John Oliver: "Last Week Tonight" On Trans Rights

Tonight was the 2nd time in recent years that Oliver has done a piece on trans rights.  I didn't know it was going to be the main topic, otherwise I would have posted on it beforehand.

 

A clip is not available yet, but should show up on Youtube within the week, so keep an eye out for it. It was truly excellent, with clips not only of some of the outspoken (and dishonest) foes of trans rights, like Kristi  Noem; but also showcasing some of the wonderful, outspoken young people who are fighting the H8ers on the front lines.  It's a Must See.

You can find it on YouTube now. Just watched - excellent!!! I'm hesitant to post the link bc of use of expletives in the video, but just search and you will find it. Here's a screenshot.

I came on here to post a link, but I think we have enough now! I loved the final message about “living in the joy.” Let’s smile and rejoice for finally being able to be ourselves!

      YES!!!    I'm trying to grapple with a conversation a very dear and supportive cis woman had earlier this week where she felt it necessary to "educate" my on what natal cis women experience in this world, as I if I had never thought about it and was drifting in some sort of pink cotton candy fantasy.    It just hit home to me days later that she just doesn't know or can't imagine what it's like to be me. That I've thought of my unwanted dilemma from every angle possible for every day of my life, including those long stretches of life where my sustaining practices were denial, avoidance, conformance, and when all else failed, some sort of mind-numbing substance use or abuse.    Sorry for the overflow of words and emotions. What you wrote. Yes. I don't need to be "reminded" either.    Thank you @awkward-yet-sweet   -Timi

      Hi @Rishaya. Thanks for writing on this thread--it's been a long time since. It's good to take stock and see the progress I've made these last three years. It's not so much as to "figure out" my past or even to "understand" it, but merely to accept it and move ahead. Just to read all the stories of folks here tells me that Transgender is a very wide tent and that I'm glad to be under it. My father's family lived in Utica and then Rochester, so I know a bit of that country, I accept it anyway. —Davie

      T shirts that are marketed as unisex or men's don't fit me. They ride up my hips!  I can avoid the problem in two ways. Buying a couple sizes too big, or simply buying women's T's (I'm wearing one now).    My T's from Torrid are cut different and of different material. They just don't ride up my curves.

      I'm battling another UTI, but I'll come if I have enough energy. Thanks. —Davie

      Good morning everyone!!! 3 cups of coffee into the day and feeling good!! I have a few small projects to work on around the house so that should keep me busy and out of trouble. 😄   Enjoy the day!!!! 💕🌈

      Please don't judge me......but I actually bought one a few years back.😱     I used a Norelco to trim myself down there for years and needed to replace it so I tried the Man-scape. I wouldn't trust it everywhere, though. Actually, I began shaving that area completely several years ago with a razor.   I put a new set of blades on the Man-scape and use it to trim my eyebrows, now. 🙃😁🌈   I'm so embarrassed.

      Seen them - although I understand the pink/blue and product the same - I still get the pink now to make me feel better about myself, not them.

      Use a talent to make someone smile. The smile will come to your face as well.

      .It is biology but it is natures error not yours. I would push to remove the "biological woman" and replace with just woman.
