Human Sexuality is Complicated…

In which Hank takes on a topic he’s been afraid to cover for a while now. How should we talk about sexuality, what is the difference between sex and gender…and between sexual orientation and sexual behavior.

It’s very interesting…and I think understanding it is a key to decreasing the amount of hate and self-hate out there.

Reblogging this because I didn’t post it earlier.

okay while i do think there’s something a little messed up about everyone praising a cis, straight, white man for saying things the queer community, POC and women have been saying for years, i also think it’s really really really nice to see anyone using their privilege(s) for good.

i mean, hank and john constantly seek to educate their viewers, but it’s really great that hank is talking about this, since nerdfighteria is such a huge audience/community and there’s so much potential for discussion and learnin’. the comment section is full of people saying their opinion was changed by this video, and i honestly don’t see anything wrong with that.

and i know i shouldn’t congratulate anyone on doing a privilege check since it’s kind of a sign of basic human decency, they’re so few and far between that it deserves a little internet-approval-thought-thing.

in short: good on ya, hank
