supply and demand, what can I say?

yeah the dutch trans healthcare system sucks ass.... it's now 2024 and it's probably worse. I started in the mid 2015s~ and it was already horrible. If i could do it all over again i would honestly just DIY and not even depend on the social system anymore. It's super bad.

Let me put clearly the perspective of the other side, as you clearly havent met them... "As long as universities pump useless activists instead of professionals and politically active adults on the market. Universities will lose funding." And unfortunately, you are helping it by being a jobsless activist with pronoums in their bios. The moment all people drop pronoums and just be normal working people, even if for volutary work, the funding will come back.

9:37 Is "problematic" another way of saying "this thing is true but I don't like it"?

no offense but you look like you snort almond powder and inject almond milk into your veins, people are currently mining lithium in toxic fumes and they actually hate you, they don't give a shit how much you know about them, it's not the government's job to educate you, it's their job to protect you, stfu and stop whining

Turn to Christ. This is not you.

good luck with changing your name!! i'm also a trans guy in poland (teen & pre-t, waiting for my binder to arrive) i'm so lucky that my last name isn't gendered (ends in -a in both genders) much support to you!!!

Why should the government pay for your humanities education? I deeply value the humanities, but I really don't understand why other people's tax money should pay for you or me to study anything. It's not a right. I'm assuming you are not even a theist, so where exactly do rights come from in your philosophy if not from God? If there is no absolute, then on what ground can you make such specific demands? And you speak about capitalism as though it's a bad thing, while living off of its largess. What sort of actual society are you comparing it to? (Please don't cite some fantasied ideal but a real example of an actual alternative in which you would somehow have greater liberty and wealth.) Where did you get your anti-capitalist ideas? Oh, I know - at university. Another reason capitalist societies shouldn't pay for the humanities - these departments are overrun with radical neo-Marxist ideologues who poison the minds of their students with utopian deceptions. This is Rudi Dutschke's "long march through the institutions." And once that march is done, your generation or the next will vote in the hard left, dismantle liberal society, and institute the sort of totalitarian Marxist hell you are so lucky to have been spared. And guess what happens then? The people who actually have to live in that world will suffer more and more until they revolt and free themselves and embrace capitalism. The irony is that market capitalism allows for the sort of decadent ideas your generation has embraced - everything is about the self, atomized and disconnected from any sense of reciprocity. Your woke ideology is ironically a reflection of the excesses of the very system you revile. Capitalism needs to be moderated by a strong civil society, religion, and close family bonds. Without this, it will turn everyone into a (very profitable) snowflake.

"Growth" is not only about economics. It is also about humanitarian and philosophical endeavors. It's merely utilitarian for people to ask, "What can you do with this?" Human development is much more than just focusing on capital. We must consider that we all contribute when we are well educated and that this benefits ALL of us, especially culturally. Sadly, so many would rather spend money on bullets and tanks and missiles, all of which destroy rather than build up our civilization. Sigh.

A great video, thank you. I'm from the Orkney isles which were exclusively Viking, (Norse) and we have lots of symbols on stones, brochs, etc. I would love to get your take on these symbols.

They have your replacements to pay for

When I saw the thumbnail I thought of the SpongeBob meme “Just picture him in his underwear. Oh no! He’s hot!!!” 😂

Jesus..Im telling you...dont lose who you are to a agenda, spiritually based. Emotions taught from outside, have convinced you you werent good enough. This is known as an abomination. CIA actually studied how to use ideas and media images to open you up spiritually to allow a desecrated spirit in..then it begens to make you think you are thinking for yourself. The most hidden CIA experiment is code named.. Mind Virus. This has you. Jesus was the only way i finally seen what they told me i was..when i wasnt. Reverse yourself. Find whats real. God bless you and may Jesus find your heart.

Ha!!! You caught me filming during nytt land 😂

Great presentation! Humans seem to be predisposed to view the past (as well as the present) through their need to be "right" or "correct". Of course, being "right" or "correct" negates any objectivity about the reality of human existence. in the study of history (as, I think as well, in science) we should be careful of making predetermined decisions based upon what we think rather than what can be proven. Even the rigorous investigations of both disciplines can sometimes find that assumptions were wrong and need to be reconsidered. Thanks for your observations!

I hope they arent

1. I've always felt bad because I can't find a single version of Bewoulf with a relatively original context, because all of them are christianized. 2. For me, projection can be comprehended and justified. In nearly every context, even the cruel ones, like the human baby sacrifices to Moloch. Here, if a christian monk looks at the pagan gods and costumes as lesser and potentially evil, it's natural he will said it in his writing one way or another; the apparent neutrality of language is a relatively recent rule on the academic context, and even more recently the rule has been broken by the political circumstances: for example, some years ago the APA apologized for showing some sort of politically incorrect evidence; and here, you don't ask for comprehension of the projection, but directly for "justification", which is promoting a moral judgement over the monk's actions, because comprehend is easier than justify, and you, probably, are on the oppositionist side against the projection, so you don't want people think you are neutral or supporter of the bias. You are not evil, but I feel like you have done exactly the same as the monk: you have judged his point of view as lesser, and your work reflects it. Congrats! You're human too! Don't worry! 😅 When I discovered in my own point of view what I said in 2, I was very nervous because I didn't want to become radical or something like that; so my choise was to mention my own biases in my opinions, and think out of my own box: that weakens my arguments, but improves the neutrality effect; if done well, the point will be showed without need of polemics because I "solved" them myself before their emerging. For example, once I recognize I'm currently on the antifeminist spectre, I can talk about the androcentric bias on certain works without looking too lefty: some people (silly or radical) will call me hypocrite, but I know my own point of view better than them, and I, for my own values, am sure I have not forcing my opinion, but making a healthy space for it aside of the evidence; in any case, it needs a... good level on self-criticism, and nowadays that's not too common, and, even if you are neutral, the public can sometimes try to push you to one of the extremes of the political spectrum. Anyways, nice work; I've had liked some quotes with the evidence of the biases, specially because being a secondary character created "just for a role" is not bad for me: male characters are frequently as plain as female characters, and sometimes is the reader (classic or postmodern) who has a bias against the female characters, and they simply interprets it according to their own beliefs. Nice work, David. I wish you luck. 👍

I started looking into trans healthcare in 2019, here's my review so far: Still waiting

I'm a trans girl and you're really cute i want a cute bf like you someday wtf

Fuck I stumbled in this channel, started for whatever reason to listen to you. Then I saw you're chanel name. "The queer Viking Bro" what a F# nonsense

disgusting freak.

OMG MUCH BETTER 😮😮

Dude. Who cares. You are not more important than women whi are being raped. Learn your place.

Such long waiting lists and restrictions are horrible, the only things that should be in place are making sure the person understands what effects testosterone/estrogen will occur when they take it and if they can handle those effects mentally and physically. Unfortunate to hear that trans healthcare in Netherlands is so long and difficult

Hi David and thx for courageous sharing! You sound like you have sung on a death metal concert the day before yesterday. <evil grin and blink> Especially nipple surgery pushed my knowledge up. About the swelling I assume it takes time for physical recovery. If the buildups are not pus but only blood, fat or kinda "body water" under the skin your body might do the job, but consult a medic for that. Stay patient dude! Bodies don't grow overnight. Spare invasions if not necessary! For the breast forms I would consult a sports professional for proper exercises to form the chest muscles you like. "Überzüge" is German called one which impacts in stomach, chest, upper arms, shoulders and neck at the same time. Nasser El Sonbaty perfected those once into excess You work out, you might know some. LOL, I advice about sports but don't do simple things like push-ups regular. I'm silent. Ever heard the parole "mosh"? :) Wish you the best on further steps!

Thanks for answering my question! I absolutely support you in any decision you make about your life and career. (PS, what is your cat's name?) (PPS, do you have a link to your Patreon page?)

This video features a special guest, see if you can spot him 🥰

this is an awesome and really helpful video

Finally. Early congratulations, and may your future be bright. ⭐️

i have family ties to latvia and my dad is a latvian citizen so im elligble to be one but im dont want to become a citizen until im out as trans cause my parents would put the feminine version of my last name on it (ending with an a instead of an s) and i dont want to have to change it when im older.

Jeez, I'm Dutch and had no clue it was this hard to have your name changed and the price is insane. And why do we have to involve the king, it's such an unnecessary step that just prolongs the proces. I hope you'll be able to get the official go on your name change soon

Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you!!

900 WHOLE EUROS? here in sweden a normal surname change is only around 150 euro, and to change a gendered surname is free :0

I am American. I didn't know last names were gendered. I've learned something new. Americans often don't know where their Family's name came from... My Family is complex. I changed my name first & middle names. I am a transgender man. I haven't felt fully accepted by my Family or society. Also, changing my faith was upsetting to some family members. And, finding out that I have autism & PTSD has been challenging... 😅☮️❤

this is crazy. im a genderless fella and i do live in russia (our surnames are also gendered). i was planning on changing just 1 letter in my surname once i move out and one of the countries im currently looking forward to is netherlands. hearing that you have to pay THAT much for just 1 letter is baffling. heck, its too much for any name change... and i thought we had it hard with the costs (for context it used to cost around 15 euros for a name change over here, now they are changing it to 60. it also takes about a month for them to review the request here, so seeing how for dutch folks it extends up to 10 month... idk... its just a lot)

I totally get that being unable to move forward or do anything in life because you feel too uncomfortable, I have that issue at 24 but things are coming along slowly but surely. I'm at that point now where people in public are super confused about what exactly I am and it's kind of amusing, but also a hopeful sign that progress is finally being made.

you're so handsome aaa /platonic

dude im sorry but what even are u now? u neither look like a male or female.. why would someone do this to themselves? not hating just legit curious what goes inside ur head

Hi! I have no idea who you are but I clicked on this video because I absolutely love your style and stayed to hear about your story. You are a breathtaking human. Good luck with everything you do in life! :D

Were not the initial vikings from Germanic tribes?

Can i just say your hair would look amazing tied back in a regular Ponytail on you :) Should try that look out sometime in a video that would suit you. Have a great day

very on topic for me bc ive got my appointment for name and gender marker change under the new german self-id law in 10 days ! :) the old law sucked majorly (paying 2000€, having to get two psychological assesments done to proove that youre 'really trans' and not just a pervert haha :') ) i specifically waited (idk like.. almost a year? mby more) for the self-id law to be passed. now i can just get it done through making appointments, getting my birth certificate and paying 45€. yay german name laws are rediculous and rigid. idk how youd change your last name. they normally only allow you to change your first/last name for 'special reasons' ( eg. you share a last name with a big nazi persona, or you have a foreign name and you want to germafy it (kinda gross but lets not get into it)). so i guess youd have to apply. damn just writing about it irritates me

Are you planning on eventually becoming a university professor of Scandinavian Studies? Where are you going to work on your master's degree? What are your dreams for the future? Thanks for doing a Q&A!!

I didn't know that is was so hard to change your last name in the Netherlands, sounds like an oversight especially considering things like gendered last names

Impressive. Bureaucracy slows everything, but... well... it makes things more solid, so, it's better to be patient. But I didn't expected the King was in the chain... silly and glorious at the same time. 😅 Good luck with the process. 👍

I hope it goes by quickly! and you have a very cool sweater

what a process to deal with!

I did not hear about gendered last names before. I find that very interesting, but unfortunate for transgender people. Thanks for sharing your experience with this!

Man! Beauracatic processes are an absolute nightmare!😱

Hi! I just wanted to say that I feel your pain about the last name. I'm also a trans guy, I was born in Russia (unfortunately), and I live in Belgium. Russian last names are also gendered (aka "Natasha RostovA" is the sister of "Nikolai Rostov"), which basically outs me every time when I have to use the official surname. It's completely insane that your name change has to be approved by a king (what century do we live in, exactly?), but I'm glad it's almost done!
