All of you are welcome on our channel today, as we're going to be reacting to Woke Gender TikToks. Yes, we're entering the LGBTQIA+ realm today. So without further ado, let's get into it. [MUSIC] All right, guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. As I said at the gate, we're going to be reacting to Woke Gender/LGBTQ TikToks, which is a fun series of mine that I got to keep up with on this channel. So we're going to start with who are the LGBTQ+ people voting for in this scenario, a trans person who's apparently voting for Kamala Harris Shocker. Let's see why. Why would I not vote for Kamala? I am a queer person who is assigned female and birth living in America. I have twins who are literally, if I vote for one person in life and safety, if I vote for Kamala. Like, please, life and safety, if you vote for Kamala Harris, if you vote for Donald Trump, you're going to die. Be so furrow right now. Of course, I would vote Kamala. It makes sense that my community of people are supporting and voting for Kamala. The only group who would not suffer under Trump's brain are literally cis white men. That's it, one group of people. I got a pause. I mean, didn't we already have a Trump presidency, a four-year term from President Donald Trump, and how many people in the LGBTQ community died because of it? Please give me the numbers and the stats on that. This individual is probably older than what? Seven and a half years old now, which means they lived through the Trump presidency and managed to make it to the other end without ck-ing. So how are we here, exactly? Anyways, let's continue watching. For people, in America is made up of a lot of different groups of people. Not just cis white men, so it makes a lot of sense why people are backing Kamala. And even a good chunk of cis white men that I've seen aren't even supporting Trump. A man is a compulsive liar. He'll post one thing on social media. And then go and say something else at a rally. Is Trump the one who's guilty of that? We've been fact-checking Kamala since day one. We all watched her whole performance at the presidential debate where she said a whole bunch of lies about fracking, about racial unity, about wanting to take people's guns, about all of her different stances on these issues that she's flipped on, depending on the audience she's speaking to. And we fact-checked that right here. You guys can check out the video, so I don't know that Donald Trump is really the liar of the two. If anything, you might be a little too honest, which people aren't comfortable with. Staying in what he's doing doesn't match up, it never does. A man was using AI imagery to try to swing some of the voters to come and vote for him. I think that is just so sad, that is so sad. But scary at the same time, because AI has gotten so good that a lot of older generations of people can't tell the difference between generative AI and real life. A lot of us younger folk and people who are constantly on the internet can, but not everyone can, and that's terrifying. And honestly, shouldn't even be allowed for candidates to use while they're running for president of the United States. And it's quite literally someone who lies versus someone who has proven through their actions that they do mean good in this world. Kamala might not be perfect, no human, but the most important thing is that she listens. And we, the people, have power to change things, to make a difference, to make our voices heard, and to make people listen to us. Trump doesn't care about us non-billionaires. But Kamala has shown that she's for the people, and I support that. Okay, I mean, not a single shred of evidence throughout that entire video, and I'd be curious what actions Kamala Harris is doing to make you believe she cares about you more than the other candidate, but we all know that this is how it's going to go, especially for the LGBTQ woke crowd, because there is an LGBTQ crowd that is not woke. But for the woke crowd of the LGBTQ group, of course, they're going to be voting for Kamala, and saying that it is a life and death situation, even though we have an absolutely no evidence to substantiate that claim. And I've even seen people on Twitter saying that if you're an LGBTQ plus person and you're voting for Donald Trump, you are essentially committing suicide and killing yourself, which is just such a crazy thing to say. [Music] And we should really question and view with a healthy amount of skepticism, the people who are making these really dangerous claims about a Trump presidency, especially when we consider the fact that we've already lived through one. Anyways, let's continue on to the next. This one is also a transgender individual talking about gender dysphoria and ongoing gender dysphoria. I need to know, oh my god, if it's normal for me to literally have had done every single surgery, and I still have so much dysphoria to the point where right now, I was supposed to go to dinner, and there's no way in fucking hell that I'm gonna go. Because I feel like, is there anyone like that? Like, I am going insane. All right. Yeah, I mean, this is a really interesting video. I do feel sorry for this person who is clearly going through it and probably has been going through it for quite some time. You can see they've gone through many procedures. It looks like facial feminization, as well as other plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures on the face to appear more feminine. It seems like they've gone through many surgeries with the body as well to appear more feminine, and I wouldn't be surprised if they've done the whole list of sex reassignment procedures that one can do. Plus, it seems vocal training or maybe a procedure for vocal feminization as well. And to be honest, before hearing the voice looks straight up like a woman to me in more ways than one, maybe an exaggerated version of a woman, but still looks that way nonetheless. And to see that the gender dysphoria is following and then through all these procedures really points out, I think a little deeper fact about those who experience gender dysphoria and the transgender crowd, and this may not be the case for all, but it is the case for many, that going down this route of sexual reassignment surgery doesn't necessarily fix the problem that you are dealing with, the underlying issue. And that's why I really have to call out the medical practitioners, the scientists and researchers who are pushing forward the narrative that the only real response to gender dysphoria, when it is viewed in patients, is to push them down the route of blind medical affirmation. Because a lot of times you'll find out that these patients go through every single procedure known to man when it comes to switching and changing your gender, and on the other end of it, they are still not okay with themselves. They still feel an incongruence, they still feel as though they can't accept themselves so much so that this individual doesn't even want to go out to dinner, presumably dinner with like friends or family and peers and people who want to be around her, and she won't go. So if we don't address the actual issues that are bringing about the gender dysphoria, we're going to have more cases like this. And that's why you'll see a lot of people go down the path of transition and still end up even more in despair than they were before. Some of them even end up taking their lives. There's really high rates of suicide among this community, even for people who are accepted by those around them and who undergo medical treatment. So this is just, I think, yet another sad example about that. I don't have anything funny or, you know, witty to say about this person. I just feel bad that even though you've undergone all these different processes to change who you are as a person, it doesn't change who you are as a person. And that's what we're trying to scream from the rooftops and people don't want to hear it, at least not yet. They are not ready for it. We're going to move on to another one. This one's on misgendering, which is always a fun topic. So I got served today at the pharmacy and I'm not saying men can't look like this because please go off, kings. But like, I'm not doing damage to masculinity. I think you all are when you serve me, when you call me a man, right? Like, I'm not a man. Don't consider me for the pool of men. And maybe the people who are like, "Oh, masculinity's into decline." Well, stop thinking I'm doing anything with it. I'm not part of that equation. Count me out. I'm sorry. We have to look at this individual. Okay. And of course, when you look at people and when you're engaging with people, whether or not you know it or not, you are making all these different calculations in your brain and then deciding how to refer to them. The first thing that I see when looking at this individual is a full-fledged beard at the bottom of your face, which immediately signals to me that you are probably a man. Now, we can try to escape that reality with feminine clothes, wearing a crop top, wearing skinny jeans that seem to have a bulge coming out of the private area. We can try to mask our masculinity with the sort of feminine traits and characteristics or traits that we presume to be feminine, but it doesn't always work out, you know? As much makeup as you put on, as much feminine clothing as you put on, I'm going to see through it and see that you are actually a man underneath. And maybe that's why you're getting served at the pharmacy. And when you're presenting this very confusing picture to people, where you look kind of like half man, half woman, it's anybody's guess, you know, what to refer to you as. So I don't know that you can get on those people for misdrendering you. When you are putting forward, very clear characteristics of masculinity. That's on you. And this seemingly is a divide amongst the trans community. A lot of trans people say you really have to dedicate your time and effort towards looking like the gender that you identify with. If you want to be gendered in that way out in public, other people in the trans community disagree and say that all you need to do is say that you are a woman or say that your pronouns are she or her in order to be referred to in that way. If I had to lean in either direction, I'd say you probably need to put in a little bit more time and effort if you want to be referred to as a woman. And even then, if people refer to you as sir or he/him, it is not their fault because that is what you are, you know, apologies. Apologies that that's the reality that you find yourself in. But that is where you are. And no amount of makeup or clothing or surgeries or all these different things is necessarily going to change that. But if this individual looked more like the individual reacted to a couple minutes ago, maybe you'd be getting she/her and maybe you'd be getting called ma'am or lady out in public. And that's not on the person who is misgendering you. Sorry next. What is something weird about conservatives? There is a almost a cultish vibe, I feel. The way they operate within themselves, they refuse to listen to outside people, you know, they're refusing to learn essentially. I think that is a large part of it. No, I know whoever sent me this. Don't do this. Sent me up. With the react. Come on now. What am I supposed to say to that? What am I supposed to say to that? When this person is telling you they feel like conservatives operate within a cult. What? I should just remain silent. Just play crickets. Because there's nothing else. I mean, there's a lot going on here. Cloud makeup, green hair. You know what? That's your prerogative. If you want to dress like that. The little like almost like fetish gear that they're wearing on their backpack. Interesting. What I'm really looking at is the tape over the chest. Is that meant to be like a top surgery type thing that you're playing out? Has this individual undergone top surgery? Is this a man? Is this a woman? I don't know what's going on. Let me listen to the voice real quick. Hold on. You used to listen to outside people. You know, they're refusing to learn essentially. I think that is a large part of it. You know what? Are you full? I don't know. I don't know what this person was born as. I'm going to be honest. You guys will have to let me know. You know, I'm trying to look underneath the makeup and everything that's going on there. And I can't figure it out. But I got to say it's screaming cult for somebody who's accusing conservatives of being in a cult. And if you go and give like a quick Google search of like the characteristics of a cult, you'll find that well-leftism falls in nearly every single category and characteristic that is used to measure a cult. And of course, we can cherry pick and attribute the same thing to conservatives. I'll just say at the end of the day, I don't know that this is the person that I'm looking to for a high-powered analysis of conservatives and whether or not they exist in a cult. And that's all I'm going to say about that one. Let me shut my mouth. Okay, we're going to move on. This next one is about gaming. We all know that the video gaming industry has become increasingly woke. Now we're going to turn our sights on a game called Dragon Age, which has unveiled some new character customization that you can do, that of course has to do with gender. Let's find out. But he, him, she, her, and they, them, and then your gender is man, woman, non-binary. Love that. Love the inclusivity. Top surgery scars are also included in this for all of our trans and non-binary roots out there. I absolutely was blown away by this. It's beautiful to see the inclusion in the game and to see yourself represented. Wow, I got to see that again. I got to see the chart again. It says you can put on body scars, you can put the scar shape, the intensity, the color, the discoloration intensity. For those of you who have highly discolored scars and the smoothness, and you can turn on or off top surgery scars. You know what? If you have an audience for this and they want to use it, by all means, I guess customize your game character in this way and allow them to do it. I, I don't know. I don't know that the gaming industry is really asking for this, or if there are just people working within the gaming industry who have found themselves in positions of power who want to usher forward this narrative and are allowing things like this to take place. Most of the gamers that I know and that I've seen online want nothing to do with this in their video games and are actively fighting back or choosing not to play games that are injecting this sort of agenda and ideology into the forefront of the game itself. So I just don't know who this is for or like anybody who is necessarily celebrating this other than the handful of people who have undergone top surgery who also happen to be playing Dragon Age, but I guess go off cis, not cisgender, cis, S-I-S. Sorry guys. You know what guys? All I had to do was scroll down like one page to find out who is behind this and of course it is an actual trans person because there really be nobody else who is ushering this forward and adding this into games. Let's go ahead and read this. This is Corinne Bush who says as a queer trans woman, shocker, I have perspective on the games that not everyone has. Dragon Age has long been a place where LGBTQIA+ folks can see people like themselves represented respectfully. It's inherently very queer and it's such a rare thing for marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted. A younger version of myself to see someone like her in a game. Do you all remember when video games used to be about escapism? When you went to video games to play somebody who was in no way shape or form like yourself so that you could escape from the reality in which you were living in, now we must self-insert all of these different things into games to make ourselves feel represented so that we can live out our very same lives in video game form? It's like when Dwight Schrute is playing my second life in the office. It's just his life pictured in the video game. Who wants that? So much so that his little guy here, he's created his own world. It's called second second life for those people who want to be removed even further from reality. Like even when I think about this from the perspective of a trans person, wouldn't you go into video games and want to play like this like ultra feminine born female character as a form of escapism rather than throwing on like top surgery scars in bottom surgery to your video game avatar? Make it make sense. I don't know, I guess different strokes for different folks but this is certainly not for me and I don't think it's for most who are out there playing games. Whew, that is all we have for today's video. Guys, if you ever see any more videos like this, please, please, please send them my way.
