Riley has a bunch of videos and goes on and on and on, but one of my favorite ones. She likes to come up with words.

He likes to come up with words. And he has a new word called cis-sexism. cis sexism, which means prejudice or discrimination against trans people. What other word means discrimination against trans people? Oh, you transomia? We can't just use that, though. We can't just use one word.

We've got to come up with something else. A new one. So we'll call it cis-sexism. And Raleigh is very informative. Very, very informative. And, well, let's hear from Riley. Shall we? Let's start it off at the beginning of Riley. Recently on the internet, there's been a lot of discussion around genital preferences and transphobia.

In this video, I'm going to use the word cis-sexism instead of transphobia, but they're really similar words. At its most basic, cis-sexism means prejudice or discrimination against transgender people. So what's been happening is that some people are making the argument that it's not cis-sexist at all to only be attracted to people with one kind of genitals. For example, these people might argue that being attracted to only women with vaginas in no way negatively affects trans people. On the other hand, I would argue that it's more complicated than that. We all have our implicit biases built into our preferences,

and gender isn't as simple as just the genitals you have. But after I say that, I usually get a bunch of blatantly cis-sexist responses. Right? I can address all of those responses at once. Okay. Now, she goes on to explain the typical response. Number one, you're being homophobic. You're upholding rape culture.

I'm allowed to have my preferences. I have a trans friend who says this is okay. Now, I think that she happens to mention a body part in this next when she says goodbye, so just be prepared for that. I was going to edit it out. And then I thought, you know what? I don't want to do that because I don't want to be a cis-sexist. I don't want to be part of cis-sexism.

I don't want to be a part of Riley's. Feminist website, Everydayfeminist.com. I want to be a part of that. I don't want to be homophobic or transphobic or cis-sexist. And I don't want to be allowed to have my preferences. I want to know that my preferences are wrong and others are right. And I want my trans friend to know that even though they say it's okay, it's not okay. It's not, even though my trans friend says it is.

So when she gets done going down to her, Typical responses, uh, Raleigh wraps up. The first two responses in particular come from turf, rad femme, and gender critical ideologies, which are all proudly anti-trans. Even if you don't consider yourself a part of those movements, you're siding with them when you use their argument. Right. Their platform is cis-sexist, and their arguments reflect that. So even if you say you believe trans women are women, it doesn't do a whole lot of good if you're still

completely siding with folks who don't believe that trans women are women. And the last thing I want to say about this is that if you'd rather not have sex with a woman who has a penis, Oh, why not? What? Trans women are often afraid of not being found attractive or desirable after coming out, and you're not helping. If you really want to be an ally to trans people, you could just not talk about it. And by that, I'm not trying to say-

I am in love with that idea. Censorship. You have the freedom to say whatever you want. I'm just asking you to consider if it's necessary to say those things when they reflect harmful or violent rhetoric. Because if you have an opinion that you know is only going to make people feel bad about themselves, why constantly share it with the world? It's fine- Thank you. That's enough.

We don't need to hear Riley anymore. Thank you. I think we agree. We found something to agree on. That's what we're looking for here at the blaze. Something to agree on. Come together. I think we can all come together with,

if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it. If you think trans people are weird or bad people, don't say it. Because it makes them feel weird when they come out and they feel strange. How about they don't come out? How about that?

How about they just stay in the closet? How about that? How about the 1% of the people that are trans just stay in the closet? How about that? Oh, no, no. I can't say that. No. Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't stay in the closet. Don't stay in the closet, but don't talk about it. All right? I am a cis-sexist. I am. And I don't mean to promote cis-sexism. I don't mean to promote trans-sexism. I don't mean to promote trans-sexism.

Because I don't have transphobia. In fact, I believe I'm the one who said, if you have to go to the bathroom, go ahead and go. I don't care. But don't make a big deal about it, i.e. Riley. Why you got to keep ramming it down my throat, so to speak. Why? Just go. Nobody stopped you before.

All it is now is that you want to be able to, I'm trans and I'm going and I'm going into this bathroom. So? How about shut up and go to the bathroom? How about that? I don't announce

when I have to go. Usually. I don't know times, you know, you might have to. There was this one time. It was one time a bad camp? Very few will get that reference,

but those that do will laugh. Now, I will say that, New report. Claims a dramatic shift in millennials who identify as LGBTQ compared to other age groups. Well, A, let's, I want to be a little ticked at this story because it's LGBTQIA. Okay? I've had just about enough of IA not getting the respect that it deserves.

But will I digress? Okay. All right. LGBT IA All right That's what it is Sorry to disappoint you

But the IA is there now Okay Lesbian gay, bisexual Transgender queer Intersex asexual Got it People line the sidewalk During the gay pride march in New York

And boy what a look What a crowd that was What a crowd that was This picture that I'm looking at right now Oh man 20 percent of millennials, ages 18 to 34, identify as LGBTQ. Again, minus the IA. It's going to be hard for me to let that go. Accelerating acceptance is the latest report. 20% of millennials ages 18 to 34

identify as LGBTQIA compared to 7% of baby boomers ages 52 to 71 who answer the same way the total population who identifies as LGBTQ iA is 12% 12% 12% lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer intersects asexual so 12% of the population are all of those which makes that doesn't mean they lesbians or gays or bisexuals or transgenders or queers or intersex or asexuals are 12%. That means that the entire package is 12%. And we have to go through so many hoops. We have to get so many things rammed down our throats, so to speak, over this topic. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. All right. Also, let's see, a new Harris poll also compares those who define themselves as cisgendered or the same gender they were assigned at birth. I hate those people. Man, do I hate those people? No, I want to be the gender I was assigned at birth. Get out!

Oh, wait. Let's see. Harris Poll also compares those who define themselves as cisgendered or the same gender they were assigned at birth. To those who say they are non-susgendered or transgendered, according to the report, 12% of millennials identify as non-sistgendered. indicated they do not identify as the same gender they were assigned at birth, but only 3% of baby boomers and 6% of Generation X, ages 35 to 51, identified as non-sistgendered.

I can't read any more of that. Oh my God, was that cis-sexism? Yes, it was. Sorry. No, I'm not really sorry. 2017 is going to be a volatile economic year.
