1. 0:07Hello everyone. Hello everyone. So many
2. 0:11of you are asking me, what is actually
3. 0:14happening? I mean, so many teenagers,
4. 0:18so many young adults are expressing
5. 0:23some form of sexuality, sexual identity
6. 0:26, gender identity—let's call it
7. 0:29unconventional, atypical; uh, we could
8. 0:32call it, uh, divergent, to use the
9. 0:38terminology we use, you know, for
10. 0:41neurodiversity: the LGBTQ + community
11. 0:45is increasingly represented. But what
12. 0:49is going on? A sign of the times? Has
13. 0:51something changed? Well, honestly, I
14. 0:56believe that nothing has changed in
15. 1:00people's minds. In the sense that the
16. 1:05forms of sexuality, the expression of
17. 1:08sexuality, the manifestations, gender
18. 1:11identity, sexual identity, uh, have not
19. 1:15had any type of, let's say, structural
20. 1:18change in people's minds or bodies.
21. 1:22Actually, what has changed, and it has
22. 1:24truly changed, is the possibility of
23. 1:26expressing all of this. There is a wave
24. 1:31of people who were once deeply
25. 1:33destroyed in their existence by the
26. 1:36impossibility of freely expressing
27. 1:39their sexual identity, their gender
28. 1:42identity, and let's also say all the
29. 1:45variations implied by that plus in the
30. 1:48LGBTQ + acronym. Uh, because there
31. 1:53isn't even the idea of being able to
32. 1:57define them all clearly and precisely
33. 2:01with terms or with labels. Right? This
34. 2:04is very important. Inclusivity should
35. 2:08not be limited to identifying yourself
36. 2:10anew, I might say, with a label. So,
37. 2:14the possibility of being who you want
38. 2:18to be in the absence of definitions is
39. 2:21perhaps the most interesting, most true
40. 2:25message of the cultural wave of the
41. 2:28LGBTQ + community. And so I don't think
42. 2:34anything has happened in the minds of
43. 2:37kids, teenagers, young adults, or
44. 2:40adults, but rather there is simply a
45. 2:43movement of affirmation underway, of
46. 2:46affirming who one is, without
47. 2:48limitations, without stigma, or, to put
48. 2:51it better, trying to work on reducing
49. 2:54the stigma; because in reality, we
50. 2:56still have so much of it. I repeat: so
51. 3:01much stigma, because everything that
52. 3:04diverges from the norm, whether it has
53. 3:06to do with sexual identity, gender
54. 3:09identity, or neurodiversity, is still
55. 3:12abundantly subject to stigma. It's hard
56. 3:16to imagine the world changing overnight
57. 3:18, and indeed it doesn't, it doesn't
58. 3:20change overnight. What we can say is
59. 3:24that we are probably starting to be on
60. 3:26the right path. Uh, this is very
61. 3:31important because it’s not just a
62. 3:33social and political issue, it is also
63. 3:35important for health reasons. Let’s
64. 3:40remember that sexual identity and
65. 3:42gender identity, if they cannot be
66. 3:45expressed and recognized in the most
67. 3:47free and inclusive way possible, become
68. 3:50a source of maladjustment for the
69. 3:53people who find themselves in this
70. 3:55condition. Consequently, this
71. 3:59maladjustment can lead to severe
72. 4:01psychological instability. Do you know
73. 4:04how many people have taken their own
74. 4:06lives, for example, due to issues
75. 4:08related to sexual identity or gender
76. 4:11identity? I’ll tell you: a lot,
77. 4:13really a lot. And this is important to
78. 4:15emphasize. How many people, when you
79. 4:19try to understand better, when you
80. 4:21study their suffering more closely, you
81. 4:24realize perfectly well that it is
82. 4:27always a problem of unrecognized sexual
83. 4:30or gender identity. The fact is that
84. 4:34this must be addressed, it must
85. 4:37absolutely be reviewed, and above all,
86. 4:39we psychiatrists must become much more
87. 4:42expert in all of this than we are,
88. 4:45because the possibility of guiding
89. 4:47these people through paths of awareness
90. 4:50and affirmation is truly important. It
91. 4:54is something that truly changes the
92. 4:57destiny, the existence, and the health
93. 4:59of people who simply want to be who
94. 5:02they are or become who they are. This
95. 5:07is a topic that often generates discord
96. 5:11and debate, because we are seeing a
97. 5:15wave, a political resurgence of
98. 5:18rigidity—I am tempted to say of......
99. 5:24of violence toward personal freedom.
100. 5:29Well, all the various discourses about
101. 5:33the Catholic family—precise, perfect,
102. 5:37totally adherent to the norm—honestly
103. 5:41, this is something that can no longer
104. 5:45be heard, and it objectively should be
105. 5:49cast aside by politics, and we should
106. 5:55start doing something that has more
107. 5:58solid social and scientific foundations
108. 6:01. I don’t know what to say; actually,
109. 6:06let me know what you think about all
110. 6:07this, because there will surely be
111. 6:09someone who says, "Oh come on, we’re
112. 6:10exaggerating; things weren't like that
113. 6:12in the past." No, things were exactly
114. 6:16like that; they simply weren't talked
115. 6:18about, and people who had different
116. 6:20sexual or gender identities suffered—
117. 6:23that is the word—they suffered, no
118. 6:25ifs, ands, or buts. Consequently, I
119. 6:29believe that what is happening today is
120. 6:32simply not just a change, but the
121. 6:34possibility to affirm oneself for who
122. 6:36one is. Let me know what you think; it
123. 6:39is very important. I want to ask if you
124. 6:43are aware that on November 28th we are
125. 6:47holding our event in Bologna called "
126. 6:50Diversamente.""Diversamente" is an
127. 6:55event created precisely in this spirit,
128. 6:59that of inclusivity, which is the
129. 7:02possibility of ensuring that people can
130. 7:05be what they want to be and who they
131. 7:08actually are. Um, well, I recommend you
132. 7:13take a look at "Diversamente," because
133. 7:16we didn't think so many people would be
134. 7:19interested. I think we will easily fill
135. 7:23a hall of more than 800 people, and
136. 7:26that's great news because it means the
137. 7:29topic of neurodiversity, and perhaps
138. 7:32diversity in general, really resonates
139. 7:35with people. So, take a look down in
140. 7:38the description for "Diversamente," or
141. 7:39search on Google for "Diversamente
142. 7:41Valerio Rosso Life Fology" and you'll
143. 7:42find everything. You still have the
144. 7:45chance to buy a ticket because we have
145. 7:47many more available. We changed venues,
146. 7:49we have a new hall that is much bigger
147. 7:52and much more spacious, so please don't
148. 7:56miss out, "Diversamente" Bologna,
149. 7:58November 28, 2026. See you there. Bye
150. 8:02to all the ladies. Bye to everyone.
151. 8:03Greetings from.
