I feel like I'm pushing the limits of cis toleration and understanding as is by being so forward about the "feminine penis" aspect. But it seems like a lot of trans people want me to push it even further to "hairy tops not on hormones can be women too"—which yes, yes they can!
But in view of the fact that most cis people don't really view ANY of us as women, I'm not sure that's the place to start, rhetorically speaking. But I'd be genuinely happy to be proved wrong!
The feminine penis segment had the Overton Window FLYING in the right direction. So good
You watch Contrapoints? I can't believe it, I love this so much
You try your best to meet cis people on their level without compromising the humanity and respect for trans people as best you can, honestly I think those complaining about not specifically being represented need to realize that's unrealistic and would take up so much time.
It is certainly important to recognize the validity and diversity of gender across the board but we would quite literally be here all day if we were to go through all the possibilities. I think you do a good job by relating instead something that is personal to you.
It would probably go a long way if you wouldn’t mockingly jab at “innate female energy essence!!!” strawmen in your videos. I think by now you can see that’s not what’s being said or what most people are defending and it’s not fair to call people haters for being upset by it
Not to mention the whole "hairy tops not on hormones" strawman from this very thread.
one has to keep in mind what you yourself mentioned near the start of the video, that your videos are primarily for the uninitiated.
You more than most of the Youtubers I watch are actively out to change people's minds. Most aren't, which is fine. Presenting an argument, raising awareness, or just giving a rant that makes people feel less alone, all of these are good.
Sometimes your videos can make me feel a little uncomfortable in the "But no, I reject this transphobic framing entirely!" sense. But it's always worth pushing past that, for me.
i wonder if you would benefit from having a secondary platform where you can talk more candidly about this stuff, addressing a queer audience primarily. your YT channel has clearly become powerful for engaging 'the other side' and actually changing minds, but mixes signals.
the points you're making here make sense to me in terms of trying to present convincing arguments to people whose minds you want to change. but can't we make convincing arguments to them *and* actively cultivate more nuanced views in our own circles?
