Some examples of people just really not understanding how being transgender works, examples of bad trans anatomy, and with a sprinkling of transphobia in there too. PLUSHIE JAMIE: bit.ly/3e9X4yH
I have decided to claim my spot as the first reply on a comment which was sent by a youtuber who is wholesome and amazing on a video made by a amazing, wholesome person... In other words First!
that last one physically hurts,,, elliot deserves so much better and the fact that people are ignoring his identity because they "Lost a lesbian icon" disgusts me
theres a path that people go on to discover their gender and if it means for a while they identify as a lesbian that is fine, they just haven't gotten to the part where they can tell people how they really feel and when they do thats so exciting and we should be proud they finally can be themselves
I had to emotionally and mentally prepare myself for the onslaught of those comments from hateful cis lesbians. I’m a lesbian myself and it saddens me.
"Cis women generally don't have hair on their arms" tell me you've never touched a cis woman without actually telling me you've never touched a cis woman
@Vögelchen Zwitschert Some people, depends on how dark your arm hair is tho, luckily the hair on my arms is a lighter color and doesn’t show up, but when it comes to shaving your legs it’s just a pain
@@vogelchenzwitschert8754 yeah i did like twice and then it just kinda stopped growing and now my arm hair is pretty much gone (its like spiky peach fuzz) so kinda weird but whatever
@@aestherien I know it is, it's just that the guy who wrote that doesn't sound like he does, therefore he said that a cis female (and therefore implying any afab person) wouldn't have hairy arms. As I joke I was thinking that it confirmed that even though I am afab I am not a female (instead, nb genderfluid) as I do have hair. It is not meant to be serious though as hair is absolutely normal independently of the gender.
@@nathdominguezmazhari1094 I know lol dont worry. The stigmatization behind body hair on women just utterly confuses me because its a natural occurrence...
Actually A LOT of grown up married man have zero idea about woman's anatomy, or human anatomy in general, even in slightest. Gay guys as well. Thanks to religion and social taboos off course, when even self exploring is prohibited...
For some reason females having body hair is considered weird and not okay so it's pretty much just one of those things where people make something be wrong so others start to think it's the norm for that to be considered wrong or something like that Also did the person saying the only woman that have body hair are trans not know that trans woman can also shave their body hair
@@pokemonfanj it's almost like men don't find it attractive or something on women. I swear a five year old can answer the objections and questions you people posit.
question, nobody are gonna said anything about that woman's post saying her eggs came from her mother... like NO Lady you grew them yourself. LIKE ANYONE DOES WITH THEIR OWN CELLS
I am a cis woman, but usually the "spot a trans woman" tricks would make me seem trans. I have large feet, hairy arms, legs, and upper lip, not very wide hips and I am just as much a woman as any other woman
Exactly. Gender stereotypes are just that stereo types. Not all women are short, not all men are tall. And the list goes on and on and on. People who continue to deny this basic facts are actively ignoring the traits of people in their lives who do not fit this narrative.
@Alex Mayer But that's the whole problem with trying to use those characteristics of the human body to label someone with. We come in so much variety it's impossible to use them as a label to spot transgender people with (or enby for that matter) and it's unfortunate it still happens. I have gone through boy puberty (I was assigned male at birth, just to clarify :P ) and my adamsapple has been invisible for practically my whole life, and it actually confuses people because they consider it to be a male-only trait, and as a result have asked questions if hormones "make it go away" or "So, your adamsapple is already gone, when's your voice going to change?"
What's this with the "we lost a lesbian" narrative? That sounds like entitelement to me, like "you were a potential partner to me, how dare you quit". That's just... no.
It's has a similar vibe of you're too pretty too be ace/lesbian. I am sexually attracted to you so how dare you not be sexually attractived to my gender. I'm mad because I won't get a chance with you. 🤬😡😡🤬😡
@@doodle276 they're not being insulting. they're saying that it's "terrible" but it's actually good for them because they're a trans man, not a woman (who is supposed to not have hairy arms)
A little bit unrelated but an interesting story; Once in elementary school a bunch of kids were seeing who had the longest arm hair and I would have won but they thought I didn’t have any because I’m blonde lol
@@aquabluerose7734 I’m English, Scottish and Italian. I inherited my dad’s dark hair and my mom’s pale skin. It’s really easy to see my arm and leg hair lol.
@@darkangel7589 I'm Irish German and English with a teeny bit of Native American on my dad's side, and Spanish German and a little bit of Italian and Native Venezuelan on my mom's side. I'm pale with dark grayish yet slightly reddish brown hair and green eyes with a gold ring around my pupils though my body hair is more of a dark blonde. I just realized my description sounds like a Mary Sue OC 😂
Jammi’s face when he read “Cis women generally don’t have hair on their arms” is the face I make every time I see/hear something homophobic/racist/transphobic. It just doesn’t make sense 🤦 (Also, I *LOVE* plushy Jammi 🥺)
Yeahhhhhh honestly it sounds like its a bit of racism as well to me, as white folks can have lighter arm hair, so its harder to see. Whereas darker folks usually have darker body hair.
@@8unnylover Nah, I don't doubt there's racism mixed in there, too, but overall I smell a heavy load of sexism/misogynism on top of the transphobia in this one 😅
Some random dude: Cis women don’t have hair on their arms. Me, a cis woman, looking at my hairy arms: shit... I should go talk to my parents, I think they have to explain something.
That whole egg thing is like "if you want to sell your car after 10-15 years, you first have to ask the manufacturer if you can, because technically they had it before you bought it."
It isn't even like that it's even more absurd AFAB people aren't born with eggs I'm pretty sure they're developed around the time puberty starts so they in no way come from the parent except for the genes and effort spent on the kid surviving that long
@@janetshade4659 and where do you think the body stores the eggs until puberty? I've been checking my body and I can't find them. And yes I am a genetic female.
@@TheAglaisUrticae It's going to be a veeery long post sorry for that and for my English (I'm a French medical student) Let's talk about embryology so first of all male (XY) and female (XX) embryons don't begin the sexual distinction of their gonads (testicles for men ovaries for women) before the 7th week for the male and the 8th week for female (that's why both sex have nipples btw even if it's useless for men) So for male the Y chromosome activate a gene named SRY that produce SOX proteines which are transcripted as testosterone (the ''male'' hormone but women have it too in fewer proportion) wich develop the wolf canal while Müller canal decilne and their neutral gonads then are transformed into testicle and have to go all the way down from inside the body to the outside of the body in the scrotum (it's a big simplification) Women don't have the Y chromosome therefore the Müller canal is induced while Wolf canal decline. The ovaries are recognizable from the 10th week and the oogonias sare being stock since then. The ovaries are in they're ''right'' place at the 12th week. So you may ask ''what are oogonias ?'' They are the first form of the ovule/egg. The feminin meiosis goes this way : 1 oogonia gives 1 oocyte I + 1 polar body The oocyte I go through 4 stages : Prophase I * Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I * this stage is subdivided into 5 smaller : Leptotene Zygote Pachytene Diplotene (the meiosis stops there a 1st time until there is a peak of LH (feminine hormone) which implies the ovulation) Diacinese Then the oocyte I tranform into oocyte II + 1 polar body Oocyte II go through : Prophase II Metaphase II And it stops there until the fecondation In the 7th month of pregnancy* we estimate there are 7millions oogonies in the ovaries of the foetus but most of them will ''die'' by atresia At birth 700 000 oogonies will remain And at the puberty 400 000 oogonies *This stock of oogonies won't expand only decrease the body can't produce them after that moment It takes 10 weeks for a oogonia to develop up to stage diplotene of Prophase I and then die (until you reach puberty where your body finally can produce enough hormone to ovulate and let it go through the other stages) So female are born with a stock of what will become eggs (even though most of this stock will perish) and this stock is in your ovaries Whereas for men the spermatozoïdes are produced at the puberty through almost the same process during 64 days -> they don't have a stock at birth and they can produce them from puberty until they die basically
I’m a cis het woman from Nigeria and I don’t shave my arms or legs. There’s a tribe called igbo and the women are extremely hairy, some will beards even. These people think women are like plastic dolls or something
@@franklinAll8735 Also, it’s cheap for you to call someone sick after commenting that this channel makes you miss “a certain painter from Austria”. Whether you say that’s a joke as well or not, someone joking about abandoning their own kids vs joking about wanting a fascist leader who attempted genocide to return is much worse. Touch some grass. Hitler probably wouldn’t have liked you anyway.
Sometimes I wish humans thought about each other in the same way we think about dogs. Hairy no matter your sex/gender, super cute no matter your shape and size and lovely creatures we should just want to love and care about.
My homophobic and transphobic father always says vegetarians put animals on the same level as humans. When I read this I realized it was him who put some humans below the animals level
Trans education is very much needed. People don’t understand trans people, and they get confused and think they are unatural. It’s so important people understand!
Definitely! There are so many people in my school who think that trans women are women who “decided to become men” and trans men are men who “decided to become women” with little to no recognition of non-binary people. There’s a lot to be done!
@@ripleyb5555 yeah, I always got confused what trans-men/trans-women meant because we didn't talk about this at all. The same with other things in the LGBTQ community. We had one (1) hour, where a guy came into our class and told us a little bit, but it was more like: people are different, but we won't talk much about it. I wish I had learnt about certain things sooner
The way the people talk about "losing" someone and grieving them when they come out as trans is heartbreaking and quite disgusting. My boyfriend's parents have done that to him and it's so unnerving considering he is still here and still the same beautiful person.
I agree. The only reason they have to "mourn the loss" of someone is because they never actually loved that person as who they are, they loved the idea of them. And now that idea has been shattered, and they feel like the victim because this person's identity ruined the plan these people had for a life that's not their own.
I feel like the "trans men are men but trans woman are not woman." isn't even acceptance for trans men- It'll bet you anything that a woman wrote that post. And shes only saying "trans men are men" because she doesn't actually believe they are men- but still sees them as a girl. But wants to support that "girl". Sees supporting trans man as some sort of supporting woman thing? idk if that makes sense but thats how I read it.
i feel like thats how it seems to them, but like jeeze thats just sexist like "its ok for a *woman* (trans man) to be a *man* (trans woman) but men, how dare they try to be a woman!
I thought that "Trans men are men but trans woman are not woman" was written by a man, who was saying that if a woman transfersations to man then they should be, because men are the supreme sex but if a man wants to change to a woman then they a pussy. That was my take away from that post. So the complete opposite of what Rubel Rose thought the post was trying to say.
It's so weird when people say "women don't have hair in their arms" like- I'm afab, and have a lot of hair in my arms. It's visible, not thin (but idk if thick) and gets quite long. I don't have a skin or hair condition that makes it that way, it just is. My sister is the same, many girls in my uni have the same exact thing. It's not uncommon.
Exactly, and even if the hair wasn't really visible, it would still be there. I really don't know who even thinks women don't have hair on their arms lol, it's completely natural
It's not just not uncommon, it's usual. We're just told we should be ashamed of it and get rid of it because "it's not feminine"... While it's literally a thing a human woman's body does. 😅
“Cis women don’t have hair on their arms” Me: (looks at the hair on my arms) well I guess I’m a man now? Women DO have hair on their arms naturally. If that person has met women without the hair, then that means they just shave their arms. But the hair is also a sign of being healthy.
There are many people, both men and women, whom don't grow much if any visible body hair on their arms and or legs. This is especially common among Asians and native Americans. Body hair or lack of it is not inherent to any one gender.
I’ve also been told women should shave pubic hair- it’s normal to grow hair everywhere on your body and should be normalized. Body hair is beautiful no matter what you identify as. Don’t feel pressured to shave or wax to identify a certain way. :)
The majority of the skin has hair if I'm not totally mistaken. There are pores pretty much everywhere (excluding palms and soles) and just because some hair can be really short and hard to see doesn't mean it isn't there. Maybe the person who wrote “Cis women don’t have hair on their arms” was confusing women with reptiles. *shrug*
@@greenbeans9033 the being beautiful part is a bit subjective but tbh it shouldn't matter to others (except perhaps their partner(s)) whether they shave or not, ESPECIALLY with pubic hair. Like, personally I don't find it attractive, but it's not for others to or not to find attractive. it's like if someone wants to have gaudy nail polish, or style their hair similarly to some person from the Victorian era (which I've actually seen someone do something similar irl, they were working at the grocery store. It was really cool!), it's something they do more likely than not for themself, not for anyone else. (Again sometimes the partner(s) of that person may be involved in some of those decisions, but as long as everyone involved is happy and comfortable then y'know whatever, it's a form of intimacy/trust in each other so no one should feel entitled enough to try to take that away.) (The "(s)"s are because some people have multiple partners, please do not misinterpret that as the person, like, cheating or something lmao)
Cis woman: Don’t call me cis, I’m a woman! Trans woman: Don’t call me trans, I’m a woman! Cis woman: *no, that’s not how you’re supposed to play the game*
@@ameliasellers6396 yes I made that distinction, a biological and sexual female, who does not present as traditionally male or female. Hence, “non-binary.”
You should talk about the Super Straights™ Jamie it’s a really dumb topic Edit: for the people unaware, a person on TikTok invented a new sexuality called “Super Straight” that basically says they are only attracted to cis men/women and don’t see trans people as attractive. It’s transphobia, it’s just transphobia. Edit #2: Apparently there’s also “chromosexual” which means you’re only attracted to specific chromosomes???? I’m confused.
@@icravedeath.1200 Of course! Men have just as much right to break their ankles in uncomfortable torture devices as we women do. (Can you tell I hate & refuse to wear heels?)
I came out as a trans male a few days ago, and I just found out that my mom has been watching Jamie's videos (along with other trans RU-vidrs) in order to learn more, and I want to cry but good cry! 💙💗🤍💗💙
@@alexandrahenderson4368 I’m partially Iberian (it’s undetermined still) and Native! My Nana is full Spanish however and doesn’t have any body hair! But my Tata also doesn’t have body hair and is almost fully Native. I do ALSO have a higher level of testosterone in my body, so I know a lot of factors contribute to my body hair! Regardless, I’m cis and have quite a bit of hair on my arms and legs. :)

I was 9 years old when my mother tried to explain me sexuality: she said: "A-sexual is hetero and B-sexual is everything else." at least she tried 😂😅 edit: she grew up in the 80's when internet wasn't a thing
My parents grew up in the 50's and 60's and they were much less incapable of having that talk with me probably also for having experienced good sexual education themselves. I give your mom some credit for trying, but it doesn't help if they themselves might never have had proper sexual education even if the internet would've been around. The internet can be there all you want in these circumstances, but if parents were taught sexual education bad and mainly got a vibe from the things they did learn in that "You should not ever talk about this subject because it will make children only want to become more curious about sex and them wanting to actually try it" that's not going to be beneficial for them should they want to go and look on the internet for advice on the matter. They will always have their piece of their upbringing and education that comes along with how they teach you and it's usually hard for parents to completely break with how they were taught certain things for believing they should've been taught more thoroughly.
my mother got gay/lesbian and trans mixed up, so it went something like: "Some people are born a girl but think they're a guy so they grow up to date girls, hence, they are lesbian and vice versa." She still thinks that in a gay relationship, one person HAS to be the "guy" and the other, a "girl". How she got this even with an openly lesbian alt friend baffles me. And now she has a genderfluid aceflux lesbian kid so... coming out when I'm 18 is going to be interesting
@@nyxie664 that reminds me of a thing my mom showed me on facebook. Someone posted that an elderly Egyptian cab driver they met told them that he "supports the gays now" because, according to him, he lived with a lesbian couple and "the husband lesbian was a better husband than he was"

Transpobe: cis women don't have hair on their arms Me: *looks at my arm* Me: guess I'm secretly a trans woman then, gotta call my parents and ask how long this has been going on
"Cis women do not have hair on their arms" You haven't been closer than 12 feet of a woman because literally everyone has hair on their arms. It would be really weird if you had absolutely no hair on your arms.
From what I once read, people born intersex (for instance those with CAIS) might be without it, but I'm not sure if that goes for pubic hair (which they do not have) and body hair as well.
I actually barely have arm and leg hair (I do, but you can barely see it, only if you look really close). Idk why, but it might be bc I’m Asian, although I’m more southeastern, so idk if that makes sense
@@emilyrose3490 It can most certainly differ if you live in a different part of the world or if your parents came from a different part of the world. Also, I'm reasonably short for someone born male who went through male puberty and do not have broad shoulders, and people tend to forget biological diversity is a thing, which is might just be in your case as well. Biological diversity is a very good thing, because we'd be in dire trouble as the human race in general if our genepool would cease to differentiate in newborns compared to their parents. Celebrate all the different shapes, sizes and appearances the human body comes in I'd say ;).

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Take care of yourself, stay safe out there and have a great week. Never forget you are all valid and cared about. I love your content as always Jamie, you have assisted so many in discovering who they are.
That's because people equate "have children" with "physically birth children". When I've told people I want to adopt they say "Oh, you don't want to have kids?"...🤦♀️No! That's not what I said!! I DO want to have kids, I just want to adopt!
Sat hear watching this with my friends and she said "what, that used to be a girl, I thought it was a boy trying to be a girl not the other way round. That's so scary if I didn't know that I could've accidentally dated him" 😶😶😶 I need new friends, seriously. I can't believe she claims to be open minded.
Me, a cis woman with normal female hormone levels and no medical conditions: I have arm hair, stomach hair, back hair, hair on my damn cheek bones! I’ve went to the doctor about it and they straight up said that I have no conditions making me that way, I just got hairy genetics 😂 My dad has the same amount of hair as I do but his is coarser and darker. I have very pale skin and almost black hair, I can’t help that it’s noticeable.
Schools will teach things we don’t need, but they don’t teach important stuff like lgbtqia+ awareness. My school is very transphobic but I was delighted to see my health teacher compared Homophobia to racism in his slideshow, maybe we’re getting better
At my school my dcience teacher teaches about gender and sexuality and teaching kids not to be homophobic, racist, transphobic, etc. meanwhile, my ela teacher in the classroom next to hers is misgendering my nonbinary friend

I really do not understand transphobes and homophobes. It doesn't affect you in any way that a person is WITH THE PERSON WHO THEY LOVE, and it doesn't affect you that a person BECOMES THE GENDER THEY IDENTIFY WITH
Honestly curious here, based on the ridiculous no ovaries one: I've heard of "womb transplants" for cis women who've lost their own natural uterus, but CAN you even transplant the entire female reproductive tract into a trans woman and have her ovulate and conceive? That's controlled by a different set of hormones than what's in the estrogen shots/patches/etc. given to trans women. Something tells me if we had figured out how to make a body that doesn't produce those hormones at all regulate a female reproductive tract efficiently enough to conceive and carry we'd be able to cure a lot more cases of primary infertility in cis women.
So far uterine transplants are still kind of experimental. The transplant recipient needs to delivers via C Section and have a complete hysterectomy (of the transplanted uterus). During the pregnancy, the recipient also needs to be on all the immunosuppressive drugs that come with transplant. Pregnancy also involves a number of complex hormone balances and systems that would be difficult to recreate. Because of this, the current medical consensus is that transplanting a uterus/complete reproductive tract into an AMAB person is too likely to fail at this time.
Hell, it seem hella dangerous to become pregnant as a trans women with modern medicine. Like we know Jack shit about biological female. Like the loops need to go though to literally safely do a pregnancy as a trans women can not be safe
I mean there are a lot of variables to consider when it comes to transplants in general and even more so with a delicate transplant like this. Obviously there’s the issue of donor matching and how limited that list would be. Given how hard it is for afabs to convince their doctor to let them get their tubes tied and stuff, even if many people were willing to donate, there would be many hoops to jump through. You would have to be on immuno suppressant drugs probably forever which can cause complications. I honestly have no clue if you can grow a whole reproductive system from stem cells but it does sound tricky. Especially using adult stem cells. Even if the transplant went smoothly and you had a hormone therapy that got it all working, as the first comment said, a full term pregnancy would probably still not be possible. Best case scenario would probably be that the eggs would be produced and could be harvested for IV with a surrogate. But the risk of having unprotected sex with a transplanted womb would be very high, so you would only be given the hormone treatment to produce eggs as and when you wanted IVF. So you still wouldn’t get a monthly period. If it were only done to ease dysphoria, then it would become basically unobtainable. It probably would get on insurance/healthcare because then it would be “cosmetic” in a way. So yeah, very tricky for both trans and cis women as cis women would also stumble at a lot of these obstacles.
