00:00We're constantly told, well, it's got to be long, straight or blonde.

00:02And you're like, well, actually, or maybe no hair is beautiful too.

00:06Queer love is not abnormal.

00:08It's, you know, what happens every day.

00:11And I wanted to make sure that I was true to myself.

00:15So there are songs that are about him and there are songs that are about her.

00:19And as someone who's bisexual, that's my experience.

00:22Naturally, I just want to show up as my best self.

00:26And the only way we can do that is to show up as ourselves.

00:28And I think if we're consistently trying to hide behind what other people say is acceptable,

00:35then you actually diminish who you are and you can't properly do the work that you're meant to.

00:42So for me, I'm constantly trying to encourage people to actually truly be themselves.

00:48Bit by bit, I've been learning about who I am, whether it's the act of cutting my hair,

00:51whether it's about piercings, whether it's about the way I wear my makeup,

00:56whether it's the way I wear my clothes.

00:57Because that for me is sort of a rebellion, how the clothes I choose, the hair, the way I wear my hair.

01:04You can be plain and have no piercings or you can have all the piercings in the world.

01:07And it still is beautiful that we can challenge what the ethics of beauty are.

01:14And it allows the doors to be a little bit more open for us as feminists, as women.

01:21And I try to keep telling young people that that is the thing we need to do.

01:25Take the time to discover who you are.

01:28And when you discover who you are, it's less frightening to just be.

01:31I think that feminism is an attempt to equal the playing field for all of us,

01:53so that we have equal rights, so that we have equal pay, so that we're seen in the workplace more.

01:59That we have the same amount of foundation that men have in our lives so that we can also thrive just as much.

02:08We've been around for thousands of years and we will continue to be around.

02:12It's just whether or not people start to get used to the fact that we're here and we're not going anywhere.

02:17And I think that's okay.

02:19With your name, it's perfect.

02:20Thank you very much.

02:21Thank you very much, Cynthia.

02:23Bonne journée.
