Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.62,0:00:07.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do things differently,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.55,0:00:10.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,transform community through healing as opposed to punishing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.61,0:00:12.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by recognizing that people are more
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.52,0:00:14.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than their mistakes or fucked up choices?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.65,0:00:15.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if those choices
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.81,0:00:17.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hurt other people in our community?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.44,0:00:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is it that we value?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.88,0:00:20.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What's important?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.60,0:00:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What importance do we place
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.62,0:00:24.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on responsibility for ourselves and to each other?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.96,0:00:27.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's responsible to want to own the choices we make,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.24,0:00:29.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to be accountable for how our actions affect others,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.98,0:00:31.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our community,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.14,0:00:33.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and not run away from our choices when the shit hits the fan.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.97,0:00:35.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I couldn't help noticing the reactions
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.55,0:00:37.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the accusations of rape,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.13,0:00:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fleeing distancing from maleness,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.62,0:00:41.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of my identity that was even remotely male,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.45,0:00:43.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from being seen as a man.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.63,0:00:45.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The repetition a reminder of female history,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.63,0:00:48.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gender non-conforming to the chromosomal condition.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.27,0:00:49.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I may look like a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.58,0:00:50.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talk like a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.60,0:00:51.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fight like a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.76,0:00:52.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even smell like a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.55,0:00:54.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,definitely fuck like a man,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.31,0:00:57.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I'm not really a man, remember?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.28,0:00:58.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I often think that's the reason so many people
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.96,0:01:02.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,start out as grown women and all of a sudden become boys as opposed to men
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.30,0:01:06.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after hormonal and surgical intervention.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.11,0:01:08.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\u1}_{\u0} after all, are not men.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.75,0:01:10.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore, not as threatening,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.10,0:01:12.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and certainly cannot be expected to be as responsible.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.76,0:01:14.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Either way, it seems that people want
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.42,0:01:16.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the romantic and sexual allure of men,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.70,0:01:18.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but not the legacy of men.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.27,0:01:19.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To have a boys life,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.62,0:01:22.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without a mans responsibility.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.28,0:01:28.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Playing dress-up,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.12,0:01:29.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,playing man for the attention,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.42,0:01:31.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's what drag is.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.09,0:01:32.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even if the stage is a political one.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.95,0:01:34.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's still a stage,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.02,0:01:37.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if you can take it off when it doesn't suit the situation, it's still drag.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.36,0:01:37.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's all good,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.86,0:01:39.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love drag.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.26,0:01:40.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's part of the umbrella too,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.10,0:01:43.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I think it's problematic to occupy male space in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.12,0:01:46.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but refuse to recognize that that is indeed the space one occupies.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.46,0:01:50.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And proceed to shirk the responsibility that comes with that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.04,0:01:53.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just like folks of colour,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.94,0:01:58.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like my kid, who may sometimes pass as white, even though they're not.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.21,0:01:59.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Race may be an illusion,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.79,0:02:02.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it is a powerful one in a racialized world,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.44,0:02:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as is gender in a gendered world.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.10,0:02:08.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't bale on my manhood when it's inconvenient.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.89,0:02:12.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm not ashamed to be, or apologetic about the fact that I am a man.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.66,0:02:14.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's whom I struggled, mostly with myself,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.33,0:02:15.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to liberate.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.40,0:02:20.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Although it is political, it's who I am, not what I do.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.13,0:02:21.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not my political or social statement
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.80,0:02:22.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since I moved here,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.81,0:02:24.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until I graduate from college.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.79,0:02:31.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am, or strive to be, the honourable and responsible man I was meant to be.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.14,0:02:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My inherited complex legacy included.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.30,0:02:36.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I owe it to those people who pay with their dignity every day,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.33,0:02:38.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and those who've paid with their lives to be who they were,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.94,0:02:40.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to stand firmly in the shoes I've stepped into,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.73,0:02:42.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for better and for worse.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.45,0:02:43.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I feel like I have a responsibility to them,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.49,0:02:45.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether they know it or not.
