we love gentle plant dad and aggressively supportive tattoo dad! youtube has been pushing the transphobia onto my recommended lately, I need more trans goodness 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I want a show where Matt Walsh is just locked in a room with these two until they fix him, with them pulling a good cop/bad cop type thing on him until he either stops being such a shithead or cracks under the pressure and tells us where his secret hard drives are.
Dude Idk what's up with RU-vid, but for months it's been forcefully putting me on that side of RU-vid. I only fixed it by deleting my watch history. It felt like RU-vid wanted to convert me 😅, it sucked. But if it happens to you, deleting your watch history does fix it.
As a cis woman. I am “dependent” on “drugs” like birth control to avoid bleeding and extreme pain. Thank you Jammie for defending women who can’t have kids. We appreciate you.
I'm a trans man and, while it's not my job, I can lay brick, install flooring, fix and/or replace toilets and sinks, etc. And I learned it all from my cisgender mother.
Thank you tho! My mom taught me how to use a saw, find wall studs, a level. Anything a man could do. My mom said bet. Then taught me. The only thing my dad did that she didn't was cars. Also my dad cooked and cleaned. It's almost like living life has nothing to do with gender and you need these skills, all of them, to get by.
A "new" (It's been out for a couple of years now) children's cartoon challenged gender norms and roles with the parents. My sister was watching it and I happened to walk by when one of the main characters was like "We need to make holes in this piece of wood, but we're too little. I know, lets ask MOMMY if she can use HER drill to make the holes." It took me by surprise because as a Millenial, all of our kids shows always had the father being the one with the power tools and the mechanical knowledge. The dad in the show is a stay at home dad, and both parents work together to guide the kids, there's no "Mommy said no, but Daddy is going to say yes". The relationship between the siblings is great too.
I worked rebar and concrete masonry in my twenties and guess who outworked me? The 58 year old cis woman called the Lady, who had been doing it since she was 17. This 5'4" waif of a woman would pick up and walk off with 4 concrete blocks. Gender don't mean crap to ANY ability.
On the detransition rate: Putting aside the fact that the majority of those are nonbinary people who were pushed into transition they didn't want, and/or trans people who faced immense societal backlash for their transition... a 1% regret rate is a goddamn miracle from a medical perspective. Like, having a kid has a 14% regret rate. A knee replacement, anywhere between something like 30-60%. A 1% regret rate for any procedure, let alone COLLECTION of procedures, is UNHEARD OF.
Not only that, but trans supportive healthcare ALSO helps the people who genuinely detransition. The goal is gender affirming, which includes people who thought they were trans but weren't.
This might sound bad but I honestly believe that most detransitioners are brainwashed by their religion or cultural norms and then exploited by transphobes as "evidence" that trans people aren't valid.
As a person born with Epilepsy; feels pretty damned great to have been on medication for 42 years, and still be alive. I'm glad to have my blood pressure meds. How does it feel to be dependent on meds? Feels like I'm alive. Lol.
The thing is, they have no idea what they are talking about... some people think pill=drug and drug=bad, but come on, you can't live without drugs, and you can't berate someone (or try to at least) for taking meds. Hormones aren't drugs, for starters, but a lot of people in the world, hetero-cis assholes included, depends on heart medication or blood pressure regulators. Are they, the diabetics, the immunosuppresed, the cancer patients... all bad because they depend on drugs? What about the fact that coffee, tea, sugar and alcohol are drugs? Does that make everyone that drinks a coffee or tea bad for they drug's consumption?
@@spiker.ortmann I'm Canadian, but my Great Gramma was British, so I drink more tea than coffee (I cut to fruit teas in the evenings, but drink coffee or black tea during the day) due to her influence. I'd love to try mate someday, it sounds interesting after reading up on it a little!
@@Tardisntimbits just don't be fooled, that shit IS addictive as hell... once you're on it for a while, you can't spend a day without or you have headaches... nothing wrong with drinking once or twice, but don't get too much right away. I remember withdrawal from coffee, way worse, but still, i can't be a whole day without mate or i get too moody to be around myself... 😁
1. Jamie: "I'm not on many meds, but if I were, what's wrong with that?" Thanks for knocking down that accidental(?) ableism! I'm a disabled woman who takes about 10 pills a day. 2. Jamie: "Homophobia is just recycled racism, and transphobia is just recycled homophobia." Very insightful! 3. There are actually some animals (mainly birds) whose sex chromosomes are WZ instead of XY (although I don't remember what combos are male or female), so maybe Roly is so unique because he is part bird, lol jk
Birds and some reptiles do have W & Z Chromosomes! The males typically have WW and the females WZ; it's these pairings that give certain reptiles, such as the Komodo Dragon, to undergo parthenogensis :)
@@dragonsurge1096 I actually looked this up right when Roly said it, because I remember reading about the ZW-sex selection system. You almost got it: It's ZZ that encodes male reproductive organs, though. And it's done birds and some reptiles that have these chromosomes. Cue the jerks claiming Roly is a lizard person in 3 … 2 …1… 😆😉
i'm cis but the "stay weird" thing resonates with me heavily because when i was bullied as a kid for having ADHD, deciding to not be ashamed of my weirdness was one of the things that kept me alive
As someone who's ND and queer I heavily believe ND and queer people need to stick together, we always get targeted around the same times for similar reasons, and even if you're cis het and ND, some struggles overlap.
The "you're reliant on drugs" bit made me angry to a degree. I'm a type 1 diabetic and if I don't take insulin all day every day I will die! Also I still can't believe that people have these sorts of beliefs. I too would have taken the weird comment as a compliment 😂
There's a story about a former Olympic athlete from India. Since birth, she had physically presented as a woman, but because of the scare about trans women athletes, she had to do a chromosome test. It turned out that she was genetically male but had a condition called androgen insensitivity. This condition meant that her cells didn't react to testosterone, meaning that she has XY chromosomes but a physically female body. But because she had a Y chromosome, she was permanently banned from competing professionally.
God, transphobia hurts everyone... all this trans women fear is just reskinned sexism and aligns awfully well with reskinned racism as well. Body features used to harass trans women are also the features used to claim women of color aren't real women or feminine enough
@@awaredeshmukh3202 I'm a CIS woman, and even if cis women had full equality I'd fight for the rights of trans people. But the fact is, laws that aim at trans women ALWAYS negatively affect cis women. So regardless of what gender we were assigned at birth, we need to stand together. because a world where trans people are viewed as equal is a world where ALL people are viewed as equal.
there was also similar story about Polish professional runner who had the same condition, she also got disqualified and banned from competing,I don't remember her name
@@Its_Ezri_motherfuckers it’s was literally just one PowerPoint and it wasn’t that good. My school say they’re super supportive and have 0 tolerance for any discrimination but teachers don’t hear everything that the students say and one or two PowerPoints a year don’t really change people’s views and actions
One time someone replied to me on a comment I wrote on a video and in the comment I wrote something among the lines of "people who are transgender are normal" and the person replying to me wrote "You'll never be a real woman" and I replied with "I'm not trans but I support trans people because that's what nice people do"
…and if you'd responded with only, "I am a woman," those Arschtrompeten would've then told you that you'll never be a real man. Seriously, they're so desperate to abuse someone else that they'll just keep grasping at whatever.
lmao you literally could be a cis woman, a cis man, a trans man, or any kind of nonbinary person who just SUPPORTS TRANS PEOPLE like a decent human being. ppl just make assumptions
I used to work for a paediatric endocrinologist. If transphobes had even an inkling of how many intersex and trans people have been around them, for many decades now, I swear they'd lose their fekkin minds. I worked for this doctor over 20 years ago. Trans teens existed back then and nobody knew, so the conservatives didn't get their knickers in a bunch over it. The second they knew these people existed, they're all in a moral panic tizzie. It's just ridiculous.
I remember calling out a transphobic person on Twitter who was trying to argue with me about whether or not trans people should be allowed to use the right toilets and I said to them "how many trans people do you think you've shared a public restroom with and had no idea about it? Because I bet it's way more than you think" they didnt have a rebuttal after that they just blocked me 😭
Take the block as a badge of honour. I was blocked by so many prominent TERF accounts back in 2016/2017. I think every single one of them either got banned, or went full private. One of them died though(Magdalen Berns). I did not enjoy when there were 20 accounts dogpiling me constantly though(I was one of the first targets of the twitter TERF-wars).
The whole toilet argument never made any sense to me. They act like the triangle body person sign is like Dora saying "Swiper no swiping" but for stopping bad people. They were already going to commit a crime, and one of the worst ones at that, a sign wasn't going to stop them. All stopping trans people from using the right toilet does is put the trans people at risk.
@Typoman Do you really think there are no Muslim trans people? I think you'd be surprised how many there are & you might in fact know some without realising it. And guess what? The world didn't end. Almost as if being trans is no big deal.
Isn’t it wild that they accuse us of reinforcing gender stereotypes, and most of them hold to chromosomes as the determining factor, but then everywhere else they spout bullshit like that that proves gender isn’t about chromosomes to them at all
@@whoknows4780 All those "only a real man does X" memes you see are strangely affirming. Seriousely though, we can't win. If a man does something traditional seen as feminine he's a girl. If a trans woman does it, she's not
I’m sorry if this ends up offensive, I really don’t mean it to be, but I’m a bit confused as to how you can be both nonbinary and a woman? Genuinely just trying to learn so I can be a more inclusive person.
@@justforsoundclippin1002 it's alright. I guess a struggle a lot with my label and don't feel fully like a woman (maybe that's just internalised transphobia) but I guess it's like I don't feel fully a woman, but still identify it with somewhat. feminine no binary would probably make more sense, but non-binary trans woman or trans feminine feels right
@camicia nera Oh, you again. Projecting too, lovely~ It's sad that someone saying uncle makes you think of keeping children in a basement, was your childhood bad, or are _you_ the creepy one in your family? ♥️
@camicia nera Okay? I'm going to go back to reporting you now, but it's nice to know that the way you think makes as much sense as the things you say. 😊
If anything, Jamie getting called "bitchy" is proof that that accusation means very little and you should not take it seriously if it's aimed against you
Someone called me "a bitch" in RU-vid comments, and it felt so awesome, because no one had ever called me that before. I wanted to thank the person for affirming my gender.
My mom actually knows what her chromosomes look like and I’ve seen them too. She’s a cytogeneticist and got the opportunity to karyotype her own chromosomes as part of her training. All of her other coworkers did it during their training too and some of them found some really unexpected things. I’ve heard something along the lines of “do you know your own chromosomes?” in a few of these videos now so I thought it would be interesting to share. P.S. By no means am I using this comment to promote the idea that chromosomes are a valid reason to be transphobic because there is NO excuse for hate.
When I did 23andme, I was so disappointed when my chromosomes came back XY. I'd been hoping they'd come back XX and I would be vindicated for feeling the way I did about my gender.
@@xylophone_8888 I know that now, but earlier in my life I was searching for some kind of validation of how I felt. As a kid, I wondered if my parents how somehow "stolen" my ovaries and prevented me from being the girl I was supposed to be. It sounds silly now, but at the time I was desperate to find some explanation for how I felt.
@@electronics-girl sorry, this made me cackle.. "stole my ovaries" In all seriousness I hope that you are doing better now. I understand the need for validation and how crushing that can be. Just know that you are amazing and that you can validate yourself because you deserve happiness
'How does it feel to be so dependant on drugs' probably the funniest thing ever cause they are so confident and then have no idea what they are saying lol
You're dependent on the hormones your body is meant to have. They are talking steroids their body is not meant to have, nor do they have any biological conditions to warrant any medication.
@@dlg78they have Gender Dysphoria disorder which is a certified disorder and has some adverse effects on mental and physical health of transgender and Enby people … It’s very much a biological condition.. Even if it’s only in the brain and not in the body! Like depression is also only in the brain and yet it is considered were much biological often times generational.. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR)1 provides for one overarching diagnosis of gender dysphoria with separate specific criteria for children and for adolescents and adults. Bruh
That's what makes the hate so strange. It's just recycled, repeated trash points that uses a different noun every generation. I had to explain so many times how the points those people make about bathrooms was the same points that were made during segregation/Jim Crow Era. It just gets a new coat of paint
@ChangedWinds People fear what they don't understand and they don't understand anything different from them. Some of the most atrocious things in human history boil down to being this simple, just with awful energy to do harm.
@@tinkeramma oh dear the eternal victims . Nobody hates you ,get over yourselves . No AMAB transwoman is valid in any way .The only true trans is any AFAB transwoman.
Im glad that Jammi is here to clear the clouds with alot of misconceptions about trans people and the untruthful stereotypes Edit: what I meant by this comment wasn't about this video, its about Jammi in general. Im saying that bc alot of people think all Trans people only do this for attention, act or look a certain way that is badly stereotypical, turn into the next Karen when you mis-gender them, or are sexual predators, blah blah blah you get the point I am assuming, and im not saying I can vouch for all the Trans people out there but Im just saying that he is a very respectful guy and his views and opinions come out at nice as he tries to put it. Jammi is what most of then are like; People. They are just people like everyone else, like you, like me. And if you don't care about pronouns then good for you, but it isn't about you. And it isn't about them. Its about mutual respect. Respect for another person's identity and who they are, how they go on about in this world.
@@shimmer281 *He. And he clears the clouds whenever he says anything along the lines of “Just remember that this isn’t true for everyone.” Making sure people know that people are different.
I actually used to watch Blaire White when I was younger. I had just found out what trans people were (honestly didn't even know being a trans man was a thing) and wanted to find out more. I'm so glad that other trans RU-vidrs were in my recommended later on. If I hadn't seen people like You, Sam Collins, Samantha Lux, etc. I probably would've ended up as a transphobe 😭😭😭
I used to be part of her community as well. I got a hard slap in the face when I met Cursed E on twitter years ago. A few months later, I ended up getting blocked by Blaire after one slight comment about her(no mention, she just reverse searches her name). Back then I had the potential to be a public advocate for trans women, even was in private discussion groups with her, Theryn, Contra and a few others. Sadly my life went to the shitter and honestly? That was better for me.
I watched her too, back in the day. I subbed because of the video where she talked about how there was very little space given for her male classmates to talk about abusive relationships where they had been the victim of, and there almost being this unspoken sentiment that the mean things done and said to them by women was something to be shrugged off or laughed at, and thinking it was kind of a strange that her outspokenly feminist teacher was perpetuating that. Ya know, worthwhile take. Believe it or not, she has them sometimes. Most of her career this far consists of bullying children to the brink of suicide and reactionary hot takes though. Not even worth hate-watching.
It's a fairly common experience (especially just a few years ago in the US) to know about trans women but to not know or understand the other can and does exist, I'm v glad you got a wider array of examples later on
@Cat Catterson "a broken clock is still right twice a day" I way, WAY back when subbed to Shane Dawson when he talked about his struggles with suicidal ideation, and how people should reach out, talk about it and not be made to feel isolated, needless to say I don't think he's a smart and insightful person because he had the rare obvious good take I found out it was a similar switch with just about everyone, it seems counterintuitive for someone who one moment advocated for mental health to then later in his career use suicide as the butt of what, 50% of his "jokes" and skits, but people, especially if they're influencers as their career, are fine with contradicting themselves and being inconsistent. Good on you for seeing that yourself, but I wish others would take note of it more often ngl.
I heard chickens have a Z chromosome. And they can be trans as well. Read this article about a farmer who only kept chickens and one morning found a rooster between them. Chicken apparently have only one functional ovary. If it fails (due to a cyst or something) the other ovary develops into a testicle and starts producing testosterone. And the chicken turns into a rooster. It’s the best argument when someone tells you being trans is unnatural. It literally happens in nature.
Bet you some transphobe will cry "Yeah but we're not chickens", in the same manner to when someone mentions clownfish changing sexes. Even though the whole point of mentioning the chickens and the clownfishes is to point out that this happens in nature, and therefore is completely natural. It's just that in humans, some medical assistance is needed for people to transition to appear more like the gender that they identify as.
All sorts of animals can do this, it’s very common in all manner of amphibians. There are also studies on elephants being transgender, they are matriarchal (the herd is led by a female elephant) but there have been male elephants that were chosen to lead the group. Homosexuality has been found in almost every species on earth, homophobia has only ever been found in one.
@@ZONE-fj8lywhere's the line? Are you a child on Monday but Tuesday morning, bam, you're an adult. It's simplistic thinking to ignore the grey area, the transitional spaces, and the lived experiences of trans folk all around you.
@@aprilk141 Just because there are obvious grey areas in every aspect of life it doesn't mean trans women are women. Obviously there are transitional stages. It's a process, not an instantaneous transition. Duh.
Unfortunately, there's allot of people now who do look down on people for needing to take medication, even for illness, and it's really shitty. I'm on a whole lot because of chronic pain, mental health, asthma, and other chronic conditions. Without medications, I'm in extreme pain, can't breathe, and my brain pressure could cause blindness or even death. But that's no reason to go and be dependent medication 🙄🙄🙄
I'm sorry that is even a thing - and like, what about diabetics who rely on insulin to survive? Is that seen as a negative, too? Seriously, people, get over yourselves - people are people and we should embrace their ability to live their lives to the fullest however that takes shape. Best wishes and best luck - from a fellow chronic pain sufferer!
Healthism and ableism are real. It's massive ignorance. Well, one way or another through age, illness, or injury they're going to find out and either be miserable or learn and wake up.
I'm terribly sorry you have to go through that. These people that hate modern medicine seriously baffle me. What? They want to go back to a time when you could die from a cold or diarrhoea? It seriously has fascistic vibes to me when they want people who need medication to survive to not get that medication
@@byecatsstacey7467 A lot of people believe diabetes is only caused by being overweight and overeating constantly, so they just go "lose weight, don't rely on insulin" and forget that type 1 diabetics exist.
Mentioned to an old coworker I was on an infusion for Crohn’s and he said ‘I’d never take medication. It’s weak to depend on that kind of thing. What are you gonna do when the world ends?’ Idk, bro. Die? 🙄
11:52 also cis people sometimes need to go on hormone therapy?? Not because they are trans and have dysphoria about their body, but for physical health reasons, because their body naturally doesn't produce enough of the sex hormones that are necessary for bodily function! One of my family members is a cis man and gets T shots lol
And how people think puberty blockers are demonic and harmful to kids when...cis kids with precocious puberty are on them just fine...because kids shouldn't start puberty at 5
I transitioned. Detransitioned. Couldn't stand being a woman a second time and retransitioned. Im pretty sure that I know Im a man at this point. I tried twice to do what the rude people want. Im so tired of people saying youll detransition one day or youll do this one day. Like. Nah. I already tried that life path twice. Not for me.
jamie and roly are the two main trans stereotypes sitting next to each other and I love it. the loud punk dude with the big tattoo sleeve and piercings everywhere, and the gentle wholesome British dude in a cosy jumper

It made me laugh. I'd love to bump into Jamie on the street so I can give him a big hug. Yes, I'm cis-het, but I love getting perspective and being able to help give other people perspective, and Jamie really helps me with this in a very happy way
When my friend’s two youngest came out as trans, I recommended your RU-vid channel because you have always been so,e open about your journey and you are so educated in these issues
Irt chromosomes, in one of my human genetics units at uni, we learned how to analyse a person's karyotype (their full set of chromosomes, including sex chromosomes) by using our own. It was essentially a way for the uni to save money, so they didn't have to pay for sample material for us to process and analyse, but as students, we loved being able to look at our own chromosomes. A young woman in my class found out that she had XY chromosomes, meaning she had androgen insensitivity. It's basically a non-functional Y chromosome, because her body doesn't respond to male androgens and therefore, developed female physical characteristics, but is completely infertile. She was a refugee from a country where she'd never had access to comprehensive medical care, so despite having difficulty conceiving with her husband, she'd never known. The uni provided free counseling for her (which is offered to anyone who finds alarming things in their genetics through that human genetics major) and last I heard, she wanted to pursue a PhD related to sex chromosomes, inspired by her own experience. So yeah, Jamie is 100% right -- a LOT of transphobes would find surprising things in their own karyotypes, lol. Before we did the actual lab work, our lab tutor made a point of warning us that some of us may not find the sex chromosomes we were expecting, that it happened a couple of times every year across the different classes and that counseling was available.
if they add luxreia i think i would be on the floor gasping for air, imagine 3 of them, luxreia and roly is chaos, roly and jamie is chaos, add luxreia as third i think it would be chaotic bomb..
I literally just binged all the Roly/Jamie collabs over night- and this popped up today! I am FTM and my dad is trying to learn and process stuff… he loves the content and is learning a lot, especially seeing how many false narratives are presented in the media. Thank you both for being amazing! It feels good to see other people deal with hate and be able to laugh.
I'm so glad you have a supportive dad! I know an MTF youth and her journey has been difficult. Her mother is an incredible support in spite of being very religious. Without sharing too many details, that support has been expensive in many ways, but she supports her daughter to the moon and back because that's her child. It makes all the difference. I love them both so much.

I do think it’s really sad that some people basically have kids because they intend to plan their lives… it’s very unfair!
when people criticize people for "being dependent" on drugs, my go to response is "okay you're dependent on them too? your body just makes them naturally so dont give me shit for taking adderall"
The medication thing absolutely _boggles_ my mind (though this is more general drug use and not just testosterone or stuff like that). They say people shouldn't use it as a "crutch" to live better lives, but they basically do what my glasses do! I wear my glasses because I'm practically blind without them, the same as someone with antidepressants take them to feel better! They're not a "crutch", they help me to live life as "normal" as possible (even if I know that won't happen, it still helps and that shouldn't be hated on)! People seriously hate anything new that's aimed to help others different to them I swear!
If your leg was mangled, you're going to need either a prosthetic or "a crutch" to get around. Because that's what a crutch is for: to help you function with a damaged body part.

@Ville 😂😂😂 Edit: Normally I don't respond to transphobes, but this one, "Ville", obviously has no job or anything else to fill their time with and donated a huge amount of effort towards adding comments on Jamie's channel, increasing it's reach and viewership, all while screaming "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM". And it's pretty F'ing funny.
Those are the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. I’ve recently decided to come out as trans at work and it’s really scary but I’m still doing it. I hope my coworkers don’t respond like some of the transphobia in this video
Roly is known for wearing crazy contact lenses. He has at least a dozen pairs in different colours & patterns. I'm sure these ones are just another set from his growing collection.
some fun detransition facts: -the detransition rate is under 1% and the majority of recorded detransitions aren't due to regret, in fact the majority are when trans people are pushed into detransitioning by transphobic communities and many re-transition later on. -(depending on the specific surgery) the regret rate is far lower than other surgeries such a hip replacements, knee surgeries, plastic surgeries or even chemo courses. One reason for this Is because of the low risks, trans surgeries are majority safe with few long term side affects or long term medication. In the UK The long waiting lists of the NHS and other segregated health services also contribute, you wait years for a surgery, you're unlikely to regret it. These other surgeries with higher regret rates don't require mental examinations to be done. Just trans people. The whole "loads of people detrasition" thing is a massive myth. detransition is also not easy, it makes it sound as if its an on the dime decision, its not. anyway they're fun things to bear in mind, abigail Thorne over at philosiphy tube did a really good video on the NHS and trans health care. stay safe love ya'll ❤️
@@dlg78 I'm afraid you're incorrect, a very quick Google will tell you there's the difference of 67% suicidal thoughts to 3% suicidal thoughts that occur before and after transition. of course transition won't cure mental health issues to do with lack of being heard and supported and being able to be yourself but for those who need it to feel comfortable In their own skin, there is a marked improvement. The change your referring to could be due to a lack of being accepted by family post surgery, or a small percentage of those transitioned people? please do a little research on the topic from unbiased sources, they may suprise you :)
if you're referring to a Swedish study I found, I can't guarantee the legitimacy but I can tell you the suicide rate before transition definitely is not zero as the youth suicidal rate is 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 depending on your source. even the study Concludes that surgery is effective in easing gender dysphoria and suggests more access to therapy and resources for post transition trans people rather than not have people transition at all.
Z-chromosomes are actually a thing. Some reptiles and birds have a ZW-chromosome sex-selection-system: males have 2 'Z' and females have a 'Z' and a 'W'.
Iirc the detransitioning thing is even less, I think like half of those who detransitioned realized they were nonbinary or were forced out of it by family members, so even less people detransitioned because they weren’t trans. Also when I was younger I never saw myself as a girl (or a guy for that matter) and I thought that was normal until puberty when I started getting horrible dysphoria and then I was like “wait a damn minute”.

I did at one point have a mildly successful spiritual forum for women, BUT it included transwomen and would have nonbinary AFAB people (it was before the label existed) because it was focused on building common ground between women in spirituality that is commonly dominated by men.
That's awesome! I think it's great that you included all people who's experiences with femininity/womanhood were important to them and thier spirituality regardless of background. I'm a trans man myself, so while I wouldn't have been in that space I still understand the importance of a space like that.
@@nicolasnamed Yeah not sure if even trans-men couldn't have been included because a lot of you did experience sex-related religious discrimination as children. As an AFAB genderfluid person, who grew up in a time my label didn't exist, there are major reasons I left the church at 12. I realized as a young adult that people who identify as women that are also religious have more in common than they realize, regardless of which faith they belong to (I am Pagan btw).
@@SheWhoExists Well I have seen it three ways actually (even more academic writing) same is true of "cis" ciswomen (as a modifying prefix) cis women (as an adjective), and whatever cis-women would be classified as...so it's confusing at times. I have also been told being nonbinary makes me transgender, most commonly written that way...but if it's always trans man/trans woman wouldn't also be trans gender?
@@catherines8020 I wholly agree that it's a little bit of a mess, but generally a space is the most "correct" since cis/cisgender and trans/transgender are generally accepted as adjectives when modifying. As to the transgender vs transgender, it's written transgender and cisgender because trans and cis are shortenings of those words, not modifiers in that case.
i love the absolute vibe here, the complete contrast of energy b/w these two. roly's bad cop energy and jammi just being the wholesome sweetpotato. also i love the way they explain and clear certain things
Thank you for talking about chromosomes! So many people just assume that you HAVE to have only XX or XY when there are like five different chromosome sets that doesn't result in fetal issues. My fiance only has one X Chromosome and that's it which is an intersex trait. I have a hormonal imbalance and was diagnosed with PCOS which can be an intersex issue as well as an issue CIS women have. (I'm Genderqueer 😙✌)
Lmaoo so true! Imagine someone looking at Jamie for the 1st time without having any info about him and calling him a "she"? That would make them sound absolutely insane! 🤣🤣🤣
We all know that transphobes wouldn't ever call Jamie a woman or refer to him as "she" if he wasn't open about being trans. As much as transphobes like to believe they can recognize a trans-person just by looking at someone, reality is that it's not as easy as people think. Even if they nitpick the tiniest of details that may suggest someone was transgender, it's still very likely that they will end up being wrong. Human bodies are extremely varied. Some female bodies will naturally be more masculine than others. Some male bodies will naturally be more feminine than others. Genes are wild, man.
FR like they say that we make it a big deal out of it (yeah! to show that nowadays is a littleeeee more accepting than before when it comes to lgbt, and to allow the community to feel welcomed) but then they'll make whole rants about why they hate us for no reason 😅
@@ancient_technique honestly, please take my advice. What on earth does the gospel have to do with being transgender. And honestly, before you comment anything that has to do with being trans, I highllllyyy recommend that you actually learn what it is.
@@v4mp1r3_v the gospel is the testimony of Jesus christ , listen kid you can believe in your idiotic way of thinking (transgender) or you can believe in the gospel and reach enlightenment. not whatever the hell trans delusion you think 😂
@@ancient_technique no because why do you think that understanding your gender is soooo terrrible. Like you must really care about us. Honestly, in the end, trans people will be the happy and enlightened one like it ain’t our fault that you are so insecure about yourself that you have to waste your time saying random stuff. And I ain’t a “kid”, I’m a grown individual with dignity and respect. Something you clearly will never have in your lifetime. Also why are you on this video anyways, do you have something to share… 🏳️⚧️👀
I don't understand why it's so hard to just call people what they want to be called. It changes literally nothing in your life if someone else goes by Robert or Sandra. If you can manage to call either of them Bob or Sandy when "that's not their name," what's the difference? It's none of mine what's in someone else's pants; they are called 'private parts' for a reason. Last I checked, neither urination nor changing one's clothes is a predatory act. I don't know what change rooms y'all attend, but I've never seen anyone do anything other than go about their own business. No one is having a naked Coyote Ugly moment.
Statistically speaking, there have been more cis women attacked by OTHER cis women in bathrooms for not looking "cis" enough than there ever have been or will be cis people attacked or preyed upon by trans people. Transphobia around bathroom usage has only ever hurt both sides and helped absolutely no one, but transphobes would rather clutch their pearls over non-existent, unrealistic situations they made up in their heads than face the reality that they've been hateful towards a minority for absolutely no reason.
Comment from a middle aged, whiter than snow, cis woman. If trans people are not allowed to have surgery and/or take medication to make their bodies feel more comfortable to live in and to be a truer representation of the person they are inside, then they should also be against.... lets see.... makeup.... piercing, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, butt lifts, exercise, makeup, hair dye, tattoo's, liposuction..... the list is long. They should also be against anyone who requires insulin, or chemotherapy, or birth control, or depression, or anxiety. Not to mention how much they would enjoy their ADHD child NOT having its meds...... FFS.... none of us are the people that we are "born as". That's called an INFANT. Clearly some people never got past that stage of reasoning and understanding. Love your channel
I find Roly overwhelming, they have so much energy. If an iota of Roly's energy could be syphoned off and administered into my system, it would make a huge difference to the quality of my life! lol
@@myplaylist7007 LGBTQ+ is one community. You seem to have no recollection that some of the biggest fighters for gay rights were trans women. The community is together for a reason, and you've fallen into the conservative trap to try to tear us apart to make us weaker.
@@pieflower6419 I don't want to tear you apart, i just want you to realize that human beings can't change there sex/gender. Also gay men in dress and makeup don't make them women.
I just wanted to say thank you for these videos! I've only just gotten the confidence (desperation?) to start exploring my gender recently, and while a lot of the videos on trans issues are extremely valuable, learning about transphobia has made me even more scared to think about anything. Lighthearted videos like this (and especially the LGBT+ positive memes) help reassure me that it's okay to think about.
You have a huge community that supports you and is rooting for you. Good luck exploring your gender! Self-discovery is so cool. I hope you come to feel comfortable with however you decide to identify, label or no ^_^
I just don't understand how intolerant people can choose to stay on that lane and not have a pinch of empathy for another human being... My brain just can't get around that...
12:44 Right??? Like, I take antidepressants and stomach meds, and if someone were to give me grief about that, I'd probably ask if they'd rather I vomit stomach acid on them. The antidepressants keep my emotions more in check and the stomach meds help prevent heartburn which would otherwise be a daily issue.
10:40 Jamie is so right about recycling bigotry. The attack helicopter thing or worrying about furries etc is just like when people fearmonger about gay marriage leading to a guy marrying his lamp and legalizing bestiality, etc.
I apologize to the owner of the channel. I am from an Arab country and it is difficult for me to travel or admit to my family that I am transgender. I didn't undergo any surgery and I'm still stuck in this body.. I am not asking for much I just need someone to help me please
The way Roly describe the flow of conversation, is exactly how my adhd brain works. I'll start at one point and end up in a totally different place but end up connecting back to my original point eventually lol. This was a great video ♡ It sucks people are being idiots leaving Jamie hate but I definitely want to see more of this kind of video ♡
OH MY GOD. I've never seen Roly before. HE IS STUNNING. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME I NEED MORE COLLABS HOLY SHI- On the sad note, my FTM friend was absolutely destroyed today by our teachers so as a good FTM friend I'm gonna send this video to him- And for all of you who are struggling too - you are valid and awesome! BEING 'WEIRD' IS COOL! And rememer! -PHOBES ARE JUST JEALOUS!!
I don't suppose you're in a country where the teacher can lose their job for being transphobic? I'm sorry that happened to your friend. It's good they've got you to support them!
@@j.apenrose7896 Yess, it's pretty 'normal' to be a bigot and a TERF where we live... Well, at least some teachers are normal. And we have the best psychologist a LGBT kid could ask for ^^ Thank youu you guys are getting too kind- T.T
@@shadowwolf7880 If you reckon you could get away with it, I'd recommend calling the teacher by the wrong pronouns, title, and name. Then don't label it as "teacher was being transphobic so I misgendered them" but rather go with "I'm giving the teacher the same level of respect as they give their students." I know it's likely you aren't in a position to do that, depending on how the school system works there, but yeah. I've definitely pulled that one in the past.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DETRANSITIONER ARTICLE REFERENCE!! Edit: Haven’t read it yet, but this is the kind of stuff I need for family arguments rn, and I didn’t know what to look up to find accurate results 😊💛
Cis and Trans is used in science. It refers to how atoms are bonded in alkenes’s whether there’s two on the same side or one on each side. The terms are probably used else where, the same with hetero and homo (referring to the same or different). Therefore being offended at being called cisgender adds another layer of stupid because it simply is a definition with gender tagged on the end.
Wow. The whole section about being weird and unique hit me right in the feels. I've been called weird my whole life and I didn't really understand why. Even in uni when I tried my hardest to be "normal", it seemed completely unattainable. Now that I pretend not to care anymore about being called a weirdo, it still kinda hurts when I do. But the section actually made me feel good about myself for once. TLDR; I wasn't really expecting the uplifting messages from this video. Thank you 💜
I love being weird because I give myself permission to be myself. You don't have to be weird if you don't want to be. It's just a word. No one can make it stick to you if you choose not to embrace it. Same thing for being "normal." If what feels best is just being Ellanannette Vega, be that and unapologetically yourself.
I noticed I've been getting a lot of trans-directed ads lately, and I know exactly why. It's because I watch you and OT so much. And, honestly, I'm proud to be getting those ads. BTW I'm gender fluid myself. 💖
The relying on drugs on got me because my brother is a type one diabetic so relies on injecting insulin, my mum has a thyroid condition and has to take Thyroxine
I'm epileptic (and trans) (but I haven't started my transition yet) and I take 2 pills a day ... So asking how does it feel to be dependent on meds... Like girl are u serious? It's like asking a person how does it feel to be dependent on food and water ... It's literally the same thing 💀 You just exist like that it's not that hard 💀
I have a condition called, "Mosaic Klienfelter's Syndrome. Scattered around my body, my cells may be xy, xx, or xxy. If you want to judge my gender by chromosomes, it would depend on which part of my body you got the sample from. You would end up with xx, xy, and xxy,(klienfelter's syndrome). Transphobes, please tend to your own business?
The gout thing and the c word following Roly and Luxeria everywhere they go is hilarious. Jamie being so nice and kind about the whole thing is just wonderful ❤
Trans guy here. Even if I didn't transition, I'd be dependent on drugs because I have epilepsy and without my meds I'd probably have a grand mal seizure and die. I've lived through two but they are sometimes fatal, especially without meds.
Nope. Because people can regret many things for many reasons. Regretting eating a certain food because it made them sick (be it food poisoning or allergies). Regretting playing a certain sport because they ended up with a serious injury because of it. Regretting taking a certain elective class because it proved to be boring or unhelpful. Regretting going on a certain ride at an amusement park because it was scary. And so much more. Transphobic logic just isn't logic.
On the topic of detransition... Has anyone ever actually looked at whether the cause of those weren't transphobes being so freaking insufferable towards those people that they gave in to the pressure? Because I feel like there definitely are cases like that in that category and not just "oops, this doesn't feel right, my bad, lol." ☠️
When I FINALLY went on medications to treat my MULTIPLE mental illnesses, my mother referred to it as "you're addicted!" and it was like, yeah... addicted to serotonin and NOT being perpetually suicidal.
