ty for my enlightenment. i like a trans gender woman. i've held off asking for a date, because i didn't know what she or others would think about me.through your videos i know now it's OK to feel attracted to transwomen . it doesn't matter what people think, only how you as a individual feel about another person. She is a person and you should respect that. be brave
If you’re ONLY attracted to trams women, then it’s a fetish, so I hope that isn’t the case. But it sounds like its one particular person that you care for, so that’s good. If you are an older man, you shouldn’t give two fucks what anybody thinks about what you do.
I am an older lady. I have never had experience with trans people so I am glad I found your channel. I am really starting to understand trans . I know a young man, I have known him since he was 2. He has always wanted to be trans but he has kept it hidden because his father would strongly disapprove. It is so sad to see him in his late twenties with no significant other because of this. Thank you for educating me❤️🇨🇦
@@rocknjackie but feeling you are unable to live as your true self can affect relationships and make a person feel isolated. They may not feel comfortable pursuing romantic relationships.
@@rocknjackie that’s not what she was saying. She was saying that when you can’t live yourself fully your, love yourself for who you are and feel accepted, you can’t find the right person for you and live the life you are t ugly meant to live. Obviously she understands sex and gender and two separate things..this is truth that applies to everybody, not just with gender and sex, but with literally anything that makes up what we are. Anything can hold us back from eventually having a partner and successful long lasting relationship. If we can’t live authentically with ourselves then here is no hope of doing it with somebody else, period.
@@dukeljk2191 doctors don't... Diagnose people, psychologists do and just because you deny the existence of gender dysphoria it doesn't mean its gonna go away.
Regarding the sports thing: Competitive sports is basically a genetic advantage competition. Most if not all top competitive athletes have some kind of genetic advantage that made them this good, it's not pure skill and dedication.
I am really glad your recovery from surgery is going as well as can be. We have never met but I do care a great deal about you. You are obviously a very smart, mature caring and compassionate person.
I'm just a mum of four and i randomly came across your videos and found them enlightening and i just wanted to thank you so much for sharing with us and you've touched my heart and from my heart i just want to let you know that i wish you well in every way ❤️
I really have learned alot from you Maya. I would never discriminate against a trans person. People have such shallow minds in this world Thank you for trying to open people's minds to your inner feelings. You have a fantastic way of communicating and getting your points across. Thank you Stay healthy and safe!!
@@pissedbutlogical7453 actually it depends. The average post puberty skeletal structure has advantages over the average female skeletal structure. Post puberty, some women do develop larger bone structures as well. Also depending on hormone levels during puberty, just like hair a lot of women do have large and more advantaged skeletal structures. Oh look, actual science talking about averages. Yet you said its X period. Hmmmm wonder why.
@@selfishlyintrigued yes it depends on hormones. But it sounds like your talking about an outlier type case. Plus you do realize that working out raises your testosterone levels so there is also an advantage as they were working out as men for most there lives if they were athletes. Which in most cases of professionals they have been doing it for a while.
14 yr olds lol try 20's to make fun of what they don't know about is easy. The hard part is becoming a better person than that Child. Many are still Children when it comes to sexuality and gender of others not assigned by Birth.
@Patrick R Lol does nobody see the hipocrisy in this statement? You are being sexist toward boys. What makes you different from the people who created the memes. 🤦♂️
I'm a 66 year old gay male.It wasn't so hot in the 70s and 80s. There's much more freedom now.I know you've heard it before.Just try your best.Don't waste your time with negatives, they'll always be around.You've spent a lot of time , pain and money to get to be you.Be happy with your god given beauty
Hello Maya , you are a gorgeous woman and are very capable and talented at depicting your transition, wish you all the best and hope you achieve the best of your dreams and desires. ✌🖖🤙❤
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, they allowed the crew to choose to wear either the traditional uniform or the uniform that looked like a short dress, at least in the early seasons. Even towards the end, they had "dress uniforms" which were also essentially dresses. The only person who ever says anything about it is Worf, who is immediately shot down by RIker . So the essential idea is that in that era, clothing is no longer gendered. There's also a theory that several characters from the Star Trek franchise could have been trans, but it's so much of a non issue by then that it never really comes up. I could imagine 7 Of 9 being trans. Imagine she's a young trans girl who's only just started living as her true self, only to have her entire personality taken away by the Borg. Maybe that's why she dresses in such a way to show off her femininity for most of her time on Voyager. She's making up for lost time. I also find it amusing to think of Kirk as a transman. Mostly because I know it'd really piss Shatner off. But it could explain a lot about him. His macho bravado could be a way of compensating for the fact that he was raised as a girl.
TNG had a race of genderless people, the J'Naii, in the episode "The Outcast". One of them identified as female and took a liking to Riker. And Discovery has added an enby and a trans man to the crew.
A really articulate and meaningful discussion for viewers of any background; thanks very much for addressing memes and the preconceived ideas inspired by them , as well as the tiresome strides they reinforce and/or inspire
There is a lot of negativity around the world about trans topics but I do feel that if there were more young girls like you out there to express the meaning it would eventually change Minds. I know I probably shouldn't say this but I do believe that Blaire White's channel should be shut down
Really? I think Blaire has done more for the trans community than pretty much anybody else that I can think of. Blaire is exactly what the world needs. A bridge to reach people on the "other side".
@@fluffylittlebear you are entitled to your opinion I am just sorry you don't see what she does. I'm really not going to get into a debate about what Blair why should do or not but I respect your opinion
Isn't it kind obvious? She's a beautiful trans woman that appeals to people who lean to the right politically. There are people who used to be transphobic, but aren't anymore, because of Blaire, like Stephen Crowder fans.
As a trans woman, I can’t even deal with some of these memes all over social media 💆🏾♀️ okay not going to like some of them are funny (at the end of the day we have to learn to laugh 🙆🏽♀️ to deal) but a lot of them continues to feed the hate and stigma! Also, hello from Toronto!!
Interesting and engaging topic. I also would respond to your comments regarding holding the door open for another person. My parents taught me to hold the door for anyone following, whether you know them or not, whether female or male, regardless of age. I'm 72 and walk with crutches and have had many people hold open the door for me, including a young person with purple hair in a Mohawk style to which I responded "thank you". Simple courtesy. And, years ago, my son held the door for a woman behind him and she yelled at him for several minutes because she "could open the door herself and didn't need his help. He was stunned, but still holds the door for anyone as he was taught to do. Congratulations on another fine video.
Im so sorry my Dear, You are so pretty and nice on educating people, and hope you get true all these negative writings and keep your insights clean of all those negatives vibes. hugs
Hey Maya, you look absolutely gorgeous and stunning, your hair and makeup looks amazing! Hope your doing well during your recovery, so happy for you and wishing you the best!😊
im really glad to hear you're doing well Maya. Mine is coming up kinda fast so, seeing you do it makes me excited for my own. Hateful comments aside, Congrats
Interesting topic. I was actually looking for a 3D software called Maya. I was not expecting this channel but it's cool. See you next time as well. Fascinating
Disclosure is probably the best documentary made so far on transgender information. It amazingly shows how most of society has been almost trained on negative stereotypes, including transgender people themselves.
the argument is they dont want to be seen with me because im trans, thats transphobic as shit. but to not want to date me cause im trans is whatever. I dont want to date people for a multitude of reasons, some might be phsyical, some might be internal, some might be choices they have made. I dont think anyone should be shamed for it. id rather someone not want to date me then to be ashamed of dating me.
@@taneabree this comment just made me unsubscribe as well... cuz yesss that’s exactly how I feel & im transgender myself! her videos were making me very closed minded & biased towards my own community especially her videos about non binary people they are very disgusting & invalidating towards them it’s crazy how I’m just now realizing how bad of a person she is.
Not that I'm a representative of Blaire in any way shape or form, but... facts are facts. I know it is _easier_ AND more _feel good_ to live in a hug-boxy world where everyone is super special, everyone is a winner, everyone is valid, everyone is a special snowflake but I'd rather live in an uglier reality than a prettier facade. Literally why Blaire is a conservative Trump supporter like me; we prefer reality to delusion. Red Pill > Blue Pill
I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor on stuff like many of these memes. Let's be honest, memes NEVER get into any of the nuances of bigger issues. While I'd hope we all agree that there are societal issues that require honest and open discussion, memes are not where where we'll find it. I've always believed that humor is a great way to break the ice on social issues and allows us to approach uncomfortable topics, but humor can't come from a place of hate or prejudice. BTW, on an unrelated note, that hair color is gorgeous on you!
I don't think I care about the gender of the Tyrannosaurus that's chasing me. XD I freaking love your videos. Your post-op video was terrific! You are amazing and so freaking brave!
Prostate removal to avoid cancer, but stats show that when change natural hormones on regular bases there is more risky have early onset of different cancers.
@@johnny14980 They don’t receive that much hate. They receive about the same amount of hate as any other “group” Every race, religion, gender, have people that hate them.
@@marcusmaire8197 nah that's a lie dude lol. Being trans puts you in a very awkward situation. They are not the same as every other group. You really gonna say trans people have the same barriers as say, cis-Hispanic people? I don't think so.
These Memes are evidence that people just are afraid of what they don’t understand. It’s important that trans people let go of the ignorance in others and not take it personally. They know not what they’re doing because they don’t understand. I’m so glad that you have overcome that and are sharing this with the world. You are such a blessing!!! I am a sis woman and I have transgender friends who struggle and this gives me so much hope for them! I love how you are reaching out to the community and sharing your thoughts. It’s so powerful!! We are all connected, genderless deep down and at the core of our being is love, light, gratitude and forgiveness. Thank you for shining your light on this topic🌈🦋🌻
Although I am 100% behind this gorgeous woman. You can't expect society in general to just accept people like this. That's just the way it is. Live your life in just don't care what other people say, because there not in your life.
This may sound stupid but at what point are you not considered transgender. I look at you and see nothing but a woman a beautiful one at that . It is now that your outside matches your inside . It is all a state of mind .
When nikkie tutorials came out as trans she painted an interesting story of somebody who didn't owe the world an explanation of her transition because her transition was already over by the time she flourished in her career. i think at the end of the day trans is just a label that can be helpful and help someone feel less alone and help them get the resources and support they need on their journey to self-actualization, which is vastly different for every individual. i think it's up to every individual whether they want to continue to refer to themselves as trans or not, but I think many trans people want to continue to advocate for the safety and rights of people who have not come out yet, so they tend to want to build a healthy open community. Maya also brought up a point that if a trans person is dating somebody new, they might be at risk of discrimination or even violence if they are perceived to be deceiving somebody. there is a lot of internalized transphobia in society so in any situation a trans person has to decide whether it's safer for them to disclose that they are trans, or safer to not touch that subject and walk away... I can't imagine how scary it must be at times. I want to live in a world where it is safe for everybody to be who they are :(
People care way too much about the appearance of the body. We are our mind. Bodies are just "things", like trees, mountains, skateboards. The body is an accessory.
Such a great video, and Maya, I love how these things are not offensive to you.That says a lot about your character. The meme that I thought was interesting was the one with the four squares, pink hair and oranges in the green bra. I think what the community is saying here is that it’s hypocritical for anyone to expect society to accept them when they don’t accept themselves. The character didn’t like his body so he changed it but then was frustrated that the rest of the world wasn’t accepting the alterations they made and I think personally with the issue here is that we could find great joy in allowing people to express themselves however they choose. If someone isn’t comfortable in their own body why should it matter to us? If everyone would just love each other for who we are deep down, everyone would be more able to accept themselves regardless of the external. I’ll see you for who you truly are, and you are amazing and beautiful and I also love how you are working towards making your exterior match your interior. You are absolutely beautiful and courageous and I’m so deeply grateful for your generous offering of yourself to the world through your videos. It is transforming, no pun intended. 💕🙏🏻🌻
I really appreciate this video Maya. It would seem we are either pathetic figures to be satirized & mocked (i.e. just a 'joke'), or a bunch of pushy, arrogant trans people who want to force our 'lifestyle choice' down the cis world's throat! It's a sort of "blaming the victim" rhetorical strategy. It chooses to ignore the reality of transgender people as largely the victims of transphobic hate and violence, even murder. The truth of transphobic discrimination in the workplace and other institutional settings is thus minimalized. How convenient! The reality of having to struggle for basic recognition of our humanity and worth can thus be dismissed. Just as intriguing, as you point out, is the phenomenon of cismen who are secretly attracted to us and can't admit it to themselves, or feel threatened by society's view of themselves if they do, as somehow less of a man. Sad. Thank god you found someone like Igor! You inspire me every day Maya! Thank you so much. I really respect your courage.
8:38 I actually think the reason showing people as trans is kind of a new concept is to avoid making us look bad... like they only seem to think of the sterotypes and dont realize we go from valley girl to a tomboy farmer and we act like everyone else and I think they want us to stand out but they dont know how to do that without making a mockery of us so its just easier to show us at the end of transition not standing out at all.
I mean for sci fi I'm torn. In the future trans people won't exist and most trans people should be happy about that. No not in a bad way, but sci fi better technology no issues with androgyn system during fetal development or outright having the tools to scientifically test people as they are born and transitioning them there and then... also its not like editing DNA etc is impossible, we do it now. It's kinda uncomfortable to think about because everyone says they don't choose it(i know i didn't choose to be gay either) and we can all yell about how we're proud... but its be a hell of a lot easier if we didn't exist. We'd still exist, just "fixed". Its a messy topic
SADNESS!!! My internet went out and all my comments were lost before I had to restart my computer 😭 EDIT: They were all trans positive just to be clear... HUGS!!! You're awesome and I'm thankful you made this video, I hope you don't mind if I share this with some of my friends! 🥰
Sometimes I see things that were intentionally transphobic and I don’t notice because I am innocent and a lot of transphobic memes can also be seen as trans positive memes if that’s the angle you’re looking at them from. Like the “Christian to Christine” or the lady with prostate cancer memes. My immediate reaction to the former was “awe, that’s so sweet”
Normally I don't find red eye shadow attractive, it normally makes a girl look like they've been crying. But in your case, looking into your eyes reminds me of watching the sun rise over the ocean in Florida. (I live in Florida). Absolutely stunning. You're the only one I have ever seen pull off this look successfully.
Yes, Maya, on estrogen the prostate gland does shrink. Prior to HRT my postage gland was enlarged, not cancerous, and I basically had to pee every 45 minutes because the enlarged prostate was not allowing my bladder to fully empty. Thank god for estrogen because now I can go four to six hours without having to pee.
@@michellestephens2266 It's done one step at a time. You will be surprised and amazed at what you are capable of. You will find that going forward is so freeing. You can do it!
Speaking only about the prostate cancer issue only, research is now pointing to low testosterone as the likely cause of prostate cancer. I think you're amazing!
Haven't I mentioned already that you are amazing? Because you are. Beautiful inside and out, wise and kind. Also, we need more videos like this one. Thank you! ❤️
I just wanna comment on something you said at the end: trans people actually have not always been ridiculed and discriminated against! Transphobia is a shockingly recent thing. In fact, most cultures revered their gender nonconforming people-they were often believed to have a special connection to spirituality and things like that. I highly recommend people (especially other trans people!) read Transgender Warriors by Leslie Feinberg. It didn't used to be so hard to be a trans person.
You’re absolutely right about the prostate shrinking when we medically transition. Even in the off chance we do get prostate cancer we’re typically already taking the drugs they’d give us for it anyway.
I've got no known family history of prostate cancer but there is a history of breast cancer. My grandmother on my mom's side had breast cancer a couple years ago. She never had to go through chemo or radiation therapy, though, because it was caught so early.
Having followed from just about you started your transition it's yet it makes me so happy for you to know that now you are "complete" And as usual you are an amazing positive role model
Your a beautiful woman . Ignore all the haters there just jealous of your confidence that you radiate and that you're doing so well as far as I can see.
Please acknowledge that Blair White did a second apologetic Video for getting her facts wrong in the first. Your great and an inspiration for us all. Thanks! x
You've got a really good point. I think those people who made them should educate themselves more about the issue. And, how it could affect them in the future.
I feel like it's similar to people saying they wouldn't date a Black person or any ethnicity, which is often based on internalized racism, even if it isn't overt it's based on white superiority (racism) and not actual attraction based on the person themselves because no one knows all Black people, like no one knows all trans people.
@@transgoddess31 Yes, but genitalia doesn't define someone's gender and transphobic people often use genitals to discriminate against trans people. "You present as a women, but you have male parts, so you are a man" is often how transphobic people argue it. I get people having a gender preference, but if a trans person is that gender than what's the problem?
My only problem with trans women is when they want to compete against natural born women. why is there no problem with trans men competing against natural born men. By the way I think you are a very beautiful woman.
Hi Maya i'm just a guy in England and wanted to say i follow you because your a damn good looking girl with amazingly gorgeous eyes ! and don't let the haters bother you there not worth the time of day ,all the best and stay safe xx
I like how you approach these hostilities Maya. I wish more of us in the world were as peaceful, the world would be a beautiful place. And you’re no joke to me, I say this as a straight cis man
Maya, I'm a new subscriber and fan. I'm not sure how I came upon one of your posts, but I'm glad I did. I've been enlightened and educated. You, young Lady are gorgeous. I saw that you are in a relationship.....lucky man.
I feel like many transphobic people either have and attraction to transgender or are confused about their own gender and afraid of how their friends and family would react; so much so that they go overboard with their reaction to a transgender person. You be you as everyone should be able too. People have the right to be who they are and they shouldn't be judged. I'm sorry to the LGBTQ+ community for having to go through so much rejection for being honest about who you are. 💘 Namaste🙏🏼
@Maya Henry, I've been following your channel for a few years now, it's always great to see new videos, you look amazing and I hope your recovery is going well😊 I just wanted to add something of an informative comment, just for information purposes; as Transwomen we are still susceptible to prostate cancer, but the risk drops dramatically, in the antipode of; we are more at risk from breast cancer than we might've been before, but it's still very percentile...so in short; risk of prostate cancer goes down...risk of breast cancer goes up, but not enough to really be concerning. Keep doing what you're doing and much love from the other side of the pond 😘
I was just counting down waiting to see you get to a Stonetoss comic, because in this type of video, it’s basically a given to see something made by that tool, lmao.
Honestly I don't think the first one is transphobic. It is okay to laugh at ourselves. We have to find balance. There are truly things that hurt people and things that we should just take as a joke. Him being surprised says nothing about him hating trans people, anyone would be surprised.
I think the athletic meme holds some facts (aside from the part that it implies than guys seek transgender surgery to win athletic trophies which is sure not true)
@@marcusmaire8197 If we are talking about a sport that relies on strength and endurance then the variation of the "natural" levels of testosterones in cis woman even those using boosters is not compared between the variation of the "natural" levels between a man and a woman and those a transgender woman (unless she manages to extremely lower her natural levels) can be result in unfair competition.
I truly, TRULY wish, with all my heart, that this was a world where we All accept one another. 100%. Trust me, I now how naive and cliche this is. But, it is truly how I feel. You are Beautiful Maya and you have taught me so much. ♥
Trans memes are hateful, hurtful and dangerous. Many may be couched in humor... but so are racial jokes. Such things give power to such hate... and air of legitimacy in reinforcing stereotypes in the widespread "acceptability" of the seemingly softer ones. We are an easy enough target without ignorant and hateful people making our world more dangerous by such things as racism, genderism(?), sexism, any-ism. GRRrrrr...
Is it really genderism though if we take a scientific approach and not a hate approach and just don't buy it? How does someone hate a gender or fear it? lol Makes no sense. I just think it's funny people think they're born a different gender, and now it's like 60 genders and no real evidence but a few studies with no peer reviews. I didn't take science in college to be against anything. I just like hard evidence before deciding something. I don't believe in God either, but it doesn't mean I don't have an open mind that someday someone might prove me wrong.
@@ebogar42 Liberals throw the "science" word around whenever they want to demoralize conservatives. Yet they ignore "science" when it comes to chromosomes (as it relates to gender) and conception (as it relates to the life of a fetus).
@@bubcat54 From what I've seen it doesn't follow scientific theory and is just a guess. It doesn't have any peer studies. I don't ignore science. I'm just not convinced yet. I keep an open mind about being proven wrong, but that doesn't mean I have to agree just so you won't demoralize me and call me transphobic when I'm not. There is nothing scary about you or anyone else thinking they're something they might be or might not be. I honestly don't even care. We all question who we are at times. It's not even a big deal. You all try to make it seem like one though. I'll give you one example of why I'm not falling in line. Even after surgery Trans people aren't happy and have a very high suicide rate. Lots want to change back after surgery too and don't feel they're the opposite sex anymore, but you don't talk about those people. Lots of guys act feminine but don't feel they're trans. There are all different types of personalities, likes, and everything in between, but I don't get how that makes you different than the sex you're born with. What does it even feel like to be a man or a woman without using gender roles? That's another problem I have. There is no right or wrong way to be a man or a woman. Gender roles that are a society construct don't prove anything either. I've never wondered if I were male or female. I just know I have a dick and I like pussy. You can label me what you want and that doesn't change that at all. Everyone is trying to make it so complicated now though. 60 different genders is ridiculous when there is only two sexes. Why can't it be two sexes and genders and 60 different types of females and males that are on a spectrum of different likes, wants, desires, sexuality, goals, etc. Why obsess over if you're a man or a woman or something in between? To me if you're obsessing about it, there is a lot of stuff mentally going on. I know about obsessive thoughts. I've had them my whole life. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac too. I'm always thinking shit that's only in my mind and getting tons of anxiety and depression because of it. The mind can easily play tricks on you. I sometimes wonder if I'm a sociopath. I have all the traits, but I'm also not certain. I sometimes tell people I'm one joking but it doesn't mean I'm right. I've also went through trauma, deep depression, panic attacks, and I might just be fucked up chemically and throwing everything off. The last couple years have been better and I don't really feel like that as much anymore.
You said these jokes open the doorway to basically bad behavior and disapproval. All jokes do that no matter what the subject. I fall under fat girl and blonde jokes. Let's just laugh and not condemn raw unfiltered humor. It's my favorite. ❤ Some of the best jokes are shocking.
Hi ... I am a mature woman living in the UK, I had my Gender realignment surgery in 2014 . This about your comment on prostate cancer. After or it may of been before ( it was a while ago now) my surgery, I was told that I didn't/wouldn't have to worry at " all " about this type of cancer. Now I don't know if this has changed in the last 6 years or because I had my surgery in the UK but that's what I was told. I hope you have a wonderful life and be safe..... :-)
Hey, thanks for the insight. There is one of these memes that makes my blood boil! Holding the door for someone with the expectation for sex (or just implying they belong together) upsets me. I hold the door open for kids, dudes, dogs, cats, and yeah women too. It is polite; not sexual.
Maya, I've a suggestion, if you don't mind. Do you think, you could have a separate folder on your channel, for your streams, as sometimes I miss them. Thanks.
I noticed the 'Trannysaurus' was wearing high-heels, and then it hit me.... ALL predatory dinosaurs (maybe all dinosaurs, entirely-- not sure about Sauropods) were digigrade. They walked on their toes with their heels off the ground. So high-heels are the only shoes they could wear, really.
