| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up y'all? This is your girl Diamond. |
| 0:04.0 | Oh, so y'all know that I want to highlight people. If I find somebody that is like doing a damn thing and I feel like they align with shit that I be talking about, I break my neck to try to get them on the show. And this person is no different. |
| 0:24.2 | I want to introduce y'all to Dr. Shanae Thomas. |
| 0:28.6 | She is a black, queer, non-binary person. |
| 0:38.0 | And I made that correction because in some of the language that when you are talking about yourself, I say, call me, you say, call me he, call me she, but don't call me they. And so that's going to be where we're going to fucking start in this right now. |
| 0:43.0 | So tell me why he and she is cool, but they is not. So let's break that down. |
| 0:51.4 | Well, hello, everybody. It's great to be here. First of all, a fan. Like, this is like, I had to tell somebody earlier, I was like, I'm about to be on a celebrity podcast.

| 1:46.0 | identifying as one gender, a particular gender, having particular understanding around gender, |
| 1:52.0 | I literally move this planet as Chenaya. And so I like to hold that as just like just seeing |
| 1:59.0 | myself as one person, one being one spirit. |
| 2:02.4 | But for they just doesn't resonate with me. And I will also say like, you know, I back in the |
| 2:08.5 | day before, you know, we started talking about like non-binary, particularly as a term, like |
| 2:12.8 | identified as bisexual, but I only had that term because that's all I had. We talked a little bit before |
