothogaming3451 It's easy to forget how much technology has changed and how much of an impact it has. I saw an episode of "Fringe" set in the 1930's, and most of the plot was advanced by the team in the lab telling the field team information through cell phones.
The term for the gecko's who reproduce without males is parthenogenesis! It's a phenomenon where a female animal can fertilize her own eggs, and reproduce this way, which makes males unnecessary in the species. This also means that, outside of some little mutations, all those geckos are genetically identical, so basically clones!
She may be confusing geckos with the desert grassland whiptail. The DGW is a single species of lizard that does reproduce through parthenogenesis. I don't think that all species of geckos are lesbians.
@@david2869 Mourning geckos actually reproduce this way, and are relatively easy to keep in captivity.
@@david2869 Not all species, but at least eight can reproduce by parthenogenesis, and mourning geckos have no more fertile males ^^
When it comes to the whiptail lizard, they also engage in a lesbian courtship ritual to initiate parthenogenesis, even though there's no mating involved.
Parthenogenesis also isn't exclusive to lizards. Boas for instance can occasionally reproduce through this way, although it's only one baby that's born instead of the usual 16 (can go up to over 50). And due to this, it's unlikely you'll notice until the baby hatches and they finally come out of the mother (boas incubate internally), because the mother won't have the standard gravid appearance due to only having one egg. It is very rare though.
ima say this
as a guy, likeing 'girly' things is 'gay'
the girliest' thing is the world is a girl
so the most GAY thing in the world by that logic is to marry a girl
aslo how the heck did gay go from meaning happy to an insult?
because aparently to cool kids being happy is bad, girls suck but remember you can't be gay either!
ik like what logic and human decency was thrown out the window there
Fun fact: things that most consider girly were made for men. Like high heels, dresses(for men and women), makeup, wigs, ect. So when people call u girly for ever wearing any of this just remind them that these things were made for men and women.😁
I've also been thinking of how maybe these biological male corpses found with traditionally feminine clothes and jewerly, could have also been just crossdressing other than being trans
And now I can't help but think of ancient drag queens.
And ancient femboys lol
Little mermaid is actually a trans allegory
Ngl, ancient Egyptians had their makeup game on point. Egyptian drag queens would have been next level.
Part of me is curious though if any of them were intersexed. It’s rare but people can be inter-sexed and not know it while just living their lives. And how many people were trans and their families erased that part of that person’s life after they died? How many people were LGBTA+ and hid that part of themselves from everyone because of expectations? We get to see so little of people’s lives
@@Epsilon-Eleven shiit, yeah!

Ok so I saw OT literally saying "I'm bisexual" on camera and my first thought "Oh, no you effed up." Then I came to the comments and saw nobody else talking about it. Ya'll are way too wholesome and I have been in too many crazy Fandoms lately apparently. I love you.

You know it’s great they’ll say “we can’t possibly speculate on their relation ship” but the second they have any reason to think it’s a strait relationship they jump on the that. you either can’t speculate or you can, PICK ONE
Because they can't sue for reputational damage if they say she's dating a man? What if he's an idiot?
I just wanna say, you changed my life for the better. I used to be a very anti trans rights and mostly thought of the lgbtqia+ community as a joke, just some people looking for attention. But after watching your videos hearing actual points against my backwards thought process, I reavaulated how I thought. I now can say that (because of you and your videos) I support the lgbtqia+ community and understand why it's such a good thing.
We stan personal growth
I know this is a really old comment but just wanted to say a big thank you for being brave enough to post about your personal journey! It's SO encouraging to hear that this kind of mental shift is possible.

I'm pretty sure the geckos the person is talking about isn't all geckos, but this one species called the 'mourning gecko' which, yes, reproduce without males. They are parthenogenic, which means they reproduce asexually; once mourning geckos reach sexual maturity they lay eggs, which are clones of themselves (since there is no male to add genetic diversity).
However, one mourning gecko cannot reproduce on its own, and does need the presence, and yes 'stimulation,' of another mourning gecko to reproduce, so who's to say they aren't lesbian geckos ;-)
And what they mentioned, whiptail lizards, are actually a separate family from geckoes caused by hybridization.
2:56 I like the implication that all Greek people are scientists.
Actually with the penguins one, they released it in Greek because they realized the mating patterns of Penguins were so horrific and evil that they figured it'd be too disturbing for too many to read. If you didn't know, Penguins are known to r*pe each other, eat their dead friends, have sex with other dead penguins etc. It's pretty brutal.
oh.... thats awful. I thought penguins were nice
That’s more than I ever wanted to learn about penguins. They’re so fluffy and clumsy! :(
Oh...... wow......
*blinks* So penguins are Arctic ducks.
Yuck. That might even be the reason in this case but gay censoring is still annoying
I straight up cackled at, "They were tomb mates". LOL
You know what's awesome? When you're writing your book with lgbt rep, as one topic posts, simultaneously talking with your friend over youtube, just a few hours after finding out your fav character is gay, and it's not even 3 yet. Today will be a good day :)

6:38 I don't see a lot of people jumping in to say that an opposite sex couple could just be a brother and sister taking care of the kids while the other spouse takes a break.
13:50 there are a lot of mummies that we have which are in the coffin opposite their gender, not *necessarily* because "gay" or "trans" but rather because people buying/selling mummies basically mixed and matched the most intact mummies with the most intact sarcophaguses. The mistreatment of Egyptian mummy remains was a tragedy and so much culture was lost to exploit it for profit.
I loved his moment of realization about the two "broken" nails.
What does it mean I know it's about Pride But that's all.
Most gecko species require a male and a female to reproduce however, some species, like mourning geckos and vazimba geckos reproduce asexually (they don't mate) and are all female :)
Edit: Grammar
🦎
Then that means they're asexual. Not lesbian
@@URFTBOUND4LIFE I hope I don't remember completely wrong, but I think they often still do the do to make the babies happen? Kind of like a stimulus? So, asexual reproduction via homosexual intercourse..?
@@elieli2893 Yup. If I remember correctly it's 1egg by themself but 2-3 eggs if with a partner.
@@URFTBOUND4LIFE no no absolutely lesbian lol since the lizards are all-female and the process actually requires a mating ritual with another lizard.
I did not know my day could be better, But now it is
I love that profile picture of yours.
@@tortis6342 thanks!
"Friendship" has done a lot of heavy lifting for a very very long time.
13:40 “queen” hatshepsut was literally referring to “her”self as male and even changed “her” name to be more masculine, historians still can’t tell why!
Well, one of the theories I've seen the most was that it was just for show, because she was the first female ruler ^^
But honestly a trans Pharaoh is even better :p
i think it was also because the penguins weren't fussed about if the other penguins consented ...or had a pulse. not just gayness
more like PANguins am I right?
like pansexual penguins.
If you read the text, you'll see a pulse wasn't required.
I mean, I don't require a pulse either. Necro& lesbian 🙂

I actually believe you can have gay adult time while being strait, because no matter who you have adult fun time with, you can’t change who you are attracted to
Then why have adult fun time with someone you're not attracted to?
@Super Greyflash maybe if they’re questioning their sexuality, they try gay sex and if they’re into it, great, and if not, that’s fine. Im just guessing, I dunno either lol
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs I'm an sex positive ace, so I'm never attracted to the persons I have adult fun time with, but I think if you actually feel attraction you will go for the ppl you're attracted to unless, as already said, you're questioning. But as long as it works and everyones happy, there is no need to judge
sometimes people really wanna bang, I guess.
maybe it’s like a forbidden fruit thing, maybe it’s a in denial about finding men sexually attractive thing, maybe it’s open gay men being sexually available to straight men more than straight women(or men percieving it that way), maybe a dude heard that men’s buttholes were tighter and wanted to know if that was true, and maybe it’s with his best friend who might be the only man he’s ever wanted to have sex with, thus he chooses the label “straight”

Somewhere around 14:00, That egyptian is Hatshepsut. They are called the forgotten pharaoh. Idk if they were trans or not but basically the next in line for pharaoh was a kid. They tutored him and essentially acted as the pharoah while the kid grew up. They made alot of progress and I believe they ended up as a co-pharoah. They also ended up presenting as a masculine figure and renamed themself Mahatkare(might have that name wrong) about halfway through their rule and idk if it was to be more respected or if they were trans but yeah that's how they ended up in a male coffin. When they died their co-pharoah destroyed alot of the memorabilia of them so they were effectively erased from history for quite awhile and not much is known about them and that's a big deal for egyptians bc alot of their afterlife beliefs have to do with memory/legacy so ye. I hope me trying to chaotically explain something I spent like a day studying when I was bored a couple months ago is somewhat helpful or entertaining and at least makes a bit of sense.
Edit: in case I didn't make it clear I am pretty sure they were trans.
Are you saying they found Hatshepsut's coffin, but didn't know whose it was? Because if they did know, they wouldn't have had to come up with this "mortician's mistake" example, since Hatshepsut presenting masculine is a really well-known thing.
However, I don't know why I hadn't considered whether Hatshepsut was trans before. It usually gets explained as a "Oh, a woman can't be pharaoh? Well, what if I wear a beard, then?" kind of thing, which isn't AS implausible for back then as now (when strict gendered career roles are less a thing). But since I've lately been applying the rule of "if they lived as the other gender for basically their entire life, rather than to accomplish some time-limited goal or as a clear fashion/political statement, then they were probably trans"...probably should apply that logic here too. So thanks for that!
@@PirateQueen1720 I don't know exactly what you mean by the question but they had already been essentially ruling for awhile before they started presenting as masculine and though the majority of pharaohs have been male due to the connection between the pharaoh and Horus but there have been multiple female pharaohs.
Edit: let me know if I worded any of that weirdly.

@Olivia Carrender Intersex?
@Olivia Carrender Intersex, is when somebody is born with genitals that don't follow the gender binary. It's different from transgender. Transgender is when somebody is assigned a gender at birth but they know that that gender isn't correct. They're both umbrella terms. Now I'm not intersex or transgender so take what I say with a grain of salt and if any intersex or transgender people correct me take their word not mine. I'm just sharing what I've seen online.
@Olivia Carrender Intersex is an umbrella term for anyone outside the biological binary: not exactly biologically male or female.
