Hello Kat and welcome to Toronto.
Not quite Toronto downtown Toronto,
but you know we're just right outside
of downtown Toronto.
And hello to all of the subscribers obviously,
that are here,
already here on my channel with me.
I'm outside,
it's weird,
but it's a nice day,
so I wanna show you my backyard
that I live in a couple of months a year.
So Kat's True Tea series is now a little more interactive.
And I wanted to answer one of the questions.
And the question is,
I don't know it word for word,
but essentially it's asking if I would date
someone who is my complete political opposite.
And the short answer is no.
But this video is only a minute long
and I want it a little bit longer,
so I'm gonna explain why.
Now I can see why or how some people would not care,
and maybe could date their political opposite.
Some people are just that way.
Now when it comes to the business side of politics,
like money and stuff like taxes
and that kind of stuff,
I... I...
Listen, I'm terrible at math okay,
I don't know that much,
I don't know the math behind politics and all of that,
so to say I wouldn't date my political opposite
when I know nothing about that would be a little strange.
But when it comes to the social issues,
I would not be able to date somebody
that is the complete opposite because,
my anger problems would just get
really, really bad every day.
I just...
No.
There is no way that there would be
a relationship that would last.
I would not wanna waste my time with that.
So for example I'm in a number of marginalized groups.
I'm in like two, but yeah.
So, I'm a woman, right.
And I am deaf.
That's it.
Yeah.
So if the person that I would be dating
was totally against equal rights for women
and you know were to say stuff like,
"She asked for it."
and would not allow me
or would not want me to have my right to choose,
and stuff like that,
I just would not,
no.
Like that's actually one of my most important things,
if you do not believe in my right to choose
when it comes to like stuff like abortion
and reproductive rights in general,
that would be an instant no for me in all honesty
because I'm not,
my sex life would not be getting involved in that.
Now I am deaf,
it medically falls into disabled category right?
So if you did not agree,
if the person that I would be dating did not agree
with the ADA
and did not agree with the fact that businesses
because of this law,
needed to follow the ADA,
then what business do you have coming into my life
and wanting to date me?
Because that's like a huge part of me.
And then there's other stuff
like I believe in rights for LGBT people,
trans rights,
gay rights,
all of that stuff.
If the person I was dating was a homophobe
and did not believe in gay marriage
and you know stuff when it comes to adoption,
stuff like that,
why would I wanna be with you?
I would just not be able to get over the fact that
this person would be watching a news station
that would grind my gears,
and that this person would be saying horrible things.
I...
Nope.
Now if this person was not a complete opposite,
and they were kind of,
I don't wanna say on the fence,
but if they were on the fence,
and then kind of transitioning
into similar opinions,
then maybe.
That doesn't sound so bad to me,
but yeah.
One thing I should mention,
I probably should've mentioned it already is,
I'm already in a relationship.
I've been in a relationship for two years,
a little over two years,
and there's probably a good chance
that we don't agree on everything politically,
but I'm pretty sure that for my main points
that would be deal breakers,
I'm pretty sure we're on the same page.
Unless there's something I need to know,
but let's just say that if I
had never been in a relationship before,
or if should something happen in the future,
yeah, still not planning on it.
I just don't think it's quite up my alley.
For those that don't mind
and could probably do it,
more power to you.
Your life.
But not for me.
And that's my True Tea.
I'll see you later Kat, bye.
