Dolores on Trans and Gay people

I just found Dolores Cannon and she's preaching all of the things I already believe and have picked up from years of obsessing about the other side, souls, etc. Super cool to hear a women in the field - I feel like most often it's men. She of course, is a human and is fallible and I think it was most obvious to me, at the end of the first "chapter" of her Lecture Series on Spotify - when, after she goes on about how souls have to experience every aspect of life, gaseous, rock, animal, etc - she brings up trans people. And says something along the lines of, "I don't understand transsexuals - they came in to experience life as a woman or a man, and they want to switch back to what they were in a previous life - they're just going to have to come back and do it again".

This was so funny to me... because she just finished talking about how disabled and "r**t**ed people, aka, neurodivergent people - choose a challenging life for a reason and to help others grow.

She says that most souls have experienced thousands of human lives - of course a soul has already experienced hundreds, of lives as both a woman and a man. I'm a little shocked that it was incomprehensible to her that a soul would choose to live in a trans body, to experience the world in that way, and so that their existence could help others grow too.

It just seems so glaringly obvious - but I suppose that is this day and age. She also says people are gay because you were incarnated as a certain sex too many times in a row. Not because the soul wanted to experience what it would be like to be a gay person??

Again, the whole point is for souls to choose challenging lives. Her non-recognition of a soul choosing to be gay or trans only proves what a challenging life it is. Even she comes off as bigoted.

Still a fan, and I know she is a product of her time - but I just thought it was a crazy thing to say. That and the R word.

A few questions...

How many times where you scheduled to perform during the festival?

How long was your set(s)?

If you performed multiple times - did you do different sets?

Was it required, necessary or important to be there for the first two days and last two days? (obviously it is ideal to be there for the entire fest but curious about 100% availability, given the fact that comics are given such little notice)
