How To Leave A Cult: Zelph on the Shelf/Girl Defined Collab Trash Discourse 2024-06-27 | The Zelph On The Shelf and Bethany and Dav collab has been very controversial. The reddit page Fundie Snark blew up with criticism of Zelph for platforming these evangelical influencers. But as ex-mormons, Zelph know what they’re doing. I’ll talk about the collab and how people get out of cults, like the one Bethany and her brand Girl Defined came from.I filmed this before Part Two, but I still really like this collab and a lot of my thoughts are the same as they were before part 2.Thanks @ophie-dokie Ophie Video - youtube.com/watch?v=FVjHSL8MUA0&t=20s@ZelphOntheShelf Part One - youtube.com/watch?v=IqhWkOqqLFM&t=1277sZelph Part Two - youtube.com/watch?v=kHNqMRlrjGkSources:psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-mind/202104/the-definitive-guide-helping-people-trapped-in-cultpeopleleavecults.com/post/how-to-leave-a-cult

The Shopping Cart Test, Broken Windows, and The Spanish Flu Trash Discourse 2024-09-09 | The Shopping Cart Test posits that anyone who doesn’t return their shopping cart is a terrible person. But some parking lots are better than others. Perhaps there’s something else going on.I talk a lot about yelling at politicians in this, but that’s not the only way to act, you can also solve systemic problems yourself! There are many ways to do this. If you see a systemic problem like no seating at bus stops, you can install a bench yourself.

Government P*rn Trash Discourse 2024-08-26 | A lot of the porn available nowadays is degrading and harmful, if you ask a lot of people. How can the government solve this problem? By banning all pornography? By regulating the industry?I am proposing a radical solution: The government makes its own porn that upholds community values, as an alternative to the commercially available porn that’s available everywhere. Something that depicts realistic and ethical human sexuality and is appropriate for those just beginning to engage with pornography. But how would we go about making this ethical government porn?Join my patreon for more content like this, occasionally, when I get around to it: patreon.com/trashdiscourse0:00 Intro0:32 Government Repression of Porn1:06 Porn is Bad: Public Perceptions3:47 - Panic!

Nonbinary Transition: How Many Genders Are There? Trash Discourse 2024-06-24 | How many genders are there? Conservatives are always asking the left how many genders there are because they don’t know! That’s because only I know how many genders there are. And if you watch this video about nonbinary transition, the discourse around it, the difficulties and complexities of it, and the ways it works, I just might answer your question and tell you how many genders there are. This is not a transition timeline. I took sporadic videos throughout my first year, and then just kind of stopped doing that. I did the math after I filmed and it’s been about 1 year, 7 months since I started T, and social transition is, let's be honest, eternally ongoing for nonbinary people.0:00 - Intro/How Many Genders Are There?

Kink At Pride Trash Discourse 2024-05-27 | No Kink at Pride is a perennial discourse. It follows traditions of the Homophile Movement of the 50s and 60s, Respectability Politics that followed, and Ugly Laws barring the ugly, weird and disabled from public life. But some say it’s good to ban kink at pride because it protects queer families and makes Pride more accessible to the asexual community. It’s good for advertisers if everyone at corporate pride is pretty and normal looking.But what are we even calling Kink? And what kind of kink is even actually happening at Pride? Is this all just disingenuous anti-queer dog whistling?

Well, let’s talk about their history and then break down the reasons the lesbians spaces of the 70s, 80s, and 90s have steadily declined and why so few queer women identify strictly as “Lesbians” nowadays.Who is “allowed to be a lesbian” is a debate the community has been having since the community existed. Do bisexuals count? Are femmes even real lesbians? Can a straight woman be a lesbian? In the 70s some people thought so. Lesbian activity has been happening for the entirety of human history but as a community, lesbians and other women who love women have had a hard time parsing out who “really belongs” in their community, to the detriment of their spaces.With threats from the outside in the form of anti-homosexuality laws, capitalism, and the looming threat of fascism, the lesbian community has come together time and time again and overcome this exclusionary rhetoric to literally save the queer community in the face of certain death. Keeping its histories and caring for the sick and dying in the face of unprecedented suffering in the face of the AIDS crisis. Fighting for women’s rights. Fighting for liberation. Joining with other marginalized people for mutual liberation. But exclusionary politics have plagued lesbian and feminist movements since the beginning. Causes that are only for “certain kinds” of lesbians. “Certain kinds” of women. This has never gone well. It has never led to liberation. And yet the community keeps trying it over and over again while lamenting that those same people they seek to exclude are now forming their own movements and spaces.Sources:Out of the Past: Gay and Lesbian History from 1869 to the Present, Neil Miller, 1995, 1st Vintage BooksFemme: Feminists, Lesbians, and Bad Girls, Laura Harris and Elizabeth Crocker, 1997, RoutledgeThe Disappearing L, Bonnie J.

The Bi vs Pan Debate Trash Discourse 2024-04-01 | The Bi/Pan Debate was a heated war in the early 2010s online queer community. It defined bisexuality as inherently transphobic, enbyphoic, and bad. Bisexuals often say pansexuality as an identity is inherently biphobic and was only invented for self-hating bisexuals to escape biphobia. Are these two entirely distinct identities or are they just two words that mean the exact same thing? It depends on who you ask.Sources:@verilybitchie 's Why We Hate Bi Men - youtu.be/IbHhIeYL9noTikTok from @jessiepaege - shows the difference dating men vs women, and there are other considerations for people of other varying genders.Flanders, Corey E.

Are Trans Men Men? Trash Discourse 2024-02-26 | Are trans men men?We hear that common refrain "Trans women are women, trans men are men." repeated in the community but it often feels like empty words from people who don't believe it and don't act accordingly. Or only act accordingly if it's to harm trans men.Due to the intersections of oppression trans men experience, they have no social safety net which leaves them extremely vulnerable to certain forms of violence like domestic violence, stalking, medical abuse, and other forms of violence. They are subject to the misogyny of the larger patriarchal culture and the stereotypes and hatred of marginalized men. There are ways marginalized men specifically are oppressed and endangered by virtue of their marginalized manhood and pretending otherwise is antithetical to liberation.Marginalized groups all share struggles. Women and marginalized men experience similar kinds of oppression. And yet we continue to fight against each other instead of standing together for liberation. There’s a long history of this in the feminist movement and other liberatory movements, and it never ends well.transmascviolencearchive.carrd.coabcnews.go.com/Health/transgender-bias-now-banned-federal-law/story?id=16949817 https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1017&context=ltam_etdsadvocate.com/commentary/2015/07/23/op-ed-trans-men-experience-far-more-violence-most-people-assumeprismreports.org/2019/08/09/there-is-a-hidden-epidemic-of-violence-against-transmasculine-people
Garden Gnomes Trash Discourse 2024-02-19 | Finally someone is brave enough to cover this topic. Why gnomes wear pointy hats. It's actually much more complicated and possibly problematic than you might think! The pointy hat has quite a history! From forced disassimilation laws for European Jews to associations with criminality and witchcraft. How did gnomes come to wear such a controversial and strange garment? And why do they wear them?Music:Bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: RPMXGBBNTD7SFBTKSources:Amit Naor - Mythical Dwarfs and Garden Gnomes – the Jewish ConnectionWill Huygen and Rien Poortvliet - Secrets of the Gnomes, 1982Myths and Folklore Wiki
Bill Dauterive IS a Trans Woman: King of the Hill Analysis Trash Discourse 2024-01-24 | Trans people could not be out in the military until very recently and their position is still not guaranteed. It's very difficult to transition in your 40s and 50s. Especially living in the suburbs with friends who already treat you like the butt of the joke. There are many reasons Bill Dauterive would stay in the closet. But based on evidence from episodes such as Pretty, Pretty Dresses and Tankin' it to the Streets, I believe that Bill Dauterive is a closeted trans woman.Trigger warning for s**cidal ideation, dysphoria, transphobia.There's a common conspiracy fan theory that Hank Hill is a trans man. Maybe I'll do a video on that. But I think first we need to take a look at Bill.Sources used:kingofthehill.fandom.com
