HEY! my school has just agreed to change my name on the school register to my middle name! It's Jamie too! I'm so happy because we also have unisex bathrooms but so ppl don't get outed for going into them, they are labelled as "universal bathrooms" instead and I'm so so happy!
the person in the last one, Jude, does talks at my school every year about transitioning and how they found out they were non-binary and about their experiences. Its such a great thing to hear about especially in an "all girls" school since it means that theyre at least starting to recognise the diversity of the students :]
When I came out as trans, my very catholic grandma was super accepting. A few days later she called my mum, saying that she had told one of my aunts "Oh, (deadname) is transgender, his name is Benedikt now" and my aunt straight up told her "No, you're imagining that, you're making it up, your dementia is showing" So my grandma called my mum to ask if she had just imagined it, and when my mum said "No, he's trans", she was like "But why did Christa get so angry when I told her? I don't understand why she didn't want to believe me. If I had said (deadname) is studying at university now, or has a boyfriend, she wouldn't have said I imagined that! But she just wouldn't believe me that he's a boy now. Why would I make that up, I didn't even know that was possible before he told me!" My grandma was great, sadly, she did develop dementia and the last time I saw her before her death, she didn't remember who I was. But I have my memories of her.
I'm really sorry to hear she passed, but that's such a sweet story of her! My great grandma has really bad dementia, and she never met the real me, just (deadname). I know she'd accept me, but unfortunately her mind is too far gone. I also can't see her anymore because she doesn't recognize me this far into my transition, but I still talk to her on the phone. Sometimes she remembers me as an adult, but other times she thinks I'm a child because I was staying at my grandma's house during top surgery recovery. Dementia is a bitch...
I'm not trans but when I came out as asexual (and eventually aromantic too). My family was supportive but my grandfather never said anything or seemed to acknowledge it. One day he was out with my mom and he ran into someone and they ended up talking about me being aroace and my mother said the person said something about me being weird and how I should be married, and my grandfather immediately told that person to 'eff off' she'll do what she wants, she's my granddaughter and walked off with my mom in hand. He never mentioned it and I wouldn't have known had my mom not been there and it just made me so happy to know that he cared and would defend me
I am a middle age gay cis man but I feel so close to the trans community in a way that I can't explain. Your struggles, your strength, the courage to find and build yourselves no matter what you are repeatedly told not to do - it just resonates so deep. Jamie you opened a world to me and made my mind wider and free so that it could embrace it. Thanks forever and ever. Love your hair and this pullover;)
Thank you so much for showing the tiktok about tucking. I could never see myself with a women's swimwear because of my genitals but thank to this video I now have a reason to have a lot more confidence in public pools or at the beach. Thank you Jamie 😊
If you want something with a little more fabric than standard women's swimwear, try a swim skirt! They're still very feminine but with a little more coverage. ❤️
@@maxthemannequin4143 I am a cis woman. I was perfectly fine with wearing "standard" women's (girls') swimwear as a girl, but after puberty I just found it awkward to have that little coverage... So swimskirts sounds like a good idea. Thanks!
Is it weird to be happy whenever you see trans fem or woman having flat chest/small chest as a cis girl? I don't like my chest all that much, but seeing trans women and fems rocking it makes me feel better about myself.
This is a wholesome moment. We can have people accepting bodies they don’t like AND people accepting that they don’t like their bodies. Breaking down the idea that there is only *one* answer that everyone has to live by actually helps *everyone*
My grandma, who I live with, is really accepting of my gender non-conformity. When I wanted a hysterectomy to alleviate gender dysphoria, she took me and was willing to help me pay if insurance didn't cover it all. When I try to explain my gender she goes "I don't fully get it, but that's okay" (but when I specifically explain the disconnect and masquerading of femininity she goes "yeah, that's just how that feels"- who is gonna tell her?) And I love her. I think part of the reason she gets it (other than the fact that I think she may have identified similarly if she were born now) is because I have a lesbian-identified great aunt who she is very close with, and who will occasionally choose to go by the masculine version of their name (so I figure they would probably identify as gender-fluid or gender queer if given the labels and understanding that we have today). Queer people didn't not exist before, and everyone has probably loved a queer person.
As a Trans Femme, your videos were my first experience with the Trans Masc experience. I know a few Trans Men now in offline space and watching your videos really helped me avoid too many awkward questions. Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work. Your enthusiasm and joy are infectious!
9:18 - Honestly, I can relate to this. My "moment" was when I was 10 years old and some boy I barely knew in the year above me at school decided to tease me by randomly asking when I was going to get a sex change. I didn't even know what a sex change was until I asked one of the teachers who told me that it would mean me "becoming a boy"...and I realised I was rather happy and relieved at the idea that there was a way for me to "become a boy" (which I'm fairly sure freaked the teacher out even more than me randomly asking her what a sex change was). To this day 16 years later, I still occasionally whether that boy was actually aware of how accurate he was with his attempt at insulting me...
I love the wholesome grandparent ones! When I told my g-ma that I changed my name, I learned that she kept a file folder for all of her grandchildren and kept all of our holiday cards and thank you notes in it... anyway I learned that because she told me that she immediately updated my name on the folder! She was such an amazing ally and I miss her very much. Meanwhile, nearly 10 years on my mum still has me in her phone under my dead name 🙄
Not trans-related, and only kind of queer-related, but I sent out last year's Christmas cards with my preferred title of Ms on the return labels, in part because I have some aunts who keep sending Christmas cards to "Miss Erin K". My grandpa's card subsequently came addressed to "Ms Erin", but either none of the aunts got the hint or they addressed theirs before they saw mine. (I say kind of queer-related, because while I am an Ace Lesbian, a theoretical straight version of me could be having the same issue)
I came out at school start of this week. Or well, I didn't necessarily really come out, I just changed my pronouns and I wrote down my pronouns under my name a bunch of times when teachers asked us to make nametags (start of the schoolyear, teachers don't know us yet) and honestly so far so great. I've caught some peeps using the right pronouns and I've never heard anyone use the wrong name for me either, even though they did already memorize my name from the introduction week. I'm loving it. Makes me feel so awesome
Her name is Dylan and she's awesome! Btw just to avoid confusion she still uses her original name cause she likes it. Just thought it was worth mentioning in case anyone doesn't know of her and might suspect that's her dead name or anything. I first saw her on one of Anthony Padilla's videos on trans women, and I highly recommend you check it out if you want to see a bit more of her! They also usually link everyone's socials in those videos so you could find where to follow her there also
@@kaileychambers6969 Thanks so much, I'll definitely check out that video! And I can totally understand why she would stick with that name, it's both beautiful and awesomely gender neutral ...
9:19 Yes! I remember something like this happened. I'm transmasc and on our last day of primary school, we went around having our friends sign our shirts. One of my friends wrote "Good luck sir!" on my shirt as a joke and it made me so happy for reasons I didn't understand.
Oh, since we like wholesome accepting grandparents, last time I saw my grandma she asked which name I'd prefer she put on gifts and cards for the future. So now she's putting my preferred name, sometimes she's a little confused tbh but she's got the spirit.
9:12 That reminds me of my childhood best friend & I. I remember us joking about how our “souls got swapped before birth” (we’re born 2 weeks apart) and I was “supposed to be the boy” and she was “supposed to be the girl”. We were 5 at the time and didn’t know what being trans was, but now 20 years later, turns out 5-year-old us already knew what was up lol I’m non-binary and she’s a trans woman
@element of truth Oh, a transphobe who thinks anyone asked tries to tell a trans person that what they are isn't real. How surprising. I am so shocked right now You're gonna have to find a more believable excuse to be a shithead than big pharma and plastic surgery conspiracy theories, trans and non binary people existed and are documented to have existed in Akkad, you know, 4000+ years ago. Big pharma or whatever you're paranoid about didn't exist back then (and still doesn't exist today but I'm assuming you're a Trump stan so there's no point in arguing with you over that) Get fucked
im just entering a new school part time for theatre class and we have a gsa and theyre starting another program to fight for inclusivity and theyll always ask your preffered name/nickname and we have a transfemme person in my theatre class who goes by lexi and introduced themselves as saying “my name is -- but i prefer lexi” and my theatre teacher immediately went “alright, welcome to class lexi” and since has not called them the wrong name once, and we have unisex and gender nuetral bathrooms in most of the buildings and theyll let you go to another building to go to one in every building but C building (cause the door locks when class starts and you cant get back in), and theres still a bunch of transphobia in the school but most people are just really cool and ive already met like five trans kids and its just pretty cool edit: also my principal wears a pronoun pin and ive seen a bunch of the teachers with pride pins to show their support
@@thatonething1287 No, because pronoun pins are part of the trans cult, the idea that someone would/should use a pronoun that doesn't match their sex. That is an ideological and explicitly political position and introducing that to children is grooming. We shouldn't be encouraging anyone to go down that route, least of all vulnerable children.
i know that for the other transmascs i know, trans men being pregnant and/or fictional cis men being pregnant triggers dysphoria, and i think that's the main reason why people might want to avoid that topic. obviously they shouldnt be shitty about it, and trans men who want to be pregnant or are pregnant are entitled to the utmost joy for their lives, but i do think that other transmascs have the right to avoid dysphoria triggering content. that means tws and willful disengagement, though, not harrassment.
Tbh I find like mpreg fiction far more dysphoria triggering than transmascs living their lives happily (I personally found this video of the pregnant guy far less triggering than it usually is, maybe because it was treated casually). I think pregnant men being viewed as a spectacle or as something inherently strange contributes to why this content can be so distressing for us, because we grow so used to seeing pregnancy as an exclusively women's thing. I don't think it's the whole reason why, but it probably doesn't help
@@camposporium4536 Fair, though I think that's why there should be more awareness, so such individuals aren't seen as "strange spectacles," but rather just people living their lives like the guy in the video.
7:30 Also, it is not like you would get away with this even if you are are a cis woman or trans "passing" (I hate that word). You will be dragged out there in seconds no matter your gender or gender representation.
the last one is from Italy! And with me being italian it was even more touching, we don't have a lot of people so supportive like this here, it honestly made me feel so happy seeing something like that happen in my country :)
My mom once literally said “I don’t understand trans people, like everyone wanted to be the other gender growing up, when I was younger I wanted to be a boy” and I just gave her a crazy look and said “No-” 😭🤚 (she also clearly doesn’t understand that being trans isn’t *”wanting”* to be another gender) 😅
You feel you are trapped in the wrong body right? I'm a woman and I feel trapped in the wrong body too. I should have the body and face of supermodel Giselle Bundchen. No amount of surgery can make me have her body and face. Oh well I have to come to terms to accept that I will never have her beautiful body and face.
4:24 Gay Gen-X guy here. While I've never done drag myself, I do know that drag queens have been tucking for … like forever. And for decades, there have been trans women who started as drag-queens before realizing that they were actually women. [No Carmen Carerra wasn't the first.] And despite what _some_ people claim, drag-queens and trans women have been helping each other out for decades, _especially_ last century. I very much hope that is still happening. To paraphrase someone: We must all hang together, or they [the bigots in our case] will hang us one by one.
I’m a trans guy and every one of these videos were so wholesome and actually made me happy about who I was. Lately i’ve been having some negative thoughts so its nice to see people like me happy, making me think I actually have a chance at life. Of course I know not to expect that much, but maybe it will turn out alright. I can’t wait for people to see me as a guy, who I really am.
someday u will find the right ppl who fully accept u as u are, I am absolutely sure of that and then u can feel as much joy about urself as the ppl in the videos (u can feel joy about it without them too, but it really helps to have them) ❤❤
We can always tell a trans. What do you accomplish being called a guy? There are many women who are very masculine. I'm a woman I hate makeup and high heels. Wearing makeup and high heels is not the definition of woman. It's the definition of feminine but not definition of woman. Woman definition is having a vag, ovaries etc. Do you believe in science? That is what science has established.
@@ladivaeu7795 So by your definition, cis women who had removed their ovaries etc. due to medical reasons like cancer, are no longer women. Same when a trans guy have his stuff removed, he is no longer a woman.
I just wanted to say that i just sent to my college a document asking to my social name to be included in my records, and i'm soo happy! I will be oficially Elias in all data inside the college, my teachers will be notified to change my name in their attendance lists (most of them were happy to allready change it last semester, without it being official) That is a huge step for me, and i really excited^^
Bigender here! I definitely had one of those things in the past that just makes sense later on. I've always preferred to sit whenever I have to pee (I'm AMAB). It just seemed more natural. I remember being kinda surprised to hear that some people would stand, even in the stalls where they could sit if they wanted. Now, of course, I'm pretty sure that at least one of the reasons I prefer to sit is that my ideal body would have different genitals. Not different hormone-based sex-characteristics; I like my beard and my voice quite a lot, and the male part of me still very much exists. But the female part of me would probably be happier with a vagina, uterus, and breasts. (I say this as if they're two separate parts of me, but that's really just for convenience's sake. I'm not half male and half female; I'm fully both. It's just some specific feelings align more with what might be expected of one gender than the other.)
@@dominiklehn2866 Yeah, that's a fairly good description. An AFAB body that had hormonally transitioned but not surgically transitioned. Although that said, I started feeling *more* comfortable in my current body once i realized it's not what my ideal body would look like, which is a little confusing but whatever.
I kind of feel the same I’m ftm but I love being feminine and loveeee my breast. But i want a deep voice and I wanna get bottom surgery. I have a while to wait since I’m a minor but when i have enough money and old enough to do it without guardian permission I wanna do it as soon as i can
@@dens7115 Trans ppl who are still happy with certain gendered aspects of their body are super cool! I mean, everyone else is super cool too, but like, we don't get as much representation, even within the already-small amount of trans rep in general. So it's important to say it.
Jamie: Trans guy, who loves trans tik toks as he's trans. Me: A nonbinary demiboy, who loves nonbinary and demiboy tik toks as I see my gender as a nonbinary demiboy. Yeah, Jammie, I can't blame your love for trans tik toks. Nor can I blame myself for my love for nonbinary/demiboy tik toks.
My boyfriend is a trans man, and he is fairly short (5' 3" tall), but as I am only two inches taller than him, his height is one of the first things about him that I found attractive. 🥰 He also would like to carry a baby. At first, I was, like, "I didn't expect that . . ." but now I think it's really cool! I never thought that as a gay man I would be able to have a child with a boyfriend! 😁
My 78 year old grandma recently updated our family tree to include my new name and my gender identity (I’m ftm). She also tells me I need a haircut when my hair starts reaching my ears. 😂😂😂
I went thru a bit of a negative headspace about being trans but this genuinely made me smile so much. Thank you for doing another trans tik tok video today, Jamie 😭💖
Oh my goodness! Seeing that pregnant trans man was such an eye opener! I'm afab and ever since realising I'm Agender, I've wondered if my revulsion towards seeing naked pregnant bellies (yes, it only happens when the belly is naked for some reason) was due to a mix of gender dysphoria and not ever wanting to get pregnant myself or what is gping on and, I felt absolutely no repulsion or anything when seeing his pregnant belly, so I think that really is it!
Yay! Kudos for your new realization! 🤗 I'm afab and genderfluid/neutral and never had any emotional connection with the whole pregnancy thing. The "experience" so many talk about, I never understood that. It just... didn't click. Even when I had my little girl (who's 8 now and an adorable sweetheart 😁), which was... different all on its own. Asymptomatic footling breech (had no clue until I was screaming in the ER in the middle of the night and the doc was like "You're in labor" and I've never been more shocked in my whole life 😆), and I'd been told since I was a teenager that I'd probably never even have kids due to "weird" hormones.
I've been watching you for years, and I have ever shown my mom your videos and she loves them. You have helped me throughout so many years, I just recently got top surgery- and I genuinely don't know where I'd be in my transition without seeing you put yourself out there and I just wanted to thank you.
Just a reminder Trans fems, you look pretty and I hope you have a good day Trans mascs, you look handsome and I hope you have a good day People outside the binary, you look positively perplexing and I hope you have a good day Xenogender people and non dysphoric trans people, your gender is valid and I hope you have a good day Allys, I can’t tell you how much the little things mean and I hope you have a good day (If this made your day please let me know it means a lot)
I've been on a gender journey for a while, and your content has helped me find a safe space and realise it's okay to be who I am, so thank you very much Jamie ❤️ I've finally found a label after thinking on it for a good long while; I identify as demifluid and prefer she/they pronouns, and damn it felt good to type that out properly for the first time. I'm planning on coming out to my LGBT best friend tomorrow, wish me luck!
It's interesting seeing pregnant fathers. I can't think of that gentleman as anything other than a gentleman because that's what he IS even though he is pregnant. The pregnancy does not stop me from seeing a man. I'm so happy he had a successful pregnancy and I hope he and his new little one have many wonderful dad adventures.
I played two truths and a lie as part of icebreakers for my classes, and I used the Trans Card to win. No one believed that I was a soprano in high school
I love Dylan SO MUCH. Everyone should follow her. She’s so sweet. And omg the other day she found out Lady Gaga follows her and she LOST HER MIND and it was the cutest thing ever.
The tattoo thing is so sweet! A lot of people are not extended the same courtesy with parents who have kids' deadnames tattooed 😭 I think that when I have kids, I wouldn't get their names tattooed just because tattoos are permanent and people can change their names if they want.
THIS, if you want to tattoo something from your children then tattoo a cute drawing of theirs, or their handprint.. names change and the guilt that comes with changing your name when someone have TATTOOED it on them... it sucks
I'm Ftm, and have always had a deepish androgynous voice. A lot of my classmates would comment on it and say I sounded like a guy. I should've realised that I was trans back then because of how happy having people thing I sounded like a guy made me
My niece hit 6'1" in high school. She's cis, but because of her height, she's had a lot of transphobes attack her. Since she lives in a very conservative community, she decided to seek out LGBT+ people she goes to school with (first in high school and now in college). She befriends them and encourages them to live their best lives because she wants to make sure they have at least one person in their corner.
Really. As long as your not a short man you likely won’t face any height discrimination. Which country are you from? In Germany and Holland it’s not rare to find women over 180 and men over 195cm.
I’ve been having some kind of rough feelings about Gender Things over the last couple days and your content always makes me feel a little better about it all. Thanks💖
Same. I've stopped thinking about gender as a linear spectrum and more as a vortex of infinite chaos, with lack of gender I guess being the eye of the storm. Personally I like the label genderfae, it sounds soft and mystical and it describes me pretty well as someone who is not masculine at all but not 100% connected to femininity (demigirl is similar, but doesn't sound as cool imo). Idk if this helps, I just like sharing whenever I find a new gender. I hope your gendering works out, lots of love to you human ❤️
@@Luna-jk5mu Aw, I didn’t see this until today but thank you for sharing! Unfortunately my Gender Things have less to do with my actual identity and more to do with my expression and openness about it with the people in my life, but I’ve been feeling better about it recently. I haven’t really found a niche gender label I vibe with; neutrois is the closest I’ve gotten, which is basically gender neutral, but I like to describe myself as genderqueer because (if this doesn’t sound too pretentious) I like to think that my gender identity queers the concept of gender in the first place. I don’t like “nonbinary” for myself bc to me it feels like I’m defining my gender with respect to the fact that there /is/ a binary in the first place. Thank you again for the kind reply, and good luck on your own gender journey!
You know what with the height thing I never realized till then (I'm mtf btw), I was always super short pre transition but now my track mates have literally said I'm exactly average height. Now with a grain of salt as I was real young pre (social) transition, transitioning summer rising to 4th grade. (thankfully, though my mom was literally one of the 4 main people in a movie about trans military members, so not necessarily surprising) So it could just be height changes from aging being timed weird, either way interesting
When I came out to my grandparents we were at their house, I said 'hey I'm trans, blah blah coming out' and my grandpa said 'ok, but we still need to know if you want pasta for dinner' and they completely accepted me
Whoo! I love it when you react to fellow trans stuff, cheers! -Insane Ringneck Parret Btw i just said that in a hurry as for the first time in my life, I was early! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I've been out for years and have loads of tips and tricks for ftms but I know very little about mtfs, and a member of my family recently came out as mtf so I actually found the tucking tape info really helpful and informative. And tbh I loved the fact she said you don't have to tuck , because alot of younger trans people feel like they need to do specific things to pass and in my experience just do what makes you comfortable ♡ Also im a twin and growing up my sister was always like "dead name is gonna be a boy when she's older." Turns out she was right lol.
5:42 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!! I live in a place that's not too far away from the beach and I've had the chance to go with my family but haven't bc 1.- I'm closeted and 2.- Idk how to wear a swimsuit or anything like that while passing when I haven't had surgery, or at least I didn't before watching this!!! Definitely using that in the future! Thank you so much Jamie for sharing it and to Dylan for making the video!!!
Hey hey! Another lovely video, Jamie! I've also got a moment where the people in my class were right(ish). So, I was in first grade, and because it was a private school with uniforms, we needed either black or white sneakers for gym. My mom buys me some black shoes and all is fine and dandy until it's gym time at school. The girls look at my shoes and my (supposed) best friend said, "You can't wear those." I asked, "why not?" and she replied with "because they're boy shoes, not girl shoes!" And I was just confused and bothered because all the boys had black shoes and all the girls had white shoes. And then later on, I realized I was, in fact, not a girl, but I'm agender so like... partial credit.
9:25 I have a similar experience that’s really funny to me now and a lot less offensive but my brother and his friend asked me one time “are you a lesbian” and at the time I was like 8 or 9 and didn’t know what it meant, and all they would tell me was “it’s something to do with being a girl” and after like 10 minutes of trying to get more information out of them and considering my options I said yes. And they both started laughing so much and I was super embarrassed So yeah I have a girlfriend now and we’re celebrating our one year anniversary on the 13th of September
For starters, that yellow chair is amazing. On the child bearing, I get a bit confused, but that's only because I have 0 motherly feeling in my enby body. And omg forwarding this to my transfem daughter for the tucking advice.
I'm writing the exact translation of the conversation with the italian grandma because IT WAS TOO CUTE AND EVERYONE MUST KNOW boy: where? grandma: here, under the lip... under the lower lip boy: you don't want anything there? Clean? grandma: yeah, clean. boy: uh... it doesn't grow grandma😟 grandma: it's okay, it's good🥰 (if it isn't clear the boy was worried because the beard doesn't grow as he wants and the grandma told him that it's fine like this💕)
3:35 as a trans woman who isn't currently planning on bottom surgery. I totally get this, we don't NEED to have bottom disphoria, but you're no more or less trans with or without it.
I just met up with an old friend from highschool. Its been about 4 years since I last saw them in University. At any rate, they came out to me as trans. They are still not sure about the whole process. They want to start the process. i hope all goes well for them. I am rooting for them. They haven’t asked for a change of pronouns or name yet. I can’t wait for the day they feel happy.
In case you too watched Dylan's tik tok and knew you'd seen her before but you couldn't remember where, they've been on the channel before in the (Trans) Gender Reveals video.
I just got approved for T, just got to get my blood work done first! I am so happy to be starting my journey at long last! Unfortunately my family isn't going to be coming with me as they completely ghosted me when i can out and are refusing to apologize.
@Please refer to my lawyer🇺🇦 Thank you! :3 I am trying to get a new job right now because with gas prices I cannot afford to go to anymore appointments besides the first one. But here's hoping life will finally be good to me! It' s a start right?
1. You will find your Logical Family to replace your bioillogical one. 2. Cis gay guy here: we didn't get all of the secondary-sex-characteristics the moment we hit puberty. Takes, oh, 4-6 years before they're all in place. And even then, not all cis men have the same amount or thickness of body & facial hair, or voices of the same deepness, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera … Also, if it takes 10 years of T before you can grow a nice beard, *_there is nothing wrong with you!!!!!!_* Lots of cis-men - like me - couldn't grow a decent beard until our 30s. Hell, I didn't need to shave every single day until I was in my 40s! Before then, I didn't get a 5-o'clock shadow so much as a "11am-the-next-day shadow". 😆 And I repeat: I am cis. So any time you start getting down because you're not "changing fast enough," just remember how long it takes puberty to do its magic on cis-guys. And then you'll realize that everything is really happening Right On Schedule.
the first time me hearing about a trans guy giving birth was about a trans couple. The wife is trans too, but since they didn't gave up on their birth genitals, they could carry out the child plan. absolute legends
Sometimes I just wonder when my parents realize that I’m still their kid, just not their girl anymore… that it’s not a phase… honestly, when I see these, I feel so much better. I’m going through a dark time rn, so this made me smile. 🤟
Hi Jamie ^^ Today, despite much stress and anxiety behind my computer screen, I was able to tell my History class (on mic!) about my preferred name and pronouns. My heart is melted
People hate on trans people living their best lives as themselves because the haters don't have a reason to not live their best lives as cisgender other than the stereotypes forced on them that they are indoctrinated into believing and further forcing upon themselves and others. that's what I think anyways.
5:47 as a trans woman I barely understand tucking myself, every time I tried it hurt so bad I have no idea how they do it In general with the right choice of clothing you won't need it tho, especially after hrt when everything down there goes numb
Honestly trans women doing that “day blank of being a girl” makes me so fucking happy because they’re documenting living life as a girl and they’re all so happy and I want to cry, same with transmascs doing the opposite, I love watching people become Marie comfortable and happy with themselves
Men can never be girls. It's offensive and an insult for every woman. Imagine so doing blackface and writing "Day 1 of living as a n*****" get lost, psycho
So you think Dylan has some sort of age dysphoria? Because this is a person in their 20s talking about "girlhood" instead of "womanhood". Still, no little girl acts like that unless she's mocking a friend.
BRO my grandma will whoop anyone that misgenders me or treats me differently than anyone else. when she found out that one of my cousins wouldn’t let my wife (girlfriend at the time) come to the Christmas party because she was ‘worried about the kids’ and yada yada yada. at this time i was already 5 months on t my voice dropped and i looked a lot more masculine. on top of that all of the kids never met me because i wasn’t in the state since they were all born. all they had to say was hey thats your cousin alex and his girlfriend! nah as soon as she found out she instantly messaged her going off, and was like ‘why didn’t you tell me! i wouldn’t have gone!’ to this day she is one of my biggest supporters i love her to death
Fun Fact: the guy at 9:05 in the vid actually wrote a book about his life and being trans. It’s called Welcome to St. Hell and it’s really good! I’d definitely check it out!
I'm so glad that I grew up out of being transphobic. Like, 11 year old me would hate 18 year old me for being bisexual and genderfluid. But 7 years ago I would've been one of those ppl doing that weird bathroom arguement against trans ppl. So glad that I educated myself on these things and no longer think or believe those things about trans ppl.
Me, a trans masc person: watching this video My mother, coming into my room: hey girl, what do u wanna eat today? At least I feel home in this community
I just did my name reveal using a kahoot! AT MY SCHOOL! (We have a rainbow club and the teachers who host it let me use the room for my name reveal) My friends know I’m genderfluid and I told them I found a new name and they were really excited and eager to find out! They were waiting for a whole week (because I wanted to do the name reveal Kahoot! on and were very excited when the day came. I brought like 4 packs of gummies and my friends brought some food as well and the battle was on, and my half crush won the kahoot, they must either be really good at guessing or just know me well- I ran up to them and gave them a massive hug after my other half crush hug-tackled me on to the floor. It was super fun and I’m really glad that my friends and I got to enjoy it, instead of rumours being spread without my will.
As the mama of a transmasc enby, I agree with you on the issue of who REALLY should be called trans-parent, Dr. Jamie! It's cute and funny, but it should be for the parents who are trans. Also, I think that transmasc folks who opt to be seahorse dads are absolute rock stars. It's not the right choice for everyone. Hey, incubating and birthing tiny humans isn't even the right choice for all cis uterus owners! But as much as I gravitate to a mostly "traditional" gender role for myself, we should all make the most joyful choices for ourselves. Dare I, a nice, religious lady, say it on the internet? Yes! F*** gender norms!
My high school got unisex bathrooms and the teachers talk to you before your lesson abt pronouns and then when you go in your class, your preferred name and pronouns are put on your nametag (also using racist, sexist, homophobic and/or transphobic slurs will get u suspended 99% of the time🥰)
You ever been told you look like you identify as a cookie? I was in a Starbucks with my niece and some kid who goes to my niece’s school comes up and says hi to my niece and my niece is like “this is my aunt” and the kid says to me, “you look like you identify as a cookie,” My niece laughed so hard. I was all decked out in different colors and i had tied the front of my hair up in a ponytail like middle school boys do so I guess I looked pretty strange to this kid. I told him that if I identified as a cookie I would be a cannibal because cookies make up 80% of my diet.
came here after the most recent video (transphobic memes) cause i was VERY annoyed by transphobes BS. so glad i chose this vid. that mom and grandpa have my whole heart :') also, LOVED seeing Summer in that tiktok (7:00)
This entire video made me super happy. I'm not trans, but seeing so many happy people and so much acceptance made me giddy. And seeing Dylan's video made me really glad that young trans fem people have somebody to explain these things 💜 (I recognize that there's probably many more people out there that provide the same info, and that trans fem people probably already know, but still, I'm glad). If I could describe my mood in one word right now, it would be HAPPY. Thank you so much for all your videos and for teaching this AroAce dummy a little more about the community as a whole. 💜😄💜😄💜😄💜 Edited because I can't spell lol
When I started watching your videos, I had already accepted my sexuality, but somehow still didn't feel happy. I fully identified as a girl. I recently found out I'm actually genderfluid, so thank you for helping me understand my gender! I mean, gender is still very confusing, but at least I know more about it so thanks!
oh my goodness same!! though I don't identify as genderfluid but rather as this fuzzy cloud that floats near "girl" sometimes hahah (though this has made my romantic orientation even more of a mystery, here we go again :( ). Good luck on your further gender journey, lots of love from a fellow former "girl" :D
@@rainbowhamham27 that kinda sounds like "Demigirl", if you're looking for a label for it. But if you're not, that's completely valid! And clouds are beautiful btw
my mom posted a transparent joke on facebook to tell my family, (she asked me before hand) but she found it so funny that I couldn’t say no, and she got so excited when I said she could, definitely something I won’t forget.
