00:06If you're watching this, we're assuming you already know a little bit about trans issues.
00:10Maybe you even care and want to help.
00:12And we're thrilled.
00:13But we're also guessing that you don't really know how.
00:15Well, where to start?
00:16Well, we're here to help.
00:18So, let's get to it.
00:19Now, a lot of you get confused about what to call us.
00:22I'm a trans woman.
00:23Because I'm a woman who happens to be trans.
00:27Grammatically speaking, that makes trans an adjective, not a noun.
00:30There are no transgenders here.
00:32Thanks, professor.
00:33And I'm a trans guy.
00:34I'm simply a trans person.
00:36I am not a drag queen.
00:37Wow.
00:38It's almost like all trans people aren't the same.
00:41What are your pronouns?
00:42She, her.
00:43He, him, his.
00:45They, them.
00:46They, them, but that's...
00:47They is a perfectly acceptable pronoun.
00:50And always has been.
00:51Are pronouns really that big a deal?
00:52Abso-freaking-lutely!
00:54Algo mas?
00:54Yeah, when in doubt, just ask.
00:57But nicely.
