“You’re a cis woman.” “Yes.” “And you refer to women using she and her.” “Yes.” “Therefore, you refer to yourself and want people to refer to you with she and her!” “Yes.” “Then you use she/her pronouns.” “I don’t have pronouns, I’m a woman of god.”
What do you think that type of person imagine it is to "have / use" pronouns? It sounds like they are talking about an actual physical tangible object called pronouns that poor misguided souls shove somewhere unthinkable...
Same. They need to go back to elementary school. Literal 6 year-olds can tell you what a pronoun is. It's not like transpeople pulled the concept out of thin air.
Why not refer to everything in percentages? You could be 100-0, 0-100, 50-50, 25-75, 80-20, whatever. In fact, we only really need one number, and you could just be 100, 0, 50, 25, 80, etc, respectively. Of course, people would argue over which identity gets to have the stated percentage, but the idea itself is sound.

Prager U: "Can an 8-year-old choose their gender?" Everyone interviewed: "Yes." Prager U: "Should an 8-year-old get transition surgery?" Everyone interviewed: "No, of course not! You shouldn't get that surgery until you're an adult and have spoken with therapists and doctors to decide if you want it!" Prager U: "Okay, so most people agreed that and 8-year-old can't choose their gender." Everyone interviewed: "What? That's not what we said at all!" Prager U: "Yep. 8-year-olds can't choose their gender. Everyone agreed with us."
The reason they're dumb enough to think that's a good lie is bc they're not even a real university (seriously go on wikipedia... They also have gotten lots of their funding from fracking just to add to the supervillainy)
I used to have them in deviantart. Until I started to get creepy guys notifying me. But it was nice to just simply refer to someone with the right pronouns instead of guessing. Now I just accept anyone calling me anything on the internet, since it isn’t much of an inconvenience for me. It’s still really fun seeing the pronouns of people in their bios along with things like “I like mushrooms”, it’s really cute.
@@lemonlord I work at a university as an exam administrator (I.e. SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE, etc) and it’s an unspoken requirement to have your pronouns in your email signature. It’s so lovely. I’m a cis lesbian and seeing organization-wide inclusivity measures is so wonderful to see. It’s also common place for speakers at events to introduce themselves including their pronouns. To be clear, I’m not a student. This is common practice among all departments across the university including staff/faculty, so these are 65 year old accountants participating in inclusion. Also, when a an employee decides to come out as trans the university offers to make a staff wide announcement to ensure their new name, pronouns, and identity is known and respected. Tl;dr it’s not terrible every where sometimes on rare occasions
@@frostyskeletons8950 that is actually so great, I hope this either becomes a norm eventually or that I have the privilege to work in a place like that (I'm not old enough to work yet), it's nice to know there's some hope
My teacher just told us about they them pronouns. She was saying how they them are plural. And then I said can they them be single. And I quote she said " yes they can be used for people who don't use he or she." I think she knows about nonbianary and that's awesome because I'm nonbianary
You don’t need to share this, of course, but if you are out as non-binary your teachers should know, so they can use the correct pronouns for you. You deserve that.
What? "They" is not for non-binary people. "They" has been around for a long time, it just means anyone, non-specific. Whenever anyone wants to build a sentence and doesn't know the gender or doesn't want to specify or reveal it, they can use "they". Like i just did right here, 10 words behind. Or am i misunderstand something...? You mean pronouns referring to a specific person?
@@neliaferreira9983In my experience it means that "They" are aware of their "biological gender" and also aware of the other "biological gender." But they don't like someone pointing it out constantly cause it feels TMI. And they rather keep parts of themselves for themselves in private. Unless, they happen to be in a romantic relationship, then that just means there was like one or more people saw them naked. That's just the basics.
@@katiearbuckle9017 being non binary has nothing to do with not wanting to share your personal info unless when intimate? It's about not identifying with either man or woman, or for some identifying with both man and woman, and it's a spectrum where it can swing and sometimes you feel neutral and don't want either. So some might say she/them pronouns, others just they/them. And some he/they. It's very depending on person, and has nothing to do with being private and all about being trans gendered. And also being intimate/seeing someones reproductive organs won't say much about their gender, as some don't identify with their sex at birth. And not all trans people have gender reconstructive surgery, nor need to have that, to be valid. So you can't see someone naked and go "you're a man/woman". Because it is not a direct connection to their gender identity.
This is a sign that the world is progressing. Transphobes/homophobes are speaking louder meaning that more and more people are accepting of the LGBTQ+ community.
Having no pronouns is actually a valid thing you can use too! Instead of pronouns, you'd refer to the person with their name! So if someone named Steven had no pronouns, instead of smth like he/him, you'd use Steven and Steven's
On that “can a 8 year old change their bio gender” thing. Yeah, obviously. Just don’t get any surgery or anything. Cut/grow hair, dress different, see what makes you happy. It’s not that hard, phobes. Edit: I meant change not choose sorry
@@kuukanz So you come to the video of a transgender person and you're gonna go "sicko mode" because people are accepting of transgender people? That's ridiculous, mate. If you're as transphobic as you sound you're already a sicko lmao Nobody can choose their gender. That is science. You can find studies if you take a second to google search. If people could choose their genders, don't you think transgender people would just change their genders to match their bodies instead of changing their bodies and sexes to match their genders? I bet you also think being gay is a choice 🙄
@@kuukanz Wait, isn't that also the nonbinary flag in your pic? Some deep-rooted internal transphobia going on here. Maybe you *think* you chose to be nonbinary, but no, you didn't. You chose to express your gender, but you have zero control over whether or not you're actually non binary or not. If you could choose, wouldn't you just choose to be cisgender and avoid all the hassle? I know I would
“Trains people are so disgusting” That one kid who says “I like trains” in the asdf movies: *am i a joke to you* Edit: how tf does this comment have so many likes, thank you so much
8:16 "An eight year-old is a child of God, so..." **PragerU Guy nods, not realizing he's about to be owned** "...consequently, choices are theirs." Best response, hands down.
I love how they've forgotten that "pronoun" is an English grammatical term that just so happens to include gender pronouns. So obsessed with being hateful they're willing to fight the English language itself.
When I was early in transition, I was getting off a train and someone yelled "tr***y!". It wasn't until the door closed and the train moved away thought I thought I should have yelled back "close, but it's a train...you're on a train" in a condescending tone.
Fun fact: I didn't know transphobia was a thing until I was like 12 (heard the word, looked it up, and lost faith in humanity for the umpteenth time). This makes me feel really happy for my trans friend because they came out when they were fairly young and the fact that an classroom of literal children can respect someones pronouns makes transphobes look even sadder in comparison.
Hahaha! As a ciswoman, these terfs frustrate me, but they are comical too. They conflate anatomy with gender. If I had eight legs I would likely still identify as human, but I'm sure I would also have dysmorphia/dysphoria. We are our brains and we need to feel at peace with our bodies too. And I'm very much over simplifying things. Trans ally here JD. 💚
Okay so there is a confession I have to make.. I started watching Jammie months ago cause I am bisexual, and I wanted to learn more about the trans community and Jammie is really entertaining. But there is also an other reasons why I watch him.. I am questioning my gender and after trying to figure things out I think I am a transman. Thank you so much for everything Jammie, and thank you so much for everyone being such supportive and amazing people!💙
Congratulations! I only realized I wasn’t female a month or two ago, and the community surrounding Jamie and other creators has been absolutely amazing
K got an ad where the transphobes saying you can’t be trans and be a woman and all I heard was “You can’t be trans and a woman it’s not possible-“ “THIS YEAR ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”
Transphobes: "Trains people are so disgusting." Me: "I like trains." Transphobes: "Wha-" Transphobes: *Get run over by a train that came out of nowhere* Me: :)
People's genders should NOT be "life-altering decisions", actually- if we get rid of sexism, then that argument just falls apart as a sweet, sweet bonus
Last time I was this early, I thought my oldest kid was male. She just came out to me as a trans woman, and I'm so happy she felt safe enough to share that with me. I love her so much! And we both love you Jamie, Ty so much❤💚💜💙💛
Aww that’s great! You’re such an awesome mom! I hope mine reacts like that if I ever figure out my sexuality and maybe come out to her! Oh, and Your daughter is *valid* as a girl and always will be :3
This is why education is important, I feel like a lot of transphobes are confused and unfamiliar with the vocab*, and someone gently explaining things to them (like Jamie's doing) will prob make them less transphobic idk edit: *and grammar apparently (uses she but never used pronouns) lol
While some people are too hateful or stubborn to ever change their views, there are those out there who are just ignorant and often afraid and can change with a little gentle guidance and education. Like when Rain Dove replied to the angry mom whose child wanted a breast binder. Despite being attacked out of nowhere and called a pervert, Rain talked her through why she should buy her child a binder (safety) and how hard it is to open up about something like that and they must love each other a lot. She ended up asking if she could message again with more questions! It's not any trans person's (or any minority's) job to educate other people about why they should be treated like a person, but when they feel they can and want to and there's a response like that, it does make me feel a little bit better about humanity.
The "trains people" reminds me of a sign I used to walk past that had the words "trains people", but the "i" was stylised as a person and in a different colour to the rest of the text, so I kept reading it as "trans people". (It also had no other text on it, making it quite a mysterious sign, but it was next to the railway for some context.)
Remember that time a bunch of transphobes complained about trans women invading womens sports and used an article about a trans boy who had to be on the girls wrestling team in his high school and beating all of them as "evidence"? That was hilarious.
As a writer pronouns are my favorite part of speech because you don’t have to use the super long noun or worry about making a shorter noun. Trans ppl making ppl more aware of them just made me love trans ppl more.
As a writer i love pronouns because if a character uses multiple pronouns which people use which pronouns is actually an interesting information to further characterise their relationship Great stuff trans people 👍👍
It's just ridiculous how crazy some transphobes get, not even noticing the ridiculous things they say lmao! I myself am cis so I can't speak for trans folk, however it really agitates me to see the hate, especially when my fathers girlfriend is an avid transphobe herself. She even started talking about how transgender people get gender dysphoria cause of vaccines, in the middle of my older sisters birthday dinner with her boyfriend present, again, someone who's also not trans. She's never even met a trans person, its just disgusting. Luckily my mother and sister find things like this ridiculous, and don't judge people for their gender, sexuality or anything ridiculous like that :) Stay safe everyone and have a lovely day
(6:20) Why didn't anyone point out that "I" is a pronoun too? The statement that you're quite limited to using your name if you don't use pronouns is true, but it was a weird focus on third person pronouns only. Not only that, some languages have gendered first and second person pronouns too.
I was on Among Us today, and asked for the people playing's pronouns. One of the people said I shouldn't ask for that because there are only two genders. That didn't make sense because they could've identified as female or male, and I didn't want to misgender them, so I started explaining how there are more than two genders, and that person wouldn't stop. Well now I don't have their pronouns, so I will just refer to them using they/them pronouns.
Except the movie Trainspotting had nothing to do with trains, much to my severe disappointment when I bought the damned DVD ... UGH. THEY LIED TO ME! So apparently now not only can we not judge a book by it's cover - we can't judge it by its title either.......................kind of a little apt lesson considering the topic of this video it seems. Huh.
One more remark: You metion the following tweet: "feminists" who exclude trans women basically admit to seeing women as walking vaginas you know, like misogynists" This post is about people who you call terfs, and mocks their views. So this is not trans-phobic at all. It stands by trans-women and all women: They are not defined by their genitals.
I think you misunderstood. The video was about transphobes failing. This tweet was pointing out how feminist transphobes were failing. It fit the topic. He wasn't saying the tweet was transphobic
@@robin0135 aaah okay, his reaction felt to me like he was saying that the post was transphobic so I was instantly confused. I guess he was just adding to the posts message. But it was thrown in between the actual fail tweets that I wasn´t sure what was going on for a moment thanks for clarifying :)
I would just like to point out that “I” is also a pronoun and plenty of people who say they don’t have or use pronouns used “I” in stating that they don’t have/use pronouns and that makes me laugh
that last clip just reminded me why it took so long to figure out my gender. calling it a "life altering decision" when it doesnt HAVE to be. i thought it it had to be an extreme "i am 100% against the gender i was assigned and i am going to have sex reassignment surgery TOMORROW" and that scared me. I am somewhat comfortable in my femininity and it wasnt until this year (being trans for 7 years now) that i decided i wanted to take some steps in transitioning. not every trans person wants to do life altering surgeries/hrt and before I learned that I was confused.
this reminds me of the time that this guy was going off on twitter that he wasn't cis and he didn't want to be called another gender so I asked "are you cis or normal?" he answered "normal, so stop calling me cis!" so I said "but isn't the opposite of cis trans?" and he deleted his tweets from the thread
That slow response tweet about the gra in Ireland is like when your playing AmongUs and the person that called the emergency meeting doesn’t say anything until the last 5 seconds of voting time.
I had an appointmet with a psychiatrist today. They asked me why I had come and I asked for a pice of paper so i could write it down, because I couldn't say it out loud. I wrote down that I'm not a girl I'm a guy and my family doesn't accept that. I thought I should share it here, because so many people are so accepting in Jamie's comment sections and that was really hard for me.
I'm very sorry that you aren't accepted by your family and I can relate to this comment so much. I had my first coming out almost two years, but I haven't said that I'm trans yet. I just can't say the word trans when talking about myself and I don't even know why. So whenever I talk about being trans (which is almost never do) I say something like "I'm a guy who was afab".
Wow, just wow. To go there and find a way to express yourself. That is such a strong thing to do. You will see, things won't be easy from now, but you are on a brilliant way for your life. Much love and good thoughts from half around the world... (probably? I'm in Europe?)
Ages ago a friend corrected a stranger on my pronouns and he said "How does THAT work?" All sassy like. My friend responded coldly "Well, do you know what a PRONOUN is?"
2:53 OMG that is the best one yet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm saving this in my "Best of the Best" folder!!! 👍👍👍👍👍😎 Thank you Jammie! This was a great distraction from the turmoil here in the U.S.!
