So well, that's good. I'm glad it didn't ruin anyone's time 113 00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:22,100 It's just people being stupid and ignorant. Yeah 114 00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:28,820 When I hear when someone does that to me, it just reminds me of an immature person just trolling online 115 00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:31,380 in online games 116 00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:34,420 Yeah, I don't probably the same person actually.

So let's go to your church. I don't know 125 00:09:06,420 --> 00:09:11,300 But I think the majority of people's response to him was actually really surprising 126 00:09:11,540 --> 00:09:14,660 So you had the religious person that was spewing hate 127 00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:20,820 Just pure hate and then the whole parade was like clapping and cheering and chanting like we love you 128 00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:23,940 Yes, I was like it should be the other way around right?

Well to be fair, we do not know it was bulletproof 144 00:10:32,580 --> 00:10:39,300 I think it was more like tin foil to keep like the rainbows from penetrating him. Oh, okay. I mean, yeah 145 00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:43,380 He did if he wasn't wearing that protective armor and gear 146 00:10:43,380 --> 00:10:48,180 He would have definitely it would the parade would have turned him gay. Oh, yeah like 147 00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:50,260 guaranteed 148 00:10:50,260 --> 00:10:54,740 The shades the cowboy hat the mil the combat boots all necessary 149 00:10:55,540 --> 00:10:58,340 Oh, he was he was trying to like protect his 150 00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:01,220 Masculinity right there very much.

Yeah 157 00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:31,860 It just makes me wonder what Seattle Pride's gonna be about and by the way, we might be at Seattle Pride 158 00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:37,620 That might be oh, we're gonna go.

Everyone should have a therapist 531 00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:08,700 I will also say that 532 00:36:09,420 --> 00:36:16,140 You know don't just always agree with your therapist like kind of like reflect and see like does that is that actually true? 533 00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:18,140 Like does that resonate with me? 534 00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:20,060 because 535 00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:23,020 whenever like previously in therapy 536 00:36:23,820 --> 00:36:29,580 if someone said something like oh like do you think it's uh, blah blah blah and 537 00:36:29,660 --> 00:36:35,420 It's either like in an instant like oh shit. You are right. Yep, or it's kind of like a 538 00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:38,060 Uh, you know, i'm not really sure about that 539 00:36:38,140 --> 00:36:44,300 Well, I think some people go to a therapist and they're like, I don't know. Tell me what to do and the therapist 540 00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:49,500 Is like that's not my job. Yeah, I can give you advice on what I think you should do. Yeah 541 00:36:51,340 --> 00:36:52,860 Here you go 542 00:36:52,860 --> 00:36:55,100 Even if you're using therapy as just like venting 543 00:36:55,900 --> 00:37:01,340 It's healthy. Yeah, it's healthy to have someone that's not in your life at all 544 00:37:02,300 --> 00:37:05,660 To listen to your problems because they can give you an unbiased opinion 545 00:37:05,660 --> 00:37:10,780 They can be like hey, you know, you're kind of being a little ridiculous or they can be like no you 546 00:37:10,780 --> 00:37:16,860 You I I agree with you totally, you know, like you're not being ridiculous. You should be asking for this and that you know 547 00:37:17,980 --> 00:37:21,100 Therapy is great. It's just healing 548 00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:27,340 And i'm not saying and and that's another misconception is that once you get therapists you have to see them all the time all the time 549 00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:29,900 You can go for a couple sessions 550 00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:31,660 Take a break 551 00:37:31,660 --> 00:37:34,380 Go back for a couple more sessions take another break 552 00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:37,900 That's their profession they're gonna be there 553 00:37:37,900 --> 00:37:44,140 So therapy, yeah therapy we advocate for therapy brought to you by therapy 554 00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:47,500 No 555 00:37:48,380 --> 00:37:53,100 But for as far as like people thinking that they're trans and 556 00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:57,260 Coming out. I know whenever I was questioning that I started 557 00:37:57,820 --> 00:38:03,820 Talking to trans people interacting with more trans women because I I thought I was a trans woman 558 00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:06,460 um and watching um 559 00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:10,860 A lot because back then we didn't have you couldn't just google i'm trans. What do I do? 560 00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:13,660 Like this was like 10 years ago 12 years ago 561 00:38:14,380 --> 00:38:15,420 um 562 00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:17,420 So we had to find other people 563 00:38:17,820 --> 00:38:22,700 back then we had youtube youtube definitely had a lot of trans creators and I 564 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,140 Consumed a lot of youtube and I just went into a deep dive as we say into 565 00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:34,700 Trans creators in youtube. They all had things that related to me, you know as far as like 566 00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:35,920 questioning 567 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,360 Whether or not I wanted to be a guy, you know, it's just 568 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,120 When you find people that you can connect with 569 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,640 You're it's like holy crap. I'm not weird 570 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,200 I'm not the only one 571 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,840 You don't feel like it's some kind of weird alien or something 572 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,080 And after that i've not that's why I went to find therapy 573 00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:59,200 Because I wanted to confirm what I found 574 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,160 Yeah, it's nice to know that other people 575 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,720 Like you and the world exists it's 576 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,440 Feels a little less alone. Yeah 577 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,160 Therapy can be intimidating it was for me 578 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,160 So that's why I went for youtube creators and watching other trans women that are in the public eye and seeing 579 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,360 Trying to compare my life to theirs 580 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:25,600 And then from there you can go like well, you know, I think i'm trans I need a therapist 581 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,960 It's baby steps don't just 582 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,000 Pop the hormones in your mouth right away 583 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,320 the egg days 584 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,320 Yeah, we call them eggs 585 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,840 I remember being an egg me too. Yeah, I think um, I think in general people 586 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,920 There's a huge like stigmatism against like mental health. Um 587 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,720 I know like I was raised that you think oh, yeah, I know 588 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,960 But I was definitely raised that like men we do not talk about our feelings 589 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,680 Like it's more acceptable to go and like drink it away and bury it deep inside 590 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,480 But like you should never show weakness and you should never 591 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,200 like talk about your feelings like 592 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,080 But it's just not healthy, you know, and I I think society is changing 593 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,360 But it does start with us. I think like the more people that 594 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:22,160 Like and also be open about it. Like hey, you know what? Like yeah, i'm going to therapy 595 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,360 Yeah, and you know people might be like what you why like 596 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,200 How does that work? You know, you kind of like open up like other people's eyes to 597 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:36,400 Like therapy is not yeah, you don't have to be there's not have to be an issue with you. Yeah, I like 598 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,480 That's so funny that that's where we're at with therapy and 599 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:47,440 This social stigmatism around it that when you say you're having that you're going to a therapist people are like what's wrong? 600 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:50,480 There could be literally no 601 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,680 There could be literally nothing wrong and you see a therapist 602 00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:02,720 Just a vent about your daily life stress, which is completely healthy and I have contemplated doing it many of times 603 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:10,400 Because you don't want to dump all your stress inventing feeling vented feelings on a friend.
