Hey everybody and welcome to Leia's Lair.

In this episode I will be going over the differences in lightsaber colors, that are canon.

If you are enjoying the videos, please give them a like and subscribe to the channel so

that I can continue making them for you!

To understand the role each saber plays, we must first understand where the color originates from.

The colors come from Kyber crystals.

The crystal is at the core of the lightsaber, and the color of the crystal determines the

color of the saber.

The crystals start out as colorless until they are found by a Jedi Padawan.

The padawan's personality as well as the will of the Force will eventually determine

the color of the lightsaber.

The force would guide the jedi youngling to their crystal.

They would hear it's music and harmony, becoming attracted to the crystal and forming a bond.

If someone finds the crystal who is not the jedi youngling it is intended for, the crystal

would remain cold to the touch.

The lifelike crystals grow naturally on a variety of different planets throughout the galaxy.

Such as in the crystal cave on the planet Ilum.

They are extremely rare, and in tune with the force.

More specifically they are in tune with the light side of the force, meaning that if someone

from the darkside tried to make use of their powers for dark purposes, the crystals

would try and resist them.

Because of this, the only way for darksided users to harness the powers of the crystals,

was to manipulate the force in a way that would overpower the crystal.

When this happened, the crystal would crack and bleed, leading to the characteristic red

lightsabers used by the sith.

There are 9 known lightsaber colors that are canon.

I will go over each of them, and their known characteristics.

First we have the most common color, which is blue.

This color of lightsaber is associated with protection, consciousness and intellect, and

is typically used by greatly skilled lightsaber warriors.

Users of a blue lightsaber include Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker.

A second variation of blue lightsaber exists, that is a lighter shade.

This light blue saber is yielded by Tera Sinube.

The next most common color after blue is green.

This color of lightsaber is associated with peace and harmony.

It is typically used by Jedi who possess strong abilities with the force, and would rather

avoid combat if possible, opting instead for mediation or negotiation.

Users of the green lightsabers are Luke Skywalker, Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn.

A second variation of green lightsaber exists, such as the yellow-green lightsaber used by

Ahsoka Tano's shoto-style lightsaber.

As briefly mentioned before, red lightsabers are associated with evil and power.

It is common knowledge that Sith and dark jedi use this color of saber.

Because the crystals at the core are attuned to the lightside of the force, the Sith and

dark jedi must use artificial or corrupted crystals in their sabers which produces the red color.

Kylo Ren's cracked kyber crystal generates an unstable blade, with the excess power vented

out the sides, creating a crossguard effect.

Also interesting to note is that in the movies, the red sabers were originally used as an

indication to the audience that the character was evil.

Users of the red lightsaber include Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Count Dooku,

Kylo Ren, and Asajj Ventress.

Onto the more rare colors of lightsaber, we have yellow lightsabers.

These are associated with defense and protection.

The only known users of the yellow lightsaber are the Jedi Temple Guards.

We also have the purple lightsaber.

This color is associated with moral ambiguity.

It is thought to be used by Jedi who harness both dark and light sided techniques, or maybe

a sith turned jedi.

The color can be interpreted as a mix between light and dark, or blue and red.

Behind the scenes a different reason for the purple lightsaber exists.

That reason is simply that Samuel L. Jackson just wanted one, so George Lucas obliged.

Which is probably why the only known wielder of the purple saber is Mace Windu.

Not much is know about the white saber, other than it is thought to come from the healing

a corrupted crystal.

The only successful case of this was done by the Ahsoka Tano, who yields this color

of saber in Star Wars Rebels.

To her, the lack of color represents her neutrality, her dissociation with the Jedi Order and her

indeterminate state.

With only one Darksaber known to be floating around, this ancient, experimental weapon

was created by the first Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla.

According to mandalore custom, one can only obtain the darksaber by defeating the previous

owner in combat.

Canon users of the darksaber include Pre Vizsla, Darth Maul, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Gar Saxon.

There you have it, all the different canon lightsaber colors that are known, and briefly explained.

I really hope you guys enjoyed the video, if you did give it a like and subscribe to

the channel for more interesting videos to come.

Also let me know below which lightsaber color you think you'd have.

Hope to see you all again in Leia's Lair.

Self Care Vs. Escapism - Duration: 3:51.

So, I'm having a bit of writers block.

I'm out of stories to tell.

Could it be because i don't like, do things?

Or have experiences?

Maybe!

So instead we're gonna go to the park and we're gonna catch some cyndaquils.

Here's the thing.

I still play pokemon go.

Some might say...obsessively?

There are 233 pokemons that are catchable in the region(s) i have been to since it came

out.

I have 230 of them.

Three pokemon left.

Today we're gonna make it two.

You might be saying to yourself Why?

Taylor?

You didn't even play pokemon as a child this isn't like, a nostalgia thing.

And you're right.

I did not.

But I'm an obsessive completionist and I desire to win.

I guess while we're up to this, i wanna talk about escapism.

I have very conflicted feels because a lot of the kinda popular tumblr or buzzfeed style

self care advice that's like hey, it's okay, just shirk all your responsibilities

and stay inside and eat cupcakes and paint your toenails is actually one of the worst

things i can do for myself.

Giving in to my desire to be lazy and not get out of bed and not move my body and not

do work and isolate myself makes me feel more depressed.

And then when i feel more depressed, it's even harder to do the thing the next day.

And so it gets worse and worse and worse.

So I try to resist that escapist kind of form of self care.

I try to just like will myself into doing the things i don't want to do because i

know that doing them will make me feel better.

And then the next day it'll feel a little less smaller of a thing to conquer.

On the other hand, it isn't possible to just stop being burned out or stop being depressed

out of sheer force of will.

It's impossible to go in at 100% all the time, especially when you're an activist.

A very brilliant former colleague of mine Zerlina Maxwell, i'm linking her newsletter

below, wrote about the resistance, and she said It's not a sprint, and it's not even

a marathon.

It's a relay.

Which means sometimes it's your turn to run and sometimes it's your turn to pass

the baton and catch your breath.

I ran for a long ass time.

But the past maybe 5 months, 6 months, I haven't been.

So i've been trying to figure out what level of escapism is okay or what's healthy for

me.

And that's why I've been doing this.

This, being like, moving back to my parents house and working on my brain health, and

pushing myself to do the work it takes to get better.

Mixed with a little bit of escapism.

I'm almost ready for another lap.

So now I'm gonna evolve this typhlosion.

2 pokemon left.

And I'm gonna go home and get to work.

So in comments, tell me how you feel about escapism.

What do you use to escape?

Do you think that's healthy or unhealthy or somewhere in between?

If you liked this video you can subscribe, you can also find me anywhere on the internet

in the links below and I will see you next week.

Bye!

Opinion Why Indians Do Not Assimilate In US Culture - Duration: 22:24.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Ultra Devil and in this video I'll

try to place my opinion on inability of Indian immigrants to assimilate in US culture.

This topic was requested by Akshay Nimkar, he requested a video on Failure of NRI's to

Culturally and Socially Assimilate in US.

Honestly when he requested this topic I thought it is kind of very difficult question to answer.

So I tried to search information from which I could conclude something but I could find

no numerical data from which any conclusion can be deduced.

And that was because the answer ain't really as complicated as I was assuming it to be.

The reason why NRI fail to Culturally and Socially assimilate in US is because they

just don't want to.

The answer is as easy as that.

Now that leaves us with another question, why they don't want to assimilate with US

culture.

Well to understand that lets try to understand what kind of Indian groups migrate to USA.

First group includes people who went there for jobs, they found some aspects of American

Culture superior to Indian culture so they decided to stay there.

Second are those who hated Indian Culture when they were in India and then went to US

with belief that they are settling in better culture.

Third are those who went US for vacation or something, loved US environment so they decided

to exploit immigration and welfare policies to claim US citizenship.

Fourth are the student group who went there for studies and final ones are those who went

there for better income opportunities.

It is also important to keep in mind that majority of Indian groups that landed on US

soil actually ended up succeeding in gaining sound financial health.

And it can be easily concluded from the fact that Indians rank number one on highest earning

groups of US nationals.

And it has been like that for a long amount of time.

Indians that migrate to US are some of the hardest working individuals.

Note that I said hardest working not smartest.

And there is one big problem with almost all hard working individuals.

And that problem is spending too much time and mental power on work than thinking about

socializing.

Low Social Life is directly proportional to hard work.

And most of the hard work that Indians put on are not on low paying or are of physical

type.

They usually put hard work on jobs that require intellect and most of intellectual jobs do

not require kind of interaction that is required for socializing.

Note that Indians are not refugees who migrated from their country because of war or political

reasons.

Point here to note is that the sole goal of any Indian group is more income opportunity

and not joining cultural diversity.

Indians do not participate in multiculturalism in their own country, why exactly you think

they would be interested in multiculturalism outside.

We just say that India exhibits "Unity In Diversity", reality is actually opposite,

India exhibits "Diversity in spite of Unity".

When it comes to marriage Indians usually do not marry individuals outside their caste

and religion.

Though education is helping in solving this issue, fact is even in year 2017 inter caste

and inter religious marriages only contribute to less than 5% of all marriages.

Good part is most of them do not end up in success due to religious and family differences.

Either it be children, adults or elders none of age group usually have any significant

rate in accepting US culture.

On surface we can say that Indians are bunch of people who believe in tribal or cult mentality.

Hypocrisy among Indians is high about having a superior culture and there are several pointless

practices such as always accepting authority of elders no matter how stupid that may be.

Personally I think many US residents might believe that Indians no matter how educated

they are never question their cultural belief systems.

To some level that sounds very much true but by looking at it only in that way would only

mean they themselves are also living in hypocrisy about having a superior culture.

There are many Indians who kind of migrated to US just because they hated Indian culture,

by the way after landing on other side they still decided to stick with Indian culture.

And for blaming we always have hypocrite elders.

But by always blaming hypocrisy of elders we forget to ask important question of how

our elders actually see our Cultures.

Some see it as religious, others see it as required set of rules.

Both approaches have extremely bad rep among young generation because it have lead to Khap

Panchayat kind of practices.

Everyone hates Khap practices, they are not only inhuman but also illegal and against

human rights and unconstitutional but again due to lack of adequate legal resources, ignorance

and illiteracy they operate without any restriction.

And Khap practitioners never have to worry about human rights because only terrorists

and criminals posses human rights, others do not fit in that list.

There are many such cannibalistic practices that exists because of cult and tribal mentality.

I feel privileged because I wasn't born in such cannibalistic group that follows monstrosity

on name of culture.

It is important to note that each group have their own set of Indian Culture bullshit and

honestly 90% of people who keep babbling about Indian culture actually have no idea what

even culture means.

In any particular state of India they have their own set of Indian Culture bullshit which

again have a rural and modern sub types.

Most Indians who migrate to US are most definitely are not from rural type, they definitely are

from cities and follow their modern version of Indian culture bullshit.

So first lets try to see western culture with eyes of elder individuals.

Stage 1 over 53% of marriages in America end up in divorce, 90% of divorces are initiated

by women for possible stupid reasons.

Almost 45% of children based US households at present are without fathers and 70% of

these fatherless children will later find themselves in problems with substance abuse,

drinking problem, mental and emotional issues and jail time.

Statistically majority of US born homeless population belongs to group of individuals

that were raised by single mothers.

Indian population is highest earning group anywhere they go, and that can not happen

unless we are good with numbers.

Even the most free minded Indians will surely take a look on that kind of statistics and

can easily conclude 3 things.

First Americans are not good when it comes to keeping relationships, specially their

women.

Two they don't know how to raise children nor they ask for help from others who successfully

raised them.

Americans do not understand, adults do not suffer from failed or broken marriages, children

are the ones who actually suffer failed relationships of their parents.

Failure to maintain sexual discipline is real reason of failure of relationships.

As Indians we believe backbone of any relationship is responsibility and not sexual liberty.

If you look at stats after sexual liberation of women, almost 70% of women cheated on their

partners.

And that data has come from surveying Marriage Therapist about cheating wives, the data was

first Revealed by Dion Metzer and later was confirmed by majority of Marriage consultants

and therapists.

As per US Marriage and Divorce Rate Statistics an average American citizenship marries at

least 3 times.

In which 49% end up in divorce, 62% of second marriages also end up in divorce and if you

are dumb to get married for 3rd time you are 73% likely to end up in divorce.

Unhappy with data majority of American men are no longer interested in relationships

and marriages because as per them marriage is as good as dead.

Most of them live with extremely high conviction if women is American born they are as good

as guaranteed to cheat and ask for divorce.

Men related radio, internet shows and magazines are in heavy promoting all men to give up

marriage.

Only televisions are promoting men to marry but it doesn't seems to be working looking

at what numbers are telling us.

Any sane man of any culture for sure take notice of this and rate American culture a

failure in terms of relationship.

If I would be born in America, I would have preferred to stay away from serious relationship

with any woman.

Since I reached that conclusion I don't blame our hypocritical elders who might have also

concluded something similar.

After their analysis of US culture they evaluate Indian culture.

Now depending on person from whom you are listening about Indian culture you might hear

lot of different things about Indian culture.

But here's how my understanding of Indian culture is, it is based on what I learned

in school about historic Indian civilizations, how my and my friend's parents raised them

and some of the most basic interactions we do with our elder members of society.

First Indian culture for sure is based on family values, so the argument that Indians

live with tribalism and cult mentality is 100% true.

Does that mean Indian culture is patriarchal in nature.

Well anywhere cult mentality comes in, Patriarchy is guaranteed, well for those who don't know

what Patriarchy is, it means family systems mainly dominated by men.

So keep in mind anywhere where family value holds dominant place, Patriarchy is guaranteed.

That makes any western culture totally opposite of Indian culture.

American culture is mostly feminist, gyno centric, individualistic and provides high

level of sexual freedom to both men and women.

And what end result that culture has provided, by no means seems impressive.

American born individuals are lowest earning individuals of their country and while reaching

age of 40 most of these individuals will find themselves in economic problems, debt or homelessness.

Economic structure of America is mostly built by immigrants with almost all high paying

and high power jobs held by Indians, Nigerians and Chinese.

Common things among these individuals include is that they all have come from a nation that

holds family value important as compared to individualistic value, second since they hold

family above individualism their cultures are 100% patriarchy based.

Now that might end up offending lot of people, specially if you are a women.

But let me tell you something, in every country where aggressive feminism has been introduced,

in less that 40 years of its introduction country saw increase in divorce rates, increased

rate in adult emotional disorders, reduction in marriage and birth rate, increased debt

on economy, increased taxes, increased debt instrument frauds and heavy wastage of money

on social welfare policies.

Now that might leave bad taste in mouth of emotional idiots but for example you can take

a look on Japan, Australia, France and United States itself.

America as nation is heaven for businesses that commit debt instrument as well as welfare

frauds.

Second Indian culture believes in family legacy which means a person either it be man or women

is not a separate individual but a part of family.

A family which takes responsibility of its each member.

So marriage for Indians does not only mean that just a man and women have decided to

fuck and live together.

It also means two families deciding to take responsibilities of each other.

People think that concept of marriage is religious.

But that's not true because if that would be, then marriage will be exclusive to one

particular religion.

And that's not the case, marriage as concept exist because men and women had different

gender roles.

The day gender roles will end, marriage will cease to exist.

All those countries which are right now seeing surge in men and women not interested in marriage

and blaming men for not marrying fail to see, marriage by any means can not exist without

gender roles.

So when you see yourself getting forced to get married by your relatives it means they

are forcing you to take your gender role.

Indians believe relationships makes you stronger, not weaker.

And while raising us our parents try to induce that idea in our brains.

Since structure of Indian culture is based on authority of elder individuals, elders

usually guide their children to raise their children.

As parent you have done a good job if your kids learn to take disappointments in their

early stages of childhood.

They are supposed to learn taking disappoints so that they can understand in real life cards

are always set against them.

Its better to not cry over failure and move on.

Second a kid must learn to take responsibility.

This applies to both boys and girls.

A boy is expected to take lifting jobs whereas women are expected to learn household works.

A physically weak man is considered result of bad parenting and is sometimes also considered

as insulting to man and his family.

Therefore parents of male kids become extremely worried when boys do not eat.

This has also lead to a complete niche market dedicated to increasing hunger of men.

Tonics of all kinds are available to help tackle this problem.

I don't know how they work but some of these medications do generate monster level hunger.

Third a kid is also supposed to learn physical and mental discipline.

Which includes scheduling everything from study time to playing time.

Usually when children ask parents to buy something for them.

Parents are not supposed to buy those things without asking anything in return.

Usually they ask to score better marks, help in house hold works and good behavior.

This is intentionally done by majority of parents because it is assumed this protects

minds of children from feeling of entitlement.

It also helps them learn they'll get absolutely no reward for free and they always have to

work for it.

Finally they are supposed to learn patience, patience is key to success.

Majority of parents who successfully manage to induce values of taking disappoints, taking

responsibility, working for reward, staying away from entitlement, maintaining strict

physical and mental discipline in their kids believe they have done a good job as parent.

Personally I also believe all of them are good values.

But problem may lie in methods selected by parents to induce these values.

I have no idea how many people see Indian family culture as I see it, nor I deny there

can be lot of problems with it.

But being born in a culture that highly values family over an individual my opinion on it

might be biased.

If we would try to see Indian and American culture as persons then these persons would

be enemies.

Good news is US born generation of Indian parents are somewhat succeeding in assimilating

with US culture.

The marriage rate of Indians and other race in US is actually higher than Inter-caste

and inter-religious marriages in India.

But again divorce rates for men is high.

And divorce settlements has also costed divorced men huge fortunes.

Keep no bias other Indian men will take notice and no matter how beautiful American women

are most Indian men will prefer to stay away.

People who support gender equality might find this opinion extremely offensive, guess what

I do not support gender equality.

And it doesn't mean I think women are inferior.

Gender equality was gimmick that was created to provide women equal work opportunities

as men, to great level that initiative has also succeeded.

Problem is that people want to take gender equality too literally.

Which very much sums up to a man applying perfume or body spray and expecting every

women to fuck with him just because perfume businesses used it as advertisement gimmick.

In a perfect gender equal society there wouldn't be any need of marriage, there wouldn't be

any father figure, a rape wouldn't be a sexual crime it would be considered as puny physical

assault, there wouldn't be anything as men should not hit women nor men would ever offer

any women any help.

And that would be a very bad society to live in, in world of fantasy, ideas like gender

equality seem good but when they'll become real you'll be horrified to live in that society.

For example, if we take a look in history of Indian civilization we can find that there

was a time when women actually demanded men to complete in extreme physical challenges

to marry them.

The idea was based on Swayamvar as mentioned in ancient hindu religious texts, the problem

was in world of fantasy it sounded cool and romantic to women but in reality it would

prove extremely brutal for men who would compete in them.

These physical challenges sometimes would be so brutal that men would end up suffering

loss of their body parts.

But the good part was even after competing and completing all challenges a women had

full right to turn down marriage proposal by giving excuse that she don't want to marry

a handicapped man.

And even after winning he would not get to marry women but get money as compensation

for his loss.

This was known as "Dahej", in which "Deh" means body and "Harjana" means compensation.

The literal meaning of "Dahej" is Compensation for loss of body part.

Time moved on and women had to accept marriage proposal from winner in spite man's broken

physical condition and financial compensation also became compulsory.

Then these competitions became less brutal and with time and finally Swayamvars disappeared

but Dahej remained as it is and turned pretty well for majority of women who had to suffer

because some bunch of idiots decided to live their fantasies.

Most people live with idea that social structure is rigged against them, this is result of

victim-hood mentality.

And this type of mentality is reason why people think their world of fantasy would be a better

place to live for them and also for everyone.

The fact is social structures changes with time and people living in it have to adapt

to it.

It doesn't always means social structure is victimizing you.

I am a man and I get turned on by lot of beautiful women.

My fantasy is a world where I would get to fuck any women I want with no restrictions

and I can very much guarantee majority of men of world would be having similar fantasy.

I think Uday Saddam Hussein was the one who got to live his fantasy because his father

was Saddam Hussein but that turned out extremely well for citizens of Iraq.

My fantasy of fucking every women I want can come true only if I become dictator.

And how dictatorship turned for others is evidence of fact why people shouldn't try

to think their emotional world of fantasy can really be a good world to live in.

In fantasy world of terrorists world is only supposed to be populated by Islam.

In fantasy world of Hitler, Alexander and Genghis Khan they were ideal rulers of world

and their attempt to bring their self centered fantasy to world resulted in wars and death

all over the world.

There are more than required evidences in history that have time and time again proven

a world of fantasy either fails to survive or ends up with brutal consequences.

And those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it.

The Devil Speaks The Truth and he has spoken.

Thanks for watching.

Why are trans people afraid of coming out? | Riley J. Dennis - Duration: 8:49.

Transgender people, and particularly trans women of color, face high rates of violence

against them in the United States.

The Office for Victims of Crime says that one in two transgender people are sexually

abused or assaulted in their lifetime, citing studies from the International Journal of Transgenderism.

In 2013, the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs found that transgender people are

seven times more likely to experience physical violence when interacting with the police

than non-transgender people.

In 2015, the NCAVP found that when transgender survivors of intimate partner violence tried

to access emergency shelters, 44% of them were denied access.

They NCAVP also found that 63% of trans survivors of hate violence knew the person who committed

the violence against them beforehand.

The report also found that most of these problems were compounded by other factors, like if

the survivor was a person of color, poor, or disabled.

It's impossible to look at anti-trans violence without also seeing the intersections with

racist, classist, and ableist violence.

In 2016, we know of 27 trans people who were murdered.

So far in 2017, we know of nine trans people who have been murdered – all trans women of color.

These murders are happening so frequently that when I wrote this script a few weeks

ago, that number was eight.

Unfortunately, statistics on the murder rate of trans people are extremely hard to come

by because so many trans people are misgendered in death and never even identified as trans.

This can happen because the media doesn't know how to report on trans individuals, the

police don't know how to deal with hate crimes towards trans people, or most commonly

because the family of the dead trans person doesn't want the public to even know that

their child was trans.

For transphobic families, their child being trans is a source of a shame for them, which

means that they'll hide it at all costs, even when their child is murdered for being trans.

Those NCAVP studies that I mentioned earlier interviewed thousands of queer people who

had survived hate crimes, and many of them said that they didn't report to the police

because they were afraid – and out of those who did, many felt that the police were hostile towards them.

In several cases, trans people who reported violence to the police actually wound up being

arrested instead of their abuser.

We desperately need more research on this.

It would be ridiculous to assert that all the anti-trans violence and anti-trans murders

happening in the US are being correctly reported right now.

Let me give you a few examples.

On January 9th, 2015, a trans woman named Papi was shot and killed by a man after she

told him that she was transgender.

Papi's friend, Tiffany, another trans woman, told the police that Papi was a trans woman

who had been killed because she was trans.

There's even video footage from the night of the shooting showing Papi presenting as

But the police spokesperson told the press, "That was a man that was shot.

It was always a man," and they said that the victim's gender identity never played

a role in the homicide investigation.

That's just one example, but it's impossible to know how many more of these there are.

And even when the evidence is clear that it was a hate crime, many states don't even

count gender identity as one of the ways to be targeted for a hate crime.

In August 2016, Rae'Lynn Thomas, a transgender woman, was shot and beaten to death by her

mother's ex-boyfriend as he called her the devil and shouted transphobic comments.

But Ohio doesn't have a statewide hate crime law for gender identity, and her murder was

never officially investigated as a hate crime.

Being transgender in the US is scary, especially if you're a trans woman of color, if you're

poor, if you're a sex worker, or if you're disabled.

These communities know that they're hated and targeted, and they've seen their friends

and loved ones get killed, beaten, and abused over the years.

Mic has a project called Unerased that tracks the murders of trans women since 2010

and is continually updated.

If you want to learn more about the stories of these trans people, you should really check it out.

They found that while the average American's risk of being murdered is about one in 19,000,

that risk jumps to one in 2,600 for young black trans women.

But without well-documented, nation-wide statistics, people still aren't taking these cases seriously.

Lots of reporting has been happening, like Mic's Unerased series, the NCAVP's hate

violence tracking, GLAAD's reporting of murdered trans people, and the Human Rights

Campaign's tracking of murdered trans people.

So far, all the evidence points towards a huge problem of violence against the trans

community, and just because there is a lack of federally collected data on this doesn't

mean that the trans community is safe.

Trans people are often terrified to come out because they know the danger it would put them in.

They can anticipate the violent reactions of their family members, friends, and romantic or sexual partners.

Lots of trans people are disowned by their parents and kicked out of their homes for coming out.

According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, one in five trans people has experienced

homelessness at some point in their life, and 20-40% of homeless youth identify somewhere

on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, despite the fact that only about 4% of the total population

identifies as LGBTQIA+.

So I think it's rational for trans people to be afraid of coming out, and obviously

for some people, it will be easier than others.

If you're white, live in a progressive area, have an accepting family, aren't living

in poverty, and are not disabled, you're probably much safer coming out than folks

who have to deal with the intersections of racism, classism, and ableism on top of coming out as trans.

I'm sure there are trans people who've had very positive experiences of coming out.

I myself have been pretty lucky, but I know that my experience isn't at all representative

of what all or even most trans people face.

The point of all of this isn't to frighten you if you're trans – the point is to

show cisgender people why trans people might not want to or might not be able to come out.

And let's not forget that coming out isn't a singular, one-time event.

After someone comes out as trans, they'll probably come out a thousand more times.

If they generally aren't perceived as the gender they are, they'll probably have to

come out to every new person they meet.

They can have been out for years, but they meet someone and have to politely correct

them when they misgender them.

When they date, they'll have to decide between telling people they're trans right away

or waiting until a few dates into the relationship.

And if they date men, they'll have to deal with the fact that men can react very violently

to a trans person coming out.

Straight men who find themselves attracted to trans women often feel like their sexuality

is being "attacked" or like they've been "tricked", and they feel like they

have to defend themselves from that.

Sometimes men try to keep their relationships with trans women secret, and if that relationship

is exposed to the public, they snap.

Men who date trans women are often mocked by other men, which can make dating a trans

woman a source of embarrassment for a man.

Of the trans women who we know have been murdered in the last few years, many of them were killed

by an intimate male partner.

Ty Underwood is a trans woman who was murdered by her boyfriend in January 2015.

He shot her as she was driving away, and then she crashed into a tree.

He publicly denied dating her even though there was evidence of them having a relationship,

leading prosecutors to believe he killed Ty when he thought their relationship would be exposed.

Even when trans people date women, though, they're not completely free from violence.

I've known a trans person who came out to a girl they were seeing, so the girl slapped

them, said she had been tricked, and stormed off.

Lots of trans people who date women have similar experiences of being mocked or attacked in

some form because of their identity.

It's just that men tend to be more violent in their reactions.

Like, almost all of the trans women murdered last year were either killed by a man or nobody

knows who killed them.

These kinds of people, the ones who react violently to finding out that someone they

like is trans or doesn't have the genitals they expected, often hide being the excuse

of it just being their "genital preference".

The thing about that is that genital preferences are not all inherently transphobic.

If you just prefer vaginas over penises, or vice versa, that's fine.

But when someone's genital preference is so ingrained in them that they have to attack

a trans person they're dating, either physically or verbally, that's clearly cissexist.

The constant stigmatizing of trans people, especially women with penises and men with

vaginas, leads to these people feeling justified in their violence against trans people.

They think to themselves, "Well, genital preferences are okay to have, so my anger

at this trans person is completely rational."

It plays into the awful anti-trans narrative that trans people are constantly trying to

"trick" cis people or somehow set a trap for them.

In reality, trans people often stress out over when and how they should tell a potential

partner about their genitals.

It's kind of a weird thing to bring up the moment you meet someone, but it can also be

unsafe to withhold that information for very long.

There's a web series called Her Story that I think illustrates this really well.

It's a fictional story, but one of the writers of the series, Jen Richards, is trans, and

the show does a good job of showing people what dating can be like for trans people.

It gets the audience to feel the fear that trans women feel when considering if they

should tell their partner or potential partner that they're trans.

So I think in the whole "genital preferences" debate, it's important to recognize that

sometimes those preferences are transphobic, and sometimes they're not.

But by constantly and loudly saying that all genital preferences are okay to have, you're

unintentionally supporting these folks who commit violence against trans people using that same logic.

In fact, "trans panic" is actually a defense that people have cited in court to justify

their killing of trans people.

In 2005, Gwen Araujo was beaten to death by four men who said that Araujo had provoked

their violent response by revealing that she had a penis.

Two of the men were convicted of second-degree murder, but somehow they were not convicted

of hate crime charges.

In 2013, Islan Nettles was murdered by a man who claimed he flew into a rage when he discovered

Nettles was transgender.

He pled guilty to manslaughter and got only twelve years behind bars.

He was not charged with murder or a hate crime.

Violence against trans people in the United States is real, and it's no wonder that

trans people are afraid to come out or to tell other people about their genitals.

Some folks like to argue that because trans people have it better here than in some other

countries, that we don't have any problems.

But hatred against trans people is alive and well, and often fueled by excuses like trans

panic or genital preferences.

I don't want to scare any trans people out there into staying in the closet, though.

Coming out is your decision and it's a very personal one, but sometimes you have to balance

that decision with your safety.

That doesn't mean it's always bad, though.

Some trans people live long, happy lives.

Our stories don't always end in tragedy, and as we keep fighting to clear up misconceptions

about us and gain better visibility in the mainstream, things are only going to get better – I hope.
