- Moana sits down with a New Yorker who uses art and humour to provoke conversation and to challenge our misconceptions. Alok - goes by the pronouns they and them - and suggests there are bigger things for society to be frightened than people like them.
I’m so glad this interview came across my feed. Thank you! Every time I listen to ALOK, I am re-energized with hope for a more loving world.
Eloquent, articulate, and intelligent kōrero. Trans have been around forever. Catch up. To those who are afraid, build a bridge and get over it. They're not going anywhere and nor should they.
Sure, but have you seen how hairy he is?
What a beautiful, articulate and kind spirit.

comedy is detox for trauma. Truth
I love Alok so much😭❤
Alok is such a beautiful human :)
God will always have a special place for you son.
*A TRUE* GOD.....👍. Sadly a lot people are following their own idea of god..

Embracing people in all our natural and beautiful diversity is essential to our decolonisation.
Eō! 🙌
Would love to see interviews with our (Aotearoas) takatapui, on a regular schedule
What a deeply meaningful interview. Thank you.
Fantastic video! Thank you Alok for your views I'm with you 100% and Thank you Moana awesome interview.
Omg so excited to see you interview this amazing human!
Beautiful ❤ overwhelming and extremely meaningful . I am transgender and I’m home in me.
See you soon.
Takatapui is normal. Takatapui is the past and future. But We need adult Māori & American Indian State plans. Divided, individualised, vague plans based on passions get trumped by existed Colonial Systems every time. It benefits those selling it, as they can play the vocal rebel inside the existing spectacle. Too many grifters sell a false plan that benefits them inside existing Colonial System Careers.
Shut up...
Sit down Jon Terini and be quiet

What an articulate, grounded, amazing, and connected to self person 😊
lovely
He is not trans or non-binary, just gay
Although I feel that I'm shouting into the void here, I'll make my statement/ask my question anyway. Please, please tell me what special power or knowledge do you think you have that makes you able to make any decision about who, what, or how another human identifies themselves? I've been curious about the concept for a very long time. Enlighten me
I have eyes and ears
@@nmrn148 oh wow! You can see and hear? All that means is that you can say that someone does, in fact, exist, and is making sound. Considering that Alok says out loud how they identify, it seems like your ears aren't working properly. You're not special. You don't get to make decisions for anyone but yourself. You can do that just like anyone else can make decisions for themselves. You can have an opinion for sure, but opinions are not facts.
Maybe not even gay just a narcissistic a-hole. he dresses in outrageous crazy ways and then complains when people make fun of him.
A Brave Soul.
A narcissistic one, rather
@ Well I’m not going to comment on that hun. I’m not qualified.
But I do know that the word narcissist is a term thrown around too loosely nowadays.
Just like “gaslighting”. It’s all rather cliche don’t you think?
🤔
Glamorous?
This is trash
Hi Moana, kiwi transgender woman here. I don't want to be rude and I respect that you've done this interview. However Alok is not a transgender woman and I find it quite offensive that someone who clearly has auto gynephilia is hijacking the term transgender. You have to have dysphoria which means you feel uncomfortable in your male body it is clear that that this person is happy being in a male body has facial hair this is not a transgender woman and this is very offensive to transgender woman who go through medical transition this is an activist who is riding the coattails of the transgender movement and transgender woman that put their lives at risk to trailblaze the way for us girls. Please be respectful to actual transgender woman and please be aware that we are not happy with these non-binary types invading our label. "transgender"
im takatāpui nonbinary and transgender, I have undergone medical transition but this does not make me less nonbinary. it makes me sad that we could be standing together against transphobia yet you are here choosing to bring down others in our community.
@@youtubeguest1962 sorry but being a transgender woman our space is a very specific set of requirements that means you feel female transgender is not non-binary please do not get these mixed up I find this extremely offensive I'm not saying that I don't agree with non-binary that's your space but please don't encroach on ours we fought very hard to be taken seriously as woman we are not non-binary
Thank you for being the light of reason
Alok is non-binary, gender non-conforming & transfeminine, Where did they say they were a transgender woman? You know trans can mean all kinds of things right? I am a enby agender queer person, and like it or not, that comes under the trans umbrella because...newsflash...I'm not cis. You can take your transmedicalist tru-trans views elsewhere, you are sounding like a TERF.
Also you don't have to have dysphoria - euphoria is also a tell. What ridiculousness. If you even are who you say you are, since these are JK Rowling style talking points....
Your concept of beauty is what I challenge
No one said it’s new but the language and self importance is
Grade a narcissist . The way he talks is more important than the words .
@runterator it seems like your the one with narcissistic views my friend
It’s not colonial what about Muslim culture . Asian culture . I’m sorry relating white supremecyy to gender is so disturbing . .
Seee at one minute wanting to say being myself yet talk about it being disassociation there’s no congruence . Each statement separately sound fantastic but when you cross reference himself on himself you soon hear the baloney
Makes you more and more rich.
😂
Not profound. Not even interesting.
Awww... don't say such unkind things about yourself.
You are disaccharide of reality living in ideological wonderland
