WEBVTT - Minisode 5: It's me again!

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Last day, last day. Goodbye Katara Ravash, Hello beautys, and

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to Beauty translated Minnesota number Bye. Wow. This week,

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm all by myself. I'm in the closet all alone. Well,

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I do have producers, Jess and Kurt with me here,

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>very grateful for that. Yes, they are keeping me fed,

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>they are keeping the lights on, they are bringing me

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 1>water and whatnot. But yeah, I'm in the closet all

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>by myself, and we're just going to cover some news. First.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a dog. He's almost three months old. His

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>name is Sonny. I was making myself breakfast and I

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>turned around and all of a sudden, he was shitting

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and before I could even pick it up, he had

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>eaten one of the turns. So insert horrified soundboard effect here,

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>whatever that may be. Anyway, that's what I'm excited about

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.839
<v Speaker 1>this week. My dog has not eaten any more shit.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's move on to why we fucking hate it here,

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>which is one of my least favorite states to discuss

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>is the state of Florida. And we're going to be

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about the state of Florida today because they are rotten,

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>horrid monsters. So, as we know, Florida signed into law

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>SB two fifty four, which was largely reported as a

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>bill that targeted trans youth and limiting access to gender

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>or firming care for trans youth, which is just one

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>reason why we fucking hated here. But another reason, and

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a big reason why we fucking hated here, is because

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>it has also limited access for gender firming care for

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>adults in the state of Florida. So when this bill

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>goes into effect, it will make it so that nurse

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 1>practitioners can no longer administer procedures for gender firming care,

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:26.239
<v Speaker 1>such as prescribing hormone replacement therapy, for example, which can

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>be done online, can be done through telemedicine, and you

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>go and you have your blood work done, a nurse

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>practitioner in most places and every state but Florida is

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>able to look at those lab results and administer your

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>hormone replacement therapy accordingly. But that is no longer possible

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in the state of Florida. And according to Aaron Reid,

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>which is the source of the article that I'm reading

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>from today, and we'll link that in the footnotes. But

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>according to Aaron Reid, who is a fellow trans woman

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and an independent journalist, please support her work. Eighty percent

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>of gender refirming care in the state of Florida is

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>performed by nurse practitioners, so that leaves eighty percent of

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.679
<v Speaker 1>the workforce that is treating trans patients in the state

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of Florida unable to do that work any longer. So,

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>as you can imagine, there's a lot of adults who

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>are scrambling to figure out how they're going to get

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>their not only their procedures done, but also mainly this

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to affect HRT prescriptions and things like that.

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>So people are trying to figure out where they're going

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to get their hormones from being taken off of hormones suddenly,

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>not anything anyone should have to go through. The bill

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>also includes changes to consent forms that now contain misinformation,

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>calling gender firming care experimental and claiming that studies showing

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the improvements on mental health patients after such care is bogus,

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>even stating that the quote Agency for Healthcare Administration has

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>recognized that hormone or antagonist therapy may cause physical and

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>psychological harm. It's important to note that the Agency for

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Healthcare Administration is the governing body that controls Medicaid in

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the state of Florida. And this goes in line with

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the announcement that they already made in September of last

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>year that they would be removing hormone replacement therapy as

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a requirement for adult Medicaid patients because it was considered experimental.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>Now they're going even further with that, and it's just

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>obvious that Florida lawmakers are trying their best to make

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>the state completely inhospitable to trans people. So the state

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>of Florida is literally at this point calling trans people

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>just an experiment essentially, and that we're not worthy of

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>care or bodily autonomy. So in two ways, that's why

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we fucking hated here. We're going to go on a

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>quick break and when we come back, we'll get into

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>some good news. Let's celebrate that, all right, and we're back.

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>First thing I would like to celebrate Maryland. The state

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>of Maryland just became the next state to entrine rights

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>for gender affirming care and abortion access into law. Governor

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Moore signed a bill last Friday that quote requires that

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 1>medically necessary gender affirming treatment be included in all state

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Medicaid plans and administered in a quote non discriminatory manner.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Governor Moore said, in our state, no one should ever

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>have to justify their humanity. Let's celebrate that. Thank you,

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Governor Moore. This is now our requirement of medicaid in

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven states in the US and banned in nine

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>states for all ages. We're going to celebrate the twenty

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>seven states which have protected this access. Let's celebrate that. Congratulations.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, there are ten states that limit access for minors,

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>nine that limit access for all ages, so Georgia being

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>one of them. Oh, one thing I wanted to say

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>is I'm just excited about Maryland because I'm going to

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore later this year for my ffs. So cool. Love that, Okay,

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>And to keep up with our friend in Montana, Zoe Zephyr,

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>just a couple of weekends ago at a queer prom

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>who proposed to her girlfriend, Aaron Reid, who we just

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>quoted her article earlier in the Why We Fucking Mate

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.679
<v Speaker 1>It your segment. So congratulations to Zoe's Ephyr and Aaron Reid.

0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's celebrate that. Let's celebrate that gay people love their

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 1>identical twin, and you know what, I support their right

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to find their twin and marry them anyway, can't wait

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.119
<v Speaker 1>for the wedding and for the last, but not least,

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the last thing I want to celebrate this week is

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to say goodbye. I want to give a

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>last dance to our doll, the diva, Katara Rabash. Everyone

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>say goodbye to Katara Rabaj Bye, Katara Nice, no and

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>ya anyway. George Santos has been charged and arrested. He

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>was first charged by the Justice Department and a federal probe,

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and he has since been arrested. I'm sure everyone knows

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>about this by now, but I just want to say,

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the photos have been great, the memes have been great.

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I've just been enjoying the moment. So let's celebrate that.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's celebrate another probably Russian probe going to jail. What

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>was he? He was Jewish, he was gay, he was

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>everything under the sun. I mean he was everything. Some

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>people even think he's lying about being gay. So he's

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 1>not Jewish. And his name isn't even George Santos. His

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>name is Katara Ravage. So he's a compulsive liar. George Santos.

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>We don't even know his name, we don't even know

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>his identity. He's Jewish. His parents died in his weight

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>who died in nine to eleven. His mom died in

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>nine to eleven. Four of his employees died in the

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Pulse nightclub shooting. I mean, it's a good thing he's

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 1>been arrested, because it seems like bad events tend to

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>follow him everywhere he goes. So maybe now that he's

0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>locked up, bad things will stop happening to the people

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:05.319
<v Speaker 1>in his life, because it seems like the common thread

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>was that they all knew George Santos and not apparently

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a good person to know. So sorry to that person.

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Sorry to George's cellmate. You know that's gonna suck. I

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's going to happen to his cellmate. His

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>sellmate is going to like die in like the worst

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>prison riot of all time. Probably, So yeah, we'll see.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>We'll be following the kaitar Rivas story and maybe she'll

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>be on the next season of All Stars. Who Knows?

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.040
