I came out to my mom on Sunday as transmasculine and my mom supports me lmao, but she can’t say the word right and instead says “transmobile”. I am now a transmobile.
Btw, I've heard that some trans folks actually use Starbucks to try out their new name, to check if it feels right. So if you're not sure which one name to choose, trying them in Starbucks order might some way to solve it as you hear yourself being called with it with no commitnments.
I’m so sorry to hear that. My son (19] is bi, and my daughter’s (14) best friend is trans. I can’t fathom being anything but supportive and loving towards my kids. I’m so very sorry that you didn’t have your parents support. It seems such folly to me that parents decide to make themselves and their children, their spouse, the whole family unhappy when there really isn’t any reason to be. I don’t know if it’s displaced fear, or inflexibility or what, but it’s so dumb. Life is so much better when you realize that when the people you love are happy, you’re happy! Some relationships should end, but if there was a non-toxic relationship before, keep the candle in the window, maybe one day things will change.
I'm so sorry to hear that my son ftm is such an amazing person I couldn't imagine not accepting you child for who they are or loving them less for some convoluted reason. Please know their are plenty of families out their who will love u with their whole heart and welcome u with open arms, sometimes we have to make our own families.❤ wishing you all the best❤
@@KrimsonKattYT it seem like they don’t quite understand, but they love you dearly. As long as people are starting from a place of love, they’ll get there. I highly recommend personal and family counselling, it will help you form a strong base for your adult relationships.
I have a hunch that those were Santa Claus's glasses and that's why they were able to show her what everyone wanted for Christmas? The glasses case does say "S.C." inside...
So, Santa was gifting her the pride of choosing the right presents or was he just being lazy and avoiding the effort of getting the presents himself? 🤔
I'm expecting something like that. Or to be laughed at and told I'm not trans. Or be told you can't do that by my mom, which is a common thing from childhood. For some perspective, I'm 42 and my parents are almost 70
I'm almost 30 and still in the closet. I'm afraid to tell my parents. I'm not afraid physically, but I am afraid mentally and emotionally. So idk if I will ever come out. I hope you know you have thousands of people who understand what you're going through. I hope you're doing okay 💜💙💚
I've been doing a lot of cleaning jobs for the past couple years, and I think sanitary bins in men's rooms are a huge win for everyone. For the transmascs, for guys who use incontinence pads, or for just anyone who wants to rid their pockets of random trash while they have a minute to spare. There has been a lot less littering on the floors and fewer clogged toilets ever since it's become a requirement to have at least one stall with a bin in every men's room.
@@kofipita At least where I live, men's restrooms have one or more large trash cans by the sink or by the door, primarily for paper towel waste. Women's restrooms have the same thing, but they *also* have a small trash receptacle in each stall. This is because you're not supposed to flush your pad/tampon down the toilet, but you probably also don't want to carry your bloody garbage out of the stall and dispose of it in the main trash can where everyone else in the restroom can see. As a non-uterus person, I had never really thought about that before, but once I saw it, it made a lot of sense.
Yeah, it used to be the same here. It's a pretty new regulation to also have the small bins (or at least one) in the men's room. It's a small sign of acceptance or at least awareness of trans people which is nice to see by itself, but like I said, even cis men have started using them. They're just really convenient. :)
I don't like sports, but I am a huge fan of Charles Barkley. He's such a kind and accepting man. During the Bud Light drama, he was on stage at some event and said "I want you to drink this fucking beer. If you're gay, bless you. If you're transgender, bless you, if you've got a problem with that FUCK YOU."
I think the least realistic part of the Starbucks commercial isn't the barrista not butchering the name. The least realistic part is that it didn't have them try to figure out their orders for five minutes just for him to fuck it up anyway because it's a string of twenty made-up brand terms you need to get 100% to get exactly what you wanted. You don't just say "coffee" and get what you want. Unlike pronouns, this is complicated.
I remember one day I was at Starbucks and I had to tell the barista my deadname because I was with my family, but it ended up coming out as a completely different name lol
17:30 This one touched me. Like he didn't openly tell her that he accepts her the way it is, but that small gesture with the name on coffee... It's sweet.
Looked to me that he is struggling with the situation but is making the effort anyway, like we all hope everyone will. He didn't said openly that he accepts his daughter and his face doesn't gives the impression either, but he used the new name regardless. ❤
@@joshuakelly9390 ? Who are you trying to correct there? Because the father, who is the one we called "he", looks pretty manly to me... and wouldn't be having much trouble accepting her if he wasn't...
Hope you're feeling better Jamie! Please *DO* read out the subtitles - I'm visually impaired, and I love when you describe the LGBallT cartoons. I'm gobsmacked that there was a sanitary bin in a men's toilet (in a good way!)! The number of accessible, non-gender-specific toilets I've been in without mirrors, sanitary towel / condom machines and even sanitary bins.
I agree: I would also love to hear the subtitles, although I should be able to read it. Some were very fast and I had to pick if I wanted to read the text or notice anything else, or pause and rewind a number of times to get it all. Yay for more inclusive toilets, bins for everyone!
Yes, please read the subtitles out loud! I'm not visually impaired, but I have ADHD and I'm not an English native speaker, so I can't focus or read fast enough on my own. I always use subtitles for all my programmes, including the ones in my native language. It helps me focus and understand the content SO much better.
As others have said, SLC = Salt Lake City Utah, western USA. While Utah is home to many Mormons/LDS folks, SLC is becoming an ever-more queer friendly hub within the center of more conservative folks. I love that my city is making strides to improve life for the diverse members of the state.
i mean, our city definitely still has problems. idk if you heard about the transphobic movie showing at the U on wednesday but that was absolutely crazy. there was a big protest set up and a lot of police got involved
oh _MAN._ that starbucks ad REALLY got to me. the warmth, love, and acceptance hit me right in the feels and brought out immediate tears. i wish every parent was like that.
Bombas is an excellent company - the whole thing is they give a matching gift of whatever you buy (pair of socks, underwear, etc.) to homeless shelters.
And they’re really good quality socks! They actually have a free replacement guarantee in case the dryer eats only one of the pair. How awesome is that?! I mean on top of the buy-one-give-one to shelters! They’re definitely worth the cost when you realize you’re buying 2x and because they last forever! I haven’t had any of them get holes and I’ve worn them for several years now.
I think we need both the big 'rainbows in your face all about the LGBT+ identity' type ads and the more subtle 'just us being people' type. I think the two kinds fill different needs for how we see ourselves represented and also for how others see us represented
@@FluffyFemboyVixx how was my statment wrong? Explain very clearly. I maintain that a statement of opinion cannot be wrong or right, it can only be an opinion. Maybe you can prove otherwise?
I live is a super rural conservative town. It’s hard to be queer because everything is over saturated with homophobia. Jamie’s videos are so sweet and provides a bit of escapism from this area. So thank you so much for your videos!! You’ve created such a supportive and kind community 💛💛💛
Same. I think that's because with pride merch you have a lot more profit associated, they count on the sales and it can just be a relatively small compartment compared to their "regular" sold items. But with the ads, the companies actually make a (kind of) risky move to lose homo-/transphobic customers, it's more of a representation and signals change in society.
@@Mara-lj8uqwhat does it mean when companies like Disney and people like Scott cathorn pretend to pander to and accept the community while funding homophobic politicians and campaigns
You’re only happy with LGBTQ+ representation when it’s in ads? Or you’re only happy with rainbow capitalism as it pertains to ads because those are an opportunity for visible acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community? Because those are two very different things, and I’m gonna need you to clarify.
I semi-agree, my reason is changing with the more lgbtq+ inclusive shows we are getting now. Back in the day when shows/movies wanted to be inclusive, they were only able to show lgbtq+ in an over the too/negative types of ways. I.e. pron, getting beat up/murdered (broke back mountain/boys dont cry), not faithful/always messing around (The L Word- i like the show, but the rep is bad still.) And granted, we needed some of that to bust walls down to get where we are now, i feel like people still ONLY see the lgbtq+ like that. Which is why I like these new age commercials because they are forcing people to see that lgbtq+ are just "everyday" people. Not all lesbians are pron stars (yes im spelling it so auto whatever doesnt pick it up.) Not all gay guys are "weak", not all trans people are predators, ect. I feel that commercials are showing "The REAL lgbtq+" and I love it better than shows are able to portray.
ok i'm crying at the coffee advert lol I used a person's preferred name when they weren't expecting it the other day and their face lit up like it was christmas morning
I see all the homophobes and transphobes, and they are just absolutely horrible and all they do is hurt people. But then I remember You, Thomas Sanders, Brandon Rogers, and many others and I feel happy again. You can't always get rid of hate, but you can always stop it from getting rid of the people you love. You make it easier to live. I've been supporting you for a while now.
Lately I’ve been noticing so many lgbtqia+ ads and I love it I live in Australia and they used to have no representation on tv other than shows but in ads now it’s like BOOM LESBIANS BOOM DRAG QUEEN BOOM F U HOMOPHOBIA AND TRANSPHOBIA HAHAHAHA but like my parents notice it in a bad way 😭
i’ve changed my name and can confirm it’s trilling to say it in starbucks for the first time! we don’t have this coffee chain anymore, but the last time i went there the barista said my name reminded her of one existing animal shelter and charity - and that’s how i’ve found a cool charity project. funny enough, they’ve named their shelter after the very first dog they treated, and i’m happy she’s my namesake 💛
I feel like the part where the starbucks ad said it 'wasnt intended to offend anyone' was apologizing for offending transphobes... which they don't deserve. Phobes are only as butthurt as they choose to be, so they don't deserve any apologies if anyone offends them.
*Good, supportive husband! *I'm here ugly crying at the coffee commercial! My daughter (19) is currently living with her dad (long story) and he is not at all educated on trans issues, and is being difficult about her transitioning. *Wow, sanitary bins in the men's bathroom! That's great progress! *THICK SOCKS! 🧦 *🙏❤🏳🌈🏳⚧🟦
It kinda annoys me, when ads get me tear up. I'm being brainwashed to buy a pick-up or a fancy flight, but I can't even be mad about it, because the ad is so sweet.
I love Pattie Gonia! She's a queen that is all about enviroment issues, many of her outfits are made with recycled materials that are not good for use in hiking, and keeps being fabulous in nature ✨
Thick socks 100%. Bombas is honestly amazing. Their stuff is comfy and high quality, and for every item sold, they donate a piece of clothing to a homeless shelter.
Levi's is a long-time, authentic supporter of LGBT folks. I really loved their Pride designs this year, too. The "Radical Love" art and some items with subtle rainbow tabs instead of the usual red Levi's one.
Omg as a lesbian and a gender-fluid person I look forward to you and your videos😋 So do all of my friends. You helped me give my trans bestie the help he needs. Alex is and always now will be Alex. No matter how many times his family calls him “Kenzie”. I know, he knows, he is a he and should be treated respectfully as such. And no one can take that away ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Mo-qb8zoDon't be a concern-troll and stop with the white-knighting. The OP is being an ally to a friend, and you're _attacking them_ for not being 1000% perfect.
I reallt like the more kind of subtle ads rhat have LGBTQ rep in them. Like the national lottery advert thatvshows the timeline of a love story for a gay couple and other ones like that. It really helps towards normalisation cus like queer people ar ejust like eveyone else. We use the same products as everyone else, we live ordinary lives like everyone else.
This is insane timing, I'm recovering from a concussion, eye infection, cold, and cramps :/. Thanks Jamie for bringing positivity to our day! And these ads are all so wholesome and makes me happy for the representation:)
I was outed to my parents as nonbinary/transmasc a couple months ago and they weren't very supportive at all and the rest of my family doesn't know for a really good reason but i came out to my grandma who lives another state away and she was the supportive family member i needed i have very supportive amazing friends/ chosen family tho as well these videos help me forget abt the bad things just for a moment like a 20 ish min breather very random but the starbucks one made me think of that.
Maybe I’m just feeling hyperemotional because I’m also sick but that Starbucks one got me good. I BURST into tears when the daughter opened the door and I had to pause the video to collect myself so I could keep watching 😅
Just wanna drop by in the comments real quick to tell y'all about a Belgian coffee ad that also has really cool, kind of casual representation! It's called "Douwe Egberts, Something To Share" and it basically tells a quick story about a teenage girl who has her girlfriend over, but her dad comes home earlier than expected, so she tries to quickly hide her in her room (afraid of judgement from her father). Her father then texts her if they want some coffee, by which they both go downstairs (hereby the girl introducing her girlfriend) and then share a coffee and talk with her dad. It's honestly really cute and I just wanted to share it here real quick
No socks!! Toe prisons. sandals and flip flops and shoeless all the way!! This is such a nice video ❤ there's a huge resurgence of transphobia in my area to the point I have avoided going out again, to a degree, so it is nice to see positivity ❤❤❤❤ Always love your videos
She didn't just steal anyone's glasses, she stole Santa Claus' glasses. As for socks - no, the thickness of my socks change depending on how the shoes fit. I wear a US size 6 1/2 extra wide. Some shoes are just a touch too tight all the same for thick socks, so I have to wear thin ones to be able to wear them without my toes going numb.
Thin socks in summer, thick the rest of the year, but any time they have to be knee length. The Starbucks one with Arpita absolutely made me tear up...I just wish they made better coffee.
Seeing trans men being awesome makes me so HAPPY like when I came out I thought "NOOOO I'LL NEVER BE LOVED" If you're still at the "NOOOO I'LL NEVER BE LOVED" thing, don't worry. You'll be okay.
Oof, the Starbucks ad made me cry as soon as the girl walked through the door. And she’s so gorgeous too. I came out as a trans man to my parents this year at the age of 33 so it wasn’t easy for them to adapt. But today I spent the day with my mom and at one point we talked about how everything’s going (I do my therapy sessions at the moment so I’ll get T next year) and she used my new name and referred to me as her son and asked some questions and I feel so grateful. So far everyone I came out to has been super accepting and everyone tries to use the new name and pronouns and corrects themselves when they use the old ones by accident. I wish every trans person could have people in their life who support them
Might be a trans woman thing, but I actually love wearing thin socks. pre-transition, it felt like I was wearing very short nylons, and actually gave me a little euphoria.
Jamie telling everyone he's not feeling so Hot and he'll probably be low energy... and also talking at 70 words per second and looking like a shampoo commercial!!
Hope you feel better soon Jamie,the premise of the Boots Christmas Ad,is that father Christmas left his glasses on the bus,the girl (who is the actress from TV series it's a sin) puts them on and sees the world as father Christmas does,at the end father Christmas picks up his glasses again,it was about inclusivity at Christmas(Matt)
SLC stands for Salt Lake City. The capitol city of Utah. Utah is (or at least was given the governmental antagonism) known for it's outdoor recreation which brought in tourists.
The state (and most everywhere excluding SLC proper) is also rather known for the predominant anti-lgbtqia2+ religion: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints a.k.a. Mormons.
@@MaraJrianne True. And thanks for pointing out that SLC proper isn't as bad for the LGBTQ. Though it does still have a high number of mormons, owing to the main temple being located there.
S.L.C. is Salt Lake City, which is in the state of Utah. At least, I think that's what they mean. I don't know of any Gay abbreviations with those letters. Also, maybe the glasses weren't stolen, but deliberately meant for her to find. Father Christmas works in mysterious ways. A little imagination is in order.
as a fellow Gender-fluid person, i'm happy you have been able to accept what you are, and remember that your identity is always valid no matter what anyone else may say or think. ❤
Bombas are amazing!!!! They've been my go to for years now, definitely nice and thick (as I need that too), I even wear them under my tights because I too need my proper sock as a barrier for thinner options. They even donate a pair for every pair purchased which is great
YAY! Shaaba! Your GO GRRL! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you, Mr. Dodger, for sharing something fun and positive. I am so exhausted from all the hate. Just exhausted. Sending ((HUGS)) Also Yes - not a fan of thin dress socks either.
SLC is salt lake city, Utah (the funniest acronym for which is SL,UT). i live in Utah and I'm honestly appalled this is the first I'm hearing of this XD
As another person who’s a part of this community. I can agree that they’re pretty nice Hi. Watched further and I do agree. I can’t wear thin socks, it’s just off
Yaaaay Shaba! Also, I cried for the starbucks ad as well - too bad Starbucks got a lot of heat for it in India I cried for the Virgin Altantic one too!
I prefer thin socks because of my sensory processing issues and because I am heat intolerant, I've had to get used to thicker socks for compression and the ones I got are not too bad, they're still ankle socks so I can live with them
SLC is Salt Lake City, Utah. In the mountains. Very conservative. If any place needed more pride, it would be there. 😂 And a story for you, Jamie. I have a friend who is trans masc and is just starting to transition. I had the honor of cutting his long hair off and giving him his first short haircut. 😊 I am so glad I could help with his first transition steps.
Joy for all except for whoever lost those yuletide magic glasses! If someone saw what I wanted for the holidays they would be surprised. That's because they wouldn't see anything, they would just feel peace and love inside.
Hey! Just popping here as a cis women to tell a story thay happen 2 days ago to prove that it is not hard to use the proper name and pronouns of someone. My college organized an event called the 24h. Basically it's 24h of board and tabletop games to have fun. While there I saw someone I thought I recognized because I was friends with their bother in elementary school. Anyway I'm not sure if I remembered their name and I'm too shy just to go up to them and ask so I talk to someone who is a friend of them (important note the "they" in question is female looking and was presenting as female when I last talked to them) Me: Hi, I'm Xeldrine, you're friends with "deadname" rigth? Friend: Oh! You mean Alaric? Me: Ah uh, are we both talking about "deadname"? Friend: Yes, now they like to be called Alaric. Me: Oh gosh I didn't know, I knew that person before because they were the younger sibblings of a friend. So what pronouns do they use? Friend: He uses he/him Me: ok got it At that moment Alaric shows up and is a bit intrigued Alaric: hey, Xeldrine, right? Long time no see. Friend: She was just explaining to me that you knew each other from before. Me: Yeah, sorry I used your dead name to refer to you Alaric: It's okay. The coming out is still recent. Me: Cool just you know that I will use your new name and pronouns to refer to you. If I ever make a mistake, correct me and I'll oblige. Alaric: Thanks We then spent a couple of minutes catching up and getting each others contacts. It was the firts time meeting someone I knew that came out as transgender after loosing contact with them. It was nice and he is super nice. Moral of the story, if you make a mistake apologize and use the correct name. It's really not that hard.
It's not hard but I will actively not do that. It's not about doing something easy or hard, it's about doing what's right. Recognizing that you're one of two genders and you can't change it is important to the truth of this world.
@joshuakelly9390 Oh! Thanks for showing directly that you're transphobic. Please just read a book on the difference between sex and gender and then come back here so we can talk between adults. Until then, I hope that you a situation that will put you in a place of need and that no one is going to help you. There's is no truth about gender. People are people, and they can act how they want. If you don't understand that, then shut up and just leave the rest of us alone. Last thing, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, I don't know how cars are made, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Either way, thanks for your useless comment, and see you in never.
@@joshuakelly9390 Yeah, your truth about gender isnt a truth and gender is something peresonal. If there was a truth, it would also not be important to reconize it
@@DarkCor38744 You're incorrect. You're actively fighting against true things. It doesn't matter if you do since it doesn't change the truth. Gender isn't "personal." You've been fed a lie and regurgitate it to avoid feeling hurt by being wrong with your choices. The truth doesn't change though and neither does your gender. You were either born a boy or a girl.
SLC is Salt Lake City, the Utah town known best for Mormons. Mormons absolutely hate the gays, to the point where a lot of the time you can tell when someone is non-Mormon by them having a pride flag in their yard. At first I thought it was just a super gay area I was in, but I was told it's how locals protest Mormon hatred of all things fruity. So that North Face ad was both gay and actively pushing boundaries by showing up in a very anti-gay place. Which is, like, super cool.
I have a few pairs of Bonnie socks. They're so thick and comfy!! Also I got them during a campaign where if you bought a pair they donated a pair to lgbt+ homeless shelters (specifically to trans homeless kids/ adults).
