00:00You're mad, I'm back, I'm big mad, he's mad, she's mad, big sad, ha ha
00:06If I had to go through these struggles and trials in order to get to that ending goal of
00:20the ending goal of helping kids and helping kids in these situations
00:24then you know what, I mean, I'll take it
00:26Texas still has a law in place to where whatever you identify as
00:40if it doesn't match your birth certificate you have to compete as what it says on your birth certificate
00:46and so back in high school on my birth certificate it said female
00:50because I was biologically born a female
00:52He saw that I was transitioning, I started testosterone even though it was none of his business
01:06of what I was taking because I already had plans and regulation with UIL and my doctor
01:12to where I was taking the amount that would not put me and exceed me out of the normal range levels of a cis woman
01:21When people hear testosterone they think PEDs which is a performance enhancing drug
01:51I feel like right now this fight with the anti-trans bills and with everything going on with trans athletes
02:01and the LGBT community, there's a lot of things that I need to do now in order to get done
02:07because I feel like I will be failing my community and failing myself as an individual
02:13They're sending the message to everyone saying well we don't accept these individuals
02:19we won't accept them and that's sad because how are you going to tell an eight-year-old boy or girl
02:27that is wanting to participate in sports that oh you can't because you are different
02:35If you look into the bills they're not using any recent analytical data
02:41they're not using any new research, especially Kansas' bill that I was looking at
02:47their research is from like 1996, 2011, and 2012
02:51There's a big difference between the two
02:53They're not using any recent analytical data, they're not using any new research, especially Kansas' bill that I was looking at
03:01Their research is from like 1996, 2011, and 2012
03:05There's this UK doctor that I was looking into and have been looking to, Joanne Harper
03:09and she's a trans woman and she's competed as a runner in her past and now she's a scientific researcher
03:15She has done research on trans women that looks into the red blood cell count in cis females
03:23and comparing it to trans women in sports and there's no difference when they hit after the six-month mark once they're on hormonal therapy
03:35There's no evidence saying that trans women have an advantage in sports
03:41There's none
03:45How we can fight these bills is changing the narrative
03:55Even at home, when you're talking with your peers, start initiating these conversations to your school work
04:05Educating people of these different things that people don't understand
04:09In these states that are trying to pass these laws, going into secession, getting a hold of the local governors
04:17and talking to them and being like, no, this bill does not need to be passed
04:21This is going to be more harmful than it is going to be helpful
04:25These bills are just retracting years of development that we've been trying to be progressive in
04:33Once they're passed, it's going to be so much harder to try to get them unpassed
04:41If we're able to nip it in the bud right now, we can then focus on those states that do have them passed
04:55You just got to keep doing you and you can't let nobody tell you different
04:59As soon as you start listening to other people, to what they say, that's when they start getting to your head
05:05If they are, just keep trucking, make history, go through those barriers
05:11Keep doing you, just be you, don't let anybody tell you different
