And don't we see the sheer ridiculousness of the whole group thing on channels like this one, where the protagonist is part of one such exclusive club, but since he no longer thinks like they do, he is not welcome no more?
As a strait white “conservative” man I love this channel. I’ve always been accepting of people regardless of what they believe or what they look like. But some things lately have gotten out of line for me (mostly when you start going after people’s children) It’s refreshing to see the perspective of someone who is unafraid to believe what they want but have some damn sense at the same time. Keep up the great work sir
I was told that I hate myself and that I'm "homophobic" because I act straight and not "gay enough". Like just because I'm gay, doesn't mean i have to stop liking sports and should start talking in a "gay voice" 😂
Tomboys were the down to earth girls next door in the 90s. A chick on a skateboard was just awesome chick. A gay dude wasn't a dude that acted gay because he adopted it as a major part of his personality, he was just a regular dude that was gay. I don't know why things got so complicated since then.
because professors write ridiculous books about 'gender theory' that people who still have adolescent brains but think they are adults turn into a religion subconciously. so tired of all the theory talk. theory is NOT reality no matter how much people on all sides want to pick their theory and force it on the rest of us.
I feel the same so many of my friends are gay I never knew many were gay until I meet there other half. Also this trans hate when really they don’t want to see children getting transitioned especially young children. It’s not hated all. It’s actually love and caring for that child because teenagers preteens they go through stuff sometimes they actually are sometimes they really are just confused or just like trying out stuff it is crazy to me.
One of my gay friends shared with me that when he was a child, he thought he was a girl because only girls were allowed to like boys. Then he grew up and realized he’s a gay man.
It does kind of feel like they’re trying to trans the gay away in the youth. A little girl that has more masculine qualities could be a lesbian or just a tomboy. Because they like more masculine things doesn’t mean that they want to be a boy and vice versa. It’s okay to be gay. I wish they would just leave leave the kids alone. Let them grow up to be who they are going to be and they can decide when they’re an adult.
I remember, when LGB just wanted the same rights as married hetero couples. Absolutely normal and reasonable thing. But what TQ+ wants today? What the hell??
Queer is a slur and non binary is stupid and isn’t real. Non binary has nothing to with actual transexuals. Although there are people who are actual transexual and suffer from gender dysphoria. Even trans is just a social and cultural label. Now you have people using it as a fad and personality trait.. I agree being gay and trans aren’t synopsis.
Mean no harm in my words here, but they are simply looking for acceptance. No fear of judgement, no fear for who they are. The same fear that prevented homo couples from getting married
@@BrettZa92 it def is a real thing that happens. there are ppl calling themselves "non binary lesbian" which just makes no sense. i even know one irl and its so frustrating bc why are we removing the term "women" from the actual meaning of being a lesbian
As a bisexual girl I agree. It is always us wlw who are expected to sacrifice our spaces and our labels for “inclusivity.” And quite frankly, as a radfem, it is rooted in misogyny and lesbophobia.
I'm gay, married to a Japanese guy for 14 years now. (10 years legally anyways) and we avoid the gay community. We live peaceful lives. I work, he cooks and it is a good trade off. Love and laughter. I am so happy with our lives together. So is he. :)
When people used to ask do I support the LGBT community, I used to be able to easily say “YES. Absolutely.” Now there is so much crazy sh*t, the silencing of women, changing of definitions, and added ideologies that now when I’m asked this I’m just like “Well, what do you mean? Be specific. Support which part of it?” I even get lectured and corrected when I say LGBT without adding the other letters or plus signs. These people are making it worse for people in this community. This isn’t progression, this is self-sabotage.
When they started to attack women and all of our rights, that’s when I said no more. I still support my LGB’s but it’s really hard to be accepting of the tease and the rest of the alphabet when they’re so combative and unwilling to compromise. If you don’t want to work with us, then find your own space is how I see it. Men don’t belong in our spaces! Unless you pass or look like you’re at least trying to pass, I don’t want you in my fucking space.
I was a tomboy as a girl. I hated pink, dresses, skirts, and I loved playing soccer, skating, climbing trees. I'm soo thankful I was born in the 90's because once I passed puberty I embraced my feminity naturally. I started wearing makeup and going shopping and watching romcoms all on my own. Puberty is supposed to be an incredibly confusing time for everyone. It's a process that each person has to navigate naturally.
Me too! I wanted to play sports with the boys and they were being kids, said I couldn’t play cause I was a girl. I straight up told my mom to cut my hair and wanted to be a boy. I was like 5, she let me grow out of it, thank god for the 90s 😅
Same! I used to love black, hated dresses, makeup, etc. Now that I've gotten older, pink is my favorite color, I wear dresses, I like makeup (soft tones). Even as adults, we don't exactly know where we're going through during life.
Yes!!!!! When I was a kid I rejected everything my mother liked based solely on the fact that it was her. She is super pink girly girl traditional wife and I just wasn't that. I grew up, went through my friendless teens and a Emo phase (mom actually helped me dye my hair a gross shade of red) and now I'm 27 and I'm getting married. I love cooking, I wear gowns and dress in pink for conventions because my fiance adores it and it makes me happy. I'm am so thankful for my mom going "it's just a phase" and not saying anything in that area.
I was like that as a kid, but never really grew into girly girl stuff. I still wear mostly men's clothes, keep my hair super short, if I was a lesbian I'd fit the 'butch' stereotype, but I am also happily married to a man, have multiple kids, and am not at all interested in the tacos. Churros all the way for me!
@@RenNightrainseriously true! I flip between dark and light styles. It doesn’t define me. I am not just one way about something. I just change like the seasons. These are called interests. Hobbies. Personality. Attributed. Everything has a million gender labels now it’s outrageous
@@LaurenForster Agreed! Queer by definition means strange or odd, so if it remains in the LGBT+ community it should be where the people who express their sexuality due to fetishes and kinks belong.
Im trans and bisexual and i dont understand why the T is there either honestly trans isnt a sexuality, maybe its because a lot of trans people are gay/bi but idk the ratio
@@nise512 its lumped like that because of oppression, but now lgb have the gained privileges and now have the power to leave the fight against oppression, which is sad
As a straight guy: from my perspective, all the drama is from TQ+. Allowing post-transition into women's sports? Common, I feel really sorry for girls getting crushed by XY's in sports. In general, most people are very accepting of LGB. An analogy would be, LGB is like the children's hospital, TQ+ are Hamas hiding underneath you.
As a straight man, watching videos like these gives a different perspective on concepts, ideologies and culture that I'm not apart of. It's both refreshing, intriguing and fascinating witnessing how things are in a large community that's "united" but is currently fragmenting. Great video!
Because hs can acknowledge reality. They still understand what men and women are. While also some kind of wire cross just made them attravted to the same sex. And it stays that simple. Thats why they often look and act like normal people.
As a bisexual guy who prefers women, the amount of times I’ve been told by my TQ+ friends that I’m “basically straight” and not allowed to have any sort of opinion on the topic of LGBT issues is staggering, despite them knowing that I’ve been in a couple of relationships with other men. I’ve also dated a trans “woman”, and while it seemed fine at the time, looking back at it, the amount of culty stuff she said that creeped me out was crazy. Stuff like “we’d make such a cute lesbian couple” and calling me by the feminine version of my name in public, even when I told her to stop. I’m absolutely for divorcing the LGBA from the rest of the alphabet, because at the end of the day, as long as we’re affiliated, they’re going to keep dragging us down with them in the public eye.
I'm a Christian too and when I got caught up with these people calling me bigoted. They went off and said, "Why can't you accept people for who they are?!" I replied with "I accept them as my brothers and sisters in Christ." Their response? "What about Non-Binary People? Why didn't you say siblings?"
@@XanderBit Pretty much and it was all because I said I was confused about a non-binary video game character to be referred to as "He/Him" when they were only Non-Binary in the video game's coding and not the narrative. He said I was being an ass to NB people and I thought, "Oh, there must be a misunderstanding between us. I'll explain to him that I meant no offense." Biggest mistake of my life.
This statement is false, there are intersex people who exist. In fact, being intersex in some form or another is as common as red hair. So yes, there are people with poles and holes, and I know some personally. Biology is really weird and crazy things happen all the time that we aren’t taught about in high school biology.
I'm a lesbian and I agree with you too. I also reallllly hate being labeled transphobic for not wanting to date a trans woman, I like the holes not the poles...and not post op holes either, cause I hear that argument sometimes too. 😫
My tolerance for the T crowd went out the window when my cousin who’s a lesbian got beaten almost into a coma by a T because she wouldn’t sleep with him, I mean “her”. I will stand by the LGBs but I am beyond done with T+ insanity
Amir getting grossed out talking about female anatomy in a sexual context is always so f*cking funny to me 😭 “the uterus, the w A L L S, th-the-the… LABIAS” 😂😂😂
@@theresas740 I guess I'm also 'old-school gay' then. I can talk about them, just don't ask me to deal with them or the people attached to them more than necessary. I really tried the straight thing, and all the more power to straight guys to attempt to handle dealing with women.
@@Puzzlesocksas a straight woman, i agree. I can’t understand what a lesbian likes about the cat. It makes me want to gag if I hypothetically think I had to do that with a woman. Poles all day for me
As a demiromantic trans guy I honestly don't like how many people of the TQ+ community are targeting minors and I'm one myself. But in the other hand, I just wish for people to respect my identity, I know I'll never be a "real" man and I don't want to force any ideology into anyone. All I want is be myself.
Most trans men are quite chill. Whose i mostly have problems with are trans women, because most of them are constantly forcing themselvs on female spaces and demanding people to accept them as a "real woman".
I am a 65 yr old straight woman has had gay friends since HS. i supported the LGB community since the 80's. Now it is hard to support the LGBTQ+ because to me, it has gotten ridiculous. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to live their best lives but don't try to force me to do anything.
💯 Thanks for the support! I'm gay and I fight the community I once was part of, because it has nothing to do with its origins anymore. The LGB community I would support, but not the other insanity. I think we should just forget about these groups in general. I might be gay, but I'm so much more than that. Above all I'm a human being...
The privilege to be so flippant about being gay is astonishing. The same groups you are bashing for being annoying and too much have put blood, sweat and tears so you aren't get kxlled for being yourself. I'm from a muslim country, you transphobes pi$$ me off. @GJS2183
That and it's also become more of a belief system (gender ideology adding the whole idea of infinite genders just because you mix and match stereotype traits in your style, or because of personality traits being unnecessarily stereotyped to a gender).
For me, as long as people don't insist that I'll find "ThE rIgHt PeRsOn FoR mE" I'm cool. I'm actually part of the IA part of the alphabet (aroace) so have no interest in sex with anyone.
When I was younger, I said I wanted to be a boy because I didn't want to go girly things. Kudos to my mom for letting me play with the toys I wanted too, and supporting my super hero obsession. As I grew up, I realized that I didn't want to be a boy. I just didn't want to wear dresses, play dolls, or braid hair. To this day, I still hate clothes shopping. My twin is a total girly girl though. 😂
same tbh. I feel like a lot of trans kids would realise this if their parents just let them be who they wanted, and they can figure out their gender when they are adults and their hormones are balanced and minds are more developed
@sapphirewelch7369 I'll always remember asking for a Ninja Turtle Happy Meal after getting back from seeing the 2007 movie with my siblings. My dad screamed in the car "No! You're not a boy!" My mom shut him down quick and told the stunned drive thru worker that I would like a Mikey Toy. She's the best! I got the action figures I wanted for Christmas and got to rock my superhero shirts and light up shoes. The only thing my dad accomplished with that was made me think I had to be a boy to like Ninja Turtles.
I’m a tomboy too, though on the spectrum you’re probably a little more butch and I’m probably a little more fluid. My day to day wear is basketball shorts or jeans, but I do like to dress up now and again, and I like to keep my hair longer than a “boy cut.” I always loved braiding my hair, always hated dolls and certain “girly things.” Dresses were touch and go, I hated bright pink and excessive frills but always enjoyed a hippie sun dress or a long black dress haha I totally appreciate what you’re saying here. While I never personally framed it to myself as “wanting to be a boy” (I knew I wanted to keep my body parts) I always wondered what it would be like to be a shapeshifting magician who could be a boy or girl whenever I want. That is a neat thought spiritually and artistically, but ultimately, I would not want to permanently alter my body and lose the body I have. I am a woman, biologically. My fit are a little big for a girl but I’m a female. And that doesn’t bother me at all, never has. I’m glad nobody put it in my head as a child that it has to bother me just because I like some sports and some “boy things” and my favorite color is blue and I like cozy clothes 😂 I think children should just be allowed to be children and only decide if they want to change genders when they become adults, and that even adults should probably go more the haircuts and clothes route rather than surgical alteration because there’s a lot of evidence it doesn’t actually help and has all sorts of side effects. I feel like there should be two main sexes, and that “intersex” (hermaphrodite) should be recognized as a 3rd rare but valid category for people to prevent childhood genital operations and HRT on intersex children and let them choose if they’re male or female or still a hermaphrodite when they become adults. I believe nobody, whether a hermaphrodite or a boy or girl, should be forced to have medical interventions as a child. (Intersex interventions don’t cure infertility or other issues, they’re purely cosmetic and social, just like trans procedures). I think we need to culturally steer away from seeing transgender as a medical or mental health issue (body dysmorphia impacts everyone, women who have eating disorders, men who take performance enhancers, to this current transgender phenomenon) and understand that self harm would go down with less bullying of butch girls and flamboyant or effeminate boys, and less indoctrination. I think we need to go back to seeing transgender as a spiritual or aesthetic phenomenon, something that people do either for aesthetic expression or because they align more spiritually and personality wise with feminine or masculine personality and want to match their expression to their interior. Drag queens and butch women have been relentlessly bullied throughout history, so instead of accepting their body and personality combo, they want to go to a doctor to “fix” it now. Except that doesn’t fix the real problem. These androgynous or cross-dressing groups were never a problem to begin with, we just made it a problem for a long time. Now that it’s no longer a problem to a lot of people, it’s like the people who are still stuck in the trauma or with a bigoted environment go searching for a medical solution. This can’t be solved that way.
I'm a straight man with a couple of gay friends, and all of us agree that the TQ+ community targeting young innocent children in schools is absolutely horrid.
@kaninma7237thats a f k n g lie!!!!!!!!!! And you know it and because you lie and say there is no such thing happening, at all,people will hate you even more for denying such thing's. Look up Isla Bryson. I have many other cases in mind.
@@theresas740nah bro istg any parent would have a gay child than a trans kid ... these woke liberal MFS do it for attention 💯 also how tf does a child that didn't even attend puberty know abt their sexuality?
Because then you will fell safe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wow as a gay man I don’t agree with half of what this culture has done but to say f u guys I’m not trans go ahead do whatever you want to them is a slap in the face to the “freedoms” too many gay men and women who Never had the chance to live “freely” the way we do now without be jailed or killed. Maybe think about that before being selfish to save face for people who want to get rid of us all anyway but play the long game of picking us off one letter at a time until boom back to square one. But no “they don’t have a problem with the LGB’s just the TQ+‘s” lol younger me Even knew better than that.
It is separate, it’s just the TQ+ population is mostly straight and much larger and louder. And they have the backing of all western governments, billion dollar industries and the healthcare industry in Canada, Australia and the U.S. It’s gay David versus multiple Goliaths.
If I had grown up in the current lgbtqia+ landscape when I was a kid, I would have been called a trans man. I was just a bisexual tomboy. If that does not make people realise how f'd up things are idk what will
Adults pushing kids in my gen (late gen z) and gen alpha to be trans is the reason why I got so confused and transitioned a few years ago. I detransitioned after my depression and anxiety got to an extreme high because I was being told by adults, and trying to convince myself I was trans when I wasn't. It's so wrong to tell kids theyre trans just because they like "boys" activites and have more male then female friends.
Thank you for sharing your journey with regard to this topic. I'm glad you are waking up to the lies (even if the adults meant well) that are being told. Keep staying strong 💪🏻🫡
@@Sorre3nga1il My homie I ain't one of yo people and I ain't an ally but what this youngin was talkin bout is really simple the idea of pushing for transitioning to lil kids is very wrong
Yep, I had to step off the alphabet plantation when I was essentially was told to "shut up" after expressing concerns about adding TQ+. The arguments got to be so bad I just walked away.
I had a similar experience to it, except that deaths threats followed, i had quite a lot of hatred to report to the authorities. I stopped being a part of the "community" and i dissociated myself with them completely. Awful miserable idiotic little cultists they are.
I once got told on Twitter that I had to "pick a side" when I came out as bi. When I reminded that person (a trans femme btw) what the "B" in LBGT stood for, they told me "you don't count" and that I should stop trying to seek attention. How fucking ironic.
I hate pushing the sex/gender stuff in schools, especially elementary and middle school ages. Just let kids be kids please. Figuring these things as an adult is tough enough, how is a kid supposed to know?
From what I've seen, recruitment reasons. A bunch of different groups shove stuff like this in the faces of children because it's a lot easier convincing a kid with no pre-determined ideals that your opinion, belief, or way of living is the correct way, rather than convincing an adult who most likely already has set opinions on topics like this.
I do think it has to be talked about in school. Not meaning telling a boy he can be a girl, but kids should know their are people who are trans. Or that their are kids with maybe 2 mothers and 2 fathers, but it should only be done in a short workshop or something not every week.
@@chaoticevilduck8922 It shoudnt be about wheter its right or wrong. Kids should know things like this exist, but it shoudnt be brought up every week, or be a regular topic. It should also not be brought as "You as a boy can become a girl" but I do think it has to be aknowledged.
The number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, gender nonconforming (tomboys and effeminate boys), and autistic people who have said they would have thought they were trans if they grew up in today's time is concerning. I myself questioned my own identity when I was younger just because I felt insecure about not being feminine enough. Imagine having activists in your ear constantly pushing you further instead of giving you proper space.
@@pixelcode6595it’s dress-up. Period. If you were born a female, then your genetic code is female. Because you shaved your head and went to the doctor and got Test injected and micro needling to grow a beard, guess what. You are still a woman. Some people accept just throwing on a wig and make up and calling themselves the opposite gender is okay…ITS NOT! And these are the same people that are breaching genetic privacy, such as going into gender specific locker rooms and gender specific (FOR A REASON THATS WHY WE HAVE THEM) male and female bathrooms. It’s just not right and my head will never understand why we must have a community that wants the whole world to accept it! Jonathan, an individual that “turned” into a woman doesn’t have Menstruation, an actual woman does and that’s a slap in the face for the actual born and raises women that go through that hell on a monthly basis!
While this isn't about asexuals, I do want to mention this as i think it may important. Meanwhile, asexuals are just slowly becoming our own community, because people in and out of the queer community pushed us out of conversations and the overall meaning of being "queer." It's gotten to the point where we've been silently forgotten. LGBA? The A is for who, again? QIA+? Depending on who you talk to, the A is for Ally, because asexuals are on thin-frikin-ice. We didn't ask for this, we surely support everyone, but sadly we got shadow banned jsut being ourselves. Idk why- maybe it's because we lost the struggle competition, or that there's no way to act or be visually "asexual," or that it's "boring" to be ace and we ruin the fun for those who want to get lusty, or since we're simply not the loudest party. There's quite a lot to learn from asexuality, but we don't (for the most part) force asexuality on others. Sure, it could get complex as 'asexual' is an umbrella term, but you don't HAVE to engage in the in-depth aspect if you don't want to.
I’ve started seeing the TQ+ like that one friend that’s destroying their life and yours by proxy (and won’t take help to fix it). The healthiest thing to do in that case is to leave, then come back when they’re ready to listen. The TQ plus just needs to grow up, since they don’t even see their own destruction. Then, they can come back
I think when this whole trendy culty movement of the T passes out of fashion, the OG LGBT can reform. Right now they need to go find themselves and go to therapy.
@@wildhorses1339 yea, though I don’t think a lot of people would be eager to join back up even then. I think the T has a good 2 decades of work to get back into the community.
Amir… I freaking love your channel! I am a conservative, Bible believing , Jesus loving Christian. When I became a father, I started actually adulting. Before that I never really cared a whole lot about politics, social issues, finances, and so on… But, as my kids are getting older and I think about the future world they are coming in to, and the things I’m seeing in our community here now, I’ve started to become much more involved in what’s going on. Being able to pick through all the different beliefs, through the deceit, through chaos and confusion that has been growing in our country and the world at large has been quite difficult for me. It has seriously challenged some of my own beliefs, of course, and solidified others. But, I have to say that your channel has been a great help to me in understanding some issues, especially recent political ones, that I have had a hard time in finding truth and understanding. I love the way you present things and you are a pleasure to watch! I believe we are in a spiritual battle. I believe that as we move further away from what God has revealed to us in scripture, the further our hearts are darkened. My heart aches for the people who are being swept away by these ideologies that have been created by people who care nothing for the people that they affect. I was swept away ( unrelated to the topic of this video) when I was young and Jesus was the only one that restored me to sanity. Trust me I tried everything else. So, I continue to put my trust in Him, and for anyone who may be reading this, I implore you to do the same. People may let you down, but He will not. Jesus calls us to love God, love our neighbor, and to pray for our enemies. If the TQI+ community is claiming love, but exercising hate on the LGB community and children, I ask that we pray for them instead of hate back, and fight for what’s right, and good, and true. Recently, my company had sent out a company wide email inviting any who wishes, to help volunteer in the local Pride Parade. I asked one of my gay coworkers about his thoughts on the current Pride movement, and his sentiments were pretty much spot on to what you’ve outlined here! He told me that he wouldn’t be able to be here in this country, together with his husband, if same-sex marriage had not been advocated for by the “original” Pride movement. We both came to the conclusion that the movement has diverted from its original intent. It is my understanding that, “sex” must be considered an immutable attribute in order to be considered a civil right, thus making same-sex marriage a civil right. But, if half of the Alphabet Community is advocating that sex is fluid and not immutable, then they are counter to same-sex marriage, and all of the rights that go with it. While I believe “marriage”, as we know it now, is a Judeo-Christian institution between a man and a woman, I do believe that it goes against the American Constitution, to deny a couple their rights to the pursuit of happiness, because sex IS immutable and grounded in reality, regardless of orientation, and to deny these rights goes against the American dream. To have a healthy lifelong relationship, you need to be able to share property, finances, family visitation rights, taxes and so on! I am glad that my coworker is here in America with his loved one, even though I may not agree with some of his choices. Keep fighting the good fight Amir, and I pray for the success of what’s good, true, and beautiful for our country ❤
LGB Alliance in UK were chastised for only campaigning for LGB rights. Lesbians in the UK were kicked from a Pride rally because their approach solely to that was "upsetting" or whatever to the TRAs. Lesbians. Not allowed at a Pride rally. Edit - Sorry, you mentioned LGB alliance at 6.30 mark
Why?… If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t be where we are now u think Gay men pushed the issue or was it the “mental ill” trans bothers and sisters. You think u would be able to say your bi and keep your family, job, status before now… no being that men like you never had the balls the same balls you laugh at with the wing and make up on for pushing the issue you want to throw under the bus. GOD may not be fond of homosexuality but he sure ain’t fond to Ugly neither.
Can’t include a group that erases the reality of homosexuality. And harasses gays, and especially lesbians, who are actually gay or lesbian. It’s antithetical.
As a trans man in the UK it baffles me when people fight for trans rights here because i have the same rights as everyone else. I can't think of any right that i don't have that others do. I will never claim to be a biological man because I'm not i am a trans man. I'm a gay trans man. I feel uncomfortable in trans spaces because of the stupidity of some trans people that for me drag down the trans community. I don't fit in to gay spaces because I don't know what its like to be a gay man. It wouldn't bother me if there was a split. I don't agree with going after the children. I don't know when it went so political and such a mess. I remember when trans people were being accepted in the mainstream but apparently that wasn't good enough and it makes it so much harder for us tgat just want to get on with life
I love how they are saying that "LGBA spawns so many violence!" - but for some reason all violence involved with LGBA was against them by TQ+ and LGBA were always a victim. Yet they have the audacity to say that they are somehow spawning violence. It is like saying that woman saying no to husband is spawning violence and it is her fault. Literally same energy.
I remember when it gays and lesbians were okay with being gay men and gay women. I know several gay men who don’t want anything to do with the pronoun brigade lol
The funny thing is that pink used to be considered the boys' color while blue was the girls' till about the WW2. Cause it is a "milder version" or red which was traditionally men's color. So basically the color division is just a cultural perception of adults children have zero bias towards colors.
I thought it was cause pink was more expensive? I did know it used to be reversed but the reasoning I thought was because red/pink was a harder pigment to get and more expensive. But I might be way off either way it’s still a fun fact that pink used to be boys color. Edit: I think I’m mixing it up with the color purple from way back. That was very expensive so it was reserved for royals and the high class or aristocrats.
What we're seeing is Floodgateism. In that; when you open the floodgates, it's extremely hard to shut them again when you have thousands of gallons of water rushing through it. The same is for ideology; when you open your community to multiple ideologies and groups of people, it's like you're opening the floodgates for all these different, and sometimes conflicting ideas, and it's very difficult to close these Floodgates again when you have thousands of voices loudly expressing how everyone in this community should act. And what you started with might have been one thing, but now it's full of different ideas, some of which being at odds with each other, you start to find that what you had to begin with has started to change and lose its original identity. Which is ironic, seeming as it's literally identity, which is the core issue here.
I like that term, Floodgateism. And you can see this when predators (calling themselves MAPs for Minor Attracted Person) tried to leech onto it. And now we have LGBT groups literally openly supporting radical Islamic groups who have put thousands of members of the LGBT community to death over the years, and would do the same to them if they had the chance.
Gender identify never made much sense to me. It has been established that clothing and colors and style are not gendered. Hell, my husband's fave house shirt is a Bowie crop top we found at target. We are a straight couple. You can dress androgynous and be a woman or man. You can wear dirty work overalls and wear makeup and paint your nails. You can wear a skirt and be a man without it meaning anything. To me, it screams "i have 0 confidence in myself as a person and i need this identity to justify my existence". It's depressing.
This! I was talking with my husband about how a lot of this just used to be considered androgyny and people didn’t even want labels. We just wanted to be who we are and not have to explain. Now, it’s like their entire existence depends on them explaining and being validated for their choices. The upside down.
@@vibrantchill7212 if I can wear women's clothes without it being an issue, then why can't I be called she/her without it being an issue? What we consider a man vs a woman are all socially constructed including what we call them. If I prefer to be called a woman, I see no reason why you should take issue with it. I even used to think the same as you until I realized I was just repressing my trans feelings.
@@MythicalPhoebe Well, yes, but then you just start adhering to gender stereotypes. Boys/men like/do this, Girls/women like/do that, when in reality, we're different.
@@Kitsunekone I can see why you'd think that, but I think it's a bit of a misconception. I am my own person with my own interests, and not all of them fall in line with the gender norms. However, I do want to have a more feminine appearance and being referred to as she/her feels more comfortable to me. Everyone is going to be different though, and I totally respect that. In all honesty, I used to be a pretty big transphobe myself and before I accepted I was trans, my take was very similar to the original commentor
I'm gay and I don't rock with those people. A woman will never know what it's like to be a man and a man will never know what it's like to be a woman. Period
@ you’re your own thing. There’s nothing wrong with being trans. It’s when you guys demand for us to call you things that you aren’t is where the problem stems from.
@@user-jp4cj3ds7p i feel you but what about if i pass. i dont have to force anyone to use my pronouns, they look at me and know them. but i am naturally female, i recognize and understand that. but i live as a man and everyone around me recognizes me as one. is that me still forcing onto people?
@FreshMadeRugs no, that isn't you forcing anything. I haven't thought about that side of the argument before. I guess That's the same type of luck straight passing gays have as well.
@@user-jp4cj3ds7p its a double edged sword 😭 i hear so much anti trans conversation because of the ones who are trans for social media and just want to prove a point, and i have to reap the consequences. like all the restroom issues, i am female but i bet if i walked into a woman restroom i know someone would want to call the police on me. they never acknowledge us who just to exist in peace
The autism community is also separate from the TQ+'s. Disabled autistic man here, I think that whole thing is beyond belief, how they think that necause we have autism we need to be included in that. We dont want fake pity. We want the people around us, those we let in to our lives, to understand us. We dont care if someone who doesnt know us doesnt get it. Thats not inclusion. Thats understanding.
It’s annoying how they are trying to lump everyone else with them. Can’t they sink alone themselves like the "courageous warriors" they are? None else want to do anything with them.
It's not just TQIA, it's TQIA+MAP, always add the +MAP. They need to own it; it's the truth behind their goals so drag it out of the darkness, from behind the curtains and bring it to the light of day for all to see.
I've started just not telling job applications I have autism and ADHD (and a couple other things that I can't remember how to spell) so I'm not lumped in with them. Luckily, unless I work in a government position, I don't need to disclose that information.
So glad you covered this. I was called trans phobic because I didn’t want to include TQ+ in the “LGB” community. It shouldn’t be controversial to say they should be separate. I’m glad someone’s finally talking about it.
I'm a straight man with a ton of hay friends and we sometimes talk about these subjects, most of them just want to live a normal life and not be pushed by these ideologies.
The LGB/T+ beef almost reminds me of the religious/gay beefs that were prevalent 30+ years ago with the 'I'm valid'/'no you're just confused' messages.
@@BrieCracker exactly this. Trans people are basically fighting the same fight for acceptance that gay people had to fight just a few short decades ago, and it's sad that the "LGB without the T" people can't realize that. They are letting history repeat itself just so they can try to "fit in" with people that hate the entire LGBT.
The left abandoned me back in 2018 or so. It became too much when I was beginning to hear "oh now transmen are men and transwomen are women". I'm not buying into that bullshit. And non-binaries denying their sex entirely. I was cool with trans people until NB became more prevalent. NB makes no sense, when they're trying to get rid of gender stereotypes now it's "I'm neither".
@@TotallyLegitNews oh yeah the "left" let you down because trans people exist and actively participate in this community and you're confused or God forbid annoyed. I'll try to feel bad for you guys 😭😭
@ I truly feel bad for people like you, being gaslight by your doctors for money in such permanent and damaging things is such a terrible thing to happen to a person.
@EpoxyOrDeath quite the assumption. You people done making shit up yet or no? Living with someone who is trans, it is extremely hard for even an adult to get access to gender affirming care, and no doctor on the fucking planet is bringing it up unprompted. Whatever fantasy world you're living in (the internet, as anybody who actually knows trans people and is active in the community knows from real experience that none of this is even close to true) doesn't actually exist irl. You are haunting yourself with demons that aren't real and it's sad.
Maybe it would make sense if it was trans women who are attracted to men or trans men attracted to women. They are technically gay. But someone who is trans and is attracted to the opposite of their own biological sex? When you think about it it really doesn't make sense. I never thought about it until some people started pointing it out. There would be a lot who would consider it transphobic. But then again what isn't called transphobic these days?
Its really sad that its gotten to the point that y'all feel THE NEED to separate but i get it. Allowing trans people to have equal rights and equal access is great, but they've been crossing boundaries and people are tired of being yelled at for not liking it. i get why you'd want to step back.
As a lesbian, i love my trans friends, i don’t mind them at all. However i’m really disappointed with the media telling me exactly what my high school bullies use to tell me. "You only like women because you’re a virgin" "you’re not a lesbian if you never slept with a men (to test out)". Like I said I love trans people, but no one will force me to be attracted to them and forcing me to go against my sexuality.
Well One The missions of the "t×ansgenderism" ideology. is to completely remove sexual attraction from the equation. Because sexuality needs to he fluid in order of their narrative to flourish. So It really doesn't matter if you love them. This is what they represent in the bigger scheme of thing's. Its like You're supporting your own demise. Because soon you'll be just another hateful bigot. Your lesbian card ain't going to help you against this ideology.
I dont love them. I think they sexually harrass lesbians and have absolutely no boundries. They hijacked the gay community. A complete disrespect of gay men and women
It's almost like those who have a fetish for missing limbs. It's not for me, but if you want, do what you want. Just please don't expect me to find it hot.
As an asexual virgin, I wonder what they'd tell me. "You wouldn't be asexual if you had sex"? There's a video on RUclips that addresses that, that borderlines are attracted to schizoids, thinking that if they show schizoids "the magic of sex", the schizoid will become normal, but it never works out. It reminds me of teachers throughout school telling me that I should "make friends" and the professors and faculty in college trying to "get me out of my shell", which the NIH wisely says not to do to a schizoid, but in all fairness, I didn't even know I was a schizoid or that that was even a thing until I quit college and went to a psychiatrist, hoping to recover from the chronic depression and suicidal ideation I experienced throughout college. Still, you'd think that someone there would have realized that I'm a schizoid and that what they were doing to me was harming me.
hi im trans/bi and agree, i think its crazy how this has gone full circle, first gay people fight off straight people trying to force them to be straight and now we have trans people shaming you if you aren't interested in their biological sex, really sorry if someone tried to do that to you.
i think people are doing too much with this trans thing, toying with it a lot and calling us "women" no we're not women, we're trans, I can't stop writing it so people get it but all i get is attacks 😭
@@-PiNKSYRUP you have a brave opinion and should speak out as much as you can. Thank you for the comment. I believe everyone should be who they want to be and live how they want as long as they do not step on the rights of others in the process.
@@nise512well there are some who "get off" on dressing like the opposite sex and "get off" on demeaning and making women uncomfortable but that isn't gender dysphoria and shouldn't be considered acceptable in anyway.
OMG! This guy’s video (at the beginning) is nailing it!! I am a “normal” gay man who has no interest in the T+ grouping and tired of their bs. I am not a “flaming”gay man, nor ever felt I needed to be. I just am myself and as a result I felt even more isolated because I didn’t act or behave a certain way. Honestly, those on the T+ need to go form their own entity.
I’m friends with two gay couples. If you didn’t know them you’d never know that they are gay. All four are great guys, happy in their relationship, hard working and friendly to everyone.
It never made sense for people who say “I’m attracted to the same sex” to be lumped together with people who say “I identify with another sex and this has nothing to do with attraction”. Those are two different things
I am a member of the LBG alliance. Hate how we are portrayed as haters. We want to preserve our rights. Why is that bad? Byvgge way,i am jewish and gay! 😊😊
Not jewish (at least not officially), but I have dozens of gay friends in Israel, the most amazing people you can imagine. When I saw the first "Queers for Palestine" sign I immediately left the Alphabet Mafia. Chickens for KFC! 🤦🏼♂️
I’m bisexual and I was fine with the LGBTQ until about a year or two ago. LGB is love. TQ is gender identity. Full stop. Also, it’s gone from LGBT, to LGBTQIA+ since I came out. It’s hard to keep up nowadays
@SverigeDjur you don't have to. I don't. Some people do. whatever. It's no thing at all. There's lots of people in the world. They have different opinions.
I appreciate your frustration, Amir. It is getting very tiring to see the insanity, and the voices of reason seemed silent for many years. Keep fighting the good fight to bring reason to the discussions.
It's pretty simple, nobody in the Gay Community has EVER asked me to deny scientific principles and ignore fundamental reality. Any differences of opinion are political, religious or philosophical. That is acceptable, as we can universally expect to have differences on those grounds. But asking me to deny reality is a non-starter. This is the "Emperor's New Clothes" in real life, and I'll be damned if I pretend that idot is wearing clothes. Also, LOL at "churros not tacos". That's brilliant.
This is the fundamental difference to me as well. I'm straight, but I can interact with gay people normally and am not asked to alter the definitions of words or otherwise say something I know isn't true.
@robertfarrell6757 there is a consensus in the science/research field about transgenderism. Just because you dont understand something doesn't mean its not real. I don't understand heterosexuality, but its still real.
@@laylah150 No there isn't. EVERY scientist who supports it as an activist. Full stop. There is NO WAY to objectively confirm any variable. If you ask a person what sex they are, you can disagree with their answer and they can provide OBJECTIVE evidence to support their case. If you ask a person their gender, you can disagree with their answer and there is not one single piece of OBJECTIVE evidence that they can provide. In fact, the advocates themselves are constantly pointing out that there is no objective evidence. If there was, then there would have to be such a thing as male and female characteristics, behaviors, etc/ regarding gender, which is the exact opposite of the their claims. They openly flaunt how unscientific it is at every opportunity. The entire concept of gender is and transgenderism is inherently immune to the scientific method. That should have been your first clue. You have been duped by self-serving pseudo-science. Go back to the drawing board buckaroo.
I'm not gay myself, but I grew up in the community. My mom is gay, some of my best life mentors are gay, i've had dozens of gay friends throughout my life, and I've always stood by the side of let all people have the same rights across the board. I can't bring myself to agree with what the TQ+ are trying to push. I've tried. I've tried to view it from a point of understanding. I've tried to view it from the point that I might be wrong, but I simply cannot bring myself to agree with a lot of what they stand for. Mind you, if an adult has put in the proper effort; going to doctors, going to therapists, thinking introspectively, and have come out on the other side of it believing they exist in the wrong body, while I can disagree with it from my own viewpoint, (assuming they're otherwise good person) I'm not going to treat that person any differently than I would anybody else. My issue comes majorly from the people who hide behind the shield of "trans rights and phobias" to defend stances that affect children and the overall good of society. My issue comes from the stances the community takes on pushing their ideologies on impressionable and confused children and teenagers. My issue comes from the people who will call you phobic for disagreeing that children shouldn't be allowed to make decisions about their bodies before they can even legally vote. But most of all, my issues lie with the people who support these people by defending their actions under the veil of 'trans rights'. Nobody is telling you that you can't make these decisions as an adult. Nobody is saying that you can't live your life. Stop forcing us to use language that you make up on the spot one day. Stop putting books about your ideas into schools where children are already confused about what's expected of them as sexual partners. It's disgusting, and only serves to harm whatever positive moral compass you may still hold the right to.
Why is this even a question? (commenting before watching) I'm same sex attracted, and I never understood why people seem to think that has anything to do with "trans"
Because it started as.. LGB… then LGBT.. then LGBTQ+… now we have gotten to LGBTQ+2S… it’s all assumed they are part of the same agenda.. which yes is a bad assumption but majority of LGB supporters don’t think this way… it’s the same way with libs thinking if your black your a democrat… it’s a bad assumption but sadly the people aren’t proving us wrong.
I love your take on this topic. I hate the term Lesboy that surfaced on tiktok, YOU CANT BE A LESBIAN IF YOUR BIOLOGICAL A BOY!! We've gotten so delusional to the point where we don't even know what these terms even mean anymore. It urks me so bad and everyone is praising acceptance for everything, some things don't need to be accepted especially if it's inherently incorrect.
Millennials are terrible at grammar and vocabulary and Z are borderline illiterate. Yet both groups defend their inability to speak and write correctly through this high attitude, low IQ position that says, “tHInGs cHaNge.” This was done on purpose, it’s all part of a social experiment to redefine everything as socially determined and re-definable at will so they can redefine what it means to be a person.
You're only a lesbian if you like women and that means biological women! I'm not even transphobic, I like trans people a lot but I'm sick of lesbians being labelled as transphobes because they want biological females and not trans"women"
TQ+ will never allow themselves to be disowned by LGB. Nor will TQ+ ever allow the pride flag to no longer be associated with them. LGB needs to abandon the flag (and don’t make a new one, TQ+ will just appropriate it) and disown TQ+ publicly. Let TQ+ stand and fall on their own and LGB just look out for each other the way all other people do within their own social groups organically
That flag shouldn't be honored anyway so it should be easy to abandon it seeing as who designed it in the first place...... Lets say that guy was creepy in every sense of the word.
As a Bisexual, i’ve been trying to get this across to the “Pansexuals”. i literally got called a b!-f4g by a pansexual in return. They still aren’t ready for this convo tbh
@azeldafan4578 I don't get the whole pansexual thing. I love fantasy books and read a series years ago that had pansexuals in it but it meant they were agreeable to sex with other species (meaning werewolf, were panther and so forth). So the first time a person told me they were pansexual, I was totally in shock and trying to figure out how that worked in real life. 🤣 I am not making fun of pansexuality, just haven't heard a good definition of what it actually means.
@@charliefarrar7149I tried understanding it too, but after a while it became clear that it's basically just bisexuality with extra steps and denial of reality
I’m Bi, my 18 year old daughter is bi and a lot of her friends identify as Trans or some other letter of the extended alphabet. I got lectured by these children on how discriminating it was for me to call myself bi… then I laid some wisdom on them and even though they haven’t changed at least they are able to see and understand what it is for someone to call themselves bi and that we aren’t evil.
im 16 and only recently did i really finish my "journey" of understanding my sexuality and one of the things that made it really hard to actually get to the point where im happy with my state is pansexuality its in practice the exact same as bisexuality but people telling me about it did everything to try and get me to think im pan and not bi one of the ways they did this was what in my opinion amounted to villainising bisexual people they would claim that pan people "cared more about emotions" basically saying that a bisexual person doesnt care about the person who they are with they just want sex i now realise that was just a complete lie they are literally the exact same thing pan is just saying "hey guys look at me i like non-binary people aswell" (im bisexual btw and have no problems dating non-binary people who are actually chill and understanding)
I'm a bi woman and had a "nonbinary" roommate that was also bisexual. Yeeeeaaaaa that wasn't enough to make us get along 😂 literally screamed at me on multiple occasions but I could never get down with this stuff, sorry
So this is my first time watching Amir's content and the title was intriguing so I thought I'd check it out. I don't identify with anything inside the LGBTQ+ community but I've definitely felt that in recent years the back half of those letters has become an anchor for the front half. Their actions are painting the gay and bisexual community in a bad light and it's very unfortunate that they've all been lumped in together. I know we all like to hear validation of our opinions but it was nice to finally see someone from the community echo my thoughts. I can't even pretend to understand the experiences of a non-straight, non-gender confused individual but to hear that just from observation I've come to the correct conclusion, I certainly feel more connected with the LGB community than ever. Also, the way Amir delivered the news and his little quips were making me laugh the whole time. Especially the taco/churro analogy. Top-tier comedy man, keep up the good work.
I recommend checking out Blaire White too. I think you’d appreciate her as I do. I don’t always agree with her all the time (I’m not sure I believe transgender has to be a medical experience, rather than just what we had for thousands of years with drag queens having their own lane, and I think body dysmorphia is a modern phenomenon the same way eating disorders in women are)… but I appreciate her takes on protecting children from unnecessary operations, how bottom surgery is dangerous, and how she believes that children should be protected from groomers, whether they’re LGBT or straight groomers.
its all the way around in my country, gay marriage got approved and they're more accepted but trans people like me still fear being assaulted and killed
A group of guys used to meet up on Saturday afternoon to run some ball. One fella named Sam was part of the guys that played. We hung out about 3 years and one Saturday he said he was getting married. Said he was marrying a guy named Phil. Everybody said wow man that's cool congratulations and then we started playing. Funny thing is, nobody knew he was gay and nobody cared because we knew Sam was a good guy. No moral to the story just a story.
See, this is exactly the type of story which affirms my belief the LGBTQ group shouldn't exist. Not out of hate, but to stop the weird separation and tribalism that society is doing. Just live your life, as yourself. As best as you can.
I'm not gay, but have a Gay brother, a Bi sister & have been friends with their dates or multiple other Trans, too (I am in the 30s). I agree & have actual LGB friends & family members who also agree. Not bein' 1, I doubt my words mean much, but my actual LGB family members will agree with you, as well. Keep up the great videos, btw. I'm glad you were recommended to me long ago. Your videos are awesome. I just don't comment for 1) When I comment on videos, it always starts an argument & Idk why & 2) I'm not 1 of you no matter how much I agree, so... I don't feel like my comments have much impact than others like my brother, sister or LGB family members.
Honestly, I turn off comment notifs so if there is an argument, I won't see it unless I happen to go back to the vid. I think half of my comments would start a fight as well simply because 1. Words and me aren't friends (thanks, autism) 2. I may have a hot take Not just here, but in a lot of vids. I think your say means just as much as others' if it helps. I'm not gay or trans (I'm part of the A as an aroace) but I still feel like yes, some things are super outta hand amongst the communities. I also have gay / trans friends and would fight for them as much as I would my straight / biological gender friends, as well as myself. Basically, don't let your own orientation make you sound any "less" than someone who's in the community. I know these effect straight folks as well.
Please don't worry about the people that demand 100% adherence to their views or you're apparently Hitler. F that noise, say what you want, odds are someone is glad to read it!
as a bi man i love when straight people get into the conversation they bring a unique perspective that can actually be helpful in these conversations please do get involved more often your insights are more valued than some people will make you think
I'm gay and I think the same, I've had trouble coming out of the closet because I really don't want to be associated with these new ideologies. Most of my friends are straight and I really don't want them to think I'm weird or annoying.
As a Christian 62 year old Grandma, I have a hard time with all this.Life is difficult enough growing up without having other people's perception of who/what you are being forced on a child. They can't distinguish between sarcasm and truthfulness let alone subjects they are just too young to comprehend! Amir, though I don't agree with the lifestyle, I really find your videos refreshing: You have a BRAIN 🧠 and you use it to see through garbage😊
Hello there internet grandma! I am a Christian as well (albeit a teenager), and I do share the same sentiments with this same modern ridiculousness. Also, as @The_Genuine_Gunner said, grandmas are awesome. 😎
As an Asexual, I never even knew why we were included to begin with. Especially after we got demoted to the "+" when we existed before the "TQ" not important enough I guess lmao
PREACH AMIR!! 🎉❤❤ Much love and appreciation from me and my wife (we are lesbians) we agree with you and love your videos it’s so nice to listen to and know other people in the LGB community agree with how we feel!
As a straight on the outside looking in (that felt weird to type), the reason the groups are clumped together because A. Gays integrated society into accepting them and the activist groups starting running dry and needed something to advocate for. B. Trans/queers wanted to graft onto the success of the gay community to bypass/hide behind criticism exclusive to them and/or the bad actors.
I see it differently. Trans people were there from the beginning, though in smaller numbers and less known of then versus now. It was around the time that being anti-gay marriage wasn't driving people to the polls anymore that trans people entered into the right's political spotlight as the "newest form of degeneracy" to go after. Also, back when queer folk were being oppressed by Nazis and the like, they made no distinction between one type of "queerness" and the other. It was all the same to them. The trans people were in the background of the gay rights movement the whole time. And now the gays are willing to abandon their trans allies the moment they obtained the slightest hint of acceptance from society. As if they're suddenly elavated above them, when they were in the same situation before. Everything that's being said now of trans people was said of gays before.

As a strait white “conservative” man I love this channel. I’ve always been accepting of people regardless of what they believe or what they look like. But some things lately have gotten out of line for me (mostly when you start going after people’s children)
It’s refreshing to see the perspective of someone who is unafraid to believe what they want but have some damn sense at the same time.
Keep up the great work sir
Oh wow they freakin flagged your video under conversion therapy wow
I was told that I hate myself and that I'm "homophobic" because I act straight and not "gay enough". Like just because I'm gay, doesn't mean i have to stop liking sports and should start talking in a "gay voice" 😂
Our tolerant and inclusive "community"...
Such people are the worst..they stereotype just as much as the homophobes
Funny how they claims to fight against stereotypes,
but they are enforcing them..
Thats insane.... isn't "self expression" a core tenet ?
And you don't have to. You don't have to change you to be ok as you.
Tomboys were the down to earth girls next door in the 90s. A chick on a skateboard was just awesome chick. A gay dude wasn't a dude that acted gay because he adopted it as a major part of his personality, he was just a regular dude that was gay. I don't know why things got so complicated since then.
because professors write ridiculous books about 'gender theory' that people who still have adolescent brains but think they are adults turn into a religion subconciously. so tired of all the theory talk. theory is NOT reality no matter how much people on all sides want to pick their theory and force it on the rest of us.
they want SPECIAL PRIVILEGES, never equality
"Progress" though 😂
I feel the same so many of my friends are gay I never knew many were gay until I meet there other half. Also this trans hate when really they don’t want to see children getting transitioned especially young children. It’s not hated all. It’s actually love and caring for that child because teenagers preteens they go through stuff sometimes they actually are sometimes they really are just confused or just like trying out stuff it is crazy to me.
The T
One of my gay friends shared with me that when he was a child, he thought he was a girl because only girls were allowed to like boys. Then he grew up and realized he’s a gay man.
Same thing here. I’m happy with who I am and can’t imagine the distress of growing up with this stuff
Seems to be a common experience.
You just described 95% of "trans women", who simply didn't realize they were JUST GAY MEN.
@@dumbbumsc5329yeah me too lol in my teenage brain it was harder to comprehend that I was gay than to believe that I was somehow just a girl
It does kind of feel like they’re trying to trans the gay away in the youth. A little girl that has more masculine qualities could be a lesbian or just a tomboy. Because they like more masculine things doesn’t mean that they want to be a boy and vice versa. It’s okay to be gay. I wish they would just leave leave the kids alone. Let them grow up to be who they are going to be and they can decide when they’re an adult.
I remember, when LGB just wanted the same rights as married hetero couples. Absolutely normal and reasonable thing. But what TQ+ wants today? What the hell??
Queer is a slur and non binary is stupid and isn’t real. Non binary has nothing to with actual transexuals. Although there are people who are actual transexual and suffer from gender dysphoria. Even trans is just a social and cultural label. Now you have people using it as a fad and personality trait.. I agree being gay and trans aren’t synopsis.
Mean no harm in my words here, but they are simply looking for acceptance. No fear of judgement, no fear for who they are.
The same fear that prevented homo couples from getting married
Right? I feel after marriage equality, that was it. That was the final goal.
You can’t win. It’s always more more more
i'm a lesbian and i HATE the way theyre trying to change the meaning of lesbian from "women attracted to women" to "non men attracted to non men".
Totally agree!! 🤮
@@Alisonws Is this truly happening?
@@BrettZa92 it def is a real thing that happens. there are ppl calling themselves "non binary lesbian" which just makes no sense. i even know one irl and its so frustrating bc why are we removing the term "women" from the actual meaning of being a lesbian
As a bisexual girl I agree. It is always us wlw who are expected to sacrifice our spaces and our labels for “inclusivity.” And quite frankly, as a radfem, it is rooted in misogyny and lesbophobia.
@mimixchan9982 bisexual women aren't lesbian. Why do yah always speak when a conversation is about lesbians? We're not the same.
I'm gay, married to a Japanese guy for 14 years now. (10 years legally anyways) and we avoid the gay community. We live peaceful lives. I work, he cooks and it is a good trade off. Love and laughter. I am so happy with our lives together. So is he. :)
Awh that's so sweet :')
Good for you guys. Simple...just live your lives😊
yhea keep him in the kitchen.
this is a joke just in case
I’m a gay Japanese/White woman & happy you’re happily married. Does he make you miso in the morning?
why do you even need them?
When people used to ask do I support the LGBT community, I used to be able to easily say “YES. Absolutely.” Now there is so much crazy sh*t, the silencing of women, changing of definitions, and added ideologies that now when I’m asked this I’m just like “Well, what do you mean? Be specific. Support which part of it?” I even get lectured and corrected when I say LGBT without adding the other letters or plus signs. These people are making it worse for people in this community. This isn’t progression, this is self-sabotage.
I just go with “they don’t support women or women’s rights, they don’t care about protecting children so I don’t support the LGBT”
When they started to attack women and all of our rights, that’s when I said no more. I still support my LGB’s but it’s really hard to be accepting of the tease and the rest of the alphabet when they’re so combative and unwilling to compromise. If you don’t want to work with us, then find your own space is how I see it. Men don’t belong in our spaces! Unless you pass or look like you’re at least trying to pass, I don’t want you in my fucking space.
I say “be more specific” 😂
I only support the first three.
It’s hard to see how trans relates to homosexuality at all, other than being another minority.
I need to show my daughter this video. She's 13 and it's been so hard. Thank you Amir.

I was a tomboy as a girl. I hated pink, dresses, skirts, and I loved playing soccer, skating, climbing trees. I'm soo thankful I was born in the 90's because once I passed puberty I embraced my feminity naturally. I started wearing makeup and going shopping and watching romcoms all on my own. Puberty is supposed to be an incredibly confusing time for everyone. It's a process that each person has to navigate naturally.
Me too! I wanted to play sports with the boys and they were being kids, said I couldn’t play cause I was a girl. I straight up told my mom to cut my hair and wanted to be a boy. I was like 5, she let me grow out of it, thank god for the 90s 😅
Same! I used to love black, hated dresses, makeup, etc. Now that I've gotten older, pink is my favorite color, I wear dresses, I like makeup (soft tones). Even as adults, we don't exactly know where we're going through during life.
Yes!!!!! When I was a kid I rejected everything my mother liked based solely on the fact that it was her. She is super pink girly girl traditional wife and I just wasn't that. I grew up, went through my friendless teens and a Emo phase (mom actually helped me dye my hair a gross shade of red) and now I'm 27 and I'm getting married. I love cooking, I wear gowns and dress in pink for conventions because my fiance adores it and it makes me happy. I'm am so thankful for my mom going "it's just a phase" and not saying anything in that area.
I was like that as a kid, but never really grew into girly girl stuff. I still wear mostly men's clothes, keep my hair super short, if I was a lesbian I'd fit the 'butch' stereotype, but I am also happily married to a man, have multiple kids, and am not at all interested in the tacos. Churros all the way for me!
@@RenNightrainseriously true! I flip between dark and light styles. It doesn’t define me. I am not just one way about something. I just change like the seasons. These are called interests. Hobbies. Personality. Attributed. Everything has a million gender labels now it’s outrageous
As a "B" I have always been questioning why the TQ+ has been a part of the community since they were identity and not sexuality.
me when the q in lgbtq+ stands for queer and Queer is an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender
@@LurkingForeverqueer has always been a derogatory description of gays not your definition. 😂
@@LaurenForster Agreed! Queer by definition means strange or odd, so if it remains in the LGBT+ community it should be where the people who express their sexuality due to fetishes and kinks belong.
The Q actually represents both. Queer for identity and Questioning for sexuality.
@@LaurenForster And who the hell is "cisgender"? I don't recognize her.....
As a lesbian I absolutely agree with not wanting to be lumped into the trans community.

Im trans and bisexual and i dont understand why the T is there either honestly trans isnt a sexuality, maybe its because a lot of trans people are gay/bi but idk the ratio
@@nise512 its lumped like that because of oppression, but now lgb have the gained privileges and now have the power to leave the fight against oppression, which is sad
As a straight guy: from my perspective, all the drama is from TQ+. Allowing post-transition into women's sports? Common, I feel really sorry for girls getting crushed by XY's in sports.
In general, most people are very accepting of LGB. An analogy would be, LGB is like the children's hospital, TQ+ are Hamas hiding underneath you.
As a straight man, watching videos like these gives a different perspective on concepts, ideologies and culture that I'm not apart of. It's both refreshing, intriguing and fascinating witnessing how things are in a large community that's "united" but is currently fragmenting. Great video!
As a straight woman. Yup same. It's nice hearing perspectives 😊
there's never been a 'gay' community - there are a 100 different communities out there not just one.
Same. I feel bad for the lgbs. The tq+$82(_) are nuts
Same here I'm Christian and I disagree with pretty much alot of the ideology lol😂. But I like hearing both sides it's interesting
As a hetero, its funny how you gays get the same headache.
We’ve gotten this headache longer than the straights, especially the lesbians who tried to warn everyone in the late 60s what was happening.
Because hs can acknowledge reality. They still understand what men and women are. While also some kind of wire cross just made them attravted to the same sex. And it stays that simple. Thats why they often look and act like normal people.
Exactly lol. Its just so funny how they really sound just like us 😭 its like damn maybe we aint so different after all
As a bisexual guy who prefers women, the amount of times I’ve been told by my TQ+ friends that I’m “basically straight” and not allowed to have any sort of opinion on the topic of LGBT issues is staggering, despite them knowing that I’ve been in a couple of relationships with other men.
I’ve also dated a trans “woman”, and while it seemed fine at the time, looking back at it, the amount of culty stuff she said that creeped me out was crazy. Stuff like “we’d make such a cute lesbian couple” and calling me by the feminine version of my name in public, even when I told her to stop.
I’m absolutely for divorcing the LGBA from the rest of the alphabet, because at the end of the day, as long as we’re affiliated, they’re going to keep dragging us down with them in the public eye.

As a demiromantic trans guy I honestly don't like how many people of the TQ+ community are targeting minors and I'm one myself. But in the other hand, I just wish for people to respect my identity, I know I'll never be a "real" man and I don't want to force any ideology into anyone. All I want is be myself.
You are valid ♥ bless you
Most trans men are quite chill. Whose i mostly have problems with are trans women, because most of them are constantly forcing themselvs on female spaces and demanding people to accept them as a "real woman".

I am a 65 yr old straight woman has had gay friends since HS. i supported the LGB community since the 80's. Now it is hard to support the LGBTQ+ because to me, it has gotten ridiculous. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to live their best lives but don't try to force me to do anything.
💯 Thanks for the support! I'm gay and I fight the community I once was part of, because it has nothing to do with its origins anymore. The LGB community I would support, but not the other insanity. I think we should just forget about these groups in general. I might be gay, but I'm so much more than that. Above all I'm a human being...
The privilege to be so flippant about being gay is astonishing. The same groups you are bashing for being annoying and too much have put blood, sweat and tears so you aren't get kxlled for being yourself. I'm from a muslim country, you transphobes pi$$ me off. @GJS2183
That and it's also become more of a belief system (gender ideology adding the whole idea of infinite genders just because you mix and match stereotype traits in your style, or because of personality traits being unnecessarily stereotyped to a gender).
I hate how LGB and a lot of movements become perverted over time and lose their original meaning.
For me, as long as people don't insist that I'll find "ThE rIgHt PeRsOn FoR mE" I'm cool. I'm actually part of the IA part of the alphabet (aroace) so have no interest in sex with anyone.
When I was younger, I said I wanted to be a boy because I didn't want to go girly things.
Kudos to my mom for letting me play with the toys I wanted too, and supporting my super hero obsession.
As I grew up, I realized that I didn't want to be a boy. I just didn't want to wear dresses, play dolls, or braid hair. To this day, I still hate clothes shopping. My twin is a total girly girl though. 😂
same tbh. I feel like a lot of trans kids would realise this if their parents just let them be who they wanted, and they can figure out their gender when they are adults and their hormones are balanced and minds are more developed
@sapphirewelch7369 I'll always remember asking for a Ninja Turtle Happy Meal after getting back from seeing the 2007 movie with my siblings. My dad screamed in the car "No! You're not a boy!"
My mom shut him down quick and told the stunned drive thru worker that I would like a Mikey Toy. She's the best! I got the action figures I wanted for Christmas and got to rock my superhero shirts and light up shoes.
The only thing my dad accomplished with that was made me think I had to be a boy to like Ninja Turtles.
Same, I thought I want to be a girl because my school kept telling me the things I love are girly.
I’m a tomboy too, though on the spectrum you’re probably a little more butch and I’m probably a little more fluid. My day to day wear is basketball shorts or jeans, but I do like to dress up now and again, and I like to keep my hair longer than a “boy cut.” I always loved braiding my hair, always hated dolls and certain “girly things.” Dresses were touch and go, I hated bright pink and excessive frills but always enjoyed a hippie sun dress or a long black dress haha
I totally appreciate what you’re saying here. While I never personally framed it to myself as “wanting to be a boy” (I knew I wanted to keep my body parts) I always wondered what it would be like to be a shapeshifting magician who could be a boy or girl whenever I want. That is a neat thought spiritually and artistically, but ultimately, I would not want to permanently alter my body and lose the body I have.
I am a woman, biologically. My fit are a little big for a girl but I’m a female. And that doesn’t bother me at all, never has. I’m glad nobody put it in my head as a child that it has to bother me just because I like some sports and some “boy things” and my favorite color is blue and I like cozy clothes 😂
I think children should just be allowed to be children and only decide if they want to change genders when they become adults, and that even adults should probably go more the haircuts and clothes route rather than surgical alteration because there’s a lot of evidence it doesn’t actually help and has all sorts of side effects.
I feel like there should be two main sexes, and that “intersex” (hermaphrodite) should be recognized as a 3rd rare but valid category for people to prevent childhood genital operations and HRT on intersex children and let them choose if they’re male or female or still a hermaphrodite when they become adults. I believe nobody, whether a hermaphrodite or a boy or girl, should be forced to have medical interventions as a child. (Intersex interventions don’t cure infertility or other issues, they’re purely cosmetic and social, just like trans procedures).
I think we need to culturally steer away from seeing transgender as a medical or mental health issue (body dysmorphia impacts everyone, women who have eating disorders, men who take performance enhancers, to this current transgender phenomenon) and understand that self harm would go down with less bullying of butch girls and flamboyant or effeminate boys, and less indoctrination. I think we need to go back to seeing transgender as a spiritual or aesthetic phenomenon, something that people do either for aesthetic expression or because they align more spiritually and personality wise with feminine or masculine personality and want to match their expression to their interior. Drag queens and butch women have been relentlessly bullied throughout history, so instead of accepting their body and personality combo, they want to go to a doctor to “fix” it now. Except that doesn’t fix the real problem. These androgynous or cross-dressing groups were never a problem to begin with, we just made it a problem for a long time. Now that it’s no longer a problem to a lot of people, it’s like the people who are still stuck in the trauma or with a bigoted environment go searching for a medical solution. This can’t be solved that way.
as a (kind of) Tom boy, only time I like clothes shopping is if it’s at hot topic wink wink
I'm a straight man with a couple of gay friends, and all of us agree that the TQ+ community targeting young innocent children in schools is absolutely horrid.

Adults pushing kids in my gen (late gen z) and gen alpha to be trans is the reason why I got so confused and transitioned a few years ago. I detransitioned after my depression and anxiety got to an extreme high because I was being told by adults, and trying to convince myself I was trans when I wasn't. It's so wrong to tell kids theyre trans just because they like "boys" activites and have more male then female friends.
Thank you for sharing your journey with regard to this topic. I'm glad you are waking up to the lies (even if the adults meant well) that are being told. Keep staying strong 💪🏻🫡
I am truely sorry for your suffering.

I once got told on Twitter that I had to "pick a side" when I came out as bi. When I reminded that person (a trans femme btw) what the "B" in LBGT stood for, they told me "you don't count" and that I should stop trying to seek attention. How fucking ironic.
@@GJS2183I don't get that particular group. Palestine would not be friendly to them at all.
I hate pushing the sex/gender stuff in schools, especially elementary and middle school ages. Just let kids be kids please. Figuring these things as an adult is tough enough, how is a kid supposed to know?
From what I've seen, recruitment reasons. A bunch of different groups shove stuff like this in the faces of children because it's a lot easier convincing a kid with no pre-determined ideals that your opinion, belief, or way of living is the correct way, rather than convincing an adult who most likely already has set opinions on topics like this.
I do think it has to be talked about in school. Not meaning telling a boy he can be a girl, but kids should know their are people who are trans. Or that their are kids with maybe 2 mothers and 2 fathers, but it should only be done in a short workshop or something not every week.
@@chaoticevilduck8922 It shoudnt be about wheter its right or wrong. Kids should know things like this exist, but it shoudnt be brought up every week, or be a regular topic. It should also not be brought as "You as a boy can become a girl" but I do think it has to be aknowledged.
The number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, gender nonconforming (tomboys and effeminate boys), and autistic people who have said they would have thought they were trans if they grew up in today's time is concerning. I myself questioned my own identity when I was younger just because I felt insecure about not being feminine enough. Imagine having activists in your ear constantly pushing you further instead of giving you proper space.
@@pixelcode6595it’s dress-up. Period. If you were born a female, then your genetic code is female. Because you shaved your head and went to the doctor and got Test injected and micro needling to grow a beard, guess what. You are still a woman. Some people accept just throwing on a wig and make up and calling themselves the opposite gender is okay…ITS NOT! And these are the same people that are breaching genetic privacy, such as going into gender specific locker rooms and gender specific (FOR A REASON THATS WHY WE HAVE THEM) male and female bathrooms. It’s just not right and my head will never understand why we must have a community that wants the whole world to accept it! Jonathan, an individual that “turned” into a woman doesn’t have Menstruation, an actual woman does and that’s a slap in the face for the actual born and raises women that go through that hell on a monthly basis!
While this isn't about asexuals, I do want to mention this as i think it may important. Meanwhile, asexuals are just slowly becoming our own community, because people in and out of the queer community pushed us out of conversations and the overall meaning of being "queer." It's gotten to the point where we've been silently forgotten. LGBA? The A is for who, again? QIA+? Depending on who you talk to, the A is for Ally, because asexuals are on thin-frikin-ice. We didn't ask for this, we surely support everyone, but sadly we got shadow banned jsut being ourselves.
Idk why- maybe it's because we lost the struggle competition, or that there's no way to act or be visually "asexual," or that it's "boring" to be ace and we ruin the fun for those who want to get lusty, or since we're simply not the loudest party.
There's quite a lot to learn from asexuality, but we don't (for the most part) force asexuality on others. Sure, it could get complex as 'asexual' is an umbrella term, but you don't HAVE to engage in the in-depth aspect if you don't want to.
I think the explanation is that asexuality is not important or interesting to people who enjoy having sex. Which is the overwhelming majority.
Mr. Amir, my 15yo son showed me your videos. Since then, I've watched you. I am subscribed and I truly appreciate what you say.
I’ve started seeing the TQ+ like that one friend that’s destroying their life and yours by proxy (and won’t take help to fix it). The healthiest thing to do in that case is to leave, then come back when they’re ready to listen. The TQ plus just needs to grow up, since they don’t even see their own destruction. Then, they can come back

Amir… I freaking love your channel! I am a conservative, Bible believing , Jesus loving Christian. When I became a father, I started actually adulting. Before that I never really cared a whole lot about politics, social issues, finances, and so on… But, as my kids are getting older and I think about the future world they are coming in to, and the things I’m seeing in our community here now, I’ve started to become much more involved in what’s going on. Being able to pick through all the different beliefs, through the deceit, through chaos and confusion that has been growing in our country and the world at large has been quite difficult for me. It has seriously challenged some of my own beliefs, of course, and solidified others. But, I have to say that your channel has been a great help to me in understanding some issues, especially recent political ones, that I have had a hard time in finding truth and understanding. I love the way you present things and you are a pleasure to watch!
I believe we are in a spiritual battle. I believe that as we move further away from what God has revealed to us in scripture, the further our hearts are darkened. My heart aches for the people who are being swept away by these ideologies that have been created by people who care nothing for the people that they affect. I was swept away ( unrelated to the topic of this video) when I was young and Jesus was the only one that restored me to sanity. Trust me I tried everything else. So, I continue to put my trust in Him, and for anyone who may be reading this, I implore you to do the same. People may let you down, but He will not. Jesus calls us to love God, love our neighbor, and to pray for our enemies. If the TQI+ community is claiming love, but exercising hate on the LGB community and children, I ask that we pray for them instead of hate back, and fight for what’s right, and good, and true.
Recently, my company had sent out a company wide email inviting any who wishes, to help volunteer in the local Pride Parade. I asked one of my gay coworkers about his thoughts on the current Pride movement, and his sentiments were pretty much spot on to what you’ve outlined here! He told me that he wouldn’t be able to be here in this country, together with his husband, if same-sex marriage had not been advocated for by the “original” Pride movement. We both came to the conclusion that the movement has diverted from its original intent.
It is my understanding that, “sex” must be considered an immutable attribute in order to be considered a civil right, thus making same-sex marriage a civil right. But, if half of the Alphabet Community is advocating that sex is fluid and not immutable, then they are counter to same-sex marriage, and all of the rights that go with it. While I believe “marriage”, as we know it now, is a Judeo-Christian institution between a man and a woman, I do believe that it goes against the American Constitution, to deny a couple their rights to the pursuit of happiness, because sex IS immutable and grounded in reality, regardless of orientation, and to deny these rights goes against the American dream. To have a healthy lifelong relationship, you need to be able to share property, finances, family visitation rights, taxes and so on! I am glad that my coworker is here in America with his loved one, even though I may not agree with some of his choices.
Keep fighting the good fight Amir, and I pray for the success of what’s good, true, and beautiful for our country ❤

The funny thing is that pink used to be considered the boys' color while blue was the girls' till about the WW2. Cause it is a "milder version" or red which was traditionally men's color. So basically the color division is just a cultural perception of adults children have zero bias towards colors.

I thought it was cause pink was more expensive? I did know it used to be reversed but the reasoning I thought was because red/pink was a harder pigment to get and more expensive. But I might be way off either way it’s still a fun fact that pink used to be boys color.
Edit: I think I’m mixing it up with the color purple from way back. That was very expensive so it was reserved for royals and the high class or aristocrats.
@@stellamariss3335 yeah, I think it's about purple. Pink is not that difficult to get from natural sources.
Oh so that explains the obsession of pink mustangs and cloths and such.
What we're seeing is Floodgateism. In that; when you open the floodgates, it's extremely hard to shut them again when you have thousands of gallons of water rushing through it.
The same is for ideology; when you open your community to multiple ideologies and groups of people, it's like you're opening the floodgates for all these different, and sometimes conflicting ideas, and it's very difficult to close these Floodgates again when you have thousands of voices loudly expressing how everyone in this community should act.
And what you started with might have been one thing, but now it's full of different ideas, some of which being at odds with each other, you start to find that what you had to begin with has started to change and lose its original identity.
Which is ironic, seeming as it's literally identity, which is the core issue here.
I like that term, Floodgateism. And you can see this when predators (calling themselves MAPs for Minor Attracted Person) tried to leech onto it.
And now we have LGBT groups literally openly supporting radical Islamic groups who have put thousands of members of the LGBT community to death over the years, and would do the same to them if they had the chance.
Gender identify never made much sense to me. It has been established that clothing and colors and style are not gendered. Hell, my husband's fave house shirt is a Bowie crop top we found at target. We are a straight couple. You can dress androgynous and be a woman or man. You can wear dirty work overalls and wear makeup and paint your nails. You can wear a skirt and be a man without it meaning anything.
To me, it screams "i have 0 confidence in myself as a person and i need this identity to justify my existence". It's depressing.
This! I was talking with my husband about how a lot of this just used to be considered androgyny and people didn’t even want labels. We just wanted to be who we are and not have to explain. Now, it’s like their entire existence depends on them explaining and being validated for their choices. The upside down.
When I wore make-up and androgynous clothing, it was simply called Goth or alternative.
Most of us didn't care for labels anyway. I still don't.
@@vibrantchill7212 if I can wear women's clothes without it being an issue, then why can't I be called she/her without it being an issue? What we consider a man vs a woman are all socially constructed including what we call them. If I prefer to be called a woman, I see no reason why you should take issue with it.
I even used to think the same as you until I realized I was just repressing my trans feelings.
@@MythicalPhoebe Well, yes, but then you just start adhering to gender stereotypes. Boys/men like/do this, Girls/women like/do that, when in reality, we're different.
@@Kitsunekone I can see why you'd think that, but I think it's a bit of a misconception. I am my own person with my own interests, and not all of them fall in line with the gender norms.
However, I do want to have a more feminine appearance and being referred to as she/her feels more comfortable to me. Everyone is going to be different though, and I totally respect that.
In all honesty, I used to be a pretty big transphobe myself and before I accepted I was trans, my take was very similar to the original commentor
I'm gay and I don't rock with those people. A woman will never know what it's like to be a man and a man will never know what it's like to be a woman. Period
@ you’re your own thing. There’s nothing wrong with being trans. It’s when you guys demand for us to call you things that you aren’t is where the problem stems from.
@@user-jp4cj3ds7p i feel you but what about if i pass. i dont have to force anyone to use my pronouns, they look at me and know them. but i am naturally female, i recognize and understand that. but i live as a man and everyone around me recognizes me as one. is that me still forcing onto people?
@FreshMadeRugs no, that isn't you forcing anything. I haven't thought about that side of the argument before. I guess That's the same type of luck straight passing gays have as well.
@@user-jp4cj3ds7p its a double edged sword 😭 i hear so much anti trans conversation because of the ones who are trans for social media and just want to prove a point, and i have to reap the consequences. like all the restroom issues, i am female but i bet if i walked into a woman restroom i know someone would want to call the police on me. they never acknowledge us who just to exist in peace

I noticed this change back in 2016. Brilliant episode, Amir.
The autism community is also separate from the TQ+'s. Disabled autistic man here, I think that whole thing is beyond belief, how they think that necause we have autism we need to be included in that. We dont want fake pity. We want the people around us, those we let in to our lives, to understand us. We dont care if someone who doesnt know us doesnt get it. Thats not inclusion. Thats understanding.
It’s annoying how they are trying to lump everyone else with them.
Can’t they sink alone themselves like the "courageous warriors" they are?
None else want to do anything with them.
It's not just TQIA, it's TQIA+MAP, always add the +MAP. They need to own it; it's the truth behind their goals so drag it out of the darkness, from behind the curtains and bring it to the light of day for all to see.
I've started just not telling job applications I have autism and ADHD (and a couple other things that I can't remember how to spell) so I'm not lumped in with them. Luckily, unless I work in a government position, I don't need to disclose that information.
@@wellome1Unless you need accommodations, why would you have to disclose anything?
@@LordMaskinYes. That MAP should absolutely be remembered.
So glad you covered this. I was called trans phobic because I didn’t want to include TQ+ in the “LGB” community. It shouldn’t be controversial to say they should be separate. I’m glad someone’s finally talking about it.
He's not alone, but we've been outshouted since we started
Why would someone think that opposing trans rights is transphobic? Insane
You are free to join the LGB alliance, but the LGBTQ community (the original alliance) will continue to exist and remain the majority.
I'm starting to think the same thing so you're not alone in that. We're all so tired of this lunacy
Gays: we like long johns. Straights: we like donuts. Bi’s: we like both.
I'm a straight man with a ton of hay friends and we sometimes talk about these subjects, most of them just want to live a normal life and not be pushed by these ideologies.
I randomly came on your channel. Binged 15 videos. Really love your stuff. Thank you for your videos!
same! amir is producing really great, high quality informative content.
First time I’ve caught you live!! So excited
Omg me too!! I just opened RUclips and his video appeared, funny lmao
Not really live but just a video that he created that is premiering.
It feels surreal, was watching this channel before it hit 50k subs, now it’s at 400k+. Congrats!
Same 😊 and I hope it keeps growing
The fucking cricket news segment combined with your reaction had me in TEARS
The LGB/T+ beef almost reminds me of the religious/gay beefs that were prevalent 30+ years ago with the 'I'm valid'/'no you're just confused' messages.
@@BrieCracker exactly this. Trans people are basically fighting the same fight for acceptance that gay people had to fight just a few short decades ago, and it's sad that the "LGB without the T" people can't realize that. They are letting history repeat itself just so they can try to "fit in" with people that hate the entire LGBT.
This is why people say things like “I didn’t leave the left, they left me”
The left abandoned me back in 2018 or so. It became too much when I was beginning to hear "oh now transmen are men and transwomen are women". I'm not buying into that bullshit. And non-binaries denying their sex entirely. I was cool with trans people until NB became more prevalent. NB makes no sense, when they're trying to get rid of gender stereotypes now it's "I'm neither".
I hope a lot of them leave before Tuesday 😉
@@TotallyLegitNews oh yeah the "left" let you down because trans people exist and actively participate in this community and you're confused or God forbid annoyed. I'll try to feel bad for you guys 😭😭
@ I truly feel bad for people like you, being gaslight by your doctors for money in such permanent and damaging things is such a terrible thing to happen to a person.
@EpoxyOrDeath quite the assumption. You people done making shit up yet or no? Living with someone who is trans, it is extremely hard for even an adult to get access to gender affirming care, and no doctor on the fucking planet is bringing it up unprompted. Whatever fantasy world you're living in (the internet, as anybody who actually knows trans people and is active in the community knows from real experience that none of this is even close to true) doesn't actually exist irl. You are haunting yourself with demons that aren't real and it's sad.
I NEVER understood what T was included in LGB!! Great video, Amir!
it don't make no sense fr
Maybe it would make sense if it was trans women who are attracted to men or trans men attracted to women. They are technically gay. But someone who is trans and is attracted to the opposite of their own biological sex? When you think about it it really doesn't make sense. I never thought about it until some people started pointing it out. There would be a lot who would consider it transphobic. But then again what isn't called transphobic these days?
@@_Eisley Honey, the math ain't mathing
Its really sad that its gotten to the point that y'all feel THE NEED to separate but i get it. Allowing trans people to have equal rights and equal access is great, but they've been crossing boundaries and people are tired of being yelled at for not liking it. i get why you'd want to step back.
As a lesbian, i love my trans friends, i don’t mind them at all. However i’m really disappointed with the media telling me exactly what my high school bullies use to tell me. "You only like women because you’re a virgin" "you’re not a lesbian if you never slept with a men (to test out)". Like I said I love trans people, but no one will force me to be attracted to them and forcing me to go against my sexuality.
Well One The missions of the "t×ansgenderism" ideology. is to completely remove sexual attraction from the equation. Because sexuality needs to he fluid in order of their narrative to flourish. So It really doesn't matter if you love them. This is what they represent in the bigger scheme of thing's. Its like You're supporting your own demise. Because soon you'll be just another hateful bigot. Your lesbian card ain't going to help you against this ideology.
I dont love them. I think they sexually harrass lesbians and have absolutely no boundries. They hijacked the gay community. A complete disrespect of gay men and women
It's almost like those who have a fetish for missing limbs. It's not for me, but if you want, do what you want. Just please don't expect me to find it hot.
As an asexual virgin, I wonder what they'd tell me. "You wouldn't be asexual if you had sex"? There's a video on RUclips that addresses that, that borderlines are attracted to schizoids, thinking that if they show schizoids "the magic of sex", the schizoid will become normal, but it never works out. It reminds me of teachers throughout school telling me that I should "make friends" and the professors and faculty in college trying to "get me out of my shell", which the NIH wisely says not to do to a schizoid, but in all fairness, I didn't even know I was a schizoid or that that was even a thing until I quit college and went to a psychiatrist, hoping to recover from the chronic depression and suicidal ideation I experienced throughout college. Still, you'd think that someone there would have realized that I'm a schizoid and that what they were doing to me was harming me.
hi im trans/bi and agree, i think its crazy how this has gone full circle, first gay people fight off straight people trying to force them to be straight and now we have trans people shaming you if you aren't interested in their biological sex, really sorry if someone tried to do that to you.
The "slippery slope" never would have happened if the TQ+ weren't around. The LGB just wanted to be married.
Bs could always get married.
I’m a new listener. Thank you for having a common sense approach to this issue because I have long felt this same way as a gay man.
same goes for me and im trans
also love your doggy he's super cute i just had to comment 🫶
i think people are doing too much with this trans thing, toying with it a lot and calling us "women" no we're not women, we're trans, I can't stop writing it so people get it but all i get is attacks 😭
@@-PiNKSYRUP you have a brave opinion and should speak out as much as you can. Thank you for the comment. I believe everyone should be who they want to be and live how they want as long as they do not step on the rights of others in the process.
yeah im trans and it honestly makes no sense why the T is there, only reason i can think is because maybe a lot of trans people are gay or bi?
@@nise512well there are some who "get off" on dressing like the opposite sex and "get off" on demeaning and making women uncomfortable but that isn't gender dysphoria and shouldn't be considered acceptable in anyway.
OMG! This guy’s video (at the beginning) is nailing it!! I am a “normal” gay man who has no interest in the T+ grouping and tired of their bs. I am not a “flaming”gay man, nor ever felt I needed to be. I just am myself and as a result I felt even more isolated because I didn’t act or behave a certain way. Honestly, those on the T+ need to go form their own entity.
Lumping people with different sexual preference and different gender identities is like lumping vegetables and meat into the same category
"Stew ingredients" lmao
My cousin works for that new Amazon grocery store. They call that a paleo section. No lie.
Its also dehumanizing and overly simplistic. Then again, that's the only way they know how to operate.
Food????
In the end it is the same as combining the B's with the L-G's or the L's with the G's, at the end of the day they all have different needs.

keep going Amir we need you out here
I’m friends with two gay couples. If you didn’t know them you’d never know that they are gay. All four are great guys, happy in their relationship, hard working and friendly to everyone.
Ive been saying this for the last 6 years. Glad to see people are finally catching on.
It never made sense for people who say “I’m attracted to the same sex” to be lumped together with people who say “I identify with another sex and this has nothing to do with attraction”. Those are two different things
yeah im trans and ive been wondering it my whole life honestly
I am a member of the LBG alliance. Hate how we are portrayed as haters. We want to preserve our rights. Why is that bad? Byvgge way,i am jewish and gay! 😊😊
Not jewish (at least not officially), but I have dozens of gay friends in Israel, the most amazing people you can imagine. When I saw the first "Queers for Palestine" sign I immediately left the Alphabet Mafia. Chickens for KFC! 🤦🏼♂️
Is byvgge an acronym or a typo?
@Michael_Pepin just a keyborad misstake. By the way
I stand with y'all, LGB should have their own space.
@Zipperskull_ thank you. Much appreciated.
I’m bisexual and I was fine with the LGBTQ until about a year or two ago. LGB is love. TQ is gender identity. Full stop.
Also, it’s gone from LGBT, to LGBTQIA+ since I came out. It’s hard to keep up nowadays
No. Just let people love and dress how the want.
@@normanicole4714 sorry i dont really understand could you clarify what you are saying no to?
@buisnessbandit it's not hard to keep up. Just be kind and you know all you need.
I don’t mind the extended acronym, but the Q and + in LGBTQ+ stands for everything else anyway, so why add more letters
@SverigeDjur you don't have to. I don't. Some people do. whatever. It's no thing at all. There's lots of people in the world. They have different opinions.
The LGB are very different to the TQ+ and I’m fed up being lumped in with the TQ.
I appreciate your frustration, Amir.
It is getting very tiring to see the insanity, and the voices of reason seemed silent for many years.
Keep fighting the good fight to bring reason to the discussions.
It's pretty simple, nobody in the Gay Community has EVER asked me to deny scientific principles and ignore fundamental reality. Any differences of opinion are political, religious or philosophical. That is acceptable, as we can universally expect to have differences on those grounds. But asking me to deny reality is a non-starter. This is the "Emperor's New Clothes" in real life, and I'll be damned if I pretend that idot is wearing clothes.
Also, LOL at "churros not tacos". That's brilliant.
The irony, because science was (& is in some countries) used to discredit homosexuality and therefore discriminate & persecute.
Gray is anti scientific principles.
This is the fundamental difference to me as well. I'm straight, but I can interact with gay people normally and am not asked to alter the definitions of words or otherwise say something I know isn't true.
@robertfarrell6757 there is a consensus in the science/research field about transgenderism. Just because you dont understand something doesn't mean its not real. I don't understand heterosexuality, but its still real.
@@laylah150 No there isn't. EVERY scientist who supports it as an activist. Full stop.
There is NO WAY to objectively confirm any variable. If you ask a person what sex they are, you can disagree with their answer and they can provide OBJECTIVE evidence to support their case.
If you ask a person their gender, you can disagree with their answer and there is not one single piece of OBJECTIVE evidence that they can provide. In fact, the advocates themselves are constantly pointing out that there is no objective evidence. If there was, then there would have to be such a thing as male and female characteristics, behaviors, etc/ regarding gender, which is the exact opposite of the their claims. They openly flaunt how unscientific it is at every opportunity.
The entire concept of gender is and transgenderism is inherently immune to the scientific method. That should have been your first clue.
You have been duped by self-serving pseudo-science. Go back to the drawing board buckaroo.
I'm not gay myself, but I grew up in the community. My mom is gay, some of my best life mentors are gay, i've had dozens of gay friends throughout my life, and I've always stood by the side of let all people have the same rights across the board. I can't bring myself to agree with what the TQ+ are trying to push. I've tried.
I've tried to view it from a point of understanding. I've tried to view it from the point that I might be wrong, but I simply cannot bring myself to agree with a lot of what they stand for. Mind you, if an adult has put in the proper effort; going to doctors, going to therapists, thinking introspectively, and have come out on the other side of it believing they exist in the wrong body, while I can disagree with it from my own viewpoint, (assuming they're otherwise good person) I'm not going to treat that person any differently than I would anybody else. My issue comes majorly from the people who hide behind the shield of "trans rights and phobias" to defend stances that affect children and the overall good of society. My issue comes from the stances the community takes on pushing their ideologies on impressionable and confused children and teenagers. My issue comes from the people who will call you phobic for disagreeing that children shouldn't be allowed to make decisions about their bodies before they can even legally vote. But most of all, my issues lie with the people who support these people by defending their actions under the veil of 'trans rights'.
Nobody is telling you that you can't make these decisions as an adult. Nobody is saying that you can't live your life. Stop forcing us to use language that you make up on the spot one day. Stop putting books about your ideas into schools where children are already confused about what's expected of them as sexual partners. It's disgusting, and only serves to harm whatever positive moral compass you may still hold the right to.
Totally agree with you. Love your videos! Thanks for making these videos. So glad I found your page
Why is this even a question? (commenting before watching) I'm same sex attracted, and I never understood why people seem to think that has anything to do with "trans"
Because the group sadly became LGBT and then LGBTQ+ etc etc. This is why I advocate for the LGB to drop the T like the dead weight they are
Because it started as.. LGB… then LGBT.. then LGBTQ+… now we have gotten to LGBTQ+2S… it’s all assumed they are part of the same agenda.. which yes is a bad assumption but majority of LGB supporters don’t think this way… it’s the same way with libs thinking if your black your a democrat… it’s a bad assumption but sadly the people aren’t proving us wrong.
Saying “same sex attracted” sounds exactly like something a transperson would say.
@@SharpBalisong lolwut? no. In fact, trans activists find that offensive and "transphobic"
@@SharpBalisong But I can say gay if that makes you feel better
I love your take on this topic.
I hate the term Lesboy that surfaced on tiktok, YOU CANT BE A LESBIAN IF YOUR BIOLOGICAL A BOY!! We've gotten so delusional to the point where we don't even know what these terms even mean anymore. It urks me so bad and everyone is praising acceptance for everything, some things don't need to be accepted especially if it's inherently incorrect.
Millennials are terrible at grammar and vocabulary and Z are borderline illiterate. Yet both groups defend their inability to speak and write correctly through this high attitude, low IQ position that says, “tHInGs cHaNge.”
This was done on purpose, it’s all part of a social experiment to redefine everything as socially determined and re-definable at will so they can redefine what it means to be a person.
The praise for killing the meaning of these terms is headache inducing
You're only a lesbian if you like women and that means biological women! I'm not even transphobic, I like trans people a lot but I'm sick of lesbians being labelled as transphobes because they want biological females and not trans"women"
Literally 1984, like seriously. It's literally doublespeak.
TQ+ will never allow themselves to be disowned by LGB. Nor will TQ+ ever allow the pride flag to no longer be associated with them. LGB needs to abandon the flag (and don’t make a new one, TQ+ will just appropriate it) and disown TQ+ publicly. Let TQ+ stand and fall on their own and LGB just look out for each other the way all other people do within their own social groups organically
That flag shouldn't be honored anyway so it should be easy to abandon it seeing as who designed it in the first place...... Lets say that guy was creepy in every sense of the word.
It’s always “I support your opinions no matter if I don’t agree!” Until I don’t support ‘lesboys’ or other shit like that

As a Bisexual, i’ve been trying to get this across to the “Pansexuals”. i literally got called a b!-f4g by a pansexual in return. They still aren’t ready for this convo tbh
@azeldafan4578 I don't get the whole pansexual thing. I love fantasy books and read a series years ago that had pansexuals in it but it meant they were agreeable to sex with other species (meaning werewolf, were panther and so forth). So the first time a person told me they were pansexual, I was totally in shock and trying to figure out how that worked in real life. 🤣 I am not making fun of pansexuality, just haven't heard a good definition of what it actually means.
@@charliefarrar7149I tried understanding it too, but after a while it became clear that it's basically just bisexuality with extra steps and denial of reality
I’m Bi, my 18 year old daughter is bi and a lot of her friends identify as Trans or some other letter of the extended alphabet. I got lectured by these children on how discriminating it was for me to call myself bi… then I laid some wisdom on them and even though they haven’t changed at least they are able to see and understand what it is for someone to call themselves bi and that we aren’t evil.
im 16 and only recently did i really finish my "journey" of understanding my sexuality and one of the things that made it really hard to actually get to the point where im happy with my state is pansexuality its in practice the exact same as bisexuality but people telling me about it did everything to try and get me to think im pan and not bi one of the ways they did this was what in my opinion amounted to villainising bisexual people they would claim that pan people "cared more about emotions" basically saying that a bisexual person doesnt care about the person who they are with they just want sex i now realise that was just a complete lie they are literally the exact same thing pan is just saying "hey guys look at me i like non-binary people aswell" (im bisexual btw and have no problems dating non-binary people who are actually chill and understanding)
I'm a bi woman and had a "nonbinary" roommate that was also bisexual. Yeeeeaaaaa that wasn't enough to make us get along 😂 literally screamed at me on multiple occasions but I could never get down with this stuff, sorry
So this is my first time watching Amir's content and the title was intriguing so I thought I'd check it out. I don't identify with anything inside the LGBTQ+ community but I've definitely felt that in recent years the back half of those letters has become an anchor for the front half. Their actions are painting the gay and bisexual community in a bad light and it's very unfortunate that they've all been lumped in together. I know we all like to hear validation of our opinions but it was nice to finally see someone from the community echo my thoughts. I can't even pretend to understand the experiences of a non-straight, non-gender confused individual but to hear that just from observation I've come to the correct conclusion, I certainly feel more connected with the LGB community than ever. Also, the way Amir delivered the news and his little quips were making me laugh the whole time. Especially the taco/churro analogy. Top-tier comedy man, keep up the good work.
I recommend checking out Blaire White too. I think you’d appreciate her as I do. I don’t always agree with her all the time (I’m not sure I believe transgender has to be a medical experience, rather than just what we had for thousands of years with drag queens having their own lane, and I think body dysmorphia is a modern phenomenon the same way eating disorders in women are)… but I appreciate her takes on protecting children from unnecessary operations, how bottom surgery is dangerous, and how she believes that children should be protected from groomers, whether they’re LGBT or straight groomers.
Support for gay marriage has been dropping in recent years. I blame the push back on the trans community
its all the way around in my country, gay marriage got approved and they're more accepted but trans people like me still fear being assaulted and killed
A group of guys used to meet up on Saturday afternoon to run some ball. One fella named Sam was part of the guys that played. We hung out about 3 years and one Saturday he said he was getting married. Said he was marrying a guy named Phil. Everybody said wow man that's cool congratulations and then we started playing. Funny thing is, nobody knew he was gay and nobody cared because we knew Sam was a good guy. No moral to the story just a story.
Love this story! 💖
That’s the normalization that we want. Not gay lover. Not gay relationship. Just a relationship. I love this for him!
Or that IS the moral of the story.
See, this is exactly the type of story which affirms my belief the LGBTQ group shouldn't exist. Not out of hate, but to stop the weird separation and tribalism that society is doing. Just live your life, as yourself. As best as you can.
I'm not gay, but have a Gay brother, a Bi sister & have been friends with their dates or multiple other Trans, too (I am in the 30s). I agree & have actual LGB friends & family members who also agree. Not bein' 1, I doubt my words mean much, but my actual LGB family members will agree with you, as well. Keep up the great videos, btw. I'm glad you were recommended to me long ago. Your videos are awesome. I just don't comment for 1) When I comment on videos, it always starts an argument & Idk why & 2) I'm not 1 of you no matter how much I agree, so... I don't feel like my comments have much impact than others like my brother, sister or LGB family members.
Honestly, I turn off comment notifs so if there is an argument, I won't see it unless I happen to go back to the vid. I think half of my comments would start a fight as well simply because
1. Words and me aren't friends (thanks, autism)
2. I may have a hot take
Not just here, but in a lot of vids.
I think your say means just as much as others' if it helps. I'm not gay or trans (I'm part of the A as an aroace) but I still feel like yes, some things are super outta hand amongst the communities. I also have gay / trans friends and would fight for them as much as I would my straight / biological gender friends, as well as myself.
Basically, don't let your own orientation make you sound any "less" than someone who's in the community. I know these effect straight folks as well.
Please don't worry about the people that demand 100% adherence to their views or you're apparently Hitler. F that noise, say what you want, odds are someone is glad to read it!
as a bi man i love when straight people get into the conversation they bring a unique perspective that can actually be helpful in these conversations please do get involved more often your insights are more valued than some people will make you think

Hello there internet grandma! I am a Christian as well (albeit a teenager), and I do share the same sentiments with this same modern ridiculousness. Also, as @The_Genuine_Gunner said, grandmas are awesome. 😎
You don’t agree with his lifestyle? Would you rather him pretend to be straight and marry a woman that he doesn’t even like?
some lifestyles are not a choice but I understand your heart is in the right place
@@JohnSmith-rv6nf so apparently ppl just can't disagree on anything anymore?
Killin it every day, brother man. Keep it up! Love your work.
I've said for YEARS that it should go back to LGB and the Rest of the Letters should be something else entirely.
As an Asexual, I never even knew why we were included to begin with. Especially after we got demoted to the "+" when we existed before the "TQ" not important enough I guess lmao
PREACH AMIR!! 🎉❤❤ Much love and appreciation from me and my wife (we are lesbians) we agree with you and love your videos it’s so nice to listen to and know other people in the LGB community agree with how we feel!
I like the pause and static video effect. 90s TV antenna Nostalgia triggered 😊
KAMALA YOURE FIRED
As a straight on the outside looking in (that felt weird to type), the reason the groups are clumped together because
A. Gays integrated society into accepting them and the activist groups starting running dry and needed something to advocate for.
B. Trans/queers wanted to graft onto the success of the gay community to bypass/hide behind criticism exclusive to them and/or the bad actors.
I see it differently. Trans people were there from the beginning, though in smaller numbers and less known of then versus now. It was around the time that being anti-gay marriage wasn't driving people to the polls anymore that trans people entered into the right's political spotlight as the "newest form of degeneracy" to go after.
Also, back when queer folk were being oppressed by Nazis and the like, they made no distinction between one type of "queerness" and the other. It was all the same to them. The trans people were in the background of the gay rights movement the whole time. And now the gays are willing to abandon their trans allies the moment they obtained the slightest hint of acceptance from society. As if they're suddenly elavated above them, when they were in the same situation before.
Everything that's being said now of trans people was said of gays before.
