- Why does it make sense to use complicated acronyms, symbols and words to describe who we are as people? If we are all merely human beings, why does the LGBT-community insist on using complicated pronouns and acronyms that sets them apart? In this TedxTalk, activist and diversity trainer, Fahad Saeed, will explain why it makes sense to use inclusive language, why minority rights should concern the heterosexual majority and how words that can seem complex, can help set you free as well. Fahad Saeed is an expert on diversity and inclusion. 13 years ago he co/founded Denmarks only organization for ethnic minority LGBT/persons. In his daily life, he works as a communications consultant. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

I am that I am. I don't need anybody’s acceptance. End of story.
Are you an LGBT?
@Aluzky but it doesn't. We are very accepting in the west, we don't care unless it goes against our rights.
@@AM-fh7ek Then you clearly live in a different universe.

The poignancy of my favorite amateur philosopher: Popeye the sailor.
They have deleted over 10+ comments of mine. No swears or calls to violence, simply my opinion on the matter
Whats wrong UA-cam/TedTalks?
I cant share my thoughts on the matter?¿
They are trying to make a safe place jeeeze!
Pretty shameful when you're trying to have a civil discussion and they feel the need to censor. Why not just allow people to tell you why they think you're wrong?
Goobs Dog I honestly don’t get the logic in their censoring. It’s as if they’re scared of being challenged. If they’re so confident in their sentiments, why not openly accept the challenge?
@@luisiana1121 I disagree with censoring but I've also never really seen anyone change their beliefs from a few comments. Unfortunately youtube is so popular and one of it's kind so it can make the rules. If youtube had direct competition maybe things would be different
Orgasmatron 93 competition as a platform?
The fact that u have a bf shouldn’t be apart of your identity. That’s unhealthy
he's trying to make a point as a minority... he's not a part of his identity but it's considered a societal shock factor based on how he looks meaning his ethnic and religious background
Interestingly, they want to be treated the same as everyone, but wanted to be a protected group.
Straight people are protected too, buddy.
Who is being attacked for being straight? Bring me the evidence and I'll support changes to protect them. If you don't have that... then why are you making this argument?
And they want to be Privileged more than others
well if others get attacked they also have the right to be protected, so it’s still the same as everyone
@@communistkiriko lol please tell me where in the world are straight women protected from their violent bf/husband/ex

Hello Ted talks. when do you come to south africa. i am an indian and have lots of topics that we as a community and individuals can speak on and share. when the world thinks of indian they think of Indians from India, but South africa has the second largest community of Indians born and raised in South Africa with our own lifestyles and issues. amazingly not quite similiar to India Indians
i am not understand what he saying
I understand what he is saying i don't feel he explained it good.
Respect is all that matters.

Amazing speach.
And me I belive you sir you help me 😘
Well done
The speaker and audience don't appear to understand irony or hypocrisy.
Also, to identify yourself via your partner is unhealthy.
All this said, I enjoyed the human aspects of the talk. It's a shame that people can't just be.
Humans invented language so we could indulge our natural love of naming things. Why is it suddenly "wrong" when we turn that love inwards upon ourselves?
@Rob Vespa : From where most of us are standing, you are the one who doesn't understand irony and hypocrisy.
And just because Tedx talks about such subjects always have their comment sections taken over by regressives who are so obviously afraid of people being different, does not even imply you are anything more than a minority yourselves. People not only can just be, they just are. So start dealing with it finally.
Aylbdr Madison - I didn’t express what you relayed. You wrote a hateful, manipulative, unwarranted, toxic, and alienating comment under the guise of something else. It’s awful. Just as bad, if not worse, than these other comments you refer to.
Your perspective and base attempt to cause strife saddens me. Consider reflecting on yourself and learning to become healthier and honest. All the best.
Nice
People see categories as boxes that restrain you. I see them as pixels. Sure, you can do a human model with a few pixels... but to represent a real person, you’ll have to use a lot of them. And maybe there are boxes or categories etc... that only represent you partially. Maybe you only partly belong to the views people have of that category, and that’s okay. Those pixels help have a quick understanding of you... but no categories can ever truly replace getting to know a person, and that takes time, and work to repel prejudices. Categories, if they are numerous enough and leave room for self definition, help make a more rounded human being than neglecting them altogether
Beautifully put!
Thank you!
for those who dont understand: he's just saying how we're all labelled and as a minority it can be difficult and complicated to step out of the norm than you're used to. your identity is our own and not what youre labelled as. basically, equality should transcend no matter what or who you are especially in cases where the societal perception contradicts your actual identity
“Equality should transcend no matter what . . . Especially in cases where societal perceptions contradicts your ‘your actual identity’?” How about when reality contradicts those perceptions? Because I do not agree to participate in the delusion that a man is a woman. Or vica versa. I will always oppose lies. Even the ones you tell to yourselves.
@@truthwarrior2149 Agree. There's science and then there's social construct. Funny the LGBTQ++++ community loves to confuse these two concepts.
Go to a Muslim country and give the same speech.
His presentation is a bit clumsy. But basically he is encouraging people to defend themself against those identity factors that society put on them, and that by doing so we all might find our intersections, our common grounds on identities.
Aliano Fann Doing this I was so nervous. Had so much I wanted to say. Sorry it comes of clumsy, but glad some of it makes sense to you.
@@fahadsaeed8909 don't be. Public speaking is a very difficult task. This message is important and needed to talk about, so thank you very much!

Why are you in the comments section debating the wrong topics, when the real question is: Where was the rest of the cast for the Scrubs Reunion???
So what exactly is the takeaway from this video? Is it "study LGBT culture"? It seems ridiuclous to be required to learn about personality traits. Should we put "weeaboo" on passports next?
This seems so disingenuous. The plurality who hold these contrary views feel like ‘human’ include all these identities. We are asking you to come together and join with us as ‘human’. Not to separate into groups under these identities.
But human Doesn't include pluralities. Try and imagine you are an alien buidling a human zoo. What goes into your perfect enclosure?
Do you put trees?
Wheelchair ramps?
Tampons?
A giant cross?
A copy of Stonehenge?
The category of human is so broad as to be useless. We all need air, water, and food. But even in those each human requires a unique diet.
Every time gays ask to be allowed to walk down the street, it doesn't help if that street has no curbs. Without curbs any disabled gays are screwed.
Your not asking us to "Come Together and Celebrate Unity". Your asking us to erase our genuine Needs in exchange for your Comfort. And that is cruel and unethical. And certainly no type of "Togetherness"
Shawn Tomac I have to completely disagree with you. There is so much value in the broadness of the human category. Human includes all these things. As long as one human needs it, it becomes a human need. Accessible curbs on side walks are a human need. Dignity, privacy, nature and tampons are human needs. They don’t stop being needs just because everyone doesn’t need it. Only one human has to need it to fall under this umbrella. I am not trying to erase people or there uniqueness. But I worry about what happens to our societies when we arbitrarily divide ourselves. I think it’s dangerous. To address your first point the aliens ‘human zoo’ would look exactly like earth currently.
@@Creamiie26 How does your use of the word Human result in change?
When wheelchair users first argued that they should be included in society, society pointed at the cost and told them they weren't worth it. They had to come together as a group, then as a group recruit allies, and then petititon society for the changes they needed.
How do you propose these changes occur if people are barred from the first step of coming together and identifying themselves as people with shared problems/solutions?
Shawn Tomac it is a human condition to push back against change. And it is equally a human condition to fight for change. I don’t want you to miss understand me. I believe in the individual. It was an individual who saw a problem. Who gathered a group of people and brought it to the collective for a solution for change. In your example I don’t feel like you stress enough how it was the wider support of other individuals who do not identify with ‘a need to use a wheel chair’ who supported individuals who did. I also want to point out that change is hard and painful and expensive but as humans we have not shyed away from it. those ramps were brought into reality by individuals of varying identities and they are also benefiting individuals with varying identities: individuals with various mobility concerns, individuals who push stroller ... so to answer your question. To bring about change all we need is a willing human.
Also again. I am not against people coming together. Especially with regards to brining about change. My whole is issue is with regards to divisions for the sake of division with no change in mind with no problem to solve.
You're not ready to read my opinion, simply because it's gonna be censored.
honestly. embarrassing from an organization that is supposed to encourage education through discussion.
@@GR33TINGSEARTHL1NGS It's really sad. I've always enjoyed the content that this platform provide...until recently. I'm really thinking of unsubscribing.
@@aliben5642 yeah this is thr first time seeing this censorship for me, but I dont feel good about giving TEDx anymore watch time after this. Ill find some other channel that doesnt pretend theyre something they arent
@@GR33TINGSEARTHL1NGS Good luck. I'm sure there are plenty of other channels with rich content.
This new tactic you regressives are using is only fooling yourselves into believing anyone else is falling for your BS. Your comments didn't get deleted, or they were so hate filled they needed to be.
Really worth watching the video.
If you're not going to show all comments than why not just close out the comments for everyone. You just want to show comments that agree with your ideology. No one can have an opinion, religious belief, or thought that differs. Another media biases video/commentary.
Great speech, Fahad!
Adrian Cociug Thanks Adrian :-)
I learned LGBTQ in 1st grade but it wasnt in that order, being it was the alphabet

This individual goes on about inclusion and diversity. Refers to whole audience as "guys" in first minute... :rollseyes:
0:49 be like "i see where this is going"
Are you playing on stock market? If yes, you know that there are picks and lows. Everything in this world has that fluctuations, especially popularity. I think that now is the pick of lgbt and it will go down, maybe to an awerage, but they deserve to go to all time low. Now talking about it and signalizing virtue pay, but not forever.
Misrepresenting Jordan Peterson's views I see.
Has TED gone downhill, or what?!
for the past two or three months it's all been about "lgbtq", "tardigrades and space", and "social media"
I think so too.
Ted has been infiltrated by minorities.
Its like a slow cancer, spreading slowly, but surely.
@@lostpockets2227 Because these are important issues in current events and media. TED is allowing minority groups to have a voice and start a conversation when mainstream media or political acts neglect them.

@@aaronrosenberg6633 you have to respect our religion 😒
@@AElaraby
"you have to respect our religion."
Incorrect. Respect is earned. I do not overall respect religious ideology as a prescription for moral living. That's because it's indoctrinated superstition and mythology, which itself is a fear-based diseased worship scheme.
I do respect laws that allow people to practice their religions, _as long religion doesn't encroach upon government._
@@aaronrosenberg6633 Yes show your respect please :)
@@fantastic6295 To respect or not to respect ideas is always my choice. Why would you think you'd have any say? Are you pretending to be your imaginary god?

So many homophobes in the comments 😩
I wonder what they’re doing here watching a TED talk, that’s not really the type of content they would enjoy
They just deleted my comment
So everytime i comment something regarding the forced doctrine being spewed to our children I get flagged.
Good on you UA-cam and TedTalks for promoting degeneracy to our kids and thinking it wont have an affect on our civilization as a whole
Only weak and damaged people can be controlled.

Esteban, me too. I actually read yours before it got deleted....the one where you speak of being flagged? My comment was deleted for the word "s0d0m!te". I checked for it on my other channel and it was gone. So I put a few numbers in place of letters, which works for now. They can manually remove comments, but the AI removes based on key words. Try typing your comment again, in a sneaky way. Good luck, and please accept my nomination for "Best Comment of the Day"! You are so right.
Bro there is so many blondes in one place.
Stop trying to cram LGBT down the public’s throat. If LGBT is your community that’s great. No one cares, but people are starting to resent the community as they are trying to tell the general public how we need to live our lives.
You completely missed the point of the talk. Telling us that "no one cares" is simply your way of saying that _you_ don't care, and you _wish_ nobody else cared. Nobody is trying to tell you how do live your life. But they are asking you to see them for who they are. And that really bothers you.
Aaron Rosenberg I can respect your concern but I’m not some bigot. I have friends, good friends in the LGBT community, and I’m not using that as leverage for this topic. What I don’t care about is the daily media grind to bring this as a talking point as if the average individual is out to get the LGBT community. If they were then you would have a case. I care about the fact that we all have our struggles in this world but it’s impractical to try and make our struggles everyone else’s. We are all different in various ways and we should all be entitled to be different in various ways. If someone tells you you need to respect this individual because x, y, and z, I’ll take issue with that’ll day. People need to earn respect from there piers, not force it. I care about all individual but respect need to be earned, not forced! Please don’t tell me what I care and don’t care for.
Elarson222 So it’s more the way it’s brought and not the message itself? Because that I can totally get behind, if someone thinks you’re a duck because you don’t agree with them then they’re the ducks, respect is important.
First of all you can't say l'm Muslim and gey ....it's like saying i'm a priest and a killer....islam is against homosexuelity...but not against the constructive ideologies
Well you’re a Muslim if you believe in Islam, this might be a different interpretation of a certain aspect of the Islamic doctrine but that doesn’t mean he’s not a Muslim. I don’t wanna be a wise a** about it but this argument is known as a no true scotsman fallacy. You can’t say that your Islam is more valid than his when it comes down to interpretation.

Not fully inclusive
The community does not need to be inclusive. It needs to be protective of the people discriminated against. What a silly commment
@@mortiferamorphasmus But they preach about being inclusive smh..
@@AM-fh7ek We talk about the value of inclusion, the truth of intersectionality. Its not "preaching". And as someone who has attended queer groups for decades, straight people are more then welcome to come. What will not be tolerated is homophobia in the spaces that we built for ourselves.

We all have only one identity, we are a creature of one Creator-Allah. We must be worshipping him alone with the pupose of meeting Him. That is the sole purpose of life.
Identity has two sides. One, how people recognize a person. Second how Allah recognizes a person. Worry for the second type.
If you want to dedicate your life to an invisible deity, feel free. That's freedom of religion. Unfortunately, you believe that others must do the same thing you do, and that is not true. As an atheist, I'm still open to the existence of a deity. If only someone could produce the evidence. But any deity that requires worship-a truly diseased concept when it comes down to it-is a corrupt deity, be it imagined or real, and I would never want anything to do with it.
@@aaronrosenberg6633
You have a limited and unknown length of time to follow your self-designed way of life while you are not an authentic engineer of it.
Anyhow your allegation that I want to tie other's beliefs to my belief is invalid because it is one part of my belief (as I am bound to it by Quran) that Islam mustn't be enforced and people should not be coerced to accept it.
@@aaronrosenberg6633
Moreover your self-contradiction is detected from two desires, one that you can accept the evidence of Allah, two that you don't want to accept His right to be worshipped.
So it is concluded that you don't want to discuss Him from true intention of accepting the concept of His presence. He is omnipresent.
@@orophessstv
"You have a limited and unknown length of time to follow your self-designed way of life while you are not an authentic engineer of it. "
Is this supposed to reason your god into existence? It does no such thing. It sounds like a confused threat.
"Anyhow your allegation that I want to tie other's beliefs to my belief is invalid..."
Nonsense. You said, "We must be worshipping him alone." That's _we_ , presuming to tell others that they must follow your mythology.
"....because it is one part of my belief (as I am bound to it by Quran) that Islam mustn't be enforced and people should not be coerced to accept it."
So, you contradict yourself. By the way, you are most likely "bound to it because you were given no other option as a child.
"Moreover your self-contradiction is detected from two desires, one that you can accept the evidence of Allah, two that you don't want to accept His right to be worshipped."
These two things are not contradictory. Just because a god might exist would not mean it requires worship. If your Allah existed and demanded my worship unconditionally, I would spit in its face.
"So it is concluded that you don't want to discuss Him from true intention of accepting the concept of His presence."
That is only bad poetry. I will discuss something's properties once it has been shown to actually exist. Don't pretend that hard work has been accomplished on your behalf. It never has, despite millennia of desperate and brash assertions. Your work is cut out for you, and your baseless assertions are lazy.
"He is omnipresent."
Then prove it. I'm not interested in mouthpieces for a deity that can't speak for itself.
I just say gays and friends, screw this alphabet soup rubbish
You have just lost be good bye
No, you'll be back any time there is such a video so you can make a similar comment. Only other regressives will not see through your obvious charade.
Btw: it's "you just lost *me",* not "you just lost *be". Just how lazy does a person have to be to not put a simple comma or a period before typing "good bye"?
