The overwhelming irony of "stop teaching kids pronouns and start teaching them grammar" has melted my brain. I also want some awesome teachers to maliciously comply with that horrible idea just to watch the chaos.
“All nouns must be stated whenever the noun is used. There is no way around this and if any person tries to say otherwise, the person is lying.” I - sorry, “this commenter” - would pay to have a grammar lesson but without pronouns that would be hilarious
Miranda does not wish to use pronouns, because Miranda believes that pronouns are grammatically incorrect. From now on, Miranda would like the person reading this comment to refer to Miranda only as "Miranda". Additionally, Miranda's cat is to be referred to only as "Miranda's cat", or by Miranda's cat's name. When Miranda goes to work, Miranda will refer to Miranda's coworkers only by Miranda's coworkers' names. Miranda presumes this comment is an example of what the anti-pronoun people want. Seriously, "stop teaching kids pronouns and start teaching *them* grammar". I can't even.
Stop teaching kids numbers and start teaching them maths!! Stop teaching kids atoms and start teaching them chemistry!! Stop teaching kids evolution and start teaching them biology! It makes the same amount of sense. They're pretty fundamental aspects of the topic at large.
Also hilariously MOST MODELS HAVE A TRIANGLE BODY, in other words they have wide shoulders and a small ass And so do most Disney princesses lol And both are supposedly "the ideal women" in western culture
@@krimsonkatt ik but like imagine he isnt after them and they see him across the street lol Theyd prolly say smth transphobic, and they then would have a reason to run from him lololo
As a trans woman, I’ll admit that I will miss women making a big deal about my eyes. When I was presenting as male, it was always somehow a big deal that I had “beautiful eyes”. Le Sigh
I am an older person who grew up in complete ignorance of transgender people even existing (as ridiculous as that now sounds). I am grateful to learn from you. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to learn! Some people will hear about something new and immediately reject it, so it's great to hear of someone being open minded and willing to learn new things.
That's not ridiculous at all, Carol! Situations like that are actually relatively common among older folks, from my experiences at least. My 50-year-old mom didn't know much about trans people until I came out to her 4 years ago. Yes, she did say some harmful things at first, but she never intended to hurt me. Yes, it took her a while to adjust to my name and pronouns, but she put in effort into respecting my identity. Despite being very confused about LGBTQIA+ identities, she continues to unconditionally love me for who I am as a queer person. She's trying, and that's all that matters to me It's ok if you were ignorant in the past. What matters now is that you're actively learning and trying to respect us trans people. It's better late than never to educate yourself 💜
My GP got a little flustered when he had to ask me if I had a cervix or not. I am Intersex and transmasculine. I was born without any gendered sexual organs to the point that the doctors couldn't make a medical diagnosis. They literally sent my parents home with me after a whole month of testing and said "pick". So for me, it provided a chuckle when he had to come around to the topic.
I probably got something very wrong; but this comment makes it kinda sound like you neither have a vagina nor a penis. So (if this is not a too intrusive question to ask), where do you pee out of?😅
That is legitimately really funny Edit: Also you have the power when people ask you your biological gender to just be like "I don't know, even the doctor couldn't figure it out"
@@prageruwu69 no she doesn't. If you think that you can blast testosterone injections, look up bodybuilding deaths. Those things can cut your life down to 1/3 of what it's supposed to be.
1:10 It reminds me of when Cracker Barrel added vegan sausage patties to the menu and people said to boycott them. Adding the vegan option to the menu didn't remove other options from it, but it became inclusive to others. It's like the people "boycotting", Cracker Barrel didn't even fully understand or recognize that.
Reminds me of how some conservative Christians take offense at "Happy Holidays" because they think it "erases Christmas" even though Christmas _is a holiday_ and the phrase was meant to be more inclusive.
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 I had that argument with someone at the checkout at the supermarket last year. I wished the checkout person Happy Holidays and the person behind me huffed and said Oh stop it. It's Happy Christmas. To which I replied "And Christmas is a ............" The checkout person laughed and the grouch behind me left 😬
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 I'm Christian and worked a grocery store for 11 1/2 years and every winter holiday time coworkers and customers would say "Merry Christmas", to me and it would make me cringe. If I did reply to them I would say "You too." People can say whatever they want, but it seems like they assume everyone else out there celebrates the season as they do. Then it's like, well what's their reason behind saying "Merry Christmas." Because it seems like if they're doing it out of holiday cheer and whatever then unless you're with other people who you know celebrate as you do, it would be kinder to say "Happy Holidays". These days people are literally just telling strangers "Merry Christmas", because they get some level of satisfaction knowing it could possibly annoy the other person.
@@thisistheaccountname Yeah. I don't celebrate Christmas either. Most of the world doesn't actually celebrate Christmas and some that do celebrate it just as a holiday, not for any religious reasons, like in Japan for instance.
Ignoring the fact that its very weird to photograph strangers at a coffee shop and assume they’re trans, they do realize some cis men naturally have a bigger hip to shoulders ratio and vice versa for cis women?? Like not only is this weird it’s also basically bodyshaming anyone who doesn’t have the “typical” body type for their gender
Yeah, like my partner is a cis man and actually has an hourglass figure, not that its all that obvious. But his chest and hips are both 10" larger than his waist at the narrowest point. Doesn't make him any less a man just because he has some curves on him.
just looking at those people, if I was inclined to make any assumption unprompted at all, I would have assumed both of them are cis. They seriously just look like any average person you'd see on the streets. Not that either of them couldn't be trans, but I'm just not seeing what's so "obvious" to the photographer
Honestly these people get so obsessive about trying to catch trans people irl that they start accusing random cis people of being trans simply bc they committed the high crime of not looking like the most over-exaggerated caricature ever. I remember reading about a very funny instance where a cis terf tried to “clock” a “trans” woman from an image of a protest, and she mostly pointed out their forehead and eyebrow bone structure. She made a huge deal on the specific feature. Soon after her post is seen by more of her terf compatriots, they look at her (op’s) profile picture, and then realized she has the exact same bone structure! They instantly turned on her and lambasted her for “being a TIM.” So ridiculous. They don’t even know what women look like anymore. And also, foreheads are such a weird thing to try and make the case for perfect sexual dimorphism. I used to be very dysphoric about mine (pronounced slope and somewhat heavy brow) but the more I looked at other people’s profiles, the more I realized it’s not that consistent. Like its enough that it makes sense to generalize, but also it’s not that rare to see a cis man with a round forehead 😂
This person seems downright paranoid schizophrenic, to be honest. it is in no way normal behavior to just photograph and scope out people with traits that are associated with the opposite sex, imagine things like that being stuck on your mind 24/7 that's not typical thinking by any means
@@NickyTannock it’s real. If you look up woke homophobia boxer ceiling you’ll eventually find a link to a now censored google photo collaboration. If you put the link to that in the wayback machine you’ll find that it started in 2002 and was last backed up in March of this year. A decade’s worth of anti gay posts coming from trans and non binary people on sites like Twitter tumble and Facebook, on the wayback machine version it doesn’t have the receipts for the hateful messages, however a few people made videos about it and put it on RU-vid as well.
transphobe talking points exist in a bubble, that's why they often say contradicting things. if they only took a bit more time to broaden their context, to see the bigger picture they would get it. for example, people who say the "lgb drop the t" line, forget that literally every trans person has been l g or b at some point of their lives so you would still need to support them all or at least most of them since you would consider straight trans women to be g, straight trans men to be l, and bi trans people to be b.
I am Non-binary and Bisexual and I sometimes I feel bad about it and regret coming out of the closet and every time I feel bad about it I what’s yours videos and I always feel better about being non-binary and my sexuality when I watch your videos.

Me too hat! Yay! What blows my mind is if they "erase all the women" then how is there gonna be bisexuality? Don't you need men AND women for bisexuality to mean anything?
I found it hilarious when you joked about mandatory bisexuality because I just recently realized that I'm bi and I fit 2 out of 3 of those stereotypes.
Haha same, I wear denim and sweaters, roll up my sleeves and pant legs and I cannot make choices for the life of me XD. Haven't listened to Sweater Weather tho.
@@Sophie_Cleverly oh well that's fine too! I think it's just a bunch of weird things we happen to have in common. Idk if they're even that uniquely bi.
Im a 30 year old, feminine, pansexual, trans man who has PCOS. :) Transitioning has helped me in many ways. I am excited for when I finally can afford top surgery.
Today a new student decided to walk into my schools debate club where over half of the club is lgbtq+. We were deciding what we would debate today and this guy suggested trans legislation. The group became sus immediately and asked him some questions. For the rest of the club hour it was 14 vs 1 in a transphobia debate. It was an really engaging debate and fairly civilized, which I never thought was actually possible with transphobes.
“NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE” Jokes aside, i enjoy when ppl have civilized arguements and debates, instead of this guy insulting me, calling me a pedo, and threatening me, funny enough all of his replies got nuked by youtube.
Great timing, I just had a ‘Phobe replying to me on a community post on a different channel, trying to convince me to stop taking T, “find a dad”, and Accept That I Am A MAN. LMAO, they do literally no research.
@@chromedruidess2546 some people think that trans women are caused by absentee fathers. And don’t realize that trans men exist. So basically, they thought that I was a trans woman, and that it was caused by not having a father figure. While I’m actually a man who still lives with his parents (that are still together).
I am genderfluid, AFAB, and demisexual but also attracted to people who identify as men...it's a lot, and I have had both straight and gay cis-people insist that I am just a picky cis-het woman who just dresses like a guy. As a result, it took me decades to come out, and I am actually only out to very few people because I pass, but it's totally not a phase I wish transphobes who stop pushing that idea.
@@krimsonkatt bruh that's such a weird assumption to make based on this persons comment. They literally said it took them decades to come out and you're like "hmmm might be a 12 year old tho"????? And they said nothing to even imply whether they do or don't experience gender euphoria/dysphoria (which is literally none of your business anyway lmao), so where are you getting that idea from? Please stop trying to "educate" people about their own identities when they 1) did not ask for your input and 2) know themselves better than anyone else
@@krimsonkatt Dude you know nothing about this person but feel comfortable saying they don’t experience dysphoria or euphoria off one comment of a few sentences. I highly doubt they’re under 25 as they said in their comment that it’s taken *decades* to feel comfortable coming out. Also people under 25 are able to understand their gender and not have it be a phase. Yes people are allowed to be tomboys and it’s definitely easier within society but that’s why this person knows they are nonbinary. They didn’t go “I like to wear masculine clothes that must mean I’m not a woman”. Probably more like “I have been told I was a woman all my life but I know I’m not so I’ll make the difficult decision to accept that and embrace who I really am”.
I'm a grown adult and I'm nonbinary and deeeeeeep in the closet because it's hard to feel valid. I feel gender dysphoria but I'm not even sure what I could do to be "genderless". So, like, yeah, I'm just a "girl that dresses like a guy" or whatever. I don't talk about that anymore. I'm too tired.
@@krimsonkatt I understand where you're coming from and what you're trying to avoid, but gender is indeed a social construct. This is one of the scientific foundations of gender studies. The problem is simply that people have a very poor understanding of the notion of social construct. Saying that something is a social construct is not at all the same as saying that it "doesn't really exist", quite the contrary. Social constructs are deeply inscribed in our societies and shape our identities. "Physical and mental gender" absolutely doesn't exist apart from social. It doesn't make our identities any less valid, because our identities are inseparable from the social structures that shape them. Philosophytube has an awesome video about it, called "Social construct", I recommend it to everyone
"Titty Skittles" is new but I call mine Feminems all the time! Glad to see it's just common vocabulary 🤣 Has she ever called herself a "Build-A-B/tch"? 😂
I am not an expert in any of this, I am just a CIS woman who likes to learn about other people and how I can be respectful of them, but I am beginning to think that transphobes are afraid that they are or will be mistaken as trans? I mean why else would you spend so much time fighting something that doesn't affect you? They're rather embarrassing for the rest of us that just want to support your community!
Hi there! Fellow Cis gal here. I think it's wonderful that you are willing to take the time to learn about people and be respectful to them! That is commendable! 😊 There is a theory that transphobia stems not from a fear of trans people, but rather a fear that they themselves are a trans person and are in denial of it. Many experience jealousy from seeing people so open with their identity while they feel they have to hide theirs. Nether of these are excusable though. Lashing out at people out of fear or jealousy is still wrong and hurtful. And yeah, they are an embarrassment. Sadly they are also very loud and vocal and they drown out the positive voices. We hear noise before we can hear music. 😔
I feel that homophobia and transphobia often go hand-in-hand for the same reason: most homophobes are Christian, and biological sex equating to gender is VERY important to them. For instance, I had a conversation with my mother. She's not outwardly homophobic because she takes a "judge not" stance, but she does think non-heterosexuality is wrong, and is willfully ignorant when it comes to trans people despite my stepbrother being trans male. Anyway, our conversation was a hypothetical scenario I had presented to her. She's young and engaged to the perfect boyfriend. He's so handsome, kind, devoted, and a master in the sheets. On the day of their wedding, he confesses to her that he was born as a girl. Would she still marry him? She said no. She could never be with a "woman." Even if "she" looked like a man, treated her right, and she had fallen madly in love with "her", my mom said she would never be a lesbian. It's so disappointing. I don't know how to make her understand anything related to LGBT, especially my own identity as aroace. Anytime the subject comes up anymore, I just deflect because it gets so exhausting saying the same things and not a word of it being heard. Well, sorry for the comment novel. But thank you for being supportive and willing to educate yourself.
@@wintergray1221 I am sure that is awfully hard for you and your brother to live with. There is a lot of insecurity in being phobic about other people's differences. Also, my being autistic/neurodivergent really helps me to understand other people's differences easier. I know what discrimination feels like!
Most transphobes are scared that they will be tricked into certain levels of physical intimacy with trans people, if the individual transperson isn't open that they're trans and it scares them, especially the homophobes
This is random but for April Fools this year, you should release a video and call it "Is Your Mother Okay" and have the whole video just be your mom jokes
@@Person-wv5on "trans" is "trans women" is an adjective, it means "women that are trans", I'm the word "transgender" (and many other), the PREfix "trans_" comes from the latin, meaning "in the opposite side of". Trans women are women that were assigned male at birth
Boys and men have no problem calling other boys and men "girls" and "women", but have a difficult time or just generally refuse to call trans girls "girls" and "women"! They only use those terms as insults! Well if that's the case, I'm a trans girl and you can just insult me by calling me a "girl" or a "woman"! Please!
Because they refused to "be sheep" and "follow the herd" to the point where they will literally make themselvces stand out so much that they paradoxically become easier to ridicule due to their "individuality". Or, you know, get eaten by wolves or summat
@Donnell0303 why are you even here? No, seriously why? If you don't like the content and are just going to be transphobic then why engage? Just go and sit in your little transphobic echo chamber and watch your good little transphobic content.
I'm not sure exactly how old I was when I learned about the possibility of being transgender, though I'm pretty sure it was in high school, so the 2000s. It made perfect sense to me when it was described as the brain not matching the body. I'd heard of and learned about lots of different birth defects before - biology and anatomy nerd here - so it made perfect sense to me that, as a trans person, you'd change whatever might be needed or wanted on the body so it matches the brain living in it. Since you can't change the brain, change the body. People change LOTS of things due to birth defects. No one has said anything about me fixing my eyes or removing a bad gall bladder. Both were birth defects and I elected to have them fixed. It shouldn't be considered any different, whatever form a person's transition takes.
@@gazepskotzs4 Hell, using soap and water to wash our hands goes against our biology and I don't see anyone getting screaming mad at that aspect of public restrooms.
@@gazepskotzs4 has anyone got heart surgery because they identify as having heart disease when they haven't or have they taught their child they can do this if they're not suffering? What if someone identifies as disabled, should they sever their leg?
Being biased isn't always a bad thing. It makes things like history and journalism difficult, but it's fine for activism. After all, activism is all about spreading your opinion and opinions are biased by their very nature. You shouldn't have a cold, disinterested and passionless view of the things you're fighting for. So long as you can back up your biased opinions with facts, you're all good.
11:15 Yeah, you'd think they'd understand how dysphoria feels after that post... To put it into another perspective, I'd rather have died in the middle of my bottom-surgery than not even _attempt_ to get it done. Seven years ago I came to the realization I'd rather die than live as a man - and I'm too fuckin' stubborn to die.
Same, if my doctor told there was a 90% chance that top surgery would kill me, I’d still get it. I actually could have a heart attack due to being on testosterone but I don’t care, I’d rather fucking die then keep living like this.
The person complaining about baldness, who I assume is a FTM trans person...many, many cis men experience hair loss so even though they admitted that PCOS meant they'd started losing their hair pre-transition, it's strange to complain about it in the way they were as many people experience baldness and it's even seen as a sign of virility and masculinity by some.
i think they might have been saying they were already losing hair, but that they think testosterone has expedited the process or made them lose more hair than they would have if they hasn't taken it. that's my best guess to make it make sense
That's just a grift. "Oh yeah, sure. Total transition regret here. Give moneys, please. What, detransition?! Naw, I... I'm too far gone or whatever..." The vague waffling about supposed others, the continued HRT, it just doesn't make any sense. This has to be about farming TERFs for money and/or clout.
"I took T and went bald. Losing my hair made me sad, so I'm gonna attack the transes!!!" Like, seriously, hair loss is a major source of dysphoria for people of any gender, and there are plenty of ways to treat it without being a massive douchenoodle about it.
They admitted in the thread that they didn't want to detransition and they were happy to be perceived as a male/masculine person, it's a huge grift in their part
It's not those people's fault necessarily. Some people (like me) have been brainwashed by conservative traditionalist propaganda to an extent in their lives, and as a result have a much harder time to adjust to this constantly changing, ever globalizing world with its own newspeak, rules and standards. People in the West (such as North America and Europe) don't always understand just how privileged they are when compared to the rest of the world. Greetings from Russia. I hope one day we can be friends again.
@@perimele6 Yes, if someone has a wonky heart leave it alone. Sure they may not live very long, but that's what is natural, right? Also, all those children undergoing premature puberty at age four, leave those alone too. Don't give them all those chemicals to make them stop until they are the right age. /s If you're making the argument that, well of course that's not healthy, plenty of non trans people get surgeries and treatments on healthy tissue for a variety of reasons, such as nose jobs, breat reductions/enlargements, botox, etc. Nobody questions this the way trans people get questioned about gender affirming treatments and surgeries. To condone the first set and condemn the second is inherently transphobic.
I'm not here to erase women, I'm here being one. And I'm pansexual but I'm not here to force that on anyone. My parents are cis and straight, my brother and sister-in-law are cis straight, yay happy cishets! Heck I'm a trans woman dating a trans man, I'm in straight relationship with extra steps.
im genderfluid and pansexual but my parents arent accepting so im not out and i die inside everytime my dad says something transphobic and homophobic. im glad some people can have accepting parents
I'm so sorry to hear about you're situation. I hope that either they come around eventually or you can get out of there to live as your true self. And yeah, family is messy. Like my family isn't phobic, but I wouldn't call them supportive either, they don't hate my queerness but they're ignorant and don't wanna learn. Anyway, hope your situation gets better!❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you don’t have a supportive family! I hope they will come around and you will build a chosen family around you that will be welcoming and accepting. You are 100% supported and accepted on this channel!! It sounds like you’re still young, so you are probably still dependent on your parents. It will get better little by little the older you get, I promise. Hold on!
@@trevorchester4439 Mate, I'm as cisgender as they come. There's no need to be trans to empathize with someone else's shitty experiences, just not being an arsehole.
there are treatments for going bald. instead of looking for them that person decided to take the worst option. the best option is learning how to live with it, because going bald is natural for men and should be respected
@@renkazakiewich427 sorry you're made to feel uncomfortable with your appearance. women with baldness should be respected just as much as men. my ex mother in law had some baldspots in her hair, due to genetics. women that go through chemo are also made to feel like shit for going bald when it's simply a consequence of a medical treatment. that happens to cis and trans women and i think people need to stop being assholes and treat others well.
No friends, don't do this! They're gonna call you "woke" & try to sell you powdered eggs for the inevitable apocalypse. Don't do it! This will no doubt summon a vast army of MLM huns that will never stop. Never. 😂🐣
Fun dress code fact: the "pants are for men, skirts are for women thing" weirded out a bunch of Ye Olde Cultures, too, including the Romans. They went up north, saw men wearing pants, an article of clothing hitherto only seen on images of Asian women, and assumed they were wimpy, effeminate types. Real men, after all, wear togas. And have to be threatened with fines to do so, because five square meters of wool is very heavy and very hot to have on each time you leave your house.
the dress code one made me laugh cause just yesterday I was talking to my boss at the very well known company I work at (it's a global brand with luxury products but I ain't gonna doxx myself) and they've asked me (a nonbinary person) how they can better update their dress code HR policies to be more broad and inclusive as they've realised the current one is heavily gendered. it's a simple thing but shows how much they're pushing to be more understanding and reasonable with a diversity of staff.
4:23 I did hear that you can have biochemical dysphoria from having a brain which is programmed to receive X hormone, in a body producing Y hormone.Just the act of correcting that does a lot of good
I had someone tell me recently that they know at least 10 trans people and "all but 2 of them have fully regretted it!" I tried to tell her that the rate of de-transitioning is low. But she also then said that one friend regrets her breast implants because they are a kind that has been recently called back and they weren't good for her health. I dont think that equates to her friend de-transitioning. It's the same as a cis woman regretting her breast augmentation. She wouldn't listen and I 2as not in a place where I could discuss it further so I dropped it. I also realize I'm not trans and don't get to make those distinctions. I would love input from trans voices -only if you have the energy (self care is important) Also if I have worded something offensively please let me know. I know there is always more to learn. Thanks in advance to any responses.
I'm a mom of a teen NB and it's been a journey for me to come to full acceptance...I love my kid but just really didn't understand how complex gender can be. Channels like yours have really helped me grow and be a better parent. I'm grateful that my kids felt they could come to me. I see lots of their friends not telling parents if they're transitioning or questioning and hiding their chosen names. It breaks my heart. It took time for me to accept, but I always recognized it was a ME issue, not my child's issue. Ultimately I decided I don't need to understand to accept. I just need to line them and educate myself as much as I can. Thank you for the part you played getting me here.
@@kitwillihnganz5972 it's no worries, she's openly homophobic and I came out to her because I didn't care to hide anything from her anymore and couldn't care less if she didn't support me. Overall I have a bunch of supportive family members so it doesn't bother me too much
I'm still in middle of watching the video but I had to comment on the mandatory bisexuality and the erasure of women... because if there is an erasure of women, how would bisexuality even be a possibility? Some people just make no sense in their stupid rants...
Right? Those things are directly contradictory. It's very strange. Although, it tracks that bigots' arguments don't make sense. There is not sense in bigotry.
"Men wear trousers and women wear skirts." My school did this until this year. They've been open 7 years but this year they changed the dress code so girls could wear skirts. And my androgynous presenting she/they self was extremely happy. Still won't let boys wear skirts though, which is sad.
Wow, my school has been open for 60 years, I entered it in 2011. They forced boy to wear trousers and girls to wear skirts… they even made me loose a year because I refused to wear skirts, every single day I was send to the principal and every single day I had to endure the “you are a GIRL so you MUST wear a skirt” bs, I spent a total of 8 years in that school but never give them the “onor” (as the called it) of seeing me in a skirt… on my last year there they changed the school rules so girl could wear trousers but not more than three times a week (school week was six days) and in total they had to wear skirts for at least 70% of the total school days (professors keep count). Still never wear a skirt, even when the principal called me out for it during an assembly in front of the whole school (about 1800 kids) Really loved high school (joking obviously)
One time some boys at my high school staged a "protest," whining about how girls got preferential treatment because they could choose to wear skirts or trousers. One of the teachers got sick of it, looked up the school dress code, and told them there was no rule against boys wearing skirts. The next day they wore skirts to school to "protest," only to discover that absolutely nobody cared. Nobody tried to make them change, nobody laughed or got upset; we all just went about our business. They did it for a couple more days and then stopped.
@@ttintagel i don't get it, why'd the protest after that? didn't they get exactly what they wanted? wernet they complaining girls got options they didnt ?
I have a friend who's parent is a pre-k to 1st grade teacher. They wear make-up, dresses, and dyes his hair a bunch of colors. Yet their pronouns are they/him. He teaches 3-7 year olds and none of the parents are mad. They're not going to force them to take testosterone or force them to be gay. People need to calm down
12:12 - maybe that individual just has a family history of male pattern baldness (such as the hairline receding the way it is depicted) being relatively early onset? I know that’s something that’s happened in my family (my uncle started greying and having hair loss in his 20s) so when i get to a gender clinic and discuss testosterone, i’m gonna mention it. because i know it’s a thing in my family. a thing id rather not have any time soon. a thing that can be adjusted for with other meds. like…i’ve seen a lot of upset about it but of course testosterone is gonna make you look like your cis dad/brother/uncle - that’s how it affects your family?!?!? personally i’m hoping it’ll make me look more like my uncle (i mean, my mum’s genes have been strong so far, and they’re not too different beyond one has an estrogen hormone system and the other has a testosterone one. ok and build, but i don’t know how much of that is the hormones either). like…surely you know men in your family? and whether they lose or keep their hair? even if you can’t ask them? or maybe you can? also with the PCOS thing - from my understanding of it, it increases the level of testosterone you have in your system (like it is considered an intersex condition because of this), so…sure, taking more testosterone probably accelerated it, but it was already happening BECAUSE OF natural testosterone (probably, im spitballing here, but it is known testosterone is increased by PCOS and that testosterone is the hormone that makes you grow facial hair and lose head hair, which is why that can happen with PCOS, so it makes sense)
I am sick of people calling any LGBT+ flag a political flag. Yes it is raised in support of gay rights and equality movements, but more often then not it is raised for people to express themselves or like that shop show support for the community. It's only seen as a political flag by "not okay" straight people, who then run off and make it a political agenda. Let people be themselves. 🏳️🌈
I just had an extended discussion with someone who honestly tried to convince me that trans women breastfeeding (which I had just found out was possible and got exited about) will lead to cis man getting into women's prison pretending to be trans and SAing other inmates. Because it was "denying biological facts". This person also felt that her being a lesbian was relevant to this discussion. In the end, she stopped replying after I asked her for a source after giving mine and she claimed RU-vid wouldn't let her post it.
No no, you don't understand. Everything is about her, always at all times. How dare you add extra reasons why she shouldn't commit that (possibly SA) crime she's been planning? 😂
It's possible because cisgender men can and have done that too. Both male and female bodies have functional breast tissue, just in different quantities, and both are capable of producing the hormone prolactin. This also means it's possible for cis men to get breast cancer as well, which is something to be aware of.
the only people denying biological facts and putting ideology over it are transphobes. their ideology says "men can't breastfeed", but then both trans men and women (and cis men too sometimes) can do it, so they just have to deny it instead of adapting to the new information.
@@littlecatfeet9064 Breast milk. Women are awesome, but they aren't sacred or superior to men. It's all the same fluids coming out the same glands caused by the same hormones.
13:00 this person was upset because hormone replacement therapy,,, replaced their hormones like haven't you heard of the effects of testosterone before transitioning?
I’ve heard a quote before “you’re so used to privilege that equality feels like oppression” it feels so powerful to me. The whole “if you’re a king for years then it becomes a democracy it feels like you’re a peasant” (cuz apparently I can only think in completely unrelated connections?) idea is so true. You can be the president in this democracy and have the highest power (cis het nuerotypical white men) but if you don’t have complete power it can seem like you have none and I see many people basing their views on this claiming they’re being oppressed just because some people came out and said “you’re a shitty king let’s all have some level of power at least”. Also the quote came from a person on tik toc and YT shorts called The Mann. He’s a great advocate for people who aren’t cis het white men. He is a cis het white man but he advocates for us and unfortunately, society is a bitch and needs a cis het white man to say that he agrees with us before they’ll listen. Anyways go check him out. The Mann is great.
Seems a lot of the hate and negativity comes from pretty selfish places. "Oh you wanna have srs and top surgery? Well **I** would miss my chest or pp so you would surely miss it too" This goes for cis people having certain procedures too mind you. "You, a cis woman don't want this large of a chest? Well I as a male doctor like your chest and I won't ruin that" And it has happened. I heard of doctors refusing breast reduction or reduced less than the patient requested because the surgeon liked them at that size They behave as if the person haven't thought this through And like Jammi says. Nobody is being erased just because of an inclusive umbrella term like "people with a womb" or "people with a pp" is used. But people seem to sprint for the victim card because they think it's some kinda ultimate move
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR JAMIE TO DESCRIBE BISEXUALITY WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT MANDATORY BISEXUALITY FUCK YOU (/joking /lighthearted) MY PHONE CASE IS AMAZING, SHIRTS JUST LOOK BETTER THAT WAY, AND CHAIRS ARE HOMOPHOBIC. I literally love this man so much what a bi icon, he just went back to speaking after that, after stripping all of us naked
Transitioning is the best decision I ever made. Being my genuine self has given me so much confidence it's astounding. The only things that have ever sucked about being trans femme are how society treats me. When I realized that it got really easy to ignore the four jokes the attack helicopter mafia slings at us.
Hey Jamie, you probably won't see this, but I just want to thank you. When I first started watching you I was in a bad place and my relationship with my gender identity and sexuality was so confusing to me. Seeing you being so confident and just existing as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and you saying that everyone is valid helped me so much. I have now managed to sort through who I am, come out to my friends and I am working on coming out to my family. So thank you so so much for doing what you do. ❤️❤️
11:21 I am a cis woman and have always considered myself an LGBTQ+ ally, but have always said “I don’t understand what it must feel like to be ……(insert LGBTQ+ identity here) but this REALLY explains it well for me- like yeah/ the idea of feeling so uncomfortable in your own. Key that you want to run screaming from your own existence must be HORRIBLE!? (The only thing I can remotely compare it to is that I am obese and disabled with a whole host of medical issues that make my life hard, and I’d LOVE to live ina healthy body- but no one is bashing me/threatening my existence/ completely shunning me(ish?) for being disabled and fat!?)
Funny how transphobes will do the "it's not a phobia because phobia means fear" thing every now and then but also the rhetoric of "intimidating women" and all that shit shows they do fear us, for some insane reason
Most of the female ones definitely fear transwomen in public bathrooms. Transwomen are there to do the exact same thing that they go there for and nothing more
@@tjenadonn6158 Which is just so pointless because, you know, Internet. These books are readily available on the Internet, sooooooo yeah, don't really get why they do it
Lol, 2:00 I did this a while back to a picture of myself from 20 years ago, and my shoulders were double the width of my waist, and my hips were 1.5 of my waist. Here I was thinking I was born a woman, but apparently my wide shoulders say I’m a man? (To clarify, I’m a cishet woman). It’s also too short, because she’s standing on an angle…
Not only is the regret rate SUPER low with those who have transition, the majority of thos who have expressed regret list things like lack of social support and discrimination as the reasons why they regret transitioning. So it's not the fact that they were trans or that they transitioned, it's that people suck and don't support them. So if people were more supportive/accepting, the rate of regret would essentially disappear!
The lack of support and vilification are used to disincentivise transitioning in the first place. They are uncomfortable with afabs and amabs being able to switch sex. It causes a lot of insecurity for 'cis' folk
how tf do they have all that energy thinking about things that are irrelevant to them and hating people they've never met, and here i am dead tired after 1 phone call, fucking unfair
Your videos are a clam in the storm that is my life rn, I'm in a really toxic enviroment. This is a little vent so if you don't wanna read it pls scroll past it, thanks! I'm 18, and I recently got an appointment to start the process of getting testosterone bcs I'm a trans man. I told my mom I was gonna go (the hospital is like 2h on bus from where I live so I had to tell her) and she got furious. She menaced me with taking away all my communication outside our house (aka wifi, movile phone, pc...) if I went to get the T. She nearly kicked me out of the house, and told me that she would rather push herself out the window than see me transition. I'm trying to get a job and get money to rent a little room by myself but it is hard. The dysphoria has been really bad all my life but it's getting even worse now. If you are still here thanks for reading! I'm strong and I will get past this, we all can
It sucks that your mom is not just unsupportive, but actually so aggressively against what you're doing. It sounds like you have a fairly good handle on the situation though, so i won't worry about you, 🤥 (well not much), & wish you a bon voyage along your transition journey. Good luck finding a place & getting settled in, i hope it's not too difficult & goes smoothly. I also hope you manage to keep your mom from spoiling the excitement of spreading your wings, leaving the nest & the fun of creating your own for the first time. I'm 65, have lived on 3 continents & moved umpteen times while still with my parents & even more after, so now i dread moving. I still remember though, the excitement & joy of moving into & setting up my first 'home of my own'. I hope yours is a wonderful experience. I wish you all the best for your future & that any complications you encounter are minor & easily dealt with. 💜☮️
Actually, I agree with one of those posts. There is an erasure of women going on. Erasure of tall women. Erasure of long-legged women. Erasure of women with small breasts. Erasure of women with the v-shaped collarbone. Erasure of women with broad shoulders. Erasure of women with prominent chins. Erasure of women with stronger jawlines. Erasure of women with pronounced brows. Erasure of strong women. Erasure of women winning in sports. Erasure of women with bodily hair. Erasure of masculine women. Erasure of women who wear men's clothing. Erasure of women with facial hair. Erasure of childfree women. Erasure of women who cannot have children. Erasure of women without natural lubrication. Erasure of women without periods. Erasure of women who had plastic surgery. Erasure of women with tattoos on their hands. Erasure of women with low voices. Erasure of women with an untypical hormonal background. Erasure of women who do not fit unrealistic standards of femininity. And on and on and on. That's what happens if one is into a witchhunt for transwomen. Suddenly nothing is enough to be a "real woman". The previous list is from transphobic resource who teach "signs of a trans woman"
Absolutely. Before I came out, I was very visibly masculine and queer and I was harassed in the bathroom constantly. Constantly. Even though I had a huge pair of knockers. Since transitioning, I haven't been harassed once. Not a single time.
The second post is from a "transvestigator", basically a conspiracy theorist that beleives random people are secretly trans. I feel like they are just deeply closeted because all their post are like "How could a MAN have such pretty eyes and a big juicy bubble butt?! This is clearly a WOMAN and that's the only explanation."
When testosterone was the dominant hormone in my body, I was _unbelievably_ depressed. It was only after I started HRT that my baseline emotional state went up. So, no, I don't think it does have an antidepressant effect, thank you very much
I got into a whole argument bc some asshole was being homophobic and he brought up trans people and dangit I wish I had watched Jammie’s videos back then
The # of people falling in love with Taika Waititi's pretty doe eyes all over twitter would like to fight the person that thinks men can't have pretty eyes lol
The whole testosterone making you bald thing reminds me of Hbomberguy, who has naturally higher than normal testosterone, and all it's done to him is make him lose most of his hair over the last few years, which is something he used in a reply video to the kinds of idiots who idolise high-testosterone in cis men - he has it, and all it's done is make him bald.
