hi all! thank you for correcting me on Imane Khelif not having a DSD. that was the information I found when doing research, but it seems that bias/propaganda still somehow influenced what should have been a trustworthy source (BBC, maybe that was my mistake). I apologize for spreading any misinformation. ❤
Yeah unfortunately the BBC have been getting steadily more, right leaning (the alternative variety) over the last several decades. In addition to having quite an evident anti T and I bias, they are also pretty big supporters, defenders and apologists of Rowling and her ilk.
And despite that, the right still yells continually about the BBC being “woke” and having “left-wing bias” - because they know this leads the BBC to lean more to the right, to be “neutral”
the BBC has been pushing an anti-trans agenda, as have many mainstream publications like the NYT, it is hard to even know what is a reliable source now
I've played coed sports all the time! My martial arts dojo was coed, and in gym i played basketball coed too. Didn't know I could've milked it for money by sandbagging and being a sore loser!
you guys are so sick. a fully developed man spiking a ball with male strength is terrifying. i played volleyball and we would watch the boys play, absolutely shocked. our varsity girls team wasn’t as good as the jv team. it’s not milking. a man spiked a ball in her face.
These people have demanded trans people be banned from: Darts, snooker, fishing, chess, professional wrestling, spicy-food tolerance and *literal stand up comedy* It's beyond parody at this point.
No pronouns for anyone! But also we have to obsess about the essential and mutually exclusive nature of the TWOOOOO genders!! They can’t make up Their minds.
I'm a guy, and when was in high school, a girl once lobbed a volleyball so hard into my face that it knocked me down and gave me a bloody nose. It doesn't really matter who hits it, a ball with enough speed is gonna hurt. You'd think a "professional" athlete would realise that
I've watched semi- and professional women play volleyball. They don't fuck around on that court. If they see an opportunity for a spike to get a point they're going to smash that ball into mach 3 to get it. I've seen women hit balls so hard that it made me scared to think about what it would feel like if they punched me in the head. I remember watching Simone Biles do a routine and every time her legs slammed down on the beam I physically flinched. I was like, "this woman would kick my head clean off my shoulders and go on with her day like nothing happened..."
I had a guy kick a soccer ball as hard as he could into my chest when my girls team was playing a boys team. I went for his ankles like a hungry beagle with my cleats, succeeding several times to dump him in the mud and scored on him once. I had a bruise for a few weeks. One of my many fun stories playing rough with biological males. My trans woman ex can’t even beat me at disc golf anymore. I hate all the snowflake bigots that kill the fun.
I mean... looking at it from a physical stand point, volleyball is very technical compared to just throwing a ball. One uses the elasticity of the ball skin and the leverage of the arm to make the ball go really quick. If you don't know any technique, you can be steering as shit, the call will not fly. And when the outcome is mostly determined by technique... it's a less one-gendered outcome. Personally, i think that women athletes could take the harsh shots from men better if they're used to it. Too many Women are forced to endure pain when they're on they're period and pretend it's nothing. Can't tell me, they cannot take a hard shot when their skin is trained. It's the same when you start volleyball, your arms will be tender, but it gets better
you think male strength isn’t more damaging than female strength? have you ever played volleyball for a school team and see the difference between boys and girls playing?
Gen X'er here, I am glad that you advised everyone to read up on the Reagan era. People (even liberals) like to make him sound better in hindsight (I guess the passing of time does that), but he was just as bad as Trump. We survived his administration (and in some ways, became stronger) and we will persevere through this one. I love the quote about being the ulcer in the belly of the best. I'm definitely using that one.
you may have survived his administration, but hundreds of thousands of queer people who contracted aids did not. they didn’t have the luxury of waiting out a facist administration that didn’t give a shit if they lived or died
@@aplatin3094 I've honestly been wondering if marginalized people in the mid '80s went through what we're going through when that old fossil got reelected. I'm guessing they did, but we now have more of a public platform and friends in high and low places than before.

Actually, small correction for 6:24 there was never any medical evidence actually published that Imane khelif has xy chromosomes; they also targeted another boxer, lin yu-ting, in the same campaign Edited for spelling
True, the person claiming that Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes is a close confitdant of Vlad Putain and a lifetime member of the Russian mob; and only claimed so to disqualify Ms Khelif after she beat a Russian boxer fair and square in a world championship match.
@@alianathefoxfairy i don't know where the testes claim came from, but i do know that not even the method of tests that the IBA used to disqualify her originally in 2023 has been disclosed, they only specified that it wasn't testosterone testing. It is also worth noting that this "testing" came into play after khelif beat a russian boxer, azalia amineva. Due to these undisclosed test results, amineva had her record as unbeaten restored.
I've been surviving out of spite for over six decades. I highly recommend it. Also, make room for all of the joy, love, friendship, and happiness you can get. Those things make the spite a lot sweeter 💙
It’s wild because I remember in the 2000s it was about “girl power” and “girls can do anything boys can do.” Then there is just this 180 to thinking women aren’t capable of going against men in sports at all. Did anyone watch “She’s the Man”? It is wild that a lot of people who say they are feminists would say that the moral of the movie is a lie.
And by testosterone levels too. It doesn't just make you muscles bigger, it also increases your red blood cells count and endurance. But then there are still people without high testosterone who can compete on the same level of those who do. There isn't any one factor that determines athletic ability
I'm not against it since but I want to shill my own two cents of how I think about this. Personally I feel like sports is a very special case because I can't think about anything else that's super super common which is very focused on bodies or rather their abilities. (Except somewhat a fucking beauty contest but there its something different we don't get into right now) I do think it would be good to have more categories as you suggested but still biological males and females are just built different which I feel like should be considered where it makes sense. Of course chess for example doesn't focuses on muscle mass but on your mind so at least to me it wouldn't make any sense to have a bio male and female category. Of course there can be bio women who are built like a fucking tank stronger than the average bio male which is pretty dope though those are just the different Genetic predisposition people can have, like everyone has. But generally speaking most bio women have less muscle mass than bio males for example so it really doesn't feel fair to me and should be considered. I'm absolutely no professional when it comes to intersex people but how I would try to handle the situation would be that there definitely should be special rules that they can just choose which group they want to compete with or even that their score will be counted in both categories. Because let's be real statistically there's not that many of them compared to just bio male and female so having their very own category would oftentimes be just a single person in there which kind of defeats the point of competitions of there's no one to compete against. The idea from the other commenter about the testosterone levels is also a pretty good idea I didn't even think about so I'm sure there's absolutely ways to make this fair for everyone in a way. And people should just take the stick out of their bum and socially accept everyone but not shun it when someone is presenting themselves differently from their bio sex. It shouldn't be embarrassing for them trying to hide that or feel uncomfortable when that's brought up because damn bodies are great they keep you alive (yes being alive is good and I send love to you reader). Just the concept of gender binary is what causes people to feel like they don't fit in and feel bad/embarrassed/wrong etc. But socially we sadly aren't at this point yet. Genuinely the only reason we are in this situation where people really go and even go as far as to off themselves because they feel like they don't fit in with how they feel like is because OTHERS make them feel like they don't fit in. That your body needs to be a specific way to make you socially acceptable and recognised as a woman or man. But yea just wanted to spill my thoughts I hope I conveyed everything somewhat okay not the best at talking. But biological sex isn't something that can always just be fully ignored but that also doesn't make it any better or worse. It just makes it something that needs to be considered and solutions must be found to make everything fair and equal And what I mean by equal is for example how medicine should be tested on male and female cells. And in case of vastly different results they should be adjusted and two version should be available. Which again isn't bad or good but just something that needs to be considered for everyone. Only divided into categories when it benefits the people and again makes things more fair and equal. But I'm open for everyone's opinion so idk let me know if you've got a better idea Much love
@@brqh3gre Sure, but that's where you get into some shady territory. Testosterone is associated with those things, but higher testosterone doesn't guarantee those things. People's bodies process testosterone, androgens and other sex hormones differently. Some people have conditions that increase testosterone and androgens, but also create issues with breathing, weight and circulation. PCOS is one example. Testosterone levels aren't everything. When you regulate something so complicated, it can do more harm than good. Historically, androgen testing athletes has been considered invasive and pretty ineffective.
6:22 Quick correct: Imane Khelif’s chromosomal test where she supposedly had XY instead of XX was preformed by an incredibly corrupt and discredited Russian sports agency. The results were never actually published and it is wildly believed this “test” was done in order to disqualify Imane Khelif after she beat a popular, and previously undefeated, Russian boxer. We have no evidence that she has XY chromosomes. I love raising awareness about our intersex siblings but it’s important to not fall for miss information. Other than that amazing video as always
Speaking of these grifters fading away into obscurity, one person I've stopped hearing from is that skateboarder that claimed a trans woman is why she lost and it turned out she came 16th or something as well as a 9 year old beating them both.
6:19 This thing about Imane having XY chromosomes was propaganda from Russia, I appreciate you mentioning intersexuality and that it would be fine regardless, but the XY thing was disinfo
I mean this in the best way: This video's outfit feels like the Onceler transitioned and tumblr would only be more horny for it. Seriously, I might die if you keep wearing such great outfits, unfair.
8:50 omg, that poor girl. I had no idea a volleyball could do so much damage! I have to tell my mom right away, she's been playing co-ed volleyball with BIG, STRONG, SCARY, SUPERIOR adult MEN for years!!!
just to add, don’t be afraid to make an exit plan! it’s always safer to have a way out preplanned than trying to do it on the fly! this way you can save up money and resources for when shit hits the fan and you feel the need to leave. and it’s okay to feel that need! you know yourself best, and if you feel like you need to go and be somewhere safer? then do so! continue existing but do it at your comfort level!
I'm already having a hard time enough what with my job cutting my hours drastically, trying to find another job, living in Michigan as it is is terrible and depressing and I've been wanting to move out of here but my husband is just not on board. I don't think he's taking seriously how this is going to affect both of us.
100%. my plan is to save as much money as possible and do as much research as i can on other states, and stay in my state for as long as possible. i want to have more time to learn life skills and spend as much time with my family before things get too bad. i'm in FL though so it probably wont be very long :/
@@lmnlstes if its really serious, I'd recommend making some preparations if you can anyways. My mother did that, our home country ended up starting a war like 3 years later so I'd say it was worth it.
Side note the fact that Imane khelif actually has a DSD isn't proven since I think the only evidence we have is the interernational boxing association who has been banned from the olympics due to russian coruption. So it's just as likely that imane khelif doesn't even have a DSD and the IBA needed an excuse to disqualify her after beating a russian boxer in last years competion.
I truly believe being a fascist ages you like you’re a Sith Lord in Star Wars. Every person looks like a half melted wax statue someone managed to bring inside before it melted fully
I get what you're saying but I do have to agree with the other commenter. How "gracefully" you age has less to do with your morality, and much more to do with how much money you have to circumvent it. Somebody can pay for all the botox and surgeries and facial lifts in the world to "still look young" at like 64, but it won't change the ugly and corrupt soul they have. It's not even the case of "ugly = good, pretty = bad", because ugliness/beauty is still pretty subjective and that kind of metric doesn't make things better. We should just acknowledge that horrible people are horrible people, and we should try to not associate their horridness with their appearance. ...I mean, im pretty ghoulish myself keke
the lgbtq fascist says what? the fact that you will scream in peoples faces how they need to accept you and then cry that they are the fascists when they don’t want anything to do with you.
I feel like this analogy falls a bit flat when you consider that there were a number of Sith Lords that were considered very attractive. Darth Talon is the most famous example, as well as Darth Zannah, Darth Cognus and Darth Atroxa. Even Darth Maul is kinda attractive
The election results were hard to handle. But seeing how rough the future looks has me more motivated than ever to see it through. If for no other reason, then at least so I never give naysayers the satisfaction of seeing me fall and not pick myself back up. I’m ready to fight for my right to exist, and it has been so encouraging to see so many people share that same sentiment. Stay safe. Have each other’s backs. Free Palestine.
The emerald hue of your amazing wig was just the calming color I needed, while groovy6081's "Mr. President" comment gave me a laugh so loud and hearty that I think I lost weight.
It really is wild that their whole world is filled with failures. Even when they get famous people backing them, it's people like Kevin Sorbo, Adam Carolla, and Kid Rock. And they have to pretend that these are all amazing performers. They truly have embraced being losers
they lost to biological men… do you not see how that is not okay for women’s sports or do you just not care as long as it strokes a biological man’s fragile ego? men always have to ruin things for women. we can’t have anything.
riley gaines is a female swimming american record holder, she is not a loser. lea thomas, who was ranked in the 300s for males all the sudden is crushing women’s record holders?
more Sailor Neptune hair! (also, im just gonna pretend that "XXXY athletics" is for helping XXXY intersex athletes, bc that makes me happy and the actuality makes me itch)
The difference between Riley Gains and kids that receive participation trophies is the kids know what the trophy actually means, and Riley clearly thinks she's doing something.
I'm a simple woman, I see Riley Gaines getting dunked, I engage. She tied for fifth, stay mad. Mandatory reminder of CCES's report on trans women in sports. The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports is Canada anti-doping agency, and they tell you why opposition to trans women in sports is unsubstantiated underresearched nonsense, with receipts.
Love this video Coke Francis, don’t usually comment but I think the sentiment of keeping on with expression and resolve is powerful and personally I needed to hear it. Fuck these fascists. My filmmaking dreams have felt more dead than ever and it’s been very troubling, but we will persevere because that is what we need to do. And we need to all support each other. Great video.
For many in red states, the last administration fed us to the wolves and we've already been living in abortion bans, HRT bans, CRT bans, emboldened fascists, state-funded genocide, and bloodthirsty police. In my own home state, there is practically nothing left for Trump to take from us. So those who are terrified, I feel your pain- but what you fear is becoming what many already are: the forgotten of society. Homeless trans kids never had HRT and their presence in public was already criminalized. Immigrants have been living incarcerated without charge for decades. Nazis marched unbothered in Nashville not even 5 months ago. Palestinian families have been torn to shreds under Biden policy. If this election does anything, let it humble us to remember how much each one of us had to lose in the first place. And let it help us face the rise of fascism head-on instead of turning a blind eye to the fascism under the Democratic party. Organize and let the people in your area know they can rely on you. All we have is each other. When they take all you have, there is nothing left to lose from fighting back.
Thank you so much for the intro Francis -- you've quickly become one of my favorite creators on the platform and hearing that message from you, someone so even-headed really meant the world.
Something I just realized, didn't all of these people play coed sports for gym classes or summer camp/family BBQ days AT LEAST ONCE growing up??? Like I know some people might have had very separate classes or clubs but like I never hear anyone campaigning to ban boys playing against girls in gym class because it's "dangerous and unsafe". Trophy or not the physical risks would be even higher in a casual setting because teenagers are Stupid and get overly competitive sometimes. I remember girls wiping the floor with boys in my gym class, I even got a sprained ankle playing volleyball because me and a guy rammed each other trying to get the same spike! Nobody ran around stoping him from playing ever again, same for the guy who accidentally knocked a basketball right onto my head and gave me a big old bundle of nerve issues (very minor sensations that have healed after 5 years to be clear, thank god). Point being, they seem to have forgotten that men and women grow up playing games and competing with each other even when cameras and medals aren't involved. Guess it doesn't count if they didn't see it in public huh?
Amazing Opening Speech Queen Francis, I was feeling down after the results but the more and more days have past, the more I have processed the results and learned about what is coming up, This has Made me more Angry and more willing to make a difference in the world. Side Note: A New Character is Unlocked in the Queen Coke Francis Drag Queen Fighting Game Battle: Dark Green Haired Gentleman Francis. And Guess What, Francis still looks good, no matter what the Outfit she wears
the funny thing is that one of the talking points for terfs is that a trans woman is not a "real" woman because they didn't have to grow up as one, do not share the struggles of a bio woman etc etc. But khelif, even if she were a bio man, has been raised as a girl, has had the struggles of a bio woman. This proves that for terfs nothing matters. and as a cis but woman of colour i have always been wary of terfs' supposed concern for "real" women, because what happens when a cis woman does not conform to ideas of white femininity? imane khelif is what happens

Not a single trans person is as obsessed with their gender as cis women, omg. What's the music used at 18:30? I know I know it but I can't place it and it's driving me crazy
Imagine trying to blame a trans person for being the reason you suck at golf Golf- the sport where you ride in a cart between each hole and have someone else carry your shit for you
For people that are so obsessed with not having to be “politically correct” they sure want us to refer them with political correctness! I can hear them now, “I’m not a bigot! I’m a ‘Person of Discriminatory Taste’” 😂
The one thing that is so obnoxious is that they're not just fascist, theyre so unbelievably lame at the same time. Melon Husk making a doge joke for the fucking govt. Come on.
I live in Canada, where I thought things were better, but nah, that could change any day. We take huge cues from US politics and we have an election next year, so god knows how that might change. People like you inspire me to fight. For now I'll listen to You're a Superstar by Love Inc, aka the theme song for all Canadian queers.
Everyone produces both of testosterone and estrogen, it's just that more the dominant hormone is testosterone for men, and estrogen for women. Even ignoring intersex conditions there are many reasons why a cis woman or cis man would be different then the average levels. No matter how 'perfect' the tests are for hormone levels, it will harm cis women as equally as trans people.
Thanks for a little facts, a little hope, and a little humor. I'm young Gen X and lived through all that plus 12 years of antichrist Reagan and Bush, AIDS, a couple times with my blood on an ER floor, the early '90s recession, monsters greater than these in Congress, police raiding gay book stores because they were gay book stores, and other events that were no fun at all. The thing I like most about millennials and zoomers is they really understand the concept of intersectionality, something sorely missing from the '80s and '90s. This is how we'll survive. We'll have to do a lot of heavy lifting but as the old saying goes, many hands make light work. For the younglings out there, remember: no war but class war. Help others as much as is reasonable for you. Ask for help when you need it. If there's no seat for you at the table, make your own table. And may the goddess have mercy upon us all.
My favorite thing about all these women railing against “men in women’s sports” is that none of them ever finished 2nd behind a trans woman. They’re made they finished 5th while a transwoman placed 4th and I guarantee that these women are the same type of person to rail against participation trophies
All of them look like the girls who get hired every summer to mow all the public facilities in my rural hometown for $25 an hour. I wish I was exaggerating.
@LittleMissLounge The last time I got paid so well was when I did land surveying. But you're right that they're doing something useful, and I shouldn't be envious because I've made the right connections to do things that I prefer to do as well.
Thank you Queen! I have had a pretty frustrating past couple of days and it's really nice to hear you go over this stuff with your incisive and empathic takes
Thanks, Queen. I needed that. Please keep being you. I watched this video while setting up my ventilation system for my new 3d printer. I intend to create a sort of makerspace for my neighborhood, and also we'll be starting a garden club, soon. At least folks will have food they can trust, if we grow it ourselves. Look out for yourselves, everyone.
8:11 Hi! I’m new to your channel and am loving your content so far! I like the deep dives into the people behind this anti-trans athleticwear movement and where they came from, and I adore your humor, vibes, and fit. I like your empathetic but still sassy takes on things; I really find myself valuing people who tackle serious topics with the gravity they deserve, nowadays, as so many supposedly human-rights-focused people have proven themselves to just be here to “spill tea” and “dunk on” grifters in a way that so obviously is exactly what those grifters want. I feel like your research into who they are and what they’ve done besides the grift shifts focus away from what they want to get attention with. This is just how I feel in general, now onto my comment lol as a disabled person who used to be an athlete, it really is crazy how much your prospects of being a serious athlete can fall out from under you at any moment due to a traumatic injury or illness. I think Payton is shifting the blame onto the athlete that spiked a ball into her when this is a completely expected sports-related injury, but unfortunately I think the media environment we exist within is greatly to blame, as it’s normal to go through phases of anger and lashing out when grieving the person you thought you were going to be, and people around her simply said, “you’re right. this sports injury somehow WAS different than all the rest, because it was a trans person who injured you.” not only is that how I personally feel about the situation, but I think from a disability advocacy perspective, it’s not right to question her injuries or whether what she sustained was serious, or what impacts they had on her - you absolutely can be seriously injured from falling on the floor and cracking your head open, and those injuries absolutely can impact you for the rest of your life. even if she’s NOT telling the truth about never being able to play sports professionally or at a college level again, it’s possible, and it’s something lots of disabled people face, and I don’t think that it’s necessary to call those things into question in order to point out her transphobia. in fact, it’s all the more infuriating because this IS something that so many disabled former athletes can relate to, and it feels like there’s this push to pit disabled people against trans people, especially trans women. I don’t think you did anything wrong by calling her out for acting like it’s this unprecedented, awful thing for her to get hit in the face by a volleyball while playing volleyball, but I think it’s at least believable that her injuries really were that bad and they really will impact her life seriously. I just don’t think that’s the fault of the other athlete, who was just playing the game.
You discuss these things like I do to my friends who aren’t chronically up to date. It’s so well laid out and easy to keep pace with without losing interest lurv it
Yay!!!!! The video about XX-XY is very good and some of these women are ambassadors or work at the Independent Women's Forum did a bus tour this year called "Take Back Title IX" through several cities in the United States, and they were all white, except Paula Scanlan who is half Taiwanese, and she was Lia Thomas' former teammate on the women's swimming team at the University of Pennsylvania and there were no women of color. Note: If these women have their way, they're not going to stop with trans female athletes, it will also affect cis female as well or will try to ban women from competing in sports altogether. P.S: Love your wig and makeup. ❤❤❤
You made me double check the calendar, it's already been almost 2 weeks ago. I early voted in October and it's hard to believe that it's already over , well at least the election part, obviously we're just getting started.

11:33 yep, exactly what I expected her to look like. Insurrection Becky, because calling her insurrection Barbie would be an insult to Barbie because she would never.
I love how you have lipstick and hair with so many unique colors. That blue color in your newer video is great too. I think it goes without saying that you know how to turn out so many unique looks.
I’ve went through a lot of trauma dealing with evangelicalism. It really doesn’t help with everything happening. But it is good to know even when things are feeling backwards it is because of there being progress forwards at the same time. Fear mongering happens, but the thing about fear mongering is that people don’t like living in fear.
As a 40 something straight cis man, i love everything about this video. Keep up the good work and positive motivation. Also the final fantasy music in your vids kick ass
Your content is inspirational and I *love* that you incorporate missing eyebrow hair spots into your make up. It's fun and some of my favorite people have scars on their eyebrows causing spots like that.
I feel like we are living in an alternate reality where half the folks are citizens of Pawnee, IN, and the rest of us are Leslie Knopes looking out for the betterment of society. I'm tired 😩
I loved the message of this video and your speech in the beginning and the end. I am the same age as you and have lived through the same world events and it is up to us to let the youth know that we will get through this (like we always have)

I got hit in the face with a volleyball multiple times… didn’t realize I should have milked it for attention, dang

Surprised you could type all this while being blind, paralyzed and braindead.
you guys are so sick. a fully developed man spiking a ball with male strength is terrifying. i played volleyball and we would watch the boys play, absolutely shocked. our varsity girls team wasn’t as good as the jv team. it’s not milking. a man spiked a ball in her face.

@Taekaleaf I know... It was insane. The international association for chess placed a blanket ban, and these grifters genuinely applauded it.
Fishing??? As a trans man who loves fishing and wants to eventually do some contests what the actual fuck lmfao.
@FailSafe161 yeah, the UK fishing organisation has banned trans women from women's competitions... It's ludicrous...
No pronouns for anyone! But also we have to obsess about the essential and mutually exclusive nature of the TWOOOOO genders!!
They can’t make up
Their minds.
I'm a guy, and when was in high school, a girl once lobbed a volleyball so hard into my face that it knocked me down and gave me a bloody nose.
It doesn't really matter who hits it, a ball with enough speed is gonna hurt. You'd think a "professional" athlete would realise that
I've watched semi- and professional women play volleyball. They don't fuck around on that court. If they see an opportunity for a spike to get a point they're going to smash that ball into mach 3 to get it. I've seen women hit balls so hard that it made me scared to think about what it would feel like if they punched me in the head. I remember watching Simone Biles do a routine and every time her legs slammed down on the beam I physically flinched. I was like, "this woman would kick my head clean off my shoulders and go on with her day like nothing happened..."
I had a guy kick a soccer ball as hard as he could into my chest when my girls team was playing a boys team. I went for his ankles like a hungry beagle with my cleats, succeeding several times to dump him in the mud and scored on him once. I had a bruise for a few weeks. One of my many fun stories playing rough with biological males. My trans woman ex can’t even beat me at disc golf anymore. I hate all the snowflake bigots that kill the fun.
A professional athlete, yes, might realize that... Now, a profesional grifter, that's another thing.
I mean... looking at it from a physical stand point, volleyball is very technical compared to just throwing a ball. One uses the elasticity of the ball skin and the leverage of the arm to make the ball go really quick.
If you don't know any technique, you can be steering as shit, the call will not fly.
And when the outcome is mostly determined by technique... it's a less one-gendered outcome.
Personally, i think that women athletes could take the harsh shots from men better if they're used to it. Too many Women are forced to endure pain when they're on they're period and pretend it's nothing. Can't tell me, they cannot take a hard shot when their skin is trained. It's the same when you start volleyball, your arms will be tender, but it gets better
you think male strength isn’t more damaging than female strength? have you ever played volleyball for a school team and see the difference between boys and girls playing?

Gen X'er here, I am glad that you advised everyone to read up on the Reagan era. People (even liberals) like to make him sound better in hindsight (I guess the passing of time does that), but he was just as bad as Trump. We survived his administration (and in some ways, became stronger) and we will persevere through this one. I love the quote about being the ulcer in the belly of the best.

Actually, small correction for 6:24 there was never any medical evidence actually published that Imane khelif has xy chromosomes; they also targeted another boxer, lin yu-ting, in the same campaign
Edited for spelling
True, the person claiming that Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes is a close confitdant of Vlad Putain and a lifetime member of the Russian mob; and only claimed so to disqualify Ms Khelif after she beat a Russian boxer fair and square in a world championship match.
I heard she had XY chromosomes and internal testes. Is that also disinformation from the same person?
@alianathefoxfairy either that or Russian plugs like tim pool or anyone else that doesn't bother to fact check.
@@alianathefoxfairy i don't know where the testes claim came from, but i do know that not even the method of tests that the IBA used to disqualify her originally in 2023 has been disclosed, they only specified that it wasn't testosterone testing. It is also worth noting that this "testing" came into play after khelif beat a russian boxer, azalia amineva. Due to these undisclosed test results, amineva had her record as unbeaten restored.
Yeah, I read about this, and it is frustrating how hard it is to correct misinformation.
At first i felt so helpless, now im mad and fired up

I think sports should be divided by weight & height instead of gender. Gendered sports are super weird and unfair to players when you think about it.
It’s wild because I remember in the 2000s it was about “girl power” and “girls can do anything boys can do.”
Then there is just this 180 to thinking women aren’t capable of going against men in sports at all.
Did anyone watch “She’s the Man”? It is wild that a lot of people who say they are feminists would say that the moral of the movie is a lie.
And by testosterone levels too. It doesn't just make you muscles bigger, it also increases your red blood cells count and endurance.
But then there are still people without high testosterone who can compete on the same level of those who do. There isn't any one factor that determines athletic ability
I'm not against it since but I want to shill my own two cents of how I think about this. Personally I feel like sports is a very special case because I can't think about anything else that's super super common which is very focused on bodies or rather their abilities. (Except somewhat a fucking beauty contest but there its something different we don't get into right now)
I do think it would be good to have more categories as you suggested but still biological males and females are just built different which I feel like should be considered where it makes sense. Of course chess for example doesn't focuses on muscle mass but on your mind so at least to me it wouldn't make any sense to have a bio male and female category.
Of course there can be bio women who are built like a fucking tank stronger than the average bio male which is pretty dope though those are just the different Genetic predisposition people can have, like everyone has. But generally speaking most bio women have less muscle mass than bio males for example so it really doesn't feel fair to me and should be considered.
I'm absolutely no professional when it comes to intersex people but how I would try to handle the situation would be that there definitely should be special rules that they can just choose which group they want to compete with or even that their score will be counted in both categories. Because let's be real statistically there's not that many of them compared to just bio male and female so having their very own category would oftentimes be just a single person in there which kind of defeats the point of competitions of there's no one to compete against.
The idea from the other commenter about the testosterone levels is also a pretty good idea I didn't even think about so I'm sure there's absolutely ways to make this fair for everyone in a way.
And people should just take the stick out of their bum and socially accept everyone but not shun it when someone is presenting themselves differently from their bio sex. It shouldn't be embarrassing for them trying to hide that or feel uncomfortable when that's brought up because damn bodies are great they keep you alive (yes being alive is good and I send love to you reader). Just the concept of gender binary is what causes people to feel like they don't fit in and feel bad/embarrassed/wrong etc. But socially we sadly aren't at this point yet. Genuinely the only reason we are in this situation where people really go and even go as far as to off themselves because they feel like they don't fit in with how they feel like is because OTHERS make them feel like they don't fit in. That your body needs to be a specific way to make you socially acceptable and recognised as a woman or man.
But yea just wanted to spill my thoughts I hope I conveyed everything somewhat okay not the best at talking. But biological sex isn't something that can always just be fully ignored but that also doesn't make it any better or worse. It just makes it something that needs to be considered and solutions must be found to make everything fair and equal
And what I mean by equal is for example how medicine should be tested on male and female cells. And in case of vastly different results they should be adjusted and two version should be available. Which again isn't bad or good but just something that needs to be considered for everyone. Only divided into categories when it benefits the people and again makes things more fair and equal.
But I'm open for everyone's opinion so idk let me know if you've got a better idea
Much love
This six foot cis woman, who played rugby in college and loves weightlifting, agrees with you.
@@brqh3gre Sure, but that's where you get into some shady territory. Testosterone is associated with those things, but higher testosterone doesn't guarantee those things. People's bodies process testosterone, androgens and other sex hormones differently. Some people have conditions that increase testosterone and androgens, but also create issues with breathing, weight and circulation. PCOS is one example. Testosterone levels aren't everything. When you regulate something so complicated, it can do more harm than good. Historically, androgen testing athletes has been considered invasive and pretty ineffective.
6:22 Quick correct: Imane Khelif’s chromosomal test where she supposedly had XY instead of XX was preformed by an incredibly corrupt and discredited Russian sports agency. The results were never actually published and it is wildly believed this “test” was done in order to disqualify Imane Khelif after she beat a popular, and previously undefeated, Russian boxer. We have no evidence that she has XY chromosomes. I love raising awareness about our intersex siblings but it’s important to not fall for miss information. Other than that amazing video as always
Speaking of these grifters fading away into obscurity, one person I've stopped hearing from is that skateboarder that claimed a trans woman is why she lost and it turned out she came 16th or something as well as a 9 year old beating them both.
You mean Taylor Silverman, the transphobic skater who finished in 34th place and got beaten by 9 to 13 year old girls?

just to add, don’t be afraid to make an exit plan! it’s always safer to have a way out preplanned than trying to do it on the fly! this way you can save up money and resources for when shit hits the fan and you feel the need to leave. and it’s okay to feel that need! you know yourself best, and if you feel like you need to go and be somewhere safer? then do so! continue existing but do it at your comfort level!
I'm already having a hard time enough what with my job cutting my hours drastically, trying to find another job, living in Michigan as it is is terrible and depressing and I've been wanting to move out of here but my husband is just not on board.

TCPipline (transgender continental pipeline) helps move trans people into safer states, as well. Because yes, exit plans save lives.
100%. my plan is to save as much money as possible and do as much research as i can on other states, and stay in my state for as long as possible. i want to have more time to learn life skills and spend as much time with my family before things get too bad. i'm in FL though so it probably wont be very long :/

@@lmnlstes if its really serious, I'd recommend making some preparations if you can anyways. My mother did that, our home country ended up starting a war like 3 years later so I'd say it was worth it.
Side note the fact that Imane khelif actually has a DSD isn't proven since I think the only evidence we have is the interernational boxing association who has been banned from the olympics due to russian coruption. So it's just as likely that imane khelif doesn't even have a DSD and the IBA needed an excuse to disqualify her after beating a russian boxer in last years competion.
I truly believe being a fascist ages you like you’re a Sith Lord in Star Wars. Every person looks like a half melted wax statue someone managed to bring inside before it melted fully
ugliness =/= morality
or immorality whatevs u know what im saying. looking like a half melted wax statue isnt a fascist indicator its just how people look
I get what you're saying but I do have to agree with the other commenter. How "gracefully" you age has less to do with your morality, and much more to do with how much money you have to circumvent it. Somebody can pay for all the botox and surgeries and facial lifts in the world to "still look young" at like 64, but it won't change the ugly and corrupt soul they have. It's not even the case of "ugly = good, pretty = bad", because ugliness/beauty is still pretty subjective and that kind of metric doesn't make things better. We should just acknowledge that horrible people are horrible people, and we should try to not associate their horridness with their appearance.
...I mean, im pretty ghoulish myself keke
the lgbtq fascist says what? the fact that you will scream in peoples faces how they need to accept you and then cry that they are the fascists when they don’t want anything to do with you.
I feel like this analogy falls a bit flat when you consider that there were a number of Sith Lords that were considered very attractive. Darth Talon is the most famous example, as well as Darth Zannah, Darth Cognus and Darth Atroxa. Even Darth Maul is kinda attractive
The election results were hard to handle. But seeing how rough the future looks has me more motivated than ever to see it through. If for no other reason, then at least so I never give naysayers the satisfaction of seeing me fall and not pick myself back up.

It really is wild that their whole world is filled with failures. Even when they get famous people backing them, it's people like Kevin Sorbo, Adam Carolla, and Kid Rock. And they have to pretend that these are all amazing performers.
They truly have embraced being losers
Calling them "famous" is really generous at this point. Last time a kid fell as badly as Rock did, Eric Clapton wrote a song about it.
they lost to biological men… do you not see how that is not okay for women’s sports or do you just not care as long as it strokes a biological man’s fragile ego? men always have to ruin things for women. we can’t have anything.
riley gaines is a female swimming american record holder, she is not a loser. lea thomas, who was ranked in the 300s for males all the sudden is crushing women’s record holders?

Mandatory reminder of CCES's report on trans women in sports. The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports is Canada anti-doping agency, and they tell you why opposition to trans women in sports is unsubstantiated underresearched nonsense, with receipts.
it’s not unsubstantiated. men are different than women. there’s a reason why we have two categories, no?

For many in red states, the last administration fed us to the wolves and we've already been living in abortion bans, HRT bans, CRT bans, emboldened fascists, state-funded genocide, and bloodthirsty police. In my own home state, there is practically nothing left for Trump to take from us. So those who are terrified, I feel your pain- but what you fear is becoming what many already are: the forgotten of society. Homeless trans kids never had HRT and their presence in public was already criminalized. Immigrants have been living incarcerated without charge for decades. Nazis marched unbothered in Nashville not even 5 months ago. Palestinian families have been torn to shreds under Biden policy. If this election does anything, let it humble us to remember how much each one of us had to lose in the first place. And let it help us face the rise of fascism head-on instead of turning a blind eye to the fascism under the Democratic party. Organize and let the people in your area know they can rely on you. All we have is each other. When they take all you have, there is nothing left to lose from fighting back.
Thank you so much for the intro Francis -- you've quickly become one of my favorite creators on the platform and hearing that message from you, someone so even-headed really meant the world.
Something I just realized, didn't all of these people play coed sports for gym classes or summer camp/family BBQ days AT LEAST ONCE growing up??? Like I know some people might have had very separate classes or clubs but like I never hear anyone campaigning to ban boys playing against girls in gym class because it's "dangerous and unsafe". Trophy or not the physical risks would be even higher in a casual setting because teenagers are Stupid and get overly competitive sometimes.
I remember girls wiping the floor with boys in my gym class, I even got a sprained ankle playing volleyball because me and a guy rammed each other trying to get the same spike! Nobody ran around stoping him from playing ever again, same for the guy who accidentally knocked a basketball right onto my head and gave me a big old bundle of nerve issues (very minor sensations that have healed after 5 years to be clear, thank god).
Point being, they seem to have forgotten that men and women grow up playing games and competing with each other even when cameras and medals aren't involved. Guess it doesn't count if they didn't see it in public huh?
Amazing Opening Speech Queen Francis, I was feeling down after the results but the more and more days have past, the more I have processed the results and learned about what is coming up, This has Made me more Angry and more willing to make a difference in the world.

the funny thing is that one of the talking points for terfs is that a trans woman is not a "real" woman because they didn't have to grow up as one, do not share the struggles of a bio woman etc etc. But khelif, even if she were a bio man, has been raised as a girl, has had the struggles of a bio woman. This proves that for terfs nothing matters. and as a cis but woman of colour i have always been wary of terfs' supposed concern for "real" women, because what happens when a cis woman does not conform to ideas of white femininity? imane khelif is what happens

Everyone produces both of testosterone and estrogen, it's just that more the dominant hormone is testosterone for men, and estrogen for women. Even ignoring intersex conditions there are many reasons why a cis woman or cis man would be different then the average levels. No matter how 'perfect' the tests are for hormone levels, it will harm cis women as equally as trans people.

The thing I like most about millennials and zoomers is they really understand the concept of intersectionality, something sorely missing from the '80s and '90s. This is how we'll survive. We'll have to do a lot of heavy lifting but as the old saying goes, many hands make light work. For the younglings out there, remember: no war but class war.

My favorite thing about all these women railing against “men in women’s sports” is that none of them ever finished 2nd behind a trans woman. They’re made they finished 5th while a transwoman placed 4th and I guarantee that these women are the same type of person to rail against participation trophies
All of them look like the girls who get hired every summer to mow all the public facilities in my rural hometown for $25 an hour. I wish I was exaggerating.
At least they're doing something useful.
@LittleMissLounge The last time I got paid so well was when I did land surveying. But you're right that they're doing something useful, and I shouldn't be envious because I've made the right connections to do things that I prefer to do as well.
at least they are actually girls😭

Hi! I’m new to your channel and am loving your content so far! I like the deep dives into the people behind this anti-trans athleticwear movement and where they came from, and I adore your humor, vibes, and fit. I like your empathetic but still sassy takes on things; I really find myself valuing people who tackle serious topics with the gravity they deserve, nowadays, as so many supposedly human-rights-focused people have proven themselves to just be here to “spill tea” and “dunk on” grifters in a way that so obviously is exactly what those grifters want. I feel like your research into who they are and what they’ve done besides the grift shifts focus away from what they want to get attention with. This is just how I feel in general, now onto my comment lol
as a disabled person who used to be an athlete, it really is crazy how much your prospects of being a serious athlete can fall out from under you at any moment due to a traumatic injury or illness. I think Payton is shifting the blame onto the athlete that spiked a ball into her when this is a completely expected sports-related injury, but unfortunately I think the media environment we exist within is greatly to blame, as it’s normal to go through phases of anger and lashing out when grieving the person you thought you were going to be, and people around her simply said, “you’re right. this sports injury somehow WAS different than all the rest, because it was a trans person who injured you.” not only is that how I personally feel about the situation, but I think from a disability advocacy perspective, it’s not right to question her injuries or whether what she sustained was serious, or what impacts they had on her - you absolutely can be seriously injured from falling on the floor and cracking your head open, and those injuries absolutely can impact you for the rest of your life. even if she’s NOT telling the truth about never being able to play sports professionally or at a college level again, it’s possible, and it’s something lots of disabled people face, and I don’t think that it’s necessary to call those things into question in order to point out her transphobia. in fact, it’s all the more infuriating because this IS something that so many disabled former athletes can relate to, and it feels like there’s this push to pit disabled people against trans people, especially trans women. I don’t think you did anything wrong by calling her out for acting like it’s this unprecedented, awful thing for her to get hit in the face by a volleyball while playing volleyball, but I think it’s at least believable that her injuries really were that bad and they really will impact her life seriously. I just don’t think that’s the fault of the other athlete, who was just playing the game.
You discuss these things like I do to my friends who aren’t chronically up to date. It’s so well laid out and easy to keep pace with without losing interest lurv it
Yay!!!!! The video about XX-XY is very good and some of these women are ambassadors or work at the Independent Women's Forum did a bus tour this year called "Take Back Title IX" through several cities in the United States, and they were all white, except Paula Scanlan who is half Taiwanese, and she was Lia Thomas' former teammate on the women's swimming team at the University of Pennsylvania and there were no women of color.
Note: If these women have their way, they're not going to stop with trans female athletes, it will also affect cis female as well or will try to ban women from competing in sports altogether.
P.S: Love your wig and makeup. ❤❤❤
You made me double check the calendar, it's already been almost 2 weeks ago. I early voted in October and it's hard to believe that it's already over , well at least the election part, obviously we're just getting started.
Getting hit in the face is part of playing volleyball. Should’ve been ready and had her hands up.
Sounds like a skill issue on her part
For anyone who needs to hear it. You are loved. You are wanted. And you deserve to be here. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Some people try to grow until their last breath, and others are highlighted in this video.
I feel so ashamed of America right now. Love your content!! We will not hide, we will not be quiet, we are not here to just survive. We will continue to be loud and proud! I am manifesting peace and love to everyone out there who needs it right now!
11:33 yep, exactly what I expected her to look like. Insurrection Becky, because calling her insurrection Barbie would be an insult to Barbie because she would never.
Gotta be honest, it took me thirty seconds to get the title... I was like "When you make losing your entire personality what?!" 😅
Dude same 😭 a comma is needed
I REALLY needed to hear that intro today. Thank you so much
I love how you have lipstick and hair with so many unique colors. That blue color in your newer video is great too. I think it goes without saying that you know how to turn out so many unique looks.
I’ve went through a lot of trauma dealing with evangelicalism. It really doesn’t help with everything happening. But it is good to know even when things are feeling backwards it is because of there being progress forwards at the same time. Fear mongering happens, but the thing about fear mongering is that people don’t like living in fear.
We'll never stop fighting! Thanks as always for the video and inspiring words.
There is no “them and us.”
There is only us.
“Of course there is no us and them, but them they do not know that”
As a 40 something straight cis man, i love everything about this video. Keep up the good work and positive motivation. Also the final fantasy music in your vids kick ass
That little intro bit gave me chills, like in a good way. Hell yeah, solidarity and mutual aid forever!
Your content is inspirational and I *love* that you incorporate missing eyebrow hair spots into your make up. It's fun and some of my favorite people have scars on their eyebrows causing spots like that.
I feel like we are living in an alternate reality where half the folks are citizens of Pawnee, IN, and the rest of us are Leslie Knopes looking out for the betterment of society. I'm tired 😩
Thanks for the affirming words we need to keep repeating them now and forever
Choosing joy is always a act of resistance
sadly its not always that easy
I loved the message of this video and your speech in the beginning and the end. I am the same age as you and have lived through the same world events and it is up to us to let the youth know that we will get through this (like we always have)
