WARNING: May offend sensitive viewers. This short film is not a documentary but a creative project depicting the difficulty, the impossibility, of modern dating scenarios. Gender roles are changing (which is probably for the better), yet we are still at a rocky time of great transition.

The LGBT+ community will, of course, not be satisfied without many more distinctions, but distinctions without a difference do not help much if all we're doing is trying to escape negative connotations that have built up around previous terms. For we will then always be changing the wording. No one wants to be cisgender when most of us do not even know what cis means. Unless one is in a women or gender studies class and keeping one's head down, taking prodigious notes, it is hopeless to try to keep up. And nearly all those people come under the term "bisexual" or "try-sexual," because they might try anything. It's only pushing us toward Candace Owens and the Whatever-style podcasts of conservative wankers who make tight arguments and funny TikTok videos. So wake up to the fact that things are out of sorts and, therefore, people are going to make funny and insightful shorts like this. Tolerate it. It's not the job of the world to not offend. Will we carpet the rocky world or get a pair of sandals? Watch, enjoy, or move on. Better yet, leave a comment as to what relevant short (or TikTok length) video YOU would like to see and have others see.
We have to be able to make fun of the news and our culture, or what's the point in talking about anything? For those who wash their hands of it, great. Have a happy life. For those of us who remain in the fray, What the H we're we thinking? We should have bailed out like the others. But we're here, so let's make fun. That's what standup comedy is for and voices like comedian-commentator Jimmy Dore. Turn on, tune in, drop out -- you see how well it worked for the hippies. They're all enlightened now, right? The human world is a strange place with a unique quality that makes it a good place to learn things. We are between the celestial world where things are better and the animal and subhuman world where things are much worse. So it's like we're not high on a mountain or safely on the ground, yet we're not drowning out at sea. We're right in the tumult of the surf, often able to crawl onto land after being tossed about or just on the verge of going under. Swim! Stay afloat. There's no calm here, no safety. It's time to reach the further shore.
