A person with a somewhat masculine voice says in a higher pitched tone, âBlue hair is weird!â They then change their voice to their regular tone, and say, âIâm gonna teach you this how I would teach a child. I donât know your life story, but for the sake of making this an educational video, Iâm gonna use stereotypes, so only take what resonates with you.
One child is born in a seemingly functional, to their awareness, loving family, while the other is getting quite the opposite. You canât choose that youâre born with it, so youâre put out in this world and the majority of your peers are like you, and the majority of your teachers, parents and authority are like you, and the majority of the media out there is showing people like you. So all of the kids that are not depicted by this media feel erased and different immediately from the time theyâre born, how they are born. You may feel too feminine as a boy, too masculine as a girl, like youâre in the wrong body, like you donât think exactly neurotypically as everyone else, youâre too thin, youâre too thick, youâre too dark, youâre not dark enough. Kids like this immediately understand the struggle of not being accepted by the majority, and if itâs not the peers doing it, keep in mind they have the same authority and media only depicting the majority of one type of person.
So both the outcasts and the masses are gonna ask the same question of how do I fit into society, and the majority of the authority and media is gonna be saying things like âGod is the answer,â âman marries woman,â âgirls are this way, boys this way.â You have a set amount of rules that if you have no reason to question, youâre not gonna disagree with. But when this world has taught you itâs not for people like you, youâre gonna ask, âwhy is it that way?â which brings us to, âwho is teaching us this?â Oh, people from this era or earlier, whoâs making this stuff, people in this era or earlier, âLet me do my research on who taught them that stuff.â
A common flaw with human beings is that they accept societal norms that are only in place for a little bit over their lifetime because they never lived to see a reason to question it. When you are born in a world thatâs seemingly against you, you have reason to research why these traditions are in place, and you say, âWow, if I happened to be born in the 1900s, pink was for boys and blue was for girls, and cheerleading is for boys and heels are for men, and the bible was changed to be anti-gayâ. Itâs almost like what we are taught is unreliable and not inherently factual, and in the time this was being taught, no one in the masses was disagreeing.
Everyoneâs born in a box, but we werenât all born with default settings, so we learned that humans can express themselves however they want. The way you think that only natural hair colors is normal, or how you dress is the right way, or blue hair automatically makes you weird, or pronouns equals liberal, that is taught to you. If this existed in the 1900s, this would be awesome [he points at blue hair], and this would just be english language [he points at pronouns]. When youâre wildly accepted by the masses, I see why you wouldnât want to step down, youâre at the top of the pyramid. But the reason that we dye our hair blue is that the only people that wildly accepted us are other people who werenât afraid of being different.
Now listen, maybe you just like authentically being a part of the masses, maybe your true self likes this stuff, thatâs fine. But you also have to acknowledge that you were taught to avoid anything that would get you bullied or a negative reaction by the masses. So therefore, whoâs really the top of the pyramid? [He flips the pyramid drawing upside-down].â
