    I really am jealous of them being able to outwardly express themselves as they feel like it day to day. I always feel like I’m kinda stuck in the same work uniform and same garb - the only thing holding me back is fear of judgement. JVN and Alok give me hope that there’s more for me.
    Soooo. Lot of the comments here are pretty negative unfortunately. You can tell quickly that most people watched maybe 5 minutes and used that to write a negative opinion, didn’t really listen - they already had and a rationalization of what they already felt rather than open up to something new and integrate a new perspective or hear the more universally agreable things either JVN or Alok said.
    “Narcissism” gets thrown around a lot because most people have little reference or experience of what self-love is. I learned from a young age from my parents that loving who I was was selfish/indulgent. It was later in life I realized that they were wrong. Loving myself and helping others is why we are here. So if you’re scrolling and you see a lot of negativity - just know that it’s a lot of people who aren’t there yet in their journey. Two of us can see the same video and choose to see love or fear… it’s just a matter of where you’re at rn.
    Love you, wherever and whoever you are.

    I‘m a gay 33 year-old man and I‘ve seen society go from mostly hostile and backwards during my teens to being very open and accepting. Until the debate about gender was made the sole focus of all 🏳️‍🌈 and all of a sudden I found myself 'represented' by people like Alok, the community now has to defend trans women winning women‘s college scholarships and teenagers getting surgical gender-affirming care, while laws are changed making it an offense to misgender people who self-identify as xe/xir.
    All I ever get from the trans community is a reminder that being a white cis male is a privilege and that we as «cis-allies» are not doing enough.
    The 🏳️‍🌈 movement builds on 60 years of political activism and sacrifices from predominantly gay, bi and lesbian activists. They were successful over the decades, getting society to welcome us living our love protected under the law. I could really see and feel change.
    What is happening now is not that. It is no longer about us being part of society, loving whom we do protected by the law and accepted as equals, it is about very basic truths and language that all of society is demanded to change counter-intuitively in many cases, it is about attention and power forced on all of society based on a very absolutist extremism, that has nothing to do with same-sex love and equality.
    I think it’s important that trans people get access to the transition they choose, that they’re supported by competent professionals and that we as a society set up a legal framework and process, that presents a thorough evaluation of the best way ahead.
    I will not accept however, that men like Alok, his guest and what they choose to present and identify as, how in this narcissistic recital of shallow generalisations and insufferable affirmations, talking predominantly about themselves and _gripping_ ideas like polyamorous relationships and / or genderless identities as some form of higher ideal.
    We, the human species, are mammals. Our sex is binary. Same-sex orientation is something that occurs in most mammal species. I recognise that there are rare exceptions.
    The Gender Identity lived and discussed in this video has nothing to do with me. I don’t want representation, we have brilliant and wonderful people from our community doing that without having to reduce themselves to just being gay like Ronan Farrow, Tom Daily, Kristen Steward or straight allies like Daniel Radcliffe, Barbra Streisand and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, fighting for a debate and more acceptance where it is really needed.
    Alok gave an interview to the WSJ after SCOTUS ended Roe v Wade and - ... talked about the impact it has on trans and gender-non-confirming people, I mean - who cares about half the population affected by this, when Alok can make it about himself? These people are disgusting. Their behaviour reflects a complete failure of recognition for the world around them and the real problems and challenges we face. I have been accused of being trans -and NB-phobic. I am not scared or hate them. I am a bloke who likes blokes, in masculine clothes and without lipstick.
    LGB DROP THE TQIAS+.
    I AM NOT QUEER. I AM GAY.
    GENDER IS NO SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
    GENDER IS NOT A SPECTRUM
    GENDER = SEX + SEX = BINARY.
    NON-BINARY IS A CONSTRUCT.
    NB & TRANS IDENTITIES ARE AN ABSOLUTIST CULT AND THE DETRANSITION RATES ARE EXPLODING AMONG TRANSTRENDING TEENS.
    VIOLENT TRANS-EXTREMISTS ARE DESTROYING WOMEN’S RIGHTS, ACCEPTANCE FOR LGBS + REAL TRANS PEOPLE, WANT REPRESENTATION EVERYWHERE YET ARE THE WORST REPRESENTATION FOR THEMSELVES AND THE LGBTQIA THE USE AS A SHIELD.
    STOP IT, SAY THE TRUTH. FIGHT.

      If you are a gay man, she does not represent you at all. In fact I think transgender and gender non confirming categories should be separated from LGB categories. Because, the first is about gender expression and the latter is all about sexual preference.
