I think its so funny all people like girl defined complain about how "we live in a world nowadays where people are more excepting of individuality and inclusivity" as if that's a bad thing
Seriously. But to them, it is a bad thing. They see it as a threat to their self proclaimed "normal" and "correct" way of living. They're afraid that it'll mean they the very thing they do to others, could be done to them. Exactly the same reason why white razists flip out when a bipoc person is represented in the media. It's delusionally fear based in regards to their own dominance in society.
when i came out as trans my dad completely oversexualized it and it made me super uncomfortable, if anything its literally the transphobes who are oversexualizing us
well it makes sense that theyd see it as sexual, sadly, the only other time they "interact" trans people is in pornography or highly sexual content.. a lot of parents of trans people become uncomfortable because their child is now the same as the thing they masturbate to at night
The way Bethany is out of breath in her car makes me think she goes on runs and then when she gets in her car she records her thoughts she had while running
I don’t understand why she wouldn’t just take a minute to catch her breath though, she’s extra annoying to listen to when she’s breathing that heavily lmao
As a christian trans man, I am so grateful that my pastors and leaders of my church are accepting of queer people and the community. Even if I haven’t come out yet to the church, it is life saver (literally at times) that my religious group would at least treat me as a person if I came out
Can i ask you what denomination you're a part of? I'm doing some church shopping myself for that reason. Being a queer catholic sucks, even though my catholic faith itself is strong
It's so amazing that you were able to find a church that you truly feel safe and loved in! I wish you all the best if you do choose to come out. God bless :)
I don't understand why religious people (and some handful of not-religious people) refuse to understand that those in the LGBTQA+ meta-group can be have a well-practiced faith just as much as any other person.
Lol drag queens actually helped me embrace my femininity. I spent most of my youth trying to be the tomboy not-like-other-girls and drag queens, funnily enough, helped me see femininity through a different lens and appreciate it more
Yes! Watching Drag Race did it for me. They can sing, dance, act, be incredibly funny and talented, all while dressed extremely feminine in most cases. It helped boost my own confidence when wearing makeup and dressing feminine. I used to feel shy and demure
absolutely, i had the exact same experience, especially watching drag race. but also at the same time i was getting into activism and social issues and listening to trans people, especially trans women talk about womanhood and what it means to them also helped me embrace my femininity and understand it’s not a bad thing!! that’s why i hate this whole narrative about trans women taking away from womanhood, because i’ve literally always felt the opposite!!
Unironically, drag queens helped me break down some of my learned biases against certian feminine things(I would say stuff like "I'm not that kind of gay"). Later on drag kings(and other forms of drag performers) helped me, a gay man, have a better understanding of masculine(and non-gendered expression) things that I didn't allow myself to have(just as drag queens helped with the feminine things). I think a lot of cishet men would benifit from drag kings becoming mainstream and an accepted form of expression. Also, historical men's fashion maaking a comback through drag kings is exactly what men need nowadays, men's formal wear is so boring.
Yeah, I feel like avant garde is equally as extra and eye-catching just in different ways, and I rarely see these kinds of people crying and screaming about other types fashion that isn't exclusively queer.
@@arsonanarchybunny5541 that’s the only time they act like they care about these issues is when it’s against queer people. Look at Madea,ms doubtfire, and white chicks. I remember being shown these movies all the time as kid but it’s a problem when it’s in a queer space. Fucked up
I'm a trans guy and I just went to Catholic camp. I truly believe in God, but I was worried. But, my old friends from the camp asked me for my new name and pronouns! All the counselors were so supportive. Just a lil breath of fresh air for anyone who is losing faith in humanity rn.
Genuinely so glad to hear this. It's great to know that there are actually kind and decent people out there. I have the tendency to forget that. I wish you all the best.
Not to mention in the bible women were basically sold like cows and killed just because they enjoyed having intercourse...I'm good don't want nothing from the bible.
As a trans man, I just want to say a big thank you for continuing to be an incredible trans ally, especially since that’s not always the case with cis queer folx, especially on social media platforms Also, Kasha Davis is a local queen who not only started Drag story hours in our little city, but actually created an entire children’s television program in her drag persona and it has been a huuuge hit. Both have had incredibly positive effects on our entire community, and not just the queer folx :)
"The one that designed us gets to define us" As a lesbian raised Catholic, this type of shit has ALWAYS pissed me off. Did I ask to be designed? No. So I'll damn well define myself, thank you very much. Always came off very abusive parent, wanting their kids to be so grateful for the meager good they got that they forgot about all the bad.
My entire family pretty much sided with my sister when she tried to make a point that pronouns aren’t valid because of “grammar” and that all non-binary pronouns were just participation trophies. So…I’m out of that family, and making plans to change my last name. It’s beyond hurtful to have this from people who “love” you and think that this opinion is valid and I’m the problem for not respecting it
I love the part where she describes how humans were made to be unique, then is actively transphobic Especially considering Adam was assigned non-binary at birth, and only became a man when transgender Eve was made from their rib ahaha
Hold up, what? /pos I’ve genuinely never thought about it like that. If God is “neither male nor female”, and Adam was made in God’s image, then yeah, he wouldn’t have been made defined into a specific gender role then. Then you take the rib out of Adam, which if you thought about it in the sense of growing DNA type of thing to make the same creature (referring to making a second human), Eve acting as a companion in the same way Adam acted as a companion yet being physically different… Funky stuff. Thanks for the food for thought!
Well it's not completely regressing. Pretty recently, there was a law signed that protects gay marriage across the country despite what the Supreme Court or anyone else does. Though I do pretty much agree that acceptance is regressing pretty fast compared to how long it took for us to even get the right to marriage in 2016
Definitely. They've got the answers to everything though. They've got the one truth to the universe and life through god and the bible. They have an omnipotent being on their side who speaks through them and they're going to heaven but everyone else living in sin isn't. There's definitely a major superiority complex that comes along with the territory which is ironic considering how adamant the bible is on humbling yourself lol Their unearned and undeserved arrogance is some of the grossest I've seen from the religious community.
@@skinsey85 I am (still) christian myself (in Europe, mind you) and it always boggles my mind how many ppl who call themselves christian just flat-out disregard all the teachings and lessons their messiah tried to give them.

@@fervor-craft Something tells me people like that don't actually pay much attention to their religion outside of what purposes they think it can serve them for.
"God created man and woman 😩" bethany are you questioning "god's design" of creating gay people and trans people??? or are we thinking he made a mistake???? idk i'm not religious but that doesn't sound very god respecting to me 🤔
Right? It's mind boggling. Did he make a mistake or did someone else create trans and gay people? If it's the latter then why would christian rules apply to them?
@@annadarko6056 I once had this sort of conversation with a homophobic Christian and her response was something along the lines of "we're all born sinners and can only be saved by turning to Christ." And I was so genuinely confused. I guess she meant that gayness is a sin that you can just shed like a snake skin? That's so wild because while I'm not a Christian, I interpret sin to be living a life of serious crime without remorse or morals, not just wanting to bone the same gender as you lol. But why would God even create the concept of being gay if he hates it that much? Her response to that question was that God and sin are separate which boggled my mind even more because I thought he created everything...
They think that lgbt people are the enemy, therefore they not only did this to themselves but they deserve it. They don't blame god because god must be perfect. There's no way he'd make a mistake. There is no place in GDs heads for questioning that (or anything, really). Therefore it must be those peoples choice to stray from god. Even though god has a plan for everyone and is all knowing, so he knew what he was doing setting them up for failure. Even though humans have the gift of free will and choose their own path in life. The contradictions just never end.
@@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer You see, in their mind, god is all-powerful so every contradiction is just a 20 dimensional chess move on god's part to test humanity. Why he would do this and why you would want to turn to a god who is basically a dick for "mysterious reasons", is anyone's guess though.
@@fervor-craft exactly. There's even proof of how much of a dick he is in the old testament with Hiob. If God allegedly loves us all so much why did he do terrible things to him. Why would an all powerful and all knowing entity make a bet with the devil and torture someone just to prove something? The god in the old testament was way more about punishing and playing with people's lives than the new testament which seemed more about forgiveness, being less judgemental and having faith. It's almost as if those two were written by different people - very different people. Or did God have a change of heart? But that would mean he was wrong at some point.
I remember Trixie Mattel reacting to ‘Girl Defined’ on Drag and I felt so bad for the former because they had to sit through this person saying words and making no sense.
Religion should bring you peace and stability, not outrage and judgement, right? I think girl defined should take a look at the way they outwardly express their beliefs. Your thoughts are your own, but your actions can cause harm.
I couldn't agree more with everything you said, specifically the comment about the regression of gay acceptance. I've been witnessing it firsthand in my family. My mother, who was so accepting and embracing when it was just me out of the closet, has now completely turned against the community now that my sister and two of her children have come out as gay or trans. And it's just...I'm at a loss. I don't understand why this is happening ☠️
I think it's because we're at cross currents between people whose political identity has mutated into a cult-like state. Wherein they will destroy everything around them, including themselves, in order to remain within a certain "in group" politically. While this doesn't necessarily only happen to the right, especially terminally online conservatives, it's especially pronounced there.
It might be oversatuation for her. It’s like when people hate on popular shows because they’ve seen too much of it in the media. Perhaps she’ll get used to it and chill out as time goes on.
You have every right to be mad at your mom because ultimately she’s choosing bigoted beliefs over you, but if I had to guess it’s because some moderate conservatives were willing to tolerate a little difference because it didn’t effect them that much, and even though it still doesn’t, they increasingly feel left behind in a changing world. Most conservatives literally have a larger amygdala (fear center) than liberals and leftists and I imagine that fear increases as their understanding of their place in the world decreases. The more queer people she sees, the more it feels like the world is changing at large.
i really wanna share my little sisters story where she was trapped in a library because of proud boys standing outside screaming and banging on stuff because there was a drag queen story time. she was terrified of the christian, violent men outside the room. not the nice person in drag trying to read a children’s book.
They talk about how having all these options feels scary because there's so many options, but I'd rather feel overwhelmed with options rather than feel trapped in a strict system.
I laugh (and cringe) but honestly, it's kind of sad - they want to stamp out any vestiges of individuality. It must be so depressing to live that way. ... and then they try to encourage others to do the same, and "find your identity in the Bible!" which is disgusting.
Yeah, according to people like that, the only identity you're allowed to have is what the bible dictates and says you're allowed to have. It is a very sad and oppressive existence. So glad I got out when I did lol
Something that's always bothered me about these fundamentalists is how they always preach that we're all god's creation and that he created us the way we're supposed to be, but being lgbtq+ is somehow wrong. How do they know their god didn't create lgbtq+? Who are these people to question their god's creations? Because it isn't mentioned in the bible? The bible also doesn't mention using a toothbrush let alone sharing one and yet here we are.
Man shall not lie with man the way he lies with a woman and I think one other obscure verse they've twisted to mean gay equals sin lol They hinge all that hatred for millions upon millions of people because of a few words you could literally interpret any way. Not to mention the possibility of misinterpretation from the different versions and the different languages compared to the original text. But it's different and they don't understand therefore it must be wrong and unnatural so they'll lean heavily into confirmation biases. Basically whatever they think is wrong, they'll find a reason to back that up in the bible.
Someone (Bethany and Zethany) clearly missed that verse in the Bible where the Big J himself talks about how you shouldn't worry about a speck of dust in someone else's eye when you've got a plank in your own. Videos like these hit a lot closer to home for me. Christianity has given so much hope for me, my family, and so many others. I mean heck, thirty years ago my dad almost committed self-unalive, and the only thing that saved him was turning to Christ. My anxiety and depression would be so much harder to manage without faith in a greater Creator that keeps the world spinning so that I don't have to stress about it. That's why it always breaks my heart to see people like Girl Defined use it as a sword to cut down others. As a sidenote, I find it interesting that a vast majority of Christians so transphobic when Eve - the literal FIRST WOMAN IN SCRIPTURE - was created from the rib of Adam. AKA, created from the flesh of a man. So if you think about it, the argument could be made that Eve was the first trans woman, God gave our biology the ability to transition from male to female from day one. I think that if you ever gave that take to Girl Defined they would implode. Sooo...yeah. Great video, love your content, keep being awesome!
"God made them male and female" Hmmmm, as a non-binary self-proclaimed baddy, I think my existence checks out. I mean, I got testicles and chesticles and I use she/they pronouns, so who knows if God was using the singular they... and He capitalizes His pronouns. And there were eunichs, either self made or born that way and sometimes were part of religious ceremonies? I'm not too sure on my limited biblical knowledge. Also, for funsies and jokesies, it was originally Adam and Steve, Eve took the "St" out of her name so "Steve" is her deadname. God swapped out a gay couple with a straight couple where Eve is either considered trans, intersex, or both and Adam was a cishet man. Change my mind (:
@@geminiwolf0077 Some rabbis (and non-rabbis, probably) actually interpret "God made them male and female" in that exact way. Records of this interpretation date back to as early as the 4th century CE, in part of the Talmud (that specific interpretation being that the first man and woman were initially created as one dual-sexed being that God then split into two)
I love how everything she brought about what your identity might be based on all only external things. "Good Christian Girl, Marriage, Motherhood, Being a Good Girlfriend, Boss Girl, Influencer".
I'm a christian queer woman. My version of "biblical womanhood" is knowing and acknowledging my true self, and I am so glad that my church has always been accepting of queer and trans people because having a place where my faith and my gender/sexuality are not at odds makes me feel so much more secure. I hate that there are groups of both cishet christians and atheist lgbtq+ people who seem to think the two sides are incompatible.
I read the first sentence in the description for that first video and was like "omg is she actually gonna try and make a good point about how being too caught up in yourself and your opinions can cause you to not be as compassionate and considerate of the people around you!!" but then the transphobia came in full throttle not 2 words later...😭😭 She's literally doing exactly what she's claiming to stand against--putting her own beliefs and opinions before what everyone else thinks and automatically putting down those who don't align with her without trying to understand or have real empathy for them. What SHE thinks is right IS right, end of story, and everyone else should think the same. Like girl, the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE here, cmon.
As someone who's worked with over 50 children ages 0-8 I can tell you that they are not confused in the slightest by any lgbt+ views. The clothes are just cloth to them and as long as its fun and joyful, they love it. A girl once told a little boy in my work "oh I dont think you can wear this, it's a girl dress" while we were having dress up and play time. I told them calmly that a dress is a dress and anyone who likes it can wear it,as there's no such things as girl/boy dresses. They both looked at me and said "OK". Boy was happy in his dress and girl wore a shark costume and forgot about it. Simple. Kids only know what we teach them.
The amount of self control it takes for me to not maliciously misgender every cis person who says they "don't have pronouns" should have earned me a nobel peace prize by now. They sure remember they have preferred pronouns when someone gets em wrong 💀
I went to a pride event when I was 11, there was a family-friendly drag show with a sign language translator. There were lots of aspiring queer singers that performed before the drag show. During the drag show, I saw a large audience that included people of all ages, genders, and sexualities. I met a married couple, a man and a woman who had toddlers with them watching the drag show.
Do they really think drag queens twerk in front of children at family-friendly shows like... there's a reason those events are for children, and if people take their children to shows that are not appropriate for young kids, that's a parenting issue and applies to all shows/events, not just ones where drag queens are participating😑
Yeah I agree with you on this one I think the right wingers show some drag show clips on tv like the drags being wildly inappropriate in front of children that the bad parents took them in. which those shows are for adults but these conservative news reporter thinks that's every drag shows that are mistakenly labeled family friendly so they can easily prey on your kids but that's so not true .
I am thoroughly convinced these two are so afraid of just respecting people’s pronouns or gender identity or supporting who they want to be, because they don’t want to look at themselves and realize “oh wait. I’m not actually living a life that I’m happy with. I’m not happy with who I am right now. If I try to understand myself, everything could change.” They even basically said it out right in the video! “Now you have a thousand options of who you can be, and that’s scary!”
When she says “you’re not alone in wanting to believe in something unchanging in someone unchanging” I literally laughed out loud….honey boo boo if Christianity never changed you would have probably already been stoned 😂
"Demanding that people use these made up pronouns, and then, a month later changing them again?" Oh my goodness she'd hate me - she can't deal with people changing their pronouns a few times a year... what about a few times a week 😅
"They're molding children into their ideas! While it's the job of the parent to mold them in the RIGHT way" and not teach them to think by themselves. But I guess it's OK, because their mold is the only right one. 😂
Turning to Jesus was my prescription by church counselors after I had some traumatic events happen in my life, after 4 years I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with PTSD. I can say from experience I did the shit out of all the Jesus things, scripture study and prayers daily, it didn't cure my very real problems. A shocking conclusion I know, but maybe addressing the problems is best 💁♀
Exactly. It’s only after you’ve reached a state where you’re more mentally stable and open to change that you’re willing to take such a gigantic step that is turning to Jesus. I have severe depression and anxiety and was religion averse becauseI associated it with cultish bigoted fanatics. It took me until revenge to accept Christ into my life but only because I was in a place where I was ready for change and was willing to commit to it. Had I been doing this if I were mentally unstable, I would’ve became the same out of touch fanatic that I loathed. God has a timing when it comes to finding him. You just need to take the time to find it before you take that next step. I know that wasn’t the point you were trying to make but I thought it would be nice to address it.
I can tell you there is no where I have felt more safe to be myself and welcomed to express my joy than a drag show. If that’s grooming, open a salon bc I’m making a standing appointment
As an atheist who’s queer and non-binary I hate that the only justification is “GoD SAid Soooo”. To me it carries the same weight as “ BuT BaTMan SAId Soooooo”.
Yeah, total fucking dorks, they have the audacity to think that their specific little gender binary with their impractically strict and suspiciously victorian gender norms is somehow eternal and naturally engrained into the programming of all people since the beginning of time by the creator of the universe himself. Even the early judaic scripture the bible itself is based on recognised and made regular mention of six genders! Meanwhile, their precious traditions just want to bring back the fuckin 1950s.
“There’s so much freedom and clarity in christ!” Then tell me why people leave the church because they feel trapped or have more questions than answers 💀 girl bye
wait are they implying that exposing a kid to something they might not understand at first is child abuse? by that logic you should never expose a child to anything ever
Womanhood is a fairly complex topic to discuss. Seems like there could be misinformation out there that can affect many young individuals. GirlDefined, no doubt, seems to have spread misinformation, although it can always be put up for debate.
Thing is, many people would go for the simple, wrong answer rather than a complicated, nuanced, and close to correct one... and that is why they gain a lot of traction
@@simolator It's just easier to think of the world in simple terms. Less brain fuel that needs to be burned to maintain that headspace. That's why it's so easy to convince a lot of people of a simple solution to a problem if that group is not already familiar with the problem.
Ya know what would actually be Christ-like behavior? Criticizing the church for exploiting and hurting people and children. Criticizing “Christian” people for looking down and judging other people. Jesus did that A LOT. Also every time they plug their merch or Patreon gives the same energy as the people selling things in the temple in the Bible which Jesus made his point pretty clear by flipping tables and whipping people lmao.
I saw a version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" that was set in modern times, at the time of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I said, "That's interesting, they've reframed Jesus as an anti-capitalist protestor." My dad replied, "Jesus was always an anti-capitalist protestor."
Why does what society deems to be a woman change anything about her life? That’s what’s so baffling to me. The growing acceptance of trans women has changed NOTHING about my expression of my womanhood. If someone asks me my pronouns to be respectful, regardless of what I look like, that’s not gonna change how I feel about myself or any other aspect of my life. If someone who doesn’t look like your classic portrayal of a woman but identifies as a woman, that doesn’t affect me in the slightest. When people are asked to “define a woman” why does it even matter??
drag queens are FULL of vibrant colors and they have bubbly and interesting personalities. kids just naturally like that sort of thing, and even though some drag queens might be sexual during other times, that doesnt mean that they’re sexual around children. its like forbidding a relative from seeing your child because they have sex with their partner in private
I think Mickey Atkins put it the best when she said "they're literally afraid of their own brains" in one of her videos. The way they constantly tell on themselves is just so mortifying. 💀
I didn't have a traumatic religious upbringing or anything, but "freedom and clarity" are pretty much the last things my Roman Catholic childhood brought me. 😂
Americans losing their minds over drag, saying 'waa how dare they show the children' absolutely kills me. Britain has been 'exposing' children to drag on TV for decades and literally every child has watched at least one Xmas pantomime, which has at minimum 2 characters in drag (a drag queen as a supporting character like the fairy godmother + 'prinicpal boy' who is always a woman). Literally wholesome fun that's been going on forever, its nothing new!
Fun fact: Homosexuality was never intended to be a sin. When the Bible was being translated from Hebrew to English, the translator(s) mistook the part about adult-child relationships as same-sex relationships. To clarify, the Hebrew passage was saying that an adult-child relationship was a sin and not that homosexuality was a sin.
i forgot they existed. i remember my step mom bought me their book and it literally fucked me up dude. like, i struggle with body dysmorphia (im nonbinary) and ive been sexually assulted rather recently, and like that book really internalized a lot of hate for myself. i get slut shamed at least once or twice a week by my parents, but at least now im old enough to know how fucked it is. but those women really messed up little me
What makes me so mad and sad about this is that there are christian communities that are open and welcoming for LGBTQ+ people. In Sweden, the swedish church, have openly gay and lesbian priests (and other staff) and organizes special events during Pride week. And I have some openly queer friends working within the community. Ofc this isnt met w open arms by everyone, homophobia and transphobia still exists in society, but a LGBTQ+ friendly christian community IS possible!
16:27 they're both contradicting themselves. Like 10 minutes ago they said we're born in the immage on an invisible being that no one has physical proof even exists. And now they're saying that kids are developing their identity. I mean, you're right, kids are developing their identity, but did you not realize that you are contradicting yourself?
My friend and I give each other a bad christmas gift every year and this video made me think for a second to give her a girl defined shirt. But absolutely no way I am supporting these girls 😂😂 maybe I can find a knock off shirt for her of it.
The whole “we care about mental health” thing is so funny to me as a trans masc teen because I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown each day due to body/gender dysphoria since I’m not old enough to medically transition without my parents’ consent yet
I'll never forget how me and my dad got into an argument cause he said "I refuse to use a Trans person's pronouns cause it goes against my beliefs" huh????? After that me and my cousin made up a girl name for him and used she/her pronouns for him really pissed her off but it was worth it
I was taken to drag shows as a kid, i was even pulled on stage once. The only thing that happened was the queen thanking me for coming to the show, asking me if I wanted to dance to lady gaga, and complimenting my pride shirt. I never felt unsafe, my parents never felt that I was unsafe, she was not wearing anything sexual. I felt safer at those shows than I did at school.

They're afraid that it'll mean they the very thing they do to others, could be done to them. Exactly the same reason why white razists flip out when a bipoc person is represented in the media. It's delusionally fear based in regards to their own dominance in society.

Lol drag queens actually helped me embrace my femininity. I spent most of my youth trying to be the tomboy not-like-other-girls and drag queens, funnily enough, helped me see femininity through a different lens and appreciate it more
Yes! Watching Drag Race did it for me. They can sing, dance, act, be incredibly funny and talented, all while dressed extremely feminine in most cases. It helped boost my own confidence when wearing makeup and dressing feminine. I used to feel shy and demure
That's so interesting!
Mannnn, Drag queens are what made me learn how to vogue, Wear big platforms and have the most vibrat crazed makeup ever.
absolutely, i had the exact same experience, especially watching drag race. but also at the same time i was getting into activism and social issues and listening to trans people, especially trans women talk about womanhood and what it means to them also helped me embrace my femininity and understand it’s not a bad thing!! that’s why i hate this whole narrative about trans women taking away from womanhood, because i’ve literally always felt the opposite!!
Unironically, drag queens helped me break down some of my learned biases against certian feminine things(I would say stuff like "I'm not that kind of gay"). Later on drag kings(and other forms of drag performers) helped me, a gay man, have a better understanding of masculine(and non-gendered expression) things that I didn't allow myself to have(just as drag queens helped with the feminine things).
I think a lot of cishet men would benifit from drag kings becoming mainstream and an accepted form of expression.
Also, historical men's fashion maaking a comback through drag kings is exactly what men need nowadays, men's formal wear is so boring.
Man if I was a kid I would have LOVED drag queens. I’ve always been into fashion design and the extravagant looks would’ve blown my mind
Yeah, I feel like avant garde is equally as extra and eye-catching just in different ways, and I rarely see these kinds of people crying and screaming about other types fashion that isn't exclusively queer.

I don’t think adams rib surgery went well
Facts💀💀😭😭
Hold up, what? /pos
I’ve genuinely never thought about it like that. If God is “neither male nor female”, and Adam was made in God’s image, then yeah, he wouldn’t have been made defined into a specific gender role then. Then you take the rib out of Adam, which if you thought about it in the sense of growing DNA type of thing to make the same creature (referring to making a second human), Eve acting as a companion in the same way Adam acted as a companion yet being physically different…
Funky stuff. Thanks for the food for thought!

Right? It's mind boggling. Did he make a mistake or did someone else create trans and gay people? If it's the latter then why would christian rules apply to them?
@@annadarko6056 I once had this sort of conversation with a homophobic Christian and her response was something along the lines of "we're all born sinners and can only be saved by turning to Christ." And I was so genuinely confused. I guess she meant that gayness is a sin that you can just shed like a snake skin? That's so wild because while I'm not a Christian, I interpret sin to be living a life of serious crime without remorse or morals, not just wanting to bone the same gender as you lol. But why would God even create the concept of being gay if he hates it that much? Her response to that question was that God and sin are separate which boggled my mind even more because I thought he created everything...
They think that lgbt people are the enemy, therefore they not only did this to themselves but they deserve it. They don't blame god because god must be perfect. There's no way he'd make a mistake. There is no place in GDs heads for questioning that (or anything, really). Therefore it must be those peoples choice to stray from god. Even though god has a plan for everyone and is all knowing, so he knew what he was doing setting them up for failure. Even though humans have the gift of free will and choose their own path in life. The contradictions just never end.
@@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer You see, in their mind, god is all-powerful so every contradiction is just a 20 dimensional chess move on god's part to test humanity. Why he would do this and why you would want to turn to a god who is basically a dick for "mysterious reasons", is anyone's guess though.
@@fervor-craft exactly. There's even proof of how much of a dick he is in the old testament with Hiob. If God allegedly loves us all so much why did he do terrible things to him. Why would an all powerful and all knowing entity make a bet with the devil and torture someone just to prove something? The god in the old testament was way more about punishing and playing with people's lives than the new testament which seemed more about forgiveness, being less judgemental and having faith. It's almost as if those two were written by different people - very different people. Or did God have a change of heart? But that would mean he was wrong at some point.

I couldn't agree more with everything you said, specifically the comment about the regression of gay acceptance. I've been witnessing it firsthand in my family. My mother, who was so accepting and embracing when it was just me out of the closet, has now completely turned against the community now that my sister and two of her children have come out as gay or trans. And it's just...I'm at a loss. I don't understand why this is happening ☠️
im so sorry :(( ❤ stay stronk friend
I think it's because we're at cross currents between people whose political identity has mutated into a cult-like state. Wherein they will destroy everything around them, including themselves, in order to remain within a certain "in group" politically.
While this doesn't necessarily only happen to the right, especially terminally online conservatives, it's especially pronounced there.
It might be oversatuation for her. It’s like when people hate on popular shows because they’ve seen too much of it in the media. Perhaps she’ll get used to it and chill out as time goes on.
You have every right to be mad at your mom because ultimately she’s choosing bigoted beliefs over you, but if I had to guess it’s because some moderate conservatives were willing to tolerate a little difference because it didn’t effect them that much, and even though it still doesn’t, they increasingly feel left behind in a changing world. Most conservatives literally have a larger amygdala (fear center) than liberals and leftists and I imagine that fear increases as their understanding of their place in the world decreases. The more queer people she sees, the more it feels like the world is changing at large.
You're talking about people morphing into a cult like state whilst embracing the trans ideology? That has got to be a joke...... @@andrejg4136

Yeah, according to people like that, the only identity you're allowed to have is what the bible dictates and says you're allowed to have. It is a very sad and oppressive existence. So glad I got out when I did lol
Something that's always bothered me about these fundamentalists is how they always preach that we're all god's creation and that he created us the way we're supposed to be, but being lgbtq+ is somehow wrong. How do they know their god didn't create lgbtq+? Who are these people to question their god's creations? Because it isn't mentioned in the bible? The bible also doesn't mention using a toothbrush let alone sharing one and yet here we are.
Man shall not lie with man the way he lies with a woman and I think one other obscure verse they've twisted to mean gay equals sin lol They hinge all that hatred for millions upon millions of people because of a few words you could literally interpret any way. Not to mention the possibility of misinterpretation from the different versions and the different languages compared to the original text. But it's different and they don't understand therefore it must be wrong and unnatural so they'll lean heavily into confirmation biases.

Videos like these hit a lot closer to home for me. Christianity has given so much hope for me, my family, and so many others. I mean heck, thirty years ago my dad almost committed self-unalive, and the only thing that saved him was turning to Christ. My anxiety and depression would be so much harder to manage without faith in a greater Creator that keeps the world spinning so that I don't have to stress about it. That's why it always breaks my heart to see people like Girl Defined use it as a sword to cut down others.
As a sidenote, I find it interesting that a vast majority of Christians so transphobic when Eve - the literal FIRST WOMAN IN SCRIPTURE - was created from the rib of Adam. AKA, created from the flesh of a man.
So if you think about it, the argument could be made that Eve was the first trans woman, God gave our biology the ability to transition from male to female from day one. I think that if you ever gave that take to Girl Defined they would implode.
Sooo...yeah. Great video, love your content, keep being awesome!
big j? whos that? it kinda sounds like gods cool cousin
"God made them male and female" Hmmmm, as a non-binary self-proclaimed baddy, I think my existence checks out. I mean, I got testicles and chesticles and I use she/they pronouns, so who knows if God was using the singular they... and He capitalizes His pronouns. And there were eunichs, either self made or born that way and sometimes were part of religious ceremonies? I'm not too sure on my limited biblical knowledge.
Also, for funsies and jokesies, it was originally Adam and Steve, Eve took the "St" out of her name so "Steve" is her deadname. God swapped out a gay couple with a straight couple where Eve is either considered trans, intersex, or both and Adam was a cishet man. Change my mind (:
@@geminiwolf0077 Some rabbis (and non-rabbis, probably) actually interpret "God made them male and female" in that exact way. Records of this interpretation date back to as early as the 4th century CE, in part of the Talmud (that specific interpretation being that the first man and woman were initially created as one dual-sexed being that God then split into two)

What SHE thinks is right IS right, end of story, and everyone else should think the same. Like girl, the call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE here, cmon.
As someone who's worked with over 50 children ages 0-8 I can tell you that they are not confused in the slightest by any lgbt+ views. The clothes are just cloth to them and as long as its fun and joyful, they love it. A girl once told a little boy in my work "oh I dont think you can wear this, it's a girl dress" while we were having dress up and play time. I told them calmly that a dress is a dress and anyone who likes it can wear it,as there's no such things as girl/boy dresses. They both looked at me and said "OK". Boy was happy in his dress and girl wore a shark costume and forgot about it. Simple. Kids only know what we teach them.
The amount of self control it takes for me to not maliciously misgender every cis person who says they "don't have pronouns" should have earned me a nobel peace prize by now.

I went to a pride event when I was 11, there was a family-friendly drag show with a sign language translator. There were lots of aspiring queer singers that performed before the drag show. During the drag show, I saw a large audience that included people of all ages, genders, and sexualities. I met a married couple, a man and a woman who had toddlers with them watching the drag show.
Do they really think drag queens twerk in front of children at family-friendly shows like... there's a reason those events are for children, and if people take their children to shows that are not appropriate for young kids, that's a parenting issue and applies to all shows/events, not just ones where drag queens are participating😑
Yeah I agree with you on this one I think the right wingers show some drag show clips on tv like the drags being wildly inappropriate in front of children that the bad parents took them in. which those shows are for adults but these conservative news reporter thinks that's every drag shows that are mistakenly labeled family friendly so they can easily prey on your kids but that's so not true .
I am thoroughly convinced these two are so afraid of just respecting people’s pronouns or gender identity or supporting who they want to be, because they don’t want to look at themselves and realize “oh wait. I’m not actually living a life that I’m happy with. I’m not happy with who I am right now. If I try to understand myself, everything could change.”
They even basically said it out right in the video!
“Now you have a thousand options of who you can be, and that’s scary!”
When she says “you’re not alone in wanting to believe in something unchanging in someone unchanging” I literally laughed out loud….honey boo boo if Christianity never changed you would have probably already been stoned 😂

Turning to Jesus was my prescription by church counselors after I had some traumatic events happen in my life, after 4 years I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with PTSD. I can say from experience I did the shit out of all the Jesus things, scripture study and prayers daily, it didn't cure my very real problems. A shocking conclusion I know, but maybe addressing the problems is best 💁♀
Exactly.
It’s only after you’ve reached a state where you’re more mentally stable and open to change that you’re willing to take such a gigantic step that is turning to Jesus.
I have severe depression and anxiety and was religion averse becauseI associated it with cultish bigoted fanatics. It took me until revenge to accept Christ into my life but only because I was in a place where I was ready for change and was willing to commit to it.
Had I been doing this if I were mentally unstable, I would’ve became the same out of touch fanatic that I loathed.
God has a timing when it comes to finding him. You just need to take the time to find it before you take that next step.
I know that wasn’t the point you were trying to make but I thought it would be nice to address it.
I can tell you there is no where I have felt more safe to be myself and welcomed to express my joy than a drag show. If that’s grooming, open a salon bc I’m making a standing appointment

Yeah, total fucking dorks, they have the audacity to think that their specific little gender binary with their impractically strict and suspiciously victorian gender norms is somehow eternal and naturally engrained into the programming of all people since the beginning of time by the creator of the universe himself.

I saw a version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" that was set in modern times, at the time of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I said, "That's interesting, they've reframed Jesus as an anti-capitalist protestor." My dad replied, "Jesus was always an anti-capitalist protestor."
When it comes to children, the big thing is to make them feel that they are not alone and that there’s a place for them
Why does what society deems to be a woman change anything about her life? That’s what’s so baffling to me. The growing acceptance of trans women has changed NOTHING about my expression of my womanhood. If someone asks me my pronouns to be respectful, regardless of what I look like, that’s not gonna change how I feel about myself or any other aspect of my life. If someone who doesn’t look like your classic portrayal of a woman but identifies as a woman, that doesn’t affect me in the slightest. When people are asked to “define a woman” why does it even matter??
drag queens are FULL of vibrant colors and they have bubbly and interesting personalities. kids just naturally like that sort of thing, and even though some drag queens might be sexual during other times, that doesnt mean that they’re sexual around children. its like forbidding a relative from seeing your child because they have sex with their partner in private
Girl declined should be their new name.
"im gonna do a transphobia" 💀🖐🏻
also I think having "thousands of options" of who I want to be is liberating, not "scary". Imagine being this sheltered and terrified of everything.
I think Mickey Atkins put it the best when she said "they're literally afraid of their own brains" in one of her videos. The way they constantly tell on themselves is just so mortifying. 💀
I didn't have a traumatic religious upbringing or anything, but "freedom and clarity" are pretty much the last things my Roman Catholic childhood brought me. 😂
Americans losing their minds over drag, saying 'waa how dare they show the children' absolutely kills me. Britain has been 'exposing' children to drag on TV for decades and literally every child has watched at least one Xmas pantomime, which has at minimum 2 characters in drag (a drag queen as a supporting character like the fairy godmother + 'prinicpal boy' who is always a woman). Literally wholesome fun that's been going on forever, its nothing new!
And that is why all of Britain is gay!!!
Great point! Benny Hill, anyone?😊
Girl Defined makes me lose every shred I had left of faith in humanity
you and fundie fridays both uploading girl defined videos on the same day is a work of god
Fun fact: Homosexuality was never intended to be a sin. When the Bible was being translated from Hebrew to English, the translator(s) mistook the part about adult-child relationships as same-sex relationships. To clarify, the Hebrew passage was saying that an adult-child relationship was a sin and not that homosexuality was a sin.

17:25 you telling that only "cis women are real women" is much more sêxualising than Carla reading a book to our daughter.
i forgot they existed. i remember my step mom bought me their book and it literally fucked me up dude. like, i struggle with body dysmorphia (im nonbinary) and ive been sexually assulted rather recently, and like that book really internalized a lot of hate for myself. i get slut shamed at least once or twice a week by my parents, but at least now im old enough to know how fucked it is. but those women really messed up little me
I hope you start to get/feel better! ❤
People like girl defined are so stupid.
What makes me so mad and sad about this is that there are christian communities that are open and welcoming for LGBTQ+ people. In Sweden, the swedish church, have openly gay and lesbian priests (and other staff) and organizes special events during Pride week. And I have some openly queer friends working within the community. Ofc this isnt met w open arms by everyone, homophobia and transphobia still exists in society, but a LGBTQ+ friendly christian community IS possible!
16:27 they're both contradicting themselves. Like 10 minutes ago they said we're born in the immage on an invisible being that no one has physical proof even exists. And now they're saying that kids are developing their identity. I mean, you're right, kids are developing their identity, but did you not realize that you are contradicting yourself?
My friend and I give each other a bad christmas gift every year and this video made me think for a second to give her a girl defined shirt. But absolutely no way I am supporting these girls 😂😂 maybe I can find a knock off shirt for her of it.
just get a custom shirt that says "girl defined" on it in comic sans
She really said that making up pronouns is ridiculous when the entirety of the English language [and human language as a whole] is made up 😔
It's great to see they've grown from regular creepy christian stuff to megachurch level merch plugging creepy stuff
I accidentally read "Girl Defined's *Wattpad* view on Womanhood" and I was genuinely concerned
I read it as "Girl Defined's Warped View on Wattpad" and I went "ummmm"
The whole “we care about mental health” thing is so funny to me as a trans masc teen because I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown each day due to body/gender dysphoria since I’m not old enough to medically transition without my parents’ consent yet
The way girl defined described events with drag queens is so upsetting. I would have loved to have had a drag queen story time growing up. 🥺
I'll never forget how me and my dad got into an argument cause he said "I refuse to use a Trans person's pronouns cause it goes against my beliefs" huh????? After that me and my cousin made up a girl name for him and used she/her pronouns for him really pissed her off but it was worth it
I was taken to drag shows as a kid, i was even pulled on stage once. The only thing that happened was the queen thanking me for coming to the show, asking me if I wanted to dance to lady gaga, and complimenting my pride shirt. I never felt unsafe, my parents never felt that I was unsafe, she was not wearing anything sexual. I felt safer at those shows than I did at school.
“now you have a THOUSAND options for who you can be-“
this- this is a bad thing??
annas hair looks better than my life ever will istg anna drop that hair care routine already
“Reclaiming womanhood” she says, defining womanhood specifically in the exact way that first wave feminism opposed. The way imposed on women.
Listening to sinmas while designing 5 different OC’s at once is a wonderful experience 😌
