Hello and welcome back to my channel.
If you haven't subscribed already,
do that right now.
If you haven't checked out my first video
I'll leave a link at the end of this video for you to do so
Uhm, and let's get into my video.
[Music]
So before I start, I just want to say thank you to everybody who subscribed so far
who's liked my video and who has commented on it.
Uhm, you guys mean a lot to me, and you guys like make me feel really good and
You guys are doing amazing sweeties. The reason why I'm doing a video today
I know I'm usually gonna upload on Saturdays
But the reason why I'm doing a video today on the 20th is because today is Trans Remembrance Day
And on this day,
for those who don't know,
People are typically encouraged to have vigils or events
where they kind of read a list of the trans people who were killed in hate crimes or violence of the previous year.
Uhm, so that they can remember those individuals and
kind of emphasize why we need to fight, uhm,
hate crimes and strive for the realization of transgender people's rights and acceptance into society
It's a lot of history around this day. I can give you a Wikipedia link in the description
Uhm.
And, last week was Trans Awareness Week, which was kind of created leading up to today,
where people just - trans people specifically - just share their stories and share pictures of themselves and
share their transition and just
Make, create awareness that trans people are thing.
Other than that...
Uhm, that's just about why I'm making the video and let's get into the video.
So, the video is 8 ways that we can make
life more pleasant for trans people.
So, way number one is to remember pronouns.
Pronouns are important for a lot of trans people.
If somebody asks you, for example to call them, he/him - it's polite to do so.
And, also, consider other language such as
Uhm, this person would most likely also like to be referred to as Mr or Sir.
Another thing to consider is calling somebody by
their desired name.
For example, if a cisgender person said: "I don't like my first name. I prefer my second name.
Please call me that."
You won't say:
"No, I'm gonna call your first name because I think that's right."
You'd just call them as they see...
As they would like you to call them
So I think it's important to also offer the same respect to trans people.
Personally, I prefer the term 'Correct pronouns' as opposed to 'Preferred pronouns' because I just think
pronouns are correct for that individual, and it's their truth.
And, not 'what they prefer' - which kind of trivializes what it means to them
Secondly,
Uhm I think it's important to listen to trans people.
Genuinely try to understand what trans people are going through and understand their stories.
And also, listen to where you can help as a cisgender person.
Thirdly, I think it's important to evaluate your cisgender privilege.
Often, people don't think about all the extra things that trans people have to think about - almost daily.
because they don't fit into the system with the society.
As a quick aside, for those of you don't know,
Cisgender people
identify as
the gender that they were assigned as birth
at* birth.
And trans people
identify with a gender that they weren't assigned at birth
And the gender that they were assigned at birth is most commonly
according to the external genitalia.
Number four, is to avoid quite a few things.
So, avoid making derogatory comments or inflammatory jokes about trans people.
It's very hateful and unkind.
And also, if you see anybody or hear of anybody making such remarks or jokes,
Offer a challenge to their thinking or correct them and tell them that it's inappropriate to do so.
Another thing to avoid, is to over-evaluate trans people's gender expression, and identity.
Although it might come from a good place,
sometimes it's not nice to tell somebody:
"Oh, I think if you did this,
you'd be more aligned with gender X, or you'd look more like gender X,"
For example,
if you see a trans woman who is clearly presenting as a woman
offering your unsolicited advice and saying: "oh, maybe if you just trimmed your sideburn a little higher
you'd - look more like a woman," is very inappropriate and very
transphobic.
So, don't offer unsolicited advice.
However, there may be a few exceptions.
So, if a friend asks,
who is trans, asks you:
"Uhm, how can I wear this top that, I don't know, it looks a bit more feminine"
I think would be appropriate, there, to offer you advice otherwise if it's unsolicited don't do it.
Uhm
Yeah, and number five, is to stop.
Stop invading people's privacy.
Uhm
Some things are just none of your business. It's not
important for you to know whether somebody has a penis or vagina in their pants,
for example. Or whether someone's on hormones or not on hormones.
I just don't think it's any of your business and...
Fair, there are some people who are willing to share about the transition and about the trans experiences.
For example, I am.
And, in those cases, I think it would be appropriate to engage with those people.
But, if that person no longer feels like they want to engage or on some days
doesn't want to engage with you, and makes it clear,
I don't think it's then appropriate, appropriate to probe them further.
Allow people the space to share when they'd like to share.
Number... five
is to
Be a good Ally
Donate to trans causes or LGBTIQA+ causes.
You can offer your time and services,
depending on where you work and what you're capable of.
You can volunteer, just as a person in these skreets.
You can, uhm,
follow organizations, go to protests, go to rallies.
You can support legislate-
legislation
Yeah, legislation that can, uhm, kind of further the rights of trans people.
For example,
uhm, the passing of legislation that allows for gender-neutral bathrooms, for example, or that
emphasizes the use of...
- or policies that emphasize the use of gender neutral language in a university or classroom space
Uhm, so things like that are ways you can be a good ally, and kind of use your body and your
privilege and just your social capital to kind of help people who are marginalized often.
Number s... six
Haha. I'm just looking down because I have notes.
Uhm, number six is to normalise.
So normalize the experiences of trans people.
Make it okay to
ask somebody their pronouns,
and ask people their pronouns in general.
Make it okay to use gender neutral language.
Use gender neutral language yourself.
Uhm.
I think these are, these are good ways to
make trans people feel less awkward and out of place in places where they shouldn't feel like that.
And then the final point is number 8
Which is to treat trans people like people.
Trans people are people at the end of the day, and we also have the same,
desires, same
thoughts, same behaviors, same like identity as human beings.
So at the end of the day we aren't aliens from outer space coming to steal your kids and convert them into demons.
We are people. haha.
Uhm, so at the end of the day, I think this is just the most important one is to consider that trans people are people and
we have feelings and when you do certain things, those things hurt our feelings and
often disadvantage us in, with various places so consider those things
And if you have any other questions
you can ask me.
If you are trans or a person of the LGBTIQA+ community,
and you had any problems with the things I've said, please contact me in my DMs, in the comments below.
Because I also need to learn a lot.
