ABOUT
My main goal is to provide you the tools to rationally share your opinion on tough topics.

I've adopted the mindset that you can either be a victim of your past or a victor of your future and that at some point, you have to move forward in your life and accept that you are the present manifestation of the past.

I'll always be here to share my thoughts and offer a new perspective on tough topics. From politics to culture and self-development to new ideas, I'm here to talk about it all.

I hate it when things are oversexualised. People forget about true genuine relationships and good stories.

[vectinator]

People against this aren’t against gays or queers. They’re against the suggestive content.
This video better not get age restricted.

[SweetOrangeGirl]

The amount of gaslighting people will do to try and say this is ok. It’s vile.

[_alguien_]

The one about the purple would be nice if instead of being about gender identity and was about not caring about stereotypes

[tulaconose]

The people saying it’s not that bad don’t have children in school

CORRECTION: Sexually explicit books have been banned by schools. It's PORN and porn has no place in the school libraries!! Even at the 7-11 porn is kept behind the counter!

[littlecatfeet]

Not right wing, not anti-gay, not anti-sex education. But adults showing books to kids telling them how to have sex? No, we absolutely know what that leads to 😡.

[OreoShiChi]

4:33 If a book is not allowed on YouTube, it should not be in elementary and middle-school libraries. Frankly, I don't think this point is debatable.

People are confusing "personalities" with "gender." A man with more feminine traits, is still a man. Women with masculine traits are still women. Just because you may have some personality traits that are more common with the opposite gender, does not make you that gender.

On "My Shadow is Purple": Tomboy erasure is real, ya'll.

Also, how the hell did we go from "Boys can play dress-up and girls can play sports and there's nothing wrong with that" to "Your 4 year old son likes Barbies? He might be a transgirl"?!?

They should be learning their ABC's. Not STD's

[YourLocal-Asian-Guy]

As a gay guy, this is WAY too far. Being gay isn't only about sex. It's establishing a bond with your partner and spending time with each other, loving one another.

Man I remember when the best children’s books were Rainbow Fish, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. What happened to THOSE?! 😢

[noworries]

"Children are especially harmed when not celebrated and validated" Wrong. She is projecting.
Children need to be loved and supported, but they also need to be guided, taught facts and disciplined. If all you do is celebrate your child's every move including wrong and bad behavior; as they grow you will raise entitled narcissists.

[SimplyBrina]

The fact that YouTube can censor you video for showing the image in the books but the schools think it's appropriate

[creepylolaloudplushie]

This is like that "South Park" episode back in 2001 where the teachers started teaching sexual content to eight-year-olds and soon five-year-olds. The kids were traumatised, and it caused a war between the boys and girls. Needless to say, the adults screwed up, lol.

To see that this stuff has become a reality is absurd. The world definitely has turned into a "South Park" cartoon. 😂

[nathanbeer]

Miss it when school used to teach about geography instead of pornography.

[ShadowFox_Willow]

In late elementary school I asked my mom about LGBTQ+. I already knew the basics of LGB, but i was curious to hear it from an adult and not a friend or online.

All she told me was; “Gay is when a boy likes a boy, lesbian is when a girl likes a girl, and bisexual is when you like both boys and girls. Anything more then that you don't have to worry about till you're older. Come back and ask in about it when your in 6th grade.”

[CEOofBased-hxxf]

These are the type of people who say the most idiotic takes known to man and are shocked when they face criticism for it.

[BenjaminHaney-yi]

This is even more messed up when you consider 97% of kids on the Baltimore school system cant do math at grade level. But they spend their time teaching this sht.
