Oh you said "hinting" and not "winking"... Well then, play the two minutes transgender
topic Thursday intro! Rise and shine
Realites!
Welcome back to another video, today
we're going to be talking about the
topic of hinting. Now, hinting is a term
that I like to use to be able to find
out whether or not someone will be
accepting of me coming out to them. And
it doesn't matter if you're trans, gay, bi,
pan, ace, or non-binary, or whatever you
may identify as. Hinting is just trying
to figure out how someone else feels
about said topic. For example, if you're
wanting to come out to an auntie and
you're not sure whether or not they're
accepting of the LGBTQ community hinting
is that process to be able to be like
"Heya, are you a fan of the LGBT community? AHHH" and therefore you would then know
and learn about how they feel about the
LGBT community. So without further ado
let's put two minutes on the clock, and
let's start talking about hinting! Now,
the most important thing that you know
about hinting is the goal of what you're
trying to achieve. You're not trying to
come out to them you're trying to
understand how they feel about the
community, and I should definitely make
it clear if you want to take the risk of
hinting then they may work out that you
are part of the LGBTQ+ community. So
therefore you want to make sure you
don't hint too often or else they may
become suspicious of what you're trying
to suggest. So if you attempt to hint
every single day in the back of their
mind of the person you're trying to hint
towards they're gonna be thinking 
"Hmmmm, are they, are they trying to say something? Hmmmm".
And
the issue of them becoming aware and you
not knowing that they are aware, well
that can lead to something very negative.
But in the flip side of that negative
they may be like sorry
trans community but my friend like coming
out of China if that does happen you're
basically giving them time to think
about whether or not you are trans and
whether or not they feel as if they
could accept you as you and a way to
make it not so suspicious is not to just
do it so randomly and out of the blue
you don't necessarily want to be talking
about how you feel about the Australian
fires and be like oh hey yeah what do
you think that showing people a way to
make it not so out of the blue is to be
watching a TV show or a film with a
trans actor or something to do the trans
topic and just be like hey what do you
think about the trans community do you
know anyone in the trans community that
way it relates into the conversation and
isn't just so randomly put into a
conversation if you're gonna come out to
a friend you're gonna want to make sure
that you pick to hint towards the friend
which is most likely to accept you you
don't want to go for the one that you're
most worried about you want to go for
the one that is most likely to love you
and accept you but with that being said
thank you ever so much for watching and
remember as always - like, comment and
subscribe and I will see you peeps in
the next video! And on that note goodbye,
bye!
