    massive infertile is caused purposely by environment toxins especially in food and medicine. A situation that makes huge profits for the medical industrial complex, big pharma etc. Assuring only wealthy people can breed, or non wealthy go into crushing debt. This is eugenics. This is racism disguised. Surrogacy is absolutely needed, but it's a need created by design by the dominant culture. We need to clean up our bodies, clean up our food , reject the dominant culture and their products.

true allies must support the trans community, not just individuals. 24:06 🧔 Hyper-masculinity in Black men may contribute to hostility towards trans individuals due to societal expectations. 25:19 ⚔️ The internalized homophobia in some Black men leads to fear of being perceived as non-masculine when interacting with trans people. 26:06 🤨 White cisgender men may feel more emboldened to act harmfully due to their perceived societal privilege. 27:25 📉 Navigating professional spaces often requires code-switching and dealing with the risks of being marginalized. 28:25 ⚠️ Trans individuals frequently have to advocate for themselves, often encountering dismissive or harmful responses. 29:53 👜 White men may leverage their privilege in relationships, treating trans individuals as disposable. 31:07 💬 Trans individuals are not obligated to disclose their identity but should prioritize their safety when considering it. 32:43 🕵️‍♀️ Safety checks and open discussions about trans identities can help mitigate risks when dating. 34:36 🚫 Disclosing trans identities can lead to harmful reactions, reflecting deeper societal issues of transphobia and misogyny. 35:23 🎬 Media representation of trans individuals often perpetuates harmful stereotypes and fails to offer new narratives. 37:55 ❤️ Positive depictions of intimacy in media are rare but can help shift societal perceptions of trans relationships. 39:09 🗣️ Communication about respect and boundaries is vital when dating a trans person to foster understanding. 39:59 🤝 Building friendships with trans individuals can deepen understanding and appreciation of their experiences. 40:04 💬 Checking in with your partner regularly fosters intimacy and understanding. 40:10 🧠 Recognize that not all trans individuals have the same self-awareness or advocacy skills. 40:28 🔄 It's essential to create a supportive space for partners to express themselves and evolve. 41:02 🎉 Prioritizing comfort and open communication enhances the enjoyment of intimacy. 41:45 🛋️ Therapy can help individuals understand their needs and unpack internalized issues. 42:36 📖 Journaling and discussing past relationships can clarify personal boundaries and expectations. 42:54 ⏳ Long wait times for therapy are common; it's beneficial to get on waitlists as soon as possible. 43:30 🚩 Be mindful of red flags in dating, such as fetishizing or objectifying trans partners. 44:38 🌟 Healthy relationships involve seeing your partner as a whole person, not just their trans identity. 45:04 💔 Heartbreak is a valuable teacher regarding personal boundaries and relationship dynamics. 45:26 ⚠️ Caution is advised when dating significantly older individuals due to potential predatory behavior. 46:09 🚫 Relationships based solely on fetishization are unlikely to be healthy or fulfilling. 47:04 🔍 Healthy relationships require mutual interest beyond superficial attractions or identities. 48:17 🎶 Follow King on Instagram and check out Miss Miles for trans advocacy and makeup services. 49:02 📺 Explore more about the Black Trans experience through additional resources linked in the description.

    00:00 🏳️‍🌈 The speaker emphasizes that queer advocates don't want to "groom" kids but want to support clean, safe environments for children. 00:37 🎙️ Caleb Robertson, a queer and trans advocate and drag performer, joins the podcast to discuss representation and dealing with anti-trans protests. 01:53 🗳️ The podcast sets the political context, explaining recent Canadian anti-trans policies and protests fueled by a mix of Christian and Muslim conservatives. 03:02 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Caleb shares emotional experiences from a counter-protest, highlighting the strange feeling of needing to defend basic rights, like the right to exist. 05:24 🚸 Caleb reflects on seeing parents at protests holding signs about ownership over their children, noting a recurring anti-vaxxer presence in unrelated protests. 05:41 🎭 Caleb describes performing at drag story times and the surreal experience of needing police protection for what is meant to be a joyful, inclusive event. 08:03 🛑 Caleb expresses sadness over the harm caused by protests and the fear that children raised in hateful environments will internalize negative views about queer people. 08:43 🤝 Allies are essential to creating safe spaces, with many attendees at drag story times being straight and cisgender families who value exposure to diversity. 09:18 📚 Story times focus on messages of acceptance and diversity, not on explicit queer topics, contrary to protesters' claims. 11:12 👶 Caleb argues that children should be allowed to express themselves freely and that being trans or queer is not indoctrination but a natural expression of identity. 13:45 💔 It’s heartbreaking to see children brought to hate-filled protests, and Caleb fears the long-term emotional damage this could cause. 15:08 👗 Caleb recounts how gender non-conforming appearances, like wearing a dress, are natural and should be accepted without judgment. 17:24 🌈 Caleb stresses that children should be exposed to positive, inclusive environments and not made to endure bullying or trauma first. 18:18 🏫 Caleb highlights the importance of schools as safe spaces for queer kids, countering the focus on "parental rights" with an emphasis on kids' rights. 20:00 🚫 Trans people are real and not dismissed by scripture; attempts to deny their existence lack textual support. 20:28 💻 Most kids learn about gender ideology and LGBTQ+ topics online or from friends, not through school curricula. 21:12 📚 The Ontario curriculum introduces sexual orientation in Grade 5, focusing on body autonomy and consent. 21:44 🏳️‍🌈 Kids can learn about gender identity in Grade 8, which is appropriate for their developmental stage. 22:39 🚸 Younger kids exploring their gender identity doesn’t equate to medical intervention; it's about self-discovery. 23:03 🚻 Gender-neutral bathrooms are a practical solution for inclusion without compromising safety. 23:50 🔍 The fear of trans people causing harm in bathrooms is unfounded and distracts from real issues of consent and assault. 26:22 🏡 Homes should be safe spaces for kids, free from bullying and judgment about their identities. 30:41 📖 Parents should actively engage with diverse materials and discussions to create a safe environment for their kids. 32:31 ❤️ Positive feedback from parents and kids fuels the motivation of queer creators, highlighting the importance of support. 33:38 🌍 It’s crucial to inform ourselves and have difficult discussions to protect LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms. 36:05 ✨ Trans youth should know their existence is valid and they are loved, despite societal challenges.

    I wonder, if it would be better to remove 2S from 2SLGBTQI+ if indigenous communities feel there is a disconnection and misrepresentation on it being there? I also feel all the 2 spirited I have meet are part of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. My understanding was that the 2S was at the front of the acronym to acknowledge that the indigenous communities are still being oppressed and marginalized in Canada. Also to acknowledge they were the first on this land. Edit: We only use 2SLGBTQI+ is only used in Canada. In America I seen LGBTQIA+ acronym instead.

      I think it depends on what you define as queer. For us, I think it goes beyond sexuality and gender. It’s an identity that you take on when you break out of societal norms

    It doesn’t matter whether it’s undetectable or not, it’s morally wrong to have sex with someone without disclosing your HIV positive status. The guy who got mad about it wasn’t in the wrong, and acting like he was is insane. You realize how bad the optics are on this? You’ve given right-wingers ammo to use against the groups you claim to advocate for. This absurd discourse doesn’t actually help whatsoever. No one is going to be persuaded to change their worldview from this, it’s just bouncing around in an echo chamber.

    This is such a gross and ignorant take, and it makes me so angry, yes queer women have been subjugated to oppression outside of being LGBT+ but that doesn't mean that queer women have experienced more severe oppression overall. Idk about the US but in the UK lesbianism wasn't believed to be "real" by people like Queen Victoria, this lead to homophobic laws only targetting queer men. This often meant physical violence, castration and in most cases the death penalty only happened to men. Sure queer women had to deal with being queer and being a woman but a lot of prejudice they experienced made them invisible to the same treatments queer men received at the time.

    This is why people think bi women are cheaters. I get it you found out ur bi in a 8 year relationship with a man, but that doesn’t mean u have to go out and sleep with another person. You kinda ruined your 8year relationship. It’s sad really. I’m bisexual in a heterosexual relationship but I would never get with someone else just to experience a certain genital. That’s weird and greedy. Non monogamous relationships are beautiful too, but the way they went about it is not how it’s done.

    There is not a single positive thing about being fat, only negatives. Why would anyone, who is fat not want to lose weight? Being fat is unhealthy, unattractive, limits your ability to move, it only has downsides.

    You don't "identify" as LGB. L, G and B are sexual orientations, not a "preference" or an "identity". Just the TQ's are about identity.

    A lot of heteroflexible people are still a little more flexible than even this, but not that much. The big thing is just a major romantic and/pr sexual preference towards the opposite sex with rare or occasional queer attractions.

    Poor thing! He doesn't tell his sexual partners that he has HIV because if he does, no one will want to touch him or have sex with him. Stop seeing yourself as a victim because you are not. You are selfish and irresponsible. Also the fact that he looks like Jesus freaks me out, like a twisted creepy gay verison of Jesus Christ.
