i got a question sure what was your name
again i'm sorry i don't think i told you
my name is mercury nice to meet you well
nice to meet you
what do you hope to get out of this
why are you here okay i i've been asked
that question a lot first of all that
question should not even have to be
asked but when people stop talking
really bad stuff starts when marriages
stop talking divorce happens when church
starts happening they fall apart when
civilization stop talking civil war
ensues when you stop having a human
connection with someone you disagree
with it becomes a lot easier to want to
commit violence against that group
whether it be the great genocide the
horrible genocides the last 100 years
people stop talking with each other
because they lose their humanity i wish
we could be here without having my hat
thrown off and stuff but
what what we as a culture have to get
back to is being able to have reasonable
disagreement where violence is not an
option you think that what this science
says
another human being that is intensely
targeted at their emotional well-being
okay so feelings mean nothing
this is a very clear message
tell me what the clear message is
that you are so against
what am i about
you should rewrite it or something say
like i believe there are only two
genders let's have a discussion not
their only two genders that is a very
but
statement
why is the why are both of you so
bothered but why this uh what this is
saying
but
it's just a discussion it's like that's
what i don't understand
correct and that's what starts a
conversation in a discussion it's not
income
to start a conversation well look around
i i've had nothing but respect and love
for you throughout this whole
conversation am i not i think maybe i
have it maybe i the problem i'm seeing
here and correct me if i'm wrong is that
you think you can say things like this
no there are only i can't say stuff like
that no and then say that you don't
promote violence i don't promote
violence i'm not inciting violence
against anyone i would never condone
violence in any specific group
ever
and so the the here's where we had this
is so important don't misinterpret this
for where it's not now if i had a sign
that says transit genderism is a mental
disorder or it's evil which people do
come on campus and say you're right i've
experienced that i am transgender and i
know what that feels like oh okay again
so don't loot me into that category i am
making a biological observation and
statement that is rooted in fact and
evidence of which i've shared for the
last hour and a half respectfully and
with dialogue and discussion for
everyone to allow their opinions heard
so isn't this the proper way to do this
have i not have i embodied respect in
the way i've done this maybe i haven't
i mean
what what it looks like
i mean it's not really that crazy
what what is why does that bother you
guys why does it bother you that people
identify as something other than male or
female it doesn't i've never said it
bothers me so then why are you doing
that because i'm making an observation a
sociological observation i said there's
three reasons why they do it first of
all you couldn't just leave it alone
but is it is it speech all about
challenging things that are difficult is
it isn't why we have the first amendment
to try to push our boundaries and to
hear things that might make you mildly
uncomfortable this doesn't make me mad
though does it make you very
uncomfortable it makes me angry why is
it what it means but okay so you are
denying the existence of people i have
never said that
your sign says there are only two
genders that's all it says you're right
okay words
so don't have inference behind it
