three-year-old participants, they would look at you and they would call you young. So really in the scheme of things where we label ourselves, where we label other people, it is so subjective. And when we think about, um, Like even religion, you don't know in the scheme of things how involved they are in their church or their practice or in their community.

Or I even think about like immigrants a lot where they may have come from a culture where it's completely immersed in their culture and now they're here and it's different. It's different and you may go to the same church here, but it will be with different people and a different culture and things will be practiced differently.

And so I just think in the scheme of things, really like zooming out and looking at the bigger picture, we have no idea where people are or where. where they fall unless they tell us and communicate with us about that. And that's why I think the pronouns in the emails are a great opportunity to just effectively communicate clearly with no ifs, ands, or buts.

This is what this person would like to be labeled as. That's just my two cents on it.

You know, I would agree with that wholeheartedly. I think that when I... speak to people and i talk about some of these things there is not a connection made between politics and health it is it's just there uh i remember this is so funny i remember when i used to not like uh certain certain governmental bodies

I think that when I... speak to people and i talk about some of these things there is not a connection made between politics and health it is it's just there uh i remember this is so funny i remember when i used to not like uh certain certain governmental bodies

uh because you know something happened and i didn't really understand how politics worked in it and you have to realize that that in this particular arena there are a variety of other factors and so uh for me when i go out to the community i don't think a lot of people make the connection yeah between health politics you know what can you do how can you be involved all those kinds of things so i'm in total agreement with you there is a political

And I think for many people, it's too much to think about. You know, and I mean, and I say that, I say that people don't want to think about it.

But yet at the same time, it's really, really important. As you were talking before about COVID and the mental health piece about it. There's a lot of things that are happening. I know that we're going to have a conversation about fake news and all those kind of things coming up.

Right now, the health factors that are impacting us as a result of the political decisions that are being made or not made is something that's very, very important to think about. I think about this. This is what I think about. I just had this conversation a couple of days ago with someone.
