Gender Capitalism | Rain Dove | TEDxAUEB

- The effect of social pressure and stereotypes about sex/gender is massive, as there is an urge to a certain direction based only on the sex we were born with. Gender capitalism is the recognition of society’s perception of gender and being able to use that perception in the most advantageous way. It does not mean that people cannot identify with their own gender, it just means they do not recognize the stereotypes society places on that gender. Overall, it means people must exceed the limits of social norms and become advocates for each other.
Rain Dove is the androgynous/agender model who has been in many magazines like W,
Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Cosmo, Harper's Bazaar, etc. She has created several viral
campaigns including a lingerie shoot challenging Victoria Secrets’ beauty standards which
reached over 35 countries. She is also known for her humanitarian action. Her recent video
combatting HB2 has garnered millions of views and has discovered a previously unexposed
illegality to the bill. She also speaks about homelessness and hunger both of which she has
experienced herself. Prior to her fashion career, she was a wilderness firefighter and also
obtained a BA in Genetic Engineering from UC Berkeley.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Great message. And as to people complaining about how nervous she was... We'd all be that nervous if we were talking to that horrible of an audience... most of them were on their phones, or fidgeting like they were bored. Amazing job, Rain!
San Handles I fully agree with you here. She needs help, not a platform. She is deliberately making a show of herself here to get attention, to get others to tell her she has risen above being average like the rest of us. It's why she has that ridiculous name, shows off her armpits, isn't wearing a bra, has that buzzcut. All of it builds into this spectacle so she can get attention and feed an obvious need to be elevated above the rest of us.
Hsoj Retep I'm sad you think that, no dissapointed
Hsoj Retep you're just jealous she's more of a man than you'll ever be.
San Handles which mental illness are you referring to?
Candy Floss That literally means nothing to me. I'm pretty effeminate, so I'm already losing by society's standard for men. lol And the mental illness I am referring to is narcissism.
Why is the audience looking at their phones, looking bored??? WTF? This is a very engaging, exciting, articulate person.
ikr....they must be "real" women thinking about very important womany things XD
+Elisa Castro. No. I mean that numerous people in the audience, inhabiting their birth-assigned bodies, looking bord out of their heads while sitting in the comfortable and seemingly complacent position of having an unambiguous looking body of origin. Good luck to them don't break a nail on the way out, doll.
Karen Ludwig because most humans are still sane and decent.
haaaaaaahaaaaaaa ahaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa
hm not trying to get into a debate here, just a few clarifications. Rain Dove is the name she was given at birth, and as she says, she doesn't care what pronouns you use. The thing is, she is a very androgynous human being, and she is confronted to our society's expectations of what people should look like/act like according to their gender on a daily basis. It's just part of her life, and she couldn't possibly ignore it. So she's anything but an attention seeker.
Entire audience on their phones! Trade seats with me!
Simp
They came for something interesting and new
Yes. This is pathetic, that audience doesn't honor she for her brave
audience sucks, but I love this talk. Forget the nervousness, forget the reading off the screen. THE MESSAGE IS GOLD.
What is gold with having hormonal issues?
+arry starks I agree. brilliance to a vapid audience right over their heads, most of them
arry starks audience is bored because most of us are still sane and decent
arry starks This message will be the downfall of our society.
Great audience.
The audience was a nightmare! Most of them looked as if they had been forced to be there. Why tho?! Don't come. Or leave! Rain still did good. Interesting talk. I would have loved to be there.
*confess i'm two minutes in and i'm fatigued already. 4:56 :) i'm quitting, I can't discern what Rain's message is. . . the delivery was clear and measured but it's like listening to someone talk about the allegory's in The Silmarillion when i've only read the Hobbit.
I think you have to be forced to go to these actually. At gunpoint.
@@regulator7931 Hey I hope you have a merry christmas and a bountiful new year.
oh, let’s see perhaps because she was screaming profanities in their ears? How unprofessional and I would’ve been disgusted and got up and walked out.
Either there was a carbon monoxide leak in the theater or no one spoke english
This person is amazing. You can tell they are new on the stage but if you listen to their message, it is BRILLIANT. To go from a forest firefighter to super model in less than two years and use this new celebrity to educate and bring acceptance.....I hope to see Rain Dove on the cover of every magazine in the supermarket and doing more TED talks for us soon.
she was never a firefighter
If you think this is brilliant then Cthulhu has truly risen. Rejoice. We shall all now know new ways to shout and kill and revel in joy.
+Ian Davidsson are you muslim
are you a crafter of love?
new zealand spearo why do you have to insult other religions when it’s so unnecessary?
Whenever they zoomed in on the audience it always looked like they were watching the cringiest thing ever. I thought rain did well. Just speaking the truth
Actually she lied about anything she said in this video and even admitted to it. Google it if you don't believe me
@@alicealice3267what the. What she said was the EVIDENT truths. What is the to lie about?
@@piratekingthethtaroo just google rain dove apology video, she explained everything there. She deleted the video from her channel but you can still find it online.
I truly envy her. He gets to live as both genders and presumably pass. It's like the final evolved form of gender fluidity. They truly have an inspirational story
This dude is the exact kind of person i want to be. Fun fact, in Persian language (my first language) there is no term such as She or He, basically we don't specify the person's gender when we are talking about them, we use one word for every person and i quite love this part of my language. I'm not gonna talk about historical part of this fact, But if we can call everyone with the same word. I think maybe other languages can change a little bit and do the same thing?! I mean it worked for us! So it can work for others too. I think it will make thing so much easier for all people
Same in armenian 👌(my first language, along with french which I hate because it's even sooo much more gendered than english)
Be in dalil kheeeeiliii khoshhal be yadgirie farsi hastam 😊
same in turkish
Indonesian too
Wow. I love it. Where are you from? I would love talk to your peaple about gender. I think that the most important to a people is gender more gendered is the language.
@@toprakshn I would love to learn turkish as soon as possible, for that same reason and because it's such a beautiful language 💘 (one side of my family spoke it but unfortunately never taught it to us, my siblings and I, but we use a certain amount of borrowed words in western armenian)
It's so frustrating when a great Ted Talks is happening, and the audience are just plain rude? I would've loved to have heard this!
Audience don't need to clap cuz I don't agree with her but it's cool since I support her and her views what ever makes her comfortable. At this age you guys could be who ever you want but when your born it is what it is just know that you can change if you want to
Question: is this an excuse or so?
@@thomgerber ?
@emilyalexandrea Yes? Whats your question?
@@thomgerber Nah, I’m just confused with your comment entirely, and why you’d reply to what I posted over 5 years ago 😂
why was no one laughing, they were so stiff!! rain was so charismatic and funny!
Raven C Because they didn’t think it was funny
Maybe for you only?
Wake up Raven.
Cause it wasn’t funny
This made me sick
'when people get in your way, they are getting in the way of the good you can do for them'. Humanity's biggest truth! Go Rain!
That audience tho...even if they weren't interested, they could have been respectful and listened. On their phone the whole. time.
Don't blame them
why should they listen SHE IS LYING about most things she said. She said it herself
Well, everything she says here is a lie, I don't blame them
@@marcosantos3381 which parts are you referring to?
@@pinkyo293 pretty much anything she said related to her bio: education, career,...and even stuff she said on other occasions, such as texts and dms she faked, stories involving herself and other people.. the list goes on and on.
She once maid an apology video where she talked about most ot the things she lied about, but then she deleted it. Just google rain dove liar.
I saw the title and thought it was gonna be about the capitalist system's stereotypes on gender. I am completely shaken.
I love Rain Dove! What an awesome, sweet and authentic person.
Authentic? They lied about ever being a firefighter and later admitted it.
hard to watch i can’t imagine my boredom if i was in the audience
A woman who lived as a man learnt the grass isn’t greener.
Male suicide is very high because men have been conditioned not to talk.
It’s time to talk.
Well said!!!!!!
Yep!
Prime example of how toxic masculinity bad for everyone.
i'm annoyed at how uninvested the audience seems during this speech. the phrasing is a little off in some points, but at it's core, it's a very compelling topic.
We're not all as excited as you. Why do you criticise us for it?
It's cause they're a bunch of basic people.
Stephwinsyouknow 🤣🤣
What do you want them to do?
@@trez735 if you arent, then why would you be there to listen to someone that is nervous, talk about a topic like this, and then not listen and completely disrespect the person talking?
“Look at the audience everyone is so different” and literally every chick and dudes in the audience looks almost the same😂
You must be blind.
They really do :D
Jesus... the title alone...
Solidarity pee? I'm so glad I've gone 30s without experiencing that.
Androgynous tall girls are gold dust for modelling industry.
Rain is such a beautiful human being.
Sparrow Wilder she needs help. Otherwise, you must want her to kill herself....they have the highest suicide rate!!
Agreed. Beautiful person.
No she isn't! She needs psychiatric intervention quick!
@@RosannaMiller because of people in society who are all judging. Rain is different because she is owning her story and doesn't care about your opinion. For others it's more difficult. We all just want to be accepted and contribute something.
???
Was it a non-english speaking audience? Rain is a very engaging speaker, but the audience acted like they were just there for extra credit or something.
Yes this talk was given in greece.
@@yc2557 that makes sense then
Great audience
Can’t blame them
Wonderful speech! When the truth is spoken many people feel uncomfortable but biodiversity is present everywhere in the universe and we are obviously no exception. Needing to put things in a box to be able to label them seems like a childish way to simplify our existence for fear of the unknown. It's time we embraced the unknown!
How is self-mutilation relevant to biodiversity?
Biodiversity means species diversity. We're all humans, dear.
And if you really wanted to stop society from putting "things in a box to be able to label(...)to simplify our existence for fear of the unknown.", The lgbt+ activist wouldn't have invented the names and "definitions" of +60 more genders (especially since all those "definitions" were just personality traits).
These 1st world spoiled brats are complaining about old stereotypes that have little to no influence in developed countries, especially to THEM who can do whichever job and have whichever hobby they desire without being publicly and legally reprimanded (they are even encouraged to be in fields they were not able to be in when stereotypes were still a living issue, which is fine).
They are literally bringing back already solved culturally issues while ignoring real legal, criminal, humanitarian and economic problems of the present.
Ungrateful fools is what I think their pronoun should be.
Omg having two genders is not a bad thing
Basically be yourself and do what you want whoever you are without the hangups. Capitalize on yourself.
Great message and Rain is very cool, just remember that we don't need the elimination of genders and labels to believe that.
Wow! No words. Thank you Rain! This is an example of why our world does not value truth. The more accurately it is spoken the more distant people become.
LAUGH AUDIENCE XD damn
Kai Hyu I knoooooooowww
shes not funny..
Cassius Dio their jokes were funny but they were nervous so they messed up the delivery
thats called failing.
It's just the mic feed that's why you can't hear the audience
I call people by their first name. I enjoy the topic. boomer here. We invented new words/ideas during the culture revolution. I have an open mind, ready to learn new ideas. It has served me well in these decades. I'm a forever student. That's part of my purpose for this Earth Human journey. What a rich journey this is!
We are spirit on a Human journey. The energy body is eternal. The physical body is our Earth vessel, becomes old and stop. Many have been to Earth journey many times before .... had different physical bodies in both gender and ethnicity.
In order to choose "another" identity, you must first believe in the gender beliefs that already exist. Which gives those stories more power.
So some people are upset because they believe that they are not socially attractive, or privileged?
And so they will morph into something else?
I've read through this entire comment section and I'll be honest, the love far outweighs the hate. But it's the same few people who are trying to stop the hate. Please, if you can, don't just spread the love, stop the hate too. In whatever way you can, as long as you don't hurt anyone.😊😊😊
The only way to stop hate is to spread love.
She lied about being a firefighter and studying genetics. Who knows what else she lied about.
I liked the talk and what was said but the video taping was pretty bad.... too many far away shots and then the pictures that were being shown on the screen I couldnt see....
We also didn't need to see the audience bored out of their skulls
Sybil Rights *they
That audience was straight up rude, when someone is giving a presentation you need to be respectful and listen!!!
This comment section is terrible so many people are being negative and its just ridiculous.
What a beautiful human being
She complained about not being an "attractive" woman, but even talked a lot about choosing her hairstyle. Maybe it wasn't that she was destined not to be an attractive woman. Maybe she just chose it (I'm talking purely about looks, which she talked about; I'm sure she might have a wonderful personality but I don't know her).
You should probably raise your standards
Feline Fillet why don't you let people choose who they like?
No its not
You are an inspiration. Your energy and message is clear and positive. I can say you have made a beautiful difference in my life! Thank you so very much!
Inspiration for what? To have mental, or hormonal issues?
Vipera01 agree!
One two I think you're secretly Vipera and you're just following your other account around to make it seem like you have people who agree with you. Just a theory cOUGH
I only have one account.
Vipera01 DAMMIT! My theory is totally ruined, and yet i was so certain of it... I guess everything i believe may not be fact.,. hm..
Dang, I wish I can hug you and thank you for having this talk.
Very, very interesting. I realised that I have adjusted my posture and output to suit all sorts of situations. Through this many of my friends from different times of my life, different work situations of my life, know me as a different person. If two of my friends from different situations described me to a stranger, that stranger would think that I was two different people. Basically the same, kind, thoughtful, but after that it would go in different paths because of how I had to portray myself to survive in the particular situation I was in at the time. My gender didn't change per se, but the type of female I was, was perceived as different.
15:06 fall of man
This does nothing to fight harmful gender norms. This is taking advantage of it and becoming a con artist, helping no one but yourself.
Get this man some help
I feel comfortable knowing I'm not alone. It's hard coming out and explaining myself to other people.
Aw rain is so cute so sad the audience couldn’t embrace her brilliance at much as she deserved
I don't understand why other christians cry about gender, the physical and material. Isn't it the soul that matters? We were given a life and freewill, societal construct is not equivalent to science. I feel like her message went right over a lot of people's heads lol
Sei Wot Naoh: Christianity has nothing to do with it. She is crying out for help - is anyone truly listening?
We are Christians, not Gnostics.
Sei Wot Naoh
Stop acting like you sooo “open-minded” when you just blamed Christianity for all of the problems. You aren’t going anywhere if you are blaming someone/something.
Sei Wot Naoh Its actually the opposite. Christianity is more concerned with our higher virtues that are found in christ and his teachings. The ones I see obsessing with gender is the leftist progressives.
that so?
Weird, I thought women weren't allowed to be priests or popes...
Not to mention women being the literal source of mankind's greatest sin...
And in the new testament, women have no protagonism. The few apocrypha that have women protagonists were declared heretic by christian "authorities" of the time. (the only "authority" they had was self-naming themselves like that)
In fact, most gnostic works seem to point out that christianity had a more "dualistic" and "male is equal to female" approach, with jesus being just half of an Aeon, and Sophia (wisdom, female) being the other half.
But it seems like christian "authorities" didn't like that very much. It was so much so, that a lot of gnostic teachings were found in bottles in the dead sea...Just so that those "authorities" didn't destroy them.
Do you really believe that there is no gender inequality in christianism, now?
It’s sad that audience threw her rythym off because that was really good.
im so tired of them forcing us this way. Boy george was humilated back in the 80s, but he fought tooth n nail together with his massive global fans. That was genuinely strong. This one seems pathetically forced.
Rain's message is simply golden 💛
it's all lies babe. Just google it if you don't believe me. Most of the things she said on this talk are lies, she admitted it herself.
@@alicealice3267 nothing found. Reported.
@@ClemCuttie reported to who? 😂 The gender police? Rain dove made a video where apologized to all the lies she said in this video then deleted it
Rude audience. Dynamic speaker and very nice person. I did not agree with what the speaker was saying but I've really never seen that level of ignorance come from an audience. Rain did so well to get through it.
She kind of tanked
When I say that I could listen to rain for hours, I mean this Rain
you know she's a liar, right?
I have so much admiration for Rain Dove! Their strength, charisma, likeability and sense of humour. A really enjoyable talk.
How about "it's alive!" That would be the message I'd care about. You can be anything. You are everything. Everyone is a you. Alive would actually give a useful fact straight off the bat. Though it would remind of the chance that they could be not alive. That got sad... anyways. Great talk, Rain! You did awesome, even though the audience was sh** not paying attention. They had to pay to be there, why would they waste it, the time, on their phones when there's an awesome performer to watch and interact with such as you?
There was a time in my personal evolution, when I would have listened to this for 2 seconds and, not been kind towards your views. At THIS point in my life, I consider you such a breath of fresh air. Gender is highly outdated, humanism, being the best human we can be, such a top notch idea. You are inspiring. Thank you for your talk. I have subscribed, and find your views, freeing!
You are amazing!!! I am so inspired by your power!!! That audience is dead
lol yeah, the audience is cringe
I think they're in pure SHOCK. Rain Dove challenges our existing gender structures - BOTH of them. I think the audience is dead quiet because they're trying to understand how to interpret everything. They're mindblown.
I just think it’s because she was a bad speaker. Her nervousness made it a cringe fest.
@Jose Luis Smart and intelligent, huh? Too smart to even listen in the first place, right? That's called willful ignorance, the complete opposite of intelligence.
@@nibbatron6283 no Jose Luis is right the audience is intelligent enough to know they are being deceived. How would you like it if i teach you lies by saying that a square and a circle are the same
I feel like Rain Dove didn't practice enough but I did enjoy the message of the talk - too much looking down at the notes, nervous laughter, and speaking too quickly. But still an enlightening talk!
oceanx102 rain just was nervous probably about taking about something that some people see wrong
Rain was just nervous . When I have to speak in front of many people for a presentation etc. I do to look at my notes all the time and speak really quickly even tho I remember everything word by word. Still. As you said, enlightening talk!
Rain Dove said at the beginning that this was going to be a most nerve racking thing to do. People who don't have the guts to stand up and talk in public are the first to complain about nerves in speakers
oceanx102 I love your profile pic
Certainly because the audience was so rude. Like looking at their phones, watches, looking down, yawning. It's difficult to speak about such things before bored and closed minded people.
jesus why did i not know of him before now? like just now recently i've struggled with gender stereotypes because im amab just trying to navigate the world trying to figure out who i am. i needed this xd like f**k he's like the actual royalty of gender. idk what else to say but an icon truly 😭💜
Totally awesome person
shes got the body of a beautiful woman, and the face of a beautiful man. Pretty unique....

Rain dove is one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen to this day
She's a compulsive liar and has admitted it herself. She lied in this video too. She has even ruined other people's lives with her lies. Still think she is great?
Cannot stop laughing
Some really great points. Though I've never tried to pass as a guy...and probably couldn't without considerable effort, I have to admit there have been many times....when I've encountered men who are clearly stereotyping me as a woman.....that I have felt that the best and often ONLY way to manage the situation was to totally let them assume whatever it is they are assuming...not waste time and energy trying to correct them....but instead, let their own flawed assumptions/stereotypes/expectations (or lack thereof) be exactly what they are....namely their own handicap.
This women is extremely courageous for this tedx. Insight
I got real pisses off when my midwife asked if it was a boy or a girl when I gave birth when I already explained I didn’t wanna figure that out straight away
I really like Rian. I can almost feel the pain rain has went through in life because of how misinformed and cruel some people can be. This really made me question reality and how I perceive other people. I think everyone should be made to watch this video.
those people in the audience are so obnoxious I'm so mad
fiona balleret me too!
maybe they are just bored
You mean triggered
Of course you are
I just wanna *s l i g h t l y* bend her mic awayyyyy from his mouth

@@vanessared765 dude ?
i think part of the reason the audience doesn't laugh at her jokes is because she laughs at them first
This person is soooo cool and hilarious. What an awesome tedtalk!
This person is a liar and an abuser and should not being given a platform
This audience is terrible. Wonderful person, wonderful TED talk
i literally love him so much though i wish i could share my thoughts like this without being perceived as a "social justice warrior"
well rain is biologically a woman so even in your narrow perspective surely it was an acceptable thing for her to do
She's not condescending like a social justice warrior
did you just assume its gender?
That's because Rain seems like an open and nice person. I don't know if you are just from your comment.
H3LL4C1OUS liberal
SHE DID A TED TALK?? omg majorly obsessed
Them: picks up arm * ugh
Me: work it.
Btw her nervous laughs make me go djjdkdos
This topic was was unfortunately over the heads of many in the audience and many in the comment section. I was born without gender inter-sexed they classified it. But as in nature there's many nuances and adaptations. He did well nerves and all and her message will reach those it needs to. It doesn't think everyone should or will express themselves as she does. Just be you and stay the F&$K out of the way of others you may not understand. Everyone is not the same and you never know everything about whom you meet. Rain Dove so happy your out and educating others beautiful being inside and out. You are a muse for my work.
Erik Victory I know Rain dove is not intersexed, I said I was.
woah are you really?
amazongirl13 (lol 2 year old comment but whatever) Just to note, when using gender pronouns, it’s usually best to stay consistent when referring to the same person in a particular context. Even though Rain said they were fine with any pronouns, using “he,” “she,” AND “it,” to refer to them all in the same paragraph gets a little confusing so I’d just stick with one.
"I don't have time for this, im going to be both, I want every advantage I can get" - at least shes honest that this disrespect to societal norms is ENTIRELY selfish
Don't misgender it please
That's all this is.. EGO 110%. They want to bully people into doing what THEY want. The idea that this person is anything other than a statistical anomaly is just wrong scientifically, if she's intersect. Fact is these people want to control everything in society and it is hilarious that they think we are going to just fall in line and ignore thousands of years of societal norms. The sheer ignorance and audacity it has to say these things is truly astonishing. Get some mental help and stop forcing your delusions on the world.
Why My imaginary Image of Capitalism is Responsible for My Mental Illness would be a more fitting title.
The idea of taking most advantage of your gender really has nothing to do with Capitalism. It advocates maximizing profits and happiness through non-binary gender performance, so it’s more like, gender hedonism, or gender utilitarianism.
"I don't have time to be disadvantage...I got important things to do in this planet and now i made a living of that mentality. "
It's funny that in this gender restrictive culture she was able to made a living of it.
I agree with this talk so much! Most people who blame the audience for being bored don't realise that the talk is not well structured in the beginning though.
At first, I was very confused, but then I realised how the ideas lightened are interesting 🤔 it’s actually a nice superpower to be a woman in some situations and a man in others. It’s very advantageous!
wow they're gorgeous AND articulate??? how did ze gain these powers
The body is just a vehicle chosen by the spirit to briefly travel through this 3D world on a short little trip and learn what it needs to learn. Our spirits chose the body we were born with along with all the challenges, problems, strengths, and weaknesses. This (hu)man was blessed with being able to experience dual perspectives with insights worth listening to. Thank you, beautiful human - wonderful speech!
Well, I actually enjoy those facts Rain pointed out about especially being over human population. Some audiences may experience difficulties about this topic, which means they may have their own ways of identity differentiation and logic thoughts of the way they were raised. So don't mind the audiences.
I'd love to see her perform in the middle east, it would be a warm welcome ♥
Gender behaviour and social distinctions exist regardless of the regime, civilisation, time or economic system whether it's capitalism, communism, feudalism, mercantalism, or even isolated tribalism where it exists today thus naturally suggesting it's at least some what biologically determined rather than purely an environmental construction.
I'm so done with the audience...
ANYWAYS
YASS YES MY LOVELY ANGEL SLAYED THIS TALK FSDK
The world needs to know more of this
I am multiple years too late! Man would I really be more aware of more things if I had seen this when it came out. They are such a wonderful and intriguing person and I love how invested they are in gender non-conforming fashion. I'm just so sad that they were so nervous about presenting, knowing anxiety myself I can see it all over their face :(
I’m a disabled student. Could some kind soul help me with my bills? Thanks $astralharmony cash app
I’ll pay it forward
It doesn't make me sad that they were nervous. It makes me feel proud of their bravery. No one can be automatically good at everything. I have anxiety too but I've been trying hard to step out of my comfort zone. That's how we grow!
Awesome Ted talk. Just found this and hit deep. One of the best Ted Talks I think. thank you for bringing this to light
Why is she wearing no shoes.. bro got his feet all out
THE MULAN REFERENCE
Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me saaaaame
I'm crying since the speech and Rain Dove in general are so inspirational. I'd have loved to be in that audience.
SHE SAID "SO GET THE F....OUT OF MY WAY" SHE DEFINITELY HAS WOKE ME UP FROM FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF....OMG 😱😢🖖🤞✌👸👸👸🍹🍸
I'm gonna call you a HUMAN!
Let me off this wild ride I want to go back to the 90’s.
She's so cute. Love her laughs.
It's hard to deliver a speech to any Non-English speaking audience
I feel real all of a sudden….i was born female and or AFAB, but I look very masculine in the face and kinda sound like a guy too.
It’s not been an easy life dealing with that.
But now, mostly on my own I’m constantly called a guy by literally everyone in passing it’s weird…but then I found out that people who are born looking similar to me exist via Rain dove.
I’m honestly really happy that people like me exist.
I don't understand how her voice passed for male.
Neurosis, self-delusion, and collectivist dogmatism - that explains this ideology.
Hey, allow me to explain what I mean by 'ideology'. This current wave of identity politics attacking the binary of gender stems from a philosophical tradition knows as Kantianism and later Phenomenology. What Kantianism strove to do, after the growth of Enlightenment Ideals that emphasized human reason and potential to intepret and improve the world through empirical (scientific) knowledge and brought about a new paradigm that was materialistic and non-supernatural, was to defend to existence of God by stating that there are two realms in existence - One that is 'Phenomena' and occurs within the scale of human perception, and another realm is 'Noumena' which explains for such intuitive feelings like belief in the existence of God that can't be explained by reason or science (or Kant believed; today we understand this belief as stemming from an underdevelopment in certain regions of the brain). Anyways, the 'Noumena' defends the belief in things that are Irrational and would spawn a series of philosophical movements including Irrationalism and Post-Modernist critique like Dadaism which accept no accountability for their incongruencies or inconsistencies in their philosophical doctrine or statements and claims that human feeling and intuitive are more accurate than reason. When this speaker says things like, "And you're taught about yourself in a scientific way," she is attacking the validity of science and human reason (without perhaps realizing the ideological stance she is taking and the tradition she is following) to comprehend reality, and this is fundamentally flawed because disciplines like physics, chemistry, and biology have PROVEN that science is, in fact, the most comprehensive way of surely interpreting reality and interpreting evolutionary behavior in our species, not by solely 'feeling' or 'faith' or 'belief'. When Rain Dove says, "You are more than this vessel," she is mimicking the Baptist minister at the alter who says, "You are more than this vessel, your spirit (insert fiction gender) is real, and God (this pseudo-scientific Gender movement) is real, and it doesn't matter what science can prove, as long as you believe in it!" People that advocate positions such as what Rain Dove is advocating are incorporating that same measure of Dogmatism into an area where it does not belong as science is about inquiry and testing until proof is found and there is no proof in what she is saying about a gender that defies biological conception but there is proof of a binary with abnormalities (yes, abnormalities that are atypical) with individuals who have both genitals or neither or change through puberty. It is a complex discussion but one that should not be so overly simplified. Putting on a dress does not make you a woman, neither does wearing a hat make you a man.
Bryce Clark May I ask, why do you see the binary gender system as so beneficial? How can "logic, reason, and science" dismiss the existence of a range of human experiences in interacting with gender categories throughout human history? You talk about this difference relying on the use of different epistemes but really I think the crux of your conversation comes down to ethics--- how do you ethically condone the marginalization of "abnormal" identities? I also want to introduce the fact that all epistemes are imperfect, yes even science. Science is limited to the scope of observable phenomena and what can be empirically measured, an imperfect process especially when it comes to gender. Historically science has been used to confirm biases and the authority of science has been used to justify really cruel homophobia in the example of Sigmund Freud. Why do you maintain that science upholds the binary, and why morally do you think that is justifiable?
She can deepen it
She isn't on any hormones they probably just thought she was a young dude who's voice didn't change much.
Thank you Rain Dove. This is water on what was parched soil. In your being yourself I feel more free to be me.
We are all beings of light living living this experience. We are a sacred blend of the masculine AND feminine, regardless of the genitals one possesses. We are all valid and beautiful just as we are, and it is a natural right to express oneself precisely to that which feels most uplifting and inspiring to the heart 🙏
Objective truth is different than personal, subjective prefferences...
I wish i was there among the audience, so that i could pick my phone and ignore this.
