I really want to know if the egg can stick to some shirt materials, for example could you nest it sticking out of the top of a flannel shirt pocket, and it would hold itself up in the position you stuck it? That would be so cute! I imagine it would be safer to safety pin it in place, though- just as cute but far less likely to lose it.
I am a hotel front desk agent. What happened to Sasha is UNACCEPTABLE. The SOP is to ask the room number and the name on the reservation. If they can give you both pieces of information, you apologize and re-do the key. The magnetics in the hotel keys are infamous for needing to be redone constantly. I am so glad I work at a hotel that is inclusive and has great staff. On a more positive story to share- I checked 2 older gentlemen into the hotel yesterday. I thanked him for being a rewards member and if they would both like a complimentary bottle of water. His partner looked at him and was like, "You never told me you were a rewards member before we got married?!?!?" and I said, "yeah the perks you find out after you get married am I right." They were both laughing and they went down the hallway and attempted to get into the elevator for a ground floor room....and all I heard was ..."what room do we have?"- "Oh, I don't know..." I told them their room was to the right on the ground floor. His partner just said..."no, no. You should have let him get in the elevator. It would have been funny when the doors closed and I held the room number up to him." They were so funny and adorable. Edit: Ya'll so wholesome in this community right here! Proud of all of you.
@@luckyslearning7086 I know right!! They were so wholesome. I am always so happy for those relationships were you can see they are also best friends and are in love.

Sasha in America is generally pretty often seen as feminine, but it is definitely a gender neutral name. Funnily enough, in Germany, it's considered a very masculine name. Funny how that stuff changes depending on the country?
I’ve also found (I don’t know how accurate this is though) but I’ve seen it used more femininely when the a is pronounced like in cat and more masculine when pronounced arr Idk though, just from people I know/ have seen
Realized I was non binary last summer and chose to cut off all my hair. My mother kept protesting because she claimed it would "make me look like a boy" and only ended up agreeing to take me because I said I would donate it. She was the first person to tell me how much she liked my short hair. In short, people don't know what they're talking about with stupid gender stereotypes. Just do what you want.
Completely unrelated to the why but I really don’t get why people are so invested in others hair… it grows back. I’m not saying you don’t rock short hair, I’m sure you do, but it’s the easiest thing to change and change back all it takes is time.
Getting that first haircut is such a great feeling! As I'm genderfluid I was a bit worried about how it might make me feel on my fem days, but I look just as awesome with short hair when I'm fem as when I'm NB!
Ah, I had a similar experience except I'm an adult and went and got my hair cut myself, and my mom's first words were "It's too short but it's your hair." She's a Boomer and while she's not a bigot per se, she pulled one of those, "If you want me to change your pronouns I will but you'll always be my baby girl" things on me. Sorry, I ranted a bit because that second one still makes me mad.
My hair went from very long to very short and back again multiple times during my life so far. One of the few things my mom did right was to respect my decisions when it came to this sort of stuff. I always wanted super long hair, but every time I suddenly got incredibly stressed, grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off like 30-50 cm (depending how long my hair was at the point) Now I've kept it at chin-length for almost a year and I'm still happy with it. If there is a length/style someone is most comfortable with, that's their decision and absolutely no one has a right to interfere. As long as you aren't hurting anyone you should be able to be true to yourself.
Sasha is definitely a gender-neutral name, although it's more commonly used for males in Russia. Fun fact: the Animal Crossing community learned this the hard way when Nintendo added an adorable bunny rabbit with big eyes and eyelashes named Sasha, and then Sasha's bio was all "HE likes hanging out in HIS room" and he had one of the male personality types 😂 and that's how we learned that Sasha is also a boy's name and that gender identity =/= gender expression!
I 100% understand the name deal. I'm European but currently living in America. My name is Florence, a VERY masculine name in most of Europe, but in America it's a ladies name.

@katbairwell no see. This is the Trans Mission. Cus that's more fun. The agenda is the made up thing the mean crazy people keep goin on about. Also, have a wonderful day, you're amazing!
It will never cease to amaze me seeing trans people’s before and after photos. There’s always a night and day difference in happiness and confidence. I will never understand how transphobes can look at the pure joy transitioning brings to people and still think it’s “wrong”
Even looking at my own photos from before I started the deadness behind my eyes is apparent. There's a look of "How much longer can you really pull this off?" in all of them, ranging from a resigned Cioranesque "c'est la vie" to a silent screaming depending on which of the rare pictures I allowed to be taken that I've kept. My final photo, taken right before I took my first dose of HRT, feels surreal to me because I know that was me at some point but I don't relate to that person at all. He looks so frightened, so insecure, so deeply and inherently sad: you can feel a tragedy radiating from his bones. I'm glad that I'm done with him.
@tjenadonn6158 I'm glad you're done with him too! I have had the indescribable pleasure of watching my daughter become a joyful person after starting her HRT. It was like becoming a new mom all over again. I'm so happy for you and your transition!!
Sasha is a weird name. There's parts of the world where it's aggressively male (short for Alexander), parts of the world where it's aggressively female (version of Sarah) and parts where it's both. Whenever any geological Sasha region crosses, chaos ensues.
Sasha is never a version of Sarah! When it's feminine it's a diminutive of Alexandra (female version of Alexander) and its mor3 commonly viewed as feminine in english-speaking countries.
@@trevorchester4439What's there to cope with about being super hot and attractive to everyone, including people who allegedly think you're disgusting? Humans see being attractive as a good thing. Is that simple enough for the conservative to understand? It will answer either yes or no.
@@Kira-zm7vyBefore I came out of the closet for the first time as a gay man I had a devastatingly consistent tendency for crushing on girls who turned out to be lesbians: Weezer's "Pink Triangle" was one of my first angst anthems (Cringeasaurus rex, I know.) Now it turns out I was the lesbian all along.
@@tjenadonn6158very interesting...I never came out as gay but I've noticed that there is some new found attraction towards men. It's totally not new though 😂. I think I'm just allowing myself to feel that attraction for the first time. The feeling I get when I look at an attractive woman is usually one of envy. I've never been envious of a man.
That first TikTok 0:01 was made by my partner!! ❤️ Thank you for reacting to their content! It means so much coming from such an amazing creator like you! ✨🫶🏼
I had the internal battle this morning but only grabbed the women's jeans because I have apparently shrunken to the point where all my normal jeans fall right off. I'm in the middle of cleaning out my old apartment, and I found my belt as soon as I got here. 😂
@@TheoRae8289dude i have the opposite problem as a (fat) transmasc, i have to get certian brands/types of mens pants or else i cant fit them past my thunder thighs 😅 once i get em past that point they usually fit, but damn these manufacturers think all men are built like 2 by 4's....
I relate so badly at the hair cutting tiktok As a child I was soooo afraid of hairdressers (due to sensory issues not being catered to in such environments) I had extremely long hair and I hated it because dysphoria When I finally decided to cut it all off I had so many people telling me I was going to regret it. I had one person who was actively disgusted that I'd cut off all my hair I don't regret my choice I love my short hair
This! I had long hair all my childhood for the exact same reason, and when I got a haircut (at that point I knew I'm trans, but I wasn't out yet) everyone was so surprised since I always refused to get haircuts as a kid. Then when I came out back in July of this year it all made sense to them lol
As someone who is a intersex and is all genders plus no gender, its so beautiful to see different LGBTQIA+ people and their lives. Its like seeing different versions of me getting along, having their own lives and experiences and general happiness. I really wanting to say its what i need and live for ❤❤ it gives me so much joy and i want that for all of you. If you feel like no one in this world loves you or wants you here, i want to let you know i want you here please. You're such beautiful people and the world needs you. I NEED YOU and i hope my words and this video will make you see that 🥰
Back at you! This is so well said. Thank you for being a spark of positivity and hope in a world that seems set on being dark. Keep it up. Small sparks statt big fires. I appreciate you and am proud of you.
i always wonder how often people think you mean that you're nonbinary or something like that when you say that. i know people absolutely dont realize how many chromosome possibilities there are and that you can even be born sorta in-between
I'm a cis-woman. For the past two yesrs I've buzzed my hair down to two milimeters on the regular. Right now I have about 1,5 cm. I've rarely gotten so many compliments from all genders. I HATE the fem/masc stereotypes. I never feel as feminine and cute, as with short hair. Snd this is coming from a women with big, thick, curly and course hair.
As a cis man with very long hair (it's to the bottom of my back) I find it hilarious when straight men hit on me from the back then I turn around with my chin strap beard and bass voice, then *THEY* get mad they hit on me! 🤣
For most of my life I had my hair waist length or longer because I like long hair. Last year I was tired of taking care of my hair and was too hot so I decided I was ready to try a short haircut. Now I don't know if I'll ever grow it out again. It's so nice not having to brush my hair ever and having my hair dry very fast after I wash it.
I'm a cisgender woman and have a gender neutral name and frequently companies will call asking to speak to "Mr ... " I think it happens a lot regardless of your gender or wether you are trans or cis. But I can only imagine that it must feel that much more uncomfortable for many trans people. Makes me mad as hell when I hear adults telling children in shops to "PUT THAT BACK! That's for girls/boys" arrrrrggghh. My kid has been just given clothes and toys of any and all colours since she was born. I've seen parenting 2nd hand sales where the toys and clothes were separated into BOYS and GIRLS on separate tables. Each time I've seen this i've gotten mad enough to have the conversation with the person/charity running the sales about why gendering toys and clothes for kids is not ok. It's never ok. Roll on the day when shops stop doing this too!
Yep, like clothes are clothes and toys are toys. I had to help out at my parents church thrift sale once (couldn't get out of it) and got left in charge of organizing the clothes section. So I organized it in a logical manner, by rough size and category of clothing. Baby/toddler stuff (there wasn't enough to need to separate it further), and then kids and adults each by shirts, pants, outerwear, and other. A few people grumbled and I was like "IDC, you couldn't tell half the stuff apart anyway, a hoodie is a hoodie, if you wanna change it go for it". They didn't and no one had any issues finding the right table for what they were looking for.
Well, in case part of that indecisiveness includes not knowing if you are amazing or awesome, want to let ya know you're both. Keep being you gorgeous!
one of the kids (5 years old) at a summer camp i was working at over the summer saw me in the girls bathroom and was like "you can't come in here!" and I was like, "Why not?" and she goes "You're a boy! You have to go in the boy room!" As a FTM person not out in that space, it meant a lot to me :)
"Sasha" is a perfectly acceptable Russian diminutive for Alexander, but can also be used as a girl's name. I see it like Lee or Jordan...very adaptable and gender-neutral.
@@PeacheIIei can't tell whether youre saying it is masculine or feminine because it is gender neutral i have family and friends of both genders named lee
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 I imagine it's kind of dependent on where you're from. It _is_ a gender-neutral name, but in some places, it's more commonly seen as masculine unless part of a compound name like Lee-Anne.
@@socialistrepublicofvietnam1500 Actually, weirdly, according to what I've found, Sasha is in fact unisex in Russia (for both Alexander and Alexandra), but specifically masculine in French (Sacha). But yeah...in America for instance, you're more likely to find guys (particularly in the South) named Lee. It's often part of compound names (like Lee-Anne) when feminine, or a middle name/second name (Roberta Lee), but seldom the whole name unless you're a guy.
as a transmasc, i love watching these videos they honestly give me such gender euphoria even tho ive been going through dysphoria for such a long time, this still gives me hope to keep going and just having to patiently wait till i can start t and get top surgery
That you find delight in the joy of others, despite your own struggles, is a testament to your compassion, and humanity. I hope that your way forward comes soon, you deserve to have that euphoria for yourself. You are awesome, sending so much love, and big hugs (if you want them)
My parents didn’t mind when I wanted to cut my hair, but I’ve been out as nonbinary for almost a year now, and they refuse to use my pronouns and are trying to bribe me into shaving my leg hair. Most recently, they tried to get me to do it by letting me color my hair any one color, which was tempting. I decided that I’d rather keep my bodily autonomy and make my own decisions (and if I want to color my hair, I have a job and can pay for it myself).
My mom's only problem with me cutting my hair short was that she cuts my hair (she used to be a professional hair stylist so now she dose mine) and short hair has to be cut more often and she really didn't want to deal with that so insted of saying "Oh you'll look like a boy" she said "You'll have to get a haircut every few months and you won't want to do that!" (It was reverse psychology she didn't want to cut my hair that often lol) Jokes on her I had it that short for YEARS. 😊
@teazen_tea me currently growing out my undercut cus I'm too lazy to get it done that often and it annoys me (trying to get it to wold cut ish length, look up albedo from genshin and that's kinda what I aiming for)
I'm sorry to hear you parents are being...problematic. Hopefully, they will grow and learn. If not, remember that friends are the family you choose. And I am sure you can make a lot of supportive friends if you haven't already. Stay strong. If you haven't heard yet, today. You are amazing, and I am proud of you.
To trans masc people out there who have or will experience a top surgery reveal that feels traumatic, it's okay. We see the videos where the chests look great, huge smiles, tears of joy. And that's lovely. But it is not everyone's experience. I had my reveal and honestly felt nauseated and this feeling of, "Oh shit. Have I made a horrible mistake?!?" I told myself, give it a month. Don't panic, look as little as possible, and maybe it will be alright. And of course it was. Beyond the physical aspect of bruises, swelling, open incisions, and let's just say scary looking nipples, there is a huge jolt to the brain. You've lost body parts. It's going to take your mind some time to adjust. I'm two years out from top surgery and have gone from the immediate, "Oh shit" to "Da-amn I love my chest!" I love the look, I love the acars, I love how _me_ it is. -1000 regret. TL;DR If you don't have the happy Tiktok worthy top surgery reveal, don't panic. Give your chest and your brain some time to heal. You _will_ get to a point of self chest love. The odds are massively in your favour on this.
I am so glad that I'm not particularly squeamish about body horror, so I shouldn't be too bummed out if it doesn't look right immediately. Honestly I've got so many puckered scars at this point inshould be used to it by now. 😮💨 I just have to learn to not be terrified of people long enough to have support post-op 😅
I know you said pud is only available for 3 weeks but you should definitely release it again for easter next year..people can just say its holding an easter egg if they don't feel safe coming out. Actually releasing them on easter opens up the opportunity to make more with other lgbt flag eggs while hiding under the disguise of holiday decor so as not to raise suspicion from unaccepting people
I used to work in a bakery and occasionally we'd have cakes that were blue or pink. I *always* asked them (or the kid if they were there) which colour they wanted, and when they'd say 'it's for a boy.' I'd pretend I had no idea what that was meant to imply. My cousin once refused to eat a strawberry cupcake because 'I can't have that, because it's for girls' even though he'd just told me it was his favourite flavour. Let the kids eat cake.
I am non-binary and keeping my gender neutral birth name. No, I never thought about changing it. If I had that hotel experience I would be hit with waves of disphoria no doubt. Sasha has every right to keep his name and have people respect his pronouns.
As a 14 year old trans femme myself, I can say honestly that it disgusts me how people behave in regards to people like us. I am lucky in the sense that none of my friends and next to none of my family are transphobic -- everyone accepts me for who I am, and either help, or are like "Okay, cool." and get on with their business. This is truly a sign that things are getting better for us; we will finally be able to be who we really are! Keep going, if you're at rock bottom, remember: the only way is up!
You have wisdom beyond your years. I'm the mamma of a trans girl so we see those struggles too. I'm so happy for you that you see surrounded with mostly goodness and acceptance! 💖
I work on a horse farm and one student a couple years ago double-checked with me that her male pony’s pronouns were, in fact, he/him. I told her he hasn’t told us otherwise.
Sitting here, 4 weeks after bottom surgery (im transfem), loving all the trans joy 😊 Sorry transphobes, you can't touch our glory, we shine bright while you languish in your hate cave 🤘
That's awesome, congratulations! Don't listen to the transphobes, their brains just can't comprehend anything outside of the narrow norms they haven created for themselves
I *adore* when trans fam share their favourite photos. I am a disabled person who has all sorts of complex emotions surround my body, bodily autonomy, the expectations - even demands - of others, most of which science isn't equipped to ameliorate. I don't know if this informs my love of trans joy, but I love it so much, seeing people find comfort and joy in their own skin, is a beautiful, powerful, life-affirming thing. There's a lot of shared love, and mutual support, between the trans and disabled communities, in part - I believe - because society treats us all as though we are broken, incomplete humans who do not fit into the pattern. We are not broken, if society does not encompass all the different ways to be human, then it is society that is broken. Anyway, I started talking about a nice thing, and got ranty and weird - again. There are few things that bring me as much wholehearted joy, as seeing my trans siblings shining with happiness. If anyone reading this is struggling with their body relationship, I am sending you so much love, and hopes that you find a way through to your own shining happiness, whatever that is for you. Love and solidarity
Thank you so much for your post 🧡 I am trans nonbinary, and experience chronic illness(es) and disability (i.e. ableism). I've been through so many extremes with my appearance, my weight, stamina, my muscle strength, how my body feels to move, what it feels like to live inside my body and my head, my ability to maintain my own standards of hygiene much less grooming, how I feel when I look in the mirror. It's a rollercoaster of dysphoria. I don't hear *body dysphoria* discussed as much in regards to illness/disability as to gender, except maybe in the context of disordered eating. I really appreciate you bringing light to this. 🙏 And yes, disability isn't something we are, it's something we experience in a society that doesn't bother itself with meeting our basic needs.
@@danakchampion Oh, dear friend, you have to endure so much! I recognise so much of what you say, to have gender dysphoria to contend with also must require tremendous strength of will. Life should not require us to be brave, in every moment, but you have had to be, and you are. Bless you, dear friend, and thank you for reaching out, it means so much to me that you would share your experience. I am so very proud of you, and I love you.
As a trans guy that was so proud of my waist-long hair, it was so weird to cut it so short for the first time, and I still miss it, now I know it was more to be socially affirming than to ease dysphoria since I'm growing it back out and I do so much to express myself with it I don't mind it being long bc it doesn't change who I am, but I love seeing people's faces when they get a new and better haircut, that joy is overwhelming and wonderful
Thank you for sharing your story. Hair seems to be such an important part to so many in the community and I get it. Glad you are able to go back to having your hair at the length you want without it getting in the way of expressing yourself the way you want. Keep being amazing! You're beautiful and I am proud of you.
OK, last one, I promise. I would love someone to create a book of names, where it collects lots of stories from trans and non-binary folx, talking about their relationship with (first) names and how they came to have the name they do. It feels like such a very intimate, and powerful thing, and I've heard some wonderful stories of the process of choosing a name, be it choosing a new one, or choosing to keep one. I don't know, it feels like one of those "getting to the heart of the human experience" type things.
These videos make my nonbinary heart so happy, especially top surgery reveals. 🥺 Edit: I have a hair story! I had hair down to my butt from when I was little but, at 19, I chopped it to shoulder length then cut it to a more masculine style later on. It was the best decision of my life.
I had my hair the same lenght that i decided to cut at 18... I've been happy like sometimes, some months it was great. Now they're back at the lenght 😂 but im still a proud non-binary boy ✨ it's cool to see so multiple possibilities and that everyone is valid !
There's a bunny villager in Animal Crossing called Sasha and he's a boy so I'd say it works for anyone who likes the name and chooses it for themselves. 😊 Meanwhile I named myself after a car part unknowingly(I'm called Axle). I just thought that spelling looked better and didn't realize it was a car part. I will never stop clowning myself for that bc it is pretty funny.
for the final one: often if you dye an area where hair is shorter or thinner the skin underneath will get dyed too, but it will only last a day or two then it will go back to normal and the hair will stay dyed
Unrelated, but I just got told that by me openly supporting someone who is in the process of transitioning, I must also congratulate somebody who suffers from anorexia for losing weight. I may have lost my ever-loving collectible s***. So thank you Jamie for doing what you're doing, and making the videos that you do, because honestly I was in full wrap mode for like 5 minutes and then I realized you made a video and I was able to cool down and watch a video by somebody who actually knows what the f*** they're talking about. So I appreciate you thank you.
Ugh. I hate it when they say "Why don't you treat being trans the same way as ?" Well, because clinical data has shown that the treatment that leads to the best outcomes are different for these two different things. But they want to think that whatever they can imagine in their armchair in a couple of minutes is somehow better than research done by generations of doctors and scientists.
My best friend overwhelmed me with questions yesterday... it was reafirming. She said: Your nephew doesn't understand their own identity, but that doesn't give anyone the right to make them unconfortable, so I need yo understand. Kids deserve to be respected and I want to give them that... heart warming. I won't forget it
Sasha is one of those names that varies a lot by country. As an American who's been to Russia, I'd say it's considered more of a feminine name in the U.S. but in Russia (30 years ago or so) about half the men were named Alexander and called Sasha.
Hwres some trans positivy for you all. Ive been taking estrogen for about 6 months now and if im doing the measurments correctly, I currently have B cups! Had to share it somewhere! So excited to see where thia takes me!
Congratulations!! I'll never forget the day my daughter, after having been on HRT for about three months, came running out of the bathroom shouting "Mom!! Mom!! My boobs are coming in!!" I'm so happy for you!!!!
@hellokristi That's awesome! Wish I had that kind of support when I was younger. But then it wasn't really an option for me back then. I've read that many trans women don't get above A cups, so this is very exciting. Especially starting late in life. I didn't think I'd see any results!
@Stopsins why do you do this? Your mental health is worrisome. I hope you can go get the help you need so you can be less intolerant and hateful. Please be kind to yourself and others.
@hellokristi try to not let it bother you. I've seen this pop up a lot in the comments today. Pretty sure they just copy paste because hate is hallow and lazy. Where as our love is vast and unique to each person we reach out to.
Lol. Poor Sasha. As a person whose mum gave all her children gender neutral names (love her, but mine also seems to confuse people in particular 😅) I feel that.
Fun fact: In the south eastern U.S. there is a tradition of naming boys Shelby. And then they get misgendered over the phone or via mail all the time, just because people are like "but that's a girls name" and the guys named that be like "Apparently not mother F*er". It's hilarious yet frustrating how people just gender names when it's literally a made up word like LMAO
My mom always told me that i shouldn't let others dictate who i am and that being different from the norm is not bad. But threw a fit when i came out as trans femme to her. She litterally asked me why she couldn't have a normal kid (both me and my sister have autism, i have also adhd) all those years of telling me i don't have to fit in only to complain about not have a child who fits in.
Thank you for the good vibes ! I am pretty close to top surgery and feel more and more anxious about it. Your video made me forget this anxiety for a short amount of time.
@@alex_runarin When I was first transitioning, I got some really cheap (in both price and quality) skirts and dresses from Amazon, and they had pockets. These days, I pretty much buy all of my dresses from eShakti. All of their dresses have pockets. (Actually, it's an option, and you can choose them with or without pockets, but the default is to have pockets.)
HEY HI HELLO OK SO my first name is Dylan, which to most people reads masculine. As a little kid, I leaned into the whole "girly" thing to reinforce to adults that yes, I'm a girl, yes, my name is Dylan, no, my parents weren't expecting a boy, yes, they chose Dylan specifically for a girl. I ID as agender now, and absolutely love my name, but it drove me up the wall as a kid. I have been feeling Sasha's frustration MY WHOLE LIFE, I so get it. (Side note, I'd already come around to loving my name a while ago, but there was still that little bit of ick associated with it in my mind, until I found out about Dylan Mulvaney. Something about a trans woman choosing the name Dylan for herself just absolutely destroyed that last little bit of ick surrounding my name.)
@@TheoRae8289 I am, too! It's kind of fun now to think about how different I would be if I had a different name and didn't have that on my mind all the time as a kid.
From a mom perspective, maybe your parents always knew. From the time my kiddo was born, literally right away, I always knew she was not your average cis/het boy but did not know exactly how that would shake out, so when she came out to me as trans I barely blinked an eye. I'd like to think that your parents had a glimpse into the future that Dylan would suit you well. I wish you the best!!
I don't know anything else about him but Sasha has a really cool song as a rebutal to the "if archeologist find your bones they'd say you were a girl" bs. It made me emotional.
*Good news comment alert!!* My friend has been struggling to transition due to an awful trapped-at-home situation but they've been doing what they can for years. Just recently we finally had a call and they were able to use their new voice! It was sweet and so pretty, we went right into some Real Girl Talk. I'm so proud of them for their accomplishment! 🎉😊😊😊🎉
Ive been really struggling with dysphoria lately, especially being in Tennessee where hrt for youth is illegal now. Your videos help me feel a little better about my situation and gives me hope.
This is sort of off topic for the video, but it popped in my head during the video of the trans woman who was all "I've always been a woman, transitioning saved my life." The actor they cast for Coby in the live action One Piece show is a trans man!
@@ShinTriAceBow ties are sooooo cool! I have a collection. Unfortunately, I don't really wear collared shirts in my day to day. 😢 My poor, neglected tie collection. 😫
My name is noun- it's a very nice noun, but slightly girly. I transitioned and kept it. I've been fighting for my weirdass name my whole life! I'm not about to stop just because Karen gets confused. That being said, there are days I wish I was just Tyler....
I considered keeping my dead name as my middle name (would be like Richard Gere's) but deep down I knew anyone who learned it would only call me that and I didn't want to end up hurting someone 😅
@@TheoRae8289I'm keeping my dead name as a middle name too but adding it alongside my original middle name (so I have 2 middle names) cus my dead name was the name of my grandma.

(Also my original initials spelled Gay and its too good to change, this way I can add my chosen name infront and become AGAY)
I'm not visibly trans to most people, but yesterday I went out in a sweatshirt that says "SUPER QUEER" in huge letters and rainbow pins on my rainbow bag. Normally I wouldn't feel comfortable being that overt to do regular shopping but I just forgot I decided to dress extra that day. The number of old ladies who went out of their way to be super nice to me and chat with me and compliment me was extremely chill and affirming. I have had some issues with people being aggressive towards me when I'm wearing way less queer gear, so this was a nice reminder that a lot of people aren't garbage people and want to be kind and normal.
I am questioning whether I am non binary or genderqueer atm, and this year I cut my hair, and let me tell you it is the best choice I ever made. I have always had really long hair. I cut it to a shoulder length bob once and even donated my hair to a charity, but it kept growing back longer and longer. I have never been a "girly girl" and wanted to do anything with my hair really. In fact I used to really struggle with keeping my hair nice and self-hygiene because of mental health issues and lack of motivation. I had been telling my mam for a good few months that I wanted it cut really short into a cool style and when the day came I was shitting bricks. I was excited, of course, but anxious in case I regretted it and have to wait for it to grow back again. I have to warn you that the first few days of having your hair cut short is quite dreadful, especially if you have long hair. It looks really odd and alien at first and I had to hold in my tears because I thought I looked like a karen, but a few days later I bought some hair bananas to keep my hair back and I really started to like it, and now that it has grown into itself a little bit, it really suits me. Moral of the story, don't knock it till you try it, a big change will always be a shock at first but you don't know until you try if it will grow on you or not! Love you guys!
@@hellokristi Thank you! It's always been really confusing, so hopefully I'm getting there! Either way, finding a title isn't the most important thing, the most important thing is being healthy and happy. Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
I needed this today, I’ve started a new job in which most of my coworkers are very extremely conservative christians, so I’ve had to go by my dead name and the wrong pronouns for safety. I’ve been socially transitioned for YEARS and it’s so jarring to hear the wrong name, let alone constantly being called a she. I really, really wish it was safer to medically transition in my very red state. But it’s just. It makes me feel safer to be able to go undercover and in the closet, even now. One day I’ll start on T. I have time. It’s never too late, after all. For now. I’ll live the best I can. I am me, and everyone being wrong constantly will NOT change that. And you know what? At this point it makes me feel like I go to work in drag. I am a drag queen in essence, I play a feminine character. It makes me happy when I think about it like that. I love myself and I love who I used to be too. I just learned more about me over the years. Who I was then and who I am now do not coexist, but they did lay the groundwork for building a convincing show off of.
11:51 Trans woman here, I remember a little after coming out to my grandma we talked a while about it. I mentioned that I was still only interested in dating women and not men and she was confused as to why I would transition if I didn't want to date men. She has been extremely supportive and this wasn't meant as a rude comment. I thought it was kind of funny and I think just reveals some generational differences
Coming from watching Noahfinnce's cover video to watch this video - I couldn't have guessed how much these improved my evening but both videos do sooooo much improve day...I manifest nice nightly dreams after this, based on the peace this gives me :)
@@Riordanverse39 Stayed up longer than expected, therefore I am watching both videos another time (for good sleeping vibes). Is it night for you as well??? If so, hope you are having a nice night with some good rest :)
I'm a trans dude. The name I chose for myself is a pet name of my deadname and I love that it's gender neutral even though I'm mostly masculine presenting. I've had several occasions where people were in ear shot discussing what gender I might be and being confused the whole time. It was so funny.
I was born AFAB, I’m a guy though. My birth name was about as neutral as the name Sam, so I chose to keep it. I’ve never regretted that choice for a moment. I will always be the most supportive person of anyone who wants to change their name, but for me personally it would have been quite difficult
Lemme give you a tip, Sasha. So it's a very VERY common name in some Slavic regions and its typically a VERY MUCH unisex name, BUT if y'all want to know, there is more 'masc' version of Sasha - Sanya. It's basically the same name but a cute little nickname, literally every bruttal man i know called SANYA or SANYOK same thing
Im german and if I saw the name Sanya written somewhere I’d assume it’s a female name 😅 but I always try to google names I’m not familiar with before interacting with the person
For what I know Sasha is a shorter version of both Aleksandr and Aleksandra (the origin is Russian, and I don't know how to write it). In a book I've read that most of Russian short names are gender neutral, so you just cannot assume that a person is female just because their name ends with -a!!! 😖
Oh, I'm always getting trans-friendly shorts. But I've noticed that the majority of comments on trans shorts tend to be transphobic. (Long videos get transphobic comments, too, but usually a smaller percentage.)
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your youtube channel! I'm starting T in two days and getting top surgery in four months and I definitely wouldn't have gotten here without your videos. When I came out to my parents and they wanted to learn more yours were the first videos I sent them. It's because of you and the youtube trans community that I was able to find myself and come out to everyone I love. So thank you
Jamie I just wanted to thank you for being willing to be open about who you are on social media. I found you almost 2 years ago after learning I was aroace and you've helped me become a better person. Recently you did a video where you talked about how you struggled with accepting that you were bi because of bully in highschool, well very recently I've noticed some things about myself and the realized that I'm a homoromantic asexual. I'm still working up the courage to tell my family as they didn't take the aroace revelation very well and I'm afraid that I'll never be accepted as a lesbian by my very religious mother. But you, the Click, and OneTopic have helped me so much and I'm going to start dating soon. Thank you for all the support you give the LGBTQIA
Anyone needing a little validation for names like Sasha, My dad's name is Shannon, He is AMAB and cis. Also Misha Collins from Supernatural has a twin brother named Sasha!
Definitely second the "even cis people get misgendered based on their name". Even before i id'd as nonbinary, i would constantly get stuff in the mail or voicemails from doctors and shit for "Mr.[Name]".
there’s a pride parade near where i live happening on saturday, and i’ve managed to get my parents to think im hanging out with my friends, which means i can go!!! it’ll be my first pride parade ever, and i can’t wait for it!!! (im 15, and i’ve been questioning shit for about 3 years lol) just wanted to share because i’m super excited for it!!
I don't know if this will be useful to anyone but - My name is Sasha and it varies in assumption of gender when spoken with country/language (it's not exactly neutral, moreso its one or the other depending on where in the world you are), but a general rule when written in English-speaking countries it's usually female when spelt with an s 'Sasha' and male when spelt with a c 'Sacha'.
This was great!! I love your videos also these tiktoks be great. I cut my hair short Monday after it being literally down to my waist and it was the best moment as I'd been wanting to for so long ❤
I also kept my name when I transitioned. But for me it's backwards. I have a traditionally masculine name that is gender neutral-ish. So people got confused because of my name all the time. Then I came out as a trans man and transitioned. Now no one bats an eye at my name. My parents even joke that they may have gotten my gender wrong as a kid but they got my name right.
i used to always have long hair. it was long enough that i had to pull it over my shoulder to use the bathroom or else it would go in the toilet water. when i was 18 my mom finally let me cut my hair. unfortunately her and the hairdresser pressured me into getting it shoulder length instead of how i really wanted it cause "it would traumatize me" from cutting it all off in one go like that. nowadays i never let my hair get longer than the base of my neck cause it always feels so uncomfortable. short hair ftw
Basically how I am with my hair now. I'm so irritated that I can't get it cut right now. Ironically, though, my mother's obsession with my paternal uncle resulted in me having an accidental mullet in 5th grade. That was the first time a total stranger gendered me correctly (lady called me young man while asking directions), and despite not having the language for it, deep down I knew it was correct.
@@TheoRae8289 omg that reminds me of one time i went to the bathroom in a public washroom. an older lady looked at me so confused and asked why i was in the ladies room when i had come out of the stall. that made so so happy and still does to think about!
It sucks that you weren't supported by your mom! I can understand why an unfamiliar hairdresser would say that, I've seen more than a few people (kids & adults) absolutely loose their crap when getting long hair chopped. It's heartbreaking for the stylist to see them break down sobbing, so it is a common concern if the client is new. For anyone looking to hack that hair off, consider going to a good salon/barbershop and ask for a consultation then appointment. And if they don't listen to you, maybe try a different place. Hair is extremely personal & a good stylist will work with you, not against you.
Ivlove trans tiktok! The posts are either all about love, their journey, themselves/interests or educational/awareness. Its the comments that are sometimes vitriolic and horrible. The trans community is overall so accepting and loving and tired of bs excuses for pissy behavior. Love love love ❤
