1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,640 Speaker 1: Am I the a hole for telling my mother in 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: law that she's not going to be in the room 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: when I give birth by mom? This comes from STARTUS 4 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: eighteen thirty nine, and they say before I began, I 5 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: need to clarify that I'm a trans man. I was 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: a fab but transitioned about five years ago, a fab 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: assigned female at birth, I thirty male AM thirty eight 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: weeks pregnant with mine and my husband James's thirty three 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: male first child. We had talked about children before I transitioned, 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: and we both said we wanted them. After I transitioned, 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: he asked me if I would be okay with carrying 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: our child, and if I'm not, we would look into 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: other options. I told him I still wanted to carry 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: our child, as I always wanted to experience it. I 15 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: haven't started on tea or gotten surgery because I wanted 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: to wait until I had kids, and I didn't mind 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: waiting either. I feel somewhat okay in my body, and 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: whenever I do feel dysphoric, my husband is always there 19 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: to help me. 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: Poor baby. 21 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: So sounds like OHP presents as a man but han't 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: done any surgery or any or any medication. 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: And op is like, I'm I'm okay with this. I 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: do want to be able to have my children and 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 2: I children and I can wait. 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. When I transitioned, James was and still is very supportive. However, 27 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: his family did not take it well. They continue to 28 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: call me by my dead name, along with the wrong pronouns. 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: Whenever James or I correct them, they bring up the 30 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: fact that I don't have the right parts and I 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: don't look or sound like a man either. Boy. It 32 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: upset me at the start as I had been very 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: close with his family, but now I've gotten used to 34 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 1: it and do my best to ignore it. James, however, 35 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: can't get past it, and when someone says something, he 36 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: ends up arguing with them, which sounds like Opie's husband 37 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: is kind of going to bat which is good, which 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: is good, which is good. When we told his family 39 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: that I was pregnant, they were all excited as this 40 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: was the first baby born into the family. My mother 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: in law especially was very excited and began telling me 42 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: about different things I need to do to keep the 43 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: baby healthy. As the months passed, though, I kept hearing 44 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: comments about me being a mom, even though I made 45 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: it clear that I want the baby to call me 46 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: Papa or dad. I've been told that I can't have 47 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: a silly surgery to remove my breast because I need 48 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: them to feed my baby. Also, they're glad I came 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: to my senses about pretending to be a man. We 50 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: found out we were having a little boy, and almost 51 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: instant I don't think we've ever read a story like that. 52 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: This is yeah, this is a verse. This is an 53 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: incredibly unique story. This is a very unique story. 54 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: We found out we were having a little boy, and 55 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: almost instantly we picked a name for him. We both 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: love anything to do with space, and we wanted our 57 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: first born to have a space related name, so we 58 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: named it after Elon. 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: Muskin asylm omnium. 60 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: So we decided that our little boy would be called Leo, 61 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: after the constellation. My mother in law wasn't happy with 62 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: that name and started calling him Isaac. Bro have your 63 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: own kid, then do it. 64 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: Leo's cool name. It all works. 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: James and I corrected her numerous times, telling her that 66 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't our son's name, but she wouldn't listen. 67 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 2: I feel like this is pettiness. 68 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I see, this is as mother love. Yeah, ye, 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: she got a blanket, a few onesie's and a teddy 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: bear with the name Isaac engraved on them. She told 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: us that when we see him, we'll see that she 72 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: was right and that will name of Isaac. Dude, how 73 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: is this mother in law so daft? 74 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 2: Truly? 75 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: Imagine imagine you're like, oh, what's your little boy's name? 76 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, yeah, this is Leo. Nah doesn't 77 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: look like Leo. No, looks more like an Isaac. 78 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: Let's let's name is Isaac. I got this president that 79 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: reaffirms that, hey, give me his pirth certificate. Let me 80 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 2: let me just scratch that out, and it's it's this 81 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: to me is just again a further like subconscious e 82 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: petty dig. 83 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: And I feel like it's in an effort to maintain 84 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: control of the relationship that it seems like mother in 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: law has not come to terms with. 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah and continue to push the disapproval of. 87 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: We decided to do a hospital birth, and my mother 88 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: in law demanded that she be in the room so 89 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 1: she could see her first grandchild being born. Neither James 90 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: or I want her there. We wanted to be a 91 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: special moment with just the two of us. She would 92 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: not take no for an answer. Last week, we were 93 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: at their house for dinner and she began bragging to 94 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the family that she would be there 95 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: when I had a baby. James snapped and told her 96 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: she wasn't going to be there, especially with how she 97 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: treated me over the past few years with my transition. 98 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: She got upset and yelled at him about being an 99 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: important moment for her, but. 100 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: How about an important moment for the parents. 101 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: But James wasn't having it and they both got into 102 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: a pretty heated argument. I had enough and told her 103 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: to f off and take no for an answer, or 104 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: she wasn't going to see her grandson ever again. She 105 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: started crying and I received multiple players from the rest 106 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: of the family. James and I left and neither of 107 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: us spoke during the ride home, But when he got 108 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: home he said he was sorry for how he acted 109 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: and he didn't mean to upset me. I told him 110 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't his fault and he had every right to 111 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: say something. We spent the night cuddle in bed, watching 112 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: TV and feeling our son kick. 113 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: Dude, James is a ride or die?

Not only do you have burglars, you got squattered.

You don't even get 217 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: to see him, right. 218 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: They started galling, demanding that we showed them. 219 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: Leo. 220 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: Bro, it's not the Snyder cut.

Oh, go, you know 224 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: about the Snyder cut. Snyder James's mom called Leo Isaac 225 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: again and said it was right to see him as 226 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: his grandmother. James handed the carry to me and told 227 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: me to go to the bedroom with Leo. I doesn't 228 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: have tate and left the room. I heard shouting coming 229 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: from both James and his family. James threatened them by 230 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: saying he'd call the cops if they didn't go, and 231 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: that got them shut up. About fifteen minutes later, I 232 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: heard the front door open and close and James came upstairs. 233 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: When he stepped into the bedroom, he just broke down. 234 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: He collapsed onto the ground and sobbed. My heart broke 235 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: and I hurried over to him and held him in 236 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: my arms. He kept apologizing to me over and over, 237 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: and when I said it was okay and we figured 238 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: something out, he just kept saying, no, apologizing again. 239 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 2: What's up, James, Something's going on.

The brother's husband. Who knows what could be 429 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: said or done if he attends. And yeah, we are 430 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: being selfish, but it's our wedding. I'm not really sure 431 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: how he'll react though it took my brother a long 432 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: time to accept himself. Oh, I'm sure this won't feel good. 433 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: I hate this, This sucks. 434 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: Right, But at the same time, maybe his husband won't 435 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 2: want to attend anyways. I have nothing against my brother's husband. 436 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 2: He is a lovely man. But we are just trying 437 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: to have the day go smoothly. When we extended invitations out, 438 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to my brother in person and 439 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 2: ask him not to bring his husband for all of 440 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: the reasons above. Would I be the a whole if 441 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 2: I asked him not to bring his husband.

You have to be okay with 499 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: that if. 500 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: You want to attend, Yes, absolutely, instead of on inviting 501 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: someone who you actually care about and who not who 502 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 2: if you did not invite, you. 503 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: Would go against your values. Talk to the people who 504 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: don't represent those values, yes, and say I'm in. I 505 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: will invite you. But this is these are the circumstances 506 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: that you are invited under. 507 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: You're you're punishing quote unquote the wrong person. You're yes, 508 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 2: you're punishing the wrong person. Yeah, you're punishing the wrong person. Like, yeah, 509 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 2: they like the parents deserve some repercussion, Like how selfish that, 510 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: Like the parents let their own bigotry overtake their love 511 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: and want for their child to have the most beautiful, easiest, 512 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: most amazing day possible. 513 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I have a feeling that maybe 514 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: they will be silently you know, angry or disgruntled. But 515 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: I think if we have that conversation, lets that's really crazy. Well, 516 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: but also that conversation will inform if you can actually 517 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: invite them. 518 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: And I would say this is also a great test 519 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: on the parents. Yes, because if the parent says, like, 520 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 2: if you say, like, hey, I I I want I 521 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: love my brother, I love my brother's husband, you know, 522 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 2: give us this day and you know, just our daily breain, 523 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: don't don't don't, don't bring any problems to the wedding, 524 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 2: and the parents are like, we would never imagine that 525 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: one the parents say, we would never imagine doing something 526 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: that would ruin your day. So we're here to to 527 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 2: do that. You pass the test, right, Or if they're like, no, no, 528 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: we're gonna say what we want, We're gonna do what 529 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: we want. 530 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: I really like where we came. I really like where 531 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: we came. Yeah, talk to the parents, talk to the parents, 532 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: and also talk to the brothers and then say like, hey, 533 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: this is what we've talked to the parents about it. 534 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: I think now that I'm like we've kind of tossed around. 535 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes, because you are punishing the wrong person. 536 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 2: I would agree. I would agree, but we have some 537 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 2: relevant commons, ladies and gentlemen. First one from backstage Ninja, 538 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: you're the a whole. I understand. Uh, it's to make 539 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: life easier for a day that should be important to you, 540 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: But honestly it's still a crappy thing to do. Your 541 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 2: wife needs to tell her family to just not be 542 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: a holes for five hours out of their lives. Noisome 543 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 2: wind says you're the a whole. We might just be 544 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 2: getting a chorus of you're the a holes. Oh and 545 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 2: also for context, the verdict on the post was also 546 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: a whole, like the overall consensus. Instead of disinviting the 547 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 2: biggots who would cause problems, you're choosing to disinvite a 548 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: decent person who happens to be gay. Let me ask you, ape, 549 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 2: are you going to exclude your brother and his family 550 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 2: from every family event from now on? 551 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: That also is another great point, yep, Like, I think 552 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: stick with your values. 553 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: Stick with your values if those are actually your values. Birthdays, holidays, 554 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: what happens if you have kids? Will you exclude them 555 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: from your kids' lives because your wife's family thinks they'll 556 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: be a bad influence. What if your kids are LGBT, 557 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: will you cut off your wife's family then, or will 558 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 2: you let them mistreat your own children? What do you 559 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 2: think your exclusion of your brother's husband will teach your kids? 560 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 2: This is not the only time their beliefs will cause problems, 561 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: and you need to think about how you're going to 562 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: proceed from here on out and the consequences your choices 563 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 2: will have in years to come. Opie responds, this is 564 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: a good point. I never thought of it this way. 565 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: Actually, that's good talking around learning and hey, you know 566 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: what we were like, we were tossing around, talking at 567 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: different ideas. I think it took us as Sack to realize, 568 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: like how to navigate this properly because a wedding is 569 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: so like, there's so many emotions and things tied to 570 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: a wedding. 571 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: So it deserves sitting down and really putting some good 572 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: thought into it. Pleasant Edition says, Ope, consider that you're 573 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 2: siding with the people who are more bigoted than Mike 574 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 2: effing Pence, Opie says, noted. Crj G ninety five says 575 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 2: if they were massive racists, would you ban all black 576 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: people from your wedding to keep them happy? Opie says no, 577 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: very yeah. Hypoxy eight says you're the ahle. Wow, you'll 578 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 2: make the appearance of sighting with homophobes rather than being inclusive. 579 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 2: You're clearly not as open minded as you think you are. 580 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: Opie says, maybe I'm not. Honestly, everyone's responses really are 581 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: making me second guess my decision or thinking we're hearing 582 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: pants sup Fritz says, you're the ahole so so much 583 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: it's hard to believe this is real. Be prepared to 584 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 2: never speak to your brother again if you go through 585 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 2: with this. What a slap in the face to him 586 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: and his husband. It isn't their fault. Your in laws 587 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: can't control their bigotry for one day. Opie says, I 588 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: do realize that maybe I am going about this wrong. 589 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: It's giving me a chance to think about it. Pants 590 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 2: Up Fritz says, I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks 591 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: for listening. 592 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: This is okay, like this person, this is good.

So my original 613 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: post got so much attention, and I got a lot 614 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: of requests for an update. Here you go. I went 615 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 2: to my brother and his husband and mentioned that there 616 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: was the potential of some serious negative reactions from my 617 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: fiance's family, and I asked them what they thought about 618 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: my brother coming solo without his husband to my wedding. 619 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: Wait wait, I thought we learned. I thought we learned. 620 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: I thought I thought we had all had a learning moment. Yes, 621 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: and we had learned. 622 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: It looks like you were just about to go in 623 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: and ace the test and then you failed. How do 624 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: you fail? A wait? This was past fail. 625 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm so confused.

You responded to said comment and said, oh, 627 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to like take this into account and I'm 628 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: gonna listen, and then you bumble so odd. 629 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 2: We'll get ready for this, sam. I thought I was 630 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: providing a middle ground by asking them their opinion instead 631 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: of just delegating who he could bring to be fair. 632 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: That is one of the things that we brought up initially. 633 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: But no, no, no, this is an important distinction because 634 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 2: he said, we said, here's the situation. Is a preference 635 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: on what to do? 636 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, like like I need advice on how 637 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: to navigate this?

That is true because op is making 640 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: their preference. It seems like their preference known. It's like, rather, 641 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: it's like what you think about the proper if if 642 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: this was in your value, the proper thing would be 643 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: to say, what do you think about you still coming? Yeah, 644 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: with you and your boyfriend. 645 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: Or just like, uh, what would you like to do? 646 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: How I'm wondering how I could be supportive exactly, helping 647 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 2: them figure this out, just figure this out, figuring this out. 648 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: That would be a middle ground. That's what I'm saying, 649 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: at least that's what I'm saying. Yeah, much more of 650 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 2: a middle ground for sure. Unfortunately, this didn't go plan. 651 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: That's what Reddit told you. It didn't go his plan. 652 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: I told you, and they both got super offended and 653 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: said that I was discriminating against them. I told them 654 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: that wasn't what I was doing. My guy, you don't 655 00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: get to decide that. 656 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't discriminating against you. I was asking if 657 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: you wanted me to discriminate. 658 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: It exactly exactly. Oh my god, I was asking first. 659 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 2: I told them this wasn't what I was doing, because 660 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 2: I was coming to them first and asking what they 661 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: thought and what they wanted to do. But they didn't listen. 662 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 2: And now it's all ft. They didn't listen, or you 663 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 2: didn't listen. My brother said he doesn't know if he 664 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 2: still wants to come to the wedding and his husband 665 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: got in my face and told me that I needed 666 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 2: to him. This was a few days ago and he 667 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: still isn't talking to me. It's making me pretty upset. 668 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 2: How do you think they feel? My fiance says, I 669 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: did the right thing, though I'm trying to reach out 670 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: to him closer to the wedding when things have calmed down, 671 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 2: as I do really want him there. Anyways, everyone's responses 672 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: really helped me out, and I wanted to update, did 673 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 2: it We have some top comments. 674 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: The response has really helped you out because it sounds 675 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: like you didn't listen at all. 676 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think people were pretty clear, and it seemed 677 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 2: like in the ones that were like pointing you in 678 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: this direction of like, hey, don't don't punish them. What 679 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 2: about the family? Yeah, you know, yeah, there's he could 680 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 2: have he could have gone to the family. I really 681 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 2: take time to think about it too. It's like, yeah, 682 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 2: I really think. I mean, this is the conclusion we 683 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: we we both came to. But you go to the 684 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: family first because there is a possibility that op, he 685 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 2: never has to burden the brother with us, and he 686 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 2: gets the parents to agree not to do anything, and 687 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 2: he's like perfect. 688 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: Now, punish the people who are bad. 689 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 2: Punish the people who are bad. Punish the people who 690 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 2: are bad. 691 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: But again, like I under I understand being emotionally clouded 692 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: because of how much stuff you have to deal with 693 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: at a wedding and there's a lot of expectations and 694 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: emotions of a bunch of these family members to manage. 695 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: I understand that. 696 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: I have empathy for op in this. 697 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: For sure, I have empathy that Ope is maybe not 698 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: set up for success. 699 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 2: It's a it's a tough thing to do, and again, ultimately, 700 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 2: this is your day. But also like like Sam, always 701 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 2: want that data represent what what? Oh, that's a great question. 702 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: What do you want that data represent? And like what 703 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 2: would what would you do? Like if I'm in this situation, Yeah, 704 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm I want to protect my sister. Yeah, 705 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 2: that's the person who I love and have this close 706 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 2: relationship with and all these things.
