Um, okay, so this, this clip that I'm about to play is so crazy sauce.

I cannot even, like my can't even is busted and I just want to go through it, okay?

Okay, are you ready? This is Anne Halfaway speaking at, of course it is.

Anne Halfaway explaining the levels of privilege in American society at the Human Rights

Campaign. Are you ready? Probably not, but here we go.

The exception of being a cisgender male, everything about how I was born, has put me at the current

center of the damaging and widely accepted myth. That myth is that gainus orbits around straightness,

transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness.

Um, okay, so the flatter if there's already been. Right.

Nothing orbit. Anne, Anne, just quit. Um, but can I just say this is, this is already more

post-modern garbage than I can even handle. What do you mean that gainus orbit?

Straight. What does that mean? Yeah. What does that mean? That means nothing. What does it mean to orbit around

straightness? Right. Like I don't even, and listen to the applause.

It's just like a, it's just like a sort of a pretentious reiteration of everything that

someone's saying. It is so pretentious. What does that mean? Okay, okay, it gets worse or better,

depending on...

You're right.

That is not much of a plot to get. We're saying that this myth is wrong, but this myth is too real for

too many. It is ancient, so it is trusted. It is a habit, so it's assumed to...

I'm just gonna go ahead...

What is ancient about it? I'm just gonna go ahead and say that historically,

I don't think anyone has orbited around whiteness.
