I want to be black and I'm going to identify as black.
Would you accept that?
If that's what you believed you truly are, I can't tell you anything.
I don't know what's up in here.
You would seriously tell me, yeah, yeah, you're black.
If you believed you were black, I'm not going to disagree with you.
Would you go around saying I'm your black friend?
If that's what you want to be.
Oh, come on, guys.
No, you would not.
No, you would not.
If we can just be whatever we want, you guys would seriously sit there and say, yeah, hey, mom, I'm bringing my black friend to dinner.
And I walk in, we're all going to pretend like I'm black?
If that's who you think you are and that's who you believe you are, I'm not going to tell you anything different.
If I identified as black, would you affirm me in that and call me black?
No.
Why not?
Because you're not black.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, if I said I was a man and I said I identify as a man, would you accept that and affirm me in that?
*cough* *cough* *crickets*
Stay the mayor.
Okay, and are you a drag queen?
Yes, I am from St. Petersburg originally from New York.
Okay, well, you came from New York to Florida.
You live here.
Okay, when did you move to Florida?
About 15 years ago.
Okay, all right.
Well, well.
Great.
That's perfect.
That's perfect.
Trump just said this the other day, and I want you to correct him and set him straight on it.
Okay.
No matter how many surgeries you have or chemicals you inject, if you're born with male DNA, you can never become a woman.
People are born trans.
It's not something that they just do for the hell of it.
So trans lives matter, and no one's going to tell us, and my trans brothers and sisters, anything different.
My trans brothers and sisters, anything different.
Okay, all right.
So you would obviously disagree with this.
I would completely disagree, yes.
What would you like to say to him to correct him on this really awful statement?
He should probably meet some trans people and talk to them.
He probably doesn't know anybody, that's why.
He just assumes.
Right.
So if you say that people are born trans, what about the people who go through that lifestyle style and then end up detransitioning and regretting what they had done to their body?
I don't know anyone who's done that.
Well, there's one her name's Chloe Cole.
She's a perfect example.
I follow her and she follows me on Instagram.
She's someone that did that at a young age and now regrets everything she did to her body.
Is it because the world's telling her that she's not special enough?
I don't know.
She says that that's she was talked into it.
She says that she was kind of groomed into that lifestyle online and she did all the things that they said that she should do to make her happy and it didn't make her happy.
And so she finally detransitioned and now she has permanent damage because of what she did to her body and she regrets it.
I mean I don't know what to say about that.
But do you think that she was born trans?
I think people are born trans.
They were just born in the wrong body and there's nothing wrong with that.
Right.
So he said if you have male DNA you can never become a woman.
Does DNA define womanhood?
No.
What does?
Your mind and your soul.
Okay.
What is a woman?
A woman is a powerful creature.
Well, an eagle is a powerful creature and so is a lion, but are they women?
Women are just beautiful.
I agree.
I agree.
Some women are beautiful, but how do you know they're women?
How does anybody know what they are really?
You think there's, we probably don't know.
There's no way to tell if we're women or men?
It's in your mind of what you believe.
I don't.
If someone believed that they were a woman, what would they believe that they were?
They would believe that they were born to be themselves.
Do you think there's any component to womanhood that goes along with your body?
Is there any component in your body, in your DNA, or how you are genetically and scientifically that makes a woman a woman?
No.
No.
So a woman is just some idea Out there floating around.
Anyone could be anything they want to be today.
So there's no, no one should tell anyone who they are and what they are.
You believe who you want to be and you live your best life.
It's all about just living your best life and your real self.
If I want to be a black man, would you call me a black man?
I know people that tend themselves and wear afros because they believe they're a black man.
I'm not going through any transitioning.
I want to be black and I'm going to identify as black.
Would you accept that?
If that's what you believed you truly are, I can't tell you anything.
I don't know what's up in here.
You would seriously tell me, yeah, yeah, you're black.
If you believed you were black, I am not going to disagree with you.
But I would be delusional because I'm obviously not black.
I'm obviously not a woman.
How do you know that?
I'm a drag queen.
How do you know?
How do you know you're not a woman?
Because I don't feel feminine.
Would you let me, would you go around saying I'm your black friend?
If that's what you want to be.
Oh, come on, guys.
No, you would not.
No, you would not.
So if I told you I am a black man, you would literally.
No, no, no, I'm not talking about non-binary.
I'm sorry.
If we can just be whatever we want, you guys would seriously sit there and say, yeah, hey, mom, I'm bringing my black friend to dinner.
And I walk in, we're all going to pretend like I'm black.
If that's who you think you are and that's who you believe you are, I'm not going to tell you anything different.
Hey, dog, I'm Caitlin Bennett.
I identify as a black man.
All right.
Well, come on, guys.
You should not lie to your friends.
You do not look like a black man.
Because I'm not a black man.
But if you believe you are, then you should tell me the truth and not let me live in that delusion.
If that's who you believe you are, I'm black.
Then I'm wrong.
Then I'm wrong.
Then I would be wrong because I'm not a black man, right?
You are not.
But if you believe you are and want to live that lifestyle, who am I to tell you anything?
I don't want to live the lifestyle of a black man.
I just believe in having respect for everybody and what they want.
Yeah.
Someone's not going to tell me I'm not a drag queen.
Well, yeah, you're a drag queen, but you're not a woman.
I'm not a woman.
Yeah, no, but you're pretending you're doing a caricature of one.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I have a question.
We're having a debate over here.
If I identified as black, would you affirm me in that and call me black?
No.
Why not?
Because you're not black.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, if I said I was a man and I said I identify as a man, would you accept that and affirm me in that?
It depends.
Are you transitioning or not?
Are you just like right from the beginning?
I'm a man.
If you were, if you were, like I said, if you're on testosterone and like we're in the transition, if I could visibly see that you were making a change, yeah, but like for now, it's like, you're just poking the bear or kind of trying to fight with me about it.
No, I don't want to fight with you.
I just thank you for not saying that I'm black because that would be a lie.
Oh, yeah.
Just like me saying I'm a man would be a lie, no matter how much testosterone I took.
Thank you for your time.
I appreciate you.
It's just our YouTube channel.
So I think it's funny that I can become a man on the flip of a switch.
I can wake up and say I'm a man.
But if I wake up and say that I'm black and I deserve all the perks that black people get and all the programs that they get and everything like that, the black man says no.
But the drag queen has to stick with being so progressive and so in their ideology because this is an ideology that they believe in.
He was going so far as to tell me and lie to me and say that I was black.
It is absolute delusion.
I am not black.
I cannot be a man.
I cannot be either of those things because that is not who I am.
And I wish that we could just be honest with each other.
Anyway, just a lot of cuberness going on around here.
