every time there's an "identifying birth sex by facial features" I cease to become a ciswoman with my cisman-father's face and instead transform into an eldritch creature that hangs out in the woods eats sour gummy worms
My Mum has passed on, but she was “accused” of being transgender several times, especially since she was one of the few “lady doctors” in the 1960’s. Her deep voice and slim, muscular body didn’t help, either. She wasn’t offended, and I don’t know if she had any transgender patients, but she would have been respectful. You can’t tell anyone’s sex from looking.
As a disabled cis woman, I can confirm I have access to help for showering and washing, which strangely includes the washing of my down-below. Yes. That is how it works if you cannot do it yourself, wether it is after surgery or not. Also I can neither clean, iron, nor have babies. Am I a trans woman now? Do I need to check my baby pictures again? This is all so confusing😏 Dare I call it.. dystopian? 😆
I'm also disabled cis-woman and I get help when needed, though mostly need it for washing my hair sometimes. Some people need more help than others and luckily that help is achievable for many, even if that's way too few in the end. Every disabled person should have all the help they need. I'm also apparently a man because I grow a little bit of extra hair, have broad shoulders and strong jaw. I guess I have boobs just for show then x) (not that you have to have boobs to be a woman, but these people would also call anyone with boobs a woman... Well unless they're moobs because naturally that's different lol... It isn't that different). I'm also not marriage material because I have periods!
I find any people thinking they can figure out a person's "biological" gender based solely on their bodily proportions hilarious. I'm a pre-HRT trans woman myself, and I'm 5'4", have narrow shoulders, and small hands and feet. Proportions mean nothing lol Sidenote, likely starting HRT in the next couple weeks 🥰
I'm nonbinary, I just recently started T-blockers, and I'm about the same height and also have small proportions. It would bother the Ben Shapiros of the world, but not me. Good luck as well.
@serebiifreak Proportions definitely play a part in how easy people will pass when they transition. A 6ft2 stocky male will have a much harder time passing as a female than someone your size.

As a nursing assistant, if your genitals are dirty and you can’t wash them because of age or medical reasons, I’m going to be washing them. Male, female, gay , straight, cis or trans, I’m coming after them with warm soapy wash cloths, so you don’t get a skin infection or breakdown. Because that’s my job
Thank you very very much for attending to people who need medical help. ❤🩹 I'd literally throw money your way if money happened to be something I had access to. Cause people are inherently worthy of being alright and looked after and cared for.
Exactly!! Why do some of these people assume that washing a post-op trans woman's bits is the worst thing a nurse or nursing assistant could go through? Washing genitals is fine. It's understaffing that's killing us.
The way those "transvestigators" think, if they actually looked in the mirror with the same level of scrutiny that they look at celebrities, they'd think they were trans themselves.
Came out to my parents. They were miffed that I was anxious about telling them and have fully accepted me as their daughter even though I'm still pre-everything. Even just being out feels like living in color after a life in greys. I just get flashes of "Wow, I'm a girl" and it feels soooo fucking good.
For some reason, the 'transvestigator' photos always remind me of the people who think that lens flares in bad photos are ghosts. Same mindset. They don't understand how eyes or cameras work, and just project their fears onto a photo for no damn reason.
They remind me of nosy old biddies sitting on their front porch talking on their landline to their bestie biddy about how the woman next door is a prostitute because she has male guests and the guy across the street is a drug dealer because he has tattoos and expensive cars.
As a medical anthropologist, I cannot explain the joy the term “body dystopia” gives me. I love it to so much. When we learned about the skeletal anatomy differences between men and women in class, my friends and I all went around (gently) sticking our finger in each others’ eye sockets to test it. Sure enough, my transmasc friends on HRT have the sharp eye sockets of a man.
Many bony differences between the sexes are secondary sexual characteristics, which develop after puberty from years of adult sex hormones. I didn’t know about eye sockets, either!!!
There's a short story that refers to aging as "the game of time and pain." (...though in the same story, that phrase is also used to refer to torture, existence, and BDSM. And sometimes more than one of the above at once. Because some fantasy writers are also comparative literature professors.)
It just sounds like puberty TBH. And then having to deal with the effects of that puberty in a society that needs you to have a psychiatric trans certification to be allowed to change your body outside of cis norms.
It’s hilarious that people think they can “tell” when someone is trans or not. I’ve only ever befriended 6 trans people in my life. Do you know who I knew was trans before they told me? One. And I knew because they literally transitioned before my very eyes when I was in high school with them! 😂 All the others were adults that fully transitioned when I met them, and I wouldn’t have ever been the wiser if they decided to never tell me. One of them was a Vietnam war veteran too, so it’s not just “the young people being confused and / or brainwashed.” It’s like… tell me you never leave your mom’s basement and interact with the real world, without saying it. I’m a very introverted person and even I have experienced more of the world than these degenerates. Hahaha!
I met my best friend through Sea of Thieves and I had no idea that he was a transman until I came out to him as one xD He thought I was a gay cisgender guy. We were both confused. Both of us were trans and we had no idea the other one was lol.
I met a couple trans people in school and i didn't realise they were trans until they told me In fact, my transfem friend didn't tell me. I was crawling around on the floor and I saw her art folder and it said 'Lewis' on it and I said 'who's that' and she said 'that's my deadname' and I replied 'oh' and that was the end of the interaction
I actually hate when people say young trans people were brainwashed into being trans because no one even told me what transgender even was when I grew up and I only knew a single trans man who never even said he was trans until later and never talked about it with me, no one told me to be trans, I just am
exactly, if anything people were telling me not to be trans, why do transphobes think we would willingly make things harder for ourselves just for funsies
I feel like these people just cherrypick the minority who do get exactly what they wish for. Chance dictates they exist, so all it takes is ignoring everyone else! But man, so many TGTF stories involved willpower being that powerful and I was so disappointed when it wasn’t true lmao. Part of what cracked my egg in the first place.
"why do a tweet that's so clearly wrong to anyone who knows even a little bit" that's the point. They're not talking to us, they're talking to people who don't know anything and trying to brainwash them into believing that we're abusing small children.
Yep, they're talking to people like my parents and that's why my life sucks so much. Posts like this one are why I have such a hard time trying to show the truth to them. They are buried in bullshit and I can't stop it. I gave up finally. You can't save people that follow that pipeline. You only end up in the mud pile with them.
I was watching a documentary the other day about intersex children, and those with botched circumcision, where the parents used to choose their gender at birth. Time and time again, no matter the medical and hormonal intervention, the child would begin to know who they were at startlingly young ages. It's why most doctors have stopped intervening and have suggested to let the intersex child guide you. Knowing that, it isn't such a huge leap to believe that trans kids know who they are, too.
If a person's gender is based on how people have sex than everyone is AAA until they lose their virginity, and your gender changes every time you sleep with someone new. BTW AAAs are AOK.
I actually read a fantasy book including this. One guy flet his country because he was a gay bottom and therefore not a man and couldn't inherit, meanwhile the lesbian protag did count as a man
I actually nearly choked laughing at 'gender dysphagia' omg. I guess I had difficulties swallowing that person's stupidity ☠😂 Edit: oh man this comment blew up lol, thanks for all the likes everyone and I'm glad y'all found my silly joke funny! x'D
I'm sure if breasts could be stolen, they'd also be traded, like "hey trans-fellow do you mind getting top surgery at the same time as this trans-lass here so we can take your breasts off you & give them to her???"
To be honest, this kind of thing is why I’m not pushing hard for changes in the way my organisation handles its forms… it needs a delicate touch and there are so many people who don’t understand the concepts… at all. I’m slowly getting through some basic gender inclusivity training with some key teams. It’s difficult when people say things like “I’ve never heard of gender non-binary before, that’s given me a lot to think about” because you just know that even if they’re keen to get it right they might really crash and burn. It will be a slow improvement, but I hope a steady one.
Oh please, the pander to your whining is disgusting. you are making it confusing on purpose. the wokeism needs to stop. please leave western civilization
@@gustavohermandio1440 intersex people have lived as long as anyone else. The fact that you are not educated on a topic does not mean people are "making it confusing on purpose." Do you know how complicated fishing is? I don't know or understand a lot about it. That doesn't mean it needs to go away.
@@Schnort the alphabet mafia comes up with new pronouns every hour but its not to make it confusing on purpose ? wokeness needs to stop and leave our civilization. you can pretend to be a fake what ever all you want, just dont ask others to agree with your delusions...
You were saying dysphagia correctly ^w^ Also, as a nonbinary person who's uncomfortable with literally every aspect of my meat suit, "body dystopia" feels accurate lol
As a cis person I think "body dystopia" is a great term in general, for people who aren't exactly experiencing dysphoria or dysmorphia but are not satisfied with their bodies for whatever reason. I could certainly see "body dystopia" being a good term for people with immune disorders or PCOS or various other conditions that fall under the category of "destroying the host from the inside out"
As a trans person I'm so tired of people saying it's all "people telling kids to be trans" And all that... I saw an afab person using he/him pronouns and openly saying he's agender and my first thought was "wait you can do that?.. Oh.. Sounds good. I like it" When I was around 10, first time I found out that people can be non cis.. Now I am 19 and very trans I'm pretty sure I've known for a lot longer but never knew what it was, I just needed to see another person like me and I started to understand what I actually felt.
I didn't realize I was trans until I worked in a prison as a correctional officer. The reason being is you don't use first names in prison, only last names. So I wasn't hearing my deadname anymore and then it clicked. I looked and acted like a man in prison and it felt amazing. Everyone treated me like one because it's safer to deal with inmates that way. I didn't get brainwashed...I was 26 years old when this was happening. Everything in my life made sense to me after I realized. All those things growing up, finally made sense to me. The puzzle pieces fit together finally.
My gender has felt wrong since kindergarten, but it took me until age 47 to come out as trans. That's precisely because of lack of education, and because no one is telling people that they are trans, even when they are practically begging to be told they are trans. (I told my therapist in college that I wanted to be a woman. She just avoided the subject. Next session, I wore a pink nightgown and fuzzy pink slippers to my therapy appointment. She didn't say a word about it.)
well, think of it this way, why be not like other girls and hate that you aren't like them, when you can be a paragirl? being 99.9% girl is still a form of transgender.
I feel so embarrassed about this but I’ve basically been working 24hrs straight with only a few breaks until now. I was waiting for my food and watching this when my cat distracted me and my hungry mind melted, so instead of hearing “LGB without the T”, I heard removing the T in a BLT- the sandwich. I quickly looked back at my phone and realized what my brain had done and I’m not sure I’ve fully recovered yet. I hope my sleep-deprived brain will make someone laugh. Love you all! 💜
I'm a trans woman and I learned to sew when I was a boy. However, my mom didn't teach me to iron, because she said, "In the future, clothes won't need to be ironed." She was extremely wrong, but I still refuse to learn how to iron, just out of principle, because I was promised clothes wouldn't need to be ironed.
It's like watching someone make a paper plane, throw it, and when you think the thing is gonna fly nicely it just dives, does a 180° and hits the person in the knee An Attempt Was Made
They get that like meme of the awful ms paint style gold star with the super small text that says “you tried”. I always like the “prefer not to say” option just to mess with their data. It would be pretty easy to find out based on my responses as an AFAB, fem presenting but thoroughly gender confused individual but why make it easy when I can bring CHAOS?! Or if there’s an “other” spot, put “human” 😂
10:50 my ex wife had me on testosterone for this very reason. It did nothing but confuse everything ever worse for me. In the end, I'm still the trans women I always had been. Yes. I got rid of that crazy. My now wife is amazing BTW. Next month I'll be interviewing surgeons as iv been on hrt and have done everything else for my transition. It's going to be heaven to finally be me in my own body for once.
Thats so dystopian and disgusting, drugging your partner because they don't identify the way you want them to is severely disturbed and I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad you're free to be yourself with someone who loves you for who you are now.
Good Luck! I hope everything goes smoothly with your surgery! Also wow...that's horrendous, that's a whole different layer of abuse wtf. I'm glad you are rid of her and hope you're healing!
I'm cis and when I had a hysterectomy there were doctors and nurses all up in my bits, during both surgery and recovery. I don't see how that's any different from them performing a vaginoplasty on a trans woman.
This. Why do they not understand that there are many surgeries that involve the nether regions that have nothing to do with trans surgery. And they are all up in your bits (as you put it) before, during, and after. Especially after. Infections can be deadly.
The true believers will insist you’re different because of spiritual differences about your womb. I’m not even kidding, I’ve had so many conversations about hysterectomies with terfs and they almost all ended up at the spiritual womb nonsense
@@lokicooper4690 I can’t tell if you’re calling it a fake phenomenon (it isn’t) or acting like I believe it (I don’t). It’s the last resort of terfs who have argued away every other possible immutable physical differentiator. At least revealing how it’s a pseudospiritual cult
You can tell that person's not working anywhere in the healthcare system, because speaking as a care worker in an aged care facility, cleaning someone's lower half is just a normal part of the job, man.
I've washed plenty of bits and it hasn't always been pleasant, but it only becomes a problem if the patient is distressed or prone to violence. If you wanna help nurses, fight for proper staffing and better wages, not against trans women.
@@WinningSidekick Yeah, exactly! Healthcare jobs in general are horrifically underpaid! One of my co-workers has been here for 15 years and she's only getting about 15 AUD an hour! Not to mention the burnout and short-staffing! They had to send me over to the dementia ward last shift because they only had ONE PERSON caring for more than 10 severe dementia patients. And amongst that group are a loud woman who has gotten violent before, a blind man who grabs people, and a kleptomaniac we're constantly trying to keep out of people's rooms. Worry about situations like that, man! Trans people are just existing!
These Bad Anatomy videos show the truth of the old phrase, "They hate the things that they don't understand." As for "identifying transgender people by looks," that just expands their abuse to cisgender people who don't have traditional gendered features. I always make transphobes try to pin down how they plan to implement their exclusions. Looks catches some cisgender people and lets some transgender people through. Showing genitals is invasive and lets trans people with surgery through. Chromosomal testing requires a blood sample and lab, and excludes intersex people. Looking at ID lets transgender people through who live in civilized places that let people change their ID. All of the ways they try to exclude people are cumbersome and fail part of the time. On the other hand, accepting people are who they say they are is very simple. As for "Stealing women's titles", that's not transgender folks, that's Drag Queens. And they do it fabulously! As for injecting transgender folks with the hormones from their assigned at birth gender, this has been tried. Again and again and again. It simply doesn't work. I accept that LGBT kids can know who they are at a young age because I knew who I was at a young age. I knew I liked girls. I knew I was cisgender, though I never needed to put it into words. If I could know that, then I accept that anybody might know their orientation and gender identity as a child.
Yes! In terms of the last paragraph. I knew I liked women; I was very confused on if I liked men or not, because I wanted to be seen as a man. Since I was nine I felt that my body didn't fit my gender, but I didn't have the words for it besides "I don't want boobs; I want a flat chest." My family said what I felt about my chest was normal (in terms of cisgender folk feeling the same way I did). I didn't come out as trans until I was 20; now, I'm struggling to find a way to go on T, and hopefully, top surgery later on. I'm very depressed and so full of anxiety that my anxiety is keeping me hesitant about going on HRT.
@@PhantomFerret Sounds sorta like the experience of my trans friend. She says she always felt attracted to men but she felt weird because she wanted to be a girl and be attracted to men not a dude whos attracted to men. Also she described her attraction as more like wanting to be wanted by men rather than wanting men. I respect her and we’re friends but tbh I didnt rlly understand her perfectly but seeing your comment shows its probably not that rare among transpeople.
It's also notable that your chromosomes don't necessarily match your gender, even if you're cis. The blood sample thing would still pass over some trans people and catch a few cis people.
Body Dystopia would be a great name for when people want to control others choices, an extreme of that would be what's going on in America (and other countries) right now with the whole abortion laws thing. Like "Oh did you hear about Roe vs. Wade, yeah we really live in a Body Dystopia"
this reminds me of when i came out to my parents. They asked me if I hated myself, told me to go to church and find myself and every chance my family gets they try to affirm that I'm female to "solve the problem". I never confirmed to them what my gender was but doesnt seem like I need to because no matter how open my glass closet is they are still going to misgender me. (p.s. I'm libramasc.)
You made a really good point when you said "why should we trust that cisgender kids know who they are but not trans kids?". I totally agree with that statement as it would be a double standard to only trust that cisgender children know themselves but not trans children. It's the same thing with sexuality. Simply because "straight" is seen as the default, people won't even question if their children are really straight. However if their kid tells them that they're queer, they change their tune and start questioning everything because their kid identifies with something outside of the "norm". It's ridiculous and people like this shouldn't have children.
Wholeheartedly agree. I think good advice for people would be that "If you can't handle your child being gay, bi, ace, pan, trans or otherwise part of a non default group, reconsider. I don't understand how one can deny their own child to be themselves, like wtf?! People will deny their child happiness and comfort just because their kid isn't like everyone else?
Yeah, it's ridiculous. I totally see why people think that way though, it's easy to get used to the norm and not look outside of their comfy little circle of straight cis people, especially when media and society as a whole caters to them. Which is why I'm glad media is taking steps to include more people and show that diversity is actually what's normal.
@@yumiitsme I Don’t see what needs to be elaborated. If cis child can be trusted with saying their cis, then trans kids should be trusted when saying their trans.

Fun fact: Apparently the attack helicopter thing actually came from a really deep and interesting book about the government and military hijacking the ideas of identity for the sake of a war machine. Not actually mocking trans people. ... Either that or the book was inspired by wanting to take the joke seriously and bring it to its logical conclusion
It was the joke first and then the book. The book did go fine okay lets explore your joke like it was real. The trans lady who wrote it faced a lot of harrassment tho :(
The first time I saw "identify as an attack helicopter" I thought it was a way of saying non-binary people are badass, just as cute as saying asexuals are dragons that was can magic 🧚✨ I was super disappointed to learn it had a negative connotation 🥲. I still wish we could all have a positive outlook on the joke of being an attack helicopter 🚁
@@twistysunshine Isabel Fall was the author, and it was actually a short story. It was truly disgusting to see how many prominent queer authors initiated the dogpile on her because they couldn’t be bothered to read past the title and assumed the story was transphobic in nature :/ She actually decided to go back in the closet as a result of all the harassment. Deeply sad series of events
@@alilililili868 It's been pointed out that the attack helicopter is ironically a pretty good trans allegory if you're familiar with its history. The first attack helicopter was the AH-1 Cobra, which was based on the design of the UH-1 Iroquois utility helicopter. The AH-1 was fitted with stub wings, an armored tandem cockpit, and of course, a chin-mounted gun turret. It still uses the same engine, transmission, and rotors as the UH-1. Yet nobody would refer to the AH-1 as a utility helicopter anymore; it's an attack helicopter because that's what it was designed to do. Of course, given the addition of the gun turret, I would say it's more transmasc than the other way around.
I think that I have an identity crisis right now ... I know that I am trans but I also thought that I was German. Since they assigned me the wrong gender, they also may have assigned me the wrong nationality at birth 😭

When I first came out as trans my mom made me go to the doctor to get my hormones tested because she was convinced I felt too masculine because I had too much testosterone in my body. Turns out I actually have too much estrogen than is healthy but the doctors put even more estrogen in me to “ fix” me.
That's terrible and incredibly dangerous. Why the hell would they give you more of the thing that's already a health hazard for you ? That's like saying to someone "Oh, your cholesterol levels are too high, let's fix you by making them rise even more !" Those doctors should have their licence revoked and be put in jail for intentional tort. I hope you're doing good !
yeah this shit is alarmingly common, some doctors love pushing estrogen birth control to forcibly feminize young AFAB people, often without even telling them that's the goal! i have PCOS and i'm transmasc. when i was a teenager and started seeing testosterone affect my body, i didn't mind, but everyone told me i had to go on estrogen birth control and T blockers to "fix it". none of them ever told me there were non-estrogen birth control options that would treat my painful periods while allowing my T to stay high, or that i didn't have to take T blockers if i could live with the acne from T/ the masculinizing effects. they did not want me knowing those options existed. doctors think its up to them to decide, "well conforming to your assigned gender makes life easier/better, so that is what this person needs, and i'm living up to my Hippocratic oath by making them do it" it is true that gender conformation treatments have been forced on young people, but never to make them trans, its always to try to force them to conform to cisgender expectations
I almost wanna post one of my (a NB person) photos to the transvestigators and be like "I think this person was actually born [opposite sex]. Does anyone else agree?" And see them unintentionally validate me not being my born sex
I am non-binary. I told my nan I wanted to take testosterone to balance some things out. She asked me why don't I also take estrogen if I was doing this for balance sake. I just had to stare at her for a moment before explaining that I didn't need to take estrogen if my body made it well enough on its own. I just wanted to be able to grow a beard and feel more masculine so it was equal with my femininity

Flashback to me watching Tomo-chan is a Girl and wanting to punch my mom for saying that everyone is blind because you can always tell if someone is trans or not. Clearly not because she still thinks I’m 100% cis
I think the best way to do gender on forms that I've seen (when it's necessary at all) is first asking what gender the person is, with options like "man," "woman," "nonbinary" "other" and "prefer not to say" then a separate question for "do you identify as transgender," which is the same set up of questions that many forms in the US use for ethnicity and race (with the second question being about hispanic/latine status). It's the easiest option other than an open-ended fill in the blank, plus it's thorough.
I can't imagine many contexts where an organisation would need to know if someone's trans. Maybe if it’s a company that sells sanitary supplies? I guess it could be insensitive to send adverts for pads and tampons to a trans woman.
@@Ruthavecflute You're definitely right, I think most of the time asking about gender at all is probably unnecessary. In a medical context, or maybe for census data, they could go with the two-step approach. As well as for certain research topics, like media and representation.
@@Ruthavecflute When those questions are on job applications, sometimes it's a matter of wanting to see if there's unintended bias in the hiring process, or because they want to see if their applicant pool is as broad and diverse as they'd like. The responses to those questions (except the "what pronouns would you like us to use when communicating with you" ones) are generally not supposed to be available to the people doing the interviewing and making hiring decisions. (If a company asks me what pronouns I prefer, etc. it's also a way for them to signal "just so you know, we're not going to be a bunch of raging transphobic assholes" -- the positive sense of "virtue signaling," where they're sending a deliberate signal that they intend to respect people.)
could be a good idea, seeing how there is an infinity of genders. but it would be difficult to collect data for survey. "a disturbing number of amab catgender people ....(insert injustice here)"
Ok I actually have a funny story about this one time in school this dude was saying the whole “I identify as an attack helicopter” and being a just a jerk and a problem his friend who was in the GSA said to him “yeah? Well I identify as one punch man” and sucker punched him the stomach, winding him. It was so funny
"We can tell the difference" - I always find it hilarious when I hear that. While it's true that sexual dimorphism occurs in humans, our society, understanding and acceptance of our differences in expression are way beyond what used to be. Just a couple of years ago I was in the US two lovely people complimented me on my looks and proceeded to ask me if I was 'born a woman'. I found that hilarious
I almost have to laugh when I people say "we can always tell" because they can't. I'm speaking for myself, a trans male twink here but a lot of people assume I'm cis and I'm not that masculine. Like I have a hairless cute face, wear loose clothes that don't show my figure (even though you can tell I have a flat chest), don't know what my own voice sounds like and am currently wearing a Hello Kitty beanie (they're adorable). Some people, I'd say less than 10%, think I'm a woman and a few think my (cis) sister is a boy just because she has short hair. I went my whole senior and maybe junior year of high school stealth so NO "we can always tell" is false
4:56 on the topic of gender selection, we had one we had to fill out for a school thing (can’t remember what it was for exactly lol) where the options were male, female, nonbinary but once you select a binary gender option you are then prompted to select trans or cis. i thought it was really well done and i think that‘s a good model for people to use/base their own models off of if they want statistics on the different people using their service
Maybe for you. I use the one on my post transition BC and they will be serving snowcones in hell when I check "trans" I keep a black sharpie pen in my purse and draw a thick line though anything but SHE.
Any sort of comments about bras make me, cisgender woman just go into full "um actually" mode. If you are not a 34-38 B-D cup, finding a bra that fits is HARD. Oh and if you think you wear A bra in that size range, you might actually be wearing the WRONG SIZE. Cup size doesn't determine if someone "needs" a bra; that's up to the person wearing it. THERE'S SO MANY FACTORS FOR COMFORT. Yes I am that friend who has taken people with boobs of all sizes shopping to experience the euphoria that is a Bra That Actually Fits. I am a huge nerd.
awh, i would have loved a bra nerd friend when i was younger!! i used force myself to wear uncomfy bras just bc i didnt realise i could just not wear one. now i rarely do unless im on my period then i wear sports bras for the compression lol but bras have always been too big or ill fitting for me so i gave up xD lol
@@electronics-girl and most don’t train their staff properly and they give you wrong answers. I went for a fitting one and was told I was a 42C when I’m actually a 38E.
Jamie, every day you post, my face just lights up and I lie back, knowing that its gonna be AMAZINGG like you make my whole day so thank you so much 💕💕💕
Ok I just have to mention this because I think of it every single time I hear the bullshit about trans women 'respecting women's spaces', or some variation of that and it breaks my heart every time. There was a story I saw on a TV show (can't remember which) about a trams man who had to visit a public restroom. Regardless of how right it was, he was doing his best to be polite to the owner of the facility, and did as he was told, using the women's restroom when he should have been in the men's. And coming out of the women's, he was jumped and beaten nearly to death by 3 guys who assumed he was a man being a predator in the women's restroom. How are you supposed to win! (I believe this facility was a camping ground or park of some sort but can't remember, so there was really no one around capable of immediately stopping the attack.)
That's horrible! Another thing that scares me is the cases where a non-trans woman uses a bathroom and is harassed by people who think she's trans. That's happened several times in the US, with people being threatened, followed, filmed, having them police called on them, etc. As somebody who has always looked more masculine, I'm afraid that will happen to me when I move back there.
I'm a woman in my 50s. I'm the primary wage earner, and my wonderful husband is the primary cook/cleaner in my home. He is just as much a man as ever: more of a man, IMHO. The idea that chores are defined by gender is ridiculous - and that they are offended by someone else's gender is crazy. I'm cis-gender but have never given birth. Are they going to take my woman card? If so, I'm only giving it up if I can pass it to a trans woman, because trans women are women. Those straights are not right. Keep up the awesome videos, @Jammidodger! Love your channel!
The LGBT community wouldn't exist without the T. We wouldn't have pride and gay marriage would probably still be illegal if it wasn't for the efforts of trans people in the movement. So yeah we all need to work together.
That’s such a lie. Marsha Johnson wasn’t even trans, he was a self admitted drag queen. When you engage in historical revisionism like this you give justification to acts like the club q shooting.
And yet the LGBQ portion threw trans people under the bus for concessions in negotiating with representatives to get rights bills passed. Just wondering when they're going to set the record straight, step up and do the right thing by the trans community. Trans equality now!
That last one is absolutely wild to me, if you can somehow pull off pretending to be a surrogate to full term and get away with it I think you deserve to
I guess some aspects of transition could be affected by the placebo effect but definitely not all and not the most obvious ones. Like I could imagine someone subconsciously changing their voice a little because of a placebo, but you're definitely not going to grow a beard because of it lol.
@@barrylangille3523 could a nocebo effect happen? the way Zinnia Jones writes about depersonalization disorders and indirect gender dysphoria kind of sounds like someone with an type of understanding the world could go "oh yeah I guess I'm trans?" like a 12 year old with a personality test telling them they are autistic with HPD and thinking that is a diagnosis.
Watching this while waiting for my peer review group to send their peer review forms on my essay abt queer representation so I can hand it in on time. You always cheer me up!
@@ConstantChaos1 I just think your ideology is hilarious. Now you can be "cis" if you're intersex and NB. But NB is a type of transgender, I'm told by your ideology, one of the 90 genders... so how are you trans and cis?
@@johnc3525 I'm not, cisgender means identifying with your biological/ birth sex as your gender identity, for most people being NB would require being trans, but for those of us who's biological sex and gender are in agreement we are cis, in order for your gender identity to match your biological sex and be nb you would have to be intersex, which I am, im a mosaic chimera meaning some of my cells have different sex chromosomes than each other. On a genetic level I am not male or female and I don't identify as either instead my gender identity is the same as my biological sex, i.e. I'm nb and I'm cis, I was AMAB but that doesn't accurately reflect my genetic makeup so it is still cis to be intersex in my case
@@ConstantChaos1 Yeah, I get what you're saying, you're right. Trans NB are trans because they were born male or female, but you were not. Do you think you were always NB or did you have a male or female identity at some point? Do you think you are NB because you are aware of your biological make up? Suppose you lived all your life alone in an island, would you feel NB?
love the videos. regarding the "inject trans people with the 'correct' (same as their sex) hormones to make them cis" wouldnt it just. cause them even more problems. not even because of the dysphoria but because having TOO MUCH of a hormone is harmful for anyone??? anyway, ive started HRT the last days of december 2022! im so happy even with the little progress that i can notice, almost three weeks after the first dosis of testosterone. its been a long journey but im more relaxed now that i know there's gonna be even more physical changes this year :) i have hope for all of us. sending love and support to every trans person out there, you are not alone ♡
Also, that was in the context of three-year olds. Injecting a three-year-old with a bunch of testosterone would cause them to go through puberty at age three. (It should be immediately apparent why this is a bad thing, but if it's not, look up stories about precocious puberty.)
@@electronics-girl oh yeah i absolutely forgot it was about three year olds. that would suck. i get an idea on why it can be pretty crap but im gonna look into it, ty for the info :)
Some of those comments remind me of things my brother said to me. We had a very heated, and kind of touchy, talk the other night about the community. I'm afab but I prefer they/them pronouns, been experimenting with a different name, I'm asexual and gay and I'm not fully out to my family. My brother knows partly about my journey, mostly that I don't fully identify with my gender assigned at birth. Though, he has admitted that it would be very hard for him to use different pronouns for me because he's so used to using she/her his whole life and has said it's not a good idea for me to get top surgery (which is something I've wanted for a long time). He says it's not easier being a boy and he doesn't see the point in they/them pronouns for one person. (BTW, he is 23 and I'm 27) I support the community, and have been for years, but he has a hard time with it. Mainly the trans and drag queen part. (mini side note, he voted for trump both times and we have two family members that are gay) He has had friends that are gay or bi. He thinks the drag queens are only sexualized, from his research, and are sexualizing children. He has claimed there are videos of drag queens sexualizing children. So, the drag queens doing story time or have a fun event for kids is something he doesn't agree with. He thinks that children should not listen to anything drag queens say or be near them at all. That they are a bad influence. He also told me that giving puberty blocker and giving any surgery (top or bottom) is wrong, especially on children. He believes they are giving them all that at a young age and the blockers are destroying children's bodies. He says, because he has anorexia, which he has had it for a while, he should be able go to therapists and doctor and say he needs surgery to remove fat tissue from his body because he feels uncomfortable with how he looks, (even though he is at a healthy weight) but trans youth are able to go and the doctors and therapist and the youth would be approved and given it without question. He has a hard time seeing the difference. I tried to explain that it takes years before they are given any of it, that they have to be at least 18 years old before considered for surgery and more than 90% are happy they transitioned. He argues back with "what about the ones who regret it. They are being silent about their regrets." And that doctors say yes to all of these surgeries only for the money, not for the well being of the patient. One more part I'll mention is that he says that people who suffer from body dysphoria have a mental illness and should not be given so much credit and attention. Like on the news and social media. He says the they are given a special cookie and have to treated differently from everyone else because of the illness. Because I support the community, want to see everyone be healthy and happy, and I own things that show my support like pins, flags and a pride calander, he feels I would die for the community but wouldn't do the same for him. That hurt a lot because I love him, even though we don't see eye to eye all the time. We have been through a lot together, even when I protected him when we were younger. I'm sorry for such a long comment. This happen at the beginning of the month, and new year, and it has been on my mind since. Some of what those comments from the video have said reminded me of him. I've wanted to give up on my journey of self discovery because of what he said, that talk made me feel and comments like those. I just wanted to share some of the similar things I've heard and wanted to get it off my chest. I'm sorry if what he said makes you feel uncomfortable or mad. Honestly, I just want people to be happy and to be who they know they are. I hope you have a nice day.
I hope your brother can some day accept you as who your are. Don't give up you are an amazing human being and i wish for you to be able to be yourself❤️
If your brother is so worried about the sexualization of children by drag queens, I'd be curious about his opinion of beauty pageants for little girls put on by straight "normal"adults.
@Casocki Yes it can be used in description of animal traits like size or color but typically when we talk of animals we talk genotypes (yes I know phenotypes are a sub category of genotype)' it's not so common though so still odd.
@@TheObserver3 No, that's not what those words mean at all. Phenotype is *not* a subtype of genotype. Phenotype is the observed features, genotype is the genes. For example, with biological sex, genotype is what sex chromosomes you have and which sex-related genes they have, whereas phenotype is what sexually dimorphic bodily features they have.
@@TheObserver3 they are different things. If you take a look at one gene that has a dominant version (A) and a recessive version (a), someone can have the genotype AA, Aa or aa. AA and Aa would result in them having the same phenotype, namely whatever the dominant gene version is, while aa would mean that they have the phenotype of the recessive gene version. Genotype is what genetics you have, phenotype is the expression of those genetics. Both are in use for reference to humans and other animals and I would assume that both are also used to refer to plants, but I know less about specific terminology for plant biology.
These videos make me feel like I've wound up on R/Facepalm. It still amazes me to the day how stupid people can be. And every time I think I've seen the worst of it, I get proved wrong.
