“If I express myself I would lose everything, but what they didn’t tell me was I would find what I was looking for all along” okay tears are coming here we go….

[Smellythief]

Talking about how “They make up these issues to distract people”… I wish we would talk more about what they are distracting people from.
They make up these issues to get people to vote for them. Politicians *could* get people to vote for them by making voters’ lives better, but that runs counter to enriching themselves to the max. One of our political parties stokes bigotry, because the alternative is addressing economic inequality. Both of those options will get votes, but the latter costs them money (money they make because of economic inequality). One of the only two viable political parties in the US is not in this game to help their supposed constituents, and the other is, by and large. The fact that I don’t have to say which party is which and any reader, regardless of political association, knows which, speak volumes.

Is this the same guy that said there are not "perfect" victims, cause little girls are kinky and all kids are gays or less straights and narrow than their parents thinks?... he was talking about abused girls and child abused in general.. as far as i recall it. I would like to know what was that and how on earth someone would said such a vile thing but i dont see interviewrs ever ask him about that and other opinions and writing he has provided.

I want a transcription of their every word, and I want to read, meditate, dream, live a beautiful life, and help make love, compassion, healing, and empathy go viral. Deep gratitude, ALOK.

This opens up whole new levels of meaning to the words "disgusting", "fake"", "hypocrite" and "sick". I'm learning so much.

[MiaCas]

The way Alok speaks is so healing, this gives me so much hope that maybe there is still some good left in this world and something to fight for

[She_Wonders]

These comments are a trash heap. Alok and Jamie are wonderful human beings who deserve the world! What a lovely talk!

[itsacarolbthing]

Alok is the person who described little girls as kinky, and that there is no such thing as a little girl who is an innocent perfect little flower. I am appalled that this predator is being given an international platform. I have no issue with anyone being trans. I have a huge issue with someone who uses that trans identity to deflect attention from their predatory views on little girls.

[Luxifyyy]

such an incredible human being, everytime i listen to alok speak i learn and my mind is blown in the best ways possible

[starrr]

Amidst all of the fear in the trans community right now I'm so glad Jamie Lee Curtis is platforming this wonderful speaker for all the good it does

[devilkitty]

Dude thinks little girls are kinky. Why are you giving him air time.

[brianarodrigue]

I am glad I saw this. I was unaware that all this was happening. I knew there were prejudices but didn't know it was this bad. Keep getting the word out there. Don't listen to those who are cruel.

Jamie Lee Curtis, tool _extraordinaire_

[delilah-zbxt]

Jamie seems to be seeking relevance here.

[kaitlynr]

This is a beautiful and wonderful video. I am so proud to be part of this community.

[vapalaca]

A Hollywood star without plastic surgery, a rare gem

[keegisters]

So eloquent it’s amazing!
What are you gonna have for lunch?

[excentrik]

How to use as many emotional arguments to be the biggest non existent victim ever - should be the title

[ambassador]

7:30 he is definitely right about social media profiteering from hate.

[miguelliera]

What a beautiful conversation. A very poetic rethoric ❤
