| We're going to take a look at some viral videos and TikTok videos the kids are passing around on the internet this week. | |
| These are videos that have been sent to me by my producers, specifically McKenna. | |
| And she has sent me a lot of Dylan Mulvaney stuff because I guess she, you know, as usual, is trying to get me into even more trouble. | |
| So I'm only looking at the description here. | |
| And they sent me this clip sheet. | |
| This is all... It's a clip 20. | |
| Dylan raps about being a girl. | |
| Okay it's day 200 of being a girl and I think we can agree that it's been a whirlwind. | |
| I have a tendency to overshare my life and y'all are still watching. | |
| How cool is that? | |
| Once upon a time I was a boy who had ADHD and now I'm a girl who still has ADHD. | |
| I really like possums and twilight and pretzels. | |
| I accidentally became an influencer! | |
| Now here we are. | |
| Girlhood has had its ups and its downs, and here's what I've learned so far. | |
| Women are awesome, but can also be cruel. | |
| I'm doing my best, and boys, they kinda drool. | |
| My hormones are wild, and my boobs kinda sore. | |
| It's only day 200. | |
| We have so much more to experience together. | |
| We're just getting started. | |
| Thank you for being my friend. | |
| You're open-hearted. | |
| I don't feel so alone. | |
| No more shame and carefree. | |
| Being a girl is awesome. | |
| Would you agree? | |
| Woo-hoo! | |
| Woo-hoo! | |
| Love ya! | |
| Why would you do that to me? | |
| Why would you do that to me? | |
| Uh, I... I think I've said all about this guy. | |
| That needs to be said. | |
| Or that can be said. | |
| I am interested in... Well, not really interested, but I'm slightly curious about... I like possums and pretzels. | |
| Like... The two most random... | |
| Possible, you like possums, what does that mean? | |
| You know what, we're just gonna move on. | |
| So today was our first day back from spring break and I told all my students that my pronouns are they them and that my honorific is mix. | |
| A few of my students had some questions and we were able to talk about those. | |
| But I wanted to tell you about two of my students that just made my heart sing and made me feel so validated. | |
| One of them, she put in the chat, ah, I'm so proud of you! | |
| And then one of my other students, maybe like half an hour after we had talked about that, had a question and put in the chat, Mix, da-da-da-da-da, here's my question. | |
| And it was just So validating to see mix pop up on the screen instead of miss and I just made my day. | |
| You know, it really, uh, it really, it cannot be emphasized enough how perverse, I mean, obviously all of this is perverse, but just the very idea that You are seeking validation from not only kids, but the kids you're supposed to be teaching. | |
| You are supposed to be providing a service to the child by teaching the child, and therefore to the parents and to the community. | |
| That's what you're supposed to be doing. | |
| And yet they become forums, or you have now put on them the burden of validation. | |
| So I think we spent a lot of time talking about how it, you know, being called mix is a total gibberish. | |
| It doesn't make any sense to feel validated by that. | |
| That is a bizarre and ridiculous thing to be validated by. | |
| Of course, that's true. | |
| But also, just, just... | |
| That you want to be validated at all by the kids. | |
| That you are putting that on them. | |
| That's not their burden. | |
| In fact, it's not anyone's burden. | |
| It's not anyone's job to validate you in that sense. | |
| And I still, you know, people make this point all the time when we see these videos of teachers. | |
| But it's a good point. | |
| I think back to when I was a kid. | |
| And it's like you didn't know anything about your teachers. | |
| You didn't know anything about their private life. | |
| It didn't come up. | |
| They didn't talk about it. | |
| There's no reason to talk about it. | |
| As far as you were concerned, your teacher lived at the school and the teacher was like some sort of vampire or something that they cart out from the basement and then bring up into the classroom and then bring back down. | |
| That's what you thought. | |
| As far as you're concerned, the teachers lived there. | |
| And then if you saw a teacher somewhere else, if you saw them at the grocery store, if you saw them in civilian clothes, anywhere else, it was mind-blowing. | |
| And that's actually how it should be, because what that shows... Of course, as a child, it's an absurd kind of view that you have of your teacher, but... | |
| What it shows is that there are appropriate boundaries in place between you and the teacher. | |
| And what this shows is that there are no boundaries at all. | |
| And that you are seeking validation from kids. | |
| You know, you should be providing emotional support in an appropriate way. | |
| You know, you've heard me talk about how important it is to have a VPN to protect your online privacy, but choosing a VPN you trust is equally as important. | |

| If I work somewhere and I express to a number of people what my pronouns are, and I'm working there for like six months, um... | |
| I shouldn't have to explicitly tell every single person. | |
| I work there for like six months or more. | |
| Okay, so we have another person complaining about being misgendered. | |
| This actually reminded me of a video that I had a couple days ago and we didn't get a chance to play. | |
| And so these two videos kind of tie together. | |
| They almost look like similar people, different hairstyle anyway. | |
| But here's another person complaining about being misgendered. | |
| And there's an important point to be made from this, but let's watch this first. | |
| You know what I don't get? | |
| Is why people still see me as a woman. | |
| What more could I be doing? | |
| I literally got my titties off. | |
| I don't think I look like a woman. | |
| So why does everybody? | |
| Well, people still see you as a woman because you are one, and this only goes to show that it actually does not boil down to any individual body part. | |
| That side accuses us of doing that. | |
| They accuse us of just sort of, like, reducing people to their body parts and all of that, you know? | |
| So when you say that, well, a man has a penis, they say, well, that's reductive to say that's all. | |
| But then, of course, the irony and the self-contradiction, as always, is that that's exactly what they do because they think, well, remove a couple body parts or change some body parts, you know, and then you're, you know, not only will you look like the other Sex, but you actually will be the other sex. | |
| We're the ones saying no, it doesn't work that way. | |
| Okay? | |
| Now, it's true that, for example, men have penises. | |
| That's a correct statement. | |
| But that's not the only physical difference between men and women. | |
| So even if a man is castrated, he's still a man and will still look like a man. | |
| And the same is true for women also. | |
| Because your entire body is a woman. | |
| And we can just see that. | |
| We can see that in your shoulders. | |
| We can see it in your facial structure. | |
| You know, you can see it in your hands. | |
| You can see, you see, it's your entire body. | |
| That's what it is. | |
| And you cannot escape it. | |
| And you shouldn't try to escape it. | |
| And also, doctors shouldn't be doing that to anyone at all. |
