00:01:20.340 thing is it has to say oh we get ali yeah yeah hey guys i just want to take this chance to um 0.85
00:01:26.880 you know come out today something that's been like on my mind for a long time and i've been very
00:01:32.900 confused about how i identify i've been very very confused and you know i've seen a lot of other
00:01:37.940 people online accent british but i'm curious what's going on i'm a bit confused
00:01:42.780 come out and been very brave about it and shared their story about how they identify their gender
00:01:48.300 their pronouns etc so you know i've taken courage from these incredibly brave um people and it is
00:01:54.240 pride month at the moment so you know i thought this was the best time to do it um you know add a
00:02:00.220 voice add strength to the lgbtq plus i community um so i am going to come out today and say that i've
00:02:07.340 been transitioning i've been very unhappy with who i am deep down um for the last eight years
00:02:12.940 and i've been doing like 18 plastic surgeries now what the i've just had a facelift um a brow lift
00:02:20.000 a temple lift an eye surgery a camphorplasty um and my teeth and as well um just these are just part of my
00:02:27.700 transition um i'm feeling really good um for the first time in my life i feel beautiful you know i'm looking
00:02:34.220 in the room and i love the moment and feel happy um 18 plastic surgeries and this is all linked to
00:02:44.100 not feeling happy do you not think sometimes people should just take that time out and try to find who
00:02:50.720 they are what they want and also bear in mind that they are influenced by their society so how can i make
00:02:56.260 a massive decision to have 18 surgeries to change i don't know without gender or her um cultural
00:03:03.640 background her identity based on something because i feel ugly that could be a moment thing that could
00:03:10.880 be a thing where you come up with that bro when i was young i had moments where i thought i was like
00:03:14.820 really unattractive or stuff like that because of my society how they were made to feel because what
00:03:18.860 what was attractiveness do you get it because of that definition now because of what society
00:03:24.340 is the burden that is put on me how can i make such a massive life decision that i change my
00:03:30.500 whole body my face um i don't know i just find it like find yourself before because your process could
00:03:38.360 be um what you're trying to say yeah what you're trying to say is don't act upon impulse yeah impulse
00:03:45.520 yeah that's pretty much
00:03:47.360 i hope people can respect my decision it's a very tough decision to come out this way
00:03:52.680 um but i am coming out as non-binary um i don't feel i identify as male or female i just feel like
00:03:59.160 i'm just in the middle um and my pronouns are they them korean jimin because i know a lot of
00:04:06.180 korean jimin she says i feel like well you're feeling you're feeling some change what was the
00:04:11.120 jimin about what is this i don't know i think some kind of a korean name okay so saying that
00:04:16.040 you feel like that but those feelings can change our feelings change quite often daily i would say
00:04:20.840 yeah so does that mean that now i feel very antagonistic towards you i feel like bringing
00:04:25.680 you on exactly no i i feel like that all the time against you um but if i was to move according to my
00:04:31.740 feelings my gosh i would probably look like a dinosaur because you know no because oh i feel like
00:04:38.640 this now i feel like that now what you meant by that i don't know i would make a lot of transitions
00:04:43.680 that's my home country that's my home country that's my culture that's a lie 0.99
00:05:02.420 is it well it is you're not you're british you see basically but maybe she bro it's like they've
00:05:07.420 moved bro it's as good as no no come on yeah living there no no you can move there no no but the thing
00:05:13.140 is even if you move there your home country is britain you're british but home is where you hang
00:05:18.420 your hat isn't it okay whatever then then i'd end to my house your house in my house then because i hang
00:05:23.360 hi a lot so the thing is here the thing here is that you are telling yourself a massive lie
00:05:31.620 well biologically you're lying no i'm not lying no yeah don't you think the biological she's like
00:05:37.900 lying to herself and not only that culturally she's identifying as something that she's not
00:05:41.940 she thinks or she wants to be the thing is bro when you discard a faith when you discard god
00:05:48.400 when you discard the yardstick that has helped humanity for millennia and then you look towards
00:05:56.780 what you're feeling feelings are very dangerous they vary like you said based upon where you're
00:06:01.820 living based upon your current mood yes based upon the movies and the music you're listening to
00:06:06.500 based upon your current circumstance if you're with a partner if you're not with a partner if you're
00:06:11.680 watching certain movies you're playing certain games like people some people they're very fascinated by
00:06:16.460 by the italian culture by the japanese culture some people are very fascinated with the indian culture
00:06:23.060 or western culture yeah so it totally depends and to make life and body altering decisions
00:06:31.280 based upon like you said impulse that's a very fragile life and it's a it's a life which is filled
00:06:39.440 filled with uncertainty filled with um just there's no joy there's no contentment because i mean one
00:06:48.000 week i'm feeling this way and i make 18 surgeries the next week i may regret it and then there's no way
00:06:53.500 back exactly now people can choose like culturally to dress up in a certain way etc they might like you
00:06:59.080 know if they listen to rap you know it's fine looking a certain way you're acting a certain way
00:07:02.580 but to start then changing your body to look like something you're not it's strange well let's
00:07:08.380 carry on yeah i mean it's strange i would maybe elaborate on that and say it's it's it's it's risky
00:07:16.500 and irreversible yes it's a irreversible decision yeah um and i also identify as jimin that's my korean
00:07:25.120 name but uh not only that i just i know it's a little bit confusing for some people nobody's
00:07:30.040 ever come out as jimin or korean but um this is something that you guys know if you've followed
00:07:34.560 my journey for the last eight years i've really struggled with identity issues with who i am
00:07:39.640 you know with who i am it's it's a very tough one so i've finally had the courage i've undergone my
00:07:47.600 um racial uh can't think of the word transitional surgery you know i've transitioned to a non-binary
00:07:56.120 person they then korean jimin and um i finally have the korean look so i'm actually really happy
00:08:01.860 um but i just want to say to people you know i get so many cool comments online i just want people to
00:08:06.520 be able to respect my decision and don't be you know non-binary phobic or anything just please
00:08:12.580 respect that this is how i feel this is a very personal decision and i've been inspired by the
00:08:18.140 courage of other people other young people who have come out and come out as non-binary or come
00:08:22.440 out in a different way and that's really kind of given me the courage because i think if they can do
00:08:26.760 it so can i so as it's uh pride month i just wanted to put this out there i've been very trapped in
00:08:33.420 my body for so long and you know i identify with the korean culture um i've lived in korea i speak
00:08:40.200 the language i have the korean look now i look completely korean if you didn't know who i was
00:08:45.340 you would just think i was a korean person you know even those words you see how much time she 0.99
00:08:49.460 repeated korean or he what do you even could they yeah they look at this worst as far as i know if
00:08:57.420 it is i think it's a he but just transgender into a she or non-binary yeah i'm sorry i'm just going to
00:09:02.120 say he yeah all right yeah the thing is how many times this person said korean and no i look korean
00:09:08.600 and and now like it's as if the insecurity is so high like no no i look korean now you can't deny it 0.94
00:09:14.620 now i'm a korean like who are you proving what to and this goes back to submitting your will to
00:09:18.340 allah subhanahu wa ta'ala god almighty be happy with who you are it's as simple as that if you're not
00:09:23.400 happy with how you look you are never going to be happy with what you become wow yeah yes if you're not
00:09:30.380 happy with what you look like they think that they're happy that's the thing no but that's
00:09:34.400 how do you know yeah they no no they haven't so i think bro it's just submitting your will to allah
00:09:42.040 subhanahu wa ta'ala and accept it and if you don't and you go for transition it's like i think malcolm
00:09:45.860 said they think they're happy if you don't stand for something brother which is yourself yeah in the
00:09:51.380 context of like your deen but happy with contentment you will fall for anything and this is what's
00:09:55.820 happening they're content now well the thing is that's it was first transgender to change the 1.00
00:10:00.040 their agenda then it's their whole culture then it's their whole country but they're happy now
00:10:04.680 well if that is happiness then i prefer to be unhappy any last words yeah i think the point
00:10:13.360 is that's how they feel at this moment in time but because their entire worldview is now based upon
00:10:21.020 feelings feelings we know are transient and they're constantly evolving and metamorphosizing
00:10:27.320 and changing yes so uh don't don't do that yeah exactly look the she this person can change do
00:10:35.080 whatever they like but the point here is this it's dealing with mental illness you know dealing with
00:10:39.320 it if it's a problem insecurity we need to see what factors play a role in make us making decisions
00:10:44.080 and if it's external sources then the problem is there not within ourself then we can't take that
00:10:48.760 decision to change our thought process and our body and our whole way of life and deny our reality
00:10:54.000 biologically even man like it's an undeniable fact to deny that and don't call me british but anyways
00:10:58.820 look like i said this person i they might be going through something i don't want them to watch this
00:11:02.220 and feel depressed if you feel like that look that's your choice you can do whatever you like
00:11:05.880 but genuinely finding your purpose in god and serving him is the greatest contentment that you can get and
00:11:11.480 that's all how we're all programmed and i would encourage you to read the quran um and find your
00:11:16.720 contentment uh via worshipping the creator rather than serving many creators on this earth which are false
00:11:23.320 creators of course and yeah that's it till next time brothers hope you guys enjoyed this if you
00:11:27.360 know any similar videos or something along those lines you want us to react to send it to us uh goodbye
