What make’s him a Nazi? So you want to say anyone not accepting your lifestyle is a Nazi? Than you have a big issue, because to many are against your lifestyle 🤷🏻♂️
@@Lion_HamzaNeo-Nazism is describe as this 'Neo-Nazism comprises the post-World War II militant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and racial supremacy, to attack racial and ethnic minorities, and in some cases to create a fascist state' These people promote hate on the group that is the LGBT+ community and others, they seem to be very radical in their beliefs. They use bigotry and hate speach to sway beliefs to their side to make the people they hate against as lesser, such as calling the 'Dogs' They are not being called a nazi simply becaus they are against beliefs or lifestyle but because of their hateful actions.
The joking at the beginning is actually a manipulation tactic. No joke. My dad, a former youth pastor, told me about it while explaining why he'd always tell jokes between songs when performing live with his band. In his words, near verbatim: "If you can make them laugh, you have their hearts in the palm of your hand." In the live performances it wasn't a harmful form of manipulation, it just made them more likely to sing along and dance, but in the setting of a church it acts as a way to make the congregation let their guard down.
Even better would be if they get reported to the FBI's terrorist watch department for their vile hate speech against Jewish people, & for the comments at least one of their scummy "preachers" made about "praying for more Muslims to shoot up more gay bars". These creeps are fucking genocidal little shitheads. What they're engaging in is called Stochastic Terrorism, a practice where they themselves don't commit the acts, but their "preaching" incites someone else directly to do the crime. The term was coined by a guy on Daily Kos (a Progressive political site) by the name of G2Geek (he works in intel) to refer to the alt-right & how their leaders "encouraged" their more unhinged followers to commit horrific acts like mowing down people in very public shoot-outs.

@@jamesphillips2285who the hell could keep track of the plethora of added individual labels? I identify as straight and prefer to be called as such instead of cis. Am I allowed to consider being called cis an offensive slur because I'm straight? Universe forbid I actually offend someone for whatever reason. I think all these labels are a sneaky way meant to confuse people in an attempt to make them 2nd guess themselves. Who the hell came up with all that and how is it fair to everyone? I don't accept those words and won't play into it. If I'm ignorant, then it's a world of jargin I don't care to be a part of and shouldn't suddenly be subjected to or obligated to be a part of. Personal boundaries are meant to be respected and by all means should be. It should be ok not to have interest or put any energy into concepts you can't relate to. It doesn't make you a hater, but of course certain people will label you as such. Respectfully speaking, Identity politics will always be a mess and there never will be a winner. All it does is further alienate people more than they already are. If you look hard enough you could find anything you're really looking for, wether it's love or hate. In this case it was a hate church no different than that of the closet racist. They just keep that shit to themselves behind closed doors

How did you get that from my comment?
The claim that they "knew something was off" is such BS. That's just the leadership trying to save face because they didn't know and are trying to act like saints because they were "nice to you". Pure, utter lies. They can't go around looking bad to their followers, after all. As a trans christian, I appreciate what you're doing. It astounds me how these people cherry-pick the Bible for their own benefit/to feed their unjustified hatred. Did they forget that Jesus always hung out with those society considered "lesser" or "othered"? All I could think through their sermons was "Let he with no sin cast the first stone." My blood is boiling. "If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" -1 John 4:20 (Also what are your preferred pronouns?)
Yeah, that's what really gets me the most: without the Bible, they are barbaric and medieval. But even arguing within the bounds of their faith, they make a mockery of even the most central tenets of Christianity & I don't need to be Christian to know that. God bless you for speaking out against it. If more Christians did that, the more people would understand that you could be progressive and religious at the same time.

How is a pastor able to preach about shooting someone in the head execution-style without thinking, even for a second, "...are we the bad guys?" I may have left the church a decade ago, but even I know that you can't preach God's word with the undercurrent of hatred and anger. Good job, Jordan. Love your work like always, dood.
I was a fundegelical growing up and read the Bible cover to cover for VBS projects; and you absolutely _can_ preach the Bible with an undercurrent of hate and anger. It’s a horrific book with a villain for a main character. After reading it, I never understood how people said “God is love”; he’s a petulant child with anger issues.
@@truckerdave8465maybe it's similar to that whole "incels from 2014-16 either became trans or nazis" Like they have similar origin points but they diverge due to not having the same ties to the idea
@@truckerdave8465they reject progressive society because they feel like progressive society rejected them. They aren't outside the box thinkers, they're usually too stuck in traditionalist modes of thinking to be artists but desperately want to be so they parlay those skills into careers advancing reactionary beliefs. They become pundits because they're genuinely untalented people who couldn't make it anywhere else and they're fascist because they're delusional and egocentric enough to think a meritocracy would put them on top. The fascist is what an uncreative artist can become when they're all ego and no heart. The desire to be special, to be chosen by god, the master race. These are all ideas that are surprisingly close to the way egomaniacal artists and rockstar feel about themselves. How many artists do you know who feel like they're special? That they were chosen? If you strip away the art and replace it with bitterness and a desire to return to tradition then a fascist is what you end up with.

@@smenkooo343 this gets taught a lot, but it’s a way over simplified reading of the scriptures. It’s worth mentioning it took a long time for Christianity to not be considered within Judaism. This isn’t to dismiss the antisemitism that developed in European Christianity, but to say historically there wasn’t some clear cut differentiation from Jewishness and Judaism in early Christianity.
@@smenkooo343Islam and Hinduism have no original connection. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam ARE connected. You’re correct that anti-semitism isn’t exclusive to European Christianity but what developed in Europe was a very specific kind of antisemitism that didn’t really exist in the same way before due to the way cities and empires were laid out and populated, though it built on commentaries from past thinkers. But the form that lingers to this day was the type that was build in Europe. But regardless, Judaism and Christianity took a while to branch off from each other. Christianity wasn’t its own thing right away, otherwise these debates about applying Jewish law would have never been debates.
I'm currently stuck in a church because 1. I'm a minor 2. Almost my entire family is religious 3. I've been baptized and that most likely, that's going to be used against me as a way to guilt me into staying. There was a whole prayer and fasting section that was just FULL of anti-LGBTQ+ speech. I have the video but that might expose my location. I was sitting in the pews with a friend (both of us are queer) and we were just silent. Silence and fear because we knew that what they were saying was what they actually fully believed in their minds and nothing could change that. Wish me luck in getting out of this situation soon because only 3 more years and I'm no longer legally bound to my parents. Edit: me and the friend are dating now but we're still stuck in the church LMAO
1. You're adorable 2. Sending love from another trans person 3. The level of delusion is kinda scary, but the hatred, to me, is just straight up sad lol

As a queer, trans person with Jewish parents (I am an atheist, but these people would still call me 'Jew'), it is good to find someone exposing these hateful bigots for what they are.
Lol, most of them probably dont know or care about the difference between being ethnically or religiously jewish. I've never been religious nor were my family, but my culture and upbringing is destinctly jewish-y enough for them to cry at the sight of a person that isnt a christo-fascist.

i’m also trans and with how personally and intimately attacked we are daily, i see members of our community like this as actual heroes. the person who made this video will never get anywhere near as much credit as they deserve but holy shit what an actual champion for us vulnerable little transes.
DD made a superb series here: displaying resilience and courage for sure, but also seeing the people behind the words not just the hate. The churches sermons are clearly dangerous rhetoric - one person takes what they preach about death to ‘sodomites’ seriously and sees it as their duty to action it and there’s twenty left dead - I think of that and then think of the congregation laughing about it if it happens, and can’t help but feel disgust. And then, I think about the other side of this - the hospitality and the casual conversation about their lives.They really aren’t irrevocably disgusting people - they’ve been grabbed by hatred for something they don’t really understand and are scared by. I wonder if any of them will actually think about DD amongst them and internally at least think “I quite liked them.” I’m probably way too optimistic. DD does a superb job in their video presenting that bizarre juxtaposition of hate and hospitality.
Ooh I'm going to drop some history here. Yes while during the bibble times (like 700 bce-50ce) working dogs were used, the "majority" of dogs average person would meet would have been wildish stray mutts scavenging around towns and other populated places being a nuisance and sometimes dangerous. The cultures of the period looked down upon scavenging and trash/refuse/corpse eating habits of the dogs thus the insult of being called a dog came to be implying being a dirty scavenger unsavory lowlife type. The insult is still commonly used in areas (and cultures from those areas) where stray dogs never really disappeared. Now I do realize that maybe explaining that the "hate person explained the dog wrong but still it had negative or literal implication" might not seem a coolest thing to do, but I swear that my intention is purely to explain why "dog" has been used as an insult around the world and the logic behind it.
These people say they don't know what nonbinary means, but then can't figure out how to purposely misgender them, and so resort to "it". But despite that, hearing all the spluttering confusion gave me life tbh 😂 I also think they couldn't figure out whether DD was (in their minds) a trans man or a trans woman which is why they were SO upset that they dressed like a man to go to church. Like you think they'd be happy about that 🤣🤣🤣 anyway this creator's gender fuckery is EVERYTHING and tbh I'm hopelessly in love

The sad, very disappointing thought is that I had the pleasure of knowing several people who got to experience the darker parts of history. My Grandfather immigrated to the US in the years after B.M. was deposed as the leader of Italy, and told me about being young and growing up with Il Fascismo. I also knew an Austrian woman who survived the camps. She made a point to talk about being saved and marrying the soldier that liberated her. People don't really learn from their history, and get swept up. "It always starts with the talking. Then you don't realize how bad the world is until your friends and neighbors are fleeing in the night with what little they can carry. Do better. Be better. Fill the world with love, even when it is hard."
@@deaddomain I had family through marriage (distant cousins) who died in the Holodomor (the famine of 1932-33 in Ukraine caused by Stalin that killed up to 5 million people. It's almost universally considered a genocide). My grandmother (Mum of my stepfather) was in an interment camp when she was a teen--a beet farm in Manitoba. She was Japanese. My own blood relatives (I'm French-Canadian & Cree) were in the Residential school system in Canada--the racist slave schools that were run by the Roman Catholic church & funded by the Canadian government to destroy our Indigenous cultures. We're still finding the mass graves of hundreds of children--we have records (so far) of more than 4K child-deaths have been found, but only around 1700 actual remains, but we're still finding more every year. Many families never learned what happened to their kids--the schools just never bothered to tell them when their kids died, either because they didn't care, or they couldn't find the Tribes in the bush to send a notice, 'cuz they often migrated from place to place. My grandfather is said to have gone to one of those schools, & it turned him into an abusive alcoholic because of what those evil people did to him there (so I've been told--I haven't been able to find any actual records of his attendance at any of the few Res schools in Quebec, so there's a real chance he was never at one). It's horrific what many families have in their histories, & it's tragic. We need to learn from our pasts, or we'll just keep doing the same evils, over & over again.
21:03 "Look, _men_ grow hair, and when you get older, you grow hair where you don't want it to grow." Yes, of course, no woman, cis or trans, has ever had hair in unwanted places.

I was a preschool teacher for nearly 3 decades. 20 years ago Robbie came to our school. She was 4, but when she was 3, she started noticing she was in the wrong body. Born male, she KNEW 1000% she was in the wrong body. We read books and talked to her parents and learned how to be supportive of the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet. It wasn't a fad or bandwagon her parents hopped on, they hadn't heard of trans and I don't even think we called it that. I guess my point is we learned about Robbie and what she was going through instead of rebelling against the idea. We learned. And none of these dumpster fire of humans are willing to do it. Im so glad I had Robbie in my life, and that I was able to be a part of her journey for a few years. You are fantastic and keep up the good work! ❤❤❤ Spread information not hate!
The sequel i didnt know i needed. Much love. As a Christian and leftist in the South, im starting to get a bit jaded when it comes to churches and their politics as a whole.

@@Eibarwoman We pagans, as well as our cousins in the occultism and esotericism communities, say that Christians are our best recruiters.

I'm certainly not going to tell you how to operate in your faith but I personally still identify as a Christian even though I've completely abandoned organised religion. I don't go to church anymore, and it's been so freeing. I don't think about God all the time even though I know he's there. I just become apathetic to it all. I hope you can find yourself in a position where you feel safe and loved by whoever you need to be.

@@SNESpool DD does it in entirely the best way here. Very low key presentation of exactly what is being said. The fairest way to expose bigotry is exposing what they actually say amongst each other; all too often straw men are attacked instead.
It’s funny he preaches about “pretending” when their ENTIRE church is literally pretending to be a place that teaches the love of Jesus. It’s infuriating and I wish I could see the day they’re shown exactly how hateful they’ve lived their lives. How they’ve laughed at literally spilling blood of other humans rather than practicing empathy, love and acceptance. Which by the way is what it’s all about. They’re living a life based on hate which is totally backwards and 100% wrong. They’re selfish, they preach hate and lies and one day they’ll have to take accountability for all this wickedness and sickness they preach. It’s straight from a heart of evil and hate. It’s so gross
That's what really ticks me off; they're using the Bible as a cover for their hatred. It makes a mockery of even the most Central tenets of Christianity.
@@centurionzen1005nfortunately it's been used like that for a long time. So it's very easy to do even if it seems totally insane to pair killing people and wanting to preach.
I’d say they are some of the most authentic Christians out there, this is ultimately what Christianity is. In the same way that Isis or the Taliban are the most authentic Muslims. The moderate ones are just cherry pickers. Religion in this day and age is a mental illness.
I am a non-Christian who has had to study Biblical and Christian history and philosophy extensively. I don't know how to put this respectfully, but I think it has to be said that I, personally, do not see the Jesus of the gospels as a particularly loving figure.

Ok, I don't comment very often but I'm the youngest trans person I've ever met to get gender affirming surgery. I got ftm top surgery not too long ago, when I was "15". I put 15 in quotes because my 16th birthday was 2 days after surgery. I had to get a letter of recommendation from my general practitioner, my therapist (who I have been seeing for years), and my psychiatrist. Both my parents had to sign off, I had multiple consultations with the gender clinic and surgeon... It wasn't easy, there's a process that is followed to ensure patients are in the right state of mind to consent, and have the knowledge to consent. I did countless hours of research, and countless hours of self reflection. I'm very lucky and had a team of intelligent and kind proffesionals who helped determine what treatment plan was best for me. Pre-surgery I had back pain, my sensory issues being constantly triggered by my chest, and SEVERE dysphoria. I couldn't look at, talk about, or even feel my chest (pretty hard not to when its attached to your body) without gagging and/or crying. Getting changed, taking showers, all these basic everyday things caused me significant pain. (Not only mental distress, but physical pain too, lets just say I had anime sized anatomy) Now, after surgery, I don't struggle with that. Life isn't always the easiest, getting top surgery ofc didn't magically make all of my problems go away. But it help me in so many ways. My body dysmorphia improved so much, for once in over 4 years I can look in the mirror and see myself properly. My gender dysphoria is still there in other ways, but its manageable, whereas before it was unbearable. I get to enjoy things I love like swimming, showers, trying on cute outfits, I can even hug my parents again. I don't think I would have made it to 17. At best I would have tried to do 'surgery' in an unsafe way (y'know ACTUAL self-mutilation). Gender affirming care being offered to minors is in no way damaging or bad, as long as proper procedures are followed (which they are). It saved my life, and I know its saved others from pain and suffering too. Sorry for the long comment! Thank you for creating these videos, and encouraging others to speak up and educate themselves. post script: I have religious relatives who would have VERY strong opinions on me if I came out to them, its just disappointing. I wish organized religions like this had less people who do nothing but lie and hate everything that isn't them.
That's awesome. I actually can't imagine the confidence it took you to make that decisions, but I also can't imagine the confidence of highschoolers in the Olympics. I'm watching my own friend try to line up the pieces for her bottom surgery and I can feel the stress. Triple checking 5 doctors' with 3 addresses each, because one typo can lead to months of setback.
Similarly, I had top surgery at 17, right before my senior year of HS. It saved my life, and actually gave me a chance to be a stupid teen who could enjoy his childhood before I actually had to be an adult. I gave me a chance to live a life I couldn't have, that most cis people don't even think about
Thanks a lot for the long comment! I can barely imagine how stressful that journey must have been and how painful it all was until you had the surgery. Recovering from surgery probably wasn't painless either, but I imagine that the relief of the stress and uncertainty if it would all go through made that part at least a bit easier. I hope that more states and countries make it easier for kids and adults to transition and just be themselves and get the support and help they need and want. Stories such as yours at least give hope that we will move in that direction, that loudmouth nitwits aren't the only people in the world, but that there are smart and caring people who are still progressing toward a healthier and happier future for everyone.
That's a big step, and I'm glad you were able to have that choice and especially at a young age. Not a lot of people are lucky to have that, especially me. So I'm glad you're doing well now
I grew up in the church and i went to private school for almost all of K-12. I remember being dragged to churches like these in high school (my mom liked to church hop a lot). I'll give them credit for something - their blatand anti-gay rhetoric around the time gay marriage was legalized was what made me finally decide that church was not for me and i didn't belong there. I hope the kids being dragged to these churches are having similar realizations.
Lol me too. I did the "loseYourFaith%" speedrun strat of getting really high and going to church. It sounded like it might be fun, but let me tell you: IT IS NOT. We got to the hymns and the chants and it immediately dawned on me "....Oh. This is a cult. I'm in a cult."
I'm so glad you're safe. I grew up in a very conservative religious community and have had people threaten violence on me because I'm a queer woman. Your video is so important to show what these people actually believe and how hatefilled they are.
The line about LGBT suicide is so disgusting. It's entirely because of people like this man that the rates are so high. Some of those poor kids in the audience will grow up to be LGBT, and they will have intense PTSD thanks to sermons like these.
I found your channel through your previous video on my recommended page. I literally bow down at your bravery in standing up for the actual vitriol and hatred that’s been happening and continues to happen to humans just wanting to live life embraced in love and acceptance. How can disgusting people like this not see how hateful, mean, degrading and judgmental they’re being, while making a feeble at best attempt to teach the love of Jesus. Laughing and cracking jokes about blood splattered walls? It’s harmful, malicious nonsense that’s got NOTHING to do with what Christianity is based on.
What is actual Christianity in your mind? I've heard as many versions as people saying that. Simce i can't tell the difference i thought you could help me out.
@@charisma-hornum-fries That’s a big question and you’re right, what does Christianity mean is a question that’s gonna get a variety of answers depending on who you ask. For me, Christianity means believing in God or higher power that created life’s most beautiful miracles like the complexity in nature and animals, details of human anatomy that create life, planets and galaxies and life in the deepest depths of the ocean. I believe it’s treating others how you’d like to be treated, caring for and protecting the vulnerable. It’s commandments like not cheating, stealing, murdering, not idolizing materialism, fame and power. I think it’s practicing empathy for others, meeting people where they’re at and remembering most people are going through things we won’t ever know about. I don’t think Christianity has anything to do with judging/condemning/hating people because of what gender they fall in love with as long as they’re able to live a happy, fulfilled life because we all deserve that. The God I believe in wants that for us. It also has nothing to do with gender, gender dysmorphia and we should allow/encourage people to live their life in the way that let’s them live happily and love themselves. I think we were created to learn and evolve which includes science, psychology, mental health and what we knew and believed 200 years ago changes based on what we’ve learned and know today and it’ll continue to evolve the more we discover with the brains God gave us. An example would be why women aren’t locked up in asylums anymore for “hysteria”. We’ve learned about mental health and the endocrine system, hormones etc. I believe in the Bible to a degree because I also know the Bible has been translated numerous times by numerous people and things can get lost or misinterpreted in translation. Along with the fact that what we knew then science and health wise is vastly different than what we know now so when people say the Bible doesn’t change…..it does and it has. I could go on, elaborate more, be more specific but in a very short, roundabout way, this is my belief of what being a Christian is.

My boyfriend's dad told people that we died. He was not a fan of the whole gay thing so we ran away and did not come back to that town for ten years and went dark online for all but close friends. That was weird to have people see us after I tried and only sort of reconnected. According to the dad's church preacher, we died while having oral sex and driving. Not trying to make this about me, if anyone is worried about me... don't he is dead. I am not going to say I am the reason why he is no longer with us but that also means I can't say why he is gone.
@@nightshadesylv as much as it is possible to do. It’s one of those things that changes you. I am far happier than my dad and he is fairly wealthy and not in bad health so I would say that is healing.
These people must live the most uncomfortable lives. I can’t imagine living and being constantly afraid of people who are even just slightly different from me. Its sad to see so many kids in there because it’s not their choice to be in such a hateful environment. I have such a strong cognitive dissonance about hating this rhetoric and loving the people who are involved in it, and i can only hope that that is the case for most of the people in the audience. (Also your deception stats must be fucking through the roof for all this 💯
Exactly !!! None of those children gave consent to be their , nor be filmed while they were there!!! Kinda leaves the consent argument with No legs to stand on !!!
"I have such a strong cognitive dissonance about hating this rhetoric and loving the people who are involved in it, and i can only hope that that is the case for most of the people in the audience." I struggle with that too. Not just with transphobes, but the entire right-wing in the U.S. :/ Like I know that the only way we're _ever_ going to get any of these people back to reality is by being gentle, forgiving, and patient with them while they figure things out. I know that's how people work, and especially people that are so emotionally stunted/emotionally immature (read: essentially all Conservatives).. if we come at them too hard, they'll just double, triple, quadruple down like they always do. However... who has enough patience left to deal with that? I'm almost certainly the most patient person I've ever met (I did IT support for senior citizens for a long time. In that job, you either learn how to be patient or you go insane lol), and I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it. Idk who could.. I think most people's good-will has been worn thin by the constant bullshit. I know they probably would never do the same thing for us if the roles were reversed, but still. I just don't see how it's possible, which means I have no idea how it's possible for this country to heal.. at least any time in the next half-century or so 😬
@@idontwantahandlethough one can hope 😪 change happens one community/person at a time, maybe some child in this congregation saw this and started questioning. Just like christians say they plant ‘seeds of faith’ we can plant some seeds of acceptance into people.

Your doing amazing and anyone getting hated by Nazi’s is obviously a true warrior Keep fighting kid (I can say that I’m 52)
The tragic reality is that a huge amount of the sexual abuse of children is done by FAMILY MEMBERS and church leaders. Unfortunately, many of these damaged, hurting children are not believed and may be shunned and blamed by family members when they reveal their pain and the crimes perpetrated by their abusers.
Funny that most people don’t believe when kids says that the satanic government hurts them but yet nobody believes them. Cause why would the government do such evil acts upon children? And most of the Catholic churches are run by satanist that are deceiving people into thinking they fallow God but they don’t it’s just a lie they fallow their pleasures meaning Satan
Former pastor here. Pastors start with jokes because they're taught to start with something engaging. Jokes tend to be easy and frequently (at least in my old denomination) are just pulled straight from the internet. It helps that churches tend to be easy audiences. There's not a lot of things "good christians" can laugh at. So they tend to be desperate to laugh at anything that comes even close to being even comedy-adjacent. And yes. Most pastors I know think they could do a tight five at a comedy club and kill.
My Stepdad was an evil SOB. He was seriously abusive, nearly getting my mom killed a couple times. We, the females of the house, were required to attend every church service. So 3-4 times a week we were at church with the SOB only coming to Sunday service and the occasional potlucks. It paved the way for my distrust of many people in churches. Not the churches themselves, that just a damn building, but the gossiping, snide, pompous, amoebas that just waist time, space and oxygen. I also learned to be weary of men, except grandpa. My grandparents came down and saved us from the SOB. Miss my grandparents and mom now, since they have all passed away. It is good to be a bit weary of new people.
Those are Nazis…hopefully your stepdad wasn’t entirely that evil. I’m not defending him…I’m glad you were saved from him. Men like these monsters in the church and your stepdad remind me of the men who took advantage of me for 8 years starting at 11…I’m pretty sure you can guess what ways they did that and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that evil.
My mom also forced us to the Baptist church three times a week, while behind the scenes she was a tyrant and even at a young age I could always discern that place was infested with evil, two faced and abusive hypocrites. Later on I would come to learn that my gut instinct was correct and that not only is the church where evil goes to hide who it really is behind the superficial (mask) facade, but that their entire leadership is infested with manipulative and controlling, divide and conquer and talking out both sides of their mouth degenerate high ranking freemasons.
Something you learn very quickly about these types of religious zealots is that they demand nothing less than absolute control on everything they can grab
I mean, it sounds like they want access to children to do whatever they want with… I mean otherwise why would they be accusing a group of innocent people of wanting that? Likely, it’s pure projection
I’m a trans ally who lives in Seattle. I had an idea of moving to Spokane, creating a religion that worships diversity and sexuality, then build my church next door to theirs. And for safety, have armed guards in full tactical gear protecting it 24/7. Just an idea though. I have nowhere near enough money to do it, sadly.
@Jane_8319 there is a rainbow church that is basically just be cool and accept people and celebrate diversity in spiritual ways. They aren't as oppositional as the satanic churches, so a different option for sure
@@Jane_8319 Maybe I'll set up a gofundme or something. But it would cost several million to get done. (Edit: I checked property values in Northtown Spokane. There aren't any business areas for sale right now, so the only option would be to buy a house and replace it with a church. The whole process would likely take about a year and cost somewhere between $1-2 million.)
I know you said you dont think you are, but you are definitely brave. You stepped into the world where people wanted you dead and came back to use it as your own weapon. Thats bravery. I really do hope to see more.
As someone whos been in the closet for years now because i live in an area thats not safe to be queer. content like yours really helps me. Hearing my own family say things similar to this church really gets to me sometimes. And hearing people like you speak against it is really inspiring. Keep up the great work.
Hey, I grew up with bible thumping gay hating racists. I know the feeling, I'm only part way out in my 40s . It sucks but be strong and don't let these demons tear you down.
Wishing you the best of luck in navigating those questions! Not all of them may have answers, but I remember that I would rather have questions that can never be answered, than answers that can never be questioned!
HELL YEAH, MY CRUMBLY COOKIE FRIEND! Now it's time to figure out whether you're raisin, or perhaps chocolate chip.. or maybe even peanut butter?! (your values. The flavor of cookie is the world's dumbest metaphor for your values, idk what's wrong with me)
I had a friend & their sister kept taking their kid to a fire & brimstone church on Sundays while babysitting. Their kid ended up getting so brainwashed by that church that the kid would scream & yell at his parents that he 'doesn't have to listen to them because they're going to hell & have no authority over him as a result. This kid was, maybe, 7yo...... It got *really* bad for awhile until they put their foot down--no more church. Then this crazy sister started dating my x-husband and taking *my* kid to that church... Oh man, I was LIVID & chewed my x out. My kid never went back after that, to my delight. They absolutely destroy kids & the relationships that they have with "non-Christian" parents. These churches are so toxic & destroy families. Fukkin' Nazis......
It's statistically almost certain that at least 1 or more kids in that audience are LGBT+. I hope they can excape before they hate themselves enough to kill them selves
As a non-binary person raised heavily in the Lutheran church watching your covert operation was scary, hilarious, and healing. You are quite a strong person to dress masc and go undercover in the face of such strong hatred. The way you logically dismantled their arguments in the last video and the way you think about this topic is very relatable. I was raised in a church enough to know that churches don’t always preach their religion and that is my issue with them.
Also I’m transmasc but my partner is non-binary transfem and is also always ready to defend and claims all transfemmes are prepared to fight at all times so ur second amendment joke is funny I need to follow more transfemmes my page is all transmascs
I can relate. I'm a trans-dolphin and have been disrespected and openly discriminated against all of my life! Im a dolphin and im proud and i dont care what others think!
"Jews killed Jesus" caught me off guard. Like... did they not even read the Bible ever? That was the Romans who killed him. Also, Jesus was Jewish himself. I'm like. Huuuuh... ummm... WHAT!? I have no idea where this came from. 😐
Vast majority of Christians believe Jesus was murdered by Jews who betrayed him to the Romans with false accusations. It’s a 1,500+ year old belief that used to be Catholic dogma to justify Jewish genocides. Vast majority of Christians also are commanded NOT to read the Bible cover to cover like a novel because only religious leaders influenced by The Holy Ghost can properly understand it. They are only allowed to read a handful of words at a go and then ONLY after being told ahead of time what it really means. Christianity isn’t the Bible. It’s whatever the denominations leaders say it is. Partly because the quickest path to apostasy is actually reading the Bible cover to cover.
@@finni1569 According to people like them, The Jews that denied Jesus as the messiah and turned Jesus over to the Romans with lies that got him executed betrayed their god. The people who followed the resurrected Jesus became Christians, as all loyal Jews were supposed to do. So by their reasoning people who remained Jewish after their messiah arrived betrayed their god so he hates them now. He didn’t hate them before that. As for the Moses story men like those love it usually because at one point their god orders Moses to have his people genocide an entire area including babies, that the Bible gives explicit instructions on how to kill, except for young girls who were given as SA slaves to the best warriors. Christian Nationalists always love that part because it gives them biblical permission to mass murder and enslave those not Christian enough to count as people.
This has been rhetoric for centuries now, particularly in the Catholic Church. But it’s not a dishonest take. The Bible does try to make out like the Roman leadership couldn’t care less about killing Jesus and actively tried not to. It was the Jewish community that pushed for it. What actually happened, or if anything happened at all, is a different thing though
It’s never failed to disturb me how much genuine glee and delight these… people seem to take in inflicting harm on others. They’re not in any danger, this is not a fight for survival, no one is oppressing them in any way. They just enjoy being the ones who do harm to others for the sake of it. This is what evil looks like.
Everyone thinks they're the hero in their own little stories, including the villains. That's why there are atrocities that are committed in the name of religion, because they think their acts of violence are righteous and justified before what they call God. Jesus Himself said to His disciples, "A time is coming when those who kill you will think they're doing God a service. And they will do those things because they neither knew God nor Me."
I found your channel from the last video, this should be going so viral. These preachers are horrible humans. How horrid to call for violence against any community of people. You are so valid and brave!❤
I'm a straight, white guy who grew up in a catholic school, but some of my best friends are gay, trans, genderfluid or otherwise identify with the lgbtq+ community. These are some of the people I love most in the world, people who have been there for me at the most difficult points of my life and vice versa. It honestly makes me enraged to see the rhetoric these hate groups spew, and know that it can get real people, people who are just like my friends, hurt for no other reason than some people disagree with their existence. I also have jewish heritage, and many people in my heritage were killed during the events of ww2, and it really sickens me to my core that people exist who have little to no problem with violence against innocent people as long as it's in line with their beliefs. Thanks for bringing attention to hate groups like this, and I hope you are safe.
Hello, I just wanted to kinda add a bit to a great point you had.... In that it enrages you.... Can bring real harm to people that are your friends etc... But in reality it Can bring harm to You personally also your friends!!!! Because of your Jewish Heritage as you mentioned.. To them they hate them all equally for the most part. But at the top they hate Jewish people the most, only adding other groups to that list. So as to broaden there reach and bring in more followers!! As long as they agree with and talk about a person or group that someone hates, they may not agree or hate the others equally or at all, But will forgo all the other hate speech as long as they agree with theirs!!
I'm a straight white guy that went to Catholic school too and while i'm not religious anymore, it blows my damn mind that people can so totally pervert the bible's message to be hateful and cruel. I mean obviously there are a lot of problematic parts of the bible, but it's pretty hard to turn the general message of "just be chill, ok dudes? Don't be a dick, share your snacks, and everything will be fine! Life is hard, y'all kinda suck, but just help each other and you'll be ok" into "EVERYONE DIFFERENT FROM YOU IS BAD AND SHOULD BE HUNTED FOR SPORT!". Idk.. it's just so completely antithetical to the Christianity I grew up with. Like how the hell can anyone convince themselves that God would be down with such cruelty?! Even if being trans _was_ wrong (which it's obviously not), it _still_ wouldn't be ok to treat them differently.. ya know? Because it's not like any of us don't sin, so it's not like any of us have the moral authority to tell other people how to be! At least as far as I'm concerned 🤷♂
It's this kind of video that makes me want to come back out of hiding to this world. I live in WV and had to desist for my own safety but now I'm so sick and tired of letting this rhetoric control my life. I'm a "freak". A reprobate. But most importantly, I don't need these monsters' consent to exist. I don't need permission from Nazis to transition. Thank you for all you do. You give us strength, whether we're "out" or not. I bet there are kids of this church that are thanking you too.
My daughter is 15. She has gone back and forth a few times with her gender identity. I support her wherever and whomever she is in her life no matter what. These people make me feel like I need to protect my baby from the hate and negativity.
Thank you for not backing down to these psychos. This is so concerning, they are laughing about putting a bullet through people's heads in front of children! That should be illegal. Please stay safe🙏🏻💙
I have "Leviticus 19:28" tattooed on my forearm, and people are always asking me, "oh what's your verse say?" and folks usually find it really funny, find it NOT funny at all, or think its droll. Last week I was driving to work and a man was handing out invitations to a church event at the red light. He walks past me as I shake my head no (my window is down no AC) and he doubles back to tell me, "I love your tattoo, beautiful." i thank him and he calls back, "God bless you, beautiful!" actually leaving this time. Then, that very same day, a woman in my checkout line says, "I just googled your bible verse, thats SO funny!" and we laughed and i told her about the guy but the whole time i was thinking "this lady is the first person i've ever encountered in 5 years who just silently looked it up and then brought it up specifically telling me she looked it up rather than asking me or pretending she already knew."
I am a stereotypical long haired bisexual french horn player in the state orchestra where I currently live in Venezuela. I moved back in with my parents after I was homeless in America just after they left the country. Poverty affected me because of their excessive rhetoric spewed in the 7th day Adventist Church. I think that they are particularly sinister because they focus on legalism and old fashioned tradition in the "drums are of the devil" kind of way in order to push their version of fundamentalism. Now, while living in this horrible economy, I have a second job as their church pianist. The people at this church absolutely adore me because the family that built this particular church are still one of my parents' closest friends before I was born. But slowly as I grow tired of having to show up to work during church hours and hearing homophobic rhetoric from the pastors, I've been building up and already been outspoken on my beliefs with some people within the church. And my father sure as hell knows that when I have the money for a laptop I can earn a saveable wage so his bisexual pothead son can disappear and do his good drugs and produce secular music while they rot in their echochamber fillled with stubbornness... Unless they're willing to listen and change but I gave that up recently after seeing similar behavior patterns for years. Anyway I just wanted to say that this series inspired me to do what you said in the end and shine a light on more struggling youth that could get dragged in the church.
Like I could honestly do a multiple hour interview to psychologically assess the members of the church along with their preaching, the way it affected me when one family listened and why a few others within the church finally concedes because of education about the war on drugs. If I have any influence as the church pianist that can inspire something in them to live a secular lifestyle, then I'm also doing God's work.
Hey, great video. On the topic of "Sound of freedom." I watched the movie because my mom got a free ticket and I wanted popcorn. I went into the movie completely blind. From the start, I got an off-putting vive; halfway through, I realized this was the movie Ben Shapiro wishes he was smart enough to write. It has everything from a white savior to a Christian superiority complex. And it had the audacity to say this was the story about the children without showing how the children were affected by their experience.
The fact that the far-right has been swarming every comment section they can find demanding people watch it was all the reason I needed to avoid it like the plague
For SOME reason teenage nazis are EXTREMELY down bad for me as im a roseboy, and it makes absolutely NO SENSE. I watched your video about the church and i really loved it. Keep up the good work and keep slaying, queen
Watching your videos has caused me to take more of an interest in issues LGBTQ people face. And these so called “pastors”are the proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing.
I'm very confused about the modern mainstream left and what they believe. Is the mainstream left against guns or for them? It feels like when it's the right talking about guns, they're bad, but when it's trans people talking about guns, they're good, which seems inconsistent.
@kenirainseeker539 For sure, im on the left and I support gun ownership, but for a long time *all* I saw out of the left was "Guns are bad! Get rid of them all!" and they'd go after Republicans for going against that. Now, pretty suddenly, it's become more popular for LGBTP people to talk about owning/buying guns and being very preformative and showy about it. Where were these people before? Thats what I wonder. Did people change their mind? The mainstream (which is basically a hivemind) seems to be changing its mind.
@@Xvladin >builds up a false monolith >the entirely heterogenous group of people that make up your monolith act differently (because they're not actually a monolith) >"Wuh Happen??" Good gracious.
@candyh4284 First, why are you talking like that? Are you a 4chan poster? Second, this seems like a deflection, word magic or something lol. Say the magic words and the argument you don't like goes away. The left doesn't have to be a monolith. Previously, the mainstream left only talked about guns being bad. Now, LGBTP people talking about owning guns is moving into the mainstream. Why? See, no monoliths needed.
As a cishet man I couldn't imagine sitting and listening to these people. Hell I can barely stand listening to these videos with frequent interruptions; I can't imagine how hard it must've been to listen to them in person. But I also think it's really important to let people know what Nazis like these say; we cannot let them grow their following unseen and unopposed. Thank you for what you've done in these videos.
I do just wanna say like, puberty fucking sucks, even as a cis guy it sucked and I can’t imagine how bad it would be for someone who isn’t as lucky as I was to be born with the parts I want. I feel like saying puberty blockers enable pedophilia is the same as saying that food production enables genocide. Although I doubt the experience translates well, I had a lot of body dismorphia as a kid mainly concerning my weight, and I looked for validation and affection wherever I could get it. Thankfully, nothing happened, but it isn’t a great stretch of the imagination to think that as a result of those issues I would have been extremely susceptible to grooming or shaming tactics used by pedophiles to keep kids silent. Wanting to do that to trans children intentionally is absolutely evil beyond words and I cannot fathom how they can spew bullshit like that in the same breath that they use to spew pearl clutching “what about the children” rhetoric taken from a 2000 year old fantasy novel that they half read and half remembered.
Yeah it was complete bullshit. As you probably know, Trans people do go through puberty. They stop blockers at either the average age of onset for cis teenagers or at the latest 18 and then start hormonal therapy as it aligns with their gender identity. Trans adults will develop (and grow hair lmao) like every other adult and will psychologically mature as normal. This idea that they won’t is willfully misinformed and just gross. And like you said allowing trans youth to transition socially with support and receive medical intervention as necessary DOES make them more confident and less likely to preyed on. IMO mostly because they know they can go to the parents or any trusted adult and won’t isolated as easily. But of course that doesn’t align with this churches rhetoric so they won’t say that. Most frustrating part is that THEY are the ones that want to keep kids ignorant and reliant on them but that’s another conversation entirely…
I'm cis-het passing bi and genderfluid, and I would have been shown the door two minutes into the first sermon. Mainly because I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut in the face of such abject cowardice, ignorance and bullying. I dress like the Sid & Marty Krofft version of Orko for a reason... I'm an entertainer. A clown. I'm the guy who'll stand on a street-corner and shout to all passersby "Not Only Does The Emperor Have No Clothes, He Also Forgot To Wipe." You, my dear, are a goddamn hero. I tip my wizard-hat to you, and as a fellow content-creator I support your endeavors.
I really hope they're all on watch lists. This is true hate speech and is implying, if not out right, calling for the killing of others. For people always accusing others of being groomers, they're doing a lot of grooming.
The surprise Ay-ay-ron annihilated me. That specific reference has been living rent-free in my head since I watched the Key and Peele sketch a very long time ago.
being hated on by a Nazi should be the ultimate badge of honor to left-leaning peeps and anyone even remotely progressive

Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and racial supremacy, to attack racial and ethnic minorities, and in some cases to create a fascist state'
These people promote hate on the group that is the LGBT+ community and others, they seem to be very radical in their beliefs. They use bigotry and hate speach to sway beliefs to their side to make the people they hate against as lesser, such as calling the 'Dogs'
They are not being called a nazi simply becaus they are against beliefs or lifestyle but because of their hateful actions.

I yearn to live that way, with the might to repel them via crazy violence.
The joking at the beginning is actually a manipulation tactic. No joke. My dad, a former youth pastor, told me about it while explaining why he'd always tell jokes between songs when performing live with his band. In his words, near verbatim: "If you can make them laugh, you have their hearts in the palm of your hand." In the live performances it wasn't a harmful form of manipulation, it just made them more likely to sing along and dance, but in the setting of a church it acts as a way to make the congregation let their guard down.
...Those were jokes? Easy crowd.

Even better would be if they get reported to the FBI's terrorist watch department for their vile hate speech against Jewish people, & for the comments at least one of their scummy "preachers" made about "praying for more Muslims to shoot up more gay bars". These creeps are fucking genocidal little shitheads. What they're engaging in is called Stochastic Terrorism, a practice where they themselves don't commit the acts, but their "preaching" incites someone else directly to do the crime. The term was coined by a guy on Daily Kos (a Progressive political site) by the name of G2Geek (he works in intel) to refer to the alt-right & how their leaders "encouraged" their more unhinged followers to commit horrific acts like mowing down people in very public shoot-outs.

All it does is further alienate people more than they already are. If you look hard enough you could find anything you're really looking for, wether it's love or hate.

"If someone says, 'I love God,' and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?" -1 John 4:20

Religion is a great fig-leaf for toxic people. It pays to always bear that in mind.
Yeah, that's what really gets me the most: without the Bible, they are barbaric and medieval. But even arguing within the bounds of their faith, they make a mockery of even the most central tenets of Christianity & I don't need to be Christian to know that.
God bless you for speaking out against it. If more Christians did that, the more people would understand that you could be progressive and religious at the same time.
Weird cognitive dissonance too. Like you want these people dead but also you're awesome because you were nice to them?
"Fake makeup" as opposed to... real makeup? lol these people are insufferable. Great video. You're doing great!
Almost like it’s some kind of a church predicated on denying the two greatest commandments.
"I can't use fake nails! everything in the modeling industry is real, these are _real_ extensions, this is a _real_ spray tan, these are _real_ fake eyelashes, these are not _fake_ fake eyelashes"
Insufferable is right.

How is a pastor able to preach about shooting someone in the head execution-style without thinking, even for a second, "...are we the bad guys?"

@@truckerdave8465they reject progressive society because they feel like progressive society rejected them. They aren't outside the box thinkers, they're usually too stuck in traditionalist modes of thinking to be artists but desperately want to be so they parlay those skills into careers advancing reactionary beliefs. They become pundits because they're genuinely untalented people who couldn't make it anywhere else and they're fascist because they're delusional and egocentric enough to think a meritocracy would put them on top. The fascist is what an uncreative artist can become when they're all ego and no heart. The desire to be special, to be chosen by god, the master race. These are all ideas that are surprisingly close to the way egomaniacal artists and rockstar feel about themselves. How many artists do you know who feel like they're special? That they were chosen? If you strip away the art and replace it with bitterness and a desire to return to tradition then a fascist is what you end up with.

@@smenkooo343Islam and Hinduism have no original connection. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam ARE connected.
You’re correct that anti-semitism isn’t exclusive to European Christianity but what developed in Europe was a very specific kind of antisemitism that didn’t really exist in the same way before due to the way cities and empires were laid out and populated, though it built on commentaries from past thinkers. But the form that lingers to this day was the type that was build in Europe.
But regardless, Judaism and Christianity took a while to branch off from each other. Christianity wasn’t its own thing right away, otherwise these debates about applying Jewish law would have never been debates.
I'm currently stuck in a church because 1. I'm a minor 2. Almost my entire family is religious 3. I've been baptized and that most likely, that's going to be used against me as a way to guilt me into staying. There was a whole prayer and fasting section that was just FULL of anti-LGBTQ+ speech. I have the video but that might expose my location. I was sitting in the pews with a friend (both of us are queer) and we were just silent. Silence and fear because we knew that what they were saying was what they actually fully believed in their minds and nothing could change that. Wish me luck in getting out of this situation soon because only 3 more years and I'm no longer legally bound to my parents.
Edit: me and the friend are dating now but we're still stuck in the church LMAO

Im cishet and i wouldn't have the resilience
DD made a superb series here: displaying resilience and courage for sure, but also seeing the people behind the words not just the hate.
The churches sermons are clearly dangerous rhetoric - one person takes what they preach about death to ‘sodomites’ seriously and sees it as their duty to action it and there’s twenty left dead - I think of that and then think of the congregation laughing about it if it happens, and can’t help but feel disgust.
And then, I think about the other side of this - the hospitality and the casual conversation about their lives.They really aren’t irrevocably disgusting people - they’ve been grabbed by hatred for something they don’t really understand and are scared by.
I wonder if any of them will actually think about DD amongst them and internally at least think “I quite liked them.” I’m probably way too optimistic.
DD does a superb job in their video presenting that bizarre juxtaposition of hate and hospitality.
Being called a dog is an honrable thing! Dogs are loyal, and give you nothing but unconditional love!!
Then Donald Trump is a dog.
Ooh I'm going to drop some history here.
Yes while during the bibble times (like 700 bce-50ce) working dogs were used, the "majority" of dogs average person would meet would have been wildish stray mutts scavenging around towns and other populated places being a nuisance and sometimes dangerous. The cultures of the period looked down upon scavenging and trash/refuse/corpse eating habits of the dogs thus the insult of being called a dog came to be implying being a dirty scavenger unsavory lowlife type. The insult is still commonly used in areas (and cultures from those areas) where stray dogs never really disappeared.
Now I do realize that maybe explaining that the "hate person explained the dog wrong but still it had negative or literal implication" might not seem a coolest thing to do, but I swear that my intention is purely to explain why "dog" has been used as an insult around the world and the logic behind it.

This is a very common form of transmisogyny called degendering. If you're mad at a trans woman, call her they.
The sad, very disappointing thought is that I had the pleasure of knowing several people who got to experience the darker parts of history. My Grandfather immigrated to the US in the years after B.M. was deposed as the leader of Italy, and told me about being young and growing up with Il Fascismo. I also knew an Austrian woman who survived the camps. She made a point to talk about being saved and marrying the soldier that liberated her. People don't really learn from their history, and get swept up. "It always starts with the talking. Then you don't realize how bad the world is until your friends and neighbors are fleeing in the night with what little they can carry. Do better. Be better. Fill the world with love, even when it is hard."
Thank you for sharing this. It’s a valuable lesson I wish more would heed.
@@deaddomain I had family through marriage (distant cousins) who died in the Holodomor (the famine of 1932-33 in Ukraine caused by Stalin that killed up to 5 million people. It's almost universally considered a genocide). My grandmother (Mum of my stepfather) was in an interment camp when she was a teen--a beet farm in Manitoba. She was Japanese. My own blood relatives (I'm French-Canadian & Cree) were in the Residential school system in Canada--the racist slave schools that were run by the Roman Catholic church & funded by the Canadian government to destroy our Indigenous cultures. We're still finding the mass graves of hundreds of children--we have records (so far) of more than 4K child-deaths have been found, but only around 1700 actual remains, but we're still finding more every year. Many families never learned what happened to their kids--the schools just never bothered to tell them when their kids died, either because they didn't care, or they couldn't find the Tribes in the bush to send a notice, 'cuz they often migrated from place to place. My grandfather is said to have gone to one of those schools, & it turned him into an abusive alcoholic because of what those evil people did to him there (so I've been told--I haven't been able to find any actual records of his attendance at any of the few Res schools in Quebec, so there's a real chance he was never at one). It's horrific what many families have in their histories, & it's tragic. We need to learn from our pasts, or we'll just keep doing the same evils, over & over again.

I was a preschool teacher for nearly 3 decades. 20 years ago Robbie came to our school. She was 4, but when she was 3, she started noticing she was in the wrong body. Born male, she KNEW 1000% she was in the wrong body. We read books and talked to her parents and learned how to be supportive of the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet. It wasn't a fad or bandwagon her parents hopped on, they hadn't heard of trans and I don't even think we called it that. I guess my point is we learned about Robbie and what she was going through instead of rebelling against the idea. We learned. And none of these dumpster fire of humans are willing to do it. Im so glad I had Robbie in my life, and that I was able to be a part of her journey for a few years. You are fantastic and keep up the good work! ❤❤❤ Spread information not hate!

Ok, I don't comment very often but I'm the youngest trans person I've ever met to get gender affirming surgery.
I got ftm top surgery not too long ago, when I was "15". I put 15 in quotes because my 16th birthday was 2 days after surgery.
I had to get a letter of recommendation from my general practitioner, my therapist (who I have been seeing for years), and my psychiatrist. Both my parents had to sign off, I had multiple consultations with the gender clinic and surgeon...
It wasn't easy, there's a process that is followed to ensure patients are in the right state of mind to consent, and have the knowledge to consent.
I did countless hours of research, and countless hours of self reflection. I'm very lucky and had a team of intelligent and kind proffesionals who helped determine what treatment plan was best for me.
Pre-surgery I had back pain, my sensory issues being constantly triggered by my chest, and SEVERE dysphoria.
I couldn't look at, talk about, or even feel my chest (pretty hard not to when its attached to your body) without gagging and/or crying. Getting changed, taking showers, all these basic everyday things caused me significant pain. (Not only mental distress, but physical pain too, lets just say I had anime sized anatomy)
Now, after surgery, I don't struggle with that. Life isn't always the easiest, getting top surgery ofc didn't magically make all of my problems go away. But it help me in so many ways. My body dysmorphia improved so much, for once in over 4 years I can look in the mirror and see myself properly. My gender dysphoria is still there in other ways, but its manageable, whereas before it was unbearable. I get to enjoy things I love like swimming, showers, trying on cute outfits, I can even hug my parents again.
I don't think I would have made it to 17. At best I would have tried to do 'surgery' in an unsafe way (y'know ACTUAL self-mutilation).
Gender affirming care being offered to minors is in no way damaging or bad, as long as proper procedures are followed (which they are). It saved my life, and I know its saved others from pain and suffering too.
Sorry for the long comment!
Thank you for creating these videos, and encouraging others to speak up and educate themselves.
post script: I have religious relatives who would have VERY strong opinions on me if I came out to them, its just disappointing. I wish organized religions like this had less people who do nothing but lie and hate everything that isn't them.
That's awesome. I actually can't imagine the confidence it took you to make that decisions, but I also can't imagine the confidence of highschoolers in the Olympics.
I'm watching my own friend try to line up the pieces for her bottom surgery and I can feel the stress. Triple checking 5 doctors' with 3 addresses each, because one typo can lead to months of setback.
Similarly, I had top surgery at 17, right before my senior year of HS. It saved my life, and actually gave me a chance to be a stupid teen who could enjoy his childhood before I actually had to be an adult. I gave me a chance to live a life I couldn't have, that most cis people don't even think about
Thanks a lot for the long comment!
I can barely imagine how stressful that journey must have been and how painful it all was until you had the surgery. Recovering from surgery probably wasn't painless either, but I imagine that the relief of the stress and uncertainty if it would all go through made that part at least a bit easier.
I hope that more states and countries make it easier for kids and adults to transition and just be themselves and get the support and help they need and want. Stories such as yours at least give hope that we will move in that direction, that loudmouth nitwits aren't the only people in the world, but that there are smart and caring people who are still progressing toward a healthier and happier future for everyone.
That's a big step, and I'm glad you were able to have that choice and especially at a young age. Not a lot of people are lucky to have that, especially me. So I'm glad you're doing well now
congrats, seriously.

Lol me too. I did the "loseYourFaith%" speedrun strat of getting really high and going to church. It sounded like it might be fun, but let me tell you: IT IS NOT. We got to the hymns and the chants and it immediately dawned on me "....Oh. This is a cult. I'm in a cult."

I'm so glad you're safe. I grew up in a very conservative religious community and have had people threaten violence on me because I'm a queer woman. Your video is so important to show what these people actually believe and how hatefilled they are.
The line about LGBT suicide is so disgusting. It's entirely because of people like this man that the rates are so high. Some of those poor kids in the audience will grow up to be LGBT, and they will have intense PTSD thanks to sermons like these.
Speaking as an trans exjw apostate, 100% raw facts. Religion is damaging in general, but especially so to lgbt
I found your channel through your previous video on my recommended page. I literally bow down at your bravery in standing up for the actual vitriol and hatred that’s been happening and continues to happen to humans just wanting to live life embraced in love and acceptance.
How can disgusting people like this not see how hateful, mean, degrading and judgmental they’re being, while making a feeble at best attempt to teach the love of Jesus.

What is actual Christianity in your mind? I've heard as many versions as people saying that. Simce i can't tell the difference i thought you could help me out.
@@charisma-hornum-fries
That’s a big question and you’re right, what does Christianity mean is a question that’s gonna get a variety of answers depending on who you ask. For me, Christianity means believing in God or higher power that created life’s most beautiful miracles like the complexity in nature and animals, details of human anatomy that create life, planets and galaxies and life in the deepest depths of the ocean. I believe it’s treating others how you’d like to be treated, caring for and protecting the vulnerable. It’s commandments like not cheating, stealing, murdering, not idolizing materialism, fame and power. I think it’s practicing empathy for others, meeting people where they’re at and remembering most people are going through things we won’t ever know about. I don’t think Christianity has anything to do with judging/condemning/hating people because of what gender they fall in love with as long as they’re able to live a happy, fulfilled life because we all deserve that. The God I believe in wants that for us.
It also has nothing to do with gender, gender dysmorphia and we should allow/encourage people to live their life in the way that let’s them live happily and love themselves. I think we were created to learn and evolve which includes science, psychology, mental health and what we knew and believed 200 years ago changes based on what we’ve learned and know today and it’ll continue to evolve the more we discover with the brains God gave us. An example would be why women aren’t locked up in asylums anymore for “hysteria”. We’ve learned about mental health and the endocrine system, hormones etc.
I believe in the Bible to a degree because I also know the Bible has been translated numerous times by numerous people and things can get lost or misinterpreted in translation. Along with the fact that what we knew then science and health wise is vastly different than what we know now so when people say the Bible doesn’t change…..it does and it has.
I could go on, elaborate more, be more specific but in a very short, roundabout way, this is my belief of what being a Christian is.
@@charisma-hornum-friesChristian’s sand even the church as been debating for thousands of years what is to be a Christian. They try to stamp out bad takes but those bad takes are still here
My boyfriend's dad told people that we died. He was not a fan of the whole gay thing so we ran away and did not come back to that town for ten years and went dark online for all but close friends. That was weird to have people see us after I tried and only sort of reconnected. According to the dad's church preacher, we died while having oral sex and driving.
Not trying to make this about me, if anyone is worried about me... don't he is dead. I am not going to say I am the reason why he is no longer with us but that also means I can't say why he is gone.

I struggle with that too. Not just with transphobes, but the entire right-wing in the U.S. :/ Like I know that the only way we're _ever_ going to get any of these people back to reality is by being gentle, forgiving, and patient with them while they figure things out. I know that's how people work, and especially people that are so emotionally stunted/emotionally immature (read: essentially all Conservatives).. if we come at them too hard, they'll just double, triple, quadruple down like they always do.
However... who has enough patience left to deal with that? I'm almost certainly the most patient person I've ever met (I did IT support for senior citizens for a long time. In that job, you either learn how to be patient or you go insane lol), and I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it. Idk who could.. I think most people's good-will has been worn thin by the constant bullshit. I know they probably would never do the same thing for us if the roles were reversed, but still. I just don't see how it's possible, which means I have no idea how it's possible for this country to heal.. at least any time in the next half-century or so 😬

The tragic reality is that a huge amount of the sexual abuse of children is done by FAMILY MEMBERS and church leaders. Unfortunately, many of these damaged, hurting children are not believed and may be shunned and blamed by family members when they reveal their pain and the crimes perpetrated by their abusers.
Funny that most people don’t believe when kids says that the satanic government hurts them but yet nobody believes them. Cause why would the government do such evil acts upon children? And most of the Catholic churches are run by satanist that are deceiving people into thinking they fallow God but they don’t it’s just a lie they fallow their pleasures meaning Satan
You're doing the right thing. We must call out this behavior more often
Thank you 💕
Former pastor here. Pastors start with jokes because they're taught to start with something engaging. Jokes tend to be easy and frequently (at least in my old denomination) are just pulled straight from the internet. It helps that churches tend to be easy audiences. There's not a lot of things "good christians" can laugh at. So they tend to be desperate to laugh at anything that comes even close to being even comedy-adjacent.
And yes. Most pastors I know think they could do a tight five at a comedy club and kill.
Agreed
My Stepdad was an evil SOB. He was seriously abusive, nearly getting my mom killed a couple times. We, the females of the house, were required to attend every church service. So 3-4 times a week we were at church with the SOB only coming to Sunday service and the occasional potlucks. It paved the way for my distrust of many people in churches. Not the churches themselves, that just a damn building, but the gossiping, snide, pompous, amoebas that just waist time, space and oxygen. I also learned to be weary of men, except grandpa. My grandparents came down and saved us from the SOB. Miss my grandparents and mom now, since they have all passed away. It is good to be a bit weary of new people.
Those are Nazis…hopefully your stepdad wasn’t entirely that evil. I’m not defending him…I’m glad you were saved from him. Men like these monsters in the church and your stepdad remind me of the men who took advantage of me for 8 years starting at 11…I’m pretty sure you can guess what ways they did that and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that evil.
Makes sense
I'm sorry you went through all that, and I hope you're doing well. Stay strong.
I’m sorry I hope you feel better and stay strong.
My mom also forced us to the Baptist church three times a week, while behind the scenes she was a tyrant and even at a young age I could always discern that place was infested with evil, two faced and abusive hypocrites. Later on I would come to learn that my gut instinct was correct and that not only is the church where evil goes to hide who it really is behind the superficial (mask) facade, but that their entire leadership is infested with manipulative and controlling, divide and conquer and talking out both sides of their mouth degenerate high ranking freemasons.

Something you learn very quickly about these types of religious zealots is that they demand nothing less than absolute control on everything they can grab

I’m a trans ally who lives in Seattle. I had an idea of moving to Spokane, creating a religion that worships diversity and sexuality, then build my church next door to theirs. And for safety, have armed guards in full tactical gear protecting it 24/7.
Just an idea though. I have nowhere near enough money to do it, sadly.
A good idea. Wish I had the money to help. Maybe look into The Satanic Temple?
@Jane_8319 there is a rainbow church that is basically just be cool and accept people and celebrate diversity in spiritual ways. They aren't as oppositional as the satanic churches, so a different option for sure
Could always start writing science fiction if you want to make a religion.

@@Jane_8319 Maybe I'll set up a gofundme or something. But it would cost several million to get done. (Edit: I checked property values in Northtown Spokane. There aren't any business areas for sale right now, so the only option would be to buy a house and replace it with a church. The whole process would likely take about a year and cost somewhere between $1-2 million.)

I had a friend & their sister kept taking their kid to a fire & brimstone church on Sundays while babysitting. Their kid ended up getting so brainwashed by that church that the kid would scream & yell at his parents that he 'doesn't have to listen to them because they're going to hell & have no authority over him as a result. This kid was, maybe, 7yo...... It got *really* bad for awhile until they put their foot down--no more church. Then this crazy sister started dating my x-husband and taking *my* kid to that church... Oh man, I was LIVID & chewed my x out. My kid never went back after that, to my delight. They absolutely destroy kids & the relationships that they have with "non-Christian" parents. These churches are so toxic & destroy families. Fukkin' Nazis......
It's statistically almost certain that at least 1 or more kids in that audience are LGBT+.
I hope they can excape before they hate themselves enough to kill them selves
As a non-binary person raised heavily in the Lutheran church watching your covert operation was scary, hilarious, and healing.

"Jews killed Jesus" caught me off guard.
Like... did they not even read the Bible ever? That was the Romans who killed him. Also, Jesus was Jewish himself.
I'm like. Huuuuh... ummm... WHAT!?
I have no idea where this came from. 😐
Vast majority of Christians believe Jesus was murdered by Jews who betrayed him to the Romans with false accusations. It’s a 1,500+ year old belief that used to be Catholic dogma to justify Jewish genocides.
Vast majority of Christians also are commanded NOT to read the Bible cover to cover like a novel because only religious leaders influenced by The Holy Ghost can properly understand it. They are only allowed to read a handful of words at a go and then ONLY after being told ahead of time what it really means.
Christianity isn’t the Bible. It’s whatever the denominations leaders say it is. Partly because the quickest path to apostasy is actually reading the Bible cover to cover.
How do you read the story where God commands Moses to free the Jewish people in Egypt and have the takeaway be "yeah God hates jews" like? What?
@@finni1569 According to people like them, The Jews that denied Jesus as the messiah and turned Jesus over to the Romans with lies that got him executed betrayed their god. The people who followed the resurrected Jesus became Christians, as all loyal Jews were supposed to do. So by their reasoning people who remained Jewish after their messiah arrived betrayed their god so he hates them now. He didn’t hate them before that.
As for the Moses story men like those love it usually because at one point their god orders Moses to have his people genocide an entire area including babies, that the Bible gives explicit instructions on how to kill, except for young girls who were given as SA slaves to the best warriors. Christian Nationalists always love that part because it gives them biblical permission to mass murder and enslave those not Christian enough to count as people.
What always amuses me is that according to scripture this is supposed to happen and all is going according to plan.
This has been rhetoric for centuries now, particularly in the Catholic Church. But it’s not a dishonest take. The Bible does try to make out like the Roman leadership couldn’t care less about killing Jesus and actively tried not to. It was the Jewish community that pushed for it.
What actually happened, or if anything happened at all, is a different thing though
It’s never failed to disturb me how much genuine glee and delight these… people seem to take in inflicting harm on others. They’re not in any danger, this is not a fight for survival, no one is oppressing them in any way. They just enjoy being the ones who do harm to others for the sake of it. This is what evil looks like.

Everyone thinks they're the hero in their own little stories, including the villains. That's why there are atrocities that are committed in the name of religion, because they think their acts of violence are righteous and justified before what they call God. Jesus Himself said to His disciples, "A time is coming when those who kill you will think they're doing God a service. And they will do those things because they neither knew God nor Me."
Many of them are actually brainwashed and legitimately believe trans people are harming them somehow

I'm a straight, white guy who grew up in a catholic school, but some of my best friends are gay, trans, genderfluid or otherwise identify with the lgbtq+ community. These are some of the people I love most in the world, people who have been there for me at the most difficult points of my life and vice versa. It honestly makes me enraged to see the rhetoric these hate groups spew, and know that it can get real people, people who are just like my friends, hurt for no other reason than some people disagree with their existence. I also have jewish heritage, and many people in my heritage were killed during the events of ww2, and it really sickens me to my core that people exist who have little to no problem with violence against innocent people as long as it's in line with their beliefs. Thanks for bringing attention to hate groups like this, and I hope you are safe.
Hello, I just wanted to kinda add a bit to a great point you had.... In that it enrages you.... Can bring real harm to people that are your friends etc...
But in reality it Can bring harm to You personally also your friends!!!!
Because of your Jewish Heritage as you mentioned.. To them they hate them all equally for the most part.
But at the top they hate Jewish people the most, only adding other groups to that list. So as to broaden there reach and bring in more followers!!
As long as they agree with and talk about a person or group that someone hates, they may not agree or hate the others equally or at all, But will forgo all the other hate speech as long as they agree with theirs!!
I'm a straight white guy that went to Catholic school too and while i'm not religious anymore, it blows my damn mind that people can so totally pervert the bible's message to be hateful and cruel. I mean obviously there are a lot of problematic parts of the bible, but it's pretty hard to turn the general message of "just be chill, ok dudes? Don't be a dick, share your snacks, and everything will be fine! Life is hard, y'all kinda suck, but just help each other and you'll be ok" into "EVERYONE DIFFERENT FROM YOU IS BAD AND SHOULD BE HUNTED FOR SPORT!".
Idk.. it's just so completely antithetical to the Christianity I grew up with. Like how the hell can anyone convince themselves that God would be down with such cruelty?! Even if being trans _was_ wrong (which it's obviously not), it _still_ wouldn't be ok to treat them differently.. ya know? Because it's not like any of us don't sin, so it's not like any of us have the moral authority to tell other people how to be! At least as far as I'm concerned 🤷♂

I have "Leviticus 19:28" tattooed on my forearm, and people are always asking me, "oh what's your verse say?" and folks usually find it really funny, find it NOT funny at all, or think its droll.
Last week I was driving to work and a man was handing out invitations to a church event at the red light. He walks past me as I shake my head no (my window is down no AC) and he doubles back to tell me, "I love your tattoo, beautiful." i thank him and he calls back, "God bless you, beautiful!" actually leaving this time.
Then, that very same day, a woman in my checkout line says, "I just googled your bible verse, thats SO funny!" and we laughed and i told her about the guy but the whole time i was thinking "this lady is the first person i've ever encountered in 5 years who just silently looked it up and then brought it up specifically telling me she looked it up rather than asking me or pretending she already knew."
Looks it up... starts laughing my rear end off.
I looked it up and that is hilarious. When reading it I laughed so hard water I was drinking came out of my nose and the corners of my eyes

I am a stereotypical long haired bisexual french horn player in the state orchestra where I currently live in Venezuela. I moved back in with my parents after I was homeless in America just after they left the country. Poverty affected me because of their excessive rhetoric spewed in the 7th day Adventist Church. I think that they are particularly sinister because they focus on legalism and old fashioned tradition in the "drums are of the devil" kind of way in order to push their version of fundamentalism.
Now, while living in this horrible economy, I have a second job as their church pianist. The people at this church absolutely adore me because the family that built this particular church are still one of my parents' closest friends before I was born. But slowly as I grow tired of having to show up to work during church hours and hearing homophobic rhetoric from the pastors, I've been building up and already been outspoken on my beliefs with some people within the church. And my father sure as hell knows that when I have the money for a laptop I can earn a saveable wage so his bisexual pothead son can disappear and do his good drugs and produce secular music while they rot in their echochamber fillled with stubbornness... Unless they're willing to listen and change but I gave that up recently after seeing similar behavior patterns for years. Anyway I just wanted to say that this series inspired me to do what you said in the end and shine a light on more struggling youth that could get dragged in the church.
Like I could honestly do a multiple hour interview to psychologically assess the members of the church along with their preaching, the way it affected me when one family listened and why a few others within the church finally concedes because of education about the war on drugs. If I have any influence as the church pianist that can inspire something in them to live a secular lifestyle, then I'm also doing God's work.

Hey, great video.
On the topic of "Sound of freedom." I watched the movie because my mom got a free ticket and I wanted popcorn. I went into the movie completely blind. From the start, I got an off-putting vive; halfway through, I realized this was the movie Ben Shapiro wishes he was smart enough to write. It has everything from a white savior to a Christian superiority complex.
And it had the audacity to say this was the story about the children without showing how the children were affected by their experience.
Sorry for the long comment, but I've never felt this insulted by a movie.

I feel like saying puberty blockers enable pedophilia is the same as saying that food production enables genocide. Although I doubt the experience translates well, I had a lot of body dismorphia as a kid mainly concerning my weight, and I looked for validation and affection wherever I could get it. Thankfully, nothing happened, but it isn’t a great stretch of the imagination to think that as a result of those issues I would have been extremely susceptible to grooming or shaming tactics used by pedophiles to keep kids silent. Wanting to do that to trans children intentionally is absolutely evil beyond words and I cannot fathom how they can spew bullshit like that in the same breath that they use to spew pearl clutching “what about the children” rhetoric taken from a 2000 year old fantasy novel that they half read and half remembered.
As a transman, thank you for understanding our experiences, empathy is something I hope you never lose. ❤
Yeah it was complete bullshit. As you probably know, Trans people do go through puberty. They stop blockers at either the average age of onset for cis teenagers or at the latest 18 and then start hormonal therapy as it aligns with their gender identity. Trans adults will develop (and grow hair lmao) like every other adult and will psychologically mature as normal. This idea that they won’t is willfully misinformed and just gross.
And like you said allowing trans youth to transition socially with support and receive medical intervention as necessary DOES make them more confident and less likely to preyed on. IMO mostly because they know they can go to the parents or any trusted adult and won’t isolated as easily. But of course that doesn’t align with this churches rhetoric so they won’t say that. Most frustrating part is that THEY are the ones that want to keep kids ignorant and reliant on them but that’s another conversation entirely…
if it walks like a duck, and casually does the nazi salute like a duck...
Are you taking about the Ukraine soldiers?
@@chadnutspretty sure that everyone's talking about your fatherless ass, keep coping
@@chadnuts where the fuck did that come from
“We regret to inform you the duck is racist.”
It is a nazi duck
I'm cis-het passing bi and genderfluid, and I would have been shown the door two minutes into the first sermon. Mainly because I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut in the face of such abject cowardice, ignorance and bullying. I dress like the Sid & Marty Krofft version of Orko for a reason... I'm an entertainer. A clown. I'm the guy who'll stand on a street-corner and shout to all passersby "Not Only Does The Emperor Have No Clothes, He Also Forgot To Wipe."
You, my dear, are a goddamn hero. I tip my wizard-hat to you, and as a fellow content-creator I support your endeavors.
The bravery required to create both these videos can't be described in any way that wouldn't be an understatement
Great work!
I really hope they're all on watch lists. This is true hate speech and is implying, if not out right, calling for the killing of others. For people always accusing others of being groomers, they're doing a lot of grooming.
When dealing with conservatives, remember that every accusation is a confession.
One of them confessed on camera to using corporal punishment on their children…. I think someone to do something about that.
The surprise Ay-ay-ron annihilated me. That specific reference has been living rent-free in my head since I watched the Key and Peele sketch a very long time ago.
