I'm a trans person who is isolated from community in no small part due to mental illness, but watching vids like this always makes me feel a part of that beautiful tapestry, even for a moment. Thank you.
Yes!! The people at the top making laws cannot see our struggles so we must help eachother here on the ground! We can’t win any ideological fights without talking with our physical immediate community and learning and growing together
Idk if it saved queer lives butbit definitely saved autistic lives cause Abed Nadir is enough good autistic representation to keep a person going for YEARS
really great video! i feel i don’t really have access to in-person community right now even though i have a big desire for it, and this video gave me hope about that as well as inspiring me. Connection is required to change the world and i think that’s profoundly beautiful
14:56 I mean,, I can’t not watch, am tryna mess with makup while this plays in the background lol Tryna learn it at your twenties is a headache though.
Your video is right on the money and being released at a very funny time for me. I realized I was trans just over a year ago and spent most of that time closeted, even after I came out I would still isolate. A (questioning/closeted) friend of mine noticed I was miserable and with the help of a LOT of whiskey got me to open up. We've also been trading our old clothes (I'm a trans man and their trans femme nonbinary) I've been trying to get them more comfortable with dressing femme and they've been trying to get me more comfortable with emotional and physical intimacy. Its been a week since then and I already feel ALOT better than before!
I’m so happy to hear that you have such a reciprocal relationship with a community member. That sounds lovely!! Thanks for watching and actually engaing with the video 🗣️🤎✨
It is!! I also wanted this video to be a jumping off point for thought around communal engagement. Please ask any follow up questions and I’ll be happy to make another vid going more in depth!!
We kinda do and kinda don't have community. Both broadly and locally. We have our crowd, pride parades, little events, an lgbt center, but things don't really feel like a community even locally given these local examples. I'm in a city of 500 thousand, and yeah, we have a few little groups, but nothing feels very cohesive. It's all atomized little groups.
The way that this was explained to me is that in the field of psychology-which I’m currently studying lol-there are in-groups and out-groups in every community on a small and large scale. In order for groups to join together, there needs to be a cause that unites them all, and there needs to be groups of people willing to be persuaded to unify. Those organized centers are important, but I’m talking about building groups of hyper local community that can unify with those more organized groups to create actions that can overwhelm oppressive actors not expecting such massive responses. TLDR: Yes, but that’s kinda how it is until something makes everyone get together and I think that’s happening now 👀 Thanks for watching and actually engaging with the content of the video❕🗣️✨🤎
Seriously spectacular video. The books you talked about have been on my list (especially since I want to support Black authors and narratives) so this was definitely needed. Also hope that move was dope!
I haven't watched the video yet, but I really do love the grey teddy bear in the bg. Immediately subbed because of it tbh, I just really love teddy bears.
Thank you for talking about how important community is and how it impacts queer people!! The books you talked about sound really interesting as well, great video :)
I love your video, but I have a question: How do we build community support? Do i start knocking on my neighbor's doors asking to join the group? Where do I start reading about this subject?
Yes! When I say in the video to use your resources, that is also a call to consider what resources could be (YES, your neighbors). As a Black Feminist scholar, I highly recommend reading Black Feminist Literature as a way to learn more about community-building. I started doing some deep thinking around micro-organizing after reading bell hook’s All About Love because it gave me a deeper social understanding of what love could be in community.
I feel that deeply and literally. However, there are a group of people who greatly benefit from us being exhausted and unable to organize against them, and many of them helped write Project 2025 🙃 We must resist. There are, however, numerous ways to resist! If you’re tired, rest in community-rest is also a form of anti-capitalist resistance according to Black feminist scholar Tricia Hersey. I’d recommend reading her book Rest is Resistance if you haven’t already. Thank you for watching and actually engaging with the video! ❕🗣️🤎✨
@@victorythecreator would you consider making a follow up video to this one discussng findind and building community? it's something i'm trying to do more of with my limited capacity, and i'd be interested in hearing your advice/perspective
Symbologically inclined to still hate the q word and inverted 6 rung rainbow, missing the magenta, too and need to do more research, but intuitively we all need to amalgamate, ASAP?
Survive first, argue colors flags and symbols over ice cream later. I grab whoever feels lonely, left out, and unmothered. My non-binariness and bi-sexualness and neurodivergence is hard to separate from childhood trauma and war trauma and the fog of motherhood and wifehood under capitalism and patriarchy. Words and symbols are important, and your feelings and need to be seen are also valid. Some of us aren't going to get it and also still want to help and are good at the practical "have you eaten yet?" side of the house. Be patient with our lack of theory, and we'll save you a bowl of ice cream so you can endure the patience required to catch us up later. Much ❤ from Alaska.
More so-called "food" education, to spiritual practices, leading to breatharianism, solarian and energetically ballanced in healing mental health onwards in our (re-)evolution, too, if not already, too?
They don't say it because it's funny, they say it because youtube stupid guidelines of what is acceptable and monetizable forbids them from using the correct words.

I get to be an auntie, my family is open and accepting me, and a creator is celebrating pride with me. It feels like a month bespoke to me 🎉💖
Absolutely❕🥳 Feels like the month should never end 👀
I get to be an aunt too! So much better than being an uncle.
I combined the title and thumbnail and read “how project 2025 saves queer lives” I got so scared for a second😭
HELP LMFAO
Same here 😂
PLZ i did the same and was like oh shiiiii what are they about to do to us now 💀😭
"They came for (insert other group) and we said nothing. Then they came for us." Well this time we are speaking and we will not stand down.
All of the intersectional smoke 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️✨✨✨
It's scary how Martin Niemoller's words continue to be relevant today.
Yes!! The people at the top making laws cannot see our struggles so we must help eachother here on the ground! We can’t win any ideological fights without talking with our physical immediate community and learning and growing together

Finally sat for this convo 👀
@@Tirrrb Love seeing you in my comment section ☺️🤎✨
I love your video, but I have a question: How do we build community support?
Do i start knocking on my neighbor's doors asking to join the group?

I dont know how to find community. The queer people I do meet are too exhausted to fight.

@@victorythecreator yes
Also we need this approach to also intersect for animal, environmental and which are also human rights in (anti-capitalistic) veganism, too?
Vegan human rights also in the form of health, including mental health?

Also becareful of duelistic terms, especially if it gives intrusive thoughts?
The word amalgamate in this context is absolutely hilarious, but in response to the late part of your sentence, yes 🤣

All of which is to say "You're probably right, and some of us are struggling in a completely opposite direction to even begin to argue."
I need to get me a giant hand fan like this i feel like its beeded
needed 💀😭
I agree! It, as you can see, was INCREDIBLY needed LMFAO

@costelinha1867, it's interesting how RUclips has that policy. Isn't one of our key freedoms the freedom of speech??
