00:00:23.832 --> 00:00:26.975
When you're getting married, you don't have to change your last name.
00:00:26.975 --> 00:00:31.187
That's something that you choose to go and do, usually with your spouse.
00:00:31.187 --> 00:00:35.945
Like you choose to change your last name, you don't just have to change the last one.
00:00:35.945 --> 00:00:43.665
You can change your first name at the exact same time for way cheaper than going through and just changing your first name.
00:00:43.665 --> 00:00:45.130
Okay, okay y'all.
00:00:45.130 --> 00:00:48.542
Or you can just change your first name.
00:00:48.542 --> 00:00:54.340
You can get married, use the marriage name change to just change your first name.
00:00:54.340 --> 00:01:04.629
So today y'all we're going to be discussing documentation.
00:01:04.629 --> 00:01:13.096
That's things like your gender marker on your driver's license, your birth certificates, passports, things of that nature.
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:28.319
Now, some things have changed as of recently when it comes to documentation very recently and if you have an ex-gender marker, please change it as quickly as physically and humanly possible.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.385
Get that, get that changed.
00:01:30.385 --> 00:01:34.920
Don't hold on to it until the end of the 30 days as a sign of protest.
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.393
I understand the want to, but we don't know if he's adding people who do that to a list.
00:01:40.393 --> 00:01:57.846
We, we don't know what you're trying to do about the people who hold off till the last minute, because they know everyone who will.
00:01:57.846 --> 00:02:01.334
That's available information by the federal government.
00:02:01.334 --> 00:02:04.608
So please, guys, get that changed now, just just.
00:02:04.608 --> 00:02:06.763
I know it's hard, I know it sucks.
00:02:06.763 --> 00:02:08.265
Get it changed now.
00:02:08.265 --> 00:02:12.401
And listen, this is probably going to send send a lot of people my way.
00:02:12.401 --> 00:02:13.103
It might.
00:02:13.103 --> 00:02:17.300
I don't know, I'm scared, but listen, I don't say this so that you'll like me.
00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.301
I don't give a fuck if you like me.
00:02:19.301 --> 00:02:20.002
I give a fuck if you're alive.
00:02:20.002 --> 00:02:20.983
I give a fuck if you're safe.
00:02:20.983 --> 00:02:22.584
I give a fuck if you're alive I give a fuck.
00:02:22.644 --> 00:02:32.290
If you're safe, Change your gender marker to the gender that you are most likely to socially pass as so.
00:02:32.290 --> 00:02:52.445
For example, if I presently had an X gender marker, I would be changing it back to F, Because that is the gender that I socially pass as at this point in time, which means that is the safest bet for me when it comes to interacting with, say, the police.
00:02:52.445 --> 00:03:03.463
Just to you know, throw something off the top of my head Like that's important, guys, I get it.
00:03:03.764 --> 00:03:04.388
It sucks.
00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:05.966
You're allowed to be angry.
00:03:05.966 --> 00:03:10.067
You're allowed to mourn and cry and curse and bitch.
00:03:10.067 --> 00:03:16.741
If you want to come into our link tree and send me an email and just yell at me about it, do it, please.
00:03:16.741 --> 00:03:20.520
If you need to vent into the void that is our link tree, do it.
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.424
I get it.
00:03:21.424 --> 00:03:23.383
It sucks, it's shit.
00:03:23.383 --> 00:03:33.401
I wish it wasn't the case, but this is what it takes to stay alive, and that is what matters right now is the queer community making it through the next four years.
00:03:35.145 --> 00:03:38.875
We have to there has to be queer elders this time around.
00:03:39.676 --> 00:03:47.502
I'm sick and tired of queer youth looking for queer elders and finding no one there needs.
00:03:47.502 --> 00:03:48.183
They can't.
00:03:48.183 --> 00:03:49.646
We cannot let them spin.
00:03:49.646 --> 00:03:55.419
The great lie of this is all a new thing in 20, 30, 40 plus years.
00:03:55.419 --> 00:04:00.711
No, we need to be there so that we can say what do you mean?
00:04:00.711 --> 00:04:01.592
New thing, bitch.
00:04:01.592 --> 00:04:03.728
I've been around since the 90s.
00:04:06.001 --> 00:04:09.508
Yeah, trump wants to erase history and that can't happen.
00:04:09.508 --> 00:04:18.514
But you're right, it is deeply disturbing and devastating for the queer community, more specifically the trans and non-binary communities.
00:04:18.514 --> 00:04:38.663
And two or three days ago, whenever Trump you know Trump was signed those documents, I was reaching out to all my my trans, non-binary friends say, hey, are you okay, are you okay Just checking in with people, because we need each other.
00:04:38.682 --> 00:04:40.223
But like Kit said the most important thing is to stay safe.
00:04:40.264 --> 00:04:40.605
It's temporary.
00:04:40.605 --> 00:04:50.035
It's temporary, because once we're gonna fight and we're gonna get our rights back no, absolutely this, this, this will pass.
00:04:50.216 --> 00:04:56.725
Think again back to, like the early days of discussions of gay marriage, legalization and stuff like that.
00:04:56.725 --> 00:05:00.112
Think about how hard that pushback was against it.
00:05:00.112 --> 00:05:03.305
You know, like the pushback was hard.
00:05:03.305 --> 00:05:04.869
They tried to kill us.
00:05:04.869 --> 00:05:10.904
They tried to let a disease kill us all, just just like that.
00:05:10.904 --> 00:05:18.141
Because we decided to be public about existing, they were gonna let a disease end us.
00:05:18.141 --> 00:05:21.286
We gotta make it through and listen.
00:05:21.286 --> 00:05:23.651
This isn't me saying go stealth, fuck.
00:05:23.651 --> 00:05:31.326
No, if you want to go stealth, if you feel you need to go stealth for your own safety, you do what you need to do for you.
00:05:31.326 --> 00:05:35.185
Boo-boo, I'm not going to judge you Ever, period.
Load full transcript
00:05:35.185 --> 00:05:37.660
But I'm not saying go stealth.
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:40.541
If you don't want to go stealth, you think I'm going stealth?
00:05:40.541 --> 00:05:41.184
Look at me.
00:05:41.184 --> 00:05:46.187
Which stealth In what actual fucking universe?
00:05:46.187 --> 00:05:46.428
Fuck.
00:05:46.428 --> 00:05:51.165
Now You're going to have to pry my queerness from my cold dead hands.
00:05:51.365 --> 00:05:51.927
That's right.
00:05:52.389 --> 00:05:53.232
It's not happening.
00:05:53.232 --> 00:05:59.406
But what I'm saying is is do what you got to do to keep yourself safe If you are stopped by a cop.
00:05:59.406 --> 00:06:11.074
You're going to be much safer in that interaction if your ID and that gender marker on your ID matches what the cop sees in front of him or her.
00:06:11.074 --> 00:06:13.807
That's just the way of the game.
00:06:13.807 --> 00:06:16.769
It sucks, but that's the way of the game.
00:06:16.769 --> 00:06:24.915
And if you want to survive the game, you got to play by the game's rules until you get to the point where you can burn the book.
00:06:25.797 --> 00:06:26.939
Exactly Like I said where you can burn the book.
00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:29.327
Exactly Like I said, we gotta change the rules.
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:40.601
But it takes a while to get there and until we get there you gotta stick around, you gotta do what you gotta do to stay safe and stay here and again.
00:06:40.601 --> 00:06:45.267
That does not mean going stealth, that means you know.
00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:47.466
Staying under the wire for a little bit.
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:55.834
Yeah, that means like looking at your government documentation and reminding yourself that that does not define you.
00:06:55.834 --> 00:06:58.809
That is paper and plastic.
00:06:58.809 --> 00:07:00.725
We are made of stars.
00:07:00.725 --> 00:07:03.305
That doesn't mean shit, okay.
00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:08.802
Yeah, I love that it doesn't define you.
00:07:08.802 --> 00:07:11.610
I love that it's a good reminder.
00:07:13.281 --> 00:07:13.944
Keep that in mind, y'all.
00:07:13.944 --> 00:07:17.766
We are going to make it through, but just please, for the love of God, stay safe.
00:07:17.766 --> 00:07:23.163
So we're going to go through some.
00:07:23.163 --> 00:07:27.029
This is going to be a lot of lists, a lot of smattering bullshit.
00:07:27.029 --> 00:07:34.807
Listen, a lot of this information is changing every day, like it's really important to keep that in mind.
00:07:34.848 --> 00:07:42.196
Y'all this information is changing rapidly, so I don't know.
00:07:42.196 --> 00:07:46.338
This is what we have right now.
00:07:46.338 --> 00:07:48.098
This is where it's at right now.
00:07:48.098 --> 00:08:03.209
Give me one second and I will tell you all the exact name of the website that I used to get most of this information to be right in our link tree.
00:08:03.209 --> 00:08:07.011
It's transequalityorg slash documents.
00:08:07.011 --> 00:08:18.040
If you go to that website, you can find the up-to-date version of all of the information we're going to give you today.
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:27.665
All right, so if you know, if you realize that things are changing, if it's a couple months out and you're listening to this episode, give that website a look through, maybe while you're listening.
00:08:27.665 --> 00:08:36.366
Still, because you know we're going to have fun along the way and there's an interesting fact at the end that y'all should stick around for I think hold on.
00:08:36.414 --> 00:08:37.820
I'm 92% sure.
00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:39.063
Yep, there is.
00:08:39.063 --> 00:08:40.277
There's an interesting fact.
00:08:40.277 --> 00:08:40.778
We're good.
00:08:41.298 --> 00:08:41.580
Awesome.
00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:53.178
So how does somebody go about changing their gender marker on their driver's license and you're recommending just changing it on the driver's license at this point.
00:08:53.198 --> 00:08:54.120
Right, it all depends on what you did already.
00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:07.003
If you are someone who changed your gender marker to X on everything, change it to whatever you socially pass, as on everything, you know what I mean.
00:09:07.003 --> 00:09:13.888
On your passport, on whatever it is you changed to X, change it to M or F.
00:09:13.888 --> 00:09:18.251
So for me personally, all of my information still says F.
00:09:18.251 --> 00:09:25.501
I haven't done any documentation changes when it comes to my driver's license, my birth certificate, anything like that.
00:09:25.501 --> 00:09:33.719
So if you're like me and you haven't done anything yet and you have started medically transitioning, this is something you really want to do.
00:09:33.719 --> 00:09:37.066
It depends on your state.
00:09:37.066 --> 00:09:40.620
With all of these, it's going to depend on the state you live in.
00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:46.884
So for changing a gender marker on your driver's license, it can be as simple as going to your local DMV.
00:09:46.884 --> 00:09:48.797
Truly Like in Pennsylvania.
00:09:48.797 --> 00:09:52.686
You literally just have to go to the DMV and change your gender marker.
00:09:52.686 --> 00:09:54.009
It's that easy.
00:09:54.009 --> 00:09:57.384
You can get it done when you're renewing your license.
00:09:57.384 --> 00:09:59.193
It's literally that easy.
00:09:59.193 --> 00:10:12.316
I don't even think it costs anything, or at least it didn't when I was offered the option of doing it thing, or at least it didn't when I was offered the option of doing it, but the only reason I didn't is because I was living in an area that I didn't quite feel safe doing that in with the police.
00:10:12.316 --> 00:10:24.683
And you know, yeah, in Kansas, tennessee, texas and Florida it is illegal to change your gender marker on your driver's license at all Period.
00:10:24.683 --> 00:10:32.644
It doesn't matter what you do, it does not matter what you, and you cannot change it on your driver's license.
00:10:34.296 --> 00:11:02.321
States or territories that require proof of surgery, court order or an amended birth certificate to change the gender marker on a state driver's license are Guam, montana, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marina Islands, oklahoma, arkansas, iowa, montana, louisiana, kentucky, alabama, missouri, georgia and South Carolina.
00:11:02.321 --> 00:11:09.311
And that does not mean you need all of those things, but you may need one or more of those things.
00:11:09.311 --> 00:11:14.403
So, either proof of surgery, a court order or an amended birth certificate.
00:11:14.403 --> 00:11:23.265
States or territories with an unknown, unwritten or unclear policies surrounding gender marker changes.
00:11:23.265 --> 00:11:28.264
So these are just the areas where it's like no one really knows what the fuck is going on there.
00:11:29.174 --> 00:11:42.125
Mississippi, south Dakota, american Samoa which, by the way, I apologize if some of these territory names are not the preferred names of the indigenous populations of those areas.
00:11:42.125 --> 00:11:45.259
I did not have the.
00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:49.389
I just I'm so sorry I did not look into the proper names.
00:11:49.389 --> 00:11:51.318
That's on me 100%.
00:11:51.318 --> 00:11:53.082
I promise we will do better in the future.
00:11:53.082 --> 00:12:05.423
I do believe that most of these that are listed here, other than, I believe, guam, are not the names that the indigenous populations of the area prefer for the areas to be known by.
00:12:06.586 --> 00:12:08.557
And then the last one is the US Virgin Islands.
00:12:08.557 --> 00:12:31.591
These are states where, with no form, no court order or proof of surgeries you don't need any of those, but there are other burdensome process requirements and or provider certification from a limited range of professionals, which means, like you might need a psychiatrist to sign off on this and it might need to be a very specific type of psychiatrist.
00:12:31.591 --> 00:12:44.383
And that's Wisconsin, idaho, utah and Arizona, states with easy to understand forms that require provider certification from a limited range of professionals.
00:12:44.383 --> 00:12:47.417
That's West Virginia, indiana and Nebraska.
00:12:47.417 --> 00:12:57.938
So, like the forms are easy to understand, but you still have that same issue of you probably need, like, a psychiatrist or some shit to okay it and their wait list is two years out.
00:12:57.999 --> 00:12:58.980
Right, that's crazy.
00:13:00.664 --> 00:13:06.701
States or territories with easy to understand forms that require provider certification.
00:13:06.701 --> 00:13:18.508
However, it is from a wide range and number of professionals, and that is Puerto Rico, Ohio, North Carolina, North Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska and Delaware.
00:13:18.508 --> 00:13:30.549
And then we have states with easy-to-understand forums that don't require provider certification and can often be done from the
DMV in one easy day, one day.
00:13:39.403 --> 00:13:58.658
That is Washington, right, minnesota, michigan, illinois, virginia, hawaii, dc, maryland, pennsylvania, new Jersey, new York, connecticut, rhode Island, Massachusetts, vermont, new Hampshire and Maine.
00:13:58.658 --> 00:14:03.777
So, as of the time I did this research, 22 states and DC allowed for the ex-gender marker on driver's licenses or state IDs.
00:14:03.777 --> 00:14:05.544
However, that is no longer the case.
00:14:05.544 --> 00:14:15.917
But courts have 30 days to challenge the executive order and from my understanding they already are because the way it is worded is insane.
00:14:15.917 --> 00:14:34.442
It's saying that the executive order states that you are whatever or whatever gender you were at conception, and when people are conceived and they're a little one cell things in there they're all women.
00:14:34.442 --> 00:14:40.524
Everyone's a fab at first or everyone has a vagina ever.
00:14:40.524 --> 00:14:42.835
It becomes a penis later.
00:14:42.835 --> 00:14:51.365
It starts at, it starts out as ovaries and eggs and then it becomes balls and sperm.
00:14:51.365 --> 00:15:01.703
So, because of the way he worded this executive order, there are no men, which that's not it either.
00:15:01.703 --> 00:15:08.381
So it's already getting challenged just on very logical basis of.
00:15:08.461 --> 00:15:24.423
This is just so beyond wrong and how women became the inferior gender is beyond me it's it's capitalism and religion yeah, exactly, spoiler alert once again it all goes back to capital.
00:15:24.423 --> 00:15:25.384
Scam.
00:15:28.365 --> 00:15:30.648
Yeah for changing gender markers on your birth certificate.
00:15:30.648 --> 00:15:36.592
The process is usually more complex and involved, but for some states it's downright impossible.
00:15:36.592 --> 00:15:38.341
It just cannot be done.
00:15:38.341 --> 00:15:43.325
There are three states that will show up in different areas on this list.
00:15:43.325 --> 00:15:46.441
Oh well, yeah, again, this is now every state.
00:15:46.441 --> 00:15:49.481
It's just banning the use of X gender markers on birth certificates.
00:15:49.481 --> 00:15:51.005
Right now, that's every state.
00:15:51.005 --> 00:16:07.947
So, again, this information is changing day by day, but as of the time of doing this research, the states that did not allow for X gender markers on birth certificates were North Dakota, oklahoma and West Virginia, but again, that's just every state.
00:16:07.947 --> 00:16:21.736
States that have banned the ability to change someone's birth certificate at all are Florida, texas, oklahoma, tennessee and Montana, which might sound familiar from the list above.
00:16:21.736 --> 00:16:31.280
States or territories that allow for changes to birth certificates but require both proof of surgery and a court order.
00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:37.035
And proof of surgery is a dehumanizing process full stop.
00:16:37.618 --> 00:16:39.041
It's a dehumanizing act.
00:16:39.041 --> 00:16:42.775
It's a dehumanizing act and it's a dehumanizing process full stop.
00:16:42.775 --> 00:17:02.153
But these are the states where both are required North Dakota, wyoming, guam, wisconsin, missouri, iowa, louisiana, alabama and Georgia States update birth certificates using an administrative process but require proof of surgery.
00:17:02.153 --> 00:17:05.900
So, like in these, it's a little bit easier, but you still have to have proof of surgery.
00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:08.664
And that's Arizona, nebraska and Kentucky.
00:17:08.664 --> 00:17:11.750
Doesn't that violate?
00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:12.130
HIPAA.
00:17:12.130 --> 00:17:16.221
Can we make a case for that, that it violates HIPAA?
00:17:17.103 --> 00:17:23.496
I'm thinking the exact same thing as I was sitting there doing this research.
00:17:23.496 --> 00:17:28.818
I was sitting there like as I was sitting there doing this research, I was sitting there like are these not HIPAA violations, or am I the dumb one?
00:17:28.818 --> 00:17:32.161
Am I the one that needs what's happening?
00:17:32.681 --> 00:17:34.422
My surgery is none of your business.
00:17:34.422 --> 00:17:35.762
It's none of your business.
00:17:36.403 --> 00:17:40.204
I thought that that was like I don't know.
00:17:40.204 --> 00:17:43.606
I know that there are some executive order that's being challenged on the basis of HIPAA.
00:17:43.606 --> 00:17:46.288
There's something that's being challenged on the basis of HIPAA.
00:17:46.288 --> 00:17:50.330
There's something that's being challenged on the basis of HIPAA, I think it's the.
00:17:50.330 --> 00:17:55.272
Actually, I think it's the allowance of immigration agents into doctor's offices and hospitals.
00:17:55.715 --> 00:17:57.881
That's considered a violation of HIPAA.
00:17:58.122 --> 00:17:58.804
That's the one.
00:17:58.804 --> 00:17:59.906
That's the one.
00:17:59.906 --> 00:18:06.002
And also, if your doctor asks about your immigration status, you do not legally have to answer them.
00:18:06.002 --> 00:18:08.522
You do not have to tell them that.
00:18:08.522 --> 00:18:10.721
Keep that in mind, folks.
00:18:11.275 --> 00:18:18.583
It's just all these insidious things that keep happening, that strip right after right, after right, mainly right to privacy.
00:18:18.583 --> 00:18:33.256
You know, just a little bit at a time, just kind of pulling this over the eyes a little bit at a time, and then people don't understand the rights, they don't understand that they can not answer, and then over time it just becomes commonplace.
00:18:33.256 --> 00:18:35.438
It's just, it's crazy.
00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:38.201
You always have the right to remain silent.
00:18:38.201 --> 00:18:40.123
Remember that, use it.
00:18:40.123 --> 00:18:51.298
You have the right.
00:18:51.298 --> 00:18:58.224
Even when you're being arrested, you have the right to remain silent, full stop.
00:18:58.726 --> 00:19:01.480
Yeah, you don't have to say
a fucking word.
00:19:02.674 --> 00:19:07.118
All you have to do is say I need an attorney, get me an attorney.
00:19:07.118 --> 00:19:09.891
That's all you gotta say.
00:19:09.891 --> 00:19:23.669
You don't gotta say fuck all else, okay, okay, please, even through interrogation processes, you have Throw away that fucking key.
00:19:23.669 --> 00:19:24.872
I don't know shit.
00:19:24.872 --> 00:19:31.471
Okay, just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page there.
00:19:31.471 --> 00:19:45.733
States or territories with unclear processes and or unclear medical requirements left to the discretion of individual judges Now that's scary.
00:19:45.733 --> 00:20:01.942
That's American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marina Islands, the US Virgin Islands, utah, south Dakota, mississippi, south Carolina, indiana, ohio and New Hampshire.
00:20:01.942 --> 00:20:04.128
New Hampshire surprised me.
00:20:04.791 --> 00:20:05.473
Mm-hmm Same.
00:20:05.724 --> 00:20:07.070
New Hampshire took me off guard.
00:20:07.070 --> 00:20:10.525
New Hampshire has surprised me a couple of times in these lists.
00:20:10.525 --> 00:20:11.810
I think New Hampshire surprised me.
00:20:11.810 --> 00:20:14.358
Like New Hampshire has been surprising a couple of times in these lists, I think New Hampshire surprised me.
00:20:14.358 --> 00:20:15.404
New Hampshire has been surprising a couple of times.
00:20:15.684 --> 00:20:25.816
So if somebody has prejudices or any kind of racial roots, this could be left up to the discretion of that person and they get a different result than somebody else.
00:20:27.765 --> 00:20:40.930
Yeah, exactly Two people showing the exact same need for name change, gender marker change, whatever could show up in front of two separate judges.
00:20:40.930 --> 00:20:48.673
The same person, the same everything could show up in front of two separate judges and get two completely different results because of those state laws.
00:20:49.133 --> 00:20:49.353
Wow, wow.
00:20:49.373 --> 00:21:23.500
Alaska, hawaii, puerto Rico, minnesota, iowa, connecticut, DC, delaware, maryland, pennsylvania, west Virginia, virginia and North Carolina.
00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:27.895
And this is states that update birth certificates with an administrative process and does not require provider documentation.
00:21:27.895 --> 00:21:30.093
So these are like the easiest states to get this done in.
00:21:30.093 --> 00:21:30.686
But it's still.
00:21:30.686 --> 00:21:33.115
You know you're changing your birth certificate.
00:21:33.115 --> 00:21:38.205
It's not going to be easy.
00:21:38.205 --> 00:21:51.435
It involves a lot, lot of you're changing a lot of stuff with that washington, oregon, idaho, nevada, california, new mexico, illinois, michigan, new york, vermont, maine, massachusetts, rhode island and new jersey, my born and bred state.
00:21:51.435 --> 00:21:54.261
I love that state so much.
00:21:54.261 --> 00:21:55.364
Yeah.
00:21:55.364 --> 00:22:02.785
And again it says 16 states allow for ex-gender markers as of now, but that we all just have to wait and see on that.
00:22:03.105 --> 00:22:17.086
This episode was recorded on January 24th and as of now, ex-gender markers are no longer a thing and genuinely, if you have an ex-gender marker, change it.
00:22:17.086 --> 00:22:18.689
Just, it does not.
00:22:18.689 --> 00:22:25.250
Don't wait for the end of the 30 days, even if you know they end up being like, okay, yeah, you can have them again.
00:22:25.250 --> 00:22:27.476
Don't, don't have one.
00:22:27.476 --> 00:22:29.185
Maybe, just, maybe, just don't.
00:22:29.185 --> 00:22:31.769
I don't know, I just have a bad feeling.
00:22:31.769 --> 00:22:37.635
I feel like if all of a sudden they say like, yeah, no, you can have those again Like it's giving.
00:22:37.635 --> 00:22:39.618
Please do so.
00:22:39.618 --> 00:22:41.461
We can make sure we know who you are.
00:22:42.205 --> 00:22:43.147
Yeah, not, not.
00:22:43.147 --> 00:22:51.474
While the Trump administration is ruling the roost right now and everybody is Republican, I would enchant like exactly.
00:22:51.474 --> 00:22:53.172
Like you said for your own safety.
00:22:53.172 --> 00:22:58.430
Yeah, tracking and all that stuff.
00:22:59.412 --> 00:23:03.218
They have already gone back on stuff that they've said not even a week ago.
00:23:03.218 --> 00:23:09.325
They literally said not even a week ago, we are not going to deport people just because we don't like them, right?
00:23:09.325 --> 00:23:35.461
And then that bishop spoke at trump's inauguration prayer and she dropped the fucking mic on his ass and immediately oh, she should be deported, we need to deport her it's, it's laughable, but it's not because it's he will, you know which makes it fucking crazy.
00:23:35.644 --> 00:23:37.231
It's crazy and scary and terrifying.
00:23:38.047 --> 00:23:40.816
He will do anything he can to make that a reality.
00:23:40.816 --> 00:23:56.446
And it is important to keep in mind that it took less than five months of Hitler being in charge for massive book burnings to start occurring all over Germany, and then camps started opening.
00:23:56.446 --> 00:23:58.332
Actually, camps started opening before that, I think.
00:23:58.332 --> 00:24:00.886
I think a ghetto opened before the book burning started.
00:24:00.886 --> 00:24:08.739
But like, yeah, it's five months, less than a year, less than a year, and shit hit the fan over there like, please, guys, trust your eyes, trust your ears.
00:24:08.739 --> 00:24:21.876
George orwell said it best the first thing they will try to do is tell your eyes that they are not seeing what they are seeing and tell your ears that they are not hearing what they are hearing, and tell your mind that it is not thinking what it is thinking.
00:24:21.876 --> 00:24:25.808
1984, that's a whole concept from that book of 1984.
00:24:25.808 --> 00:24:30.248
The first thing that they are going to do is tell you no, you didn't see what you
thought you saw.
00:24:30.248 --> 00:24:32.153
That's a roman salute right.
00:24:32.194 --> 00:24:33.599
Right, he's just autistic.
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.045
Bullshit, bullshit.
00:24:35.045 --> 00:24:35.945
I'm autistic.
00:24:35.945 --> 00:24:38.828
My autism has never made me do that.
00:24:38.828 --> 00:24:49.079
My autism has made me do some really stupid shit, like, say, transorbital ice pick 82 times in a row because it became a vocal stim because of a song I listened to.
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:51.102
It's never made me do that, though.
00:24:51.102 --> 00:25:07.010
Right, yeah, it's never made me do that though right, yeah so you know, just saying guys, I'm just, I'm just saying trust your eyes, trust your ears, trust your brain yeah, and your sounds like a duck yeah, trust your intuition.
00:25:07.030 --> 00:25:12.230
If it sounds like a duck and it looks like a duck, it's a duck and it's doing a Hitler salute.
00:25:12.711 --> 00:25:14.836
Kill it, shoot the duck.
00:25:14.836 --> 00:25:15.679
Get away from it.
00:25:16.949 --> 00:25:24.849
Okay, on that note, we're going to go into name change stuff more in the Love and Stone episode because that has more to do with that.
00:25:24.849 --> 00:25:41.692
But before we get into that, listen, if you're out there and you're queer and you're considering getting married and you're talking through like the options of when you get married, changing your last name and stuff like that, you don't for one, you don't have to change your last name.
00:25:41.692 --> 00:25:46.671
That's something that you choose to go and do with, usually with your spouse.
00:25:46.671 --> 00:25:52.193
Like you choose to change your last name, you don't just have to change the last one.
00:25:52.193 --> 00:26:02.371
You can change your first name at the exact same time, for way cheaper than going through and just changing your first name when you're getting married.
00:26:02.371 --> 00:26:03.494
Okay, y'all.
00:26:03.494 --> 00:26:06.945
Or you can just change your first name.
00:26:06.945 --> 00:26:13.213
You can get married, use the marriage name change to just change your first name.
00:26:15.744 --> 00:26:17.757
You just blew my mind.
00:26:17.757 --> 00:26:18.421
Wait, what?
00:26:18.421 --> 00:26:20.913
Yeah, that fact is thanks to my mom.
00:26:20.913 --> 00:26:26.632
My mom told me that and then I confirmed it and I was like, oh my god, mom, what?
00:26:26.632 --> 00:26:34.251
Yeah, you can just change your first name and it's a lot cheaper and a lot easier because you're doing it as a marriage thing.
00:26:34.251 --> 00:26:36.410
No one needs to know what you're actually doing.
00:26:36.410 --> 00:26:38.674
You're doing it because you just got married.
00:26:38.674 --> 00:26:40.968
You get so many less questions.
00:26:40.968 --> 00:26:44.656
You don't have to prove to anyone that you've thought about this.
00:26:44.656 --> 00:26:49.351
You just get to change your fucking name nice, nice.
00:26:49.550 --> 00:26:50.192
I love that.
00:26:50.192 --> 00:26:54.878
Right under the radar be gay, cause havoc.
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:56.300
That's my middle name.
00:26:56.300 --> 00:27:03.541
And then, oh my god, we actually do have an interesting fact.
00:27:03.541 --> 00:27:08.273
I'm so happy and it's not that one that one's just an extra for y'all, y'all get an extra one.
00:27:08.374 --> 00:27:14.538
We got a two for today I'm gonna roll score.
00:27:14.538 --> 00:27:15.501
I got a two for today.
00:27:15.501 --> 00:27:16.023
I'm going to roll.
00:27:16.044 --> 00:27:20.494
Score oh my God Can't breathe, all right.
00:27:20.494 --> 00:27:36.680
So, last but not least, our interesting fact the first country to legal, to legalize gender affirming care through sexual reassignment surgeries and HRT was Sweden, in 1972.
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:42.767
Many reports have been claiming Sweden has now banned gender-affirming care for minors, which is not true.
00:27:42.767 --> 00:27:58.847
They have, however, tightened their eligibility criteria for gender-affirming care for minors, so they were the first country to legalize it and, unlike what Republicans have been sharing all over the internet, they have not banned it for minors, they've just tightened the restrictions.
00:27:58.847 --> 00:28:11.993
