Heat from Fire…? 🔥🤔

“Heat from Fire, Fire to Heat” is what a trans RU-vidr called “TransVoiceLessons” -who posts videos on how to feminize your voice -uses to help change the tone of their voice from masculine to feminine, which became a bit of a meme between their viewers.

"try misgendering a cis person's dog" Or child. But, yes, mostly dog.

"Did you all coordinate this?!" You.... you literally coordinated us when you asked us to subscribe. When you said 'hey people, do a thing' and people do the thing you are the coordinator.

My partner and I started off in a lesbian relationship, then they came out as trans and I realized I was bi. Then I came out as trans and now we’re in a gay relationship. “What’s your letter?” Yes. I am the LGBT. I am all of them. Fear me for I am your gay god.

STP stands for stand to pee, it's a prosthetic that usually looks kinda realistic so that we can pee standing up!

‘Heat from fire, fire from heat,’ is a phrase that helps with voice training! The ‘h’ sound helps open up the wind pipe to help reduce strain and the ‘e’ sound helps brighten the voice! The open vowel sound from ‘fire’ helps translate that brightness from the ‘e’ sound to your other vowels so your brightness is more consistent! We trans women repeat that phrase every time we need to ‘reset’ our voice so we don’t accidentally sound like a dude.

Fun fact: that five-in-one Irish Spring is supposed to be shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, and DEODORANT. I refuse to accept that you can use deodorant to effectively condition your hair.

when i was in 4th grade, a new girl joined our class and i honestly fell head over heels. she was my gay awakening in a way. she moved away after 5th grade and i didn’t see her again until i was in 8th grade, we were on a majorette team together. we exchanged numbers and it went uphill from there. he came out to me as trans, i came out to him as nonbinary. he went from being my first girl crush to the first guy i’ve actually been happy with. we just had our 9 month anniversary.

"Furbys are similar to angels. They are not divided into male or female"- does this mean that non-binary people are angels??? 🤨😁❤️

Aight OT, since there's nothing too objectionable to answer this time around: - STP is a Stand-To-Pee Device. Trans men use it for... situations that I hope are obvious enough not to need explanation. (EDIT: I'd also add that it is compatible with any AFAB peeing situation, so not strictly "trans men", and is often used by outdoors-y types.) - "Heat from fire, fire from heat" is phrase repeated during a popular trans-oriented voice retraining exercise that can be found on youtube. - SCPs are... okay this one's a longer explanation if you're unfamiliar. Short version is they're cursed artifacts, cryptids, supernatural locales and other anomalous phenomena whose characteristics and containment procedures are documented in "declassified files" on a canonized wiki on the internet, which are allegedly being kept secure by a shadowy organization intent on maintaining normalcy. Think of it like an internet era crowd-sourced eldritch horror mythos, in the stylings of Warehouse 13 or S.H.I.E.L.D., and expect regular nightmare fuel if you dive into it. SCP-113 specifically, is a magic(?) gemstone that permanently swaps your chromosomal sex and associated physical characteristics in under two minutes if you touch it; no surgery or hormone therapy, no effect on your brain. The "dangerous" part is that if you try to use it more than once in quick succession, you have an increasing chance of it making an "oopsy". Y'know how you never want to hear your surgeon say "oops"? You get the idea. - OT glossing over *Abigail Thorn* of PhilosophyTube at 12:30 hurts my soul. The Trans Princess of TERF Island. (EDIT: Her coming-out joke about instantly becoming one of the most recognizable trans people in the UK.)

I love seeing what shenanigans the plushies get up to in the background

For anyone curious on SCP 113, here's a bit from the wiki and a TLDR: SCP-113 resembles a small, polished piece of red jasper. Analysis shows that SCP-113 is not composed of jasper, but [REDACTED] composition similar to that of other recovered objects. When SCP-113 comes in direct contact with the flesh of an organism possessing sex chromosomes, the organism's physical characteristics associated with gender and biological sex are transformed (including genetics and secondary sexual characteristics), either reversed or altered. This process occurs in four stages: Stage 1: Lasts approximately 0.2 seconds. SCP-113 bonds with the cells that it touches and induces an unidentified chemical change. This process causes tissue damage similar to mild burns, and SCP-113 cannot be removed from contact with the subject until all stages complete. Stage 2: Lasts approximately 20 seconds. SCP-113 emits a low-intensity electromagnetic wave which travels through the subject's body. Subjects may experience nausea and vomiting, along with a stinging sensation throughout the body. Stage 3: Lasts approximately 60 seconds. Throughout this stage, the subject's cellular makeup is temporarily transformed. Altered cell composition ranges widely from being unidentifiable as human, to a unique variation of partially-differentiated stem cells. The subject will experience intense stimulation of all sensory nerves during the final 20 seconds of this stage, and describe this part of the process as extremely painful. Subjects in poor health may die of shock in this stage. At the end of this stage, the subject's biological sex is permanently altered. In standard cases, the subject's biological sex will be changed to the opposite biological sex. All primary and secondary sexual characteristics are altered accordingly. Stage 4: SCP-113 disengages from the subject and becomes inert. Gender identity of human subjects is not typically altered by SCP-113. In subjects with nonstandard gender identities (typically gender identities which do not match their pre-exposure biological sex), this usually results in positive psychological effects. In subjects with standard gender identities (male/female, matching pre-exposure biological sex), psychological effects are usually negative. These appear to be natural psychological reactions, and not an anomalous effect of SCP-113. *TLDR: touch stone get hurt but sex change gender same*

Fred Clark, a religious blogger I read, had an interesting take on Dungeons and Dragons. He said that while all the satanic stuff the church was pushing was nonsense, what was actually dangerous to the church was the alignment grid. Growing up evangelical, he and his friends had their minds blown by the idea that being good and being obedient were separate things.

The phrase "Furbies are like angels" is simultaneously hilarious and absolutely terrifying.

all different people in this wide world all come together for one purpose landsharks

Heat from fire, fire from heat is a phrase used for transfem voice training.

Angels are genderless and asexuals and aromatics are gods So..IM BOTH?! Wishing you a happy birthday!

My son came out as transgender a month or so ago. We kind of saw it coming, he'd always seen gender as a spectrum and was comfortable wearing whatever. My husband and I are supportive, of course, and we're happy to know his girlfriend is too. My brother understands, and so do my parents. My mom has MS, though, and it's started effecting her memory. We know she's trying, and that's what matters most to our family. My dad, upon hearing my son wants to call himself Ren, has called him Kylo ever since. My dad's just as happy as a grandfather can be, because now he can make all the Star Wars jokes.

Ok, so story time. When I first started questioning my gender, I was reading a lot of stuff about "binders" and how they make your chest flat and whatever. So I went to the closet, grabbed a three-ring binder from elementary school, shoved it up my shirt, and looked disappointedly at my reflection before realizing that wasn't what any of those internet transmascs meant by "binder" at all.

I don't think OT realizes how happy he makes people. Even when I'm having absolutely terrible days watching OT or the Click really helps as a distraction from doing anything dumb. So thanks man we really appreciate you

my dad keeps misgendering me on purpose so i started misgendering him by calling him my mom update: my mom and brother started doing it too🤣 i love my mom and brother

"and cis people bought it" is just such a funny line lmao

Recently realized that wanting to cry every time I am referred to as a man isn’t cis behavior 😳😳

"Heat from fire, fire from heat" is a vocal training exercise for trans girls to help them sound more feminine. It's just a mnemonic device

OT's teacher: until told otherwise, use 'they' to refer to people Me: has taught my English teacher 'they' can be used in a singular manner when a gender isn't specified, backed up by big-name dictionaries. (Said teacher told me later that when going over my writing they kept almost marking stuff I wrote as wrong because I used singular they and having to stop themselves from doing so. I really hope if anyone else asks they now say it's an option, even if I don't expect them to use or introduce it themselves...)

Me a year ago: I’m just a cis straight girl trying to learn more about trans people because most of my friends are trans and I want to be supportive, purely for educational purposes, no other reason whatsoever. Me now: *Bi Trans Boy* I guess I was wrong…

“Heat from fire, fire from heat” is something that a voice trainer (a person who teaches you to how to speak more like your preferred gender) here on RU-vid uses as an example phrase to show the effects of raising/lowering the larynx.

STP is short for "stand to pee", it's a device that trans men use to pee without dysphoria. Heat from fire is a phrase that trans people in particular use in vocal training.

Respect for genders in dnd goes way back: I remember once in a game I was when one said they wanted to play a different gender that we thought they were. Dm gets his serious face and said: "Only if you are prepared to treat this character as if it were you and behave decently and reasonably for who they are." I still think about it some times.

I’m Catholic and have been really frustrated with the way my fellow believers have been acting towards this and many other topics. I haven’t gone to Mass in half a year and have been putting a lot of my effort into trying to understand the LGBT community after a trans boy showed up to youth group and was immediately banned from being called his preferred name. He didn’t come back. That’s what got me to leave. Thank you for this channel because it’s really been helping me a lot. I’m thinking of going to a pride festival to show support and learn more. I hope that I’m not overstepping my boundaries, being a straight person. Either way. Thank you and happy birthday. Everyone deserves love and respect, including the LGBT community.

Stp, means stand to pee. An STP is what some trans masc people use to be able to stand and pee ♡ Also I personally feel like dnd can help people explore how they feel regarding their gender and sexuality ♡

About the Furbies: The Furby Boom, which I owned once, has multiple moods. These moods were expressed with different voices and would either be male or female. The babies could only have one of these but the actual Furby would display all traits, meaning that Furby Booms are genderfluid :)

I found out about the bathroom cleanliness myth when I developed chronic joint pain and my workplace decided to close the ladies' room on our floor for a month. Only the bottom floor has accessible toilets, because in their heads you only need them on floors with employees in wheelchairs. Next ladies room was one floor up or down. Couldn't take the stairs, because ouch. Elevators were very slow, and as much of a hike as the toilets. By the time I got there, I could go to the gents' or pee in the elevator, and the latter had cameras. The men's room was cleaner, mostly because I worked someplace where real men don't sit to pee, so the stalls got used rarely. Scared the frick out of some male coworkers by just opening the stall door when they thought they were alone in the room. I also learned that, while men's toilets look clean, a frightening number of men do not wash their hands after using a urinal. Like, adult, upstanding men. With kids. And mortgages. Earning 60k a year. I was almost grateful to return to the ladies' room, where, yes, there was occasionally blood on the walls, but at least you could see the ick and no one gave you the side-eye for knowing how to operate the towel dispenser.

(Quick context, im a dm in d&d) one of the players in my campaign is playing a bi transmasc elf who goes out of his way to give his 'phone number' to any orc or half orc he sees, another is playing a pansexual bard. The player playing the elf is trans, the player playing the bard is bi, i myself am nonbinary lesbian. The only straight characyer is from our only straight player 😂😂😂 dnd is just the best

Someone I date: "I am trans." Me: "Ok, Still love and care about you." Someone I date: "I don't know if I am trans." Me: "Ok, Still love and care about you." Someone I date: "I am genderfluid." Me: "Ok, Still love and care about you." Canine brain one dimensional; only knoweth love.

The dnd picture reminded me of a character i played for a one shot dnd game. They used all pronouns. Their name was Egg (short for a long goliath name starting with the letter E g.). They were a 7 or 8 foot goliath who honestly was too stupid to understand what sex and gender was . he was aroace and when asked to dress up for a party, they wore a skirt, button up, and a fedora, none of which matched at all . their appearance confused everyone but the character overall just wanted to enjoy life and make friends and i miss them lol.

Me: Having a bad day OTs giggles: No.

9:54 That meme started when someone made the song "Rush E" and the video had that age on it.

I think an STP in the context of the LGBTQ+ and the trans community, is an acronym for a “Stand to Pee” device, I’ve heard it is typically used by trans men/trans masculine and nonbinary individuals, allowing them to stand to pee, to avoid dysphoria when going the bathroom. This is all just from memory of course, so I am likely wrong on some points, if I’ve said anything wrong please correct me! I my self am not trans, but I am always trying to learn to support the trans community to the best of my ability :) Edit: Fixed a typo where LGBTQ+ had no G, thank you for pointing this out!

Story time: My Dad is a Rush Limbaugh conservative, in the south. Got the image? Ok, He was gifted with two kids. Me, a bisexual and my sister, an asexual lesbian. We like to joke that Mom and He hogged the straight for themselves. My little sister was the President of her Highschool's GSA in a small southern town. Dad drove her to every event and stood in attendance for a pride parade they pulled together. One day, some guy in our tiny town recognized him as our Dad. This guy started going on that stupid spiel that all homophobic idiots go on. My Dad just turned to him and went " Look, I don't agree with it either, but It's her life, she gets to live it the way she wants. Fuck off." It's a weird balance, but he will drop his "values" every time and go up to bat for us. He supports us no matter who we love, or who we grow to be. I know there are more supportive parents who wholeheartedly adopt the idea. Still, my Dad overcomes his cognitive dissonance each and every time to show his kids he loves them. It is the bare minimum, and it's pathetic that other parents can't get onto his level. Edit: My little sister corrected me, He drove her in the parade. He was not on the sidelines, he was in it. Something about them sitting up in the back of the convertible, proudly swinging their flags.

3:51 This article: **exists** My wife, a trans woman whose fursona happens to be a bear: "I see this as an absolute win!"

I didn’t realize until the millisecond I clicked skipped ads but I got a Matt Walsh ad and heard “what is a woman?” and a glimpse of presumably him, wearing a post board thing (like the ones outside of shops, but on him as a vest) that says “What is a woman”. Ah, RU-vid.

I suspect those “unicorns” are just horses who are wearing party hats. Also, I love that they’re kissing, or at least booping each other’s noses with their noses.

For anyone wondering still, SCP-113 is an anomalous creature contained by the SCP foundation that can change the gender characteristics and biological sex of anyone who touches it. Trans SCP staff are permitted to use SCP-113, within reason, to transition. The process last about a minute and a half, and is extremely painful, such as subjects in poor health have been killed before it’s duration ends. While biological sex and characteristics are changed, the subject’s gender identity remains the same. Most often, their sex is reversed, but there have been rare occasions of other occurrences.

As someone who used to do janitorial for A CHURCH, the ladies' room was as, if not more, disgusting as the men's room. I was constantly asking myself, "If they're willing to do this to a CHURCH restroom, God's bathroom, what does their bathroom at home look like?!

“You think trans people get angry when they get misgendered?” I don’t. I just get sad and feel like I’m not passing well enough anymore :( Edit: alright, I wanna thank everyone who liked this comment first. Thank you so much! Now I wanna thank everyone in the replies sharing how they feel and their own experiences! I hope everyone feels loved and accepted, because I LOVE YOU!~ 💜 have a wonderful day~

Gearing up for a casual D&D game one time, the DM asked me "what race?" I decided Drow sounded interesting. He goes "what gender?" And I figured "What the hell" and opted for a female, just because it'd be a change. He goes "good choice, female Drow get more initial magic spells than male Drow." Fun game, even with a first level Drow. So when I joined a campaign I opted for a female Drow - she was insanely powerful by the end of that campaign. Best character I ever played in D&D - and all because once I though "ah, I'll do something different for once."

OT: "I wouldn't recommend googling it" Me: *immediately pauses the video to google it*

"Dungeons and Dragons is so gosh darned wholesome." *Ahem* "I WOULD LIKE TO SEDUCE THE DRAGON!"

That "I care about my appearance now!" meme hits so hard. The hard thing about it is that now I have years and years of damage from skincare neglect to fix.

Fun fact: my old furbie constantly talked and changed gender in the middle of the night. I had a haunted genderfluid furbie

watching your r/Traa vids give me SO MUCH gender euphoria, escpecially just the overall vibe of those vids :)

Reminder that all of y'all are valid in your identity and expression and deserve to be happy. Stay safe, eat food, drink water, and get sleep

Me then: Non-binary people? That would require magically fusing a man and a woman together or something! Me now: I wonder what happens if two mirrorpronomial people talk about each other..........

The Cloaca is a dual pelvic opening that is usually used for both egg laying and waste excretion

The one about bathrooms reminded me. I'm a full time traveler, transmale/NB Masc. I have long hair and I let it down before going to a public bathroom. Especially with facemasks, I'm just hair and eyes. Then I can use whichever one is cleaner. Often before anyone even looks at me funny. Only started doing this after seeing true horrors, but frankly would recommend if you feel safe enough. Bathrooms are for pooping/peeing/puking in the toilet, and washing your hands in the sink for at least 20 seconds. Regardless of labels on doors, bathrooms are not gendered. Do your business, clean up, and move on

4:11 “And I said promise?” (For context I am not trans this comment is for trans people)

Trans rights are human rights! Also we're really cute :3

Want to know what my favorite thing about being the mom of my genderfluid Trans eldest is postsurgery? Getting selfies of them from school now where they say things like "I love this shirt mom, what do you think?" Where they are posing relaxed and smiling.

15:04 That guy is wearing a DDLC shirt and you cannot tell me otherwise

"Heat from fire, fire from heat" is a phrase which has a lot of bright sounding spots. Perfect for vocal warmups and helping get your vocal range where you want it. The idea is to get brighter as you repeat the phrase to help get your voice in the higher ranges.

My friend Sam (female to male) is trans. His dad is aggressive- in a good way. So Sams dad ask if Sam could teach him the pride flags so whe he is fighting/Yelling at someone he can at least be nice. (Also I use they/he pronouns)

0:08 I find it really interesting that people will generally accept physical struggles vs mental struggles. If someone transitioned, it was somehow more acceptable to say “I’m like this because I have a tumor” than just saying it’s just how they are. When I was in the darkest points in my depression, I had to say I was physically ill instead of depressed to explain away my mood/energy level/etc

“I am hip and with it” You sound like my dad

My mom talking to a family member I haven't come out to yet: "Just so you know, [deadname] has starting calling herself [new name] and wants to use masculine pronouns. So I might get confused talking about her." Me: "First of all, I didn't say I trusted this person with that information yet. Second, I'm right here, and can speak for myself. Third, please review the entire thing you just said." Mom: *proceeds to do a long non-apology about how she's trying but it's just //really hard// and can't I just give her credit for acknowledging my preferences in the first place?* Siiiiiiiiigh.

Ngl OT had become my favourite comfort you-tuber after several years of looking for one who just calm but also chaotic (it makes sense in my head aha) and I’m just really appreciative that OT make me smile and make me feel like a kid again distracting myself from my stupid life. It’s like looking up to a big brother and listening to their fun little comments even if I’m talker myself ahahaaa

I missed ot's birthday? What!? I didn't get to wish him the happy birthdays and wish him the best cake! Nooooo!

In 2019, when I discovered neopronouns, my first thought was, "Finally! A real third-person neutral singular!"

Whenever he goes in his deep “I’m proud of you” voice, I GET SO EMOTIONAL I *WILL* START CRYING

Scp-113 is great. Its a red stone that instantly and painlessly, if forcefully, transitions you when you touch it. From what I remember, you can keep going back and forth but I’m not sure. Edit: also the “scientist” at 14:16 is an scp foundation worker, you can tell by the symbol on the shoulder

I don't know who even wants to hear this, but Im turning 17 tomorrow. I don't have enough money or friends for a party, so I'm celebrating in OT's comment section. Happy birthday to you as well, OT. Libras together!🌈🎉🎉

Casual reading implies the existence of competitive reading

There's also a goddess in D&D that allows priests to change their sex. The drow goddess Eilistraee originally only took women as part of her clergy, but later would allow men to join. For a man to join the clergy, they had to undergo something called the Changedance that magically altered their body to live as a woman for at least a month. This change was not just physical, but mental as well.

"trans women are queen"- i love the completely unspoken implication that they're a hive mind

I just love how OT doesn’t realize that most often then not if your D&D character survives to the later levels they can practically do whatever they want thus be like a god Especially if their either a wizard or warlock. (16:20)

I definitely did the praying to be a girl thing as a kid. Jesus, how did my egg not crack until 19?!

Keep advocating for our fellow humans, OT, the world needs and deserves you

I once heard someone say "God created trans people for the same reason he created grain but not bread. So that we, too, may parttake in the joy of creation"

I felt that, "try misgendering a cis person". I'm starting to figure out how my gender works, and it's harder than quantum physics, but back when I believed I was cis, I got misgendered from my hair.

I did a quick google for ya, OT, and the "Heat from fire (fire from heat)" is a reference to a common voice training exercise, apparently.

When they say that being trans is like saying you are God, does that mean that they believe that God can change their gender at will?

“BLA- AAAAAaaaAaaaAAAa- *ad.”*

In 2017 my 6 year old brother asked my friend Madison "are you a girl or a boy?" I thought it was offensive and apologized over and over again but she looked at my brother and replied "I don't know yet." I wasn't familiar with the LGBTQIA+ community yet, so I didnt know what she ment. Madison is now Mason.

I remembered a non-binary character that I made a few years ago. They were a spiritual Shaman who lived their entire life surrounded by fairies and spirits. They grew up without the concept of gender and since they never told their team their assigned gender at birth, those people did not know how to refer to them. By the way. Happy birthday OT!

At my school there is an organisation where people who are in the lgbtq+ community can be who they are and can feel safe, also on somedays there will be days where we all come together so we can celebrate who we are

13:55 Yep, sounds pretty much UK :,)

The amount OT laughed without even knowing what an stp is to understand the actual joke…

I came out as trans to my mom recently and got hit with the “it’s just a phase”

Speaking of using the bathroom of the gender you identify with: So at the middle of my first year in of middle school, my school, parents, and I talked about me publicly being referred and acknowledged as a male instead of a female, and when they asked me if id be using the boy's bathroom I just said that I wasn't sure I was comfortable yet, which they were okay with. This year, I decided using the boy's bathroom (I would have last year but Y'know, covid.), and I didn't say anything because I thought it was fine. No one said anything, no one questioned me being there despite my long hair and high voice. So I ended up getting called to the office because of it, and they said that im not allowed to use the boy's bathroom anymore unless my mother says it's okay, with their excuse being: "We just want everyone to feel comfortable." Despite me saying that I was uncomfortable with having to go up to the office to use the restroom or use the girl's bathroom, and no one was uncomfortable with me using the boy's bathroom. They basically were like "Yeah, but we still want you to do this thing so do it lmao." And my mom was very upset when I told them. They went down there and basically presented them with the article that said "Hey, you can't dictate what bathroom a kid uses" and that was that. I'm really glad to have my mom. They've been with me all throughout my trans journey, and I've been with them through theirs. They said that me coming out as trans helped them realise that they don't know what it's like to have a gender, and that they've kinda just been pretending their whole life because that's what they were told to do. I wish everyone out there had a mother like mine, but I know that everyone doesnt, so all we can really hope is that our future generations will be better parents than the last. ❤

The episode with Worf, 9:35, is season 4 episode 20 from Star Trek: TNG. The context you should have before that episode is the other Q episodes and the episode where Riker gets Picard to take shore leave at Risa.

15:15 "Dungeons and Dragons says trans rights." I remember reading that in the Player's Handbook! I'm happy that the game is so inclusive! By the way, One Topic? I remember that you went into a D&D subreddit a while ago. Would you please go back into it sometime?

"Heat from fire, fire from heat" is an expression often used in a popular voice training tutorial for transfems the SCP - 113 is a red rock that turns you into the opposite sex if you touch it

My professional experience with cleaning up public restrooms is that the men's room is more generally gross, but the women's restroom is more creatively gross.

FYI, that ep of Star Trek was a Next Gen episode called "Q-Pid" where Q transported Picard and the gang into the world of Robin Hood (the role of which was played by Picard) and made kickbutt archaeologist and thief Vash play Maid Marian. It was...interesting. :P

For D&D, a "biological" genderfluid elf is among the characters I have most wanted to play. Especially combining the in the lore rules possibility of changing gender/sex with an Eladrin, an elf with four forms representing the seasons.

As someone who is a trans man, I'm so happy that I'm changing my legal name finally, from Emilia to Taylor Jackie😄(god, i love my mom and dad for supporting me) Update: got it legally changed to Taylor Jackie on the 14th of July 2022 (forgot to mention it, sorry)

I love all the exposure these memes are getting. They're funny as hell
