- There is a 90% risk that you will get in trouble with the straight world order at some point in your life. It is a system that puts masculinity, traditional gender roles and men at the top of the chart, and not only homosexuals, bisexuals and trans*people are at risk. If we can find ways to end or weaken the straight world order we would all have something to win. But of course some would have more to win than others.
Mads Ananda Lodahl has spend the last 10 years writing articles and books and giving lectures at schools, universities and festivals with the purpose of destroying what he calls the straight world order, and making life easier for everyone in conflict with it.
He is going to continue doing this.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

A lot of people seem to be taking his words the wrong way. He's not attacking straight people. He's attacking the societal norms that force people to hide themselves to be safe, that make the world needlessly dangerous and difficult for certain groups, and put a very small, undeservedly exalted group on a pedestal. He doesn't care if you're straight, gay, cis, trans- he wants to change the way society views people based on those things.
@Donovan Harvey No one cares.
I was born with a vision defect. Parents did not send me to a special school, so I learned in a normal local school, where everyone expected everyone else to be normal. But I was not normal. I was overly cautious, put my eyes close to books, avoided lots of activities which were dangerous to me. And, of course, I was bullied and got my ass kicked often because I was not normal.
So, "straight world order" is not just about sexual attraction or gender behavior differences. It is about majority's attitude to minorities. The attitude is usually aggressive, especially in teenage years when kids are full of energy and overwhelmed by hormone storms.
***** Thanks for the appreciation!
Yeah I was bullied just for being not that athletic. Kids will kill you for anything
THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!
"When you choose to hide the little part of you that deviates from the straight norm, that is a choice you make for other people too."
"The hierarchies of the straight world order are not built on merit."
"People may not live up to your expectations to them, but that is not a problem-it's not a threat to you-it's not a mistake or failure that you need to fix."
It is very difficult to put into words how wonderful this talk is.
We have so far to go, but thank you!
This might be one of the best speeches I've ever heard!
Brilliant: "You should know when you choose to hide that little part of you that makes you deviate from the norm that is a choice you make for other people too"
It's such a shame people have misunderstood him. So much. wow - I have been trying to articulate this for a long time - he does it so much better. Beautiful. He isn't slagging straight people or heterosexuality - not at all - he is criticising the structures that uphold the lie that heterosexuality is normal, that it is at the top of some apex or hierarchy of deserving sexualities. Such a hierarchy only exists because we play into it - that is his point. He didn't call himself a deviant in the sense that deviance is bad - seeing deviance in that way is to collude with the straight world order - his use of deviate, and all its attendant forms simply means that he deviates from the heterosexual norm that is anyway a lie.
How exactly is heterosexuality not the norm? How is it a lie?
+Parthalam Lancer can I please get a link?
I think heterosexuality as a social norm is an imposition called scientifically normal. In a truly gender and sexual orientation neutral society heterosexuality would be just one sexuality among others and ther range of sexualities would be far more evenly practiced, We are strongly, from the moment of our births, socialised into one gender or or other and into heterosexuality (usually). Gender and sexuality are social and cultural constructions largely based on our biological sex. There is no neurological ()hormonal/sex hormone/the drivers of sexual orientation) evidence to suggest that heterosexuality is normal ergo is it not natural that it ought be the statistical norm either. That is how I understand it. It is by and large our cultural and social milieu that embeds the accepted norms around most things gender and sexuality included.
@Livin Gunk no man, thats hate speech. If the patriarchy was not ruling the world (with the illuminati) beautiful genderfluid people would be able to generate children from the power of their happy thoughts and tumblr images
He’s on point in everything he says. I love this guy.
thank you for letting me know and making me think and having made an impact on me and giving me the chance to become a better and more supportive fellow human and for giving me strength and courage to stand up for the real ME. thank you.
Copenhagen and the world has to change. The more differences that are accepted, the more we will understand each other. It is only through understanding each other that we can progress and succeed as a society.
Right, no more hiding. I'm wearing eyeliner every day from now on. And about time I got myself a wig and some feminine clothes too. (I'm genderqueer but I look male most of the time)
It's awesome reading this comment, and then checking your channel to see you made HUGE progress. Wow Keep being you!
@@ruthtrentwood3374 aw thanks. Turns out I'm a woman. Been on hormones for about two and a half years now. Weird seeing that old comment of mine. Wig? Lol. I just needed to grow my hair. Thanks for the kind comment.
@@Technoidmania I was so happy as well when I saw this nine year old comment and could see your evolution
@@Hoptimistline yeah what a journey it's been 😊
I've been in trouble since I started questioning about gender. You'll only notice problems when you start questioning them.
FINALLY! THIS IS GENIUS! BEST TED TALK YET!
I suspect most of the negative comments come from usamericans who have little to know experience with or knowledge of other cultures. He is Scandinavian. They are to a great extent socially minded, forward thinking and strive toward equality. As do the Dutch who have a long history struggling toward real tolerance, understanding and acceptance of all. He is a Dane and they have a history also of standing against tyranny and oppression. His war is against attitudes and stereotypes NOT heterosexuals.
But the hostile reaction of some is interesting because when the bigot heterosexuals let loose their vile poison verbally in public or at CZcams making war against homosexuals, especially in the usa there is no outcry as here against this man.
what makes you think its us americans? Do you know any americans that you are personally friends with? I feel like that's not a fair assumption to make, are there no other people with closed minds in other parts of the world? England? Italy? Czechia?
Yay!! Bang that drum. It's about time we get angry. I was never bullied at school but - I completely fed in to the straight world order: I punished myself.
This really is my favorite TED talk ever. I've watched it 3 times already, and I can't stress how good a job Mads does putting our society's gender hierarchy into perspective. Everyone needs to watch it, bar none.
This is an incredible speech
Well spoken. Thank you for your articulation!
Thank you for giving me the courage to be who I am.
Absolutely brilliant.
Its like he read my subconscious mind that i usually keep to myself
This talk is so powerful and moving.
Uncanny Ally I'm Gay and I didn't like this talk. If you read the comments a lot of Gay people didn't like this talk.
Happy Eccentrics why do you in particular not like it?
There is no such thing as a "straight world order" just the name sounds fucking ridiculous.
@@wolfstar675 Well if you go round with a hoodie over your eyes and ears, you're not going to be able to tell much eh?
Thank you for your talk.
Great talk. Shared this on fb.
Great talk!
Bring back Dave with the long hair and swaying hips!
Wow! This is the best TED talk I've ever heard! This guy is fantastic! I never heard that term The straight world order. I find it shocking that there is so much discrimination in Denmark!! I thought all the Scandinavian countries were so progressive and so liberal. That's what shocked me the most about the speech. I feel baffled. Nevertheless, I think the speech was so powerful and necessary.
The problem is that everyone thinks the same as you in denmark aswell, even though LGBT people are still suffering. Probably still it is better than a lot of places in the world:)
Mind-blowing. Beautiful. Thanks a lot, Mads.
I am so moved by this talk. He is so correct in every aspect and I even had a moment where I imagined what it would be like if every cis, straight white male vanished (or men of other cultures that equally repress and are violent towards anyone who isn’t exactly like them) and you know what? There would be peace. There would be no war. People could be who they want to be.
Thanks for this insightful , thought provoking talk the world needs this mirror:-)
Brilliantly put.
My sentiments exactly
Really good video.
This is gold
This video was just great. I wanna share it with my fellows. Does anybody have the subtitles in spanish?
Mads
Absolutely something the whole world needs to process and understand! Perfect video! When did we forget that we're all humans... :/
I hope to see a future with more equity and diversity. True strength comes from those that protect others.
amen!
Fantastisk rørende og skarp tale!
This is the perfect TED Talk except for whoever is loudly talking in the background. You can distinctly hear them around the 13 to 14 minute mark. As someone who suffers from some weird learning disability where outside noise completely obliterates and derails my concentration AND short term memory on the topic at hand, it's very frustrating listening to this and trying not to have my brain shift to that voice. Otherwise. 10/10 talk. Would have rated 11/10 if it wasn't for whoever was in the background.
Anyone should be happy to be whoever they want to be. No one has the right to criticize or even punish someone who they do not think to fit in the norm. what is normal anyway? child molestation, maybe animal cruelty? maybe the bible has had a negative impact on our perspective of what lgbt is. a book without an author published hundreds of years ago to which everyone bows down to. Ignorance at its max, but as einstein stated once, stupidity will always be infinite.
+Vanessa Ferreira Now you nailed it like a boss! :)
Greetings from Brazil.
Actually, the bible has several authors, and they are not hidden in any way. Just saying.
boris alright so who wrote Mathew mark luke and John (hint: the answer isn’t Mathew, mark, Luke, or John)
Wooow 👏👏👏👏👏👏
anyone familiar with Kate Bornstein's work? i d like to quote as Mads puts it : "The straight world order is a hierarchy that puts the heterosexual masculine man who is not transgendered at the top, and gets everyone in trouble who can't be, be like, or be liked by him" but i would like to know the original content/text
Thanks! Ill check it out.
The gays want a World Order he is just blameing us for World Order
Mads er bare så interessant, det han siger bør vi lytte til.
👏👏👏👏
我們要戰鬥下去
Do you think that this talk is to help straight people or LGBT people understand each other and themselves? I hope so but I'm not so sure.
+It Gets So Hard To Breathe Down Here
Why?
Ok. Its like one hour I've been witching a different motivations film's. Every person speaks are so beautiful that almost true...
But its not
brewek666 how is what he’s saying not true?
I’ve never felt so guilty for being in the closet.
Why do people say "straight", nut not hetero?
I like the part of him pointing out that straight males did nothing to earn the place at the top of the hierarchy. Also at the top are mothers. I am child free by choice and just a week ago I was speaking to someone I had met a few months ago at sporting events ( we're equestrians) and I told her that I have no children. She goes " oh, I'm sorry " . Meaning, oh what a pity you never had the joy of being a mother. I'm not bashing parents. I'm pointing out that the norm was not met, therefore; I am the deviant or a person who should be regarded as less.
Why is he getting attacked and spit on? I thought Europe was enlightened compared to the United States. I am an American, and although I know homosexuals experience persecution, I don't think they experience any more persecution in America than any other person that doesn't fit the norm in some way.
People are persecuted because of their weight, height, hair color, skin color, occupation, attire, mannerisms, accent, socio-economic status, education, and any number of other factors.
Of course, no one should be harassed or personally attacked for any personal characteristic or lifestyle choice. Then again, none of those things should earn anyone special consideration, either.
We all have the right to live our lives and make our choices. And we all have the right to be treated respectfully as fellow humans. We do not have the right to demand that our abnormal, unhealthy choices be accepted as normal and healthy. And that's where society struggles.
Compared to the states it probably is, but it's still not perfect.
@@cee4049 Probably from more of the imports
"Ending The Straight World Order". I haven't watched the video, but those are definitely fighting words.
People are getting more comfortable with being themselves, but only two weeks ago two friends of mine were attacked by seven men at the central train station in Copenhagen because they were holding hands. Holding hands can be dangerous, walking in a manner that is considered feminine can be dangerous for a man and the same for a woman who presents herself in a manner that is considered masculine. For trans* people it can be even more dangerous. Don't be fooled by seeing gay people out and about
Björgvin Útíheimi maybe it would be better if people just minded their own damn business and maybe NOT attack people for holding hands? That seems like the SANE thing to do
Homosexuals are no better than heterosexuals and heterosexuals are no better than homosexuals. People need to judge people as individuals and not by gender or sexuality etc. I say it because there is this behavior of applauding anybody who says "I'm gay" and they get responses like "you are a role model" "you are an inspiration" why? He is just gay. Sexuality shouldn't give you benefits or applauses only what you contribute to the world sexuality is just that sexuality.
+Enrique Godinez Exactly! Nobody wants to be a hero or brave just because they are being themselves, but for actually achieving something.
+Enrique Godinez I like how this guy is going to a bunch of gay ted talks and copypasting the same idiocy over and over again.
Straight and non-straight people are not treated the same. There are still a lot of rights non-straight people don't have and are still fighting for today. I'm putting myself at a disadvantage in this society when I'm openly accepting who I am, allowing the possibility that straight people in power who have a bias will discriminate against me. I'm statistically opening myself up to a higher percentage of violence and depending on where I live, even getting killed (especially if I'm trans).
So please, stop the whining. Educate yourself.
Rationale brought to you care of Danny Duchamp.
The Cecelia Trans-woman attack in Copenhagen. The accused claimed she called him a "Mog Perker", which is a derogatory term for someone from the Middle East. Which would be a strange claim to make if the accused wasn't from the Middle East. What actual ideology promotes intolerance towards LGBT and is synonymous with the Middle East? Hint: It's not called the Straight World Order.
Oh yeah, it's peasant religions, but school boys (mostly) buy into the stereotypes. Exposure and education is the key and making private schools follow a curriculum in all ares.
I had assumed that Denmark was a particularly progressive place where you simply wouldn't see much homophobic violence, was I wrong? I'm trans myself and walking around Sydney can shit me to no end with the daily inevitability fuck fest of condescending smirks and underhanded comments by a poxy minority...but being bashed in the head with a hammer? I don't think I could see that happening.
+syphorx7
A lot of people in Denmark (especially in Corpenhagen) want to believe we are such a tolerant people. I many ways we are, but it is definitely not all people who are tolerant at all. I don't want to lie and say I am a super duper tolerant guy. I want to be tolerant, but that's something else. There is a difference between "to be" and "want to be".
The muggles will always look at us strangely.
@@jeppe.ejsing.christensen of course there is but if you attack or harass another person then you are wrong. Not to mention the “pretty tolerant BUT” views you have are entirely BECAUSE of the “straight world order” and how you’ve been TAUGHT what’s NORMAL !! Lol !!
Very nice speech, though ive seen countless gay couples in the streets of copenhagen. I even saw a gay couple today.
Who your Daddy?
GodHead.. or Leviathan...
or Lilith...a demon..of feminine.spirit...
This guy is insufferable.
Jack William how
So don't watch him...?
Yank?
You must be at the top of the straight world order and can’t understand. Must be nice up there eh buddy ?
Idiocracy
If homosexuality is the norm wouldn't that be an evolutionary blunder?
You didn't watch the video, did you..
kevin hunt he’s not saying he wants homosexuality to be the new norm. He’s commenting on the current norm and how it hurts varying people, and that we need a completely new norm.
The reason why the straight world order is so successful because it is fruitful.. Children... You know, the ones we used to be...
If I said "I hate the Gay world order" you would call me a homophobe, but you're not a heterophobe ? (Notice the dictionary in my phone came up with "homophobe" suggestion when I wrote "homop" yet heterophobe was not in the dictionary, minority privileges pfff.)
+GrandDan0is
If you hate heterosexuals simply because they are heterosexual, then you are a heterophobe, but this has nothing to do with Mads Ananda Lodal's speech. He doens't hate heterosexuals. How often do you hear people say "I hate heterosexuals, they are disgusting!" and how often do you hear people say "I hate homosexuals, they are disgusting!"?
it's not about heterophobia, it's about political correctness.
Callie S Get a reality check. I suggest Ben Shapiro on CZcams.
The gay world order is more existing than a straight world order.
Look at media ffs.
GrandDan0is
"Look at media" = Best argument ever.....
How many heterosexuals are being killed for beings heterosexuals?
And how many homosexuals are being killed for being homosexuals?
if david had kept his long hair and swiviling hips he'd probably be dead now. he was trying to survive. this narrator does not appear the least bit feminine and should not speak for men who are. the narrator can pass for straight.
cammer i don’t get your point..?
Straight world order? Tedx really has no standards
Taylor Britton How do you expect people to take you serious with that profile pic?
You didn't watch the video, did you?
Def didn’t watch the video just read the title eh ?
so other wise "when in doubt blame the straight people "for all your physical pain and suffering !?!?
what ever happened to gay on gay violence what makes that ok
You misrepresented his argument, and then disagreed with your own misrepresentation. That's called a strawman.
He's not blaming straight people, he's saying that the straight world order is harmful, even to straight people, and even uses examples of straight people who have suffered because of it. Maybe you should watch it again and take more careful notes.
And while you are doing that, could you point out where anybody said that gay on gay violence is ok? I missed that part entirely, even after watching a second time.
Lillian Graham Gay on gay violence? That's funny. You seem to think that getting racist arguments and replacing "black" with "gay" will work.
if you knew that gay on gay violence actually did happen would you think differently !!!!!!!!,my point being stating the most obsolete question when gays stick it to other gays (ex.domestic assault )
Gay in gay violence? In what world?
today's world
Respectful treatment of homosexuals? No problem.
Just keep in mind: roughly 97% of people are heterosexual, and heterosexuality is an essential, a necessity.
Also: Diversity is not intrinsically positive. If you live in a society in which only half the people bathed regularly, would that be better than one in which everyone bathed regularly?
+SilvanaDil wtf
+Shy Rush
Which part confused you?
bad and misleading comparison.
by the way , it is a completely wrong and silly point
+Shy Rush
We're each entitled to our opinions.
+SilvanaDil its cool that ur feeling this way as long as u r aware of the fact that having an
simplistic , unsympathetic and regressive opinion just for the sake of having an opinion is completely worthless ...
have a nice day. bye
Oh, no, I get it. People who adhere to traditional gender roles hurt you, therefore, traditional gender roles are bad. Same way as people who adhere to communism hurt other people, therefore communism was bad. Or same as people who like to play videogames hurt other people by going on a killing spree, therefore videogames are bad. Or same as people who listen to Black Metal like to burn down churches, therefore Black Metal is bad.
Sad thing is, you may even think that you're proposing something new and groundbreaking.
Good luck with your "war", general.
This. This is the dumbest comment on CZcams.
Lumidingo No! Yours is!
To be fair, dude, you've mistaken people adhering to gender roles, for people who discriminate against others who DON'T adhere to traditional gender roles. Like, these are very blatantly different things.
Lumidingo Oh, so you want to have a civil discussion with a "dumb" person such as I? Well, I don't want to have a civil discussion with you. Hope you don't mind.
And now, because I've called a comment you made 'dumb', you're inferring that I'm calling you, yourself, 'dumb'. Which I very clearly didn't do. I think you need to take more time analyzing the content you are watching or reading, because it seems that you jump to conclusions that don't really respond to what's actually being said.
This is not a good Tedtalk. This is a rant. Ted talk is about science and intellectualism.
No. This is a TEDx talk.
K. Baum
TEd is for progress and scientific debate; it isn't a place to go and rant about heterosexual privileges which might not even exist.
Ben A
I think it's fairly clear that the concept of TED (and TEDx) has evolved throughout the years. Funny you'd nitpick this talk in particular. Perhaps it has to do with your last clause, "which might not even exist". Are you threatened by non-heterosexual people calling heterosexuals out on their bullshit?
K. Baum
What bullshit? You cannot be angry at people for being privileged. What you are really saying is that you are jealous. And he doesn't get any deeper than that. He could have explained causes and then given solutions. Trash!
Ben A
You seem to be deliberately misunderstanding his words, and I hope you are, because if all you can really get from this talk is "he's jealous/whining/angry at straight people", you've got a serious problem.
But hey, I'm sure you're just unwilling to see things from a perspective that doesn't cater to you, which is a totally normal psychological flaw. Just make sure you don't use it to hurt people (emotionally or physically), like the speaker exemplified.
Repent from your sin!
Up your bum!
Prove there's a god.
That's right, you can't, just from you calling it a belief, a faith. That just means it not substantiated, even acknowledged by you, as if you did go around, "I've seen him, this that, whatever, do you know where those people are? The mental asylum.
Actually in the neo liberal economics, health has been run down and they're on the streets and some get shot there, because they need help and don't get it.
Lol
