Her autobiography "Redefining Realness" was excellent. I love listening to her talk. A true activist. Love from Canada.

One love. Love her, she's amazing, despite what some people say. I 100% agree with you, Storm Bey.
I am a transgender woman and seeing Janet speak is inspiring and comforting.

Thank you DPW. We're all in this together as members of the LGBTQI community and allies. Love our Allies. We all make each other strong. Don't back down.
What a beautiful passionate speech from a beautiful lovely intelligent person!!
people are hateful smh... but, trans author??? why not just author??? this is why i get a funny feeling with these marches. is it really a women's march for all woman? is it for the lgbq rights??? or is it for all man and woman??? malcom x and mlk, and countless people has already said all of this, but we still seem to manage to separate more and more instead of focusing on the main goal of coming together as a nation to get theses crooks out of here

She is a trans author. why not be proud of who she is? We cannot pick apart our identities - humans are complex, and everything that is a part of us makes up who we are. There is nothing wrong with her proudly proclaiming she is a trans author, any more than it would be for someone to proclaim they are a woman, a person of color, or anything else. Besides, trans women are more marginalized than cisgender women - just as black women are more marginalized than white women, and disabled women are more marginalized than able-bodied women. Intersectionality means recognizing that our intersecting identities affect the way we are treated, and the way we experience the world. It isn't a bad thing - it is recognizing who is suffering and who needs to be empowered

to just ignore these intersections, to neglect to lift up the voices of trans and disabled women, especially women of color, would be to ignore the structural violence that they face unique to those identities that not ALL women (white, straight, cis and/or able-bodied) face. ignoring these intersections say: your specific issues do not matter, even though you are a woman. Only certain women's issues matter, because only certain women matter. And that is not okay. The women's march and women's rights movement is for ALL women

This poor person wants attention. She has experienced trauma and now the liberal media is using her trauma to promote and agenda. They are propping her up and allowing her to perpetuate this narrative that she is fighting for freedom and liberation.
Could you please add subtitles to these? And all of your videos, really? That way people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have auditory processing issues can enjoy them too. Accessibility matters.
