@Lucy it's her dress, please don't spread this kind of this on Jamie's channel. Maybe try and watch some of his videos where explains things about trans people. Thats what I am spending all weekend doing because even though I hope I am an ally I still need to learn.
Nothing is wrong with you, nothing is wrong with your sister and I hope your mom will learn that sooner than later. Stay safe, stay positive and remember that life can and will get better.
sounds like your mom needs some professional help. It's not healthy to be that worried about what other people think. And it's absolutely okay to point that out to her. She needs to be more independent emotionally, for her own safety and yours.
A bit off topic, but my first binder showed up yesterday, and I AM SO HAPPY! 😊🏳️🌈 Edit: thank you so much to everyone that commented with their support! I was able to get top surgery a few weeks back and am so grateful to have this happen. I wish the best for you all, have a wonderful day😊💛
Cortney Cline I’d really advise you to do actual research on topics before commenting on them. Nobody will take you seriously when you’re so obviously uneducated on the subject.
Im a straight cis male and i recently found your channel and i instantly fell in love with you and your content. your such a beacon of positivity and hope in these dark and awful times. Everyone deserves love and acceptance no matter what. keep on doing what you are doing. much love and more power to you
@@gozuvelasco1042 That is sad. I had something like that happen, on YT, and that hurt :( . When it's public, it's even worse. I wish you well, and hope you get what you're truly looking for.
*Over emotional nb person* (Me): *Crying* Family: Why are you crying? Me: I'm not crying you're crying *Hides in hoodie* Edit: thanks for the likes guys I didn't think this would be that relatable but I guess I was wrong And to everyone in the comments thanks and I totally understand that
Oh my god I remember seeing that first ad and I was so confused because I didn't get she was trans - there's also am alternate ending to that one where one of the women goes "Hey, I love your dress!" after she leaves the stall :)
Man, I just want some openly trans characters in kids shows. That could help so many people. I'll do it myself if I have to. I'll make a show that's like some action kids show but the main character is trans and that's a part of their life and they talk about it and they have issues related to it but it's not the focus of the show. Just, having trans people existing and being open and fighting the bad guys. Cause like, I exist, I'm alive and I have goals and struggles outside of my transness, but it's still an important part of me. I wanna show that to trans kids.
In Sweden we do have a kids tv-series about a trans child. It's called "tvillingarna bob" (the bob twins). It's about Olga and Bamse that was born as girls but Bamse knew he was a boy so now he is. It's really Good! My kid loves that show!
They used to have a ton of wheelchair characters in different kids shows in the 90s. Despite me not being physically disabled that still made me so happy because to me it showed people cared to not shut out those not in the majority. Like Garrett Miller of Extreme Ghostbusters. I really liked the entire cast of that show, even. I really hope they have more GSRM characters in shows, without it being any kind of big deal, from now on. Like random different background characters also including those with jewellery, tattoos, or fashion, in an organic way that show they aren't heteronormative, among the many background characters that don't. And that main characters have more GSRM traits that aren't treated like a big deal or noteworthy, just yet another part of who they are. It was such a big deal when tv shows started having non-joke trans characters e.g. in Ugly Betty. It has made me really happy to see more NB and genderqueer characters recently in shows too. :3
Hi Jamie, I was really sad because I had a meeting with CPS and they mentioned my gender identity to my mom. My mom told her that I can't go back to my old therapist because she told me it was okay to be trans. So that was stressful to sit threw. I'm glad you popped up in my recommendations (I've been a fan for a while but I stopped watching for some months now) this made me so happy and warm. I feel so accepted when I watch your videos :)
Hey, I’m really sorry about what’s happening, I know things will seem difficult now, but they will get better. Even the most unaccepting people can come round in time, and even if they don’t, you’ll have independence one day to make your own accepting friends 😊
I'm so sorry about what happened to you and I hope things get better soon. But I also gave your post the 69th like if that makes you feel better. I'm not joking about this, but joking about things is the only way I know how comfort people
I just wanted to say that if an LGBT+ kid comes out at school they should legally be not allowed to tell the family because it's potentially endangering a child also great video, you're a fantastic person Jamie :)
I first realised I was trans from watching your channel. I'm 32 and had been telling myself I couldn't be trans because I have feminine traits and manorisms. I'd watched a few trans youtubers who seem to police the community and only really seem to agree with the binary trans who believe that unless you have known since you were like 6 and never doubted yourself then your not truely trans . When I found your chanel you seemed so real and not afraid to be your true self without overdoing the whole "I have to be really masculine" thing. I'm rambling now but just wanted to let you know your chanel has got me to this point of being out for a year and currently waiting for an assessment to start T through gendercareuk. Thanks for the positivity ❤️❤️❤️
I am 20 and genderqueer and I felt the same! Through quarantine, I came to realize I am not cis and have been feeling super invalid because I did not "always know" and have feminine traits/mannerisms as well. I am doing research into T and top surgery, the latter to be after college because school is hella expensive haha. Good luck on your journey!!!
As another person who also experienced these doubts, you're not alone. I doubted it myself, a lot, lots of denial. It took the reminder that cis people don't think about being the opposite gender or opposite sex frequently unless directly prompted frequently for me to start breaking down that denial. Cisgender people don't just repeatedly go back and ask themselves, but what if I'm not trans, what if I'm just confused?
As an older Trans Girl who has only just discovered herself, I've drawn inspiration from this beautiful video. Thank you for the lovely upload. BTW you owe some tissues.
"Lad gaverne tale" just means "let the present speak" as in the actions speaks louder than words, and it is Danish, I didn't even know Elgiganten had that ad, it is a very big store in Denmark
Im so proud of my country, the last one was Danish, and im so happy. In danish its called "lykkelig" what im feeling, basically means you feel lucky and deeply, deeply happy and gratefull. And "lad gaverne tale" betyder let the presents speak. So yeah, basically actions speak louder than words
I was literally holding back tears because of homophobic stuff that are happening in my country (and in the world) before I saw this video, thank you SO MUCH for this I really needed it💛💛💛
“Lad Gavern Tale” translates to “Let the gifts talk.” In an age where it is fashionable to rail against the commercialism of Christmas, this simple ad reminds that sometimes the right present can speak volumes.
I saw the ‘Lad gaverne tale’ advert a bunch this last Christmas season - and it totally made my heart sing every single time!!! As others have said - the translates to ‘ let the gifts/presents speak’... Or more loosely translated - ‘say it with gifts’... Here in Denmark we have a floral boutique chain that has ‘say it with flowers ( or wine or chocolate or or or’ as their catchfrase - So I think that’s why elgiganten chose the other wording ;) And for the curious ones - Elgiganten is a huge chain of electronic stores that sell everything from tvs/computers to phones and to washing machines ;)
I cried too, yes, and I'm not trans, there's just been a lot of SHIT going on lately and this video is so beautiful. Very helpful and positive in the midst of... a mess. 💜💜💜
I just watched Disclosure a few days ago, so when you said "I don't remember any positive representation in media" and... it's so true. There's been so much negativity for so long as we grew up and Disclosure highlighted that. I'm glad things are starting to change.
these adverts are as wholesome as Jamie also thank you for being here for us all Jamie you always make my dah when im feeling down jamie you will always be my happy support
Wait at the end of the first ad I thought I heard one of the girls say “I love your dress”, like if you listen closely. So they saw Dana and complemented her and accepted her. I didn’t notice that the first time watching this.
Pure strangeness ayeeeeee hamilfans uniteee. But tbh I love Hamilton and my name is also Alexander so i thought it’d be funny to have my username Alexander Hamilton lol
I'm not trans, but it's so wonderful to see the joy of trans people seeing positive representation. For any of my trans darlings scrolling through the comments, have a virtual hug.
Hi Jamie, your videos are so inspirational and today, I came out to my friend, he was super supportive and I cried happy tears... thank you for making such amazing, powerful and inspirational videos... 💙💗💟💗💙 And he actually was really happy and said AND I QUOTE "I'm actually a little jealous" I am lost for words, it was the greatest moment of my life...
I also wept at the first commercial - especially with all the news as of late. I have a younger sister who's trans and I am so glad she was born in a time where she can become an adult NOW, versus twenty years ago. I cannot wait for her to become an older member of the community to be an example of trans happiness for someone in the future. We need representation of the HAPPY parts of being trans in tow with the the hard parts. It is so important to show that being trans isn't a burden, it's a happiness and joy in one's true identity. It is hard to do so in society. WE can change that. And ads like this start that conversation. I know it will continue.
Hey Jamie I came out to my family today as ftm trans and I'm lucky to have a supportive family. I wouldn't have came out if it wasn't for you so I wanted to say thank you so much.
how was this so damn well timed, like an hour ago i dealt with the first trans/enbyphobia i've dealt with (i'm afab and have very recently started questioning my whole gender and shit, and like if this is real i think i might be non binary and have a pretty fluid gender, and im pan but have barely dealt with any homophobia in like a year lucky me), and it was literally just someone replying to my youtube coment but damn it hurt. Thank you so much
at anyone who is watching this: if you need an accepting and supportive friend, big sister, little sister, cryptid - I'm here for you. You're beautiful. You're brave. You're worthy. You're loved. Hang in there
I am cis so while I do not and cannot fully understand the trans experience, I did cry from these ads. It just makes me so happy to see companies openly support trans people. I know the first time I started seeing ads with wlw in them and they weren’t in your face pride ads it made me feel so happy and accepted and I think that is what made me so happy about these ads is that now trans people can have that same experience as seeing themselves in media and see that they are accepted and loved. I hope that made sense and didn’t come out wrong lol. Anyways yay I love all of you trans peeps out there! Edit: oh my god I came out as non-binary like a month ago ahahahah
I'm a crybaby so I was tearing up during the first ad. They're so simple yet so profound. We definitely need more ads like these. Ads are really great ways for showcasing how diverse humans and our experiences are. They're ubiquitous and mundane things we see all the time. So having positive trans and overall LGBTQIA+ representation does wonders in opening people's minds who may not have even known we exist. Some people have never seen representation and have misconceptions in their head. It's ads like this that break those things down. It's always heartwarming to see positive representation that is realistic and not cinematic.
I've seen the first Secret ad on TV (in Canada), it still runs sometimes (and not just around Pride month), and I remember loving it so much. I think it was the first time as a non-trans person that I saw a trans person in an advertisement
Thank you Jamie for your videos. I’ve watched for 3 years, and they’ve helped me get the courage to come out to my parents, and when that didn’t go well, it gave me the courage to show them videos and studies and news articles that made them adjust their view of trans people and why we exist. You helped inspire me to keep pushing for acceptance, and change my parents views that were previously based only on the trans people they’ve met in our small community (they’re doctors who just haven’t met many unjaded trans people) AND helped me win an argument for ONCE with my parents (never really happened before). Thank you. (This is from the RU-vid account I recently made with my new name, so happy about that too 😁)
Hey I just wanted you to know that you have helped me a lot with your videos. I was always scared with identifying as trans masculine because the men in my life have always showed me that being masculine was to be mean or just not a nice person. After watching a lot of your videos, I’ve realized I can still be myself and be a nice person as a trans- masculine person. I’m really happy you post your videos to educate other people about trans people. I’m not sure if this makes a lot of sense, but thank you for your videos.
After the 3rd ad my eyes started tearing up and then i noticed we were both making the exact same face 😂❤ Thank you for these wholesome adverts. I've never seen one on TV before.
I have to try so hard not to cry while watching this, I just can't express how warm and fuzzy these make me feel! Thanks for bringing these to us Jamie!!
There’s recently been a great Ugg advert about pronouns from all different angles of the lgbtq+ community. Not subtle in anyway but a great advert about acknowledgment and acceptance.
It has suddenly occured to me that I am more comfortable coming out to total strangers as being Nb(they/them he/him, but mostly they/them), ace, panromantic , over my own family because all the previous times I tried to come out to my family I was completely shut down and told I was just trying to be trendy and get attention "which is a HUGE insult to people who actually choose to identify that way!" and my fiance is also trans and my mom constantly miss-genders (how is that spelled) her, especially when she isn't around. I'm glad to have found positive and accepting people on the internet at least.
Hi, yes, hello! Not to be that person who fishes for attention (even though that's kind of what this is 😂) But I think I might be a demiboy. Or somewhere within the trans umbrella. I'm not too sure. Now for the part you'll actually care about: Thank you for these videos, they help moi. If I've had a bad day with stressing myself out trying to figure out what my gender is or just in general, there's usually a video I haven't wanted to distract me. You're a brilliant person that restores some of my faith in humanity. Thank you fellow human! :) You're kewl :)
We had that last ad on tv in Finland too, during Christmas season and I freaking loved it❤️ It said "let the present speak". There's also other versions of it, for example of a son and his mother with a cancer. So wholesome and so powerful.
Hi Jammi (did I spell that right?) I love these kinds of videos they bring me up when I feel down. Keep doing what you do, can't wait for the next video!
I managed to not cry until the third ad, I'm proper ugly crying now. They where all very beautiful and made me feel better about life again. Definitely much needed video 👍
ok but while we're on the topic of subtle trans representation, in She-Ra season one they mention "Princess Peakablue" and in season 5 we are introduced to "Prince Peakablue". He is also the only prine, so it would make sence. Also the casual they/them pronouns for Double Trouble
Alex the Gryffindor also Perfuma was meant to be trans! One of the writers or animators said on Twitter that they envisioned her that way when building the character but didn't tell Noelle bc they thought it wouldn't be implemented. I wish it could've been in the show but it's nice to know
It was like this with the last one too, but for some reason I just cry at the title and cry even more when the ads begin. 🤣 "Individuality is a strength. Welcome it."
This was so great, although sometimes the lack of FtM representation is frustrating. I've met several people who tell me I'm not transgender because I'm not MtF.
That last one is a Scandinavian ad. I remember a few years ago when it ran in Sweden around Christmas time, I thought it was so heartwarming. When I saw the title of this video, even before I noticed the thumbnail, I was hoping this ad would be in the video. It was the first pro-trans ad I saw. There were a few other ones in the same series too, like a mum witch cancer and no hair who got a hairdryer from her child (like as a symbol of hope that she'll be fine and get her hair back and might need it) and an old person in a nursing home who got his lonely neighbour a game console with two controllers (so that they could play together) or something like that. I remember noticing all the ads were so beautiful and meaningful. They really nailed their commercial concept that year! (Its is a tech chain store.) The last words are in Danish or Norwegian, I'm not sure, but they had the same meaning in Swedish: "Let the gift speak"/"Say it with a gift".
Just wanted to say, great video and very heartwarming. I felt tense and relieved in every ad! Thank you for your sweet commentary, Jamie 💖 See you in the next one!
I may have been crying over my dysphoria for the past hour and now that I’m done crying I want to watch happy 🥺 edit: I already cried at the first one, this is gonna be a long video edit2: I cried at the second one too, this might not be a good video for me to watch rn edit3: THIS ONE MADE ME CRY TOO THAT HAPPENED AT MY CHRISTMAS
RU-vid recommended me a terf video short and a comment full of transphobes. I searched up Wholesome Trans content and thankfully you popped up, thank you for making me feel happier.
I literally slapped my hand on my chest and said in a inhale breath: "IT IS DANISH!". I am so happy that we do this aswell! Omg... i love these videos btw, you are entertaining and really inspiring Jamie. :) (Btw, it means let the presents do the talking)
