Remember when “super-“ sexuality identities were a thing, earlier this year? I had a “super”gay (who was really not in any way “super”), trying to justify to me his need to build an identity around his wish to never date or hook up with any trans man. I simply pointed out to him, “It wouldn’t happen, anyway. I can tell you that much, because I’m friends with lots of trans folk. None of them would ever date you. Because they actually have taste.”
EXACTLY. As a gay guy, I can absolutely say that I have liked many trans guys in addition to cis guys, and that trans men are super amazing and handsome and wonderful. It just saddens me that even those within the LGBT community are so open to discrimination. I hope that all of the trans guys out there know that they are very handsome and valid 🥺
@@lukesart8023 Yup. Anatomy preferences are no different than body type preferences. Everybody has them. It doesn’t make anyone a bigot, unless you’re going to call someone “disgusting” because they aren’t what you’re into. But also, having specific preferences does not mean you’re part of a marginalised identity to be “proud” of.
@@NineWorldsFromDrew Excatly, I’m a gay trans guy if a gay guy doesn’t want to date me because i haven’t had any ops so my genitals might not be what they are into that’s totally okay! This happens a lot and I respect them for it because they still respect my identity and many are my good friends.
I'm a cis woman. And definitely a feminist, and honestly, I feel like feminism is all about fighting for the underdog, and trans women are the strongest underdogs out there, so honestly it only makes sense to include trans women when we fight for equality as women. No question.
“Rights are not pie”!!! Harvey Milk said “It takes no compromise to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no survey to remove repressions.” And he was a white cis gay in the 70s, so if he could figure it out I’d hope it would be obvious by now
Trans man: exists Transphobes: You’ll never be a real man! Trans man: has child Trans man: makes dad joke Transphobes: shrivel under the immense power play
@@brendonrookes1151 It is absolutely possible for trans men to have children, if they, of course, still have vagina, ovaries and an uterus. Unless the person does a surgery to get rid of them, their body is able to give birth. CashT might’ve also meant adopting a child. That insult was extremely unnecessary and incongruous, if you didn’t get something or weren’t certain about the information you were given, a polite question would’ve been enough. I hope you now understand that, thank you.
@@zachnotmyactualname1481 im not talking about biological form im talking about a woman trans to a man cant produce male sperm and a male trans to a woman cant grow a baby in side him its medical fact
@@brendonrookes1151 it’s possible if they like the same gender and didn’t have surgery because you still can produce male sperm if you didn’t have surgery and your biological sex is male same for female
Transfobs- "Trans woman can't participate in woman sports" Me cis male who's the weakest person in my class and PE teacher always put me in girls team. - exist
Why does your school even have a "girls' team," if they're going to put a boy in it? Why not just have Team Green and Team Orange, and equally divide up the players, so that both teams have a good range of skill sets, and they can actually compete equally against each other, and have it be, you know, challenging?
"Be transparent, steal from shops" is the new "be gay, do crime," and I am fucking here for it. (I'm cis but I love all my siblings in the LGBTQ+ community that this applies to
As a cis gay person, I'm so sorry for gay transphobia. It just doesn't make sense to me. And as a Spaniard, I'm sorry for our highly gendered language. Some of us are trying to use the suffix -e to create agendered words (for example, "non-binary" would be "no binarie"), but some people say they don't sound right or that it is not natural because doesn't come with the "natural" evolution of the language. Yeah, cause it's more important to preserve the "natural" evolution of a language than trying to accommodate all people in it.
My friend said Russian has similar problems with gendered words, & it must suck. I agree that complaining about grammar is just an excuse to be prejudiced, cos I bet these people don't get infuriated about anything else that's not perfectly grammatically correct. And if they knew anything about language, they'd know it's constantly evolving, & we DO make up new words for new things & concepts- "telephone", "the internet", "feminism"... Language doesn't "evolve naturally", it's not a living organism, & anyone who thinks language develops logically should google "great vowel shift in Middle English" (or not, cos the completely illogical complexity will hurt your brain!)
@@brendonrookes1151 Think of it this way: if Person A doesn't like the look of blonde hair, it's perfectly fine that Person A is not attracted to blonde-haired Person B. However, it doesn't make sense for Person A to announce "I would never date someone with blonde hair and you shouldn't either," and it is not okay for Person A to say bad things about blonde haired people.
Ayyyy congrats on the coming out my man!! Wish you all the support and love! I’m rlly happy that you feel safe enough to come out bro!! Coming out is a brave thing, even on the internet so!! Proud of you!! *hug!!*
Hello! I'm here to give the Spanish lesson no one asked for! To add a little context to the google translate one (not that helps much tbh): To start, words in Spanish have a gender, but it doesn't work like human genders since well... they're just words, the gender of the word defines how to conjugate it for it to be easy to say and sound coherent, normally female words end with an A and male ones end with an O (we have some neutral words that end with an E but they're the minority). But even if, for example, you use a female word, it doesn't mean it has to be strictly used to describe something female, like 'Jirafa' (giraffe), the word is female but we use it to refer to the animal in general, regardless of gender. So the language works just fine like that. (OR SO THEY THOUGHT!) The problem comes once you want to apply the language to people, since unlike English we don't really have a neutral pronoun like 'they', hence we don't have neutral conjugations either. Our male pronouns work as plural-neutral pronouns too, when we refer to a group of people we use a masculine word, the problem is, with no context most people will assume is a group of men unless specifically said otherwise. There is a large movement in my country trying to add a neutral pronoun that ends in E like our other neutral words, but it's practically adding a whole new set of conjugations to the language and people aren't happy with that, I honestly think we need it but it'll probably take a lot of time for it to be recognized as a valid change to the language. Anyways, if you read my rant until here thank you for your time.
So I'm making a pride flag artwork for pride month. I've just watched one topic look through r/pansexual, while colouring in the trans flag. Now I'm watching Jamie look at trans memes, while colouring in the pan flag. Honestly, I just didn't think this through.
Hey Jamie - I just want to say I’m a young trans boy and your videos have really helped me. When I came out, my parents didn’t understand and kept calling me a girl and using my deadname. I want to correct them but I’m scared. Anyway, all I want to say is thanks for being you. -Max🏳️⚧️
Whenever the sun sets and you get that pink and blue with a few white fluffy clouds... People in my friend circle immediately scream "trans sky" and I love it.
Dear all trans people, On behalf of all the transphobic cis lesbians, I'm so sorry. Sincerely, A cis lesbian and trans ally (Edit: Originally, my comment said "Dear trans community", but I think that made it sound like I was saying trans people are separate from the LGBTQ+ community, which was not my intention. I hope saying trans people instead helped!)
Don't worry lol, I'm very confident that terfs aren't claimed by the people they try to hide behind. It's a really obvious play for validity on their part. In fact, I'M sorry that you have to deal with them. I will always support cis lesbians!!
One of strangest things I've seen is one of my former friends, who was non-binary themselves, yet would act transphobic towards another non-binary friend(not sure if it's the right term for it, but it's what the other person called it). They consistently called them names, refused to acknowledge a legal name change and generally behaved toxic towards them, as well as generally being horrible to the rest of my friends, though they (My friends) only complained about them behind their back, out of worry for getting in trouble or upsetting them. Luckily, I disregard the feelings of other people and couldn't careless what punishments the school could offer, so soon after they started interrupting an being rude about the other non binary friend, whilst they were getting lunch, calling them toxic. I told them that they sure would know a lot about toxicity. They got confused/offended, asked what I meant. I went on to explain that they were constantly interrupting, being nasty to everyone, demanding attention and pity, hitting people and continuing with things that made others uncomfortable after being asked to stop. I told them that I was sick of them and had hated them ever since they'd followed me around everywhere the year before. They started crying and ran off, looking for pity from a friend who didn't know the situation (though I informed them on the bus ride home). Thankfully, the cunt hasnt spoken to any of us since and my friend group was pleased with them being gone.
Literally yesterday I was stupid and basically let a cis gay guy sexually harass me I pointed out that he’s gay but because I look like a guy and for some stupid reason told him what was in my pants when he asked (it was late, idk why) suddenly this gay man is making me very uncomfortable even though I told him to stop I blocked him so quickly. This man had no self control you have no idea how many times I said no and it went right over his head So this PSA has gone out to gay men who think it’s okay to harass trans women just because they look like men Or any women, don’t sexually harass anyone. Damn.
Oh my god that is fucking horrible. I don’t even know what to say except I hope that you’re alright now. That must have been awful. I have no idea why so many ‘gay’ guys think it’s remotely okay to first of all harass someone sexually but second of all claim to be gay while liking a trans woman. Trans women are women, and gay men are men who are specifically attracted to only men and masculine-aligned individuals. If you are a man who likes a trans woman, you are not gay. Periodt. But yeah, that is fucking horrible and I am sending you all the love and support I can 🥺❤️
About the whole terf thing I totally agree because as a true feminist you don’t get to use an equality movement to be a bigot. If you’re a feminist you care about everyone truly especially women of color and lgbtq+ women. If you’re a terf I’m just gonna assume you’re very insecure in your womanhood bc the patriarchy effects literally everyone so why wouldn’t you want to be a decent human being by just being respectful.
Exactly. Not to mention that what I fight for is equality, not the right to walk all over any other gender. TERFs give those of us who *know* what feminism is and was meant to fight a really bad name.
When I was 13, it was the first time I had a dream where I was male, in the dream, everyone I knew saw me as me & acted all normal even though I knew it was different. With the changes I started going through, I was very embarrassed & upset about everything like I remember from a young age, I didn’t want breasts so I cherished the time I had being flat, thankfully I stayed flat until like my young adult years & they annoyingly decided they were going to be about average size out of nowhere. High school was pretty difficult, I’d spend most of my free time in bed, forcing myself into those dreams where I’m male. Weird thing is, I don’t identify with being male, I thought maybe I did because I preferred a man’s body to the extent where I was sleeping most of the time but presentation wise? I don’t identify male or female, I feel disconnected with both. It’s so frustrating & I can’t even explain it accurately but man, that one meme was on point with age, that’s exactly when it set in, at the age of 13. I don’t talk about how I feel in that sense much because it’s weird saying that I don’t identify as being a man but it’s awkward not having a dick. Sometimes I even get this phantom feeling down there, it’s weird but it’s like it’s there when I know it’s not, first time it ever happened was when I was in my early teens & went out to dinner with my friend & her family, every time I walked or moved in certain ways, I felt it & thought it was the strangest thing. Not bad, just strange. Figured I had to use the bathroom & sat in there long enough for my friend to come in & find me, worried about why I was in there so long. Ever since then, it pops up sometimes. I don’t ever talk about it because it’s a very strange & personal thing, especially given I hate revealing that stuff about myself but I’ve been trying my best to be able to compose how I’ve felt for a majority of my life to a friend who is having a hard time understanding because she’s too wrapped up in how she feels about things & believes I’m mistaken on how I take things but I’be been too scared to actually say exactly how I feel, I just end up dancing around it. Also, I am ace which kinda complicated things a lot like I’m definitely not into sexual stuff at all, never have felt any sort of sexual attraction but not having certain parts feels like having a missing tooth but in that tooth’s place is a gummy bear or something that obviously shouldn’t be there like I don’t play with my teeth or anything, I use them as tools to eat my food, I like all of them to be what they should be so they function the way they should & feel accurate in my mouth. Eh, this went on too rambly, been afraid about talking to this friend but a mutual non-binary friend of ours is going to help me out with talking to her, we discussed things & they get what I was saying when I let myself give it direct instead of dancing around it like I typically do. So hopefully, things go well.
re trans colors: one of the frats at my college has the colors light blue, pink, and white, and they recently painted their common room those colors, so the entire house just feels like trans rights/gender reveal party
If you ever loose faith in humanity, remember, that the main colours of the sky by sunset are blue, light pink and white... So once a day, it turns into a giant trans flag.
Just the other day I witnessed the sky turn into the trans flag and my mom and I just sat in a parking lot and stared at it until it devolved into nothing, I regret not taking a picture
@@trinitytiger6485 Ooooh yes. That happened to me too. And if even the sky says "trans rights", what should transphobes say about god being against us. xD But a pity for you, that you didn't take a pic.
I have to say especially because of the "rivalry" and disrespect inside of the communtiy, I prefer the abbreviation "GSRM" (gender, sexual and romantic minorities) since it's more inclusive but also represents much more that while having different issues, we should stand together. I'm always so sad to hear of trans people having problems inside the community and have to say that sadly, as someone on the asexual sprectrum, if it is not explicitly mentioned, I often don't feel included/accepted. It's so discouraging to discover that inside the community you thought you were welcome, you still might not be safe and get the support you need. But I think it's definitely important to bring attention to this subject, so we really practice the love and openness we fight for every day properly amongst ourselves 💜 Let's don't forget others because we only see our own struggles.
Hi everyone! You are all wonderful. Just a friendly cactus popping in to let you know that you are all so very loved and cherished. Your feelings are so very valid, I’m so proud of all of you for making it this far, and I know even though it might be tough right now you’ll push through to the other side. You all are getting stronger every day. Keep being your smart, kind, hilarious, amazing selves.
@@maddiepaige715 i wish it were like a relatively expensive dlc, like almost stupid expensive for a dlc. i mean, $50 is a lot of a dlc, but it would be amazing
@@SpikeyBagelOh yes please. Even the Rolls Royce of DLC is somewhat attainable for most people. As it stands at the moment medical procedures for transitioning are complete pipe dreams for the majority of people who need them. Of course this is also assuming you don't live in a country where that little DLC is "region locked" 😞
@@maddiepaige715 yeah, it sucks that they banned the dlc in some areas. why would you do that? people are going to use similar, but less effective/temporary ones, and some are going to use bootlegs that could give them a lot of new issues.
Considering I just within the last few months, after finally really feeling comfortable in my sexuality, started questioning my gender, I would definitely be the AAAAA-flag. All white flag of surrender.
@@fevre_dream8542 I’m not trans either (I’m just confused to be honest, I’m just trying to work out if I’m a girl (I was born female) or if I’m neither).
I really don’t get how people can be so anti and disrespectful towards trans persons. Whenever I think about how hard of a way they had come to finally be the person they always knew they were I am so fucking impressed. Because I don’t know if I would have ever been strong enough to get thorough all of the stuff they had to go through. I am so frickin proud of you. And if there is anyone out there reading this and struggling with their life, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ve been through rough times in my life as well and whenever I have the chance to help someone, I am happy to do so. I love you.
6:56 Same with Bi and pan people. It’s so strange to me how people do f the lgtbq+ community sometimes oppress each other when we feel each other’s pain. It makes me sad to hear some people in our own community doesn’t respect trans people. PS: Trans rights are human rights 🏳️⚧️ Also my flag is either AAAAAAAAAA or Rat
YOU SAID TRANS MOTH AND SO I LOOKED UP TRANS MOTH AND I FOUND A REDDIT ACCOUNT WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF ART OF MOTHS WITH PRIDE FLAG DESIGNS my evening has been blessed
@@devilisdev3064 I mean, I'm not enby either, just cis and bi (but fiercely support my lgbtqa+ fellows) I'm actually not sure if enby falls under trans, but I'm not entirely sure it matters, as any gender identity is equally legitimate.
@@devilisdev3064 yeah it does, or it can at least. Since people are assigned one of the binary genders at birth, being nonbinary means by default you identify with something other than your AGAB, therefore falls under the trans umbrella. The white stripe in the trans flag is for nonbinary identities as well as transitioning. That said, some enbies identify as trans and some don't
Hey anyone who reads this I need some advice for a trans friend I have. He's in a really homophobic and transphobic family. He's pansexual too. And his parents don't use his correct name or pronouns and they're very religious and think that getting married in a mormon temple is super important. Which you can't do if you're trans and you can only marry people of the opposite gender. Anyways, he's in a really bad situation, he only has 2 friends who accept him, myself included, and his parents don't let him go on most websites and can see anything he does on any website and read his texts. I don't think they realize how much they're hurting him. He barely talks to anyone at church and church activities because he doesn't want to put himself in a position where he could get hurt. But it hurts me to have to see him wear a dress every Sunday. Me and his other accepting friend want to get him a binder for his birthday. But we wish we could do so much more. We live in a pretty accepting area but his parents home school him and he's not allowed to go a lot of places because they don't trust him. And in fall he's moving to an even less accepting place. He's about 16 with no where to go but with his parents so he still has 2 more years of this. Any advice? Any way to help him and just give him hope and show him how many people there really are in the world who would love him for who he is. Also if anyone has any suggestions for where to get a binder that would be helpful. For context, the church we're all in is homophobic and transphobic and my parents are too and his other accepting friend's parents are too. But I have a car and a credit card I can order stuff online with so I should be able to get him a binder some how. Are there any like physical things I could get him? Something he could probably hide from his parents. Update: we ended up getting him a gc2b binder (would reccomend) which made him very happy and he wore it (safely) almost every day before he moved. The place he moved isn't as bad as he thought it would be, queer people find eachother and he's made many lgbt friends there and seems to be doing okay. I showed him the comments and he was very thankful that so many random strangers on the internet care about someone they've never met. As his parents realize that they can't change him they've calmed down a little bit but are still pretty strict and I still don't like them.
Gc2b is a good online shop for binders, they also make a discreet packaging so his parents might not even notice. I wish I could help more, but that's all I can do, best of luck to him and you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
@@moiaussi7722 thank you! That'll actually help a lot so that my parents don't know I'm buying a binder (even though it's not for me). Knowing his parents they'd go though the packaging, you're amazing 🥰
Maybe a small pride flag? It won’t help him much physically, but it might help him see he’s not alone. And maybe let him watch lgbtq videos on your phone if you two are ever alone
Hmm.. I think for mental health, find a supportive community or friend group and spend as much time as possible there. I also live in a Mormon family, but they're actually pretty chill about my sexuality. (Still in the closet ab being gender fluid tho) It gets better, and you're not alone! Stay strong :)
Exactly which is just more reason why people complaining about men's rights activists makes no sense the thing about having all of the rights you could need is no matter what you do you'll never gain more rights
@@theemofemboycatgirlw3214 The problem is, there are kind of two divisions of men's rights activists. The ones you're talking about are one division, the ones who use "men's rights" to counter or discount women's rights movements. But there is another division, which is men who have also been hurt by gender stereotypes and norms. That second group isn't advocating against women's rights, they are working for equality too, just in a different form.
@@Petrichor_Pyroclast still both types aren't going to change women's rights because it's not that simple why do you think feminism hasn't really made any progress it's because the people in power either say women need equal rights to get elected and then once elected they don't care anymore or the people who say men and women are equal when that's not entirely true trans people are still not really cared about our deaths mean nothing I'm sure you heard about the story of the trans woman that was shot and described by police as a man in a skirt which is heavily indicating they were saying this was just another crossdresser so there's no reason why we should bother investigating
@@Petrichor_Pyroclast but same could be said for womans rights groups some are the scumb off the bottom of the pool and others feel that woman are mistreated still wrong but not evil
Love your channel! Just wanted to say thank you for your very considerate phrasing of the "like & subscribe" requests. My anxiety and I appreciate it every time ❤️
Ok i’m non binary but tbh the whole “trans men are men/trans women are women/non binary people are valid” just makes me cringe a bit? Not in an embarrassing way but just like. Idk. It feels very infantilizing. Like we’re humouring non binary people. I’d much prefer that whole phrase but with “non binary people are non binary” because it feels less like an empty gesture. Saying we’re valid is good, of course, and idk if i’m putting this into words properly. Tldr: non binary people deserve explicit respect rather than a hollow “you’re valid :)” kinda thing
I fully agree!!! It's like instead of "I'm nonbinary" "yes, you are" it's "I'm nonbinary" "I can accept that". Like, it's not a matter of validity. I just am.
Well, I get the vibe you're talking about, but valid doesn't mean like "i support you honey" but more like "non-binary people are real and deserve to be treated as a real identity" so the meaning is the same as the others. But I don't disagree. I'm non-binary too btw
Me: is 13 now Dysphoria for literally everything including gender, sexuality, and even just me wishing I was something other than human or lived in a magic world instead: is for me?👀👉👈
Please accept these mama hugs, with no obligation.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 You Are Valid, regardless of whether or not you have figured yourself out yet. You are a precious, sweet bean, and you are loved. 🙏
Everything you feel is real and allowed. You can call yourself whatever feels right and identify with whatever feels right. You can use as many or as few labels as you want. You are valid, and I believe in you. There is no wrong way to be a person.
about the non-binary Spanish thing from a Spanish speaker: all our nouns are (pointlessly) gendered for some reason, so adjectives (like non-binary) and pronouns (él/el/lo and ella/la) must be gendered too, and we have no "grammatically correct" neutral letter: -o for male ("el auto viej-o"/"the old car") and -a for female ("l-a silla amarill-a"/"the yellow chair"). however, in recent years some of us have started using "inclusive language", in which we end words with -e for people-related adjectives (the "e" is always pronounced like in the word "bed"). it can be used like the neutral "they" ("elle", to refer to a non-binary person, which itself becomes "no binarie"). also, our default for groups of people is masculine: if there is just one man in a group you have to say, for example, "amigos" ("friends"), even if there are mostly women. that's where inclusive language also becomes useful: "amigos" becomes "amigues", "todos" ("all"/"everybody") becomes "todes", etc. Love to you all!
Dope! It also happens in Brazilian Portuguese, and the same thing was done to solve the problem. The hardest thing is getting people to treat nonbinary people by their right pronouns (if they use only gender-neutral pronouns)
Wanted to add: we say someone has (literal translation) nb gender, this way you say género no binario and the -o is the gender of the word gender (masc) and not the gender of the person
Jammi, one correction. Feminism is equality regardless of gender. (It was in response to something you said around 4:20). This is coming from a feminist who checked the movement they were apart of.
I went to a bookstore not long ago and happened to overhear a conversation between two friends, picking pens in the trans flag colors, as a gift for their newly transitioned friend and I just though it was adorable 😍
@@ninovandorrestein561 it's okay to feel that way, you're not alone. But please first get help, seek medical advice and such. You are way too important to disappear. Especially if you're trans. Because if you leave, your sadness doesn't just go away, it moves on to other people.
