Soft white underbelly is such a good channel but the comment sections are always filled with people who think they’re clinical psychologists and know everything about human nature.
Tabulae Rasae I’d say that your daughter probably has better role models in confident women like Nicki and Cardi B who are comfortable being themselves rather than a judgemental person like you. Sexually expressive women aren’t a threat to your children.
Tabulae Rasae don’t you think it’s a bit of an insult to your daughter that you think she’d instantly start imitating the behaviour of “illiterate skanks” if she were to even listen to their music/watch them perform? Dunno how old your kid is but I highly, highly doubt women like Cardi and Nicki will rot her brain like you seem to think they will. I really hope that you would accept your daughter even if she did adopt the attitudes & aesthetics like that of Cardi or Nicki.
“I don’t want to fool anybody. I just want to live my life and have people accept me for who I am” Lord!!! This statement touched me. I wish you all good things Rose!
She's "defensive" because she's not quick to let a stranger in her business. She's just protecting herself. I don't see her as "harsh", she's just blunt and straight to the point. She's a "take it or leave it" type of person. Nothing wrong with that.
Her defensiveness broke my heart as it speaks to the constant harassment, disrespect and bullying she has had to endure. She is a fighter and will be well. We should remember this the next time we interact with a transgender person. Everyone deserved to be treated with respect and kindness. Rooting for you Rose!!!
No clue how she was defensive. She was totally level-headed, charming, very relaxed and intelligent. Sometimes Mark asks or says some very dumb things, like telling her she passes very well. What an oblivious thing to say. She is okay to be very slightly taken aback by those kinds of questions, she didn't snap, at the end she's just smiling laughing to herself thinking how dumb this guy is, doesn't mean to be disrespectful, just very oblivious.
@@HuckleberryHim You're terrible at reading people. The constant jittering, the looking around, the tenseness, the quick and short answers. None of that spells "very relaxed". They look on the edge constantly about to snap. You seem to be the oblivious one here, get out of your own head and observe.
@@3volved did we watch the same video? she gave extremely well articulated answers to every question. she asserted her boundaries and her identity. she was not "constantly jittering" just a little restless, but that's a non-issue imo. she probly knew this was gonna be online, broadcast to a large audience, and behaved accordingly. she knew a bunch of dumb-dumb's like you were about to watch her and judge her incorrectly.
@Love Bug I liked her too, but she did strike me as incredibly defensive. Its obvious she doesn't want to appear to have any vulnerabilities. She has been hurt bad and she wears it with her confrontational additude. She said she is always ready to fight. She said she doesn't care what anybody says or thinks about her. That is so sad to me. It's OK to be sensitive,caring , and even vulnerable. All humans are at some level. The tough exterior obviously is coving up a strong and incredibly loving human being that will find her way in this world.
cant describe how much i enjoyed this interview. she knew exactly where her personal boundaries lie, and she corrected the interviewer whenever she felt the need. absolutely adore her
@@tressssah she?? she has balls, not a womb... thats a male who feels feminine , why i dont know , too much estrogen when he was in his mommys belly perhaps... but shes no woman women have follopian tubs and dont produce semen , and cant get prostate cancer.
That's why they turn to drugs bc they know the truth. Imagine living a life that shows that you condone your own abuse. They know they're sick and weird.
i like her ❤️ i appreciate how she explained gender vs sexuality. Her ability to refuse to answer questions should be something we all feel we can do. We owe no one an explanation, “i don’t want to fool anybody I just want to live my life”
Just know that by her sharing her experience in details she could get help and people would be educated. She's clearly going through some stuff, that's why she's being defensive, I feel nothing but compassion for her.
@@sarahwales6276 yeah these are words that were established for a " straight world". Just like the definition of illegal at one point was black people mixing with whites. If you choose to stick with the past then that's your choice but the world is moving on. Deal with it.
@@ptboy18 That was never the definition of "illegal''. I'm sure something concerning the 'mixing' of race was illegal at one point in time, but the definition of the word illegal has never changed.
Wellll she kinda *does* owe him an explanation since he's giving her money to interview her. Not only is she not telling him anything about herself, she's kicking him a little attitude about it too.
She was defensive however she was not mean nor rude. Her sassiness was beautiful and shows her wittiness. I also love how she quickly corrected him several time while continuing with her story because she deserves the respect and she’s gonna make sure she gets it. Love it.
When I was much much younger I used to make fun of someone like her. Being older (50) and more mature I regret my actions. She is a human being and deserves to be herself without ppl harassing her. Oddly enough I am a Christian but I don't believe I have the right to judge anyone. Be you babygirl.
on the contrary, I don’t think that Rose is guarded at all. Perhaps Mark should take a look at how he phrases his questions; some of the words that he is choosing to use are quite disrespectful and judgmental. I realize that he’s not perfect, he’s doing his best, and I see that. I would’ve thought though that by now he would have more insight and enlightenment. 🤘♥️
(She) You bigots. Imagine being so sensitive that someone living their life whilst hurting nobody affects you that personally. The world would be a much kinder place without you in it
@@danilublink7130 There was nothin hell no nothing wrong with Mark's questions. Whatever he would said. nothing would be good. For instance if I am a transgender and you want to know more about me BUT I was yelling a harresment in every minute, how the hell would anybody know anything about me. It is like a game /in Europe in kindergardens. the name of the game is ,,black-white-yes-no,,. So you have to ask each others BUT THERE ARE 4 WORDS CAN NOT BE USE, BLACK, WHITE, YES, NO. The person who asks have to ask a question what can be only answer white for example. like what color the snow was falling all nite. and if u use white you failed. So poor Mark can not use any word regarding transgender life, Rose's life because he fails. Craaaaazy
The problem with that is most of the time they don't tell them now they're making driver license with gender x on them so basically you don't know if you're sleeping with the transgender or not surgery is so advanced it's discrimination if you say something about it it's becoming too much of a problem
There were a few abrasive questions ("dressed like that..." and about her "sexuality"), but Rose handled them so well. I love how she put Mark in his place firmly but gently each time. Really a lovely, confident woman.
@@lauraromdeussen864 that's what I'm talmbout, this outpouring of compassion is unique to transgenders. Why no compassion for those who identify as anything other than themselves except the opposite sex. It's because this is a programming, you don't really feel that anyone can identify as whatever they want otherwise you'd be like "sure Mr toaster oven, knock yourself out". But since popular opinion says transgenderism is normal then you rock and with it. Not your own opinion but popular opinion.
As a transwoman I think she handled herself very well. It's easy for cis people to see her as defensive when in reality, she's just not taking shit from anyone. She still loves and respects people but she is not letting anyone make her feel inferior, and i was proud of her. Because some of his questions came off as mildly abrasive and classist imo. But I'm grateful to know he really cares about these women, and tries to help them when the camera goes off. 💜
thank you for your thoughts. I am straight and thought Rose was being "defensive" I see where you are coming from. Might be nice if we can see Rose open up a little more in a future interview.
@Tabulae Rasae u do know cis isn't something the streets or lgbtq+ people created its actually a medical term. And she actually stated who she was she clearly said she's a transwoman. That's my sister & i stand wit her!
@Robert Britton here i am again, your favorite stalker, what are you so insecure about that you have to point out things and hate what you don't understand? I do understand freedom of speech and thats very important, but where does one draw the line between freedom of speech and just dissing and hating on things that really have no effect on you, like transgenders? Whats it to you that they feel differently on the inside than what they are on the outside? Sure, you and I dont have this issue, but you're just gonna fuck with them because they're reality is far different? I ask you this being serious. Like, its ok to dis and hate things that corrupts your life personally....but these people? Do these people really bother you that bad,to the point of discriminating them, you have a reason for it?
She was way more cooperative than MANY people I have seen Mark talk to. Even if she didn't want to be there, she could tell Mark meant well and worked with him to give a good interview. Stay safe out there, Rose!
My mother said that to myself and my siblings to explain why she would have an issue if any of us were homosexual. Thankfully we never had that issue because she would’ve lost her shit. It’s a real fear for a lot of people. They don’t want their babies to be victims of a society of arseholes.
I didn’t see any of her responses as defensive at all. She answered questions she was comfortable answering and was respectful towards Mark even when he was asking ignorant questions. She helped to educate him the best she could. She said it best at the end “I can hold my own”
@@figo007tv you do know that some people that are born female can't either right? They may have endometriosis, going through menopause, or barren for any reason.
@@figo007tv and what about when she gets surgery? And you do know that clitorises are underdeveloped penises? So all women have little underdeveloped penises. It wouldn't matter if she had one or not. Why are you so obsessed with her genitals??
She’s so strong, and I admire how she handled Mark’s more ignorant questions. He absolutely showed a lack of knowledge in parts of this interview, and she dealt with those moments with patience and self-respect. She knows what she’s worth.
My sentiment exactly. interviewer seems to be huntin for salacious material lots of abuse, lots of violence rite ?? This dude is a creep on a power trip. I liked his little amateur series on the inbred West Virginian family, but these black and white sitdown things are making me cringe
@@DClean I’m hesitant to draw conclusions about his character, but I absolutely agree that there are plenty of off-putting elements to his approach. At the very least, there have been many many times where he’s done things that display a sort of savior complex (such as the time he gave thousands of dollars to a prostitute to get her on her feet, which she promptly gave to her pimp), and he doesn’t seem to be well trained in dealing with a lot of these sensitive subjects. At first, I loved these interviews, but the more that I watch them the more they feel voyeuristic, like a sort of trauma porn. There’s a lot of value that I still see in them, but I have mixed feelings.
I came looking for these comments.....totally agree.... I really thought Mark's questions in this video were ''off".... I'm new to this channel but have watched enough now to feel wary of Mark's motives.
@@violetmartha916 he has said he is "fascinated with how and why people self-destruct" so that is probably why he is focused on trauma and bad things. wondering how someone could get so low. it usually has to do with trauma
Well answered questions but when she said don’t catagorize me to Mark ... when a woman dresses like that she looks like a prostitute unless you’re at a rave or festival so if you’re doing an interview don’t get so bent out of shape and just answer what you do to make money. Also society doesn’t make it hard to get a job but you limit your job opportunities when you walk around like that and have an attitude. Mark was super kind and she wasn’t even reciprocal to him.
I’ve been up all night binging these interviews. It’s just amazing to see how different everyone’s lives are. It’s real life. Not the movies. Such an eye opener
What does it matter if she's defensive? She's very respectful, especially considering that some of the questions asked to her could be seen as ignorant.
That's the assumption most ppl make - the majority of us, are 'not' judging - some interviewed, hang onto pride too much, imo and if we can break down that barrier, through education for all of us, their lives could and can be, a lot easier - for them and for those that can guide them in a way that they can go through life with minimum harassment and let's just put it out there, some find themselves in dangerous situations. All this needs to be addressed and actioned upon for the good of society, as a whole.
Well said so many souls Don't know who they are and look to others to make themselves happy. Unlike her she's belittled by people on a daily. Unhappy low self-esteem beings try to hate throw shade just hurtful words. In reality the bullies are hurting because happy people don't go around hurting others it's a fact. She got strength and wisdom and I hope she can help others that get bullied by their husband co-workers etc. Her voice is to be used in this world for positive teachings. I'm telling she could stop someone from suicide if she just spoke a lil about her life. Blessing and positive energy to her and everyone else.
something she said really made sense to me. as a gay man myself, i have noticed that the people that have a lot of nasty, mean things to me are usually the men in the closet that want me. men that area secure and confident in their sexuality dont bring other men down. food for thought.
Ummm have you met men? It's literally all we do is talk crap to each other. It's bonding. The closer a friendship is the more crap we will talk. Hell you would hate it in the military being put down is 89% of your day
@@JohnGalt916 thank you for clarifying. I hate the blanket statement that any man with an outspoken opinion on such topics must be in the closet. Even though it is common for closeted men to exaggerate homophobic ideas, it is often used as some sort of reverse psychology against men speaking in general on such topics and you know its truly absurd when an openly gay or trans individual is often accused of homophobia when they offer a difference in opinion to a popular LGBT narrative.
Mad respect for anyone who has the courage to live authentically, even if that means living in a state of constant threat of danger. Keep doing you, Rose 🖤
It's weird, she has such a smooth and calming voice that puts me so at ease, but then her personality comes off so defensive and protective. Would really love to hear more from her and about her in a place and setting where she is comfortable and can be open and forthcoming; here's hoping for some follow-ups!
I love that she politely corrects Mark (and the public) on the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity. And the fact she’s been trans ‘her whole life’ but only recently ‘transitioning’. Also asking Mark to not define or stereotype her by how she dresses. Strong. Smart. Surviving.
Trans-women, are not any type of women. We are, in fact, a type of men. Mark as well as Rose, appear to get this fact, which makes them both far more authentic than those trying to fool others who can not see past the surface and whose understanding is so terribly shallow, as to reduce man and woman down to appearances.

I love that Mark focuses and brings light to all kinds of people and their personal stories, however, I often times feel uncomfortable with the verbiage or way in which he asks certain questions to people from the trans community. I absolutely know he means no harm, don't misconstrued that, however they deserve the utmost respect and I think he could educate himself more on how to speak about certain topics with these brave women.
Yea....the 'you could fool a lot of people....you're convincing...' was EXTREMELY disappointing to hear from someone who has already interviewed lots of other trans women..... Didn't sit well with me either....
Yes, I agree.....as much as I like Mark and appreciate his work, I don't always like his questions, tone or lack of response to the people he is interviewing.
Facts! Mark really really really struggles with the trans community and his own ideas of what's "good for them". They are what they say they are. End of story. ✨
As she should...if he’s gonna have trans people on this series, he should educate himself on correct terminology. Her response was so educated and respectful though.
She don’t miss a beat!! Ok honey. She’s smart and good at educating as far as terms, verbiage specifically related to her correcting him with the words gender and sexuality. I hope she’s able to reach her highest potential because she’s an earth shaker. 💕
Mark is such a sweetheart no matter how rude/standoffish rose comes off as he still manages to hold a conversation crack jokes and still be respectful.
He says rude ignorant things sometimes when he has trans women on .. “you must fool people” .. really bro? That stereotype is what makes people not sympathize with a trans woman when she gets murdered .. rose totally clocked out after that stupid comment smh
@@SexyBeautifulBabe AGREED i love this channel and mark is mostly a nice person at least it seems, form what ive seen on videos and his work in general, but we can all admit that some of the comments and sometimes remarks disguised as questions are truly disrispectul and in many ways condescending, the use of the word ''prostitute'' also comes across as odd and kinda sad, other than that a+
Yea Sometimes He Can Be Nice But Some Comments & Questions Aren’t “You Fool A Lot Of People?” That’s Annoying To Hear From A Person That’s Why I Loved Rose For Her Remarks I’m Not Trying To Fool Anyone Just Living My Life” (You Go Girl & I Wish Her The Best). I Also Wish Him The Best This Channel Could Be Soo Much More If He Let It.
@@BS-ti7vr yea mark is pretty much as nice as a boomer can get. he's good in most ways, but has WAY ignorant and outdated thinking. which you think he would change his ways after all these interviews but he never does
"I don't want to fool anybody: I just want to live my life" You go girl. I love your sass, Rose. And THAT reply was spot on in regard to Mark's comment.
Trans-women, are not any type of women. We are, in fact, a type of men. Mark as well as Rose, appear to get this fact, which makes them both far more authentic than those trying to fool others who can not see past the surface and whose understanding is so terribly shallow, as to reduce man and woman down to appearances.
She said it perfectly..... “Marijuana is NOT a drug”...... Period! Along with her gender having nothing to do with her sexuality. Thank you Rose, don’t EVER apologize for being yourself!
I mean weed isn't nearly as addictive as other drugs and has medical qualities but it still quite literally is a drug. driving down the highway totally baked is not a good idea.
I also noticed that trans people tend to be on defense. Because they are so conditioned, to having to be that way. It’s sad cause folks like me who honestly don’t give a hoot what you are, don’t really give thought to it!!!! Sometimes we receive that defensive energy 😞😞
Female to Male transgendered tend to be more normal looking in their transition and way of dressing. Male to female tend to go overboard on the make up, hair, boobs, etc.
It's heartbreaking but understandable. We can still learn from Rose here ya'll ❤️ she's defensive because she's grown up in a society that actively seeks to make it harder for her to live her life as herself. I'm relieved that she is able to be strong. I imagine it's difficult to be open as a trans woman without feeling vulnerable, and while there are trans women that are able to be open and understanding I don't think we should have that expectation of them until we make this place better for them to live in.
Tewdy Quew quite the opposite actually, shes living her authentic truth to the best of her ability. my question is why you watching? clearly you gained nothing from this
Hes more compassionate and done more for everyone in that neighborhood than ANY OF YOU talking shit so really, none of you should say anything bc you sound like DUMMIES
Me too, wouldn't it be a much more better place to live if everyone respected everyone, and got along, and was more understanding towards different people and their issues? I would definitely assume so
@Ris3Up85 haha, I guess, idk..im not into politics, I think they're all terrible, honestly..to some degree✌ I think your personality rocks though! Lol! I think?🤔😆
@Tabulae Rasae ..i have friends that absolutely stand for Trump, and friends that absolutely thinks he's a disgrace. Just by listening to them discuss it though, I think Trump is just a misunderstood person by my friends that think he's a disgrace, idk though..i hate politics
You're beautiful Rose. I hope you don't walk the streets because it's so dangerous and you deserve better. I'm so glad to hear you don't care what people think and that you aren't using drugs. You are stunning and there will always be haters. You could be a model and I'm glad to finally see transgender models who are changing the industry. We definitely need more and we all deserve equality. I love that you don't aim to fool anyone and just be who you are you are.
UNAPOLOGETICALLY TRANS....SAY IT LOUD FOR THE PEOPLE IN BACK...!!!!!! ALL LIVES MATTER...IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF WE WERE ALL UNAPOLOGETICALLY FOR WHO WE ARE!!!!
Rose seems like a beautiful yet hurt human being. I would love to see more of her. I truly wish the prejudices and discrimination that trans women face would end. 💕
Yes Rose OMG!!! I'm a transman & i try 2 explain being trans the exact way! People tend 2 confuse sexuality & gender identity! & what she said is 1000% true a hetero man doesn't care about some1 being a transwoman! I would luv 2 meet this lady! I salute & stand wit u u are my sister!!!! 🙏
Well, there are a hell of a lot of drugs out there and she said she has only tried 2, (or 3 if you think marijuana is in this category). Most recreational drug takers would have tried more than that.
Funny to you. Compared to the people she interacts with on a daily basis, that really isn’t a whole lot. You’re looking at it from the perspective of someone who hasn’t had much experience with drugs, whether personally or through other people.
“I think you’re convincing enough that you probably fool a lot of people.” Mark can come off insensitive sometimes and he seemed very focused on her transition
S Murphy I guess that’s true. I also feel like when the interviewee is defensive, Mark gets nervous and kind of just says things for lack of acceptable, open conversation starters 🤔
How is that insensitive? Isn't that what transgenders aim to do or are doing? I'm not understanding this logic. My brother is mtf and don't care if he's called a man, has no issue telling ppl he's a man or with the fact that I won't call him her. This is how I grew up....seeing men (him and his circle of friends) living as women unapologetically but knew they were men and not trying to convince anybody they should see them as anything other than what they were, trans. I don't see the issue ether.
I really appreciate this channel, but I think it would benefit everyone involved if Mark educated himself on his own time about social issues more. Some of his questions seem judgmental and it felt awkward when she was explaining basic transgender concepts to Mark that he should have already been aware of.
@Tanya Alcala Mark is just trying to give ALL people voices. He doesn't claim to be trained or NEED to be trained in anything. He's been very clear about his ambition with these videos, let's not try to shame him for someone he is not not claiming to be.
Tanya Alcala He was compassionate and kind. No one is perfect and every interview he asks questions to learn more. Feel free to grab your video camera and go do this is Since you imply you’re so versed on all the ins and outs of social behaviors and concepts.
hes a chill and compassionate person albeit ignorant on certain things but like someone stated hes never claimed to be this or that. He's just a guy willing to give people a voice
It feels like he doesn't take it in either. I've head the "fool" comment before from him in another video. There's no excuse at this point of his channel
Strong people like Rose, who go out there and live freely, inadvertently show the world who they are, and create a shift. Change. Very powerful. You are powerful and beautiful Rose. Thank you for your interview. 🦋💜🦋
He also doesn't actually listen. If he did he wouldn't ask if they grew up with both parents and then immediately after they say "no" he asks the same thing "tell me about your childhood - did you grow up with both your parents"... He's done this on more than one of these videos. Not a good look.
I loved her comment "unapologetically trans" well you go Ms. Rose. Andvyour important life lesson "Mind your business" now thats great 👍 advice. Be safe stay pretty and be strong
After watching enough of these, it becomes easy to tell which interviewees just want the money the interviewer offers and are looking to reveal as little as possible. This is one of those.
My face exactly... after a few micro aggressions sis was like ‘scuse me?! Lol... I know “straight job” is slang for legit/legal work but still...it’s like Mark was nervous and trying to choose his words wisely and still fuckin up
Yeah, I was thinking bad choice of words, but he didn't mean anything by it. Also, I think that treating someone fairly means not having to chose your words as long as you are not being mean.
I LOVE the fact that Rose did her eyebrows to match her hair! The effect is wonderful. I'll never understand why members of the LGBTQ community get static in San Francisco. I thought it was a haven for the community, but apparently I'm wrong.
Very well-said, Rose. I have a transgender daughter, and I feel that people are born this way. My child told me who she was at three-years-old. This is so confusing for the parent and especially the child. People who are not Trans or have not raised a Trans child have no concept of what is involved or how difficult this is. Trans people go through so many more challenges and pain in life, but this gives them an advantage by being strong and becoming a survivor. You said it beautifully, Rose, that you don't care what people think. There's so much ignorance out there. All you can do is live your life and keep educating. You're not alone ❤
Ew this video bothered me. I usually LOVE his nonjudgmental neutral tone that he has with everyone he interviews but he was different with her. He usually asks questions, lets them say what they have to say and keep it moving but in this he definitely had extra words and other comments such as saying “dressed like that” he has interviewed SO MANY prostitutes and has NEVER made a comment like that like come on. He also stated that she can “fool” people. His side comments were very passive aggressive. He needs to self assess why he was treating her different because on the outside looking in he definitely was with her and I don’t think she was disrespectful at all or defensive at all. She corrected him. Y’all also like to turn a black women educating someone into “defensive” or “aggressive”. That’s what oppression is in America. She’s beautiful and obviously has needed to learn the art of correcting people in order to stabilize her pride in who she is. Kudos to this queen. 💖
I think the lore of this YT channel is getting to hear from people who are in the *minority* completely unfiltered. Mark is kind of annoying ....... and when you listen closely says some very ignorant things :/ i hope overtime he educates himself to make these interviews better
That's just her experience tho...defensive or not. I've been around a lot of trans folks In the course of my job and the most defensive ones really have had it tough and are fighting for that respect. They are so used to being disrespected and bullied they feel they have to be tough which they do.
Dont ever stop being who you are! Who you are is a beautiful human being and that should not be apologized for. As long as you stay safe, aren't hurting anyone, and are trying to maintain your peace and happiness you are winning!
I give her major kudos just for sitting down for the interview. She is smart, articulate, brave and has a great future in front of her if she wants it. I would be as defensive as she is with regard to talking about herself. There is no upside to this interview for her, and only downside. Mark. if you read the comments, I do wish you would get more educated about trans people.
Eh. Don’t know how I feel about this interview. Maybe past experiences has Rose keeping up a wall but I wasn’t feeling the snarkiness. I’ve also found that if you continually have to tell people “Idgaf” you usually do.....a lot. Maybe the next interview Rose will open up a little more.
@@LeceeMonet she lives in skid row. Dealing with transphobia and hatred. Who would not be defensive. Look at you calling her man. She don't care because if she did...ya would have killed her off by now. Ain't shit about her sparky

“I don’t want to fool anybody. I just want to live my life and have people accept me for who I am” Lord!!! This statement touched me. I wish you all good things Rose!
Exactly
Better world! If only we can respect each differences,. We night not understand others but can ways imagine what each have been through...
Ya and she bad 😏
Couldn’t fool anyone if he was trying
That’s how it started out. “Just want to live in peace”
Now, it’s chants during GayPride, “We’re here, we’re Queer, we’re coming for your children!”
She's "defensive" because she's not quick to let a stranger in her business. She's just protecting herself. I don't see her as "harsh", she's just blunt and straight to the point. She's a "take it or leave it" type of person. Nothing wrong with that.
Exactly
plus the interviewer is busting out with transphobic language. she kept it together well
Anna Bb he’s a mess
Exactly.
Anna Bb his language was NOT transphobic at all.
Her defensiveness broke my heart as it speaks to the constant harassment, disrespect and bullying she has had to endure. She is a fighter and will be well. We should remember this the next time we interact with a transgender person. Everyone deserved to be treated with respect and kindness. Rooting for you Rose!!!
What do you expect they are both insecure but you you both or all put yourself in that position 🤭Combat
No clue how she was defensive. She was totally level-headed, charming, very relaxed and intelligent. Sometimes Mark asks or says some very dumb things, like telling her she passes very well. What an oblivious thing to say. She is okay to be very slightly taken aback by those kinds of questions, she didn't snap, at the end she's just smiling laughing to herself thinking how dumb this guy is, doesn't mean to be disrespectful, just very oblivious.
@@HuckleberryHim You're terrible at reading people. The constant jittering, the looking around, the tenseness, the quick and short answers. None of that spells "very relaxed". They look on the edge constantly about to snap. You seem to be the oblivious one here, get out of your own head and observe.
@@3volved did we watch the same video? she gave extremely well articulated answers to every question. she asserted her boundaries and her identity. she was not "constantly jittering" just a little restless, but that's a non-issue imo. she probly knew this was gonna be online, broadcast to a large audience, and behaved accordingly. she knew a bunch of dumb-dumb's like you were about to watch her and judge her incorrectly.
Yes I'm rooting for you too rose...your stand affirm truth is awesome....love your energy and spirit
I like Rose. She's not rude, but has a tough exterior.
@Love Bug I liked her too, but she did strike me as incredibly defensive. Its obvious she doesn't want to appear to have any vulnerabilities. She has been hurt bad and she wears it with her confrontational additude. She said she is always ready to fight. She said she doesn't care what anybody says or thinks about her. That is so sad to me. It's OK to be sensitive,caring , and even vulnerable. All humans are at some level. The tough exterior obviously is coving up a strong and incredibly loving human being that will find her way in this world.
Seems a bit defensive.
Of course she's tough, HEs I meat.. it's a dude in reality

I’m sad for everyone that feels that their bad childhood should be shrugged off. Child abuse is the single greatest evil on the planet.
That’s true it so apparent from watching the other SWU short stories this man Mark of SWU has a gift he uses well and also knows how to end it too🙃
That's why they turn to drugs bc they know the truth. Imagine living a life that shows that you condone your own abuse. They know they're sick and weird.
I wish for Rose a beautiful life.
Sadly she's super defensive and looks like she's had a rough life
i like her ❤️ i appreciate how she explained gender vs sexuality. Her ability to refuse to answer questions should be something we all feel we can do. We owe no one an explanation, “i don’t want to fool anybody I just want to live my life”
Do you know the definition of Gender is 'One of two Sexes, male or female'? Is biological, not a choice.
Just know that by her sharing her experience in details she could get help and people would be educated.
She's clearly going through some stuff, that's why she's being defensive, I feel nothing but compassion for her.
@@sarahwales6276 yeah these are words that were established for a " straight world". Just like the definition of illegal at one point was black people mixing with whites. If you choose to stick with the past then that's your choice but the world is moving on. Deal with it.
@@ptboy18 That was never the definition of "illegal''. I'm sure something concerning the 'mixing' of race was illegal at one point in time, but the definition of the word illegal has never changed.
Wellll she kinda *does* owe him an explanation since he's giving her money to interview her. Not only is she not telling him anything about herself, she's kicking him a little attitude about it too.
She was defensive however she was not mean nor rude. Her sassiness was beautiful and shows her wittiness. I also love how she quickly corrected him several time while continuing with her story because she deserves the respect and she’s gonna make sure she gets it. Love it.
I hate "sassy" people, just like pimps, there is something so american (usa) about it

When I was much much younger I used to make fun of someone like her. Being older (50) and more mature I regret my actions. She is a human being and deserves to be herself without ppl harassing her. Oddly enough I am a Christian but I don't believe I have the right to judge anyone. Be you babygirl.
Agree. Let God judge were supposed to treat people nicely no matter what.
Rose is so guarded I hope she comes back to tell her story
on the contrary, I don’t think that Rose is guarded at all. Perhaps Mark should take a look at how he phrases his questions; some of the words that he is choosing to use are quite disrespectful and judgmental. I realize that he’s not perfect, he’s doing his best, and I see that. I would’ve thought though that by now he would have more insight and enlightenment. 🤘♥️

(She) You bigots. Imagine being so sensitive that someone living their life whilst hurting nobody affects you that personally. The world would be a much kinder place without you in it
@@danilublink7130 There was nothin hell no nothing wrong with Mark's questions. Whatever he would said. nothing would be good. For instance if I am a transgender and you want to know more about me BUT I was yelling a harresment in every minute, how the hell would anybody know anything about me. It is like a game /in Europe in kindergardens. the name of the game is ,,black-white-yes-no,,. So you have to ask each others BUT THERE ARE 4 WORDS CAN NOT BE USE, BLACK, WHITE, YES, NO. The person who asks have to ask a question what can be only answer white for example. like what color the snow was falling all nite. and if u use white you failed. So poor Mark can not use any word regarding transgender life, Rose's life because he fails. Craaaaazy
“I don’t want to fool anybody” I wish people would understand that that is the majority goal of this population
"I just wanna live my life and have people accept me for who I am". That's it.
The problem with that is most of the time they don't tell them now they're making driver license with gender x on them so basically you don't know if you're sleeping with the transgender or not surgery is so advanced it's discrimination if you say something about it it's becoming too much of a problem
@@stephensmith5724 here's a simple solution - don't sleep with strangers if you are so fixated on what genitalia they were born with.
There were a few abrasive questions ("dressed like that..." and about her "sexuality"), but Rose handled them so well. I love how she put Mark in his place firmly but gently each time. Really a lovely, confident woman.
Ok Laura honest question.. if I feel like I am a toaster oven. Am I then a toaster oven?
@@vintbonner6504 Depends on what happens if you stick your tongue into an electrical outlet.
@@lauraromdeussen864 that's what I'm talmbout, this outpouring of compassion is unique to transgenders. Why no compassion for those who identify as anything other than themselves except the opposite sex. It's because this is a programming, you don't really feel that anyone can identify as whatever they want otherwise you'd be like "sure Mr toaster oven, knock yourself out". But since popular opinion says transgenderism is normal then you rock and with it. Not your own opinion but popular opinion.
@@vintbonner6504 why do u care so much
@@vintbonner6504 and ik your a AKA straight man
As a transwoman I think she handled herself very well. It's easy for cis people to see her as defensive when in reality, she's just not taking shit from anyone. She still loves and respects people but she is not letting anyone make her feel inferior, and i was proud of her. Because some of his questions came off as mildly abrasive and classist imo.
But I'm grateful to know he really cares about these women, and tries to help them when the camera goes off. 💜
So you a man
I think she handle herself pretty well. I tell people all the time no matter what other people think be yourself because you have to live for you.
thank you for your thoughts. I am straight and thought Rose was being "defensive" I see where you are coming from. Might be nice if we can see Rose open up a little more in a future interview.
@Tabulae Rasae u do know cis isn't something the streets or lgbtq+ people created its actually a medical term. And she actually stated who she was she clearly said she's a transwoman. That's my sister & i stand wit her!
@Tabulae Rasae You are kinda right, cis is a technical term used by large only in context of trans-% topics

It’s not who you’re going to be, it’s what you’re going to go through. Interesting.
I felt this part
If one is 12 years old perhaps... Respectfully.
Sounds like a post you read on Facebook but ok
My mother said that to myself and my siblings to explain why she would have an issue if any of us were homosexual. Thankfully we never had that issue because she would’ve lost her shit. It’s a real fear for a lot of people. They don’t want their babies to be victims of a society of arseholes.
It's not what you identify as, its what you're born as
I didn’t see any of her responses as defensive at all. She answered questions she was comfortable answering and was respectful towards Mark even when he was asking ignorant questions. She helped to educate him the best she could. She said it best at the end “I can hold my own”
I've no idea where people are getting defensive vibes from her, she was just speaking directly and with a lot of energy.
i agree 💗💯

She’s so strong, and I admire how she handled Mark’s more ignorant questions. He absolutely showed a lack of knowledge in parts of this interview, and she dealt with those moments with patience and self-respect. She knows what she’s worth.
My sentiment exactly. interviewer seems to be huntin for salacious material
lots of abuse, lots of violence rite ??
This dude is a creep on a power trip.
I liked his little amateur series on the inbred West Virginian family, but these black and white sitdown things are making me cringe
@@DClean I’m hesitant to draw conclusions about his character, but I absolutely agree that there are plenty of off-putting elements to his approach. At the very least, there have been many many times where he’s done things that display a sort of savior complex (such as the time he gave thousands of dollars to a prostitute to get her on her feet, which she promptly gave to her pimp), and he doesn’t seem to be well trained in dealing with a lot of these sensitive subjects. At first, I loved these interviews, but the more that I watch them the more they feel voyeuristic, like a sort of trauma porn. There’s a lot of value that I still see in them, but I have mixed feelings.
I came looking for these comments.....totally agree.... I really thought Mark's questions in this video were ''off".... I'm new to this channel but have watched enough now to feel wary of Mark's motives.
She's strong as fuck for a woman! But that's because she's a man.
@@violetmartha916 he has said he is "fascinated with how and why people self-destruct" so that is probably why he is focused on trauma and bad things. wondering how someone could get so low. it usually has to do with trauma
She gave Mark an education!
FORREAL
RUDENESS ITS ALL THAT WAS!!!
Well answered questions but when she said don’t catagorize me to Mark ... when a woman dresses like that she looks like a prostitute unless you’re at a rave or festival so if you’re doing an interview don’t get so bent out of shape and just answer what you do to make money. Also society doesn’t make it hard to get a job but you limit your job opportunities when you walk around like that and have an attitude. Mark was super kind and she wasn’t even reciprocal to him.

That's the assumption most ppl make - the majority of us, are 'not' judging - some interviewed, hang onto pride too much, imo and if we can break down that barrier, through education for all of us, their lives could and can be, a lot easier - for them and for those that can guide them in a way that they can go through life with minimum harassment and let's just put it out there, some find themselves in dangerous situations. All this needs to be addressed and actioned upon for the good of society, as a whole.
Yeah she seems pretty cool wish her the best 🍀
Well said so many souls Don't know who they are and look to others to make themselves happy. Unlike her she's belittled by people on a daily. Unhappy low self-esteem beings try to hate throw shade just hurtful words. In reality the bullies are hurting because happy people don't go around hurting others it's a fact. She got strength and wisdom and I hope she can help others that get bullied by their husband co-workers etc. Her voice is to be used in this world for positive teachings. I'm telling she could stop someone from suicide if she just spoke a lil about her life. Blessing and positive energy to her and everyone else.
something she said really made sense to me. as a gay man myself, i have noticed that the people that have a lot of nasty, mean things to me are usually the men in the closet that want me. men that area secure and confident in their sexuality dont bring other men down. food for thought.

@@JohnGalt916 that's the dumbest thing I've ever read
@@JohnGalt916 thank you for clarifying. I hate the blanket statement that any man with an outspoken opinion on such topics must be in the closet. Even though it is common for closeted men to exaggerate homophobic ideas, it is often used as some sort of reverse psychology against men speaking in general on such topics and you know its truly absurd when an openly gay or trans individual is often accused of homophobia when they offer a difference in opinion to a popular LGBT narrative.
Mad respect for anyone who has the courage to live authentically, even if that means living in a state of constant threat of danger. Keep doing you, Rose 🖤
Is it truly authentic?
Wtf

Welcome to being a human being.
I love it.."I'm unapologetically trans" (you go girl!)
It's weird, she has such a smooth and calming voice that puts me so at ease, but then her personality comes off so defensive and protective. Would really love to hear more from her and about her in a place and setting where she is comfortable and can be open and forthcoming; here's hoping for some follow-ups!
I love that she politely corrects Mark (and the public) on the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity. And the fact she’s been trans ‘her whole life’ but only recently ‘transitioning’. Also asking Mark to not define or stereotype her by how she dresses. Strong. Smart. Surviving.
Mentally ill his whole life, yeah.
Trans-women, are not any type of women. We are, in fact, a type of men. Mark as well as Rose, appear to get this fact, which makes them both far more authentic than those trying to fool others who can not see past the surface and whose understanding is so terribly shallow, as to reduce man and woman down to appearances.

It's what happens when you feel misunderstood.
Female to Male transgendered tend to be more normal looking in their transition and way of dressing. Male to female tend to go overboard on the make up, hair, boobs, etc.
It's heartbreaking but understandable. We can still learn from Rose here ya'll ❤️ she's defensive because she's grown up in a society that actively seeks to make it harder for her to live her life as herself. I'm relieved that she is able to be strong. I imagine it's difficult to be open as a trans woman without feeling vulnerable, and while there are trans women that are able to be open and understanding I don't think we should have that expectation of them until we make this place better for them to live in.
Not ALL trans people are defensive. Let's not pigeon hole ALL TRANS people, please.

All lives will matter when black lives matter
Rose seems like a beautiful yet hurt human being. I would love to see more of her. I truly wish the prejudices and discrimination that trans women face would end. 💕
Him
Thank u
Her words are healing, very powerful. Great interview!
Yes Rose OMG!!! I'm a transman & i try 2 explain being trans the exact way! People tend 2 confuse sexuality & gender identity! & what she said is 1000% true a hetero man doesn't care about some1 being a transwoman! I would luv 2 meet this lady! I salute & stand wit u u are my sister!!!! 🙏
A heterosexual man doesn’t care, says who? Of course they care.
"I've only done ecstasy, meth and ohh marijuana is not a drug by the way" the "only" part was kinda funny tho
A whole lotta lies going on ..
Well, there are a hell of a lot of drugs out there and she said she has only tried 2, (or 3 if you think marijuana is in this category).
Most recreational drug takers would have tried more than that.
Funny to you. Compared to the people she interacts with on a daily basis, that really isn’t a whole lot. You’re looking at it from the perspective of someone who hasn’t had much experience with drugs, whether personally or through other people.
It’s all relative. It is “only” a small amount for that lifestyle and area.
@Here Come Dat boi Cannabis is a drug like any other psychoactive plant please stop being a silly
Shes an angel. She saved her friend's husband. The ho with the heart of gold is real y'all
Rose, you seem like a cool ass person that deserves way more out of life. 💕
“I think you’re convincing enough that you probably fool a lot of people.”
Mark can come off insensitive sometimes and he seemed very focused on her transition
But with others that are transitioning, he tells them they're beautiful
🤷
S Murphy I guess that’s true. I also feel like when the interviewee is defensive, Mark gets nervous and kind of just says things for lack of acceptable, open conversation starters 🤔
How is that insensitive? Isn't that what transgenders aim to do or are doing? I'm not understanding this logic. My brother is mtf and don't care if he's called a man, has no issue telling ppl he's a man or with the fact that I won't call him her. This is how I grew up....seeing men (him and his circle of friends) living as women unapologetically but knew they were men and not trying to convince anybody they should see them as anything other than what they were, trans. I don't see the issue ether.
He's interviewing, not a therapist
@@Misz561 I love this comment girl! I agree
"I dont care about what anyone says"
"If someone makes fun of me I'll ask them if they want to fight "
Yeah okay.
telling her she must fool a lot of people is so disrespectful...
nina bina not really it’s truth
yupppp
How is that disrespectful?
He's not fooling most. He is pretty but obviously a man.
@@diamondgodisis5367 she's not "fooling anyone" as to her gender. she is living her authentic self as a woman.
I really appreciate this channel, but I think it would benefit everyone involved if Mark educated himself on his own time about social issues more. Some of his questions seem judgmental and it felt awkward when she was explaining basic transgender concepts to Mark that he should have already been aware of.
No...he doesn't have to do shit...he isn't a professional..he's just some guy with a camera.
@Tanya Alcala Mark is just trying to give ALL people voices. He doesn't claim to be trained or NEED to be trained in anything. He's been very clear about his ambition with these videos, let's not try to shame him for someone he is not not claiming to be.
Tanya Alcala He was compassionate and kind. No one is perfect and every interview he asks questions to learn more. Feel free to grab your video camera and go do this is Since you imply you’re so versed on all the ins and outs of social behaviors and concepts.
hes a chill and compassionate person albeit ignorant on certain things but like someone stated hes never claimed to be this or that. He's just a guy willing to give people a voice
It feels like he doesn't take it in either. I've head the "fool" comment before from him in another video. There's no excuse at this point of his channel
Strong people like Rose, who go out there and live freely, inadvertently show the world who they are, and create a shift. Change. Very powerful. You are powerful and beautiful Rose. Thank you for your interview. 🦋💜🦋
I feel as though the interviewer should learn how to speak to people no matter the circumstances .. Certain things that were said were disrespectful.
He also doesn't actually listen. If he did he wouldn't ask if they grew up with both parents and then immediately after they say "no" he asks the same thing "tell me about your childhood - did you grow up with both your parents"...
He's done this on more than one of these videos.
Not a good look.
Something is off about him. He seems demeaning.
Yes I cant stand his interview style
@@ashleyramirez9069 hes ignorant
Don't watch maybe?
I loved her comment "unapologetically trans" well you go Ms. Rose. Andvyour important life lesson "Mind your business" now thats great 👍 advice. Be safe stay pretty and be strong
After watching enough of these, it becomes easy to tell which interviewees just want the money the interviewer offers and are looking to reveal as little as possible. This is one of those.
"A straight job" ... -_-
Exactly!!! I was like WTF is a "STRAIGHT" job?🤔
😂😂
I know I squirmed and thought ‘well, you picked your words in a rather unfortunate fashion right there! Prepare for a verbal smack down’
My face exactly... after a few micro aggressions sis was like ‘scuse me?! Lol... I know “straight job” is slang for legit/legal work but still...it’s like Mark was nervous and trying to choose his words wisely and still fuckin up
Yeah, I was thinking bad choice of words, but he didn't mean anything by it. Also, I think that treating someone fairly means not having to chose your words as long as you are not being mean.
I LOVE the fact that Rose did her eyebrows to match her hair! The effect is wonderful. I'll never understand why members of the LGBTQ community get static in San Francisco. I thought it was a haven for the community, but apparently I'm wrong.
Very well-said, Rose. I have a transgender daughter, and I feel that people are born this way. My child told me who she was at three-years-old. This is so confusing for the parent and especially the child. People who are not Trans or have not raised a Trans child have no concept of what is involved or how difficult this is. Trans people go through so many more challenges and pain in life, but this gives them an advantage by being strong and becoming a survivor. You said it beautifully, Rose, that you don't care what people think. There's so much ignorance out there. All you can do is live your life and keep educating. You're not alone ❤
My two year old tells me she is a monkey. Maybe I should send her to the zoo with a banana.
Ew this video bothered me. I usually LOVE his nonjudgmental neutral tone that he has with everyone he interviews but he was different with her. He usually asks questions, lets them say what they have to say and keep it moving but in this he definitely had extra words and other comments such as saying “dressed like that” he has interviewed SO MANY prostitutes and has NEVER made a comment like that like come on. He also stated that she can “fool” people. His side comments were very passive aggressive. He needs to self assess why he was treating her different because on the outside looking in he definitely was with her and I don’t think she was disrespectful at all or defensive at all. She corrected him. Y’all also like to turn a black women educating someone into “defensive” or “aggressive”. That’s what oppression is in America. She’s beautiful and obviously has needed to learn the art of correcting people in order to stabilize her pride in who she is. Kudos to this queen. 💖
He's probably very attracted to trans women, honestly.
I thought the same
I think the lore of this YT channel is getting to hear from people who are in the *minority* completely unfiltered. Mark is kind of annoying ....... and when you listen closely says some very ignorant things :/ i hope overtime he educates himself to make these interviews better
Because she was defensive from the jump. Makes for a difficult conversation.
Rose put the wall up from the beginning so that made it difficult to really understand her.
That's just her experience tho...defensive or not. I've been around a lot of trans folks In the course of my job and the most defensive ones really have had it tough and are fighting for that respect. They are so used to being disrespected and bullied they feel they have to be tough which they do.
i don’t think mexico is gonna pay for that wall that trump wants
It wasn't hard to understand what she wanted us to understand 🤷🏽♀️
Dont ever stop being who you are! Who you are is a beautiful human being and that should not be apologized for. As long as you stay safe, aren't hurting anyone, and are trying to maintain your peace and happiness you are winning!
I give her major kudos just for sitting down for the interview. She is smart, articulate, brave and has a great future in front of her if she wants it. I would be as defensive as she is with regard to talking about herself. There is no upside to this interview for her, and only downside.
Mark. if you read the comments, I do wish you would get more educated about trans people.
MsMsmak how could he possibly get more educated other than interviewing these ppl almost daily. This is the realest it can get for someone to learn..
When he made the remark about her being able to fool people I actually winced. 😔
@@jungmass I thought He made a few inappropriate remarks. I liked her. She said what she meant and meant what she said.
MsMsmak omg so tired of the whole trans thing like chill they are fighting for rights when it’s their choice
Eh. Don’t know how I feel about this interview. Maybe past experiences has Rose keeping up a wall but I wasn’t feeling the snarkiness. I’ve also found that if you continually have to tell people “Idgaf” you usually do.....a lot. Maybe the next interview Rose will open up a little more.
Agreed
This person is obviously very self conscience
Ditto
He gave 2 million fucks. Couldn’t stop moving & wanted to convince himself.
@@LeceeMonet she lives in skid row. Dealing with transphobia and hatred. Who would not be defensive. Look at you calling her man. She don't care because if she did...ya would have killed her off by now. Ain't shit about her sparky
I love how she relaxed when he asked about her sexuality. She was so tense before that. He is such a calming interviewer. Beautiful 🤗🧠🍃✨
she’s really cool i hope she comes back and does another interview, she’s really smart
She's beautiful, I wish you happiness 😊
Tf!? You women call everything beautiful now days
She is beautiful 😍🥰 ....I agree!
One of the best channels on UA-cam.
"Let me interview you about your life on camera"
Ok, tell me about your life
Person in chair on camera: I don't want to talk about it, doesn't matter, not ready for it
Mark: ok no prob
Bless Mark's heart because he does a damn good job getting their story!!! I love what Mark is doing
This is an incredibly articulate young lady. She needs to be a Speaker or mentor. I hope she finds her calling.
@sellbullion you are a troll.
I’ve been an ally for 21 years but Rose definitely has a wall up and is still healing ❤️🩹 much love 💜
I was reading comments before i watched video. Comment saying that she had attitude and angry.... Well i didn't see that.. It seemed that was sure about herself and content of who she was.... Hold her own... Im happy she's not going through all the struggles of those streets..
You must have been asleep or something. #openyoureyes
She didn’t have an attitude. She was just her. Someone selling her body to survive. I agree with you.
It's the meth
She comes for an interview but gets defensive at almost every single question like Mark is trying to make a dig at her...
In my opinion I think she’s trying her best. She’s defensive due to distrust with previous experiences so it just naturally comes out.
@@Artemis_jay it's still off putting though, not that she cares. But as long as she's aware of it. I mean if she wants to come off like that, its whatever.
I’m sure society has made her that way. Unfortunately she has to be that way, she’s doing the best she can with what this world has given her
She?
Lilith you don’t really get it. J/s
