here is a cool dinosaur fact for you :} the argentinosaurus, a dinosaur alive during the creataceous period, is believed to be the largest terrestrial animal! they might have weighed up to 129 _tons_ and could get as tall as 21 meters high and could reach lenghts of 30 meters. i shall return with another dinosaur fact on another video...or maybe another fact about another prehistoric animal..
I actually had a lesbian teacher in 6th grade. She was my math/science teacher. She was AMAZING and was always super casual when talking about her wife and the three kids they adopted 🥺 all three of them were siblings in foster care. We all loved her and her love for cats. Nothing ever felt like she was "shoving LGBTQ topics" in our face. She was a safe space for many students.
i'm almost positive my music teacher from 4th grade was a lesbian, when she told us she had a wife all i cared about was that she said her wife was a singer, so i thought her wife was famous lol
also nobody has nonbinary nougat - it’s one of my favourites! i’m not overly fond of lesbian liquorice, but i’m just not that fond of aniseed. the ace after eights are brilliant tho, highly recommend
Did you know that in Tennessee, they're trying to ban a book about SEAHORSES because "it normalises gender fluidity and the idea that males can get pregnant"
Oh no, the Seahorses are too "woke" now, they can't handle basic biology so they made it so males had to get pregnant. Can't teach children about different animals now.
@@everyonelicksthesamerocks I mean, my source is a tweet that was in a video from The Click so who knows? 😂But I mean, it absolutely sounds like something they'd do.
I had these so called woke parents. My little brother is cis and wore dresses when he was little. No one told him he was trans. They just let him wear what he wanted. That's what the transphobes are getting wrong with this stuff. Kids aren't being forced to transition, they're just being allowed to express themselves how they want to.
Yeah same, my little brother got to enjoy his Barbies and wear pink, he was never seen as a girl by anyone (in the family) it's not 'woke' parents that are saying any expression that doesn't line up just right with gender norms means you aren't that gender anymore.
Your parents sound awesome. My parents would have hated me. Or if they caught me when I was a teenager. Probably would have kicked me out. I’ve only ever tried on a skirt once. But I never put it on again because I was scared of getting caught. Now years later I might actually be trans. And I’m gay on top of that. And I know I’m not faking it.
I wore overalls and my favorite toy was a dump truck when I was little. I'm a cisgender woman. My mom let me wear and play with what I wanted. My brother had a baby doll when he was little. He's a cisgender man. If it worked the way transphobes think it does, we'd both be trans. I don't get their logic.
@@vikkitaggart7454 It's so funny that transphobes have decided that 'woke' parents are the ones not letting kids just enjoy things, regardless of gender. When transphobes are also the only people I have seen get upset at a little boy for playing with a baby doll or wearing a skirt.
So, a couple of things to mention here. First, the one about milking a bull reminded me of the discussion I had with some of my students yesterday about the difference between sex and gender which was sparked by the fact that we account for 3 sexes in livestock animals when determining nutritional requirements. For anyone confused by this the 3 sexes for livestock would be: intact male, castrated male, and female (for example, bulls, steers, and cows in cattle). Second, I find it interesting to note that many people get upset about drag queens reading to children, but don't say a word if Miss America reads to kids, even though high profile beauty pageants are much more sexualized than most drag shows.
True and true... And then those same people make their little girls get into beauty pageants in front of a 80% straight male judges crowd, and scream loud to groomer and molester when they see a trans person...
Great example with Miss America. I was thinking about a Swedish stand-up comedian whom I'm a big fan of, who usually has some very adult material in his shows, but who was once made to improvise a show in an elementary school, for kids. As expected, he adapted to the audience and told fart jokes instead of sex jokes. Can't remember anyone going "What is this comedian, who jokes about sex, religion and politics, doing performing for children!?!?"
@@sallywright8065, much of its physiology would be male. However, without the production of testosterone there will be differences in metabolism and growth, and without production of sperm their use will be very different from that of an intact male.
If you take all the pronouns out of the English language you get a very convincing caveman impression. Seeing as you can't say he, it, me, you, that etc. "Hangry is sitting in chair watching videos. Hangry must go to eat dinner. Other person eats dinner with Hangry tonight. Brad reads Hangry's comment. Hangry go eat dinner now."
I saw someone say "I don't have any pronouns" in a convo where people were talking about their prefs. I replied "My god, how do you even get through a conversation?"
@@jennytaylor3986 I also don’t use any pronouns. This is generally an unkind thing to say to us. A better answer is “okay, thanks for telling me!” as if the person had given you any other set of pronouns. It’s unpleasant to hear someone say “wow, that thing you find affirming sounds super difficult!”
I'm 46. I grew up in the 80s when mental health issues were called crazy. When lesbian or gay was the worst insult you could call somebody. I spent years denying my attractions! To make matters worse, I hated being born a girl! I always wished I was a guy. Always hated being expected to be ladylike or girly. I just couldn't understand other girls so most of my friends were guys. I never knew being trans was a thing till recently! But that doesn't change how almost everything I felt in childhood is a symptom of gender disforia! I was never even allowed to get my hair cut as a kid cause my dad said girls are supposed to have long hair. It was the 80s & I wasn't even allowed to have bangs or a perm! LOL the one thing about males that makes me the most Jealous is that they can go shirtless almost any time they want! I'm gender queer now but the idea of running around shirtless is the main thing tempting me about top surgery! So no, trans is not a new thing or a trend. There has simply been a name & options given to something that has been around forever!
I'm only a couple of years older than you, and I'm pretty much the mirror image of your story, because I hated being born a boy. I was so upset that I wasn't allowed to be a Girl Scout. I strongly preferred having friends who were girls, especially in early childhood. I hated having to take my shirt off at the swimming pool. I had this unshakable feeling that I had somehow been "cheated" out of my destiny of being a girl. I tried so hard to figure things out in college. I took a class called "Psychology of Gender", but it barely mentioned trans people. I was also seeing a therapist in college, and I told her I wished I was a woman, and all she said was "Why do you think you feel that way?" Even once I knew that trans people existed, I thought of it as "a weird thing that other people did", and not as something that applied to me. I finally figured out I was trans about six months ago, and that was only after avidly watching trans RU-vid for about a year.
The shirtless rules are so weird. Like afaik the idea is that tits are a turn on for men, thus they must be covered. But they can also be a turn on for gay women. On top of that, a man’s bare chest can be a turn on for straight women and gay men too. I’m all for either everyone having to cover or no one having to. Like who the hell cares?
@@Amara87387 I think we are slowly inching toward equality with "top freedom"/"free the nipple" movements. I know that in New York, women are not required to cover nipples anywhere that men are not required to. There are a number of countries that have had similar court cases, saying that traditional toplessness rules are sex discrimination. I suspect this will grow over time. That said, I don't think anyone should be required to reveal their nipples, either. We should normalize wearing swim shirts for men who want to. It should be an individual choice for everyone, not one dictated by gender.
I'm a teacher with 150 kids. I don't think normal kids exist. They are a myth. How boring my job would be without the beautiful diversity that walks into my classroom every day.
I’m a secondary school teacher and the idea we can change them is laughable! It’s a fight to get them to wear their blazers and take their earrings out!
Right? My granddaughter (7) refuses to believe that unicorns are not real (she's iffy on Santa), no matter what teachers, parents, or scientists say. NOBODY can convince her to change something as fundamental as her gender. LOL
@@corvidsRcool Well, they are! Sorta.... Historians think unicorns may have come about from fifth- or more hand descriptions of rhinos. Maybe with some narwhal thrown in.
my school gave up on the blazers thing because it wasn’t gonna happen with sixth formers. i mean this was the same school who entirely forgot to mention the existence of trans people when discussing the book burning of the Institute für Sexualvissenschaft in Berlin in 1933, and also treated the homophobic harassment i was subjected to as “just a personality clash” but…yeah they couldn’t even get us to wear our blazers so much they gave up on trying. some of my teachers did make a real impact on me…after i was already out and socially transitioning. i did get “don’t get mono at uni” from the music teacher who ran senior choir tho!
And yet they do it, and think they're the good guys. The only kind of freedom they understand is their kind of restricted, one-way-only, straitjacketed, hate-filled narrowmindedness.
@@zed9256 Boys clothes on girls is fine because these assholes are misogynistic af, and so malehood is something that should be sought and emulated. Until the wimenfolk grow up; then they have to stop that nonsense and submit to a "real" man so they can become brainless baby making factories. But boys dressing as girls is terrible, because they want to become the inferior sex, according to all these old white fascist dudes.
@@zed9256 You probably would get shit for it. Unless they wanted to use you as "proof" that trans people are invalid. They're totally okay with being cruel to women, gay people, trans people, etc. until they can be used against another group. First, it'd be "you're a feminazi who is destroying traditional gender roles!" and then it'd be "but you can't be transgender! look at her! she's just a masculine girl 🥺🥺" It's the same way they starting suddenly being okay with the existence of lesbians if it means conservatives can claim that trans women are trying to victimize them.
the thing that always gets me about people trying to ban "woke ideology" is that "woke" was (and still kinda is) originally a term used to say that a person is aware of the injustices of the world, instead of "sleeping on" them and being complicit, but they stole it as an insult they're _literally saying_ they want to hide all the bad things in the world
@@t1ff4nyall3n Republicans made it an insult and now nobody uses it in any other way. I don't blame you. I just always find it funny when they try to frame it as a bad thing.
Oh, but it's even worse: it was specifically about the injustices _of racism._ So any time these Arschtrompeten are disparaging "tEh WoKe" they are _approving of and supporting racism._
conservative: “i’m gonna insult lgbt people and call it a joke!!” lgbt people: “this isn’t funny it’s just being lame” conservative: “wow you guys sure can’t take jokes huh, all you do is just whine!!”
@@HangryOnPaws or more accurately “oh you’re making jokes about us? That must mean you have no logical arguments and therefore I win the internet (something that is both normal to want and possible to do)”
On the other end of the coin.. Child: I like wearing pink sometimes Conservative: But you're a BOY!! What, are you gay and transgender now? It was those woke drag Queens that did this to you, wasn't it?
It's not woke teachers making your kids open minded. As a former teacher, I can confirm that it's hard enough to get people to read the syllabus, let alone a lecture. It's the fact that they meet diverse people at school and online. (And that diversity usually increases in college.) They realize these "othered" people are good humans deserving of respect and dignity. It has noting to do with the teachers.
One of My best high school teacher was a history teacher I had in a couple classes. Specifically history of the Middle East and history of Russia/China which if you know anything about those you know he’s gotta get into Islam and communism and all the related things a lot. He even said Every time he taught those classes he’d get called a communist or terrorist by at least one parent and while he doesn’t actually say it to them he’d always think to himself “I teach all five major religions as well as go in depth into communism, socialism, and capitalism. Do I follow 5 different religions and am I simultaneously a capitalist, socialist and communist then?” He’s only teaching us what happened, not what makes us think a certain way. Often people in the class would discuss how each of these things worked and the teacher did what he’s supposed to and he participated but never gave his opinions or told us the “correct” way to see things. All I ever say to the people who want to ban info that contradicts what they want their kids to believe, afraid that they’ll believe it is that if you must have absolutely no opposition for your argument to sound reasonable than it’s probably your own argument that needs some correction.
@@RGamingBlastoise What they want is control of information. They don't want any other ways of life to be taught other than their own, and any other ways of life to be seen as heretical. Makes it easier to control people if you only teach them what you want them to believe. Education is essential for a person to grow and make well informed decisions in their life, and that's why all these bigots are against schools.
Which is the exact same reason that cities are also generally more progressive. When you interact with a wider variety of people, you tend to realize that stereotypes are just that, stereotypes. Plenty of human history shows that people are perfectly willing to be empathetic with others, adopt those who exist outside of their own society, and embrace new ideas and concepts. It's the people in power who like to dictate what people are allowed to be that are terrified of acceptance, because acceptance breeds solidarity, and solidarity breeds revolution. To steal a quote: "The need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that".
If you think about it, the meme with the ray of light transforming into a rainbow through the triangle was actually a r/accidentalally because the light was always rainbow, but the glass only made it visible. So you could interpret it as teachers that provide LGBT+ education help normal kids to figure themselves out. «trans kids » and « normal kids » are the same.
I met a young child who told me that they were trans, but their mom wouldn't let them. I felt so bad that their mom was like that. I hope they are okay in the future.
I thought I was going to transition from an ugly guy to an ugly girl 😂 turns out I was a hella cute guy and it was just the dysphoria that made me hate how I looked… and I’ve transitioned to a hella cute girl. 😅
The biggest jewel of Jamie's commentary... "TRANS PEOPLE ARE BORN TRANS, YOU CAN NOT MAKE PEOPLE TRANS". My add-on comment to this: Important message for clowns who think trans education in schools is transforming kids. Any kid who exhibits trans identity after learning about trans issues and identity in class, was almost certainly trans before learning about it but had no idea that there was a name for it and a dialogue for what they were feeling was different about them
Right? I knew I was a boy as far back as I can remember, I just didn't know what trans meant. And even through years of suppressing it, I never stopped being a guy.
These sharts made the same arguments about suppressing any and all information about the mere existence of gay men and lesbians. When in the end, it was just putting a label on what gay kids were already feeling.
Yep, I had someone claim that my best friend made me asexual. He's gay. But since I only came out as ace after meeting him he made me ace. The fact that I'd been saying for over a decade "I'm not attracted to anyone" is apparently irrelevant.
@@dutchvanl My experience was a little different. I always had a very strong feeling that I was "supposed to have been" a girl, and that I somehow got "cheated" out of my destiny. But I never thought of myself as a girl. I thought of myself as a boy who was supposed to have been a girl. Even after I found out about trans people, I initially thought they were somehow different than me. It was only after I started learning a lot about trans people that I realized that I was trans, too.
You cannot use detransitioners as an argument and then simultaneously disagree with more funding and easier access to things like gender clinics. That is the entire reason things like gender clinics and gender therapy exist, to prevent situations like detransitioners by making sure someone is actually trans and will benefit from medical transition.
@@alicine-sims8988 Don’t even get me started lmao it’s so nonsensical. People really can’t seem to grasp that trying to make others follow rules and laws based on your own religious belief is in fact intruding on other people’s right to religious freedom. Genius idea, maybe we should leave decisions about medical care up to the doctors who are qualified and actually know what they’re doing.
@@SystemError1466 it's never been about what they say it's about and all about maintaining power over women and keeping poor people poor by trapping them in a cycle of poverty. Abortions will always be available for the rich
@@ehrenyu Accurate, if they were really pro life they wouldn’t want to prevent gay people from adopting and they wouldn’t want to prevent trans people from accessing lifesaving care. They aren’t even pro forced birth, they’re pro forced Christian cishet birth. There are even abortion centers that open early to give abortions to rich Christians who pay a lot of money to keep it secret. Edit: Disclaimer, I know that not all Christians are like that and not all pro lifers are Christian, but the people that are like that are being the loudest and causing the most harm right now.
Despite speaking a language that genders every noun, I still don't get the pronoun outrage, seems like people are can't tell your gender immediately and get upset because they have to put effort into incorrectly gendering you, like when a transphobes genders you correctly, and fall over trying to misgender you.
I don't get the outrage either. I would hate it if someone misgendered me. I am a female car mechanic and I have really long hair in hopes they will gender me properly when they see me walking from behind. I think everyone hates to be misgenderd, so asking for a pronoun should be the standard
Their outrage is based on this ridiculous concept of "a polite request is the same as forcing someone else to use language that they would rather not use". Because one does not generally refer to one's self as their own pronouns trans folks are basically (according to bigots) demanding the right to force a bigot to use accurate language. They would rather not and thus get very very angry that they would even be asked to be accurate. What they don't seem to understand is if you want to be a d bag, no one's going to stop you. We obviously and clearly cannot actually force you to speak words. "A polite request" cannot change how much of a d bag you are. It's no different than all the trash surrounding Hogwarts Legacy. we politely asked people to not do a thing, and they chose to do it anyway. I mean congratulations you did the thing... You didn't do what I asked. You have every right to not do something that you were asked to do. Same with pronouns. They refused to have anyone even dare to *ask* them to be polite. Which is ridiculous because they still retain the right to be rude if they want to. It's particularly irritating though that they still demand gender conformity, because lacking pronouns it results in not knowing how to be a bigot towards someone. For instance on Twitter my listed pronouns are She/He. Bigots lose their complete heads because they don't know which one is accurate to my birth sex even though I often mention it, so that they can be mean towards me and make me feel bad. Lacking that knowledge results in complete and total Twitter meltdowns where they try to misgender me as a trans woman or try to misgender me as a trans man. Because likewise non-binary doesn't work, and bigender is just way over their heads. So incidentally they actually find pronouns intensely useful but not when they're ambiguous. The only reason why they're so irritated by pronouns is it is a mark of someone who supports trans people and they can't abide by that.
i also don’t get it because like…they insist they can “always tell” when they can’t (i’ve been told numerous times that i’ll never be a real woman, everyone knows i’m a man and that my periods aren’t real. i’m an afab nonbinary person). it’s just nuts. plus they insist that they’re not cis, but also that your gender and sex is always the same. like…wtf???
@@poisonedkilljoy9304 Im a Cis women with really long hair and stereotypical female Features. The amount of time it takes patients (Im an EMT) until they realise Im a women is sometimes comical. When Im wearing my hair in a bun and my uniform if my collegue didnt slip in an female collegue (in German every noun is gendered) they call me by male pronouns and nouns a pretty long time. And when they then realise their mistake they are completly convinced Im just the intern and don't know shit and also cant possibly carry them down 3 steps (My record is 140 kg patient plus 20 kg chair up and down to the 5th floor within an hour, that's roughly 352.7 lbs 10 floors!) And then they ask where the 2nd male is while ignoring me, which is great on a transport ambulance where Im the one with the highest "rank" and the responsiblity.... Although that's also were one of my best memories comes from we had a patient twice and the first time he made the same comments about me being a women and him weighing more than 50kg (110lbs) and living pretty high up. The second time we were there a few days later one of his mates was home as well to take care of a few things for him and the mate made the usual comments but this time the patient actually defended me and told him I'd been one of the most competent people hed had on his various rides and that my gender had nothing to do with it. That made my month Im not gonna lie.
Cis people disclosing pronouns provides camouflage; [allowing] trans people to disclose their pronouns without immediately outing themselves as trans. I suspect a lot of the opposition to puberty blockers for trans youth comes from the very real possibility on not being able to "always" tell if somebody is trans or no. Transphobes want it to be so dangerous to be trans that trans people are forced back into the closet.
I'm in a trans support group & there was this beautiful trans girl that did the BEST eye makeup. Her family was super transphobic & she ended up detransitioning cuz they were gonna disown her & she relied on them to survive. It broke my heart! I still think about her & wonder if she's OK. 😞
Oh no! I hope she’s ok now or at least will be soon... Transphobes are awful... especially the kind that would disown the kid they’re meant to be caring for, it breaks my heart 💔
It also makes 0 sense like bro I know which bathroom to use yall just don’t want me too💀. On top of this when I was pre everything and had like a Karen pixie cut I still got weird looks in the womens bathroom lmao
Them: "Are there any trans people in this bathroom? I need to check your genitals to make sure your not a pervert!" And yes, they are threatening to kill us. That's why we need to not back down.
I wonder how they'd feel about the Lavender Panthers then, LGBTQ+ people and allies who carry guns and probably know which bathroom to use better than transphobes do. The thought of armed minorities terrifies right wing gun nuts.
@@Nic0Dr4ws Right? I'm a cis woman but when I had my pixie cut I got misgendered SO OFTEN, my little brother used to get misgendered all the time too before he started growing facial hair 'cause he likes pink tee shirts and growing his hair out for sick kids. (It grows really fast so he can cut it like, once a year and send it in to make wigs.)
8:19 The fun thing with this meme is that white light is comprised of a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow, the prism just reflects light in a way that the colors get split. Almost as if the children were queer in the first place, and they just needed some reflection (whether prompted by a teacher or something else) to truly shine as their true selves.
8:23 i went to an all girls school growing up, and had “woke” teachers. i came out at 15 to my friends, 16 more generally. i had 1 teacher in my ENTIRE time at school who talked about trans people. i had that teacher for sociology in sixth form. even in periods of history where we know trans people existed and were persecuted (such as nazi germany), no trans people were mentioned. We talked about the steps the Nazis took before the holocaust - including the book burnings - INCLUDING HIRSHFELD’S INSTITUTE FOR SEXOLOGY WHICH HELPED PIONEER MEDICAL TRANSITION AND ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED TRANS PEOPLE. trans people were not mentioned once. i did my history gcse course from 2016 to 2018. we did extensively discuss the parallels between the rise of the Nazis to the 2016 US presidential election (my history teacher was also a politics teacher), but not once were trans people mentioned. after I came out, only 3 or 4 teachers gendered me correctly. in a “woke” feminist school. 1 of them didn’t even teach me any more! she just took the time to learn my new name and pronouns so she wouldn’t misgender me if she ran into me! every other goddamn teacher would misgender me, and always use gendered language for EVERYTHING. even my second year sociology teacher would do this - and we had 5 boys from the boys school (all of whom, to my knowledge, were cis)! trans people weren’t even mentioned until 18 months after i’d cracked the egg, until after i’d changed my name (i did so before sixth form cos you can do it at 16, and i really didn’t want to wait until uni, and it seemed like a good time to do it). oh, and it took me fighting the school about changing my name on the register. they’d put it at a nickname when i had LEGALLY CHANGED MY NAME AND BROUGHT THEM THE FUCKING LEGAL DOCUMENT SHOWING THE LEGAL NAME CHANGE. my deadname legally WAS NOT MY FUCKING NAME and the school refused to change it until i marched down to reception and basically had to go full Karen at them about the fact it was a LEGAL FUCKING NAME CHANGE. my school was NOT supportive (beyond a couple of teachers), did NOT teach about trans issues (even when relevant, exception being a level sociology), and treated the homophobic harassment i was subjected to as a PERSONALITY CLASH (they did this most likely because the homophobic girl was using her religion to “justify” it, and she was a student of colour, and i am not, and they thought the PTA would think it was some white kid making a fuss about a student of colour’s religion even though she was LITERALLY BREAKING THE DAMN LAW. and religion is no excuse for bigotry. but the school was very diverse and that’s how some parents might have taken it, as some of the parents were also absolute homophobes as well)
It never fails to amaze me how other Americans, who are almost certainly old enough to have taken civics and government in high school like I did, will still try to pretend that separation of Church and State is a new idea being imposed on The Youth. I have a friend who began her transition in her 50s. She's in her early 60s now. She wasn't conventionally attractive before and she still isn't, but she's so much happier now.
So I'm a cis women, and I enjoy entertaining children. I also like strip teasing my spouse. Yet I never mix up the entertainment methods between the two. So you won't find me reading a touch and feel book to my spouse, and I will NEVER strip tease a child. Weird how I can keep that straight and people trust me with their children, but if a man decides to dress like a woman and read a touch and feel book to a child, then go to an 18+ event and strip tease, it's suddenly immoral. And the possibility of him mixing up the two is too much! And because of that drag queen, ALL trans people MUST be the same! Get over yourselves transphobes! Everyone has the ability to judge their audience and act accordingly! And just because drag queens exist, doesn't mean trans people are drag!
I'm not entirely convinced the people who genuinely think drag queens and trans girls are predators aren't pxdofiles themselves. If they can't imagine doing something cute without using it to prey on children, what kind of icky person must they be.
I liked the "It's not a Christmas tree" one. Yes, the intention is of course to slander the "woke" people... who "promote their deviant lifestyle while canceling the good and wholesome traditions of the normal people." But at the core... it is correct. "Christmas trees" aren't a christian tradition. They are not deliberately pagan either... but based on old pagan traditions a lot more than any christian theology. And, if you consider it... yes, they are trees all fancied up... just like drag performers tend to be. We should embrace that. We should start to call them "drag trees" and promote their appearence in public spaces. And while I don't generally agree with doing something to "own the other side"... it would be amusing to see the right-wingers choke on their biggotery and throw these now icky trees on the trash, just like they try to do with rainbows.
The bible actually condemns decorating trees for holy celebration. Anyway, yes I agree with you. Sexists and lgbtq+ phobes reject nice things that are embraced by the communities they hate, and it's kinda sad, but also funny. Their loss.
In college, my floor in the dorm had a holiday decoration which looked remarkably like a Christmas tree, but we called it the "non-denominational holiday shrub". We also had a holiday gift exchange which we called "Secret Satan".
Not too long ago I was explaining to a transphobic person why I was trans and what it was. I was a scouting event (boy scouts/ BSA and they had the girls and the boys separated; I was put with the girls because of my sex.) Long story short this is how our conversation went: him:“well if you’re a guy why don’t you just sleep in the guys section?” Me: “would you be comfortable with me sleeping in the same section as you?” Him: “no because you still have the female parts.” Me: “I don’t sleep on that side because I don’t want to make people like you uncomfortable. I know the other boys don’t have a problem with me, it’s just you.” Him: “I pray that god will rescue you.” Me who’s an atheist: “yeah he ain’t gonna rescue me anytime soon. And why should I change to go to this haven if your gonna be there? Sounds more like a hell to me.” He never said a word to me again 👍
The light prism rainbow one is fun, because light already has all the frequencies for the different colors of the rainbow, so the prism just reveals them. So nice teachers actually allow students to understand themselves and have a safe space to come out. Beautiful.
why does your community lets zoos in their conventions and sound when you defend your community 1 to 1 as a zoo ? the furry community needs to learn about your history and needs to set big fat boundaries and gatekeeping. because i am scared that zoos uses the furry community as a let in to the lgbtq+ community and then the big oardeal about lgbtq+ is mentally ill cause they fuck animals again. it is really scary because of that. and yes all the information can be found on the internet.
@@NekoChanSenpai there is also an unfortunately large sect of bigots in the furry community since the community tends to accept outsiders. Nazifurs is a real problem after all unfortunately.
The reason is that memes aren't funny when they're used to try and make a message rather than find people who already have one. People kinda need to relate to a joke to laugh at it. You're valid, Jamie. Keep going, sir.
Exactly, there's no punchline or any comedic premise put into these memes, it's just straight up insults that other transphobes can laugh at and go "haha yeah I know right they're so dumb".
I think most far right humor doesn't work because it violates Chaplin's formula for comedy. He said that comedy is pain plus distance, with the example of someone falling on the sidewalk(pavement). If it happens across the street it's comedy. If it happens in front of you so you can see the pain on their face and the blood on their palms it's tragedy. Right wing 'comedy' always removes the distance and shoves the pain in your face. Who wants to laugh at a crying kid?
Sadly bigots in general have little to no education. If they had education they wouldn't be spewing such hateful rhetoric. Love you sibling and am so glad I found you on the interwebs.🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Crazy how people who spend time around queer people aren't bigots towards them. Maybe it's because when you talk to them you actually learn about them and find out they're nothing like the fascist anti-queer propaganda?
That's why various states are passing laws banning real education. Can't have the kiddies finding out the truth of things. Then they won't be loyal, hateful little cultists anymore.
i had been thinking for very long now, that the concept of learning once "for life" nowadays is VERY outdated. we should include mandatory rounds of updated education later in life & normalize it as much as, say, getting certain health check-ups tied to certain ages. Like going age 7-17 round 1 (then one year community service anywhere on the globe or in your home country), then later rounds could be much shorter periods, but aimed at communicating the UPDATED science & also actually useful stuff. like, dunno 1 month full-time school every 5 years, or one year even, updating & learning bout taxes, child raising strategies, psychology & (mental) health, etc.
I am so sorry in regards to people who hide behind religion--especially Christianity--as a "reason" to be homophobic or transphobic. As always, God bless, and shall keep working on talking to people who just don't understand and don't want to understand that people are all worthy of basic human rights and respect. Thanks for the video Jamie! It's always great to see the trainwreck that is transphobia!
Thank you fellow supportive Christian! (Idk if you are also lgbtq+ or not) I’m a teenage bisexual Christian and it made my evening to see another not hateful Christian ❤️ God bless you, the world needs more people like you :)
@@jewelcurrie345 I try to make positive comments on these videos for that exact reason! I'm genderfluid, asexual, and pan romantic, so hello fellow lovely queer Christian! Having finished the teenage years, I wish you luck with it all. Praying that you are able to surround yourself with a great community in the coming years. God bless!
Random Fae: may I have your pronouns? Me: sure my pronouns are they/them. Random Fae: **takes them and dips them in chocolate** Me: hey wh-...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Random Fae: **hands them back** I made you some pronoun candy! You're welcome. Me: uhh...thank you? I think?
My first reaction to you mentioning giving the fae your pronouns was 'no, giving the fae your name gives them power over you so I wouldn't risk handing over your pronouns either just in case!' On the other hand, the fae don't seem like the kind of folk who would care much for gender at all so they may be way more flexible about pronouns than even the most accepting humans. They would find plenty to disrespect humans on I think, but I get the feeling that they'd find it an incredibly strange and pointless concept to use the wrong pronouns to disrespect someone like tranaphobes do
My trans daughters husband had to wait till both his parents died before he could transition , he just turned 40 that is just not right ! Since he started his transition I have never seen him smile like he does now !
On the note of being gendered correctly, my building's Maintenance called me 'sir' the other day (as in, "have a good day, sir"), and I was literally elated for the rest of the afternoon. The only screaming I was holding in then was screams of delight XD
Do these people also have a problem with pantomimes (panto dames, typically a male actor dressed in drag, normally for comedic purpose. Also, in some panto, the 'prince' characters or a male lead is often played by a woman) ?? And Shakespeare (women weren't allowed to be actors at the time, so female characters were often portrayed by teenage boys)? So we're basically scrapping most of theatre in general then right?
Exactly! I've been saying this for years. Not to mention within voice acting young boys are usually voiced by women so they can have the higher pitch without a lisp or voice cracks. Orel Puppington, Bart Simpson, Timmy Turner and Jimmy Neutron are all voiced by women.
During every war in recent history, there have been some of the soldiers dressi g up as women and performing comedy and singing along in high pitched voices and other soldiers watching it having a whale of a time... Cross-dressing men are a very old tradition
As a Non-Binary human, I don't understand the hatred. Pronouns are just words, they aren't gonna bite you. Is it that hard to be kind and use a different word?
Not allowing people to detransition without giving them grief is like saying no one is allowed to make mistakes. And just because someone believes they made an error in transitioning, doesn't give them the right to try and interfere with another person's right to transition. People need to learn to live their own lives and quit interfering with the way others live their lives.
Well, children are immature, and there is a responsibility to protect children from life-altering decisions, such as vaping & driving drunk. You (the child) and your gender specialist have to be absolutely certain that puberty blockers are the best course of action, and that don't come hastily. It's like getting your tubes tied.
@@ShinyTillDawn Puberty blockers are also prescribed to cis children for precocious puberty. They are completely reversible. It is cross-sex hormones, prescribed later in life, that can lead to infertility.
@@jamesphillips2285 No transphobe brings that up, though! I'm going to have to check websites like the NIH to dispel the mixed signals I hear about puberty blockers.
Whenever I see people kicking off about letting drag queens near children it really makes me laugh, because all the drag acts I’ve ever seen are singers and/or comedians. Like, these lunatics seem to have gotten drag mixed up with burlesque or something, when really they might as well be shouting, “You think I’d let my child watch A MAGICIAN?!”
Something I heard once that I really like is "there's 8 billion types of normal in the world". Normal for me isn't normal for anyone else in the world.
I assure you that there's 0 chance that you are the only person worldwide with your type of normal. Even the most rarest type of normal occurs in a minimum of two ppl in history! Nope, you're NOT alone, no matter your circumstances!
@Kat. Thanks for the kind words :) I should clarify that I didn't mean it as feeling alone in the world, only that everyone is different. The unique combination of factors that make up you (everything from you genetics, culture, upbringing, personality, education, beliefs, etc.) are unique to you. No one else in the world has your body, has had the exact same experiences as you or led the life you have. We are all individual, unique and special. We should see ourselves as normal to us, even if we stand out and are different from everyone around us. We do all need to realise that about everyone, though. Once we accept that, then maybe we can accept people for who they are and start to show support, rather than telling people they need to change to fit others view of what they should be (yes, I'm going through this in my life right now too. I'm already taking steps to get out of the situation I'm in, so I'm feeling relieved that I realised it before it got too bad).
The conflation of gender with sex really gets my goat and I point it out whenever I get the chance. I feel like understanding that nuance is the first step to really understanding what it means to be not cisgender
"Normal" is when a cis boy and girl are good friends, and then people call them "boyfriend and girlfriend" so many times that they stop being friends because everyone made it weird. /s
It’s even worse. One of my teachers in high school saw me walking home with a girl. She said “who were you walking with? Was that your girlfriend?” In my head I said “ma’am…I’m gay.” But I said “…that was my sister.”
And likewise butch transfemmes are real too. Honestly transition goals for me are to get to a stage where I could rock a pixie cut and still be read as female. I've been growing my hair out for over a decade, but I'd love to get more butch in my presentation while still being feminine.
Little kids always have the BEST reactions to stuff happening in the story. They're SO invested! If I ever get him finished, I'm going to have my fluffy rainbow snake puppet read little kids' books. I'm not sure if there is any place local to me where I'll be able to do it but if all else fails, I'll just make videos for my friends in other states to show THEIR kids. I just want them to think that books are cool, and a colorful zany character holds their attention better than a plain ol' person in boring clothes.
And these people don't look at anyone else and ask "Why do they want access to children?!". Not other story time readers, not performers hired by the schools, not scout masters or pastors or Elmo... With those last three all having a history of touching kids. No, those people are "safe" because these people would rather risk their kids to SA then "the gay agenda".
I feel comfortable saying without a doubt that that doggo doesn’t care what genitals their mommy/daddy/owner is. Doggo just wants to give and receive love. Be like Doggo. 🐾
thank you for like, bringing up gender identeity and gender expression being different. It took me so long to realise i was trans/nonbinary because I *liked* feminine clothes and skirts and makeup! I still do! It's very fun! and its very comforting to hear a trans man say that your presentation doesnt change your identity because I frequently feel "not trans enough" to call myself transmasc, or use the flag, etc etc. so thank you, it makes my heart happy :)
2:14 Well... Since coming out and being my true self, I somehow have gotten a lot more self-confidence (I wonder why or how that works) and have gotten a LOT of new friends who are all awesome and queer
@@upliftothers4599 Well someone's gotta stick out for queer people. And I can't really expect others to stick out for me if I don't do the same for them. In summary: every trans woman is my sister, every trans man is my brother and every enby is my sibling
I have felt soo much more isolated and awkward to talk to people since I came out because I am scared they will immediately judge me but I have gotten a lot closer to the friend I already had and I am a lot happier in general. Especially since I came out officially in my college the secon d year or college soo I feel like I am going to disturb other peoples friendship groups.
For the first meme: true, I made a lot of friends after I transitioned, but that's more because I have more confidence now. And I had plenty of conventionally attractive features before I transed, thank you very much. It was a pleasant surprise to find out I was still attractive after my transition. Still would have done it even if it made me "ugly" whatever that means. That said, there is nothing cuter than someone who is truly happy and comfortable in their own body, hands down
my mom uses the argument "people are going to be confused about dogs!! 'well i just don't know how i got all these puppies' 'well you have a boy dog and a girl dog' 'well I wasn't sure how they IDENTIFIED so i don't know how i got all these puppies'" as if dogs have anything to do with human lgbt issues💀💀💀💀💀💀
As a future parent, it makes me sad that others are still being close minded with their child/children. If my kid realizes they're trans, wants to wear dresses, etc, I'll support them. I'd rather they figure themselves out and be happy than not.
Recently a man denied his kid medical care for his broken ankle because the hospital required masks. So the answer to your question is - yes she would deny her child dental care, because they are that rabidly awful about it.
I know I'm only one meme in but seriously man wtf is up with transphobs-_- ah yes I am transitioning specifically because I have no friends and am unattractive. I used to say I would rather be an ugly ass boy then a good looking girl (I still feel that way now lol) I came out over 10 years ago and lost basically all my friends because at the time being trans wasn't really a well known subject and wasn't as accepted as it is today. Anyways on with the video lol *edit* just thought I'd add this quickly, my mum was never the most accepting person in the world but she supports and accepts me as a transman because in her words "she would rather have an alive son than an unalive daughter". Its been over 10 years since I came out and she is now much more accepting of everything lgbt. When someone finds out they are having a baby people says oh is it a boy or a girl and the parents tend to say oh we don't care as long as it's happy and healthy but then some parents forget that when it comes to their kids if they come out. It's so stupid. I just wish more parents were like my mum, she wasn't always accepting but she loved me enough to care and grow as a person ♡ Im more than happy to be people's random transuncle on the Internet for anyone who needs it ♡ You are not alone ♡♡
7:19 it's also to be noted that there exists a fish which transitions from a female to male, a very helpful tactic in protecting their territory, and is known as Kobudai
A little while after I told my mom I was trans, I guess she was trying to figure out "why", and asked me "if you were prettier would you want to stay a girl?"......... Ok first off, thanks for calling me ugly? I said it's not about that! Like, I could be a supermodel and if I'm trans, then I'm trans. Even if I knew I was going to turn out a horribly ugly man, I'd still transition, because I'm not a girl. It took her 4 years to call me my chosen name, masc pronouns, etc. Which I don't understand. She knows, and she even said this to me years after my transition, "well when you were a kid everybody thought you were a boy".... Yes, exactly. And she would always "correct" people, saying I was a girl. I also got the "are you a boy or a girl?" Question a lot. Even long out of school, kids ask things. So, I never had an answer to that question, because I knew I wasn't a girl, but couldn't exactly say I was a boy. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ It's sooooo ridiculous!
I'm trans(but not openly trans) and had my birthday in June this year. My sister visited and when on my birthday I started playing harry styles on the speakers she went on a rant that no one prompted about how disgusting feminine men and masculine women are, and how trans people are sick and that it's good/okay that many of them kill themselves. She's always been a bully, but I've never seen that level of bigotry before in my life. It truly gives me perspective of how far some people go in their baseless hatred toward random people who just want to be left alone. I also find it strange that she's the same person that used to force me to wear dresses and make up when we were kids, even tho I'm amab.
Random opinion: Animals don't have gender, only sex. Although if they do have gender, we don't understand their social groupings enough to get it. (I have often wondered if my pet birds had any notion of myself as female, my ex as male. In birds, males are typically more colorful and have higher voices than the females.)
I’m pretty sure at least some, if not all animals have some form of gender. Hyenas, for instance, have females as the completely dominant, while males aren’t and have to act submissive. Their behavior in packs seems way more like gender than sex. The main thing about humans is simply that we can describe what it’s like to have a gender, as we are self-aware where no other animal is (as far as we know). Maybe I’m wrong, but quite a few animals seem to display some form of gender
@@ElizabethsLizard Animals that can recognize themselves in mirrors, and animals that can learn enough of our language to know their own and others' names, seem to me to qualify as self-aware. I agree that in most cases we don't understand much of what their minds are like.
Personally, I would assume sentience is a basic requirement, but beyond that, I don't see any reason why a sentient, self-aware animal can't have some form of gender, even if its nothing like how we understand it.
I’ve never really thought about it though I think they probably do, though cause they’re animals and we can’t really talk to them it’s near impossible to identify until the day where we can go into a brain and determine it’s gender. Also considering gender is all the funky brain stuff, wouldn’t all the differences in how animals act depending on gender, which are very common in animals obviously, qualify? Just a random interesting thing to think about
@@Missingno_Miner I guess animals have gender in the sense that their brains are sexed before birth in a similar way ours are and that tells them what they're supposed to be. So I guess animals could experience some form of sex dysphoria, or maybe they aren't as elaborate as we are and they simply act as if they were the sex their brain tells them to be. Also plenty of animals are sentient but very few are sapient. But even in sapient species it's still going to very difficult to measure and determine whether or not conditions like gender dysphoria or some analogue of transness exists in because they don't form societies the same way or to the same degree of complexity as humans do.
True, that dinosaurs are cool, and transphobia is not! "Fun" fact: the biggest transphobes I know happen to be a couple of narcissists who thrive on drama. They yelled at me for misgendering their dog, but also purposely misgendered one of my kids. And they're mad that I quit communicating with them. 😇 Dr. Jamie, please, please, please give us some wholesome stuff soon! 🙏❤🏳🌈🏳⚧
Lmao.when I came out as enby to my mom I sent her a video saying g "your child is nonbinary" and she responded "okay, you're nickname is kitkat instead of ladybug now"
Everytime I see memes along the line of "why do drag queens want an audience of kids", I'm reminded of the Al Murray line (a satirical comedian who played the classic "I'm not racist, but" person): "Speaking for the people who would string up anyone who wants to be a teacher, just in case". Because that's it, they can't imagine anyone wanting to do a nice thing for kids without getting something in return, so they assume there's a nefarious purpose behind it
What I find funny is people say this is an ideology that is learned. I was never taught anything about lgbt growing up except that they are gross and should be avoided as they are going to hell. I’ve known since I was 5 that I like boys and girls. And I’ve known I was a boy since my earliest memories. I’ve always been a boy. My family hated it. My teachers called me slur and made fun of me along with the other kids. I’m only 27, but I dealt with so much transphobia and homophobia that if this was a choice, I would’ve chosen to stay cis many years ago. But that’s not how it works. We are who we are, it’s wired in our brains. Everytime someone asks when I knew I was a man, I ask them the same question. When did you know you were cis, or straight? You just know. It’s the same thing with people like us. I had no support growing up and I still don’t have much support now. But I’m myself and I couldn’t be happier. I’m living my truth. And no one can take that away from me.
Never did a single teacher ever say a thing about sexuality. Not straight, not gay, not asexual, NONE of my teachers said a thing. So I can't figure out what these trolls are talking about....😂😆 Stupid is NOT sexy.
@@melissabarrett9750 if remember right that my biology teacher explained that people I jest not Drink bull "milk" because it has high amounts of teostrone but now that said this cursed info now everyone is cursed to know this.
18:02 And the people complaining don't even go and watch the story hour or drag shows. They just get told something is "bad", and then are set loose in a specific direction. Like, watch a show or sit through a story hour and then maybe I'll consider caring about what you have to say.
All education should be taught in a neutral way as much as possible. Both religion and LGBTQ topics. Just "it exists, and some people believe this, some people are born like this and that's okay"
Id argue that trans folks are more attractive after transitioning, not because of the actual physical changes necessarily but because of how much happier and more confident they are. Their appearance didn't level up, their rizz did.
On the topic of gender expression not necessarily equaling gender identity: My 6 year old niece wore dresses for over a year before she started going by she/her pronouns. She's autistic so it wasn't super child-led in that she approached my sister to say "hey, I'm a girl" but my sister did what I think any parent should do and let her child wear what she wanted. We didn't know if she preferred dresses because they were more comfortable sensory wise for her or she just liked them but just wasn't raised with gender norms so didn't know she was "supposed to" not wear dresses or like pink and unicorns and long hair so much as a boy, but since she didn't have the necessary level of communications to understand the concept of gender we just let her be herself. My sister and I used they/them pronouns (our parents and her father struggled with this but have no problem with she/her), and for even longer than that I've referred to them as my "nibblings" instead of my niece and nephew. Then a little before her 6th birthday my sister said "do you know whether you're a boy or a girl yet" and she said "I'm a GIRL. I like being a girl". And on the topic of kids not being transphobic when it's not taught... I told my son (9, likely also autistic) that his "brother-cousin" (my sister and I and her ex lived together for a few years when our kids were young so they were kind of more like siblings) was a girl and told him about the discussion my sister had with her and he just repeated what I said (this is a tendency of his when he's trying to process something), nodded, and then immediately started using she/her pronouns and has only very rarely slipped up and reverted to he/him.
about the “0 religion is to be talked about at school” thing.. at my school, we have a whole SUBJECT dedicated to different religions and viewpoints, AND they allow lgbtq+, how are people so dense that they think 2 things cant co-exist?
4:44 You've sort of stumbled onto it, Jamie. No, there has never been a ban on having Christmas trees in schools. This meme was probably made in response to the fact that Dedham Library in Dedham, Massachusetts announced it's plans to NOT put up a Christmas tree last year. They did this because they didn't want to bombard people who don't celebrate Christmas or who might have certain triggers or traumas around the holiday with the imagery. BUT, after public backlash, they did end up putting up a Christmas tree in the end.
to answer your question about whether some people actually think that trans people are looking for something to be mad about, yes, there's people who absolutely think that. Had a fight with my mom and while she's generally accepting of it she did accuse me of "just wantinmg to have something to be mad about" after I told her not to make jokes about purposefully deadnaming me, or I've had someone say "You hear what you want to hear" after I misheard them using the wrong pronouns and automatically corrected. It's such a strange and disrespectful take to me.
I went to a conservative leaning college for a while and, in trying to figure out who I could have an honest conversation with I asked the following. "Hey, if you have a daughter who wants to go trick-or-treat-ing as Aragorn, would you let her?" Usually the answer was "sure, why not?" "Alright, what if you had a son who wanted to go as Arwen?" You found out real quick who held double standards, who didn't, and more importantly, who were willing to actually think about their preconceived ideals. I had one guy say no to both. Another guy, who I considered a pretty good guy over all, when asked about a son dressing as Arwen, without hesitation, claimed he'd beat his son. I hope to GOD he was joking (not funny at all) but wow did I learn a thing or two that day. O.O
The funny thing about the light going through a prism is they are the same light. The prism allows the light to be seen and understood in a more nuanced and complete way.
Fun fact: clownfish transition, the the alpha male fish will take on the role of the female if there is no female and they will over the course of a couple years transition from male to female.
I remember when I was like ten I was telling friends about how parrotfish can transition and everyone said i was lying lmao i was a kid who watched animal planet the most out of any channels so i was like "nah yall are fucking stupid I literally saw it on a documentary" smartphones weren't common yet so we couldn't ask one of our parents to look it up
The attractiveness "argument" makes me think of Andreja Pejić. She was _very_ attractive and _very_ popular as a male cross-dressing supermodel, so this "argument" really makes no sense at all. (And even after transitioning, she is a very popular and very beautiful supermodel.)
5:07 okay so I hate when people say that “religion isn’t allowed to be talked about in school” because literally my school has an entire club surrounding religion. It’s a small club yes, but nobody ever gets in trouble for saying their religion.
Me and a friend decided to try talking entirely without pronouns, just going noun purist for 30 min in an experiment of how silly it would sound. It was like cosplaying stoneage humans abd sounded so dumb. I can highly recommend it for a laugh
