My Photo Was Used to Promote Transphobia 

I don't know why anyone would say "transgender agenda" when they could say transgenda

Transphobes: iTs BaSiC BiOloGy Jammi: what about *advanced biology*

These ladies: Look at this "woman" she's so unhappy Jammi: Literally the happiest guy ever

So, they are using a topless photo made by someone they are claiming as a “woman” ....using his topless photo....

You know as a feminist, using someone's post-op pic without their consent & refusing to take it down is awfully anti-feminist of them

“The transphobe, the book, and the podcast... a horrible version of ‘The Lion, The Witch, and the wardrobe.’” I laughed for 5 full minutes at this. {hug}

"They want to make assigned sex as malleable as assigned names!" Man I wish that the legal name change process worked the way that cis people think it does. DXD

Jammie: Here's a pic of me after my harmless surgery that makes me feel so much happier about myself and i've never regretted it a day in my entire life Transphobes who think trans people regret getting surgery and want to stop them: *Hippty Hoppty this is now my property*

For feminist they sure do like using and objectifying this guy's body...

Transphobes think it makes perfect sense to claim these 'women' are abused and then steal his basically naked photos without his consent, which is abuse. edit: coming back to this comment 4 months from now, and man. i completely forgot about this situation. hope you're okay, jamie. also thanks for 6.2k likes? holy shit??

"These girls are in distress" but that is only because people like her call them "girls"

9:10 a slightly older tran here. transitioned back in 2009-2010. there was literally so little trans rep in the media that i had never even heard the word "transgender" or knew what it meant. i just knew that i was male and i took every opportunity to preface my relationships and friendships with that information, but no one ever took me seriously. they just assumed i meant i was a tomboy asking to be treated like one of the boys. before even seeing a therapist and getting a "diagnosis", i knew who i was and what i'd wanted for myself, i just didn't have the words or know the path. there are so few people out there who would be willing to transition when you can so easily just adjust your gender expression--wear less or more makeup, wear a wig or cut your hair, make changes to your wardrobe--and see how you feel about it. i've only met ONE person who detransitioned, and she insisted to me that she didn't regret transition and didn't want her story to be used in ways like this. She was like "hey, i thought i had it right, but i didn't, and i understood going in that there'd be consequences. i'm an adult and i made an informed decision based on the information provided to me by my therapists and doctors. just because it wasn't for me doesn't mean this isn't a vital process for others."

These people thinking their teenagers "suddenly" became trans and not that they were hiding it their whole lives and finally felt comfortable enough to come out..

Jamie Steals Transphobes Kneecaps, A Saga

I'm a cis teen girl in great "psychological distress" as I guess some might word it. And I honestly have a very low self esteem and I hate the way I look. However, I have never, NEVER considered "becoming trans" or transitioning to become a male. Why? Because that's not a thing! Trans people are real. Its not a trend. Its not teen girls being confused and looking for a magical solution. It is simply Trans people existing. And that's all there is to it. I give my love to every single Trans person that may read this. You are valid and so so loved

Quote on ad: there’s no long term proof that people are actually happy after transitioning Jammi: is literal proof of a happy trans person

One of the worst parts of this book is how, because of the methodology and lack of reliable sources, it wouldn't even get a passing grade in a high school setting 🙄🙄🙄

I don’t know why but the way he says transgender agenda is just so satisfying to me😂

Transphobes seeing a man living their best life: kalm Transphobes seeing the trans flag on their backpack: PANICK It really shouldn’t affect you so much, cis-

(New coming out/news down by edit) I'm a trans man, and when I did come out to my mum and my sister, my mum kept on crying every night, which made me very upset, also looking at the wrong type of research about transgenders (she was looking at stuff like how transgenders will never be their gender, just stuff mainly focused on how they apparently will never be the gender they are), and my sister just pretends I never came out. It's been over 6 months from then, I educated my mum a bit more on it of the parts of where she was wrong, she still sometimes dead names me, but tries to use my name, she still doesn't want to call me he/him yet, she said that it will take her a year or a few to get used to the pronouns. My sister on the other hand, completely ignores that I'm trans, she blames me and says that "I just think I'm trans cause of my autism", which didn't help when I first came out, she keeps on talking like how she would talk to her other girl best friends saying stuff like "ooo can I do your makeup?" "lets go shopping for some clothes, dresses, heels" and just about stuff I do not feel comfortable wearing/doing and I highly doubt she will ever really call me by my preferred name and pronouns but I'll have to live with it cause she is my sister after all and that can't be helped. Edit: So for the past 4 or so months I've been questioning my gender, and I have (finally cause it ws starting to bug me) come to a realisation that I identify as demiboy. I've had a lot of thought about it and have spent time focusing on my feelings about it and to try to see if my gender identity is actually demiboy, and I did a lot or research about it cause I wanted to find out what my feelings were, and demiboy fit the puzzle piece perfectly. And over the past few months 1, my partner broke up with me do to things happening to themself and 2, I've also come to the realisation (with help from my counsellor) that I don't really say what I'm actually feeling just so I can make other people happy and ever since my partner broke up with me its helped me realise my actual feelings as when I'm either close to people or dating someone I hold back my true feelings to make them happy but I'm fed up and just done with not being fully MYSELF and holding my feelings back for others. So this edit is basically me coming out to you guys and making my feelings known to myself as this is the only way I can actually get my feelings through to my head. I identify as a male, I love it when people use he/him and masc pronouns on me, it makes me feel happy but I don't want to FULLY be a guy. I just want to identify as one but not fully become one. I've had a major sit down with myself and thought of stuff that I do and don't want. and I realised that I don't know if I actually want to go on T. I might not go on T. My voice has gotten deeper due to me purposely practicing my voice to speak in a bit lower tone and its now become normal and I'm happy with the tone of my voice currently. I still want top surgery and I 100% know that I do NOT identify as female, any female pronouns on me makes me feel weird and uneasy. Also just to finish this up, me writing this has relieved me and made me feel more at peace with myself. Hopefully in the future I don't change myself just to make others happy.

The reason "the amount of trans people is increasing", is because being trans is more widely talked about and accepted, so more of us are coming out, how do they not know this? It's not because of a trend, it's us feeling more safe. I know it's not really to do with the topic of the video, but it relates to the theme, and the book.

The transagenda is Be Yourself, respect pronouns, and be valid.

just because you haven't transitioned, don't want hormones, and don't want surgery, doesn't mean you aren't valid! ❤ whether you get the validation or not, you still deserve it. and to all the cis-people.. please just be good friends and supporters to people like this, and people who do want a full medical transition!❤

I hate the "one person came out as trans so all their friends did too to be cool" No dumbass, they were friends because they all related to each other. They felt different from everyone else because they knee they were different. Having friends that felt like that too was a comfort and when one finally found the right word for it, they were educated on why they felt the way they did.

My parents used the “you met a nice trans person and they brainwashed you into thinking you’re trans” because I did come out fairly soon after I met a trans person for the first time. Here’s the thing, I knew I wasn’t a girl for a very, very, very long time before this, but I didn’t know that trans people existed. (Stupid overly conservative, religious, bigoted environment I was raised in) So yeah, I met a trans person, she told me what trans was and I went “oh, there’s a term for what I am and I don’t have to stay miserable.”

"...trans people are literally the last people who would ever want to force somebody to live as a gender that they are not, because we know how it feels." That made so much sense, like I can't understand how cis people can't figure that out 😑

"jamie we respect you so much we are going to use your image without your consent to deny your existence!"

It's so horribly invasive to use a photo of someone's naked body without their knowledge and permission. If "those girls are in distress," why TF are you knowingly adding to their pain? Just shows how dishonest these people are. Also; can there be no legal action against that? Especially for those used in the book. I have a feeling Legal Eagle might volunteer to represent you...

if they think you’re a woman, they’re showing that posting naked pictures of women without their consent is okay. there’s no way they don’t look bad here

these people act like clinics are grooming young children into transitioning, meanwhile last week i got misgendered by my nurse while i was taking my t-shot. also therapists have done nothing but question why i want to transition, nobody suggested to me that i was trans, i had to prove that to others, i’m still trying to prove it. t has made me much happier already, it’s the phobic perceptions of others that hurt the most. edit: didn’t expect any likes, i hope all of you are having a good day though - and if not, remember to take care of yourself, even if you feel alone. you’re gonna need any strength you can muster, even if it’s just feeling a bit better about your appearance after brushing your teeth, taking a shower, styling your hair, etc - someday it’ll all pay off, dear stranger. 💙 and, if anyone is worried, i’m doing well despite it all, and *to spite it all* . :-) everything is shit right now, but i’m keeping my chin up so i’m not completely incapable of seeing the light when we do get to the other side of the tunnel.

My mom participated in the ROGD "study", it was really heartbreaking to find out ✌😔 also funny in a sad way is I've been diagnosed with GD multiple times so it was a verry narrow study when my mom didn't mention those things. For those who also went through this, I want you to know I and my mom have come a long way, and she is the reason I'm getting top surgery in a few months ❤

My rule is: if somebody calls themselves a certain gender, and they can drink water, they are valid

“These girls are in distress” yeah because they’re guys and you exist

I L O V E how they put it in black and white and throttled the contrast to make his scars look as visible as possible, aside from the very recent surgery time in the photo.

Coming out as trans improved my life so much! I’ve now become more open about things and a lot more confident in public. I get more sleep and are a lot healthier it just feels like a massive weight has been lifted off me! So much happier now, I’m proud of who I am!

“These girls are in distress” Why yes I am Transitioning is hard

the fact she is referring to trans men as “these girls” is genuinely triggering and harmful in itself and that’s the least harmful thing she’s done

the argument I hate the most from transphobes is the whole "you're a woman who hates being a woman because society told you being a woman is wrong" because like. I grew up literally SURROUNDED by ideas like "girl power" and "women are smarter" and "girls rule, boys drool", my parents made it so so so clear constantly that they wanted me to explore what it meant to be female and how masculine I wanted to be and that they wanted to see me grow up a strong and smart and successful woman who was independent and free, my school had girls clubs where we would talk about female empowerment and workplace equality, I literally never ever got bullied for my gender, and I *somehow* still ended up displaying signs of gender dysphoria at as early as 6 years old. I grew up in an extremely female-positive environment that any girl would love, and I still ended up a trans man. as it turns out, nobody is going around tricking children into being transgender!

I literally got her prager u advertisement on one of Jammi’s videos. I was like, google, you are not reading the room

5:00 I have been told by so many transphobic people I know to not transition because 90% transitions back and it made me feel like shit because all I want is to be in my own body. Thank you for doing what you do, it really helps. You're amazing

The fact that his scars aren't even visible now.....

Me, a cis straight woman: *checks to see if I'm now trans from watching Jamie's videos* Transphobes: ...well? Me: Nope! Still know who I am. Maybe, I enjoy watching Jamie's videos because it further educates me as an ally, and I find pride in the wonderful diversity there is in humanity. What a concept, huh? Edit: and y'know what? I can still be a feminist AND an ally! Why is that so hard for these transphobes to understand that???

My entire Friend group after one of us comes out as trans nonbinary: **rapidly develops the big trans**

In terms of legalities: 1. That is considered NOT fair use 2. It’s slandering ones identity 3. It’s using someone’s image without permission which is totally illegal unless in some states filming in a city owned place like the street or sidewalk of which this is not. That’s only three counts of illegal use and I’m sure I can find more if I did deeper.

*Shudder* yeah... stealing photos is so cringy. Edit: god this was so much cringier than I thought it would be... Its awful how many people steal images/videos and then use them in ads for something that the original person would be 100% against

Jamie you are literally the sweetest kindhearted guy ever and your videos make me feel safer and seen❤️ thank you for what you do and stay amazing✨

My friends friend is a trans man my friend is non binary will i become trans!? No

By their weird logic Jammi is a woman right? So technically by leaving up his image in their own logic they are literally spreading the half naked picture of a “woman” and going against that “woman’s” wishes to not be exposed and are not taking the “woman“ seriously when it comes to what “she” wants. Not very feminist.

People just have too much free time to be hateful, sorry Jamie. I hope you're feeling alright

"These girls are in distress." Yeah because your calling them girls and exisiting.

One time I met a girl who said, "What's the point of gay trans people. They could be normal." It took all of the power within me to not punch her.

If anything you should be used to inspire everyone to accept trans and help baby trans :)

My kid made a trans friend and now they're trans! More likely is that your kid made a trans friend BECAUSE your kid has always been trans, and this trans friend supported them.

My BF came out of surgery crying bc he was so happy to be rid of the boobs... his scars looked SO gnarly at first but healed so well, if someone wanted to they could make his results look really scary but in context you can see how happy it’s made him

ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT in ONE STATE changed TWO WORDS and she’s sitting there whining about transgender people

Someone also used one of your selfies in an anti-trans post on tumblr. A "what trans men think v. what they really look like" thing, where you were used against a fat, feminine trans man. The entire trans man/masc community went BALLISTIC bc the OP didn't seem to think you were a trans man.

Jamie, I am so sorry they are doing this. You have taught me so much. I am a 65 year old cis woman who wants to know how to successfully be inclusive and you are an excellent teacher. There is only a tiny thing I can do to help you educate people and that is to subscribe and comment so you can continue to reach out and educate us.

“rapid onset gender dysphoria” is actually just trans people being able to sense each other. i would know; i manage to find all of the lgbt people and become friends with them very quickly :D

Why was my first thought “someone prolly used his photo to say ‘this man thinks he is a woman’”

you should totally sue them for using your image. the law is on your side 100%.

Dear Sir, I am learning alot about trans from you but what I dont get is what does it matter I am gay, and I fought against it most of my teen age and early 20's. Read affirmation cards to try to fix myself.I am gay, it is who I am, since I accepted that I am good. You are a man if that is what you believe (dont want to get into the word believe, I just have no better one) yourself to be. I also love your calling your follwers Spuds, you say it with such joy and kindness. Keep up your good work Thank you

OMG, this literally happened: Jammi: "So Abigail Shrier said some lovely things such as" - *advert interruption*: I see a world where there's no pollution😂

hi ! i openly identified as a boy between the ages of 12 and 16. in those 4 years, i suffered from severe mental illness. however, this started at age 10, and i’m still in the process of healing. while i now happily identify as female, and am far happier as a person, “being trans” or “thinking i was trans” wasnt the issue. it was how i was treated socially and by medical professionals that made everything worse. i am not trans, and of i had physically transitioned (which im still not legally old enough to do) i dont think it would have effected my identity in any way. i guess in summary, no “ex trans person” or whatever holds any ill will towards the trans community. trans men are men, trans women are women, they/them pronouns are valid, and TERF’s are just sexists who do more to oppress women than they do help them. lookin at you JK R*wling. (also i’m a huge fan, and i hope you have a nice day )

The fact that there are even transphobic ads, podcasts, books or anything is INSANE to me. People going out of their way, and spending a whole lot of money- just to spread hate on a community of people that they know nothing about...it’s so stupid.

She has brought shame upon all Abigails.

A couple of weeks ago I came out to my grandmother. She seemed really supporting and i was happy to finally have an accepting and supporting family member, as the rest of them (besides one of my cousins) hate me for it. Hate is a strong word, but i don't know what else to use to describe slapping me hard enough to cause me to bite my cheek and bleed, to yell at me constantly until I'm gagging blood and crying, and continuously saying that I'm doing everything wrong with my life. Earlier today, i wanted to make an orange smoothie and i had a saved recipe on my mom's phone so I asked if I could use it. She let me. And i took advantage of it since I already had suspicions. I snooped through her texts (i know that's bad). It turns out my grandmother doesn't support me and she only wanted to make a good impression. Now i feel sad, empty. And it also turns out my counselor doesn't support me either. I'm sorry for ranting, but you are one of my idols. I only found you about half a week ago, but you've really made me feel better.

I got here five seconds ago, looked at this title, and said "Yikes, what?" out loud

Ur a legend Jamie and I used ur photo for a hero project in school because as a 13 year old trans guy u r my hero

It's amazing how people like Abigale are painting young trans men or "girls" as they would call them as incredibly stupid and gullible. These teens know how to get help for what they feel and how to explore it. Just because they're young and AFAB, doesnt mean they're lost about who they are.

It’s cool to see all the pictures of your chest all healed-up! I’m looking to get top surgery, and I’ll admit that seeing mostly unhealed chests in pictures has made me nervous. It was never enough to make me feel I shouldn’t get the surgery, but seeing those pictures and assuming the scars would always be prominent did worry me. So this is really reassuring. Great video! So sorry that transphobes are disrespecting you like this.

I bet she'd be pissed if someone posted a picture of her chest to criticize women's rights. She has no empathy.

Send them a cease and desist and demand an apology. You are an online influencer, taking and using your image without your consent could arguably impact your reputation and income. Honestly, I think you could easily find a solicitor who would send the letter on your behalf very cheaply or if it has to go further, they would probably do it on a no-win, no-fee basis because of the clear cut nature of the image, it has your face, they have altered the image without your permission. It would come under IP laws. EDIT - Found it on Instagram and reported it for you.

I went on testosterone at 14 because I was so dysphoric and depressed I was suicidal. I'm 16 now, I've got top surgery a few weeks ago and I am the happiest I have ever been. Transitioning saved my life.

Me, showing up late to the trans meeting: Hey guys! What's the agenda again?

4:40 wait, a surgery leaves scars that don't fade instantly? O U T R A G E /s

Jammi is so wonderful. I am so glad I found his channel years back and revisited it recently. I was introduced to Shaaba, One Topic, and more amazing ppl and creators through this channel too. I am now addicted to wholesome RU-vid and it’s wonderful.

me, a cisgender girl, watching because I'm a super ally and seeing repressed people be happy makes me happy but trans"phobes" make me boil: *angry grizzly noises*

what always makes me laugh is when they suggest that we transitioned to get away from sexism or because we were gay and wanted to get away from homophobia. it's like... sorry to break it to you but that makes no fucking sense, being trans has gotten me bullied and harassed more than being a girl or just gay would have

Ah yes, the transgender agenda of "become my true self and change nobody else's life while massively improving my own" is very scary and threatening!

isn't it illegal to use someone's image without their consent and to defame their image?

One of my best friends is MtF and is receiving hormone blockers currently until she can receive female hormones. Most people were very supportive of her when she was coming out but her brother often mocks her for being trans and even sometimes deadnames her. It is very harmful for her and we are all hoping that she will be able to move on and be accepted.

You are awesome. I hope you are suing each and everyone of them including the platforms that refused to take it down. Every day you reach more and more trans people like myself and their loved ones. I shudder to think if I had to go through all that with my parents. Truly the suffering people go through, I am so happy that you have the courage and knowledge to be able to continue making these broadcasts. Believe me it is far from a casual podcast. It has given me hope and learning to accept myself at age 55. To see a cute face (seriously because sometimes Ive felt far from cute, a little alienated in this world. Yet at the same time Ive been fortunate enough to have so much support), to see a likeable good hearted and consistently cheery guy, in a healthy relationship (which flies in the face off all that bogus research that we are so sad. What it is that makes some of us so sad is transphobia) Im very proud to refer any trans person or loved one who is seeking to understand and accept themselves, to your videos. I appreciate all the videos transpeople have put up, but I personally find on a consistent basis your videos are soothing. Great haircuts, soft voice, very nice facial hair. Im 55 and didn't start testosterone until 4 years ago so I may not have that, and probably won't ever pass as a man, that's just me but as unpopular as that is Im on the top dose of T, they don't expect more changes. I'm using rogaine to try and get even a soft fine haired mustache. But I'm opting to just go as natural as possible and not work on trying to be perceived of as a man, because it is the brass ring I'll never catch. I spent my whole life hiding it. I think it's better I have most everything I want. Maybe do that as a topic sometime. They say "passing" isn't a good term. A friend used to tell me. You're valid. Literally in those words, regardless of if I was different, and a non- conforming man, or one that would never be believeable. You visits are by far the best Ive seen to make myself feel good about myself. that helps me. Thank you for being brave and I hate that this happened to you. People WILL be smart and find out that gender dysphoria is real and that getting adequate treatment is important and with surgery and hormones can really give someone life back to them. Your broadcast will be there as part of Their Full research. Yours is more genuine and believeable.

even as a scare tactic/"eww gross" fallacy, the picture doesn't work. i wish my body looked like that. (and also, you can use pictures like that to try to discourage people from any surgery at all)

@anyone whos is binding, remember to bind safely! dont wear your binder for more than 8 hours, and make sure it isnt too long! and remember to use proper ways ways so bind- dont use duct tape or plastic wrap! stay safe

Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry that this happened to you. My wonderful daughter did some photos--which I have never seen--for friends who needed that kind of information. (I researched photos of what post breast cancer looked like and am eternally grateful to the women who brave enough to show that.) If her photos got snatched by transphobes, I would be incandescently angry.

All these people: oh look at this “Woman” she’s so unhappy because she regrets changing to the opposite sex. Jammi: the happy guy I have ever seen and is clearly very happy with his life now Like bro people need to stop with all this transphobia like what does it affect you if someone’s trans, guess what IT DOESNT. To anyone who is trans or not completely sure about there gender like me, you have my FULL SUPPORT I LOVE ALL OF YOU 🥰

You could definitely sue them for this, non consensual use of your image, potentially slander, copyright, medical misinformation, that kind of thing

Every time they referred to trans guys as "young girls" I literally shouted "BOYS" over them and I literally couldn't stop myself Great video btw Jamie

Jamie can grow a better beard than them, they just jealous.

You're fantastic. Thank you for bringing reason and sense to the senseless hysteria over transgender issues. Side note: I'm a product of Fairfax County Public Schools and I'm queer and pro-trans rights. Please keep doing what you're doing. It's important and valuable. Best to you and Shaaba! ❤️

"When one kid in a friend group comes out as trans, suddenly they're all trans" This actually kinda happened in my friend group? For some reason closeted trans/enby people seem to attract each other then one by one discover they're trans/enby until there's like 2 cis people left.

This might sound rude, but I never realized how much academic research you've put into these topics. I like your normal videos where you're all silly and such well enough. But watching you go *in* on blatant lies, misinformation and stand up for trans rights is something else entirely. I'd love to see more of this, you're like a totally different person when you're showing your education and advocating. It's so easy to tell that you know what you're talking about and it shows that you and other trans people are strong af and will not let other's abuse them or speak for them. Keep it up king, we're here to learn and here to stand with you ✊

So basically they had such a hard time finding a picture of a regretted surgery that they used a picture of your successful surgery that literally made your life way better (that's the OPPOSITE of regret!) and made up an entirely untrue backstory and then claimed this was fair use? Talk about evil idiots! That must be so awful to deal with them doing that 😔

I love the fact you have actually studied all this, AND it’s your personal, backed, researched information. I personally wish to get “top” surgery to get rid of them and my mom saw this and now refuses to even get me a binder. I hate people for that.

I am sorry this happened to you, I don't understand why people can't just let trans people be themselves. People can suck sometimes :(

I JUST CAME OUT AS TRANS TO MY FAMILY TODAY yeah sorry i just needed to tell someone have a good day

Using a photo that was basically a symbol of progress as a way to put fear in others eyes to support your hateful ideas just makes me sick. I’m so tired of transphobes and anytime I interact with one I just sigh in my head because it’s gonna be the same shit.

That little laugh on 1:36 was soooo unbelievably cute ❤️😊 I'm really really proud of you for making and sharing these videos💕 you're great!

Can’t you sue them or something? Maybe slander? (Idk I know nothing about legal crap)
