One of my favorite content creators once said something that’s stuck with me ever since. ‘Pain is not a competition.’ Just because there are people who are non-binary and out that have heard “worse” things than you doesn’t make what people say to you any less hurtful. I’m so sorry that you have to put up with people being so disgusting and rude all the time. You’re such an awesome person and you do so much good for people through your channel. I know it’s hard and you don’t deserve any of it but stay strong 💜
Also on top of the people against being non-binary, you (and me) also deal with being on the asexual spectrum with people almost trying to "gaslight" you into thinking something's wrong with you which sucks. Even though the hate for being asexual is really hard to see and talk about, it's still definitely lurking almost everywhere you take a turn. | Even though I also deal with extreme hate for being non-binary, I definitely feel people's strong dislike for asexual people. I hope you are able to feel better and get back to a point where you are less stressed!
Very sorry to hear that this is going on. When this gets to you just remember that you have nearly 14000 people who love and respect you but I know it’s hard to think positive in times like these. Much love
I just want to say that I really appreciate your channel. It has helped me a lot in learning to be authentic. I also appreciate videos like this one, where you are being open and real. It helps me to not feel alone in my own struggles. I admire you for creating content and putting yourself out there. I want to eventually make videos too. However, I have not felt ready. Watching videos like yours is encouraging to me.
I am sorry that you have to deal with this as a creator and person. I am really glad you are here, you have helped/ guided me so much. I don’t know many non binary people irl and I know even fewer non binary people older than me that I can look to for advice. Thank you Lynn
I'm so sorry Lynn, I wish I could give you a hug to make you feel better! I really hope you feel better soon. If it makes you feel any better, my personal rule is the more people use profanities the less smart they are. Those types people should leave you alone and put their energy into other things.
Even if its a 'downer' of a video all i feel is pride. Dispide of everything you still do this and just be you. Me on the other hand, being chronicly ill and almost 40, just leave it as it is. But seeing others that are trying and doing their best does something to the soul. So thank you :D for just being you
Lynn, I hate to hear that you’re going through this. Your video about “signs you might be Non-Binary” was a wake up call for me that ultimately led to the realization that I’m genderfluid. I haven’t been out nearly as long as a lot of queer people on RUclips, and I’m not as high profile, but if I get hate comments I BLOCK THEM. Usually those comments don’t get to me anyway, but I don’t want people like that in my life in any way whatsoever. Stay strong, but take care and rest when needed. I look forward to whatever else you create.
I cant tell you how relateable this is. It really sucks to be judged, stereotyped, hated, bullied, and dehumanized. It's been scientifically proven and backed that Non binary people exist as well as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, trans, ect. I think it can be harder to be Non binary sometimes and completely agree with what you said. I often don't feel like what I do is enoguh to just not be seen as a binary gender. For the comment you showed a lot of the grammar was so bad it was funny so there's something to at least lighten the mood.
I paused to read the comment and....why is it that transphobes (and other phobes/misics) do not know how to write? Most of the time these people just type a wall of nearly illegible text using the wrong version of certain words. No wonder they hate pronouns they can't even us the right "your". LOL. Anyway, I wish there was something I could say to make it better but I can't and it sucks. Good luck and I wish you well. :)
Well so far I’ve scrolled down pretty far through comments and haven’t come across a single hostile one. So I’m happy that this video, anyway, did not attract comments from haters.
Hi, the thing with people sending you those kind of comments is what I got sometime too.:( Don't feel bad at venting out, it is okay to not be alright, we can discuss more from this issue from brave people like you, I'm looking back at myself that keep shutting my emotions down or just running away from bully all the time, I wish I can be more out on this like you do. You really inspired me.
You are not expected to be upbeat all the time you are only human so sorry you get so much hate ypu do not deserve that don't mind those haters they are just sad people you are a much stronger than those worthiness haters you are beautiful inside and out you are just as precious and valid love you and respect you for who you are you are awesome as you are those haters are just sad insecure people tha project on a loving loveable person
I’m so sorry for everything you are currently going through. It makes me uncharacteristically furious to see someone send such a disgustingly blind and unnecessary DM at 3:51 I can’t believe some people can do such things. It makes me sick. For whatever it matters, You have my support and sorrows. Oh, and happy non-binary awareness week.
Im Panflux and I use ve/ver pronouns. I been told "I'm going to use they/them pronouns because they're too hard" (like legit so many times). my toxic "dad" is homophobic and transphobic and always says "you're (cis) you just don't know it yet" (i came out as Panflux) and he says this alottt. No matter how many times he says he doesn't care yet he still is over here ignorant (not caring) and still misgenders me an my brother. Me and my brother have told our "dad" do many times to call us by our names, pronouns and gender and he's using excuses like "but at that time you were my (not saying the gender)"
Okay, I’m going to leave one more honest comment before leaving this page, and again, I have nothing but good will toward you and zero hate. Here goes: I think if there is any chance of people who consider themselves to non-binary/ panflux/ whatever - -If there’s any chance for them to gain HONEST, widespread acceptance- it will be absolutely necessary for THEM to quit accusing everyone who doesn’t buy into the concept of “non-binary” as being bigoted and hateful. The reality is: All this stuff flies in the face of literally all of human history, strikes most people as being divorced from nature and reality, and is just extremely challenging, particularly when it comes with a list of demands (use new pronouns like ve/ver, avoide gendered language, etc.) It is really hard for me to understand why you don’t have more compassion for people who are really struggling with this, given that you are putting some really big “asks” out there that you expect us to just comply with, no objections allowed. And with regard to your own dad, you just sound unduly cold to me. Why not be grateful to him for giving you life and raising you? And cut the man some slack? He does not sound disdainful and hateful, but (forgive me) you rather do. And I don’t say this because I “hate you”. I say it because I think it might help you to reconsider some of your assumptions about the people that you are quick to label “bigots and haters “. All that said, I wish you and your family well.
You are such a nice person and all the hatred you get is absolutely baseless. It's sad how some people can't except that the way human beings identify varies widely and there's nothing wrong with being queer (im ace and non-binary in a very conservative environment, so it's painfully relatable:')
The authenticity that you bring to every single video, whether its listing all the awesome things about being gender diverse or sharing the struggles as in this one, is inspiring. The stress of existing while queer is real and can lead to struggles in our own mental health, even though the source of that stress is completely external to ourselves. Community is important for resilience, and you've built an amazing community here. You are so amazing! Our family needs you, we're better off because you are here doing your thing. Conversely, I hope you are leaning on your community for support at this time, whether its here or irl. Sending love and vibes
I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through a rough time. Especially considering that so much suffering is from people who don’t have any business weighing in on other people’s identities. It is helpful to know, as someone who is just barely out as non-binary myself, that there is a lot of ignorance out there, as I will likely need to be aware of these things. Your content is very helpful, and I’ve learned a good deal from it. I hope you feel better soon.
Really sorry you’re going through this. Take your time, it’s ok if you’re not upbeat and happy all the time, just remember that there are over 13000 people that love and value you. Hugs from my side ❤️❤️❤️
I love your youtube chanel you're an amazing person and whenever you post I always watch it. Please stay true to yourself and know we love you and appretiate you.
❤Sending you love! And for you to remember how many people you save, comfort, and give love to. You literally make the world a safer place for the most vulnerable of our community. And somebody PLEASE create a fly swatter emoji.
I wanted to let you know that me and I’d assume all of your subscribers love you and the content you produce. For me your videos have been an enormous part of my queer journey and I really hope you can get through this negative headspace
hi lynn, my name is ghost and i completely understand what you are going through with your dysphoria this month. i am nonbinary as well and my pronouns are they/them and i have been going through a really hard time with my mental health and my dysphoria this month for whatever reason. i wholeheartedly symphathize and emphathize with your experience with hate comments because i have gotten screwed over in the past concerning my identity and other parts about me. on a happier note, happy nonbinary awareness week and thank you for saying this because i did not know that was this week! you are human and you deserve to be on this planet and be apart of the nonbinary community. sincerely, ghost :)
Dear Lynn, You and your channel have helped me a lot with my own non-binary journey. You're an amazing person and know that you reach people and have impact on their lives. Stay amazing!
I hope things get better soon Lynn, I know mental health stuff can go up and down (for me at least). Such a cute kitty! Love hearing them in the background :D Don't worry about having this video (or any others) not being "happy", this is important to talk about too. We love you! And that comment was disgusting, that person could not be more incorrect about the world and you.
I'm so sorry for all that you have to deal with Lynn. Some people really suck, but there are so many that support you too! And your cats will always be there for you, as they demonstrated 😊
I'm nonbinary myself, I'm closetted because my dad is biggoted against lgbt+ & my mom is a jehovah'a witness. My brothers are more accepting, 1 of them has a bisexual gf. Being closetted takes a tole on your mental health as well it's not fun. But I'm planning to come out this year, I dunno when but definitely waiting to move out before I do so just incase. I'm glad to see that there are other nonbinaries in the world, it does help to know we're not alone. When I move out? I'll start my transition then hopefully
I think your cat needs you, because you are human:) I hope that you can protect yourself against people with bad words… they don’t have the brainpower (or heart power) to think differently….the unknowm is fear at first but we can learn….I’m sure those people can’t live alone without other people and especially in conformity because it’s safer, like following the sheep, staying on a strait road. Anyway I just want to tell you, love yourself and sometimes we need to focus on ourself, care about ourself before being able to help or guide people :) I’m not saying to stop socialmedia but just remeber to live your life first of all!!! I had a bad evening with dysphoria, I know life sucks sometimes and being nonbinary is difficult and society is really sicks and bad… but animals will accept you without judging, that’s the gift of life to me 😊 taking time with with my cat is a few minutes of love and peace ✌️ Sorry for my poor English and hello from Switzerland
I'm really late to this video, just wanted to join others and say we love and appreciate you much more than I could express, and thank you for making videos about being non-binary!
First off, 💛💛💛 Lynn🙂! Hang in there. I want you to know that the forename you see above is my chosen name, and you are one of the people who has helped me come to my full(er) identity at 59 1/2 years old. Because I am older, I do know a couple of things. First thing is, while I appreciate you and your generation for showing me that the world has changed, and that you all -- who now rule it -- have made it safe(er/enough) for me and those like me to begin transitioning (I was born in 1963, OK? Gender was not a thing that I was trained to even consider questioning), the fact is you are still quite young. From my perspective, what some (objectively) stupid "kids" say on the bloody internet is not going to impact my mental health, though I admit it can be very tiring (in the sense of tedious). And no one claims it's fun. And of course I fear violence targeting me, and abhor the bigotry I get from my generational peers. But I'm 59 frickin' years old, and I really don't give a hoot about anybody's opinions anymore (excepting gender therapy professionals, who I expect to watch like a hawk for hidden/negative agendas). If the torrent is temporarily getting you down, that's OK; you know what to do about that -- let it go and do something that makes Lynn happy. Because your only job is to make you happy. Everything else flows from that. I appreciate you letting us know that you were having a bad (period of time), but that's no excuse to keep having one. I very sincerely appreciate you, and I most sincerely wish you all the best. Love, a newly-discovered transmasc non-binary person annoyed at being mistaken for a woman for 6 decades who is looking forward to being mistaken for a man for the next 3😉.
It sucks to deal with this. I'm solid in my identity most of the time, but when I receive phobic comments, it brings me down too. It makes those shunned phobic thoughts about my own identity to pop up. I hate it so much. Those thoughts are trying to get my question if I'm faking it but I know I'm not.
I'm not non-binary, I'm a trans woman but I understand your struggle. You are a stronger person than you know. Those haters are just that haters. I know how people's comments can trigger those awful feelings. I also know what it's like to be physically attacked. You seem like such a solid person, far and away better than me. I would never have the courage to do what you do. Okay, that's my honest opinion. This New Hampshire girl believes in you 💖
I really hope this comes across in a kind way because I don’t want to cause anyone pain; however it is important to me to be honest and to make my point about how I see things. I do not see the brand new category of non-binary as being in any way necessary, given that there has always been a spectrum within each sex (ex: there are very effeminate men, men who fall somewhere in the middle, and extremely masculine men. We have always had men who are quite androgynous. Then we have straight men, gay and bi men, and trans men. Within all of these different types of men there are qualities and feelings that have always been thought of as more feminine and those that are more masculine. Likewise there has always been a spectrum of women. Virtually everyone, literally every person, regardless of sex or whatever, has been a “mix” of masculine and feminine. This has long been accepted by even the most conservative people. So we really don’t need a whole new category complete with new pronouns and a whole new way of relating, in my opinion. And I speak for many when I say that I do NOT “hate” anyone who identifies as non-binary, but I am not able to affirm and celebrate that kind of self-labeling as healthy, either, without being dishonest. Therefore, because I don’t want to cause hurt feelings and don’t want to compromise my own integrity by using using “non-gendered language” or other things I don’t believe in, I am inclined to want to avoid the issue altogether by keeping my distance when I see an individual whose carefully curated look seems designed to obscure any sign of one gender. But I don’t do this out of hate. And the word “hate” gets thrown around a lot these days --often as a way to intimidate people into going along with a new social agenda that they sincerely believe is harmful. And the fact is that I believe that by going along with all the new non-binary stuff I would be ACTUALLY harming people by reinforcing something that can never be good for them -or for society as a whole. All that said, I wish all of you here well --regardless of how you identify.
@@Featherfinder I guess that I understand your opinion but I cannot accept it. It is tantamount to you telling someone who was not caucasian that they can neither refer to themselves as black or negro or African American simply because you think that is not in their best interest to do so. I've stated that I am a trans woman and I am not nonbinary and I can see, feel and appreciate how affirming it can be to be recognized as such to those who identify that way. Hate is hate and yes it is a strong word but I don't think that it is used without some consideration by those who deal with it. I don't know you but I cannot think that someone would reply to a 5 month old post who didn't carry the burden of self- appointment for designating who can be who or what they themselves know that they are. Much love to you Margaret, I hope that the world treats you well and you foster love, compassion and kindness.💙💓🤍💓💙
What I find really infuriating is that there tons of research and study that non-binary is real and we exist, people that claimed to be "worked in mental ward for many years" said to me that I need help, I was like. why? I was just explaining what it is like to be genderfluid, and that jerk first response was I needed help. I was having the best day and that jerk just ruined it. :(
Yesterday someone found me too look at my account just to see what they could use as fuel and they started to attack me in comments, they said I should 52 myself and their favorite pronouns were was/were and it was apt to take in as I have only come to realize I'm non-binary about a month ago.
Thank you for being an as publick person as you are, despite that it comes with lots of rubbish :( ! You are deffinetly being a light when all the invalidating comments on youtube in regard to enby identities has darkend my view, and I guess that Im far from alone in that. THANK YOU!
You can tell when someone doesn't know what they're talking about when they cuss and use crude language in their statement just to seem "more powerful"
I think I might be non Binary Asexual but I'm not sure. I had a rough childhood w/an alcoholic father who was there physically but not emotionally I extremely bullied in school because of developmental delay to the point I never learned proper socialization skills w/other people regardless of sex or gender I have no Pronouns & no interest in sex I'm to busy w/other things for that not to mention I'm Christian & don't believe in sex outside marriage.
Lmao, I love how people who hate on others and use vulgar language never use correct grammar. It’s also hilarious how they have nothing better to do with their lives, so they send paragraphs that make no sense and hurt others just to kill time. Pathetic.
You probably just going to delete my comment or even block me, if you haven't already have some automated system/mod to do it for you already. But I just recognise "non-binary", sorry. It's nothing against you, but I just believe everyone is either male or female at their core. "Non-binary" people and even you in the video already say they're confused about which one you are. Even if you mentally feel neither, you could just go with your physical gender of, I guess I'm X gender. If you are one of the rare people with both sexual organs, one is generally more functional than the other. You DON'T have to be a stereo-typical man or woman, you CAN be a feminine man or masculine woman. Try living as either gender, try to embrace one and see which one fits you best. If you find out your physical body doesn't match the one you fit best, transition at the price of no longer being able to pro-create. Or procreate before transitioning. I once heard an absolutely amazing story about a transwoman, Who before she transitioned, did everything she could as a man right up to walking her daughter down the isle as a father. So that way, she could truly go ahead without any regrets. Mad respect to that transwoman.
Hey Lynn, even if you don’t see this, I just want you to know that me and and of your followers are really sorry that you’re going through such a rough time, and we hope you can recover as soon as possible. It makes me sick when I see and hear about people who don’t understand that gender identity isn’t what’s in your DNA, but it lies within your mind, heart, and soul. Those three things are what makes you unique! Also, even though I’m cisgender, I want you to know that I think the non-binary identity and people who identify with it are really cool and amazing! I’ve learned a lot about what it means to be non-binary from you, and I’m so glad that I have! I love becoming more knowledgeable about other groups of people, and how I can best support them and spread awareness of their existence, scientific evidence that further proved that what they feel is real, and most importantly, their validity! Sorry for the long comment, but I just want you to know that you can get through this, and your followers believe in you!!! 💛🤍💜🖤
So sorry to hear you’re going through this. Nobody deserves to be told that their identity is invalid. Remeber we’ll always be here to support you no matter what and we understand if you ever need to take a break! 💛🤍💜🖤
I just wanted to add my personal balanced take on the whole trans-debate, throw my two cents into the water as it were, because I'm in an interesting position where I can see the truth in both sides of the debate, however typically the SJW's on the hard left & the most transphobic people you can possibly think of on the right both disagree with me, the only people who I've ever actually heard agree with me are actual trans-women, so I'm walking over thin ice & opening myself up for all types of criticism from both sides by saying this but I'm going to try to part the ocean or come so some kind of parity on the conversation. I'm not transgender myself, I'm just a fairly typical biological male in the traditional sense, I'm a pretty open minded guy, I've dated a lot of women outside my own ethnicity, so I like being with women who've had a different life experience to that of myself. I include transgender women into that as well, I find some transgender women attractive because there's something about them that's different to myself in the same way as I find Black women for the most part incredibly attractive because there's something about them that's different to myself, it's the very essence of mixing two people together who are different that makes those experiences attractive or exciting, & the fact they've lived a different life experience to myself is also something I find intellectually fascinating as well, so we should celebrate our differences. So on that level people may put me in the category of pro-trans, which I am in some ways, in the sense that I believe society should be respectful to those who are different in the same way it should be respectful to everyone & shouldn't ostracize anyone for being who they are. I'm also a man of science, I read a study once which analyzed the differences between men's & women's brains, & the study showed the nerves in their brains were wired up completely differently, but it adhered to the idea that it was entirely scientifically possible for a biological man with male reproductive organs to be born with a brain that's nerve systems could be wired more similarly to that of a woman, or vice versa in that a biological woman with a whom could be born with a brain that's wired up more similarly to that of a man's brain, which obviously would have an affect on how an individual would present themselves or behave on the surface, the theory argues that that's what gender dysmorphia is, which is kind of the foundation for what I believe transgenderism fundamentally is on a biological level. However what I will say is I'm not really a big fan of the politics surrounding it all on the left side of the political isle. First of all I'm not a fan at all of how they made it all more complicated than it needed to be with the whole they/them pro-nouns thing, I'm not one of these idiots who believes there are over 100 genders, there are 2 genders, men & women, & transgender is where you're born as a biological male or female but present as the opposite gender, so between the two but still exists within the biological parameters of the only two genders you can ever possibly be when you're born, that's it, it never needed to be anymore complicated than that. I think the whole non-binary thing that conforms to the idea that someone can identify as a star or a planet is complete nonsense, we just made all that stuff up during the pandemic when we were all locked away in our houses bored on our phones. Furthermore real trans-women & trans-men have to take hormones daily & oftentimes undergo huge surgeries in order to be who they are, whereas non-binary people are always usually lesbian or bisexual women who decided to get a septum piercing or get their head shaved because they "don't feel like conforming to gender norms", & they do it because they want to claim all of the societal victimhood that comes with labelling yourself as transgender to fall back on for all their personal shortcomings without undergoing any of the physical strains a real transgender person has to put themselves through on a daily basis, I actually think it's pimping out transgenderism & undermining the very essence of what transgenderism is. Additionally is someone can't handle being mis-gendered they shouldn't even step foot into the trans world. But it's these hard-left lunatics who are calling all the shots in government now, I saw another video where a none-binary transgender person (A.K.A. a man with blue hair) stood up in Congress in Kentucky shouting how disgusting & fascist it was that Kentucky had banned trans-surgeries & hormone blockers for children under the age of 16, & that trans-kids would die because of these legislations. & I took a step back & I thought "if I had a kid who said they were trans, I'd support them & still love them endlessly of course, but I'd still tell them to wait until they've gone through puberty & know a bit more about who they are before making any life-changing decisions while you're too young to be cognisant of the consequences of those decisions or may very well grow up to regret them", because ultimately buying your ten year old son a dress instead of a t-shirt or your ten year old daughter jeans instead of a frock is vastly different to giving them life-changing hormones before they're even old enough to understand anything about who they are yet. So in the end I came away from it rooting for the senate of Kentucky, they were the good guys protecting kids from child abuse, the bill the state shut down wasn't a good bill, & I learned that just because a bill is pro-trans or anti-trans it doesn't dictate whether or not it's either a good or a bad bill, every bill should be analyzed on it's own individual merits, & just because someone shouts in congress that something is virtuous & anyone who doesn't conscribe to that belief system is a fascist it doesn't inherently mean that it is virtuous or even necessarily good for society, the government weaponize people's virtue to garner public support for policies they want to push through all the time. Nor do I support trans-athletes being allowed to compete against biological women because it undermines female athletes who've worked hard only to be beaten by someone with a biological advantage, if you gave Brock-Lesnar a sex-change he'd destroy every single woman in the UFC. Ultimately for me it goes back to Thailand & their moderate view on transgenderism in general. They have a lot of transgender women over there, but if you ask them they'll tell you they're "a l*dyb*y*", & they'll all tell you they're guys who present as women, they have equal rights in society & are treated with respect just like everyone else, they're allowed to express their individual identity, but they aren't trying to tell anyone that they actually are women or are trying to replace women. Only in the West do you get people trying to claim they are a real woman or they are a real man, so I think we need to adopt a much more moderate approach to it like the Thai mentality towards it. Like if you're a grown-ass person who wants to walk around on all fours, bark & act like a dog in the comfort of their own home that's perfectly fine, I don't have a problem with that, as fully grown adults we have the freedom to do whatever we want to do that makes us happy as long as we don't hurt anyone else in the process, who am I to deny anyone that if that's what they want to do? However if that person comes up to me & tries to tell me that they actually are a dog, I'm not going to sit there & lie to them or allow them to continue believing that they actually are a dog, I'm going to tell them that they're a human being, & if that makes me a bigot in 2024 then sure, whatever, I'd rather be a bigot than a fantasist if it means I'm conscribing to the truth that I'm seeing right in front of me with my own eyes which is grounded in absolute fundamental facts. I bring all this up to say, that the only people who tend to genuinely agree with me on this stance, are actual trans-women themselves, every single one of them I've spoken to say that trans-people get way more abuse than they should get because of how this cross-section of morons on the hard-left choose to behave, & they actually do more harm to the trans community than they do good. Ultimately I think it's clear that the gender-identity debate is much too complicated to force upon children to tackle before they're even fully cognisant or aware of who they are yet. I fully support equality for adult trans people who's brains are fully developed enough to understand that that's who they are & nothing or nobody could ever change that, I believe that's a fundamental freedom for anyone to be able to live however they want to live or do whatever makes them happy in their lives. I just don't believe that's it's morally justifiable whatsoever to force this adult conundrum onto children before they're old enough to understand questions of personal identity like that, they're far too young to be able to grasp the reality or consequences of such complex moral quandaries, just let them be kids man, leave them out of this, let them figure themselves out in their own time on their own accord once they've lived a bit, don't bog their childhoods down with conversations they'll have their whole adult lives to pontificate over.
I read most of it, but getting told I don't exist put me off so I didnt finish. Nonbinary people are real, it isn't a trend. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it does not exist. Gender and sex are 2 different things. Gender is socially constructed around sex, while sex is biology. They/them ponouns are not complicated, and are used in everyday life when not knowing ones gender. This comment is honestly disappointing. You should comment elsewhere with people who agree or care about your opinions. Not this video, of a nonbinary person just trying to live their life.
@@frozenlillypad2070 I'll take it a step further, YES I'M SAYING BEING NON-BINARY IS NOT A REAL THING. You can be a feminine male, or a masculine female, & present as the opposite gender to what you were born with, that's absolutely fine. But saying you're neither male or female is an illusion that exists in your brain, your sex doesn't change based on how you feel, sure the way you want to present yourself can change depending on how you feel, but you can't change basic biology based on how you feel, literally zero people in the history of human existence have been neither male or female, people can present as the opposite, that's fine & I support people's rights to do that, I don't think it's wrong for people to do that if they want to at all, but that doesn't mean a male who presents as female is literally a woman, he's still biologically male, likewise a female who presents as male isn't literally a man, she's still a woman. Those are just the cold hard facts I'm sorry, the whole non-binary thing is a mental condition that exists inside your brain, IT IS NOT REALITY, so just grow up & get on with it quite frankly. Life is far to difficult as it already is to be worrying about gender identity like that, so I'm sorry but people like you are part of the problem & you need to get out of the way quite frankly.
@@frozenlillypad2070 can't you deal with someone who disagrees with you? & What are you talking about "go to somewhere else on the internet where your opinion is more appreciated", nobody is gatekeeping this video, comments sections are public, anyone can post in them, so I can comment what I want where I want, we have democracy at the end of the day.
@johnreaney781 because no one liked or responded to your comment apart from one person who disagrees with you, it the wrong side of the internet to find people to understand and listen to you
@johnreaney781 I can deal with people who disagree with me, I can no longer deal with, on the other hand, the constant mutter of people saying I do not exist because they dont understand. Ever has someone say you're not valid because you dont exist. Constantly by so many.
One of my favorite content creators once said something that’s stuck with me ever since. ‘Pain is not a competition.’
Just because there are people who are non-binary and out that have heard “worse” things than you doesn’t make what people say to you any less hurtful. I’m so sorry that you have to put up with people being so disgusting and rude all the time.
You’re such an awesome person and you do so much good for people through your channel. I know it’s hard and you don’t deserve any of it but stay strong 💜
Don't ever apologise for your cat, it's adorable
We'd like to meet your cat
Also on top of the people against being non-binary, you (and me) also deal with being on the asexual spectrum with people almost trying to "gaslight" you into thinking something's wrong with you which sucks. Even though the hate for being asexual is really hard to see and talk about, it's still definitely lurking almost everywhere you take a turn. | Even though I also deal with extreme hate for being non-binary, I definitely feel people's strong dislike for asexual people.
I hope you are able to feel better and get back to a point where you are less stressed!
Very sorry to hear that this is going on. When this gets to you just remember that you have nearly 14000 people who love and respect you but I know it’s hard to think positive in times like these. Much love
I just want to say that I really appreciate your channel. It has helped me a lot in learning to be authentic. I also appreciate videos like this one, where you are being open and real. It helps me to not feel alone in my own struggles. I admire you for creating content and putting yourself out there. I want to eventually make videos too. However, I have not felt ready. Watching videos like yours is encouraging to me.
I am sorry that you have to deal with this as a creator and person. I am really glad you are here, you have helped/ guided me so much. I don’t know many non binary people irl and I know even fewer non binary people older than me that I can look to for advice. Thank you Lynn
I wish I could give you a warm, reassuring hug right now.
I'm so sorry Lynn, I wish I could give you a hug to make you feel better! I really hope you feel better soon. If it makes you feel any better, my personal rule is the more people use profanities the less smart they are. Those types people should leave you alone and put their energy into other things.
It does, this is hell on earth, it’s like why do I have to go through hell to be myself rather than simply being myself
Even if its a 'downer' of a video all i feel is pride. Dispide of everything you still do this and just be you. Me on the other hand, being chronicly ill and almost 40, just leave it as it is. But seeing others that are trying and doing their best does something to the soul. So thank you :D for just being you
Lynn, I hate to hear that you’re going through this. Your video about “signs you might be Non-Binary” was a wake up call for me that ultimately led to the realization that I’m genderfluid. I haven’t been out nearly as long as a lot of queer people on RUclips, and I’m not as high profile, but if I get hate comments I BLOCK THEM. Usually those comments don’t get to me anyway, but I don’t want people like that in my life in any way whatsoever. Stay strong, but take care and rest when needed. I look forward to whatever else you create.
There is something wrong with your chanel
It doesn't have enough subscribers
I got so scared when I just read the first part LOL but thank you so much
@@lynnsaga1397 Sorry if it was a bad joke
I cant tell you how relateable this is. It really sucks to be judged, stereotyped, hated, bullied, and dehumanized. It's been scientifically proven and backed that Non binary people exist as well as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, trans, ect. I think it can be harder to be Non binary sometimes and completely agree with what you said. I often don't feel like what I do is enoguh to just not be seen as a binary gender. For the comment you showed a lot of the grammar was so bad it was funny so there's something to at least lighten the mood.
You exist unfortunately. But you are just wrong about what you think you are. Pretentious bisexuals. Don't thank me.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this no one deserves that but your so brave never forget that
I paused to read the comment and....why is it that transphobes (and other phobes/misics) do not know how to write? Most of the time these people just type a wall of nearly illegible text using the wrong version of certain words. No wonder they hate pronouns they can't even us the right "your". LOL. Anyway, I wish there was something I could say to make it better but I can't and it sucks. Good luck and I wish you well. :)
Haters hate. But you are valid. it takes alot to put yourself out there but what you do helps alot of people. healing thoughts
Well so far I’ve scrolled down pretty far through comments and haven’t come across a single hostile one. So I’m happy that this video, anyway, did not attract comments from haters.
We are here for you
Hi, the thing with people sending you those kind of comments is what I got sometime too.:(
Don't feel bad at venting out, it is okay to not be alright, we can discuss more from this issue from brave people like you, I'm looking back at myself that keep shutting my emotions down or just running away from bully all the time, I wish I can be more out on this like you do. You really inspired me.
You are not expected to be upbeat all the time you are only human so sorry you get so much hate ypu do not deserve that don't mind those haters they are just sad people you are a much stronger than those worthiness haters you are beautiful inside and out you are just as precious and valid love you and respect you for who you are you are awesome as you are those haters are just sad insecure people tha project on a loving loveable person
I have headphones on and my window is open, so I thought your cat's meow was coming from outside lol
I’m so sorry for everything you are currently going through. It makes me uncharacteristically furious to see someone send such a disgustingly blind and unnecessary DM at 3:51 I can’t believe some people can do such things. It makes me sick. For whatever it matters, You have my support and sorrows.
Oh, and happy non-binary awareness week.
The fact that they didn’t use any punctuation was the scum on top of the mud pie
@@anvithequarsonist definitely one way to make themselves seem EVEN more stupid when writing the hate DM
Hey Lynn! I just wanna say your content helped me to realize I was non-binary so thank you! And I’m sorry to hear what’s going on :(
Im Panflux and I use ve/ver pronouns. I been told "I'm going to use they/them pronouns because they're too hard" (like legit so many times). my toxic "dad" is homophobic and transphobic and always says "you're (cis) you just don't know it yet" (i came out as Panflux) and he says this alottt. No matter how many times he says he doesn't care yet he still is over here ignorant (not caring) and still misgenders me an my brother. Me and my brother have told our "dad" do many times to call us by our names, pronouns and gender and he's using excuses like "but at that time you were my (not saying the gender)"
Okay, I’m going to leave one more honest comment before leaving this page, and again, I have nothing but good will toward you and zero hate. Here goes: I think if there is any chance of people who consider themselves to non-binary/ panflux/ whatever - -If there’s any chance for them to gain HONEST, widespread acceptance- it will be absolutely necessary for THEM to quit accusing everyone who doesn’t buy into the concept of “non-binary” as being bigoted and hateful. The reality is: All this stuff flies in the face of literally all of human history, strikes most people as being divorced from nature and reality, and is just extremely challenging, particularly when it comes with a list of demands (use new pronouns like ve/ver, avoide gendered language, etc.) It is really hard for me to understand why you don’t have more compassion for people who are really struggling with this, given that you are putting some really big “asks” out there that you expect us to just comply with, no objections allowed. And with regard to your own dad, you just sound unduly cold to me. Why not be grateful to him for giving you life and raising you? And cut the man some slack? He does not sound disdainful and hateful, but (forgive me) you rather do. And I don’t say this because I “hate you”. I say it because I think it might help you to reconsider some of your assumptions about the people that you are quick to label “bigots and haters “. All that said, I wish you and your family well.
You are such a nice person and all the hatred you get is absolutely baseless. It's sad how some people can't except that the way human beings identify varies widely and there's nothing wrong with being queer (im ace and non-binary in a very conservative environment, so it's painfully relatable:')
The authenticity that you bring to every single video, whether its listing all the awesome things about being gender diverse or sharing the struggles as in this one, is inspiring. The stress of existing while queer is real and can lead to struggles in our own mental health, even though the source of that stress is completely external to ourselves. Community is important for resilience, and you've built an amazing community here. You are so amazing! Our family needs you, we're better off because you are here doing your thing. Conversely, I hope you are leaning on your community for support at this time, whether its here or irl. Sending love and vibes
I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through a rough time. Especially considering that so much suffering is from people who don’t have any business weighing in on other people’s identities. It is helpful to know, as someone who is just barely out as non-binary myself, that there is a lot of ignorance out there, as I will likely need to be aware of these things. Your content is very helpful, and I’ve learned a good deal from it. I hope you feel better soon.
Really sorry you’re going through this. Take your time, it’s ok if you’re not upbeat and happy all the time, just remember that there are over 13000 people that love and value you. Hugs from my side ❤️❤️❤️
I love your youtube chanel you're an amazing person and whenever you post I always watch it. Please stay true to yourself and know we love you and appretiate you.
❤Sending you love! And for you to remember how many people you save, comfort, and give love to. You literally make the world a safer place for the most vulnerable of our community. And somebody PLEASE create a fly swatter emoji.
I wanted to let you know that me and I’d assume all of your subscribers love you and the content you produce. For me your videos have been an enormous part of my queer journey and I really hope you can get through this negative headspace
Thanks! For making me feel not so alone 😢
hi lynn, my name is ghost and i completely understand what you are going through with your dysphoria this month. i am nonbinary as well and my pronouns are they/them and i have been going through a really hard time with my mental health and my dysphoria this month for whatever reason. i wholeheartedly symphathize and emphathize with your experience with hate comments because i have gotten screwed over in the past concerning my identity and other parts about me. on a happier note, happy nonbinary awareness week and thank you for saying this because i did not know that was this week! you are human and you deserve to be on this planet and be apart of the nonbinary community. sincerely, ghost :)
Dear Lynn,
You and your channel have helped me a lot with my own non-binary journey.
You're an amazing person and know that you reach people and have impact on their lives.
Stay amazing!
I hope things get better soon Lynn, I know mental health stuff can go up and down (for me at least). Such a cute kitty! Love hearing them in the background :D
Don't worry about having this video (or any others) not being "happy", this is important to talk about too. We love you! And that comment was disgusting, that person could not be more incorrect about the world and you.
I'm so sorry for all that you have to deal with Lynn. Some people really suck, but there are so many that support you too! And your cats will always be there for you, as they demonstrated 😊
I'm nonbinary myself, I'm closetted because my dad is biggoted against lgbt+ & my mom is a jehovah'a witness. My brothers are more accepting, 1 of them has a bisexual gf. Being closetted takes a tole on your mental health as well it's not fun. But I'm planning to come out this year, I dunno when but definitely waiting to move out before I do so just incase. I'm glad to see that there are other nonbinaries in the world, it does help to know we're not alone. When I move out? I'll start my transition then hopefully
sending you lots of love that must be tough to be constantly invalidated instead of respected for who you are.
I think your cat needs you, because you are human:) I hope that you can protect yourself against people with bad words… they don’t have the brainpower (or heart power) to think differently….the unknowm is fear at first but we can learn….I’m sure those people can’t live alone without other people and especially in conformity because it’s safer, like following the sheep, staying on a strait road. Anyway I just want to tell you, love yourself and sometimes we need to focus on ourself, care about ourself before being able to help or guide people :) I’m not saying to stop socialmedia but just remeber to live your life first of all!!!
I had a bad evening with dysphoria, I know life sucks sometimes and being nonbinary is difficult and society is really sicks and bad… but animals will accept you without judging, that’s the gift of life to me 😊 taking time with with my cat is a few minutes of love and peace ✌️
Sorry for my poor English and hello from Switzerland
I'm really late to this video, just wanted to join others and say we love and appreciate you much more than I could express, and thank you for making videos about being non-binary!
First off, 💛💛💛 Lynn🙂! Hang in there. I want you to know that the forename you see above is my chosen name, and you are one of the people who has helped me come to my full(er) identity at 59 1/2 years old. Because I am older, I do know a couple of things. First thing is, while I appreciate you and your generation for showing me that the world has changed, and that you all -- who now rule it -- have made it safe(er/enough) for me and those like me to begin transitioning (I was born in 1963, OK? Gender was not a thing that I was trained to even consider questioning), the fact is you are still quite young. From my perspective, what some (objectively) stupid "kids" say on the bloody internet is not going to impact my mental health, though I admit it can be very tiring (in the sense of tedious). And no one claims it's fun. And of course I fear violence targeting me, and abhor the bigotry I get from my generational peers. But I'm 59 frickin' years old, and I really don't give a hoot about anybody's opinions anymore (excepting gender therapy professionals, who I expect to watch like a hawk for hidden/negative agendas). If the torrent is temporarily getting you down, that's OK; you know what to do about that -- let it go and do something that makes Lynn happy. Because your only job is to make you happy. Everything else flows from that. I appreciate you letting us know that you were having a bad (period of time), but that's no excuse to keep having one. I very sincerely appreciate you, and I most sincerely wish you all the best. Love, a newly-discovered transmasc non-binary person annoyed at being mistaken for a woman for 6 decades who is looking forward to being mistaken for a man for the next 3😉.
It sucks to deal with this. I'm solid in my identity most of the time, but when I receive phobic comments, it brings me down too. It makes those shunned phobic thoughts about my own identity to pop up. I hate it so much. Those thoughts are trying to get my question if I'm faking it but I know I'm not.
I'm not non-binary, I'm a trans woman but I understand your struggle. You are a stronger person than you know. Those haters are just that haters. I know how people's comments can trigger those awful feelings. I also know what it's like to be physically attacked. You seem like such a solid person, far and away better than me. I would never have the courage to do what you do. Okay, that's my honest opinion. This New Hampshire girl believes in you 💖
I really hope this comes across in a kind way because I don’t want to cause anyone pain; however it is important to me to be honest and to make my point about how I see things. I do not see the brand new category of non-binary as being in any way necessary, given that there has always been a spectrum within each sex (ex: there are very effeminate men, men who fall somewhere in the middle, and extremely masculine men. We have always had men who are quite androgynous. Then we have straight men, gay and bi men, and trans men. Within all of these different types of men there are qualities and feelings that have always been thought of as more feminine and those that are more masculine. Likewise there has always been a spectrum of women. Virtually everyone, literally every person, regardless of sex or whatever, has been a “mix” of masculine and feminine. This has long been accepted by even the most conservative people. So we really don’t need a whole new category complete with new pronouns and a whole new way of relating, in my opinion. And I speak for many when I say that I do NOT “hate” anyone who identifies as non-binary, but I am not able to affirm and celebrate that kind of self-labeling as healthy, either, without being dishonest. Therefore, because I don’t want to cause hurt feelings and don’t want to compromise my own integrity by using using “non-gendered language” or other things I don’t believe in, I am inclined to want to avoid the issue altogether by keeping my distance when I see an individual whose carefully curated look seems designed to obscure any sign of one gender. But I don’t do this out of hate. And the word “hate” gets thrown around a lot these days --often as a way to intimidate people into going along with a new social agenda that they sincerely believe is harmful. And the fact is that I believe that by going along with all the new non-binary stuff I would be ACTUALLY harming people by reinforcing something that can never be good for them -or for society as a whole. All that said, I wish all of you here well --regardless of how you identify.
@@Featherfinder I guess that I understand your opinion but I cannot accept it. It is tantamount to you telling someone who was not caucasian that they can neither refer to themselves as black or negro or African American simply because you think that is not in their best interest to do so.
I've stated that I am a trans woman and I am not nonbinary and I can see, feel and appreciate how affirming it can be to be recognized as such to those who identify that way.
Hate is hate and yes it is a strong word but I don't think that it is used without some consideration by those who deal with it.
I don't know you but I cannot think that someone would reply to a 5 month old post who didn't carry the burden of self- appointment for designating who can be who or what they themselves know that they are.
Much love to you Margaret, I hope that the world treats you well and you foster love, compassion and kindness.💙💓🤍💓💙
What I find really infuriating is that there tons of research and study that non-binary is real and we exist, people that claimed to be "worked in mental ward for many years" said to me that I need help, I was like. why? I was just explaining what it is like to be genderfluid, and that jerk first response was I needed help. I was having the best day and that jerk just ruined it. :(
I don't have the advice to tell you how to deal with randos saying horrible things to you, but all I can say is that their words are 3000% incorrect.
How about grow up and be an adult.
I heared the meow, thought it was real life 😂 Im like my child why did you meow...
Yesterday someone found me too look at my account just to see what they could use as fuel and they started to attack me in comments, they said I should 52 myself and their favorite pronouns were was/were and it was apt to take in as I have only come to realize I'm non-binary about a month ago.
They are the one who needs help. Jesus, I almost had a stroke trying to read that dm. Hang in there!
Hang in there! We all rooting for you!
Thank you for being an as publick person as you are, despite that it comes with lots of rubbish :( ! You are deffinetly being a light when all the invalidating comments on youtube in regard to enby identities has darkend my view, and I guess that Im far from alone in that.
THANK YOU!
xoxo. You are a lifeline for more people than you know.
You can tell when someone doesn't know what they're talking about when they cuss and use crude language in their statement just to seem "more powerful"
I think I might be non Binary Asexual but I'm not sure. I had a rough childhood w/an alcoholic father who was there physically but not emotionally I extremely bullied in school because of developmental delay to the point I never learned proper socialization skills w/other people regardless of sex or gender I have no Pronouns & no interest in sex I'm to busy w/other things for that not to mention I'm Christian & don't believe in sex outside marriage.
Lmao, I love how people who hate on others and use vulgar language never use correct grammar. It’s also hilarious how they have nothing better to do with their lives, so they send paragraphs that make no sense and hurt others just to kill time. Pathetic.
"and use vulgar language never use correct grammar." Wow. 🤦♂️😂
@@mikepriestey2547I don't think a comma is necessary to understand the sentence.
I see you. Very relatable unfortunately lol
💛🤍💜🖤
You probably just going to delete my comment or even block me, if you haven't already have some automated system/mod to do it for you already.
But I just recognise "non-binary", sorry. It's nothing against you, but I just believe everyone is either male or female at their core.
"Non-binary" people and even you in the video already say they're confused about which one you are.
Even if you mentally feel neither, you could just go with your physical gender of, I guess I'm X gender.
If you are one of the rare people with both sexual organs, one is generally more functional than the other.
You DON'T have to be a stereo-typical man or woman, you CAN be a feminine man or masculine woman.
Try living as either gender, try to embrace one and see which one fits you best.
If you find out your physical body doesn't match the one you fit best, transition at the price of no longer being able to pro-create.
Or procreate before transitioning.
I once heard an absolutely amazing story about a transwoman,
Who before she transitioned, did everything she could as a man right up to walking her daughter down the isle as a father.
So that way, she could truly go ahead without any regrets.
Mad respect to that transwoman.
Ive tried both genders they both make me uncomfortable. I don't think it's that simple. I am sorry.
Hey Lynn, even if you don’t see this, I just want you to know that me and and of your followers are really sorry that you’re going through such a rough time, and we hope you can recover as soon as possible. It makes me sick when I see and hear about people who don’t understand that gender identity isn’t what’s in your DNA, but it lies within your mind, heart, and soul. Those three things are what makes you unique! Also, even though I’m cisgender, I want you to know that I think the non-binary identity and people who identify with it are really cool and amazing! I’ve learned a lot about what it means to be non-binary from you, and I’m so glad that I have! I love becoming more knowledgeable about other groups of people, and how I can best support them and spread awareness of their existence, scientific evidence that further proved that what they feel is real, and most importantly, their validity! Sorry for the long comment, but I just want you to know that you can get through this, and your followers believe in you!!! 💛🤍💜🖤
So sorry to hear you’re going through this. Nobody deserves to be told that their identity is invalid. Remeber we’ll always be here to support you no matter what and we understand if you ever need to take a break! 💛🤍💜🖤
I don’t know if you will read this but you are literally the best I am nonbinary and it sucks how dumb people can be I just wish you the best.❤️🩹
I just wanted to add my personal balanced take on the whole trans-debate, throw my two cents into the water as it were, because I'm in an interesting position where I can see the truth in both sides of the debate, however typically the SJW's on the hard left & the most transphobic people you can possibly think of on the right both disagree with me, the only people who I've ever actually heard agree with me are actual trans-women, so I'm walking over thin ice & opening myself up for all types of criticism from both sides by saying this but I'm going to try to part the ocean or come so some kind of parity on the conversation.
I'm not transgender myself, I'm just a fairly typical biological male in the traditional sense, I'm a pretty open minded guy, I've dated a lot of women outside my own ethnicity, so I like being with women who've had a different life experience to that of myself. I include transgender women into that as well, I find some transgender women attractive because there's something about them that's different to myself in the same way as I find Black women for the most part incredibly attractive because there's something about them that's different to myself, it's the very essence of mixing two people together who are different that makes those experiences attractive or exciting, & the fact they've lived a different life experience to myself is also something I find intellectually fascinating as well, so we should celebrate our differences.
So on that level people may put me in the category of pro-trans, which I am in some ways, in the sense that I believe society should be respectful to those who are different in the same way it should be respectful to everyone & shouldn't ostracize anyone for being who they are. I'm also a man of science, I read a study once which analyzed the differences between men's & women's brains, & the study showed the nerves in their brains were wired up completely differently, but it adhered to the idea that it was entirely scientifically possible for a biological man with male reproductive organs to be born with a brain that's nerve systems could be wired more similarly to that of a woman, or vice versa in that a biological woman with a whom could be born with a brain that's wired up more similarly to that of a man's brain, which obviously would have an affect on how an individual would present themselves or behave on the surface, the theory argues that that's what gender dysmorphia is, which is kind of the foundation for what I believe transgenderism fundamentally is on a biological level.
However what I will say is I'm not really a big fan of the politics surrounding it all on the left side of the political isle. First of all I'm not a fan at all of how they made it all more complicated than it needed to be with the whole they/them pro-nouns thing, I'm not one of these idiots who believes there are over 100 genders, there are 2 genders, men & women, & transgender is where you're born as a biological male or female but present as the opposite gender, so between the two but still exists within the biological parameters of the only two genders you can ever possibly be when you're born, that's it, it never needed to be anymore complicated than that. I think the whole non-binary thing that conforms to the idea that someone can identify as a star or a planet is complete nonsense, we just made all that stuff up during the pandemic when we were all locked away in our houses bored on our phones. Furthermore real trans-women & trans-men have to take hormones daily & oftentimes undergo huge surgeries in order to be who they are, whereas non-binary people are always usually lesbian or bisexual women who decided to get a septum piercing or get their head shaved because they "don't feel like conforming to gender norms", & they do it because they want to claim all of the societal victimhood that comes with labelling yourself as transgender to fall back on for all their personal shortcomings without undergoing any of the physical strains a real transgender person has to put themselves through on a daily basis, I actually think it's pimping out transgenderism & undermining the very essence of what transgenderism is. Additionally is someone can't handle being mis-gendered they shouldn't even step foot into the trans world.
But it's these hard-left lunatics who are calling all the shots in government now, I saw another video where a none-binary transgender person (A.K.A. a man with blue hair) stood up in Congress in Kentucky shouting how disgusting & fascist it was that Kentucky had banned trans-surgeries & hormone blockers for children under the age of 16, & that trans-kids would die because of these legislations. & I took a step back & I thought "if I had a kid who said they were trans, I'd support them & still love them endlessly of course, but I'd still tell them to wait until they've gone through puberty & know a bit more about who they are before making any life-changing decisions while you're too young to be cognisant of the consequences of those decisions or may very well grow up to regret them", because ultimately buying your ten year old son a dress instead of a t-shirt or your ten year old daughter jeans instead of a frock is vastly different to giving them life-changing hormones before they're even old enough to understand anything about who they are yet. So in the end I came away from it rooting for the senate of Kentucky, they were the good guys protecting kids from child abuse, the bill the state shut down wasn't a good bill, & I learned that just because a bill is pro-trans or anti-trans it doesn't dictate whether or not it's either a good or a bad bill, every bill should be analyzed on it's own individual merits, & just because someone shouts in congress that something is virtuous & anyone who doesn't conscribe to that belief system is a fascist it doesn't inherently mean that it is virtuous or even necessarily good for society, the government weaponize people's virtue to garner public support for policies they want to push through all the time. Nor do I support trans-athletes being allowed to compete against biological women because it undermines female athletes who've worked hard only to be beaten by someone with a biological advantage, if you gave Brock-Lesnar a sex-change he'd destroy every single woman in the UFC.
Ultimately for me it goes back to Thailand & their moderate view on transgenderism in general. They have a lot of transgender women over there, but if you ask them they'll tell you they're "a l*dyb*y*", & they'll all tell you they're guys who present as women, they have equal rights in society & are treated with respect just like everyone else, they're allowed to express their individual identity, but they aren't trying to tell anyone that they actually are women or are trying to replace women. Only in the West do you get people trying to claim they are a real woman or they are a real man, so I think we need to adopt a much more moderate approach to it like the Thai mentality towards it. Like if you're a grown-ass person who wants to walk around on all fours, bark & act like a dog in the comfort of their own home that's perfectly fine, I don't have a problem with that, as fully grown adults we have the freedom to do whatever we want to do that makes us happy as long as we don't hurt anyone else in the process, who am I to deny anyone that if that's what they want to do? However if that person comes up to me & tries to tell me that they actually are a dog, I'm not going to sit there & lie to them or allow them to continue believing that they actually are a dog, I'm going to tell them that they're a human being, & if that makes me a bigot in 2024 then sure, whatever, I'd rather be a bigot than a fantasist if it means I'm conscribing to the truth that I'm seeing right in front of me with my own eyes which is grounded in absolute fundamental facts.
I bring all this up to say, that the only people who tend to genuinely agree with me on this stance, are actual trans-women themselves, every single one of them I've spoken to say that trans-people get way more abuse than they should get because of how this cross-section of morons on the hard-left choose to behave, & they actually do more harm to the trans community than they do good.
Ultimately I think it's clear that the gender-identity debate is much too complicated to force upon children to tackle before they're even fully cognisant or aware of who they are yet. I fully support equality for adult trans people who's brains are fully developed enough to understand that that's who they are & nothing or nobody could ever change that, I believe that's a fundamental freedom for anyone to be able to live however they want to live or do whatever makes them happy in their lives. I just don't believe that's it's morally justifiable whatsoever to force this adult conundrum onto children before they're old enough to understand questions of personal identity like that, they're far too young to be able to grasp the reality or consequences of such complex moral quandaries, just let them be kids man, leave them out of this, let them figure themselves out in their own time on their own accord once they've lived a bit, don't bog their childhoods down with conversations they'll have their whole adult lives to pontificate over.
I read most of it, but getting told I don't exist put me off so I didnt finish. Nonbinary people are real, it isn't a trend. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it does not exist. Gender and sex are 2 different things. Gender is socially constructed around sex, while sex is biology.
They/them ponouns are not complicated, and are used in everyday life when not knowing ones gender.
This comment is honestly disappointing. You should comment elsewhere with people who agree or care about your opinions. Not this video, of a nonbinary person just trying to live their life.
@@frozenlillypad2070 I'll take it a step further, YES I'M SAYING BEING NON-BINARY IS NOT A REAL THING. You can be a feminine male, or a masculine female, & present as the opposite gender to what you were born with, that's absolutely fine. But saying you're neither male or female is an illusion that exists in your brain, your sex doesn't change based on how you feel, sure the way you want to present yourself can change depending on how you feel, but you can't change basic biology based on how you feel, literally zero people in the history of human existence have been neither male or female, people can present as the opposite, that's fine & I support people's rights to do that, I don't think it's wrong for people to do that if they want to at all, but that doesn't mean a male who presents as female is literally a woman, he's still biologically male, likewise a female who presents as male isn't literally a man, she's still a woman. Those are just the cold hard facts I'm sorry, the whole non-binary thing is a mental condition that exists inside your brain, IT IS NOT REALITY, so just grow up & get on with it quite frankly. Life is far to difficult as it already is to be worrying about gender identity like that, so I'm sorry but people like you are part of the problem & you need to get out of the way quite frankly.
@@frozenlillypad2070 can't you deal with someone who disagrees with you?
& What are you talking about "go to somewhere else on the internet where your opinion is more appreciated", nobody is gatekeeping this video, comments sections are public, anyone can post in them, so I can comment what I want where I want, we have democracy at the end of the day.
@johnreaney781 because no one liked or responded to your comment apart from one person who disagrees with you, it the wrong side of the internet to find people to understand and listen to you
@johnreaney781 I can deal with people who disagree with me, I can no longer deal with, on the other hand, the constant mutter of people saying I do not exist because they dont understand. Ever has someone say you're not valid because you dont exist. Constantly by so many.
